Half Time’s brewpub gets key green light With approval from the village of Mamaroneck, a new brewpub, serving a wide selection of craft beers and food, is slated for construction conjoining with Half Time Beverage. The special permit granted by the village Planning Board to Half Time earlier this month will mark the culmination of months
of deliberation by the village Board of Trustees and land use boards on the impact of adding smaller brewing operations in Mamaroneck and will set in motion the construction of a 4,000 square foot addition to Half Time’s current facility. There is currently no timeline for construction..
In addition to serving customers beer from its current stock, the new Half Time extension would also serve beer brewed on site by Decadent Ales and an array of American food for patrons of its new 56-seat tasting room. During the summer of 2017, the village underwent a code revamp to allow for micro-alcohol
and larger scale brewing operations, and impose distinct guidelines in its zoning law as to where and when such establishments can operate. Half Time Beverage, which is located on Hoyt Avenue and BREWPUB continued on page 8
For the first time in more than a decade, village of Larchmont Board of Trustees elections will be contested as a newly formed, issue-based party has sprung up to challenge incumbent Democrats. While incumbent trustees Peter Fanelli and Carol Miller, both Democrats, will be running for re-election, they are facing an unexpected challenger from political newcomer Sarah Bauer, who is running under the Preservation Party line. Village elections haven’t been contested since 2006, according to Vilage Clerk Brian Rilley, with Democrats owning full control of the Board of Trustees since then. The local Republican Party has become irrelevent in village politics as it has disintegrated to the point where there is no longer any GOP organization in Larchmont to speak of. Bauer’s Preservation Party stems from an ongoing movement in Larchmont to turn the tide of demolitions and subdivisions of historic homes which they claim is destroying the character of the village. The move-
ment reached a boiling point in 2016 over the proposed demolition of a near-century-old home located on 40 Ocean Ave. The outcry from residents resulted in a revamp of myriad land use procedures and laws passed in 2017 that were designed to help protect against overdevelopment and safeguard the village’s stock of historic homes. Also up for re-election is Mayor Lorraine Walsh, a Democrat, who is running uncontested for her second term as mayor. Though the process of a revamp in village land use laws was started by Walsh’s predecessor, Anne McAndrews, Walsh held office during the long process and helped to oversee reforms passed by the Board of Trustees. Village elections will be held on Tuesday, March 20 and a candidate forum for trustees to discuss their platforms will be hosted by the League of Women Voters on Wednesday, March 14 at 7:30 p.m. in the village courtroom. Bauer and a representative from the League of Women Voters could not be reached for comment as of press time. CONTACT: james@hometwn.com

Special election set for Maisano’s legislative seat The Westchester County Board of Legislators has set a special election to be held on April 24 to replace the longest-serving Republican on its board. After county Legislator Jim Maisano, of New Rochelle, stepped down on Sunday, Feb. 25 to join Democratic County Executive George Latimer’s administration, the county board voted to set a date for the election to replace him. Maisano started his new role as the director of the county Department of Consumer Protection on Feb. 26, the same day his letter of resignation was submitted to County Clerk Tim Idoni. “It’s been one of the biggest honors of my life to serve as a county legislator,” Maisano wrote in his letter. “I will miss working
with my fellow legislators on the issues facing our great county.” Maisano served 21 years as a legislator and formerly as the board’s vice chairman from 2014 to 2017. With the Republican’s departure, county Democrats will look to further fortify their control of the Board of Legislators, as they already hold a now hold a 12vote supermajority majority of the 17-member Legislature. According to the county Board of Elections, Democrats exceed registered GOP voters by approximately 8,000 in District 11, Maisano’s former district that covers New Rochelle, Pelham and Pelham Manor. But Maisano was rarely challenged by Democrats during his 11 terms because of his mostly moderate views. The election to replace Maisano will be held on the same day as the special election for Latimer’s vacated Senate seat. State Assemblywoman Shelley Mayer, a Yonkers Democrat, is running against former Rye City Councilwoman Julie Killian, a Republican, for that seat, which covers District 37. With the date set to fill Maisano’s seat, party district leaders

Come join this opportunity to explore the elements of creating a self-compassion practice. The conversation will be facilitated by Mary Bermingham, a licensed master social worker and certified Daring Way facilitator.

