County announces $7.3M to upgrade Weaver Street Pumping Station

Following the deleterious impact that the remnants of Hurricane Ida had on our region in August of 2021, County Executive George Latimer has announced a $7.3 million upgrade to the Weaver Street Pumping Station in Larchmont.

Latimer said: “Leaving things better than we found them has been a hallmark of my Administration. We aim to leave the important facilities that keep this County running in a stronger, more resilient position for generations of Westchester residents to come.”

The Weaver Street Pumping Station was damaged during the remnants of Hurricane Ida and in response the County’s Department of Environmental Facilities, DEF, included significant flood mitigation measures in the design of these upgrades to prevent future damage, such as raising the ground floor slab and all electrical equipment above the anticipated future flood elevation.

DEF Commissioner Vincent Kopicki said: “DEF works hard each day to provide services to Westchester residents that they rely on. These upgrades will ensure we can better do the job we are tasked with completing.”

The project will also include the work typically performed in a pumping station rehabilitation project including the replacement or repair of all mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, HVAC, odor control, electrical, instrumentation, structural, and architectural systems. This includes bar screens, pumps, piping and valves, gas and fire detection equipment, odor control equipment, conduit and wire, lighting, electrical distribution equipment, the emergency generator system, control panels, floors, walls, windows and roofs.

This project is another in a line of projects undertaken by the Latimer Administration to improve the County’s aging infrastructure.

DOC swears in 16 new corrections officers

Late last month, the Westchester County Department of Correction, WCDOC, held a formal graduation and promotional ceremony for 16 new correction officers, 7 Sergeants and 2 Captains. Joining the graduating class was 1 Yonkers Detention Officer who participated in the 12-week correction officer academy training period.

The ceremony began with a call to order, opening prayer and a presentation of the colors by the Department’s Honor Guard, who entered the Westchester Community College Hankin Academic Arts Center accompanied by bagpipers and drummers of the Westchester County Emerald Society.

County Executive George Latimer said: “One of the most important functions of County government is the safe running of a correctional facility. The individuals remanded into the custody of WCDOC have arrived there for many reasons and will look to our new correction officers and supervisors as role models and mentors – a class of role models and mentors which continues WCDOC’s commitment to diversity. A full commitment to their new professions and responsibilities will directly impact the men and women in their care and help them prepare for a successful return to their communities. As demonstrated in the 2023 budget, my administration will continue to provide resources to support the advancement of our Corrections Department, its workforce and those remanded into their care and custody.”

Deputy Commissioner Michael Gerald welcomed attending dignitaries and graduating class family members. As Deputy Commissioner in charge of the training academy he said: “To support our new correction officers and supervisors, the Department has enhanced the academy training curriculum for every level of our sworn workforce. Some formal training enhancements include effective communications, more on-the-job scenario based training, debriefing modules, active shooter, use of force and De-escalation, off-site middle and senior management leadership training sessions. A special thanks to the academy staff and instructors for a job well done and to the academy class and new supervisors for the tremendous effort they put forward to complete WCDOC training requirements”.

In addressing the recruits, Correction Commissioner Joseph K. Spano reinforced that the new career as correction officers is one of the most challenging in all of law enforcement and highlighted the large number of promotions made during the past 2.5 years.

Spano stated: “I know from firsthand experience that the job of a correction officer is not easy and it will take time to adjust to a fast moving and complex environment. I also know that correction officers have one of the most important roles in criminal justice. Along with providing custody and supervision for incarcerated individuals, you have a significant role in their rehabilitation process. The extensive training you received over the last 12

weeks combined with our continuing support will help you adjust to your new profession and safely carry out your daily responsibilities in a challenging environment.”

Spano continued: “These 9 promotions brings the combined total number of promotions in the past 2.5 years to 57; 38 Sergeants, 17 Captains and 2 Assistant Wardens. Due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, many of our senior supervisors chose to retire early, leaving us with some staffing challenges. With the support of County Executive Latimer and his senior management team, we have been able to keep pace with our recent staff separations and safely meet the operational needs of our agency. Now, as newly promoted Sergeants and Captains, you have to respond by working up to our expectations and serving as strong leaders, mentors, role models and agents for positive changes. We are confident in your ability to maintain and build on the successes of our agency in the coming years”.

Commissioner Spano further noted that the Westchester Department of Correction is considered a national leader in the space, recognized for its robust rehabilitation program system and accreditation certifications through the American Correctional Association, the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare and the Prison Rape Elimination Act.

At the ceremony, Captain Patti Bhola of the Department’s Training Academy, detailed some of the unique correction officer training curriculum including implicit bias, secondary trauma, de-escalation of incidents, defensive tactics, crisis intervention and interaction with seriously mentally ill people. She also touched on the additional week of training at both the Sergeant and Captains level. Prior to the close of the ceremony, she was joined by Training Unit Sergeants Kevin Johnson and Paul Lindert, and they presented awards to members of the graduating class who distinguished themselves during the academy, including the best student, the best conditioned recruit and for leadership skills.

