‘Platinum Mile’ offices set for possible transformation By FRANCO FINO Staff Writer

Town seeks to amend replacement of trees law The Harrison town board is seeking to amend a law that allows individuals to remove and not replace trees in an effort to address the concerns of residents and property owners, according to the mayor. The law currently mandates property owners to submit plans showing the removal and replacement of trees only when a building permit is required and when more than three trees are to be removed. As it stands, the law permits property owners to remove trees without replacing them. Harrison is now seeking to change the law by obligating all property owners to provide and plant a new tree for each tree

removed, bearing in mind the anticipated survival rate of the tree. The law would also mandate property owners to submit removal and replacement plans regardless of where a building permit is required and how many trees are to be removed. Mayor Ron Belmont, a Republican, said, “I think amending the law is long overdue and I don’t see why the [town board] will not approve it.” According to the mayor, there have been numerous complaints from residents about property owners removing and not replacing trees. “This has been an issue with residents for a long time, and the public hearing is a

result of that,” he said. The public hearing to amend the tree law is scheduled for Sept. 15, as of press time. According to Republican Councilwoman Marlane Amelio, residents concerned with maintaining safety and flooding and erosion issues would also support amending the tree removal legislation. “Trees are known to prevent erosion and flooding,” said Amelio, who supports the amendment. “In some cases, trees that have become too large or dangerous can be replaced with smaller versions without changing the landscape of a neighborhood too drastically.” Belmont also mentioned that

there are other current provisions of the law that are an issue. The enactment currently establishes that residents are obligated to seek the discretion of the town Tree Committee when removing and replacing trees. However, according to Belmont, the provision, which was adopted in 1989, does not take into account that the committee no longer exists. Following the amendment’s approval by the town board on Sept. 15, the mayor said it will be the responsibility of the town Building Department to conduct inspections for tree removal in place of the defunct tree committee. -Reporting by Franco Fino

The first mixed-use development proposed for the town/ village of Harrison’s “Platinum Mile” to replace an old office complex at 103-105 Corporate Park Drive will reverse a downward trend in generated revenue and spark more business expansion, town officials say. Normandy Real Estate Partners and Toll Brothers, a publicly owned home building company, is proposing to build a 421-unit rental development and indoor parking garages at the Corporate Park Drive location off Interstate 287 to be known as the Residences at Corporate Park Drive, replacing two antiquated office buildings. The proposed multi-family development will include 5,000 square feet of space for a restaurant and other commercial expansions, as well as 10,000 square feet of recreational amenity space, which includes courtyards and a swimming pool. “Most of the community is really excited about the development, and we’re really looking forward to getting started,” said Mayor Ron Belmont, a Republican. The mayor explained that the residential development will help solve a growing issue with the town’s tax base. During its height in the late 1970s and 1980s, the town generated as much as 68 percent of its annual tax revenue from corporations such as General Foods, Texaco and IBM, which have since left the area in search of newer, modern buildings, according to Belmont. To date, after an overwhelming

amount of corporate departures, Harrison generates approximately 18 percent of tax revenue from businesses along the Platinum Mile. “We want to reverse that trend,” Belmont said. Among those in favor of the residential development also include the local business community. “Many companies today are relocating to cities where millennials prefer to live, work and play, [but] many young adults are being priced out of those cities [and] are looking to satellite cities and other urban areas,” said Bill Mooney, president and CEO of the Westchester County Association. “That spells opportunity for Westchester County.” However, with nearly three years passing since developers proposed to repurpose the land, the developers and the town have collectively encountered a number of hurdles in order to get the project off the ground, according to the mayor. “Part of the [permitting] process is the reason why it’s taken so long to begin the project,” Belmont said. As of press time, the developers are seeking to acquire a special exemption use permit, which would allow for construction to begin. The public hearing in front of the town board is scheduled for Sept. 1, after press time. The land designated for Residences at Corporate Park Drive has long been associated with a contentious county debate about affordable housing as well.

