READY FOR KICKOFF!
Hochul signs law addressing Indian Point
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation into law on Aug. 18, which is intended to protect the economic vitality of the Hudson River Region by restricting discharges of any radiological substance into the Hudson River in connection with the decommissioning of a nuclear power plant.
Next week, many New York State football teams will get their first taste of action with “Week Zero” games on the schedule. Several local teams will be suiting up to get the season underway. For more, see page. 16.
Bicycle Sundays return Sept. 10
Head back out to the Bronx River Parkway with us for more Bicycle Sundays, as the event returns, Sunday, Sept. 10 and will run through Oct. 1 for the season!
The last Sundays of the season in which Bicycle Sundays will take place are Sept. 10, 17 and 24 and Oct. 1. Hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “September Bicycle Sundays are a special time as it feels like an extended summer. I’m delighted to welcome cyclists, joggers and families back to the Bronx River Parkway for the fall installment of the 2023 series.”
Westchester County Parks Commissioner Kathy O’Connor said, “Just because summer’s over doesn’t mean it’s time to put away our bikes or running
shoes. I encourage folks to get out and ride or jog the Bronx River Parkway to keep moving well into the fall.”
Chairperson of the Westchester Parks Foundation (WPF), Seth Mandelbaum said, “Bicycle Sundays embodies the WPF mission to invest, advocate, and enhance all 50 Westchester County Parks. We thank NewYork-Presbyterian and Con Edison for their continued support of this iconic program and look forward to seeing everyone along the Bronx River Parkway this Fall.”
During Bicycle Sundays, a portion of the Bronx River Parkway is closed to cars from for the exclusive use of bicyclists, joggers, walkers, scooters and strollers. The course runs from the Westchester County Center in White Plains, south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers, a round-trip
of 13.1 miles. There are many points of entry and exit along the way.
Bicycle Sundays is presented by Westchester County Parks and sponsored by Westchester Parks Foundation and its partners, through generous donations from co-presenting sponsors NewYork-Presbyterian Westchester and Con Edison, with Jen’s Cycles in Yonkers as the official Bicycle Sponsor.
Westchester Parks Foundation is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit, philanthropic organization which provides private support to preserve the County’s Park system and improve the quality of life in our communities. Westchester Parks Foundation’s mission is to invest in, advocate for, and enhance the over 50 parks of the Westchester County Parks system. For more information, visithttp://www.thewpf.org
“The Hudson River is one of New York’s landmark natural treasures, and it’s critical we stand together to protect it for generations to come,” Hochul said. “My administration remains committed to protecting the economic vitality of the region and working closely with local communities who have advocated so passionately for this cause.”
The law aims to safeguard communities in New York’s Hudson Valley region. The Administration will continue to work closely with federal regulators, Holtec, local officials and the State’s Decommissioning Oversight Board to identify feasible and acceptable alternatives of wastewater disposal so that decommissioning Indian Point can continue, jobs can be preserved, and the site can be cleaned up in a safe, thorough, and prompt manner.
State Senator Pete Harckham said, “This historic, landmark law prevents the release of radioactive wastewater into the river and protects the robust economic vitality of the region. We stand ready to work with all stakeholders to find alternative
solutions to this challenge and to continue the timely and safe decommissioning of the Indian Point power plants.”
Representative Jamaal Bowman said, “Dumping 1 million gallons of radioactive water into a river with a basin home to more than 8 million people is never an option. Polluting facilities shouldn’t be allowed to run roughshod over the voices of our communities and push through waste disposal plans without their consent. I’m pleased that Governor Hochul is taking the action needed to protect New Yorkers by signing A7208/S6893 to ban decommissioned nuclear plants from dumping waste into the Hudson River. We must take every precaution when it comes to protecting the health of our communities and we must always put democracy over convenience.”
Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “Today marks a monumental stride forward in safeguarding our majestic Hudson River and the Hudson Valley region. I commend Governor Kathy Hochul for her leadership in signing this legislation, and I also thank Senator Pete Harckham and Assemblymember Dana Levenberg for introducing this vital measure. Today, we take a stand and shield the Hudson River from potential harm during Indian Point’s decommissioning – prioritizing the environment and human well-being above all other considerations.”

