Latimer, officials take steps on Con Ed moratorium

FRESH & NEW Westchester is getting a fresh take on food. fresh&co—the healthy fast-casual franchise recognized by New Yorkers for its chef-inspired, locally-sourced and seasonal menu—will establish its very first franchise location in the county.

Westchester seniors receive $7.5K grant from Greenwich Hospital Surrounded by senior citizens at the Brooksville Terrace Apartments in Port Chester, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Mae Carpenter, Department of Senior Programs and Services commissioner, received a $7500 grant from Greenwich Hospital for the Telehealth Intervention Programs for Seniors, TIPS, Program.

The TIPS Program, an initiative overseen by the senior services department, provides twice-weekly checks of vital signs for senior citizens by a trained technician.

Norman G. Roth, Greenwich Hospital and CEO, presented a check to the county, symbolizing another year of funding for the program.

“This much needed grant will allow us to expand our TIPS Program for one more year, including the exciting Fitbit Wearables Project, which has reached a significant milestone of more than 12 million steps by our TIPS participants,” Latimer said.

Each year Greenwich Hospital sponsors, develops and participates in a wide variety of

community-based programs and services, as part of their mission to promote health and wellness.

TIPS participants have their vital signs checked weekly by a trained technician.

The data is transmitted to a nurse who reviews it remotely.

If there is cause for concern, the nurse may contact the patient, caregiver or primary care physician directly. Participants leave each session with a “TIPS Sheet” that includes their vital signs, an explanation of results and relevant recommendations or refer-

rals. This information helps seniors to manage their own health, and be proactive if they notice any changes.

“More than 53 percent of our patients live here in Westchester County,” Roth said. “We have, and will continue to support and promote the health and well-being of its residents—this is just one step of many more to come.”

For more information about the TIPS Program, contact the Department of Senior Programs and Services at 813-6408.

After Con Edison recently announced a move to abruptly and quickly halt new gas-line hook ups in Westchester County—a move that will severely impact any proposed construction projects—County Executive George Latimer announced a multi-step approach to deal with this moratorium countywide.

“This moratorium is a serious move that will impact development in Westchester County— particularly in our major cities where development has been very much part of their economic revival efforts,” Latimer said. “Our goal in county government is to bring together all local governments and plan—together—how we must respond to this.”

This approach includes: • Facilitating next steps with municipalities and Con Edison - Including a full list of projects and their timetables for construction to get a big picture of where we as a county are with demand • Enlisting the help of energy consultants who can guide us through the regulatory process; • Tasking Director of Energy and Sustainability Pete McCartt with performing a survey to explore how the county can reduce gas usage at our facilities· Tasking Director of Operations Joan McDonald with working with New York State Public

Service Commission Chairman and CEO John Rhodes to encourage Con Edison to delay the moratorium so we as a county can develop an action plan; - Additionally, Latimer will be testifying at the next Public Service Commission hearing.

• Working with the business community, and other entities, to help them navigate this moratorium and how it relates to development.

“There is no doubt in my mind that the Con Edison natural gas moratorium poses a serious challenge to the Westchester economy,” state Assemblyman David Buchwald. “It is now our task as representatives of the people and businesses of Westchester to help provide as clear a path forward as possible.”

New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson added, “We are very fortunate to benefit from the county executive’s leadership on this issue and his instantly recognizing this is a regional challenge and we must coordinate our efforts. The cities of Westchester County are going through historic renewal and it is years of painstaking efforts that put us in this position. To receive this sudden news from Con Edison is potentially very problematic—but I am confident that all of us working together can achieve a solution.”

State, county chiefs of police oppose recreational weed

On Feb. 6, the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police and the Westchester Chiefs of Police Association announced their opposition to New York’s plan to commercialize marijuana, citing significant concerns about public safety and public health.

On Feb. 6, the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police and the Westchester Chiefs of Police Association announced their opposition to New York’s plan to commercialize marijuana, citing significant concerns about public safety and public health.

The groups join the growing number of statewide organizations opposing Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s rush to push the pot industry in the state.

The statewide association, representing more than 500 police chiefs, commissioners, superintendents and other command level police executives, raised serious concerns about impaired driving and potential for greater traffic injuries and fatalities, among its many concerns.

“The fatal consequences of drugged-driving have played out on the roads across the U.S., especially in those states that have rushed to commercialize weed,” stated Dr. Kevin Sabet, former White House advisor to President Obama and President of Smart Approaches to Marijuana New York, SAM-NY. “Statistics from states that have legalized prove that this is a growing issue, with estimates showing that a third of impaired driving incidents can be traced to marijuana.”

The Association in a letter to officials, “implored the [state] Legislature to consider the negative ramifications of legalization on public safety versus the desire of some seeking financial gain and a segment of the public that crave easier access to a potentially dangerous intoxicant.”