Liberatore pulls Rye Town Park restaurant proposal

The Rye Town Park Commission is currently reviewing a proposal from John Ambrose, the present restaurant tenant and co-owner of Seaside Johnnies, following the withdrawal of Angelo Liberatore’s plan on Aug. 15. Photo/Andrew Dapolite

By FRANCO FINO Staff Writer One of two submitters to operate a restaurant at Rye Town Park has withdrawn their proposal to manage the park’s restaurant, snack and concession stands. Angelo Liberatore told the Rye Town Park Commission that he is foregoing his plan to revamp the park’s restaurant area after giving it some additional thought. The news was announced at the commission’s meeting on Aug. 16. According to Rye Town Supervisor Gary Zuckerman, a Democrat and member of the commission, Liberatore reached out to him prior to the latest Rye Town Park Commission meeting and decided to withdraw his proposal on Aug. 15. Following a request for proposals, RFP, that was sent out in late June, the commission received two proposals: one from Liberatore, an operating partner of the Fort Pond Bay Company—which operates Half Moon and Harvest on Hudson in Westchester County, as well as East by Northeast and The Stone Lion Inn in Montauk—and one proposal from Sam Chernin and John Ambrose of Seaside Johnnies, Rye Town Park’s current restaurant tenant. “I feel just as good now about keeping the restaurant as I did before the other party withdrew,” Ambrose said. The Rye Town Park Com-

mission—which consists of representatives from the city and town of Rye, and the villages of Port Chester, Rye Brook and the Rye Neck section of the village of Mamaroneck—is responsible for setting policy at the park, which has been around since the early 1900s, and governing its operations. The restaurant is located at 95 Dearborn Ave., off of Forest Avenue in the city of Rye, and is open seasonally from April until September each year. Seaside Johnnies’ lease agreement expires at the end of 2016. Zuckerman said that Liberatore cited issues with the proposal’s timeframe not being long enough to prepare for the 2017 season. The restaurateur said it would be difficult to align the management of the park’s restaurant with several other restaurants he co-owns, according to the Rye town supervisor. Despite the pulled proposal, however, the park commission is still mulling the review process. “I think that we need to have a better understanding of why one person pulled a proposal and why others didn’t follow through with their bid [before a decision is made],” said Rye City Councilwoman Julie Killian, a Republican and member of the commission. The park commission did not disclose any information about others submitting bids to operate the restaurant. The operators of Seaside Johnnies are proposing an ex-

pansion on their current restaurant theme, while adding a tropical twist. With proposed refurnishing for the beachfront snack bar and the entrance to the main restaurant, the proposal also includes updating equipment, extending the bar and adding an indoor fireplace. The proposal estimates the construction to cost about $1 million. During the park commission meeting, members suggested the restaurant remain open yearround or to have its timeline extended further into the fall. But according to Ambrose, the Seaside Johnnies operators will not entertain measures to extend the restaurant’s timeline if their proposal is accepted by the commission. “Business just dries up after Labor Day,” he said. “In theory it’s a great idea, but knowing how things drop off, it’s not a practical one.” Zuckerman said the commission has no intentions of forcing the restaurant’s operator to remain open any longer than what he feels is necessary for practical business. The commission, which will meet again on Sept. 20, will have until Oct. 7 to make a decision on whether or not to accept Ambrose’s proposal. “We look forward to finalizing a deal with the commission,” Ambrose said. According to Zuckerman, the commission has the jurisdiction to reopen the RFP if it does not reach a decision with Ambrose. CONTACT: franco@hometwn.com

Arts & Craft Beer Fest offers unique events Still creating buzz in Westchester County, the 2016 Arts & Craft Beer Fest continues to offer local residents and visitors a calendar of unique events that provide just the right mix of excitement for arts enthusiasts and craft beer lovers. Organized by ArtsWestchester in partnership with Half Time, Taste NY and Westchester County Tourism, the festival provides visual art, music and New York state craft beers at select events, including the Harbor Island International Beer Festival on Saturday, Sept. 24. “It’s not your typical beer fest,” said Janet Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester. “Combining arts and craft beer offerings creates a unique synergy for people looking for fun things to do this summer and fall. This innovative business partnership provides a great way to bridge our respective followings and diversify and grow our audiences. We are thrilled to continue this series through November and hope to expand the initiative throughout the Hudson Valley region in years to come.” The partnership between the cultural industry and the craft beer industry kicked off in May at ArtsWestchester’s annual spring event, ArtsBash, and continues through November. At each arts and craft beer event, New York state craft breweries are paired with select events at Westchester’s renowned cultural institutions to offer arts and beer enthusiasts unique entertainment experiences. The initiative bridges these two creative industries in order to boost the local economy and build tourism. The ArtsWestchester events are supported by a $50,000 Craft Beverage Marketing and Promotion grant. The grant supports the promotion of eight county art events related to craft beer. The grant program launched in 2014 as a result of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s second Wine, Beer, Spirits and Cider Summit and was created to increase the profile, awareness and sales of New York state-produced wine, beer, spirits and hard cider. Funding is provided by Empire State Development in coordination with New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. “We are continuously looking for ways to support New York state’s booming craft beverage

