County board approves White Plains senior housing project By JAMES PERO Staff Writer After a vote by the county Board of Legislators, Westchester will add dozens of new affordable housing units aimed at accommodating seniors. The project—Mount Hope Plaza in the city of White Plains— will kick-start the addition of 56 units of affordable senior housing for residents 62 years old or older that make between 50 to 60 percent of the median income. On Monday, June 7, the Board of Legislators unanimously approved the acquisition of a property located on 65 Lake St. in White Plains for $2.1 million under the mandate that it will be used for senior affordable housing for the next 50 years. The building will be six stories and consist of 48 one-bedroom
and eight two-bedroom apartments as well as 41 parking spaces; the project will cost upwards of $25 million—some of which will be subsidized by grants from New York State that include $2.8 million from the New York State Supportive Housing Opportunity Program. “This is a dream project,” said Board of Legislators Chairman Ben Boykin, a White Plains Democrat. “… These are the kinds of projects we need more of in Westchester County and I’m thrilled to see it moving forward.” The project will mark the culmination of efforts by the city of White Plains, county government, and The African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, who currently owns the property. According to the last census conducted in 2010, a little more than 16 percent of Westchester
County’s population is 65 years of age or older—a rate that is expected to climb in the years to come. In a survey conducted by the New York State Office for the Aging in 2011, Westchester County’s proportion of residents who are 60 or over is projected to grow from nearly 190,000 in 2010 to more than 260,000 in 2040. Westchester County mirrors a trend of increasing average age seen nationally over the past 16 years. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau in 2017, between the years 2000 to 2016 the median age in the U.S. rose from 35 to nearly 38 as the average life expectancy teeters around 78—a level fueled in part by increasingly effective medical treatments and knowhow. With the median age expected
to continue to rise over the next several decades, governments and experts have drawn concern over the sustainability of social safety programs like Social Security and retirement and pension funds, and according to lawmakers, affordable housing options could help mitigate cuts to those pillars. “I am delighted that we are finally moving forward with this project,” said county Legislator Alfreda Williams, a Greenburgh Democrat. “It is sorely needed in Westchester County and especially in the White Plains area, particularly given Westchester’s graying population.’ The project’s approval has been several years in the works and will be spearheaded by Mount Hope Community Development Corporation.

Westchester lawmakers have requested permission from the state to install red-light cameras throughout the county. In a special meeting on June 11, the county Board of Legislators voted unanimously to ask New York state government to allow the county to install up to 100 cameras at intersections and create a new traffic and parking enforcement agency. At the moment, county lawmakers have not revealed prospective locations for the redlight cameras. “The measure was passed in order to get it into the hands of state legislators quickly, because the state legislative session is ending,” said White Plains Democrat Ben Boykin, chairman of the Board of Legislators. “This does not mean that the county is on the verge of installing red light cameras.” If eventually approved by the state, the county government would be required to draft and approve a local law authorizing the red-light cameras, which could take longer depending on public discussion about the law. During the June 11 special meeting, legislators approved what’s known as a home rule, enabling legislation that grants the county permission to request authorization from the state government. County lawmakers called for the special meeting on June 8 in order to get permission from the state before the end of its legislative session. The state’s session ends on June 20, after press time. State Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins, a Yonkers Democrat, and state Assemblyman Gary Pretlow, a Mount Vernon Democrat, have sponsored the bill on
the state level. If the county’s request makes its way through the state Legislature and is ultimately approved by the end of the legislative session, it would need the approval of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat. The state bill suggests that redlight cameras could prevent drag racing and accidents. Typically, the cameras take pictures of drivers running through red lights or those stuck in the middle of an intersection. Afterwards, tickets are mailed out to violators. Under state law, local governments must first get permission from the state Legislature to install the cameras. As of press time, the cities of Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains and Yonkers already have red-light cameras installed in their respective municipalities. Overall, those opposed to the cameras have criticized them for being used primarily as a way to generate extra revenue in cashstrapped municipalities. According to Jason Chervokas, the communications director for the county Democratic caucus, the county would need to carefully consider any fiscal implications and costs of installing red-light cameras before approving them for Westchester. Earlier this year, the county projected a $28.7 million deficit in its $1.8 billion budget. Besides collecting property taxes, the county has limited options for generating revenue; hence, county lawmakers are aiming to use the cameras to help cover that shortfall. As of press time, there aren’t any projections for how much revenue red-light cameras could generate for the county government. CONTACT: franco@hometwn.com

