County awarded $100K grant for climate action plan Westchester County, along with five of its villages, one town and two cities have been awarded a $100,000 grant to administer a collaborative working group to complete individual government operations greenhouse gas inventories and climate action plans that will outline emissions reduction targets, strategies and projects.

“Westchester County, and the municipalities that comprise it, take very seriously the impact climate change has on our present and future,” County Executive George Latimer said. “This grant will allows us to work together to find real solutions and serve as a model for other governments who aim to create a similar robust climate response plan.”

Westchester County Climate Action Planning Institute is a 16-month-long inter-municipal program where nine municipalities will participate in a collaborative working group to complete

individual local government operations GHG emissions inventories, GHGI, and climate action plans, CAP, that will outline GHG emissions reduction targets, strategies and projects.

As lead applicant and project participant, Westchester County’s project team will include municipal staff and appointed members from its Climate Smart Communities Task Force.

“My office, and our Task Force, are charged with finding ways to make Westchester more energy efficient as we move away from fossil fuels,” said Peter McCartt, director of Energy & Sustainability. “This funding will give us an even greater opportunity to do just that while forging even greater deeper partnerships with our local municipalities by having a replicable model plan for all.”

The county is being joined by five villages, one town, and two

cities; all who want to develop successful climate change mitigation strategies and build community resilience. Each partner municipality will contribute a similar team.

Along with the county, the other participants are: • Village of Hastings-on-Hudson • Village of Irvington • Town and village of Ossining • City of Peekskill • Village of Tarrytown • Village of Pelham • City of White Plains.

“Participation in this grant is a great opportunity to collaborate with neighboring municipalities and the County to leverage resources towards the goals of identifying greenhouse gas emissions and developing a climate action plan,” White Plains Mayor Tom Roach said. “These two deliverables will direct future environmental initiatives.”

On CAPI Westchester’s completion, the county and partner municipalities will present their GHGIs and CAPs at a final working group meeting and to their respective environmental committees and elected officials. As primary programmatic implementation partner, the Hudson Valley Regional Council will guide participants in the development of their GHGIs and CAPs. Hastings-on-Hudson Mayor Nicola Armacost said: “Hastings-on-Hudson is deeply committed to addressing climate change and this collaborative initiative led by the County will help us make headway on developing a much needed climate action plan and undertaking a climate vulnerability assessment,” Hastings-on-Hudson Mayor Nicola Armacost said. “We owe it our children and future generations to start making the necessary changes now.” (Submitted)

with attempted assault as a hate crime. Just one day later, the defendant was arrested as the result of a similar unprovoked attack on another woman and again she was released. The judge did not have the discretion to detain the defendant on bail. It wasn’t until a third arrest, just days later, that the serial attacker was remanded pending a psychiatric evaluation.

“With this amendment, we have the opportunity to adjust the critical bail reforms that were enacted last year,” Paulin said.

“Bail reform needed to happen in the interest of justice and equal treatment of accused individuals but we must balance those objectives against the safety and security of our residents. During this time of widespread and increased attacks against the Jewish community, we must do all we can to make all New Yorkers feel safe and protected.“The good intentions of the pre-trial reforms that were passed in last year’s budget unfortunately have come with some unintended consequences that need to be addressed immediately. I am particularly concerned that judges have lost the ability to impose bail on violent and potentially violent perpetrators of hate crimes and domestic violence. These types of crimes carry a high incidence of recurrence and escalation in severity.

We cannot have a situation where the judiciary is handcuffed and the victims of crimes are left vulnerable and afraid.” (Submitted)

New York State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin has proposed legislation that aims to restore judicial discretion to judges in relation to requiring bail for criminal defendants who may pose a threat to public safety.

The 2019-2020 New York State Budget included sweeping changes to the way defendants are remanded following their arrest and before their criminal trial begins.

Under these reforms, courts now must release defendants on their own recognizance pending trial unless the court makes a determination that the defendant poses a flight risk to avoid prosecution.

However, the court may not consider the dangerousness that a defendant poses to the crime victim or the community.

On Friday, Jan. 3, Paulin filed legislation in the state Assembly to amend subdivision 1 of section 510.10 of the criminal procedure law to allow a court to make an individualized determination regarding the dangerousness of a particular defendant. Corresponding legislation has been proposed in the state Senate.

In addition to the recent mass shooting at a kosher supermarket in Jersey City and a stabbing incident at a Rabbi’s home in Monsey, Paulin pointed to an attack in Brooklyn where a 30 year old woman physically attacked three Jewish women while shouting anti-semitic epithets. As a result of the new bail reforms, the attacker was released after being charged

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!”

County to offer free flu vaccines this month With peak flu season at the height of activity, Westchester County Executive George Latimer announced that the county Health Department will offer more free flu vaccines for residents by appointment on Tuesday, Jan. 14 and Tuesday, Jan. 21 at the County Clinic in White Plains.

