Bronxville priest charged with sexual abuse Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, announced Thomas Kreiser, 53, most recently of Riverdale in the Bronx, was arraigned on a charge of Sexual Abuse in the first degree, a class D felony, for touching the intimate parts of a 10-year-old child. Kreiser surrendered to authorities on Dec. 18 this afternoon and was arraigned in Bronxville Village Court. Bail was set at $10,000 cash/$20,000 bond. He

is scheduled to be back in court Jan. 16, 2019. The charges allege, on Sept. 20, Kreiser engaged in touching a child on an intimate part of her body while in a school building in Bronxville during the school day. The 10-year-old victim was fully clothed. At the time, Kreiser was employed as a Roman Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of New York and was stationed at St. Joseph’s Parish, which includes a

church and elementary school. As part of his duties, Kreiser was visiting the school at the time of the alleged abuse. The Archdiocese since removed Kreiser from the parish. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Mary Clark DiRusso, Deputy Bureau Chief of the Domestic Violence Bureau, and Janelle Armentano, both of the Special Prosecutions Division.

Westchester County has been awarded nearly $800,000 in grants from the New York State Regional Economic Development Council. The grants will go toward three projects: restoration of the Playland Carousel, Updating the Bronx River Watershed Management Plan and the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Development Board. “This is a good day for Westchester residents as the county has received money from New York State to work on three very important projects,” County Executive George Latimer said. “I want to thank Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council for being so generous with Westchester County and recognizing the importance of our historic buildings, environment and workforce.” The county was awarded $450,000 for the Playland Carousel Restoration. The county will reconstruct the fire damaged 1928 Carousel building at the National Historic Landmark Playland Park. The unique octagonal building with a lamella roof houses the treasured 1915 Grand Carousel, only one of four in existence featuring hand-carved horses and chariots by famed carousel maker Charles Carmel. Fire broke out in the building in the summer of 2017, the Carousel has been

closed to the public since. “Playland Carousel has been closed for far too long, the damage was devastating. But, now I am thrilled that the Carousel will once again be an essential part of summer in Westchester County,” said Latimer. For the update to the Bronx River Watershed Management Plan, the county was awarded $245,428 for work in partnership with the Bronx River Watershed Alliance. The dollars will be used to undertake a collaborative, multi-jurisdictional planning process to update the Bronx River Inter-municipal Watershed Plan incorporating a climate resilience strategy. The updated plan will identify critical management strategies and recommendations that will lead to a healthier and more resilient watershed for residents and wildlife. Additionally, $100,000 has been awarded to the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Development Board for “Westchesters Promise.” The project will provide training to individuals seeking employment as Medical Administrative Assistances, Phlebotomy Technicians, and Electrocardiography Technicians. The program will go a long way toward closing the skills gap in the healthcare field, something long focused on in the county. (Submitted)

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.

Ileen Gottesfeld Discussion: The Consequence of Decision 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

through acts of kindness

Kindergarten- through fifth-grade students at Daniel Warren Elementary School and F.E. Bellows Elementary School are spreading kindness and peace throughout their schools. They’ve been building a “tree of peace” and “tree of kindness” to encourage their peers and teachers to continue to be kind to each other. “Each day the tree becomes larger and increasingly colorful with individual messages of kindness, kind words and inspirational quotes to remind all who enter the building that kindness matters,” said art teacher Dara Goodman, who spearheaded the project. The “tree of peace” at Daniel Warren is located in the entranceway of the building, while the “tree of kindness” at F.E. Bellows is located near the main office. (Submitted)

Westchester offers certificates to reduce tuition costs County warns of ‘porch pirates’ during holiday season

Westchester residents can reduce their cost of tuition at community colleges outside of the county by obtaining Certificates of Residence, which qualify students for residential rates at two-year SUNY and CUNY colleges.