industry, and by bringing together the creativity and innovation found in both the arts and craft beverage sectors, we are able to entice even more visitors to experience everything the Hudson Valley region has to offer,” said Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Howard Zemsky. “I encourage both locals and visitors to support our local businesses and attend one of the events hosted by ArtsWestchester this year.” Among the lineup of unique events, the Harbor Island International Beer Festival will take place at Harbor Island Park in Mamaroneck on Sept. 24. During the event, guests will be able to experience an interactive paint event produced by ArtsWestchester while enjoying nearly 200 domestic and international renowned breweries from around the world, creative food servers and top chefs from Westchester County and New York City. The festival will also provide great music and wonderful views of the harbor and the magnificent Long Island Sound. For more information and tickets, visit harborislandbeerfestival.com. “The collaboration between the arts and craft beer industries has helped ArtsWestchester attract young professionals to Westchester arts events,” Langsam added. “Both the brewmasters and artists are brought together, adding creative and entertainment value to the consumers’ experience.” Half Time has been supplying craft beer and cider enthusiasts with an elaborate selection of beer and cider for more than a decade and employs some of the most knowledgeable beer

and cider experts in the state. Alan Daniels, the owner of the two Half Time stores in New York, featuring 5,000 beers and hundreds of ciders, believes that showcasing the art of the brew master at ArtsWestchester’s event is a perfect fit. “In addition to partnering on the events, Half Time is extremely excited to collaborate on a special commemorative growler with ArtsWestcester,” said Jason Daniels, chief operating officer for Half Time. “With the goals of promoting the relationship of art and craft beer, as well as a new partnership to develop an arts presence at Harbor Island International Beer Festival, growlers are an integral part of our business, and an important facet of providing the freshest beers to our consumers. We found it imperative to spice up our artwork on our growlers, and who better than ArtsWestchester to design our newest drinking vessels.” Jason Daniels added that the Harbor Island International Beer Festival is the largest of its kind on the East Coast, and it’s expecting 7,000 to 10,000 patrons this year. There will be more than 450 beers from more than 200 breweries from six different states offered, along with around 30 food venders from the New York metropolitan area and up and coming artists and a daylong DJ performing. Taking public transport, particularly the MetroNorth Railroad New Haven line to Mamaroneck, is encouraged to prevent drinking and driving.

Q. Why did you decide to run for elected office, and what is the platform you plan to run on? A. I’m disappointed with the actions of the current town board and mayor, which is the Republican administration. The platform is to analyze overspending of taxpayer dollars, end nepotism in government, and create transparency in government.

Q. Do you feel it’s important to keep a Democrat on the otherwise all-Republican town board? A. I believe it’s important to have a true Democrat in that seat, although a dissenting Republican would be an improvement over Mr. Stout. It’s not so much your party affiliation as much as how you’re voting and your responsibility to the townspeople. Q. Given your lack of political experience, what skills do you have that you think would benefit you in municipal government? A. I’m experienced in financial analysis. I’ve been working in finance for more than 10 years in front office trading. I have close to 20 years of software developQ. Why did you decide to run for elected office, and what is the platform you plan to run on? A. I think keeping [Harrison] reasonably affordable for people to be able to live is important. I have almost 40 years of experience in government—from villages to towns to the county… I kind of know how government works. Village and town governments: that’s where people get most of their services from. Your sidewalks get cleaned, your garbage gets picked up, the streets get plowed, you have local recreation and parks programs, you have senior programs, you have police protection, you have fire protection. Knowing how that stuff works is important, and how to make it work as efficiently and effectively and as cheaply as you can do it. The recreation center is 100 years old. The fire house downtown is sinking. So there are things that need to be addressed. And, my background, I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of capital projects, well over $250 million worth of them and a lot of

