schools, workplaces, governments and law enforcement officers all over the country to raise awareness, educate and empower residents with the knowledge they may need if they find themselves in this nightmare scenario. “Government’s most important job is ensuring the safety of its residents – and CRASE training is just another way we can meet that important task,” Latimer said. “This is a wonderful opportunity to inform and empower yourself in case of emergency.”

CRASE training is built around the principles of Avoid, Deny and Defend. The Westchester County police officers who conduct the training provide practical guidance and actions that the public can take during each of these stages, Public Safety Commissioner Thomas Gleason said. Gleason said: “CRASE is a proven plan to increase the odds of surviving if you are present during an active shooter incident,” Gleason said. Westchester County police

have already provided CRASE training to hundreds of county employees, many school district employees and other members of law enforcement, who have brought the training back to their local communities. In addition, county police have worked closely with educators, staff and students to enhance the prevention of, and response to, an active shooter event in school buildings where county police officers serve as School Resource Officers.

County Veterans Agency awarded grant with Iona

Westchester County, in partnership with Iona College, has been awarded a Workforce Development Institute grant. These funds will be put toward developing a veterans’ communication project aimed toward providing vets with skills and strengths that will lead to future employment. File photo

Continuing the Latimer Administration’s efforts to support veterans here at home, Westchester County has been awarded a Workforce Development Institute, WDI, grant. These funds will be put toward developing a veterans’ communication project aimed toward providing vets with skills and strengths that will lead to future employment. “These folks who gave so much for us by fighting to protect our freedoms deserve as much support as we can possible give them upon their return home.,” County Executive George Latimer said. “This grant is a small step toward providing that support— and we look forward to seeing the results it will produce.” The grant project, entitled Westchester County Veterans Communication Improvement, aims to assess the needs of the veteran population in order to better serve them by providing communication skills training, workshops and services. Ultimately, these services could enhance and improve veteran’s employment opportuni-

ties and enable them to enter the workforce. Westchester County Veterans Agency Director Ron Tocci said: “Our department is tasked with finding solutions to the challenges Westchester County veterans face here in our own backyard,” said Ron Tocci, county Veterans Agency director. “This grant will make it that much easier for our vets to find gainful employment—which is key to tackling all other challenges they may face when they come back home.” Sonja Brown, Workforce Development Institute Lower Hudson Valley regional director, added, “There is a strong need to provide communication skills, a skill necessary for employment opportunities, through innovative support programs and services to our veterans in Westchester County. The Westchester County Veterans Communication Improvement Project, in partnership with WDI, Iona College and Westchester County, will hopefully serve as a model throughout New York State.” WDI is a statewide organi-

zation that works regionally to identify targeted strategies that address workforce challenges, trends and opportunities. These strategies can include partnerships, training and funding. Many issues impact individuals’ capacity, productivity and earnings in the workplace market. WDI provides programs and services to help individuals thrive in the workplace. Building stronger communities in partnership with a focus to grow and keep good jobs in New York. “The Iona College Speech Communication Studies Department is honored to have the opportunity to partner with local veterans to sharpen their communication skills. We continue to work with veterans in developing “story scripts” to effectively enhance the interview process for veterans seeking employment, and we are grateful for the generous funding for this opportunity through the Workforce Development Institute,” said Dr. Jennifer Gerometta, chairwoman of Speech Communications Studies at Iona College.

County announces $8.7M for North County Trailway Standing beside a North County Trailhead on the North County Trailway in Mount Pleasant, Westchester County Executive George Latimer announced a capital project to improve the 22.1mile North County Trailway. The construction on Westchester County’s popular, multi-use trailway that runs from Eastview near the Greenburgh-Mount Pleasant border north to Putnam County, is underway thanks to the county Board of Legislators’ approval of an $8.7 million bond. “I am pleased that we will be able to make long-awaited improvements to this tremendously popular trail,” Latimer said. “This will be the first major construction project on the trail since it was first built in the 1980’s. It will be a win for all of us who

enjoy the trail when it is finally restored to like-new condition.” The North County Trailway was built along the Putnam Division railbed of the former New York Central Railroad, known colloquially in its day as the “Old Put.” The line provided freight and passenger service between the Bronx and Putnam County from 1881 to 1958. “This trail is a great resource for the Westchester Cycle club,” said Christine Schopen, president of the Westchester Cycle Club. “We are really proud of it, it’s beautiful and we use it all the time. Every level rider in our club has been on the trail. We really appreciate that it’s going to be repaired so we can use it safely.” This Trailway provides a great place to walk, jog and bicycle