Former Syracuse pol joins race for governor By FRANCO FINO Staff Writer Former Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner, an ex-ally of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s administration, is now looking to unseat him.A now outspoken critic of Cuomo, Miner announced her gubernatorial candidacy as an independent on June 18. “The price of politics as usual and the cost of corruption is weighing us all down,” Miner said on Twitter. “That’s why I’m running for governor—not as a Democrat, not as a Republican, but as a citizen of New York. Join me and let’s build a better [New York] together.” Although Miner, a Democrat, has hinted at running for governor since she vacated her mayoral seat in 2017, the candidate did not seek the party’s nomination at its convention in May. She served as the Syracuse mayor from 2010 through 2017. Miner said she is running on the line of the Serve America Movement, and will solicit petition signatures to get on the ballot for November’s general election. According to the group’s website, its goal is to ultimately build a new political party, as it believes the American political system is broken.

The one-time political ally of Cuomo has been at odds with the governor for the last five years, after publicly criticizing his budget which left municipalities across the state broke. Miner was once Cuomo’s hand-picked co-chairwoman of the state Democratic Committee after he became the governor in 2011. More recently, Miner has slammed Cuomo’s administration for ties to corruption. Joe Percoco, a former top aide to the governor, was convicted of corruption charges earlier this year. And on June 18, Alain
Kaloyeros, the former head of the SUNY Polytechnic Institute, stood trial for sending $1 billion in upstate development deals to several Cuomo campaign donors. With Miner announcing her bid for governor, the contest balloons to a four-way race. Marc Molinaro, the Republican nominee and former Dutchess County executive, welcomed Miner to the race, saying, “As yet another criminal corruption trial involving the Cuomo administration kicks off in federal court, it comes as little surprise that this is now a four-way contest.” He added, “The Cuomo corruption holding New York back from reaching its true potential must end.” Other third-party candidates include Libertarian candidate Larry Sharpe, who previously ran for U.S. vice president under the Libertarian Party nomination in 2016, and Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins, who is also a member of the Socialist organization Solidarity. As of press time, Cuomo is also facing a challenge from within his own party as actress Cynthia Nixon, a Manhattan resident, plans to primary the governor for the Democratic nomination. That primary is scheduled for Sept. 13. CONTACT: franco@hometwn.com

Arc Westchester raises over $260K at golf outing
The Arc Westchester, the county’s largest agency supporting individuals with intellectual
and developmental disabilities, including those on the autism spectrum, and their families, re-
cently hosted its 18th annual Golfing for Kids outing at Hampshire Country Club in Mama-
roneck. The event raised more than $260,000 for children with autism, Down syndrome and other developmental disabilities supported by The Children’s School for Early Development. More than 110 golfers participated in the outing this year. Following a day on the course, attendees enjoyed an awards banquet, silent and live auctions and an inspiring event program. Mary

Calvi, CBS2 News anchor and 2016 Caring for Kids awardee, welcomed guests to the reception. The evening honored two truly deserving individuals, with a special tribute to Carol Muller, a beloved teacher who passed away earlier this year. Jackie Logozio, a full-time substitute teacher at The Children’s School, was honored with the Building Futures Award, and Richard P. Swierat, who retired as The Arc Westchester’s executive director this month, was recognized with the first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award. “This year’s Golfing for Kids was one of our most successful in history, and we are grateful for the continued generosity of our guests year after year in helping us reach and, to date, surpass our fundraising goals,” said Nancy Patota, executive director of The Arc Westchester Foundation. “Early intervention is key to developing a child’s full potential, but state funding to support such services continues to fall short. The funds raised at this event will help The Children’s School to continue to provide our youngest program participants the best opportunities for a successful future.” To learn more about The Children’s School for Early Development, visit arcwestchester.org.