ment experience. The government is largely a financial organization. Allocating resources is the greatest action that the [town] board and the government take. It’s the most power that the town board exercises. Q. What are the biggest issues currently facing Harrison? A. To sum it up, it’s questionable financial judgment, and that goes to things like privatization of garbage and the zoning issues within the town. Q. What is the best way to approach/address those issues? A. Save Harrison Inc. views the zoning amendment as illegal and we’re suing the town. They should repeal the law. We should not be privatizing garbage because we already have our own fleet of trucks that canvases the town. We can control that expense better on our own. And we should reduce the amount of bonding and borrowing that we’re doing.

monitor, James Johnson, recommended that the Justice Department should take action on Harrison for having exclusionary zoning. Do you think the town is doing enough to promote affordable housing? A. Harrison is a relatively affordable community as far as Westchester goes. But we should always examine affordable housing and work closely with the HUD administration. Q. You have been vocal against the zoning amendment passed unanimously by the town board in May, which created a special exception use to allow the building of senior living facilities on four residentially zoned properties, including the Lake Street Quarry which is being considered for the development of a Brightview Living Center. Why are you against the amendment? What do you say to the board that voted for it? A. It is unfair and illegal and it was done improperly. It was not communicated to the townspeople. And it’s illegal because they singled out one property to be rezoned in a residential area which is, in fact, residential property that was under a special exception use permit.

Q. Before his resignation, the former HUD

them are the same: buildings, roofs, boilers.

A. When I worked for the county as the commissioner of parks, I had a lot of authority in terms of making decisions. There was an administrator or a manager that did the day-to-day stuff so you didn’t have to go to the board for everything.

Q. Do you feel it’s important to keep a Democrat on the otherwise all-Republican town board? A. I think what matters is being efficient and making decisions for the right reasons and not making them for political or for ideological reasons. At this level of government, I don’t think there’s any place for ideology. At this level of government, it comes down to how you provide the services that the community wants. I really don’t think that there’s a Republican way or a Democratic way to do most of what we do. Mayor Bloomberg had a line that I loved. He said, “In God we trust; everyone else brings data.” I like performancebased measurements more than emotional-based measurements. I’m a moderate Democrat. I’m fiscally responsible and I think I have socially moderate views. I’m not an ideological warrior. Q. How has your first seven months as councilman differed from what you expected?

Q. What are the biggest issues currently facing Harrison? A. Trying to keep what we have affordable in the community and under the tax cap. There are a lot of development opportunities that are coming. We’re waiting for Avalon to start at the train station. There’s the one in Purchase at 103-105 Corporate Park Drive that went the other night. We need to make sure that those developments get done appropriately. Q. What is the best way to approach/address those issues? A. I think you have to look at all of the options, including privatization and seeing if things have to be done with municipal employees. Are there certain fees that you can look at to try to STOUT continued on page 9

The Giving Circle donates $78K in grants The Giving Circle of Lower Westchester awarded a record $68,000 to 20 nonprofit organizations that serve the hungry and food insecure in lower Westchester County. Award winners— generally food pantries and soup kitchens—were selected based on their exceptional work providing food and services to diverse communities in need. Each organization will receive grants of $1,000 to $6,000 through credits for food purchases from the Food Bank for Westchester, FB4W. In addition, the Giving Circle provided $10,000 in funding to two preschools—New Rochelle Day Nursery and the Yonkersbased Queens Daughters Daycare under the FB4W’s Green Thumb program. Both preschools will receive a monthly distribution of “Green Thumb Bags” containing six to eight varieties of fresh fruits and vegetables. The program advances a key priority of improving the nutritional value of food made available to those at risk of hunger in Westchester County. This is the second year the Giving Cir-

cle is providing such funds. The $78,000 total funding by the Giving Circle in 2016 represents a 10 percent increase over its 2015 grants of $71,000. The FB4W estimates that 200,000 residents in the county are at risk of hunger or facing food insecurity. More than 33 percent are children and more than 22 percent are seniors. The Food Bank for Westchester provides 95 percent of all emergency food distributed in the county. For more information about Food Bank for Westchester,

