Film industry nets $622.4M 2023 economic impact

A new report has shown that despite the industry-wide challenges in 2022 and 2023, film production in Westchester still yielded $2 billion in economic activity, 6,796 jobs and $656 million in wages during those two years.

Westchester County George Latimer said: “Westchester is a top-tier destination for film production thanks to our diverse locations, film-friendly communities and a skilled and supportive network of people and businesses. This report underscores the film industry’s vital role in driving our local economy, creating jobs and boosting tourism.”

approach, spanning the entire County, has proven inviting to filmmakers and visitors alike. What’s more, screen tourism, spurred by the recognition of our locations in today’s hottest shows, bolsters our economy and affirms that we are creating a welcoming, film-friendly environment.”

The film industry also creates a vibrant community in Westchester. A prime example is the Yonkers Film & Television Production Academy, a new career and technical school opening in September 2024. This collaboration between Yonkers Public Schools and Great Point Studios aims to prepare the next generation of artisans for employment in a variety of arts-based industries.

Eastchester REVIEW THE Westchester Tourism launches new Craft Beverage Trail at Broken Bow Brewery

Westchester County Executive George Latimer joined Westchester County’s Department of Film and Tourism and craft beverage artisans from around the County to toast the debut of the new Westchester Craft Beverage Trail and free online passport.

The new Westchester Craft Beverage Trail includes more than 24 distilleries, craft breweries and cideries throughout the region. A free, online passport for users aged 21 and older allows them to easily sip and savor their way across the County while earning rewards for fun items reflecting Westchester’s craft culture.

The Westchester County Tourism & Film department brought together over 130 film production professionals and representatives from Westchester’s film locations, municipalities, and local businesses that support the sector at the Hudson River Museum on April 16 to highlight Westchester’s resiliency and collaborative, film-friendly environment. Noting that despite the industry-wide impact of external factors such as the pandemic, two industry strikes (Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA unions) which combined lasted more than seven months and increased competition from other regions vying for film business, the film sector was still able to contribute $1.9 million in sales tax, $950,000 in lodging-related revenue and over $1 million in permit and property rental fees in 2023 alone. While also adding 425 tourism jobs in Westchester as a result of the film industry.

Westchester County Tourism & Film Director Natasha Caputo said: “Our efforts to attract new business have made an undeniable impact. Our collaborative

Meeting Industry Needs

Director of the “The Gilded Age (HBO), Michael Engler said: “It’s all about location, location, location. [Westchester has] these magnificent homes and estates which bear the unmistakable imprint of the Gilded Age. We also shoot up there because of the space— land, big parking lots, parks, and pathways. People were extremely friendly and gracious. We all love shooting in Westchester.”

School superintendents talk public schools

In today’s K-12 classrooms, kids are being asked to deal with the same tumultuous emotional, social and technological issues as adults, and helping them navigate these modern challenges so that they can academically thrive is central to an educator’s mission, according to local school officials.

In an hour-long conversation, Mamaroneck Superintendent Dr. Charles Sampson and Rye Neck Superintendent Dr. Eric Lutinsky discussed how their schools are evolving to support today’s learners at the April 16 meeting of the Larchmont/ Mamaroneck Local Summit.

“Schools are much more dynamic now, they’re much more student-focused,” said Lutinsky. “And I think one of the biggest positive shifts is taking the teacher out of the role of the sage on the stage that stands in the front and just dictates things, to more of a coach that facilitates learning.”

Rapid technological advances have upended the teacher-student relationship and challenged teachers to engage in new ways. “Google Classroom and platforms like artificial intelligence and ChatGPT and things of that nature…allow students to instantly access all of this information that traditionally the teacher possessed,” said Sampson, who started as Mamaroneck’s superintendent last November.

While the prospect of AI in the classroom raises concerns similar to the introduction of the calculator, Sampson and Lutinsky want students

to learn how to use the near-ubiquitous technology responsibly and ethically. They are also exploring AI’s potential to help teachers. For example, Mamaroneck has launched a pilot initiative to evaluate AI’s ability to give students early and immediate feedback on their writing, so drafts are more refined when they reach teachers’ desks.

Schools are also grappling with political polarization and the heated rhetoric amplified by social media, as well as incidents of bias. “Discussions in hallways mirror those happening around the country,” said Sampson. “We try to prevent offensive speech in the first place, and when it does occur, [we are] training staff to react in real time.” He said the district is working to build community by giving students from different elementary schools the opportunity to meet before coming together in middle school. Lutinsky added that his teachers try to turn difficult situations into opportunities to discuss historical protest movements, as well as instill the importance of civil discourse.

To create a supportive environment for learning, the districts are addressing these and other issues as part of a broader approach to student well-being. The superintendents reported higher incidences of student mental health issues such as anxiety and depression – reflecting a national trend that preceded but was exacerbated by the pandemic – which requires integrated care involving parents, teachers and community partners, at increased

levels. “It’s not just, you know, go down to the hall and make a right and then, the back room, and that’s where the psychologist is,” said Lutinksy.

