Securing additional funding for a flood mitigation project at the Bronxville School is prov-ing difficult, so the plan now, upon recommendation from New York State’s Office of Emergency Management, has evolved to complete the proj-ect in two phases, according to the village administrator.

The trouble started when the lowest bid came in around $4 million higher than antici-pated to cover the total costs associated with the project. That would place the project at approximately $11 mil-lion, up significantly from the original $6.9 million estimate. Village Administrator James Palmer told the Review that FEMA, the federal disaster-relief agency, will still honor paying 75 percent of the cost, with the remaining 25 percent share coming from both the village and school. Though both amounts will now have to be boosted higher and addi-

Bronxville flood project splits in twotional funding secured through various channels.

To this end, the village ad-ministrator said his office has been in contact with U.S. Rep. Eliot Engel, whose congres-sional district covers Bronx-ville, with another possibility to secure funding through the U.S. Department of Education.

The FEMA portion will also have to be raised, but this can only happen once anoth-er storm hits and the agency reopens eligibility to repair damages, though Palmer said he wasn’t sure the radius of where the storm had to happen in relation to Bronxville for the village to receive aid.

The joint flood project will install a series of pipes un-der the Bronxville School’s playing fields to catch severe floodwater so it doesn’t re-surface and cause damage to school property. Floodwater would be re-routed toward the Bronx River and a pump sta-tion will be built adjacent to the field.

This idea, initially proposed

in 2007, comes in response to a series of severe storms that left the school flooded and having to face millions in damages.

But the plan has now evolved to split the project into two phases in an effort to use the funding that’s avail-able now, and finish the proj-ect once additional resources have been secured.

Phase one will run with the originally approved funding in mind, laying the underground force system, which is the se-ries of pipes, with a storm wa-ter pumping unit and the adja-cent pump station. This phase is intended to be fully opera-tional to combat flood waters and can withstand a one-in-20-year strength storm, ac-cording to the village admin-istrator. Even so, the idea is to still move ahead with phase two to avoid damages from higher-intensity storms.

Phase two will complete the project with the installation of the remaining storm water pumping units.

“Most of the money is the force main piping system with the pumps at half-a-million a piece,” Palmer said.

When phase one will begin

is still unclear as Palmer said, although the office of emer-gency management hatched this idea, it still needs to give the village the green light,

which the village administra-tor anticipates will be later this month.

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s

Did you know that every 67 seconds an Ameri-can is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s? Or that the price tag for this disease, which has no cure, no ef-fective treatment or way in which its course can be slowed, will total $226 billion in the U.S. in 2015 alone? Alzheimer’s affects more people in the U.S. than any of the other top 10 diseases, yet it receives the least financial support.

The Walk to End Alzheimer’s is the single great-est source of funding for research, education and treatment. Please join the walk with your spirit and energy. To locate a walk, for information on how to form a team, join a team, contribute time or make a donation, visitalz.org/hudsonvalley. The 2015 walk for Westchester County is taking place on Sunday, Oct. 4, meeting at the White Plains High School, 550 North St., near the Bryant Avenue entrance.

Eastchstchst estechestech resteresteTEaTEaHEEaHEEastHEstREVIREVIRE EW Neil degrasse Tyson talks science

and news at manhattanvilleBy James Pero

Staff Writer

One of the first things that famed astrophysicist Dr. Neil Degrasse Tyson did upon taking the stage for a lecture at Manhat-tanville’s Reid Castle was temper any undue expectations.

“So, I’m just alerting you in advance,” he said, addressing the fully-packed auditorium. “There will be no song or dance; I don’t play the piano.”

What Tyson did offer, howev-er, was his perspective.

“This is an exercise in look-ing at the world through the lens of an astrophysicist,” he said. “When I read the newspaper, maybe I see it a little differently from how you see it.”

On Sept. 9, as a part of Manhattanville’s continuing lecture series, Castle Conversations, Tyson—a famed astrophysicist, author, and TV host of Fox’s Emmy award-winning series “Cosmos”—took the stage, not to awe the audience with his vast knowledge of our universe, but to engage attendees in a category just about everyone is familiar with: the news.

“News stories, politics, soci-ety, there are things that happen and you’ll see how I saw them,” said Tyson.

