County board backs state effort to keep rents affordable The Westchester County Board of Legislators is lending its support to measures pending in Albany to keep rents affordable in New York, and to protect renters from being pushed out of their homes when landlords want to raise rents. By a bipartisan vote of 141, on June 3, the board passed a resolution backing several state bills to extend and strengthen
rent control under the Emergency Tenant’s Protection Act, EPTA. Twenty-one municipalities in Westchester have opted into ETPA, which allows rent control on certain housing units. Among the changes being backed by the board is one that would end the practice that allows landlords to raise rents for rent-controlled apartments by as much as 20 percent when new

Twenty-one municipalities in Westchester have opted into ETPA, which allows rent control on certain housing units.
tenants move into units. Another would end the practice of “vacancy decontrol” of such apartments—which allows landlords to convert rent-stabilized units to market-rate units once the apartments have become vacant and the rent has hit a certain threshold. The board resolution also supports a measure to keep landlords from using the cost of major repairs to raise rents permanently. Rent increases could be used to pay for these repairs only until the actual repair costs are recouped. Another measure, unrelated to the ETPA, would prohibit evictions and non-renewals of leases without good cause. “Housing affordability is a crisis in our communities. We need to do what we can to keep rental housing available and affordable in order to help people stay in their homes; these bills do that,” said county Legislator Christopher Johnson, a co-sponsor of the resolution. “These state measures
will insure that most rent-controlled apartments stay rent-controlled, remove market incentives landlords have to push people out of apartments in order to raise rents, and they will make it impossible for people to be evicted just because a landlord wants to clear out an apartment just to raise the rent.” County Legislator Catherine Borgia, another co-sponsor of the resolution, said, “Housing costs continue to skyrocket and not just for homeowners. Renters, especially in our area, face an increasing burden, as more and more of their income has to go to rent. We whole-heartedly support the state’s effort to keep housing affordable by extending rent stabilization laws, and to protect tenants from imbalances in the current system that, without these changes, will continue to give landlords financial motives to move out long-standing tenants.” (Submitted)
Following the horrific May 31 shooting at a municipal building in Virginia Beach, Westchester County Executive George Latimer is directing county Department of Public Safety Commissioner Thomas Gleason to lead a review and evaluation of security measures and protocols at all Westchester County facilities. “What last week’s shooting shows us is that in these times, we must work to ensure we are doing everything we can to keep those in our facilities safe,” Latimer said. “This shooting occurred in a municipal building where residents are required to come in for various permits, receive paperwork, etc.—exactly like what occurs in municipal buildings in Westchester and nearly everywhere else around the Country.” Gleason added, “Our Department is committed to keeping Westchester residents and employees safe. We constantly review all real-world incidents that occur and update our security procedures and protocols in response if needed. We will be
conducting a similar assessment in the aftermath of the Virginia Beach tragedy.” Further, to honor the 12 victims of this horrific act of violence—many of whom were public servants who dedicated their lives to serving their community—Latimer has directed flags on Westchester County facilities be flown at half-staff. “These 12 innocent victims were everyday people who were just living their lives. This is not normal and this is not right,” Latimer said. “Our nation must act now to stop these senseless mass shootings, unless we want to see any trip to a public space become a potential nightmare.” In recent years, the county police have conducted Civilian Response to Active Shooter, CRASE, training for hundreds of county residents. CRASE training provides people with practical guidance to help them survive an active shooter event if one occurs in their workplace or other location where they are present. (Submitted)

The Westchester County Board of Legislators celebrated LGBTQ Pride Month on June 3 in a special ceremony that marked the 50th anniversary of the start of the modern LGBT civil rights movement, and honored local community leaders and institutions. The board’s ninth Pride celebration coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, when police action against the Stonewall Inn, a gathering place for gay men in Greenwich Village, galvanized the community and touched off the modern gay rights movement. Majority Leader Catherine Parker presented a proclamation to The LOFT LGBT Community Center, a pillar of the Westchester community for more than 35 years, furthering the cause of inclusion, diversity and pride through education, advocacy and celebration. Accepting on behalf of The
LOFT, Judy Troilo, executive director, said, “On the 50th anniversary of Stonewall we’re (also) reminded of, yes, how far we’ve come....but we still have a lot more work to do.” Noting in particular challenges currently faced by the transgender community, Troilo said, “We need to recognize that not only are we fighting to further our struggle for equality but we’re now trying to protect what we’ve already achieved.” Legislator Kitley Covill presented a proclamation to Ariana Luz Quiñones, coordinator of the Next Gen/Women’s and Research Education Fund and Racial Justice Coordinator for YWCA White Plains & Central Westchester. The White Plains-native remembered coming out to friends as a teenager at a movie theater near the location of the county board’s chambers. “Here I am, eight years later, receiving this
honor only two blocks away from there, never having imagined that anyone would celebrate me for being who I am, for being gay and gender non-conforming, for being someone who’s still figuring it out and trying to help others to do the same,” Quinones said. Legislator Terry Clements also presented a proclamation to Shepard Verbas, assistant director of Programs and Services at The LOFT. “The trailblazers and the shoulders that we stand on had the wisdom and the courage to turn their oppression into love, unity and momentum for change,” said Verbas, referencing the Stonewall Uprising. “Remembering that each of us hold the same power to love, educate, influence, affirm, inspire and support one another is how we truly celebrate pride for the LGBT community. May we let the past 50 years of our movement inspire the next 50 to come.” (Submitted)

