On Monday, Oct. 7, the Westchester County Board of Legislators began consideration of a measure that would ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes and vaping products, including mint and menthol, in Westchester County. While the proposed legislation remains before the board’s Committees on Environment, Health, and Energy and on Legislation, the board has scheduled a public hearing on the measure for the evening of Oct. 21. “The serious health concerns that have arisen around vaping present an urgent public health crisis,” said county Legislator Nancy Barr, chairwoman of the board’s Environment, Health, and Energy Committee, said.“It is especially urgent because of the appeal of these flavored products to younger users. While we anticipate the state will even-

tually pass a law to protect the public, as County Legislators we need to be working now to prevent the creation of a new generation of nicotine addicts.” The national Centers for Disease Control is currently investigating the cause of recent deaths and illnesses that appear to be related to vaping. “Protecting the public health is one of our most solemn responsibilities as lawmakers,” said Kitley Covill, chairwoman of the board’s Legislation Committee. “This legislation builds on the actions we’ve already taken to raise the age for the purchase of tobacco products, in order to protect the public health and well-being of the people of Westchester. I look forward to working with my colleagues to make this a strong, fair piece of legislation.” (Submitted)

County proposes 2020 Capital Budget Westchester County Executive George Latimer has sent to the county Board of Legislators the 2020 proposed County Capital Budget. The second proposed budget of the Latimer administration. The 2020 Capital Budget proposes an additional $309.7 million in new appropriations, including $218.1 million for the general fund, $66.0 million for the sewer and water districts, $6.0 million for the refuse district and $19.7 million for the airport. “We have had a banner year, getting this County on the right financial path,” Latimer said. “One of my top priorities has been implementing a robust capital program that ensures existing infrastructure and programs are maintained and built on. The projects in this Capital Budget, improve the quality of life for the County’s residents and promote sustainability. ” Latimer made affordable housing in the county a top priority in this budget, requesting $20 million in new appropriations: $10 million for the New Homes Land Acquisition Fund and $10 million

for the Housing Implementation Fund for the construction of infrastructure necessary to support the development of affordable housing. These are the highest amounts ever requested for these two funds. “Affordable housing is the number one issue facing older people in Westchester County and I am glad to see it taken seriously in 2020 proposed Capital Budget,” said Mae Carpenter, county Senior Programs and Services commissioner. A large portion of the budget also focuses on transportation. After receiving 78 new hybrid-electric drive articulated buses in 2018 and 2019, the 2020 proposal includes $54 million in new appropriations to continue converting the Bee-Line Bus fleet from internal-combustion diesel buses to hybrid-electric drive buses. Combined with re-appropriations from prior years, this funding will replace approximately 100 40-foot buses at a total cost of $86.6 million. Working with our state and federal partners, the county is slated to receive $66 million in state and federal aid

to be applied toward this acquisition. The new articulated buses have reduced fuel consumption by over a half-million gallons annually. “Concerning climate change, one third of our carbon footprint is transportation, and these County buses help to reduce that as well as help reduce the pollutants in the air we all breathe,” said Peter McCartt, county director of Energy Conservation and Sustainability. “With the addition of solar to our two bus terminals we get even closer to our goal of zero carbon.” Additionally, $33.2 million in new appropriations are requested for continued rehabilitation of the county’s network of parkways, roads, and bridges. “This is part of our continuing effort to rebuild the County’s infrastructure for residents safety and convenience,” said Hugh Greechan, county commissioner of Public Works and Transportation. An additional $15 million is requested for the continued replacement of the engines and blowers at the Yonkers Joint Water Resource Recovery Facility. This project, totaling $69

The county’s 2020 Capital Budget proposes an additional $309.7 million in new appropriations, including $218.1 million for the general fund, $66.0 million for the sewer and water districts, $6.0 million for the refuse district and $19.7 million for the airport.

million, will allow the facility to offset 70 percent of its reliance on utility power. “This is an exciting program for the County which will allow the Plant to transition to renewable energy,” said Vincent Kopicki, county Department of Environmental Facilities commissioner. At the Westchester County Airport, $18.7 million in new appropriations are requested for the continuation of the de-icing fluid application, collection, storage and disposal systems installation.

Adding this new funding to the $19 million that is requested to be re-appropriated from 2019 allows the county to complete these upgrades that will ensure that spent de-icing fluid is recaptured and disposed of properly. The Proposed 2020 Capital Budget also funds numerous investments in the county’s park system, including restoration of the Tarrytown Lighthouse, as well as improvements at Merestead, Tibbetts Brook, Ward Pound Ridge, Hilltop Hanover

and Playland. “The capital investments that are scheduled for the parks in 2020 will continue to provide much needed refurbishing and restoration to facilities that are over 60 years old,” said Kathy O’Connor, county parks commissioner. The county Board of Legislators will receive the proposed Capital Budget and the proposed Operating Budget and are charged with passing the county budget by the end of December. (Submitted)

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.

