Local Lawmakers and Gun Violence Prevention Advocates Sign Woodstock Stage Panel in Support of Common-Sense Gun Laws

Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America along with State, County, and local Hudson Valley lawmakers gathered in White Plains to sign a panel from the original 1969 Woodstock stage. The signing is in support of federal common-sense gun reforms, including background checks on all gun sales and red flag laws.

Senator David Carlucci said: “We sent the message to Washington that Hudson Valley lawmak-ers at every level of government will not tolerate the carnage of another mass shooting or gun vio-lence in our country. By signing the Woodstock stage panel, we stood in unity and in support of a country focused on its best days ahead, without deadly gun violence. I thank advocates, Moms De-mand Action and Peace of Stage for their tremendous activism for safer communities.”

Steve Gold, Co-founder of Peace of Stage said: “Woodstock was all about music, peace and a huge instant community of people caring for each other. The original stage panel symbolizes that unity and social activism.”

Volunteers with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America from Westchester and Rock-land Counties showed their support by signing the panel, which will be delivered by Gold to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in Washington, D.C.

Naomi Marrow, Westchester Local Group Legislative Lead, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America said: "We are in a rolling national nightmare of escalating gun violence and Moms Demand Action is pressing the Senate to immediately pass background checks on all gun purchases and a comprehensive Red Flag law. We should not live in fear of gun violence and must raise our voices to enact sensible laws to protect Americans now."

More than 20 Hudson Valley lawmakers attended the signing, including New York State Senate Majority Leader, Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Westchester County Executive, George Latimer.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “Woodstock inspired thousands to try and create change, and I am happy to stand together with my colleagues in government in support of common-sense gun legislation. Far too many lives have been lost due to senseless gun violence, and it is time we all band together to demand action.”

Other lawmakers who signed the panel, included: Senator Shelley Mayer, Senator Pete Harck-ham, Assemblyman Tom Abinanti, Assemblyman Nader Sayegh, Assemblyman David Buchwald, Assemblyman Steve Otis, Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow, Westchester County Legislators Benjamin Boykin, Nancy Barr, Catherine Borgia, and MaryJane Shimsky, New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson, Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, Yonkers City Council Member Michael Sabatino, Pound Ridge Town Supervisor Kevin Hansan, Mamaroneck Town Supervisor Nancy Seligson, Village of Mamaroneck Mayor Thomas Murphy, and Village of Tarrytown Mayor Drew Fixell.

New Rochelle Man Charged with Stealing Football League Money

Defendant: Lawrence Alston (DOB 09/19/68)Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino, Jr. announced Lawrence Alston of

New Rochelle was arraigned yesterday in New Rochelle City Court for stealing money from a bank account of the New Rochelle Tackle Football League while he was president.

Specifically, he is charged with Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, a class D felony. He is sched-uled to appear in court Sept. 26, 2019.

Background: The felony complaint alleges, Lawrence Alston helped himself to more than $20,000 from the Key Bank account of the New Rochelle Tackle Football League between Jan. 23, 2019 and June 13, 2019. The money was taken for his personal use. Key Bank notified the League when funds were overdrawn.

The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Gwendolyn Galef, Chief of the In-vestigations Division Economic Crimes Bureau. Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Marcus of the Westchester County District Attorney’s New Rochelle Branch assisted.

OPERATION RED SMILEY Beginning in May 2018, New Rochelle Police

Detectives in the Special Investigations Unit became aware that heroin stamped with a Red Smiley face symbol was prevalent in New Rochelle and initiated an investigation. 27 suspects were arrested today. More than two kilos of heroin were seized along with marijuana and firearms. 49 defendants in total have been arrested due to this investigation. One suspect is still at large.

In February 2019, New Rochelle Police Detec-tives and Investigators from the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office were able to identify two key suspects: Jeffrey Brickle of this city and Rafael Rivera of the Bronx. Rivera was suspected of supplying the heroin, and was also under investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration. He faces State charges as well as Federal charges for Drug Conspiracy and Sales.

The arrest of Rafael Rivera resulted in the identification of Kevin Lynch of Mount Vernon, who is suspected of dealing cocaine and other assorted contraband throughout Westchester County. Detec-tives quickly identified the members of his operation. On July 24, 2019 New Rochelle Police Detectives and members of the Pelham Police Department executed three search warrants in New Rochelle and Pelham. This led to the arrest of seven individuals and the re-covery of Heroin, cash and drug paraphernalia.