That is why it is really important that we all work together to help those who are hungry in our communities,” said Ellen Lynch, president and CEO of the Food Bank for Westchester. “We are pleased to partner with The Giving Circle of Lower Westchester to help local agencies provide food services for those who are in need.” “Thanks to our generous members, the Giving Circle continues to expand its ability to

Con Edison work and sanitation changes HARRISON HAPPENINGS Mayor Ron Belmont

Recently, the West Harrison Fire Department hosted a wet-down ceremony for their new firetruck, Engine 267. This time-honored ritual is celebrated when a fire department commissions a brand-new apparatus. As is commonly practiced, the West Harrison Fire Department anointed their new truck by spraying the entire engine with water. It was a wonderful event and I was happy to be part of this important tradition. Please take note that Con Edison is continuing to work on a gas line construction project on Halstead Avenue, between West and Oak streets, and may need to store supplies and equipment along the road. They may also need to excavate parts of the sidewalks, driveways or lawn area. If your property is affected, Con Ed will restore it. In addition, they will make every effort to expedite the completion of work and minimize the disruption. Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 5 and is a town holiday. Please be advised of the following sanitation schedule change for the week of Sept. 5: Garbage and recycling normally collected

on Monday will be collected on Tuesday, Sept. 6. Tuesday’s collection will be made on Wednesday, Sept. 7. There will be no bulk trash collection on Sept. 7. On Sept. 7, the Harrison EMS will be holding a blood drive at the Veterans Memorial Building from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. To schedule an appointment, please call 1-800 RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org and enter the sponsor keyword “HarrisonEMS.” Walk-ins are welcome and new donors are needed. I would like to take this opportunity to suggest that all residents examine the trees on their property, checking for dead or diseased limbs. During inclement weather, damaged trees can fall on homes and utility lines, causing power outages and property damage. Before storm season arrives, it would be prudent for homeowners to prune trees and trim, cut back or tie up any unhealthy offshoots. In the same fashion, please make sure to trim bushes and flowering shrubs that impede neighborhood sidewalks. Unruly plantings often cause people to walk in the street, creating a dangerous situation for motorists and pedestrians. On Sunday, Sept. 11, I will be joining Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino in commemorating the 15th anniversary

of 9/11 at the Rising Memorial at Kensico Dam Plaza, Valhalla. The program will include the laying of a wreath, performances by county residents and a reading of the names of the 111 Westchester County residents and 12 former Harrison residents who lost their lives on that day. The ceremony begins at 7 p.m. and all are welcome to attend. The Harrison-Mamaroneck Rotary, in partnership with South East Consortium, invites our entire community to a wine tasting event sponsored by the Harrison Wine Vault. This fundraiser will take place at Emilio’s Ristorante on Thursday, Sept. 15 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Raffle prizes and auction items will be featured. Tickets must be purchased in advance. For additional information, please contact Sarah Canzone at 381-6700 ext. 350. In closing, I would like to wish all of you a joyful Labor Day weekend. At this time, I urge you to honor our country’s men and women who contribute to our national workforce. I would especially like to recognize our teachers, municipal staff, police, firefighters and emergency personnel who dedicate themselves to improving and protecting our community. Again, I hope you and your family have a happy and safe holiday weekend.

all Westchester County housing organizations, previously spoke before the town Planning Board to advocate for affordable housing at the Corporate Park Drive location. Former federal court-appointed U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD, monitor James Johnson recommended in April that the U.S.

Department of Justice consider suing seven Westchester municipalities, including Harrison, in order to force the county to comply with a 2009 affordable housing settlement. Despite the controversy, Belmont said the town is currently “considering” affordable housing for the proposed development, but indicated that nothing

is official. In April, the Harrison town board also approved a zoning change that would allow for residential developments, commercial spaces and restaurants to be built in the special business district located in the Purchase hamlet of the town. CONTACT: franco@hometwn.com

Chase is a super sweet Lab/whippet mix, about 3 years old and 33 pounds. He loves going for romps in the dog park and is friendly with other dogs and people, too; although he gets a little nervous when people approach him quickly. His foster mom has been doing some training to help build his confidence; he loves having boundaries and a predictable routine. He is such a smart boy! At the end of the day, Chase just loves to cuddle and hang out with you. And he is totally housebroken, too. Chase is neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, heartwormtested and microchipped.

