Westchester strikes deal with nurses union Westchester County has come to terms with one of its outstanding union contracts, the New York State Nurses Association, according to the county executive.The new 6-year contract, retroactive to 2016, locks in 2.5 percent raises in 2018, 2019 and 2021, while guaranteeing a 3 percent raise in 2020. The contract will not include retroactive raises for 2016 or 2017, however. “Westchester residents rely on nurses when they need them most,” Latimer said. “I am proud that we reached this deal which will allow these hardworking folks to do the important job they are tasked with while also keeping

in mind the cost to the taxpayer.” According to a statement by NYSNA member Rosemarie Camia, a New York State Nurses Association member, 43 nurses affected by the contract work in social services, community colleges and jails across the county. “Once again, it shows the benefits when elected officials and unions partner to make decisions that benefit the people of New York and the middle class,” Camia said in a statement. The contract requires the approval of the Board of Legislators. While this union contract closes, another larger contract still looms for the county. The Civil

Service Employees Association, CSEA, the county’s largest union, has been operating without a new contract since 2010, and is in the midst of negotiations with the Latimer administration after failing to come to terms during the tenure of former County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican who left office at the end of 2017. Because of retroactive raises and the amount of workers in the union— just under 5,000—county officials have shown concern that a new contract could upset an already delicate financial situation for Westchester County government. In May, a financial review of county debt projections for the

2018 fiscal year put this year’s budget shortfall at $28.7 million. That number, however, does not factor in CSEA negotiations. Soule forecasted that the CSEA contract could end up totaling upwards of $40 million. As a result of the structural deficit—which stems from the county spending more money than it generates in revenue— lawmakers will likely be forced to look at the prospect of increasing property taxes by raising the property tax levy. The county will look to finalize a deal before the impending budget season this fall. -Reporting by James Pero

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has tasked a panel to come up with legislation permitting unprecedented recreational marijuana use across the state. The 20-person group, comprised of professors, members of law enforcement and officials within the Cuomo administration, will look to craft a piece of legislation that can be voted on at the start of the state Legislature’s upcoming session in January. The creation of the panel comes less than a month after a multi-agency report was delivered to state lawmakers that overwhelmingly supported the move to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes due in part to economic benefits. In Colorado— the first state to legalize marijuana for recreational use in 2014—tax revenue exceeded $500 million last year as businesses and availability continue to grow. “The next steps must be taken thoughtfully and deliberately,” said Cuomo, a Democrat, in a statement last week. “As we work to implement the report’s recommendations through legislation, we must thoroughly consider all aspects of a regulated marijuana program, including its impact on public health, criminal justice and state revenue, and mitigate any potential risks associated with it.”Specifically, the report, issued in July, detailed the potential positive effects of legalizing marijuana for adult recreational use, stating that in addition to up to $678 million in tax revenue depending

on the rate at which sales would be taxed, legalization would allow the state to further regulate the consumption, quality and distribution of marijuana more readily. Additionally, the report extolls the benefits of not incriminating low-level marijuana users, a practice which can often lead to more serious incarceration down the line and oftentimes affects minorities disproportionately. However, some lawmakers in Colorado, where recreational weed has been legal since 2014, have criticized the move for exacerbating crime levels, claiming that it has attracted transients and criminals into the state. But these claims have been rebutted by various statistical analyses in addition to being labeled as “false” by fact-checking website Snopes. In New York, Cuomo’s stance on legalizing marijuana has shifted over the last several years as he’s watched other states in the Northeast warm to the idea. Massachusetts and Vermont have already passed their own recreational marijuana laws, with the former rolling theirs out this year. In New York, medical marijuana was approved in 2014, but rules for who may obtain it have been less permissive than other states. According to the New York State Department of Health, the Compassionate Care Act is meant to provide those with “serious” conditions a path to medical marijuana—among the list of applicable ailments are cancer, multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease.

