Latimer’s 2020 Shared Services Plan passes

And the winner is...

With convenient proximity to New York City, Westchester has become a hot destination for recent television and film productions such as Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman.” For more, see page 6.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer convened the county’s Shared Services Panel for a meeting to vote on the 2020 Westchester County-Wide Shared Services Plan. The vote was unanimous in favor of the plan’s adoption.

“Shared Services programs are here to help our local municipalities and school districts find ways to save taxpayer dollars by sharing resources, technology and areas of expertise,” Latimer said. “Westchester County is full of taxing entities, which is why my Administration feels it is so important to include all of them in our Shared Services Panel. The greater reach we have, the greater savings we can provide to hardworking Westchester County taxpayers.”

Of note in this year’s plan was the creation of the “WestchesterShares” portal, which was paid for by a grant from the New York State Department of State. This is a web-based portal that will serve as a virtual marketplace for municipalities and school districts to share services, procure goods collaboratively, and find the best pricing. It will be an opportunity to find real procurement savings

for all municipalities in Westchester. The Portal, which only allows registration by municipal officials, can be viewed at https:// westchestershares.com/.

New York State law requires the Shared Services Panel, which includes the mayor/supervisor of each municipality in Westchester County, to vote on the plan that must be submitted to the state by the end of the year. State law also enables county executives to invite the participation of school districts, which the Latimer Administration has done wholeheartedly.

“The ‘WestchesterShares’ Online Shared Services Portal is intended to streamline the purchasing process undertaken by all Westchester municipalities,” said Emily Saltzman, deputy director of Operations. “The creation of an easily accessible site on which different entities can see what equipment and services may be utilized can create significant savings.”

Lowey announces passage of $21M for Long Island Sound $7 million increase. I’m proud of this investment to protect the Sound and assist the local economy.”

Federal funding for the Environmental Protection Agency’s Long Island Sound Geographic Program is vital to the regional economy, environment and the communities that rely on it.

“This funding supports and leverages state and local projects for resilient, sustainable and environmentally just communities and provides the scientific research and data needed to effectively manage for cleaner, healthier waters,” said Mamaroneck Town Supervisor Nancy Seligson. “With

these investments, Long Island Sound, its rivers, harbors, and bays will continue to provide fishing, boating, swimming and up to $31 billion annually to the regional economy.”

The Long Island Sound Geographic Program focuses on reducing nitrogen levels in the Sound’s water and restoring the surrounding habitats. Long Island Sound has sustained a diversity of birds, wildlife and marine organisms, while also serving as a recreational magnet for tens of thousands of Americans.

More than 23 million people live within 50 miles of its shores. According to the Long Island Sound

Study, the Sound alone directly contributes $9.4 billion to the regional economy each year and provides between $17 billion and $37 billion in economic value each year.

“We only get one planet,” Lowey said. “If we don’t invest resources now to protect areas like Long Island Sound, our children and grandchildren will be left to deal with the consequences.”

Federal investments in Long Island Sound help leverage additional funding from other federal, state, local, and private partners.

This federal funding package is expected to be signed into law later this week. (Submitted)

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!”

HBMS hosts Early Childhood open house Start the New Year off right by learning all about Hoff-Barthelson Music School’s Early Childhood Program—attend an Open House on Friday, Jan. 17, 2020, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Children ages 6 months to 5 years and their adults are invited to join in the fun of a music and movement class at 10:30 a.m., followed by a brief Q&A with faculty, and a reception during which you can socialize with other families. In the event of snow, the Open House will be held the following Friday, Jan. 24, 2020 at the same time.

Weekly classes for preschoolers incorporate exercises and games that involve singing, moving, improvising and using small percussion instruments to promote keen inner hearing and rhythmic sensitivity. Props such as colorful balls, hoops, scarves and puppets animate musical concepts and engage the senses and imagination.

Even the very youngest children develop focus, spatial awareness, fine and gross motor skills, social skills, and the ability to work with others—all while having fun.

Classes are available for parents/caregivers with their children as well as in a “drop-off” format for children who enjoy attending music class indepen-dently.

Hoff-Barthelson is known for one of the largest faculties of Dalcroze trained and certified teachers in the U.S. For families interested in taking the first steps in learning to play an instrument, Piano Together (group piano classes) Little Pipers Recorder Classes, Suzuki Pre-Twinkler for Violin, and Beginning Ukulele are hands-on classes for older threes and up.

Other offerings include Petite Chorus, an introduction to the world of choral singing and Saturday Songs, a class where children ages 3 and 4 explore musical concepts. These fun, interactive and informative classes are a great way to introduce young children to musical instruction in

a social setting with other children of similar ages, and is the perfect first step to private lesson instruction as children get older.

