“This year’s Restaurant Week will be like no other,” said Mike Martinelli, Today Media’s Hudson Valley Group Publisher. “We’re offering several different price points so even more restaurants can participate which increases the number and variety of es tablishments that diners have to choose from. We’re excited to once again highlight the bounty of

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday that since early Janu ary, when mobile sports wagering became available in New York, the state has collected $542 million in taxes through the week ending Oct. 30, far surpassing every other state in the nation. An additional $200 million in licensing fees has also been collected, generating a total of more than $740 million in revenue, most of it to be used for education. This far outperforms every other state in the nation, including those that have been accepting mobile sports wagers for several years.

“By bringing sports wagering to New York, we have not only opened the door to responsible entertainment for millions of sports fans, but we have also brought in significant revenue to support schools, as well as youth sports, while implementing important safe guards to help those who need it,” Hochul said. “I’m proud of the work that has been done to secure our state’s top position in mobile sports wagering, and I am excited to continue the trend as we secure hundreds of millions of dollars to support programs that will improve the lives of New Yorkers.”

New York State set a record of $73 million in mobile sports wa gering tax revenue in September,

the most generated by any state to date, breaking its own record of $63 million set in January. For context, according to reports, the highest monthly mobile sports wagering tax revenue generated outside of New York is Pennsyl vania in November 2021 at $19 million.

New York State Gaming Com mission Chairman Brian O’Dwyer said, “New York continues to lead the nation in sports wager ing thanks to Governor Hochul’s enacting of smart gaming policies that deliver real, transformative re sults for New Yorkers. The revenue generated from sports wagering will provide critical support to our schools, youth sports and respon sible gaming programs.”

New York State Office of Addic tion Services and Supports Com missioner Chinazo Cunningham said, “OASAS stands ready with services and supports for New Yorkers struggling with problem gambling. This additional revenue from mobile sports wagering will allow OASAS to expand important prevention, treatment, harm reduc tion and recovery services across the State.”

State Senator Joseph P. Add abbo, Jr. said, “Since New York

TOBACCO COMPANIES ARE TARGETING

Westchester County resident to receive volunteer service award

Lloyd Cort of Greenburgh will receive Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Exemplary Volunteer Service Award at the New York State Office for the Aging, NYSO FA, Annual Older New Yorkers’ Day Celebration on Nov. 4. Cort was nominated by the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services, DSPS, for his decades of service to the town of Greenburgh and the people who live there.

The Governor’s Exemplary Volunteer Service Award is announced annually on Older New Yorkers’ Day, Nov. 4. It recognizes an older adult for excep tional volunteerism, service and proactive dedication to the civic good as well as the social, health and overall well-being of individuals of all ages in their community. The awardee is chosen for the special dis tinction from numerous nominations by local offices for the aging, as well as community partners.

Born in Guyana, Cort has been a Westchester Coun ty resident since 1969 and has resided in Greenburgh since 1973, where he raised his two children with his wife Gwen of 48 years. Cort has served on various committees and boards, including as Chair of the Com munity Development Advisory Committee, Chair of the Police Community Advisory Commission, and member of the Greenburgh Budget Oversight Commission. Today, he continues to make a difference assisting the disadvantaged and underserved by improving access to programs, services and activities in Westchester.

Cort said: “There is much joy in giving, but the gifts we receive from volunteering are truly priceless. You get the opportunity to not only improve the lives of others, but also create a better future for all.”

DSPS Commissioner Mae Carpenter expressed her sincere gratitude for Cort’s accomplishments, and his selfless commitment to service.

“The gifts that Mr. Cort has given to Greenburgh through his contribution of time, talent and skills is truly to be admired by all,” said Carpenter. “One of our very own will receive this coveted award, it should make every generation proud.”

The Nov. 4 celebration will stream live at 1 p.m. on Facebook and YouTube. The program will include remarks from NYSOFA Director Greg Olsen, elected officials, and the Association on Aging in New York Executive Director, Becky Preve. Preve will present the Governor’s Exemplary Volunteer Service Award to Cort. She will also name the 90-plus volunteers that were nominated throughout the state. A com memorative program book has been published by NYSOFA and will be distributed to the awardees.

