Latimer pushes Property Taxpayers Protection Act

County introduces Building Energy Benchmarking Policy Furthering his commitment to energy conservation and sustainability throughout Westchester, County Executive George Latimer has proposed the Westchester County Energy Benchmarking Policy. The policy would enable the county to apply for clean energy project grants from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, NYSERDA, in order to build more cost-effective, environmentally friendly municipal buildings. This is the first time Westchester would be collecting, report-

ing and sharing building energy data among municipal officials and the public, in order to make smarter, greener decisions about our buildings and energy use. “Buildings are the single largest user of energy in Westchester County,” Latimer said. “Typically, our poorest performing buildings are using several times the amount of energy as our highest performing buildings—for the exact same building use. Adopting the Energy Benchmarking Policy will allow us to research and compare our municipal buildings’ performance to

similar buildings nationwide, and use that information to make continuous improvements towards energy efficiency.” In order to become eligible for certain clean energy funds from NYSERDA, Westchester needed to meet specific requirements under its Clean Energy Communities Program. The enactment of the Westchester County Energy Benchmarking Policy is another one of those requirements. “This administration is taking an aggressive path to minimize our greenhouse gas emissions and the first step on that path is to as-

sess where we are with our energy usage, good and bad,” said Peter McCartt, county director of energy conservation and sustainability. “Even though we are one of the greenest counties in the state and have many initiatives in process including our newly formed Climate Crisis Task Force, we can’t set a comprehensive plan to be even better without knowing exactly where to direct our finite resources.” If approved by the county Board of Legislators, the act would go into effect immediately. (Submitted)

Focused on taking the burden off Westchester County property taxpayers and combating the loss of the federal SALT deduction, County Executive George Latimer is calling for the passage of the Westchester County Property Taxpayers Protection Act. The act would allow for freezing property taxes for the next two years, Fiscal Year 2020 and Fiscal Year 2021; allocate 30 percent of new revenues to local governments and school districts to assist their budgets and tax relief efforts; ensure an annual increase in the county’s reserve fund, as well as end reliance on one-shot revenues and borrowing for operating costs; and create sales tax parity across all of Westchester’s communities, bringing the rate in line with other counties including Rockland and Putnam, and other cities including White Plains, Mount Vernon and New Rochelle. The new countywide standard rate of 8 3/8 percent would still be lower than that in effect in Yonkers, New York City, Nassau and Suffolk counties. The additional 1 percent in sales tax is estimated to bring in about $140 million a year in new revenue, 20 percent of which will be shared with the local municipalities and 10 percent with the school districts. In exchange for this act, Latimer has committed to maintain the county property tax levy for FY 2020 and 2021 at the same level as this year, FY 2019. This tax freeze will help address

the expected increases for many residents and taxpayers from the new Federal Tax Plan, which eliminates all but $10,000 in state and local tax exemptions, SALT. “This is about generating revenue without raising property taxes, by reaching sales tax rate parity,” Latimer said. “Westchester cannot meet its annual financial obligations in the years to come without steady new revenue; this position has been affirmed by the State Comptroller’s Audit of the county, and the three bond rating agencies that assess creditworthiness for governments. We will fall into State Fiscal Control, with our bond rating dropping further. Anyone who tells you otherwise is simply not telling you the truth. Further, Westchester cannot raise property taxes at any significant level over the next few years—we have reached a saturation point, given school and local taxes as well. As Governor Cuomo has said, and fought against at the federal level, the loss of the full SALT exemption will be hitting our property taxpayers hard. In my first year, we kept our property tax levy increase below neighboring counties such as Rockland and Putnam, but even this level is unsustainable. We need non-property tax revenue to deliver our services – most of which is mandated by the State of New York. The plan TAX continued on page 11

County federal homeless funding increases by $900K Westchester County Executive George Latimer announced today that the county has secured an increase in federal funding for addressing homelessness through the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD. The funds, allocated through Westchester County’s Departments of Social Services, DSS, Community Mental Health, DCMH, and other municipal partners, will serve to enhance coordination and access for those lacking housing, ultimately reducing the amount of time individuals and families spend without permanent shelter. These federal funds were secured with the assistance of Rep. Nita Lowey, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee. DSS will receive additional funding for three programs— First Steps, RISE and Coordinated Entry. The increased funds total $916,000, in addition to the annual renewal of HUD housing funds, totaling $14.7 million. For 2019, the total federal funds supporting 14 housing initiatives in Westchester will surpass $15.6 million. The three expanded DSS pro-