NRPL Foundation announces $666K bequest

On Sunday, Dec. 11 members of the New Rochelle Public Library, NRPL, Board of Trustees and NRPL Foundation gathered to announce a meaningful bequest to the NRPL by Dr. Ed Pasciuti. His generous gift of more than $666,000 will support services and programs for children and teens at the library’s main branch as well as the Huguenot Children’s Library.

To thank Pasciuti for his significant gift, trustees Corey Galloway and Rhiannon Navin and Director Tom Geoffino announced that the main library will rename the teen section on the second floor The Pasciuti Teen Center.

Pasciuti spoke about how grateful he is to have grown up in New Rochelle, with the love and guidance of his parents Jeanette and Charles Pasciuti. A product of the New Rochelle public school system, young Ed graduated from Princeton and then, as he recalled, faced an important choice: Although he had job offers that were more financially rewarding, he told his parents what he really wanted was to become a teacher – and so he did. Dr. Pasciuti went on spend 40 years as a much loved and respected teacher and guidance counselor in the New Rochelle schools.

“Meeting Ed Pasciuti was inspiring,” said Chris Selin, president of the NRPL Foundation. “He has such gratitude for growing up here in New Rochelle, and such vivid memories of going to “his” library, the Huguenot branch, which is now the Huguenot Children’s Library. It’s remarkable to meet someone with that much dedication to young people.”

Linda Kelly, former Superintendent of Schools, attended the event and remembered Pasciuti as “a brilliant guidance counselor who was beloved

by his students.” Kelly, who worked as a teacher and an administrator at New Rochelle High School before becoming the district’s superintendent, was a colleague of Pasciuti’s for 20 years and praised his “stellar reputation. Ed really cared not only about each of his counselees but about every student at New Rochelle High School as well as the entire community of New Rochelle.”

Geoffino added, “The New Rochelle Public Library applauds Dr. Ed Pasciuti ‘s life of purpose and meaning supporting the youth of New Rochelle in his career as an educator in the New Rochelle School District. We commend him for his generous gift that will continue to enhance the lives of New Rochelle children and young adults long into the future.”

County airport launches Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program

The next time you see a sunflower lanyard at Westchester County Airport, take notice. Just in time for the busy holiday travel season, Westchester County Airport is launching the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program to support passengers with hidden disabilities and accessibility needs. When travelers voluntarily choose to wear a sunflower lanyard, it is a way for them to discreetly inform others that they have a disability. The Program is designed to support all passengers who use Westchester County Airport, and ensure they have a positive travel experience.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “Just because you cannot see a person’s disability, does not mean that it doesn’t exist. It is important that we care for all of our passengers at Westchester County Airport, and in particular in this enhanced way for those with accessibility needs. The Sunflower Program will help people with hidden disabilities inform others – through the use of their lanyard – that they may need additional support services, which we are happy to provide.”

A few key points about the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program are as follows:

program at HPN. We at the TSA constantly strive to provide thorough and effective security screening at all airports in a professional and respectful manner. The use of Sunflower Lanyards will help us to better serve the needs of the traveling public by bringing to our attention those passengers who may require additional time and assistance as they pass through our security screening checkpoints.”

Director of the Westchester County Office for People with Disabilities Evan Latainer said: “Here is another example of Westchester County working with the disabled community in providing valuable resources to a customer base that utilizes everyday services here in Westchester. The Sunflower Program provides passengers who happen to need assistance a subtle way for airport staff to recognize that the wearer might need some assistance to navigate through the airport.”

• Passengers who voluntarily wear a sunflower lanyard do not need to disclose their disability.

• Wearing a sunflower lanyard will not expedite you through TSA security screening.

• Passengers are able to use their sunflower lanyards and other products at other airports and businesses that support the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower.

Airport Manager April L. Gasparri said: “Westchester County Airport community is thrilled to launch this important program. With over 750,000 departing passengers projected for this year, I’m certain we host many travelers with hidden disabilities. Inclusivity is part of our County’s fiber; it’s only natural to make it organic in an airport travel journey.”

Federal Security Director Robert Duffy said: “The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a proud supporter of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program. Today, we at the TSA are pleased to assist the leadership of the Westchester County Airport in starting this very important and highly successful

Chairperson of the Advisory Council on People with Disabilities Carin Horowitz said: “The Sunflower Lanyard Program is just one of many ways in which the Westchester County Airport is working to address the needs of people with disabilities coming through its doors. As the Chairperson of the County Executive’s Advisory Council on People with Disabilities, we are excited to propel our partnership with airport leadership to move these initiatives forward that increase accessibility and awareness at the airport.”

