Village Welcomes Mamaroneck Historical MuralsBY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN

The Village of Mamaroneck proudly welcomed Mamaroneck His-torical Murals, in conjunction with Street Art for Mankind, beginning on Saturday, April 13th, culminating with a guided Art Walk on Saturday, April 20th.

Five murals were painted by in-ternational street artists now com-pleting wall art in Manhattan in as-sociation with the United Nations; a sixth artist was selected by Mama-roneck Arts Council.

The Spring Break celebration began on Saturday with a mural by

Victor Ash, atop a build-ing on 108 Mamaroneck Avenue.

Commenting on his artwork “Looking Down Looking Up,” Ash said, “The subject that I was supposed to work with for this mural was ‘diver-sity.’ When I think about diversity, I think about respect. I think about minorities and regular people that interact to-gether and respect each other... The first char-

acter looks down; the last character looks up. When you feel down, some-thing inside tells you that you should look up.

“I tried to take diverse faces that were not too charismatic or racist... I tried to put the various characters together and maybe people can rec-ognize themselves. It is mostly about respect, respecting each other and the community and not just judging people by their ethnicity but by their work and their contributions to soci-ety.”

On Sunday, April 14, Street Art for Mankind (SAM) Co-Founder Thi-bault Decker said that the point of the

Mamaroneck Histor-ical Society is “to tell the story of the Village

Westchester Land Trust Acquires Additional Land at Otter CreekOn April 10, Westchester

Land Trust (WLT) announced the permanent preservation of three properties totaling 4.3 acres on Taylors Lane, in the Village of Mamaroneck. These environmentally sen-sitive parcels are adjacent to the 35-acre Otter Creek Preserve, a nature preserve owned and managed by WLT. The conservation of this land will buffer the Preserve from further development, there-by protecting vital wildlife habitat and the water qual-ity flowing into Long Island Sound. In the 30 years since the organization’s founding in 1988, Westchester Land Trust has preserved near-ly 8,400 acres throughout Westchester and eastern Putnam counties.

The preservation of these parcels followed the Village Planning Board’s granting a subdivision ap-proval to Richard and Caro-line Alter for three addition-al lots at their 1000 Taylors Lane property. As a condi-tion of approval, the Board

required that the 3.2-acre lot closest to the Creek be transferred to a conservation organization and WLT ac-cepted the transfer in March. The two other lots, totaling 1.1 acres and each approved for the construction of one residence, were purchased by WLT with funds donat-ed by private individuals. “Westchester Land Trust is deeply thankful for the gen-erosity of those individuals who provided critical finan-cial support to enable this ac-quisition. We are continually inspired by the community’s passion for Otter Creek and are honored to expand the protection of this environ-mental gem,” said Westches-ter Land Trust President, Lori Ensinger. All three par-cels will be protected in per-petuity from development and managed by WLT as part of the existing Otter Creek Preserve.

WLT originally acquired Otter Creek Preserve as part of a transfer from The Nature Conservancy in 2015. Ot-

ter Creek represents WLT’s largest preserve in southern Westchester, and the most ecologically diverse of its 30 preserves in the region. The largest privately-owned tidal wetland protected as a na-ture sanctuary in Westches-ter County, Otter Creek was also designated a Geologic Area of Particular Concern by the NY State Department

of Environmental Conser-vation in 1978, and shortly thereafter, the Village of Ma-maroneck declared it a Criti-cal Environmental Area.

Otter Creek Preserve is located along a three-mile stretch of coastline on the Long Island Sound within which are found 90 percent of the remaining productive salt marshes in Westches-

ter County. The vibrant mix of coastal waters, marsh, wooded wetlands, uplands, and vernal pools makes the Preserve an important site for migratory birds, marine life, insects, reptiles and amphibians, fish, and mam-mals. The Preserve also of-fers recreation opportunities including a ¾ mile forested trail that runs alongside the wetland. There is a seasonal-ly active Osprey nesting plat-form, first erected in 1994 by The Nature Conservancy and members of the local community, and recently re-stored by WLT staff and vol-unteers in March.

