The city of Rye has locked into yet another legal dispute with Westchester County, this time seeking to overturn a state decision on Rye Playland rendered earlier this year. An appeal, filed on Friday, Oct. 20, will challenge a decision made by a state judge in March that ruled the city of Rye had no legal standing to overturn the county’s declaration of lead agency on environmental reviews for upcoming renovations to the county-owned, historic amusement park, which sits within Rye’s municipal borders. According to Councilwoman Danielle Tagger-Epstein, a Democrat, the City Council hopes that a successful appeal— which comes exactly six months after a notice of appeal was filed with the county in April— will be important for the city’s future. “Whether or not we should be here in the first place is irrelevant,” said Tagger-Epstein. “But because of the judge’s ruling, we have to appeal because of the implications for the future.” Among the chief concerns of proponents of the appeal, including Tagger-Epstein, are worries that without a successful challenge, the city’s loss of legal standing during previous litigation could affect the future of Rye’s right to sue regarding future developments at the park, including millions of dollars in slated improvements and renovations. Rye City Attorney Kristen

Wilson, who spoke to the Review in August, said that, in particular, the city’s loss of legal standing could render future lawsuits all but impossible. The city will also try to reassert its position that it—not the county—should be the ultimate deciders on whether or not renovations at the park comply with the State Environmental Quality Review Act, SEQR. Rye City Councilwoman Julie Killian, a Republican, has opposed the appeal of the judge’s decision from its inception, stating publicly that she believes the continuation of a lawsuit could worsen already strained relations between the city and county administrations. As per a management agreement struck between the county and new park operators, Standard Amusements, in May 2016, the nearly 100-year-old amusement park is slated to undergo $60 million in capital improvements—a cost that will be divided between the two parties. Under the terms of the deal, Standard Amusements will manage the park for 30 years and also pay the county a fee that will rise annually by 2 percent. The agreement punctuated years of failed negotiations between Republican Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino’s administration and other potential park managers—most notably a previous deal between the administration and Sustainable Playland Inc. that dissolved in the wake of public outcry over the proposal of an 85,000-squarefoot sports bubble.

Halloween headstones bid farewell to

By TAYLOR BROWN General Assignment Reporter Town of Mamaroneck resident Michael Fry is bringing humor back to Halloween with grave-

stones memorializing pop culture fads he hopes to see disappear by 2018. “Homemade slime,” “Trumpcare,”and “dabbing” are just a few crazes that Fry, an art teacher at

Isaac E. Young Middle School in New Rochelle, pays homage to. Fry, 39,said the tradition began three years ago. “I decided I would do dead and dying trends, along with a little wishful thinking of things from the past year I’d like to see go away,” he told the Review. The gravestones were inspired by a trip to Walt Disney World Fry and his family took a few years ago. While standing in line for Magic Kingdom’s Haunted Mansion, Fry noted the humorous headstones outside the mansion and wanted to do something similar in his front yard. “[I wanted] to do a funny cemetery for Halloween, but make mine different and fresh each year,” he said. Fry said when creating the headstones, he tries to keep the content light. “There is a lot of horrible stuff out there already in the world, so rather than making

my yard horrifying at Halloween, I try to make it funny and relatable,” he said. Despite this, Fry says that “there are always one or two [headstones] that are a little controversial.” Fry explained that Halloween is the only time of year that he goes “all out” when it comes to decorating the outside of his house. “Christmas, for example, we keep kind of traditional and decorate more inside our house then outside,” he said. When it comes to decorating, Fry said he isn’t alone in putting his designs together. He has help from his two daughters, Eily, 8, and Phoebe, 5, who aid him in painting the gravestones and coming up with what to put on them. “The family loves it,” he said. “We really enjoy Halloween and tend to do just about all of it homemade, from the decorations to the costumes.” The Frys begin mapping out what ideas they’ll transform into gravestones in September, that way the trends are as up-to-date as possible. As for reactions from his neighbors, Fry said that they’re all supportive of his displays. “Some people agree with the

headstones, and some disagree, but everybody seems to laugh and enjoy them,” he said. Fry says he is already making plans for next year’s headstones, and that he intends to go “bigger

and better” with his display. “I will be keeping my eye on trends in 2018 to decide their fate,” he said. CONTACT: taylor@hometwn.com