Throughout the course of his hour-and-a-half long lecture, Ty-son stayed true to his mission, weaving through topics both per-sonal and universal. In one of Ty-son’s opening subjects, he tack-led the fervent public blowback “Cosmos” experienced after an-nouncing that his reboot of the original series, which was hosted by Carl Sagan in 1980, would ap-pear on Fox in March 2014.

“I told people I’m going to host ‘Cosmos,’ and people said ‘Oh, that’s great! Is it going to be on PBS?’ I said no. ‘How about Discovery Channel?’ No. ‘Science Channel?’ No. ‘Well, where?’ And I said, on Fox,” Ty-son proclaimed to a roar of audi-ence laughter. “That’s when the liberal folks started shaking and frothing at the mouth.”

Tyson went on to explain that although Fox has come to be known for the “acerbic” conser-

vative commentary featured on Fox News, it is also the same company—or conglomerate of companies—that gave audiences everything from the movie “Ava-tar” to beloved shows like “The Simpsons.”

This reality, he explained, re-ferring to the notion that “Cos-mos” would be broadcast on one of the most diverse networks on TV, is “an extraordinary fact.”

“It meant that science was no longer relegated to the science ghetto channels of the high num-bers,” Tyson said. “If there’s one thing we wanted ‘Cosmos’ to do, it was [to] reach the widest au-dience possible, and that would not have happened on other channels.”

In many ways, Tyson has, in recent years, enjoyed a success similar to that of Fox’s “Cosmos.” He has successfully—where many academics of his caliber have failed—brought a passion for science and the universe to the masses.

For proof of that, “Cosmos’” critical acclaim isn’t the only ba-rometer; there’s also Tyson’s Twit-ter account, which boasts a whop-ping 4.2 million followers—a number that Tyson will gladly ex-plain is exponentially larger than the likes of any of his kin.

However, Tyson’s academic background isn’t the only force driving his unprecedented main-

stream appeal. Underlying that success has always been his hall-mark mixture of wit and candor that, at times, seems to boil over into borderline contempt—es-pecially for those on the wrong side of science.

In one moment during Ty-son’s Reid Castle lecture, he scolded journalists for spreading misleading information about “super moons,” which he ex-plains, to scale, are like order-ing a “super” pizza which is 8.03 inches as opposed to 8. In the next moment, he catapulted the audience into laughter by point-ing out the absurdity of U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, the Republican chairman of the Senate Subcom-mittee on Space, denouncing the existence of manmade climate change.

More than anything, Tyson successfully instilled in the audi-ence the same yearning for em-pirical knowledge that he, as one of very few astrophysicists in the world, has made a career of.

In the midst of a tirade con-cerning the safety concerns of genetically-modified foods, or in his opinion, a lack thereof, Tyson took a rare pause from his animated lecture.

“You can choose to not want [them],” he said. “But do so from an informed position.”

One of Tyson’s biggest laughs from the audience came after a joke about how hot the chapel was. “We’re in this chapel and everyone is sweating and waving fans, I feel like there should be gospel music playing,” he said.

When announcing the effort to leverage new private dollars to support the cultural life of West-chester, County Executive Rob Astorino, Board of Legislators Chairman Michael Kaplowitz and ArtsWestchester President Froma Benerofe are urging pri-vate donors to make their dollars count for double by contributing to eligible organizations through Dec.15. The $180,000 in funds will be matched by ArtsWest-chester for up to $5,000 per or-ganization on a competitive first-come basis.

“This public-private partner-ship has proven to be successful in raising $1.9 million in private dollars to support the arts over the program’s seven years,” As-torino said. “Government alone cannot support all of the worth-while needs of this county. In partnering with ArtsWestchester, we are harnessing our resourc-es to build greater support for our cultural assets and in turn for our economy.”

“The arts are an important economic engine for the county,

bringing an economic impact of $156 million in annual spending and 4,800 jobs to Westchester,” Kaplowitz said. “This is pre-cisely why it’s important that we make every effort to support the cultural sector in ways that stim-ulate new resources.”

