County partners with the Bronx River Alliance to study river Westchester County Executive George Latimer, the county Department of Planning and Bronx River Alliance are joining together to conduct a study of the Bronx River. The study is intended to update the 2010 Inter-Municipal Watershed Management Plan, and develop a climate change resilience strategy for the river.

The study is funded by a $245,428 grant from the New York State Department of State’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program. The grant will be matched by the Soil and Water Conservation District study and in-kind services from the county, the Bronx River Alliance, the Bronx Borough President’s Of-

fice and other study partners.

“Hundreds of thousands of commuters pass over the Bronx River each day, but most of them probably don’t think about what lies underneath,” Latimer said.

“For decades, the Bronx River has served as a place for people to bike, fish, canoe and explore nature, and it is on us to make sure that it is preserved and protected.

This study will ensure that the Bronx River corridor remains a healthy educational, recreational and ecological resource for communities stretching from northern Westchester to the Bronx.”

Westchester County has been working closely with Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz

Jr., who has been a part of discussions concerning the Bronx River for many years. This study will continue the cooperation and collaboration between Westchester and Bronx counties.

“I have many childhood memories of The Bronx River and it has come a long way since our restoration efforts dating back to my time in the State Assembly,” Diaz Jr. said. “It’s a community resource that needs to be protected from the effects of climate change and the results of this study will help preserve it for generations of children to come.”

The study will include public engagement in the plan development, ecological site assessment and water quality testing. The

county Soil and Water Conservation District will also provide a detailed analysis about the river and its floodplain, including potential problem areas for flooding and erosion, as well as solutions.

“The Bronx River Reservation continues to be an incredible resource for all that use it for walking, biking and driving, and ensuring its ecological health is critical,” said Norma Drummond, commissioner of the county Department of Planning.

Westchester is working with the state and the Bronx River Alliance to draft the necessary agreements, and the project is expected to begin later this year.

Monroe College student diagnosed with Tuberculosis The Westchester County Health Department has learned that a Monroe College student at the New Rochelle campus was diagnosed with active Tuberculosis. The student, who is not from Westchester, is being treated, is not on campus, and is expected to make a full recovery.

The county Health Department, working closely with Monroe College, has identified and notified those students and faculty who were exposed, to recommend and offer free evaluation and testing, according to Caren Halbfinger, director of public affairs for the county Health Department.

Tuberculosis is an infection that usually causes cough and fever. It spreads through the air when a person with active Tuberculosis coughs or sneezes. A long period of close contact with an infected person is usually required for tuberculosis to be transmitted.

In 2018, Westchester County had the second highest case rate of residents with Tuberculosis

outside of New York City, according to the state Department of Health. Last year, cases of active Tuberculosis were identified in Westchester residents who ranged in age from 8 to 81 years old. Tuberculosis also touched the lives of hundreds of Westchester residents who were exposed to someone with the infectious disease at work, school or home, in a social setting or a healthcare facility.

The county Department of Health informed them about their exposure, offered them screening to determine whether they had the disease, and provided follow-up treatment to those who needed it.

People with Tuberculosis disease can be treated and cured if they seek medical help. Tuberculosis evaluation and treatment are available at the county Health Department clinics in White Plains and Yonkers, as well as at neighborhood health centers and family care centers throughout County. To inquire about evaluation or treatment, please call 9955800. (Submitted)

County Jail recognizes Autism Awareness Month Every day since he was hired in March of 1989, Warren Forbes has played a key role in the daily operations of the county’s Department of Correction. Unlike many of his 900-plus colleagues, Forbes is not a warden, a correction officer, a nurse or a teacher. He is an office assistant with a unique set of skills, including an exceptional ability to manage the hundreds of thousands of documents maintained in the daily running of the correctional complex. And, like many of his co-workers’ children, their friends and loved ones, Forbes is affected by an autism spectrum disorder.

Autism spectrum disorders, ASDs, include a broad range of conditions that present individuals with certain challenges, as well as unique strengths and personal attributes. The Center for Disease Controls estimates that one in 68 American children has an ASD, with the rate higher for boys than girls. ASDs vary widely in their nature and severity and are present in all races, ethnicities and regardless of socioeconomic standing.