Hepatitis A exposure at Bartaco Port Chester The Westchester County Department of Health is recommending that individuals who ate or drank at Bartaco, a restaurant in Port Chester, between Oct. 12 and Oct. 23 receive preventive treatment against Hepatitis A, a viral illness that affects the liver. The health department learned today that an employee with the illness worked at the restaurant while infectious. Preventive treatment is only effective if given within two weeks of exposure. Therefore, those who dined on Oct. 12 will have needed to receive preventive treatment by Oct. 26, after press time. Those who dined on Oct. 13 through Oct. 23 need to receive preventive treatment within two weeks of their exposure. The health department will offer free preventive treatment at the County Center in White Plains for people who ate or drank at Bartaco in Port Chester during this time period. Anyone with a prior history of Hepatitis A vaccination or Hepatitis A infection does not need to be treated. The health department will offer preventive treatment on the following dates and times: • Thursday, Oct. 26 from 4

p.m. to 7:45 p.m. • Friday, Oct. 27 from noon to 4:45 p.m. • Saturday, Oct. 28 from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Anyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to provide consent. Advance registration for the county preventive clinic is highly recommended. To register, visit health.ny.gov/gotoclinic/60. If you do not have Internet access or need more information, call 211 from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Restaurant patrons with exposure can also be treated by their own health care provider. The Westchester County Department of Health is also informing people who ate or drank at bartaco in Port Chester between Aug. 22 and Oct. 11 those they may also have been exposed to Hepatitis A. While these individuals are outside the window to receive preventive treatment, they should contact their health care provider immediately if they experience symptoms so that anyone they may have exposed can receive preventive treatment. Upon learning of the first cases, the health department immediately launched an investigation into

the source of the infection. “Hepatitis A is generally a mild illness whose symptoms include fatigue, fever, poor appetite, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dark urine, light colored stool and jaundice, which is the yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes,” said Dr. Sherlita Amler, commissioner of health. “There are no special medications used to treat a person once symptoms appear, but Hepatitis A transmission to others can be prevented through proper handwashing.” Not everyone infected with Hepatitis A will have all of its symptoms. Symptoms commonly appear within 28 days of exposure, with a range of 15 to 50 days. Preventive treatment is only effective within two weeks of exposure to the virus, but symptoms typically do not appear until a person has had the virus for a few weeks. The illness is rarely fatal and most people recover in a few weeks without any complications. Bartaco in Port Chester has fully cooperated with the investigation and voluntarily closed the restaurant on Oct. 25. The restaurant is also voluntarily vaccinating all employees with the

Hepatitis A vaccine. The restaurant will reopen after it has been re-inspected and approved by the Westchester County Department of Health. An inspection was scheduled for Oct. 26. Bartaco in Port Chester has also made resources available to assist staff and patrons. “We are committed to food safety and the quality of our food,” said Pam Ritz, a Bartaco spokeswoman. “We have set

up a dedicated phone line for any guests who may wish to ask us questions directly and we encourage our guests to reach out at 844617-8242, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.” Hepatitis A is transmitted by consuming food or drinks that have been handled by an infected person. It may also be spread from person to person by ingesting something that has been con-

taminated with the stool of a person with Hepatitis A. Casual contact, such as sitting together, does not spread the virus. Hepatitis A is reportable to the health department. In 2016, Westchester had six cases of Hepatitis A. Through September 2017, Westchester had five cases. For more health information, visit westchestergov.com/health. (Submitted)

The Diaper Bank’s donation is going to a children’s hospital in Puerto Rico. Contributed photo

By TAYLOR BROWN General Assignment Reporter In the wake of Hurricane Maria, Westchester County has begun an ongoing collection of food, batteries and medical supplies for those affected in Puerto Rico. The island was hit by a Category 5 hurricane on Sept. 20. At the storm’s peak, wind speeds reached 175 mph, and by Sept. 21, the entire island was without electricity. The same day the island lost power, the National Hurricane

