Ex-Mamaroneck library official sentenced to probation for stealing $34K
Westchester County District
Attorney Miriam E. Rocah announced today that the former business manager of the Mamaroneck Public Library was sentenced to three years of probation for stealing more than $43,000 from the library between 2016 and 2023.
DA Rocah said: “This defendant violated the trust of her employer and the Mamaroneck community by stealing funds from the Mamaroneck Public Library to benefit herself. Today’s sentence
includes the return of money stolen from the Mamaroneck Public Library.”
The defendant, Mary Soto, 62, of Mamaroneck, pleaded guilty on April 24 to Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree, a felony. As part of her plea agreement, the defendant paid full restitution in the amount of $43,940.
Between May 2016 and February 2023, the defendant stole approximately $43,940 from the library’s bank accounts in the form of credit card and recurring
debit transactions for personal expenses. The defendant resigned from the library in March 2023 after 27 years.
The DA’s Criminal Investigators Squad arrested the defendant on Dec. 14, 2023.
The case was before New York State Supreme Court Justice Larry Schwartz in Westchester County Court and prosecuted by the Public Integrity and Law Enforcement Integrity Bureau, with assistance from Forensic Accountant Michael Frenza.
The U.S Department of Agriculture has expanded its recall of deli meats linked to a multi-state Listeria outbreak. An additional 71 varieties of Virginia ham, salami and bologna that were produced in a Virginia plant and sold under the Boar’s Head and Old Country brands have been added, in addition to the original Boar’s Head liverwurst that tested positive for the listeriosis bacteria.
Westchester County Health Commissioner Sherlita Amler, MD said: “We want people to be aware of this recall of deli meat, and the potential risk of a Listeria infection. If you have these products in your refrigerator at home discard of them immediately, or return them to the store where the food was purchased. Check the Health Department’s website for proper cleaning protocols to sanitize your refrigerator and prevent the contamination of other foods. If you have consumed these products and are exhibiting symptoms, contact your health care provider immediately.”
For a full list of the contaminated products and more detailed cleaning instructions, visit the Health Department’s website.
There were 33 people who were hospitalized in connection with the Listeria outbreak across 13 states. There have been two deaths; one in Illinois
and one in New Jersey. Listeria infection can affect anyone who eats contaminated food, causing mild intestinal illness. It is especially harmful for those who are pregnant, age 65 or older, or who have a weakened immune system due to certain medical conditions or treatments. Listeria can cause pregnancy loss, premature birth or a life-threatening infection in a newborn and can be deadly for seniors and those with weakened immunity.
Anyone who ate food linked to this outbreak and who has a fever and other symptoms of listeriosis, such as fatigue and muscle aches, should contact a healthcare provider. Most medical experts say that anyone who may have eaten contaminated food but does not feel sick does not need tests or treatment. Talk with a healthcare provider if you have questions about what to do.
An estimated 1,600 people get Listeria food poisoning each year and about 260 die, according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention. Listeria infections typically cause fever, muscle aches and tiredness and may cause stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Symptoms can occur quickly or to up to 10 weeks after eating contaminated food.

Mosquitoes with West Nile Virus found in Westchester
The Westchester County Health Department announced that this season’s first batches of mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus in Westchester were found in Croton, Mount Vernon, Rye, White Plains and Yonkers. The Health Department will inspect areas surrounding the positive mosquito batches and if needed, treat any nearby catch basins that hold standing water to protect against further mosquito breeding nearby.
These are the first positives out of 45 batches of mosquitos collected by the County Health Department from eight locations throughout Westchester that were tested for West Nile Virus by the New York State Department of Health
Commissioner of Health Sherlita Amler, MD said: “As you spend more time outdoors, protect yourself and your family by using repellents, especially from dawn to dusk, when many mosquitoes are active. Apply sunscreen first, and repellent second.”
Throughout the season, the Department also traps and tests mosquitoes to track the presence of mosquito-borne viruses.
Symptoms of West Nile include fever, headache, body aches and joint pain, but can be more serious for people 60 and older, and those with underlying medical conditions.
Tips to Avoid West Nile:
• Avoid the outdoors in the late afternoon and
early evening when mosquitoes are active and feeding. When outdoors use insect repellents and follow the label instructions.