The North County Trailway project includes

nearly year round. It is a great asset to our County Parks system,” said Kathy O’Connor, commissioner of the county Parks Department. “I look forward to its restoration.” The North County Trailway traverses the towns of Mount Pleasant, New Castle, Yorktown and Somers. It connects to the South County Trailway, which runs to Westchester’s border with the Bronx. The bond act also includes $300,000 for design of planned improvements to the South County Trailway, which connects to the North County Trailway at Eastview and continues south to the Bronx border. The project is expected to take approximately 14 months to complete. (Submitted)

Rare Van Der Zee photographs

d Matheus, Generation an Menjivar “Rubi, Second a itz Iar ” by First Generation

at ArtsWestchester Gallery A new exhibition opening in March at ArtsWestchester’s gallery will feature a significant collection of 33 works, including six vintage prints, by Harlem Renaissance photographer James Van Der Zee. In the era between the two World Wars, Van Der Zee’s New York studio was a place where the rising African-American middle class in Harlem could be represented as they wished to be seen. Van Der Zee’s photographs, chosen and loaned by Westchester resident Donna Mussenden Van Der Zee, the photographer’s widow, provided the inspiration for ArtsWestchester’s new exhibit titled “Modern Families.” The show also features work by 10 contemporary photographers who address themes of family and community from diverse points of view. “Modern Families” opens March 3 and runs through May 25 in the ArtsWestchester Gallery located at 31 Mamaroneck Ave., in White Plains. “The bonds of family—both given and chosen—are some of the most powerful forces in our lives and our communities,” said Janet T. Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester. “This exhibition explores the diverse faces and relationships that represent ‘family’ from the perspectives of eleven regional photographers.” The contemporary works in the exhibition include both studio-style portraiture and documentary work in which individuals and their given or chosen families interact in a variety of encounters between photographer and subject. Chris Verene and Gillian Laub document their own extended families and friends in Galesburg, Illinois and suburban Westchester. Iaritza Menjivar records her experience as the daughter of immigrants in an ongoing project titled “First Generation.” Tom Atwood’s series, “Kings and Queens in Their Castles,”

frames the gestures and expressions of LGBT couples and friends in richly informative home environments, while Stefan Radtke’s portraits of a wide range of Westchester families are compelling works of editorial photography. Barry Mason’s ties to communities in Mount Vernon are evident in his photos of families at public and private gatherings, and Shayok Mukopadhyay’s portfolio, “The People of Port Chester” unfolds in one of Westchester’s most diverse cities. Ocean Morisset’s street photography includes portraits of young LGBT groups that exemplify the chosen family as a source of affinity and pride. In Sandra Wong Geroux’s photos, the domestic family and communities intersect in images of her son and the athletic teams of his schools and their competitors. John Shearer’s landmark images from his chronicle of a street gang in the South Bronx in the early 1970s investigate an extreme form of “family” bonds. “The families we are given—blood relations—provide frameworks for the families we choose,” said Kathleen Reckling, ArtsWestchester director of public programs. “Groups united by shared values, lifestyles or emotional needs—religious associations, sports teams or community groups, for example—may also be defined and experienced as family. Whether the ones made for us or the ones we make, the families we recognize are networks of support and interaction that contribute to our identities in the larger world. We invite you to explore all of this and more at ArtsWestchester.” “Modern Families” is curated by Kathleen Reckling and Amy Kurlander. Group tours are available by appointment.

Iona announces scholarships for CNR students Latimer asks PSC to delay Con Ed moratorium After testifying in person at a meeting of the New York State Public Service Commission regarding Con Edison’s sudden proposed natural gas moratorium, Westchester County Executive George Latimer has officially filed a request for the commission to hold off on Con Edison’s proposed natural gas moratorium. In the request, the county states that “Con Edison has failed to make a case that customer demands cannot be managed through innovative practices without a moratorium on accepting new customers. The county contends that

Following news that The College of New Rochelle would likely close in the summer of 2019, Iona College announced plans to support CNR students by providing special scholarships for CNR graduate students to transfer to similar Iona graduate programs.

