Village drug meeting stresses importance of prevention By JAMES PERO Staff Writer With a fledgling committee on drug abuse working to mitigate an increasingly deadly threat of opiate use in the village of Mamaroneck, a question of prevention versus intervention has emerged at the crux of ini-
tial talks. While discussions during the committee’s second public meeting on Sept. 22 in the village Courtroom broached a number of topics—including enforcement and prosecution—village resident James Abbate, [age?] an attendee of the meeting, told the Review those arenas may catch
addicts only after it’s too late. “Starting at a young age, you don’t realize anything about addiction,” Abbate said. “Most kids think they’re getting high and enjoying themselves…. To try to prevent that, you have to reach [out to] kids to let them know what they’re doing to themselves.”
And when it comes to topics dealing with addiction, Abbate may offer insight that others can’t. Throughout his life, Abbate has battled drug abuse, spending a long tumultuous period of his formative years in and out of state prison. DRUG continued on page 10
As a pilot program for new meters on Mamaroneck Avenue comes to a close, the village Ad Hoc Parking Committee looks to recommend the installation of dozens of single-space smart meters. According to Maria DeRose, chairwoman of the committee, while the data of the pilot program has yet to be fully parsed, public opinion has been clear. “We’re going to recommend the single-space meters,” said DeRose, who is also running as a Republican for seat on the village Board of Trustees this election. “As far as opinions go, people don’t want the multi-space meters.” The pilot program—which was started in late May—looks to track user data on various meter styles such as user-friendliness, turnover rate and general functionality. According to Village Manager Richard Slingerland, the pilot will be fully evaluated in about two weeks. A preliminary online poll, held in January of this year, already saw overwhelming support for single-space meters from residents. In the meter pilot test were
three different varieties of single-space meters as well as one multi-space meter. The standout candidate, according to DeRose, was an ITS brand of a single-space smart meter which accepts either coins or credit cards and uses a motion senor to reset the meter once a vehicle leaves its designated spot. This technology, committee members hope, would allow for greater revenue on Mamaroneck Avenue by diminishing the ability of patrons of Mamaroneck Avenue from piggybacking off of unexpired prepaid meters. According to DeRose, overall costs of the meters, which would need to be installed for each of Mamaroneck Avenue’s 200-plus parking spaces, would run between $400 and $500 per unit. An estimated total installation cost from the committee, she said, would hover around $245,000. One style of meter that DeRose said is decidedly not in contention for the committee’s recommendation are the multispace meters, which have been derided for their clunky user interface and the fact that patrons are required to walk longer PARKING continued on page 11

Payment for Playland likely extended again
Initially due in June, a $1.5 million payment to Westchester County from Standard Amusements, the management company overseeing Playland, is likely to be extended yet again as a decision on the future status of Playland pool will also likely be extended past Friday, Sept. 30. File photo
By JAMES PERO Staff Writer An imminent extension by the Westchester County Board of Legislators on the fate of Playland’s pool casts a shadow of uncertainty over a $1.5 million payment from new park manager Standard Amusements. According to county Legislator Catherine Parker, a Rye Democrat, while the deadline for legislators to make a decision on the pool ends on Sept. 30, after press time, there is a possibility the date could be extended further. “We don’t want to demolish the pool, but we have some details to figure out if we’re going to rehabilitate it,” Parker told the Review. According to Ned McCormack, spokesman for Republican County Executive Rob Astorinio’s administration, with that potential extension for the pool could come yet another extension on an initial payment from Standard Amusements—the management company put in charge of operating the park—which is set to coincide with the county Legislature’s pool deadline.
“All the parties are talking,” said McCormack regarding the prospect of another payment extension for Standard. “It’s likely that there will be another extension.” The extended payment— which is the second contractual payment to the county as part of Standard’s deal to manage Playland, struck in May— was originally due on June 15, but was granted an extension to Sept. 30 from the county executive’s office on July 21, more than a month after the initial due date. Questions surrounding when Standard may make its initial payment have boiled to the surface over the past several months after county Legislator Ken Jenkins, a Yonkers Democrat, accused Standard of missing the $1.5 million transfer and breaching the contract. “That payment was not made,” Jenkins said. “I would question whether or not Standard is living up to their end of the bargain.” Both representatives of Standard and representatives with the county executive’s office have repeatedly refuted
such claims. “There was no late payment,” McCormack said, adding that both parties have been in constant negotiations. “An extension was granted in a timely manner.” However, emails obtained by the Review through a Freedom of Information Law, FOIL, request, show correspondence between Associate County Attorney Tami Altschiller dated June 27—nearly two weeks after the payment’s due date— prodding the co-founder of Standard Amusements, Nick Singer, on when the payment will be received. “I have checked with the finance commissioner for the county and she does not have any record showing a payment from Standard Amusements,” reads the email. “As you will recall the payment was due June 15, 2016. Please advise when the county can expect this payment to be made.” An email response from Singer, reads, “Let me speak to my CFO tomorrow and can come back to you…. Do we have wire instructions on the PLAYLAND continued on page 13

