Moody’s assigns county Aa1 rating

Lifting Up Westchester receives $200K from KeyBank to launch career center

Lifting Up Westchester, LUW, a community-based, social ser vices agency providing life-chang ing support to Westchester Coun ty residents in crisis, announces receipt of a two-year, $200,000 charitable grant from KeyBank Foundation to launch a new Ca reer Center. The center will take a holistic approach to strengthening people’s stability and self-suf ficiency. The groundbreaking project will combine a variety of resources that will position LUW to help address a broader set of unique challenges individuals are experiencing—the employment stability and wage advancement of extremely low-income and Asset Limited, Income Constrained,

Moody’s Investors Service has assigned an Aa1 rating to Westchester County’s General Obligation Bonds—2022 Series A, 2022 Series B and 2022 Series C. The bonds have anticipated par values of $142.3 million (Series A), $27.4 million (Series B) and $71.6 million (Series C). Moody’s also affirmed the county’s Aa1 issuer rating, the Aa1 rating on the county’s outstanding general ob ligation limited tax bonds and the Aa2 appropriation lease rating.

The Aa1 rating assignment reflects the county’s diverse and resilient economy, which is highlighted by strong resident wealth, a sizeable corporate base, and healthy full value per capita. The county’s economy also continues to benefit from its proximity to New York City, which pre-pandemic, allowed it to serve as a desired hub for workers commuting into the city. Since the pandemic, the county has benefit ted from county commuters who now allocate more time working and spending within the county.

In addition, the post-pandemic changes to work patterns have further boosted the competition for housing in what was already a very competitive residential market. Though this strength will be somewhat dampened by heightened interest rates, the county’s comparative value rela tive to Manhattan will likely allow it to maintain a resilient housing market.

The rating also reflects financial performance that has continued as anticipated at the time of our last review in November 2021, when we expected balanced operations and moderate surpluses for fiscal 2021 and 2022. This expectation has been realized as a result of a combination of conservative reve nue budgeting, disciplined expen diture controls and the receipt of federal monies. Consequently, the county’s fund and cash balance ratios, while still well below the median for the sector, nonetheless reflect continued improvement and will likely remain stable in fiscal 2023.

AHA names new exec. director in Westchester, Fairfield

Amanda Palumbo, a Hudson Valley native, has been named the executive director of the American Heart Association, AHA, in West chester and Fairfield counties.

Palumbo’s primary responsibilities will include identifying, recruiting and engaging strong volunteer leadership; managing a high performing staff team and collaborating with internal and external partners to inspire involvement and shared ownership of the lifesaving work of the AHA.

“I’m excited to move my family home to New York and am deeply honored to be selected as the Executive Director that will work alongside the passionate and influential local board of directors and dedicated staff to improve health outcomes in this community,” said Palumbo.

Prior to becoming the executive director in Westchester and Fairfield counties, Palumbo was the AHA’s Executive Director in Tampa Bay, Florida. Palumbo oversaw all the revenue and health activity in the Florida market, one of AHA’s high-priority revenue markets raising more than $6 million annually.

“The American Heart Association has done some great work over its first 100 years, but we have more to do,” said Palumbo. “We need to make blood pressure management more accessible for under resourced com munity members, address food security by fo cusing on the accessibility and adaptability of nutritious foods, tackle youth vaping and join our community in overcoming the countless health issues exacerbated by COVID-19, just to name a few.”

“The American Heart Association in Westchester and Fairfield Counties is very fortunate to have drawn someone of Aman da’s caliber to our senior management team,” said Tara Comer, senior vice president of the AHA. “Her extensive experience with the American Heart Association and her passion for our cause will help steer the organization toward further success in the fight against heart disease and stroke.”

Palumbo holds a BA in Philosophy, Politics in Law from the State University of New York at Binghamton and earned her master’s degree in Media Studies and Ethics at USF St. Petersburg.

The latter part of her term as commissioner included an initiative that put Westchester County in the spotlight as Glen Island in New Rochelle became one of the first of its kind COVID-19 drive-thru testing sites and also worked with New York state to create a holdover hospital at the Westchester County Center.

“Congratulations, Commissioner O’Con nor on this outstanding achievement,” said County Executive George Latimer. “You have brought so much to the Westchester County Parks Department over your 10 plus years as Commissioner, solidifying the County as not only a great place to live - but a fantastic destination! We appreciate your continued leadership for the future.”

White Plains Hospital, Mercy College launch health care programs

White Plains Hospital has partnered with Mercy College to launch a new certification program to address critical talent gaps in the healthcare industry. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in August there were 1.6 million job openings in health care. The goal of this new partnership is to train both current and future employees for specialized jobs needed at White Plains Hospital. The hos pital has a long history of training employees for advancement in their careers. This program expands on this success and opens up addi tional opportunities for current staff as well as new employees who would enter directly into a training program.

