County to hold job fair for mental health providers

Westchester County Executive George Latimer and members of the county Board of Legislators joined with ArtsWestchester to announce the start of the 2019 Art$WChallenge, a matching grant program that seeks to raise $500,000 to support arts and cultural organizations throughout the county. For more, see page 6.

County Planning hosts Census Bureau survey training In an effort to ensure that every housing unit in Westchester County is properly counted for the upcoming and future U.S. Census surveys, the county Department of Planning will be hosting four Building Permits Survey Training sessions for building officials, clerks, municipal officials and planning and zoning

board members. The workshops, which will be held in four different municipalities, were designed to make sure that all building permit data is reported correctly to the U.S. Census Bureau each month, and help municipalities better understand the use of that data.

“The Census Bureau asks mu-

nicipalities to report each month on the building permits that they issue, and we all know that with the turnover within municipalities sometimes the staff lose sight of why they do things and what to do,” said Norma Drummond, county Planning Department commissioner. “This training will help

municipal staff and board members better understand how to file their monthly building permit data, and how that data gets used at both the city and county level. Having a better count of all the housing units in Westchester will ultimately lead to a better count of our residents in 2020.” (Submitted)

service providers with prospective employees, DSS and DCMH reached out to not only the contract provider agencies that work with the departments, but schools, colleges and universities across the county, as well as Not-ForProfit Westchester and other employment focused organizations, and members of the advocacy and faith-based communities.

“Not-for-profits are our partners in meeting the mental health and substance use needs of Westchester’s adults, children and families.,” Michael Orth, commissioner of DCMH. “Getting their job done means they need quality staff working day in and day out. By connecting these employers with prospective employees, we hope to help them better fulfill this mission.”

Commissioner of DSS Kevin McGuire, added, “Statutes, regulations, and accreditation standards set the staffing patterns for many of the services DSS provides and contracts for. Not just regulations for housing or treatment requirements, but also the skills, education and even staffing ratios involved in providing services. We can ensure optimal effectiveness of our services when we make sure our providers have the staff they need.” (Submitted)

Up for it?

Recognizing that vacant staff positions impede the mission of Westchester County’s nonprofit service providers, the County Executive’s Office, the Department of Social Services, DSS, and the Department of Community Mental Health, DCMH, are holding a Job Fair on Thursday, Oct. 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Westchester County Center in White Plains.

In delivering their broad array of programs to Westchester residents, more than 75 different notfor-profits contract with the county, through DSS and/or DCMH to provide community-based services to thousands of people across Westchester. More than 20 different potential employers, with more than 400 open positions, will be participating.

“Westchester’s nonprofit providers are an integral part of our delivery system,” County Executive George Latimer said. “They provide a vast array of the social services, mental health and substance use services that County residents need and rely on. Helping them recruit staff and fill job vacancies is one small thing we can do as a County government to ensure that they continue to provide the highest quality care.”

Westchester sees historic tourism spending in 2018

Preschoolers built these jeeps for an African Safari.

at rcs, exploration is a requirement.

Visitor spending in Westchester County grew 5 percent in 2018, representing 45 percent of all visitor spending in the Hudson Valley region.

The numbers are in and Westchester is on the rise. County Executive George Latimer is proud to announce that 2018 saw Westchester’s travel and tourism become a nearly $2 billion industry.

“The tourism industry is important to Westchester County and all of its residents, directly providing good jobs and driving economic growth,” Latimer said.

“These record numbers show that our efforts to promote all we have to offer in our picturesque County are working.”

In total, visitor spending grew 5 percent in 2018, representing 45 percent of all visitor spending in the Hudson Valley region.

This ranks Westchester County third in visitor spending in New

York State—behind only New York City and Long Island. This spending supported 24,360 jobs directly and indirectly in 2018— 5 percent of all jobs in Westchester County.

Tourism activity benefits many industry sectors in Westchester with all visitor spending categories growing in 2018 to make up that nearly $2 billion record.

Spending on lodging jumped 8 percent, followed by food & beverage and retail & service stations, up 5 percent. Recreation, transportation and spending on second homes also rose 4 percent each.

“Westchester County reached new heights as a destination in 2018,” said Natasha Caputo,

county Film and Tourism director. “The collective efforts between our tourism partners are paying off and reinforces that we are an ideal—and idyllic—destination for both business and leisure.”

