New Rochelle to host affordable housing open house

The city of New Rochelle is excited to host an Affordable Housing Open House to present new local housing opportunities on Thursday, March 7 in the Rotunda in City Hall, located at 515 North Ave., from 4 to 8 p.m. Open to both existing and prospective residents, the Open House will showcase upcoming housing lotteries for newly-developed affordable rental housing in New Rochelle, the city’s First Time Home Buyer Down Payment Assistance Program, and the latest sustainability initiatives available to homeowners. Important new information about New Rochelle’s Section 8 housing assistance program in 2024 will also be available at the event.

“The City of New Rochelle’s Affordable Housing Open House highlights our dedication to providing the community with tangible channels to affordable housing and expanded access to home-

ownership,” said City Manager Kathleen Gill. “Together, with the support of our community members, nonprofit partners, and local developers, we will continue to prioritize affordable housing as a fundamental cornerstone of our city’s future.”

At the Affordable Housing Open House, current and potential residents can learn about more than 500 new affordable housing units coming to Downtown New Rochelle in 2024 including:

• Highgarden Tower (Lottery open now): a mixed-use rental building located at 11 Garden St., New Rochelle providing affordable housing options for residents whose earnings fall at 60% to 80% of AMI. Applications for this lottery are available from Feb. 9 through April 10, at 4 p.m. at www.affordablewestchester.org, by mail or in-person.

• West View Apartments (Coming soon): located at 25 Garden St., New Rochelle, will create 185 affordable housing units and is committed to providing affordable housing to residents with earnings at 50% to 60% of AMI.

• 500 Main St., (also opening in 2024) brings 111 affordable units at 50% and 60% of AMI to the core of Downtown New Rochelle.

“New Rochelle remains steadfast in our goal of offering affordable, quality housing options for every resident, and we look forward to welcoming over 400 units of affordable housing to our downtown neighborhood,” said Adam Salgado, deputy city manager and development commissioner. “We aim to ensure accessibility to a diverse array of opportunities and resources, delivering innovative solutions that uphold our city as an inclusive and flourishing home.”

Westchester County Executive George Latimer, New York State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin and County Director of Consumer Protection Jim Maisano are working together to ensure that residents are well-informed about a new law aimed at promoting transparency in credit card transactions.

Effective Feb. 11, this new state law mandates that merchants in New York State must provide clear and conspicuous disclosure of credit card surcharges to consumers.

Latimer said “Transparent pricing is essential for consumers to make informed decisions.”

Paulin added: “This new law protects New Yorkers from hidden surcharges by requiring sellers to clearly post the price of a credit card surcharge. Credit card surcharges now have to be disclosed clearly so that customers are fully aware of them upfront and not just when they go to pay. The new law also prevents businesses from charging a

higher fee than what they are charged by the credit card companies.

The new law limits credit card surcharges to the amount charged to the business by the credit card company and requires businesses to clearly display the total price inclusive of any surcharges before checkout. It aims to prevent consumers from being surprised by hidden fees and ensures that they have a clear understanding of the costs associated with credit card transactions.

Maisano said: “This law reinforces the principles of fairness and transparency in commercial transactions. We are committed to ensuring that consumers are protected from deceptive practices, and this legislation is a significant step forward in achieving that goal.”

For more information on the implementation of this law and consumer rights, residents are encouraged to contact the Westchester County Department of Consumer Protection.

The Arc Westchester Foundation’s holds 18th annual fundraiser

The Arc Westchester Foundation, dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities and their families, will host their annual gala, “A Matter of Taste,” on April 10 at the beautiful Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle. This is the 18th year for this popular event, which brings together more than 20 area restaurants for a spectacular culinary evening for more than 350 attendees. 2024 also marks the 75th Anniversary of The Arc Westchester.

This year The Arc Westchester Foundation will honor three exceptional allies who have significantly contributed to The Arc Westchester’s mission. The Corporate Partner Award will be presented to NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester Behavioral Health. Through their partnership with The Arc Westchester and Project SEARCH, their program serves young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the OPWDD system, as

well as students who are in their last year of high school who could benefit from personalized support through an intensive year of career development and internship experience.