Several members of the Brickle family have

been charged during this investigation. The senior members of the Brickle family are Jeffrey Brickle, Sr. aka “Pops,” and Althea Cutler. These two suspects had numerous customers in New Rochelle and arranged for other family members to also distribute contra-band. Jeffrey Brickle aka “Gunnar” is the grandson of Jeffrey Brickle, Sr. and also is charged in this case.

On September 10, 2019 five additional search warrants were executed in Yonkers, the Bronx, Mt Vernon, New Rochelle and Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania. A total of 49 individuals have been either arrested and charged prior to today, or are being charged today, with various charges in regard to this investigation. One suspect is still being sought. The charges range from misdemeanor drug possession to Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance in the First Degree, a class A felony, and Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the Second Degree (loaded firearm), a class C felony.

The New Rochelle Police Department would like to thank its law enforcement partners for their assis-tance in this investigation, specifically the Westches-ter County District Attorney’s Office, Westchester County Department of Public Safety, Mount Vernon Police Department, Yonkers Police Department, New York City Office of the Special Narcotics Prosecutor, Pelham Police Department and the Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department.

Yonkers Police arrest woman for drugs, endangering welfare of six-month-old twins

On Friday, September 13th, 2019, at approximately 2:10 PM, members of the Yonkers Police Department were in the area of 1 Mill Street when they were approached by a concerned witness who alerted them to an unconscious female slumped over a baby stroller. The officers approached the female and observed her to be slumped over a double carriage that was occupied by two infants; officers further observed a burnt cigar in the female’s right hand later alleged to be comprised of phencyclidine (PCP) and synthetic marijuana (K2). Officers took posses-sion of the narcotic and attempted to rouse the female to consciousness; after several attempts the female awakened and upon seeing the police stated, “Don’t take my children, I only took a few pulls.” – she was ar-rested at scene without incident.

The infants, six-month-old twin daughters of the female, were taken to a local area hospital for evalua-tion with the assistance of the Youth Services Division;

they were found to be in good health and turned over to Child Protective Services for case management.

The female is identified as Jessica REYES, a 30-year-old resident of Sickles Avenue in New Rochelle. REYES was booked on charges including Endanger-ing the Welfare of a Child and Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance 7’, both Class A Misdemeanors in the New York State Penal Law. REYES was ar-raigned in Yonkers Criminal Court on

September 14th, 2019 and is currently in-custody at the Westchester County Jail; she is due back in court on September 19th, 2019. The case is being prosecuted by the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office.

NOTE: Booking charges are merely accusations and the defendant(s) are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law; police photo-graphs are released according to Department policy for specific law enforcement purposes.

At 2:34 p.m. on September 27, New Rochelle Police Of-ficers responded to the New Rochelle Train Station, on a report of a Male attempting to detonate a backpack that he was wearing. Responding Officers observed a Male/White seated on an outside bench, wearing a nylon pouch with wires protruding from the pouch and several cigarette lighters attached. Officers approached the Male, who stood up, extended his right arm and activated a small flashlight, turning it on and off several times. The Male, identified as Thomas J Skoupa, aged 54, was taken into custody without further incident. The device was removed from his body and discovered to be a radio/Walkman wrapped in electrical tape connected with wires, and inoper-able. The suspect was charged with Making a Terroristic Threat, a Class D Felony. The next court appearance will take place on September 30.

Iona Prep High School Student Raises $1,000 to Help Special Needs Hockey PlayersJames Chirico, an hon-

ors student and senior at Iona Prep High School in New Ro-chelle, has raised $1,000 for special needs hockey players through a used hockey equip-ment drive he created.

Throughout the entirety of his junior year, James col-lected gently used and out-grown hockey equipment for the benefit of the special needs hockey players of the New York Raptors, a non-profit organiza-tion and special needs hockey team. James approached two

hockey equipment pro shops, Pure Hockey in New Rochelle and xHockey Pro Shop in El-msford, and his high school and enlisted their help by set-ting up donation bins to act as drop-off locations to generate support and awareness for his equipment drive.