Each day at the County Jail, Forbes works side-by-side with correctional staff in a critical area of the Department’s operation: intake booking and records. He is known for his innate ability to track down a document, often recalling exactly where it may be in a records room of several hundred boxes. Moreover, with 30 years of service, Forbes is the third longest tenured corrections employee.

“For 30 years, Warren has been one of our most reliable resources when it comes to managing and

locating critical information,” said Corrections Commissioner Joseph Spano. “At every level of DOC, we rely on Warren’s expertise daily, and we greatly appreciate his many contributions over the last three decades.”

Sergeant Ivan Lopez works with Forbes in booking every day, and has a seven-year-old son diagnosed with a spectrum disorder.

For several years, Lopez has been actively involved in national awareness campaigns such as Autism Speaks. In the last few years, he and his sisters- and brothers-in-blue have arranged for police cars to be emblazoned with Autism Awareness logos.

“Almost every person that I know has a loved on—whether it’s their own family member, a neighbor or a friend—who is affected in some way by a spectrum disorder,” Lopez said. “As a parent and an advocate, I believe it is critical that we recognize that people diagnosed with spectrum disorders have the same interests, aspirations, like and dislikes as the rest of us. As importantly, they can make huge contributions to our society when given the opportunity.”

As part of the Department of Correction’s campaign to raise ASD awareness, Lopez designed t-shirts incorporating both the Au-

tism Speaks puzzle piece logo and well as the traditional law enforcement ‘thin blue line.’ The Department of Correction and its unions (COBA and SOA) will be conducting other fundraisers and public appearances throughout the year, including display of its Autism Awareness shields during community events and parades, as well as by hosting a Mentoring Day in partnership with the county Office for People with Disabilities.

“The Department of Correction’s participation in Mentoring Day provides our clients with access to a unique aspect of county government and, as importantly, shows each of them that there are many exciting opportunities available regardless of individual limitations,” said Evan Latainer, director of the Office for People with Disabilities.

Latimer lauds police, emergency services dispatchers As the nation marks National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, County Executive George Latimer is recognizing the dispatchers who work for the county’s Departments of Public Safety and Emergency Services for the professionalism and skill they bring to their jobs every day.

The county’s two dispatch centers—the Communications Unit at the Department of Public Safety and the Emergency Communications Center at the Department of Emergency Services—handled more than 300,000 calls for assistance in 2018.

“In times of crisis and emergency, people call 911,” Latimer said. “The telecommunications professionals who work for Westchester County are a lifeline to those who need help and an in-

valuable resource to the first responders they dispatch to answer the call. I am grateful to our DPS and DES communications personnel for the tremendous job they do, often under very stressful circumstances.”

In 2018, the county Police Communications Unit handled more than 145,000 calls for service from the public—including more than 21,000 emergency calls via 911. Commo, as it is informally called, has 19 communication operators, including five senior communication operators, and is augmented by three police officers assigned to the unit. It also broadcasts hotline messages and mutual aid requests for all police agencies in Westchester.

At DES, the Emergency Communication Center, ECC, also

known as 60 Control, 181,971 phone events and managed 139,366 Computer Aided Dispatch, CAD, requests were processed. The ECC is staffed with 19 communication operators and five shift supervisors. In addition, there is a CAD supervisor, operations captain, quality assurance manager, radio system manager and others that support the technology and operations.

The ECC provides primary dispatch services to 52 fire and 31 EMS agencies in the county.

It also manages all the fire and EMS mutual aid requests for the county.

National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week was launched in 1981 and is marked during the second full week of April each year. (Submitted)

Westchester County welcomes the New York Streets On the steps of the iconic Westchester County Center, County Executive George Latimer welcomed the New York Streets to their new home.

“We want to show them a great Westchester welcome,” Latimer said. “We want the people of this County to come to the games, give the Streets a home-field advantage, and be able to say ‘we remember when it all started.’”

Joined by Streets owners Corey and Tamara Galloway, Head Coach Rick Marsilio, National Arena League Commissioner Chris Siegfried and Streets players and dancers, Latimer gave a true “Westchester Welcome” including hot dogs from Walter’s and tickets to Playland Park in Rye to ride the Dragon Coaster.

The New York Streets, the National Arena League’s newest franchise is set to begin play at the Westchester County Center on April 20 when they host the Orlando Predators. The Streets, who won their inaugural game Saturday night defeating the Jacksonville Sharks, 52-41, are owned by New Rochelle residents.

