Standard delays Playland payment again By JAMES PERO Staff Writer With an appeal of a lawsuit over slated renovations at Playland Park looming large, new park manager Standard Amusements says it will again wait to issue its first contractual payment to Westchester County until litigation with the city of Rye is resolved. The extension, which was announced by Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino’s administration last week, will prolong the transfer of a $750,000 payment from Standard—half of a contractual $1.5 million payment initially due in June—until a “final determination is made with regards to litigation with the city of Rye.”
Last month a lawsuit filed by the city, which sought to declare itself lead agency on environmental review of capital projects at the park, was thrown out by a judge, and Rye has since filed a notice of appeal—the precursor to an official appeal—of the court’s decision. The city will have approximately five months to finalize an official appeal. Another $750,000 payment, according to a statement from the Astorino administration, will be made to the county following a Board of Legislators decision on $10 million in improvements for Playland’s pool, which has remained in limbo since last year. A contractual deadline on the pool’s fate is Dec. 31. But this week, tensions over
Playland’s pool escalated after representatives from Standard floated a plan to build a removable deck that would support a café or restaurant area over the rehabbed pool site; an option that drew concern from Democrats. “I don’t think anyone would have a problem with a more of a passive use,” said Legislator Catherine Parker, a Rye Democrat, of Playland’s pool location. “Unfortunately, something like a coffee shop or restaurant would create a lot of noise and trash.” In addition to Parker, Rye elected officials have also spoken out against the idea of adding a dining space, citing the potential to PLAYLAND continued on page 11

Astorino goes solo on Indian Point lawsuit By JAMES PERO Staff Writer County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican, will personally sue New York state after an initial lawsuit seeking to halt the eventual shutdown of Westchester’s Indian Point power plant was shot down by lawmakers this week. According to a release from the Astorino administration, a tandem of lawsuits—which name Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, Indian
Point operators Entergy, and the environmental group Hudson Riverkeeper—will seek to force the power plant’s shutdown to undergo an environmental review process, claiming that the decision is subject to the State Environmental Quality Review Act, SEQR. “When the Democrats on the Board of Legislators decided to abandon their responsibility of protecting our local communities, I decided to act on my own,” Astorino said in a statement. “If ever
there was a case for the State Environmental Quality Review Act to be enforced, this is it.” According to Board of Legislators spokesman Matt Richter, Philip Halpern, a New York City-based attorney retained by Astorino, has offered to represent the county executive in his suit, pro bono. With Astorino’s announcement of a new lawsuit, Democratic Majority Leader Catherine Borgia, of Peekskill, accused the county executive of stepping outside the

bounds of the Board of Legislators’ charter. “Any unilateral attempt to use outside counsel on behalf of the taxpayers is in violation of our county’s charter,” Borgia said. “The surrounding communities are better served by bringing all sides together to work on real economic and environmental mitigation solutions.” Both Astorino and local officials in the village of Buchanan, however, have protested the decommissioning of Indian Point, claiming that the loss of the plant would have drastic impacts on the local economy.
Currently, Buchanan receives $3 million in tax breaks as per a payment in lieu of taxes agreement, and Joseph Hochreiter, superintendent of the Hendrick Hudson school district, has said that the closure of the plant would negate a third of the district’s tax base, and has therefore halted intentions to move forward on a $14 million capital improvement project. According to a deal struck earlier this year, the plant’s operations will be phased out over a four-year period and its shutdown and subsequent impact on the regional economy and environment will be the subject of a governor’s task force consisting of both state and local lawmakers as well as various officials from Cuomo’s administration. An agreement between Cuomo and Entergy will punctuate years of negotiations and litigation between parties to shut the plant down, which in addition to being perched atop two fault lines, has been cited with 40 safety and operational “events”—hiccups in its internal operations—since 2012 alone. According to a release from the governor’s office this week, the Indian Point task force’s first meeting will be held on May 31 at 7 p.m. in Cortlandt Town Hall, located in the town of Cortlandt.

