Iona to offer CNR students scholarships

Worth the wait

A new exhibition opening early in March will feature a significant collection of 33 works, including six vintage prints, by Harlem Renaissance photographer James Van Der Zee. For more, see page 6.

Active shooter event training being offered to public Westchester County is offering an opportunity for residents to learn the strategies and skills they could use to survive if an active shooter event occurred in their place of work or other public venue. Known as Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events, CRASE, the training class will be offered on Wednesday, March 6 from 10 a.m. to noon at the Westchester County Center in White Plains. The training is free and open to the public. CRASE training is a training program used by corporations,

schools, workplaces, governments and law enforcement officers all over the country to raise awareness, educate and empower residents with the knowledge they may need if they find themselves in this nightmare scenario. “Government’s most important job is ensuring the safety of its residents – and CRASE training is just another way we can meet that important task,” Latimer said. “This is a wonderful opportunity to inform and empower yourself in case of emergency.”

CRASE training is built around the principles of Avoid, Deny and Defend. The Westchester County police officers who conduct the training provide practical guidance and actions that the public can take during each of these stages, Public Safety Commissioner Thomas Gleason said. Gleason said: “CRASE is a proven plan to increase the odds of surviving if you are present during an active shooter incident,” Gleason said. Westchester County police

have already provided CRASE training to hundreds of county employees, many school district employees and other members of law enforcement, who have brought the training back to their local communities. In addition, county police have worked closely with educators, staff and students to enhance the prevention of, and response to, an active shooter event in school buildings where county police officers serve as School Resource Officers.

Following The College of New Rochelle’s statement on Friday, Feb. 22, that the 115-yearold institution would likely close in the summer of 2019, Iona College announced plans to support CNR students. “Recognizing our shared mission, history and home in the city of New Rochelle, we believe it is vital to take steps to support students of The College of New Rochelle,” said Dr. Joseph E. Nyre, president of Iona College. “We are confident other area institutions will also work to support CNR students.” Iona will provide special scholarships for CNR graduate students to transfer to similar Iona graduate programs including Marriage and Family Therapy, Mental Health Counseling, School Psychology, Childhood Education, and Communication Sciences and Disorders, among others. Graduate students interested in speaking with a graduate transfer specialist are invited to email helpingstudents@iona.edu. In addition, Iona will assist qualified undergraduate transfer students who wish to continue their studies in New Rochelle by offering special transfer credit reviews, tours and financial aid assistance. CNR undergraduate students and their families will be welcomed to the Iona campus during the next regularly scheduled Transfer Tuesday event on Tuesday, Feb. 26, at 10 a.m., to tour campus, and learn more about Iona academic programs, residential and campus life. For additional information on undergraduate transfer admissions procedures and requirements, prospective students and families are invited to email Iona admissions

counselor DJ Arndt at darndt@ iona.edu or call Iona’s Office of Admissions at 633-2502. Iona has been increasingly investing in academic infrastructure to launch and enhance nationally recognized programs. This fall, the college announced that construction will soon be complete on its new stateof-the-art business school facility, which will serve its nationally recognized and AACSB-accredited LaPenta School of Business. The college also recently launched the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation, a graduate program in Speech Language Pathology, and a new Occupational Therapy graduate program that will welcome its first class this fall. As Iona continues to enhance its academic portfolio, particularly in the area of Allied Health Sciences, it announces the hiring of Dr. Debra A. Simons, as director of Allied Health Initiatives. Dr. Simons currently serves as dean of the School of Nursing and Healthcare Professions at The College of New Rochelle and will join the Iona community on March 4. “Building on our growing presence in health science and allied healthcare programs, and in recognition of the national nursing shortage, we look forward to working with Dr. Simons to expand our current programs to include additional allied health programs,” said Dr. Darrell P. Wheeler, Iona College provost and senior vice president of academic affairs. “The announcement by CNR of their summer closure underscores the need for nursing in our area, as well as a continued pipeline to ensure local workforce needs are met.” (Submitted)

