‘Maker Zone’ zoning overlay finalized, 2020 targeted By JAMES PERO Staff Writer An initiative to completely redevelop the village of Mamaroneck’s “Maker Zone”—an industrial area adjacent to its downtown district—has come full circle with the finalization of an overlay zone allowing for a target implementation date of January 2020. According to Trustee Keith Waitt, a Democrat, who also sits on the Industrial Area Committee, after finalizing the zoning overlay earlier this year, the committee will look to convene its consultants, committee members and land use boards to help ad-
dress any lingering questions and add or improve language in the new laws this October. “What excites me now is we’re now starting to see this come to life,” Waitt said. “We’re closer to reality from the concept stage.” From there, Waitt said, the village’s consultants will continue to carry out a Generic Environmental Impact Statement, GEIS—a study assessing the effects of zoning changes—that he said could be completed in early 2020. The committee’s zoning recommendations are the product of several years’ worth of study. The group was originally tasked with developing a plan—in tan-
dem with hired consultants—on how to steer the area’s undeveloped industrial area toward a new future, which started in 2015. Currently, various warehouses—like Chatsworth Antiques— and business spaces for plumbing, electrical and auto trades, are situated in the heart of that industrial district. In addition to opening up the allowed uses of current zoning laws using overlays, the committee has also recommended amendments to the code regarding height restrictions and special permitting in an attempt to attract new businesses. One new addition to compliant businesses
would be pet-sitting operations where patrons could temporarily leave their pets when away from home. Among the new frontiers for the Maker Zone, the committee also hopes to bring in boutique hotels, theaters, indoor recreation facilities and micro-alcohol establishments. Concurrent with movement on the Maker Zone project, the village is also undergoing other planning and rezoning initiatives that include an update of the village’s comprehensive plan and a moratorium on residential| development.

Village moratorium extended until 2019 By JAMES PERO Staff Writer The village of Mamaroneck will look to extend a moratorium on large-scale residential development until March 2019 as it continues to assess the future of its current zoning and planning policies. According to Trustee Leon Potok, a Democrat, the village will extend the moratorium for five more months “It’s clear that we can’t do everything we need to within the original timeframe,” said Trustee Leon Potok, a Democrat. “Things just take time.” Potok did not elaborate on any specific issues that are contributing to the decision to extend the moratorium, however. A presentation by consultants helping assess development in the village is still slated for October, according to the trustee. The village signed on to spend nearly $100,000 earlier this year to conduct a study as the next step in what was originally a six-month moratorium, which was passed back in April. The moratorium was passed partly as a response to proposals of large-scale developments coming before the village land use boards; in particular, a $35 million project slated for a parcel on
Waverly Avenue that would erect more than 100 units within three five-story buildings. Specifically, the moratorium has put a temporary stop to all development of three units or larger with the exception of construction that was started before March 12. In particular, drivers for the passage of a moratorium have centered on the potential for future developments’ impact on traffic, noise and infrastructure, including the village’s sewer systems which are currently under remediation after being the focus of a high-profile lawsuit in recent years. The ongoing study is investigating the impact of development on village infrastructure and services, the effects on local school districts and identifying parcels of land that would be ideal for new developments. The study marks a continuation of planning and rezoning initiatives that the village has undertaken over the last year. In the meantime, NV5 is also undertaking an update to the village’s comprehensive plan, to make it more environmentally friendly and attuned with development trends. That plan, which hasn’t been updated since 2012, is MORATORIUM continued on page 3