Local artist features
work in new art gallery For Jill Krutick opening a working studio in the village’s downtown area is another stride toward blossoming as a professional artist. According to Krutick, a Mamaroneck resident, when the newly-built 2,000 square foot gallery style space became available, it was the perfect opportunity to begin showcasing her work locally. Located in the heart of the village, the art gallery is situated at 425 Mt. Pleasant Ave., overlooking Mamaroneck Avenue and directly across the street from the Metro-North train station. “When I saw that the space was available, I thought it was just a blessing and great timing,” Krutick said. “The space really lends itself to creating wonderful light.” Originally hailing from Long Island, Krutick became a professional artist later in life, first working in finance covering stocks related to entertainment and leisure. After a long career there, Krutick said it might seem like an unusual jump into an art industry completely unrelated to her previous life, but there was always a creative side to everything she accomplished, making it a natural transition. “I was certainly an artist at a very young age,” she told the Review. “It was a passion that I’ve always had and something that I always came back to during my maternity leaves later in my career.” Though it was initially an unplanned career move, Krutick said it was clear she was heading down the path of becoming an artist, considering how much she enjoyed painting. “I realized that I was having so much fun, that I wanted to dedicate myself full time to art,” she added. According to Krutick, her paintings communicate the emotion and the journey of life by captivating an array of different colors and textures. Stylistically, Krutick considers herself a contemporary abstract expressionist, with most of her paintings being created on canvas in both oils and acrylics. For most artists, especially those that are self-employed, earnings vary widely. Accord-
Her paintings communicate the emotion and journey of life by captivating an array of different colors and textures, according to Krutick.
Mamaroneck resident Jill Krutick originally worked in the finance industry, but dedicated her life to art 10 years ago.
ing to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, many artists hold another job because of the difficulty in earning income from selling paintings and other works of fine art. However, for Krutick, already having more than 100 collectors worldwide, including museums and corporations, her early success proves she is capable of establishing a notable presence in
the art industry. “Artists like Jill Krutick have taken up a courageous practice; to explore the depths of visual expression as the means of communicating her sensation,” said Ira Goldberg, a former executive director of The Art Students League, an 142-year old art school in New York. “We laud her pursuit [and] we champion her crusade.”
While Krutick will be focusing on building up the gallery, known as Jill Krutick Fine Art, she will also soon be showcasing her work in front of even wider audiences. In March 2019, Krutick will host her first large-scale museum exhibition at the Coral Springs Museum of Art in Florida. Her showcase will be hosted in the museum’s 5,000 square-foot gallery. Krutick is also preparing for a joint show with another popular artist, J. Steven Manolis, at the National Arts Club in New York City; that exhibit will open this upcoming October. “Ultimately, the goal is to get exposure for your work and try to attract people to follow you, your career and share your art with the community,” she said.

Krutick is expecting to showcase her work in New York City this October.

PBS screening to highlight Boston Post Road On Sunday, July 29 at 4 p.m., join the Jay Heritage Center for a whirlwind documentary tour of 10 streets that influenced the way we travel around the United States. Come for a private screening of PBS’ newest feature, “10 Streets that Changed America.” The screening will be followed by lively conversation with author and journalist Eric Jaffe. A cocktail reception will follow at the Jay Mansion which looks out on America’s oldest highway, the Boston Post Road.This fascinating film traces many familiar routes from Manhattan to Rye including the 400-year evolution of Broadway: from Native American road, to Dutch trading route, to the home of America’s earliest public transit, to an electrically lighted theater district known as the “Great White Way.” Westchester residents will take special interest in the ride from Boston (where more than a dozen historic mile markers have recently been restored) to New York on a dirt “highway,” which

was created for the nation’s first mail carriers—a section of this road was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service in 1993 with the home of Founding Father John Jay as its keystone. Jaffe will introduce the program and answer questions afterwards. He is the author of “The King’s Best Highway” (2010), a social history of America’s first postal route, and “A Curious Madness” (2014), a family memoir about a World War II war crimes mystery. He is a former journalist who most recently served as New York bureau chief for CityLab, the Atlantic’s urban life channel. He is currently editorial director of Sidewalk Labs, an Alphabet company that uses technology to improve urban life. $10 for Jay Heritage Center members and members of the Harvard Club of Westchester; $15 for general admission. All proceeds benefit continued preservation of the 23-acre Jay Estate. (Submitted)

Westchester County Executive George Latimer and the Department of Environmental Facilities are proud to announce the winners of the first-ever county Eco Awards. The awards recognize outstanding contributions to the county’s local environment and sustainability made by residents, students and schools, municipalities, businesses and other organizations. “The Eco Awards provide an opportunity to recognize those individuals and institutions who contribute to making Westchester a great place to live, work and visit by improving and caring for our local environment,” Latimer said. The winners will be officially recognized on June 27 at 3 p.m. at an awards ceremony at Kensico Dam Plaza. The county executive will be on hand to present the awards and meet with the winners. In addition to several schools, students, local businesses, non-profits and other organizations, three municipalities will also receive awards for posting the highest curb side recycling rates in 2017: the town of Bedford, town of Lewisboro and city of Rye. The efforts of these municipalities and others help make Westchester one of the best recycling counties in New York State. Westchester boasted a 50 percent recycling rate in 2017, far outpacing the national recycling rate of only 34.6 percent.