Though it was another cloudy weekend, about 300 people gathered at Harbor Park Island on May 7 for the 11th annual A Taste of Mamaroneck Wine Trail. Patrons started off at the registration tent at the entrance of the park, awaiting one of two trolleys that followed the trail. Once armed with a wristband, visitors then set off on foot or by the provided transportation to explore an array of local businesses and their fares. Patrons had four hours to check out the 16 stops along the trail, most of which were located on Mamaroneck Avenue. The event was sponsored by the Mamaroneck Chamber of Commerce. Susan C. Fuller, the chamber president, said that trail is a unique way to promote Mamaroneck’s dining scene. “That’s what the whole thing is: bringing people into the village,” she said. “We get people from the city, up-county, from all over, not just from Mamaroneck.” A new participant to the event this year was Molly Spillane’s bar and restaurant on Mamaroneck Avenue. The stops all provided some libations with small bites to eat. Some places, like Sedona Taphouse, Half Time and SmokeHouse, provided beer for those who were less inclined to sample wines. One village resident said that he and his wife had been to all of the wine trails, often inviting friends from out of town. “It is a fantastic event,” he said while noshing on pizza at Sedona. “You have a lot of fun and get to explore the food in Mamaroneck, especially when you’re not from here.” -Reporting by Sibylla Chipaziwa

Vacillating from discussions of how powerful prescription drugs like opioids affect one’s brain chemistry, to what new drugs are being introduced to teens in today’s market, Nerney gave the audience a nuanced perspective on what the scope of today’s opioid problem is. “The government is not going to save you from this,” he said at one point, breaking from a discussion over the FDA’s approval of a powerful painkiller, despite the overwhelming rejection by a panel of doctors. “We’re not going to arrest our way out of it. It’s our job to know what’s going on with our kids’ lives.” While the science of addiction dominat-
ed much of Nerney’s talk, at the core of successfully preventing teens from slipping into drug abuse, Nerney returned to one common theme; dialogue. In the midst of an explanation of how addicts might compensate for other anxieties in their lives—changing their brain chemistry in the process—Nerney said, “Our job is to not let that change get started in their brains. The best way we can do that is by helping them with their emotions… looking at why they’re struggling and when they’re struggling just say, ‘I’m right here.’” CONTACT: james@hometwn.com

After convention, Dems postpone county exec. nomination
By COREY STOCKTON Staff Writer As of press time, the Westchester County Democratic Party had yet to pick its nominee for county executive. But the feeling in the air
on Wednesday night signaled the likelihood of a September primary. The convention, which was held at the Westchester County Center on May 10, started off with a rash of excitement and a few hundred district leaders from throughout the county
on hand to select a slew of candidates for the November elections, but soon trailed into Thursday morning before party leaders opted to postpone final vote tallying. The key nomination was which Democrat, county Legislator Ken
Ken Jenkins had supporters from some of the county’s major cities on hand at the county Democratic convention. Photo/Jen Parente
Jenkins, of Yonkers, or state Sen. George Latimer, of Rye, would run against County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican, in the general election. Part of the delay was due to Jenkins’s team contesting several of the ballots being cast by local committees. As a result, the decision on the county executive nominee was expected to be announced on Friday, May 12, after press time, according to Reginald LaFayette, the county Democratic Party chairman. The convention at the County Center began at 7 p.m. But district leaders were engaged in a heated battle to nominate a candidate for family court justice from early in the evening until after midnight, delaying their decision on whether Jenkins or Latimer would get the party’s official backing. Although Democrats will wait until Friday, after press time, to decide who will receive the nomination, Wednesday evening’s atmosphere seemed to foreshadow a primary election in September as Latimer seemed to be the odds-on favorite heading into the convention. The candidates took to the stage at about 11 p.m. Latimer, 63, received a robust and sustained welcome from his supporters, whom he tried to rally with his speech.