The program is simple and direct: supporters of qualified arts organizations donate funds, which then may be matched through the Art$WChallenge program. Only “new” dollars will be matched (recurring dona-tions or grants are not eligible) and the funds are unrestricted. While organizations aren’t limit-ed in what they can raise through donations, the match is capped at $5,000.

Last year, 41 nonprofit orga-nizations participated in the pro-gram, including Hudson Stage Company, Jazz Forum Arts, the Neuberger Museum, Tarrytown Music Hall, The Picture House, Youth Theater Interactions and Westchester Philharmonic.

Lynn Honeysett, executive director of the Pelham Arts Cen-

ter, said, “The Art$WChallenge program has allowed us to more effectively reach underserved communities: at-risk teens, se-niors and people challenged by physical and mental disabilities, particularly young people.”

A recent report from West-chester County showed that visitor spending, which includes cultural and artistic venues and attractions, grew by 14 percent to more than $200 million over five years and that it supported 23,681 jobs in Westchester, or roughly 6 percent of all jobs in the county. At the same time, tourism generated $207.7 mil-lion in revenue for the county and local municipalities, further showing that such investment in the arts, events and cultural of-ferings provide significant re-turns and are vital to the regional economy.

“The Art$WChallenge is a proven and effective way to sup-port some of Westchester’s lead-ing cultural organizations that contribute to the vibrant quality of life in Westchester County,”

ArtsWestchester begins fundraising challenge

said Janet Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester. “In the seven years of the challenge grant pro-gram, arts organizations have raised more than [$1.877 mil-

lion] with ArtsWestchester pro-viding an additional $1.1 mil-lion in matching funds. The total $2.9 million investment in the arts is a win-win for county resi-

dents, arts groups and the econo-my. We are extremely pleased to continue this valuable partner-ship with Westchester County.” (Submitted)

town that she still lives here. Vir-ginia’s ancestors rank among the most influential families in the history of New York state (e.g. Fish, Fowler, Bowne, Reynolds, et al.). Virginia was also honored at the Bronxville Field Club in December 2014 by the Daughters of the American Revolution. The widow of former Commissioner of Planning and Community De-velopment Robert Hefti, Muzzy, as she is known to friends and family, thrice served as Regent of the White Plains Chapter DAR; is a lifetime member of the DAR Officers Club; a member of the DAR Roundtable; a member of the Anne Hutchinson-Bronxville Chapter DAR; a member of the Westchester County Genealogi-cal Society; served as a councilor to the New York State Chapter of the National Society Daughters of Founders and Patriots of America and is an avid genealogy research-er, having corrected the historic records of the National Archives

What makes reporting on the fascinating history of the Town of Eastchester so engaging is that new information is discov-ered about our storied past that can change our perceptions of who we are and where we came from. It has long been known that the historic Town of East-chester was founded in 1664 by Puritan farm families from Fair-field, Conn. The original site of the first settlement was just east of the Hutchinson River near present day Co-Op City in the Bronx.

In those early years, those first families set up a co-oper-ative farming community cen-tered about a village green, around which for almost two decades, they lived on equal size lots, and left each day to separate fields where they raised livestock and produce, most of which was shipped to nearby Manhattan for sale. Starting in

1665 and continuing for the next 17 years, the male heads of house-holds signed or made their mark on a document named the East-chester Covenant that insisted that people in the community follow the biblically-based moral prin-ciples of integrity, compassion, cooperation and reverence. The Eastchester Covenant is the only surviving one in New York state and it affords a window into our mid to late 17th century past.

During last year’s celebration of the 350th anniversary of the town, more information has been forthcoming about the contribu-tion of those founding families to the colonial and revolutionary heritage of Eastchester. The East-chester Historical Society hon-ored one of those, Virginia Hefti, at its annual fundraising dinner on Sept. 18 in which a re-enactor Jack Sherry brought Ben Franklin back to life.

Virginia Hefti is a direct de-scendent of Henry Fowler, one of the town’s founders and the 17th man to sign the covenant. Henry Fowler, English-born and a black-smith and miller by trade, brought

his family to settle in Eastches-ter in 1676, two decades after he came to America. He signed our most precious document, the East-chester Covenant, that insisted the moral principles upon which this community be based would be in-tegrity, compassion, cooperation, and reverence. Henry and his wife Rebecca had 11 children, two of which became town supervi-sors. William, one of their sons, married Mary Pearsall Thorne in 1689, two of whose grandpar-ents signed the Flushing Remon-strance, the first written statement of the need for religious freedom in America.