The Family Partner Award will be bestowed upon The Glucksman Lieber Family, celebrating their long-standing dedication and generosity towards The Arc Westchester’s initiatives. Mark Glucksman and his wife Roberta Lieber have three children: Samuel, Charles, and Benjamin. Their son Samuel, a 31-year-old with Down syndrome, has participated in The Arc Westchester’s Choices and Recreation program for over a decade and lives in an Arc Westchester residence.

The Lifetime Advocate Award will be presented to Ann Nehrbauer, who is 95 years old, and was instrumental in the landmark lawsuit that ultimately led to the shuttering of Willowbrook State School, a facility in which people with developmental disabilities

were subjected to poor treatment and inhumane living conditions for decades. Because of his increasing medical needs and their inability to care for him at home, and the fact that there were no other options and the doctors insisted, Ann’s disabled son spent 16 years as a resident at Willowbrook. Upon seeing the horrid situation there, she and her husband began a lifelong advocacy effort that ultimately helped bring about a historic civil rights lawsuit to close down Willowbrook and bring about positive change.

After leaving Willowbrook, Ann’s son moved into an Arc Westchester residence and lived there for 44 years until his passing last December.

Actor Kevin Kilner will return as Emcee for the second year. Kilner is a veteran actor performing on Broadway and off-Broadway in numerous productions as well as in hundreds of television shows and movies during his 40year career.

Developments at the new Iona campus in Bronxville

By Mayor Mary Marvin

Last week Trustee Behrens and I met with Iona University President Seamus Carey to be updated on the programs, current projects and aspirations at the Iona Bronxville campus.

We were so energized and inspired by the activities undertaken at Iona – our new anchor and partner for the Village.

Our relationship continues to be seamless and symbiotic as we embrace our hometown University.

Sharing what we as Trustees have learned about Iona with you, its neighbors, seemed particularly instructive.

We hope you will be as inspired and reassured as village government as we embark on a new chapter with Iona University.

As background, Iona acquired the 28-acre Bronxville campus in May 2021 from Concordia College due to quite simply the need for more space to carry out the Iona mission as the New Rochelle campus is essentially land locked with no room for growth.

Bronxville’s acreage provided the perfect opportunity, but as we all know, the infrastructure was in great need of repair so the projects are ongoing.

As a result of great collaboration, shortly after acquiring the Bronxville campus, Iona secured a partnership with the New York-Presbyterian Hospital and in 2021 established the New York-Presbyterian-Iona School of Health Sciences, providing a model for the future of healthcare education.

Not only is the school developing innovative new programs that are in high demand in the medical field, students also gain hands-on experience alongside some of the nation’s top doctors and nurses during clinicals.

Offering degrees at both the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, the standards are rigorous, the curriculum challenging and state of the art. Most importantly, the school takes a holistic approach focusing on high quality, compassionate care.

Thanks to the generosity of alumni Al and Peggy Kelly, the flagship building – the Kelly Center for Health Sciences – was opened in January 2023. The attractive

new building houses the latest training equipment, modern classrooms and simulations labs.

Recognizing the need for facility upgrades, numerous spaces were renovated during the summer of 2023 transforming both indoor and outdoor spaces transforming Iona Bronxville into much more than the School of Health Sciences. It is also home to an expanding arts program as well as growing club sports and even Division I athletic teams.

The campus now houses a modernized dance studio, a brand new weight room, two renovated gymnasiums, a health conscious new cafe, renovated field, new welcome center and Dean’s suites.

Because of the bonus of extra space, non-classroom programs have been added including Division I women’s acrobatic and tumbling teams.

The baseball team has a new Bronxville field and the venerable Sommer Center is home to spaces to grow ensembles, dance teams, host performances and offer performing arts practice spaces.

If you take a walk by, you can see that the campus has truly come to life again.

Questions posed by Bronxville residents and answered by Iona President Carey

• How would Iona like to further engage with the residents of Bronxville to enhance both institutions?

