Latimer announces tax cut for 2020 operating budget At the home of small business owner and Westchester taxpayer, County Executive George Latimer unveiled his plan for the soon to be released 2020 Operating Budget—in that plan a property tax cut. “We made a commitment to freeze County property taxes, and now we can go a bit further,” Latimer said. “This is the first time, in almost a decade that a County Executive has proposed a budget that reduces the County property tax levy. This budget is about the people who live in
Westchester County, it is about giving them some relief, and making their County the best it can be—by providing services and programs taxpayers rely on while placing the County back onto solid financial ground.” The announcement was made at the home of Monica and Matthew Marone. Matthew Marone owns and operates Westchester Milk, a small business that delivers milk and other food items based in White Plains. “We own a small business and love living in Westchester,”
said the Marones, Greenburgh residents. “Every dollar we save in taxes will be spent back in the community - this is a win-win for everyone.” For the 2020 budget, the county will also have no one shot deals, a step in the right direction to restore the county’s once sterling Aaa bond rating. Further, Latimer outlined that this budget would build up reserves—reserves that were nearly depleted by the last administration. Latimer has directed that $10 million be add-
ed to the county’s “rainy day fund”—bringing it up to $79 million—a 23 percent increase over just one year ago. Finally, this budget features zero borrowing for operating expenses. All ongoing expenses, including pension obligations and tax certioraris, will be paid through the operating budget—not borrowed; a move that in the long run saves taxpayer dollars. The full operating budget will be unveiled at a press conference on Nov. 8. (Submitted)
Westchester County District Attorney Anthony Scarpino Jr. and staff hosted a presentation and training session for law enforcement leadership and personnel on Discovery and Bail Reform in New York State which goes into effect Jan. 1, 2020. More than 200 members of local police departments, state and county police, and other law enforcement organizations attended the briefing. • The new discovery law impacts police departments and district attorneys in the volume of pretrial materials that they must collect and turn over to the defense counsel in an accelerated time frame. Every case, from misdemeanor to Class A felonies, must be handled the same way. • As of 2020, there will be no bail and no pretrial detention in all but the most serious felony cases. Judges are encouraged to release defendants “on their own recognizance” while their cases are pending. While the county District Attorney’s Office has been preparing for its implementation since the summer and meeting with individual police departments, this was the first full group training session for law enforcement serving Westchester County by the District Attorney’s Office. The conference, which took place on Oct. 30, was held in the Westchester County Courthouse. Scarpino opened the session with the importance of the new criminal justice reform laws and how his office is working to make the process as seamless as possible across agencies and the defense bar. Scarpino assured them that the office is putting in place all the mechanisms needed to be in full compliance as of Jan. 1. Deputy District Attorney Paul Noto addressed the conference describing the need for clear understanding and imple-
mentation of the new laws. Specific presentations were given by Deputy District Attorney Steve Vandervelden on the intricacies of discovery reform and the process to meet the statute; and Assistant District Attorney Cynthia Adimari, Rye bureau chief, explained the new bail law. The presentations described the fine points of the new statutes and how police and prosecutors will collaborate to meet the more stringent timelines for turning over pretrial discovery materials. Changes in how the bail structure will change in both local courts and at the county level were laid out fully. In addition, they covered the concerns of witnesses and victims. Part of the county District Attorney’s Office work is training police departments on the new statutes and, in this case, the specific management of case materials. The office is building an electronic content management system to handle the flow and storage of all discovery materials from police, to the District Attorney’s Office and to defense attorneys. The new e-discovery portal is being funded through forfeiture funds. Internally, the county District Attorney’s Office continues to test and build the e-discovery portal, train support staff in local court bureaus and branches and ADAs on how to comply with the new 2020 laws. Scarpino and his leadership team have discussed the new protocols and office staffing needs with County Executive George Latimer and the county Board of Legislators to explain the need for additional ADAs and paralegals to handle the workload. The office has conducted a number of tests to grasp the additional person-hours needed to complete full discovery on a variety of cases within the 15-day parameter. (Submitted)