Travel and tourism continues to be a significant driver of the county’s economy, providing revenue to support vital county services that residents rely on. Local taxes and state taxes generated $233 million in 2018 from the travel and tourism industry alone.

“Whether it be for business meetings, outdoor recreation, art exhibits, history, music or great food—Westchester County is your ideal destination,” Latimer said. (Submitted)

Latimer stresses the importance of school attendance As Westchester County’s students embark upon a new school year, County Executive George Latimer is proving that

school attendance is a top priority with the release of an Attendance Awareness Public Service Announcement, PSA. The

PSA was created in partnership with the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health, the Westchester

County Youth Bureau and the Tuckahoe School District.

Latimer’s attendance awareness campaign stresses the importance of having children attend school every day, in order to reduce chronic absenteeism

As Westchester County’s students embark upon a new school year, County Executive George Latimer is proving that school attendance is a top priority with the release of an Attendance Awareness Public Service Announcement.

and the negative impacts associated with poor attendance.

“Most of the class work that happens in an academic year from September to June builds day after day,” Latimer said. “So when you miss a day of school or a week of school, you miss the connective bridge on that topic. We all want our children to be as well-educated as possible. This world is changing every single day, and the skill sets you achieve through a formal education are going to be essential. I encourage all parents to recognize the dangers of chronic absenteeism, and help your child create positive school habits.”

Michael Orth, commissioner of the county Department of Community Mental Health said, “Chronic absenteeism not only affects student achievement, it can affect a student’s social and emotional development. While the causes of chronic absenteeism are multi-fold, addressing this complicated issue in a successful way involves a partnership between parents and caregivers, schools, government and community organizations. We all have an important role to

play in promoting school attendance, and investing in our children’s well-being.”

Dr. DaMia Harris-Maden, said, There is a multi-pronged approach to addressing chronic absenteeism, which starts with a clear message that our children should attend school every day. In Westchester County we are very fortunate to have community stakeholders who have championed this message, and who understand the number of socio-economic and health determinants that lead to absenteeism. Rather than place blame on parents and caregivers, we aim to leverage natural supports in our communities to remove the barriers that families and children face regarding school absenteeism.”

Tuckahoe School District Superintendent Carl Albano said, “The research is clear.

The more a child is absent from school, the more it negatively impacts their student performance. The trick is not waiting until it becomes a chronic problem. You need to intervene earlier as a school district, and as a community.”

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!”

ArtsWestchester announces

2019 Art$WChallenge

Westchester County Executive George Latimer and members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators joined with ArtsWestchester to announce the start of the 2019 Art$WChallenge, a matching grant program that seeks to raise $500,000 to support arts and cultural organizations throughout the county.

Now through Dec. 16, individuals and companies are encouraged to contribute to any of the 62 eligible Westchester arts and cultural organizations in order to trigger matching grant monies of up to $5,000 per organization from ArtsWestchester. This

unique program is made possible through a twelve-year partnership between ArtsWestchester and county government.

Individuals and businesses interested in making a 2019 contribution to one or more of the eligible Westchester arts groups, should visit artsw.org/artswchallenge, where they will find a list of the 62 participating arts organizations.

“The Arts$WChallenge is a successful public/private program that pays dividends for the economy,” Latimer said. “Since the inception of the Arts$WChallenge, an additional $3.6 million in pri-

vate funds have been raised for arts and culture in Westchester.”

During a kick-off reception at Morton’s The Steakhouse in White Plains, Janet Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester, thanked the county executive and the Board of Legislators for their continued commitment to the arts. “Westchester has a stellar galaxy of arts and cultural venues from world-class cultural destinations to ‘happening’ community events,” Langsam said.

“The Art$WChallenge is an opportunity to support these vital cultural organizations and double your gift with a match from Arts-

Westchester.”

A recent study by Americans for the Arts commissioned by ArtsWestchester found that arts and culture adds $172.3 million in total economic activity to Westchester County and delivers $25.8 million in local and state government revenue. Additionally, the arts sector supports 5,179 full-time equivalent jobs. In fact, since 1995, the economic impact of the arts in Westchester has increased by 218 percent, making investment in the arts good for both the local economy and for our overall quality of life.

