Latimer signs 2023 county budget

Westchester County Executive George Latimer signed his 2023 Westchester County Budget, cutting the County Property Tax Levy by $6 million, flanked by members of the Westchester County Departments of Emergency Services, Corrections, Probation and Public Safety. The budget was passed by the county Board of Legislators earlier in the day, bipartisan 17-0.

New Rochelle’s Bramson won’t seek reelection in 2023

In a letter to the New Rochelle community, Mayor Noam Bramson expressed a “deep sense of gratitude—for the partnership of colleagues in government, for the energy, wisdom, and generosity of supporters, and, above all, for the trust and confidence of the people of New Rochelle.”

When his term concludes at the end of 2023, Bramson will have served New Rochelle for nearly three decades—18 years as mayor and 10 years as a member of the City Council.

Bramson’s legacy is wide-ranging. Under his leadership, New Rochelle is experiencing the most dynamic growth in a century, with unprecedented economic development throughout its downtown. Bramson was instrumental in advancing the city’s environmental goals by writing and adopting New Rochelle’s first sustainability plan. Working with colleagues in the city

administration and council, Bramson advocated for and approved record investments in infrastructure, parks, and capital assets. And Bramson was front and center in securing competitive national and state grants for innovative initiatives such as the LINC and NRVR.

“Our progress today is made even more gratifying by the memory of challenges overcome,” said Bramson. “Far and wide, New Rochelle is viewed now as an innovative leader with an exceptionally bright future. And through it all, we have preserved what is best in our civic character – an inclusive spirit that celebrates diversity and welcomes people of every tradition and circumstance.”

In addition, Bramson led New Rochelle through some of its most challenging experiences: the Great Recession of 2008, which imposed enormous pressures on cities throughout America, and the

COVID crisis, when the city was in the global spotlight as an initial epicenter of the viral outbreak, and

“For the great majority of my tenure as City Manager, I have worked with Noam as the City’s Mayor,” said City Manager Chuck Strome.

“He has been New Rochelle’s chief elected official through both difficult and good times, and has always been willing to stand up and be the face of our City to its residents no matter how good or bad the situation was. I was extremely thankful for his ability to help guide us through the pandemic with his honest and straightforward communication with our residents. Noam has always sought to improve our City, balancing development with sustainability and resiliency, whether on the waterfront, in the downtown or in our many diverse neighborhoods. It has been my pleasure to serve with Noam and I wish him well in his future endeavors.”

Latimer said: “I am signing this budget today and thinking of all the families who are preparing for the holidays – this budget is for them. We have cut taxes again and have done so while also expanding the programs and services they have come to depend on. I am proud of this budget, and our collaboration with the Board of Legislators; this is what honest and fair governing is, that is who we are as an administration and as a County.”

The total budget is $2.365 billion and includes Latimer’s fourth County property tax cut in a row. Closing 2022 with projected $65.9 million operating surplus No borrowing for tax certs No borrowing for pension No use of fund balance 2023 Budget contains no borrowing or one-shots No borrowing for tax certs No use of fund balance No borrowing for cash flow County Board of Legislators

Chairwoman Catherine Borgia: “Westchester County is stronger and in a better state financially, and we are paying it forward to our residents. We’ve prioritized meaningful investments in areas that affect our constituents every day. Parents receiving subsidies can now pay less out of pocket to afford better quality childcare. We’re closing the digital divide by expanding internet access throughout the County. We’ve increased funding for communi-

ty-based organizations providing services directly to those who need them. I am excited for all that we will accomplish in 2023 through mutual commitment and collaboration with the County Executive’s Office.”

The 2023 Budget funds the departments of Corrections, Public Safety, Probation and Emergency Services at the highest levels in Westchester County history:

• Correction $156.6 million

• Public Safety $59.1 million

• Probation $50.2 million

• Department of Emergency Services $13 million

The County is also focusing on food assistance, the Budget has $2 million in funding for Feeding Westchester and food pantries around the County. Additionally, for Child Care, the Budget reduces the parent share from 27% in 2018 to 5% in 2023.

Economic Development accounts for $6 million in the 2023 Operating Budget, with a focus on the Life Sciences, Tourism and Healthcare Sectors. This includes $1.4 million for the Downtown Improvement Grant (DIG) Program.