Mamaroneck toddler death ruled homicide

The tragic death of a two-year-old girl in Mamaroneck has been officially ruled a homicide by the Westchester County medical examiner. The mother of Gabriella Boyd is being charged with attempted murder. Photo courtesy Flickr.com

By JAMES PERO Staff Writer The Westchester County Medical Examiner’s Office officially ruled the death of a Gabriella Boyd, 2, a homicide. Confirmation of the homicide comes after a report by the Journal News in which the lawyer for Steven Boyd, Gabriella’s father, stated that the case had been ruled a murder. The official cause of death is still undetermined and an autopsy by the county medical examiner has yet to be made public. According to the county district attorney, Gabriella Boyd’s autopsy will be presented before a grand jury. On April 28, Mamaroneck police responded to a 911 call where they found the girl severely injured at her Chestnut Avenue home in the village of Mamaroneck. According to police, when officers attempted to help Boyd, her mother, Cynthia Arce, 28, attacked the officers by

brandishing a knife. Police first tased Arce, before shooting her; she was sent to intensive care due to the three nonfatal gunshot wounds and has since recovered from her injuries. Her daughter, however, was pronounced dead after being rushed to the hospital. As a result, Arce now faces charges that include two counts of attempted murder. No charges have been added as of press time. In the wake of Gabriella Boyd’s alleged murder, her father has filed the beginning stages of a lawsuit against the village of Mamaroneck, Mamaroneck police and Westchester County claiming law enforcement failed to properly enforce a court order granting him custody of the child. The notice of claim, filed last month, accuses Mamaroneck police officers of negligence in enforcing a court order that would have removed Gabriella Boyd from the custody of Arce. Steven Boyd is seeking monetary damages.

In particular, the claim focuses on a home visit made Steven Boyd, accompanied by police, the day prior to his daughter’s death, when Arce slammed the door on them while they were attempting to gain custody of the child. Subsequently, the officers decided to leave the residence. “Incredibly, the officers decided to leave the scene, apparently either unaware of what their duties were, in denial of them or in complete ignorance of them,” the notice of claim states. Police have stood by the actions of officers saying they acted within departmental guidelines. The little girl’s death is also being investigated by the county Child Fatality Review Team, an agency that combines members of the county departments of Health, Social Services, the medical examiner, doctors and state officials, who will review the cause of the fatality and recommend methods of prevention.

Cole Porter was an American composer and songwriter. Born to a wealthy family, he penned the lyrics to the song, “You’re the Top” from “Anything Goes” cruising down the Rhine River in Germany in 1934. Porter wrote about glamourous, rich, sophisticated and often slightly naughty people. And the oddball and colorful characters are sailing away this month at the Westchester Broadway Theatre in Elmsford. “Anything Goes” opened on Broadway at the Alvin Theatre in 1934. Veteran writers P.G. Wodehouse and Guy Bolton wrote the book and the revised libretto is written by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The show was a huge success. It came at a time after an economic catastrophe and failed government policies, when people were looking for glimmers of hope, laughter and enjoyment of cruise ship antics; a lifestyle that they could

only dream about. The cast of the show takes you away into a fun, lively time with energetic song and dance plus a whole lot of tap. Every character hits their mark in this show. It’s fast-paced fun with a lot of action. Zach Trimmer stars as the charming Billy Crocker trying to win over his love interest, Hope Harcourt, who is played by Jacie Raye. Crocker is not a guest on the ship and hides out only to end up hanging out with a low-level gangster and his sidekick, funnyman Moonface Martin played hilariously by Jon J. Peterson and Erma played by Mychal Phillips. Phillips keeps Moonface in line as her main focus is the sailors aboard the ship. The sailors swoon over her in, “Buddie, Beware.” Mrs. Harcourt played by Tina Johnson insists that her daughter marry the wealthy Lord Evelyn Oakleigh played by Kevin Pariseau. Pariseau keeps the audience laughing with his sweet demeanor and his attempt to understand “American English.”