Following The College of New Rochelle’s statement on Friday, Feb. 22, that the 115-year-old institution would likely close in the summer of 2019, Iona College announced plans to support CNR students. “Recognizing our shared mission, history and home in the city of New Rochelle, we believe it is vital to take steps to support students of The College of New Rochelle,” said Dr. Joseph E. Nyre, president of Iona College. “We are confident other area institutions will also work to support CNR students.” Iona will provide special scholarships for CNR graduate students to transfer to similar Iona graduate programs including Marriage and Family Therapy, Mental Health Counseling, School Psychology, Childhood Education, and Communication Sciences and Disorders, among others. Graduate students interested in speaking with a graduate transfer specialist are invited to email helpingstudents@iona.edu. In addition, Iona will assist qualified undergraduate transfer students who wish to continue

their studies in New Rochelle by offering special transfer credit reviews, tours and financial aid assistance. CNR undergraduate students and their families will be welcomed to the Iona campus during the next regularly scheduled Transfer Tuesday event on Tuesday, Feb. 26, at 10 a.m., to tour campus, and learn more about Iona academic programs, residential and campus life. For additional information on undergraduate transfer admissions procedures and requirements, prospective students and families are invited to email Iona admissions counselor DJ Arndt at darndt@ iona.edu or call Iona’s Office of Admissions at 633-2502. Iona has been increasingly investing in academic infrastructure to launch and enhance nationally recognized programs. This fall, the college announced that construction will soon be complete on its new state-of-the-art business school facility, which will serve its nationally recognized and AACSB-accredited LaPenta School of Business. The college also recently launched the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship &

Innovation, a graduate program in Speech Language Pathology, and a new Occupational Therapy graduate program that will welcome its first class this fall. As Iona continues to enhance its academic portfolio, particularly in the area of Allied Health Sciences, it announces the hiring of Dr. Debra A. Simons, as director of Allied Health Initiatives. Dr. Simons currently serves as dean of the School of Nursing and Healthcare Professions at The College of New Rochelle and will join the Iona community on March 4. “Building on our growing presence in health science and allied healthcare programs, and in recognition of the national nursing shortage, we look forward to working with Dr. Simons to expand our current programs to include additional allied health programs,” said Dr. Darrell P. Wheeler, Iona College provost and senior vice president of academic affairs. “The announcement by CNR of their summer closure underscores the need for nursing in our area, as well as a continued pipeline to ensure local workforce needs are met.” (Submitted)

‘smart solutions,’ including energy efficiency and beneficial electrification can manage customer demand while allowing new customers to take gas services.” The county further notes that, “the commission must not allow a moratorium on accepting new customers to take effect until it has reviewed the staff report and taken appropriate action.” Later in the request, the county contends that the order is made necessary by negative impacts of the moratorium—noting that an estimate of the economic harm to be caused by Con Edison’s

moratorium was presented at the public statement hearing in Westchester by County Executive George Latimer. Latimer said the moratorium will impact affordable housing along with; • New residential units at risk – 16,000 • New commercial space at risk – 2 million sq. ft. • Lost construction jobs – 25,000 • Lost permanent retail jobs – 5,000-7,000 • Lost number of residents in Westchester County – 48,000 • Lost rental income - $60 million/year (Submitted)

A dream of spring LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

It may be snowing at press time here in New York, but I’m happy to announce that spring is finally in the air. On Feb. 22, Spring Training games finally kicked off for our Major League franchises, and, take it from me; it couldn’t have come at a better time. Do the games mean anything right now? Not a chance; but on Friday afternoon, I got to sit in my office, log in to my MLB.tv account and watch my World Champion Red Sox take on a hungry group of up-and-coming collegians from Northeastern University. And it was glorious. Sure, most of the guys on the Red Sox current Major League roster didn’t get an at-bat; the first game of the spring is always a time for minor leaguers to showcase their wares in front of the big league manager. But it didn’t matter; baseball was offi-

