County board passes law to protect tethered dogs By a bipartisan vote of 16-1, the Westchester County Board of Legislators on Monday, May 20 passed a measure to protect pets by restricting how and when dogs can be tethered outdoors. Under the new legislation, dogs in Westchester no longer will be allowed to be tethered outdoors overnight or during a weather alert. Also, tethering to a stationary object is banned for dogs less than six months old, sick or injured dogs, or nursing mothers whose offspring are present. The new measure requires someone to be home when a dog is tethered outdoors, and defines what types of tethers are safe and acceptable, and requires tethered dogs to have adequate access to

food, water, dry ground and sufficient space, among other conditions to ensure safe and humane treatment “This is a clear, specific, focused piece of legislation that not only will protect the safety of animals, but also gives animal control officers unambiguous guidelines to enforce, making their jobs easier,” said county Legislator Kitley Covill, the co-sponsor of the bill and chairwoman of the board’s Legislation Committee. Dogs who are left tethered outdoors are at risk from extreme weather conditions. Often they lack access to food, water and shelter. Dogs tied up outside can strangle or injure themselves on their tethers. And tethering can increase the threat to humans. Ac-

cording to a study from the Centers for Disease Control, chained dogs are nearly three times more likely to bite someone than unchained dogs. “This legislation helps codify proper care, treatment and maintenance of dogs and will be a tool for animal control and law enforcement officers,” said fellow co-sponsor and county Legislator Margaret Cunzio, chairwoman of the board’s Public Safety Committee. Chaining or tethering a dog and leaving her or him out in extreme weather with little or no shelter is an inhumane practice. I am proud to have worked on this legislation and I look at this as a starting point to examine other issues involving the care of animals.” (Submitted)

The Westchester County Board of Legislators passed a measure to protect pets by restricting how and when dogs can be tethered outdoors. Under the new legislation, dogs in Westchester no longer will be allowed to be tethered outdoors overnight or during a weather alert.

Overlooking the runways at the Westchester County Airport and joined by lawmakers and environmental activists, County Executive George Latimer signed two executive orders aimed at advancing the health and safety of area residents. The two executive orders mandate biannual groundwater testing going forward for many contaminants, including “perand polyfluoralkyl substances,” PFAS, and effectively bans the use of dangerous PFAS at the Westchester County Airport as soon as permitted by federal law. “These Executive Orders are public policy of my Administration already—but informally— and we’re going to formalize them with an Executive Order,” Latimer said. “They represent protections for the people of Westchester County by making sure that these particular chemicals are always tested for and we as a County make an effort to be sure that these chemicals are not used on this property.” In 2018, Latimer voluntarily reinstated groundwater testing at the Westchester County Airport for pollutants after the testing program was discontinued in 2011. The program was discontinued without approval of the county Board of Legislators or notification to the public. PFAS are a class of toxic contaminants, previously used by firefighters during training, which pose an emerging threat to drinking water in many areas of the country. Westchester County Legislator Nancy Barr will introduce legislation that would codify these executive orders into

county law. “This is the culmination of conversations that we’ve been having over the last several months,” Barr said. “What I am proposing to do is to take these Executive Orders and codify them—make them law—so that they cannot easily be removed. I’m really proud to be able to introduce these. We feel on the legislature that this is our job to protect health and safety of our residents and that’s precisely what this law does.” These actions come from significant public input, including from many local environmental groups and are further evidence of the Latimer Administration’s collaborative approach to county government. The Coalition to Prevent Westchester Airport Expansion, an organization made up of many prominent environmental organizations represented at the press conference by Coalition Chairman George Klein and other key members, said, “More comprehensive and aggressive testing of ground water at the airport is a very welcome development, as is the elimination of firefighting foam containing fluorinated chemicals as soon as the FAA allows it. These actions will help protect our drinking water supply and public health from activities at our County airport. The Coalition supports a vibrant yet limited and environmentally responsible County airport that puts residents’ needs first.” Following the signing, Latimer gave Klein the pen used on the executive orders as a sign of his commitment to working collaboratively.