These stories of selfless commitment offer per sonal examples of the work being done by more than one million older adults throughout New York who contribute 495 million hours of community service each year at an economic value of $13.8 billion. We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude.

entered the mobile sports betting market back in January, we have collected over $500 million in tax revenue. That is an incredible achievement — especially in only a 10-month timespan with only nine operators — with the majority of this money going towards the state’s educational coffers, gaming addiction programs, as well as youth sports programs. With this great start, I look forward to a greater potential for increasing the benefits of mobile sports betting for the residents of New York with the NFL season in full swing, the NHL and NBA seasons getting underway and the current World Series.”

Assemblymember Gary Pretlow said, “I’m elated with the success of mobile sports betting in New York but not surprised! When Senator Addabbo and I proposed the bill to legalize mobile sports wagering in New York, we knew the fans had an appetite for wagering because they were going across the river to bet in New Jersey. We have a robust sports market in New York with multiple teams in each major sports league (NFL, NBA, NHL, & MLB). Our success was inevitable - that’s why we wanted to incorporate as many entities and affiliates as possible. This endeavor has been a win/win for New Yorkers as we have generat ed millions in revenue for education and youth sports while not turning a blind eye to respon sible gaming programs.”

According to GeoComply, a software firm used by sports books to ensure geolo cation requirements, more than 11.3 million unique player accounts have been created since January, conducting nearly 985 million

transactions.

Looking at a breakdown of wagers by sport since January 8, 2022, Major League Baseball has taken in $2.6 billion and the NBA was not far behind with $2.5 billion. For football, the most popular sport in America, the NFL has taken in $1.3 billion over 10 regular season weeks and all of the 2022 playoffs. College football has taken in $406 million, which includes the 2022 bowl games and the current regular season to date. A final statistic to accentuate the popularity of pro football mobile sports wagering in New York State shows the average number of transac tions on Sundays since the start of the 2022 season at 5.7 million.

Through the week ending October 30, 2022, the mobile sports wagering handle is $13 billion with net revenue to education of $527 million. For FY 2023 and annually thereafter, revenues from mobile sports wa gering are distributed as follows: $5 million to fund sports programs for underserved youths, $6 million to fund problem gambling educa tion and treatment, and the remaining majority to education aid.

The Commission’s regulations require op erators to prevent underage gaming, provide bettors the availability to impose spending limits, and share information on gambling risks and signs of problem gambling. New Yorkers who are struggling with a gambling problem or know someone with a gambling problem can call the state’s toll-free, confi dential HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPENY (1877-846-7369) or text HOPENY (467369).

End of the road

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, Christmas music is playing in the stores, and by Monday, high school sports teams will be hitting the court and the ice for the first practice of the winter season.

So where did the time go?

This weekend, Section I will play its last sanctioned varsity contests of the fall, as 10 football teams will duke it out at Mahopac High School to crown five section al champs. But it seems like just yesterday that I was pounding the pavement in August, trying to get to as many preseason camps as I could when the days were still long. But looking back at those early vis its and the predictions made by me and other sports pundits, I have to say that outside a few minor twists and turns, a lot of the final weekend makes sense.

Were there some surprises?

Well, Mamaroneck’s football team has been one for sure. While I think most expected the Tigers to make a deep playoff run this year, they’ve turned in an absolutely dominant campaign in 2022, going a perfect 9-0 to reach their first section final in program history.

As for Harrison, which fell just short of its bid to reach the Section I title, it was also a banner year. But the Huskies were also a team peo ple expected big things from this year and they played accordingly; enjoying their best season in a long time en route to an appearance in the Class A semifinals.

But that’s not to say every surprising team had a storybook ending. Eastchester, for example, far exceeded expectations, played Class A favorite remarkably tough for a half, but just narrowly missed the playoffs on a fluky punt return in the final week of the season. But eliminate that final play and the Eagles were right there with anyone else in the Class A playoffs, even despite catastrophic injuries

suffered by huge stars.

