County employees host humanitarian drive to help victims of Ukraine Standing in solidarity with the innocent people who are suffering in Ukraine, Westchester County government joined with New York Medical College to host a humanitarian drive. “The evil being done on the other side of the world to families in Ukraine leaves us all in shock and in anguish,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “We cannot accept the massacre that is leaving villages destroyed, and families torn apart as reality. I want to commend all the Westchester County employees who donated to our humanitarian drive, to help those in Ukraine who have lost so much.”

Items that were collected included: • Unused medical supplies, first aid kits, bandages, gauze and antiseptics • Unused sanitation products for COVID-19 (face masks, latex gloves) • Sealed boxes of baby supplies (powder formula, diapers, wipes) and maternity supplies • Sealed boxes of feminine hygiene products

Westchester County Executive George Latimer, the Westchester County Board of Legislators and the Westchester Women’s Advisory Board selected 17 women from across the county who exemplify strength, community service and leadership. Each honoree received a proclamation from the county executive for their work at the virtual meeting of the Women’s Advisory Board on Monday, March 21. “Westchester County is made up of so many extraordinary women doing amazing things in education, entrepreneurship and community service,” Latimer said. “In Westchester County, we know women can be dynamic leaders and we have placed more women in key leadership roles during my administration than any other in history. I think of my grandmother and how she was born without the right to vote. I think of my mother, a blue collar worker who dropped out of school in the 8th grade. She overcame obstacles and provided a firm foundation for our family. In Westchester County, I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these exceptional women who continue to break the glass ceiling for others to follow. During Women’s History Month, we want to highlight and celebrate these accomplishments.” Westchester Women’s Advisory Board Co-Chair Margaret Fountain Coleman added, “We are excited to look within our own communities and tap into the strength of women who are the unsung of our communities. Many women go unrecognized because they work behind the scenes making our communities stronger and better. I salute and honor all of you in your districts for your tireless work and commitment. We salute all the women who are being honored for your hard work and dedication in making Westchester stronger!”

• Toiletries and other accessories • Cold weather clothing • Sealed non-perishable foods Westchester County’s Department of Public Works transported all items to New York Medical College, where they were shipped directly to Ukraine.

Court denies county’s motion to dismiss Million Air lawsuit

In a decision issued on Friday, March 11, the federal district court denied Westchester County’s motion to dismiss Million Air’s claim that the county acted in bad faith regarding a stormwater system for Million Air’s leased premises.

In a decision issued on Friday, March 11, the federal district court denied Westchester County’s motion to dismiss Million Air’s claim that the county acted in bad faith regarding a stormwater system for Million Air’s leased premises. In particular, the court held that Million Air’s allegations in its complaint regarding the stormwater system sufficiently stated a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing found in Million Air’s lease with the county. As the Court noted, Million Air alleges that the county “advanced multiple inconsistent and bad-faith positions” related to the stormwater system. The court held that these allegations state a viable claim for unlawful bad-faith conduct by the county. In particular, the county first told Million Air that it should complete the original “Proposed Improvements” (i.e., renovations of the existing terminal and the building of a new hangar), and refrain from building a stormwater system

until Million Air completed those improvements as well as the modified hangar. According to the county, the stormwater system, once completed, would serve both the proposed improvements and the modified hangar together. But after Million Air followed the county’s directive and completed construction of the initial proposed omprovements, the county reversed course and directed Million Air to construct a stormwater system for the proposed improvements alone, as a condition to the county executing an amended lease approving the modified hangar. Constructing the stormwater system for the completed proposed improvements has required Million Air to tear up portions of the completed construction, which has significantly disrupted Million Air’s business and has caused Million Air to incur millions of dollars in costs—costs that would not have been incurred with the county’s original instructions to complete

the proposed improvements without a stormwater system. These allegations, the court agreed, support Million Air’s claim that the county, acting in bad faith, deprived Million Air of the benefits of its lease with the county. Although the court granted the county’s motion with respect to the contract claim, the denial of the county’s motion to its claim of breach of the good faith could result in a multi-million damages award against the county. “We are gut-wrenched to think that we had to sue the county to provide the community with solutions to its long-term goals—less airplane noise by decreasing repositioning flights by over 1,000 flights per year, more high paying jobs, and work for our local unions and suppliers,” said Roger Woolsey, CEO of Million Air. “We hope this development in the case brings the County one step closer to unlocking these much-needed benefits for so many who live in our community.” (Submitted)