Additionally, Dr. Sampson discussed his district’s ongoing efforts to ensure students feel accepted and supported. One initiative, the Student Belonging and School Climate Survey, asks students to rate their engagement with the school as well as their feelings about its overall environment.

Elementary school-age children participate in regular discussions on social and emotional learning and equity.

Questions over how to address the growing needs of students (and the increased physical space that is required) are addressed in the coming year’s budgets. Both districts’ proposed budgets are within their respective tax levy caps.

For Mamaroneck, which is projected to serve 5,524 students in 2024-2025–11 more than this year, with a significant increase the high school population–Sampson has proposed an annual budget of $159,204,563, a 2.37% year-over-year increase, supported by a 2.59% increase over the current tax levy. According to Sampson’s office, the increase is primarily due to the rising cost of salaries, employee benefits and supplies, including Chromebooks. The District will also make use of expiring debt to put forth a new bond proposal, which would fund $28 million in maintenance including roofing, masonry and waterproofing

repairs, and expand the cafeteria at Hommocks and kitchens at Central and Murray elementary schools.

For Rye Neck, which is projected to serve 1,461 students–20 fewer than this year––Lutinsky has proposed a budget of $51,127,223, a 2.97% increase year-over-year, supported by a tax levy increase at the local cap of 2.19%. The increase is needed to support the rising cost of staff benefits and maintain teacher-student ratios, according to his office. Also up for a vote, Proposition II proposes using the District’s capital reserve to support paving, fencing and masonry repairs at the district’s elementary schools, a new roof for the high school gymnasium, as well as an infrastructure study for potential improvements elsewhere.

These proposals will be put before voters May 21. More information on the proposed budgets and on voting information may be found on the district websites. Mamaroneck: https://www.mamkschools. org/district/budget. Rye Neck: https://www.ryeneck.org/Page/471.

Saint Pio Foundation to launch international initiative

The Saint Pio Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization that promotes the knowledge of and devotion to Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, known also as Padre Pio, one of the most venerated contemporary saints of the Catholic Church.

On the occasion of its 10th anniversary, which took place this past April 4, the Foundation announced the launch on April 29 of the first international initiative titled “Photographs of Saint Pio: Memories of a Saint”. This will also be announced from the Vatican, on April 29.

As announced on Vatican News, this and many other initiatives will all be available via the dedicated webpage www.therealsaintpio.org, the gift of releasing the right of ten photographs of the Saint, some of them unpublished. During a recent one-on-one interview with EWTN Vatican correspondent Colm Flynn, the founder and CEO of the Saint Pio Foundation Luciano Lamonarca, also an acclaimed tenor, explained that the idea was, through the release of these ten pictures, to give access to them free of charge via a dedicated webpage. Symbolically, ten authentic photos are to signify one photo -

graph for each year the foundation has been in service.

Preceding the press conference at the Vatican, the foundation will also announce the release of “The Song of Saint Pio”, also free of charge, in five languages, via the dedicated website, and which will be launched from the city of Foggia, Puglia, Italy, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of composer Rico Garofalo, who composed this song in 1968, exactly two months after the Saint’s passing.

In addition, starting from January 2024, the foundation announced the release of a collection of 365 letters written by the Saint, to his spiritual directors and students.

Finally, perhaps the most important initiative, is the production, together with EWTN, the World Largest Catholic Network, of the first American docudrama about the life of Saint Pio, titled: Saint Pio of Pietrelcina: Man of Hope and Healing, expected to be released worldwide in September 2024, in English and in Spanish.

Actor, director and Tony Award Winner Joe Mantegna is the narrator of the docudrama. Among those who have offered their testimony in the docudrama are Golden Globe award-win -

ning actor Gary Sinise, Actor and singer Robert Davi, Grammy Award singer Jose Feliciano, and many others whose lives have been touched and inspired by Saint Pio.

“The Saint Pio Foundation intends to get more involved with the international community, and to do all we possibly can to change lives, for the better, in the name of Saint Pio,” said Founder and CEO Luciano Lamonarca. “We are aware that the millions of the faithful around the globe are thirsting in learning more and more about the Saint, rather than simply visiting his shrine or his relics, which is indeed an important part of each individual journey. Our hope is that those seeking guidance will benefit from this source of inspiration that will lead us to a more holy life, by following the teachings of Saint Pio.

The same photo gallery announced by the Vatican, will be presented for the first time in the U.S., at the Saint Pio Foundation’s office, in Tuckahoe (within the Generoso Pope Foundation’s building,) during a celebratory event on the birth anniversary of Saint Pio, on Monday, May 20.

Poet Ahmed Badr visits Eastchester HS

Telling one’s story is an important part of the human existence, and Eastchester High School students got a reminder of that on April 4, when they welcomed Ahmed Badr into their classrooms.