grams provide the following: • First Steps is a program geared toward homeless youth, aged 18 to 24. It allows young people who have become “disconnected” from school, family and work to get a job, combined with receiving whatever services they need to become fully functioning and self-sufficient adults in their own home. • RISE, Rehousing in Supportive Environments, is a collaborative effort between Westchester County DSS and Caring for the Homeless of Peekskill, CHOP. The program is to provide eight Transitional and 16 Rapid Rehousing units across Westchester County. It will also include integrated services contracted through a number of local social services agencies, with the goal of providing comprehensive trauma-informed care for victims of domestic violence and their families. • An expanded Coordinated Entry Program to assess the needs of homeless individuals and families and connect them to rapid re-housing and permanent housing programs. DCMH oversees the Continu-

um of Care, CoC, Planning Project, which serves to plan for and coordinate housing for homeless individuals throughout the county. The CoC Partnership for the Homeless links the network of providers, landlords, shelters and drop-in centers, in an effort to ensure access to safe and secure housing for Westchester residents who are experiencing homelessness. “I am pleased to announce this federal funding for our departments of Social Services and Community Mental Health, to advance efforts to end homelessness throughout Westchester,” Latimer said. “This new, critical funding totals nearly $1 million, and Westchester County was also awarded renewals for programs that serve the chronically homeless, youth, individuals with physical, mental health and substance abuse service needs, and those who are victims of domestic violence. Because these grants, some of the most vulnerable people in Westchester County will have a place to live that is safe, affordable and appropriate to their needs. (Submitted)

County Department of Probation to hold career expo Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Rocco Pozzi, the commissioner of the Department of Probation, are pleased to announce the first county Probation Career Expo. The Expo, which is scheduled for March 1 at the Westchester County Courthouse Jurors Lounge, is designed to expose probationers 16 years or older to potential employers, training specialists and other employment-related services. The Probation Department designed the expo for probationers who are unemployed, seeking new higher-paying jobs, or looking to explore a new career path. The career expo is just one of the

many programs provided by the department, in an effort to rehabilitate and guide probationers to become productive members of society. “The county’s probationers are an untapped resource for Westchester’s workforce,” Latimer said. “The career expo is the perfect opportunity for individuals to build self-esteem, learn about valuable employment resources, and discover new ways to better themselves for reintegration into society.” Pozzi added, “We recognize the importance of being able to obtain employment and become self-sufficient, which contrib-

utes to improved self-esteem and law abiding behavior. Any assistance the Probation Department can provide to help individuals placed in our care to achieve these goals is our responsibility.” In the weeks leading up to the expo, members of the Probation Department’s Services Unit will assist individuals with resume building, and conduct workshops to improve interview skills. Cognitive life skills will also be addressed to assist in developing better decision-making skills. For more information about the expo, contact the county Department of Probation at 995-3529.

Stepinac will stage high school premiere of A‘ Bronx Tale’ Stepinac High School’s acclaimed Stepinac Theatre will make history this spring by presenting the National High School premiere of the Broadway smash hit musical, “A Bronx Tale.” This is the second National High School premiere for the theatre program following 2015’s critically acclaimed “Billy Elliot,” the musical. The opening night performance of the spring musical, “A

Bronx Tale,” will be staged at Stepinac High School’s Major Bowes Auditorium, located at 950 Mamaroneck Road, at 7:30 p.m., on Friday, May 3, with four additional performances scheduled for 7:30 p.m., Saturday, May 4; Friday and Saturday, May 10 and 11; and a special Mother’s Day matinee at 2 p.m., Sunday, May 12. Based on the critically acclaimed play that inspired the

classic film, “A Bronx Tale” is now a musical set on the stoops of the Bronx in the 1960s, where a young man, Calogero Anello, is caught between the father he loves and the mob boss he’d love to be. The Broadway musical version of “A Bronx Tale” was created by a who’s who of talents of the stage and screen. It was directed by two-time Academy Award-winner Robert De Niro

and four-time Tony Award-winner Jerry Zaks and the book was written by Academy Award nominee Chazz Palminteri, whose experience growing up in the Bronx inspired him to write the original play. The songs were composed by eight-time Academy Award winner and Westchester resident Alan Menken and threetime Tony Award nominee Glenn Slater. And Tony nominee Sergio Trujillo staged the choreography. Frank Portanova, Class of ’93, who will direct Stepinac Theatre’s production of “A Bronx

