County health commissioner warns of vaping dangers
Fine living The village of Mamaroneck takes waterfront living to the next level with these spacious townhomes coupled with a view of Harbor Island. For more, see page 6.
New vendor to run operations at Glen Island Harbour Club Westchester County Executive George Latimer and the county Board of Legislators have approved the assignment of the remainder of the lease term of Glen Island Harbour Club to Homestyle Hospitality, Inc. The Harbour Club had been operated by Continental Hosts, LTD since 1997, but Homestyle Hospitality, Inc. took over the operation of the facility starting Tuesday, Nov. 20. “Clients of the facility, who have had parties booked will experience a seamless transition – that was our goal,” Latimer said. “Unfortunately, companies come and go, but brides and grooms only have one shot at their special day. Our intention with this deal was to save current clients from emotional stress and economic loss and we have struck that balance.” Under this newly brokered
deal, the current on-site manager at Glen Island will remain with Homestyle. This is the on-site employee who has direct contact with all upcoming groups that have contracts with the Harbour Club. Further, the executive chef, kitchen staff and wait staff are also staying on, making this a seamless transition to clients. Homestyle has been a proven partner with Westchester as the exclusive caterer for high-end events at the County Center including Westchester Knicks games, New York Liberty games, the Westchester Hall of Fame Dinner and Westchester Parks Foundation Gala. Homestyle is also the exclusive caterer for events at Dunwoodie Golf Course. Dunwoodie is home to many non-golf events such as weddings, graduations and Bar Mitzvahs.
The Harbour Club had been operated by Continental Hosts, LTD since 1997, but Homestyle Hospitality, Inc. took over the operation of the facility starting Tuesday, Nov. 20.
The assignment covers the remainder of the existing lease term
through Sept. 30, 2027. (Submitted)
Westchester County Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler urged physicians to emphasize the harmful effects of vaping when speaking with young people. Speaking to a group of 90 Westchester pediatricians and other health professionals on Nov. 14, the eve of the Great American Smokeout, when Americans are encouraged to quit smoking, Amler said, “We know enough about the dangers of vaping to make stomping out this unhealthy habit among our youth a priority. That’s why it is now illegal to sell liquid nicotine or vaping supplies to anyone under age 21 in Westchester.” Electronic cigarettes contain nicotine, an addictive substance that affects the still-developing brains of adolescents and increases the likelihood of lifelong addiction. Nicotine use can lead to lower impulse control, mood disorders and cardiovascular disease. While the long-term health consequences of vaping are unknown, there is evidence to support it is not harmless. “It is important for our young people to hear straight talk from their doctors about the dangers of electronic cigarettes,” Amler said to the physician participants in a symposium on this topic. “With their sweet and fruity flavors, slick ads and easily concealed products, the makers of electronic cigarettes and vaping supplies are promoting adolescent addiction.“Pediatricians are one of the most trusted adult figures in their patients’ lives, and your voice matters. Tell your patients that e-cigarettes deliver cancer-causing, harmful substances directly to their lungs.” When they vape, users inhale an aerosol into their lungs. The aerosol can contain harmful substances, including: • Fine toxic particles that can interfere with the growth and work of the lungs and increase the risk
of heart disease, lung cancer and asthma attacks • Flavoring such as diacetyl, a chemical linked to a serious lung disease commonly known as “popcorn lung” • Volatile organic compounds that can cause cancer • Cancer-causing chemicals • Heavy metals such as nickel, tin and lead • Many of the harmful chemicals found in cigarette smoke Dr. Richard Stumacher, a pulmonologist with Northern Westchester Hospital, delivered the keynote address, and Dr. Daniel Cohen, a pediatrician with WestMed Medical Group, shared his personal experience and strategies for talking about vaping with his patients. The symposium, cosponsored by the county Department of Health, Student Assistance Services, Stop-DWI of Westchester and the Montefiore Hudson Valley Collaborative, was held at the Tarrytown office of Student Assistance Services, a not-for-profit agency that provides substance abuse prevention programs and related services to Westchester students. Vaping has spread rapidly throughout high schools and middle schools. Statewide, 27.4 percent of high school students surveyed had vaped last year, according to the New York State Department of Health. Student Assistance Services found that during the 2017-2018 school year, more than 30 percent of Westchester high school seniors reported they had vaped in the past month. In Westchester, it is illegal to vape anywhere that smoking is prohibited, including schools, public and private universities, public transportation, workplaces, restaurants and county parks.