Center, which releases forecasts updates in real time, reported “catastrophic flash flooding” in parts of Puerto Rico. As of press time, more than 3,500 people are still in shelters, and 51 people have died because of damage done by Hurricane Maria. Since the hurricane hit, the island has slowly been restoring supplies and electricity through the help of generous donors. “We’ve had massive boxes and boxes of food, and water, medical supplies, batteries, [and]

clothing,” said County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican. “All of that is being collected and shipped.” Astorino said that it was important to help because 44,000 people in the county are of Puerto Rican heritage, “so there is a connection directly from Westchester County to the island.” Astorino went on to say that many of the county’s residents also have family members in Puerto Rico who are either missing or had their property destroyed.

“We’re responding with the big heart we have here,” Astorino said in an interview with the Review. Diana Costello, communications specialist for the Astorino administration, said that the county’s plan right now is to “get [items] out as effectively and quickly as possible.” To do this, the county has been working with the Mariano Rivera Foundation, an organization started by Mariano Rivera, a former Yankees great, that works to help youth from low-income backgrounds. Naomi Gandia, executive director for the foundation, said the first shipment of supplies they sent out contained more than 6,000 pounds of food. For the foundation’s second shipment, Gandia said that they plan to send down more food and water, along with generators to help with the lack of electricity. As of press time, more than 70 percent of the island is still without electricity. Gandia said that she, Rivera, and his wife, Clara Rivera, are planning a trip to Puerto Rico in the coming weeks, along with shipping containers containing more than 40,000 pounds of food and water. “The desire to do something [has been] very strong and positive throughout the county,” Costello said. Another large donation from the county came in the form of diapers from the county’s Diaper Bank, a program run by the Junior League of Central Westchester, JLCW, that has partnered

Astorino kicks off Hudson Valley Restaurant Week On Oct. 25, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino joined Janet Crawshaw, publisher of The Valley Table magazine with Michele Savino, owner of One Twenty One, to kick off Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, HVRW, for fall 2017. To celebrate the event, the county executive joined guests to sample locally sourced seasonal dishes for autumn. “Hudson Valley Restaurant Week is the perfect time to explore the food and dining scene here in Westchester County,” Astorino said. “With over 100 restaurants in Westchester participating, get out and have a delicious meal at a great price.” One Twenty One Restaurant has been part of the North Salem community for 17 years. The beautifully appointed restaurant has a modern, delicious menu focused on seasonal ingredients from Hudson Valley Farmers and purveyors. “We are thrilled to be part of this wonderful culinary celebration,” said Michele Savino, owner of One Twenty One. “Visitors and residents have many choices when it comes to dining in Westchester and we’re delighted to be part of Hudson Valley Restaurant Week.”

“The food scene in the Hudson Valley is thriving,” said Janet Crawshaw, publisher and founder of The Valley Table magazine and Hudson Valley Restaurant Week. “With more than 100 restaurants participating right here in Westchester County, there’s a cuisine for everyone to enjoy. Thanks to County Executive Astorino for officially kicking off our fall restaurant week here in Westchester.” HVRW celebrates top restaurants, giving diners the opportunity to enjoy exceptional dining at an approachable price point. Three-course, prix fixe dinners are $32.95 and lunches are $22.95, plus beverage, tax and tip. During HVRW, which runs from Monday, Oct. 30 through Sunday, Nov. 12, diners can sample delicious dishes throughout the county. A complete list of participating restaurants is available at hudsonvalleyrestaurantweek.com. In 1996, Janet Crawshaw and Jerry Novesky took an eightmonth sabbatical, traveling 35,000 miles across the country seeking authentic American experiences. They found that local farms, bakeries, fish markets, wineries and breweries were the

key to understanding the country’s distinct regions. Inspired by their trip and the Chefs Collaborative, an educational sustainable food movement, the couple returned to their home in the Hudson Valley with a mission to awaken the region’s food consciousness. In 1998, they launched The Valley Table, a colorful quarterly magazine that celebrates the agricultural heritage and cuisine of the region, leading the development of the Hudson Valley’s local food movement. Crawshaw and Novesky launched Hudson Valley Restaurant Week in 2006 with a distinguished board of advisors, including chefs, restaurateurs and tourism leaders. The two-week culinary event premiered with 70 restaurants. Today, with more than 185 participating restaurants spanning seven counties, it is among the largest restaurant week events in the country. Participating counties include Dutchess, Westchester, Columbia, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Ulster. It has become a successful collaborative effort involving farmers, growers, wine makers and chefs.

