Otis, Mayer secure bridge funding

Assemblyman Steve Otis and state Senator Shelley Mayer announced two important state grants awarded to Sound Shore communities that will assist each community with bridge infrastructure projects that are part of broader flood mitigation plans for their respective watersheds.

The city of Rye was awarded $5 million for the replacement of the Locust Avenue bridge over Blind Brook. The project will provide for better water flow in storm events and help in the city’s broader plans to mitigate flooding on the Blind Brook watershed and within Rye’s Central Business District.

The town of Mamaroneck was awarded $769,000 to help fund the replacement of the superstructure of the Rockland Avenue bridge over Sheldrake River. This project will improve water flow at the Sheldrake River in Mamaroneck and is part of the multi-faceted flood mitigation program in the Village of Mamaroneck.

The confluence of the Sheldrake and Mamaroneck Rivers is one of the most challenging flood damage locations in the state. Separate from these two bridge

projects, Assemblyman Otis and Senator Mayer included $17.5 million in the recently adopted state budget to provide New York State’s share of the Federal Army Corps of Engineers project for the Mamaroneck Sheldrake watershed.

Assemblyman Otis said, “These are important state funds to help address flood mitigation issues on the Sound Shore. Governor Hochul has been very supportive of our water infrastructure and storm resiliency needs in Westchester.

Congratulations to the Town and Village of Mamaroneck and the City of Rye for submitting successful applications that brings these state dollars to our communities. Senator Mayor and I have worked closely together on flood mitigation and water initiatives in every community we share.”

Senator Mayer said, “I am pleased by Governor Hochul’s announcement that the Town of Mamaroneck and the City of Rye each received funding for bridge rehabilitation and replacement through the State’s BRIDGE NY initiative. Of the $60.1 million given to the Mid-Hudson region, I am honored that Mamaroneck

will receive $769,000 to replace the superstructure of the Rockland Avenue bridge and the City of Rye will receive $5 million to replace the Locust Avenue bridge. Given the impact of climate change and flooding in each of these communities, this funding has been a high priority. This investment is critical to ensure our bridges are resilient in the face of increased climate change-related hazards. I applaud Governor Hochul for her commitment to these issues, and thank her; Commissioner Dominguez and the staff of the State Department of Transportation; Mamaroneck Supervisor Jane Elkind Eney and the Mamaroneck Town Board; City of Rye Mayor Josh Cohn and the City of Rye Council for their efforts.”

Mayor of Rye Josh Cohn said, “The Locust Avenue Bridge is one of our well-known flood trouble spots. We are delighted to have this Bridge NY funding to help replace it. We are very grateful to Senator Mayer and Assemblyman Otis for their constant support, and, of course, to Governor Hochul.”

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced on Tuesday an agreement with the Mamaroneck Union Free School District (Mamaroneck UFSD) over its failure to respond to instances of race- and gender-based bullying and harassment against students in schools. The settlement resolves the Office of the Attorney General’s (OAG) investigation, which began in June 2020 following allegations from students and parents that administrators had failed to adequately address confirmed instances of race- and gender-based bullying and harassment. The complaints alleged that the Mamaroneck UFSD’s lack of action led to students being repeatedly degraded and discriminated against by their classmates for months across various schools within the district. The severity of the harassment interfered with students’ ability to learn, socialize, and feel safe within their schooling environment. Through the settlement announced today, Mamaroneck UFSD agrees to implement substantial policy changes, provide student counseling, and engage in data collection and reporting to OAG for its responses to future instances of bullying, harassment, and discrimination.

“With this agreement, the Mamaroneck Union Free School District has committed to take appropriate measures to meet its duty to children and their families and to protect students from bullying, harassment, and discrimination,” said Attorney General James. “My office will continue to do everything in its power to ensure that every child feels safe and respected in the classroom.”

Federal law guarantees all students the right to a public education, and it provides that they shall not be deprived of this most basic right on the basis of

race or sex. Title VI and Title IX specifically require schools take steps to protect students from race- and gender-based misconduct. Further, New York’s Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) requires public schools to provide a safe and supportive environment free from discrimination, harassment, and bullying. DASA requires schools to investigate and respond to instances of bullying with measures reasonably calculated to end the behavior creating a hostile environment for a student.

The OAG’s investigation concluded that Mamaroneck UFSD’s failure to address student bullying and harassment constituted a violation of Title VI and Title IX. Black students and other students of color were regularly the targets of racial epithets and sexually offensive harassment. The OAG found that Mamaroneck UFSD, despite promptly investigating these incidents, failed to engage in necessary responses to limit this behavior in the future. Consequently, the inconsistent and ineffective approaches to the misconduct led to students continuing to be subjected to harassment and bullying from their peers. Students who were victims of this behavior experienced physical, mental, and emotional suffering that interfered with their ability to participate in social and educational activities within the classroom.