Education center teaches student leaders

The Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center is currently conducting its fourth annual Human Rights Institute for Middle School Student Leaders. The three sessions, Nov. 8, 13 and 15 is taking place at New York Medical College in Hawthorne. Seventh grade students from middle schools in Westchester and Fairfield counties participate in a day-long event. The goal of the institute is to lay
the foundation for encouraging students to be upstanders rather than bystanders. The two main themes will be “Respecting the Individual” and “How to Be an Upstander.” The program will include a keynote presentation by Sheila Arnold, lead performer of History’s Alive!; breakout sessions on our two themes; and an afternoon session with school groups. There will also be par-
ticipation from high school students who facilitated workshops at our Human Rights Institute for High School Student Leaders on March 15. Please contact Julie Scallero, co-director of education, at jscallero@hhrecny.org for further information.

Wandering prevention program for Alzheimer’s patients The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, AFA, will be holding a free wandering prevention program to help families learn how to protect and ensure the safety of their loved ones who live with Alzheimer’s disease and other related dementias, and prevent them from wandering. The event will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 4 in the Ravazzin Center on Aging at Fordham University’s Westchester Campus, located at 400 Westchester Ave., in West Harrison. Registration and breakfast will begin at 8:30 a.m., with the workshop running from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Wandering is a common and potentially dangerous behavior among individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. Someone with Alzheimer’s disease who wanders may be disoriented, unable to remember how to get back home or know how, or who, to call for help. Wandering often stems from the need for purpose
or an unmet need, and is often a form of communication. For example, some individuals may leave their residence because they believe they need to go to work, even though they are no longer employed. “Nothing is more important to the nearly 400,000 New York families affected by Alzheimer’s disease than the safety and well-being of their loved one,” said Charles Fuschillo Jr., AFA’s president and CEO. “Wandering is a very real danger for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, but there are steps individuals can take to help prevent wandering and protect the person for whom they are caring. We invite family and professional caregivers to learn about them at this free educational program.” The program will teach participants how to identify the common causes of wandering, behaviors which may indicate a greater risk and steps caregivers can take for
prevention. Attendees can also learn about Project Lifesaver, a public safety program that utilizes radio technology to protect individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. New York State licensed social workers who attend the program are eligible to receive two continuing education contact hours free of charge. “The more we can understand our individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, the better equipped we can be in helping them feel safe and secure,” said Molly Fogel, AFA’s director of educational and social services. The workshop is being presented with the generous support of a grant from the Thomas and Agnes Carvel Foundation. Residents can register by calling AFA at 866-232-8484 or visiting AFA’s website at alzfdn.org and clicking on the “events calendar” tab at the top of the page. Registration is free and open to all.