Maria Regina HS to celebrate new turf field
Maria Regina High School will celebrate the completion of its new, state-of-the-art athletic turf field during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at noon on Sunday, Sept. 17.
On hand to dedicate Maria Regina’s Sisters of the Resurrection Sports Complex— regarded by school officials as a game changer in the renowned all-girls Catholic high school’s mission to prepare young women for athletics at college— will be members of Maria Regina’s administration, board of trustees, alumnae, parents, current students, civic and community leaders, among others.
Supporters whose generosity made it possible to turn the complex’s vision into reality will be recognized as well as town of Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner and Council members who lent their support to the initiative. Work on the new turf field began nearly a year ago following a groundbreaking ceremony at the iconic, 65-yearold campus in Hartsdale.
Following the dedication, a varsity soccer game will be played on the new turf field in a match-up between the Maria Regina “Tigers” and Notre Dame School soccer teams. A barbecue and performances by
Maria Regina’s popular all-girls marching band and cheer team are also planned.
The new venue for outdoor competitive games will be home to Maria Regina’s soccer and softball teams as well as its newly formed flag-football team. In addition, the turf field boasts a “straight away” track and brand-new bleacher seating to comfortably accommodate fans who will cheer their Tigers home teams to victory.
Liz Pugsley, Athletic Director, said: “Our student athletes will now have the advantage of experiencing outstanding play conditions similar to what they will find when they go to college, adding: “The new turf field represents a significant improvement over the former field.”
She added: “Artificial turf has become integral to the current culture of high school athletics. This field allows us to compete with our strongest competitors, as the smooth, level surface enhances the speed and accuracy of our athletes and decreases the number of sports-related injuries.”
The creation of the Sisters of the Resurrection Sports Complex will also enable Maria Regina to broaden its physical education curriculum as well as enhance its
long-standing traditions including commencement ceremonies, pep rallies and field days.
The athletic field is the second major project that Maria Regina has undertaken over the past year as “part of our strategic long-range plan to assure Maria Regina
will continue to prepare young women for post-secondary success,” said Maria Carozza-McCaffrey (Class of ’99), Principal. Maria Regina also transformed a general use classroom into a new ADA-compliant, state-of-the-art, Eco-Conscious Environmental and Life Sciences learning space.

New Rochelle library director announces retirement
After 18 years of service, New Rochelle Public Library (NRPL) Director Tom Geoffino announced his retirement, effective the second quarter of 2024.
“My time in New Rochelle has been an amazing experience,” said Geoffino. “I have thoroughly embraced and enjoyed the opportunity to work with the staff, the Board of Trustees, as well as advocates like the New Rochelle Public Library Foundation and The Friends of the New Rochelle Public Library, our many community partners and the New Rochelle community. My tenure at NRPL has truly been the highlight of my long professional career.”
The library’s Board of Trustees will conduct a national search for the next director, with the support of an executive-level search firm, beginning this fall.
“The NRPL Board of Trustees is grateful for Tom’s 18 years of dedicated service to our community,” said NRPL Board of Trustees President Whitney Barrat. “NRPL has flourished under Tom’s leadership. He has successfully championed and won state grants to make significant changes and improvements to the facility. He has grown and nurtured an amazing staff that delivers exemplary customer service, diverse collections, innovative services, and extraordinary programs, year after year. Tom’s vision and tenacity, along with his patience, compassion, and unwavering commitment to help and serve all who come to our library, will be deeply missed. It has been a great honor to work alongside him.”
During Geoffino’s tenure, NRPL underwent a series of transformative renovations. Under Geoffino’s leadership, NRPL secured over $2 million in library state grants. The funds were used for major improvements and upgrades to both the main branch of the library and the Huguenot Children’s Library, including extensive renovations to the Ossie Davis Theater, the Main Library lobby and entryway, and 2nd and 3rd floors, including a new state-of-the-art Teen Room, expanded study rooms, laptop bars, and more. The Huguenot Children’s Library basement was fully renovated, and substantial infrastructure improvements were completed.