County Veterans Agency awarded grant with Iona

Westchester County, in partnership with Iona College, has been awarded a Workforce Development Institute grant. These funds will be put toward developing a veterans’ communication project aimed toward providing vets with skills and strengths that will lead to future employment. File photo

Continuing the Latimer Administration’s efforts to support veterans here at home, Westchester County has been awarded a Workforce Development Institute, WDI, grant. These funds will be put toward developing a veterans’ communication project aimed toward providing vets with skills and strengths that will lead to future employment. “These folks who gave so much for us by fighting to protect our freedoms deserve as much support as we can possible give them upon their return home.,” County Executive George Latimer said. “This grant is a small step toward providing that support— and we look forward to seeing the results it will produce.” The grant project, entitled Westchester County Veterans Communication Improvement, aims to assess the needs of the veteran population in order to better serve them by providing communication skills training, workshops and services. Ultimately, these services could enhance and improve veteran’s employment opportuni-

ties and enable them to enter the workforce. Westchester County Veterans Agency Director Ron Tocci said: “Our department is tasked with finding solutions to the challenges Westchester County veterans face here in our own backyard,” said Ron Tocci, county Veterans Agency director. “This grant will make it that much easier for our vets to find gainful employment—which is key to tackling all other challenges they may face when they come back home.” Sonja Brown, Workforce Development Institute Lower Hudson Valley regional director, added, “There is a strong need to provide communication skills, a skill necessary for employment opportunities, through innovative support programs and services to our veterans in Westchester County. The Westchester County Veterans Communication Improvement Project, in partnership with WDI, Iona College and Westchester County, will hopefully serve as a model throughout New York State.” WDI is a statewide organi-

zation that works regionally to identify targeted strategies that address workforce challenges, trends and opportunities. These strategies can include partnerships, training and funding. Many issues impact individuals’ capacity, productivity and earnings in the workplace market. WDI provides programs and services to help individuals thrive in the workplace. Building stronger communities in partnership with a focus to grow and keep good jobs in New York. “The Iona College Speech Communication Studies Department is honored to have the opportunity to partner with local veterans to sharpen their communication skills. We continue to work with veterans in developing “story scripts” to effectively enhance the interview process for veterans seeking employment, and we are grateful for the generous funding for this opportunity through the Workforce Development Institute,” said Dr. Jennifer Gerometta, chairwoman of Speech Communications Studies at Iona College.

County announces $8.7M for North County Trailway Standing beside a North County Trailhead on the North County Trailway in Mount Pleasant, Westchester County Executive George Latimer announced a capital project to improve the 22.1mile North County Trailway. The construction on Westchester County’s popular, multi-use trailway that runs from Eastview near the Greenburgh-Mount Pleasant border north to Putnam County, is underway thanks to the county Board of Legislators’ approval of an $8.7 million bond. “I am pleased that we will be able to make long-awaited improvements to this tremendously popular trail,” Latimer said. “This will be the first major construction project on the trail since it was first built in the 1980’s. It will be a win for all of us who

enjoy the trail when it is finally restored to like-new condition.” The North County Trailway was built along the Putnam Division railbed of the former New York Central Railroad, known colloquially in its day as the “Old Put.” The line provided freight and passenger service between the Bronx and Putnam County from 1881 to 1958. “This trail is a great resource for the Westchester Cycle club,” said Christine Schopen, president of the Westchester Cycle Club. “We are really proud of it, it’s beautiful and we use it all the time. Every level rider in our club has been on the trail. We really appreciate that it’s going to be repaired so we can use it safely.” This Trailway provides a great place to walk, jog and bicycle

The North County Trailway project includes

nearly year round. It is a great asset to our County Parks system,” said Kathy O’Connor, commissioner of the county Parks Department. “I look forward to its restoration.” The North County Trailway traverses the towns of Mount Pleasant, New Castle, Yorktown and Somers. It connects to the South County Trailway, which runs to Westchester’s border with the Bronx. The bond act also includes $300,000 for design of planned improvements to the South County Trailway, which connects to the North County Trailway at Eastview and continues south to the Bronx border. The project is expected to take approximately 14 months to complete. (Submitted)

