Legislators introduce “reusable bag initiative” White Plains, NY — As people around the globe observe Earth Day this weekend, Westchester County Legislators Kitley Covill and Nancy Barr are putting their environmental principles into action at home: They are proposing legislation to encourage the use of reusable bags and keep single-use plastic checkout bags out of the County’s streets, landfills and waterways. “This is the first step toward a goal we all share -- to improve the environment by eliminating the plastic bags that pollute our waterways, clog our sewers, back up our storm drains, endanger our marine life and litter our streets,” said District 2 Legislator, Kitley
S. Covill of Katonah. “This legislation reflects an increasing awareness of how destructive, permanent and unnecessary single-use plastic bags actually are,” said District 6 Legislator, Nancy Barr of Rye Brook. “While several municipalities around Westchester already have reusable bag legislation and several others are considering similar laws, it’s time for the County as a whole to join other counties like Suffolk in leading the State and the Nation towards a cleaner, more sustainable future for ourselves and for our children.” The newly proposed Reusable Bag Initiative looks to eliminate single-use plastic bags for retail
checkout. Stores and other sellers will be allowed to provide only heavier-duty reusable bags or bags made of recycled paper. We are proposing a fee of no less than 10 cents for every bag provided by a seller as studies have shown that a fee encourages consumers to bring their own bags, and results in the reduction of waste. To ensure that the fee is not a burden on those who can’t afford it, SNAP and WIC recipients are exempted under the proposal. Also exempted are certain kinds of bags – such as dry cleaner garment covers, thin produce bags and larger bags of the sort used for garbage liners, as well as paper bags used by pharmacies
for prescriptions. The legislation additionally takes aim at polystyrene foam packing materials, banning their use in food packing and other kinds of items packed in the County. “The introduction of this measure is the first step in the legislative process,” said Covill. “The various committees at the Board of Legislators will be listening to everyone – store owners, consumers, environmental scientists and others – as we work together to shape a law that is not an undue burden on anyone, but one that will make the Westchester BAGS continued on page 8
of the county during last year’s elections. With Mayer’s win, Democrats technically now have a one-vote majority over the GOP in New York’s state Senate; however, one Democrat in the Legislature has said we will continue to align with Republicans. Prior to the election, mainline Democrats tried to unify their party in order to take control of the Senate for the first time since 2010. The effort proved to be unsuccessful though, as Brooklyn Democrat Simcha Felder announced the day of the vote that he would continue to caucus with Republicans regardless of the results of the special election. In a public statement, Felder said, “With only 25 days remaining in this year’s legislative session, I believe it is my obligation
to prevent an unprecedented and uncertain late session political battle that will only hurt my constituents and New Yorkers.” That gives the GOP a one-seat majority over Democrats until the end of this year’s legislative session, which ends in June. Despite her loss, State Republican Chairman Edward Cox said Killian is a “tenacious advocate for the reforms that are so desperately needed to restore our state and has established herself as a champion for Westchester and New York taxpayers.” Killian’s loss is her second unsuccessful bid for the 37th Senate District seat, after she previously lost against Latimer in 2016. Senators are elected to twoyear terms for a base salary of $79,500 per year. CONTACT: franco@hometwn.com

