Westchester County passes paid sick time law By JAMES PERO Staff Writer Westchester lawmakers voted to pass a sick leave law that will afford county workers mandatory sick time on an hourly basis. According to the new law, public and private sector workers will earn one hour of sick time for every 30 hours a week, with a limit

of 40 hours total. The law will encompass businesses with five or more employees and will allow workers to use accrued sick time for scenarios outside of illnesses including personal events like doctors’ appointments or to take care of ill family members. “By passing this legislation we say loudly and proudly to workers everywhere in Westchester County: your health, your well-being, matters,” said county Legislator Catherine Borgia, a Peekskill Democrat. “The protections we’re enshrining into law today are good for public health, good for business, and essential to worker safety and dignity.” The measure passed 12-5 with the entire Republican caucus vot-
ing against the bill; Kitley Covill, a Bedford Democrat, also voted down the law. Advocates of the measure say by forcing workers to attend work while sick, it may decrease productivity through increasing the likelihood that illnesses are spread. According to a report from 2016 from the Institute of Women’s Policy Research, about 36 percent of county workers lack paid sick time, with many of them earning low wages and only working part-time—a subset of employees that may not have designated time off. Among those workers, 54 percent are of total service workers and 52 percent of total construction workers, respectively.
Detractors of paid sick time laws claim that requiring businesses to pay employees for time off would incur significant costs on their part, plus workers may take sick days off when they’re not actually sick. There is currently no statewide law mandating employers to provide workers paid sick leave though nearly a dozen other states across the country have passed laws to do so, including Connecticut and New Jersey; New Jersey’s law will go into effect this fall. The bill passed by the Westchester Legislature will affect more than 120,000 workers across the county. CONTACT: james@hometwn.com
Rob Yamuder, the village manager of Mamaroneck abruptly left his post last week in what appears to be a forced exit, the Review has learned. According to Mayor Tom Murphy, a Democrat, the village and Yamuder “mutually parted ways.” When asked to elaborate on whether the village manager left or was fired, Murphy said simply “read between the lines.” Neither village officials nor Board of Trustees members were able to offer any details on Yamuder’s termination. Meanwhile, Assistant Village Manager Dan Sarnoff will be acting as interim village manager while the search for a new chief of village operations continues. In a special meeting on Oct. 4, Board of Trustees members voted to hire a firm to assist them in a search and interview process for a new manager. Sarnoff also declined to comment on the nature of Yamuder’s exit. Yamuder, who previously
worked in the village of Pelham as an administrator and treasurer, was hired by Mamaroneck in April 2017 to take over the post as village manager due to the departure of then Village Manager Richard Slingerland who left that job to work as a village administrator for the village of Tarrytown. In a 2017 interview with the Review upon taking his new position as village manager, Yamuder said that his priorities would be code enforcement, safety and efficiency. Under Yamuder’s helm as manager the village has continued to undergo a holistic analysis of many of its zoning and development policies that include a revamp of its comprehensive plan, a reconfiguration of its Building Department and a moratorium on residential development that will last until March. Yamuder was earning an annual salary of $185,000. Democratic trustees Keith Waitt, Nora Lucas and Leon Potok could not be reached for comment as of press time. -Reporting by James Pero

Westchester to offer free flu vaccine clinics
The Westchester County Health Department plans to provide up to 1,700 flu vaccines this fall. It has focused its public vaccination efforts on people who lack the means to get vaccinated elsewhere by bringing flu shots to homeless shelters, soup kitchens and food pantries throughout Westchester.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer announced that the county Health Department will offer free flu vaccines for students of any college on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at Westchester Community College and for residents age 3 and up at the County Clinic in White Plains on Tuesday, Oct. 30. “Don’t put off your flu shot any longer—make an appointment for one today,” Latimer said. “Flu can be miserable, and this vaccine will help keep you and your family healthy well into 2019.” While the clinics are open to all, they are intended for people without insurance or whose insurance doesn’t cover vaccines. Register online for these flu vaccine clinics at health.ny.gov/ gotoclinic/60. Flu shots are also available for a fee from many area pharmacists and medical offices. The county Health Department plans to provide up to 1,700 flu vaccines this fall. It has focused
its public vaccination efforts on people who lack the means to get vaccinated elsewhere by bringing flu shots to homeless shelters, soup kitchens and food pantries throughout Westchester. “Everyone six months and older should get an annual flu shot,” said Dr. Sherlita Amler, the county health commissioner. “Flu can make otherwise healthy adults and children very ill and it can be deadly. When healthier people get an annual flu shot, they help protect the people around them, including infants too young to be vaccinated, seniors and people with chronic health conditions, who are more vulnerable to flu complications.” Flu activity is usually highest between December and February, but can last into May. One flu vaccine now provides protection all season long and can prevent illness or reduce the severity of flu symptoms. The vaccine becomes fully effective after
Appointments are available as follows: College students Oct. 23 at the Westchester Community College Student Center 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Residents age 3 and up Oct. 30 at the County Clinic, 134 Court St., White Plains 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. about two weeks. Amler said that anyone who does get a respiratory infection should cough or sneeze into their elbow, wash their hands frequently with soap and water, stay home until 24 hours after their fever subsides to avoid spreading germs, clean surfaces they touch frequently, such as doorknobs, water faucets, refrigerator handles and telephones, and get plenty of rest.