He has an innocent rendezvous with Reno Sweeney, the very forward entertainer of the ship. Sweeney, who is played brilliantly by Stacia Fernandez, is as straight-forward as they come, her presence is known in every scene she is in. Fernandez’s voice matches her powerful performance on stage with, “I Get a Kick Out of You,” “Friendship” and “Blow, Gabriel, Blow.” Some of Porter’s other hits are “You’re the Top,” “Anything Goes,” “Be Like The Bluebird” and “Its Delovely.” The musical direction by Patrick Hoagland combined with Richard Stafford and Joseph Cullinane’s choreography gets the audience in a toe-tapping mood. The talented ensemble consists of Mike Baskowski, Kelly Black, Katie Scarlett Brunson, Caroline Chisholm, Joseph Cullinane,Will Geoghegan, Kelly

Gleason, Leeds Hill, Thadd Krueger, Lily Lewis, Mallory Nolting, Jason Daniel Rath, Joey Simon, Seth Lerner as the captain and Bob Walton as Elisha Whitney. It is hard to believe Porter penned the music and lyrics of this show 84 years ago. Americans needed to unwind, laugh

and experience some joy, a timeless message and “Anything Goes” will provide all that and more.This Bill Funking and Bill Stutler production of “Anything Goes” will be playing now through Sept. 9. For more information, call 592-2222 or visit broadwaytheatre.com.

Mamaroneck town gun ban approved

Despite the passage of a gun ban in the town of Mamaroneck’s municipal buildings last month, gun rights groups have yet to challenge the legality of the law. Photo courtesy Flickr.com

By JAMES PERO Staff Writer A month after the passage of a piece of legislation banning firearms in municipal buildings throughout the town of Mamaroneck, legal opposition to the law has yet to formulate. The local law, passed unanimously at the July 11 town board meeting, prohibits people from carrying firearms in town-owned and town-leased buildings, imposing potential fines of up to $1,000 for violators. Specifically, the legislation cites recent gun violence across the country as a major impetus for introducing and passing the regulation. “It really is a statement about safety in our community,” said Town Supervisor Nancy Seligson, a Democrat. “We should be public and vocal about not having guns in certain places and local government buildings.” Town Administrator Stephen Altieri said that the law—which went into effect on July 12—has yet to result in any fines. The

only means of enforcement, as of press time, will be signage posted in town buildings that is in the process of being created and installed. When reached by the Review this week, Scott Sommavilla, president of the Westchester Firearms Association, declined to comment specifically on the law but said the organization’s legal team is still reviewing the new regulation, as of press time. According to the legislation, the new rule will affect eight different municipal buildings including the Mamaroneck Town Center on West Boston Post Road, Hommocks Park Ice Rink and the Parks Building, located in Memorial Park. The law also includes exemptions for some gun owners including off-duty or on-duty police officers, retired police officers, security guards employed by banks or individuals “in the service of the United States.” Last year, a proposal from the town board that sought to ban guns on town property was

shelved after vehement public backlash as well as trepidation over the law’s constitutionality. That proposal looked to ban firearm possession on all town property, including public parks and other areas owned by the municipality, except for those that were authorized by the law. Among the major discussions leading the board to sideline the initiative was difficulty in deciding just how to enforce the law; specifically, whether the town had the resources to conduct adequate searches on members of the public entering a building. The town originally proposed that ban in late 2016, following the controversial opening of a firearms store near an elementary school in nearby Harrison. The town of Mamaroneck will join a wave of targeted gun legislation that has taken shape throughout Westchester County over the past year which includes a ban on gun shows held on county-owned property.

Latimer appoints new public safety leadership Westchester County Executive George Latimer announced the hiring of Tom Gleason as the new commissioner of the county Department of Public Safety and Terrance Raynor as the new deputy commissioner. The two men were sworn into office by Administrative Judge Kathie Davidson on Aug. 3. “We have two gentlemen taking on these responsibilities who are extremely well prepared,” Latimer said. “These are men who have been committed to service in police work for their adult lives. They have both been in-

volved with almost every aspect of policing at every level. Both of them know police work from the ground up. These are individuals who have experienced everything that our police experience. We are fortunate to have both of these men take on these responsibilities.” Gleason, a Yonkers native, is a graduate of Fordham University. He began his law enforcement career when he joined the county Department of Public Safety in January 1983 as a member of the patrol division. He rose through the ranks of detective, sergeant

His experience includes patrol, general investigations, welfare fraud, civil division (Sheriff’s Office), narcotics, office of Professional Responsibility and Special Investigations, field services and support services.