• Adults can use insect repellents with up to 30 percent DEET on infants over two months of age by applying the product to their own hands and then rubbing it onto their children, avoiding their children’s hands, eyes and mouth.
• Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts and socks when outdoors, especially in areas where mosquitoes are active and feeding.
• Check around your property for anything that can hold water, and pour it out or put it away. Mosquitos don’t travel far from a water source.
• Check and remove standing water from children’s toys and play houses left outside.
• Remove discarded tires.
• Drill holes in the bottoms of all recycling containers that are left outdoors.
• Turn over plastic wading pools, buckets and wheelbarrows when not in use.
• Change the water in birdbaths at least twice weekly.
• Keep storm drains and gutters clear of leaves and debris.
• Continue to chlorinate swimming pools, outdoor spas and hot tubs until properly winterized or drained for the season. Also, if not chlorinated, drain any water that collects on their covers.

Lafayette Returns To Mamaroneck
On Aug. 18, the Village of Mamaroneck will welcome descendants of American Revolutionary War hero-Frenchman Lafayette on the 200th Anniversary of his 1824 triumphant return to America.
Lafayette is the most decorated foreigner in American History, given Honorary American Citizenship by an act of Congress in 2002. Open to the public, the 1 to 4 p.m. event will take place on the grounds of the Old School House in Harbor Island Park. The highlight will be the 2:30 p.m. welcoming of Lafayette descendants, a Lafayette actor and members of the American Friends of Lafayette. They will be met by community leaders, with proclamations and talks about Mamaroneck during the era, concluding with a 19-gun salute.
The 3-hour event will feature re-enactors (soldier, tailor and candlestick maker), story tellers and musicians demonstrating life during the period. The School House will be open for an exhibit and talks about Mamaroneck in that era.
Participants include the Boy & Girl Scouts, The Daughters & Sons of the American Revolution, American Legion Post 90, Friends of Lafayette, The French American School, LMC Media, the Mamaroneck Historical Society and the Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions.
Prior to the event, the Mamaroneck Library will have an exhibition on books and media about Lafayette. On Aug. 8 at 4 p.m., John Pritts, from the Mamaroneck Historical Society, will give a talk on Lafayette and Mamaroneck at the time of his 1824 return.
New Rochelle contractor sentenced for failing to pay workers
Westchester County District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah announced today that a New Rochelle contractor who owned and operated Fuerte Construction LLC was convicted on eight misdemeanor counts of wage theft and sentenced to three years of probation and a $12,000 fine for failing to pay more than $31,500 to eight workers he employed between 2020 and 2023 as painters, carpenters and laborers.
DA Rocah said: “Not paying workers for months on end is a crime and not a business model. We will continue to hold employers who commit wage theft accountable and that includes securing from them the full amount of backpay owed to workers. Additionally, I applaud the October 2023 law enacted by the state legislature that expands wage theft greater than $1,000 to be charged as a felony. This will aid in preventing and combating this pernicious problem that has dire consequences for working families and communities.”
Artemio Fuerte, 38, of New Rochelle, was sentenced before Judge Eileen Songer-McCarthy today in New Rochelle City Court, following his guilty pleas on May 1 to six counts of Failure to Pay Wages and again on June 7 to two additional counts of Failure to Pay Wages.
The defendant’s sentence includes a $1,500 fine on each of the eight counts totaling $12,000 to be paid through probation, which will run concurrent on all three of his cases.
As part of his plea agreement, the defendant paid full restitution in the amount of $31,583 to the eight victims prior to sentencing.
The Economic Crimes Bureau of the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office launched an investigation into the defendant and his business in 2022 after complaints were filed by individuals who did not get paid working for Mr. Fuerte.
The DA’s Office Criminal Investigators Squad arrested the defendant on May 23, 2022 for failing to pay four workers a total of $21,150 between December 2020 and November 2021. Investigators arrested the defendant a second time on Oct. 14, 2022 for failing to pay two additional workers a total of $2,370 between March and August 2022, and arrested the defendant, a third time, on Jan. 30, 2024 for failing to pay two additional workers a total of $8,063 between November 2022 and February 2023.