Badr, whose 2020 book, ‘While the Earth Sleeps We Travel,’ features stories, poetry and artwork from young refugees around the world, has been speaking to youth groups about the importance of their personal narratives for nearly 10 years and spent the day in Eastchester talking to high schoolers about how best to empower themselves through self-expression.

Sharing his own memories of being a refugee after his home in Iraq was bombed by a militia group in 2006, Badr invited students to think about their own lives and how they can craft their own personal stories—either publicly or in private.

“First and foremost, it’s about being able to connect with other people in a way that invites them to open up and share their own experiences,” said Badr. “Being able to express your own agency is a skill in so many ways, but being able to recognize yourself as the central authority over your own narrative is important.”

Throughout the day, Badr stopped into EHS English classrooms to discuss the construction of personal narratives, offering examples from his book and encouraging students

SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK

to collaborate on their own writing exercises.

The day was made possible through the district’s arts and education funding and aligned with the goals of the EHS English department, noted EHS English teacher Dr. Ruth Kambar.

“We’ve been talking about how to bring more personal narrative into the classroom, and getting students to be able to communicate their own story and what is important to them is part of our job” said Kambar. “We don’t all become English majors, but we will all have to present some sort of argument or idea in our work and in order to do that, you have to be comfortable with who you are.”

Those ideas are increasingly valuable in a world that offers people so many outlets to express themselves, added Badr, and the more thought Eastchester’s youngsters put into reflecting on their own lives and values, the more of an impact they can have on the world around them.

“Dr. Kambar was an extraordinary host, I felt so welcomed here; the students were amazing and engaged, asking great questions in every single workshop,” he said. “I want them to come away with the idea that everyone has the ability to express themselves now, which presents a lot of great opportunities for young people.”

Springtime in New York

I’m going to preface this column with a simple disclaimer. It’s playoff time in New York and by the time this paper hits the newsstands, the circumstances for both the Rangers and Knicks could be drastically different.

But right now, on Wednesday, April 24, I just have to say; what a time to root for our local teams.

Right now, as I’m writing this, both denizens of Madison Square Garden have gotten off to a stellar start in the 2024 postseason, going up 2-0 on their first-round opponents. The Knicks and Rangers have defended home court/ ice advantage against the Philadelphia 76ers and the Washington Capitals, respectively, and will be

heading on the road with their title hopes intact later this week. The Garden has been absolutely buzzing for the last few days, and for sports fans of a certain age, it’s hard not to feel more than a little bit nostalgic.

A lot of comparisons have been made in terms of the connections between this year’s playoff scenario and one of the fondest in my memory, that of 1994. The Knicks are the No. 2 seed, the Rangers won the President’s Trophy, and both are harboring grand—but achievable dreams of postseason success.

For fans around my age, 1994 was a surreal time. At 10 years old, at the very height of of sports fandoms. it seemed like things were just aligning for my MSG teams. And now, as a much wiser— not really—sports fan, it seems like things are rounding into shape again.

Are the Knicks an NBA Championship team? Can the Rangers repeat their ’94 run? The jury is still out, obviously, but through four playoff games, I’m feeling good again.

The Knicks’ Monday night win was an all-timer and I’m all set to buckle in for the white-knuckle exhilaration of a Stanley Cup playoff run. Of course it doesn’t mean things will work out the same way as they did 30 years ago, but I’m willing buy into the early signs. I’m hoping that one day, we’ll think of names like Mika Zibanejad and Josh Hart the same way we think of Adam Graves and John Starks. Will it happen? That’s anyone’s guess.

But right now, it’s just nice to be living in that fantasy, thinking about all that’s possible for these teams.

Pelham’s Taylor Green had three goals and two assists, breaking the school’s previous assist record of 57 on her first assist of the game.

10 Rye players found the net on the day, as the Garnets won their second straight game to improve to 6-2 on the year. Will Njdadlick had four goals, Paddy Harrigan had three for the Garnets.

The Eagles took on Section 1 power Panas this week, nearly unseating the Panthers but ultimately falling short in a 3-2 nail biter.

Panas was led by a big offensive day from Dean Sewall who collected two hits and drove in two of the Panthers’ three runs.

Despite picking up the loss, Eastchester’s Jason Ugalde had a stellar afternoon, allowing just one earned run in 6.1 innings of work and going 3-for-4 at the plate.

Kieran McCloskey scored both of Eastchester’s runs.

A high-scoring affair ended after six innings on Tuesday, as North Salem and Tuckahoe battled to an 11-11 draw.

Connor Brice and Jay Romeo set the tone for the Tigers, with both players recording three hits and scoring three runs on the afternoon. Brice also drove in three runs. North Salem was paced by David Torres, who went 2-for-3 with three RBIs.

Eastchester’s defense does its best to contain a Rye attacker on Wednesday. The Garnets controlled the ball for much of the game and came away with a shutout.