“The classes, grouped by age, are dynamic and interactive,” said Laura Barnet, Early Childhood Music Specialist at Hoff-Barthelson. “Children love music. It is something that they can participate in at a young age; it fosters their complete development.”

State passes new gun buyback law On Wednesday, Dec. 18, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, State Sen. Shelley Mayer, County Executive George Latimer, the Yonkers Police Department and other elected officials representing the City of Yonkers, together with the family of Michael Nolan, gathered at Yonkers Police Department Headquarters to celebrate the signing of statewide gun buyback legislation based upon the successful program of the Yonkers Police Department.

S.2449/A.2685 is modeled on the successful City of Yonkers’ Gun Buyback Program, and authorizes the New York State Police to establish guidelines and regulations to encourage the creation of gun buyback programs throughout the state. The new law also creates a statewide gun buyback fund to assist municipalities

with the cost of the program.

“This statewide gun buyback program, inspired by the successful Yonkers program to get guns off of our streets, will help keep communities around New York safer,” Stewart-Cousins said.Included at the ceremony was the family of Michael Nolan who passed away on Oct. 8, 2015 after having been gunned down three weeks earlier while outside of a Burger King parking lot on Central Park Avenue in Yonkers.

Nolan was a graduate of Saunders Trades and Technical High School. A 6’ 8” left-handed pitcher and star athlete, Nolan had been drafted to play for the Oakland A’s.

“I am grateful that one of the measures that we passed this year in the state legislature was my bill to take the successful Yonkers’ Gun Buyback Program statewide,

A new state law that goes into effect in January 2020 is modeled on the city of Yonkers’ Gun Buyback Program, and authorizes the state police to establish guidelines and regulations to encourage the creation of gun buyback programs throughout New York. Contributed photo

Mayer said. “The loss of Michael Nolan was a tragedy for his family and for the City of Yonkers. I commend the Nolan family for channeling their deep grief into positive action.” (Submitted)

T

he Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s Golden Globe nominations have just been announced, and among the most celebrated films and television shows are productions that were shot right here in Westchester County.

“From period pieces to crime dramas, or comedies to political thrillers, Westchester County locations can’t be beat,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “The Golden Globe nominations shine a spotlight on our diverse locations and film-friendly climate. We congratulate all the creative talent and will be cheering them on in January.”

The Netflix drama, “The Irishman,” which follows the career of mob hitman Frank Sheeran and his relationship with union boss Jimmy Hoffa, racked up five nominations, including “Best Motion Picture,” “Best Performance by an Actor” for Al Pacino and Joe Pesci, “Best Director” for Martin Scorsese, and “Best Screenplay” for Steven Zaillian. Westchester filming locations include the city of White Plains, V.E. Macy Park in Irvington, and City Hall in Yonkers, among others.

This year’s nominees also include the acclaimed limited series “Fosse/Verdon” (FX), about the creative partnership between choreographer Bob Fosse and actress and dancer Gwen Verdon, which filmed scenes at the Performing Arts Center, Purchase College, among other locations; and “Mr. Robot”—a thriller about a young computer programmer who works

as a cybersecurity engineer by day and a vigilante hacker by night. The popular series filmed scenes at locations throughout the county, such as Kensico Dam Plaza and in the city of Rye. Not only is it exciting to see Westchester’s backdrops featured in award-winning productions, but it is also good to know that all the filming activity brings an economic benefit to the region.

Inquiries from location scouts about Westchester locations are up 28 percent, year to date, over last year, and production days are up 40 percent. In addition, revenue from film permitting at county-owned properties is up more than 70 percent.

“There is a healthy revenue stream for Westchester County and local communities, which also benefit from film and television production, from this industry that generates $30 million in economic impact in the County,” said Natasha Caputo, county Tourism & Film director.

With convenient proximity to New York City, varied landscapes and locations, and a responsive film office, Westchester has become a hot destination for recent productions, as seen in the industry’s growth this year.

“We are experiencing a film boom in Westchester County,” Latimer said. “Film is an important economic driver for Westchester County; we are committed to growing the industry here.”

The 2019 Golden Globe Awards, hosted by Ricky Gervais, will air live on NBC on Sunday, Jan. 5. (Submitted)

Rye Neck students create winter scenes on Paint Night Rye Neck Middle School students created their own winter scene masterpieces during the art department’s Paint Night event on Dec. 6.

