Hochul inks violent crimes against police legislation

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation Friday to crack down on violent crimes against police officers. The legislation will establish a Blue Alert system to aid in the identification, location, and apprehension of individuals suspecting of killing or seriously wounding a police officer. By creating a better way to disseminate information to the public on violent crimes against law enforcement, this new law will help catch perpetrators and improve public safety across the state.

“We are taking a comprehensive approach towards protecting the individuals who serve and protect us, taking every measure we can to crack down on violent crime against law enforcement,” Hochul said. “New York is wholly committed to safeguarding our brothers and sisters in law enforcement and this new law will be crucial to creating safer communities and apprehending those who commit violent

crimes against police officers.”

Legislation (S.772A/A.6318B) establishes a Blue Alert system to aid in the identification, location, and apprehension of individuals suspected of killing or seriously wounding a police officer. A Blue Alert is issued to notify law enforcement agencies, media, and the public about suspects who have killed, seriously injured, or pose an imminent threat to police. Creating a Blue Alert system will help catch perpetrators that threaten public safety by establishing a better way to disseminate information on crime against police officers to the public.

New York State Police Acting Superintendent Steven A. Nigrelli said, “Law enforcement is known for being a dangerous profession. However, officers chose this profession because they believe in public service, helping others and putting the public ahead of themselves. Each call to service

brings its own set of challenges and officers never know for certain what they will face. By establishing a Blue Alert system, we can better protect law enforcement from individuals who are looking to inflict harm on officers that have committed their lives to protecting others.”

“I was proud to sponsor and pass this critically important legislation in support of the brave men and women of law enforcement, who sacrifice so much to keep all of us safe,” said state Assemblymember Steve Stern. “The Blue Alert System has a proven track record of success nationwide and its implementation is long overdue in New York State. This legislation will protect our community, protect our officers, and save lives. I thank my colleagues in the Legislature for unanimously supporting this legislative initiative and Governor Hochul for signing it into law.”

“Beer Brewing 101: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide” will take place at the Fordham Westchester campus in West Harrison on Feb. 25. “Practical Brewing (Intermediate/Advanced)” is a three-part program that will take place at Broken Bow Brewery in Tuckahoe in March.

For those who have thought about making their own beer but don’t know where to start, Beer Brewing 101 will provide an introduction to home brewing. Students will learn about the different beer styles and the ingredients needed, plus get a walkthrough of the step-by-step process of extract brewing in a friendly, handson format. The class is taught by John Fix, a home brewer with nearly 30 years of experience, and no equipment is necessary and the two-and-a-half-hour course is $80. The Brewshop at Cornell’s in Eastchester, which Fix created, will offer a discount for students who need home equipment to hit the ground running.

“This is a great introduction to what may become a lifelong hobby, or even a career in the booming craft beverage industry,” said Fix. “And at an affordable price, the course makes a great holiday gift!”

The Practical Brewing pro-

gram is designed for people who have experience home brewing or for those who have worked in a brewery and want to advance. Students will benefit from a deep dive into the ingredients, process, and subtleties in the craft of brewing beer. Upon completion of the three-class course, students will better understand the brewing’s chemical process, ingredient profiles, and flavor characteristics, plus how to avoid the most common pitfalls. Students will create their own craft beer using the all-grain method, under the instruction of the president and head brewers at Broken Bow Brewery, receiving expert advice on perfecting its flavor. No equipment is needed, with class demonstrations using a professional pilot system. The eight-hour (over three sessions) course is $550.

“We’re so excited to partner with Fordham to share the all-grain brewing method with hobbyists,” said Michael LaMothe, president and founder of Broken Bow Brewery. “It’s the purest form of beer-making and the method by which you can greatly influence the outcome of the finished product – the perfect beer.”

“Fordham built this program to complement growing interests in brewing, sparked by the delicious beer being crafted locally,” said Dr. Anthony R. Davidson, dean of Fordham PCS. “Working with a community of local brewers to offer these courses has been an absolute pleasure, and I’m eager to see where the Brewing Institute goes from here!”

TOBACCO COMPANIES ARE TARGETING

AG James secures $200K from Herff Jones for data breach

New York Attorney General Letitia James secured on Friday $200,000 from student cap and gown producer, Herff Jones, for failing to protect consumers’ personal information. In April 2021, a data breach exposed the credit card information of thousands of Herff Jones consumers, including more than 40,000 New Yorkers, the majority of whom were students. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General, OAG, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office revealed that Herff Jones failed to properly employ reasonable data security measures to protect consumers’ information at the time of the breach. As a result of Friday’s agreement, Herff Jones must pay a $200,000 penalty both to New York and Pennsylvania and strengthen its online data security.

“Herff Jones turned milestones into mayhem for thousands of students whose personal information was stolen online because of poor data security measures,” said James. “Consumers who bought class rings and other graduation tokens had their personal information end up in the wrong hands. Companies have an obligation to prioritize their customers’ digital data safety and this agreement will require Herff Jones to strengthen its data security measures. I thank Pennsylvania Attorney General Shapiro for his collaboration in this effort.”