The budget allots $218.7 million for the County Health Department, that includes $1 million for maternal mortality. Additionally, the budget is expanding funding to Federally Qualified Health Centers/Neighborhood Health Centers by $1 million bringing the total to $3 million.

The 2023 Budget has $17.2 million for the Department of Community Mental Health (DCMH), specifically the Project Alliance Mobile Crisis Response Team, $6.1 million for Crisis Network and 988 Suicide Crisis Lifeline, $565,000 for Opioid

County seeks donations for annual holiday gift drive

Westchester County urgently needs your help bringing holiday cheer to some of the County’s children most in need this holiday season.

Our annual Holiday Gift Drive—which provides gifts to nearly 1,000 kids in foster care, homeless shelters, and protective and preventive services—is being extended until next Monday, Dec. 19 because we have so many kids who still need your help this year.

Although we’ve collected more than 100 toys and filled more than 100 specific wish lists since Nov. 17, we still have hundreds of children in need, more than 60 specific wish lists still unfulfilled, and donations to our holiday fund are a fraction of those we’ve received in previous years.

These young people can really use a dose of happiness and deserve the same joy that every kid deserves at the holidays. Please help us make that a reality.

Now through Monday, Dec. 19 you can make a monetary donation to the Westchester Child Welfare Holiday Fund. You can make a check, made payable to the Fund, to Barbara Sabater, 112 East Post Road, Room 637, White Plains, New York 10601. Donations can also be made electronically by Zelle to the Zelle ID email WCDSSHolidayGiftDrive@gmail.com.

Drop boxes for new, unwrapped toys and other gifts will also remain at the Westchester

County Michaelian Office Building lobby, the lobby of the Department of Social Services central offices at 112 East Post Road in White Plains, as well as in the Department of Social Services District Offices in White Plains, Yonkers, Mount Vernon and Peekskill.

Please help us make sure these wonderful children don’t go without a happy holiday memory this season.

If you have any questions about donations or to help with a wish list contact Barbara Sabater at bms7@westchestergov.com or call 995-1937.

Nominations needed for county public health awards

The Westchester County Board of Health is now seeking nominations for the 2023 Public Health Service Awards. The board wants to recognize adults, young people and not-for-profit programs whose volunteer efforts have demonstrated creativity and compassion, and who helped improve public health in Westchester.

The Board encourages community leaders, healthcare professionals, educators and residents to nominate worthy people or programs by Jan. 9, using the nomination forms on the Health Department website.

“Busy teenagers, adults and organizations have extended a hand to our community in innovative ways these past few years,” said Dr. Robert Baker, president of the Westchester County Board of Health. “The Board would like to acknowledge the extraordinary people and programs who have given so much to Westchester this past year. We hope their example of selfless volunteerism inspires others to help us promote and protect public health in our County.”

The Dr. Harold Keltz Distinguished Public Health Service Award is presented annually to a person or community-based organization, whose efforts have made an extraordinary contribution to the public health of Westchester residents, but who is not professionally engaged in public health work.

The J.R. Tesone Youth Public Health Service Award is an annual award to a student up to age 21 for his or her creative contribution to public health in Westchester. The award was created in 2014 in memory of J.R. Tesone, a Board of Health member with a lifelong commitment to Westchester County children.

The awards will be announced and presented in April to spotlight National Public Health Week, and the honorees and their achievements will be featured on the Health Department’s web pages. Last year’s youth winners coached seniors on technology use, registered homebound seniors for COVID-19 vaccines and supported youth mental health. Recent youth winners have delivered meals and other COVID-19 relief to first responders and families; promoted youth awareness of the dangers of vaping; advocated for restrictions on tobacco sales; promoted awareness of the opioid crisis; increased sustainability and Earth Day programming; advocated for children affected by cancer and created an app to foster communication between teens with Type 1 diabetes.

An organization was recognized last year for its breathing, mindfulness and movement program to reduce stress, and an adult nurse was recognized for providing free skin, nail and foot care to seniors and the unhoused. Previously, adult volunteers were recognized for raising thousands of dollars and distributing PPE and meals to first responders and families with COVID-19, and for providing food, cash and case management to new immigrants affected by the pandemic.

Previous awards were given for promoting awareness of mental health and addiction among young people, promoting the construction and preservation of affordable housing, and advocating for comprehensive mental health care for low-income residents. Non-profit programs also have been selected for their work to reduce health disparities, improve health literacy, and improve access to care.