So here we are, at the precipice of the winter season, with just one more game to determine who will ultimately write the last chapter in Section I football. But overall, it’s been a pretty good story so far; we’ve got a young Rye team taking on a daunting foe from Somers,

a Mamaroneck team in uncharted waters doing the same against Car mel. We’ve got Tuckahoe playing Haldane for what looks like—after the NYS Class realignments came out—the last time for a Class D title.

So clearly, there’s a lot happen ing, and by the end of the week end we’ll know who’s moving on

to states. But for the teams that don’t find themselves advancing to regionals, there’s at least a silver lin ing. When they get back to school on Friday, it will already be basket ball season.

Eagles qualify for states

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

A number of Eagles shined in county and con ference competition this weekend.

On Saturday morning at Somers High School, soph omore Ava Pennachio made school history by becoming the first member of the girls cross country team to win a County Championship. Besting a field of 176 other runners, Pennachio posted a time of 18:46.1, which put her significantly ahead of her closest competition.

Eastchester coach Zack Berbit commended Penna chio for her ability to find a second wind in the final leg of the race and said that her tenacity shined through on Saturday.

“With 600 meters to go, she was about even with two other girls and then she widened that lead by about 10 seconds,” said Berbit. “That’s a heck of a finish, and

she really executed her game plan.”

Pennachio credited both Berbit and the rest of her Eastchester teammates with helping her find an extra gear, noting that Eastches ter’s Cross Country team is a tight-knit community that helps each individual athlete bring out the best in them selves.

“I love cross country because of the culture,” said Pennachio. “And even though I did go faster at the end, I think it was a combination of hard work and practice, and the fact that I was doing it because I wanted to win for my teammates.”

Pennachio will be back in action this weekend during the Section I Championship at Bowdoin Park with a chance to qualify for a spot at states, but another group of Eastchester athletes have already punched their tickets to their state championships.

On Saturday, the East chester girls swim team built

on an already undefeated regular season campaign to capture the Conference title with an impressive perfor mance that saw them win nine out of 11 events.

Five Eastchester swim mers—Lauren Maierle, Ally Pfeiffer, Lucianna Gutierrez, Kait Sweeney and Sofia Torres—posted individual times qualifying them for the NYSPHSAA Championship Meet, which will begin on Nov. 18 in Webster, NY. In addition, those five swim mers participate on two relay teams—in the 200m Freestyle and 400m Freestyle events— that have also qualified for the statewide meet.

Head coach Kymani Senior says that the team’s depth of talent and healthy internal competition have been important factors in lift ing the Eagles to their 10-0 record.

“It’s 100 percent about setting a tone and holding yourself accountable to a high level of performance,” he

said. “You could see it come together at the Conference Championship, how they came out with the focus, determination and prepara

tion they needed to dominate that day.”

Editor’s Note: Cross Country athlete Matthew Thomson also qualified for

States at the Nov. 5 Section I meet at Bowdoin Park.

On Sunday, Nov. 6, a wild run by the Bronxville field hockey team came to an end when they fell in the Class C regional finals to a tough team from Hoosick Falls. For the Broncos, even being in a position to vie for a state title might have seemed like a long-shot, but Bronxville’s grit, talent and determination carried them further than many would have expected in the beginning of the year.

After storming to a Class C Section I

Hoosick Falls returned 10 of 11 start ers from last year’s state runner-up and Emma McCart led the way, scoring two goals on the afternoon. Ava Kasulinous and Tatum Hickey each found the net as well. The Panthers earned 13 corner chances to the Broncos’ three, and Bronxville goalie Sofia Costanzo made six saves to keep her team in the game.

Bronxville finished the season with a solid 11-6-3 record, going 6-3 within the league. Until Sunday’s loss to Hoosick Falls, the team had not allowed a single goal in a playoff run stretching three games. The Broncos outscored oppo nents 6-0 over that time Fram.

With the win, Hoosick Falls punched its ticket to the state final four. Up next for the Panthers is a game against Sec tion VIII’s Carle Place on Saturday, Nov. 12. The winner of that game will take on the winner between Whitney Point and Port Byron on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m..
