unveil Rye’sAbove Public Art Project

Westchester County officials and the Westchester County 9/11 First Responders Memorial Committee will commemorate the conclusion of recovery operations at Ground Zero by paying their respects at Westchester’s 9/11 First Responders Memorial, honoring the men and women who have died from 9/11-related illnesses.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “This marks a solemn observance as we commemorate the end of the rescue and recovery operations at Ground Zero. We remember and honor the courageous men and women who rushed toward danger to aid in the rescue and recovery efforts following the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Here in Westchester County, our community feels a profound connection to many of those brave souls, including those who later succumbed to 9/11-related illnesses.”

Westchester Deputy County Executive Ken Jenkins said: “Today, and always, we honor the brave men and women who faced danger head-on to assist after the tragic events of September 11, 2001. In Westchester County these heroes have walked amongst us for years and as they sadly lose their health battles we will be there to support them and their families every step of the way.”

Westchester County First Responders 9/11 Health-related Illnesses Committee Co-Chairs Matthew McCauley and Georgia M. Asciutto said: “Today marks another somber day of remembrance, when the valiant recovery efforts at the pile of destruction from the World Trade Centers ended 22 years ago. While recovery at the site ended May 30, 2002, it continues on for the individuals and family members who lost loved ones in the beginning, in the months and years that followed, and for those still suffer-

ing from 9/11 health-related effects.”

Westchester County was among the first governments to unveil a 9/11 memorial dedicated to first responders who lost their lives due to 9/11-related illnesses. The Westchester County 9/11 First Responders Memorial is a promise fulfilled by Latimer to honor those we have lost.

The memorial, located at the Kensico Dam Plaza, features granite stones set on a stone wall, each etched with the names of Westchester first responders lost to 9/11-related illnesses. Designed to complement the stonework of the dam and surround The Rising Memorial, the wall stretches 20 feet and holds up to eight memorial stones. An Eternal Light is centered between the two walls, directly across from The Rising’s entrance. This light will remain on continuously, symbolizing the enduring legacy of those honored by the memorial.

DA’s office, New Ro police host community gun buyback

Westchester County District Attorney’s Office and the New Rochelle Police Department will host a community gun buyback event on Saturday, June 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Shiloh Baptist Church located at 185 Lincoln Avenue in New Rochelle. Eligible participants will be offered up to $250 in prepaid gift cards for surrendered firearms with no questions asked.

Westchester County District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah said: “As we begin National Gun Violence Awareness Month, we are proud to partner with the New Rochelle Police Department on our continuing efforts to reduce gun-involved incidents, including gun suicides. We hope the public takes advantage of this amnesty program—no I.D. is required, and no questions will be asked—to remove firearms from our communities and help prevent guns from ending up in the wrong hands.”

New Rochelle Police Department Commissioner Robert Gazzola said: “The New Rochelle Police Department is partnering with the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office in this gun buyback program to help enhance community safety. By offering a safe and anonymous means for individuals to surrender firearms, we reduce the risk of these weapons falling into the wrong hands. This program not only removes guns from circulation

but also prevents accidents, suicides, and potential use in criminal activities.”

Shiloh Baptist Church Dr. Rev. H. Lee Jordan said: “Community input in gun violence prevention and intervention is key to helping keep our neighborhoods safe. We are proud to partner with the D.A.’s Office and the New Rochelle Police Department to provide a safe space to host this gun buyback event.”

Guns must be unloaded and placed in a plastic bag, paper bag or box. If transported by car, guns must be unloaded, and in the trunk, placed in a plastic bag, paper bag or box. Identification will not be required, and no questions will be asked.

Participants will be offered money in the form of pre-paid gift cards: $250 for assault rifles, $200 for handguns, $100 for shotguns or rifles, and $25 for non-working guns. Payment is subject to inspection and screening onsite by officials. There is no limit to the number of firearms that can be surrendered.

Licensed gun dealers and active or retired members of law enforcement are not eligible to participate, and 3-D printed guns are not eligible for the buyback program.

The STEM Alliance Hosts Their 8th Annual STEM-tastic Festival

On Friday, May 10, The STEM Alliance hosted their 8th Annual STEM-tastic festival at Hommocks Middle School in Larchmont. This free, public event brought the wonders of STEM — Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math — to life with dozens of handson activities. This year’s festival was a huge success, welcoming over 1,000 enthusiastic attendees for an evening filled with exploration and discovery.

The gym and halls of Hommocks were overflowing with STEM experiences and attendees. While it’s hard to identify a stand out experience, one activity was bustling all night - the mini excavator! Children were able to safely operate a backhoe with Blue Collar Open Book, an organization dedicated to building the next generation of construction engineers.

The event’s success depends on more than 145 volunteers and an additional 45plus activity leaders. The intergenerational nature of the event makes it a truly unique community experience with STEM professionals and students working side-by-side to share their joy for hands-on STEM learning. High school and college students played a significant role in the event including The STEM Alliance’s Teen Advisory, Westchester Community College STEM students and

Scarsdale High School’s Robotics Team.