The Mamaroneck UFSD has agreed to comply with robust reforms to improve its response to future instances of race- and gender-based bullying, harassment, and discrimination, including but not limited to:

• Revising Mamaroneck UFSD’s harassment policies to ensure prompt and effective

From 1 responses to misconduct;

• Punishing retaliatory attacks from offenders following a report from a victim;

• Providing written reports for each student complaint involving bullying, harassment, or discrimination; and

• Providing school-based counseling services for atrisk students affected by such misconduct.

The Mamaroneck UFSD will also cooperate with OAG to ensure compliance with the aforementioned measures and will provide written summary reports to OAG of bullying and harassment incidents to confirm their policies are in accordance with the district’s Equity Work Plan.

This settlement concludes OAG’s first investigation related to allegations of student-on-student race-based bullying and harassment. The OAG remains committed to ensuring that the rights of students are not violated or infringed on school grounds. The OAG encourages New Yorkers with information regarding misconduct within their school districts to please contact OAG’s Civil Rights Bureau.

“Mamaroneck, like any community, is not immune from both explicit and implicit discrimination. I am glad that reforms will be enacted to protect our children from race-based prejudice,” said village of Mamaroneck Mayor Tom Murphy. “No child should feel intimidated and unwelcome in their learning environment. Hopefully the changes that will be enacted in the settlement will improve how these awful situations are handled in the future.”

New Rochelle BID Announces Summer Concert Takeout Meals

The New Rochelle Downtown Business Improvement District (NRBID) is excited to announce a terrific new program called the Summer Concert Takeout Meals program.

More than 30 Downtown dining spots are offering takeout specials as part of the program, which runs through the end of August.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner items are available.

The Summer Concert Takeout Meals program was launched as an innovative complement to Downtown’s burgeoning music scene and other programming in its parks and public spaces. Given the program’s expected popularity among those who live, work, visit, and study in New Rochelle, it’s little surprise that so many restaurants jumped at the chance to be part of it.

Said Littman, “The Summer Concert Takeout Meals program is a great way to support our local restaurants while enjoying a great meal and a show in one of Downtown’s parks – or perhaps a quieter night at home.”

To take advantage of the wonderful meals offered through the Summer Concert Takeout Meals program, simply contact the restaurant directly to place your take-out order. The specials will only be available to order directly from the restaurants and not available via any food delivery

or reservation apps. To see the complete list of restaurants and learn more about the Summer Concert Takeout Meals special offerings, please visit Summer Concerts Takeout Meals (newrochelledowntown.com)

Another great summer program for local foodies is, of course, the just-reopened New Rochelle Farmers Market in Downtown at Anderson Plaza on Sundays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. It features in-district restaurants doing cooking demos, great produce, foods, and handmade market items to buy, along with live music now through October.

Town of Mamaroneck Supervisor Jaine Elkind

Eney said, “The Town Board and I truly appreciate the awarding of these funds from Governor Hochul’s office as the Town of Mamaroneck continually makes every possible effort to harden our infrastructure to mitigate the effects of flooding in our community. The planned deck replacement on the Rockland Avenue Bridge will improve resiliency of the vehicle crossing that is located on an important Town roadway. The Town will consider all available storm hardening opportunities during design of the bridge improvements to protect our infrastructure and the broader Mamaroneck community against the effects of climate change. Much appreciation goes out to Senator Mayer and Assemblyman Otis who work tirelessly together to champion the Town’s needs.”

Mayor of the Village of Mamaroneck Tom Murphy said, “I am very grateful to Assemblyman Otis and Senator Mayer for coming through for

Mamaroneck once again. Where this bridge is located is at the epicenter of flooding and where significant damage has been sustained by our residents. Any improvement that will help speed stormwater through Mamaroneck is both welcome and needed.”

The bridge funding for Mamaroneck and Rye were provided through the State’s BRIDGE NY program, which assists local governments across the state harden their existing infrastructure while boosting the resiliency of bridges and culverts in the state. The State’s BRIDGE NY initiative supports projects that combat climate change by reducing the risk of flooding, improves the resiliency of structures, facilitates regional economic competitiveness, and prioritizes projects that benefit environmental justice communities.

This announcement builds upon the more than $716 million that had previously been awarded to local governments statewide. As part of the State’s historic $32.8 billion capital plan adopted last year, $1 billion was committed to BRIDGE NY, effectively doubling the size of the program.

Unpacking the Saquon saga

And while none of it was surprising, it was still very tough to watch.

certain players, and Barkley has been one that nearly every Giant fan adored.

You’d like to think that, at my age, I’d be able to separate the emotional part of my brain from my sports fandom. Alas, I haven’t reached that point in my life.

On Monday afternoon, after it was announced that the New York Giants were unable to reach a longterm deal with star running back Saquon Barkley, I was reminded of just how distinct that split between rationality and fandom is, and how it’s nearly impossible to reconcile those two feelings when it comes to fandom.

For a quick refresher, over the last few months, Barkley and the Giants have been at odds regarding a longterm contract extension. After Monday’s 4 p.m. deadline, it was official; the Giants would decline to offer Barkley a multi-year deal and the star running back would instead be placed on the franchise tag for upcoming season.