Tarrytown Music Hall will host an evening of song and solidarity to benefit the citizens of Ukraine who are fighting for their families, their country – and their lives. The event, held March 27, at 8 p.m., is called “A Show of Caring - A Concert to Benefit Ukraine” – a program of international music performed by distinguished contributors from many genres. Tickets are now available at https:// t i c ke t s . t a r r y t o w n m u s i c h a l l . o rg / UkraineBenefit22. Performers include Ukrainian artists Dr. Irena Portenko on piano, Metropolitan Opera bass Stefan Szkafarowsky and the Ukrainian Chorus Dumka of New York (recently seen on “Saturday Night Live”)—plus countertenor Jeffrey Palmer and pianist Svetlana Gorokhovich. The concert was conceived by Westchester residents Portenko and Tara Framer. Says Framer, “I’ve been deeply distraught by the war being waged on innocent civilians in Ukraine—and I’m sure you’re feeling the same,” Framer said. “I found I could not sit idly while thousands of innocent Ukrainians are being displaced, attacked, or murdered. I felt I had to do something... anything... that might help ease the suffer-

ing and devastation. And so I’ve collaborated with a Ukrainian musician, Dr. Irena Portenko, to produce a concert to raise funds for humanitarian aid to Ukraine.” Performer and event organizer Portenko, named to a “select circle” of pianists by The New York Times, is a sought-after concert pianist, music educator and arts administrator. Born in Kyiv, Ukraine, Portenko first displayed a talent for the piano at age three, making her debut performing Haydn’s Keyboard Concerto in D Major with the Ukranian National Orchestra at the age of eight. Portenko’s recordings have received highest acclaim from various critics and publications. She is an avid chamber musician, and has performed with a diverse range of musicians at festivals and in recitals around the world. In addition to her solo piano and concerto work, Portenko is the director of Music in the Alps, an international music festival held in Austria’s Gastein Valley, promoting cross-cultural dialogue and innovation in classical music performance. Portenko received her bachelor’s degree from Kyiv National Academy of Music, her post-graduate degree from the Ukranian National Academy of Mu-

sic, and her master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Michigan School of Music. She enjoys teaching piano privately and as a faculty member at the Music Conservatory of Westchester in White Plains. “I will be playing for all who were displaced; who lost their loved ones; for those who are wounded yet wish they could go back to the battlefield; for the volunteers who risk everything to help; for my classmates and friends who left the comfort of their homes to defend their land and families; for my musicians and colleagues whose professional lives have stopped, if only for short while,” Portenko said. “And, I play for my own family to stay alive.” “A Show of Caring - A Concert to Benefit Ukraine” is an all-volunteer-organized event, and all proceeds after ticket fees will be donated to charities providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine. The organizers are especially grateful to Björn Olsson, executive director and Karina E. Ringeisen, theater manager and the staff and volunteers of the Tarrytown Music Hall for their support. Ticket prices are $30 for the orchestra and balcony; and $75 for VIP seating in the front rows. To purchase tickets, visit https://tickets.tarrytownmusichall.org/UkraineBenefit22.

Osborn residents raise funds for Ukrainian relief efforts Members of The Osborn’s Sterling Park Independent Living community came together this month to support the people of Ukraine, raising more than $25,000 to help with humanitarian relief efforts. The fundraising effort was spearheaded by Barbara Ward, a resident of The Osborn. “I didn’t want to just sit around after the invasion. I wanted to do something to help make a difference in the lives of those affected by this terrible war,” she said. “I want to thank the residents—I asked

and they responded and responded quickly. I am stunned by their generosity.” Built on a tradition of charity by its founder, Miriam Osborn, the non-profit senior living community provided $3.3 million in charity care in 2021 alone. Osborn residents organized this month’s fundraising effort with the help of The Osborn Foundation, and the raised funds will be sent to CARE’s Ukraine Emergency Fund. Their goal is to reach those affected by the war with immediate aid including

food, water, hygiene kits, psychosocial support, and monetary assistance——prioritizing girls, women, families, and the elderly. “This demonstrates our residents’ compassion for people across the global community,” Matthew G. Anderson, The Osborn’s president and CEO. “For more than 100 years, The Osborn has been a vital, active, and progressive part of the Rye community and beyond. This donation represents our residents’ generosity and empathy.” (Submitted)

George Latimer Receives NYSAC Public Service Award The NYSAC Executive Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Governor George Pataki, and Westchester County Planning Director Peter Q. Eschweiler, among others. NYSAC Executive Director Stephen J. Acquario said, “While none of us were truly prepared for the arrival of COVID-19, County Executive Latimer didn’t have the luxury of learning from others when New Rochelle became the first hotpot in New York. His steady leadership in the face of the then unknown crisis not only saved lives in Westchester County but in counties around the state.