Con Edison urging customers to conserve during winter of high nationwide energy costs

Con Edison reminds customers to conserve energy with winter starting this month and energy costs running higher than a year ago.

Con Edison recognizes that high energy costs are a hardship for consumers across the United States, including in the New York region, and wants to help customers manage their bills during the winter heating season.

The company offers energy-saving tips and payment assistance options, including levelized billing, which smooths out a customer’s costs out throughout the year. The company encourages customers to check out its energy efficiency incentives.

The company also offers help for customers who are struggling with their bills. Con Edison offers payment plans, so that customers can pay off arrears over time, rather than all at once.

Con Edison buys natural gas and electricity on the wholesale markets and uses a variety of strategies to stabilize pricing for customers. The company does not set supply costs and does not make a profit on the supply. But Con Edison takes steps to keep energy bills as low as possible. Those steps include locking in energy prices when energy is cheaper.

Con Edison notes that energy costs can change quickly due to international events, economic trends, weather and other factors. The company will continue to refine its winter pricing forecast.

Projections

The company currently projects that its average residential natural gas heating customer using an average of 165 therms per month will pay an average of $418.77 a month from November 2022 through March 2023. That’s 20.5 percent more than the average bill of $347.53 a year earlier.

Supply costs will account for $50.01 of that $71.24 increase, while delivery charges will account for $21.23, under the company’s projections.

Higher natural gas prices also affect the cost of electricity, since power generation plants in the New York City region run mainly on natural gas.

-A New York City residential customer using 300 kilowatt hours a month from November through March will pay about $110.62, a 16.3 percent increase over the $95.11 in the same period last winter.

-A Westchester County residential customer using 600 kilowatt hours a month will have an average bill of $180.22, a 12.6 percent increase over last winter’s $160.00, based on the company’s latest estimates.

-For a small commercial customer using 583 kilowatt hours per month, November-to-March bills are projected to rise $32.64, or 16.9 percent, from

$193.64 last winter to $226.28.

-A larger commercial customer using 10,800 kilowatt hours per month with a peak demand of 31 kilowatts will see an increase of $513.11, or 20.3 percent from $2,523.85 to $3,036.96.

December bills

In the more immediate term, the company expects a typical New York City residential customer to have a December electric bill 43% higher than in December 2021. The gas heating bill for that customer will be 20% higher, according to the company’s projections.

-A typical NYC small to medium business customer can expect a 48% higher electric bill and a 19% higher gas heating bill than last December.

-A typical NYC large business customer can expect a 63% higher electric bill and a 21 percent higher gas heating bill than last December.

-A typical Westchester County residential customer can expect a December electric bill 16 percent higher than a year earlier and a gas heating bill 15% higher.

-A typical Westchester small to medium business customer can expect an 18% higher electric bill and a 19% higher gas heating bill than last December.

-A typical Westchester large business customer can expect a 19% higher electric bill and a 21 higher gas heating bill than last December.

-The best strategy for Con Edison’s 3.5 million customers is to carefully manage their usage.

Customers can save money on energy by using these tips:

• Set thermostats at the lowest comfortable temperature. Each degree lower decreases heating costs.

• Make sure heating vents are not blocked by

furniture, carpeting or anything else that could obstruct the flow of heat.

• Have a qualified contractor clean and inspect heating systems.

• Insulate hot-water pipes and warm-air ducts that pass through unheated areas. Clean or replace filters for the hot-air furnace and heat-pump.

• Swap out window shades seasonally. Light-colored window coverings reflect the sun’s energy, while darker ones absorb it and release heat.

• Replace conventional light bulbs with LED bulbs, which are up to 10 times more efficient, and are widely available and affordable.

Con Edison is also implementing the New York State Electric and Gas Bill Relief Program, which the company helped design and propose.

Under that program, residential customers who receive qualifying government assistance will receive a bill credit on their past-due balance for service through May 1, 2022. Customers must enroll in Con Edison’s Energy Affordability or received benefits under New York state’s Emergency Rental Assistance Program or the Home Energy Assistance Program-Regular Arrears Supplement program. Enrollment ends Dec. 31, 2022.

For customers who are enrolled in Con Edison’s Energy Affordability program or received Emergency Rental Assistance Program or Home Energy Assistance Program-Regular Arrears Supplement benefits, bill credits will be processed automatically. In addition, service will not be suspended for non-payment while credits are being processed.