Westchester residents can reduce their cost of tuition at community colleges outside of the county. Certificates of Residence, which can be obtained from the Department of Finance, qualify students for residential rates at two-year SUNY and CUNY colleges. So far, 1,742 certificates have been issued in 2018. That number is expected to be closer to 2,000 as students begin to submit applications for the spring 2019 semester. Commissioner of Finance Ann Marie Berg said the department

has seen an increase in the number of applications over the last few years. “With online classes it’s even more popular because people can easily take classes outside of the county,” Berg said. Students have a 90-day window, 60 days before and 30 days after the start of the semester, to apply for a certificate and send it to their schools. Each certificate is valid for one year and one school. If students take classes at more than one school they must apply for multiple certificates.

“There is no cost involved to get the certificate,” Berg added. “If you meet the resident requirement for Westchester and New York State and are attending a community college outside of Westchester County you’ll get the financial benefit.” Students who have lived in Westchester for six months, and New York State for one year, qualify for the program. Applications can be found on the Department of Finance’s website and must be submitted by mail. (Submitted)

The Westchester County Department of Consumer Protection is warning residents to protect themselves from Grinch-like criminals who are stealing packages from front porches this holiday season.

The Westchester County Department of Consumer Protection is warning residents to protect themselves from Grinchlike criminals who are stealing packages from front porches this holiday season. “As more and more holiday shopping is done online, this is a problem that is continuing to grow,” County Executive George Latimer said. “This holiday season, take steps to protect yourself by keeping up with the best shipping options offered online and—if you can—take precautionary measures to ensure that your packages reach their intended destination.” Consumer protection advocates strongly recommend

that you take actions to protect yourself. Some homeowners are installing cameras to catch possible thieves in the act, but while that may be helpful to law enforcement, your package may already be stolen and it is sometimes difficult to catch the culprit. Tracking package deliveries though USPS, FedEx, UPS or whichever shipping provider is being used is also a smart idea to let you know when packages will arrive. Consumer Protection Director Jim Maisano said: “Many alternative shipping options exist to combat this problem, including delivering packages to a friendly neighbor who is home all the time or directly to a

nearby FedEx or UPS store, and stopping by to pick up packages there,” Jim Maisano, director of the Department of Consumer Protection said.Other options include “Amazon Locker”—all that is needed is to visit a local Amazon Locker location, enter the code provided and there is your package. Amazon is also offering services like “Amazon Key” where, if you have electronic car locks, your package will be delivered to your car in your driveway and locked up for its safe delivery. No matter what way you choose to receive any expected packages this year, be sure to be aware of the growing “porch pirate” trend. (Submitted)

County executive addresses Local Summit

By LINNET TSE At the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Local Summit’s Dec. 11 breakfast program, Westchester County Executive George Latimer shared highlights of his first year in office and discussed key initiatives that are underway. Addressing a packed audience, Latimer said the two areas he focused on in 2018 were: 1) stabilization of county finances; and 2) “turning the direction of this county’s philosophy back to what I consider to be mainstream Westchester.” Addressing the latter point, Latimer cited examples including banning the gun show from the Westchester County Center, legislative approval of the “Ban the Box” measure to assist ex-offenders find employment, and raising the legal age to purchase tobacco or vaping products from 18 to 21. After seven years without a tax increase, during which time the county workforce was reduced by roughly 20 percent, or 1,000 positions, Latimer says he is working hard to get the county back on track. In 2018, all open union contracts were finally negotiated, approved and signed. The resulting $1.9 million budget for 2019, which was just approved by the Board of Legislators, includes a 2 percent tax increase. Latimer pointed out that the 2 percent increase is below the tax levy cap and lower than increases in Putnam and Rockland counties. To balance the 2019 budget, Latimer has included $22 million of revenues from a somewhat controversial proposal to sell the County Center’s 14-acre parking lot to the Westchester County Local Development Corp., LDC. Although the property has been used solely as a parking lot for five or six decades, it is designated as parkland, and would require New York State approval to sell it. One negative impact of the flat taxes has been insufficient funds to maintain the county’s aging roads and bridges. Latimer cited the Bronx River Parkway as being in critical need of rebuilding. Lacking sufficient funds to tackle the whole project at once, Latimer said that the work will have to be done piecemeal over