President and CEO of Skyqueen Enterprises Millie Becker said: “I speak from personal experience when I say The County has been a leader and a model for Autism Early Intervention. Westchester County Health professionals led our family to the resources and guidance we needed to help our son John learn and grow. As a proud member of the airport community I am grateful to the County Executive and the Airport Manager for bringing the Sunflower Lanyard Program to HPN. Traveling is a stressful experience and now families with Special Needs will know the airport has the resources and to make their experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.”

Sports world shaken by Hamlin incident

headline.

Every now and again, sports fans are given a painful reminder about just how precarious life can be, even for star athletes

On Jan. 2, viewers watched on in horror as Buffalo Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field after tackling Cincinnati wideout Tee Higgins during a highly-anticipated Monday Night Football matchup between two playoff-bound AFC teams. The resulting chaos—Hamlin lying motionless on the field as paramedics worked to revive him before shuttling him off to the hospital as the Bills and Bengals’ players watched on in stunned horror—quickly became a national

The uncertainty about updates out of Cincinnati, the outpouring of support for the 24-year-old Hamlin, and the criticism of the NFL’s misguided decision to continue the game—one that was rightfully shot down by both teams—created a swirling maelstrom of takes, both on news outlets and on social media.

Almost 48 hours later, we don’t have many answers; it appears that Hamlin’s collision with Higgins caused him to go into cardiac arrest, we don’t yet know if the young man will pull through, and we aren’t sure how—if at all—an incident like this could have been prevented.

When it comes to head injuries, it’s easy to point the finger at the NFL or football in general. Thanks to an increasing public awareness about the effects of CTE, fans are

much more cognizant about the dangers of helmet-to-helmet contact—even if the NFL has perhaps taken a step backwards on that issue this year.

But this seems to be something different; a freak incident that occurred because of the random timing and position of impact. It could have happened on a baseball field or in a hockey rink, which makes discussing how to prevent things like this from happening again a difficult decision.

The NFL deserves to shoulder some blame, of course. The league’s order to re-start the game after a lengthy delay was insensitive, irresponsible and indefensible. But does Monday night’s unfolding tragedy mean that the inherent risks of the sport, especially given the size and speed at which NFL

On Jan. 2, Buffalo’s Damar Hamlin collapsed during a Monday Night Football game, in one of the most disturbing on-field incidents in recent memory. As family, friends and fans continue to hope for Hamlin’s recovery, safety questions continue to swirl in the background.

players play it, deserve closer inspection?

Right now, our thoughts and prayers are obviously with Hamlin and his family. His well-being obviously trumps any sort of discussion about how an incident such as the one on Monday night will impact football as a sport. But it’s also impossible to ignore the fact that the fallout from Monday night

will spark a conversation about football involving fans and athletes alike.

These are questions for another day, however. For now, we just have to hope the scariest incident we’ve seen on an American sports field in years ultimately a happy ending.

Harrison earns gritty win over Sleepy Hollow

Game Notes

12/29/22

• Harrison was led by a 14 point effort from Joe Crupi

• The Huskies jumped out to a 14-0 lead

• Harrison is 3-4 heading into 2023

On Dec. 29, the Harrison boys basketball teal closed out the calendar year on a positive note, topping Sleepy Hollow 46-33. For head coach Gary Chiarella, the strong showing against the Horsemen was a testament to exactly how well the team can play when it’s locked in, but also gives the Huskies an idea of what it will need to work on in the coming weeks.

Harrison played some of their most inspired ball in the early-goings of Thursday’s contest, jumping out to a 14-0 lead over the Horsemen in the first half. Chiarella credited his team’s defensive effort with helping the Huskies establish control and score points off the visitors’ turnovers.

“That first quarter, our defense really was playing at a high level and we were able to get some steals and turn those into easy baskets,” said Chiarella. “I think a lot of that came from Jake [Cabral] who gave us a lift off

the bench there.”

Harrison—led by Joe Crupi and Matthew McCoy, who finished with 14 and 12 points on the day, respectively—would hang on to post a double-digit win, but it wasn’t a victory completely free of drama. Although the Huskies were able to keep the Horsemen at bay, they did suffer a few cold stretches from the floor that could have allowed their opponents back in the game.

“I just thought we got away from our game a little bit we got disconnected,” said Chiarella. “We just needed to take a breath and reset in the third quarter.”

Chiarella noted that his team— which improved to to 3-4 with last week’s win—has shown a lot of promise over the first seven games of the year, but will need to work on consistency. He cited the first half of the Sleepy Hollow game— along with a second half comeback against North Shore on Dec. 2—as exactly what his squad is capable of.

“We’ve had glimpses, definitely, but what they’re going to need to learn is being able to put it together for longer stretches,” said Chiarella. “You’re going to have stretches were you’re out of sync, missing free-throws, but you can’t have those kinds of lapses on the defensive end and win games.”

The Huskies will get their first taste of action on Jan. 3, after press time against Hendrick Hudson (5-2) before taking on a good Nyack team on Jan. 5. On Saturday afternoon, the Huskies will head to Rye to play the rival Garnets in the annual Mike Ice Classic.