James collected over 500 pieces of donated hockey equipment consisting of sticks, gloves, pants, skates and pads which filled up the basement in his home. Raptor players were offered the opportunity

to take any of the collected gear for their own use. The re-maining gear was sold to a used hockey equipment broker, Eric Fanelli of Fanelli Hockey, and James raised $1,000 for the New York Raptors. See at-tached photo featuring James Chirico Iona Prep student (right), Joe Lopane, President of the NY Raptors (left) and his son Nathan (middle).

The NY Raptors is an organization that focuses on helping people with special needs through the teamwork

and physical and mental skills needed for ice hockey. James says, “I chose to work with the NY Raptors not only because I like hockey and volunteer as a coach and a referee for them, but because I have two younger special needs cousins who I am close to. Hockey has been very important to me growing up so I wanted to give back to the sport. It has taught me about teamwork. I wanted to help families whose children want to play hockey, but don’t have the necessary means.”

Dr. Susan Conte Joins Stepinac High School As Social Worker

Dr. Susan Conte of New Rochelle has joined Stepinac High School as so-cial worker, a new administrative staff position, effective with the start of the 2019-2020 school year.

Formerly associate professor of guidance and counseling for The Col-lege of New Rochelle, Dr. Conte earned a M.S.W. from Fordham University and a Ph.D. from New York University.

In her new position, Dr. Conte brings to Stepinac extensive profes-sional expertise and experience as a clinical social worker work-ing with adolescents.

Coach DiRienzo to Join Westchester Hall of Fame

New Rochelle High School head varsity football coach Louis DiRienzo will be inducted into the Westchester County Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday, October 17 at 5:30pm at the Westchester County Center, 198 Central Ave., White Plains.

DiRienzo and four others were cho-sen for the Hall of Fame in June. His fellow inductees are sportswriter Ernie Palladi-no, Olympic athlete and track champion Ronald O. Laird, Holy Child basketball coach Cathi Wasilik and basketball coach Beth Wooters of The Ursuline School in New Rochelle.

"It's a tremendous honor; it's incredibly humbling," DiRienzo said. He credited many with supporting him in his career -his family while growing up, his wife and children (his two sons played football at NRHS), and the "many, many coaches and many, many players" who have helped get him where he is. "I didn't climb this mountain on my own," he said.

Last year, when DiRienzo coached the Huguenots to the Class AA state championship in the Carrier Dome in Syracuse, that was only the latest of his accomplishments.

"Lou's gridiron record speaks for itself; his 27-year record at NRHS is 224 wins and 60 losses," the program for the Hall of Fame ceremony reads. "His teams have won 13 Section One AA Titles, twice been NY State AA Champions and four times NY State AA Finalists."

Most importantly, the program says, "Lou wants his players to be men of good character." That's the mission that drives him.

"In the game of football, there are so many life lessons to teach," DiRienzo said. "You're teaching a work ethic. You're teaching responsibil-ity and accountability."

This year marks the 10th annual “ArtsFest,” a weekend-long celebration of the arts in New Rochelle and Pelham or-ganized by the New Rochelle Council on the Arts, and NRCA has plenty of exciting surprises in store, including the unveil-ing of a street art mural project that will bring an international group of street artists to the Queen City to create murals celebrating New Rochelle.

ArtsFest 2019 will kick off on Friday, October 4th with an Arts in Oktoberfest Gallery Hop will let participants sample lo-cal craft beers and ciders at a variety of arts venues before ending up at ArtsFest Com-edy Night, which will feature 5 comedians and a DJ. Then ArtsFest will continue all week-end with a full calendar of art events and activities, from be-hind-the-scenes tours of work-ing artists’studios -- including world renowned 3-D artist Charles Fazzino’s Museum Edi-

tions studio, where visitors can meet the artist and dabble in in-teractive arts projects – as well as a visit from ArtsWestches-ter’s ArtsMobile, a Classic Car Show, a performance by Ajkun Ballet, a spoken word event cu-rated by READ650, an ArtsFest Dance Festival featuring per-formances by four companies and an ArtsFest Acoustic Music Festival featuring an eclectic group of local musicians.

Also on the menu are art

exhibits at the Rotunda Gallery and the New Rochelle Public Library, pop-up art exhibits at local restaurants, interactive activities at the Pelham Arts Center all weekend, an expand-ed Artisans’ Crafts Market, a workshop for young artists on how to market themselves (which will include free pho-tographs they can use in their portfolios) and a free trolley providing transportation be-tween major points both days.