Otter Creek Preserve also plays an important role in mitigating climate change. Tidal marsh ecosys-tems, such as those found at the Preserve, are one of the most highly effective at se-questering carbon from the atmosphere and transferring it into rich organic soils held by their roots. That carbon can remain in the soil for thousands of years, making

wetland protection and res-toration a vital natural cli-mate solution.

Over the past sever-al years, Westchester Land Trust has received grants from the Westchester Com-munity Foundation, the Land Trust Alliance, and the Na-tional Fish & Wildlife Foun-dation (Long Island Sound Futures Fund) in support of its acquisition of the Pre-serve, as well as several proj-ects to enhance its natural habitat. The most recent and extensive project involved the restoration of the 12-acre coastal forest, through the removal of invasive plants, and the installation of over 600 native trees and shrubs. WLT will be dedicating the next several years to the maintenance of the resto-ration site and will be seek-ing summer interns to assist.

Mamaroneck Artist Designs One of the Pop-Up Libraries Installed in New Rochelle Parks

New Rochelle has joined the “Little Free Library” move-ment: Five “Pop-Up Library” kiosks have been installed in public parks, with two more to follow in the next few weeks. The concept is simple: Take a book or leave a book. The goal is to promote literacy and the love of reading, and to build a sense of community, while also creating unique public art, be-cause each of New Rochelle’s library kiosks was embellished by a different artist.

The Pop-Up Library ki-osks were recently installed and can be found at Flowers Park, Hudson Park, Huguenot Park, Lincoln Park and Paws Place dog park at Ward Acres Park. Each has been stocked with books and will be main-tained by a volunteer “steward.”

Six artists were chosen including Laura Heiss of Ma-

maroneck and Charles Fazz-ino, one of the most popular and highly collected pop art-ists of all time. Each received one of the Little Free Library pre-assembled kits to com-plete.

Every one of the finished kiosks reflects the artist’s unique vision. Artist Laura Heiss, a retired art teacher who is now the Director of the Museum of Arts & Culture at New Rochelle High School, cre-ated her kiosk as a tribute to Rosie, her sheepdog. She says the “milk bone meteor show-er” and “raining dog biscuits” designs are frequent themes in her art work -- and obviously artist Red Grooms was also a source of inspiration with his wit and whimsy. Heiss’ design has been installed at Paws Place, the dog park that is part of Ward Acres Park.

Laura Heiss is very ac-tive at the Mamaroneck Art-ists Guild in Larchmont. She was born and raised in New Rochelle where Hudson Park provided a childhood of ad-venture. “Swimming, build-ing rafts, hide and go seek…..but best of all, an occasional art lesson in the gazebo over-looking Long Island Sound. I don’t remember who she was, or why she was there, but the best day of my life was when that sweet old lady handed me a pad and pencil and showed me how to put it all down on paper.” Twenty years later Lau-ra Heiss became an art teacher in the New Rochelle School District, starting out at her alma mater, Trinity School and ending the best 40 years of her life at Albert Leonard Middle School before becoming the di-rector of the Museum of Art &

Culture. Heiss holds a Bachelor’s degree in Fine and Studio Arts from the State University of New York at Cortland.

The world-wide book-sharing movement began in 2009 when Todd H. Bol created the first Little Free Library book exchange and placed it in his Hud-son, Wisconsin, front yard in tribute to his mother, who had been a teacher. Ten years later, his idea has snowballed, with more than 80,000 Little Free Libraries in all 50 states and 90+ coun-tries, from Argenti-na to Zambia.

Because of these Little Free Libraries, more than 120 million books have been shared and thousands of neighbors have connected for the first time!

There will be a dedication celebration for New Rochelle’s Pop-Up Libraries on Tuesday, May 14th. The date was chosen to tie into the Little Free Li-brary organization’s 10th anni-versary celebration the week of May 17th. During this week ev-eryone is invited to visit a Little Free Library and share a book, then share that experience by posting a photo on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #LFL10. The Little Free Library organization will be looking for posted photos and randomly selecting par-ticipants to receive a $20 e-gift card to its online store!


which is kind of unique, talking about diversity and famous actors who were here, glamorous Mama-roneck, natives and the waters…”

To illustrate this, London-based artist Mr. Cenz is creating a mural on Phillips Park Road fea-turing actors Ethel Barrymore, Matt Dillon who grew up in Mamaroneck and Lillian Gish, working from photographs. Many relatives of Dillon were present, including his mother, aunt, sister-in-law, nieces and a close friend.