keep the services that most people want? I think affordable housing is an issue for our community, absent the [HUD] monitor and the county executive. It’s one I am personally passionate about because I was forced to leave Harrison because I couldn’t afford to live here. Affordable housing overwhelmingly serves young people. I think we have to do some work to continue to attract the younger generation. There are volunteer firefighters and other volunteers and municipal workers that sometimes make a good salary and sometimes don’t. Q. Before his resignation, the former HUD monitor, James Johnson, recommended that the Justice Department should take action on Harrison for having exclusionary zoning. Do you think the town is doing enough to promote affordable housing? A. I think we should do more to

promote affordable housing in the community. There is a lot of affordable housing in Harrison, and I disagree with the way the federal government has gone about their business; although, we should be requiring developers to set aside units for affordability. We should attract the younger people to come into our community that can set roots down. That’s how you get your start, and then you live here for a long time. Q. Both Chris Rodier and the Republican nominee, Richard Dionisio, have been vocally against the zoning amendment that was passed unanimously by the town board in May, which created a special exception use to allow the building of senior living facilities on four residentially zoned properties, including the Lake Street Quarry which is being considered for the development of a Brightview Living Center. Why did you vote to support the amendment, and what do you say to the residents who have rallied against it? A. As I said, “In God we trust; everyone else brings data.” I wasn’t going to be the person to vote no

based upon my reading of the agreement that we had with the court [which gave Lake Street Quarry owner Lawrence Barrego the right to submit an application for a senior living facility on the property and waived him of potential fines, in exchange for Barrego stopping all quarry-related work and removing all machinery from the site]. And this was a zoning text amendment; this wasn’t a permit to put a shovel in the ground. This was an agreement that the town had made prior to me coming on the board. And based on advice of counsel and my own reading of it, I didn’t think it was a good idea for us to go back on our agreement with the judge, and in doing so give the authority to the owner of the property, who has been a less than friendly neighbor to that neighborhood. Legally, I think it would be a bad idea for us to renege on the deal we had with the court. -Reporting by Corey Stockton

FBI plans to relocate field office to Rye Following the expiration of its current lease agreement for its location in White Plains, the FBI will relocate its field office to a larger facility in the city of Rye. The agency is expected to relocate from 222 Bloomingdale Road in White Plains to a newer 30,000-square-foot facility at 600 Midland Ave. in Rye, according to an FBI spokeswoman, who wished to remain anonymous. The relocation, which is expected as early as December, will transpire out of need to “stand alone” and in the interest of improving security, according to the spokeswoman. The agency will be the only tenant in the Midland Avenue building. The new FBI field office, which sold for $6 million in January 2015, according to New York Commercial Realty Group, will continue serving as a centerpiece for counter-terrorism in Westchester and Putnam counties. Aside from the agency’s plans to improve security, officials would not disclose any further information about the move to Rye.

Rye City Manager Marcus Serrano, who didn’t have any knowledge as to why the FBI was relocating to Rye, said, “It’s beneficial in case we need to work with them for any reason.” He also noted that Michael Corcoran, the city of Rye police commissioner, is happy with the FBI’s plans to relocate. According to Serrano, the city does not have any jurisdiction relating to the FBI’s purchase of the two-story Rye building, but “there would not be any major consequences” as to wheth-

er or not the FBI relocated to Midland Avenue. The building was once occupied by USAlliance Federal Credit Union, a full-service nonprofit financial institution. The bureau currently has 18 field offices in the state, including three main offices in New York City, Buffalo and Albany, and five smaller resident agencies in the metropolitan area. Corcoran and Rye City Mayor Joe Sack, a Republican, could not be reached for comment, as of press time. -Reporting by Franco Fino