Cuomo clips Nixon in high turnout Dem primary

By JAMES PERO Staff Writer In a high profile primary, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Democrat, handily defeated progressive upstart and activist Cynthia Nixon to win the party’s gubernatorial nomination for a run at his third term in office.On Thursday, Sept. 13, Cuomo defeated Nixon, an actress best known for her role on HBO’s “Sex in the City,” winning 65 percent of the total vote cast. According to state Board of Elections results, voter turnout more than doubled a 2014 gubernatorial primary also featuring Cuomo with 1.5 million votes cast compared to just more than 574,000 four years ago.In a passionate concession speech, Nixon declared her campaign a success in setting a more progressive agenda for the state. “My hat is off to each and every one of you and the brilliant insurgent campaigns that you have run,” said Nixon to her supporters and fellow candidates down ticket, some of which were successful in pulling off upsets of establishment incumbents. “Your
victories tonight have shown that the blue wave is real and that it is not only coming for Republicans, it is coming for Democrats who act like them.” Cuomo did not attend a celebration in Manhattan with his supporters choosing instead to watch the results roll in with family and friends in Albany. A Tweet sent out from Cuomo’s camp—the only statement Tuesday night following his win—said, “Thank you, New York.” The governor will now prepare to face off against Republican candidate Marc Molinaro, the Dutchess County executive, in the general election in November. Cuomo will also face a challenge from former Syracuse mayor and independent candidate Stephanie Miner, a Democrat and once Cuomo supporter who is now a vocal critic of the governor’s.Incumbency won across the board with Cuomo’s colleagues and running mates Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul defeating challenger Jumaane Williams, a New York City councilman, in a close race for lieutenant governor and Letitia James winning formi-
dably over the progressive wing’s Zephyr Teachout to become the first black woman to be nominated for Attorney General by the Democratic Party. Though Cuomo sailed to victory over Nixon, the race left a more noticeable dent in the incumbent’s coffers, with his campaign spending more than $8.5 million leading up to the election, including several costly television advertisements; meanwhile, Nixon spent only $450,000. Throughout Cuomo’s tenure as governor, he has worked to align himself as a more progressive member of the Democratic Party, touting initiatives to legalize same-sex marriage in 2011, raising minimum wage and offering free in-state tuition to students across New York. With speculation that Cuomo may look to leapfrog into the national spotlight as a presidential hopeful in 2020, he personally made a pledge to stay on as governor during his lone debate against Nixon in August.

costing the village an additional $70,000. Another study geared toward improving the village Building Department’s practices and procedures is also underway. Additionally, the village has continued to plan out a longterm redevelopment project of a former industrial area dubbed the “Maker Zone.” Through a rezoning and lengthy planning process, Mamaroneck officials hope

What’s going on... Larchmont Public Library
Nov. 7: Title to be selected by group
Guilty Conscience Book Group with Liam Hegarty
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:
Frank Discussions with Frank Connelly Oct. 3: “Hound of the Baskervilles”
Thursday, Oct. 4 at 7 p.m. The Guilty Conscience Group focuses on fiction. Sometimes the selections are classic works and other times the focus is on new novels. For the October discussion, the group reads and discusses “My Name Is Red” by Orhan Pamuk: a transporting tale set amid the splendor and religious intrigue of 16th century Istanbul, from one of the most prominent contemporary Turkish writers.
Literary Bites: A Cookbook Exploration 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 Thursdays, Sept. 27, 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 Wednesdays, Sept. 26, Oct. 10, Oct. 31 at 10 a.m. Join retired schoolteacher Ileen Gotteseld, for this series discussing themes from the following books. Sept. 26: “This Is How It Always Is” by Laurie Frankel 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.

Latimer urges residents to prepare for hurricane season Westchester County Executive George Latimer is urging residents to review their emergency plans and obtain critical supplies in case any severe weather strikes Westchester during hurricane season. “Now is the time to assemble the essential items that you would need at home if a major storm hits and causes flooding or power outages,” Latimer said. “These items can quickly disappear from store shelves when a storm is looming or has just occurred.”According to county emergency responders, residents should have several days’ worth of food, water, medicine and other critical supplies like flashlights and batteries on hand in the event that they are stuck in their homes without power. Residents should also have a “go-bag” ready in case they are asked to evacuate on short notice during an emergency, some cash available in the event that ATM’s and credit card machines are out of service, and they should keep the fuel tank full in their vehicles. “In recent years, severe storms have caused significant property damage and extended power
outages in Westchester,” Latimer said. “We don’t know what Mother Nature has in store for us this hurricane season so hope for the best but plan for the worst.” Hurricane season runs through Dec. 1. John Cullen, commissioner of the county Department of Emergency Services, recommended that people create a disaster preparedness kit that includes: one gallon of water per person per day; a three-day supply of canned, packaged or other foods that do not need refrigeration or need to be cooked; a manual can opener; flashlights; batteries; a first-aid kit; and a battery-powered or hand-crank radio. Foods that can be stored include: ready-to-eat canned meats and fish, protein or fruit bars, dry cereal, granola, peanut butter, nuts, crackers and canned fruit juice. Dr. Sherlita Amler, commissioner of the county Department of Health, said food safety and generator safety are essential during any power outage or emergency. If you lose power, Amler said here’s how to ensure you feed your family safely:
Keep your refrigerator closed as much as possible. Do not assume refrigerated foods are safe. If food is still fully frozen, it is safe to use. Foods that have warmed to room temperature for more than two hours or have come into contact with flood waters should be discarded. When in doubt, throw it out. During a prolonged outage, these foods are potentially hazardous if not stored below 45 degrees Fahrenheit and should be discarded. After disposing of spoiled food, disinfect the refrigerator to avoid further contamination. Discard any cans of food that are rusted, dented or opened. If appliances are wet, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. Then, unplug appliances and let them dry out. Have appliances checked by a professional before using them again. Storm clean-up can produce a great deal of garbage, which invites insects and rodents. Store your garbage in watertight, rodent/insect-proof containers with tight-fitting covers. Residents and business owners