Hounds are coming to the Long Island Sound
The dog walk and festival also has fun activities for the human participants, like face painting and other crafts for kids.
It’s not every day that dogs are invited to enjoy the festivities at a local park, but that’s exactly what will happen on Sunday, Oct. 9 in Mamaroneck. Hundreds of walkers and their dogs will take a leisurely stroll around the perimeter of Harbor Island Park as part of the 8th annual Hounds on the Sound Dog Walk and Festival. Dog lovers are invited to register for the walk and get pledges of support from family and friends. You can also just show up to walk and pay the $25 reg-
istration fee; $40 for a family. The event is a fundraiser for the Humane Society of Westchester and Pet Rescue, with some of the proceeds going to the Friends of Mount Vernon Shelter Animals. Activities will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the dog walk starting at 11:30 a.m. After the procession, browse the wares of numerous vendors (with lots of dog-related merchandise), listen to music, and enjoy refreshments such as pizza, burgers,
hot dogs from Walter’s and home-baked treats. Get a takehome photo of you and your dog posing at the water’s edge, get a balloon shaped like a dog, buy raffle tickets, and enjoy face painting and crafts for the kids. You can also run your dog through an agility course with a professional trainer. New this year will be dog contests including Best Costume, Best Trick and Best Kisser. Both dogs and cats will also be available for adoption.

Le Provençal Bistro: 20 years strong It has been an exciting time for restaurants in Westchester, especially in Mamaroneck, and Le Provençal Bistro feels so proud to be part of that growth. It cannot wait to see what the next five years will bring. In honor of hitting the 20-year mark, Le Provençal is offering an extensive three-course dinner for $29.95 from Monday, Oct. 3 through Sunday, Oct. 16. Visit provencalbistro.com to view the special menu. Le Provençal Bistro has enlarged the bar area with marble high-top tables to enjoy the new small plates bar menu, which includes avocado toast with toasted pistachios, duck confit tacos, sautéed mussels Provençal, sautéed mushrooms bruschetta, homemade foie gras on toast, and Assiette de Charcuterie. The restaurant has also added a special on each weekday, like the award-winning two-course mussels on Mondays at $24.95, BYOB on Tuesdays, grilled New York steak au poivre for $27.95 on Wednesdays, and a
two-course lobster special for $27.95 on Thursdays. Le Provençal Bistro’s cuisine is characterized as Mediterranean, French bistro food with a flair that lives up to the highest French standards. Traditional highlights such as bouillabaisse and coq au vin are combined with eclectic offerings, such as Kobe burgers, lobster risotto and a spicy sesame-ginger shrimp. Vegetarian dishes are also on offer, including a delicious quinoa salad and gluten-free choices. The wine list is well-chosen, including not only French wines but selected wines from around the world, all offering outstanding value. The signature rosés from the south of France are exceptional. The charming dining room is tastefully decorated with butter yellow walls, historical photographs of France, artwork of the Provençal artist Gerard Isirdi, ceramic vases filled with sunflowers, wrought iron racks and mirrors. The atmosphere is informal, relaxed and friendly.
About Le Provençal Bistro Chef/owner Derrick Dikkers, a native of Amsterdam, perfected his mastery of French cuisine during the five years he spent in Provence working at the famous L’Oustau de Baumanière in Les Baux de Provence, Provence’s most famous village. He has returned regularly to enjoy the smells, fragrances and the colors in the local markets and restaurants. He studied at a hotel school in Switzerland, worked in the famed Maxim’s in Paris and Singapore, and later headed the Bel Age Hotel in Los Angeles and the Doral Hotel restaurants in New York City. Over the years, he has added an international mix, chosen from the world’s best cuisines to complement the Mediterranean flavors. Dikkers kept coming back, however, to the cuisine of the place he loved and decided to open his own restaurant in Mamaroneck, Westchester County, New York. That restaurant, now in its 20th year, has become a