“The flu is widespread this season, and it can be miserable if you come down with the virus,” Latimer said. “I encourage anyone who did not have a flu vaccine this fall to sign up for one today, to protect you and those around you well into 2020.”

The New York State Department of Health has reported a sharp increase in the number of laboratory-confirmed influenza cases and hospitalizations reported statewide. So far this season in New York, 3,592 flu-related hospitalizations and one flu-associated pediatric death have been

reported.

Westchester flu clinics are open to all, especially those without insurance or whose insurance doesn’t cover vaccines. Register online for a free flu vaccine at health.ny.gov/gotoclinic/60.

The vaccines will be given at the County Clinic, 134 Court St., White Plains, as follows: • Tuesday, Jan. 14, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

• Tuesday, Jan. 21, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The county Health Department has focused its public vaccination efforts on people who lack the means to get vaccinated elsewhere by bringing flu shots to homeless shelters, soup kitchens and food pantries throughout Westchester.

“Everyone six months and older should get a flu shot each year,” said county Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler. “Flu can be deadly, and the flu vaccine is very safe and the best protection

Connect with us on

we have. By getting an annual flu shot, you help protect infants too young to be vaccinated, seniors and people with chronic health conditions, who are more vulnerable to flu complications.”

Flu activity usually peaks between December and February, but can last into May. One flu vaccine now provides protection all season long and can prevent illness or reduce the severity of flu symptoms. The vaccine becomes fully effective after about two weeks.

Amler said that anyone who does get a respiratory infection should cough or sneeze into their elbow, wash their hands frequently with soap and water, stay home until 24 hours after their fever subsides to avoid spreading germs, clean surfaces they touch frequently, such as doorknobs, water faucets, refrigerator handles and telephones, and get plenty of rest.

A conversation with George Latimer

By JANET BEAR Contributor What’s happening in Westchester County? If you were present at the Larchmont/Mamaroneck Local Summit breakfast meeting on Dec. 9, you had the opportunity to hear Westchester County Executive George Latimer, speak on a wide range of issues that impact residents’ lives, communities and pocketbooks.

In response to specific questions raised by The Local Summit, Latimer spoke about the 2020 county budget that was approved by the county Legislature the prior evening. The budget provides a $1 million tax cut, for the first time in nine years. The county tax represents about 20 percent of a property tax bill, so there will be a small tax savings.

To achieve this reduction without reducing county services (70 percent of which are mandated by the state), the county looked for alternative revenue streams.

These included equalizing the sales tax rate to 8.375 percent, renegotiating several contracts and developing new revenue streams (with Airbnb and Con Edison).

The budget includes $10 million for land acquisition and $10 million for infrastructure so that the county can address the demand for more affordable housing. The recently released Westchester County Housing Needs Assessment Report provides extensive data that will be helpful in obtaining future grants. Latimer is taking a cooperative approach with the local governments and in January will begin regional meetings to address this issue.

Latimer explained why he submitted legislation to limit the county executive’s term to a maximum of 8 years (currently the limit is 12 years). While the county Legislature does provide checks on the executive branch, the county executive has unitary power. As Latimer stated, “restraint of pow-

er is wise” and he feels that a twoterm limit is appropriate.

The Q&A session covered a broad range of issues, including addressing the environmental priorities of his administration.

“We’ve put funding into converting to electric use vehicles (buses and county vehicles) and built vehicle charging stations on county land,” Latimer said. In addition, the county has begun several initiatives including looking for a local site for food scrap recycling, working on a solar collection plan, and aggressive tree planting on county land.

“We can only operate on local issues, the macro issue needs to be addressed by our federal government,” Latimer said.

Latimer spoke of the Immigrant Protection Act that his administration passed which ensures that if a person interacts with the county police, the police won’t turn you over to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) without a judicial warrant.

“We want our immigrant population to work with law enforce-

ment and not be fearful of them,” he said. Latimer also passed a Language Access executive order that ensures that county information is available in an individual’s native language.

The issue of the recently approved salary increases for the Legislature was raised when Latimer was asked, “Why he didn’t receive a raise in the 2020 budget?” Latimer admitted that he “didn’t raise his salary because of the optics,” but he stressed that the 2020 budget has stabilized Westchester County finances and was approved by the four Republican legislators.

This breakfast forum was hosted by the Larchmont/Mamaroneck Local Summit, an informal community council that seeks to make life better for all in the tri-municipal area. Its monthly meetings are held at the Nautilus Diner in Mamaroneck at 7:45 a.m., generally on the second Tuesday of the month. The next meeting will be on Tuesday, Jan. 14 on the topic of Community Comprehensive Plans.

