County BOL bans asking about prior salary A new bill passed by the Westchester County Board of Legislators this week will make it illegal for employers to inquire about applicants’ previous pay during the hiring process. The Anti-Wage Discrimination Act, which was passed unanimously by lawmakers on April 10, will go before County Executive George Latimer, a Democrat, who was expected to sign it into law on Tuesday afternoon. “This is a crucial step in combatting women’s pay inequality, but it also removes a barrier of discrimination—whether intentional or unintentional—that will help all job seekers, including older workers or workers who are making career transitions, or those returning to work
after raising children, and it will do so at no cost to businesses,” Board of Legislators Chairman Ben Boykin, a Democrat, said in a statement. Lawmakers hope that barring employers from asking about prior salary history will translate into higher wages for employees and greater upward mobility for lower wage workers transitioning into new roles. Among the prospective benefactors, according to the board, will be women workers who often earn a lower salary than their male counterparts. According to a recently released Pew Research analysis, women earned just 82 percent of what men earned annually nationally in 2017, marking

a continued 15-year stasis in the gender pay disparity. An additional study by employer review and job search site Glassdoor from 2016 also shows that the pay gap is compounded by a disparity in successful salary negotiations between men and women. According to the study, men were more than three times
more likely to successfully negotiate a pay raise. The bill, which will go into effect three months after being signed into law, is based off of a piece of New York state legislation that never made it out of the Legislature after the Senate failed to bring it to a vote. -Reporting by James Pero

With an executive order signed last week, job applicants applying for positions in Westchester County government will no longer be required to preemptively disclose their criminal background on job forms. County Executive George Latimer, a Democrat, signed the order to “ban the box” on April 7, moving forward a nearly twoyear-old discussion by the county Board of Legislators. “No longer will applicants be automatically eliminated by dint of their past record—if their application warrants an interview, past details can be covered alongside evaluating all the pluses and minuses of an employment candidate,” Latimer said in a Facebook post. Westchester will join nearly 150 cities and counties nationwide, including New York City and Yonkers, who have both abolished the practice of inquiring about criminal history on job forms. While a similarly proposed piece of legislation pushed by county Democrats in 2016 would have also applied the ban to private businesses as well as county employment, that initiative never made its way out of committee
and to the full Board of Legislators for a vote. Advocates for banning the box argue that questions regarding criminal history unfairly discriminate against employees. New York state law forbids all employers from discriminating against job applicants based on their criminal history unless the crime has a direct relationship to the intended position. Under the executive order, employers will still be able to conduct background checks and criminal history reports after the initial application process. Advocates hope that the move will level the playing field by getting applicants with criminal backgrounds a chance to interview before being removed from consideration. Earlier this year an executive order to ban gun shows on county property signed by Latimer was signed into law by legislators. While had repeatedly attempted to ban the shows under the administration of Rob Astorino, a Republican, the move was ultimately vetoed. Democrats now hold a 12-seat supermajority over Republicans. -Reporting by James Pero

Latimer adds ex-campaign manager to staff County Executive George Latimer, a Democrat, has hired his former campaign manager and prior chief of staff to work as an aide in the county administration. Vic Mallison, who served as Latimer’s campaign manager during his 2017 bid for county executive against former County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican, will be paid $122,985 per year to work as an aide to the county executive. According to his LinkedIn.com
profile, Mallison has served as Latimer’s campaign manager for a number of his election bids since 2012. Prior to Latimer becoming county executive, the aide served as his chief of staff when he held the position of senator in New York’s 37th Senate District. Mallison served in that capacity since 2013. He officially began working as an assistant to the county execu-
tive in January, after Latimer successfully defeated Astorino, the two-term county executive. Mallison also manages to split his time between Westchester County and Albany, where he lobbies state politicians for the county’s benefit. Catherine Cioffi, Latimer’s communications director, could not be reached for comment, as of press time. -Reporting by Franco Fino

‘Sister Act’
“Sister Act,” based on the Touchstone Motion Picture, tells the hilarious story of Deloris Van Cartier, a disco diva, whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she won’t be found—a convent. Disguised as a nun and under the suspicious watch of the
Mother Superior, Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. This is a sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, sisterhood and music. Featuring original music by Tony and eight-time Oscar winner Alan Menken (Disney’s “Aladdin” and “Beauty and The Beast,”
“Newsies,” and “Enchanted”), dazzling dance routines and songs inspired by Motown, soul, and disco, “Sister Act” is the funniest and funkiest musical around.