celebrated fixture in Westchester, enjoying the highest reputation, outstanding reviews and a loyal clientele that keeps coming back. Le Provençal Bistro is very much a family-run operation. Next to chef Dikkers, his wife
Mieke runs the dining room with a professional hand. A favorite place for Sunday brunch, Le Provençal Bistro is also a wildly popular venue for private parties—bridal showers, baby showers and birthday parties. (Submitted)

Larchmont library officially re-opens A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on Saturday, Sept. 24 at 11 a.m., officially reopening the Larchmont Public Library following the completion of a lengthy renovation that renews and updates the main library. Attending and participating in the ceremony were village of Larchmont Mayor Lorraine Walsh; town of Mamaroneck Supervisor Nancy Seligson; state Sen. George Latimer; Mamaroneck Town Council members Abby Katz and Ernie Odierna; village trustees Carol Miller and Malcolm Frouman; and Anne McAndrews, former Larchmont mayor. The Larchmont library board of trustees also participated, including chair Pamela Tillinghast Dubitsky, Jennifer Jordan Conley, Maureen Feerick LeBlanc, Lauren Gottfried, John McGarr and Linnet Tse. Laura Eckley, library director, also participated in the ceremony. Tillinghast Dubitsky led the ceremony, and following the presentation of an official joint proclamation presented by Seligson and Walsh, cut the
ribbon officially opening the new library to the public. The main building of the Larchmont library was last renovated in 1994, before the Internet and before the many digital devices we take for granted now radically changed the way we access information. Over time, while demand for traditional library services remained strong, library patrons increasingly sought new services and technologies. As offerings expanded, facilities needed to expand, too. It became evident that in order to stay viable and remain a vital place within the community, a significant renovation was necessary. Working within the existing footprint, architects updated the building’s interior while maintaining its traditional feel. The renovation greatly improves flow throughout the three levels of the building and ensures that all spaces are fully ADA-accessible, and includes electrical upgrades and energy-efficient lighting. Patrons now enter the building into a bright and open
space that offers improvements for everyone. A new Technology Commons includes computer workstations, a laptop bar, long study tables, a business center and conference and tutoring rooms. A glass-enclosed reading room creates a quiet space for patrons seeking a more traditional library, while a browsing room with bestsellers welcomes those who seek a more relaxed atmosphere. The renovated library also includes a new coffee bar and patrons can enjoy covered beverages anywhere in the main building. And finally, new bathrooms are conveniently located on the main level. On the upper level, there’s the vibrant new LOFT, a newly designed space for teens. Children who spent their early years in our award-winning Children’s Room (winning Best of Westchester in 2012, 2014 and 2016) can now “graduate” to a space of their own. The upper level is further enhanced with a tutoring room, a laptop bar, a new director’s office and a new fiction reading area. On the lower level, the

art gallery has been improved, and serves as access to the delightful Ryder’s Garden, dedicated last summer in memory of Ryder Brown. The Larchmont Public Li-
brary board of trustees is particularly proud that this renovation was funded primarily through donations and grants; nearly 650 local families donated a total of $1.5 mil-
lion, and the library received $272,000 in New York state grants, including grants obtained with the help of Latimer and state Assemblyman Steve Otis. (Submitted)

A new beginning for Post Road Realty Drawing upon their collective decades-worth of real estate and property management experience, Stewart Greenfield and Anthony DeCioccio have already made a significant impact in the local community in the two short months since opening Post Road Realty. The new brokerage is located at 916 E. Boston Post Road in
Mamaroneck and according to DeCioccio, the company just finalized their first $1 million real estate deal while hitting over 30 listings. “We are branching out all over Westchester,” DeCioccio said. “We just hired two new agents because we are expanding so quickly.” Greenfield’s experience

includes work as a broker throughout the 1980’s in Brooklyn Heights. After spending some time away from the industry, he then worked as a broker for Keller Williams Realty and Grand Lux Realty before realizing his dream to join up with DeCioccio and open his own brokerage. “This was a dream shared by my wife, who unfortunately passed away,” he said. DeCioccio has worked in real estate since 2006 and while he has also seen his share of success, closing numerous highend listings, he prides himself in his work with less fortunate people, namely battered women and low-income earners. “That’s what makes us so unique,” DeCioccio said. “We help a lot of the less fortunate people and we try and put their kids in good school districts so they have better opportunities in the future. We want to work with you whether you have a dollar or a million [dollars].” On Saturday, Sept. 17, Post Road Realty hosted a com-