It all makes sense; as the running back position becomes devalued in today’s’ NFL, teams are loathe to hand out multi-year deals to even top stars, looking at the position as a replaceable one in these pass-first offenses. At the same time, Barkley—who was the Giants’ best player last year—has a checkered injury history, making a long term investment in the Penn State product a tough sell.

But as someone who roots for Big Blue, you can’t help but hope the guy continues to be the face of the franchise moving forward; an electric on-field performer, Barkley also is the kind of ‘high character’ guy that endeared himself to fans as much for his personality as his play.

Financially, it makes sense that the cash-strapped Giants didn’t want to tie themselves to Barkley for the foreseeable future, but from a purely emotional standpoint, it’s been a tough pill to swallow. You come to love

So what happens now? Most likely, Saquon will play out the year on the tag—I can’t see him pulling a Leveon Bell—and the entire mess will play out again next year. But it seems like the damage has been done, and by 2025, we’re going to have to see a (hopefully healthy) Barkley suiting up for another team. That’s the way teams are run now, and it’s a harsh truth that fans need to comprehend. But it doesn’t make it any easier to see a homegrown guy, especially a No. 2 overall pick and a guy who could have been a member of the Giants ring of honor, essentially pushed out the door because of analytic tends in the game.

So lets’ hope for another big year from Saquon and that GM Joe Schoen can find a little cap space in the future. It’s unlikely; but what are fans if not dreamers?

On Monday, it was announced that the New York Giants were unable to reach a longterm deal with star running back Saquon Barkely. Even though the lack of a deal makes sense under current football logic, it doesn’t make the split any easier for Giants fans.

O’Hara League offers outlet for hoopsters

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

The high school basketball season might still be be five months away, but a number of local teams have been putting in work this summer, competing in Hudson View Park in Irvington in the 17th year of the O’Hara Basketball League.

Through June and July, 16 basketball teams—eight boys teams and eight girls squads—compete twice a week at the court on the banks of the Hudson River, with many squads, includ-

ing Rye Neck’s boys, and the girls teams from Rye and Eastchester, using the summer as a chance to stay sharp for the upcoming winter campaign.

On July 13, both Eastchester and Rye won their games handily, topping Hastings and Westlake respectively. But for the Eagles and Garnets, wins and losses in the summer are not nearly as important as simply getting a run with prospective teammates.

“This helps us to dust off the cobwebs a little bit before the fall preseason and

I think it’s just a fun thing to do in the summer, helping us to get back into the rhythm. “ said Rye point guard Molly Kennedy.

Teammate Phoebe Greto— who turned in a dominant performance against Westlake, making the most of second-chance points—concurred with Kennedy’s take.

“It’s one of the most important things because this is not everyone’s main sport,” added Greto. “They might be doing other things, they might not pick up a basketball and go shoot, but this is here so we can come do that

as a team.”

Greto looked at Rye’s participation in last year’s O’Hara league as a big reason for the Garnets’ success in the winter months.

“Last year we had a bunch of girls who had played JV come out in the summer,” said Greto. “And I think that really helped to build their confidence as we were able to work on our team chemistry.”

Although most varsity teams will have other voluntary workouts before the winter season begins, Kennedy also feels that outlets such as the O’Hara League afford players the opportunity to improve individual skills in a game setting.

“Every time I come out here, I’m trying to work on a different aspect of my game,” said Kennedy. “Today, my goal was to work on going up strong after an offensive rebound, that was the thing I was most focused on.”

The O’Hara Basketball League regular season will run through Thursday, July 20 and playoffs are scheduled to begin on Monday, July 24 with the boys teams. The season will conclude on July 27 with the girls’ consolation and championship rounds.

Eastchester 10U softball team heads to States

A local softball team punched its tickets to the state Little League softball tournament last week, as the the Eastchester 10u teams emerged as Section 3 champs with a , earning the right to represent District 20 in the state tourney that will begin later this week.

Eastchester topped White Plains in the District 20 finals before besting West Nyack/ Nanuet in the Section 3 title

game to keep the summer alive.

Manager Mike Spiciarich said he new prior to the summer tournament season that this Eastchester group had a chance to be successful, considering how long the team has been playing together.

“Eight out of the 10 kids have been playing together since they were eight years old, so I’ve seen them devel-

op as players over the last three years,” said Spiciarich. “They’ve always been a really competitive crew with a lot of talent and a real strong bond with each other.”

Now, with the season continuing against some of the top teams in New York State, Spiciarich said that he is hopeful that the experience of this summer will be on that the girls carry with them for a long time.

“I told them at the beginning of the season that this could be a oncein-a-lifetime opportunity to represent your town,” said Spiciarich. “It’s a really cool chance to get the town behind you, get that community support. I hope that these 12 kids, who are all very talented, will continue to play, hopefully at the high school level and maybe beyond.”
