Latimer proposes county executive term limits

Arts explosion Westchester County joined with ArtsWestchester to announce that 48 Westchester arts organizations are the recipients of matching funds from the Art$WChallenge grant program. This program provides much-needed funding for arts and culture in the county. For more, see page 6.

County Corrections partners with Legal Aid Society The Westchester County Department of Corrections, WCDOC, has partnered with the Legal Aid Society of Westchester County on an innovative program that will work collaboratively with detainees and sentenced persons on discharge planning for successful reentry.

“This new program, along with all that our Corrections professionals have done in enhancing physical and mental health services, education, cognitive behavioral intervention therapy and addiction treatment, make our facility one of the most forward thinking correctional institutions in the Nation,” County Executive George Latimer said.The relationship between WCDOC and the Legal Aid Society of Westchester County was fostered by the work of the New York State Bar Association’s Task Force on Incarceration Release Planning and Programs. WCDOC and the Legal Aid Society of Westchester County began working on the newly established Legal Aid office in Jan-

uary of 2019. This satellite office will provide legal services and assist in the discharge planning of incarcerated clients, represented by the Legal Aid Society of Westchester County.

“Today is another historic moment for our agency,” said Joseph Spano, Department of Correction Commissioner Joseph Spano.

“This partnership provides another critical service to support the many evolving needs of the clients placed in our custody.”

Deputy Executive Director of the Legal Aid Society of Westchester County Sherry Levin Wallach said: “The Legal Aid Society is proud to be able to offer our incarcerated clients better access to justice by establishing an office in the Westchester County Jail where clients can initiate meetings with attorneys and social work staff to not only discuss their pending matters, but also receive early assistance with re-entry planning.

Thank you to the Westchester Department of Corrections for giving our clients this service and for its

commitment to providing incarcerated people better opportunities for successful re-entry.”

WCDOC identified office space that met the confidentially requirements by Legal Aid, so that clients are able to discuss their criminal cases, while at the same time WCDOC strategically located the office within the WCDOC Education Center, so that other support services related to reentry can be offered in collaboration.

WCDOC Technical Service, with the assistance from Westchester County Department of Information Technology, worked with Legal Aid Information Technology Unit to set-up and establish technology resources, so that the attorneys and social workers assigned still had access to all client information seamlessly as if they were in their central office at Legal Aid in White Plains.

Lastly, WCDOC developed a scheduling process for custodial clients to request a meeting with Legal Aid. WCDOC, with the

assistance from the Westchester County Human Rights Commission, translated Legal Aid request forms to multiple languages for non-English readers.

With the support of these other County Departments, WCDOC was able to leverage multiple County resources to allow for the logistics of this program to work—keeping costs minimal.

Follow the principle of the Latimer Administration of utilization of shared services—either intra or inter-governmental.

First Deputy Commissioner Louis A. Molina said: “Having Legal Aid Attorneys and Social Workers embedded in the jail to provide services to our shared clients is a pivotal moment and embodies how we are operationalizing criminal justice reform strategies in Westchester County.

Meaningful access to legal representation is a vital element to creating a dignity-based criminal justice system that promotes justice and hope for redemption.”

Referencing the wisdom of the Constitution, specifically the need for checks and balances on power and to create a steady, fresh supply of leaders to serve in elected offices Westchester County Executive George Latimer submitted legislation to the county Board of Legislators to reduce the existing three-term limit (12 years) for county executives enacted in 2011 in Westchester, down to two terms (eight years).

“All of our local governments follow that Revolutionary Era philosophy; restricting the reach of government,” Latimer said.

“I have been a student of government as well as a practitioner these many years, serving on three different levels: city, county and state. Now, as I begin my third year as County Executive, I see the authority granted this position—and I strongly believe it should be further limited to ensure a balance of interests are better served.”

From the Committee Report attached to local law amending Chapter 110 of the Laws of Westchester County to impose a limitation on service by a Westchester County Executive, the report outlines: “[…] term limits prevent government officials from serving for more than a specified number of terms to bring fresh perspectives to government and ensure responsiveness to voter demands. […]

Longtime office holders can often become more interested in serving their own reelection interests than serving the interests of the people they represent and challengers with new ideas are at an unfair advantage when running against incumbents with higher name recognition. Your Com-

mittee believes that restricting the service of lawmakers through term limits prevents politicians from amassing too much power and removes the intense focus on politics and places it back on policy. Term limits encourage younger, minority and other aspirants to run for office as the hurdle to defeat a well-entrenched and senior incumbent is lowered. In addition, term limits result in greater voter turnout particularly in local elections if people feel there is a real race going on and their votes can count. Your Committee believes that implementation of term limits keeps a steady, fresh supply of leaders to serve in elected offices. Many talented potential leaders will simply not run for a particular office because of the challenges and battles of running against an incumbent.”