“I’m not ashamed to tell my story,” he said. “The person I am today can help other people.” Abbate, now 16 years clean, said while court intervention, counseling and enforcement play an important role, nothing is more critical than addressing the problem before addiction takes root. “When [kids] are at the stage where addiction is already getting them in trouble, that’s like the third stage,” he said. “We want to get them at the first [stage], and give them [the] knowledge of what they’re actually doing to themselves.” Abbate, who has studied both addiction and prevention, said reaching kids sooner rather than later could have huge benefits later on when they’re confronted with the option of doing drugs.
“You have to try to connect with kids,” he said. “They can relate to you when you relate to them.” Village Mayor Norman Rosenblum, a Republican, who organized the coalition of government, school and community members, seconded Abbate’s push for prevention. “You want to try to get kids in sixth to eighth grade,” the mayor said. “You want to, over time, change the psyche of kids through education and exposure.” Rosenblum said that in an effort to expand preventative programs, he is already seeking additional funding for schools that are looking to broaden their programs to even more students. Likewise, with the schools’ permission, Abbate said he would speak to students about
addiction and its perils, free of charge. Talks of immediate intervention in Mamaroneck’s community have boiled to the surface over the past month following a rash of five overdoses—two of which were fatal—which have accumulated in just under two months. Now, by helping unite local and state government officials—state Sen. George Latimer and state Assemblyman Steve Otis, both Rye Democrats, attended the last meeting–in addition to schools and community members, Rosenblum hopes that greater conversation could lead to tangible change. “If we can stop one or two kids from killing themselves, it’ll all be worth it,” he said.

distances to pay for their parking. In 2014, the village Board of Trustees voted to purchase 18 multi-space meters for a sum of $114,000, but they were never installed due to public backlash. Some of those meters are now installed in parking lots adjacent to Mamaroneck Avenue. Still, Trustee Leon Potok, a Democrat who is running for reelection this year, has advocated keeping the options open in re-
gard to the potential application of multi-space meters on Mamaroneck Avenue. “My concern is that we have an inferior multispace meter and that the comparison with the single-space meters is not a fair comparison,” he told the Review. Potok explained that since the village’s current request for proposals process requires the board and village manager to authorize the lowest bid, an inferior multi-
space and single-space meter could be selected. In response, the board plans to alter village law to permit the selection of an option that is considered the “best value.” A round of public hearings will begin next month.The recommendation, according to DeRose, will likely not be issued to the village board until sometime in October.