On another wall, Toronto artist Bruno Smoky’s mural, “Navigating Through Waters of Mama-roneck” addressed the Town/Village’s nautical history, showing a ship making its way past a giant fish and heading for crashing waves.

SAM is a non-profit organization working with prominent street artists from around the world to raise awareness of child slavery through the power of art.

For the Record:The most recent Larchmont Ledger, dated April 2019, led with an incorrect headline

and included erroneous information in the text.At the March 19th Board of Trustees meeting, contrary to the headline, they intro-

duced the tentative budget with a slide show presentation by Village Administrator Justin Datino. The budget was not approved -- this will happen after the mandated public hearing, scheduled April 15th, at which they will take public comment on the proposed budget for fiscal year 2019/20.

Additionally, it was stated in the article that, “Fund balance was reduced to 0%.” In fact, what was reported at the meeting is that they managed to produce a tenative budget with a 1.94% tax levy increase (0.42% below the tax cap) and did not apply any of the village’s fund balance towards revenue -- in other words, they used 0% of fund balance to create the budget. The Village has a healthy fund balance which helps them maintain a AAA bond rating.

Former NHL Champion and Wife Donate Place/Space Mural to White Plains Hospital through Smilezone

Hospital Board Chairman Larry Smith and President and CEO Susan Fox joined in the presentation ceremony of the mural and new space on April 4th.

Houlihan Lawrence Expands its Executive TeamHoulihan Lawrence, the

leading real estate brokerage serving New York City’s north-ern suburbs, has announced the appointment of two Region-al Vice Presidents, a new Chief Financial Officer, and two Re-gional Managers to its executive team.

Deborah Doern and Jeff Kelly, both brokerage manag-ers from the firm's Larchmont and Darien offices, respective-ly, were promoted to serve as Regional Vice Presidents on the brokerage management team, representing the firm’s 30 offic-es and 1,300 agents throughout Connecticut, Westchester Coun-ty, and Hudson Valley.

“Jeff and Debbie are widely respected in the real estate in-dustry as top-notch sales exec-utives who know how to build, lead and develop winning teams of agents. In their new roles they will manage our world-class team of brokerage managers," stated Houlihan Lawrence Pres-ident Chris Meyers.

A 35-year real estate vet-eran, Doern joined Houlihan Lawrence in 2007 as a Rye/Har-rison, brokerage manager before transferring to the Larchmont office, also as brokerage manag-er, in 2011, where the office has been consistently been ranked #1 under her leadership. Doern started her career at her family’s real estate appraisal firm in 1996 before transitioning to the sales side of the business, originally becoming a consistent top pro-ducer in the Sound Shore region.

She also previously ran offices in Larchmont and New Rochelle for another brokerage.

Kelly, a third-generation native of Darien, CT and bro-kerage manager of Houlihan’s Darien office, was the longtime head of Kelly Associates Real Es-tate, - Houlihan Lawrence’s first independently-owned broker affiliate, acquired in 2015. Under his leadership, Kelly Associates expanded to Rowayton and ac-quired New Canaan brokerage Brotherhood & Higley. Prior to entering the real estate industry in 2005, Kelly served as a New York City attorney specializing in mergers and acquisitions.

New CFO hire Terry Kear-ney, a former Big Four account-ing group employee and financial consultant, is now overseeing the brokerage’s strategic finan-cial planning. Kearney brings years of industry expertise spe-cializing in financial planning, analysis, budgeting and forecast-

ing, having worked most recently as a full-time consultant for BH & G Rand Realty. Prior to this she worked for 25+ years with Realo-gy Holdings Corporation serving in a number of roles including regional director of finance for NRT Eastern Seaboard and vice president, director of finance, for Burgdorff ERA. Before entering the real estate industry, she be-gan her career on the audit staff at Ernst & Young.

The executive appoint-ments also include the promo-tions of Barry Graziano and David Haffenreffer to Regional Managers. In addition to man-

aging the Armonk and Croton offices, Barry will become an official advisor to the Briarcliff Manor and Chappaqua offices. David Haffenreffer, who current-ly oversees Houlihan Lawrence's two market leading Greenwich offices, will additionally advise the Rye and Larchmont offices.