Customers who receive benefits from certain government programs may qualify for discounts on their monthly energy bills. Con Edison offers information on these and other forms of assistance.

White Plains Hospital named one of best in nation

White Plains Hospital has once again been named a Top General Hospital by the Leapfrog Group. This is the third consecutive year the Hospital has been recognized as one of the highest-performing hospitals in the nation—making it one of 115 in the United States and one of just two hospitals in New York state to receive this distinction.

According to the Leapfrog Group, Top Hospitals have higher quality maternity care, lower infection rates, and better systems in place to prevent medication errors, among other laudable qualities. To be eligible for consideration, Hospitals must meet the high standards defined in the Top Hospital Methodology, including receiving an “A” in the most recent round of Leapfrog’s Hospital Safety Grade. White Plains Hospital has re-

ceived 8 consecutive “A’s,” including the most recent ranking in November.

“We are extremely proud to be consistently named among the top hospitals in the country,” said Dr. Rafael Torres, chief quality officer at White Plains Hospital. “This accolade validates our commitment to providing patients with quality care, and serves as another testament to the dedication of our entire staff to the highest patient outcomes.”

Recognition as a Leapfrog Top Hospital is the latest award for high-quality care that White Plains Hospital has received this year. In July, it became one of just eight hospitals in New York state to receive a five-star quality rating from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, CMS—the highest distinction offered by that federal agency.

White Plains Hospital has once again been named a Top General Hospital by the Leapfrog Group.

Rye Y launches new nursery school program in Mamaroneck

The Rye YMCA, a leading provider of child care in the Sound Shore area, will open a new nursery school program at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Mamaroneck in mid-January 2023. Registration is now open.

With classrooms for toddlers (ages 1835 months) and pre-school-age children (3-5 years old), the program will offer a choice of morning or afternoon sessions with three, four or five-day options. Children will learn foundational skills, develop healthy relationships, and build self-reliance through activities such as music, literacy, movement, STEM, sports, art and cooking.

“Providing safe, affordable and nurturing child care is central to the Y’s mission,” said Kathy Lynam, senior director for Family, Camp and Child Care. “By partnering with St. John’s to offer nursery school, we can give even more families access to this critically-needed service.”

The new program will join the Y’s existing child care offerings, including Pre-School Enrichment, summer camp and After School Adventures, which is now offered at both the Rye Y and at F.E. Bellows Elementary School. As with all Y programs, no one will be turned away due to an inability to pay. Thanks to individual donors, foundations, and local businesses, program subsidies are available for those in need through the Y Cares Financial Assistance Program.

For over 108 years, the Rye YMCA has been a vibrant community hub, serving individuals and families from Rye, Harrison, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, Rye Brook, Port Chester and beyond. For more information about the Rye Y’s child care programs, including the nursery school at St. John’s Church, visit www.ryeymca.org/childcare or contact Kathy Lynam at kathy@ryeymca. org.

Gillibrand joins food security advocates to package food for kids ahead of the holidays

On Monday, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand joined food bank executives at Feeding Westchester to package food for students ahead of the holidays.

Karen Erren, president and CEO of Feeding Westchester, helped Gillibrand pack breakfast bags for students dealing with food insecurity. Feeding Westchester provides food for 71,000 children in need each month through partnerships with local schools, daycares, libraries, and other organizations. Children receive nutritious, kid-friendly, easy-to-prepare food, when otherwise they may go without.

“With the cost of food and other necessities skyrocketing, we must work with local partners like Feeding Westchester to address food insecurity across the state,” said Gillibrand. “I’ll keep fighting in Congress to make sure every child in New York always knows where their next meal is coming from.”

Gillibrand, a long-standing advocate

for child nutrition programs, helped pass the Keep Kids Fed Act, which allowed schools and summer meal providers to continue serving free meals, to extend meal delivery and grab-and-go options, to ease paperwork requirements, and to provide funding to help schools offset the increased cost of food and operating expenses.

Gillibrand has also laid out additional proposals to fight food insecurity, including More Options to Develop and Enhance Remote Nutrition in WIC Act, which would enable women and children to certify for WIC benefits remotely, greatly easing the process. Her bipartisan Summer Meals Act would expand eligibility for free meals to more students in low-income areas and improve nutrition in rural, underserved, and hard-to-reach areas. Gillibrand is also pushing to fully fund the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, WIC, program for fiscal year 2023.

