Expanded shuttle service for elderly A&P shoppersBy SARAh vARNey

Staff Writer

The Town of Mamaroneck has plans to increase its registra-tion for bus services to provide

a shopping shuttle service to the Stop & Shop store at 1326 E. Boston Post Road on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Currently, the senior center offers regular service on Wednesdays.

With the shuttering of the A&P grocery store at 670 Ma-maroneck Ave., community members expressed concern about the neighborhood’s el-derly residents having access to

food shopping. “I think the com-munity at large expressed some concern,” said Anna Danoy, di-rector of Community Services and Housing for Mamaroneck.

Town Supervisor Nancy Selig-son, a Democrat, expressed sup-port for the plan. “We haven’t re-ally had time to look into the de-tails but it seems like a nice idea,” she said.

The man in charge of the de-tails, Town Administrator Steve Altieri, is eager to get the addi-tional bus trips rolling. “We want to get it started right away to see what demand is. And we need to

see if there are any budget impli-cations,” Altieri said. “We will pick you up to register and then take you back home.”

The goal is to register people who relied on the A&P, but aren’t members of the Mamaroneck Se-nior Center. To register, seniors must show proof of residency and be 62 or older. A flyer adver-tising the registration will go out to the community via Altieri’s office. Under the stipulations of the grant that supports the senior center, both criteria must be met.

About 25 seniors currently use the service, according to

Kathleen Flynn, assistant coor-dinator at the Mamaroneck Se-nior Center.

Each bus can accommodate 10 passengers with bags and pack-ages, Danoy said. The shuttle will make one round trip on Mondays and two trips on Wednesdays.

Procedures for using the bus service won’t change, Danoy said. “New people will have to call and make a reservation for the next trip,” she added.

Reservations must be made at least a day in advance.

Re: Latona’s open letter to library board of trusteesTo the Editor,Last week, you printed an open letter to the Mamaroneck library Board of Trustees that asked ques-

tions I would like to respond to on behalf of the Mamaroneck Public Library Board of Trustees.First, the library has always welcomed community input and involvement. In fact, these very values

are what drove each of our trustees to serve the library in the first place. Our meeting on Oct. 28 followed the printed agenda that caused the board to go into executive ses-

sion to discuss legal matters immediately after opening the meeting. As with all boards, these executive sessions are confidential and closed to the public. However, the board informed the audience that they were welcome to stay and that the board would soon be returning to continue and complete the rest of the meeting.

At that point, a member of the audience stood up and asked to be heard by the board before it moved into the scheduled executive session. This individual indicated that she was an employee and that she was selected by others present to make a statement to the board regarding unionization. A letter was also handed out to the trustees. The board welcomed the comments and provided the speaker with a full op-portunity to be heard. When the designated speaker concluded her comments, she thanked the board, and no one else requested to speak. The board then continued into executive session as originally planned. Nobody else asked to speak to the board that night, and certainly, no person was refused an opportunity to speak.

Second, the letter you printed stated that the staff voted to join a union and asked if we would support their vote. In fact, even though a union has filed a Petition for Certification at the N.Y.S. Public Employ-ment Relations Board, PERB, no union election has taken place. No union has yet been certified as a bargaining representative for any library employee.

The board’s response to the union petition has been simple and straightforward. The board supports the employees’ legal rights to organize and seek union representation; however, the board wants to make sure that each and every affected employee is afforded another fundamental right: the right to participate in a proper and fair election administered by PERB. Ensuring that each affected staff member has a full opportunity to understand all of the issues and to vote in a union election is an essential right that we are committed to upholding on our employees’ behalf. The board would, of course, respect the outcome of any such union election.

I have been a lifelong resident of Mamaroneck, and together with my wife, our three children and their families, we have a deep connection and appreciation for all that the library does.

As trustees, we are charged to act in the best interests of the entire Mamaroneck Public Library com-munity. Please be assured that we continue to do so.

Prop. 1 victory means earlier budget for AstorinoBy SARAh vARNey

Staff Writer

Proposal No. 1, a referen-dum question to move the yearly deadline for the Westchester County executive to submit a budget from Nov. 15 to Oct. 15 for capital projects and back to Nov. 10 for the operating budget was passed overwhelmingly by an 82 percent margin. With 100 percent of Westchester County’s 949 districts reporting as of press time, there were 71,335 votes in favor of the change and 15,146 votes against it.