On Derby Day for Z100’s Greg T, It’s All About the Hats (Yonkers, NY) – For horse racing fans, two things matter on Derby Day – their pick to win and, more importantly, their choice of hat. Empire City Casino, the premier entertainment destination in the northeast, announced today that Greg T. of Elvis Duran and the Z100 Morning Show, will be the host and celebrity judge for the casino’s fourth annual Kentucky Derby Hat Contest on Saturday, May 5th. The Derby festivities begin at 3:00 p.m. trackside adjacent to Yonkers Raceway. Previous celebrity hosts and judges include Supermodel Hannah Davis Jeter, Real Housewives of New York City star Bethenny Frankel and Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Zolciak. The legendary cast member of Z100’s Elvis Duran and the Morning Show will lend his radio voice and wear his judging hat where he, along with Fashion Judge Simone Piliero from Simply by Simone, will pick their win, show, and place for best hat with a third place prize of $100, a runner-up prize of $250 and a first place prize of $500. In addition, for one lucky in-
dividual, the T in Greg T. will stand for top-hat with a special celebrity pick by the morning radio host for his favorite derby attire, which comes with a $750 prize. Z100’s street team will also be on-site giving away free swag. “Ever since I went on my first pony ride, I have always been interested in the Kentucky Derby,” said Greg T. “I am intrigued and super excited for the Derby Hat Contest and can’t wait.” “The atmosphere at Empire City Casino on Derby Day has the look and feel of the Kentucky Derby itself, between the build-up to the big race and the creativity our visitors show in coming up with the most out-ofthis-world, outside-the-box hats,” said Taryn Duffy, director of public affairs for Empire City Casino. “We encourage everyone to put on their ‘thinking cap’ and join in the Derby Day fun.” While waiting to showcase their wild and wacky hats, viewing party attendees can enjoy the Southern thirst and charm of a traditional Mint Julep to get into the Derby Day spirit, as well as dine on a variety of food
selections trackside. Guests can also experience classic raceway dining in the Empire Terrace, open from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. race day, where the Derby can be viewed on a private screen at the party’s table. Reservations for the Empire Terrace are now being accepted for parties of six or more by calling 914-968-4200 ext. 649. After experiencing Kentucky-in-New York, guests can try their luck on the casino’s IGT Wheel of Fortune Triple Stars® slot machine jackpot, now over $1.1-million. Just this past March, Theresa P. of Westchester, NY won a life-changing jackpot of $2.9-million, the highest-ever jackpot at any of New York State’s regulated casinos. Empire City is Manhattan’s closest casino, just a short drive from the George Washington Bridge and easily accessible via Metro North, Bus, Shuttle Bus and more (exact point-to-point directions provided here).

Legislators to give more county contracts to veterans The Westchester County Board of Legislators passed legislation on Monday aimed at giving Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) more of the County’s future contracts across all County Departments, including Westchester County Community College. The legislation, which was first proposed by Legislator Margaret Cunzio (C) Mount Pleasant, North Castle, Pleasantville, requires departments and offices of the County to encourage the participation of Certified SDVOB’s in the county contracting process, and to document efforts to do so. It does not establish a fixed “quota” requirement. Westchester County’s Office of Veterans Affairs will prepare and submit an annual report in cooperation with the various county departments to be submitted by June 1st each year to the County Executive and the Board of Legislators. The SDVOB Act was discussed and passed out of the Budget & Appropriations Committee, Chaired by Legislator Catherine Borgia and the Seniors & Constituencies Committee, Chaired by Legislator David Tubiolo. Westchester’s
legislation is similar to a New York State Executive Law which is designed, among other things, to provide opportunities for a SDVOB’s to participate in state contracts. That State Executive Order is currently set to expire on March 31, 2019. Currently, there are approximately 15 certified SDVOB’s operating in Westchester County with nearly 450 such businesses statewide. These businesses provide goods and services across a broad spectrum of industries like construction/demolition, IT services, office furniture distribution, heavy equipment sales, staffing services, and pest control and janitorial services. Legislator Margaret Cunzio has advocated for the SDVOB Act since the last Legislative term and has worked closely with William Segel a combat veteran and SDVOB owner who lives in her district and with Ron Tocci, Westchester’s Director of Veterans Services. “William and other Veterans deserve our gratitude for the sacrifices they have made on our behalf but they also deserve real world opportunities to establish themselves and their businesses once their service time has ended. Because of their mil-
itary experience, Veteran business owners tend to have strong leadership skills, work ethic and discipline. All the things we look for when contracting with private businesses on behalf of Westchester taxpayers.” Cunzio added, “Veterans often hire other veterans and that is a sector of the employment market that needs and deserves special attention.” County Executive George Latimer said, “This measure is a common sense way to do what we can in here in Westchester to help those who gave so much to help us. I am proud of the work done here by my colleagues in Government on the Board of Legislators to honor Westchester’s approximately 40,000 veterans. I look forward to signing this bill and – though our Director of Veterans Services Ron Tocci – overseeing its implementation.” Minority Leader John Testa an early supporter of the SDVOB Act said, “This is a very effective and tangible way that we can show our Veterans that we appreciate their service and their exceptional training. It is also an effective way to help them establish themselves as civilian business people and contribute to our local economy.” (Submitted)