We’ve had a great relationship with Bronxville so far and as we develop more programs there, many will be accessible to the Bronxville community including a Speakers’ Series. As more organizations continue to use Iona spaces, we look forward to building out those relationships even more. Local groups that currently utilize various fields or spaces on campus include Bronxville Youth Lacrosse, the Chapel School, Tuckahoe High School Athletics, Eastchester Youth Soccer, Crush Baseball, Siwanoy Country Club, and the Conservatory.

• Are there any plans on the docket for construction/expansion?

As I’ve stated since inception, there are no plans to expand the buildings with any renovations at this time. The major building renovations completed are to the Kelly

Center for Health Sciences and Feth Hall, which included making the entrance ADA accessible. We’ve also completed renovations to the cafe, which is open to the public, as well as some office spaces and two gyms – one that’s used for basketball and volleyball and the other that’s used for acrobatics and tumbling. We’ve also completed renovations on the all-purpose turf field.

• What about the baseball field?

We have exciting plans to fix the baseball field but the expense of the project is significant. The right field area currently has slope on it, and that would need to be eliminated before Iona’s Division I team would be able to play there. We are in a fundraising process to make sure we have the funds to do it properly. Once the field is renovated, that would present an opportunity to partner with the Bronxville community to provide baseball facilities for their teams. But we need to get the funds in place before we can do that project.

• What’s going to happen to the dormitories – are they being used? The dormitory buildings are not being used as student residences and there are no plans to use them as student residences in the near future. They are only currently being used as they were with Concordia – as office spaces on the ground floor.

• How about the houses on Concordia Place?

Two houses are occupied with tenants and a couple more were configured by Concordia as office spaces. Others would need to be renovated before they could be used.

• What is the relationship of the Music Conservatory to Iona?

The Conservatory continues to be a tenant of the university and they continue to use the space as they traditionally have. They are in the first year of a five-year lease.

• Can recreational space be used by local groups when Iona is not in session? We are open to talking to organizations about using our spaces when we are not using them.

• Is Sommer Center open for rental?

Yes, so long as if fits the school’s schedule.

For space rentals, please contact Kimberly Winston at kwinston@iona.edu or (914) 637-7790.

Making the most of the moment

There’s just no beating high school basketball at the Westchester County Center, is there?

I’ve been around the block. I’ve covered my fair share of Section 1 title games across every conceivable sport. But nothing quite compares to championship week in White Plains.

Over the last several days, the top high school basketball teams in the area have been duking it out on the most famous court in Westchester, vying for that rare opportunity to hoist the Gold Ball at center court while the ‘One Shining Moment’ blares over the loudspeakers.

And honestly, there’s nothing like it.

Sure, the games have been a mixed bag thus far; for every thriller like the Tuesday night’s showdown between Peekskill and Eastchester, there’s been a one-sided affair that’s been all but determined by the time halftime rolls around. But that’s to be expected in high school athletics and it certainly doesn’t take away from the magic that happens when an arena full of people are absolutely invested in the outcome of a sporting event.

In that Tuesday afternoon game between the Red Devils and the Eagles, a fourth-quarter Eastchester comeback had the place in hysterics. By the time Jake Warnock tied things up with a put-back at the buzzer? The County Center was straight up rocking.

And that’s what makes the place such a special place to see

a game during Championship Week; the feeling is indescribable and always hits you, no matter how many games you’ve seen there as a fan, a coach or a player.

And if this week was nuts, just wait for this weekend, beginning on Friday when the championships are on the line. Kids filling the second-level, belting out fight songs and trying to outchant rival student sections. Players diving into the second row for loose balls. The triumph and heartbreak on display for all to see; it’s going to be something else.

But the great thing about Championship Week is it doesn’t matter if you win. Sure, that Gold Ball moment is an indelible memory that will stick with the winners for the rest of their lives. But just taking the court means something too.

There aren’t many basketball players who have gotten the chance to play on the big stage at Westchester’s Most Famous Arena.