County schedules free Hepatitis vaccine To help protect themselves and the people they serve and care for, the Westchester County Department of Health encourages restaurant and childcare workers to register for a free Hepatitis A vaccine at one of two county clinics in White Plains. “Getting two doses of this vaccine can provide lifetime protection from Hepatitis A,” said Health Commissioner Sherlita Amler. “It can also prevent this infection from spreading to family members, young children in their care and to restaurant patrons they serve.” Clinic hours are Saturday, Aug. 11, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Tuesday, Aug. 14, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at 134 Court St., in White Plains. To schedule an appointment, go to health.ny.gov/gotoclinic/60. “As a restaurateur in White Plains for over 30 years, I’m glad the Westchester County Health

Department is offering this vaccine and I encourage restaurant workers to get it,” said Peter Herrero, owner of Sam’s of Gedney Way. “We need to be proactive in protecting ourselves, our loved ones and the community where we live and work.” Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection that can spread when a person who is infected with the virus fails to practice good hand hygiene after using the toilet, and then handles food and beverages served to others. A person who is infected can spread the virus without being aware of his or her infection. “This vaccine can help protect both childcare workers and the youngest babies and children they care for, so we are happy to endorse this effort and to get the word out about these clinics,” said Kathy Halas, executive director of the Childcare Council

Free Hepatitis Vaccination Saturday, Aug. 11 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 14 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. 134 Court St. White Plains, NY 10601 of Westchester, a not-for-profit clearinghouse for child care resources and advocate for quality, affordable and accessible care. Anyone who gets a first Hepatitis A vaccine at these clinics will need a second dose of vaccine at least six months later. Those who do not have health insurance coverage for this vaccine can make an appointment for the second dose at a Westchester County immunization clinic. (Submitted)

Westchester Medical Center shooter identified

The two people who died in a murder-suicide incident at Westchester Medical Center earlier today are a married couple from the town of Yorktown. They are Richard DeLucia, 71, and his wife, Ann DeLucia, 70, who was a patient at the hospital. Richard DeLucia shot his wife in her hospital room and then shot himself. Each died of a single gunshot wound. County police detectives found a note early this afternoon at the DeLucia residence. In that note, Richard DeLucia indicated

that he was distraught over his wife’s medical issues and wanted to end her suffering. In a press briefing earlier today, Police Commissioner Thomas Gleason said county police were notified at 9:39 a.m. that shots had been fired on the fourth floor of the hospital. A uniformed county police officer and two plainclothes officers arrived within two minutes, and proceeded directly to scene of the gunfire along with hospital security. They discovered that Ann

DeLucia had been shot in bed. Her husband and the weapon he used—a licensed .38-caliber revolver—were on the floor. Medical personnel at the hospital rendered care to both but they died of their wounds. “I am grateful to the Medical Center staff and the officers from the Westchester County Police, Mount Pleasant Police, Greenburgh Police and New York State Police for their prompt and professional response in the first minutes of this tragic incident,” Gleason said.

Gear heads LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

In case you haven’t already figured this out from reading these columns, I’m a pretty weird guy, especially when it comes to sports apparel. I’ve written about my various neuroses and superstitions when it comes to donning team gear—especially during the playoffs—and the innumerable good luck charms I have for each of my team’s postseason runs. So it may not surprise you that, when it comes to making my more casual team-related sartorial choices, I put a little extra thought into that as well. Earlier this week, I decided that—due to an upcoming trip to Fenway, an ever-expanding waistline since I hit my 30s, and the Red Sox’ recent trouncing of the Yankees, it may be time for me to update some of my Boston gear. I’ve had the same Nomar Garciaparra T-shirt since 2002, my Trot Nixon jersey has a huge coffee stain on the front, and my Sox