Former First Lady Barbara Bush, a native of the city of Rye, died last week. She was 92.
After declining treatment during several hospitalizations, in which she was hospitalized for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, commonly known as COPD, and congestive heart failure, the former first lady passed away on April 17. Bush had also been suffering from Graves’ disease, a thyroid condition, for many years before her death. She was accompanied by her loved ones at her home in Houston at the time of her death. Bush, who grew up in Rye and attended the Rye Country Day
Her family is well-known for its political figures, as her son George W. Bush served two terms as the president from 2001 to 2009, and her other son Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor, recently tried to capture the Republican nomination during
the 2016 presidential election. Barbara Bush was known for supporting many humanitarian causes, including universal literacy. She founded the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy while serving as the first lady. In 1995, Barbara Bush was
awarded for Greatest Public Service Benefiting the Disadvantaged. She also won an award, the Miss America Woman of Achievement Award, for her work with many literacy programs. -Reporting by Franco Fino

we leave for our children better, cleaner and more sustainable.” In a statement, the environmental group the Bedford 2020 Coalition, said, “Bedford 2020 applauds the efforts of Legislators Kitley Covill and Nancy Barr to reduce the environmental impact of disposable bags and polystyrene in Westchester County. Disposable shopping bags are a major source of waste and pollution. Plastic bags contaminate our soil and water and have had a devastating impact on wildlife. Production of paper bags requires large amounts of water, energy and chemicals and can emit toxic and hazardous chemicals into our air and water. We are proud to see Westchester County taking a leadership role in reducing bag waste and addressing the impact these materials are having on our natural resources.” Jeremy Cherson, Advocacy Coordinator for Riverkeeper, said, “Each year, nearly 23 billion single-use plastic bags are used across New York State. Research by Riverkeeper and Columbia University’s Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory found microplastic particles prevalent in

waters across the New York metro area, including Westchester County. Initial evidence from the first year after California’s ban went into effect, shows a nearly 7 percent reduction in plastic bags found on beaches statewide.
We know that policies addressing plastic and polystyrene pollution reduce litter. Riverkeeper looks forward to engaging in the process to ensure the law leads to less plastic and polystyrene in our waters.” (Submitted)

In defense of Jeter LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
As someone who has plied his trade as a sports reporter for much of his adult life, when it comes to debates about the media’s role in American life, I side – more often than not – with the journalist. In a time when more and more people seek to discredit the motives of media members, I can’t help but come to their defense, except perhaps in instances of the most egregious examples of journalistic bias and grandstanding. But for the life of me, I can’t find it within myself to defend Bryant Gumbel. On an April 24 airing of HBO’s Real Sports, a program I have greatly admired for years, Gumbel interviewed Miami Marlins CEO Derek Jeter, pressing the former Yankee great on some of his front office moves during his short tenure at the helm of the NL East ballclub. The premise behind Gumbel’s line of questioning was sound enough – since taking the reins of the team, Jeter
has jettisoned many of the Marlins’ top players, including Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich and Marcell Ozuna, in the hopes of shedding payroll. Jeter has publicly stated that this proposed rebuild of the Marlins – while clearly frustrating for fans – is the only way to ensure that the team will be a viable contender down the road. But Gumbel hammered Jeter, asking the first-year CEO flat-out if he was trying to lose games – or at least has knowingly put the Marlins in a position where winning games would be difficult, if not impossible. Jeter, as you may have heard, did not take kindly to Gumbel’s implications, and the sit-down got a bit heated. But here’s the thing; Gumbel was asking fairly obvious questions, it seemed, simply to get a rise out of a high profile interviewee. Of course the Marlins aren’t going to win many games! Common sense would dictate that when you ship off your stars for prospects, your team is bound to take a downturn. It’s a process