Latimer rolls out legislation to monitor precious metals, gems Law enforcement has identified an increase in crimes related to stolen goods which coincides with the onset of the opioid and heroin epidemic. And while laws currently exist to regulate precious metal and gem dealers, they are in need of an update to keep up with advancements in technology and changes in law enforcement trends. That is why, in a bipartisan effort, County Executive George Latimer, legislators Margaret Cunzio and Kitley Covill, the Department of Public Safety and the county Consumer Protection Department are updating these laws to help protect consumers from unscrupulous business activity and ensure that our county remains a safe place to live. “We are here to identify an action that we’re taking in the Legislature and then the executive

branch that, during this the end of National Police week, will help law enforcement professionals do their job a little bit better,” Latimer said. “We often talk about standing behind the brave men and women of law enforcement, and sometimes it’s a ‘showy’ type of situation—but sometimes it involves very specific and technical details that will improve their ability to enforce the laws. That is what this legislation represents.” Since secondhand dealers are often used to dispose of stolen goods, controls and regulations on the industry would assist in preventing the proliferation of these goods being sold for quick cash which is then in turn used to purchase drugs. The proposed local law would require metal and gem dealers to not only maintain written records of their transactions, but also submit daily elec-

tronic records of each transaction they make. This will provide law enforcement with the tools necessary to combat the secondhand sale of stolen, or otherwise illegally obtained, goods. “It’s critically important, especially in this day and age, to try to combat the sales of stolen property,” Public Safety Commissioner Thomas Gleason said. “The way that the law was on the books, which required paper submissions, was so far behind the times that changing to an electronic submission, in and of itself, is going to be a huge tool for us in crime-fighting.” This proposed local law would make sweeping changes to the current version of the law regulating precious metal and gem dealers which has not been otherwise updated since 1985.

‘A Singing Salute to New York City’ The Westchester Chordsmen chorus is proud to present its pre-summer concert, “A Singing Salute to New York City.” The concert features several well-known songs about the landmarks and boroughs of New York City, but also includes a number of new, original compositions by our resident composer/arranger, Steve Delehanty. “We’re excited to perform many songs that acknowledge and salute New York City,” said Thom Rosati, show chairman. “Steve’s addition of new songs makes this even more special.” This pre-summer performance will demonstrate special staging, fast-paced commentary and wellknown comic relief by our chorus and its quartets, promising to be entertaining for audience guests of all ages. Steve says, “This concert gives me the opportunity to write songs that describe and show my appreciation for our great city,” Delehanty said. “The chorus is excited to perform these songs as part of the overall Singing Salute.” In the recent past, the Chordsmen performed at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, sponsored five A Cappella Festivals for local area high school students, published Overtones Magazine in five separate editions for the past five years. (All attending the show will receive free copies of current annual issue.)

In addition, twice a year (in January and July), the Chorus conducts, “Ready-Set-Sing,” a six-week free course in singing and performance techniques. Men of any ages are encouraged to register in advance at chordsmen.org/readysetsing/

By Andy Landorf & John Colquhoun

The New 60 is a weekly look about what it’s like to be in your 60’s in today’s world: adult children living at home, downsizing (jobs and houses), finding old friends on Facebook and deciphering text-speak. It’s a Brave New World of second homes, second careers and second marriages…and finding out after a lifetime of milkshakes and ice cream that you’re suddenly lactose-intolerant. The New 60 is created by two local 60-plus Westchester residents, John Colquhoun of Bronxville and Andy Landorf, who hails from Tarrytown. The duo are long-time advertising creatives and this, as the saying goes, is their Act II. Even though it features folks in their 60’s, if you know someone who is 60, have a parent who’s 60 or just generally enjoy watching funny things happen to other people, you’ll find something to relate to here—you may even find yourself saying, “Hey, that happened to me!” To read more of the New 60, visit their website at thenew60comic.com.

MTA Metro-North Railroad President Catherine Rinaldi announced on May 22, a series of key accomplishments in implementing its Way Ahead plan, a roadmap that details actions to enhance safety, service, infrastructure, communications and transform customers’ day-to-day commuting experience. Metro-North launched Way Ahead six months ago as a proactive response to growing ridership, changing demographics and the evolving needs of customers. Coinciding with benchmarks met in its Way Ahead plan, Metro-North’s on-time performance numbers have been above goal. On-time performance through April 30, of this year, has been 95.7 percent, 2.1 percentage points higher than last year. There’s a 74 percent reduction in cancelled and terminated trains, and a 50 percent reduction in trains delayed by more than 15 minutes. The railroad’s vision through Way Ahead is to set the standard for safety, reliability and innovation in the delivery of excellent customer service. Metro-North has realized key aspects of its vision, and that means customers can expect safety upgrades,

improved communications, reinvigorated stations, renewed infrastructure, which all translates to an overall more positive commuting experience. Since Metro-North was formed in 1983, ridership has boomed from more than 41 million customers a year, primarily to and from “9-to-5” jobs in New York City, to an all-time high of 86.5 million customers in 2017. Way Ahead, a dynamic plan that responds to increased ridership and changes in how customers are using the railroad, sets the foundation for the continued growth and vitality of the railroad. “The transformation of Metro-North Railroad is no longer a plan, it’s happening,” Rinaldi said. “Operating from our core principles of safety, integrity and innovation, and all the while listening to commuters, we’re changing the railroad so that riding Metro-North is a more positive experience for our customers. We won’t rest on our laurels, and there’s still much work to be done, but we are all well on our way to developing an even stronger Metro-North for the future.” (Submitted) CONTINUED on next page

