Tips for a safer, greener holiday
Con Edison wishes New Yorkers joy and peace this season and reminds them to keep safety at the top of their holiday list by using approved LED lights and products and carefully following instructions for their use and display.
Use only Underwriters Laboratory, UL, approved lights, decorations and products. The label means the product has undergone evaluation by a recognized product safety organization. LED lights and decorations make the holiday even greener because they use significantly less energy than traditional bulbs—reducing the carbon footprint and usage cost. Electrical distribution or lighting equipment accounts for 44 percent of home Christmas tree fires, according to a recent study conducted by the National Fire Protection Association. (Submitted)
These simple safety tips will help protect your loved ones from the risk of shock or fire, minimize your electricity bill, and reduce your environmental footprint: • Look for the UL label and carefully read instructions on your lights and other devices. • Do not use inside lights outside. • Check electric cords for worn spots or fraying. Replace cords that are worn or frayed. • Don’t place electric cords under carpets or furniture. • Never attempt to retrieve an electrical product that has fallen in water. • Never staple or nail cords to walls or baseboards. • Don’t overload outlets or powers strips. Overheated wires can start fires. • Never remove the third prong from a plug to make it fit a two-prong outlet.
Control the costs of holiday lighting displays with these simple steps: • Replace old lights with LEDs. • Use automatic timers to turn lights on in the evening and off at midnight, instead of leaving them on overnight. • Look for the Energy Star label on lighting and any electronics or appliances you buy as gifts. These models meet stricter standards and can dramatically reduce energy usage compared to standard models. • Use power strips. To save energy, shut off the strip when the appliances are not used.
BOL passes 2020 county budgets On Monday, Dec. 9, the Westchester County Board of Legislators voted 15-1 to pass the county’s 2020 operating, capital and special districts budgets. The $2.1 billion operating budget, which includes a $1 million cut to the county property tax levy, continues work begun last year to strengthen the county’s finances. The 2020 budget uses no oneshot revenues and contains no borrowing to fund operating expenses. It also adds $10 million to the county’s fund balance. 2020 will be the second year in a row that the county has added to its rainy day funds, after years of declines under the prior administration. Rebuilding the county’s fund balance is essential to protecting the county for the future and improving the county’s credit rating, which keeps county borrowing costs low. “We began the legislative term with a goal of stabilizing the county’s finances while continuing to provide essential services to the people of Westchester,” said Board Chairman Ben Boykin. “Today we’re passing budgets that do just that—reducing the property tax levy, replenishing the County’s fund balance, providing new revenue to local municipalities and school districts, investing in our children, and enhancing services for the people of Westchester.” The budget strengthens crucial services for Westchester families, especially in the area of child care, including increased support for the county’s Invest in Kids programs. There’s also more funding for nonprofit organizations which provide early childhood support programs. The budget also includes an increase in the reimbursement rate paid to child care providers, to make it easier for parents to find affordable, high quality child care and easier for providers to recruit and retain qualified workers who are being lost to higher paying jobs in other areas, like New York City. The 2020 operating budget also increases money available for
2020 COUNTY BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS • $1M reduction in county property tax levy • $10M in new contributions to fund balance • No borrowing to fund operating expenses; no use of one-shot revenues • Increased support for child care & domestic violence survivors • Continued support for public safety & first responders • $20M in new funding for affordable housing • Funding to speed repairs to roads, bridges & parks
eviction prevention programs, expanding legal help for those facing eviction in Yonkers, and extending that support to Mount Vernon, Ossining and Peekskill. The programs help people remain in their homes, saving the county millions of dollars annually by keeping families out of the shelter system. There’s also additional help for legal services for domestic violence survivors and for community health centers and criminal justice reform. The capital budget commits $20 million to county funds that support the creation of new units of affordable housing. It also continues efforts begun last year to accelerate long-lingering projects needed to repair and improve county roads, bridges, parks, and refuse and wastewater treatment facilities. Among other efforts, these include commitments to renovate Memorial Field in Mount Vernon and reconstruct the South County Trailway. “I’m pleased that we’ve been able to cut the county property tax levy and put money into the county’s reserves, while increasing the commitment to our nonprofit, community-based partners,” said Majority Leader Catherine Parker. “These organizations provide cost-effective, indispensable support to working people in Westchester in areas of health care, domestic violence support, the arts, and especially affordable, high-quality child care, which is the foundation on which Westchester’s future will be built.” (Submitted)