a number of years. Asked if there was a way to reduce taxes, Latimer bluntly said “No,” not without cutting services. Latimer reminded the audience that the county is responsible for providing regional services across an area that includes 45 municipalities, covering necessary services that are mostly mandated and are not provided by either New York State or the local municipalities. County services include sewage treatment, running the county jail and probation department, the B-Line bus, the county health department, and social services to the needed. Latimer shared updates on other key projects: Westchester County Airport: asked about plans to privatize the airport, Latimer pointed out that the airport is already privatized in that the county has a contract with a private company—AvPORTS—to run the airport. Latimer believes it is critical for the county to maintain control over the airport. Playland: the county is in dialogue with Standard Amusements regarding their contract to take over Playland in November 2019. Latimer indicated the county would like to renegotiate the contract, to ensure that it is in the best interest of county residents. Latimer believes that Playland can be profitable if properly managed and marketed. North 60 bio-tech campus: approved by the Board of Legislators in 2017, delays have sparked concern about the status of this $1.2 billion project, which is anticipated to add jobs and tax revenues. Originally the plans included bio-tech research space, retail space, and a hotel, but the developer—Fareri—has added housing to the project. With this scope change, Latimer explained that a market study is underway to confirm that there is sufficient demand for the amount of development proposed. Provided that the market study supports the development plans, Latimer anticipates that the project will be able to move ahead. Turning to human rights issues, Latimer said that one of the items that the county Human Rights Commission is addressing

is how to deal with an explosion of hate crimes. “Hate has no home here. That’s our policy.” In 2018, the county Board of Legislators also passed the “Immigration Protection Act.” The bill limits information the County will share with federal immigration authorities and bars County employees from asking about a person’s citizenship in most situations. Latimer clarified that it does not provide ultimate sanctuary as it does not override the federal government acting with proper judicial warrants. To stay abreast of county news, residents are encouraged to sign up for the “My Westchester” newsletter, which can be done via the county website at westchestergov.com/contact-us/subscribe Visit LMC-TV.org to see a rebroadcast of the Dec. 11 Local Summit program. This breakfast forum was hosted by The Larchmont-Mamaroneck Local Summit. Its next program will be Tuesday, Jan. 15, 7:45 a.m. at the Nautilus Diner in Mamaroneck. Our program will address local environmental initiatives. All are welcome. Breakfast $8. (Submitted)

Some food for thought LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

I’ve never been the cleanest person; one look at my desk at work could tell you as much. But even if I may occasionally let my housework duties fall by the wayside, there are some areas in my life in which filth is simply not acceptable. Last week, ESPN’s “Outside the Lines” released a report detailing the numerous health code violations found in 111 professional sports arenas across the U.S., and the results were chilling, to say the least. From unsanitary working conditions to improper storage of food, nearly a quarter of venues across the country investigated in 2016-2017 had been cited for violations, with most places—including Yankee Stadium, which [top of the list being worst or best?]]received abysmal grades—being repeat violators.

The particulars of the infractions ranged from the benign to the outright unfathomable, but I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. With multiple outlets handling thousands of clients per event, it’s only natural that some standards of cleanliness fall through the cracks. And as someone who has been going to games for decades, I’ve always appreciated the stadiums and arenas that had a little bit of edge to them. For example, I’d take old Yankee Stadium, the one that reeked of stale beer—and other things—over the seemingly sterile shopping mall the Yankees play in now any day of the week. But the House that George Built isn’t quite as sterile as it seems, apparently. Aside from the fears of food poisoning that many squeamish eaters probably got from the “Outside The Lines” report, these findings also infuriated me from another standpoint. With the prices that fans pay for concessions at these venues, shouldn’t