The partnership consists of two certification programs, one in Revenue Cycle Administration and the other in Clinical Medical Assisting. The 6-week program will consist of one evening class taken each week virtually, and another on Saturdays that will be conducted in-person. The classes will run from Nov. 28 to March 4, 2023.

• Candidates for certification in Reve nue Cycle Administration, which plays a pivotal role in the financial operation of a health care

facility, will gain a critical understanding of the financial process used to manage claims pro cessing and payment.

• Candidates for certification in Clinical Medical Assisting, which blends office admin istration and clinical responsibilities such as processing patient histories and recording vital signs, learn everything from anatomy and physi ology to pharmacology and nutrition, as well as best practices for interacting with patients and other medical staff.

To be considered, interested individuals must complete an application online for one of these three positions:

• Patient Accounts Billing Representa tive (Student Program)

• Registrar, Admitting (Student Program)

• Clinical Medical Assistant (Student Program)

Candidates will be required to interview with the hospital’s HR department and department manager before being selected to participate.

“This program offers a unique opportunity for individuals who are interested in jumpstarting their careers in healthcare and for those who

are looking to learn a new skill and advance their career at White Plains Hospital,” said Di ane Woolley, senior vice president and chief hu man resources officer at White Plains Hospital.

“Mercy College’s Division of Workforce Cre dentialing and Community Impact is pleased to provide a new early career healthcare training program in Medical Assistantship and Revenue Cycle Administration for White Plains Hospital staff and others in our region. The Division’s goal is to address skills shortfalls within the regional labor force and to help prepare com munity members for gainful employment and career advancement through innovative training programs such as this,” said Mercy College President Tim Hall.

Each of the two tracks will consist of nine hours of class time per week: one weekday evening via Zoom and Saturdays in-person at Mercy College, 555 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522. Mercy will make computer labs available for participants as needed.

To learn more and/or to apply, email WPHHR@wphospital.org with the subject line “Mercy College Certificate Program Candidate.”

Employed, ALICE, individuals and people facing a variety of challenges to employment, housing, and living independently.

“Most people want to work but many have significant barriers to finding job opportuni ties. Our Center will focus on overcoming these barriers so Westchester residents can get back to work or find employment that better meets their needs. The Center will complement the existing employment pro grams in Westchester County by providing intense job readiness services that address the high barriers people with extremely low-in come face every day, said Anahaita Kotval, LUW chief executive officer. “The Center will provide access to a variety of services in one place that traditionally people have to seek from multiple agencies. For example, it is hard to look for new employment when you don’t have interview clothes, or don’t have a computer to fill out an application. We will walk hand-in-hand to help individuals get both the employment and the additional support they need for long-term stability. We are grateful that KeyBank shares our vision and has provided the funding to bring this holistic Center to fruition.”

With KeyBank’s support, LUW will build out a physical career center, hire staff, estab lish employment partnerships, and work with

the Department of Social Services and other social welfare organizations to build a pipe line to targeted populations. Its focus will be on providing job readiness and skills training, individual job coaching, and apprenticeships that lead to higher-paying jobs and employ ment advancement. The program strives to assist an estimated 175 unemployed and significantly under-employed individuals over KeyBank’s two-year funding period.

“KeyBank Foundation is committed to partnering with community organizations whose mission it is to improve the lives of disadvantaged populations in our neighbor hoods through education, workforce devel opment, and community investment,” said KeyBank Market President John Manginelli. “Employment is key to an individual’s and family’s financial stability, and we are proud to support Lifting Up Westchester’s efforts to break down the employment barriers that many in our community face.”

KeyBank Foundation grants are made under Key’s National Community Benefits Plan established in 2017, which has already delivered more than $18 billion in lending and investments across Key’s national footprint supporting affordable housing and community development projects, home, and small busi ness lending in low- and-moderate income communities, and philanthropic efforts target ed toward education, workforce development, and safe, vital neighborhoods.

A long overdue thank you

It’s honestly hard to believe that it’s the holiday season already. with fall sports—at least for the Review teams—concluded for the year and the action heating up in gymnasiums across the area, now seems as good a time as any to re flect on the things I’ve been grateful for over the first two months of the 2022-23 school year.

First and foremost, I have to ad mit that I’m grateful for the weather this fall. Covering outdoor sports in the northeast is always something of a crapshoot; you never know exactly what you’re going to get. Once you get to October, espe cially, all bets are off. You can be covering a soccer game in a t-shirt and shorts on a Wednesday only to turn around layer up for a Friday night football game that sees the temperatures plunge below 30 degrees.

This year, however, I didn’t get a taste of true cold—the kind of

cold that makes it tough to keep using a camera—until Friday night’s Class D quarterfinal game between Tuckahoe and Moriah. As for the rain, sure there were a few hic cups—such as the drenching I took during Rye’s Section I final against Somers—but even though I’m still wringing my boots out after that one, I’d have to say I got off easy.