Active Investigation gives students the opportunity to study academic text on topics including physical, life and earth sciences. The city of Rye will begin its appeal of a decision rendered by a state judge in March that saw Rye lose its case and its standing regarding developments at Playland. File photo

According to Astorino’s administration, fear of litigation has also aided in Standard Amusements’ lack of compliance with some contractual terms of the agreement; namely the transfer

of a $1.75 million initial payment that is being withheld as litigation with the city of Rye runs its course. Wilson said that the city is awaiting a response from the

county and Standard, and from there, a date will be set for oral argument and a complete schedule of the court proceedings. CONTACT: james@hometwn.com

The Chapel Middle School, TCMS, is proud to announce the adoption of Delta Education’s FOSS Inquiry-Based Science Program, created by a team of experts from U.C. Berkeley and aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. Centered on the Active Investigation of three strands (Physical Science, Life Science and Earth Science), students are reading informational text, developing

science-centered language, organizing personalized records in science notebooks, exploring real-world challenges as budding, problem-solving engineers, integrating technology and growing from formative assessment. “TCMS’s Science Lab is alive every day with hands-on exploration,” commented long-time science teacher Jeanette Coulthurst. “This is how science should be taught and how sci-

ence students should be learning.” The Chapel School’s Lower School students have begun piloting FOSS’s Physical Science modules this fall as teachers assess the program and how best it can be adapted in kindergarten through fifth grade classes.

figures, comic book superheroes and Disney princesses joined the weekend event in hopes of scoring a win in the Halloween costume contest. “[We tried] to create an event that was inclusive of the many pet owners in the area and also provide an opportunity for people in the broader region to have an excuse to come and visit downtown,” said Jaime Martinez, executive director of the Yonkers Downtown Business Improvement District, BID, a nonprofit that supports development in downtown Yonkers. The parade took place from noon to 2 p.m., where dogs were treated to delicious animal-friendly snacks and crisp bowls of water. “It’s a great opportunity to get out there [and] meet with other pet owners,” Martinez told the Review. He explained that participation in this year’s parade tripled from last year, with 94 dogs registered for the costume contest, and more than 300 people

in attendance. The pets were judged in three different categories: “Scariest Dog,” “Funniest Dog” and “Judge’s Choice.” The panel of judges consisted of Martinez’s daughter, volunteers from the BID, and Bark and Purr, a luxury pet boutique along the Yonkers waterfront which sponsored the event. One of this year’s parade attendees was Danielle Kelly, who marched in the parade with Bella, her 13-year-old Maltese. Kelly said it was her first year in the parade, and added that she would definitely go again. “I thought it was really cute,” she said. “It seemed like the pets really enjoyed it as well.” As for Bella, who was dressed as a little red devil, Kelly said that her pup loved spending time with the other dogs on a sunny afternoon. At the end of the parade, the pets were treated to free treats, some water and certificates commemorating their participation. -Reporting by Taylor Brown