Rare Van Der Zee photographs

d Matheus, Generation an Menjivar “Rubi, Second a itz Iar ” by First Generation

at ArtsWestchester Gallery A new exhibition opening in March at ArtsWestchester’s gallery will feature a significant collection of 33 works, including six vintage prints, by Harlem Renaissance photographer James Van Der Zee. In the era between the two World Wars, Van Der Zee’s New York studio was a place where the rising African-American middle class in Harlem could be represented as they wished to be seen. Van Der Zee’s photographs, chosen and loaned by Westchester resident Donna Mussenden Van Der Zee, the photographer’s widow, provided the inspiration for ArtsWestchester’s new exhibit titled “Modern Families.” The show also features work by 10 contemporary photographers who address themes of family and community from diverse points of view. “Modern Families” opens March 3 and runs through May 25 in the ArtsWestchester Gallery located at 31 Mamaroneck Ave., in White Plains. “The bonds of family—both given and chosen—are some of the most powerful forces in our lives and our communities,” said Janet T. Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester. “This exhibition explores the diverse faces and relationships that represent ‘family’ from the perspectives of eleven regional photographers.” The contemporary works in the exhibition include both studio-style portraiture and documentary work in which individuals and their given or chosen families interact in a variety of encounters between photographer and subject. Chris Verene and Gillian Laub document their own extended families and friends in Galesburg, Illinois and suburban Westchester. Iaritza Menjivar records her experience as the daughter of immigrants in an ongoing project titled “First Generation.” Tom Atwood’s series, “Kings and Queens in Their Castles,”

frames the gestures and expressions of LGBT couples and friends in richly informative home environments, while Stefan Radtke’s portraits of a wide range of Westchester families are compelling works of editorial photography. Barry Mason’s ties to communities in Mount Vernon are evident in his photos of families at public and private gatherings, and Shayok Mukopadhyay’s portfolio, “The People of Port Chester” unfolds in one of Westchester’s most diverse cities. Ocean Morisset’s street photography includes portraits of young LGBT groups that exemplify the chosen family as a source of affinity and pride. In Sandra Wong Geroux’s photos, the domestic family and communities intersect in images of her son and the athletic teams of his schools and their competitors. John Shearer’s landmark images from his chronicle of a street gang in the South Bronx in the early 1970s investigate an extreme form of “family” bonds. “The families we are given—blood relations—provide frameworks for the families we choose,” said Kathleen Reckling, ArtsWestchester director of public programs. “Groups united by shared values, lifestyles or emotional needs—religious associations, sports teams or community groups, for example—may also be defined and experienced as family. Whether the ones made for us or the ones we make, the families we recognize are networks of support and interaction that contribute to our identities in the larger world. We invite you to explore all of this and more at ArtsWestchester.” “Modern Families” is curated by Kathleen Reckling and Amy Kurlander. Group tours are available by appointment.

Mayors Conference highlights cannabis legislation BRONXVILLE TODAY Mayor Mary Marvin

I spent part of last week in Albany at the annual Mayors Conference to get a grasp of what was happening at the seat of government and its possible effects on Bronxville. The experience was quite worthwhile as a primer on our state in general, much of the information courtesy of talks by Attorney General Letitia James and Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli. Sadly, New York State is two very different states—one Rockland County and south and the other “Upstate.” As illustration, many of my upstate colleagues No. 1 priority was dealing with the proliferation of “zombie homes”—empty residences that have been abandoned and/or taken over by squatters, decreasing value of entire neighborhoods. Currently, there is no time limit for banks to execute foreclosure proceedings so homes are left desolate for years on end. One colleague was so frustrated by their blight he had their DPW board up all the windows and doors at taxpayer expense. State Overview • Unemployment statewide is at 3.9 percent versus 9 percent during the height of the recession with 975,000 more jobs now added than were lost during that same period. However 90 percent of the newly created jobs are in the counties from Westchester and Rockland south. Many upstate counties saw the unemployment rate decrease locally because people simply left the job market. • The direct municipal aid to 400 New York villages including our own was not reinstated. Nine of the 10 villages in “fiscal stress” lost all their state aid. • The average property tax in New York is $22,000. As a result, many residents are impacted adversely by the SALT cap of the