The earlier deadline will give both community members and members of the county Board of Legislators more time to review County Executive Rob Astori-no’s budget and to ask questions.

Moving up the budget dates required a change to the County Charter, which had not been al-tered since 2000 when the last Westchester countywide refer-endum was on a ballot.

The proposal is one of 16 ideas that has come out of the Charter Review Commission, a Board of Legislators commit-

tee set up in 2011. The commis-sion’s charter was to review the county rules and to make ad-visements on changes that might benefit the legislative process.

County Legislator Sheila Marcotte, an Eastchester Re-publican, reviewed the referen-dum proposal as chairwoman of the legislators’ Budget and Ap-propriations Committee, as did county Legislator Virginia Perez, a Yonkers Democrat, as chair-woman of the Legislative Com-mittee. Both expressed support

for the proposal prior to Election Day and the Westchester League of Women Voters also gave the referendum the green light.

Not surprisingly, Marcotte was pleased with the approval of the referendum. “This was a no-brainer. It’s just a matter of good government. I’m delight-ed,” she said.

The 2015 budget for Westches-ter County is $1.8 billion. The 2016 proposed budget is due Nov. 15, as the change to the charter will not take effect until the 2017 budget cycle and according to published reports there is current-ly a $25 million shortfall.

A representative from Astori-no’s office said the county exec-utive had supported the change.

Sigma Alpha Mu unwelcome at SUNY Purchase By JAMeS PeRO

Staff Writer

Purchase College has never been known for its Greek life; primarily because—unlike most other universities—it’s never had any.

But for the first time in the SUNY school’s history, a group of students is actively sowing the seeds of what they hope could be the college’s first-ever school -recognized fraternity: Sigma Alpha Mu, otherwise known as “Sammies.”

Ari Vizzo, 19, a sophomore studio composition major at Pur-chase, as well as the currently un-recognized fraternity’s treasurer, is—with his 14 fraternity broth-ers—intent on bringing Greek life to the school in an official capacity; even if most members of the student body don’t want them there.

“A lot of kids aren’t in support of us being here,” Vizzo said.

Since its inception, Purchase College has never been espe-cially welcoming to fraternities and sororities. Founded in 1967 as a bastion for the visual, per-forming and liberal arts, its goal was to foster an environment in which all cultural identities could flourish.

According to Ernie Palmieri, vice president of student affairs at Purchase, neither fraternities nor sororities were a part of that vision.

“Since the inception of the college in the late 1960s, the founding administration at the time did not want fraternities or sororities to be part of Purchase College’s campus culture,” he said. “This in part was due to the problems experienced at other college campuses around the country with Greek organiza-tions during this time period.”

Now, he said, keeping in tra-dition with the original found-ers of the school, Purchase Col-lege plans to continue the same policy.

“The following administra-tions since the college’s found-ing have maintained this policy to the present day,” he said in a prepared statement.

In addition to Purchase’s long tradition of eschewing fraterni-ties and sororities, official school policy states that no group or organization can discriminate based on gender, religion, or any other variety of factors,

making fraternities like Sigma Alpha Mu—which requires that its members identify as male—much more difficult to gain rec-ognition at Purchase compared to other universities.

According to Vizzo, despite the obvious appeal to being recognized by the university—school funding and resources chief among them—he said he would like the non-discrimina-tion provision of recognized or-ganizations to stay.

“While [school recognition] would be amazing…I don’t want that discrimination policy to be changed,” he said, noting that changing such a rule could open the door for gender-based and other forms of discrimination.

Still, such obstacles haven’t stopped the group of 14 students from pushing forward to legiti-mize their fraternity’s colony at the school. According to Vizzo, the brothers hope that soon, their fraternity will become chartered with Sigma Alpha Mu’s national organization.

“We’re a colony,” Vizzo ex-plained, noting that such a dis-tinction is the official first step toward becoming a legitimate fraternity. “They let you run things as if you are a chapter un-til we prove we can handle things on our own.”

Since word of Sigma Alpha Mu’s presence on campus has spread, a significant portion of Purchase’s student body has ral-lied to prevent the fraternity’s foray into campus life. Accord-ing to Cassidy Hammond, a ju-nior anthropology major at the college and president of Femi-nists Organizing Real Trans-formation Here, FORTH, the school-sanctioned feminist club, the sentiments from students have been far from welcoming.

