Westchester County Tourism announces new travel guide

Westchester County Tourism & Film’s official travel and meeting guide is hot off the press. Brimming with beautiful photos, crisp graphics, and fresh content, the 60-page guide is a treasure trove for both visitors and residents and showcases the County’s extensive offerings.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “We have a thriving tourism and travel industry in Westchester County that generates $2 billion annually, supports thousands of jobs and provides millions in tax revenue for the local

economy. The destination guide is one of the many tools used to promote the many businesses that benefit from travel, tourism and visitor spending in our County.”

Overflowing with Westchester’s iconic sites and venues as well as extensive details on events and activities, the guide makes travel planning easy. This indispensable resource outlines everything from Westchester’s exquisite hotels and conference centers to the must-try dining scene, exceptional arts and cultural attractions, outstanding

entertainment, outdoor adventures and plentiful shopping. The fold-out map enables visitors to quickly plan itineraries that cover multiple points of interest.

Director of Tourism & Film Natasha Caputo said: “Whether you’re looking for family fun, cultural activities, conference space, group tour opportunities, team-building programs, a great spot for dining, or a romantic getaway, the Westchester Destination Guide will help you plan an unforgettable experience for business or leisure travel.”

On Tuesday, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Development Board (WPWDB) hosted a kickoff event at SUNY Westchester Community College Yonkers for the County’s annual Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program.

The VITA program helps low- and moderate-income individuals and families eligible for the Federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) file their taxes for free. The program also provides help for people with disabilities, senior citizens, and those for whom English is a second language.

VITA relies on dedicated volunteers to act as greeters, and assist with translation and call-center operations. Tax preparation is done by IRS-certified volunteers with free electronic filing.

The program is operating now through April 15 at nine locations throughout Westchester and the Bronx. Residents can call 211 or 1-800-899-1479 to schedule an appointment at one of nine locations listed below.

In 2023, the Westchester VITA program helped 1,759 residents. A total of $2.2 million federal and state refunds were received by Westchester residents.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “What started as a small program in 1969, to help the IRS increase taxpayer education, has evolved

into a critical resource for lowand moderate-income taxpayers. Today, the VITA program ensures accurate tax returns, equitable access to the tax code, and needed tax refunds for our working families and individuals who most need them. It also serves to boost the local economy; it’s estimated that about 80% of refunds are spent locally, generating sales, wages, and jobs.”

The program is delivered through a collaboration of partners who worked diligently to coordinate the day-to-day operations—2-1-1 Hudson Valley/ United Way of Westchester and Putnam; the IRS; Westchester County Government; Westchester Community College, Valhalla and Cross County Campuses; Mercy University, Dobbs Ferry and Bronx Campuses; Ossining High School; Ossining Youth Bureau; Westchester Jewish Community Services; and the Westchester-Putnam Career Center Network.

Call 211 or 1-800-899-1479 to make an appointment at one of the nine locations listed.

VITA Free Tax Prep Program

Runs from February 2 through April 15

Volunteer tax preparer and language translator assistance runs from February 2 through April 15 and is available at the sites below. Call 211 or (800) 899-1479 to make an appointment at one of the Westchester County VITA/EITC Tax Assistance locations.

New Rochelle celebrates Black History Month with City Hall gala

On Thursday, Feb. 29, in commemoration of Black History Month, the City of New Rochelle and the African American Advisory Committee hosted the Celebrating the Legacy of Black Culture Gala, a Black History Month event honoring the community’s spirit and deep cultural heritage.

The joyous night started at City Hall’s Rotunda Gallery where attendees connected with local officials and clergy members – including Mayor Yadira Ramos-Herbert, New York State Sen. Shelley Mayer, and Assemblyman Steve Otis. Local New Rochelle small businesses and restaurants offered a diverse culinary sampling featuring dishes from restaurants like Suggarplums, Ray’s Empanadas, Chef Ed, Jolos, D’Bay Café, Sweet Potatoes and Sweet Spice.

Further, in Council Chambers, the event paid tribute to the legacy of Reverend Dr. Wallace L. Noble of St. Catherine’s AME Zion Church with heartfelt speeches, spoken word, dance, and saxophone performances, along with a presentation highlighting Lincoln Avenue’s historic churches. Appointed pastor of St. Catherine A.M.E. Zion Church in August 2016, Reverend Noble revitalized the church with new ministries and a rebuilt plaza. Born and raised in New York City, he answered his ministerial calling in March 1975 under Reverend Idonia Stewart’s guidance. Ordained as a deacon in June 1978 and as an elder in October 1982, he remains actively engaged in the New Rochelle community.