By Andy Landorf & John Colquhoun
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.

Career, Technical Education students
present restored vehicle to Rye police
Students in teacher Paul Casagrande’s Auto Body & Detailing/ Collision class have begun rehabbing a Chevrolet Tahoe for official use by the Rye Police Department later this year. On Thursday, June 6 at 1:30 p.m., members of the Rye Police Department will be at the Southern Westchester BOCES Valhalla campus to retrieve the finished project. The collaboration between the Career Services program at Southern Westchester BOCES’ Valhalla campus and the Rye police is the latest in a string of such community partnerships for BOCES students. It came about after Principal James Matera and Rye Police Lt. Scott Craig attended the same school safety workshop offered by BOCES’s Center for Professional Development. According to Matera, such partnerships offer valuable learning opportunities as well as providing ways to support the local community and working with local police agencies has the added
benefit of providing positive interactions with law enforcement. “It’s always exciting to see our kids undertake a real-world-caliber project and deliver for their client, in this case the Rye Police. As the son of a police officer, it’s an added bonus for me to see a community partnership like this come together,” he said. The Police Department obtained the vehicle through a federal program that enables law enforcement agencies to acquire surplus military vehicles. The Tahoe will join the department’s auxiliary fleet when it is ready. The students will take care of body repairs and painting; the department will apply official identifying decals. Craig expressed appreciation for the BOCES students’ assistance and said he was impressed with their organization and knowledge. “My father was in the auto mechanics business for 50 years, and just walking into this shop I’m impressed with the tools, the
equipment, the paint booth. It’s a top-notch operation for a learning program,” Craig said. Students looked over the vehicle top to bottom, from turn signals to door locks, assessing the extent of the repairs required. “We were looking for rust, dents, mostly cosmetic stuff for now,” BOCES student Steve Davella said when the vehicle was first dropped off. Added Osvaldo Corona, a senior at New Rochelle High School, “I think it’s a great project for us to learn how to bring back an old truck like this.” Past community partnerships Southern Westchester BOCES’ students have undertaken include, renovating an antique fire truck for the Harrison Fire Department and restoring a vintage tractor for the Greenburgh Parks Department. They have also worked on a tug for the Westchester County police. “They learn together while working on a project that will benefit the community,” Casagrande said. (Submitted)