Halle Berry and the war on moms RHYMES WITH CRAZY Lenore Skenazy

The trailer for Halle Berry’s new movie shows beautiful Berry and her boy playing “Marco Polo” at a busy playground on a sun-dappled day. “Marco!” says Berry. “Polo!” chirps the boy, who looks to be about 5. “Marco!” calls Berry. “Polo!” comes the reassuring reply. “Marco!” I think you can guess what comes (or rather, doesn’t come) next. The movie’s title is “Kidnap.” The plot is based on our culture’s favorite parenting tale: The Mom Who Looked Away and Lost Her Kid. We have absorbed it so deeply that we shame any mom who isn’t watching her kids 24/7. Maybe you’ve seen the viral Facebook video where a guy screams at a mom who is buying a phone at the phone store and can see her kid in the car the whole five minutes she’s running her errand? Or maybe you heard about the mom who was arrested last week for letting her kids, ages 8 and 9, wait in the condo for under an hour while she went to pick up dinner? A new study out of the University of California at Irvine may have figured out why we are reacting as if those short waits are crazy dangerous. Researchers Ashley J. Thomas, P. Kyle Stanford and Barbara W. Sarnecka discovered that when it comes to child safety, our risk assessment is determined not by a rational analysis of the facts, but by our judgment of the parent—particularly the mom.

And in a society that has become convinced, mostly from a surfeit of “Law & Order,” that children must be under constant adult supervision, we think any mom who doesn’t do that has put her kids in danger. What kind of mom endangers her kids? An immoral one. So it’s a feedback loop: Unsupervised kids have immoral moms, immoral moms endanger their kids. But here’s what the researchers found out: The more immoral we think the mom is, the more danger we see in her actions. In the study, participants were given a series of vignettes in which kids were left unsupervised. In each of these vignettes, the kids’ age, location and amount of time they were left alone were the same. The only thing that differed was the reason the mom left. In one scenario, for instance, the mom was dropping a book off at the library when she was hit by a car, knocked unconscious and no one realized the child was still in the car until 30 minutes later. In other scenarios, the mom left the child for 30 minutes to do some work, volunteer, or simply relax. And in another, she left for 30 minutes to meet with her lover. How much danger was the child in, on a scale of 1 to 10? “When the mother unintentionally left the child alone, people rated those scenarios safer than when she intentionally left the child alone,” Thomas told me in a phone interview. So when the child was unsupervised due to circumstances beyond the mom’s control, the kid was judged safer than when the

mom deliberately went to work, volunteer, relax or—the highest danger perception of all—have an affair. In other words: If we think the mom is bad, we think her kids are in more danger than if she’s good, like the mom who was hit by a car but otherwise did not intend to leave her child’s side. And here’s where it gets really nasty: When the researchers substituted dads for moms in their scenarios, the dads’ workrelated absences were treated the same as their unintentional absences. Their kids were perceived at the lowest level of danger. But when women left their kids to do some work, the perceived danger increased. Unconsciously, we seem to consider moms as selfishly, immorally choosing to endanger their kids by going to work. The researchers caution that their dad-scenario sample was small. But they also point out that the only model of childrearing that the public seems to deem decent is an old-fashioned one that only the wealthiest families can afford today: A stay-athome mom or someone hired to fill that role, constantly supervising the kids. Now the researchers’ hope and mine is that once we start to recognize the difference between real danger and our unconscious condemnation of moms who don’t live up to some 1950s mom ideal, we will stop arresting the ones who give their kids some unsupervised time, either out of necessity or FreeRange choice.

Astorino announces free Senior Law Day Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino recently announced that the 17th annual Senior Law Day will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 27 from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the County Center in White Plains. The free event will feature 20 workshops on elder law topics, plus free 15-minute, one-on-one consultations with some of the county’s leading legal, financial and geriatric care experts. Parking is also free. “Successful aging is a lifelong process that requires thoughtful planning,” Astorino said. “It’s never too early to get yourself on the right path, and even if you’ve delayed putting together a plan, then now’s the time to start. Senior Law Day offers direct access to the professionals, free of charge. I encourage all residents to join us at the County Center, and I appreciate the private sector’s increased support over the past year.” Registration for Senior Law Day is encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. Visit westchestergov.com/seniors or call 8136300 to sign up. Seniors can register for the one-on-one consultations on the day of the event. Senior Law Day will provide a wealth of useful information and resources, including: • Workshops covering everything from estate and financial planning to health care and affordable housing, taxes, wills, trusts and much more, including two workshops in Spanish. • A free copy of “MAP: My Aging Plan,” a booklet that details what individuals and families can do from their 20s through their 80s and beyond to age successfully. • A review of long-term care policies (participants should bring a copy of their policy to the event).