County reopens the Miller House in N. White Plains Surrounded by the descendants of Ann and Elijah Miller, the family that lived in the Elijah Miller House during the American Revolution, Westchester County Executive George Latimer hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony, officially welcoming the public back to the historically significant home. The newly renovated Westchester County Park property is located at 140 Virginia Road in North White Plains. “This building is not just a historic building that we wanted to honor. This is not just a building that was collapsing, that we made a commitment to re-establish. This building tells you something about who George Washington was when he was here,” Latimer said. “Something about the American spirit is what this house is about. We had an obligation to make sure that George Washington’s presence was never forgotten. We had to figure out how to find the money, we had to figure out how to find the will. The will to make sure that this house did not become a pile of rubble that got swept away, but that it would be here long after
I am gone.” Kathy O’Connor, county parks commissioner, added, “As the Commissioner of the Westchester County Parks Department, I am so thrilled that this property is finally being restored to our docket. It is a high point in the history of Westchester County, and we are looking forward to putting together a great program once we get off and running in November. We want to be able to show our children what it was like to live during this era.” Latimer was also joined by Friends of the Miller House/ Washington’s Headquarters president Linda Fernberg, and Anne Novak, Carole Clarke and their mother, Mary Ann Miller, descendants of Ann and Elijah Miller, the family that lived in the house during the Revolution. The 501 c(3) Friends of Miller House/Washington’s Headquarters is an organization dedicated to help preserve the historic preservation and its ongoing operation. “General Washington had many headquarters in Westchester, but the Miller house is the only one that’s still on its origi-
nal site,” Fernberg said. “County Executive George Latimer gave Westchester a wonderful gift. It will let future generations learn about our history and the importance of this home.” The Miller House’s public programming will begin with two presentations of “Patriot in a Petticoat: The Life of Ann Fisher Miller,” on Sunday, Nov. 17. Ann Miller, her husband, Elijah, and their family lived there during the war. The two-hour program will start with a narrated visual historical depiction of life in Westchester from about 1755 to 1790. A reenactor playing Ann will then tell the fact-based story about the Millers’ life, family, home and experiences during that time. “Ann” will then invite the public to tour the home’s interior. The program will be presented by the Daughters of Liberty’s Legacy. The Miller House is on the National Register of Historic Places, the New York State Register of Historic Places and the Westchester County Inventory of Historic Places. It’s also a town of North Castle Landmark. (Submitted)

The New 60 is a weekly look about what it’s like to be in your 60’s in today’s world: adult children living at home, downsizing (jobs and houses), finding old friends on Facebook and deciphering text-speak. It’s a Brave New World of second homes, second careers and second marriages…and finding out after a lifetime of milkshakes and ice cream that you’re suddenly lactose-intolerant. The New 60 is created by two local 60-plus Westchester residents, John Colquhoun of Bronxville and Andy Landorf, who hails from Tarrytown. The duo are long-time advertising creatives and this, as the saying goes, is their Act II. Even though it features folks in their 60’s, if you know someone who is 60, have a parent who’s 60 or just generally enjoy watching funny things happen to other people, you’ll find something to relate to here—you may even find yourself saying, “Hey, that happened to me!” To read more of the New 60, visit their website at thenew60comic.com.

Explore art in the age of the algorithm Data is the most abundant byproduct of contemporary life, with humankind generating more than 50 million laptops-worth of data daily. ArtsWestchester invites you to explore the artist’s use of this cutting-edge content in its upcoming exhibit, Dataism. Featuring 13 contemporary area artists, Dataism will be on view from Nov. 5 through Jan. 25, 2020 in the ArtsWestchester Gallery, 31 Mamaroneck Ave., in White Plains. “In the age of the algorithm, every facet of our lives, from whom we date to the news we read, is shaped by a formula that is driven by data—data we knowingly or remotely provide,” said Janet Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester. “From ATM transactions to signing an online petition, from an Instagram post to a Google search, our daily interactions are transformed into data points that are collected and
stored remotely. Dataism aims to reclaim the mining and interpretation of this data as an illuminating and empowering cultural practice.” Supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Westchester Community College Center for the Digital Arts, Dataism presents artists who use data as points of entry into areas as mundane as daily life or as comprehensive as climate change, financial markets, privacy, surveillance and political power. Dataism presents this abundance of data through handcrafted techniques such as drawings, painting, sculptures and digital works. The exhibition was conceived by Kathleen Reckling, ArtsWestchester’s deputy director of public programs and organized by Amy Kurlander, ArtsWestchester Gallery curator, and Lise Prown, guest curator.