“It’s amazing to me that this will be our tenth annual ArtsFest!” said NRCA President Theresa Kump Leghorn. “We start-ed out in 2009 with 14 ven-ues, and this year we will have 45 representing the work of hundreds of visual artists and performers.” The ArtsFest steering com-mittee includes Leghorn and NRCA Board members Margaret Chadwick, Jus-tin Christopher, Michael

Dandry, Monica Deane, Selena Evans, Charles Fazzino, Beth Feldman, Lynn Honeysett, and Melisa Panszi Riebe along with Barbara Davis, Dave Fabris, Candice Sanchez McFarlane, Julie Maner, Michelle Mar-terre, Charlotte Mouquin, Scott Seaboldt and Victoria Rolett.

An official ArtsFest cal-endar will be mailed to city residents and available at ven-ues as well as online at NRCA’s website www.newrochellearts.

org. “Designing, printing and mailing the calendar, plus the cost of renting the trollies and other equipment really adds up, so we’re very grateful to the generous sponsors who make ArtsFest possible,” added Leg-horn. ArtsFest sponsors so far include Gwendolen Appleyard Trust, Charles Fazzino, Arts-Westchester, Alvin & Friends Restaurant, Thornton Donovan School, Gallery Roc, and AJ’s Burgers.

Organized by the New Rochelle Council on the Arts,

ArtsFest highlights the variety of arts and arts venues in New Rochelle and Pelham, with art exhibits, programs and family-friendly activities at nearly 40 venues that give both visitors and residents alike a window into the city’s rich cultural and artistic diversity. The celebra-tion will include live music, great food, exciting perfor-mances, and eclectic shopping.

Mayor Noam Bramson joined more than 50 mayors from across the country to proudly endorse Pete Buttigieg for Presi-dent of the United States. The an-nouncement was made in an op-ed penned for USA Today.

“Mayor Pete is a genera-tional talent, who will bring to the Presidency a perspective, skill set, and temperament that are ide-ally matched to the challenges and opportunities of our times,” said Bramson. “Mayors see firsthand the ground-level impact of policy-making on lives and communities, and we’re the best judges of fellow mayors; the widespread admira-tion Pete has earned among city leaders across the country is a tes-tament to his exceptional abilities."

Along with this announce-ment, Pete for America is launch-ing a “Mayors for Pete” program. This program will comprise of a growing network of mayors and former mayors who will actively engage their communities in sup-port of Pete’s White House bid.

The mayors endorsing Pete come from urban cities, heartland regions, and coastal communities. The mayors and former mayors endorsing Pete Buttigieg include: Steve Adler (Austin, TX), Nan Whaley (Dayton, OH), Christo-pher Cabaldon (West Sacramento, CA), Justin Flippen (Wilton Man-ors, FL), Christine Hunchsofsky (Parkland, FL), Dean Trantalis (Ft. Lauderdale, FL), Betsy Hodges (Minneapolis, MN), Annise Parker

(Houston, TX), Rob Moon (Palm Springs, CA), John D’Amico (West Hollywood, CA), Luke Bronin (Hartford, CT), Liz Alpert (Sara-sota, FL), Michelle De La Isla (To-peka, KS), Jim Gray (Lexington, KY), Patrick Wojahn (College Park, MD), John Cranley (Cincinnati, OH), Ian Baltutis (Burlington, NC), John Hamilton (Bloomington, IN), Jacob Day (Salsbury, MD), Zach Vruwink (Wisconsin Rapids, WI), Matt Shorraw (Monessen, PA), Brea Clark (Norman, OK), Gabriel Quinto (El Cerrito, CA), Joe Signo-rello (Roselle Park, NJ), John Ha-rabedian (Sierra Madre, CA), Mark Kleinschmidt (Chapel Hill, NC), Layla Walz (Wells, NV).

Old Man Take a Look at My LifeBY BERNARD A. KROOKS,

CERTIFIED ELDER LAW ATTORNEY

Those of you who are in my generation and enjoy rock-n-roll music might remember the song written by Neil Young titled “Old Man.” Neil wrote the song when he was 24 years old and the song is about life’s simi-larities between Neil and the old man (someone who was about 70 years old). Well, how quickly time flies. Life expectancies today are much greater than they were even a few decades ago. While this may seem like good news to many of us, it may actually create some additional “headaches” if we don’t plan properly for our golden years.