Airbnb begins to have impact on housing market As tourism in the Hudson Valley continues to grow, the popularity of short-term rental programs like Airbnb is beginning to have a positive impact on the real estate market. “For the first few years, we felt that Airbnbs were working
against us because people had the attitude of why should we buy when we can rent a home that suits our immediate needs,” said Katherine Jennings, who manages Houlihan Lawrence’s Millbrook office in Dutchess County.
Yet it seems being able to test the waters without commitment has helped these renters become better familiarized with the area’s communities, ultimately leading them to more comfortably consider a second-home purchase. And many buyers

are in turn listing them, in part or whole, back on platforms like Airbnb. “They have gotten tired of moving their skis and their
children’s toys from house to house,” said Jennings, who oversees 35 agents who cover Dutchess, Columbia, Ulster and Greene counties in New York and Litchfield County, Connecticut. “Plus they know what kinds of properties will work on Airbnb.” Listings with standalone guesthouses, as well as a main house for the owners, have become extremely popular. The new tax code enacted by Congress late last year, which severely limits the amount of deductible state and local taxes, is also having an effect. “Some of our buyers are telling us that their accountants are advising them that if they own a second home as an LLC then they can write off some of the expenses of owning the house against the Airbnb income they get from it,” Jennings said. In general, nightly rates for Hudson Valley Airbnbs range from $200 to $400 for a house, she said. Popular communities include Hudson, Rhinebeck, Amenia, Millbrook, Millerton, Chatham, Woodstock, Saugerties and New Paltz. “Essentially, it starts at Millbrook and goes north.” In the Columbia County city of Hudson, nightly rates
for in-town apartments range from $150 to $300, said Annabel Taylor, a Houlihan Lawrence agent based in Millbrook who owns two Airbnb rentals in Hudson with her husband, Zach Hill. “It’s been successful beyond our wildest dreams,” she said, generating about $10,000 a month in the summer. “Almost all of my clients keep Airbnb in mind when purchasing property,” Taylor said. “It’s always a factor when figuring out their monthly carrying costs.” This is especially true for her Brooklyn clients looking to buy a second home in the Hudson Valley. “They can’t afford to buy in Brooklyn so essentially they are buying their second home first.” Renters are predominantly from New York City, but owners can count on a steady stream of tourists from around the country and around the world, Jennings said. The prime season runs from Memorial Day through Columbus Day. “I’ve been surprised at how busy I’ve been in the off-season,” Jennings said. “I would say I have it booked for half of the off-season weekends.” (Submitted)