Village of Mamaroneck Private Sewer Lateral Law Please be advised that the village of Mamaroneck recently enacted a local law relating to the maintenance of private sanitary sewer laterals connecting homes to the village’s public sanitary sewer system. The Board of Trustees delayed implementation of this local law until Feb. 15, 2018 in order to make certain groups, including real estate agents and other professionals, aware of these new requirements. Although existing county and state laws already confirm that property owners are responsible for their laterals, the recently adopted local law requires the following: - Laterals shall be kept free from roots, grease deposits and other solids which may impede the flow or obstruct the transmission of sewage. - Laterals shall not exhibit any signs of infiltration. - Laterals shall not exhibit any sign of exfiltration or leakage. - Lateral pipe joints shall be tight and all lateral pipes shall be free of any structure defects such as breaks, openings, and voids.
In order to implement this law, property owners will be required to obtain a Discharge Compliance Certificate upon the transfer of title, or issuance of a building/plumbing permit with construction valued at more than 50 percent of the assessed value of the property including improvements. In order to obtain such a certificate, the property owner must provide a Plumber’s Certification to the village including video submitted to the Building Department (either on CD or thumb drive) indicating the lateral is in proper working order. If a defect is found, property owners are responsible for making all necessary repairs within 60 days of becoming aware of such a defect. If a repair is not made in the requisite timeframe, the village may enter onto the property, cause the repair to be made and charge back the property owner as a lien on their tax bill. To view a copy of the local law, visit the village website at village.mamaroneck.ny.us. If you have any questions about the law, please call the village Building Department at 777-7731.

More drug take-back program locations New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, DEC, Commissioner Basil Seggos recently announced the second group of participants in the state’s $2 million Pilot Pharmaceutical Take-Back Program. Participants include 172 retail pharmacies, hospitals, and long-term care facilities across the state. Two hundred and forty-six facilities are now enrolled in the program, which began in 2017. The second-round locations enrolled in the Pilot Pharmaceutical Take Back Program will officially begin accepting waste medications in May 2018, when medication collection boxes are delivered to and installed by participating pharmacies. Until then, the public is encouraged to use existing medication collection box locations, which can be found by visiting DEC’s website at dec.ny.gov/chemical/67720.html and clicking on the “NYS Medication Drop Box Locations” link. “Installing medication drop boxes in community pharmacies, hospitals and long-term care facilities increases opportunities for New Yorkers to properly and easily dispose of unwanted medications,” Seggos said. “The
hundreds of pharmacies and facilities participating in New York’s free drug take-back program are protecting their communities and the environment.” Under the drug take-back program, the DEC will purchase medication collection boxes and pay for the disposal of waste pharmaceuticals collected by participating facilities for two years. Implementation of this pilot program will help improve water quality, protect public health by removing medications from home medicine cabinets, and reduce potential adverse impacts to fish and aquatic organisms. The Pharmaceutical Take-Back Program complements Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s ongoing efforts to combat opioid addition by removing unused and expired pharmaceuticals from the waste stream. In addition, in his veto of Senate Bill No. 6750, which would have required chain pharmacies to provide drug disposal options paid for by customers, Cuomo directed the DEC to engage with stakeholders and local governments to prepare a report on the feasibility of creating and implementing a comprehensive, statewide pharmaceutical product
stewardship program. The DEC will issue the report later this year. The statewide Pilot Pharmaceutical Take-Back Program is funded with $2 million from the state’s Environmental Protection Fund. These resources will cover the full cost of purchasing U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration-compliant medication drop boxes, as well as the cost of pick up, transport, and destruction of collected waste pharmaceuticals for a two-year period. The governor’s proposed executive budget for 2018-19 includes an additional $1 million to support this pilot program. With technological advances in analytical techniques, it is now possible to detect low levels of drugs in surface water and groundwater. Some drugs pass largely unaltered through wastewater treatment plants and enter rivers and other waterways. Flushed medications have been found in New York lakes, rivers, and streams and can negatively affect the waterways. A national study conducted in 1999 and 2000, by the U.S. Geological Survey, found low levels of drugs such as antibiotics, hormones, contraceptives, and steroids in 80 percent of rivers and streams tested. Medications adversely