The Fowlers were a prolific family and a power in the com-munity. Moses Fowler, the son of Henry, served as town supervisor for 10 years between 1728 and 1738. As Eastchester supervisor, in May 1729 he delivered to the town meeting papers giving the town sole title to the land that is present day Eastchester, called the Long Reach.

But Moses’ most significant contribution came in 1733 while he was still serving as town super-

visor. A corrupt, royal governor had tried to fix an election for a representative to the colonial as-sembly. Moses was a vote counter for that famous election. A Dutch printer named John Peter Zenger used this incident in the first issue of his newspaper The New York Weekly Journal. While Zenger never set foot in Eastchester and did not write the article, two years later he was put on trial for sedi-tious libel and acquitted. Many years later, Zenger’s acquittal, based on the principle that the press has a responsibility to print the truth, would be used as a de-fense for the First Amendment right of freedom of the press.

During the American Revolu-tion, the Fowler family was bit-terly divided between Patriots and Loyalists. Judge Jonathan Fowler did not support the rebel-lion and for a brief time before the signing of the Declaration of Independence was imprisoned for his Loyalists view. A few months after his release, his son Theodo-sius joined the Continental army. Theodosius fought in the Battle for New York, Saratoga, wintered at Valley Forge, and encountered the British at Monmouth. He was then transferred to upstate New York where he was engaged in savage fighting against the Iro-quois. In 1781, Theodosius, now a captain, rejoined Washington and was present for the surren-der at Yorktown. He would spend the last two years with Washing-ton waiting for the final peace settlement.

In 1787, his loyalist father died and is interned in the family vault at Saint Paul’s. Theodosius be-came one of the richest men in Eastchester and passed away at age 87, a true American hero. He is interned along with his father at Saint Paul’s.

on more than one occasion.New insights into Eastches-

ter’s colonial and revolutionary past have also recently been pro-vided by descendants of founding families like the Shutes, Pinck-neys, Drakes and Tompkins. A special debt of gratitude must go to David Tompkins. David is a direct descendant of Nathaniel and John Tompkins, both sign-ers of the Covenant and among the original 17th century settlers of the town. In 1997, David pub-lished a meticulously researched book on colonial Eastchester from 1666 to 1698. One of his ancestors, Daniel Tompkins of Scarsdale, became vice president of the United States under James Monroe.

Heineken USA executive joins BCW board

Tara Rush, senior vice presi-dent and chief corporate re-lations officer for Heineken USA, has joined the Board of Directors for The Business Council of Westchester, the county’s largest and most in-fluential business organization recently announced.

After being elected to the board, Rush joined leaders from companies and nonprofits large and small including IBM, BNY Mellon Wealth Man-agement, Con Edison, Entergy and MasterCard, who help guide and drive the mission of The BCW. Rush replaced Stacey M. Tank, who served on the Board of Directors for several years.

“Tara Rush represents the continuation of a long term special partnership The BCW has had with Heineken USA,” said Marsha Gordon, president and CEO of The BCW. “Heineken USA’s support on a BCW leadership level has enabled the growth of our organization and their special involvement with Rising Stars alumni program has helped to create dynamic and exciting opportunities for our young professional members. We’re so pleased to have her working with us.”

In her role at Heineken USA, Rush is responsible for elevating brands in the hearts and minds of vital stakeholders, including consumers, industry part-ners, employees, national and municipal leaders, and the communities in which the company operates.

Rush joined Heineken USA in 2013 as senior di-rector of corporate communications. Previously, she was a director at Emanate, a midsize public relations agency, where she led consumer-marketing and so-cial-relevance campaigns for a number of leading CPG and travel clients. Prior to Emanate, Rush led public relations at Mars, Inc. and held roles in the consumer marketing practices at Ketchum, Edelman and Weber Shandwick in New York.

Scarsdale Medical Group welcomes new pediatricianAs Nonprofit Westchester, NPW, gears up for

upcoming initiatives including a brand new voter registration campaign to encourage nonprofit em-ployees to vote, and its annual #GivingTuesday movement to encourage the local community to support their choice charity, new nonprofits have joined the organization.