Tasks facing the village this fall BRONXVILLE TODAY Mayor Mary Marvin

• The following is a compilation of activities and news relating to the village and local government The Library’s HVAC system is in need of a huge overhaul/replacement costing approximately $900,000.

• The library board and the village board are working as a team on funding to get this done expeditiously given the nature of the building’s contents and storage of historical documents.

• Not updated since 1942, the village Public Works facility on Palumbo Place is receiving a long overdue rehabilitation. Phase I bids for the demolition of the salt shed (shelter adjacent to the Fire House) and construction of a new parking lot which will add spaces for nearby schools and the senior citizen’s activities are due within the week. We are anticipating cost for this phase to be in the $800,000 range.

• The light at the intersection of Gramatan Avenue and Pondfield Road, demolished in a truck accident, will be replaced shortly.

At the same time, we are taking the opportunity to upgrade the nearby lighting and widen the abutting sidewalk.

• During the week of Oct. 7, the utility lines for the 100 Pondfield Road apartment project will be installed. We have limited the work to the hours of 3 p.m. until midnight to minimize what will certainly be a disruption.

• Park Avenue Terrace residents have agreed to work in partnership with the village and dismantle a garage that was built over a major sanitary sewer line so we can do extensive repairs.

• Repair to the entrance of the Colony Parking Lot (adjacent to Midland Gardens) will commence in the coming weeks.

• · North Road has been repaved, post major Con Edison utility work but the work on the adjacent side streets continues as Con Edison makes individual home connections.

• It has come to our attention that a small number of residents are renting their homes/rooms via AirBnB. The village does not allow such residential use and is reaching out to homeowners when made aware.

• Resident parking permits and commuter buyouts expire on Sept. 30.

• There is a two-week grace period to get your new permits affixed to your vehicle, provided you leave last year’s permits in place. This year the grace period refers to both your resident permit and your commuter buyout.

• A resident parking permit allows you to park in any resident space in the village. However, you still need to feed the meter.

• A buyout permit is a pre-payment of the meter, and is specific to a given parking lot. There are three commuter parking lots, and three different commuter buyout permits—one for the Kensington Garage, one for the Kraft Lot, one for the new Parkway Road Lot. • The Parkway Road Lot (formerly known as the Avalon Lot) is a PERMIT ONLY lot until 3 p.m. This means only Parkway Road Commuter Buyout permit holders and those with 24/7 reserved spaces for that lot can park from 6 a.m.-3 p.m. during the week. After 3pm, the Parkway Road lot is available to anyone provided they pay for their parking via the Pango app. Enforcement continues through 7 p.m. After 7 p.m. you are not required to pay for the meter, but cars must be removed before 2 a.m., as that is when overnight enforcement begins throughout the village. Overnight parking permit holders can park in this lot after 6 p.m. in the row facing Parkway Road. These vehicles parking overnight must be removed from the lot by 8 a.m.

• Vespas now have a defined parking area in the Kensington Garage. Space number 2232 and the hashtag space directly adjacent to it. Vespa parking is not allowed in the new Parkway Road lot at this time. We are looking into a bike rack and/or bike locker for the Parkway Road lot.

• Current Vespa permits do not

Connect with us on

show an expiration date, but we will be changing this soon. Starting in December, all Vespa permits must be renewed on an annual basis, just like all other Bronxville parking permits.

• Two charging stations have been installed in the Parkway Road lot, soon to be connected. If interested in use, contact Steve Shallo at Village Hall at 3377338, ext. 115.

• As a reminder, our village gas leaf blower ban has expired for the year, allowing for use from Oct. 1 until June 1, mindful of the need for the upcoming leaf season.

• Our village Court Clerk Kelly DeSimone, is currently away collecting her award for court clerk of the year for the entire state. It is such a deserved honor as she has run our court with great knowledge, organization and leadership, truly unequaled anywhere.

We will be honoring Kelly at our next Board of Trustees Meeting.

In August, the Federal Communications Commission adopted new rules impacting the ability of local governments to regulate and engage in negotiations with telecommunication companies.

As example, under the FCC Act, a municipality in a cable franchise agreement may not impose local franchise fees greater than 5 percent of the cable revenues. This limitation was often offset by the inclusion of noncash obligations negotiated which included built out requirements to ensure cable access to support all areas of a municipality as well as equipment support for public, governmental and school channels. The FCC has now ruled that these “in kind” payments must have their values included as part of the maximum franchise fee.

