Rye man stabbed during domestic incident An unidentified Rye man was stabbed last week during a domestic altercation, leaving him to undergo emergency surgery. According to police, the 27-year-old man was stabbed by his 25-year-old brother around 8:50 p.m. on April 5 at a clergyman’s home on Boston Post Road. As of press time, the suspect has not been named but has been charged with second-degree assault, a felony; and menacing, a misdemeanor. Public Safety Commissioner Michael Corcoran told the Review that since the stabbing is classified as a domestic violence incident, the department is not required to and will not release the

names of the individuals involved in the case. The incident occurred near 900 Boston Post Road, where the suspect allegedly grabbed a 13-inch butcher knife and stabbed the victim, who chased after his brother when he fled to the clergyman’s home. According to Rye City Manager Marcus Serrano, the victim underwent surgery the night of the incident at the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla and is now in stable condition. “This was a domestic incident between two brothers so it wasn’t a random act, but it’s certainly a terrible thing that happened,” he said. The victim suffered injuries

Westchester County lawmakers look to close in on wage discrimination with a new law banning employers from asking about prior salary history. File photo

A new bill passed by the Westchester County Board of Legislators this week will make it illegal for employers to inquire about applicants’ previous pay during the hiring process. The Anti-Wage Discrimination Act, which was passed unanimously by lawmakers on April 10, will go before County Executive George Latimer, a Democrat, who was expected to sign it into law on Tuesday afternoon. “This is a crucial step in combatting women’s pay inequality, but it also removes a barrier of discrimination—whether intentional or unintentional—that will help all job seekers, including older workers or workers who are making career transitions, or those returning to work after raising children, and it will do so at no cost to businesses,” Board of Legislators Chairman Ben Boykin, a Democrat, said in a statement. Lawmakers hope that barring employers from asking about prior salary history will translate into higher wages for employees and greater upward mobility for

lower wage workers transitioning into new roles. Among the prospective benefactors, according to the board, will be women workers who often earn a lower salary than their male counterparts. According to a recently released Pew Research analysis, women earned just 82 percent of what men earned annually nationally in 2017, marking a continued 15-year stasis in the gender pay disparity. An additional study by employer review and job search site Glassdoor from 2016 also shows that the pay gap is compounded by a disparity in successful salary negotiations between men and women. According to the study, men were more than three times more likely to successfully negotiate a pay raise. The bill, which will go into effect three months after being signed into law, is based off of a piece of New York state legislation that never made it out of the Legislature after the Senate failed to bring it to a vote. -Reporting by James Pero

Latimer ‘bans the box’ for county jobs With an executive order signed last week, job applicants applying for positions in Westchester County government will no longer be required to preemptively disclose their criminal background on job forms. County Executive George Latimer, a Democrat, signed the order to “ban the box” on April 7, moving forward a nearly twoyear-old discussion by the county Board of Legislators. “No longer will applicants be automatically eliminated by dint of their past record—if their application warrants an interview, past details can be covered alongside evaluating all the pluses and minuses of an employment candidate,” Latimer said in a Facebook post. Westchester will join nearly 150 cities and counties nationwide, including New York City and Yonkers, who have both abolished the practice of inquiring about criminal history on job forms. While a similarly proposed piece of legislation pushed by county Democrats in 2016 would have also applied the ban to private businesses as well as county employment, that initiative never

made its way out of committee and to the full Board of Legislators for a vote. Advocates for banning the box argue that questions regarding criminal history unfairly discriminate against employees. New York state law forbids all employers from discriminating against job applicants based on their criminal history unless the crime has a direct relationship to the intended position. Under the executive order, employers will still be able to conduct background checks and criminal history reports after the initial application process. Ad-

vocates hope that the move will level the playing field by getting applicants with criminal backgrounds a chance to interview before being removed from consideration. Earlier this year an executive order to ban gun shows on county property signed by Latimer was signed into law by legislators. While had repeatedly attempted to ban the shows under the administration of Rob Astorino, a Republican, the move was ultimately vetoed. Democrats now hold a 12-seat supermajority over Republicans. -Reporting by James Pero

An Amazin’ start LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

On Tuesday, April 10, the Red Sox and Yankees kicked off their season series with a tilt at Fenway Park. The stage was set for a classic; two bitter rivals looking to assert their dominance in the AL East, two lineups chockfull of young stars, and two dominant pitchers in Severino and Sale. And wouldn’t you know it, I ended up watching the Mets instead. As Boston continued to pile on the runs against the seemingly hapless Yanks on ESPN, I was glued to SNY, as the surprising Metropolitans demonstrated their grit yet again, rallying back twice against the Marlins to top the fish 8-6 and get off to a 9-1 start—the best in franchise history. It’s not just that the Mets are winning—cause for celebration enough—it’s how they’re doing it. On Tuesday, the Mets surged back from two runs down in both the sixth and the eighth innings—

the latter comeback cemented by a dramatic bomb from Asdrubal Cabrera, before winning the game an inning later on a double by slumping slugger Yoenis Cespedes. These are the kind of wins—like many the Mets have had in their terrific start—that make you wonder if this team is ever going to lose again. Which, of course they will. Unlikely as it may seem right now, the Mets are not going to go 161-1 this season. Like every team, they’re going to go through droughts, they’re going to battle injuries to key players, and they’re going to have stretches where nothing goes right. And Mets’ fans, more prone to fatalism and pessimism than their counterparts who root for the Yankees, have an underlying sense of dread as they wait for things to return to normal. But that’s why fans have to enjoy the times like this. Right now, first-year Mets’ manager Mickey Callaway looks like the second coming of Bobby Cox. The starters are throwing well, the bullpen—even Hansel freakin’

SPORTS

Robles—has been incredible, and basically, this team just looks like it’s having a ton of fun playing together. The baseball season is such a long slog that it’s important to invest heavily in the moments when things are going right. A team can absolutely energize a fan-base or a city with a few weeks of inspired play. I’ve seen that play out on sports talk radio, on social media and even in text conversations with my father, who admitted that Cabrera’s eighth-inning homer against the Marlins prompted him to let out a holler that nearly gave my mother—who was doing work in another room—a heart attack. Who knows how long the Mets can keep up this torrid pace. Heck, it could all come crashing down tomorrow! And that’s why you have to enjoy it when you can. Because you never know when a streak like this is going to come around again.

Harrison, Rye eye memorial game On Saturday, April 28, baseball teams from Harrison and Rye will meet at West Harrison Park for the 4th annual Andrew Gurgitano Memorial Game. Gurgitano, who attended Harrison High School and pitched for the Huskies, died in 2014, prompting the rival programs to dedicate one meeting each spring to the memory of the baseball standout. The game will commence at 4 p.m., but a ceremony will be

held on the field prior to the first pitch, honoring Gurgitano’s life, as well as his passion for baseball. Each year, one senior from each school is given the Andrew Gurgitano Memorial Award, highlighting those upperclassmen who best exemplify the hard work, sportsmanship, determination, positive energy and integrity that Gurgitano exuded in his life. “It’s a great thing,” Harrison head coach Marco DiRuocco

said, “to get these two communities to come together for an event like this to celebrate Andrew’s life.” After the Garnets and Huskies traded wins in the first two years of the event, Rye earned a 7-1 victory in 2017 behind a tremendous effort from starting pitcher Myles Burbank. Harrison will look to even the series at 2-2 when the two squads meet later this month. -Reporting by Mike Smith

4th annual Andrew Gurgitano Memorial Game Date: April 28 Place: West Harrison Park Time: 3:30 p.m. (pregame ceremony) 4 p.m. (first pitch)