In the current economic climate and the increased volatil-ity on Wall Street, many are con-cerned that they will outlive their retirement nest egg. However,

the greatest threat to the nest egg of seniors is not the estate tax, but rather the cost of long-term care. The federal estate tax will affect well less than 1% of all Americans. However, the possi-bility of losing our entire life sav-ings to the cost of long-term care could affect each one of us. One consequence of our increased longevity is that we are more sus-ceptible to chronic illnesses dur-ing our lifetimes.

In fact, over two-thirds of Americans 65 years of age and over will eventually require some form of long-term care. This care can be nursing home care, assist-ed living care, or in-home care. Whatever the setting, the care is extremely expensive and can deplete a family’s hard-earned savings. In the New York met-ropolitan area, long-term care costs in a nursing home can ex-ceed $15,000-$20,000 a month.

Care at home or in assisted living is also very expensive.

Medicare coverage of long-term care is extremely limited and subject to significant restric-tions. Thus, if one of us or a loved one gets sick and requires long-term care we must either pay out-of-pocket or rely on Medic-aid. Medicaid is a jointly-funded federal and state program that pays for nursing home care for seniors. However, unlike Medi-care, there are strict income and asset guidelines which must be met in order to become eligible for benefits.

One way to minimize the burden of paying out-of-pocket is to purchase long-term care in-surance. Here are a few thoughts to consider when reviewing long-term care insurance options:

Amy’s Greenhouse Holds Annual 9/11 Observance

Henry Barnard Early Child-hood Center kept alive its tradition of observing 9/11 this week with its annual ceremony at Amy’s Green-house, which honors a former teach-er’s daughter who was lost in the 2001 attacks.

“Amy’s spirit – who she was, who she will remain – is alive and well in this setting,” Geraldine Davie said of her daughter, Amy O’Doherty, who perished when the airplanes struck the Twin Towers. Davie was a Barnard pre-kindergarten teacher at the time.

Davie was addressing the gath-ering of staff members, friends, New Rochelle firefighters and others at the greenhouse and its patio. Interim Superintendent Dr. Magda Parvey praised Davie and the Barnard staff for creating the greenhouse in O’Doherty’s memory.

“Here at Amy’s Greenhouse, the staff of Barnard realized an idea from Ms. Davie to emerge from tragedy – a day that shook our nation to its core and a personal tragedy that struck so close to home – and to create in its aftermath a place that celebrates life,” Dr. Parvey said.

State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson and Barnard Principal Dr. Nicolas Cracco also spoke.

Bramson called the greenhouse “a wonderful example of what can be accomplished when we work together – of taking from a dark experience a commitment to bringing joy into the lives of chil-dren who will grow up understanding that even though there are dark elements in this world, it is still also filled with love and support, and that all of us working together have the capacity to make it so.”

Current and former Barnard students started the ceremony by leading the gathering in the Pledge of Allegiance. Dr. Cracco then recruited several students to help unveil several new spon-sored bricks in the greenhouse’s patio.

Dr. Cracco announced that two teachers, Trish Flanagan and Tara Knebel, were named “Amy’s Greenhouse butterflies”, the name given to all who help with Amy’s Greenhouse.

Flanagan, addressing the gathering, pointed to the window of the class where she was teaching when the attacks occurred. She talked about the greenhouse as a source of joy for students, and said she looked forward to the year’s activities with students. Tasting cider fresh-pressed from apples, decorating pumpkins and witnessing amaryllis flowers bloom in “a shocking display of floral beau-ty that you never expect,” she said, “will create a meaningful, positive wealth of memories in their young hearts.”

City Council Passes Extensive LegislationBY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN

Despite a relatively short Tuesday, September 17th Regu-lar Legislative Meeting, (RLM), the New Rochelle City Council passed extensive legislation with Consent Agenda, Resolutions, Ordinances and “For Introduc-tion Only: Proposed Revised Or-dinance, Proposed Initiation of Proceedings.”

Noting that extensions for approved site plans tie up square footage and residential units un-der the Theoretical Development Scenario (TDS) which may other-wise be utilized by other potential projects within the Downtown Overlay Zone (DOZ), it was rec-ommended that the site plan ex-tension fee be reassessed rather than a flat fee.