Corey Galloway, who handed the county executive a football as he went to the podium, said, “We are so proud to call the Westchester County Center the home of the Streets. It was a goal we started three years ago and are happy to be here today.”

Tamara Galloway said: “We hope this team will not only add to the economic development of Westchester but add to the community and bring a sense of pride,” said Tamara Galloway.

“This team isn’t just a business, it’s a family and we are committed [to] always putting our finest foot forward. Corey and I are so humbled to be the first black owners of a professional sports team in New York and are so happy Westchester is part of that story.”

Arena Football has a rich history in the New York/New Jersey area dating back to the New York Knights which played at Madison Square Garden in 1988. New York had been without an Arena Football team since 2008 when the New York Dragons completed an eight-year run at the Nassau Coliseum. Galloway attend-

ed many Dragons games as a fan and now has fulfilled a dream. He has brought Arena Football back to New York and now the Streets are ready to hit the gridiron this spring.

“Speaking for our coaches and our players, we are excited to be here and be accepted into the community,” Marsilio said. “We want do some really great things here, both on and off the field, and it is my job to prepare us to do that. We will be entrenched in this community and we are going to bring great things.”

Arena Football features an eight on eight format played on a 50-yard field surrounded by dasher boards. The Streets are led by veteran Arena Football Head Coach Marsilio and former Syracuse quarterback David Legree.

Visit nystreetsfootball.com for the latest news including player signings, merchandise and promotions as well as details on how you can order season tickets, purchase individual tickets or book your group to come out and see the Streets in action.

Tickets are also available on Ticketmaster.com. (Submitted)

Chef Brian Lewis returns to Westchester

Westchester native Chef Brian Lewis returns to New York, bringing his Japanese inspired cuisine to Rye with OKO. Located at 29 Purchase St., at the corner of Locust Avenue, the 50-seat restaurant will showcase Lewis’ innovative take on traditional Japanese cuisine and Nigiri sushi, in a lively and charming atmosphere. OKO is slated to open later this summer.

“Westchester has a special place in my heart, having grown up in Somers and fallen in love with cooking during my early restaurant experiences working in high school,” Lewis said. “My team and I are thrilled to be expanding our OKO concept to Rye. Ten years ago, I returned to Westchester to be the Founding Chef at Richard Gere’s The Bedford Post Inn, and as we round the corner on our one-year anniversary of OKO’s first location in Westport, Connecticut, the time seemed right for me to return to my roots in New York to share my love of this cuisine with the community.”

The menu at OKO will celebrate classic Japanese culinary techniques and traditions, while marrying Lewis’ signature cooking style with ingredients from

Major roadway projects at the forefront of the village BRONXVILLE TODAY Mayor Mary Marvin

Now that spring is finally here, the village is abuzz with public works projects: some a joy to look at as we refurbish parks, others sources of frustration due to road closures and detours.

Usually the projects are village driven, but now many Westchester County projects that affect the village have reached the top of the queue. Chief among them is the Palmer Avenue Bridge and related road closure which began on April 10 and is expected to last until June 28.

These major structural repairs needed have been years in planning and by necessity is coordinated solely by the county based on engineering work schedules, public bid outreach for the mandatory Request for Proposals, RFPs, and then the awarding of the contract. In an ideal world, we would have loved the major closure to be over the summer months, as would every other community, but it was not ours to choose. For added information, the Westchester County Traffic Engineering Division posted a number 995-2555.

Next on the county’s capital projects’ agenda that will greatly affect Bronxville traffic flow is structural repairs to the Midland Avenue Bridge. They are major, including the actual raising of the center bridge supports. The project is expected to go out for bid in June with future construction dates premature at this time.

The repairs are further complicated by the fact that it impacts the entrance to the Sprain Brook Parkway and Con Edison has decided to take the opportunity of the opening of the road

bed to install a new gas line along Midland Avenue. As soon as we receive any additional information on the timetable, we will share.

Last in the series of county capital projects is a repair of the West Pondfield Road Bridge near River House. Only in the engineering phase, we expect this project to commence in 2020. All of the above projects are a result of needs assessments based on collaboration between the state Department of Transportation and the county Traffic Engineering Division.