hat—which I’ve been wearing for the better part of a decade—looks like it was attacked by feral rodents. So maybe a little online shopping spree was in order. But as you may have guessed, nothing for me is quite that simple. When I buy jerseys or team t-shirts, I have a few hard and fast rules. I never like to pick the team’s current superstar, which right now, would be Mookie Betts. Mookie is far-and-away my favorite player on the Red Sox, but I worry that by purchasing apparel highlighting that fact is a surefire jinx. I’ve been burned a few times in the past too. After the 2004 ALCS, I bought a Johnny Damon shirt—two months later, he signed with the Yankees. After Giants’ rookie Jeremy Shockey trucked a Texans’ defender in a preseason game back in 2002, I immediately went out and got a Shockey jersey, only to watch him become a frustrating malcontent who never lived up to his promise. And the less said about my Scott Gomez Rangers’ shirt, the better. If I got a Mookie shirt, he’d

probably be on the DL within a week and demanding a trade to the Orioles by December. So Betts, it wasn’t. So eschewing any members of the current Sox roster, it means I have to opt for a throwback. Which raises issue No. 2 for me—I like to be original. The single best piece of sports gear I own is a throwback Rangers’ sweater with Jeff Beukeboom’s name on the back. “Book” was one of my favorite players of yesteryear; a big, rugged defenseman who was part of the 1994 Stanley Cup squad. But the best part about the sweater is that when I go to Madison Square Sports Editor Mike Smith has a few rules when it comes to buying his favorite team’s apparel.

Lake Isle wins counties

Lake Isle’s Lucianna Gutierrez competes in the 50-yard butterfly at Rye Playland on Aug. 2. Lake Isle outpointed Wykagyl Country Club to win its ninth WCSA title in the last 10 years.

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Aug. 2, the Lake Isle Swim Team added more hardware to the club’s trophy case, earning a decisive win at the 93rd annual Westchester County Swim Association Championships at Rye Playland. The victory was the latest in a string of triumphs for the club, which has taken home top honors at the counties nine times in the last decade. According to Lake Isle Swim coach Kevin Lavelle, who has

helmed the team for the last 11 years, the Eastchester club’s win was more a testament to the depth of the athletes than any one performance by a dominant swimmer. In addition to winning three relay events, Lake Isle had just one swimmer take gold in an individual event, as Melissa Lomas placed first in the 17U girls’ backstroke finals. “We had a lot of top eight finishes this year and we were really able to spread out the points,” Lavelle said. “We

didn’t really have that one swimmer this year, so it really speaks to our depth.” Lavelle noted that many of his top swimmers faced the added pressure of being among the youngest in their age groups, which may have been a factor in the relative dearth of first-place finishes. “We had a lot of swimmers in their off-ages, meaning that we had our 13-year-old swimmers in the 14-and-under age groups,” he said. “So we knew that just qualifying for the finals and having

that depth would be very important.” Lake Isle finished with a total of 309 points over the course of the four-day event, outpointing second-place Wykagyl Country Club by 94 points. Scarsdale Town Pool (192), Rye Golf Club (177) and Chappaqua Swim and Tennis Association (134) rounded out the top five spots in the 37-team field. Lake Isle led Wykagyl 239 to 181 coming into the final day of

competition, but Lavelle admitted that his squad’s victory was far from a sure thing. “We were definitely in a good position, but relays are worth a lot of points and a false start here or another team’s win there could have made a big difference,” he said. “We knew we had to swim our best.” Lake Isle’s Emily Gjertsen, 16, won a meet-high 20 points to lead the 17U girls division and Lomas finished with 15 to tie for fourth

place. Next year, with his top swimmers in several divisions another year older, Lavelle expects his swimmers to once again vie for the county crown. “I think our swimmers will come into the year with some high expectations,” he said. “Just from getting in there this year, qualifying for the finals, it was definitely a good experience for them.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