Latimer kicks off fall season at Sunnyside Standing outside the historic home on the Hudson River that once belonged to America’s “founding father of literature” Washington Irving, County Executive George Latimer invited residents from Westchester and beyond to embrace the fall season—right here in Westchester County. Whether you are looking for an enchanting escape to Irving’s muchloved Sunnyside estate, a venue for apple picking, pumpkin picking and apple cider donuts, the thrill of a haunted attraction or miles of parks and trails to enjoy beautiful fall foliage—this is just some of what Westchester County has to offer you

this fall season. “There is no better time to get out and enjoy what is always a spectacular time of year in Westchester County,” Latimer said. “With all of the activities available to your family and friends, you may find it difficult to fit them all in. Come explore the County’s farms and orchards, visit Scared by the Sound at Rye Playland, stop by the annual Halloween Train Show at Lasdon Park, and if you’re an outdoor enthusiast, hit the hundreds of miles of beautiful County parks and hiking and biking trails. There is always a new and exciting attraction to check out, so make the most of the autumn season with an escape

to Westchester County.” “We are excited to kick off the fall season in Sleepy Hollow Country, celebrate Washington Irving’s legacy, and to operate some of the country’s biggest Halloween events right here in Westchester,” said Rob Schweitzer, vice president of commerce and communications at Historic Hudson Valley. “From the 15th anniversary of The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze at Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, to the legendary frights at Horseman’s Hollow in the heart of Sleepy Hollow, Historic Hudson Valley’s events delight, enchant and thrill visitors of all ages.”

Rye Neck 6th graders spread kindness, peace Rye Neck Middle School sixth graders—who drew inspiration from Pablo Picasso’s famous antiwar painting called “Guerni-

ca”—recently created their own original paintings that incorporated a white dove, the international symbol of peace, at the center of

their work. Under the leadership of art teacher Trisha Appel, the project was designed to help students spread kindness and peace

throughout their school. Using pencils and paper, the students first sketched out their ideas and doves before outlining their work in black Sharpie and painting their compositions with watercolor paints. Then, they painted their dove white with tempera paint to make it stand out, and later outlined it in black oil pastels or black pencils to further emphasize the dove. They also incorporated different words of encouragement to express their messages of peace

and kindness. “Each student’s work was different, yet they were all using the same subject matter,” Appel said. “I liked how they were able to take a theme and be as creative as they liked, and how they were able to use the skills that they learned to create wonderful works of art.” In addition, the students’ work directly aligned with the No Place for Hate program at Rye Neck Middle School, which was spearheaded by sixth grade guid-

ance counselor Meegan Lawlor a few years ago. “The program helps to create a school environment that reminds students to be inclusive of each other, to be kind to each other, and to value and respect everyone,” Appel said. “Our art project was designed to remind students to continually promote kindness, peace and acceptance throughout school and wherever they go.” The sixth graders’ artwork is on display outside the main office.

Legislation to better monitor precious metals

Law enforcement has identified an increase in crimes related to stolen goods which coincides with the onset of the opioid and heroin epidemic—and while laws currently exist to regulate precious metal and gem dealers, they were in need of an update to keep up with advancements in technology and changes in law enforcement trends.

Standing with the county’s Department of Public Safety, Westchester County Executive George Latimer signed legislation aimed at giving them the tools they need to keep us all safe. “This legislation will solve a loophole in the law created by changes in technology,” Latimer said. “The task to investigate a crime with a high value stolen item was always a laborious process and involved going through actual paper records from any number of sources. By creating this electronic registry, we are making the detection of this crime that much quicker.” Law enforcement has identified an increase in crimes related to stolen goods which coincides with the onset of the opioid and heroin epidemic—and while laws currently exist to regulate precious metal and

gem dealers, they were in need of an update to keep up with advancements in technology and changes in law enforcement trends. Since secondhand dealers are often used to dispose of stolen goods, controls and regulations on the industry would assist in preventing the proliferation of stolen goods being sold for quick cash which is then in turn used to purchase drugs. This new law requires metal and gem dealers to not only maintain written records of their transactions, but also submit daily electronic records of each transaction they make. This will provide law enforcement with the tools necessary to combat the secondhand sale of stolen, or otherwise illegally obtained, goods. “This bill enhances our ability to identify persons who have sold

stolen property and increases the odds that we can recover that property for its rightful owner,” said county Public Safety Commissioner Thomas Gleason.This new local law makes sweeping changes to the current version of the law regulating precious metal and gem dealers which has not been otherwise updated since 1985. “This is clearly one of those situations where we needed to update the laws of Westchester to better catch thieves,” said Jim Maisano, Consumer Protection director. “The only way we can catch the thieves is to update technology to get this data transferred very quickly so we can identify those items and get them back for the person that lost them before they’re sold and lost forever. That is why these updates are so important.”(Submitted)