Take a stand against the flavored tobacco products, including menthol, which make it so easy to start and so hard to quit.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand joins executives at Feeding Westchester on Monday, Dec. 12 to package food in time for the holidays.

Season’s Greetings

The holiday season is here, and along with all that entails—included a weeklong break from school for our students and teachers—it also means a return for one of the great times on the sporting calendar; tournament season.

The beginning of every winter campaign is always an interesting one, schedule-wise, as teams from all over the area rush to put on their own holiday tournaments, creating a confusing—yet exciting—array of matchups. These tournaments range from long-running events that have been in existence for half a century to more recently-established showcases that have popped up over the last five years or so, but there are common features found in each; namely exciting matchups played in front of lively gyms.

So far, I’ve caught my fair share of these seasonally-flavored games. From Eastchester’s Holiday

Tournament two weeks back, to last week’s Harry Jefferson Showcase in White Plains, to upcoming contests set to kick off in Harrison and Mamaroneck, I’ve seen my fair share of intriguing matchups played in front of rowdy fans, something that—without said tournaments— might be otherwise rare in the first two weeks of the season.

For many teams, playing in a December tournament might be the closest they get to seeing what a real playoff atmosphere feels like. At the end of the day, the stakes might not be huge, as a tournament win doesn’t count for more than any other regular season victor, but it feels larger by dint of communities coming together for the holidays.

At the very least, it’s a little big of excitement in what would otherwise be an early slog. The bulk of league play—the true meat-and-potatoes of the regular season— doesn’t start until January, which can make out-of-conference games in December seem superfluous. But these tournament matchups, while sometimes featuring league

games in their own right, have a little extra juice not generally seen at this point on the calendar.

So regardless of where your team is headed this weekend, let’s enjoy the last few days of tournament season. When we come

back in January, it will be time to think about postseason seedings and rivalry matchups, but for now, let’s just be thankful that we get to spend some time in the gyms, cheering on our local athletes as they get to showcase their skills.

They’ll be plenty of time for “big stakes’ excitement down the road. But right now, I’m just focusing on seasonal cheer and hoops.

Tigers roar in season opener

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

The Mamaroneck basketball team kicked off its winter season in high style on Friday night, topping Harrison 73-54 in the annual Harry Jefferson Showcase at White Plains High School. And while it may not have been the most complete game they will play this year, their showing against the Huskies proved just how dangerous the Tigers can be when everything starts to click.

After a back-and-forth first half that saw the Tigers head into the intermission with a 27-23, Mamaroneck turned things around in the third quarter, opening a 17-point cushion against the Huskies. Mamaroneck coach Tyrone Carver credited Harrison with a their play early on, but pointed out that once his squad was able to apply more defen -

sive pressure in the second half, things began to fall into place.

Aidan Roy—who has named the game’s MVP with 17 points and six assists—also had five steals to spark the Tigers on the defensive end.

“I have to give all the credit to Harrison, they came out tough,” said Mamaroneck coach Tyrone Carver Jr. “But in the third

quarter, I felt we started to settle in and begin playing our game, which is creating points off of our defense.”

In addition to Roy’s 17 points, fellow senior Ethan Glassman poured in 17 of his own. The Tigers also got big contributions from freshmen Will Plunkett and Brandon Burrell who both had nine points.

“We’re missing a few guys who are out with

injuries right now, but in the meantime we’re just working hard to be the best that we can be,” said Carver. “It was nice to see some of the new guys come up big and I’m looking forward to seeing them build off of that.”

Harrison was led by Joe Gjokaj, who had 15 points and Matthew McCoy, who scored 10.

The Huskies will be back in action on Dec. 15, when

they host league rival Eastchester. Mamaroneck will take on Peekskill on Dec. 13, after press time, before hosting its annual Tiger Tourney this weekend.

As the Tigers move through the season, Carver said they are looking forward to getting some of their injured players back as well as the continued development of his underclassmen as well up players like

Cosmo Hardinson (who had six points on Friday) and Jason Cox, who returned to the program after focusing on football for the last three seasons.

“We’ve got to continue to work hard,” he said. “But without a doubt, over the last two years this has been a special group.”