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that one U.S. citizen dies every 16 minutes from a drug overdose and has

Westchester Broadway Theatre presents
‘A Chorus Line’
Westchester Broadway Theatre, WBT, will open its 2018 theater season with the hit Broadway musical “A Chorus Line,” on through Saturday, April 1. This mega-hit captures the very soul of musical theater, and is one of the longest-running Broadway musicals ever. This beloved and iconic musical by James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante, with a brilliant and show-stopping score by Marvin Hamlisch with lyrics by Edward Kleban, is a celebration of those unsung heroes of the musical theater, the chorus dancers, valiant, over-dedicated, underpaid and highly trained troopers who back up the star and often make them look more talented. The characters portrayed in “A Chorus Line” are based upon the real life experiences of Broadway dancers. Everything is on the line for 17 dancers as they audition for a highly sought-after place in the chorus of a Broadway musical. Through this exhausting process, their stories and vulnerabilities are laid on the line as they ultimately come together and become one singular sensation. In a brilliant fusion of song, dance, and compellingly authentic drama, the musical features one powerhouse number after another including “What I Did for Love,” “One,” and “I Can Do That.” Considered groundbreaking when it opened on Broadway in 1975, the musical went on to
win nine Tony Awards, including Best Musical and the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Today, it remains as touching and powerful as when it debuted and is one of the longest running musicals on Broadway. The cast features: Drew Carr as Mike; Tiffany Chalothorn as Connie; Erika Conaway as Tricia; Joseph Cullinane as Greg; Kevin Curtis as Richie; Emma Degerstedt as Val; Brian Dillon as Larry; David Elder as Zach; Tim Fuchs as Al; Danielle Marie Gonzalez as Vicki; David Grindrod as Roy; Michael John Hughes as Paul; Tyler Jimenez as Don; Emily Kelly as Maggie; Ashley Klinger as Kristine; Joey Lucherini as Frank; Erica Mansfield as Cassie; Alexandra Matteo as Diana; Logan Mortier as Bobby; PJ Palmer as Mark; Lauren Sprague as Sheila; Kelsey Walston as Bebe; and Caitlin Wilayto as Judy. Directed and choreographed by Mark Martino, who was at the helm of WBT’s recent hit, “Mamma Mia.” The musical director is Bob Bray; associate choreographer is Brian Dillon. Costume design by Keith Nielsen; set design by Steve Loftus; lighting design by Andrew Gmoser; sound design by Mark Zuckerman. The production stage manager is Victor Lukas; the assistant stage manager is Duane McDevitt; and properties are by Grumpy Props. Lisa Tiso is the associate producer.

Mayer snags Independence Party endorsement Westchester County’s Independence Party has endorsed Democratic Assemblywoman Shelley Mayer in the special election for County Executive George Latimer’s vacated Senate seat. According to the county Board of Elections, the 37th Senate District currently has 8,075 people registered in the Independence Party, giving Mayer an edge over her Republican opponent Julie Killian in a district where Democrats already outnumber Republicans by roughly 27,000 voters. The Independence Party, the county’s third largest political party, endorsed Killian, a former Rye City councilwoman, two years ago when she unsuccessfully challenged Latimer, a Rye Democrat, for his Senate seat. One year later, Latimer successfully won election as county executive forcing him to vacate his seat at the end of 2017. Killian won the Republican nomination earlier this month. She beat out a former inspector general in Yonkers and previous candidate for Westchester district attorney, Dan Schorr. For the special election, Killian has also garnered the backing of the Conservative Party and Reform Party. Mayer and Killian will square off in the crucial special election on April 24, a date recently set by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year. Both major parties are looking