The District Attorney thanked workers’ rights advocates at St. John Bosco Parish-Don Bosco Workers in Port Chester, Catholic Charities Community Services-Archdiocese of New York in Yonkers, and United Community Center of Westchester in New Rochelle for assisting the victims with filing complaints with the DA’s Office.
Victims and witnesses of wage theft and labor fraud, regardless of immigration status or language, can file a complaint directly with the DA’s Office at (914)995-TIPS (8477) or online at www.westchesterda.net.
The case was prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Emily Rowe-Smith of the Economic Crimes Bureau, with assistance from Forensic Accountant Michael Frenza, both of the Trials and Investigations Division.

Elected officials prepare to ‘Cool Off for a Cause’
Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts, Yonkers
Mayor Mike Spano, and the family of ALS Ice
Bucket Challenge co-founder and late Yonkers
Native Pat Quinn will host the 2024 ALS Ice
Bucket Challenge on Saturday, Aug. 3. Since its 2015 inception at Empire City, elected officials at all levels of government have shown their support for the cause, including leaders such as U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York), New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-35th Senate District), Westchester County Executive George Latimer, and representatives across state, county, and city governments.
This year’s confirmed participants include New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, New York State Assembly Member J. Gary Pretlow, New York State Assembly Member Nader Sayegh, Westchester County Board of Legislator José Alvarado, Westchester County Board of Legislator James Nolan, Westchester County Board of Legislator Vedat Gashi, Westchester County Board of Legislator David Tubiolo, Yonkers City Mayor Mike Spano, Yonkers City Council President Lakisha Collins-Bellamy, Yonkers City Council Majority Whip Deana R. Robinson (1st District), Yonkers City Council Member Corazon Pineda Isaac (2nd District), Yonkers City Council Member Tasha Diaz (3rd District), Yonkers City Council Member Majority Leader John Rubbo (4th District), and Mount Vernon City Council President Cathlin Gleason.
“As we commemorate a decade of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, it is more important than ever to come together in support of those battling this
devastating disease,” said New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins. “This event not only honors the memory of my friend Pat Quinn, but also embodies the resilience and solidarity of our community. Under my leadership, the State Senate has provided over $1.3 million for ALS research in the last five years. I am proud to support Empire City Casino and the Quinn family and thank them for their incredible commitment.”
ALS, often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease”, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Quinn, who lost his battle with ALS in November 2020, continues to have his mission, drive and determination carried on through his family, friends, community, and elected officials to raise awareness and find a cure for the approximately hundreds of thousands of others impacted by the disease.
The event, co-founded by Quinn after his diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in 2013 at the age of 30, became a global phenomenon as more than 17 million people around the world participated in the challenge via social media by dumping buckets of ice water on their heads. The event continues to remain a catalyst for raising funds to support research to identify a cure for the debilitating disease and raise awareness of the need for more research funding. Social media has also allowed patients to connect from all around the world, including Pat Quinn Jr. while he was alive.
It is reported that an ALS patient dies in the U.S. every ninety minutes. In the ten years since
it was founded, ALS Ice Bucket Challenges have significantly increased the awareness of this deadly disease globally and in the last six years, three ALS drugs have been approved by the FDA with several others in clinical trials.
“We take this challenge to bring awareness and to solidify our commitment to making this a liveable disease. We are ever hopeful that there will one day be a cure or treatment to stop ALS in its tracks.”
Of all the support from elected officials over the years, it is Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano who has proudly taken on the ice bucket challenge every single year that Empire City has hosted the event.
“The City of Yonkers is proud to carry the legacy of Pat Quinn over the last decade,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano. “Every year, I witness the inspirational show of love for Pat and because of him, there is greater hope. We can’t stop now. There are so many families dealing with the devastation of ALS. We are so grateful for our partners at all levels of government for their continued support. We are in this every August until we find a cure with our partners at Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts
The 2024 Annual Ice Bucket Challenge will be held outdoors trackside, is free to participate, and attendees of all ages are welcome. Festivities will begin at 1:00 p.m. with the ice bucket dump scheduled for 2:00 p.m. Day-of, walk-up registration will also be available, but online advance registration is strongly encouraged to secure a space and bucket.