• Updated copies (upon request) of the “Elder Law Q&A: An Introduction to Aging Issues and Planning for the Future,” in both English and Spanish. Questions or comments can be emailed to seniorlawdayinfo@gmail.com or tweeted to @seniorlawday. Senior Law Day builds upon the county’s award-winning Livable Communities initiative, which aims to empower Westchester’s older adults to remain in their homes as they age with dignity, independence and civic involvement. This past spring, Senior Law Day expanded and launched a new event in Yorktown, where hundreds of Northern Westchester residents participated in free workshops and consultations. Additional evening programs are offered in partnership with the Westchester County Library System throughout the year. “An estimated 7,000 seniors, family members and caregivers have benefitted from this program since Senior Law Day began in 1999,” said Mae Carpenter, commissioner of the county’s Department of Senior Programs and Services, DSPS. “I get many questions from seniors and families, like ‘When do I get started with estate planning?’ and ‘Should I continue to pay premiums for long-term care insurance?’ Senior Law Day is a great resource where seniors and their families can begin and continue planning their journey into aging.” Senior Law Day is presented by DSPS, the Westchester Public/Private Partnership for Aging Services, and the Ninth Judicial District of the New York State Office of Court Administration. Steven A. Schurkman, a partner with Keane & Beane

in White Plains, is chair of the annual Senior Law Day program and author of “Elder Law Q&A.” His associate, Sarah A. Steckler, is program manager.

The uncertainty of September LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

Most sports fans hope against hope that one day, their teams will be good. But sometimes, at least in my mind, “good” doesn’t always equal “fun.” Let’s face it; neither the Mets nor Yankees are particularly good teams at the moment, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t entertaining as heck to watch. In fact, I find that their shortcomings—and their upsides—are poised to make this one of the more intriguing months of local baseball in recent memory. As the calendar turns to September, the Bombers and the Amazin’s find themselves in similar positions. Both New York teams are just a few games out of the final wild card, have been playing solid baseball down the stretch, and if they can string together a few more weeks’ worth of series wins, could potentially

find themselves in a position to control their own playoff destiny. But neither team’s season has unfolded quite the way the respective organizations had envisioned prior to the start of the year. The Mets, of course, were coming off of a run to the World Series, armed with one of the most promising pitching staffs that baseball had seen in recent years, a budding outfield star in Michael Conforto, and the potential to get a full year out of captain David Wright, who is finally getting the chance to play for a winner for the first time in about 10 years. Of course, it being the Mets and all, injuries derailed the seasons of Matt Harvey and Steven Matz; spinal stenosis limited Wright to just 37 games; and Conforto has looked lost at the plate and ended up spending a good portion of the season playing for the Mets’ AAA affiliate in Las Vegas. So how have the Mets man-

aged to keep afloat? Mostly because of the contributions of Yoenis Cespedes, who has also spent his share of time on the DL this season; Jose Reyes, who returned for his second go-around with the club after being released by the Colorado Rockies; and the ageless Bartolo Colon, who, with his 12-7 record, made the All-Star team again, 18 years after his first selection. Is this team close to as talented as it was a year ago? Not a chance; but watching this scrappy team compete day in and day out has certainly made for some compelling television in August. And when was the last time that the team from the Bronx had this type of energy around it? I’m not simply talking about success on the field. The Yankees, despite their success over the past 20 years—or perhaps because of it—have been historically boring for the last several ones. It has been an organization that has been content to trot out overpaid veterans year after

year, competing for—and winning—a division title or World Series from time to time. But for the first time since 1995, there’s a sense that the organization is in flux, but in a good way. A new crop of young players are becoming the face of the organization. Players like Aaron Judge, who still can’t really hit the offspeed stuff, but

has demonstrated the ability to launch mammoth home runs; Didi Gregorious, who is having a breakout season at age 26; and Gary Sanchez, who is hitting .383 with 11 homers in just 24 games, are forming a new nucleus that could be the start of a new dynasty. Will the Baby Bombers wilt under the pressure of a play-

off race? Can the Mets make the postseason with unknowns like Robert Gsellman taking the mound every five days? I honestly don’t know. And that uncertainty is what is going to make September so darn exciting.