Tale,” said, “The Stepinac Theatre program and the entire Stepinac community are honored and thrilled to be the first high school theater arts program in the nation to present ‘A Bronx Tale.’ ‘Bronx Tale’ is a show about choices. Like Calogero, our students often face the same temptations from a culture that values expediency over hard work; a culture that seduces with promises of power and wealth; and a culture that celebrates lawlessness over justice.” A Bronx Tale” will be pro-

duced by Keith Sunderland (Class of ’94). Details of the cast members will be announced later. Since 1949, Stepinac Theatre has won critical acclaim for its productions of spring musicals and fall dramas. Among the notable alumni whose talents were shaped by Stepinac’s theatre arts program are Academy Award winner Jon Voight and Emmy-Award winner Alan Alda. Reserved seat ticket prices are $22 for adults and $18 for seniors and children under 12. To order tickets and more information, call 946-4800, ext. 200, or email theatre@ stepinac.org. (Submitted)

n Wednesday, Feb. 13, a new gallery exhibit, called res*o*nance, the power to evoke enduring images, memories and emotions, was unveiled at bizG87 gallery. More than 200 people attended the opening that night to view the art created by three new local female artists: Sally Maca, Maureen Meehan and Sandra Wong Geroux. Providing a view of res*on*ance from each of the artists perspectives and mediums, the exhibit includes original modern art paintings, still landscape paintings and photographic portraits. “The response to the exhibit has been overwhelming,” Meehan said. “A lot of thought went into curating an exhibit that highlighted each of our unique talents and perspectives but that provided a combined view of how an image can resonate within an individual.” It was about a year ago that Meehan confirmed a group exhibit with Sarah Mackay of BizG87 for a 2019 exhibit with the contingency she find two other artists. Being particular about whose work would be next to hers—she reached out to her talented photographer friend Wong Geroux. Wong Geroux sent a long list of women painters working in the area and Meehan went through website after website until she found Maca. Meehan knew those were the paintings she wanted living alongside hers. “I just cold called her. I don’t know

what she thought. She’s a different energy than me and was thoughtful about it. She said she wasn’t sure and would like to meet first. We met at my house looked at one another’s work and decided to go see an O’Keefe show,” Meehan said. “I think in that first meeting I asked her—‘OK, you are going to do this right?’ and my recollection is she may have still had some reservations.” Here’s what I knew, I had spent 35 years painting and teaching and I knew that what Sally’s eye sees resonates with what my eye sees and that is not common with artists. We had our second afternoon together at the Botanical Gardens…We talked about other painters and nothing felt right when one of us said Sandra. Sandra is who we want in this with us, Sandra’s photographs resonate for us. Sandra said yes and we were off to the races. It was inspiring to work with other women, for a common goal, with no competition or ego running things. I think the end result really demonstrates how our art resonates together.” All three artists live and work in Larchmont. The exhibit will be on display through April 19 at the bizG87 Gallery. The gallery is located at 1987 Palmer Ave., in Larchmont and is open Wednesday to Friday 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Submitted)

Westchester Youth Bureau observes teen dating violence In observance of National Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month, the Westchester County Youth Bureau is raising awareness about teen dating violence and the importance of healthy relationships through several professional development trainings and programs. Research suggests that teen dating violence takes on many forms, including physical, sexual, emotional or psychological. Electronic teen dating violence has become more evident, given social media platforms and text messaging. According to the Centers for Disease Control, CDC, in 2017, 8 percent of high school students who reported dating in the past year experienced physical violence from their partner, and approximately 7 percent reported being sexually abused by their partner. “Teen dating violence cannot be glossed over or left unaddressed,” Latimer said. “Not only do young victims of dating violence have an increased likelihood of experiencing anxiety and depression, but they are also at risk of engaging in harmful behaviors that include alcohol and drug use. We appreciate the partnerships between the organizations who are collaborating with the Youth Bureau, to ensure the safety and prosperity of our youth.” This week, the Youth Bureau’s staff received three days

of intense training from the Dibble Institute on the characteristics of healthy and unhealthy dating relationships, and evidenced-based strategies to Teen Dating Violence. As part of a new federal Sexual Risk Avoidance Education grant received by the county Youth Bureau, the county along with local youth bureaus from the cities of Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains and Yonkers, will become certified trainers on two curriculums, Love Notes and Relationship Smarts, which will be delivered to 200 youth over the next six months. The training was held on the campus of Saint Christopher’s Jennie Clarkson campus in Valhalla. “Although the reality of why there is a national observance for Teen Dating Violence Awareness may be uncomfortable, we know that prevention strategies and education on these topics have the potential to stop violence before it starts,” said Dr. DaMia Harris-Madden, executive director of the county Youth Bureau. “We are seizing the opportunity to increase awareness, educate our children and parents on the warning signs of abuse, and steer residents to the appropriate services.” On Feb. 27, at the Greenburgh Public Library, the Bureau will offer “Successful Behavior Intervention and Crisis