we expect a little more? I don’t ask for every restaurant I eat in to be the Four Seasons. Heck, I’m always happy to plunk down a few bucks for a hamburger at an unsavory-looking holein-the-wall joint. But going to these places, the patron always assumes some level of risk. You may not know what you’re getting, like E Coli, but you know what you’re paying for. Contrast that, however, with the exorbitant prices of an average stadium hot-dog. If I am paying $28 for a frankfurter and a beer, I’d ask—at the very least—that the food not be stored in among a host of flies and other critters. Will these latest revelations inspire change in the way that stadium vendors handle their food? The cynic in me says probably not; completely overhauling some of the worst offender’s systems would be costly and could dig into the team’s bottom line. But will it make you think twice the next time you’re thinking about ordering a fish taco in

Yankee Stadium might seem like a sterile environment, but a recent report about stadium health code violations begs to differ. Sports Editor Mike Smith says it will be a long time before he eats in a sports venue again. Photo courtesy Wikipedia.org

Arrowhead Stadium? For your sake, I hope so. From now on, I think I’m

just going to start hiding turkey sandwiches in my pockets. It’s safer and more cost-effective.

Tigers end slide, top Titans ICE HOCKEY NON-LEAGUE

MAMARONECK 4 RTH 3 RYE PLAYLAND

12/17/18

Game Notes: C harlie Dente scored 2 goals in the 3rd period T he Tigers were able to break a 3-game losing streak R ye Town/Harrison will play in a tournament at Union College on 12/26

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Monday, Dec. 18, the Mamaroneck Tigers ended a threegame losing streak with a decisive victory over a surging Rye Town/ Harrison team, jumping out to an early first period lead that paved the way for a 4-3 win. For the perennial Division I contenders from Mamaroneck, the victory hopefully portends a two-month stretch that will see the Tigers shake off a tough start to establish themselves once again as one of the better teams in the section. Coming into Monday’s game, the Titans and Tigers seemed headed in opposite directions. Rye Town/Harrison entered the contest with a 5-3 record and riding a three-game win streak. Mamaroneck, on the other hand, carried a 1-4-1 record and hadn’t picked up a win in its last three games. But Jack Davilman got Mamaroneck on the board early, clearing out the middle and beating Titan goalie Nico Barry with a wrister to establish an early lead for the visitors. A few minutes later, Tommy Conley would strike again, giving the Tigers a 2-0 cushion heading into the first intermission. “It was obviously great for us to come out strong,” said Mamaroneck head coach Mike Chiapparelli. “We were playing physical, we were in good position but I think after that second goal, we got out of that.” Despite being outshot 12-4 in the first period, the Titans climbed back into the game after Davilman was sent off for a five-minute charging call that resulted in a lengthy power play for Rye Town/ Harrison. For the duration of the penalty, the Titans peppered Jack Fried with shots, one of which

got through to make it a one-goal game heading into the final stanza. “Jack made some terrific saves, and that was big because they scored right away on the power play,” said Chiapparelli. “After that, was able to turn the momentum of the game.” Fried would finish with 28 saves on the night, but it was Charlie Dente who emerged as the offensive star, scoring twice in the third period to put the game away for the Tigers and give them their first win in the month of December. “That first goal was big because it was on a power play and coming into the game we were 1-for-24 in those situations this year,” said the head coach. “I think using our third and fourth line to wear down their two lines helped us finish the game with more adrenaline.” The Titans (5-3) will look to bounce back after a nine-day layoff, heading up to play at a two-day tournament in Union College on Dec. 26. The Tigers (2-4-1) hope to close out 2018 on a positive note with a Dec. 19 game against Clarkstown South. On Jan. 4, the Tigers will play their first home game of the year when they host Carmel at the Hommocks Ice Rink. “We’ve played the last seven games on the road and we have had some trouble finishing,” said Chiapparelli. “It’s going to be nice to be on our home ice.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