“There is one single thing that unites all the Democrats in this room,” he said. “We are ready for change––dramatic, real change.” Latimer, who announced his candidacy in April, stressed the importance of a united party, comparing Democratic efforts in Republican strongholds to those in Democrat-heavy communities. “If you want to win this county, you’ve got to merge those two Westchesters,” he said. “You’ve got to run in Eastchester and you’ve got to run in Mount Vernon.” Jenkins, 55, also tried to engender Democratic voters, who outnumber Republicans by more than 2-to-1 in Westchester County, despite having handed the election to Astorino in 2009 and 2013. But Jenkins, who was the first candidate to announce his candidacy for county executive last August, looked beyond the convention in his speech, setting his sights on what seems like a primary election which would be open to all registered Democratic voters instead of only party leaders. “The voters are the party,” Jenkins said. “So in a race like this, we, as party insiders, must recognize the need for their involvement. That’s how we pick the strongest candidate to beat Rob Astorino.” Jenkins has maintained throughout his early campaign that he would not step down if he did not receive the party’s nomination. He had bowed out of the race for county executive after losing the party’s nomination to New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson in 2013; Bramson was handily defeated by Astorino that year. Latimer, meanwhile, has stated that he plans to honor the intentions of the Democratic committee, adding that if he does not receive the nomination, he will throw his full support and effort behind Jenkins. Both candidates ultimately took aim at Astorino, who has held the county’s top elected position since 2010. Jenkins highlighted his role in lowering taxes while he was chairman of the Board of Legislators, combatting Astorino’s reputation for not raising taxes during his tenure. Meanwhile, Latimer focused on his own reputation for winning elections in majority Republican districts, and doing so while financially short-handed, as he would be against Astorino, who had amassed more than $2.5 million in his campaign financing by January. More than 200 party leaders attended the convention, but began trailing out of the county center by midnight, before Reginald Lafayette, the county Democratic chairman, adjourned the session without a county executive nomination at 12:45 a.m. CONTACT: corey@hometwn.com

County lawmakers bans synthetic weed

With uncertainty over renewed litigation by the city of Rye and a Westchester County Board of Legislators decision on Playland Pool, the management company Standard Amusements will again delay its $1.5 million required payment to the county. File photo
exacerbate noise and traffic conditions for abutting Rye neighborhoods. Last year, the Board of Legislators voted to include $10 million in a 2017 list of capital projects that would go toward renovating an ailing Playland Pool. Playland pool, according to a 2007 report from the county’s parks department was, at one point, leaking as much as 35,000 gallons of water per day. Though both Standard and the administration had pushed for the complete removal of Playland’s pool last year, backlash from lawmakers and county residents, of which nearly 2,000 signed a petition last year in support of keeping the structure, temporarily prevented the pool’s demise. In the past, Standard’s payment to the county has become a matter of contention for some of the county’s Democratic lawmakers who have accused the investment firm of missing the payment entirely. Already, multiple extensions have been granted to Standard, which has continually pointed to the uncertain future of Playland’s pool and litigation with Rye as reasons for its delay. In the meantime, despite the potential for
renewed litigation, the Astorino administration has stated it will move forward on $30 million in county-funded improvements at Playland Park, and will co-manage the park with Standard until 50 percent of the county’s capital projects are completed. With a construction schedule in place, Standard announced that it will aim to build four new rides for the park’s 2019 season and will look to add more once those are complete. Already, some initial design mockups have been revealed for new rides, which include names like Windstarz, Revolution 32 and Unicoaster. A $60 million management agreement signed in May of last year will see Standard amusements take over management of Playland once the county expends half of its agreed upon $30 million in capital improvements.

Westchester County lawmakers made a stand against the sale of synthetic marijuana this week, voting to sign the first-ever countywide bill banning the drug and many of its counterparts. In a unanimous vote, the county Board of Legislators voted on Monday, May 8 to enact a countywide ban on the sale of a synthetic drug known colloquially as “spice” and commonly marketed under brand names like “K2.” According to a sponsor of the bill, David Tubilio, a Yonkers Republican, the law will seek to blockade Westchester against the harmful effects of the drug, which elsewhere across the state and country is sold legally over-the-counter. “The top priority is public safety, and hopefully this law can protect and prevent,” he said. In order to help enforce the ban—which encompasses a wide array of chemicals commonly found in products marketed as synthetic marijuana—the bill will also include a fine of up to $2,000 for any business caught selling the banned substances. Tubilo said enforcement will come through a combination of the county’s health and public safety departments. Auditors from the health department will peruse businesses for the banned substances, and if deemed necessary, Tubiolo said the police will conduct an investigation. Reeling in the sale of synthetic marijuana, however, has been a battle for regulators who struggle to stay ahead of the products’