Reduction: Turning Conflict into Teachable Moments,” a free workshop conducted by Wendy VanBuren, to equip service providers with trauma-informed conflict resolution strategies that may be used to prevent unsafe relationships. The event is free, but participants are encouraged to call the county Youth Bureau at 9952745 to register. The Youth Bureau is spotlighting My Sisters’ Place, a leading agency within the county that addresses Teen Dating Violence. Through Invest in Kids funding, My Sister’s Place offers services and support through the REAL Program for Tweens and Teens. (Submitted)

B&N launches “My Favorite Teacher Contest”

Barnes & Noble Eastchester recently launched of the 2019 “Barnes & Noble My Favorite Teacher Contest,” which provides high school students with the opportunity to share their appreciation for their teachers with their local communities.

Barnes & Noble Eastchester announced the launch of the 2019 “Barnes & Noble My Favorite Teacher Contest,” which provides high school students with the opportunity to share their appreciation for their teachers with their local communities. Now in its ninth year, the contest launched on Valentine’s Day to give students the opportunity to show love and appreciation to their teachers. High school students can nominate K-12 teachers through March 14, by writing essays, poems or thank-you letters detailing how much their teachers have impacted their lives and why they appreciate them. Entries will be collected online only at bn.com/ myfavoriteteacher, and will be judged on the compelling nature of the teacher’s inspiring qualities, the sincerity of the student’s appreciation and the quality of expression and writing. Only high school students 14 or older at the time of entry and active teachers employed by elementary, middle or high schools in the

U.S. are eligible to win. The “Barnes & Noble National Teacher of the Year” will receive $5,000, and their school will receive an additional $5,000. The award recipient will also be recognized at a special community celebration at their local Barnes & Noble store. The student who writes the national winning essay, poem or thank-you letter will win a $100 Barnes & Noble Gift Card. Last year’s winner, Lem Andrews, a post-secondary advisor from Booker High School in Sarasota, Florida, who was nominated by former student Ellen Bausback, said, “It’s truly an honor to be recognized by Barnes & Noble as Teacher of the Year. Out of the hundreds of students you work with, to have one that’s inspired enough to write something about you is a reward like no other.” Barnes & Noble Eastchester continuously displays its appreciation for educators everywhere through Educator Appreciation Days throughout the year that

provide educators with special discounts, personalized service, in-store events, book fairs, store tours for students and teachers and, since 2010, through the My Favorite Teacher Contest. High school students who want to participate must submit their entry to bn.com/myfavoriteteacher by 11:59 p.m. on March 14.

I have presented is prudent and plausible and avoids us undertaking further draconian service cuts, massive layoffs and irresponsible one-shot sell offs of assets.” Of the 70 percent that the county will collect, Latimer said there will be priority on rebuilding the county’s reserve fund. The goal is to grow it back to $150 million, up from the current $70 million. It is anticipated that the increase will satisfy the bond rating agencies, leading them, over time, to raise the county’s bond rating back to AAA. Additionally, as it currently stands the county will have a structural deficit in 2020 and 2021. It has been projected that if sales tax grows at 3 percent, and the county stays within the property tax cap the county will not be able to meet our operating expenses. Latimer said the additional revenue source will also eliminate the need for one-shot finance proposals, and end borrowing for any annual operating expenses. The town of Greenburgh will have an extra estimated $2.1 mil-

lion dollars a year. “I am glad to see Westchester County Executive George Latimer taking this lead with New York State,” said Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner. “Here in Greenburgh, I’m concerned property taxpayers are overburdened, and that the local housing market suffers. But, by spreading the weight over a much broader group of people with a 1 percent sales tax, property taxes can be kept low. This is a creative revenue source and I applaud the county executive’s efforts.” Mamaroneck Town Supervisor Nancy Seligson said the estimated $607,000 in extra revenue a year will go a long way for her town. “…Westchester needs to resolve a budget gap created by the previous county executive who refused to adequately fund county government by not raising taxes for eight years. A variety of efforts are required to raise much needed revenue. Westchester County currently has a lower sales tax rate than many other counties and cities.