What’s going on... Larchmont Public Library
Frank Discussions with Frank Connelly Nov. 7: Title to be selected by group
Literary Bites: A Cookbook Exploration
For more information on hours and programs, visit larchmontlibrary.org.
Fall discussion roundup One of the best things that a public library can offer to its community is a wide variety of opportunities for those in the community to get together and talk about the books that they’ve read. Book discussion groups run the gamut and there is literally a discussion group for every taste in reading. Discussion groups are great places for friends old and new to gather. Library book discussion groups expand on the concept by meeting in a place known for housing literature and are led by a librarian who is trained in exploring all things literary. This fall, the Larchmont Public Library is offering a bumper crop of book discussion groups and extends an invitation to you, the community, to come get involved. Here’s an overview of the discussion groups available:
Monday, Oct. 15 from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Food brings the global family together. Literary Bites invites the community to join in an exploration of food in every form, in every cuisine, in an environment that encourages sharing recipes, prepared dishes and culinary experiences. Members can choose to share a dish they’ve prepared using a recipe from a cookbook the group is focusing on. This inaugural meeting will focus on “My Kitchen Year” by Ruth Reichel, former editor of Gourmet Magazine.
Stranger Than Fiction with Liam Hegarty Thursday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. The Stranger Than Fiction group led by librarian Liam Hegarty, focuses on Non-Fiction, from biography to history and current events. For the November meeting, the group will read and discuss “The Soul of An Octopus: A Joyful Exploration Into the Wonder of Consciousness” by Sy Montgomery.
Short and Sweet with Alex Gaete Thursday, Oct. 11, Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. If you feel like completing a 500-page book is a bit taxing, especially when you only have a few weeks to finish it, this is the group for you. The rules for Short and Sweet are simple—we will never assign any book to read that exceeds 250 pages. Join librarian Alex Gaete for a discussion of “The Year of Living Magically” by Joan Didion. There will
be sweets. Short and Sweet continues in November and December.
Ileen Gottesfeld Discussion: The Consequence of Decision Oct. 10, Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. Join retired schoolteacher Ileen Gotteseld, for this series discussing themes from the following books. Oct. 10: “A History of Loneliness” by John Boyne Oct. 31: “Terrorist” by John Updike If actually reading the books isn’t your thing, most all of the books selected are available in digital formats so you can listen to them in the car or on your mobile device. All of the discussion groups offered at the library are free and no registration is required. Books are made available three weeks prior to each discussion. Because discussion groups meet at regular intervals, it is advised to visit the library’s website for specific dates and times. Visit the library’s website at larchmontlibrary.org/adultprograms.
Sound Shore Market of Larchmont Did you know that there is a new mid-week community farmer’s market in Larchmont? It takes place in beautiful Kane Park located on Post Road (between Kane and Beach avenues) every Wednesday.
The market is intended to be a destination for Larchmont and Sound Shore families to shop, dine and have fun while enhancing Larchmont’s image as an attractive, vibrant, shopping, family friendly village. Prepared foods, such as BBQ pork sandwiches, fresh salads and Greek specialties, and provision foods, such as produce, fresh fish and breads, will be offered with rotating vendors. In addition, each week there is live music and activities from Larchmont businesses to create an engaging and enjoyable atmosphere. Founder and Larchmont resident Drew George enlisted the help of The Valley Area Network, a non-profit organization that also runs Piermont’s popular “SOUK” market to operate the Sound Shore Market. The market takes place every Wednesday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. through Oct 31. (Note that the market will end at 6 p.m. beginning in September). Parking is easy and ample... Just pull right up to the park either on Post Road or Kane Avenue.
Deadline for our What’s Going On section is every Thursday at noon. Though space is not guaranteed, we will do our best to accommodate your listing. Please send all items to news@hometwn.com.