Geoffino successfully led the library through the pandemic by implementing online programs, expanding digital collections, boosting Wi-Fi connectivity in library adjacent outdoor spaces, and creating safe and convenient access to materials through
curbside pick up. Additionally, he established partnerships with public health providers to administer vaccines, test kits and masks in the library.
Tom’s vision over the years meant expanding and bringing new, innovative services to New Rochelle, including lending technology such as Chromebooks, iPads and Wi-Fi hotspots, expanding and maintaining virtual programming and digital offerings in response to the community’s changing needs, hiring a full time community outreach specialist to connect and assist the city’s most vulnerable residents to community resources, and expanding resources for non English speakers.
A distinguished librarian, Geoffino has held positions of increasing responsibility over the course of his career. Prior to joining NRPL, he served as town librarian for Fairfield, Connecticut from 1998-2006, following service as the deputy town librarian from 1994- 1998 and leadership positions in the Connecticut State Library from 1985-1994.
Geoffino holds a Master of Library Science from Southern Connecticut State University, an MA from Duquesne University, and a BA Cum Laude from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Rye Nature Center continues schools partnership
On Monday, Aug. 21, Champions for Quality Education and Inner-City Scholarship Fund celebrated their continued partnership with the Rye Nature Center in Westchester.
Five inner-city elementary schools within the Archdiocese of New York (ADNY)—Our Lady of Lourdes in Manhattan, Our Lady Queen of Angels in Manhattan, Mt. Carmel-Holy Rosary in Manhattan, St. Philip Neri in the Bronx, and Our Lady of Victory in Westchester—sent a total of 80 students to a free nature immersion camp at the Rye Nature Center from Aug. 21-25.
During the camp session, students explored nature that is often inaccessible in their neighborhoods. Specific activities included camping, bird watching, gardening and nature walks. Champions and Inner-City are excited to expand this partnership this year, as five high school students from ADNY high schools served as counselors to the younger students.
Mary and Tom Julian, longtime residents of Rye, have been the lead supporters and donors to this program. Mary started the partnership in 2008, when she learned that one of her sponsored Inner-City students was going to be spending his summer in a homeless shelter. She sponsored him and dozens of other Inner-City Scholarship Fund students to attend the camp.

Dear Mr. Fantasy
With the Mets and Yankees disappointing summers coming to an inevitable—and much anticipated—close, there’s not much for area sports fans to do except wait for the start to the NFL season. For most New Yorkers, that means counting the days until the Jets and Giants kick off their inevitable march towards mediocrity, but as someone who has gotten hip to the machinations of Big Blue and Gang Green, the thing I’m most looking forward to is fantasy football.
Which is odd, because as I’ve said before, I don’t much care for fantasy sports.
Taken in moderation, fantasy football can be a fun way to keep abreast of the NFL action for someone—like me—who isn’t glued to the RedZone Channel every Sunday. I may not have eyes
on every game, but at the very least, fantasy football allows me to stay plugged in just enough so that I have a relatively decent idea of trending players and topics of conversation.
On the flip side of the same coin, fantasy can also encourage an almost maniacal dedication to the sport, as I’ve seen with my own group of friends. I’ve seen it first-hand—otherwise rational, normal human beings turned into gridiron zombies every weekend, parked in front of multiple TV/laptop hookups, furiously scouring the rosters of their 10 fantasy team rosters to see if that five yard rush from a backup Seahawks running back got them a half-a-point on one of them.
That’s not the way I prefer to spend my Sundays, quite frankly.
But why I do love about fantasy football is the competitive, personal nature that it can take on. I’m not talking about the nebulous Draft-
Kings style setup that sees you fielding teams against a multitude of faceless opponents across the globe, I’m talking about the home-brew leagues that pit friends, family members and co-workers against each other, allowing for all the wonderful trashtalk and gloating that makes an otherwise vapid, empty exercise well-worth it.