Margie Wolf, STEM Alliance senior manager and event coordinator, expressed her excitement for the event. “It brings me so much joy to see how engaged children and families are with the incredible STEM activities from our local partners.”

Attendees shared in this enthusiasm. Post event surveys showed that 98% of attendees would recommend the event to their friends and 100% agreed that the activities facilitated hands-on STEM learning.

One parent commented, “What a wonderful experience to see all the kids from the whole area enjoying STEM learning together… kids, teenagers and college students involved too. Inspirational.” Another parent exclaimed, “It was amazing! We will make it an annual event. Lasers, drones, old appliances to take apart… I don’t need to take them to Disney World now!”

Many of the STEM-tastic experiences added the “A” for art, expanding the event to a STEAM adventure. Attendees unleashed their creativity with pendulum painting by Marla Beth Designs and sewing pillows with Sew Fun for Kids. STEM-tastic’s Platinum Sponsor, Veolia, ran chromatography projects while LMC Media taught children how to use tech equipment to run mock newscasts.

Over 1K kids gather for library’s annual Vehicle Fair

The Village Green was abuzz with excitement on Sunday, May 19, as 1,100 children from 475 families came together for the Rye Free Reading Room’s annual Vehicle Fair.

Kids and adults had plenty to enjoy, from an impressive array of vehicles including a fire truck, bulldozer, police car, and 100% electric ConEd truck to admire or even sit in a driver’s seat, to kid-friendly activities like a bounce house, face painting, crafts, carnival rides and an inflatable

obstacle course.

The atmosphere was festive with Bubble Bus’s lively music and whimsical bubbles filling the air. Attendees had the chance to win dozens of raffle baskets, many with items donated by local shops and businesses. Food trucks offered snacks from popular hot dogs to lobster rolls, as well as town-favorite Longford’s ice cream.

“The day was a big success thanks to a

massive effort from many volunteers and local sponsors, including head sponsor, Rye Contracting,” said co-chair Avery Bullock. Co-chair Sara Keeshan added, “It’s incredibly rewarding to provide an afternoon of fun for everyone while also raising over $31,000 to help fund library programs that benefit our whole community.”

A wild championship week

Well, that’s a wrap folks!

On Wednesday, the Section 1 season came to an official conclusion as the final winners in the boys lacrosse brackets were accounted for, meaning any team still playing games this Spring is now testing its metal at the regional and state level.

But even as the vast majority of our athletes look to upcoming summer months, we’d be wrong not to revisit championship week and celebrate some of the moments and emotions we experienced in the last nine or so days.

There’s nothing quite like these sectional tournaments to wrap up a sports season. Teams from all over the area work towards one specific goal and while—for many—that goal

remains unreached, the journey remains the most important piece.

Over the last week, the menagerie of emotions we’ve been witness too has been vast. The sheer exuberance of a section championship win—especially when that celebration has been delayed by circumstances and bad luck—is truly a sight to behold. And we certainly got our fill of that this year.

Harrison softball—long one of the perennial Section 1 powerhouses— claimed a Class A title with a win on Saturday. But for as good as Harrison has been through the years, this was the first-ever championship for the Huskies, something that may have been overlooked by casual fans but something pointedly evident in Harrison’s wild celebration.

Celebrations for Mamaroneck lacrosse team and Eastchester baseball squad were similarly poignant, as both programs had faced

major obstacles in the section finals over the last few years, meaning that those moments immediately after this year’s signature winds took on extra importance, both for the players but the fan bases in general.

On the flip side, it was hard not to feel for the teams who came up just short. Players on the scrappy Bronxville boys lacrosse team— pushing powerhouse Pleasantville to the brink in a 6-5 Class D title game—had moments of self-reflection after the final whistle sounded on Tuesday, exchanging words of comfort with each as the Panthers rushed the field exalted in their big win.

And that’s where the beauty of sports lies.

It’s not in the final score, although that is a large part of the story. It’s about the little things that go in to creating the narrative of a season or a game that make the

payoffs so sweet—or bittersweet as the case may be—reminding us that behind stats like goals, walks, runs, and draw controls, there is a deeply human element to sports, especially at this level.

So let’s take a moment to credit all of our student-athletes for a wonderful year, no matter what side of

the ledger they were on in the final game of their season—or career.

Undoubtedly, they walked away from this year with enough memories to last a lifetime. And in the end, isn’t that why we play the game in the first place?

Bronxville players console each other after the Broncos’ 6-5 loss to Pleasantville on May 28. Bronxville’s valiant rally ultimately came up short against the Panthers in the Class D title game.

Eagles claim Section 1 title with win over Fox Lane

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

How fitting it is it that the Dom Cecere Trophy has finally found its way back to Eastchester?.