An Amazin’ start LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
On Tuesday, April 10, the Red Sox and Yankees kicked off their season series with a tilt at Fenway Park. The stage was set for a classic; two bitter rivals looking to assert their dominance in the AL East, two lineups chockfull of young stars, and two dominant pitchers in Severino and Sale. And wouldn’t you know it, I ended up watching the Mets instead. As Boston continued to pile on the runs against the seemingly hapless Yanks on ESPN, I was glued to SNY, as the surprising Metropolitans demonstrated their grit yet again, rallying back twice against the Marlins to top the fish 8-6 and get off to a 9-1 start—the best in franchise history. It’s not just that the Mets are winning—cause for celebration enough—it’s how they’re doing it. On Tuesday, the Mets surged back from two runs down in both the sixth and the eighth innings—
the latter comeback cemented by a dramatic bomb from Asdrubal Cabrera, before winning the game an inning later on a double by slumping slugger Yoenis Cespedes. These are the kind of wins—like many the Mets have had in their terrific start—that make you wonder if this team is ever going to lose again. Which, of course they will. Unlikely as it may seem right now, the Mets are not going to go 161-1 this season. Like every team, they’re going to go through droughts, they’re going to battle injuries to key players, and they’re going to have stretches where nothing goes right. And Mets’ fans, more prone to fatalism and pessimism than their counterparts who root for the Yankees, have an underlying sense of dread as they wait for things to return to normal. But that’s why fans have to enjoy the times like this. Right now, first-year Mets’ manager Mickey Callaway looks like the second coming of Bobby Cox. The starters are throwing well, the bullpen—even Hansel freakin’
SPORTS
Robles—has been incredible, and basically, this team just looks like it’s having a ton of fun playing together. The baseball season is such a long slog that it’s important to invest heavily in the moments when things are going right. A team can absolutely energize a fan-base or a city with a few weeks of inspired play. I’ve seen that play out on sports talk radio, on social media and even in text conversations with my father, who admitted that Cabrera’s eighth-inning homer against the Marlins prompted him to let out a holler that nearly gave my mother—who was doing work in another room—a heart attack. Who knows how long the Mets can keep up this torrid pace. Heck, it could all come crashing down tomorrow! And that’s why you have to enjoy it when you can. Because you never know when a streak like this is going to come around again.

April 13, 2018 • THE MAMARONECK REVIEW • 15
Tigers top unbeaten Arlington GIRLS LAX
non-league
MAMARONECK 17 ARLINTON 6 MAMARONECK HS
4/9/18
Game Notes: • Tyler Zidlicky led Mamaroneck with 5 goals • The Tigers had assists on 14 goals • Mamaroneck will play Scarsdale on Tuesday, April 17 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor In its first home game of the season on April 9, the Mamaroneck girls’ lacrosse team knocked off previously undefeated Arlington, topping the Admirals 17-6 thanks to a host of impressive performances on both sides of the ball. And although the season is still young—Monday’s game was just the Tigers’ second of the year—Mamaroneck’s hot start is starting to turn some heads around Section I. As her squad looks forward to a tough stretch of upcoming games, Tigers’ head coach Rocky Lividini is hoping that the hot start has helped the team build some momentum for the road ahead. Tyler Zidlicky led Mamaroneck with five goals, but six
other Tigers found the net for the second straight game, as the Tigers’ balanced offense continues to fire on all cylinders early in the season. According to Lividini, the scoring sheet, combined with the fact that 14 of the Tigers’ 17 goals came off assists on Monday, prove that the Tigers are playing unselfish lacrosse. “Having 14 assists and seven different people score goals, it shows that we’re a team,” Lividini said. “We kept a smaller roster for a reason, we knew everyone could play and that everyone could contribute.” Those contributions aren’t limited to the offensive end, either. Junior goalie Chloe Stafford— who started the Tigers’ two games this year but is slated to split time with classmate Mackenzie Lynch—had another strong game, making nine stops against a talented Admirals’ attack. Lividini said that Stafford and Lynch’s play in goal helps to instill confidence in the Tiger defenders. “We’ve got two goalies and Chloe played the last two games because she’s been doing so well,” she said. “But they both make me feel very confident in what we have and the defense is really playing well.” As the schedule begins to heat up in the next few weeks, Lividini hopes that the team’s early play is a sign of things to come.
The Tigers will take on league foe White Plains on April 11, after press time, before gearing up for showdowns with tough teams in Yorktown and Scarsdale. “They’ve been getting better and they show that they have the ability to adjust in-game,” the coach said. “Obviously we’re going to have our ups-and-downs, but we just need to make sure we stay consistent; playing the full 50 minutes instead of 10-minute stretches. We know there are no easy games, and we have to keep that mindset.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