Those new members include Girls Incorporated of Westchester County, Northeast STEM Starter Academy, NSSA, at Mount Vernon, formerly the Mount Vernon Technology and Science Youth Center for Advancement, and Endeavor Therapeu-tic Horsemanship, Inc. They are the newest organi-zations to join NPW, which provides the nonprofit sector with a single unified voice for the role it plays in the economic vitality and sustainability of the county.

“We are strong in numbers, so we are so pleased to welcome these three nonprofits to our organi-zation. They all provide something unique to our community,” said Joanna Straub, NPW executive director. “It is through our members that we thrive and we know they will benefit from the resources we provide to enhance their services in the county.”

Since 2008, Girls Incorporated of Westchester County has supported and inspired girls between the ages of 9 and 18 to change their lives and to change the future. In addition to providing direct programs, the organization provides resources for parents and educators, informs policymakers about girls’ issues, educates the media and the public about critical challenges facing girls, and teaches girls in their program how to use their knowledge and strength to promote positive change for them-selves and their communities. Girls Inc. of West-chester’s offices are located in White Plains. For more information, visit girlsincwestchester.org or call 419-0764.

Northeast STEM Starter Academy, NSSA, at Mount Vernon, formerly the Mount Vernon Tech-nology and Science Youth Center for Advance-ment, provides Mount Vernon’s underserved and at-risk public school children with exposure and access to the world of STEM—science, technol-ogy, engineering and math. The 2013-formed center provides families of this challenged com-munity the opportunity to provide their children with a top-tier STEM educational experience that will guide them toward college and meaningful ca-reers. The organization is an independent nonprofit that was created in direct response to the educa-tional issues that cannot be adequately addressed by the public school system due to resource and budget constraints. The organization is currently working toward opening a multilevel, multipur-pose facility for access to interactive exhibits and displays, classrooms, laboratories, a theater and other spaces featuring advanced science and tech-nology to support early adoption and learning.

Dear Tonia:Can you give me some simple

rules to follow for an over-50-year-old woman who has put on a few post-menopausal pounds but still wants to look stylish?

T.K., White Plains

Dear T.K.:Women over 50 typically

experience weight shifts and tend to want to cover up, but covering up is not the answer. Clothes that are too loose don’t give you any shape and cloth-ing that is too tight will tend to make you look bigger. Wear clothing with the right fit that defines the waist. A good bra will make a huge difference in the fit. Don’t wear styles that make you look like you are try-ing too hard to look young. It will only age you.

Choose clothing that you are comfortable in and that doesn’t require tugging. Be sure not to apply too much makeup, es-pecially foundation or lipstick that is too dark. Keep it light and simple. Dark hair will tend to reveal facial lines. Being comfortable in your own skin will make you look confident and confidence is what will

enable you to exude your own natural beauty, at any age.

Dear Tonia:I am going on a three-day-

long casual getaway weekend and never know what to bring. I always overpack and usually wind up not wearing most of what I brought. Can you give me some advice on packing?

B.H., Mamaroneck

Dear B.H.:Women tend to overpack be-

cause we are mood creatures and like to be prepared for any state of mind. A simple rule to pack-ing for a three-day trip is to fol-low my “Noah’s Arc” system that never fails.

Pack your intimate apparel along with two pieces of cloth-ing in each category in black and white, and then add color. Pack two T-shirts, two pairs of pants (at least one pair must be jeans), two sweaters, or one sweater and a denim jacket, two tops, two pairs of shorts, and two skirts or two sundresses. Swimsuits and a cover-up are optional. Mix, match and layer these items. Add some great accessories and fun shoes in your favorite colors and you’re ready to go.

Memo to Merriam-Webster: new N.Y. slang

New Yorkers have always had their own slang. We all know that “coffee regular” means coffee with milk and sugar. A “strap-hanger” is a subway rider (though, come to think of it, maybe it’s a bus rider too). And “fughed-daboudit” is a single word.

But we are clearly overdue for an update.

New Slang For New York:

Halal-anon: Meetings for people addicted to lamb over rice.

Quipster: A hipster who lives in Queens.