Uncovering why some women cover up RHYMES WITH CRAZY Lenore Skenazy
Religiously observant Muslims and Jews convened in lower Manhattan recently to discuss an item of vital interest to both: Headscarves. Also long skirts, high collars and how much arm one can expose. Whatever tension may or may not exist between the faiths on a political level vanished at a symposium on dressing modestly yet fashionably, organized by Daniel Cole of the NYU Costume Studies Department, and opened by Nancy Deihl, the director of the program. To give you an idea of how this topic cuts across religious lines, try to guess which of these statements was made by a Jewish woman, and which by a Muslim: “I dress modestly because God commanded me to, as a way to focus on my value as a person.” “Why do women cover? Sexuality is something that belongs in the home.” Answer: Jew, Muslim, respectively. But they were both nodding along with each other. The Jewish woman here is Michelle Honig, a fashion journalist who often writes about the intersection of fashion and modesty. She was wearing a green striped sweater with a white long-sleeved shirt underneath, a slim dark skirt, and long blonde hair—a wig that mostly, but not totally (she admitted) covers her hair. Her shoes looked straight out of Vogue. Admittedly, Honig said, the idea of a religiously observant Muslim, Jewish or even Christian woman “doesn’t bring to mind very fashionable women.” But just because they are
covering more of themselves than your average secular lass, doesn’t mean they have to be dowdy. Honig goes shopping at popular stores, “browsing through the racks, each piece going through some mental calculation of how to modest-ify it.” To do that, she usually adds layers, or maybe she’ll sew up the slit of a slinky skirt. Voila: a fashionable young woman in “normal” clothes that just happen to cover the knees and elbows. Dian Pelangi, head designer of the Indonesian fashion company that bears her name, took the podium next, looking regal in a stunning floor-length green cape with a black hood. “Hijab means ‘to cover,’” she explained to half the audience that wasn’t already wearing one of these Muslim head coverings. “There was a time when the hijab was considered weird, backwards and old-fashioned,” Pelangi said. But now it is “huge trend.” Witness the fact that a Jakarta designer showed the first “modest” fashion line at New York Fashion Week this year. And the fact both Tommy Hilfiger and DKNY brought out a Ramadan collection. Or even the fact that Pelangi herself has 4.3 million Twitter followers who look to her for advice on modest styles. With 23 percent of the world’s population being followers of Islam, catering to Muslim women’s fashion needs makes business sense. “For me,” said Pelangi, “modest fashion is the next emerging market.” And yet, for the women at this symposium, fashion meant more than just looking good. “The fashion world as it exists today is about very public sexuality,” said Ann Shafer, an art historian and architect
specializing in Islamic culture who teaches at FIT. “So I’m trying to provide another world view”—the view that “sexuality is not a sort of public phenomenon.” Shafer herself converted to Islam and was covered except for her face. But don’t think this made her—or any of the women on the panel—feel second class. On the contrary, they spoke of the freedom and joy of dressing this way. In countries like America, where women have the choice to dress any way they please, “If women still choose to cover their bodies,” said Honig, they are not “victims” who need to be saved, they’re making a statement. “They take pride in their modesty because it’s part of who they are.” Added Shafer, “It is often assumed that Muslim women who wear conservative dress don’t have a relationship to their bodies.” On the contrary, “Islam is very open about sort of how to treat your body as a sexual phenomenon”—just not in public. The other speakers concurred. They don’t want to be thought of as sexless, just maybe excess-less; rejecting a culture that reveals too much. “Modest dress should not be the ‘other’ choice, just an equal choice,” said Malky Weichbrod, the observant Jew behind the website, “My Therapist Told Me to Write a Fashion Blog.” And if ladies kick it up a notch by making it look great, they’ve got the best of both worlds. As Lyn Bakri, founder of the fashion line Aneeqa, said, “You don’t have to show much skin to look beautiful and be confident.” The women at NYU, in their robes, scarves, wigs and heels, were evidence of that.

special reserve account?” A representative from Standard Amusements told the Review that those correspondences failed to reflect ongoing discussions between the company and the county executive’s office; discussions which Altschiller was allegedly not privy to, according to a Standard spokesperson. Altschiller declined to comment on whether or not her email was sent to Singer without such knowledge. When reached by phone on Wednesday, Singer would not tell the Review whether Standard planned to make its $1.5 million payment to the county by the previously agreed upon Sept. 30 deadline. A representative from Standard emailed a statement to the Review, which said, “Standard Amusements is committed to one thing: making Playland a crown jewel of Westchester County, once again. Any suggestion we have done anything to disrupt that goal is just silly.” County administration officials have repeatedly tied Stan-
dard’s reluctance to send its initial payment to uncertainty over Playland’s pool. “[Standard said] it doesn’t make sense for us to make a payment before [issues with the pool] get resolved,” McCormack said. In a county Budget and Appropriations Committee meeting on Aug. 15, Lawrence Soule, the county budget director, reiterated similar sentiments about the payment, explaining during discussions with committee members that Standard’s payment was “delayed” and is “pending the outcome” of a decision on the future of the pool. Parker, who was among county Democrats deriding Astorino’s agreement with Standard before its authorization in May, said that the last payment extension as well as a potential extension in the near future is just one example of a flawed agreement between the two parties. “My discomfort with the agreement started right from the beginning,” Parker said. “The structure gives Standard the right to pull out and it gives little power to the county.”
According to the finalized version of the agreement, Standard may exercise its right to contractually exit the agreement if the county Board of Legislators fails to reach a decision on the pool before a predetermined deadline. That deadline was originally slated for July 31 but was extended until Sept. 30. To date, Standard has given no indication that it intends to exercise its right to opt out. A 30-year agreement between the county and Standard commits both parties to $30 million in critical capital improvements at the ailing amusement park and is the culmination of several years of negotiations with various public and private entities. Now, legislators seem in favor of providing renovations to the pool amidst tepid support for a bond act introduced by Astorino’s administration that would have seen its complete removal. Legislator Ben Boykin, a White Plains Democrat, could not be reached for comment as of press time. CONTACT: james@hometwn.com