Additionally, costs for retraining of police officers and police dogs as well as additional personnel are projected to be significant for local governments.

“For parents like Corinne Gasper of Ohio, whose daughter, Jennifer, was on the way to work when she was hit by a marijuana-impaired driver traveling more than 80 miles an hour through a red light, or Darryl Rogers of North Carolina, whose son, Chase, was killed by a woman driving with marijuana in her system, the case against legal weed is all too real,” Sabet said.

“New Yorkers have a choice - they can stand up to Big Marijuana and say no, or accept weed onto their roadways, and risk their children’s lives.”

Since legalization was passed in Colorado, drugged driving rates have more than doubled going from killing roughly one person every 6.5 days to every 2.5 days.

A nationwide report issued

last year, found that 40 percent of driver fatalities who were tested for drugs tested positive for some form of marijuana.

One groundbreaking study found that that chronic marijuana use can impair a person’s ability to drive for up to three weeks after stopping marijuana use.

Car insurance rates have also risen in states where marijuana has been legalized.

SAM-NY, the leading voice in opposition to the governor’s effort to rush through legalized weed, is organizing people across the state to contact legislators about the realities of increased pot use including significant physical and mental health impacts on drivers and young people.

The group favors decriminalization as an alternative to legalization.

“The truth about drugged-driving remains kept in the shadows, because too many people don’t understand the serious ramifications of increasing pot use among the population,” Sabet said.

“Elected officials must take time to review the science and the facts, study the outcomes in states like Colorado and California and then make an informed decision. It’s time to hit the brakes on Big Pot.” (Submitted)

Arc Westchester inspires local artists to give back The Arc Westchester supports individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in many ways, including helping them build deep connections with people and organizations in their community.

Recently, the hard work of one young woman inspired two individuals with county roots to give back to a local organization helping families in times of need.

Samantha Makris, who lives in one of The Arc Westchester’s group homes, serves as the official Arc Westchester ambassador for the Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley.

In this volunteer role, she promotes the House’s Pull Tab Collection Program. Aluminum pull tabs are collected by the House and brought to a local recycling center

where they are melted down and exchanged for money. These funds help offset the House’s expenses.

Scott Rogowsky, comedian and host of the popular HQ Trivia app, began corresponding with Samantha online several months ago.

Inspired by her story and work with the Ronald McDonald House, Rogowsky, who grew up in Harrison, made a surprise visit to The Arc Westchester on Feb. 1, with pull tabs in tow, to meet Makris and her friends, and learn more about the organization’s work.

Makris’ work also inspired local artist Jeffrey Schrier, whom she first met when he assisted Arc Westchester participants in an art project. During his visit, Schrier spoke about his artwork built out of aluminum can tabs, and Makris decided to donate four pounds of tabs to him to make a piece.

When he learned about her work with the Ronald McDonald House, Schrier donated pull tabs he was no longer using to the organization in Makris’ name.

He joined her and Ronald McDonald House staff at The Arc Westchester’s offices in January to present a $500 check for the tabs

donated.

“Samantha is truly dedicated to her work with the Ronald McDonald House, and inspires all of us throughout the organization, as well as individuals in the com-

munity, to give back,” said Tibisay (Tibi) Guzmán, executive director and CEO of The Arc Westchester.

“Our volunteer program is a pillar of our work, and we are thrilled that Scott [Rogowsky] and Jeffrey

[Schrier] recognized its importance.”

estchester is getting a fresh take on food. fresh&co—the healthy fast-casual franchise recognized by New Yorkers for its chef-inspired, locally-sourced and seasonal menu—will establish its very first franchise location in the county.

After growing to 18 corporate locations, fresh&co launched its franchising opportunity this past October and has since signed its first franchise development deal securing three restaurants.

The first franchisee-owned restaurant is slated to open in early 2019 in West-chester.“ I’m excited to bring fresh&co to the Westchester community, said Dan Unter, owner and operator of the forthcoming Westchester location.

“The brand is focused on serving meals made from all-natural ingredients that are harvested locally, while teaching guests about the best produce each season. The restaurant fosters a pleasant experience where guests can choose from a rotating daily menu, have the ability to personally customize their order and can enjoy a freshly-made meal at an affordable price. I’m confident in serving fresh&co’s menu because the food is flavorful, nutritious, and affordable—what more could

you want?”

Prior to joining the fresh&co franchise, Unter began his restaurant experience working in the back of the kitchen at theage of 16.

Slowly, he found his way to the front of the house in management positions as he worked while pursuing his college education. Even as he pursued a law degree, Unter remained active in the restaurant industry managing a café at a country club. After graduation, he found himself in the world of corporate and media law as a music attorney in San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Los Angeles for several years.

Eventually, Unter found his

way back to the restaurant industry and is the owner of a successful local deli. Now, he plans to use his knowledge of business and industry experience to successfully expand fresh&co and become a pillar of support for future franchisees.