The bright spot at the end of all of this upheaval will be the repaving of the Bronx River Parkway from the Sprain Brook Parkway north to Scarsdale.

On the village capital project front, we are in the final engineering phase of the rebuilding of our Department of Public Works facility. Last overhauled in 1942, the project is long overdue. The plans have been tweaked thanks to the input of our DPW staff. As a result of consultation, a more appropriate washroom area has been added as well as a place for overnight rest during storms and outages.

The garage will house all of our complex equipment, adding years to its usable life and the entire facility will become much more eco-friendly including solar panels on parts of the roof.

The historically attractive brick façade will be repaired, not replaced so residents of Normandy Terrace will have a consistent classical view.

The reconfiguration will also add parking spaces, hopefully to the benefit of the nearby schools and the Senior Citizen Program.

If you drove by this week, you would have seen a concrete mixer pouring the new sidewalk from the Parkway Road

Parking Lot to the train station.

Work continues to progress on schedule on the lot itself. When completed, ideally at the end of June, the village will have 80 parking spaces, the majority of which will be leased for commuter use.

We hope to accommodate residents on Parkway Road with some additional parking options as well and the lot can be used all weekend for West Side businesses and restaurants. It also will be much more aesthetically and ecologically appealing with tree pits, improved drainage, scooter parking, a charging station and safe bicycle storage.

Upon school year completion, sanitary sewer pipes, chiefly along Midland Avenue will be lined and attendant repairs made, most prominently near the Midland Avenue/Tanglewylde Avenue environs.

On the beautification front, the village is partnering with the Bronxville Beautification Committee to refurbish Bicentennial Park, the pocket park on the corner of Meadow Avenue and Pondfield Road.

As I write, surveyors are at Bacon Woods Park, which straddles Kensington and Sagamore roads. We have commissioned Gisolfi and Associates to draw up plans for refurbishment immediately following. This open space is a village treasure and we are committed to making it a beautiful and functional oasis.

Many more village capital projects are in the queue including additional teardrop lighting on the West Side near the railroad station and body cameras for our police officers.

The trustees will prioritize after reviewing the Village Survey results so we remain attuned to the needs and desires of our taxpayers.

Bronxville NPC seeks new members The Bronxville Non-Partisan Committee, NPC, is seeking candidates for new members. The NPC has 21 members, comprised of three elected representatives from each of the village’s seven

voting districts who serve staggered three-year terms. The NPC was formed in 1936 to foster the election of Trustees of The Bronxville School on a non-partisan basis. Residents can have

Connect with us on

their names placed on an electronic ballot for election to the NPC by submitting an application found on bronxvillenpc.com by 5 p.m., on Saturday, April 27.

The Review, in collaboration with ArtsWestchester, offers a rundown of art-related events throughout Westchester County. You can find our Arts in the Area page each month.

Performances inspired by James Van Der Zee’s Modern Family photos The photo exhibition “Modern Families,” on view at ArtsWestchester through May 25, explores diverse representations of what “family” means through the works of James Van Der Zee and 10 contemporary photographers. A slate of events scheduled for April and May expand on the themes presented in the show.

“The programs highlight the diversity of families in our community,” says Aaron Paige, Director of Folk Arts.

On May 4, “Performing Families,” an evening of music, dance and conversation, will feature two award-winning “families of choice”: The Legendary House of Comme des Garçons and Prestige.

The significance of chosen families to LGBTQ communities is at the center of “One Stride” on May 3. The evening features a talk about queer kinship by Sarah Lawrence Professor Dr. Mary A. Porter, a screening of award-winning Director/Producer Stephen Winter’s short documentary “One Stride: Chosen Family,” a talkback with Winter, and a special performance by the the LOFT’s Pride Chorus.

“James Van Der Zee’s Family Portraits: A Dialogue with Dr. Drew Sawyer and Donna Mussenden Van Der Zee” rounds out spring programming on May 9. “Modern Families” is anchored by the rarely exhibited works of Van Der Zee. His wife Donna is joined by art historian Drew Sawyer for a lively discussion about the photographs, practice and impact of the Harlem Renaissance giant. For more info, visit artsw.org/events.