One of the best days of my year—coming up on
Saturday—is when I get the chance to spend an entire day with the friends I’ve had since kindergarten, drafting our rosters for the upcoming season but more importantly, settling into the same routines and banter we’ve sustained for the last 30+ years.
Do I really care if Yahoo! Says that I overreached for a RB2 with a low ADP? Not really. But will I jump at the
opportunity to bring up the time my one buddy got sick into his trombone during a fifth grade band concert while he’s about to make his third-round pick? You bet I will!
And even if we’re only together for that one day—guys live all over and it’s hard to wrangle more than a few of them up at any one time— we’ve got a few months where we know the trash-
talking will fuel our otherwise dormant text chains.
I may not pore over the fantasy value sheets, I may not spend hours ranking my IDPs, but make no mistake. I still enjoy fantasy football. But for me—and others of a similar mindset—the football itself is secondary. Mostly, it’s about people.

With the NFL season kicking off next month, hordes of fantasy sports enthusiasts are preparing for their drafts. For many, Fantasy Football helps to connect old friends.
Football kicks off with Week Zero schedule
By MIKE SMITH Sports EditorOn August 19, scores of football teams across New York State hit the gridiron for their first summer practices in preparation for the upcoming fall campaign. But for several local teams, that campaign starts in the blink of an eye, as more and more programs opt to take the field in Week Zero games. With over 20 games featuring Section I teams on the docket for Sept. 1 and Sept. 2, this year’s Week Zero schedule is one of the more robust in recent memory with a number of exciting matchups that could set the stage for the season to come.
Perennial Class AA powerhouse New Rochelle will be one of the first teams to take the field this year, as they host the 2022 State Runners-up from the Newburgh Free Academy on Friday afternoon. This will be the second straight year the Huguenots and Goldbacks have squared off in the season-opener, with New Rochelle earning a 15-7 win over the Section IX power last September.
Once again, the Huguenots will look to set the tone defensively, and should have a number of capable players returning who can make life difficult for the defending Section IX champs, includ-
ing linebackers Taylor Rhett and Rastafari Anderson. Although the Huguenots’ win over Newburgh didn’t spark them to another dominant season last year, New Rochelle will look to reassert itself as one of the dominant big schools in the section with a solid performance in the opener.
More teams will be taking the field on Saturday, in a number of games that will see local squads taking on teams from around Section I and beyond. Eastchester, coming off a near playoff berth in 2022, will be traveling up to Section II to take on Averill Park High School in a game that should provide a talented Eagles team with a solid test. The Warriors fell in the Section II finals last year and bring back a host of seniors in 2023. The Eagles have some talented players up front, and will be relying on the emergence of Aidan Schultz under center as they look to make a name for themselves in the Class A landscape.
Few teams caught worse breaks than Bronxville last year, as the Broncos showed an ability to hang with tough teams—including NY State runners-up Pleasantville—that belied their 1-8 record. They should be duly motivated for their Week Zero matchup against a Chester Academy team from Section IX and
looking to prove that the lessons they learned in tight games last year will pay dividends in 2023.
Rye Neck, which will be moving up to Class B this year, will be taking on a familiar foe in Class C Valhalla as the Panthers look to right the ship after a few tough seasons. That game will feature a halftime celebration of one of the Panthers’ brightest stars, as Thomas Pipolo—
who quarterbacked the last Rye Neck team to make it to the Carrier Dome—will be inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame.
Class D Tuckahoe will also be taking on an in-section foe, as the Tigers begin their Section I title defense with a showdown against Port Chester, which is playing in the independent Hudson Valley League. The Tigers will be retooled this
year, and will look for the connection between Jax Colacicco and Connor Benke to pay dividends.
Finally, Saturday marks the latest installment of ‘The Game’, as Harrison and Rye get set to square off at Harrison High School. The Huskies downed the Garnets 22-7 last year to earn their first rivalry win since 2012, and the Sept. 2 matchup figures
to be a barnburner. Both the Huskies and Garnets could contend for Section I crowns this year—Harrison in Class A, Rye in their new home in Class B—but even though this early-season meeting won’t impact playoff standings, it will no doubt be the most anticipated game of the year.