that has played out in professional sports for eons now. And it’s not like the Marlins were exactly world-beaters with their stars anyway; last season, the team finished with a sub-.500 record despite having the National League MVP on the roster. So you blow it up, restock the farm system with young, affordable talent and hope that, in a few years, those players form the base of a new nucleus that can carry the team. Just look at the Philadelphia 76ers; years of tanking and acquiring high draft picks is finally starting to pay off, as the Sixers recently bested the Miami Heat in a first-round NBA playoff series. It was a process, said Sixers’ executives, and now we’re seeing the results. But of course Jeter couldn’t admit his team was lousy, it’s something that front office members are pretty hesitant to do, for obvious reasons. Gumbel, I think, knew this all too well, and figured that if he could get Jeter to lose his cool, he could get a little publicity out of the interview. “Gotcha” journalism at its finest. I don’t fault Jeter for getting

agitated. It was the reaction Gumbel wanted and he got it – as well as several news stories about the interview before it
aired. It’s just a shame that he had to stoop so low to promote the show. And it’s an even bigger shame
that I’m defending Jeter.

Garnets outlast Tigers BASEBALL
non-league
RYE 4 MAMARONECK 1 DISBROW PARK
4/28/18
Game Notes: • Sean Hale picked up the win with four innings of solid work in relief • Max Bohn recorded Mamaroneck’s lone RBI • The Garnets will play rival Harrison on April 28 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor A matchup between two of the most prominent baseball programs in the area turned into a battle of the bullpens on Tuesday, as Rye hosted Mamaroneck in a non-league affair. In the end, it was a sharp relief performance by Sean Hale and a three-run fifth inning that proved the difference-maker, as the Garnets topped the Tigers 4-1. Hale picked up the win for Rye, tossing four innings of one-run baseball after coming on for starter Sean Thompson, as the Garnets improved to 7-0-1 on the season. Peter Ferraro, who entered a tie game in the bottom of the fifth inning, surrendered three runs and was saddled with the loss. “Sometimes we start the game slow, but we knew we were going to need to start fast today and bring the intensity,” Hale said. “It takes us a while to adjust, but like you saw, once we get on them, we get on them.” Rye drew first blood in the fourth inning on a sacrifice fly by Alex Noga, but the Tigers roared back in the top of the fifth when Max Bohn singled in Chris Watroba to knot the score at 1-1. The Garnets answered with three runs in the bottom half of the frame on a rally that started when Thompson ripped
a first-pitch offering from Ferraro to bring around a runner from second base. Rye would go on to cross the plate twice more in the inning to put the game effectively out of reach. “We had bunted him over into scoring position,” Thompson said. “And I knew I couldn’t leave him out there on second base.” Tuesday’s game kicked off an important week for the two ballclubs, as both squads will now turn their attentions to a pair of games against bitter league rivals. The Tigers will begin a twogame set with Scarsdale on April 25, after press time, while the Garnets get set for two matchups with Harrison, which will conclude with the annual Andrew Gurgitano Memorial Game on April 28 at Silver Lake Park in West Harrison.
According to Hale, earning a win against Mamaroneck will send the Garnets into their showdown against the Huskies with some much-needed momentum. “It’s always a big game against Harrison, those are the most fun two games of the season,” he said. “Everyone’s into it, everyone brings the most energy, and starting the week strong was really important for us.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