Arthur Dove shoots for the moon—and delivers Through more than 60 paintings and works on paper, including loans from museums and private collections throughout the U.S., the moon is the center of the universe at a Hudson River Museum exhibit through May 12. “The Color of the Moon: Lunar Painting in American Art,” explores curiosity with the celestial body and coincides with both the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission and the museum’s planetarium. The show spans 150 years of art and is organized around three main groups: “Popular Moon from Myth to Destination” includes scenes of goddess Diana by Samuel F. B. Morse and a painting of the Apollo 11 takeoff by Jamie Wyeth; “The Romantic Moon from the Hudson River School to 20-th Century Modernists” features work by Thomas Cole and Arthur Dove; “The Moody Moon from Forest Glades to the Open Sea” is preoccupied with spirituality and moonlight at the end of the 19th century with paintings by Edward Bannister and George Inness.

“The prevalence of the moon in American art speaks to its universal appeal; it is something that unites us across the globe. Visitors will be awestruck by these views,” says co-curator Laura Vookles, chairwoman of the Hudson River Museum’s Curatorial Department. For more info and related programing, visit hrm.org.

Greenwich couple funds Neuberger acquisition In March, Tracy Fitzpatrick, director of the Neuberger Museum of Art, announced the acquisition of Approach by Eric Aho, made possible by a major gift from Lori and Yale I. Paprin. Ardent contemporary art collectors and avid supporters of the Neuberger, the Paprins signed the $40,000 check for one of the American artist’s large-scale gestural paintings from the DC Moore gallery in New York in consultation with Fitzpatrick and the museum’s Chief Curator Helaine Posner. Other new additions to the collection include works by Louise Fishman, Stephen Mueller, Ann Messner, Dulce Pinzon and Betsabee Romero. Along with Aho’s painting, they are on view in Recent Acquisitions through June 16.

Earning his stripes LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

On April 14, Tiger Woods shocked the golf world by winning the Masters Tournament at the age of 43. Woods—once the biggest name in golf—was able to win his first Masters since 2005 after experiencing myriad of personal and professional setbacks is impressive on it’s own, but I can’t help wonder if we, as sports fans, aren’t making too much of his redemption arc.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m a Tiger fan. I’m a child of the 90’s, so to me, Tiger is golf. Heck, the last time I was this exhilarated by the Masters was back in 2005 when Woods holed out on that masterful chipshot on the 16th hole. But all this fawning over Tigers’ comeback is—at least on some level— preposterous.

If it was just the back surgeries that kept Woods from competing at a high level for just about a decade, I’d get it. We love it when

our athletes battle against, and defeat the aging process, if only for a short time. But it wasn’t just the bad back that hamstrung Tiger Woods; it was Tiger himself.

I don’t have the inclination— or the space—to list all of Tigers’ misdeeds over the past 15 years, but suffice it to say, things haven’t been pretty in Tigerland. And I’m as happy as anyone that he’s seemingly been able to straighten his life out, at least as far as golf goes. But to see sports fans and sportscasters gush about that comeback leaves me scratching my head. Heck, President Trump is even giving Woods the Presidential Medal of Freedom. But it’s important to keep in mind that this isn’t Ben Hogan coming back from a near-fatal car accident. This is simply the case of a man doing his job at a high level after his numerous indiscretions tore his life apart.

Tiger Woods isn’t a hero, he’s not a role model; he’s a cautionary tale at best. What he certainly is, is a great example of how our society venerates those with a supreme and singular talent. Sure, he’s great at golf and any Sunday

with Tiger in the mix is a mustsee affair. But does that mean he’s worthy of your adoration?

His comeback is great for golf, without a doubt. I’m happy for a generation of young golf fans that never got to witness “Red Shirt” Tiger Woods and will now have an indelible memory of a man who is quite possibly the greatest player to ever set foot on a golf course.

But don’t conflate his talent with his character, because he’s shown us time and again who he really is. And this doesn’t just apply to Tiger Woods; it’s important for sports fans to be able to delineate between what an athlete can accomplish in his given field and the example he sets away from his profession.

So, kudos to Mr. Woods on his win at the Masters. I wish him nothing but success on the golf course from here on out, and I’ll certainly be tuning in the next time he tees one up. I just hope he’ll be a better example for our youth in the future.

Tiger Woods captured his fifth Masters win on April 14. But Sports Editor Mike Smith isn’t so sure that Tiger is the best role model for our youth.