Highlights of Way Ahead Accomplishments: Safety

• Expanded TRACKS, Mero-North’s award-winning free community outreach program designed to educate and promote rail safety, to more than 100,000 reached in 2018, with the goal to reach 105,000 in 2019. • To amplify its safety message, Metro-North launched a poster contest for students in grades K-12 to promote rail safety. • All Metro-North Railroad crossings are now identified in the WAZE app. As drivers approach a crossing, a safety message will pop up on the screen. • Enhanced 78 grade crossings with LED lights. • Enhanced employee personal protective equipment program. • Expanded communications skills training for employees, with other 1,100 operations employees trained thus far.

Customer Service

• Station ambassadors are now in place at the six busiest Metro-North stations: Stamford, White Plains, Harlem-125th St., Fordham, New Rochelle and Croton-Harmon. • Created new Grand Central Terminal customer advocates. • Opened New Haven Line trains for travel between Fordham and Manhattan, adding the Fordham station stop to an additional 96 weekday trains. • Delivered major station improvements to White Plains, Riverdale, Crestwood, Port Chester, with Harlem-125th St., soon. • Improved accessibility by installing new elevators at Grand Central Terminal and a rehabilitated ADA ramp at the Nanuet station. • Trackside clean-up in the Bronx, with the removal of 47 tons of waste.

Communications

• 38 more stations now have real-time monitors. • New state-of-the-art “big boards” at Grand Central Terminal that are brighter, easier to read, can be nimbly updated in response to service changes, and do not compromise the terminal’s historical integrity. • More digital real-time information screens at Grand Central Terminal. • Hosted 11 “Connect with Us” forums for customers to ask questions and address concerns with Metro-North leadership. Three more “Connect with Us” forums are slated in the months ahead.

Infrastructure

• Metro-North crews replaced the Prospect Hill Road Bridge in Southeast, and the 14th Ave. Bridge in Mount Vernon is underway. • Through its new SMARTTRACK program, Metro-North crews are undertaking critical infrastructure work by strategically shutting down continuous segments of track, giving multiple work groups uninterrupted access to maintain and improve the system, crews completed a host of track improvements from Mount Vernon East to Pelham, including changing ties, rail and insulated joints, cleaning drains, welding joints, picking up garbage and upgrading switches. • Rigorous track work by Metro-North crews resulted in a 46 percent decrease in maintenance defects since 2014, and an 86 percent decrease in safety defects since 2014. Focusing on the Future, What’s Next in the Way Ahead Plan: • Arrival of more M-8 cars on the New Haven Line. • More station and accessibility improvements. • New Grand Central Terminal gate boards and departure boards. • Digital screen advertising on-board trains. • Continuation of the trackside clean-up effort. • Summer SMARTRACK work in the Bronx. • Complete New Haven Line catenary replacement.

Art show celebrates kindness at Rye Neck Schools Kindergarten through fifth grade students showcased their best artwork during the annual art show, held at F.E. Bellows Elementary School from May 7-9. Under the direction of art teachers Trisha Appel and Dara Goodman, this year’s art show focused on the idea of spreading kindness through the creation of artwork. “Through the use of color, shape, line and words, the students created a wide variety of

artworks, while immersing themselves in the creative process and studying different artists and art movements,” Goodman said. Fifth graders, who were inspired by Albrecht Durer, wrote words or phrases of kindness with quills. Fourth graders created colorful, collaged hearts inspired by Peter Max, and third graders created drawings inspired by Robert Indiana and Keith Haring. Second grade stu-

dents created three-dimensional hearts popping off the page, which were inspired by Max. Meanwhile, first graders created hearts inspired by Jim Dine and Zentangle patterns to share kindness with everyone. Kindergartners also learned about Dine and created hearts of kindness. The art exhibit also featured artworks that were created as part of an interdisciplinary project that connects art to the learning that goes on in the academic classroom. Third graders, who learned about Japanese art and culture, created drawings of pagodas and bamboo branches using gold and silver ink. Fourth graders, who learned about Native American art and culture, created stylized fish focusing on symbols, line work and a sense of movement. Fifth graders, who learned about Mexican art and culture, created sugar skulls inspired by Dia de los Muertos. In addition to the art exhibit, Appel and Goodman brought together students and adults to create an interactive, colorful, Keith Haring-inspired mural. “As art educators we always

try to incorporate current art happenings, gallery exhibits and museum shows into our projects, giving the opportunity to our students to see professional artwork firsthand, outside of

our classroom as well as inside,” Goodman said. “To feed off of the most recent Warhol retrospective at the Whitney Museum, we created multiple projects inspired by New York’s own