$10,000 property tax deduction. • The state has an unanticipated short fall of more than $2 billion in expected tax revenues. • North of New York City, 58.3 percent of properties receive some level of tax exemptions. • New York State receives 90 cents in return for every $1 it sends to Washington. The average return to states is $1.19 with only New Jersey and North Dakota having a less favorable rate of return than New York. • New York State has never had a municipal bankruptcy but 37 communities (2.5 percent) and 14.5 percent of counties are in “fiscal stress.” • New York, via the Attorney General’s Office, has 200 pending lawsuits against the federal government, many of them directed at the EPA. • The New York State pension fund has at an all-time high value of $207.4 billion, though it lost $197.3 million in the month of December. Pew Research Institute rates our pension fund in the top four nationwide with assets at 90 percent, plus needed funds for the 1.1 million people in the system. • Currently, the State Treasury is holding $14 billion in unclaimed funds with more than $468 million returned to taxpayer in fiscal year 2018. (We at the village had $140 found and returned) • The last time the citizenship question was asked on a Census was in 1950. In 2010, 69 percent of New Yorkers responded versus a 76 percent response nationwide. Only 61 percent of New York City residents answered. Census responses not only could help staunch the loss of any more congressional seats but the data is also used as a matrix when dealing with health emergencies. For example, when Long Island City had a massive measles outbreak about a decade ago, Census numbers were used to calculate the needed number of vaccines, resulting in a major shortfall of needed medicine. • The one piece of potential leg-

Connect with us on

islation of most concern to mayors that was laid out in the Governor’s Executive Budget was the legalization of cannabis and the corresponding retail outlets, resulting in the creation of an entirely new government agency, Department of Cannabis Management. • As written, the legislation would legalize recreational cannabis for those 21 and older. County governments can opt out and prohibit any cannabis operations in their respective counties. If a county does not opt out, cities within having a population of 100,000 may opt out independently. (Yonkers is the only qualifying city in Westchester) Communities such as ours would have no say save promulgating zoning regulations that meet a nebulous standard of, “regulations that do not make the operation of dispensaries unreasonably impracticable.” • Last week, the New York State Association of Chiefs of Police and the Westchester County Chiefs of Police announced their opposition to the legalization of recreational cannabis. • They cited data from Colorado where drugged driving rates have more than doubled, insurance rates have increased and local governments are forced to retrain entire police departments, police dogs and increase security near these establishments. At present, the projected revenue of $83 million in Fiscal Year 2021 will not be shared with any local governments. • Representatives from Massachusetts recounted their recent experience with legalization. Statewide the legislation passed 53 percent to 47 percent in a public referendum so the issue remains very divisive. Local communities can ban implementation but need a twothirds voting majority. From the date of enactment of legislation to retail operation takes 18 months to two years. I will be watching the path of this legislation very carefully as the legislative year progresses.

Latimer asks PSC to delay Con Ed moratorium After testifying in person at a meeting of the New York State Public Service Commission regarding Con Edison’s sudden proposed natural gas moratorium, Westchester County Executive George Latimer has officially filed a request for the commission to hold off on Con Edison’s proposed natural gas moratorium. In the request, the county states that “Con Edison has failed to make a case that customer demands cannot be managed through innovative practices without a moratorium on accepting new customers. The county contends that

‘smart solutions,’ including energy efficiency and beneficial electrification can manage customer demand while allowing new customers to take gas services.” The county further notes that, “the commission must not allow a moratorium on accepting new customers to take effect until it has reviewed the staff report and taken appropriate action.” Later in the request, the county contends that the order is made necessary by negative impacts of the moratorium—noting that an estimate of the economic harm to be caused by Con Edison’s

moratorium was presented at the public statement hearing in Westchester by County Executive George Latimer. Latimer said the moratorium will impact affordable housing along with; • New residential units at risk – 16,000 • New commercial space at risk – 2 million sq. ft. • Lost construction jobs – 25,000 • Lost permanent retail jobs – 5,000-7,000 • Lost number of residents in Westchester County – 48,000 Lost rental income - $60 million/year (Submitted)