How we differ from the rest of the world BRONXVILLE TODAY Mayor Mary Marvin
While I was doing research for my Memorial Day speech on what unites America as a nation, I also uncovered very fascinating facts about what makes us united in our difference from much of the rest of the developed world. For good or for ill, we are indeed a breed apart literally starting with the basics of date, time and temperature. Along with Belize, Cayman Islands and Palau, we are the only nations left who register temperature on the Fahrenheit scale. We also promised that we would be on the metric system by 1980 but stayed with pints and quarts with Liberia and Myanmar the other two holdouts. Europeans write the date in the format Day/Month/Year unlike our Month/Day/Year and we often consider a week commencing from Sunday to Sunday while most of the world starts the new week on Monday. We also use a 12-hour clock with needed a.m. and p.m. tacked on while the rest of the world uses the International Standard 24-hour clock dating back to the Egyptians, which we only reserve for the military. As to lifestyle differences, not surprisingly, Americans marry more and divorce more and the concept of baby showers and bachelorette parties are considered odd customs around the world. When children arrive, Americans are truly perhaps the only people in the world who have taken the habit of using surnames as given names, and now even as first not just middle names. As to education, schools and universities are free for the most part in Europe with access to university considered a right. When they arrive at university,
students have learned a foreign language—a compulsory requirement since elementary school. Most Europeans have a decent command of two to four languages. In the job arena, Americans take the least amount of “time off” than any other country. As a result, and also taking into consideration that the EU is more than twice as small as the U.S., Europeans travel considerably more than Americans inside or outside their own continent. Unlike Americans, they do not do it in their cars. Europeans tend to think that driving 100km is a long way while, for us that’s an easy journey. Compared to our European counterparts, we are more religious and church going is still popular here while the practice in Europe has almost entirely disappeared, save for the elderly and special events such as Christmas. Almost all Europeans have cars with manual gears compared to our preference for automatic ones in cars that are larger, squarer with an appreciation for limousines and pick-up trucks. By contrast, Europeans like smaller, rounder cars quite possibly because small cars are easier to park in tightly packed historical towns where parking garages are anathema. As to bumper stickers on their cars, they are considered an interesting American phenomenon. In Europe, usage is virtually limited to a discreet “baby on board” or a regional flag. In a similar vein, giant billboards on highways in Europe are not only absent but illegal in many countries as considered too distracting. When you get home after parking street side, most of the world leaves their shoes at the door. Clearly on a hygienic and even logical basis, they are way ahead of us. I can’t imagine nor want to think of what we bring home after a day in NYC! As to politics, Europeans are
more liberal regarding soft drugs, prostitution, alcohol and abortion. In contrast, Americans grant greater freedom when it concerns gun possession and driving a car versus the Europeans norm which is 18 for the earliest license. As a result, while the U.S. is home to less than five percent of the world’s population, we have between 40 to 50 percent of civilian-owned guns. Patriotism as a concept is very American born. We are unique in playing the National Anthem at virtually every sporting event and flying flags on front porches. In a very curious departure, it is prohibited in most of Europe for military people or anyone with a professional military history to be a politician. As to our eating habits, we could emulate most of the world as they eat more varied and balanced meals, less fat and more yogurt. We consume, as a country, sweeter food and more soft drinks than virtually any other nation. We are also drowning in an abundance of consumption of high fructose corn syrup versus cane sugar, a sweetener more common worldwide. We eat all of this much earlier than the rest of the world where on average others eat between 8 and 10:30 p.m. (not sure they are getting up making the 6:40 express train?!) In the world of head scratchers, most of the world does not understand why we eat pizza via hand versus using a knife and fork. (Little did we know when Mayor DiBlasio was ridiculed at Grimaldi’s in Brooklyn, he was actually Continental) And in humorous finale, Europeans just don’t get why our public toilets have inch wide gaps around the door and they are extremely uncomfortable watching others walking by while in a stall. Again, just more reasons to celebrate our differences and our commonalities.

floor to donate blood and help replenish the region’s critically low blood levels. Nationally, more than 4.5 million Americans require a blood transfusion annually, with individuals needing blood every two seconds. As a token of appreciation, guests who take time out of their busy schedules to register and donate blood will each receive a $10 gift card to Dunkin’ Donuts. World Blood Donor Day provides an opportunity to raise awareness on the importance and need of regular blood donations. The American Red Cross currently has a critical shortage of type O blood, with less than a two-day supply available for emergency rooms. In addition, of the 37 percent of the total U.S. population eligible to donate blood, less than 10 percent actually donate. “The blood drive is just one of the many ways we can give back to the communities we serve,” said Uri Clinton, president and COO of Empire City Casino. “We felt it was imperative for us to do our part to help replenish the critically low blood levels and are honored to support such an important cause, especially on World Blood Donor Day.”
Anyone between the ages of 18 and 75, and weighing at least 110 pounds, is a potential donor. A photograph or signature ID must be presented at the time of donation. Prior to the blood donation, on-site specialists will check blood pressure, temperature, iron levels and pulse of all donors to ensure individuals are healthy enough to give blood. “The summer always presents a challenge to maintain blood inventories for all types of blood,” said Andrea Cefarelli, senior executive director of Recruitment and Marketing for NYBC. “With voluminous usage, community hospitals are frequently requesting the Core 4 blood types: 0-, 0+, A- and B-. The summer is the height of the ‘trauma season’ and the busiest time of the year for emergency rooms and trauma centers. Between people taking vacations and full-time academic students on summer break, there are fewer people available to donate blood. Please roll up your sleeves and donate.” To schedule an appointment to participate in the blood drive at Empire City Casino, please visit empirecitycasino.com/blooddrive. (Submitted)