Business Briefs Houlihan Lawrence agents named top producers Houlihan Lawrence, the leading real estate brokerage north of New York City, recently announced that four of its top agents—Ellen Mosher, Pollena Forsman, Nancy Kennedy and Joan O’Meara— were named to “The Thousand,” the prestigious annual ranking by REAL Trends/The Wall Street Journal of the country’s top 1,000 real estate sales professionals. The ranking reflects sales data from 2016. “These four talented agents are consistent top producers and an embodiment of our commitment to leadership, innovation and superior client service,” said Chris Meyers, managing principal of Houlihan Lawrence. “They’ve worked hard to gain and sustain a strong client base, and we couldn’t be prouder of each of them for their marketplace influence and well-deserved honor.” Ellen Mosher, the No. 1 real estate salesperson in Greenwich, Connecticut, and the only Greenwich-based agent to make the list this year, closed an impressive $105,225,010 in sales volume. She was ranked 105th nationwide, while Houlihan Lawrence was the only Greenwich office to crack the top 1,000. In Larchmont, New York, associate real estate broker Pollena Forsman, a top producing agent for the past 20 years and the No. 1 ranked broker in Larchmont and Mamaroneck since 2010, closed $100,065,833 in sales volume, and ranked 124th nationwide. Nancy Kennedy, associate real estate broker in New York’s Croton-on-Hudson area, closed $90,215,865 in sales volume. A regular on The Thousand, she ranked 153rd nationwide. Over in Rye, agent Joan O’Meara also made the list, ranking 244th in the nation. A top performing agent in the region, she closed $71,302,400 in sales volume in 2016. Published each year and now in its 12th year, The Thousand ranks top sales professionals based on independently verified data provided by brokerages and real estate agents throughout the United States. The Thousand is divided into four categories, listing the top 250 professionals from each: • Individual Sales Professionals—Sales volume • Individual Sales Professionals—Transaction sides (in each real estate transaction, there are two sides that can be represented by a real estate agent: a buyer’s and a seller’s). • Team Professionals—Sales volume • Team Professionals—Transaction sides. “Being a member of The Thousand is an incredible achievement in today’s increasingly competitive environment. This elite group of sales associates are proven professionals who bring together innovative marketing solutions that combine cutting-edge technology with best-in-class customer service to consistently exceed their client’s expectations. Her success put her in the top 1 percent of more than 1.25 million Houlihan Lawrence realtors nationwide,” said Luke Bahrenburg, vice president of real estate advertising at Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal. Built upon 125 years of family tradition, Houlihan Lawrence, the leading brokerage in New York City’s northern suburbs, is committed to exceeding expectations in every aspect of the real estate process. The firm today serves more than 90 communities with 30 offices and 1,300-plus agents, leveraging global partners on six continents and in 56 countries. The company ranks in the top 20 of all brokerages nationally and achieved a total sales vol-

The short end of the stick LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

Look, I try not to pile on officials—I know their job is tough enough as it is—but sometimes, their questionable decisions make you want to tear your hair out. On Oct. 23, the defending state champs from New Rochelle hosted Horace Greeley in a Class AA quarterfinal boys soccer game. Unfortunately for the No. 2 seed Huguenots, their quest to repeat as Class AA champs was dealt a huge blow, simply because the referees didn’t have a handle on Section I’s postseason overtime rules. After the two sides played 80 scoreless minutes of regulation, officials conferred and announced the Quakers and Huguenots would play two 10-minute overtime periods—as opposed to the two 15-minute periods outlined by the Section I rulebook. Despite the protestations of both Greeley coach Camp Shropshire and New Ro coach Jarohan Gar-

cia, the referees explained—incorrectly—that the 15-minute extra time periods only came into play in the semifinal and championship round of the tournament. Neither team scored in the 20-minute overtime, Greeley ended up winning in penalty kicks, and New Rochelle was left to look ahead to next season, just wondering how an important decision had been botched so badly. Would an additional 10 minutes have made a difference for the Huguenots? Maybe, maybe not, as the Huguenots—despite their gaudy record—have not displayed a ton of offensive firepower this year. But the blatant misapplication of the rules had to sting quite a bit for a veteran team with dreams of another title. The Westchester-Putnam Approved Soccer Officials Association released a statement after the game copping to the mistake, but that provided little solace for a stunned and shocked Huguenot club. Whenever you step on the field as an athlete, you know that of-

ficiating can swing the balance of a contest. Judgment calls— even blown ones—are part of the game, from an inconsistent strike zone in baseball, to a flag-happy line judge on the gridiron. But these are facets of the game, while frustrating, that most players and coaches simply accept as the norm. Players aren’t perfect, of course, and it’s a little unreasonable to feel like our referees should be held to a higher standard. But misapplications of the rulebook, especially when the rule in question is spelled out so clearly, are unacceptable. And in do-or-die playoff games, they can be a tough pill to swallow for the team that ends up getting hosed. To his credit, Jarohan Garcia—one of the classiest coaches around—handled the situation as well as can be expected. He expressed disappointment in the loss, congratulated the Quakers on moving on to the semifinals and called for this to be a wake-up call for Section I to make sure all of its officials are on the same page.