American football horror story LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

I love horror movies. From artfully-done classics like “The Exorcist” to the bargain bin creature features found on streaming sites, I’ll sit through just about anything as long as it’s got a semblance of a plot and I’ve got an hour or two to kill. But my favorite horror flicks, traditionally, are of the slow burn variety; films like “Rosemary’s Baby” or “The Witch,” in which a series of innocuous—yet unsettling— events serve to ramp up the sense of foreboding and dread until the audience knows quite clearly that things are not going to end well.

And over the last few weeks, the New York Giants’ search for a new head coach has resembled nothing if not one of these movies that I know all too well.

On Tuesday morning, it was reported that the Giants had tapped Joe Judge, a 38-year-old

special teams coordinator from New England, to become the 20th head coach in franchise history.

Now, I don’t know Judge from Shinola, and he may be exactly the right guy to turn the flagging franchise around but it just seems to me as though the hiring of an unheralded, unknown coordinator is exactly the type of horror all Giants fans knew we were headed towards.

Like the first act of any horror movie, it all started out with hope. The Giants parted ways with Pat Shurmur and vowed to find a replacement who would lead Big Blue back to the playoffs, much like we would see a carefree family happily moving into a new house or a group of telegenic college students packing a van and hitting the road for a wild Spring Break.

But sure enough, the ominous signs are there from the beginning. Whether it’s the squirrely hitchhiker the teens picks up, or concerned neighbors warily eying the newcomers to the neighborhood, the first act hope is al-

ways muted by the feeling that something just isn’t quite right.

For Giant fans, that pervasive feeling came in the form of distrust in General Manager Dave Gettleman’s ability to do his job; just like an ancient burial ground, his ineptitude would be the curse to set all the future events in motion.

And one by one, the coaching candidates got picked off.

At first it was the Redskins who came for Ron Rivera, but that didn’t even make Giants fans raise an eyebrow. In terms of coaching hopefuls, Rivera was an expendable character, one that didn’t seem to figure prominently in the Giants’ plans, anyway.

But one by one, the body count piled up; any hopes of landing Mike McCarthy or Matt Rhule vanished quicker than little Carol Anne in “Poltergeist.”

And now, Giants fans are left shivering in the snow amongst the wreckage of a once proud franchise, wondering what will come for them first; the cold or the specter of another losing season.

I hate to foist this negative en-

ergy all onto Judge, however. He could turn out to be a capable coach, the hero who will exorcise the demons of the last decade or

so, and I hope against all hope that his tenure will be a successful one.

But I’ve seen this movie be-

fore. I didn’t need a reboot.

Tigers push past Panthers boys basketball non-league

TUCKAHOE 60 RYE NECK 48 RYE NECK HS

1/7/20

Game Notes: • Jack Gentry led all scorers with 25 points • Korey Greenland scored 17 for Rye Neck • Tuckahoe will play Eastchester on 1/10

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor After battling injuries and inconsistency throughout the early part of the season, it finally appears as though things are starting to fall into place for the Tuckahoe boys basketball team. On Jan. 7, the Tigers climbed above .500 for the first time in a month, posting a 60-48 road victory against Rye Neck.

Tuckahoe’s Jack Gentry hoists up a shot against Rye Neck on Jan. 7. Gentry finished with a game-high 25 points.

Jack Gentry led all scorers with 25 points, but Tuckahoe also got significant contributions from Jonathan Berger, who served as a presence in the paint and scored 10 points, and John Deane, who scored 14 points and highlighted the strength of Tuckahoe’s perimeter game.

Deane drained four of the Tigers’ eight three-point buckets on the night.

First-year head coach Felix Nicodemo said that the reigning Class C Section I champions are finally healthy and are beginning to play to form.

“This is only the second game that we’ve had the entire team together,” Nicodemo said. “One of the things we’ve keyed on to get better was running our zone offense.”

Nicodemo also credited the defense in Tuesday’s win, as Tuckahoe was able to create separation in the second quarter by keying on Rye Neck high-scorer Korey Greenland. Greenland finished with 17 points but was held scoreless in a second quarter that saw the Tigers open up a 10-point lead.

“We try to switch defenses a lot, and we went to a different zone and it ended up being ef-

fective,” Nicodemo said. “We’ve said that we want to be a defensive-minded team and that’s what we did here tonight; we focused on the defense, did the little things, and focused on the intensity.”

With the loss, Rye Neck falls to 4-4 on the year, but will look to bounce back on Jan. 10 when they take on league foe Edgemont.

Tuckahoe—which beat Yonkers Montessori Academy on Monday night—has now won back-to-back games for the first time this season, but will be in for a stiff test on Friday, when they square off against Class A Eastchester in an annual rivalry game. The Tigers will also play Class A power Byram Hills on Jan. 21 in another game that Nicodemo believes will help prepare his team for a playoff push.

“We know the potential that this team has and our goal has been to get better each game,” he said. “It’s a long season and we have a tough schedule, but I think that schedule is going to make us better game after game, practice after practice.”