cially back. The sights, sounds and rhythms of the sport were on full display, which is a soothing balm for someone suffering through a—albeit temperate—northeast winter. Obviously MLB.tv can’t transmit other senses through the internet, but I could almost imagine the scent of the fresh-cut grass and ballpark franks—a staple of those lazy late-February days down in Fort Myers. Baseball writers have rightly opined that the beginning of baseball season signals re-birth, and as someone who’s lived through a barren stretch of sports up north, I’m certainly ready for a new slate. Since the Sox captured another World Series championship in October, it’s been a rough few months. The Giants and Jets seasons couldn’t be described as anything other than abject disappointments, the rebuilding Rangers parted ways with my favorite player—Mats Zuccarello—at the trading deadline last weekend, and the Knicks, who are ostensibly tanking for a top draft pick,

SPORTS

can’t seem to get out of their own way, winning two games in the last week alone! So it’s no surprise that I—and fans that root for our more traditional New York baseball teams— have been waiting for opening day with baited breath. The Yankees look like world beaters this year, with a dominant bullpen, revamped starting rotation and a few new additions that might make them the deepest team in the Major Leagues. The Mets—outside of the sort of front-office drama we’ve come accustomed to no matter who is leading the organization—appear to be much improved as well; and could have a burgeoning slugger on their hands in Pete Alonso. For local baseball fans, the season can’t start soon enough. Sure, living in the tri-state area, we’re probably in for at least one more big snowstorm and another month of cold weather. But baseball is back. And that’s enough to make me feel warm inside.

Game Notes: • The victory was Rye’s first at Byram Hills in 7 years • The Garnets will play Poughkeepsie in the Class A semis on Feb. 26 • Rye has won 12 straight games By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor In seven years as the head basketball coach at Rye High School, John Aguilar has never walked out of the gymnasium at Byram Hills as a winner. But on Thomas Flaherty looks for an open teammate on Feb. 21. Feb. 23, the underdog Garnets gave Aguilar his first road win over the Bobcats in their biggest game of the year, a 50-42 victory to advance to the Class A semifinals. For the No. 5 seed, the win marked the first time in four consecutive tries that the Garnets have advanced past the quarterfinal round. “It was unbelievable that when I walked in the locker room after the game, the players were congratulating me,” Aguilar told the Review. “This game was about them, but to see that, it meant a lot to me personally.” Rye’s victory meant even more to Aguilar, considering the selfless style of play that Rye needed to adopt in order to be successful this year. With a deep—but undersized—roster, the Garnets needed to quickly adapt to an unselfish, defensive style of play in order to take down their larger opponent. Employing a new defensive press for the first time all season, Rye locked down the explosive Bobcats, allowing just 17 firsthalf points. “I guess it comes down to a trust in the system, believing in it and understanding it from day one,” Aguilar said. “Even though we mixed up our defensive rotations, the kids had a comfort level with the system and the traps we Quinn Kelly goes up for a layup in the Class A first round. Kelly and the were using.” Garnets are now in the semifinals. Offensively, the Garnets were

led by Matt Tepedino, who had 14 points. Quinn Kelly scored 9 and Thomas Flaherty added 8 in the sort of balanced showing Rye has grown accustomed to over the course of its current 12-game winning streak. “This might be the smallest team I’ve coached, but it’s the deepest,” Aguilar said. “Even early on in the season, we made a conscious effort to give a lot of guys important minutes even if they weren’t quite ready for it.”

With the win, Rye moves one step closer to a berth in the Class A finals, but they will face a stiff test on Wednesday, Feb. 26, after press time, when they travel to Poughkeepsie to take on the top-seeded Pioneers. Poughkeepsie, which has not lost a Section I contest all year, advanced to the semifinals with a decisive 78-49 win over Albertus Magnus on Feb. 23. The winner of Wednesday’s game will play for the Class A title on March 2 at

Pace University. “They’re the No. 1 seed for a reason and they’ve got one of the best players in the section in Davontrey Thomas, who is a 6-foot-3 guard who is built like a power forward,” Aguilar said. “We’re going to have to limit them to one or two shots per possession, and offensively we’re just going to have to use our quickness to get them into foul trouble.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