While Latimer wants to limit the term of the county executive, he proposes no change in legislative term limits, which currently allow a maximum of service of 12 years (six terms). The new term limit, if passed, would reduce Latimer’s eligibility to run for future terms from three terms to two.

“I have included my tenure as covered within the law,” Latimer said. “Oftentimes, incumbents are ‘grandfathered’ in, meaning the restrictions apply to the next occupant of the seat. But, they will apply to me as well. Eight years is a period of time most common where Executive term limits apply, and I think it is a defensible change. The length of my tenure is up to the voters, but to limit the total years to eight makes good sense, and ensures the proper check and balance.”

Nominations needed for county public health awards The Westchester County Board of Health is now seeking nominations for the 2020 Public Health Service Awards. The board wants to recognize adults, young people and not-for-profit programs that demonstrate creativity and commitment in their efforts to improve public health in Westchester.

The board encourages community leaders, healthcare professionals, educators and residents to nominate worthy people or programs by Feb. 11 using the nomination forms at westchestergov.com/health.

“Talented and selfless people work hard every day to make our communities healthier,” said Dr. Robert Baker, president of the county Board of Health. “By nominating these volunteers for recognition, you can help inspire others to join our efforts to promote and protect public health in Westchester.”

The Dr. Harold Keltz Distin-

guished Public Health Service Award is presented annually to a person or community-based organization, whose efforts have made an extraordinary contribution to the public health of Westchester residents but who is not professionally engaged in public health work.

The J.R. Tesone Youth Public Health Service Award is an annual award to a student up to age 21 for his or her creative contribution to public health in Westchester. The award was created in 2014 in memory of J.R. Tesone, a Board of Health member with a lifelong commitment to Westchester children.

The board also will highlight the compassion, creativity and commitment demonstrated by a select group of nominees, who will be named Public Health Honorees.

These awards will be announced and presented in April to spotlight National Public Health

Week, and the honorees and their achievements will be featured on the Health Department’s web pages. Recent youthful winners have promoted youth awareness of the dangers of vaping, advocated for restrictions on tobacco sales, promoted awareness of the opioid crisis on campus or increased sustainability and Earth Day programming, advocated for children affected by cancer or created an app to foster communication between teens with Type 1 diabetes. Adult volunteers were recognized recently for promoting awareness of mental health and addiction among young people, promoting the construction and preservation of affordable housing and advocating for comprehensive mental health care for low-income residents. Non-profit programs also have been selected for their work to reduce health disparities, improve health literacy and improve access to care.

WJCS Toy Drive helps 1,300 kids Westchester Jewish Community Services, WJCS, one of the largest not-for-profit human services organizations in Westchester County, has made it an annual tradition to host a toy drive—called Have a Heart for the Holidays Drive—to provide toys for young children and gift cards for older children who live in under-resourced communities.

This year WJCS helped 1,300 children in 19 programs throughout Westchester celebrate the holidays. WJCS program directors were contacted by Rebecca Sigman, WJCS Director of Community Engagement and Government Relations, in early November, asking them to submit their requests for clients to be included in the drive.

As always, it was specified that they only request donations for their neediest clients in order to best distribute donations.

Children ages 10-18 received $25 Target gift cards and children under age 10 received developmentally appropriate toys.

There were 799 total requests with the majority of them this year being for gift cards. WJCS received 244 initial requests from programs for toys and was able to distribute hundreds more due to all the generous donations from the community.

WJCS raised a total of $13,184 in cash donations, plus $6,450 in Target gift cards. This is an increase from 2018, when WJCS received $11,887 in cash donations and $6,100 in gift cards.

Two hundreds toys were donated from the Leffell Lower School (formerly Solomon Schechter School of Westchester).

WJCS’s other community partners who were instrumental in helping to make the toy drive a success were: Cuddy

& Feder, Westchester Reform Temple, Flames of Giving, Mercer | Sirota, Temple Beth Shalom, Congregation Emanu-El of Westchester, Temple Israel Center Nursery School and Woodlands Community Temple.

Four very generous luncheon hosts—Barbara Ehudin of Rye Brook, Carol Richards Mermey of New Rochelle, Linda Plattus of Scarsdale and Wendy Sandler of Mamaroneck—asked their friends to join in the spirit of giving and raised a combined $9,300 towards this drive.

“The success of the WJCS Have a Heart for the Holidays Drive showcases the community spirit that thrives in Westchester,” said Seth Diamond, WCJS CEO. “It demonstrates that individuals, businesses, houses of worship, and other organizations truly care about their neighbors.”

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!”

Latimer announces $205K in matching

arts grants

Westchester County Executive George Latimer and the Westchester County Board of Legislators today joined with ArtsWestchester to announce that 48 Westchester arts organizations are the recipients of matching funds from the Art$WChallenge grant program. This matching grant program, made possible with $205,000 of Westchester County support, provides much-needed funding for arts and culture in Westchester County.