Also honored was Lady Nettie Jean Weaver, wife of the late Pastor Reverend Allen Paul Weaver Jr., – a longtime senior pastor of Bethesda

“During Black History Month, we honor the profound contributions and enduring legacy of the African American community, who have shaped our City’s history and heritage,” said City Manager Kathleen Gill. “Our ceremonial gala is a reflection of New Rochelle’s continued commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and unity. With the collective support of our community , nonprofit partners, and local elected officials, we will continue to reaffirm this dedication to honoring all cultures.”

“In celebrating Black History Month, we pay tribute to the rich tapestry of African American heritage that has woven itself into the fabric of New Rochelle,” said Angela Davis-Farrish, chair-

person of the African American Advisory Committee. “The Celebrating the Legacy of Black Culture Gala stands as a testament to the enduring contributions of Reverend Dr. Wallace L. Noble and the broader community, who have tirelessly worked to uplift and empower our city. We look forward to continuing to shape this story with pride and positivity, throughout the year.”

Bowman should denounce cop killer LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor,

The Affiliated Police Associations of Westchester is calling on Congressman Jamaal Bowman to publicly denounce fugitive cop killer Joanne Deborah Chesimard, also known as Assata Shakur. Chesimard, a notorious cop killer, is currently one of the FBI’s most wanted terrorists and has a $1,000,000 reward out for her apprehension.

Disgracefully, Congressman Bowman has proudly admitted to putting the cop killer Joanne Chesimard on his “Wall of Honor” in the Bronx middle school where he once worked as the principal. Congressman Bowman has explained the purpose of the wall saying “Each and every member of the Wall of Honor has played a major role in moving our society from a bigoted, oppressive existence toward a world of freedom, justice and equality,”

Chesimard was one of three people accused in a May 2, 1973 shooting that broke out when they were stopped in their vehicle for a motor vehicle violation on the Jersey Turnpike. At the time, Chesimard was wanted for her role in several other felonies, including a bank robbery. Chesimard and her accomplices opened fire on police, executing New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster.

A second trooper was also wounded in the shooting.

Chesimard, was found guilty of first-degree murder, assault and battery of a police officer, assault with a dangerous weapon, assault with intent to kill, illegal possession of a weapon, and armed robbery. She was sentenced to life in prison. On November 2, 1979, Chesimard escaped from prison and lived underground before being located in Cuba in 1984. She is thought to currently still be living in Cuba.

Joanne Chesimard, aka Assata Shakur is a cop killer, an armed robber and a fugitive from justice. She is not a hero and there is no place for her on any “Wall of Honor.” Murdering a dedicated public servant does not move the world any closer to a more just society.

Congressman

Bowman’s misguided adulation of a cop-killer is appalling. That Congressman Bowman was teaching middle school children that Chesimard was worthy of honor is disgraceful.

Keith Olson President,

Affiliated Police Associations of Westchester

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor, Jamaal Bowman’s four years in Congress show that he fundamentally misunderstands the purpose of representative government: to represent the interests and needs of the district, not his own agenda.

Mr. Bowman has demonstrated poor character by engaging in false attacks against County Executive George Latimer. Mr. Latimer attended a fundraiser of a longtime supporter whose husband has donated to Republican candidates. It seems that Mr. Bowman doesn’t believe that a wife can have a different opinion and political party affiliation from her husband – not too progressive an idea.

Mr. Bowman promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories which he now “regrets,” an idea so fringe as to render him unfit to serve in Congress. And, of course, there is the fire alarm incident. Mr. Bowman’s “explanation” insults the intelligence of his constituents. Mr. Bowman has now aligned himself with Rhasida Tlaib – the only Congressperson to not vote to condemn Hamas’ sexual violence. In a slap in the face to her party, she called on Michigan Democrats not to vote for President Biden in the primary. With friends like these, as the saying goes.

In stark contrast, George Latimer has represented Westchester County for decades, working tirelessly and without fanfare: electric buses, Memorial Field in Mount Vernon, legal assistance for indigent evictions, to name a few.

The residents of District 16 can be assured that Mr. Latimer will listen to their concerns and advocate for their needs in Congress. It’s time we elect a person of character who will actually represent us.