“There’s a large group of the population that says ‘No, we don’t want [a fraternity],’” Ham-mond said. “A lot of people come up to me and are like…‘I think it’s really dangerous.’”

According to Hammond, much of the student body’s con-cern has centered around the is-sue of safety, which critics of the fraternity say could be jeop-ardized by bringing an institu-tion like Sigma Alpha Mu to the campus.

While rattling off disconcert-ing statistics about sexual as-sault, hazing, in addition to drug and alcohol abuse, Hammond explained that fraternities can bring a myriad of problems to campus life.

“I don’t think of them as in-herently dangerous people,” said Hammond, referring to the mem-bers of Sigma Alpha Mu. “I think the institution [of fraternities] is really dangerous.”

Though the unrecognized fra-ternity is still somewhat new to the campus, Hammond said that discussions between members of FORTH and Sigma Alpha Mu have already occasionally turned into full-blown confrontations.

During a meeting held by FORTH in which members were invited to discuss their sentiments about a fraternity coming to the college’s campus, Hammond said members of Sigma Alpha Mu made an unexpected appearance that turned contentious quickly.

“It got pretty intense,” she said, adding that the meeting digressed into an argument between about 10 fraternity members and 15 FORTH members after concerns over the fraternity were voiced.

Vizzo stated that similar con-frontations have erupted when members of the fraternity were approached by students while playing music on campus.

Whether or not Sigma Alpha Mu will go on to become official-ly recognized is still very much in the air according to Vizzo, who cites the student body’s backlash and many administrative bound-aries as major obstacles.

This, however, won’t stop him and his brothers from pushing forward with the idea.

“The end goal is not really official university recognition,” said Vizzo. “It would be more the student body wanting to work with us and join us.”


For the first time in school history, Purchase College is getting an injection of Greek Life as a group of students is actively trying to legitimize a chapter of Sigma Alpha Mu on the school’s campus. File photo

aspects of remodeling. Websites like Houzz and Pinterest allow you to save examples of what you like and share them with others.

The style and color of the cabinets create the main focal point of the kitchen so this is the probably your most important aesthetic choice. However, don’t rely on the colors in a printed piece or on a computer moni-tor because they tend to be less than accurate due to the medium. There is no substitute to seeing the material in person.

The same advice applies to countertops as well. The coun-ter, and its counterpart, the backsplash, establish the second major focal point of the room. Contrasting the color of the counter with that of the cabinets is very popular today; however, you may want a monochromat-ic look, which can be stunning. Granite, marble, quartz, soap-stone, concrete, wood, and stain-less steel are just some of the materials available for coun-tertops. Once the counter is se-lected, the backsplash should be next. The same materials for countertops are available for backsplashes; however, tile is probably the most beautiful and by far the most popular.

The next big part of your fu-ture kitchen is the color and style of the appliances. Do you want them to stand out or fade into the background? Should they be

stainless steel, a solid color, or should they match the cabinets? And, while we’re making deci-sions, let’s not forget some other aspects of the space, including the floor, the walls and the mold-ing. For each component of the project there is an abundance of materials and finishes to select from. Oh, and don’t leave out the hardware. Beautiful knobs can make or break the whole proj-ect. Unless you want handles, instead of knobs.

With all these decisions, if you’re not sure what you want, it pays to work with an experi-enced designer that will assist you with all these choices. Like the “don’t try this at home” dis-claimer you see on TV, I suggest you don’t try this alone unless you are confident in your own ability to put together all the var-ied aspects of your remodeling project.

And now, the day is almost over, and soon I’ll be going home to settle down and watch a little TV. I know that I’ll commit too much time to deciding what to watch, even though it will probably just be another re-run of “Law and Order.”

Kitchen remodeling: don’t try this aloneBy PAul BOOKBiNDeR

After returning home from my usual long day at work, I made myself comfortable in my favorite chair and settled down to watch a little TV. After 15 minutes or so, my wife Liz passed by and asked me what I was watching, at which point I realized that I was still going through the channel guides. In fact, lately, I find myself spend-ing more time looking to see what’s on, rather than watch-ing what’s on, because there are too many choices, even though there’s never anything on.

This phenomenon is not lim-ited to TV programming. In the remodeling world, the choices are voluminous. Hundreds of styles, colors, shapes and sizes of cabinets, countertops, appli-ances and tiles have made deci-sion making very time consum-ing for consumers, unless you’re one of the lucky few who knows exactly what you want. So what can you do to narrow down the choices without losing too much sleep?