‘The Nutcracker’ comes to life at Picture House
The Picture House is presenting the Nutcracker Magical Matinee to give young audiences an authentic, formal theater experience, close to home and at affordable ticket prices. This film version of “The Nutcracker” is the same production performed by New York City Ballet each December at Lincoln Center.
Join the Picture House Regional Film Center on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 3 p.m. for the Nutcracker Magical Matinee, an annual holiday tradition for families and kids of all ages. The cinematic version of New York City Ballet’s classic production brings George Balanchine’s choreography to the big screen. “The Nutcracker” will be presented in the Main Hall, at a special film event trimmed with beautifully costumed ballerinas from Ballet Arts greeting attendees upon arrival, a live dance performance and photo opportunities. A holiday favorite, “The Nutcracker” is the beloved tale of a young girl whose dreams transport her to a fantasy land of Mice Kings and fairytale sweets that come to life. The film features a
legendary all-star cast from New York City Ballet, including Darci Kistler and Damian Woetzel as the Sugarplum Fairy and her Cavalier, with a cameo appearance by a young McCauley Culkin as the Nutcracker Prince. Kevin Kline narrates the story. The matinee event will open with a live performance by youth members of Ballet Arts’ dance program featuring excerpts from The Nutcracker Act II. Dancers in costumes will greet movie-goers and will be available for photo opportunities during intermission. The Picture House is once again presenting this enchanting matinee event to give young audiences an authentic (yet more forgiving), formal theater experience, close to home and at affordable ticket prices. This film ver-
sion of “The Nutcracker” is the same production performed by New York City Ballet each December at Lincoln Center. “The annual Nutcracker Magical Matinee has become a Picture House holiday tradition that we look forward to all year long,” said Clayton Bushong, director of programming at The Picture House. “Our collaboration with Ballet Arts allows us to bring a local, live performance of this beloved classic to audiences who may not be ready or able to make it to Lincoln Center.” Tickets for The Nutcracker Magical Matinee are priced at $20 for general admission, $16 for members, $10 children and are available at thepicturehouse. org or at the box office, 175 Wolfs Lane in Pelham.

Philips Harbor opens in Mamaroneck
A new and exciting style of townhouse living on the Mamaroneck waterfront debuted with the grand opening of Philips Harbor, an exclusive collection of contemporary designed townhomes overlooking Mamaroneck Harbor. “Philips Harbor is ideal for today’s sophisticated buyers who are looking for a luxuriously appointed townhome that has spectacular water views, top-of-theline finishes and walkable to one of Westchester’s finest downtowns,” said developer Michael Rosen. Philips Harbor features seven townhouse residences each with three bedrooms and three-and-ahalf bathrooms. The exteriors have an innovative contemporary design not typically seen in the Westchester market. The modern and stylish interiors have open, flow-through floor plans, 10.5 foot-high living room ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that provide stunning views of Mamaroneck Harbor and Harbor Island Park. Each of the four-level residences has its own elevator and oversized private terraces overlooking the harbor. The open concept gourmet kitchens feature custom Italian wood grain-style cabinetry, white and Calacatta Quartz countertops, backsplash and island, and chef inspired Viking and Subzero appliances along with complementary wine coolers. The great room is bathed in sunlight from the expansive floor-to-ceiling sliders and windows. White oak floating stairs behind a wall of glass lead to the top floor master suite which features spacious walk-in closets and silver travertine tiled spa bathrooms complete with large steam shower, radiant heating, sculptural free-standing soaking tubs and private commodes. Each master bedroom suite also includes a gas-powered fireplace. Heating and cooling systems are controlled via WiFi enabled Nest thermostats and LED lighting is
throughout the residences. Each residence includes a two-car garage along with additional exterior parking. The residences, which range from 2,972 to 3,256 square feet, are priced from $1.79 million. Located on Delancey Avenue just off Boston Post Road, Philips Harbor is an easy walk to downtown Mamaroneck with its fine restaurants, shops, Metro-North station and Harbor Island Park, a 44-acre recreational park with an exceptional small boat marina. Philips Harbor is located on the site of the former McGuire’s Restaurant which closed in the early 2000s. When Rosen acquired the vacant property the prior owner planned to build 15 units. He chose to build only seven townhomes in order to maximize the harbor views. “To me it’s all about the views. I felt this site demanded an approach that takes full advantage of the water views,” he said. Rosen noted that today’s home buyers are moving toward the more contemporary design featured at Philips Harbor. “No one in the Westchester market is building townhomes with the unique and exciting design we created at Philips Harbor,” he added. The residences at Philips Harbor are designed by Wade Allyn Hallock, a Miami-based designer who has been designing homes for some of today’s top celebrities in both the movie and music industry. His work has been shown in Elle Decor, Miami Luxury, Florida Design and Cultured. Rosen is a Westchester native and third-generation builder, developer and manager of real estate who has spearheaded dozens of development projects over the past 34 years both in Westchester County and Florida. Most recently in Westchester, Rosen is jointly developing a 96-unit luxury apartment complex within the village of Mamaroneck. For more information about Philips Harbor, visit philipsharbor.com.