Settling in on the Olympics
It’s officially Olympics time, which means it’s time for sports fans and armchair critics alike to take umbrage with the presentation and content of this year’s games. It’s a tale as old as I can remember honestly; the excitement of watching the the world’s best athletes compete undercut by nitpicks about how differences in time zones impacts the consumption of Olympic content and which sports are—or are not—included in the global event.
But while those complaints may be constant, I prefer to take a different path. Because even though I might not understand the intricacies of some of the events I’m
watching, it’s the personal stories of the competitors that keeps me glued to the Olympics every time they roll around.
I mean sure, I’m a basketball fan, so you’d expect me to be heavily tuned into the men’s basketball event which features the top NBA players in the world sharing the court in international play. But I know those athletes so well—I mean LeBron James has been part of my sports-watching life since I was a freshman in college—I struggle to find those games as intriguing as others might.
Where I feel that the Olympics really excel, however, is in their ability to shine the spotlight on athletes in lesser-known sports with backstories, quirks, and personalities that turn them into compelling figures.

horse specialist Stephen Nedoroscik has been one such athlete in the early-goings of this year’s games, having a grand moment on the international stage and has emerged as the sort of worldwide media darling consistently made by the Olympics. As has Turkish pistol shooter Yusuf Dikec, who burst onto the scene with a silver medal this week despite his complete lack of first-rate equipment and seeming ease in the high-pressure event. It are these sorts of stories that even the most thorough sports fan would be unaware of if not for the Olympic Games and that’s what makes them so interesting. We as consumers are being challenged to think outside of the normal scope of “Major” American sports and learn more about the commonality of the sacrifices made by athletes across a wide swath of disciplines.
Will these be names we’ll remember in 10 years? Will they be relegated to the odd corners of our memories? It’s tough to say now, but I always enjoy watching these dedicated athletes perform at the height of their powers in what, for many, is the biggest moment of their lives.
And if that’s not what sports is all about, I don’t know what is.
The Summer Olympics kicked off in France last week, and Sports Editor Mike Smith says he’s excited to watch some intriguing personalities tackle a wide array of events.
Opportunity for growth at New Ro summer league
By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor
On a muggy July night last week, two Section 1 basketball powers took the court at New Rochelle’s Lincoln Park, as Rye and New Rochelle squared off in summer league action to get a taste of competition and keep their skills sharp over the course of the long off-season.
But after a back-and-forth game that saw both the Huguenots and Garnets show why both teams reached the Section 1 finals last winter—in Class AAA and A respectively—it was New Rochelle that came away with a 45-43 win.
But for Rye coach Tommy Proudian, wins and losses this summer haven’t been as important as simply getting a good run against other talented basketball teams.
“One of the reasons we joined this league was because of the quality of teams like New Rochelle, Mount Vernon and DeWitt Clinton,” said Proudian. “If we didn’t have so many returning players and I didn’t think we were up for the challenge
this year, we would have found something else.”
Like New Rochelle, Rye will bring back the majority of impact players from last season’s Class A runner-up squad, and Proudian said that it’s been fun to watch the Garnet players continue to play with the same chemistry that carried them on their solid run last winter.
But after Rye’s longtime head coach John Aguilar stepped down following last year’s campaign, Proudian—who served as the head junior varsity coach and also coaches football at Rye—was tapped to helm the Garnet squad and said he’s eager for the opportunity to watch this talented group of players continue to grow.
“It’s been a pretty seamless transition so far, I’ve coached the majority of the boys on junior varsity, and I’ve also coached them in football,” said Proudian. “It’s a strong nucleus and I’m really looking forward to this opportunity.”
Rye played five games over the course of the summer league season, and although Proudian noted it has been something of a challenge finding court time
for a group filled with multisport athletes, the Garnets have gotten more than enough work in this summer to make the summer league a success.
“I don’t believe in specialization and I think it’s great that we have guys who excel in other sports,” said the head coach. “We’ve got a lot of potential on this team,
we have so many guys who played roles for us last year are going to be playing even bigger roles this year.
“I don’t want to overcoach them,” he added with
a chuckle. “And I’m looking forward to seeing them flourish.”