Tri-asselete: A person who, by a combination of man-spreading, leaning, and glower-ing, manages to take up three seats on the subway.

Celebate: A person who tries to not spot celebrities.

PPB: Short for “phantom phone booth”: a phone booth with only wires left in it.

High Line Line: A line you are likely to hear on the High Line, e.g., “It’s 7:30 in Milan now.” Or, “I could’ve bought that building for $50,000 in ‘78.”

Yellow Cab: Pre-Uber form of transportation.

Square Knot: A crowd of Times Square tourists trying to cross the street that intersects with a crowd of tourists trying to buy $10 handbags.

Coney-ism: Boardwalk em-ployees who send business to other boardwalk establishments. E.g., “Now that you’ve had a hot dog, maybe it’s time for a ride on the Cyclone.”

NO-DOZ: (acronym)The neighborhood Near Or

Directly Opposite Zabar’s.NO-DOZ BRONX: The

neighborhood Near Or Directly Opposite Bronx Zoo.

Blunch: Brunch that com-mences at or past lunchtime.

Tramelot: Nickname reflect-ing Camelot-like hopes for new Cornell Tech campus on Roos-evelt Island.

Churisma: The irresistible allure of a giant pile of churros.

Ferry Godfather: A Mafia don who lives on Staten Island.

Cartio Workout: The exer-cise one gets walking over to the hot dog cart.

Bubblestone: Street or side-walk littered with bubble-shaped tops of frappucino cups.

Lost and Lost: The MTA’s Lost and Found booth.

Late Bloomers: Build-ings and projects begun in the Bloomberg era only now reach-ing completion.

A-Riguez: The side of A-Rod we didn’t see until now.

Cataclysmic Climate Change: The act of entering a freezing subway car from a swel-tering platform, or vice versa.

Tube Jobs: A street fair job, e.g., selling tube socks.

Loughnut: The lone dough-nut left on a doughnut cart.

Speed Lump: A person standing on the left side of the escalator unaware that that side is reserved for people walking.

Mister Loudee: Any ice cream truck that plays music.

Horse Shoo: Nickname for Mayor de Blasio’s initiative to rid Central Park of carriages.

Sick Passenger: Joking eu-phemism for lame excuse. E.g., “I wanted to get to your open-ing, but there was a sick passen-ger.” Or, “A sick passenger ate my homework.”

Eva-lution: The gradual switch from traditional to char-ter schools, often aided by Eva Moskowitz.

Mondo Condo: Nickname for Long Island City.

Shadowfreud: To feel plea-sure in knowing a friend’s luxu-ry apartment will soon be in the shadow of an even more luxuri-ous building.

Smidgeon: A small pigeon.


Is an optional dress code really optional?

Dear Tonia:My wife and I are invited to

attend a black tie event in No-vember. My wife insists that I wear a tuxedo even though it says “optional.” I detest wear-ing a tuxedo and looking like all the other penguins there. Must I wear a tux or are there any alter-natives that will satisfy my wife and the host?

M.R., Scarsdale

Dear M.R.:Proper black tie is a more spe-

cific dress code than any other dress code for men. The true definition of a black tie dress code lies in the details. Black tie for men typically consists of the traditional satin-trimmed tuxedo accompanied by a bow tie, vest or cummerbund, patent leather shoes and a ventless jacket. The word “optional” is just a polite way of reminding you of what you should wear. There is, how-ever, another alternative when assembling a proper black tie outfit. A fine, black, well-fitting dress suit (jacket with matching trousers) can be paired with a shiny, preferably light gray tie, paired with a French cuff white dress shirt, black dress socks and black formal shoes. You might want to add a vest to match the tie and pocket square.

Keep in mind that few men

I’ll be completely honest with you: I don’t quite know yet where I stand on Matt Harvey.

Unless you have been hid-ing under a rock for the last two weeks, the saga of the Dark Knight has been un-avoidable. With the surg-ing Mets heading for their first postseason berth since 2006, the issue of Harvey and his innings limit has reared its ugly head; and Harvey’s agent, Scott Boras, has clashed with Mets’ brass about the potential overuse of the right-hander.