“I have a passion for food, and love working in the industry— that’s why I kept working even throughout law school,” he said.

“I knew that coming back to the restaurant industry I wanted to own my own restaurant; one that provides high-quality service, a flavorful menu, inspires healthy habits, but most of all, food that I would feel comfortable serving to

my own kids. fresh&co checked every box for the ideal restaurant that I want to own.” fresh&co’s chef-inspired menu uses seasonal, local and organic ingredients from carefully chosen suppliers and growers to create flavorful meals that accommodate an array of dietary choices and needs.

In addition to partnering with local suppliers, fresh&co acquired its own farm in Orient, New York where they supply fruits and vegetables directly to their New York City restaurants to provide consumers the ultimate from-farmto-desk experience.

To augment the company’s growth, fresh&co is seeking

franchisee partners who have a passion for food, have strong business acumen and share the brand’s vision. Including a franchise fee of $45,000, the estimated initial investment to open a fresh&co franchise is between $633,000 and $1.5 million in New York City.

Each location typically occupies approximately 1,200-2,000 square feet of retail space and presents franchisees with multiple revenue streams (breakfast, lunch, dinner and catering).

Daniel Warren first-graders craft how-to books First-grade students, who have been exploring the craft of informational writing, are creating their own books as part of the Writing Workshop curriculum at Daniel Warren Elementary School.

Having mastered the power of a strong introduction to hook their reader into their writing piece, as well as how to use

transitional and action words, the young writers drafted their pieces and wrote introductions during a recent lesson in Melissa Wagner’s first-grade class.

As experts in their chosen topics—which ranged from how to walk a puppy to how to fold a blanket, make hot chocolate and go on a sleepover—the students broke down each step for their

readers to follow along.

“Our students get motivated and excited when it’s Writing Workshop time,” said Daniel Warren Elementary School Principal Tara Goldberg, who added that teachers dedicate 45 minutes each day to develop their students’ writing skills.

“Their personalities come out when they’re writing, and

you can hear a lot of their voice in their original pieces. As a result, the students are applying what they are learning about spelling, as well as the craft and mechanics of writing.”

Writing Workshop, a K-5 initiative at the Rye Neck schools, was implemented at the beginning of the school year to engage students in the art of writing and empower them with the tools and confidence to see themselves as writers.

Throughout the year, the students participate in five units of study to explore informational, narrative and opinion writing and build upon their writing techniques.

Similar to first-graders, kindergartners are currently exploring informational writing and are creating their own how-to books. Meanwhile, second-graders are writing their own realistic fiction books and bringing their characters to life

by including details, such as actions, internal and external dialogue, and vivid descriptions.

“Writing Workshop is an engaging way for students to practice their writing skills and to celebrate and see themselves as writers,” Goldberg said.

“They’re filled with stories, facts and strong opinions. We’re teaching them to be confident to put them on paper and through that they’re growing their skills as writers.” (Submitted)

dation also supports the Future Filmmakers Film Festival and offers summer internships, scholarships for college film studies and field trips to industry venues.

In addition to her work for MSHFF, Dale Hisiger is an experienced consultant specializing in executive coaching, training and change management. She is employed by People’s United Bank, as a learning and development business partner. Hisiger spent six years on The Picture House Board of Directors and currently is an emeritus board member. In the words of Picture House President Laura deBuys, her efforts have “elevated education at The Picture House to a level we would never have achieved without Dale’s perseverance and support.”

The 2019 Marquee Night sponsors include The Envelope, Please invitation sponsor McClellan Sotheby’s International Realty, the I’m Ready for My Close Up photo booth sponsor Bischof & Bischof LLP, and Contributing Sponsor East Coast Signs of New Rochelle.

State of the Blue-nion LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a divisive New York billionaire, unhappy with the media coverage he receives, takes punitive measures against uncooperative news outlets while simultaneously using his own platform to impugn the motives of his past employees.

If you root for the Knicks, it’s unfortunately a story you know quite well.

On Jan. 31, the New York Knicks officially parted ways with their biggest star, sending Kristaps Porzingis—and assorted flotsam—to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Dennis Smith Jr., two expiring contracts and two future first-round draft picks. The move, on its surface, makes sense. The oft-injured Porzingis was becoming increasingly frustrated with the direction of the floundering organization and

made it clear that he was unlikely to sign a long-term contract to remain a part of the team’s future.

In exchange, the Knicks picked up a viable point guard and cleared enough cap space to make a play for two max-contracts free agents in the off-season.

So it’s not the deal itself that has Knick fans shaking their heads; it’s the predictable pettiness of team owner James Dolan in the move’s aftermath that leads most to believe that the more things change, the more they remain the same.