Lions Support the Co-op Summer Enrichment ProgramThe Larchmont Mama-

roneck Lions and the STEM Alliance of Larchmont-Mama-roneck are teaming up with Ma-maroneck’s Sedona Taphouse to support the Co-Op Summer Enrichment program, the ar-ea’s only summer camp for low income kids. Each month Sedo-na Taphouse offers Steak Out for Charity to support a local non-profit. On every Monday in May, Sedona will support the Co-Op Summer Enrichment Pro-gram. Customers can purchase steak lunches or dinners for just $8 and $2 of that purchase will be donated to the Co-Op Program.

As a service oriented group, The Larchmont Mamaroneck Li-ons works to leverage their orga-nization’s capacity to do more for those in need in the community.

For this fundraiser, the Lions will be providing two matching gift resources to increase the Co-Op donation of $2 per steak to $5 per steak. The additional $3 per steak comes from the local Larchmont-Mamaroneck Lions

who will match each Sedona steak with $1 and the Brandel Murphy Foundation from the regional Lions network which match each steak purchase with an additional $2.

As a camp, Co-Op has been

serving kids in need for over 40 years in the community. Since summer 2018, The STEM Alli-ance has been hired by the Ma-maroneck School District as the lead administrator of Co-Op. The STEM Alliance reinvigorated the vision of Co-Op by adding an emphasis on project-based, child-centered learning experi-ences focused on Science, Tech-

nology, Engineering and Math. With the growing demand for STEM skills in the workforce, early exposure to engaging STEM learning is directly con-nected to future employability and higher earnings. Addition-ally, quality summer programs help mitigate “summer slide,” a decline in academic skills over the summer months.

The STEM Alliance and the Mamaroneck School District are committed to equal access to enrichment education for all children. The elementary and middle school Co-Op programs serve over 275 low income chil-dren and also provide integrated services for an additional 50 high need special education students

BE A GOOD COOKIE Lacrosse Tournament Raises Money for Pediatric Cancer Research

STAFF REPORT

It’s not often that a Bar Mitzvah project renews itself years after and continues to raise money for a good cause. But Sam Rosenberg and Evan Phillips, 15 year old High School students from New Rochelle, have done just that. For the fourth year, the boys have or-ganized and hosted The BE A GOOD COOKIE Lacrosse Tour-nament, bringing their total raised to more than $50,000 in support of children’s cancer re-search and their goal of funding a new pediatric cancer clinical research trial.

This year, the March 31 tournament raised $14,000. “We started this tournament be-cause we both love lacrosse and wanted to give back while also having fun,” said Rosenberg. “We originally founded the tour-nament as a bar mitzvah project but decided to keep it going be-cause of how good it makes us feel to give back.”

Both boys play lacrosse for their school teams; Rosenberg at New Rochelle High School and Phillips at Salisbury School in Conn. The Rosenberg fam-

ily are members of Temple Israel of New Rochelle and the Phil-lips family belongs to Larchmont Temple.

“We knew we wanted to do some-thing that would have a positive impact on kids,” said Phillips. “With cancer being the number one cause of death by disease of children in the U.S., Cookies for Kids’ Cancer was a great fit for what we hope to achieve.”

With fifteen teams of 5th-8th grade boys participating from lower Westches-ter and Greenwich, Conn., The Sports Underdome in Mount Vernon, was filled with hun-dreds of families. The teams competed in brackets named for cookie favorites like sugar, oatmeal and chocolate chip. This year’s winners were the 5th grade team, Sugar Cookies, from Larchmont/Mamaroneck Youth Lacrosse, the 6th grade Oatmeal Cookies, also known as Greenwich Warriors and an

8th grade Chocolate Chip team from Pelham. All winning teams received a customized champi-on’s medal.