Using a white canvas, acrylic paint and brushes, 44 students in grades 6-8 followed step-by-step instructions from art teacher Dara Goodman to complete their seasonal paintings, which included a moon and birch trees. Meanwhile, fellow art teachers Trisha Appel, Jennifer Dallow and Karen Fontecchio provided the students with personalized attention and helped them stay on task.

In addition, Rye Neck High School junior class officers Aaron Caplan, Natalie Goldberg, Gabe Miller, Anna Murphy and Katie Victory and their adviser Linette Milo volunteered to guide the middle school students throughout the evening. Junior Anna Maulucci also volunteered to assist throughout the evening. They helped with the supplies, setup, cleanup and overall organization of the event.

At the end of the night, event organizers raffled off six prizes, which included a small canvas and paints for students to continue to paint at home.

The art department’s Paint Night raised money for the high school junior class. The fundraiser is held to benefit students as they raise money for their respective classes. (Submitted)

Letters to the Editor

Do Nothing Congress 2019 To the Editor, So here we are at the end of the year and we have gotten nothing from this Congress. They have spent the entire year trying to overturn the last presidential election. Since the election didn’t go their way, they tried the Russian Delusion Collusion which ended up a disaster. Since that didn’t work, we now have the Ukraine follies. Up until September, I doubt any of them could have pointed out Ukraine on the map.

Now I know my hearing is not what it used to be, but I listened to the phone conversation between the two leaders and not once did I hear Biden’s name mentioned. The Schiff Show was a disaster with the chairman making a total fool of himself. Now we are into Part 2 of the follies and nothing has changed.

No crime! No collusion (only delusion).

With all the time these so called politicians spent on this charade, I am not sure why it is considered a full-time job.

How much of their day was spent on protecting our borders, fixing our education system and defending our law enforcement. We have out of control cities (New York, Chicago etc.…) where innocent people are being murdered. Case in point was the recent murder of a young college student. A 13 year old animal (not human) was implicated in that crime.

When New York City cops are trying to protect us, thugs are throwing water at them while they verbally disrespect them. Remember cops stand between peace and chaos. They get up every day to help and protect. Thugs get up and see where they can do harm. Maybe we should pay cops congressional salaries and the politicians should get the cops. Maybe these politicians should also walk the “beat” instead of being chauffer driven.

While this impeachment charade will run its course, America will have to put up with the show. It is like being water boarded; just a slow drip.

At the end of the day, it has always been about President Trump. They hate him, his family, his wealth and success. They hate all his achievements. Listening to the Schiffs, Schumers, Pelosis and Nadlers and so-called news media will make anyone sick. They need to get over their Trump Derangement Syndrome and start to work for us. If they don’t like it, go work for his opposition in the next election. You have about 20 clowns to choose from.

Matthew Westermann, Mamaroneck

ADVANCED HEARING AID TECHNOLOGY $ For Less Than 200

“I was amazed! Sounds I hadn’t heard in years came back to me!”

— Don W., Sherman, TX

How can a hearing aid that costs less than $200 be every bit as good as one that sells for $2,250 or more?

The answer: Although tremendous strides have been made in Advanced Hearing Aid Technology, those cost reductions have not been passed on to you. Until now...

MDHearingAid® uses the same kind of Advanced Hearing Aid Technology incorporated into hearing aids that cost thousands more at a small fraction of the price.

Over 300,000 satisfied MDHearingAid customers agree: High-quality, FDA-registered hearing aids don’t have to cost a fortune.

The fact is, you don’t need to spend thousands for a hearing aid. MDHearingAid is a medicalgrade hearing aid offering sophistication and high performance, and works right out of the box with no time-consuming “adjustment” appointments. You can contact a licensed hearing specialist conveniently online or by phone — even after your purchase at no cost. No other company provides such extensive support. Now that you know... why pay more?

Can a Hearing Aid Delay or Prevent Alzheimer’s and Dementia?

A study by the National Institute on Aging suggests older individuals with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer’s and dementia over time than those who retain their hearing. They suggest that an intervention — such as a hearing aid — could delay or prevent this by improving hearing!

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR

45-DAY RISK-FREE TRIAL!

Hearing is believing and we invite you to try this nearly invisible hearing aid with no annoying whistling or background noise for yourself. If you are not completely satisfied with your MDHearingAid, return it within 45 days for a FULL REFUND.

Lo-going the distance LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

On Dec. 18, Gerrit Cole was officially welcomed to the New York Yankees at an introductory press conference to celebrate the Yanks’ biggest free agent signing of the offseason. And while the event gave New York fans their first chance to see the righthander in pinstripes, it also served as an introduction for something that baseball fans aren’t quite as excited to see; the Nike Swoosh on the Yankees’ uniform.