Sarah Lawrence holds women’s history conference Sarah Lawrence College, home to the nation’s first graduate program in women’s history, will host its 20th annual Women’s History Conference on March 2-3 featuring a Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals, DACA, recipient as its keynote speaker. This year’s conference, “Democracy on the Margins: Gender, Citizenship, and the Global Challenge to Democratic Freedoms,” will expand upon college’s yearlong discussion of the theme “Democracy and Education” by examining the challenges faced by those who live, work, and struggle on the margins of democracy. “During Women’s History Month, it is not enough to reflect on the history of the women’s movement,’’ said Mary Dillard, director of the college’s graduate program in women’s history. “We need to examine the current political, culture and social changes that jeopardize the progress of women around the globe. Sarah Lawrence’s conference will examine history of democracy and the interplay between citizenship, race, gender, sexuality, and inequality.” In addition to keynote speaker, LuzHilda Campos, a DACA recipient and director of United
We Dream’s Defense Team, the conference will include breakout sessions led by noted authors and academics from national and international educational institutions including Berkeley, Yale and New York University. The program will be opened by Dillard and Sarah Lawrence College President Cristle Collins Judd. Established in 1972 by Gerda Lerner, Sarah Lawrence College Master of Arts program in women’s history was the country’s first graduate degree program in women’s history. The program will open Friday evening with keynote speaker LuzHilda Campos, a DACA recipient who grew up in New Mexico. She migrated at the age of 3 with her family from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. She grew up in a mixed status family; her younger sister is an American citizen and her older sister is also a DACA recipient. Growing up, LuzHilda’s status was never a secret, although she never understood what it really meant. Her parents spoke about limitations, but she hadn’t experienced any yet. She was in school and was learning just as much as everyone else. She picked up English rather quickly—everything
seemed normal, until her family was separated by a border and a checkpoint. Her older brother, a survivor of police brutality, decided to return to Mexico because he and their family feared for his life. Their goodbye was filled with pain, understanding that because of the family’s different immigration statuses, seeing him again was uncertain. Later came the deportation of her uncle. LuzHilda’s family did not understand or know that anything could be done to stop this deportation. When a group of students at Santa Fe Community College gathered to organize, LuzHilda joined the group and made a decision to speak out on the injustices her family had experienced. The Santa Fe team expanded and became a statewide network. In 2012, they celebrated the announcement of the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals, DACA, program. For LuzHilda, holding the DACA work permit in her hands is a constant reminder of the power the immigrant community has when they come together. At United We Dream, the Deportation Defense team has grown under LuzHilda’s leadership, includ-