All proceeds from the Be A Good Cookie Tournament go to COOKIES FOR KIDS CANCER, a national 501(c)3 non-profit dedicated to raising funds and awareness for research into less toxic, more effective treatments for childhood cancer, the lead-ing disease killing children in

the United States. “With pediatric cancer

research receiving less than 5 percent of federal money ear-marked for cancer research, Cookies for Kids Cancer is a great fit for what we hope to achieve,” explained Phillips. “This is an organization dedi-cated to finding new treatments for kids’ cancer and it feels great knowing that our efforts are helping them to do so.”

To join the fight and make

a donation, visit http://www.cookiesforkidscancer.org/fund-raiser/stickittocancer2019. The boys hope to continue running the tournament through their high school years. Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is dedicated to raising funds for pediatric can-cer research. The organization provides support and resources for individuals and businesses to host grassroots events, as well as other simple ways for anyone to get involved.

Cookies for Kids’ Cancer was founded in 2008, by par-ents inspired by their young son’s courageous battle with neuroblastoma. Since incep-tion, Cookies for Kids’ Cancer has granted $16 million to child-hood cancer research. As a re-sult, 110 research grants have been awarded, leading to 42 new treatments available to kids today. Learn how you can get in-volved at cookiesforkidscancer.org.

The film follows a sax-ophonist and a singer-song-writer pursuing music in New York. When the saxophonist’s quartet takes a break, he finds a new path as a 5th grade band teacher. Larchmont locations are featured in the film in-cluding Chatsworth Avenue School, Larchmont Music Academy and the Ballroom dance program at St. John’s Church.

A group of Chatsworth and Hommocks music stu-dents are featured in the film

in their first on-screen perfor-mances. They play ‘The Blue Rock,’ a song familiar to many Chatsworth alumni and par-ents. The song was taught by Chatsworth band teacher Pe-ter Kanyuk for over 30 years. According to Ben, “I played ‘The Blue Rock’ when I was at Chatsworth. It was a rite of passage for 5th graders, but students no longer learn it now that Mr. Kanyuk isn’t there. Fortunately, Claudia Huter of the Larchmont Music Acade-my stepped in to teach it to the students.”

Ben wrote, directed, and composed the music for the film, which was screened at the Twin Cities Film Fest, where it was nominated for best fea-ture. and the Hof Internation-al Film Festival in Germany. This is his second feature. His first film ‘Larchmont’ was

also screened by The Center. According to Diane Cashman, Executive Director at The Cen-ter, “We’re thrilled to have Ben share his work with us. And, we’re pleased that we can pro-vide this opportunity for the community to see the film.”

Tickets are $18. For more information and to purchase tickets visit LMCCE.org or call 914-698-9126.

Dr. Susan Band Horwitz Recognized with Prestigious AwardLarchmont resident, Dr.

Susan Band Horwitz Ph.D, has been lauded with many prestigious awards, includ-ing a Lifetime Achievement Award in Cancer Research from the American Associa-tion for Cancer Research. Dr. Horwitz is Distinguished Pro-fessor, Rose C. Falkenstein Chair in Cancer Research, Department of Molecular Pharmacology, Albert Ein-stein College of Medicine in New York.

Dr. Horwitz has recent-ly been chosen to receive the 2019 Canada Gairdner In-ternational Award. As one of five receiving this honor, the 2019 Canada Gairdner Inter-national Award laureates, are being recognized for seminal discoveries or contributions to biomedical science:

For the 60th anniver-sary of the Canada Gairdner Awards, the Gairdner Foun-dation is recognizing the peo-ple who have made some of the world’s most significant biomedical research and dis-coveries. Laureates receive a $100,000 cash honorarium and are formally presented with their awards on October 24, 2019 at the annual Canada Gairdner Awards Gala in To-ronto.

“Gairdner is proud to recognize another outstand-ing group of Laureates. This fall, each of the 2019 Canada Gairdner Award Laureates will participate in outreach programs across Canada to share their research and passion for science with graduate students, trainees, post-docs, faculty members and high school students,” said Dr. Janet Rossant, Pres-ident and Scientific Director, Gairdner Foundation. “I have no doubt that our 2019 Laure-ates will help us to inspire the generation of scientists and researchers, and continue to raise the caliber of scientific conversation across the coun-try.”