On May 254, Eastchester’s varsity baseball team won the Section 1 Class AA Championship with a gutsy performance against Fox Lane, erupting for six runs in the top of the first inning and holding on to secure a 6-4 victory for the program’s first Section 1 crown since 2005.

Eastchester’s quick start may have come as something of a shock—both to the Foxes and the crowd—seeing as though the Eagles’ quarterfinal and semifinal-round wins were both low-scoring affairs.

In their previous two playoff games, the Eagles had authored 2-0 and 1-0 wins over Harrison and Tappan Zee, respectively.

On Saturday night, however, Eastchester wasted little time making an impact on the game, tagging Fox Lane starter Mark Schwartz for six runs in the first inning, chasing the southpaw before he was able to record the second out of the ballgame.

“That just hasn’t been something we’ve done;, we really haven’t seen anything like that all year,” said Eastchester head coach Jesse Waters. “But we had an idea we were going to be facing [Schwartz], we andwe did our best to prepare, and we and we really set the tone early on.”

Three Eagles—Matt Porcello, Brady Dunleavy and Blake Gessa—singled in runs, Jayden Cassese took home on a wild pitch, Tristen Fucci drew a walk with the bases loaded and Aidan Schultz drove in a run when he was hit by a pitch with three runners on. That first-inning eruption

ensured that Eagles’ starter Jason Ugalde would take the mound with a six-run lead, something he said gave him confidence as he stared down a potent Foxes’ lineup.

“I have confidence in my ability to go out and compete, but it helps so much to get that kind of run support,” said Ugalde. “It definitely gives you a boost to go out there with the early lead.”

Ugalde cruised through the early innings, giving up a run in the sixth inning before running into a spot of trouble in the bottom of the seventh, as the Foxes were able to cut the lead to two. Ugalde was able to buckle down, however, recording the final out on a lazy fly ball to left field.

Both Ugalde and fellow starter Jake Warnock have been a big piece ofto the Eagles’ success this year, noted Waters, and Ugalde’s performance in the biggest game of the year should not have come as a surprise to

anyone.

“We have so much confidence in Jason;, youwe kneow exactly what we were going to get out of him because that’s what he’s done all year,” said Waters. “We’re blessed to have him.”

With the win, Eastchester will move on to the state regional finals—Section 1 receives a first-round by this year—where they will play the winner of a regional semifinal round game between the champions of Section 4 and Section 9 on June 1.

The victory also marked the first time since 2005 that Eastchester can call itself state champions, as they hoisted the Dom Cecere Trophy—named for the legendary former Eagles coach who helmed the program for 52 years, amassing 732 wins in his hall-of-fame career.

“There’s obviously such a rich history with this Eastchester program, with

Coach Cecere winning championships and all of that,” said senior Aidan Schultz. “After watching Eastchester baseball for at least 10 years of my lifetime, seeing my brother lose heartbreaking games and being on the losing side of those games myself, being able to bring a championship back home is just the best feeling ever.”

Bronxville cruises past Magnus in Class D finals

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

Sometimes a team’s record isn’t the ultimate measure of the talent level on display. Top-seeded Albertus Magnus found this out the hard way on May 24 when they tangled with a 9-6 Bronxville team with the Class D girls lacrosse title hanging in the balance.

The Broncos—who played one of the most challenging schedules in all of Section 1 this spring—showed exactly why regular season records should be thrown out come the postseason, handily defeating the Falcons 14-5 to win yet another Section 1 title.

The Broncos gained momentum right from the outset, opening the game with a fourgoal salvo to put the Falcons in a hole from which they wouldn’t recover.

Bronxville had an 8-2 lead at the half and despite a brief Falcons’ flurry in the third quarter, was never in serious jeopardy from the No. 1 seed.

Charlotte Murray led the Broncos with a hat-trick while Amy Villanueva, Linnea Hentschel, Ellie Garofalo and Maddy Williams all scored twice.

Villanueva said that despite graduating several talented seniors from a team that advanced to the state finals a year ago, Bronxville came into this season with supreme confidence in their ability to make another deep postseason run.

“We lost a lot from last year, but we knew we had what it takes to make it back here,” said the junior midfielder. “We have a lot of sophomores on the roster who have stepped up this year and we’ve really come to count on them.”

Bronxville’s young core certainly earned its stripes during a regular season that saw the team go 9-6 against some of the stiffest competition, which included larger Section

1 powers and top teams from Connecticut and Long Island. That grueling campaign saw them square off against both Class C finalists in Nyack and Rye, and author a decisive win over eventual Class B champion Horace Greeley.

Now with Section 1 play behind them, the team will cast its gaze to a run in the state tourney, which will commence with their May 29 showdown with Section 9 champion O’Neill.

As one of the Broncos’ veteran leaders, Villanueva said that preparation and focus is key for the team in this final stretch.

“It comes down to going out in practice and giving 110 percent,” said the junior. “Going hard in practice will translate to the games; we’re looking forward to that and we’re super-excited about keeping the season alive.”