Andy Warhol. We had a ‘Warhol Corner’ designated for artwork inspired by the artist that visitors used as a backdrop for photo ops, just as in the Whitney exhibit.” (Submitted)

Race to the bottom LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

Late May is an interesting time in the professional sports world. The NBA and NHL finals are approaching, football teams are beginning their OTAs, and for the first time all baseball season, certain teams are beginning to establish themselves as strong candidates for the postseason. But here in New York, we are seeing local teams engaged in another sort of race; namely a race to the bottom. The last week or so has been interesting—to say the least—for our local teams. As soon as misfortunate falls upon one organization, it seems as though another steps in to steal the spotlight. Let’s take a look. Last week, the Knicks, despite a leagueworst record and the best odds in the NBA Draft Lottery, lost out on the top overall pick and, as a result, a once-in-a-genera-

tion prospect in Zion Williamson. A few days later, it was the New York Jets who stole headlines by announcing the firing of General Manager Mike Maccagnan, setting off speculation that his ouster was a result of newly-hired head coach Adam Gase winning an inter-organizational power struggle to assume command of all personnel decisions. On Monday, the Metropolitans waded into the fray, as they held a press conference to announce that not only would the club not be firing manager Mickey Callaway after a 20-25 start, but also that highly paid slugger Yoenis Cespedes—who has spent the better part of the last two years on the injured list—had suffered an ankle fracture while working on his Florida ranch and would definitely be lost for the remainder of the season. When it rains, it pours, huh? That rotten luck would strike one of these franchises—who have not been known for an

abundance of good fortune over the last few decades—isn’t farfetched. But that all this bad news dropped in the span of around seven days is mindboggling, even for fans. I mean, what’s next? Will Madison Square Garden suffer an infestation of bed bugs? Will the Mets lose their team luggage on the upcoming road trip and be forced to play their games in street close? Will the Jets leave town to join the Canadian Football League? At this point, none of these scenarios would surprise me in the slightest. But the connecting factor between all three scenarios is the general lack of professionalism of the franchises involved. The Yankees have had their struggles too, losing the majority of the starting lineup to injury early in the season. But the Yankees have a solid foundation and canny decision-makers in important positions who can help the team overcome speed bumps with a steady

hand. I certainly can’t say the same for the Mets, Knicks or Jets. So as difficult as it may be to root for these other teams, I’d

just have to tell you guys to sit back and enjoy it. You may not be watching a championship contender, but at least you’re watch-

ing history.

SEMIFINALS

RYE HS

Game Notes: • Caden Whalen led with 4 goals • Emmet Carroll had 13 saves for Rye • The Garnets will play Byram Hills for the Class C title on 5/24 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor If Rye has been a team defined largely by its defensive excellence this year, the past few weeks have been something of an eye-opener for teams around Section I, as the Garnets have proceeded to light up the scoreboard. On May 21, top-seeded Rye punched its ticket to the Class C championship game with another impressive performance, as they downed de-

fending champion Pelham 16-3. The Garnets, who spent most of the season winning low-scoring defensive struggles, have found another gear in the playoffs, wracking up 29 goals in their two postseason contests thus far. According to Rye head coach Steve Lennon, the Garnets’ recent offensive outburst is simply a function of being able to convert chances into points. “Honestly, I think we’ve been playing well offensively all year in the sense that we’ve been getting good looks all year, but early on, we were missing our shots,” he said. “But the games where our shooting has been on, we’re scoring 15 points a game, we’re able to move the ball and spread the wealth.” On Tuesday, the Garnets got another well-balanced offensive effort, as Tommy DeCaro, Danny Fitzgibbons, Sam Poole and Jack Bartlett all had three goals apiece. However, it was Freshman Caden Whaling who led all scorers with four goals. “Caden has a next-level work ethic, he competes every single day and he has a motor like none-other,” Lennon said. “But I

think it helps him to have guys like Tommy and Sam—who are a little overlooked—out there because they can take some of the pressure off.” Rye’s defense, predictably, was airtight, led by a stellar outing from goalie Emmet Carroll who made 13 saves on the afternoon before leaving the game in the fourth quarter. The Garnets have allowed more than six goals just once in their last 12 games. With the victory, Rye will take on No. 2 Byram Hills for the Class C championship on May 24 at Lakeland High School. The Bobcats topped Nanuet 15-3 in Tuesday’s semifinal matchup. Rye won the last meeting between the two finals-bound teams 8-3, and Lennon is ready for another defensive struggle in the title game. “I believe that Emmet and [Byram’s] Griffen Rakower are probably the two best goalies in Section I and we are anticipating that they are probably going to run a zone against us,” Lennon said. “We have to keep getting a ton of shots, and if we take that many, we are bound to score some.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