For generations, the Yankees’ uniform has been one of the most iconic in sports. The simplicity and austerity of the pinstripes was a constant; the Yanks rarely modified their look, and when they did, the changes were minimal; there was no effort to push the organization into the same sort of garish duds that many teams adopted throughout the years—especially in the late 1990s. Fans of

the team took the organization’s unwillingness to change the look as a sign of pride; as some sort of connection to the storied history of the franchise.

So it’s no surprise that this little Nike logo on the right breast of the uniform has traditionalists in a tizzy this week. Even though I don’t root for the Yankees, I’ve always appreciated their respect for tradition.

That being said, I just don’t understand what all the fuss is about.

It’s only a matter of time before advertisements and company logos find their way onto all uniforms in American sports. It’s common practice around the world to adorn ingame jerseys with sponsors’ names, and, quite frankly, I’m surprised it’s taken as long as it has for this movement to catch on, stateside.

Over the last few years, NBA teams have taken the advertising plunge, NFL squads seem to be headed in that direction; so it seems inevitable that baseball will be the next domino to fall. But assuming the logos are relatively unobtrusive, I fail to see the harm.

Sure, it might be troubling if

fans in the Bronx were suddenly asked to root for the Waffle House Yankees, brought to you by Home Depot, but that doesn’t seem to be the case—at least so far.

As concerned as Yankee fans might be about allowing Nike— the manufacturer of their uniforms—to take up valuable space on the jersey, I think this outrage is ultimately much ado about nothing. Nobody will notice the Swoosh while watching the games, and it certainly won’t affect the product the Bombers put On Dec. 18, the Yankees introduced Gerrit Cole—and a Nike logo on their uniforms. Fans are concerned that Nike’s presence will somehow take away from the team’s rich history. Photo courtesy Wikipedia.org out on the field.

So let’s relax about Nike for the time being; the times may be a-changing, but this isn’t going to ruin your summer. Besides, it could always be worse; I hear the Mets are in talks with Roto-Rooter.

Young Huskies top Rye WRESTLING

league

HARRISON 60 RYE 30 12/7/19

RYE HS

Game Notes: • Lightning Roggero is Harrison’s lone senior • Tyler Joseph’s win over Romeo Malta put him at 8-0 on the season • The Huskies will compete in the Scarsdale Tournament on 1/4

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor The Harrison wrestling team might lack experience this year, but that certainly doesn’t mean that the Huskies lack ability. On Dec. 12, Harrison hosted rival Rye, topping the Garnets 60-30 as the squad’s young grapplers continue to make strides.

After graduating 12 seniors from last year’s team, Harrison’s youth movement is firmly afoot, as the team boasts just one senior on the roster this year in 160-pounder Lightning Roggero. On Thursday, Rog-

Lightning Roggero works against Rye’s Tommy DeCaro on Dec. 12.

Tyler Joseph scores a pinfall victory over Romeo Malta on Dec. 12. Joseph earned his 150th career win earlier this season.

gero earned a decisive pinfall win over Rye’s Tommy DeCaro as he continues to offer veteran leadership on a squad laden with youngsters.

“We really have a young group, a lot of brand new guys in the lineup, and it’s been challenging because we lost two assistant coaches from last year who have moved on to other endeavors,” head coach Vin Nicita said. “But the kids all work really hard and I think by the end of the season, you are going to see the progress they have made.”

In addition to Roggero, Nicita has also been reliant on junior 152-pounder Tyler Joseph, who has established himself as one of the most accomplished wrestlers in the program’s history after winning his 150th career match earlier in the season. Against the Garnets, Joseph managed a pinfall victory in just under a minute to help pave the way for the Huskies’ win.

“Tyler is really the leader on the team, and a lot of the guys really look to him to show them what they’re supposed to do,” Nicita said. “He’s only a junior,

but this is really his team.”

Nicita is also hoping for big things from grapplers like Vito DeFonce, Giancarlo Zabniak, David Crozier and Filipe Couto, all of whom picked up wins last week against Rye. With the second half of the season approaching, the Huskies will set their sights on a few upcoming tournaments that should showcase both the team and certain individuals. The squad will take part in the annual Port Chester Tournament this weekend, squaring off against top teams like Fox Lane and Section IX Monroe-Woodbury.

In January, Tyler Joseph will be competing at both the Shoreline Classic at New Rochelle High School and the prestigious Eastern States while the rest of the team will be in action at the annual Scarsdale Tournament on Jan. 4.

On Jan. 9, the Huskies will host Brewster for a Pin Cancer Meet that will raise money for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