Minor aesthetics around the village BRONXVILLE TODAY Mayor Mary Marvin
Let there be light! As daylight savings time fast approaches, we at Village Hall are concentrating on illuminating some dark pockets throughout the village. Chief among the locations is the area contiguous with the north-bound arrivals side of the Metro-North station. With a projected installation date of Nov. 15, we will be adding single and double tear drop lights in the vicinity of Lake Avenue, Westbourne and at the Palmer Avenue crosswalk. One quite diseased tree will need to be removed in the process. Thanks to the generosity of the Boulder Ledge Garden Club, it will be replaced with an upward growing elm that will not block any vistas. Similar tear drop fixtures will also be added at the Midland Avenue/Pondfield Road intersection, our busiest in the village. Added tear drop fixtures will be installed on Sagamore Road adjacent to the Eliza Corwin Frost Nursery School and at the crest of Sagamore Road near the entrance to Bacon Woods Park. Parts from the several globe lights in that vicinity will be cannibalized for parts to replace some of the more dilapidated globe structures throughout the village. You will see areas of ground prep work in the coming days to facilitate the electrical hookups. Again the result of an accident, we have accelerated our upgrade of the intersection of Midland Avenue and Crows Nest/ Masterton Road. Currently, we have orange cones and painted demarcation to test a proposed configuration as designed by our traffic engineer in consult with our Police Department. The end result will be an attractive is-
land with appropriately placed stop signs as well as a road narrowing to facilitate decreased speed. Rather than building the island and then needing to jackhammer, should traffic patterns, resident input, and police observation suggest modification, we are employing the same cone and paint method we employed at the Kensington and Sagamore Road intersection which changed in shape and size from the temporary configuration. These are the first of many other safety/traffic initiatives to be rolled out per the guidance of our village Comprehensive Plan initiative. We have accelerated the timeframe in some locations due to damage or disrepair of existing equipment. One such example is the intersection of Meadow and Kraft Avenues near St. Joseph’s School. Our now non-conforming light re: Federal and New York State standards, has reached the end of its long life and continued malfunction has necessitated the needed upgrade. You will soon see a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) in lieu of a light at the location. When a button is pressed, the beacon will flash alerting drivers to stop. Prior to this change, the light stayed 95 percent green all the time which became the norm for most drivers on this route. This expectation lulled drivers and created a false sense of security for walkers who assumed drivers were alert for the very occasional red light and would automatically stop. Adding to the confusion, the light was located mid-block, not at all an expected location. Of added importance, the light did not conform to any safety standards, thus affecting village liability going forward. In concert with the intersection change, the village will also upgrade the
crosswalk to further increase pedestrian visibility. If any pedestrian prefers a different crossing configuration, the Cedar Street/Kraft Avenue, just 100 feet away, is an optimal alternative. In the past year, the trustees have made a priority effort, in concert with Police Department, to add crosswalks throughout the village to encourage walkability. One such location was at Midland Avenue and Sycamore Street. We are in the process of evaluating other intersections, chief among them is at Avon Road and Park Avenue. We have also lobbied the state Department of Transportation and understand that our request for a signalized crosswalk at Pondfield Road and Route 22 has been approved and part of their next capital plan. At this juncture, we are not privy to a time frame. Currently, we have installed six solar speeding/caution signs, have more on order and plan to add more in the upcoming budget process. Our Police Department with constant monitoring, have unquestionably believed the signs have contributed to speed decrease. The sign, soon to arrive, will be placed near Midland Avenue and Masterton Road on the northbound side. With advice from Chief Satriale, the trustees approved an overtime budget that addresses issues that have long frustrated residents and trustees alike. Included not surprisingly is double yellow line crossing and speeding in residential neighborhoods. The issuance of tickets for these violations results in 95 percent of the funds going directly to state coffers. Net net the only and best benefit is safety in the village. When all this work is completed, our next focus will be on the intersection of Kraft Avenue and Park Place. Stay tuned.

Featuring just six artists at a time, Salon Sundays showcases a much smaller number of studio artists than RiverArt’s annual Studio Tour, which typically features around 100 artists each spring. The Salon Sundays series, by contrast, will offer more opportunity for the public to engage with Rivertowns’ artmakers, and for those artmakers to share their projects and progress with each other. “In many ways Salon Sundays are the same in philosophy as the Studio Tour, but in a tighter pack-
age,” said Jeff Dietz, event coordinator, adding that the event will be “more time-manageable.” According to Dietz, Salon Sundays was an addition to the larger, weekend-long Studio Tour in the spring, where “the public sometimes runs out of time to visit all the amazing artists on the tour, and participating artists don’t have any time to see each other’s work.”Inspired by the French salons made popular in the 18th century, salons were a means for new and emerging artists to gather and showcase their full bodies of work. Artists of the day filled walls, floor to ceiling, exhibiting anything and everything for the public and each other. Salons drew intellectuals,
writers, poets, sculptors, painters, printmakers, supporters and those interested in engaging with the creative community. “We strongly encourage anyone attending a Salon Sunday to come with their curiosity peaked, ask questions, and learn who’s who in the local art community,” Dietz said. “It’s powerful to interact with artists in their space. We’re hoping this event will increase community involvement and provide a chance to meet one-on-one with area artists and experience art up close. “Salon Sundays will run once a month beginning Nov. 10, from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. For more information, visit riverarts.org/salon.