Dr. Horwitz will be awarded, ‘‘for defining novel mechanisms of action and resistance of drugs of natural product origin, most signifi-cantly Taxol®, and promot-ing their use for treatment of cancer’’

She is best known for elucidating the mechanism of action of Taxol®, a natural product obtained from the yew tree, Taxus brevifolia. Horwitz discovered that Tax-ol® binds to microtubules in cells, stabilizing them, thereby leading to cell cycle arrest and subsequent tu-mor cell death. This body of work enabled the successful translation of Taxol® into the clinic. It is one of the most

frequently prescribed drugs in the world for the treatment of ovarian, breast and lung cancer.

A member of Larch-mont Temple, the Doctors’ research played a crucial role in encouraging the develop-ment of Taxol® for use in the clinic. Although no one was interested in Taxol® when she began her studies, today it is an important antitumor drug approved by the FDA

for the treatment of ovarian, breast and lung carcinomas, as well as Kaposi’s Sarcoma. The drug has been given to millions of cancer patients worldwide. Taxol® also is used in the preparation of stents for cardiac disease. In addition, Taxol® has proven to be an indispensable tool for scientists interested in microtubule structure, dy-namics, and function.

Dr. Horwitz has enjoyed

living in Larchmont for 50 years. “It is an honor to be a recipient of the prestigious 2019 Canadian international Gairdner Award. For more than four decades, my labo-ratory at Albert Einstein Col-lege of Medicine has studied the antitumor drug Taxol,” she noted. “It is a privilege to know that our research has improved and saved the lives of cancer patients around the world.”

Friends of Larchmont Parks Raises Funds for Constitution Park

The Friends of Larchmont Parks, a nonprofit organization that works with the Village of Larchmont to maintain and develop local parks, raised over $50K at its trivia night event on March 28, 2019. With nearly 125 people in attendance, the event had locals engaged in a friendly trivia competition and enjoying wines and delicious nibbles from local busi-nesses at St. Augustine’s Church in Larchmont.

The event raised funds for the development of Constitution Park, which is located next to Larchmont’s Village Hall and is adjacent to Boston Post Road commercial district. The Park serves as the community’s focal gathering point for seasonal events such as the annual art show, Light Up Larchmont and the Ragamuffin Parade.

The development of Constitution Park will cost approximately $450K, which will be funded by the Friends of Larchmont Parks via philanthropic donations and will feature design highlights such as a French-inspired promenade, an area for public concerts, a sculptor garden and children’s grove.

“We are thrilled to have raised over $300,000 towards the Constitution Park Project and are confident that with the continued support of this amazing community we will be able to reach our fundraising goal in 2019 and begin construction shortly thereafter,” said Laura Rosenthal, President of the Friends of Larchmont Parks.

Historic Preservation Board Nominates Winged Foot Golf Club for State and National Registers of Historic Places

On March 25, Governor An-drew M. Cuomo announced the New York State Board for Historic Preservation has recommended adding 17 properties, resourc-es and districts to the State and National Registers of Historic Places. The nominations reflect the striking diversity of New York State’s history, and range from the city’s first cooperative apartment building to a resort community developed by African Americans on Long Island.

“These nominations pay tribute to some of the most ex-ceptional and fascinating sites in New York State history,” Gov-ernor Cuomo said. “By placing these landmarks on the State and National Registers of Historic Places, we can ensure these loca-tions have the funding they need to preserve and promote the very best of New York’s past, present and future.”

Locally, Winged Foot Golf Club in Mamaroneck, has been nominated. The club boasts two 18-hole golf courses designed by Albert Warren Tillinghast, a seminal figure in American golf course design, as well as an impressive stone and brick club-house designed by architect Clif-ford Charles Wendehack. The courses opened in 1923, and the clubhouse was completed in 1925. Winged Foot’s West Course host-ed the U.S. Open in 1929.

A State and National Reg-isters listing can assist property owners in revitalizing buildings and make them eligible for vari-ous public preservation programs and services such as matching state grants and state and federal historic rehabilitation tax credits. Since the Governor signed legis-

lation to bolster the state’s use of rehabilitation tax credits in 2013, the state and federal program has spurred billions of dollars in com-pleted investments in historic commercial properties and tens of millions of dollars in owner-oc-cupied historic homes.