“Protecting Pennsylvanians’ personal information and financial data is a key priority of my office,” said Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro. “Every corporation that does business in Pennsylvania needs to stay alert and protect their customer’s personal data or they will have to answer to my office

in court. The terms of today’s settlement will help Herff Jones graduate to better protection of consumers’ personal information.”

Herff Jones is a producer and seller of yearbooks, class rings, caps and gowns, and other graduation memorabilia. In April 2021, the company was notified by one of its payment processors that a number of cards tracing back to Herff Jones were found on three different websites known to sell stolen payment card data. A forensic investigation revealed that on Dec. 15, 2020, an unknown hacker exploited a vulnerability in Herff Jones’ web servers that allowed the hacker to steal more than 206,000 customers’ payment card information and other personal information, of which 49,228 were New York residents.

Herff Jones told its customers that it maintained administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect against the loss, misuse, and/or alteration of their information. However, the OAG investigation discovered that Herff Jones was not in compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, PCI DSS, requirements.

This agreement is the latest in James’ ongoing efforts to protect consumers and hold companies accountable for poor or misleading data security measures. In November, James and a multistate coalition obtained a record $391.5 million from Google for misleading millions of users about their location data tracking. In October, she secured $1.9 million from e-commerce SHEIN owner for failing to protect consumers’ data. In June, James also recovered $1.25 million for consumers affected by Carnival cruise line’s data breach.

Student cap and gown producer, Herff Jones agreed to pay $200,00 for failing to protect consumers’ personal information. In April 2021, a data breach exposed the credit card information of thousands of Herff Jones consumers, including more than 40,000 New Yorkers.

State grants $24.3 for park, nonprofit improvements

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Friday $24.3 million has been awarded to support 56 municipalities and not-for-profit organizations for park improvements, heritage area enhancements and historic preservation projects through Round XII of the Regional Economic Development Council Initiative. The grants from the Environmental Protection Fund are administered by the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

“Communities across our great state have felt and will continue to enjoy the benefits of these grants that will go towards improving quality of life, promoting tourism, and restoring local landmarks and waterfronts,” Hochul said. “These grants underscore our commitment to investing in regional strengths to transform our communities into places where people live, work, and will visit for generations to come.”

“The Regional Economic Development Council initiative continues to generate new opportunities, investments, and economic development in New York State,” said Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado. “Building a stronger New York means investing in regional priorities like parks and heritage areas that support community development efforts. Congratulations to these recipients from 32 counties across the Empire State.”

The Environmental Protection Fund, EPF,

Grant Program for Parks, Heritage and Preservation supports matching grants for the acquisition, planning, development, and improvement of parks, historic properties, and heritage areas located within New York. Funds are awarded to municipalities or not-for-profits with an ownership interest.

Funding for this program was included in Round XII of the Regional Economic Development Council, REDC, Initiative. The REDC process continues to support and empower regional stakeholders in developing strategic plans and funding priorities that meet local economic needs. Regional Councils reviewed projects from this program and provided scores that reflect how well a project aligns with a region’s goals and strategies. Applicants utilized New York’s Consolidated Funding Application, the state’s single application for state resources, which includes programs from numerous agencies. It is designed to provide expedited and streamlined access to a combined pool of grant funds and tax credits from dozens of existing programs.

Erik Kulleseid, commissioner of the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, said, “These grants will help enhance the environment, expand access to outdoor recreation, celebrate our diverse culture and improve the economic vitality of communities from one end of the state

to another. Our agency looks forward to working with the grant recipients to make these exciting projects a success.”

Several of the projects included in the funding were earmarked for Westchester County, including:

An amount of $225,000 awarded to Standard Amusements for marketing the historic amusement park Playland. Standard Amusements will complete a marketing campaign to attract visitors to Playland Amusement Park as a unique destination for outdoor recreation. Funding efforts will allow Playland to market beyond traditional channels throughout New York state.

Historic Hudson Valley was awarded $421,000 to host their Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze events in Nassau and Westchester counties by using targeted marketing strategies that include enhanced production technology for experiential events. Elevating both Blazes to new levels of production innovation will offer incentive for repeat visitors from both within and outside New York state.

And the city of New Rochelle received $500,000 to begin the transformation of Hudson Park, an underutilized waterfront park located at the south end of the city, by rehabilitating the waterfront promenade and boardwalk as well as the sundeck and pier.

Standard Amusements, the entity in charge of managing Playland Park in Rye, was granted $225,000 by New York state to aid in marketing efforts.

Songcatchers appoints new

executive director, Jennifer Lanser

The Songcatchers Board of Directors has named Jennifer Lanser the new executive director of Songcatchers, Inc.

“I look forward to continuing the dedication of Angela Belsole, former Interim Director, and the legacy of Sr. Beth Dowd, an Ursuline Sister who sought to reach peace in our community through music,” said Lanser. “I am overjoyed to begin serving my hometown again; expanding and enriching the Songcatchers mission and vision.”

Lanser’s background as past executive director of the New Rochelle Chamber of Commerce, along with her most recent position as director of development and communications for the Ursulines of the Eastern Province, will help to advance the mission of the organization that has served as an anchor for families in New Rochelle for over 40 years.