Save the Sound begins annual water quality testing
Connectonwith us
@linkedin.com/company/hometown-media
Save the Sound began its fifth annual summer water quality monitoring season on June 18 with 20 trained volunteers testing water at 63 sites for bacteria that indicate the presence of sewage. Volunteer citizen scientists from across the region will collect water quality samples in Port Chester, Rye, village of Mamaroneck, Larchmont, town of Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, Pelham, Mount Vernon, Harrison, and White Plains, as well as in Greenwich, Connecticut, and Little Neck Bay in Queens. «Bacterial pollution from sewage is a serious problem in many of our rivers, streams and harbors—it is a public health hazard and degrades our natural environment,” said Tracy Brown, director of Save the Sound. “This program is an effective tool for tracking down and stopping sewage leaks. We have seen improvements in water quality in communities that are willing to look at the data and follow up with repairs. We hope to continue this success this season and for years to come, until every western sound community can count on clean water.” Staff processes the samples at Save the Sound’s lab in the village of Mamaroneck, made possible by an Environmental Protection Agency equipment loan program. “We follow an EPA-reviewed protocol to ensure we’re bringing accurate information to the public and to the decision-makers who have the power to clean up our harbors and the sound,” said Peter Linderoth, water quality program manager for Save the Sound. “This program is

a successful model for how residents, non-profits, and government can collaborate to clean up our waterways.” Data sets, maps and analysis of 2014–2017 water quality results can be viewed on Save the Sound’s website, savethesound. org. Volunteers interested in becoming citizen scientists can follow these instructions to sign up. Save the Sound is a bi-state program of Connecticut Fund for the Environment with an estab-
lished 45-year track record of restoring and protecting the waters and shorelines of the sound. From its offices in New Haven and Mamaroneck, Save the Sound works for a cleaner, healthier and more vibrant Long Island Sound where humans and marine life can prosper year-round. Our success is based on scientific knowledge, legal expertise, and thousands of ordinary people teaming up achieve results that benefit our environment for current and future generations. (Submitted)

My Cup runneth over LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
I have to say, it’s sort of sad how much of a sucker I am sometimes for sports. Last week, the 2018 World Cup kicked off, and without the U.S.—or my second, adopted team, Italy—in the mix, I vowed to sit this one out. It seemed like an easy enough decision for me; I don’t really watch much soccer, save the World Cup, and without that sense of nationalistic pride that one normally gets when soccer’s biggest tournament rolls around, watching a bunch of guys I’ve barely heard of kick a ball around a soccer field for a month seemed like a real waste of time. But then I watched Spain vs. Portugal and just like that, I was full steam ahead on the World Cup. Last Friday, the two European powers squared off in an classic 3-3 draw that showcased the absolute best of what the World Cup has to offer; two neighbor-
ly rivals trading shots in a fastpaced affair with Ronaldo, who is by many accounts the best player on the planet, scoring his third and final goal of the game in the 88th minute to knot things up? That’s so good it had to be scripted! And as a result, wouldn’t you know it, I started to care about the World Cup again. In the next few days, I watched Iceland draw with Argentina, and I watched El Tri top the vaunted Germans. It didn’t matter that my team wasn’t involved, I was just sucked in by the pageantry and competitiveness of the whole thing. And as much as my continuing appreciation of the World Cup is owed to the high-level soccer being played, it’s also a testament to the accessibility of sports in general. I’m the kind of guy who will easily spend an afternoon watching a sporting event that I really don’t care about. I’ve killed days watching curling, rugby and professional darts just because there’s something about competition—no matter
how mundane—that I find thrilling. And unlike American football, with its confusing rules and various intricacies or baseball, with its interminable downtime, soccer is a sport that’s pretty easy to pick up and follow—albeit on a basic level. It’s accessible for neophyte fans, such as myself, and seemingly simple enough so that even viewers with a loose understanding of strategy can piece together what is happening in the general flow of the game. The beauty of the sport is in its relative simplicity, and that’s a major reason it’s such a huge hit worldwide. So yeah, it took me all of one day to completely abandon my plan to pass on the World Cup. No U.S.? No Italy? No problem. But as much fun as I’m having watching the games so far, I still wish there was an American team to root for. The Women’s Cup in 2019 still seems way too far away.