Remembering No. 16 LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
As an avid baseball fan for much of my 31 years on this planet, I’ve seen my fair share of dramatic home runs. From Joe Carter’s World Series-winner in 1992 to Mike Piazza’s post-9/11 shot at Shea Stadium, there are a lot that were in the conversation for “most memorable.” At least, they were in the conversation until Monday night. In the Miami Marlins’ first game following the tragic boating death of 24-year-old phenom Jose Fernandez, Miami leadoff hitter Dee Gordon—a close friend of Fernandez—stepped into the right-handed batters box (he’s a lefty) as a tribute to his late teammate, took a pitch from the Mets’ Bartolo Colon, then dug in from the left side and cranked Colon’s next offering over the fence for his first home run of the season.
Tears flowed down Gordon’s cheeks as he rounded the bases, and he was mobbed by his teammates in the dugout, an unusual occurrence for a home run in the first inning of a game. It was an incredible sight, but given the passion and exuberance that their fallen teammate played with in his brief Major League Baseball career, it was a perfectly fitting tribute to Fernandez. In just three years as a major leaguer, Fernandez had become one of the most recognizable and popular stars in the game. A right-handed hurler with electric stuff, his starts were appointment viewing for baseball fans. But it wasn’t just his prodigious ability to rack up strikeouts that made Fernandez outings mustwatch TV; it was his on-field exuberance and passion for the game that set him apart. Sure, Fernandez’s celebrations may have rankled some of baseball’s elder statesmen; his first career homer led to a bench-
clearing fracas when Braves’ catcher Brian McCann felt he had admired his handiwork for a bit too long—but it didn’t take a genius to see that Fernandez wasn’t out there to show people up, he just simply loved the game of baseball. Earlier this season, Fernandez was hitting against Dodger rookie Kenta Maeda when Maeda fooled him on a letter-high, Frisbee slider. While no big-leaguer likes getting fooled, Fernandez’s reaction was unique; he flashed Maeda a huge grin, and when he got back to the dugout, he—still chuckling—demonstrated to his teammates just how much that pitch had moved, as if to say, “How the heck was I supposed to hit that?” No ballplayer likes to look bad, but Fernandez laughed it off, like he was a beer-league softball player razzing himself for swinging and missing in a slow pitch league. Fernandez was one of the game’s brightest stars, a Cuban-

born immigrant to this country who risked his life to seek opportunity in America. He had a world of talent and could have been a perennial all-star, one of the sport’s great young players. But what I—and many others—will remember him most for is the emotion with which he played the game of baseball.
He made baseball fun, because he was clearly having fun. Sometimes, moments in sports feel so perfect, it’s almost as though they’re scripted. Gordon’s homer on Monday was one of those. Watching him and the rest of the Marlins fight back tears as they celebrated in the dugout was proof that although
Fernandez might be gone, his impact on the game and the lives he touched live on. We might not see another player like No. 16 for a while, but I’m just glad I got to see him at all.