In the wake of the blockbuster trade, the Knicks held a press conference to explain the move to local news outlets with one major exception—the Daily News, which saw beat writer Stefan Bondy barred from the event. It was a galling move for sure, but given the Daily News’ repeated criticism of Dolan’s mismanagement, and the Madison Square Garden Company chairman’s penchant for ham-fisted pettiness, it just seemed like a logical step from one of the worst-run fran-

chises in professional sports.

But Dolan didn’t stop there, of course.

During Sunday night’s MSG telecast of the Knicks’ 105-92 loss to the Detroit Pistons, the Dolan-owned television station posted an overlay with a timeline of Porzingis’ tenure with the team. Included on said graphic was a note about the 7-foot-3 allstar skipping an end-of-season exit meeting with former Knicks’ team president Phil Jackson in 2017.

Dolan using his propaganda machine to slam a player on his way out of town? Seems pretty par for the course.

But the salient thing here isn’t Dolan’s wannabe-dictator routine; it’s how garbage like this reflects the toxic cloud surrounding the club as a whole. Sure, Madison Square Garden still draws spectators, but true fans have been alienated and disconnected for quite some time. The only way to draw them back is to put out a winning product and with cap room and draft picks, the Knicks have a chance to do that

next year. But if you don’t think that the team’s mismanagement is something that will dissuade top-level free agents from signing here, I’ve got a bridge in

Brooklyn for you that can be had at a great price.

Its proximity to the Barclays Center makes it prime real estate, too. After all, that’s where

New York’s real basketball team plays, anyway.

Wrestlers prepare for sectionals

Jake Logan competes at the 2018 Section I championships. The New Rochelle senior claimed a state title at 182-pounds last year and has not lost a match since his sophomore year.

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor The top high school wrestlers in the area will get the chance to showcase their talents at the Section I championships this weekend, as competitors hit the mat for a two-day event that will see 15 sectional champions crowned.

With a number of local athletes

in the mix, the competition could well be a springboard for some of the Review’s wrestling programs.

No area team will be sending more wrestlers to the Section I championships than New Rochelle, which qualified 11 grapplers for the competition. Chief among those set to compete this weekend is 182-pounder Jake Logan, who ran roughshod over

opponents at the Huguenots’ qualifying tournament at Horace Greeley on Feb. 2. The New Rochelle senior has gone undefeated since his sophomore year and is the reigning state champion in the weight class, making him the clear favorite at 182 pounds.

Harrison’s Zach Finn competes against an Eastchester wrestler in December. Finn will move up in weigh to compete at 220 pounds this weekend.

with New Rochelle junior Nick Thomas, currently ranked No. 3 at 182, en route to a successful title defense.

The Huguenots have two more wrestlers riding a hot streak into the competition, as Cameron Burrell (145 pounds) and Sebastian Lujaj (220) both won their weight classes at the qualifying meet to punch their tickets to sectionals.

Mamaroneck will send nine wrestlers to the tournament, and will have great depth in both the 113 and 126-pound division. At the team’s qualifying meet last Saturday, Joey Rodas and Jesse Beers took second and third, respectively, in the 113-pound weight class, while Nahuel Rodriguez finished first at 126 to go along with a fourth-place showing by Mickey O’Brien.

One of the more intriguing entrants in the upcoming tournament will be Harrison High School senior Zach Finn, who will compete at 220 pounds despite spending

most of the year at 195. Huskies coach Vin Nicita believes that Finn’s quickness should give him an edge against larger opponents, something that was evident at the Westchester County Championships in January, where Finn took home a gold medal.

“We looked at him in terms of where he had the best chance,” Nicita said. “He’s so athletic, and if he can take advantage of his speed, he has a better chance to win it all at 220 pounds.”

Finn will headline a group of eight Harrison wrestlers that also includes Tyler Joseph, who is expected to contend for a title at 132 pounds. Joseph lost a 5-3 decision to top-ranked 132-pounder Firas Zoha at the qualifiers on Saturday, but Nicita believes that his charge can compete with the best in the division.

“When the seeds come out, Tyler will probably be ranked fourth, so we will probably see Zoha in the semifinals,” he said.

“He was right there with him on [Feb. 2], so it will be a good test.”

Eastchester’s Tommy Dell’Aera is also expected to perform well this weekend after topping Mamaroneck’s Andrew Rosenfeld 7-0 in the 120-pound finals last weekend, while Rye’s Tyler Webb could match up against Finn in the 220-pound bracket after securing a 10-5 overtime decision against Ossining’s Izaiah Steen on Saturday.

The Section I Championships will kick off on Feb. 9 at Arlington High School and will conclude the next day at Clarkstown South. From now until then, local wrestlers will be trying to fine-tune their skills as they prepare for the competition ahead.

“We’re going to work out with a couple of different teams this week,” Nicita said. “We want our kids to see some different people and work on the best matchups for getting them ready.”