“We are so excited to have such an experienced and caring professional who

shares in the spirit of Songcatchers and believes strongly in our mission,” says Karenann Carty, Songcatchers president. “Jennifer is well-respected in the New Rochelle community and is perfectly suited to leading our organization forward. We are confident that she will make a positive impact on our programs, our Songcatchers family, and our community.”

Starting this month, Lanser will manage day-to-day operations, lead fundraising, marketing and community initiatives, and lead the search for finding Songcatchers’ new home. Lanser succeeds Interim Director Angela M. Belsole, long-time supporter and former president of the Board of Directors, who assumed the role in October 2018.

“I am thrilled to pass the reigns to Jennifer Lanser,” said Belsole. “I am certain that we have found the right person to work collaboratively with the staff and board to continuously improve our programs and services, enhance our facilities and technological capabilities, and broaden our community reach.”

Realignment and restructuring

It seems odd to say, but even before league play begins in earnest this January, I already feel wistful about losing what will amount to a number of exciting rivalries—both basketball and otherwise—that will be torn asunder next year due to the reclassification of teams in New York State.

There’s going to be a lot of change next year with the NYSPHSAA’s new classification system. While it’s too comprehensive to get into here, suffice it to say that Section I is going to look a lot different in the coming years. Depending on the sports, we’ll see mainstays in certain classifications moving up or down, depending on enrollment, upending the normal order of things. Smaller Class A football powers like Rye will find themselves playing (mostly) Class B schedules next year, while larger Class

A hoops squads will have to test their mettle against traditional AA powers. Leagues that have been in existence for years—at least as long as I’ve been working at the paper—will be reshuffled, and we’ll all be force to get used to a “new normal.”

Which is not to say this is necessarily a bad thing; we’ve seen teams move up and down in class before, and eventually those new homes just start to feel right. But it will take some time for people who have been following these teams for upwards of a decade; change can be unsettling, after all, especially for older people—such as yours truly—who get set in their ways.

Kids, on the other hand, are much more adaptable. By the middle of the fall season next year, one can only assume they’ll be locked into their new current situations, hardly giving a through to how things were run in previous years. As long as certain games remain scheduled outside of the traditional class and league

structure—such as ‘The Game’ between Harrison and Rye—will our student-athletes give these shake-ups more than a passing thought?

Like many things these days, we’re going to have to take a “wait and see” approach. These new classifications may be a godsend; they might level the playing field, so to speak, and allow for competitive games to be played across all school sizes in New York State. At the same time, they may put some of these programs— especially those being force to play against larger schools—in tough position, where it will take time to adjust to playing against new opponents.

In the meantime, what is there to do? Not much, really. We can simply chug along this year and appreciate the current system for what it is. It reminds me in many ways of the shifts in NCAA conferences, most notably how the Big East was—for many years— decimated when several larger schools left the traditional hoops

heavy conference to seek glory— and money—in the football sphere.

It pained me in many ways to see these traditional rivalries fall by the wayside in the name of progress, but now, it’s just the way things

are. With this, too, we will get there. It just may take a little time.

Rye rolls against Mamaroneck

@ Game Notes

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

Thursday’s matchup between perennial Section I powers Rye and Mamaroneck may not have had the same drama area fans might be used to based on contests between the two programs in recent years, but for Rye, a decisive win over the Tigers was just one more sign that the Garnets may be for real this year. Pouring on the goals in a 9-1 victory over the visiting Tigers last week, the Garnets issued a statement that, despite a handful of new faces, they may still be one of the top teams in Division II.

Henry Bagley recorded a hat-trick to lead the Garnets, who did not allow a Mamaroneck goal until midway though the third period. Although Rye fared well against last year’s Division I runners-up in a pre-season scrimmage, head coach Peter Thomas said his team

came into the game knowing full well that the Tigers would be a tough challenge for the untested Garnets.

“We saw them a few weeks ago and played well, but we know Mamaroneck is always tough,” said Thomas. “No matter what their record is, any Mike Chiapparelli-coached team is going to hustle and they’re

going to play hard, so we just had to make sure we played our game.”

That win improved the Garnets record to 5-0 on the year—they subsequently fell to Beekmantown during an upstate trip—and Thomas said he’s been pleased with the way his team has come out this winter after losing the bulk to last year’s con -

tributors to graduation.”

Any time you lose 14 contributors, you’re never quite sure how you’re going to look the next year,” said Thomas. “But in getting the chance to work with these guys, I could see it was a very coachable group; once I saw that, I started to feel really good about what this team could do.”

The Garnets improved their record to 6-1 over the weekend, finishing up their trip with a 17-2 win over Northeastern Clinton High School. They will look to continue their dominance against Section I teams this week when they take on Horace Greeley and Clarkstown. Mamaroneck—which lost its first four games of

the season picked up its first victory with a 2-0 win over Ithaca on Dec. 17. They will take on defending state champion Pelham on Dec. 23 at Hommocks. Pelham currently sports a 2-2 record and is coming off an 8-2 win over Greeley.