In total, the 48 arts organizations raised $353,189 in new

private funds through the 2019 Art$WChallenge program. Together with the matching county funds, the program successfully leveraged a total of $558,189 for arts and culture in Westchester last year.

“Since the inception of the Arts$WChallenge in 2007, this powerful public/private program has raised over $6 Million in support for Westchester’s arts and cultural sector,” Latimer said.

“In many ways, this particular matching grant program helps to strengthen the cultural infrastructure of Westchester by fueling organizations located in cities and towns across the County.”

“On behalf of ArtsWestchester, I would like to thank Westchester County and the Board of Legislators for their long-term investment in an arts program that over 13 years has paid dividends for the economy,” Janet T. Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester, said.

“With cultural visitors spending nearly twice as much as local arts attendees and with the cultural sector generating more than $172 million in economic activity annually, this grant program is great for Westchester.”

Daniel Warren celebrates its own heroes As a culminating experience to their studies in the Daniel Warren Wonder Studio on the topic of “Heroes—Real and Fantasy,” kindergarten through second-grade students and all staff members gathered in their school’s multipurpose room on Dec. 10 to celebrate their own strengths.

“Our celebration was about empowering students to see the potential they all have to be heroes in their community,” Principal Tara Goldberg said. “Each student and teacher wore their own cape, which they created and decorated with symbols that

represented their strengths and interests.”

During the assembly, members of each class marched up to the front of the room to showcase their capes to the applause of classmates and teachers.

Goldberg said the students have been exploring heroes through contemporary stories and folktales to develop an understanding of what it means to be a hero.

They looked at the virtues that heroes embody and examined symbols used on costumes and the meanings they hold. In addition, the students reflected on different

questions, such as “Why do we have heroes?” “Why are heroes important?” and “Can a kid be a superhero?”

“The students considered and wrote about ways they could use their own hero strengths for good,” librarian and media teacher Leigh Ann Kowalchick-Porphy said.

As the study came to an end, the students participated in a hero training session and worked at stations that helped develop their perseverance, trust, teamwork and problem-solving.

Westchester Parks Foundation elects new chairman Westchester Parks Foundation, WPF, the only organization dedicated exclusively to promoting and supporting Westchester County Parks, announced Seth M. Mandelbaum, managing partner with McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt, LLP in White Plains, as its new chairperson of the board of directors. Since 2015, Mandelbaum served as the WPF’s vice chairperson and has been a member of its Board of Trustees since 2011. Mandelbaum’s appointment comes after Joanne Fernandez’s announcement to step down as Chairperson after six years. Jane Solnick, Director of Public Affairs at Con Edison, will take over as WPF’s Vice Chairperson.

“What could be more important than ensuring that future generations have the chance to enjoy the more than 18,000 acres of open space in Westchester’s Parks system?’’ said Mandelbaum. “I’m excited to take on a further leadership role in an organization that has had a longstanding commitment to supporting one of the greatest assets in our community: our parks. I would

also like to thank immediate past Chairperson Joanne Fernandez for her extraordinary leadership and vision over the last six years.’’

Mandelbaum practices in the areas of land use and environmental law, alternative energy, municipal law, and not-for-profit organizations. In addition, Mandelbaum is one of only a small group of attorneys in New York to be certified by the U.S. Green Building Council as a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Accredited Professional (LEED® AP).

Joe Stout, Executive Director, Westchester Parks Foundation stated: “Westchester Parks Foundation is grateful to Joanne Fernandez for her years of service.

We are equally as privileged to have someone as dedicated as Seth Mandelbaum lead our Board for the next 3 years. Seth has been a board member for years and understands the importance of parks to the community in Westchester, and the need to advocate for and invest in them.

His dedication to our organization and commitment to West-

chester parks is unwavering.”

Mandelbaum is also a member of the Board of Directors of the Westchester County Association, where he serves on the Real Estate Task Force and is Co-Chair of the SEQRA Subcommittee.

In addition to WPF, Mandelbaum serves on the Board of Directors of the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center. Mandelbaum is a member of the New York State Bar Association, and the Westchester County Bar Association, for which he formerly served as Co-Chair of the Environmental Law Committee. In 2009, Mr. Mandelbaum was a recipient of the Business Council of Westchester “Rising Stars – 40 under 40” award.

Mandelbaum holds a J.D., cum laude, and an Environmental Law Certificate from Pace University School of Law, where he was an Articles Editor for the Pace Environmental Law Review; and a B.A. with honors from the University of Florida, where he majored in Environmental Policy.

He resides in White Plains with his wife and two daughters.

A bad sign LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

It’s been a wild few days for baseball, and it’s certainly not because of any major free agent signings.