ArtsW requests proposals for street art

ArtsWestchester recently announced a public art opportunity in White Plains for Hudson Valley artists. ArtsWestchester, in partnership with the city of White Plains, White Plains Business Improvement District, BID, and Kite Realty Group, is seeking an artist/designer or artist team to design and install graphics for a street painting for the “Arts Avenue” drop-off/pick-up lane between ArtsWestchester and the City Center on Mamaroneck Avenue, inclusive of the vacant street space on Martine Avenue, between the crosswalk and handicap parking space. Janet T. Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester, said, “This year marks the 20th anniversary of ArtsWestchester’s purchase of the landmark Peoples Bank & Trust Building on Mamaroneck Avenue in White Plains. To celebrate this anniversary and the transformation of the former bank building into a multi-use arts incubator, we are commissioning a public art project that will help identify our historic building as a center of creative activity in the city of White Plains.” White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach said, “Public art enlivens public spaces. We know this street art will bring color and
excitement to downtown White Plains, enhancing our streetscape and the vibrancy of our main downtown thoroughfare. We are pleased to partner with ArtsWestchester on this project.” The request for proposals asks artists to consider the following goals: improve the pedestrian experience, build visibility of ArtsWestchester’s headquarters at 31 Mamaroneck Ave., and help celebrate the 20th anniversary of ArtsWestchester’s residence in its historic building. Artists are encouraged to submit designs for the project that are distinctive, that consider the character and historic significance of the building, as well as the city’s street life, and that will comply with traffic and safety regulations. Eligible applicants must be at least 18 years old, and must live or maintain a studio address in the lower Hudson Valley region of New York, including New York City (all five boroughs), Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster, and Sullivan counties. Selected artists must be registered to do business in New York state. Honorarium: $15,000 to $20,000. Interested artists can access the full request for proposals by
visiting artswestchester.org/artist-opportunities/mamaroneckave-street-art-request-for-proposals. The deadline for proposals is Friday, March 9, 2018, at 11:59 p.m. EST. For more than 50 years, ArtsWestchester has been the community’s connection to the arts. Founded in 1965, it is the largest private nonprofit arts council in New York state. Its mission is to provide leadership vision and support to ensure the availability accessibility and diversity of the arts. ArtsWestchester provides programs and services that enrich the lives of everyone in Westchester County. It helps fund concerts exhibitions and plays through grants; brings artists into schools and community centers; advocates for the arts; and builds audiences through diverse marketing initiatives. In 1998, ArtsWestchester purchased the 9-story neo-classical bank building at 31 Mamaroneck Ave. which has since been transformed into a multi-use resource for artists, cultural organizations and the community. A 2-story gallery is located on the first floor of ArtsWestchester’s historic building on Mamaroneck Avenue. For more information, visit artswestchester.org.

Health dept.: Keep close at bath time

To mark National Bath Safety Month, Dr. Sherlita Amler, Westchester County health commissioner, reminds parents and caregivers of the importance of constantly supervising baths for children age 5 and under. “Tub time is together time,” Amler said. “When a young child is bathing, an adult should always be within arm’s reach. Avoid distractions. Turn off your phone and never leave the child’s side, even for a mo-
ment, because young children can drown in a small amount of water.” Follow these simple ABCS for a safe bath every time: A - Always stay within arm’s reach and avoid distractions. B - Before placing a young child in the bath, gather everything needed, from soap and washcloths to toys and towels. C - Children should never be placed in charge of a younger child’s bath.
S - Seats, rings and floats should only be used while an adult is watching. To avoid burns, test the temperature of the bath water on the inside of your wrist before helping a child into the tub. Prevent falls by placing a non-slip bathtub mat inside the tub and a rubber-backed bathmat beside the tub. For more health and safety tips, visit westchestergov.com/ health. (Submitted)

The perks of the job LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Most people who do any job for long enough unfortunately find out that the passion they have for their work—no matter the occupation—tends to diminish over time. Whether it has to do with complacency, office politics, or a myriad of other factors, it seems to be human nature that even the most enthusiastic workers may, on some days, come to think of their chosen profession as a slog. Luckily, I went into sports writing. On Saturday, Rye and Harrison will square off for the Class A girls basketball title at Pace University, and, truth be told, I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a single contest that I had the opportunity to cover. From a purely basketball standpoint alone, this one has all the makings of an instant classic. Sure, Harrison owns two wins over the Garnets this year—last topping Rye 49-46 on Jan. 29— but are they the better team? That certainly remains to be seen. Harrison may have the best allaround player on the floor on Saturday in Canisius-bound senior Avery LaBarbera, but Rye is per-

haps the deeper, more balanced offensive squad, with sophomore Teaghan Flaherty and freshman Amanda Latkany leading the way for a team that, when it’s clicking, moves the ball better than just about any other group I’ve seen. Both the Huskies and Garnets play great team defense, a credit to their respective coaching staffs, and feature girls who are more than willing to give up their bodies if it