Increased DWI enforcement underway in Westchester The Department of Public Safety and other police agencies in Westchester are participating in a joint STOP-DWI enforcement campaign that began this month and will continue through New Year’s Day. The enforcement will include roving patrols and sobriety checkpoints conducted by the county police on parkways and in various local communities. In addition, county police will also team up with municipal police departments and the New York State Police on joint enforcement efforts in targeted locations. “In Westchester, we have seen first-hand the devastating consequences that occur when people drive under the influence of drugs or alcohol,” County Executive George Latimer said. “Innocent lives have been lost and people have suffered permanent, life-changing injuries. Every DWI arrest is a potential tragedy averted.” As the holiday season approaches, the county police will be increasing its enforcement of Driving While Intoxicated laws along the Bronx River, Cross County, Saw Mill and Hutchinson River parkways. Stepped-up enforcement is also planned in Cortlandt, Mount Kisco and other local communities. Anyone planning to consume alcohol should always have a designated driver, take a taxi or make other arrangements to avoid getting behind the wheel, according to Department of Public Safety Commissioner Thomas Gleason. Earlier this month, Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared Novem-

County police in recent weeks have conducted joint enforcement with the Port Chester Police Department, Mount Vernon Police Department and New York State Police, resulting in multiple arrests.The county Office of Drug Abuse Prevention and STOP-DWI assists in coordinating joint law enforcement initiatives such as the current enforcement campaign. Since the STOP-DWI program was established across the state in 1981, fatalities from alcohol-related
crashes on New York’s roadways have decreased 74 percent. The Office of Drug Abuse Prevention and STOP-DWI also conducts numerous programs for schools and community groups to educate the public about the dangers of impaired driving, the increased certainty of arrest and the serious penalties faced by drivers convicted of DWI. It also holds many educational programs at high schools around the county to educate new drivers about the dangers and consequences of impaired driving. (Submitted)

Houlihan Lawrence raises $100K for breast cancer Real estate brokerage Houlihan Lawrence raised a total of $100,000 to support the fight against breast cancer this year through its participation at local walks from Westchester through Dutchess counties.
The firm reprised its role as the largest corporate sponsor of the 25th annual American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, held Oct. 21 at Manhattanville College in Purchase to increase awareness
about breast cancer and raise much-needed funds for innovative research. More than 100 Houlihan Lawrence walkers participated from throughout the company’s offices. “It’s very much a coordinated
companywide effort each year,” said Liz Battista, a survivor and captain of the Houlihan Lawrence corporate team. “Our office teams even become competitive against each other to see who can raise the most.” Battista remarked that many got creative holding events in the weeks leading up to the walk.
The Pelham office took advantage of their train station location for a rush-hour bake sale, which raised more than $1,000 in a single morning. The Rye team took the title as the highest single-office fundraiser raising more than $14,000. The Greenwich office was the top Connecticut office, gathering more than $8,000.