constantly shifting chemical makeups. Oftentimes, as soon as a substance is banned, manufacturers will skirt laws by slightly altering the compounds recipe. To prevent those loopholes, Tubiolo—who consulted health professionals, researchers and law enforcement to help draft the bill—said lawmakers attempted to broadly define substances, casting the widest net possible. In the event that too many loopholes arise, Tubiolo said lawmakers would be required to “tweak and change” the law to help tighten restrictions. Currently, the law bans a total of eight different substances. Like Westchester, New York state, under Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, has also attempted to stem the tide of synthetic weed, enacting multiple laws to ban compounds on the state level in 2012 and 2015. -Reporting by James Pero
Sound Shore committee announces parade date The village of Mamaroneck Board of Trustees unanimously agreed to designate Sunday, March 18, 2018, as the official date for the seventh annual Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The date was formally announced at the Sedona Taphouse in Mamaroneck, where the owners presented the parade committee with the proceeds of their Steakout for Charity monthly fundraiser. On every Monday in March, Sedona Taphouse offered a delicious steak special to all of their customers, and a generous portion of those proceeds were donated to the Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade Scholarship Fund. The annual parade has awarded a total of $17,500 in scholarships to local high school students to date, a tradition that began five years ago with the first Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade. “Our aim is to organize a great Parade event for the Sound Shore communities and to celebrate Irish-American culture,” said scholarship committee chair Chris Regan. “It also provides for scholarships for deserving students who have dedicated part of their lives to preserving Irish culture and heritage in our area.” Regan added that the committee is currently reviewing candidates for this year’s scholarships, and looks forward to announcing the winners next month. Joining Sedona Taphouse owners Ron Duckstein and Bill Jablonski for the check presentation were the 2017 grand marshal, Valerie Moore O’Keeffe, Mamaroneck

Famed Manhattan salon comes to Westchester
The Nunzio Saviano Salon opened its second location at White Plains’ Ritz-Carlton Westchester in March. Photo courtesy Nunzio Saviano Salon
Westchester fans of Nunzio Saviano’s work will no longer have to make the trip to 65th Street in Manhattan for his salon services, as the hair stylist has now opened a salon at the Ritz-Carlton Westchester, accepting clients by appointment only from Tuesday to Saturday. Though small, the full-service, luxury salon is located on the ninth floor of the White Plains hotel, sharing space with its spa amenities. Patrons can experience Saviano’s signature cuts and hairstyling, which also includes a colorist and services for special events, and manicures and pedicures. The salon exclusively uses Kérastase hair products. Saviano himself is available there every Tuesday. With more than 20 years in the hairstyling business, he has wanted to open another location for some time now, having opened the Manhattan salon about four years ago. Jean Oh, one of the stylists at the Ritz-Carlton, has been with Saviano since the opening of the first salon. A Stamford, Connecticut resident, he was
looking at space in Greenwich when the Ritz-Carlton Westchester approached him with a salon that fit just right. “I got into hairstyling because of the creativity of it,” Saviano said. “Once I get bored, there’s already something out there; like fashion, hair trends move very quickly.” Saviano has been called the best by various publications, including Allure and InStyle. He keeps an eye on trends while also paying attention to one’s facial structure, hair type and lifestyle, creating a look that is all your own. He has worked with the likes of actresses Angelica Huston and Brooke Shields, to name a few. As a special, any Nunzio Saviano Salon appointment can provide patrons the use of some of the Ritz-Carlton amenities, including the hotel pool, for an extra $20, allowing for a day of head-to-toe pampering. To make your appointment, call 467-5888 or 467-5728. For more information, visit nunziosaviano.com/white-plains. -Reporting by Sibylla Chipaziwa