Magazines are a good place to find ideas and begin your se-lection process. Here you can see the best of the biggest proj-ects and what is available and popular today. Then, you can scale it down to fit your needs. The Internet has really become the most valuable place to see all

Are you really going to eat that?

“Where’s the milk?” I asked my best friend from high school, Gigi, as I peered into her fridge.

“It’s right there!”“Where?”“There!” But, as Gertrude Stein would

have said—if she were still alive and needed something to pour in her coffee—”There’s no ‘there’ there, only almond milk.”

Gigi shrugged. “That’s what we drink.”

And therein lies a tale. There was no cow’s milk in

Gigi’s fridge, no white bread in her bread box, and no peanut butter in her cabinets, only al-mond butter. Without even real-izing it, Gigi had become what we used to call a health nut, but now apparently is just a health mainstreamer, leaving good ole milk-drinking, Wonder Bread-loving, candy-gobblers like me behind. Folks who still eat hot dogs, if you can believe that, de-spite WNYC reporting recently: “The World Health Organiza-tion Says Processed Meat is Bad for You. BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD! Donate now, be-fore you drop dead.” Simply by standing in place, I’d become ab-normal, like a gal still wild about Earth Shoes. Or Jeb Bush.

Everyone else today is eating or juicing something they never thought they’d eat—or even con-sider food. A guy I know—who was briefly a pro football play-

er—just mentioned he is into hemp hearts.

Hemp has a heart? It’s legal to eat? He says he mixes the hearts into cheesy eggs, which sounds somewhere between revolting and felonious.

But hemp is just one of those things that people say, “I’m into now,” like kombucha—the stuff in bottles that looks like pond water. And chia! If chia can go from pet to food, what hope is there for puppies? Another high school friend of mine (they’re all turning!) now “cheats” by eating chia pudding.

Cheats on what? Gently-sautéed pine needles? Liver smoothies? How is it cheating to eat something so healthy that it still grosses at least a portion of the population out? “MARCY!” I typed at her. “You were the one who introduced me to the food that is totally worth cheating with: Hostess Fruit Pies. What happened?”

She typed back (where would we be, friendship-wise, without Facebook?): “Chia pudding is made with chia seeds, almond milk, cacao (or, for those that still speak English, cocoa), ma-ple syrup and vanilla extract. As the seeds soak, they become tap-ioca-like. Makes a yummy pud-ding. Hostess Fruit Pies! I forgot about those.”

FORGOT?I know, I know—people’s

tastes change, and change is good. My friend Sue is eating beets now. She used to spit them out back when beets were on everyone’s shelf in a can. Then

recently, someone convinced her to eat them for good luck and she gave them an open-minded nibble. Now Sue’s a beet-fiend. A beet-nik. I worry that it’s the gateway to hemp hearts! And others are opening up to celery root. All those ancient grains are taking over, too. Not for nothing do they call it Faro.

The problem is not that peo-ple’s tastes are shifting—tastes always shift. It’s that they seem to be lurching. “I got all into try-ing to go vegan, then I got into paleo—huge shift, I know,” I read a mom confess online.

The soy milk folks are get-ting into butter. The pescatarians are trying pork. The NutraSweet crowd is swearing by Stevia. And I wasn’t going to mention kale, but it’s the elephant in the kitchen.

“It’s an aspirational vegeta-ble,” explains Nancy McDer-mott, an independent research-er and advisor for the website Park Slope Parents. “It’s also very pretty. I saw a nice kale tattoo on Facebook the other day. But eating it, preparing it, is difficult. I hate having to cut out the stalks, and rolling the leaves and cutting them. And as for bruising it, I think you’d have to sleep with it under the mattress to make it tender enough to eat.”

By the time we are sleeping with our kale, all bets are off. It’s driving me to drink.

But not kombucha with al-mond milk.

One of my favorite postgame celebration moments ever came in 2013 after the Detroit Tigers clinched a playoff berth. The Tigers’ manager Jim Leyland, a notoriously prickly customer, was speaking with a few report-ers outside of the clubhouse when the enormity of the situa-tion seemed to sneak up on him. While discussing his team’s achievements that year, the base-ball lifer began to stumble over his words, his eyes welling up, until he was rescued by veter-an outfielder Torii Hunter, who hoisted up the 67-year-old skip-per and carried him out of the room and into the midst of the players’ celebration. Leyland was then doused in champagne and beer, and performed a nifty moonwalk to the raucous cheers of his ballclub.