But those who have, know just how special it is.

Tigers advance to Class C finals

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

Tuckahoe

Haldane

• Chloe Angello had 16 points and 8 rebounds

• The Tigers have won 5 straight

• They will play Hamilton for the title on 3/3

Tuckahoe may be young, but if the Tigers proved anything on Sunday, it’s youth meant nothing on the biggest basketball stage in Section 1.

Taking on No. 4-seeded Haldane in the Class C semifinals last weekend, the Tigers turned in perhaps their

best performance of the year, out-hustling—and out-playing—the Blue Devils to the tune of a 58-34 win that will keep the Tigers’ hopes of a third-straight gold ball alive.

Tuckahoe’s swarming defense quickly emerged as the difference-maker on the day, as the Tigers jumped out to an early double-digit lead over Haldane, forcing turnovers that lead to quick-chance points on the other end.

Eighth-grader Chloe Angello led with 16 points and eight rebounds while Juliana Manginelli and Brooke Matarazzo combined for nine steals to lead the defensive effort. According to Angello, high-pressure defense was a focal-point of the pregame prep, and the Tigers were able to execute the game plan flawlessly.

“We knew we had to come out hot and we did a lot of

running this week to prepare for the game,” said Angello. “Our goal was to outrun everyone on the court.”

With so many youngsters on the roster—and the majority of those players in key roles for the Tigers—Tuckahoe head coach Silvio DiSalvatore admitted that while he wasn’t sure how his players would respond to the biggest challenge of the year, but that the girls were able to rise to the situation with aplomb.

“To be honest, I think I was more nervous than they were; before the game,” said DiSalvatore. “The girls were putting smiley faces on the boards and I knew they were ready for this game.”

With the win, Tuckahoe will move on to take on Alexander Hamilton in the Class C Championship Game on Sunday, Feb. 3. Hamilton and the Tigers have met twice

this season, with Tuckahoe winning both games. Hamilton edged North Salem in the semifinals to reach the championship round.

“We know exactly what

they’re going to try to do and they know what we’re going to do; both games were close, so we have to get ready,” said DiSalvatore. “Hamilton does such a good

job, so we have to go back to the drawing board and get ready for this one.”

Eagles take Peekskill to OT in Class AA semis

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

get out to a quick start.

Leading by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter, victory seemed all but assured for the Red Devils until the Eagles’ resolve drew the score closer and closer as the clock ticked.

A dream season for the Eastchester basketball team may have come to an end on Tuesday night, but all the pluck and determination the Eagles had become known for this winter was on full display on the biggest stage in Section 1 basketball.

This week, the No. 6 seed Eagles found themselves in the Westchester County Center, squaring off against No. 2 Peekskill in the Class AA semifinals, facing an opponent whose size and explosiveness helped them

The Eagles knotted the score at 48 with just over a minute left to play and ultimately needed even more late-game heroics, as a putback by Jake Warnock sent the game to overtime as time expired.

Although the Eagles would eventually fall 62-56 in the overtime period, Warnock said that the team’s second-half rally was simply a matter of mindset.

“Everyone can tell we’re undersized, but it’s not about the size of the player, it’s about the heart,” said the senior. “We just want to go out there, have a good time, and win.”

Warnock led Eastchester with 16 points on the day while teammate Andrew Schultz chipped in 10 of his

own. Peekskill was led by 21 from Travis Brown and 17 from Jaden Chavis. The Red Devils will take on Suffern in the Class AA finals on Saturday night after the Mounties edged Yorktown 51-46 in Tuesday’s nightcap.

And although Eastchester’s season came to an end this week, Warnock said he and his teammates will be able to look back on the year as a success; not only did the team secure head coach Fred DiCarlo’s 300th win, they also ran through the Class AA playoffs from the No. 6 seed, making the Westchester County Center for the first time since 2014.

“Honestly, it’s like a dream come true, ever since we were younger, we wanted to play here,” said Warnock. “It’s very intense, but once the game starts going, you lose all that tension and you start playing basketball.”