Huguenots tame Tigers FOOTBALL
class aa
NEW ROCHELLE 34 MAMARONECK 0 MAMARONECK HS
9/23/16
Game Notes: • Nashiem Hiland rushed for 55 yards, caught three passes for 83 yards and found the end zone three times • The Huguenots posted their second-straight shutout and have won back-to-back games by 34 points • New Rochelle has outscored its opponents 142-19 this year By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Coming into the second half of Friday night’s showdown between New Rochelle and Mamaroneck, the Huguenots held a 13-point lead but were still looking for the spark that would
help them put the pesky Tigers away. It wouldn’t take long for them to find their footing, however, as halfback Jared Baron— inspired by some words from former New Rochelle great Ray Rice—marched his team 70 yards down the field on its opening drive of the half and found the end zone. Fueled by Baron’s tough running, the Huguenots’ offense woke up, and posted 21 straight second half points as New Rochelle topped the Tigers 34-0 to win its fourth-straight game of the season. “We talked about coming out strong because we started kind of slow,” Baron said. “And Ray let me know that I was going to be getting the ball, so I just knew that I had to finish.” After posting just one offensive touchdown in the first half on a reception by Nashiem Hiland, the Huguenot offense exploded for three more scores, including two more by Hiland in the second half. New Rochelle’s other first half score came on an 84-yard intercep-
tion return by Johnny McGhee. “Coach DiRienzo just told us we needed to pick up the tempo and battle for another 24 minutes,” Hiland said. “We just took that in and came out and played hard in the second half.” New Rochelle’s wealth of skilled position players eventually wore down the normally stout Mamaroneck defense, and Hiland said that being able to utilize players like Baron, Romeo Holden and two talented quarterbacks in Jonathan Saddler and Keion Hiland-Jones can present matchup problems for opposing teams. “It feels good having so many weapons, because they don’t know who to guard or where the play is going,” Hiland said. “To have an offense like this, it also helps because we can take breathers and get some rest.” But as talented as New Rochelle’s offense has been so far, the defense—long the calling card of the Huguenots’ program—has been nearly perfect. New Rochelle has allowed

just 19 points on the year and has surrendered just one touchdown in the last three weeks. “Coach [DiRienzo] always prepares us in practice and it’s all about the reads and the technique,” Baron said. “New Rochelle has been a great defensive team for many, many
years, and we are just trying to keep that legacy going.” With the loss, Mamaroneck fell to 1-3, but will look to inch a step closer to a .500 record when it takes on Mount Vernon on Oct. 1. Unbeaten New Rochelle will travel to Clarkstown South on Saturday to take on
the Rams, who are also undefeated at 4-0 on the year. “This feels good and we just need to keep grinding,” Hiland said. “Chapter four is completed and we’ve got to get ready for the next chapter this week.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

9/26/16
Game Notes: • Sophomore Elizabeth Brissette scored three goals to lead the way for Mamaroneck • The Broncos managed only one shot on goal against the Tigers • Bronxville goalie Katie Gordon made five saves
By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Sept. 26, two of the premier field hockey programs in Section I squared off at Bronxville High School, as the Class C Broncos hosted the reigning Class A state champions from Mamaroneck. In the end, it was the bigger school that came out on top, as the surging Tigers rode a terrific offensive performance to a 5-0 win. Mamaroneck controlled the time of possession on Monday, limiting the Broncos to just one shot against Tiger goalie Charlotte Mackie, as sophomore Elizabeth Brissette netted a hat trick to help the Tigers improve to 7-1-1 on the year.

Mamaroneck’s offense seems to be finding a higher gear in the last week and has outscored its opponents 12-0 over the past two games. “If you would have asked if I expected a win like this a week and a half ago, I don’t know what I would have said,” Mamaroneck head coach John Savage said. “But I think the kids are getting the idea of what we want to do, they’re trusting each other over the last few games, and they’re showing what they can do.” In addition to Brissette’s threegoal effort, Sophie Brill and Emily Mahland each had a score and an assist, while Brigid Knowles added two assists for good measure. The hat trick was Brissette’s second in as many games. “Even though [Brissette is a] sophomore, she’s been playing for a while and she’s put in the time to develop her skills,” Savage said. “I think she has a chance to be among the best players in the section.” With the loss, the Broncos fall to 7-3 on the season, but each one of Bronxville’s defeats have come at the hands of a much larger opponent. Savage said, “When we put the schedule together, we look at the teams from Class A, then look at Class B and teams like Rye and Lakeland. In Class C, it’s really only Bronxville; they’re a good program and the only games they have lost this year have been to top teams like Rye and Scarsdale.” Mamaroneck, on the other hand, has gone 6-0-1 since a season-opening 4-0 loss to Scarsdale on Sept. 7. The Raiders and Tigers appear to be on a collision course for the regular season finale on Oct. 17, in a game that could very well determine both the league championship and the overall top seed in the Class A playoff picture. Savage expects his Tigers to give a much better showing the second time around. “If that Scarsdale game didn’t open our eyes, I think we would have been in a lot of trouble,” Savage said. “But we’ve started working harder; it’s a slow process, but I think we’re in the right frame of mind.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