with generators are reminded of the following safety tips: Never run a generator in a basement, garage, porch or carport. Generators produce carbon monoxide that can quickly be lethal indoors. Only operate a generator outdoors and away from open windows. Do not exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Overloading your generator can damage it and any appliances connected to it. Fire may result. If your generator has a detachable fuel tank, remove it before
refilling. If this is not possible, shut off the generator and let it cool before refilling. • Residents with oil tanks should top off their tanks and tighten the cap to prevent spills. Above-ground tanks should also be strapped to a secure fixture to prevent tipping in case of flooding. If you lose power, call Con Edison or NYS Electric and Gas directly. The phone numbers are: Con Ed power outage or gas and electrical service problems, 1-800-75-CONED; NYSEG electricity power outage, 1-800-
572-1131; NYSEG gas power outage, 1-800-572-1121. Cullen said families also need to consider what additional preparations may be necessary for people who have special needs or who care for the elderly, infants or pets. Family members also should plan for how they will communicate if local phone service is not available or is overwhelmed by high demand. Practical tips on these and other topics can be found at keepingsafe.westchestergov.com/be-prepared and ready.gov. (Submitted)

It’s rare for a diehard fan like me to throw in the towel just two games into a season, but I— and just about anyone who has watched the Giants play football this year—feel confident in saying it; Big Blue is toast. But while unwatchable football campaigns are nothing new, especially to area fans over the last few years, the inevitable slog of watching the Giants over the next few months doesn’t have a silver lining for me. It’s just the start of an absolute sports drought. Some things are just plain evident; the Giants—with a porous offensive line, an immobile, ineffective quarterback and a head coach who hasn’t yet seemed to master the idea of “in-game adjustments”—are looking at a three-to-four win season. But whereas in past years, I’ve been
able to shift my attentions to the New York Rangers by mid-October, I don’t think watching them is going to be much fun either. After a tremendous run of consecutive playoff appearances (postseason berths in nine of the previous 10 seasons prior to 2018), the Blueshirts finally seem to be in rebuilding mode, having jettisoned most of their aging, high-priced stars by last year’s trade deadline. The forecast for this year? Well, anything is possible, but I wouldn’t hold out much hope for a Stanley Cup. And, the less said about the Rangers’ fellow Madison Square Garden tenants, the better; I’d be surprised if I tune into a Knicks’ game all year. Of course, I do still have my Red Sox to watch, for as long as they’re around, but I’m not as high as you might think on a team seemingly destined to finish the regular season campaign with 108 wins or so. The Sox bullpen has been positively atrocious, always a bad sign in the postsea-
son, so I fully expect them to get swept by the Yankees (the horror!) in the divisional series. So much for meaningful baseball, I guess. So what is a sports fan to do? I can’t remember the last time I’ve suffered through an autumn and winter with absolutely no potential positivity whatsoever. Should I take up a new hobby like wood-working? Learn a foreign language? Finally get around to reading the Harry Potter book series? Maybe that’s just the pessimist in me. It’s possible the Giants turn things around and make a run in the NFC East. Perhaps the young Rangers’ skaters provide the franchise with an unexpected jolt of energy. And what if the Knicks’ first-round pick, Kevin Knox somehow becomes the next “must watch” rookie in the NBA? Right now, it sure doesn’t seem likely. I think I’ll get started on my Italian this week.