In addition, municipalities are now prohibited from regulating mixed use or non-cable services provided by cable operators. As many households have switched to broadband, this effectively limits local governments from any oversight of the services most likely used by residents.

In essence, the two rules were major setbacks to local control of these services.

Italian American Forum presents ‘il Signor Jackson’

Come celebrate Italian American Heritage month at The Picture House Regional Film Center on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 7 p.m. with a special screening of the documentary “il Signor Jackson” followed by a wine and cheese reception and Q&A with the award-winning filmmaker Anton Evangelista and subject of the film Edward Jackson. The film event is presented by The Italian American Forum and is free and open to the public. “il Signor Jackson” is the unique story of Edward Jackson, a remarkable African-American with an Italian spirit, raised in a predominately Italian-Ameri-

can neighborhood in the Bronx of the 1950s, eventually becoming an educator in the New York City public school system and a prominent cultural figure of Italian biculturalism and bilingualism. “il Signor Jackson” is the winner of the 2018 Russo Brothers Italian American Film Forum.

Award-winning filmmaker Anton Evangelista is a graduate of The High School of Art and Design in New York City, his raw talent would later develop into combining his artistic and theatrical abilities into one channel: to write, produce and direct his own movies. In 1994, he founded his production company, Compre-

hensive Films, with the goal of developing and producing filmed stories that would inspire, transform and enrich lives in an entertaining way.

Tickets to the special screening and reception are free and are available at thepicturehouse.org or at the box office, 175 Wolfs Lane in Pelham.

The Italian American Forum, a network of business and community leaders, serves as a catalyst for the exchange of ideas on relevant contemporary issues while supporting worthwhile initiatives dedicated to promoting and preserving the Italian-American heritage. (Submitted)

A new hope LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but—thanks to Daniel Jones— watching the Giants is fun again.

Now, don’t get me wrong; I’m not anointing Big Blue’s new quarterback as the second-coming of Tom Brady, nor am I saying he’s going to lead the Giants to a playoff berth this year. I’m simply pointing out that, for the first time in a long time, Giants fans have had a reason to be excited on football Sundays again.

The No. 6 draft pick officially took over the starting role from alltime Giant great Eli Manning two weeks ago and two wins later Giants fans are feeling something they haven’t felt in a while; enthusiasm.

The wins themselves haven’t been all that impressive. The Duke product looked great in a 32-31 win over the Buccaneers in Week 3, throwing 336 and two touchdowns while rushing

for another score. But to be fair, the Giants don’t win that game at all if Bucs’ kicker Matt Gay doesn’t shank a chip-shot field goal as time expired. Likewise, there were a couple of issues with Jones—namely turnovers— in the Giants win over the lowly Redskins last week.

But a win is a win is a win.

And more than that, it’s a breath of fresh air.

From a football standpoint, “Danny Dimes,” as he is now known, has a lot of room to improve. That’s not a criticism, it’s just a fact. He’s a rookie quarterback and even the best rookies make mistakes as they learn to adjust—or don’t—to the competition at the pro level. But his skillset and youth, not to mention his mobility, give the Giants a look they haven’t had since Eli joined the team.

The game is changing, and we’re seeing fewer and fewer pure pocket passers around the league as teams are opting for athletic quarterbacks who can make things happen with their

legs. And seeing the Giants employ this philosophy looks like the team is finally ready to step into the 21st century and join the rest of the NFL. After years of watching the Giants run stodgy, outdated offensive packages—regardless of who was calling the plays—it’s downright electrifying to see them move the pocket and open up the playbook.

Sure, this feeling might be fleeting. The Giants won two games against two bad teams, and as other organizations get more tape on Jones, they’ll be able make adjustments. I fully expect Bill Belichick and the Pats’ defense to be ready for him on Oct. 10 and make him look like the neophyte that he is.

But that’s still two weeks away; and as someone who hasn’t had a whole lot to cheer about lately, I’m just happy to finally be looking forward to Sundays again.

In his first two games as the New York Giants quarterback, Daniel Jones has led Big Blue to back-to-back wins.

More importantly, he is giving the fan base hope. Photo courtesy Wikipedia.org
