County Executive George La timer said: “We all look forward to Hudson Valley Restaurant Week. It is a great time to get out and try a new Westchester restaurant or gather with friends and family at an old favorite. I encourage you to get out and support our local restau rateurs.”

Director of Westchester Coun

“This year’s Restaurant Week will be like no other,” said Mike Martinelli, Today Media’s Hudson Valley Group Publisher. “We’re offering several different price points so even more restaurants can participate which increases the number and variety of es tablishments that diners have to choose from. We’re excited to once again highlight the bounty of

culinary greatness that our region has to offer.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Wednesday that since early Janu ary, when mobile sports wagering became available in New York, the state has collected $542 million in taxes through the week ending Oct. 30, far surpassing every other state in the nation. An additional $200 million in licensing fees has also been collected, generating a total of more than $740 million in revenue, most of it to be used for education. This far outperforms every other state in the nation, including those that have been accepting mobile sports wagers for several years.

“By bringing sports wagering to New York, we have not only opened the door to responsible entertainment for millions of sports fans, but we have also brought in significant revenue to support schools, as well as youth sports, while implementing important safe guards to help those who need it,” Hochul said. “I’m proud of the work that has been done to secure our state’s top position in mobile sports wagering, and I am excited to continue the trend as we secure hundreds of millions of dollars to support programs that will improve the lives of New Yorkers.”

New York State set a record of $73 million in mobile sports wa gering tax revenue in September,

the most generated by any state to date, breaking its own record of $63 million set in January. For context, according to reports, the highest monthly mobile sports wagering tax revenue generated outside of New York is Pennsyl vania in November 2021 at $19 million.

New York State Gaming Com mission Chairman Brian O’Dwyer said, “New York continues to lead the nation in sports wager ing thanks to Governor Hochul’s enacting of smart gaming policies that deliver real, transformative re sults for New Yorkers. The revenue generated from sports wagering will provide critical support to our schools, youth sports and respon sible gaming programs.”

New York State Office of Addic tion Services and Supports Com missioner Chinazo Cunningham said, “OASAS stands ready with services and supports for New Yorkers struggling with problem gambling. This additional revenue from mobile sports wagering will allow OASAS to expand important prevention, treatment, harm reduc tion and recovery services across the State.”

State Senator Joseph P. Addab bo, Jr. said, “Since New York

TOBACCO COMPANIES ARE TARGETING

Westchester County resident to receive volunteer service award

Lloyd Cort of Greenburgh will receive Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Exemplary Volunteer Service Award at the New York State Office for the Aging, NYSO FA, Annual Older New Yorkers’ Day Celebration on Nov. 4. Cort was nominated by the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services, DSPS, for his decades of service to the town of Greenburgh and the people who live there.

The Governor’s Exemplary Volunteer Service Award is announced annually on Older New Yorkers’ Day, Nov. 4. It recognizes an older adult for excep tional volunteerism, service and proactive dedication to the civic good as well as the social, health and overall well-being of individuals of all ages in their community. The awardee is chosen for the special dis tinction from numerous nominations by local offices for the aging, as well as community partners.

Born in Guyana, Cort has been a Westchester Coun ty resident since 1969 and has resided in Greenburgh since 1973, where he raised his two children with his wife Gwen of 48 years. Cort has served on various committees and boards, including as Chair of the Com munity Development Advisory Committee, Chair of the Police Community Advisory Commission, and member of the Greenburgh Budget Oversight Commission. Today, he continues to make a difference assisting the disadvantaged and underserved by improving access to programs, services and activities in Westchester.

Cort said: “There is much joy in giving, but the gifts we receive from volunteering are truly priceless. You get the opportunity to not only improve the lives of others, but also create a better future for all.”

DSPS Commissioner Mae Carpenter expressed her sincere gratitude for Cort’s accomplishments, and his selfless commitment to service.

“The gifts that Mr. Cort has given to Greenburgh through his contribution of time, talent and skills is truly to be admired by all,” said Carpenter. “One of our very own will receive this coveted award, it should make every generation proud.”

The Nov. 4 celebration will stream live at 1 p.m. on Facebook and YouTube. The program will include remarks from NYSOFA Director Greg Olsen, elected officials, and the Association on Aging in New York Executive Director, Becky Preve. Preve will present the Governor’s Exemplary Volunteer Service Award to Cort. She will also name the 90-plus volunteers that were nominated throughout the state. A com memorative program book has been published by NYSOFA and will be distributed to the awardees.

These stories of selfless commitment offer per sonal examples of the work being done by more than one million older adults throughout New York who contribute 495 million hours of community service each year at an economic value of $13.8 billion. We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude.

entered the mobile sports betting market back in January, we have collected over $500 million in tax revenue. That is an incredible achievement — especially in only a 10-month timespan with only nine operators — with the majority of this money going towards the state’s educational coffers, gaming addiction programs, as well as youth sports programs. With this great start, I look forward to a greater potential for increasing the benefits of mobile sports betting for the residents of New York with the NFL season in full swing, the NHL and NBA seasons getting underway and the current World Series.”

Assemblymember Gary Pretlow said, “I’m elated with the success of mobile sports betting in New York but not surprised! When Senator Addabbo and I proposed the bill to legalize mobile sports wagering in New York, we knew the fans had an appetite for wagering because they were going across the river to bet in New Jersey. We have a robust sports market in New York with multiple teams in each major sports league (NFL, NBA, NHL, & MLB). Our success was inevitable - that’s why we wanted to incorporate as many entities and affiliates as possible. This endeavor has been a win/win for New Yorkers as we have generat ed millions in revenue for education and youth sports while not turning a blind eye to respon sible gaming programs.”