Game Notes: • New Rochelle’s Jordan Forrest rushed for 150 yards & 2 TDs on just 9 carries • The Huguenots have outscored their opponents by 123 points this year • Mamaroneck and New Rochelle are now 2-1
By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Sept. 14, the New Rochelle Huguenots put forth another brilliant effort in their solid 2018 campaign, topping league foe Mamaroneck 48-7 on the road. But although the Huguenots have been unbeatable on the field so far, their record doesn’t reflect that dominance, after the Class AA favorites were forced to vacate their Week 1 win over Yonkers Brave. The Huguenots came into Friday’s game having won their

guenots have not missed a beat. Against the Tigers, New Rochelle earned yet another 41-point victory and have now, unofficially, outshined their three opponents this year by a combined score of 130-7. Mamaroneck’s Charlie Parkinson proved the first opposing player to find the end zone against the Huguenots this year, hauling in a pass from Tommy Dillon to make the score 21-7. Unfortunately for the Tigers, it would
be as close as they would get to dethroning the reigning Section I champions. On the ensuing kickoff, Jesse Pearson made a defender miss and took the ball 86 yards for a Huguenots score. Early in the season, offensive balance has been one of New Rochelle’s calling cards, and that efficiency was on display against the Tigers. Running back Jordan Forrest spearheaded the rushing attack, carrying the ball nine times for 150 yards and two
scores, while quarterback Mac Coughlin continued his impressive play, throwing for 101 yards and two touchdowns as well. With the loss, Mamaroneck falls to 2-1 on the season, but will look to bounce back on Sept. 22, when they take on rival Port Chester. The Huguenots will take on Yonkers Force, which earned its second win of the season last week when it beat White Plains 33-16. CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

Hoff-Barthelson Music School:
Enriching Lives, Creating Community
Registration is open for the 2018 fall semester at Hoff-Barthelson, Westchester’s premier community music school. Hoff-Barthelson Music School was founded in 1944 by Virginia Hoff and Joyce Barthelson, two gifted musicians who believed that the joy of music and the skills to perform it should be available to everyone. They left a legacy that has touched the lives of many thousands: a warm, friendly music school dedicated to the highest standards of music education, performance and community service for students of all ages. A commitment to creativity, collaboration and community animates Hoff-Barthelson’s holistic approach to music education, which is characterized by: A supportive musical environment. We inspire our students to develop their musical and human
potential as part of a community of peers, teachers and parents. Adults find a musical home at HBMS, too—pursuing their love of music with others who share their passion. A focus on the whole student. Teaching understanding, appreciation and musical skills goes hand in hand with nurturing critical thinking, creative, social and other valuable learning and life skills. Customized learning. We work with all students—whether their interests are casual or pre-professional—to design individual goals and pathways, and connect them with the best possible teachers. Exceptional teaching. Our faculty—drawn from the region’s most talented teachers and performers—excels at matching the teaching approach to the individual, catalyzing each student’s progress from beginner to
advanced. A multifaceted curriculum. Our comprehensive approach combines individual instruction, musicianship courses, ensembles and frequent performance opportunities offered year-round. Once enrolled for music lessons, all students gain complimentary access to a comprehensive program that includes musicianship classes in theory, ear training and composition; ensemble opportunities for students at all levels, including wind, vocal and jazz ensembles, a multi-tiered orchestra program and chamber music; and myriad performance opportunities throughout the year. Students also benefit from master classes, workshops and coaching with world renowned guest artists and members of the New York Philharmonic, with which the school has partnered for