“Therefore, Development Staff recommends that City Coun-cil consider amending 133-123 Site Plan Extension Fee of the Code of New Rochelle from $500 to $1.00 per above-grade square foot of a project, excluding parking.”

Next, City Council adopted a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agree-ment with Accel7 to permit the occupation of City-owned spaces for the purpose of operating a turn-key downtown business ac-celerator program, creating a syn-

ergy between new development and investment in downtown and business community.

Council then voted to accept an $804,350 grant from New York Department of Conservation’s Cli-mate Smart Communities grant program to be used for complete streets improvement on North Avenue. Total cost of the proj-ect is $1,608,700 through a 50% match from the City ($804,350).

Resolutions included an approval between the City and Police Association (PBA), from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2026 and re-appointment of Ed-ward D. Loughman III to Board of

Assessment Review, expiring on September 30, 2024.

With “For Introduction Only: Proposed Revised Ordi-nance, Proposed Initiation of Proceedings,” the Eminent Do-main Procedure Law (EDPL) was exercised to direct Public Hear-ings (Monday, October 7th) on site acquisition related to Webster Av-enue (Jarson Triangle) and 21 Sec-ond Avenue in connection with expansion and improvement of the Beechwood Avenue Public Works Facility, plus acquiring property on 813 Main Street in connection with traffic-related improvements.

The Flower Bar Hosts First Annual Holiday Celebration

From 9am-5pm, on November 9, bring your holiday spirit to The Flower Bar’s first annual Holiday Open House at 11 Addison Street, Larchmont, as the store will be adorned with the latest holiday themes to inspire the festive spirit throughout your home. All linens and table accessories provided by Please B Seated.

The event will show participants how to turn a table from ordinary to extraordinary with the latest holiday styles and trends in tablescape designs. A Wintergreen Bar will allow attendees to customize their wreaths and gar-lands and schedule installation. Larchmont, Mamaroneck and New Rochelle specialty ornaments will be available and can be personalized on site. A live tree decorating demonstration given by New York City high end interior stylist, Frank New, will teach how to properly showcase those treasured ornaments while adding a new hip modern flare to your holiday tree. Enjoy tasty treats and non-alcoholic seasonal libations by Sugar & Salt at The Flower Bar. For more information call 834-4900.

Additionally, on Wednesday, October 23, The Flower Bar is joining dozens of floral industry businesses na-tionwide to surprise an unsuspecting passersby in Larchmont, Rye and Scarsdale with two free flower bouquets each — one to keep and one to give to a friend, family member, colleague, or even a stranger. The random-acts-of-kindness effort — called Petal It Forward and organized by the Society of American Florists (SAF), of which The Flower Bar is a member — is designed to help people start their day with more smiles and less stress. The effort illustrates research from the University of North Florida (UNF) that shows living with flowers reduces stress.

“We know from personal experience that one gets as much joy giving flowers as receiving a bouquet of flowers,” said Nancy White, owner of The Flower Bar. “Through the positive effects of flowers, we hope to make someone’s day brighter, and provide a much-needed moment of calm amidst the hectic pace of life,” she added.

White, along with members of The Flower Bar team, will be located in Larchmont (between Chatsworth and East Avenues), Rye (between Purchase and Elm Streets) and Scarsdale (Christie Place between East Park-way and Chase Road) at 11am, noon and 1pm respectively where they will be giving out petit bouquets to more than 30 residents. White also asks that after residents receive their flowers, join The Flower Bar in this feel-good campaign by gifting your extra rose and sharing your happiness on social media using #petalitforward and #the-flowerbar.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer Statement on Hate Words and Symbols Found at Scarsdale High School

“On the eve of high holy days in the Jewish faith, I am outraged and sickened that hate symbols and words have been discovered scrawl at Scarsdale High School for the second time this month. Hateful acts – of any kind- will not be tolerated and those who commit them will be found. The Westchester Coun-ty Human Rights Commission is prepared to work with the school. Here in Westchester County we are proud of our diversity and will continue to teach and practice tolerance and acceptance. I want the people of Scarsdale, and this entire County, to know I will always stand with them.”

Governor Andrew Cuomo has directed the Hate Crimes Task Force of the State Police to assist Scars-dale police and school officials with their investiga-tion.

In a recent statement, Cuomo said, “New York maintains an absolute zero tolerance for anti-Semi-tism and bigotry of any kind.” He added in a posted statement that those responsible would be held ac-countable.