New Rochelle’s soccer season came to an end on Oct. 23 after a mistake by officials cost them 10 minutes of overtime against Horace Greeley. It’s an unfortunate end to what has been a terrific two-year stretch for the Huguenots. Photo/Mike Smith

For the Huguenots, especially the ones who saw their high school careers end on Monday, this could serve as a valuable les-

son about sportsmanship, perseverance and how, sometimes, life just isn’t fair. It’s probably just a lesson they

didn’t want to learn like this.

Tennis players head to finals Harrison High School, HHS, sophomores Deana Giambo, and Jessica and Sydney Saviano advanced to the New York State Girls Tennis Championships after their outstanding play at the Section 1 tournament, held last week at HHS. Giambo played a tough match against defending New York State Champion Caitlyn Ferrante, of Yorktown, falling for the first time all year 4-6, 1-6. The Saviano twins battled for the third spot against Edgemont’s Shrutti Kanna and Ariella Zagorsky - winning in dramatic fashion 2-6, 6-1, 6-0.

The three Harrison teammates will travel to Latham, New York, on Oct. 27 for the New York State Girls Varsity Tennis Championships to be played at Tri-City Tennis Club on Oct. 28 through Oct. 30.

Giambo played an outstanding match, coming from 1-4 down in the first set to win 6-4, 6-3 against Olivia Ashton, of Pleasantville. She beat Carly Levitz, of Horace Greeley, 6-3, 6-3 in the quarterfinals and won her first-round

match against Maggie Akuetey, of Scarsdale, 6-0, 6-1.

THE ROUNDUP Girls Soccer CLASS A

FIRST ROUND

Pelham 3 Harrison 1 (OT) At Harrison HS

10/21/17

The Harrison girls soccer season came to an end on Saturday, Oct. 21, as the Huskies fell in the first round of the Class A playoffs to a tough Pelham team in overtime. The No. 8 Huskies struggled to cobble together much offense early on, surrendering a first half score to the No. 9 Pelicans before finding the equalizer with 20 minutes left in regulation on a goal by junior Cara Traficante. The Pelicans surged in the overtime period, however, finding the net twice and advancing to the Class A quarterfinals. Claudia Scampoli, Anais Leon Kelly and Maeve Parmalee all scored for Pelham, which moved on to take on top-seeded Rye on Oct. 25, after press time. Rye rolled in their first-round

game, beating Saunders 8-0 on the strength of goals from Jane Henstchial, Sara DeGraw, Lexi Thomas, Claudia Rafa, Meagan Kelly and Niamh Carty. The Rye/Pelham contest was initially scheduled for Oct. 24, but inclement weather delayed the playoffs for a day.

OUTBRACKET

Ardsley 2 Harrison 1 At Ardsley HS

10/19/17

The No. 18-seeded Huskies fell in the outbracket round last week, as a late Ardsley goal saw the No. 15 seed Panthers advance to the Class A first round. With the score knotted at 1-1 in the 79th minute, Alex Cohen scored on a cross from Eugene Palau to give Ardsley a 2-1 lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. Shun Kakihara scored the lone goal for the Huskies, tying the game with a late-second half goal.

The Panthers fell to No. 2 seed Tappan Zee the following day, as the Dutchmen advanced on penalty kicks after two overtime periods ended in a 2-2 tie.

QUARTERFINALS

Lourdes 49 Harrison 28 At Lourdes HS

10/20/17

No. 7 Harrison’s sectional hopes were dashed on Friday night, as they dropped a high-scoring affair to No. 2 seed Lourdes on the road. The Huskies’ offense was in high gear, as Frank Nannariello threw for two scores and D’Andre Cosby rushed for two more, but they simply couldn’t keep pace with a prolific Warriors’ attack that is among the best in Section I. Lourdes will take on No. 6 Somers in the Class A semifinals on Oct. 28. -Reporting by Mike Smith