It’s certainly not a great time to be an official in professional sports. Not that I’m saying it has ever been an easy profession, but it just seems like the last few years have been particularly tough on the referees and umpires we task with enforcing the rules of our sports, and I don’t think that’s likely to change any time soon. On Tuesday night, during Game 6 of the World Series, sports fans got yet another taste of why umpiring is such a hard job—and just how much of an impact it could have on a game. Up by one run with a man on in the seventh inning, Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner hit a dribbler down the third base line, high-tailed it to first and was struck in the back by an errant throw from Astros’ catcher Rob-
inson Chirinos. The ball bounced into right field, Turner took second, and all of a sudden the Nationals had a prime chance to blow open a game and keep their season alive. Except, they didn’t. After a quick conference, the umpires ruled that Turner had been out of the baseline and had interfered with the throw and was therefore out, while the runner who had advanced to third was sent back to first base. After what seemed like an interminable review period, the call was upheld and Nationals fans—and their manager Dave Martinez—went wild, leading to Martinez’s ejection. Luckily for the Nats, the play wouldn’t matter all that much. A few batters later, Anthony Rendon would club a two-run homer and Washington would go on to win 7-2, forcing a Game 7. But things could’ve been so much worse. Just last year, a botched call in

the NFL playoffs denied the New Orleans Saints a trip to the Super Bowl. The call was unmistakably blown, prompting reforms to the replay system implemented this fall. Like that play, Tuesday’s interference call will no doubt spark calls for reform in baseball circles. Heck, after an erratic strike zone in Game 5, fans—and the commissioner—are already calling for the implementation of robotic umpires calling strikes. I’m all for progress, I’m all for getting the calls right, but the one thing I fear is this; when it comes to officials, leagues are always playing catch up. It seems to take a catastrophe—or a near one—to spur sports leagues into action. But the leagues seem incapable of thinking two steps ahead. They will change rules based on one egregious missed call, while several other potential problems are overlooked until they can be overlooked no longer. I get that league commission-

ers aren’t clairvoyant. There’s no way for them to foresee every controversy that might arise with officials in their organization. But I think that, at the very least,
they’re going to need to start to think outside of the box now that they know that public scrutiny is fixed firmly on their officials. And that’s a call I can make

Game Notes: • Megan Krestinski & Lily Jebejian scored for Bronxville • The Broncos have won 8 games in a row • They will play No. 6 Briarcliff on 10/31 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Monday, Oct. 28, the Bronxville girls’ soccer team punched its ticket to the Class B semifinals, authoring a dominant 2-0 win over Rye Neck to keep its season alive. The victory was the eighth straight for the Broncos, who need just two more wins to repeat as Class B champions. Bronxville came out of the gates hot on Monday, maintaining possession of the ball and getting several good looks on net early on in the first half. After sending a few shots off the cross-

bar, the Broncos broke through in the 29th minute, getting a goal off the foot of Megan Krestinski to take a 1-0 lead. Lily Jebejian would add an insurance goal
I thought we were getting good chances and just needed to knock one in,” Bronxville head coach Don Cupertino said. “And we finally got one, and then added the second goal and we felt like we were able to breathe a little bit.” The Broncos faced a unique challenge coming into Monday’s contest, having twice played the Panthers during the regular season. Bronxville previously topped Rye Neck 3-2 and 2-0, but came into the postseason game knowing they would need to sustain their energy in order to come away with a third win. “You kind of have to adjust that state of mind the third time around because it’s a playoff game,” Cupertino said. “But we came out with the same game plan because it had worked twice before, even though Rye Neck was definitely up for it.” With the victory, Bronxville will move onto the semifinal round, where they will play No. 6 Briarcliff on Oct. 31, after press time. The Bears are one of two lower seeds to reach the semifinals—the other being No. 13 Blind Brook—and were able to advance to the semis with a 1-0 win over No. 3-seeded Westlake on Oct. 29. According to Cupertino, the Bears’ status as an underdog
in the second half for the No. 2 seed. “I always say that soccer is the one sport you can dominate a game and still lose, and early on

makes them a particularly dangerous opponent. “It’s definitely an issue, and in our mind we can’t look at Briarcliff as an underdog,” he said. “They’ve got a very strong team,
two very good players, so it’s really going to come down to which team is able to make the most of their opportunities.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