His example guided county leaders across the state. We’re incredibly proud to count him as one of our members and congratulate him on this well-deserved honor.” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “I am honored and humbled to receive the Executive Director’s Public Service Award. The beginning of the COVID pandemic was a time of great tragedy and sadness, but it was also a time of unity and strength. The people of New Rochelle, and Westchester County, worked together to beat back this deadly

virus. The doctors, nurses, police, EMS and firefights guided up, tested us, vaccinated us and cared for us – I am their humble servant, and I am forever indebted to them for the work they did and continue to do. Thank you to NYSAC for this great honor.” NYSAC was established by County officials in 1925. Its mission is to represent, educate, advocate for, and serve New York’s counties and all of the elected and appointed county officials who serve the public. NYSAC serves all 57 counties and the City of New York. (Submitted)

MHS students advocate for local workers’ rights

Fordham Univ. raises awareness for student veterans

In order to increase awareness, and when necessary, the official reporting of wage theft to the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office, the Original Civic Research and Action students produced a public service announcement for both local business owners and employees in collaboration with the Mamaroneck Community Resource Center and LMC Media. Photo courtesy PSA

As part of a long-term project, a group of students in the Original Civic Research and Action, OCRA, class at Mamaroneck High School is on a mission to educate the community about workers’ rights violations within the Larchmont-Mamaroneck community and increase the reporting of local wage theft. Each year, students in the OCRA class identify community issues, such as workers’ rights violations, with which they wish to study and address with their peers. Through conversations with local stakeholders, one group of OCRA students discovered that wage theft—the denial of wages agreed upon, including minimum wage, overtime pay, and tips—is a problem in their own backyards and one that disproportionately affects undocumented workers. The students’ public awareness campaign around

workers’ rights is targeted to both employees and employers. “Lack of education is a major contributing factor to the prevalence of wage theft,” said OCRA group member Ben Kulish. “A large portion of wage theft victims are undocumented workers; we’ve identified that this is primarily due to a lack of knowledge of the rights granted to undocumented citizens as workers. While it is illegal to hire a worker when under the knowledge that they are undocumented, under the Fair Labor Standards Act, once the work has been done, the employee must receive minimum wage regardless of documentation status. This is a significant NYS law that is commonly overlooked or ignored.” In order to increase awareness, and when necessary, the official reporting of wage theft to the West-

chester County District Attorney’s Office, the OCRA students produced a public service announcement for both local business owners and employees in collaboration with the Mamaroneck Community Resource Center and LMC Media. The PSA emphasizes employers› legal responsibilities and obligations to their employees. Additionally, the OCRA students have an ongoing relationship with the county District Attorney’s Office, which has created a hotline for workers to report infringements on their rights. “We are pleased that the hotline offers a safe resource for potential victims regardless of immigration status. It is an important step towards building trust between local government and undocumented workers,” said group member Léa Barry-Thouez. (Submitted)

U.S. military veterans seeking to further their education may be surprised to learn about the financial benefits of attending a Westchester-based college.

Anti-abortion activists found guilty of criminal trespass Westchester County District Attorney Miriam Rocah announced that after a three-day trial, a jury found three men guilty of unlawfully remaining at All Women’s Medical in White Plains to prevent patients from receiving access to medical care. Matthew Connelly, 40, William Goodman, 52, and Christopher Moscinski, 52, were each found guilty on March 17, of Criminal Trespass in the third degree, a misdemeanor. The defendants are affiliated with Red Rose Rescue, a prolife religious group.

On Nov. 27, 2021, at approximately 8:40 a.m., the defendants unlawfully entered All Women’s Medical in White Plains, a private medical office. The defendants then remained inside the office for approximately two hours despite receiving numerous verbal warnings to leave from medical staff and the White Plains Police Department. The defendants, two of whom remained in the waiting room and one who was on the floor blocking the entrance to the office, were arrested by White Plains police and had to be physically carried out of the

office. “The District Attorney’s Office will vigorously prosecute any criminal acts that interfere with an individual’s constitutional right to freely access healthcare,” Rocah said. “There are no insignificant cases when it comes to the protection of reproductive rights.” The case is before Judge John Collins in White Plains City Court, and is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Celia Curtis. The defendants are scheduled to be sentenced on June 20, 2022. (Submitted)