All villages and towns will benefit from the increase and the cities will not be harmed.” Nearly $297,000 will be going to the village of Larchmont under the plan, Larchmont Mayor Lorraine Walsh said. “I fully support the county executive’s request for an increase in the county sales tax rate,” Walsh added. “Increased non-property tax revenue would help local governments meet their goal of staying under the tax cap, while maintaining or increasing the level of service provided to residents.” Harrison Mayor Ron Belmont said an extra $1.3 million, according to estimates, will help his community significantly. “Westchester County residents pay one of the highest property tax rates in the country while having one of the lowest sales tax rates in the state,” Belmont said. “I am confident that a small increase in sales tax will not only promote economic stability, but will bring us in to parity with other counties in our region.” (Submitted)

The next big thing LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

It’s been a common refrain among Major League Baseball players all off season; the system is broken, and it needs to be fixed. Much of the consternation and caterwauling coming from members of the Players Association centered on the fact that a number of high-profile free agents had not yet been signed, including the duo of Manny Machado and Bryce Harper, whose expected windfalls would set the tone for the rest of the players looking to cash in with a team. Earlier this week, Machado finally found a new home, signing with the San Diego Padres for 10 years and $300 million—not exactly following the narrative put forth by outspoken stars like Justin Verlander, who have all but accused team owners of colluding to keep free agent spending down. But just because these owners

may not be colluding, it doesn’t mean that there aren’t issues that should come up the next time players and teams negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. First things first, as much of a pro-player guy as I am, I never believed that team owners were in cahoots to deny our current crop of free agents a generous pay day. Baseball, like all things, is cyclical, and a new generation of front office executives is now in charge and learning from the mistakes made by their predecessors. In the early half of the century, 10-year deals were considered a smarter investment. Part of that had to do with players somehow not falling victim to advancing age the same way they did in say the 1970s. But if you look at those deals now, the ones given to players like Albert Pujols and Alex Rodriguez, you’d have to ask yourself—how likely is it that someone in the front office would make that same mistake again? Harper and Machado are both younger than Rodriguez and Pu-

jols were when they signed those deals, and locking a superstar up until his 36th birthday doesn’t sound as bad as paying a guy until he’s 43. Now that Machado has signed, setting the market, expect the rest of the free agents to fall into place. But there’s another issue I feel that front offices need to answer for, and unfortunately, it won’t be addressed the next time player representatives meet with league officials. For years, teams have taken advantage of service time rules to keep good, young players under team control longer. All it takes is holding a minor league prospect down in AA ball for a few weeks at the start of a season, and teams have themselves another whole year before the player becomes a free agent. Teams generally cite “player development” for not starting these potential stars with the Big League club, but it’s a dance that people know all too well. This year, there are no shortage of good young players who can make an immediate impact; Vlad Guererro Jr., Fernando Ta-

tis Jr., Elroy Jimenez are all players who could, and should be starting the season as Major Leaguers. But more often than not, we won’t see them until mid-May, which is a shame for fans of the Blue Jays, Padres and

White Sox, not to mention people who are waiting on tenterhooks for the next big thing. So if you’re going to be mad at the owners, don’t get upset because they haven’t signed a free agent. Be furious that the fu-

ture of baseball is being denied a chance to shine—at least for now—because of a couple of opportunistic pencil pushers.

Game Notes: • Sean Donnellan & Danny George both scored 11 for Eastchester • The Eagles started the game on a 13-2 run • Eastchester faces Albertus Magnus in the Class A first round on 2/20 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor In winner-takes-all contests, nothing is a recipe for success quite like a good start. On Feb. 15, the Eastchester Eagles hosted Nanuet in a Class A Outbracket game and wasted little time getting a jump on the Golden Knights, scoring 13 of the first 15 points and going on to top their visitors 60-51. If the No. 9 seed Eagles can maintain that focus, head coach Fred DiCarlo believes

played pretty good defense the entire way through.” Offensively, the Eagles were led by a well-rounded effort that has seemingly become the team’s calling card. Danny George and Sean Donnellan paced the home team with 11 points apiece, while Michael Zeolla finished with 10. Eastchester also outrebounded the Golden Knights by a healthy margin, spearheaded in part by the efforts of William Doyle (8 rebounds) and Anthony LeStrange (7 rebounds), which helped the Eagles limit their opponents’ second chance opportunities. Team depth has been an important factor for the Eagles this year, DiCarlo explained. “We’re playing 10 guys and we’re going to go with the guy who’s hot,” he said. “That guy might be playing more minutes than he did the day before, so scouting us is hard in terms of who you’re going to defend because we can all shoot the ball. And it works when we play together.” With the victory, the Eagles will earn the right to take on No. 4 Albertus Magnus, after Magnus topped Sleepy Hollow 50-38 in the outbracket game, led by

guards in the section and you can’t have that sort of record and not be good,” the coach said. “Every game now is a do-or-die, so we’ll watch some video and go from there.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