Rye Neck students spread kindness with paintings Sixth-graders at Rye Neck Middle School are spreading kindness, peace and positive messages throughout their school, thanks to an art project they recently completed in teacher Trisha Appel’s art classes. Inspired by Pablo Picasso, one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, and his famous antiwar painting called “Guernica,” the students created their own original paintings that incor-
porated the international symbol of peace—a white dove—at the center of their work. “The students used the dove as a means to carry their message throughout their work,” Appel said. “Many expressed how their doves were being used to show a positive message and bring that message to others as they view their work.” Using pencils and paper, the students first sketched out

their ideas before painting their compositions with watercolor paints. Then, they painted their dove white with tempera paint to make it stand out, and later outlined it in black oil pastels or black pencils to either smooth out the edges for a softer look or create a crispier edge. They also incorporated different words of encouragement, scenes of nature, landscapes, people and city skylines to help express their messages of peace, kindness and positivity. As a final step to the project, the young artists added borders to their finished works and reflected on the experience. “In my project, the dove is rising with the sun—with the rays of different words that describe peace, such as hope, love, peace, joy, life, grace, unity, pride,” said sixth-grader Samina Quli, who added that her dove is rising to bring hope to a new day. “When people look at my painting, I hope they feel a bit happier. In darkness, you can always find a speck of light.” The students’ work also directly aligns with the No Place for Hate program at Rye Neck Middle School, which was

spearheaded by sixth-grade guidance counselor Meegan Lawlor as a way to promote kindness within the school community. “The peace dove art project will be used as a visual means for all students to remember to be kind and to stand up for what is right in order to make our
school a safe and fun place to be for everyone,” Appel said. “The students liked the idea of being able to brighten up the halls of the middle school with positive messages expressed through their own works of art.” As sixth-graders work on this project each trimester, their
paintings will decorate the middle school halls with messages about peace and kindness throughout the year. In addition, several paintings will be chosen to be displayed at an upcoming exhibit at the Mamaroneck Library, to be held in December. (Submitted)

Latimer hosts chambers of commerce summit For the first time ever, Westchester, through County Executive George Latimer, brought together business owners, Chambers of Commerce and local lead-
ers from across the county for a conversation on how to find common solutions to common challenges. More than 160 people from all over Westchester,
including all types of businesses, non-profit organizations and representatives from 25 different chambers and business groups gathered at the Little Theater in
the County Center for this hybrid informational and networking event. “I’ve always thought, and I think attendance at this event proves it, that the best effort we can do is put people with like minds and like interests in the
same room together, let them meet each other, network together, share information together and out of that will come new and vibrant ideas that each of us can use individually,” Latimer said. Prior to the event, a survey was sent out to all the local chambers

to share with their members so that the county executive and the Office for Economic Development could learn more about the concerns and challenges facing small business owners in Westchester. The Oct. 10 event included presentations and discussions, some based on those results, with Bridget Gibbons, county director of economic development, Ray Salaberrios, senior business development director for small business from Empire State Development and Shari Rosen Ascher, assistant to the county executive, who organized the event, to help attendees learn about resources and incentives available from the county and state. Also included in the event was a “speed networking” segment, which tasked attendees with stepping out of their comfort zone, switching tables at the sound of a whistle and finding new people to chat with. “At the county’s Office of Economic Development, we really want to listen to local businesses and hear what they have to say— and find out how the county can help,” Gibbons said. “Small businesses are the engine of Westchester’s economy and we must embrace them for us to succeed.” (Submitted)