A dream of spring LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

It may be snowing at press time here in New York, but I’m happy to announce that spring is finally in the air. On Feb. 22, Spring Training games finally kicked off for our Major League franchises, and, take it from me; it couldn’t have come at a better time. Do the games mean anything right now? Not a chance; but on Friday afternoon, I got to sit in my office, log in to my MLB.tv account and watch my World Champion Red Sox take on a hungry group of up-and-coming collegians from Northeastern University. And it was glorious. Sure, most of the guys on the Red Sox current Major League roster didn’t get an at-bat; the first game of the spring is always a time for minor leaguers to showcase their wares in front of the big league manager. But it didn’t matter; baseball was offi-

cially back. The sights, sounds and rhythms of the sport were on full display, which is a soothing balm for someone suffering through a—albeit temperate—northeast winter. Obviously MLB.tv can’t transmit other senses through the internet, but I could almost imagine the scent of the fresh-cut grass and ballpark franks—a staple of those lazy late-February days down in Fort Myers. Baseball writers have rightly opined that the beginning of baseball season signals re-birth, and as someone who’s lived through a barren stretch of sports up north, I’m certainly ready for a new slate. Since the Sox captured another World Series championship in October, it’s been a rough few months. The Giants and Jets seasons couldn’t be described as anything other than abject disappointments, the rebuilding Rangers parted ways with my favorite player—Mats Zuccarello—at the trading deadline last weekend, and the Knicks, who are ostensibly tanking for a top draft pick,

SPORTS

can’t seem to get out of their own way, winning two games in the last week alone! So it’s no surprise that I—and fans that root for our more traditional New York baseball teams— have been waiting for opening day with baited breath. The Yankees look like world beaters this year, with a dominant bullpen, revamped starting rotation and a few new additions that might make them the deepest team in the Major Leagues. The Mets—outside of the sort of front-office drama we’ve come accustomed to no matter who is leading the organization—appear to be much improved as well; and could have a burgeoning slugger on their hands in Pete Alonso. For local baseball fans, the season can’t start soon enough. Sure, living in the tri-state area, we’re probably in for at least one more big snowstorm and another month of cold weather. But baseball is back. And that’s enough to make me feel warm inside.

Tuckahoe 59 Hamilton 45 At Pace University

2/23/19

Tuckahoe unseated the defending Class C section champ on Saturday, overcoming a slow start to top the Raiders at Pace University. Hamilton ended the first quarter on a 19-1 run to lead the Tigers by nine points heading into the second stanza. But after the Raiders’ run, No. 1 Tuckahoe got back on track, outscoring the No. 3 seed 40-13 over the next two quarters to take a commanding lead. Mekhi Clark won tournament MVP honors leading all scorers in the finals with 22 points, draining 6 3-pointers to pace the Tuckahoe attack. Senior Malik Moore also had a big game for the Tigers, netting 11 points and grabbing 10 rebounds to help the top seed maintain a 44-34 advantage on Sean Donnellan looks for an open teammate during Eastchester’s Class the boards. A outbracket game on Feb. 18.

2/24/19

New Rochelle’s Jake Logan capped off an impressive high

school career on Sunday, capturing the state title at 182 pounds with a stellar showing at the Times Union Center in Albany. In the finals, Logan earned a decisive 19-3 technical fall over Massapequa’s Angelo Petrakis. Over the course of four matches in the two-day event, Logan outscored opponents 65-15 en route to his second straight state crown. Logan was one of four Section I athletes to win titles, as Horace Greeley’s Aaron Wolk (170 pounds), and Iona Prep’s A.J. Kovacs (142 pounds) also won gold in the Division I bracket. Edgemont’s Nick Meglino won the 182-pound title in Division II in controversial fashion, as his finals match against reigning champ Ross McFarland ended in a disqualification. McFarland was leading Meglino 2-0 when he bit the Panthers’ standout on the hand, prompting officials to call an end to the contest. Harrison 220-pounder Zach Finn took fifth place in his division, winning the fifth-place match over Kyle Tillich with a 5-2 decision. -Reporting by Mike Smith