New Jewish Home presents lecture on Dementia
On May 30, The New Jewish Home held its 20th Annual Stein Lecture on Dementia and Alzheimer’s at the Sarah Neuman Campus in Mamaroneck. The New Jewish Home is a comprehensive, mission-driven healthcare system serving older New Yorkers since 1848. Contributed photos
On Thursday, May 30, almost 100 Westchester residents braved the rain, wind and severe thunderstorms to attend The New Jewish Home’s 20th Annual Stein Lecture on Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease at the Sarah Neuman Campus in Mamaroneck. The New Jewish Home is a comprehensive, mission-driven healthcare system serving older New Yorkers since 1848. Keynote speaker Dr. Tia Powell, director of the Montefiore Einstein Center for Bioethics, was on hand to discuss her new book, “Dementia Reimagined: Building a Life of Joy and Dignity from Beginning to End,” and to deliver a critically important message: “Dementia is not only about loss—it’s also about the preservation of dignity and hope.” In his opening remarks, Dr. Jeffrey I. Farber, president and CEO of The New Jewish Home,
said, “Dementia is the disease that Americans fear the most. There is no cure. Here at The New Jewish Home we see how it impacts our residents and families. So, we focus on providing good care and comfort.” Farber added that both the Manhattan and Westchester campuses of The New Jewish Home have earned accreditation from Comfort Matters, a nationwide dementia care education and research program dedicated to improving the quality of care and life for people with dementia. Accreditation validates that an organization has taken extra steps to prepare for the care of persons with dementia. During her presentation, Powell noted that The New Jewish Home and Sarah Neuman have in place the best practices in dementia and Alzheimer’s care. The Stein Lecture on Dementia and Alzheimer’s is an annual
event for health care professionals and the general public that brings prominent experts in the field to The New Jewish Home’s Westchester campus to share their expertise in various aspects of dementia and Alzheimer’s. The lecture is sponsored by the Marion Stein Endowment Fund, which provides specialized training, services and programs for Sarah Neuman residents with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. The Fund was established with a major gift from the late Mrs. Alfred Slaner as a tribute to the late Marion Stein, an esteemed Sarah Neuman board member. Alzheimer’s disease is a health care crisis of unimaginable proportions. According to the Alzheimer’s Association, today there are 400,000 New Yorkers with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Sympathy for the Yankee LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Maybe I’m getting a little soft in my old age, because on Sunday night, I found myself feeling bad for a New York Yankee. Decades of Red Sox fandom have left me virtually remorseless when it comes to Yankee failures. In fact, I take a sort of gleeful pleasure in all of the franchise’s missteps—not that there have been many of those this year. But sometimes, humanity is stronger than simple rooting interests. In a game against my Red Sox—a game that Boston desperately needed to win—my team got a little help from Yankees’ right fielder Clint Frazier, who had an absolutely miserable game in the field. In fact, Frazier essentially handed the game to the Sox on a silver platter, making a trio of miscues in the outfield to stake Boston to a lead that
they wouldn’t relinquish. But while I should have been pumped for my squad to take the final game of the series from our hated rivals, I couldn’t help but sympathize with Frazier. In particular, Frazier’s dreadful seventh inning was tough to watch, as the relatively slow pace of the game gave ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball crew ample time to replay the youngster’s mistakes and discuss his ongoing defensive struggles at length. When all you want to do is climb under a rock, I can think of few less-forgiving places than a corner outfield spot at Yankee Stadium. Frazier’s not a good outfielder by any metrics you want to use. He’s more known as a promising young slugger who will need to develop his defensive game if he hopes to be an everyday player at some point in his career. And nights like Sunday won’t help his confidence. But it’s also the uncertain-
ty of Frazier’s future with the team that made his meltdown even tougher to watch. Sure, he’s playing now, but when the Yanks get their stars like Stanton and Judge back from the injured list, there doesn’t seem to be room for him on the 25-man roster, making him completely expendable. He’ll likely be traded or shipped back down to AAA Scranton/Wilks-Barre before too long. Watching the insecurities of a ballplayer play out in real time like that, it was a bit too much to handle, even for a Red Sox fan like me. And seeing him get pilloried on sports talk radio the following day for not talking to the media after the game—even though he did, in fact, speak with ESPN’s Coley Harvey— just felt like people were piling on. Improvements or not, Frazier’s probably not going to be wearing pinstripes for long. I just hope, wherever he ends up, that his difficulties this

year are an otherwise amusing footnote on a solid professional career.
That is, unless he stays in the Bronx. In that case, my sympathy has limits.