Houlihan Lawrence additionally participated in Support Connection’s Support-A-Walk, held at Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park, and the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation Walk at James Baird State Park in Dutchess County. The total matches the combined fundraising efforts. (Submitted)

Running up the score LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Although I may be something of a sports purist, I hardly consider myself the type of fan who rails against innovations and changes to the games that I love. I’ve fully embraced the shift in baseball, I’m glad that there is far less fighting in hockey these days, and, I have to admit, the wideopen NBA is more fun to watch now than it was in the 1990s, when the Heat and Knicks would cheap shot each other for four quarters en route to a 72-65 finish. But sometimes, you can have too much of a good thing. On Nov. 19, the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams squared off in a hotly anticipated Monday Night Football matchup that, by any account, more than
lived up to the hype. Two topflight offenses took turns marching down the field all night long until Jared Goff and the Rams were able to land the final punch to come away with a 54-51 win. The game was the highest scoring in Monday Night Football history, unequivocally becoming an instant classic that had football fans buzzing the following morning for good reason. But as thrilling as this game was, I worry that it is also a preview of what the NFL is hoping to become. Now, I’ve got nothing against an offensive shootout. Monday’s matchup was everything it promised to be, a battle between a pair of young quarterbacks leading the top two offensive teams in the league. But what made the game special is that, at least for now, these types of scoring deluges are few and far between. It just doesn’t seem like that
will be the case forever. Over the last decade or so, NFL officials have been tinkering with rules in order to promote more points. Protecting quarterbacks, limiting contact with receivers, it seems like nearly everything the league has put in place has been to facilitate higher scoring games. And I get it, offensive stars—especially quarterbacks—are the lifeblood of the league, especially for younger fans. But I worry that one day, stout defenses such as Pittsburgh’s Steel Curtain or the Ravens’ dominant group from the early 2000s, will be no more than a relic of history, like leather helmets and the wishbone offense. So I hope you enjoyed Monday night’s fireworks. I’m just worried that in another five years, games like that are just going to be par for the course.

Huskies gear up for season

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor After a thrilling run to the Class A finals last February, the Harrison girls basketball team is back for more this season and hoping to build on last year’s success. Although the club will feature a number of new faces, head coach Louis Kail is confident that the Huskies have the talent—and the drive—to accomplish big things. Harrison returns eight girls from the team that fell in the section finals to league rival Rye a year ago, and Kail believes that the experience of last season’s deep playoff run has served his players well. “I think it was huge, there’s a lot of excitement.” Kail told the Review. “Any time you can go on that type of ride with your teammates, you definitely see a lot of energy especially in the way the girls came out [in the preseason].” Although Harrison did graduate a few players—most notably all-state selection Avery La-
Barbera—the Huskies do have a number of key contributors returning, including juniors Victoria Lendino and Ashley Stagg. With LaBarbera gone, Kail expects Stagg—a prolific perimeter player—to play a larger role in the offense this year. But even as the junior sharpshooter continues to develop, Kail cautioned, the Huskies won’t be reliant on a single offensive threat this year. “Ashley did a great job last year, but she’s not going to have the same type of opportunities without having a playmaking guard in the mix, so she’s going to have to start to create her own opportunities,” the coach said. “But we don’t have one player who is going to be solely responsible out there, everyone on the team is going to have to help out, and so far I think the girls have really bought in.” Lendino, Stagg and freshman Gabby Maraccini, who played a big role for the team last year, will be tasked with keeping the Huskies afloat in a competitive league that features reigning
champion Rye and other tough foes in Byram Hills, Eastchester and Pelham. Over the last several years, Harrison’s league schedule has done wonders in terms of preparing the Huskies for the postseason, and Kail feels that this season will be no different. “Rye is basically returning everyone, and they have two phenomenal players coming back,” he said. “Byram [Hills] was very young last year and will be better, Pelham has their top player coming back, and Eastchester is always a well-coached, tough team, so everyone is going to be tough.” As the Huskies prepare for their Nov. 30 opener against Tappan Zee, Kail said his squad will need to focus on building cohesiveness and adjusting to new responsibilities. “We want to improve every day, especially in terms of defending at a high level,” he said. “We’re still working on determining our roles and hoping that the girls are able to grow as individuals and as part of the team.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