Harvey’s people claim that the Amazin’s were in danger of pushing Harvey past the 180-inning limit recommend-ed by Dr. James Andrews, who performed Tommy John

Defending the Dark Knightsurgery on the ace in 2013.

The Mets, predictably, balked at that assertion.

The result has been the sort of infighting, double-talk and uncertainty that has been the Mets’ calling card over the last decade or so.

Perhaps it is no coinci-dence that the Mets—who are still a near-lock to clinch the NL East—have struggled down the stretch, dropping back-to-back series against the Marlins and the Yankees.

Everything came to a head on Sept. 19 when Harvey, tossing a one-hitter against the Yankees, was lifted after the fifth inning and a shaky Mets’ bullpen imploded to gift the game to the Bombers.

A loss to the Yankees, pre-cipitated by a premature Har-vey exit?

That was a perfect storm for Mets fans who flooded sports talk shows the follow-

ing day, demanding the front office ship the righty away as soon as possible.

Mets fans know that, given the acrimony between Harvey and the front office, it’s high-ly unlikely that he will resign here once he hits free agency. If that’s the case, they feel, why not push him now, while the Mets have a shot at the title.

After all, look at what hap-pened to the Nationals when they shut down flamethrow-er Stephen Strasburg a few years back.

Harvey, some fans opine, is too concerned with preserv-ing his arm—and the chance for a huge payday down the road—and his selfishness is sabotaging the Mets’ postsea-son chances. After all, they say, nobody ever had Tom Seaver on an innings limit.

But it’s not that simple. In my mind, Harvey is in a

tough spot. Of course he has to think about his future. He could be leaving hundreds of millions of dollars on the table if he throws caution to the wind and ends up going under the knife again. On the other hand, he has a duty to the team to help them win ballgames to the best of his ability.

The real kicker, however, is the fact that arm health is an inexact science at best. The 180-innings limit is arbitrary. He could have gone out in his first start of the season and reinjured the elbow. He could throw more than 200 innings this year and be the picture of health. We just don’t know.

What we do know, is that it’s in the best interests of both Harvey and the Mets to figure this thing out as soon as possible. They’ve got a chance to do something spe-cial this year; let’s just hope they don’t ruin a promising star in the process.

After giving up an early goal to Briarcliff on Sept. 17, the Bronxville Broncos were able to hang tough and outlast the Bears, beating the visitors 3-2 for their fifth win of the season. Although the Broncos have already com-piled a 5-1 record this season, head coach Donny Lucas knows that his team will be tested in the coming weeks with games against teams like Edgemont and Spring Valley.

Sam Aherne scored twice in Bronxville’s win on Thursday, and teammate Jeb Burnell added a goal of his own as the Broncos’ strong second-half showing was enough to push them past Briarcliff.

According to Lucas, the Bron-cos’ ability to apply consistent pressure throughout made the difference against the Bears. Bronxville had plenty of chances

Broncos bury Bearsagainst the Bears and were fi-nally able to wear the road team down enough to come away with the win.

“We had possession, but pos-session doesn’t always win games,” Lucas said. “It was a good test for us, we had to keep our composure and I think it taught our guys that they need to be ready to play the full 80 minutes.”

That test couldn’t have come at a better time for the Broncos, who are gearing up for a two-week stretch against some of the top competition in the area. Bronxville will host league foe Edgemont—currently ranked as the 10th best team in the state—on Sept. 24 before taking on Class AA Spring Valley in the Westchester-Rockland Chal-lenge at Lakeland High School on Sept. 26. On Oct. 1, Bronx-ville will see Edgemont again.

Edgemont is coming off its

first defeat of the season, a 1-0 loss to Class A Pelham in over-time on Sept. 19. Pelham stand-out Sam Teller notched the gold-en goal in the 85th minute to down the Panthers, who, along with Bronxville and undefeated Valhalla, are one of the top teams in Class B.

“Edgemont is always a very talented program, they’re al-ways in contention,” Lucas said. “Their coaches always do a great job and they’re a team that never gives up.”

If Bronxville is to be success-ful, he added, the team will need big performances from veteran players like Aherne and goalie Joe Pepe.

“It always helps to have a good goalie, but we do have a lot of weapons,” Lucas said. “Sam [Aherne] is our main target, but we have a lot of other guys, too.”