As for storylines, they were abundant. Mamaroneck had its best football season in the section cham pionship era, making its way to its first Class AA final in school history.

Eastchester girls’ swim team went undefeated, captured a conference championship and saw its 200m Freestyle Relay team bring home a state title. We saw teams like Mamaroneck’s field hockey squad continue to excel despite a coach ing change and we saw others, like New Rochelle’s soccer team, come within a breath of taking home a Section I crown—from the eventual state champions no less—from a decided underdog position.

Overall, it was a pretty great fall. But above all the dramatic moments and terrific performances,

it was business as usual, which is something I don’t think we take for granted anymore. And that’s why this winter should be a special one.

Last year, much of the winter season was played under old mask rules, which certainly had an impact on the atmosphere. The first day

the mask mandate was removed, I remember covering a girls basket ball playoff game at Harrison High School and I marveled at how a crowd that had been invested—yet subdued—for an entire season had suddenly transformed into a raucous cheering section that gave

every possession the urgency of a make-or-break moment.

I expect to see more of that over the next few months.

And I’m certainly thankful for that.

Eastchester relay team takes gold

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

On Saturday, Nov. 18, the Eastchester girls swim team put the finishing touches on a historic sea son with two more program milestones. Competing in the NYSPHSAA State Championships at the Webster Aquatic Center in Webster NY, the Eagles placed second overall and took home a state title in the 200m Freestyle Relay event.

Competing in the 200m Freestyle Relay, Lucianna Gutierrez, Sofia Torres, Kait Sweeney and Lauren Maier le brought home Eastches ter’s first-ever team state relay crown, posting a time of 1:37.58 to best sec ond-place Victor-Bloomfield by over a second.

Coming into the event, Eastchester coach Kymani Senior had been optimistic about the team’s chanc es, given the foursome’s

improvement over the final stretch of the season.

“Once we had everyone locked into their spots, I thought we started to find that sweet spot and started to see it all come togeth er,” said Senior. “We saw them put it together at the Conference Meet and new it was going to be a tight competition at states.”

Gutierrez swam the lead off leg of the relay, posting her first sub-25.0 time on the season, something that Senior said set the tone for the rest of the squad, which was especially vital considering both Torres and Sweeney were coming off their own 500m individual races.

“A good leadoff leg is always important and then Sofia and Kait followed with sub-25 times as well,” he said. “And Lauren hammered it home as the anchor with a time of 23.6, which was awesome to see.”

Overall, the seven Eastchester state qualifiers helped the school place second overall at the event, just one more accolade in a season that saw the Eagles go undefeated during the regular season en route to capturing a conference title. For senior, a first-year head coach, the talent of the Ea gles was evident from start of the year, but it was the tenacity and single-minded ness of the club that truly set them apart.

“This has honestly been an experience I’m going to carry with me forever; from day one you could see these girls were committed to a goal and they support ed teach other all the way,” he said. “All I had to do was steward them in the right direction and prepare them for each next step because you could see that they were invested in the culture and had totally bought in.”

and sent Moriah on to the semifinals.

On Friday night, Tuck ahoe’s bid for a state title came to a heartbreaking end in Arlington, as the Tigers fell to Section 7 Moriah in the Class D quarterfinals. What started out as a rousing comeback attempt ended in shock, as a late call snuffed out the Tigers’ chances in the games final moments

After rallying back from a 20-6 deficit, Tuckahoe found itself with a chance to take the lead late after forcing a Moriah turnover and scoring on a two-yard dive by Michael Annunziata to make the score 20-19 with just 47 seconds left to play. Going for the two-point conversion—and the win—the Tigers dialed up a “Philly Special” play it had saved for this precice moment. Jason Smith took a handoff from Annunziata before tossing it back to the quarterback who found Jax Colacicco in the back of the end zone, sending Tiger players and fans into a wild celebration. But the Tigers’ celebration would be short-lived, as they were flagged for an ineligible receiver downfield on the far side of the field.

Tuckahoe was unable

to convert on the re-played down and it would be Mori ah’s turn to celebrate as they held on for the 20-19 win.

That the Tigers would even be in position to go for a win seemed like a long shot in the early-goings of the game, as they were ham strung by untimely turnovers and an inability to convert in big moments throughout the first three quarters of play. But they were able to find a second gear late in the game, scoring two touchdowns in under three minutes to climb back into contention.

Rowan Swan led the way for the Vikings, throwing for 146 yards and a touchdown, while Riley Demarais rushed for two scores and had one interception on the night. Tuckahoe’s Annunziata shook off a slow start and finished with 169 passing yards and 76 on the ground, having a hand in each of the Tigers

three scores.

The Tigers finish the season with a 9-1 record, while Moriah (8-1) will take on Section 2 champ Cam