If you’ve been out of the loop this week, there’s been a ton of commotion in the world of Major League Baseball. As the league concluded its investigation into the Houston Astros’ 2017 sign stealing scandal, the culprits are coming to life and the heads are starting to roll.

On Monday, Astros skipper AJ Hinch and General Manager Jeff Lunhow were suspended for one year by the MLB and subsequently fired by their organization. The following day, Red Sox Manager Alex Cora—a former assistant on the Astros staff who is believed to be the mastermind behind the plot—was relieved of his managerial duties even before league officials handed down punish-

ment for his involvement.

It’s probably the biggest scandal to hit baseball since the height of the steroid story, and Commissioner Rob Manfred’s response is clearly designed to assure fans that he has every thing under control. But the problem with an investigation like this is that its tendrils seem to reach everywhere, and fans are left wondering who will implicated next.

That sentiment, for now, settles around the fate of newly-hired Mets manager Carlos Beltran.

Beltran—who was a player on the 2017 Astros—escaped official punishment from Major League Baseball, despite being explicitly named in the league’s report.

It’s not surprising that Beltran wasn’t suspended, as the league opted to forgo any sort of censure of the players who were apart of this sign-stealing scheme. But his purported role in the plot means that although the MLB punted on on levying a suspension, his new employers might be forced to reconsider the matter.

So far, the Mets have been

mum on whether or not they plan to fire Beltran before their new manager even steps foot in the dugout. There are reports that team officials have been wavering on whether or not to retain his services. Fans, players and coaches have all weighed in on the situation in the last three days, and the stark contrast in opinions shows that, even when it comes to baseball’s rules, there’s an awful lot of gray area.

There have been those, like former Giants coach Tim Flannery and former Mets manager Bobby Valentine dismissed these infractions as simply “part of the game.” Some former players, like CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira were vocal in their criticism of the sign stealers. For fans, it seems as though where you stand on the suspensions aligns largely with what ballclub you happen to root for. And that’s what makes this situation so combustible and entertaining.

Personally, I can’t wait to see how this all plays out. Will there be more suspensions forthcom-

ing? Will other teams be implicated in baseball’s version of Spygate? Will we ever see Beltran don the Blue and Orange again?

All of that remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain; for once, Major League Baseball doesn’t have to worry about being back page news in January.

And that’s not necessarily a good thing.

Rye downs Huskies in OT boys basketball

league

RYE 63 HARRISON 53(OT) RYE HS

1/11/20

Game Notes: • Rye trailed by 14 points at half • James Mackle scored a game-high 21 points • The Garnets are now 9-1 on the year

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor A strong second half propelled the Garnets past the Huskies on Jan. 11, as Rye overcame a slow start to down rival Harrison 6353 in overtime. For the victors, who successfully defended the Michael Ice Jr. Memorial Trophy, the game served as an important wake-up call as the second half of the regular season continues.

James Mackle blocks a shot on Jan. 11. Mackle scored 21 points in Rye’s overtime win.

Matthew Tepedino drives along the baseline against Harrison. Tepedino and the Garnets rallied back from a 14-point deficit to beat the Huskies.

For Harrison, the game should be proof that the Huskies can contend with just about anyone in Class A. Tenacious defense and high-energy offense staked the Huskies to a commanding lead early on, prompting Rye coach John Aguilar to lift his starters in the first quarter in order to generate some momentum.

“Harrison is very well coached, we knew they had tough kids and they were going to come at us hard,” Aguilar said. “I thought my starters did a poor job coming out of the gate, in terms of having the focus they needed playing against one of the top teams in Class A.” Harrison led by 14 points at the half, but Rye stormed back after the break, fueled by a tremendous performance from center James

Mackle, who paced all scorers with 21 points and came up with a number of big stops on the other end of the court.

“James was phenomenal,” Aguilar said. “They did a great job on Quinn [Kelly] and Matthew [Tepedino] in the first half, so we made a conscious effort to get the ball inside to James and once he got going offensively, that sparked us on the defensive end as well.”

Mackle’s play was the catalyst for a second half that saw the Garnets take their first lead of the game with a 15-0 run to start the second half. The two teams battled evenly down the stretch, and regulation ended with the score knotted at 48 points apiece.

“They were playing great defense and we weren’t moving the

ball in the first half,” Mackle said.

“At halftime, coach just told us to play our game; we had to wake up.”

The Garnets dominated the overtime period, outscoring their rivals 15-5 to improve to 9-1 on the season. Mackle’s offensive outburst was balanced by 14 from Kelly and 13 from Tepedino while Harrison was paced

by Logan Wasserman’s 12-point outing.

“With the Rye-Harrison rivalry, the atmosphere and the cause, it’s just a really fun game,” Mackle said. “This win shows our tenacity; we’ve been working on conditioning all season and we knew that if we played our game, we could wear them down.”