A drawn-out loss LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
As long as I follow sports, I don’t think I’ll ever suffer another loss quite as painful Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS. The storyline was about as rich as it gets in sports: My Red Sox, trying to end an 85-year curse, jumping out to an early lead against their bitterest rival in a door-die elimination game, only to be done in by a late collapse and an extra-innings homer by Aaron “Bleepin’” Boone. For Red Sox fans, it was nearly nine decades of torment embodied in one singular game, the Boone homer serving as a gut-punch exclamation point on our franchise’s futility to that point. The New York Rangers’ Eastern Conference semifinals loss to the Ottawa Senators this year would also rank high on my list of disappointing sports losses, but instead of having that one moment of heartbreak, it seemed more like a twoweek-long root canal. On Tuesday night, the Rangers dropped a disappointing Game 6 to
the Sens 4-2. It was the kind of game where, right from the outset, it was clear to Ranger fans that it wasn’t going to be our night. Two quick goals from Ottawa put the Rangers in a hole they couldn’t climb out of, and despite a late game surge by the Blue Shirts to make it competitive, this one wasn’t ever really in doubt. But what makes the loss sting in particular is the way that the Rangers had outplayed their opponents all series long, only to fumble away sure things and keep the Senators hanging around. In both Game 2 and Game 5 overtime losses, the Rangers, by all accounts, had Ottawa dead to rights, only to see their leads evaporate in the waning minutes on a bunch of soft goals. Even if the Rangers wouldn’t admit those losses were demoralizing, it most certainly had an effect on the fan base. On Tuesday night, the crowd at Mickey Spillane’s in Eastchester was oddly uncomfortable from the opening face-off. All of the excitement, all of the enthusiasm I’d seen throughout the team’s playoff run, was replaced by an ominous sense of dread. When Ottawa’s
Mike Hoffman beat Henrik Lundqivst for a goal just four minutes into the game, you could almost feel the fans quietly accepting their fate. Sure, there was a lot of game left, but the writing was on the wall; this wasn’t going to be the Rangers’ night. So for the next 56 minutes, we sat and watched the Rangers cough up the puck and sputter out in the offensive zone without much sense of hope. When the final horn sounded, we were drained, but also relieved that the ordeal was over. It wasn’t dissimilar from walking out during the credits of a Lars von Trier movie. The great thing about sports is that, when your team finally wins, the ability to exorcise the demons of terrible past losses makes the victory even sweeter. In 2004, when the Red Sox came back in four straight games against the Yanks before going on to sweep the Cardinals in the World Series, it was losses like the ones in 1986 and 2003 that made the moment all the more special. Maybe 2018 will be the Rangers’ year, maybe it won’t. But when, (if), they do hoist the Stanley Cup
On May 9, the Rangers’ season came to an end with a 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Although the game itself was a heartbreaker, it was par for the course in a series that was tough to watch for Ranger fans. Photo courtesy Wikipedia.org
again, I’m certainly going to think back to this blown opportunity against the Senators. Let’s just hope that payoff
doesn’t take another 60 years.

MAMARONECK 15 RYE 2 MAMARONECK HS
Game Notes: • Nine different players scored for the Tigers • Mamaroneck won 15 of 19 draws • Maddy Riordan had six assists
5/8/17
By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor After suffering a hard-luck loss to league rival Scarsdale on May 4, Mamaroneck bounced back in a big way on Monday, routing a tough Rye team 15-2. For the Tigers, the win may have been the team’s most complete performance of the year, and should serve to build confidence as the playoffs approach. Mamaroneck wasted little time going on the attack, amassing an 8-0 lead by halftime, thanks in large part to tremendous proficiency on the draw. The Tigers won 15 of 19 draw

controls on the afternoon, which highlights a particular strength of the club this year. “Draw control has definitely been very helpful for us and when we have done well, we’ve generally won those games,” head coach Rocky Lividini said. “This year, the big new rule has been that possession has to be gained between the restraining lines, and we have done a pretty good job having the right people on the draws.” Once they established possession, the Tigers made the most of their chances, demonstrating one of the most well-balanced offensive games of the season. Though the Tigers were led by three-goal games from both Emily Mahland and Cassie Budill, a total of nine Tigers found the net on the day, and 10 of the team’s 15 goals came off assists. Maddy Riordan also had six assists for the Tigers. Amanda Hartzell scored both goals for Rye. “After the game, I told the team that there wasn’t really much we could pick apart from the way we played.” Lividini said. “Rye is a good team, and even when I played [for Mamaroneck] it was a big thing to even get a win, I can’t remember one like this.” The win was especially important given that the Tigers were coming off a 10-9 loss to rival Scarsdale. According to the head coach, the resilience the team showed in its Monday contest could portend big things for the club in the postseason. “They always come to play, they work hard at practices, and we haven’t let the losses deter us,” she said. “Every team is going to have setbacks, but [against Rye] they really came out ready to go.” At 11-3 on the year, the Tigers will finish out the regular season with league rematches with New Rochelle and Scarsdale, after press time, before the playoffs kick off next week. “Section I has really been a home for upsets this year, and once we get into the playoffs, I really think we have a good chance of doing well,” Lividini said. “We’re just hoping to make history and make it to that final game.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