County Youth Bureau seeks applicants for state council The Westchester County Youth Bureau is seeking young people ages 13 to 21 to represent Westchester County on the new New York State Governor’s Youth Council. Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced that he is establishing this Youth Council which will be comprised of one representative from each county in the state—totaling 62 members. Members of the Governor’s Youth Council will provide recommendations to the governor and other policymakers on many different issues, including: • Education • Cyberbullying • Cultural diversity • Youth violence • Alcohol and other drugs such as tobacco, vape and opioids • Juvenile justice • Environmental justice • Matters concerning young women and girls, including sexual assault and harassment, female empowerment • Civic engagement • Economic opportunity and wage parity
“Westchester County is home to young people who are extremely diligent and passionate about societal issues and have already begun to make changes at the local level,” said County Executive George Latimer. “To have the opportunity to participate on a statewide task force, travel to Albany and focus on specific policy issues will be a worthwhile experience that will benefit us all.” The Youth Bureau will search far and wide for applicants. Three applicants will be selected to advance to the final selection process in Albany, where one youth will be selected. Once selected, the Youth Council will convene in Albany for orientation and training and will then be divided into regional teams to focus on specific policy issues. “This is a unique opportunity for Westchester’s critical thinkers and youth leaders to lend their passion and talent on social issues that have already been demonstrated locally to a regional and statewide platform,”
said Dr. DaMia Harris-Madden, county Youth Bureau director. “I am particularly excited that the Westchester County Youth Bureau has been tasked to manage the recruitment and selection process, but most notably interface with youth who are interested in furthering their advocacy and leadership skills.” Interested youth should submit an application by Dec. 23, through the online portal available at https://nysylc.secure-platform.com/a/. The application includes an essay and a video demonstrating their interest in one of the council’s focus areas. Candidates will be selected on their character, leadership skills, academic achievement, civic engagement, and service to their community. Please see the attached New York State Youth Council Guidance Document for further information. Please contact the Westchester County Youth Bureau at wcyb@westchestergov.com or 995-2745 with questions. (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.

The Holiday Gift and Toy Drive, which is being run through the Department of Social Services, DSS, takes place each year to ensure that every child in Westchester County has a gift to open for the holidays. “The holidays are a great time of year to be thankful for the things you have, and to find was to help those who are less fortunate,” Latimer said. “The Holiday Gift and Toy Drive is a perfect way to bring holiday cheer to kids in need. I am encouraging everyone who can to please find it in their hearts to donate, and help brighten a child’s holiday this season.” DSS is also accepting gift cards and monetary donations, in addition to new, unwrapped gifts. Toys and gifts are requested for a variety of ages, from newborn up to age 21. No stuffed animals