means making a stop. For a hardnosed, old-school basketball fan, this game looks like a can’t-miss showdown between two teams who, at the moment, are playing as well as they have all season. But when it comes to a game between Harrison and Rye, all the on-court juice can sometimes take a backseat to the longstanding rivalry between the two communities. Throughout the last century, the Huskies and Garnets have been cast as bitter rivals, Westchester’s equivalent to the Red Sox and Yankees. But while much of the rivalry’s shine comes from the wars the two towns have waged on the gridiron, you would be remiss to overlook the fierce battles that Rye and Harrison have also had on the hardwood for the last few years. There have been few leagues— in any sport—that have been as competitive and compelling as the one that the Garnets and Huskies have played in over the last several seasons. The successes of Rye, Harrison, Eastchester and Pelham have all been instrumental in raising the profile of local girls’ hoops squads, and any time two of the teams square off, area fans know that they’re going to be in for a well-played, back-andforth—and sometimes chippy— affair. But beneath that rivalry is a deep-seated sense of respect between the squads, one that was never more apparent than last year when Harrison’s girls showed up to cheer on the Garnets in a

first-round playoff contest against—guess who—Pelham. It’s the kind of thing that warms the heart of a sportswriter; young players who can look past the history of a rivalry to support a their competitors out of their love for the sport. Of course, that’s not to say I ex-
pect too many pleasantries to be exchanged on Saturday. Harrison comes into the game with a chance to win the program’s first-ever Section I crown, while the Garnets, who won in 2016, have gotten to this point by refusing to back down from any challenge. It’s going to be a knockdown,
drag-out fight; one that both student bodies are bound to remember for years to come, and I’m going to have a front row seat. Sometimes, my job is pretty darn cool.

QUARTERFINALS
MAMARONECK 49 SPRING VALLEY 42 MAMARONECK HS
2/23/16
Game Notes: • Will Sarkozi led the Tigers with 15 points • Mamaroneck will make its first semifinal appearance since 1971 • The Tigers will play Tappan Zee on Feb. 28, after press time By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor
“We started getting steals and taking charges and I think that helped us get into a rhythm,” he said. “And that definitely helped me because I was having trouble getting my shot off earlier in the game.” Despite Mamaroneck’s solid effort, Spring Valley would prove to be a game opponent, taking its first lead of the game with under a minute left in the third quarter on a three-point play by freshman Jaheim Parinello. Mamaroneck refused to cave, however, and regained control for good with two minutes to go on a jumpshot by senior point guard James Manetta. “We talked about it a lot coming in and James knew it was his last home game ever and he hit that clutch jumper,” Sarkozi said. “I think you saw the desire our guys had not to go home.” With the win, the Tigers advance to the semifinals at the Westchester County Center where they will tangle with No. 18 seed Ramapo on Wednesday, Feb. 28, after press time. Ramapo topped Clarkstown South 6865 on Friday afternoon. “This has been special, especially because most people didn’t expect much from us in the beginning of the season,” Sarkozi said. “We’ve had a chip on our shoulders, we wanted to show people what we’re capable of, so this means a lot.”
The last time the Mamaroneck boys basketball program found itself celebrating a trip to the Westchester County Center, “All in the Family” was the top-rated television show in America, The Osmonds were tearing up the pop charts, and Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier were still weeks away from stepping through the ropes at Madison Square Garden for the first of their three legendary bouts. But on Friday, Feb. 23, playing in front of a raucous home crowd, the No. 3 seed Tigers were able to outwork and outlast No. 6 Spring Valley 49-42, breaking a 47-year drought and punching the team’s first ticket to the sectional CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com semifinals since 1971. “It’s a crazy feeling,” Tiger senior forward Jared Bader said after the game. “Coming up, going to the County Center is kind of the thing you always want to happen, but you don’t know if it’s going to, so this is special.” Bader did his best to get Mamaroneck off on the right foot on Friday night, scoring the game’s first 10 points and helping the Tigers head into halftime with a 26-22 lead. But as Spring Valley began to focus its attention on stopping Bader, other Tigers stepped up to fill the offensive void, especially junior center Will Sarkozi who finished with a team-high 15 points. “It wasn’t our game plan, but whenever teams start to faceguard me, it gives more opportunities for other guys to score,” Bader said. “It’s always about the team effort.” Sarkozi added that the Tigers’ offense stemmed, in large part, from the team’s efforts on the other end of the floor.