Simply put, it was an almost-perfect celebration.

I was reminded of Leyland and the Tigers on Saturday, as I found myself on the sidelines at Yorktown High School for the Class AA football championship.

With a 44-25 win over John Jay on Nov. 7, the New Rochelle Huguenots won their first section title since 2012. But out of ev-erything about New Rochelle’s play—the big defensive stops, the offensive explosion—it was

how they celebrated their win that is going to stick with me.

New Rochelle’s players were hardly uniform in their reactions, and with more than 50 players suited up on the sidelines, how could they be? Sophomore run-ning back Jared Baron, a young-ster who has emerged as one of the section’s top players quite early on in his short varsity ca-reer, had a delirious ear-to-ear grin as he bounded across the field to hug his teammates. Se-nior lineman Justin Cossifos, who helped anchor the Hugue-nots’ defense all year, got his hands on the Section I cham-pionship plaque and stared at

it in disbelief, almost like he couldn’t quite comprehend what he and his teammates had just accomplished.

And then there was quarter-back Greg Powell.

For a team as deep as New Rochelle, one that has succeeded not because of one player’s ef-forts but a collective team play, Powell’s spot as the starting quarterback has made him the de facto face of the program, some-thing that was certainly not lost on him as he broke down in the arms of teammates and coaches after the final whistle blew.

land was lifted from his shoul-ders on Saturday, and his rec-ognition of that was a beautiful thing to watch.

Of course, New Rochelle’s story isn’t over yet.

With their regional final matchup with Newburgh loom-ing on Nov. 14, the Huguenots were back at work on Monday, getting ready to tackle their lat-est challenge.

But on Saturday, none of that mattered. The only thing on the minds of New Rochelle’s play-ers and fans was letting the pro-gram’s biggest win in three years sink in.

They’ll have all week to come down from their win over John Jay, but at least they got the chance to enjoy the ride for a few minutes.

And isn’t that why we all love sports?

Tigers head to statesBy MiKe SMiThSports Editor

On Nov. 7, Mamaroneck punched its ticket to the state semifinals, topping Section IX’s Maine-Endwell 4-2 at Valhalla High School. Although the Spar-tans were able to mount a late comeback, Mamaroneck’s early lead held up as the Tigers cele-brated another trip to states.

Lizzie Clarke, who has been one of Mamaroneck’s most valu-able offensive weapons this sea-son, scored the Tigers’ first goal midway through the first half on a corner chance before Emily Mahland made the score 2-0 on a diving shot with 2:32 left in the opening stanza. Clarke’s second goal—the eventual game win-ner—came off a beautiful defen-sive stop that turned into a long run the other way after the half. She would add her third and fi-nal goal with just under a minute remaining.

“Awesome is probably the

best way to describe [Lizzie’s] performance,” head coach John Savage said. “She kind of put us on her back and scored the goals that we needed to win.”

Although the Tigers were dominant from the opening whistle, the Spartans were able to turn the tide late in the game, scoring two unanswered goals to cut the Tigers’ lead to one with five minutes left to play. Need-ing to mount some offense, Maine-Endwell was able to con-trol the ball and force several key corner opportunities. Sam Palmer and Ally Missavage both found the net during the furious comeback attempt.

“It was a combination of things; they were desperate, and desperate measures require desperate means,” Savage said. “They were outhustling us to the ball, but Lizzie’s third goal, you could see, really deflated them.”

On Nov. 14, the Tigers will be back in action in the state semifinals against Section VI champion Williamsville North at Maine-Endwell High School near Binghamton. The two teams have squared off before, meeting in the 2010 state ti-tle game, which Williamsville North won 1-0.

“[Section VI] only has a few ‘A’ teams, and they’re consis-tently among the top,” Savage said. “They’ve beaten some quality teams this year.”

Williamsville North topped

Section V’s Webster Schroeder 1-0 in the regionals and currently sits at 16-2 on the season. They are are led by standout center midfielder Clare Ahern, a play-er Savage said his girls must be ready to stay with on Saturday.

“They’ve got a couple of good players, and [Ahern] is legiti-mate,” Savage said. “She’s the go-to person and we’re going to have to be aware of her.”