Back in the saddle LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

If you ask any coach—at any level—they will tell you that when it comes to planting the seeds for a successful campaign, the preseason can be a pivotal time. Reinforcing fundamental skills, installing defensive schemes and building comprehensive game plans are all part of the preseason process, regardless of sport. Scrimmages and practices have long been the best way to prepare a team—and the individuals comprising it—for the rigors of the campaign ahead. But they’re not the only ones who benefit from a few extra practice sessions. For photographers like me, they’re an absolute necessity. Now, don’t get me wrong; I’m not equating the physical aspects of shooting a lacrosse game from the sidelines with actually competing in said game. That I may sometimes be sore after shooting a game says more about my own physical shape than it does about what is asked of me during those two hours. But for photographers, getting into game shape is no easy feat, es-

pecially when making the jump to the spring season. Since late November, my coverage of winter sports has gotten me used to a particular type of photography. Whether I am hunched down around the baseline for a basketball contest or on the bench for hockey, I can be assured of a few things; the lenses I’ll be using, the consistent— if inadequate—lighting, the general flow of the game, and the fact that there are only 12 players—at most—in play at any time. By contrast, spring sports bring a wide array of variables. Larger fields mean different lenses, more players can lead to unexpected passes and ball movement, and varying clouds and sun positions during the course of a game can have an impact on what settings a photographer needs to dial into the camera in order to get the best shot. And that’s why we need preseason games too. On Monday afternoon, I headed over to New Rochelle High School to cover a lacrosse scrimmage between the Huguenots, Eastchester and White Plains. While the event provided me a chance to get an early look at both New Rochelle and Eastchester’s teams, it also gave

me the opportunity to get back into the swing of things—following ball-movement, finding the right angles and settling into the rhythm of a sport I haven’t covered since last June. On Tuesday, I headed over to Rye High School to photograph a softball game, which comes with its own unique challenges, such as shooting through chainlink fences, and finding proper positioning amid the backstops and dugouts that serve as obstacles to a photographer. In both instances, it took me a while to find my bearings. In the end, however, I began to feel a little more comfortable, a little more confident as I head into a new season with new sports. Practice may not make perfect, as they say, but it does make a difference.

Garnets, Tigers meet in preseason tilt By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor With the 2022 season fast approaching, a pair of local softball teams were able to get some extra work in on Tuesday, as Rye and Mamaroneck squared off in a pregame scrimmage that should serve to prepare both clubs for the challenges ahead. Both the Tigers and Garnets enter into the spring campaign fresh off the heels of terrific 2021 outings—but while each team returns a number of valuable pieces from last year, there is still work to be done in terms of solidifying the Opening Day lineups. According to Garnet coach Alex Tejera, the chance to scrimmage—something not afforded to teams during last year’s Covid-shortened preseason—will be an important tool in making those final decisions. “Last year, we maybe had a week to prepare and then ‘Boom,’ we were playing,” said Tejera. “So to have these full two weeks where we

get to have a scrimmage like this, it’s helpful because with some of these girls, I haven’t seen them play in a game situation.” Like Mamaroneck, who heads into the year looking to replace Abby Tucker, Rye’s biggest question-mark coming into the season is finding a successor to hurler Mara Ball, who was a stalwart in the circle for the Garnets for the last four years. To that end, Tejera used Tuesday’s scrimmage to audition a number of pitchers—including returning reliever Ava Hoogstra—to see how they handled pressure at the varsity level. Overall, Tejera said he was pleased with his staff’s performance and noted that squaring off against a tough lineup such as Mamaroneck’s should help get his young pitchers ready for the season ahead. “I need to see what they can do when things happen,” said the head coach. “There are going to be times when we’re not making plays or they can’t find the zone, and I need to be able to see that they hung in

there,” he said. “Today, we saw Ava struggle to find the zone early, but she didn’t let it get to her and she battled through it and got out of those innings.” While the Garnets used the scrimmage primarily to test their pitching staff, Mamaroneck and its powerful lineup tinkered with other options for manufacturing runs. In the fourth inning, for example, Sam Rosuck—one of the Tigers’ middleof-the-order sluggers—laid down a picture-perfect sacrifice bunt to plate a run, a sign that Mamaroneck figures to be a multi-dimensional offensive team. “That’s why scrimmages are important,” Tejera said. “You get a chance to work on different things.” Mamaroneck will open up their season against Suffern on March 31. The Garnets will have one more scrimmage this week before they take on Nyack in their first regular season game on Saturday, March 26. CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