Your Neighborhood Arts Center Welcomes You Back Last year was spent celebrating the Performing Art Center’s 40th anniversary. “As is the case after every milestone,” said Seth Soloway, Performing Art Center director, “there is trepidation about what’s to come, but we celebrated well and are very excited to take our next bold steps into the future.” During the 2018-2019 season, The PAC plans to continue on the path begun two years ago, moving toward becoming a true incubator for the arts and a welcoming community hub for an increasingly diverse audience base. Long-time audience members will be happy to see that familiar favorites will still anchor the season, like the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, who opened the season on Sept. 16, joined by the extraordinary pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii and a full house of enthusiastic audience members. Other old friends in the line-up include Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, returning for their
fourth season at The PAC, the Westchester Philharmonic and the legendary Rob Mathes, who celebrates his 25th anniversary of holiday concerts at The PAC this December. These classics will be complemented by compelling programing that crosses boundaries and blends genres, providing many opportunities to say “I saw it at The PAC first!” A great example—the American String Quartet’s program on Oct. 13, which will feature narration by novelist Salman Rushdie; the author’s readings and the musical selections will reflect each other’s depth and power, making for a unique and thought-provoking evening. Another fall highlight will take place on Oct. 26 when Black Violin takes the stage backed by The Purchase Symphony Orchestra and a select group of local high school musicians. A unique opportunity for students and audiences alike.
Other key features of the season include expanded cabaret, world music, and family programming, plus on-campus residencies, student involvement and special events like Artist Talks, master classes and open rehearsals to provide alternative ways for patrons to more deeply engage with the artists and with one another. The Performing Arts Center, Purchase College is located on the campus of Purchase College, SUNY. Visit their website artscenter.org to learn more about what’s in store, and follow PurchasePAC on social media for the most up-to-date information. (Submitted)

Bruce Museum To Host Arts Festival More than 85 new and returning artists from across the country will showcase their work on the grounds of the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, Connecticut, on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6 and 7, from10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Celebrating its 37th edition this fall, the Bruce Museum Outdoor Arts Festival is recognized as one of the top fine arts festivals nationally. The juried works include painting on canvas, board and paper, mixed media in 2D and 3D, drawings and graphics, including digital media, sculpture and photography. All works are available for purchase and artists are on hand to discuss their pieces and process. In addition, this family-friendly event features delicious lunch menu offerings and free art activities for children. “This show is truly comprised of the who’s who of contemporary fine artists,” festival director Sue Brown Gordon said. Gordon, the director for the last 25 years, actively scouts for talent year-round. “My travels take me across the country to seek out the very best to bring to Greenwich,” she said. Festival admission is free to Bruce Museum members and children less than 5 years old; entry is $10 for non-members. Festival admission includes access to the Bruce Museum galleries. Festival parking is in all municipal parking areas surrounding the museum. Opening on Sept. 22, the museum’s signature fall exhibition, “ReTooled: Highlights from the Hechinger Collection,” includes the work of 28 artists, including artists Arman, Richard Estes, Howard Finster, Red Grooms, Jacob Lawrence and Fernand Léger; photographers Berenice Abbott and Walker Evans; as well as pop artists Jim Dine, Claes Oldenburg and James Rosenquist. Featuring more than 40 richly imaginative, quirky and thought-provoking paintings, sculptures, photographs and sketches, “ReTooled” celebrates the prevalence of tools in our lives with art that transforms utilitarian objects into fanciful works that speak of beauty, insight and wit. Other exhibitions on view during the Bruce Museum’s Outdoor Arts Festival weekend include:

“Expressionism in Print: The Early Works of Richard Haas,” “1957-64” showcases the graphic evolution of the famed trompe l’oeil artist, whose career was launched with youthful “style jumping” inspired by German Expressionist printmakers and Abstract Expressionist painters. “A Continuous Thread: Navajo Weaving Traditions” traces the history of the Navajo weaving tradition from the earliest Mexican-inspired Saltillo serapes, c. 1880, to mid-20th century pictorial rugs. On view will be a dozen items from the museum’s Native American ethnographic collection—some of which have never been publicly exhibited— and artifacts from Greenwich heiress Margaret Cranford, who
spent a lifetime traveling the world to collect fine decorative art, jewelry and textiles. “Wild Bees: Photographs by Paula Sharp and Ross Eatman” features exquisite color photographs of native bees in their natural habitats, along with an exploration of their varied lifestyles. Festival visitors will be able to join the Bruce Museum at the entrance to receive instant free admission and many discounts both at the festival—many exhibitors offer discounts for Bruce Museum members—and in the Museum Store. The complete listing of this year’s exhibitors will be featured on brucemuseum.org as the festival weekend nears. For more information, please call 203-869-0376. (Submitted)