A double feature LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

There was a fear, when Major League Baseball first introduced interleague play back in 1997, that regular season games pitting teams from the National and American leagues against each other would rob both the All-Star Game and World Series of some of its magic. Some 22 years later, interleague play is now part of the fabric of the sport, and the concerns of those critics—which may have once been valid—are fading with each passing year. If absence makes the heart grow fonder, as the saying goes, I would counter with another adage; familiarity breeds contempt. And in many respects, that is a good thing. On Oct. 19, the football teams from Harrison and Rye will square off for the second straight week, this time in the first round of the Class A playoffs. This marks the second straight year

that the two rivals have ended the regular season with their annual installment of ‘The Game’ only to turn around and do it all again the following week. But while some might think that having the Huskies and Garnets play four games in a two-year span might lessen the importance and the novelty of these meetings, I would argue the opposite; and I’m totally pumped for Saturday’s rematch. Even without the trappings of the playoffs, there is always a ton on the line each time these two squads take the field; town pride, bragging rights, there’s a reason that Harrison vs. Rye is always one of the banner events of the Section I football calendar. And even though both teams came into last weekend’s matchup knowing that—in all likelihood—they’d be squaring off again in the first round of sectionals, I didn’t feel as though any wind had been taken out of the regular season showdown. Rye may have triumphed with a 41-13 win, but there was no

sense of complacency shown by either side. The Huskies matched the Garnets score for score in the first half, and even though Rye began to pull away late, there was no quit in the Huskies, who knew full well that every time they got the chance to suit up against their rivals, each snap mattered. As it turns out, the final score may not matter much either. Last season, the Garnets walloped the Huskies 41-14 in the regular season finale, only to see Harrison storm back the next week and throw a scare into the higher-seeded team. Rye may have come away with a 34-28 win in the end, but not before a furious second half comeback by the Huskies made it look like they might send Rye packing. So I’m looking forward to Saturday’s game. I’m interested to see how each team responds to the quick turnaround; I’m interested to see what adjustments are made in the game plan; and I’m interested to see if there is anything that Harrison can do in order to stem the tide of recent

Rye success. Mostly, I’m interested because no matter how many times they

play, Harrison vs. Rye is still Harrison vs. Rye. And that’s something both sides can agree on.

Game Notes: • Rye scored 28 unanswered in the 2nd half • Declan Lavelle threw for 1 TD, ran for 2 • Rye’s all-time series lead improved to 46-42-3

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Over the last decade and a half, the most storied rivalry in Section I football has been one-sided, to say the least. Heading into Saturday’s contest between Harrison and Rye—the 91st meeting between the schools—the Garnets had established an era of sheer dominance, taking 17 of the last 18 games. On Oct. 12, they added another victory to increase their all-time tally, withstanding an early challenge from the Huskies to author a convincing 41-13 win. Rye’s senior quarterback, De-

clan Lavelle, who has guided the Garnets to an undefeated record against the Huskies during his high school career, said that earn-

“It feels so good, just this being the last year with all the seniors, all my friends,” Lavelle said. “Especially on their home turf, it feels so good to do.” An evenly played first half belied the final score, as Harrison’s ability to grind out yards and keep the Garnet offense on the sidelines paid dividends in the first 24 minutes. Although Rye got on the board first, Harrison responded with a 40-yard touchdown scamper by quarterback Troy Straus and a quick strike from Straus to sophomore A.J. Troilo to take a six-point lead. The Garnets closed out the half in impressive fashion, however, as Lavelle connected with wideout Quinn Kelly to tie the score at 13-13 with just 37.2 seconds left before halftime. The Garnets would score 28 unanswered points in the second half to end any hopes of a Harrison upset. “It was all in the execution; we came out hot, then we slowed down a bit and went into halftime tied,” Lavelle said. “But we came out in the second half with a great mentality that allowed us to go get a win.” Although Lavelle shouldered much of the load for Rye, throwing for 260 yards and a touch-

down and running for two more scores, the quarterback was quick to praise the play of sophomore Caden Whalen, who ran for 142 and two touchdowns, including a 59-yard jaunt that increased Rye’s second half lead to 21 points. “He may be a sophomore but he plays like a senior,” Lavelle said. “I thought he carried us today and he did a great job running the ball.” Although this latest win increased their series lead over the Huskies to 46-42-3, Rye isn’t done with Harrison quite yet as the Garnets (5-1) will host the

Huskies (2-4) on Oct. 19 in the first round of the Class A playoffs. Last season saw a similar scenario unfold, as Rye topped Harrison 41-14 in the regular season finale but was forced to play against the Huskies the following week, in a much more competitive game that saw them escape with a 34-28 win. “We’ll just have to study film and prepare all week in practice,” Lavelle said. “We have to get ready to play a hard-fought game next week.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