Another Golden Week

Well, that was a blast wasn’t it?

Last week was Championship Week at the Westchester County Center, and if you thought the seminal round games were something, the last weekend of Section 1’s winter season certainly didn’t disappoint.

And even if The Review’s teams didn’t come out on top—out of the seven squads who reached the semifinals, only Tuckahoe’s girls claimed a Gold Ball at the end of the week—the entire production was certainly worth its fair share of memories.

In terms of the finals, there wasn’t one game that I covered that wasn’t chock full of drama, for good or bad.

In three of the four cases, our teams saw a first half lead—some big, some as small as one point— slip away down the stretch, something that, while excruciating for the players, gets that low-simmer of the County Center crowd into a hot boil.

Every big shot by Byram’s Tyson Repa and Chris Amenedo that chipped away at Rye’s lead was met with bigger exhortations from the Bobcat student section, and when Zach Efobi threw down a rim-rocking dunk in the fourth, it felt like the roof was going to blow right off Westchester’s most famous arena.

Mount Vernon’s guard play and high-energy defense really set the tone for the Sunday afternoon crowd against New Rochelle and when the Knights finally took the lead late in the fourth quarter, you could just tell that the fanbase of

this storied program was ready for another County Center moment to add to the library—one made all the more special because it was the rare time the Knights would head into a championship game as an underdog.

The final game I caught last weekend, Sunday’s Class C girls championship, there was a different sort of feeling entirely. Tuckahoe and Hamilton absolutely slugged it out in a gritty, physical contest filled with talented young players, and while nothing in sports is a given, you got the sense that this is the beginning of a rivalry that’s going to be be a must-watch in the next three or four years. Fans seemed to know that this was the start of something that’s going to have a major impact on the Class C landscape for years to come.

So where does that leave us now? Honestly, feeling a bit empty.

There’s a void now, as we take a break and get ready for spring, but like any good meal, basketball fans certainly had their fill this weekend. The only problem is we have to

wait a whole year before we get the chance to dine again.

Huguenot boys, girls fall in title games

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

New Rochelle High School came into Sunday’s Class AAA finals with a chance to crown not one, but two Section 1 Champions, as both the boys and girls varsity squads took the court at the Westchester County Center.

Unfortunately for the Huguenots, however, two hard-fought games ended with New Rochelle going home empty handed.

In the day’s first game—a showdown between No. 6 New Rochelle and No. 1 Ketcham, the Huguenots were able to overcome some early foul trouble—for a time—heading into halftime with a one-point lead over the heavily favored Pride’s. But Ketcham soon played to their pedigree—the team’s only loss to Section 1 competition this year came to eventual Class AA champ Albertus Magnus—opening up a sizable lead in the second half before going on to win 51-44.

The Huguenots Grace Ziogas had 15 points to keep her on pace with Ketcham’s top scorers Jennifer Nardelli and Allison Kaminski, but the Pride’s

size proved just too much for New Ro to overcome, especially once the team was forced to play stretches without both center Skye Pressley and point guard Stella Ziogas for extended periods of time due to foul trouble.

“Losing our point guard and our center, that definitely hamstrung us, but we still played hard,” said New Rochelle coach Donald Lucas. “At the end of the day we battled through that, battled through having some girls sick, and Ketcham just had a little bit too much for us.”

New Rochelle’s boys had similar late-game struggles in the Class AAA finals, seeing a nine-point second half lead evaporate against a gritty Mount Vernon team it had beat twice during the regular season. The Knights stormed back thanks to a high-energy press and some inspired play from 5-foot-6 point guard Tavien Taylor, who scored 16 of his gamehigh 26 points in the fourth quarter to give Mount Vernon a 41-37 victory, earning longtime head coach Bob Cimmino his 20th Gold Ball in the process.

New Rochelle head coach Rasuan Young credited

Taylor and the Knights with a tremendous second half performance, noting how hard it is to beat any top team three times in one season. In the semifinals, Young’s Huguenots upset league champ Mamaroneck

in similar fashion.

“Right now, our guys are unfortunately experiencing what we did to Mamaroneck in the semifinals, it’s so tough to get that third win,” said Young. “But I give all the credit in the world to my

team, especially seniors like Kas Mirza, who put it all on the line today.”

Mirza was stellar for the Huguenots in their biggest game of the year, notching a team-high 20 points.