Everything old is new LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
To all our Yankee fan readers, I’m not here to gloat; well, maybe I am. Just a little, anyway. On Tuesday night, my beloved Red Sox ended the Yankees’ season, holding on in a wild finish to take Game 4 of the American League Division Series and move on to the ALCS where they will tangle with the reigning World Series Champion Astros. It’s been a rough 24 hours for Yankee fans, for sure, and I’m not here to make things worse. But there was one thing that struck me this morning as I gleefully tuned into sports talk radio to listen to depressed fanatics call for the firing of manager Aaron Boone and lament the trade for high-priced slugger Giancarlo Stanton; sometimes, these newaged analytics will let you down. Of course, we can kill Boone for sticking with Sabathia and Severino too long, and sure, Stanton missed out on a chance
to have his bonafide Yankee moment and put together a dreadful ALDS. But the problems with this Yankee team ran much deeper than that; it all starts with the way the team was constructed. Over the last few years, front offices around baseball have begun building teams according to a new formula. Starting pitching, speed and defense were out. What mattered most was having a club full of sluggers who could hit the longball and a deep, hard-throwing bullpen that could shorten games to an almost comical degree. Yankees GM Brian Cashman sure bought in, putting together a 2018 team that was predicated entirely on the ability to hit for power and turn close games over to a group of talented relievers. And despite leading to a campaign in which the Yankees won 100 regular season games, somehow, it backfired in the end. The Red Sox—while not devoid of power by any stretch of the imagination—were a much different club. Sure, they could hit, but they could also run. Manager Alex Cora was never hesitant
to lay down a bunt or call for a steal—two things that today’s analytics-driven baseball people claim are counter-productive. And they proved why oldschool baseball can still work against the Yanks. They took the extra base when they could, they relied on solid efforts by their starting pitchers in the three games they took from the Bombers. And, evidenced by their 16run outburst in Game 3, they proved that you didn’t need to hit the ball over the fence in order to score runs. The Sox are not a perfect team, not by a long shot. Their bullpen is still shaky and their No. 2 starter, David Price, is as unreliable as they come. But they proved against the Yankees that they have the aptitude to do the little things to win ballgames—things that have been devalued in today’s game. Remember that, as you clamor for the Yanks to sign Manny Machado or Bryce Harper to expensive multi-year deals this off-season. It’s a revolutionary (old) idea, but even teams with immense star power need a cou-

ple of role-players too. There’s no actual blueprint to winning games, but the Red Sox and the Astros have seemed to figure it out, at least for now.
In the meantime, I guess you can just sit back, watch the rest of the MLB playoffs in peace, and angrily call WFAN to start spreading the blues.
Sorry, I just couldn’t help myself.

MAMARONECK 3 SCARSDALE 0 MAMARONECK HS
10/3/18
Game Notes: • Elizabeth Brissette, Sophie Kerstholt & Brigid Knowles all scored • The Tigers did not allow a shot on goal • The Tigers are 9-2-1 as of press time By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Sometimes, a convincing win can be the start of something bigger. On Wednesday, Oct. 3, the Mamaroneck field hockey team enjoyed a 3-0 romp over rival Scarsdale that has kick-started a surge as the Tigers look toward the playoffs. If Mamaroneck can continue to build on its solid play against the Raiders, head coach John Savage believes that the reigning Class A champs could once again be a team to fear as the postsea-
son rolls around. Sophia Kerstholt, Brigid Knowles and Elizabeth Brissette all scored for Mamaroneck, as the Tigers clamped down on the Raiders attack, not allowing a single shot on net. According to Savage, while matchups between Scarsdale and Mamaroneck always have their fair share of drama, the Tigers’ win had added importance due to the fact that both squads came into the meeting ranked among the Top-5 teams in Section I. “It’s hard to describe, but there’s always something special when we play Scarsdale, no matter what either team’s record it,” he said. “But our kids did a great job against them; 3-0 is a good score, and to not allow a shot on goal, that says something.” In fact, Savage credits the Scarsdale game with helping Mamaroneck (9-2-1) overcome something of a midseason slump and find another gear in the last week of the season. Following that win, the Tigers would go on to beat both Arlington and Rye by a combined score of 19-1. “I think we’ve done a good job of getting into a groove after the
Scarsdale game,” the head coach said. “For a lot of the season, we were waiting for our players to play up to their potential, which they have started to do.” One of the most drastic improvements the Tigers have made over the last week has been their ability to convert on penalty corners. After sliding Alex Lepore into the backline and reconfiguring his players around the circle, Savage has been pleased with the way the team has responded. “For a while this season, we were getting 12-20 chances and maybe getting one goal a game, and you aren’t going to win games like that,” he said. “So we switched some people around, Alex Lepore is doing a great job keeping the ball on the turf and we have been getting a lot of direct shots.” The Tigers have just three more games left in the regular season, which will wrap up on Oct. 17 when they travel to White Plains. The Class A seeding meeting is scheduled for Oct. 18 and the playoffs are slated to start the following day.