Cole in their stockings LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
It may have been a while since we heard from them, but after this week’s hot stove news, one thing is clear; the Evil Empire is back. On Tuesday, Dec. 10 the New York Yankees made an enormous splash on the free agent market when they agreed to terms with reigning American League ERA leader Gerrit Cole. The 29-year old right-hander is one of the best pitchers in the game right now, giving the Yanks a true top of the rotation arm and completely shifting the balance of power in the American League. But beyond the practical ramifications of the signing—and its immediate and deleterious effect on my Red Sox—I have to say, I’m excited about the move for one simple reason: this is becoming the kind of Yankees team I grew up hating. In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, the Yanks truly lived up
to their nickname of ‘the Evil Empire,” signing high-priced free agent after high-priced free agent, outspending their competitors by a wide margin and generally treating cash-strapped Major League teams as if they were another extension of their farm system. In short, their wanton spending made it easy for opposing fans to look at their payroll with great disdain. But over the last decade and a half, Yankee GM Brian Cashman has exerted more control over the team and changed the way the Bombers operate. Sure, they still spend a lot of money—their $206 million payroll was third among all MLB teams— but Cashman has devoted considerable energy to revamping the farm system and developing its own players. Sure, the Yanks have traded for some big name stars like Giancarlo Stanton, but the core of the team over the last several years has been comprised of homegrown talent like Aaron Judge, Luis Severino and Gary Sanchez. Even though I still maintained a deep antipathy for the Yankees
over the years, I found it difficult to dismiss the success they have had as simply a byproduct of their deep pockets. This Cole deal, however, will see the Yankees pay the righty $324 million over the next nine years, an astounding contract anyway you want to slice it. I’m sure the organization will look to cut costs in other ways, perhaps by trading JA Happ or Stanton, but the message was clear nonetheless; the Yanks targeted a player they saw as essential to their success and threw enough money at him until he decided to sign. They refused to be outbid on Cole, something that reflects the old George Steinbrenner school of thinking more than it jibes with the more thoughtful approach to free agency that Cashman has preferred. Will the move pay off in the Bronx? That remains to be seen. But if the Yankees ultimate goal was drawing the ire of the rest of the league, I’d have to say they have accomplished their mission.

Garnets win Clinton Classic boys basktball non-league
RYE 65 CLARKSTOWN SOUTH 37 12/7/19
RYE HS
Game Notes: • Rye outscored Clarkstown 34-17 in the 2nd half • Rafael Velazquez led with 15 points • The Garnets will play Harrison on 12/12 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor The Rye Garnets may not yet be at full strength, but that certainly hasn’t slowed them down in the early stages of the season. On Dec. 7, the Garnets earned a 65-37 victory over Clarkstown South to win the annual Cliff Clinton Classic and improve to 3-0 on the year. Rye mounted an impressive second half against Clarkstown South on Saturday, outscoring the Vikings 34-17 over the final 24 minutes of regulation to claim the tournament crown. Through the first three games of the season, Rye has been particularly tough in the back ends of games, something head coach John Aguilar attributes to the fact that his players are still getting comfortable play-

ing with one another. “A big part of it is that we’ve really only had two weeks of practice as a team with so many
guys [missing time] being a part of the football team,” Aguilar said. “We’re still feeling each other out, trying to learn each other’s

tendencies and learning how to play together.” Against Clarkstown, the Garnets were led by senior Quinn Kelly, who scored 13 points and grabbed four rebounds en route to being named tournament MVP. But Rye also got a significant contribution from All-Tournament selection Rafael Velazquez (15 points, six rebounds) who has been especially important as Rye waits for the return of standout guard Matt Tepedino who is currently sidelined with an injury. “Rafael has been the biggest surprise, especially according to outsiders,” Aguilar said. “I always expected him to play well, we’ve been building him up for the last six months, and he’s really stepped up and given this team a lift.” Although Aguilar has been happy with the way the team has played thus far, he acknowledges that the team needs to get better in a few areas, most notably on the defensive end.
“Our defensive rebounding has to improve dramatically, a lot of the guys are still trying to figure out how to use their bodies,” he said. “And with our rotations on defense, we need to step up and take more charges.” The Garnets will get their first taste of league action on Thursday, when they take on rival Harrison in the first round of the Huskies’ Holiday Tournament on Dec. 12. Although Aguilar is confident in his team’s ability to compete this year, he acknowledges that they will face stiff competition if they hope to vie for a league title. “I think with Quinn and Matt together, we are going to have the most dynamic back court in the league, but it’s always tough,” he said. “Eastchester likes to run up and down, Harrison is always tough, and Byram Hills looks like it could be the team to beat right now.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