According to GeoComply, a software firm used by sports books to ensure geolo cation requirements, more than 11.3 million unique player accounts have been created since January, conducting nearly 985 million

transactions.

Looking at a breakdown of wagers by sport since January 8, 2022, Major League Baseball has taken in $2.6 billion and the NBA was not far behind with $2.5 billion. For football, the most popular sport in America, the NFL has taken in $1.3 billion over 10 regular season weeks and all of the 2022 playoffs. College football has taken in $406 million, which includes the 2022 bowl games and the current regular season to date. A final statistic to accentuate the popularity of pro football mobile sports wagering in New York State shows the average number of transac tions on Sundays since the start of the 2022 season at 5.7 million.

Through the week ending October 30, 2022, the mobile sports wagering handle is $13 billion with net revenue to education of $527 million. For FY 2023 and annually thereafter, revenues from mobile sports wa gering are distributed as follows: $5 million to fund sports programs for underserved youths, $6 million to fund problem gambling educa tion and treatment, and the remaining majority to education aid.

The Commission’s regulations require op erators to prevent underage gaming, provide bettors the availability to impose spending limits, and share information on gambling risks and signs of problem gambling. New Yorkers who are struggling with a gambling problem or know someone with a gambling problem can call the state’s toll-free, confi dential HOPEline at 1-877-8-HOPENY (1877-846-7369) or text HOPENY (467369).

End of the road

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, Christmas music is playing in the stores, and by Monday, high school sports teams will be hitting the court and the ice for the first practice of the winter season.

So where did the time go?

This weekend, Section I will play its last sanctioned varsity contests of the fall, as 10 football teams will duke it out at Mahopac High School to crown five section al champs. But it seems like just yesterday that I was pounding the pavement in August, trying to get to as many preseason camps as I could when the days were still long. But looking back at those early vis its and the predictions made by me and other sports pundits, I have to say that outside a few minor twists and turns, a lot of the final weekend makes sense.

Were there some surprises?

Well, Mamaroneck’s football team has been one for sure. While I think most expected the Tigers to make a deep playoff run this year, they’ve turned in an absolutely dominant campaign in 2022, going a perfect 9-0 to reach their first section final in program history.

As for Harrison, which fell just short of its bid to reach the Section I title, it was also a banner year. But the Huskies were also a team peo ple expected big things from this year and they played accordingly; enjoying their best season in a long time en route to an appearance in the Class A semifinals.

But that’s not to say every surprising team had a storybook ending. Eastchester, for example, far exceeded expectations, played Class A favorite remarkably tough for a half, but just narrowly missed the playoffs on a fluky punt return in the final week of the season. But eliminate that final play and the Eagles were right there with anyone else in the Class A playoffs, even despite catastrophic injuries

suffered by huge stars.

So here we are, at the precipice of the winter season, with just one more game to determine who will ultimately write the last chapter in Section I football. But overall, it’s been a pretty good story so far; we’ve got a young Rye team taking on a daunting foe from Somers,

a Mamaroneck team in uncharted waters doing the same against Car mel. We’ve got Tuckahoe playing Haldane for what looks like—after the NYS Class realignments came out—the last time for a Class D title.

So clearly, there’s a lot happen ing, and by the end of the week end we’ll know who’s moving on

to states. But for the teams that don’t find themselves advancing to regionals, there’s at least a silver lin ing. When they get back to school on Friday, it will already be basket ball season.

Class A finals picture set

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

After a long season full of twists and turns, the Section I football champion ship picture is set, with just two teams left to vie for a Class A title this weekend.

On Friday, Nov. 4, the Rye Garnets and Somers Tuskers punched their tickets to Mahopac, topping John Jay Cross River and Harrison, respectively, to earn the right to vie for Sec tion I’d highest honor.

After beating Pelham on the road in the first week of the playoffs, Rye earned a home game against the Wolves on Friday, making the most of home field ad vantage in a 31-21 victory over their opponents. John Jay had amassed over 500 yards of offense in a win over Clarkstown South the week prior, but Rye’s defense was solid early on, as the Garnets held a 10-0 lead heading into halftime.

The Wolves roared back in the second half, however, taking a 21-17 lead before rushing touchdowns by Chris Iuliano and Giovanni Cavatoni put the Garnets on top for good. AJ Miller threw for 307 yards on the day, connecting with Rafferty McSweeney for 180 of those yards and a touchdown.

Rye coach Dino Garr said the Garnets entered Friday’s game fully aware of the Wolves’ weapons and simply tried to do their best to keep up.

“We knew they could score, they have the poten tial to score on every single play,” said Garr. “We knew that coming in, so we just said we’re going to have to score some more.”

The Garnets will have another explosive offense to contend with next week, as they prepare for an unde feated Somers team that is coming off a 39-7 win over Harrison—the only team to hand Rye a loss this year. Against the Huskies, the Tuskers were led by a 6-for6 night by quarterback Matt Fitzsimmons, who threw for 196 yards and three touch downs.

Somers edged the Gar nets in the Class A finals last season before beating them again in the state semifinals after Rye had earned an at-large bid to the tournament.

“We’ve seen a lot of them so know what they’re going to do, they know what we’re going to do,” said Garr. “They’re a good football team, so we have to be ready.”

To that end, said Garr, the close games Rye has been involved in this year—

including Friday’s win over John Jay—should be benefi cial to a young Garnet team that will be giving up much in the way of experience to

a Tuskers team that came within one play of winning a state title in 2021.

“We’re a young team, but these kids, these young

men have really taken this on and done everything we have asked them to do,” said Garr. “We’re getting better every time, we need

to get better one more time.”