The State and National Registers are the official lists of buildings, structures, districts, landscapes, objects, and sites significant in the history, archi-tecture, archeology and culture of New York State and the nation. There are more than 120,000 his-toric buildings, structures and sites throughout the state listed on the National Register of His-toric Places, individually or as components of historic districts. Property owners, municipalities and organizations from com-munities throughout the state sponsored the most recent nom-inations.

Once the recommendations are approved by the state historic preservation officer, the prop-erties are listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places and then nominated to the Na-tional Register of Historic Places, where they are reviewed and, once approved, entered on the National Register.

“The State and National Registers listing is a key step for-ward on the path to protecting and revitalizing these landmarks. Preserving and revitalizing our historic places helps lift local economies, instill community pride, encourage smart growth, and boost tourism,” said Erik Kulleseid, Acting Commissioner of the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

Senator José Serrano, Chair of Committee on Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks and Recreation said, “Today’s recommendations reflect the wonderfully diverse cultural heritage of New York - from a post-World War II African American resort community on Long Island, to a 19th century schoolhouse in Buffalo, not to mention East Harlem’s work-ing-class immigrant legacy rep-resented in my Senate District. By helping to preserve our historic treasures, the State and National Registers support community revitalization while encouraging tourism and economic growth. Many thanks to Governor Cuo-mo and Acting Commissioner Kulleseid for their commitment to preserving New York’s history for future generations.”

At Home on the Sound Features Informative Speakers

Two experts on the subject of unconscious bias will talk about its subtle effects on our lives on May 14. Hosted by At Home on the Sound, their goal is to help you overcome or mitigate bias and be-come a champion of change.

Dr. Dorothee Greenberg was born in Germany and raised in Maine, one of the least diverse states in the union, she says. She earned a Ph. D. in Comparative Literature at NYU in 1958, and joined the faculty at Pace University in New York City. Meeting the challenges of teaching in that diverse environment, she organized conferences for educators on the Ethnic Mosaic. Moving to Pace Pleasantville, her classes included The Literatures of Immigrant and Racial Minorities and Gender, Race and Class.

Elizabeth Derby, Wellesley ’88, will share the podium. She is a senior consultant with Jennifer Brown Consulting in Manhattan, advising Fortune 500 companies on the relentless power of racism and the need for change. A video on the role of unconscious bias can be seen at www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiDr8RxbDis

Then on May 28, at one of the group’s bi-monthly programs, Professor Rolandi will look at the chaos in America’s once dominant foreign policy position. A succession of upheavals around the world, from 9/11 to the invasions of Georgia and Ukraine, have all contributed to America’s declining ability to manage our role.

The election of Donald J. Trump signaled other changes: the administration’s engagement with autocrats and a non-interventionist approach to American efforts in the Middle East. As we approach another election cycle, Rolandi asks what should American foreign policy be in the in-creasingly unstable world?

Rolandi teaches public policy and public administration at Pace University and the John Jay College of Criminal Justice of the City University of New York. Before that he served in the adminis-trations of New York City Mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudy Giuliani and New York State Gover-nors David Paterson and Andrew Cuomo.

At Home on the Sound, a membership organization for residents 6o and up in Larchmont and Mamaroneck provides a multitude of opportunities to continue to have a safe and stimulating life while still living at home. Programs start at 4:00 pm in Larchmont Ave. Church’s community room, 60 Forest Park Avenue. Refreshments are served at 3:30. www.AtHomeontheSound.org

Cancer Support Team® Honors Volunteers at“Celebrate Spring” Event.

On May 9, friends, sup-porters and staff of Cancer Support Team (CST) will “Cel-ebrate Spring,” at the Bronx-ville Field Club, honoring Judy Boyle and Bonnie Gould, two extraordinary volunteers who will receive the Making Mira-cles Happen Award.

CST Board Chair, Lisa Edmiston, noted that, “Judy and Bonnie have been part of the fabric of CST for decades. Each has helped further our mission to enhance the lives of cancer patients and their fami-lies throughout southern West-chester. Whether volunteering to drive our patients to medical treatments or assisting with fund-raising events, both are dedicated to our cause, and we want to publicly recognize their contributions and thank them for their years of service.”

Judy Boyle of New Ro-chelle, volunteered to visit cancer patients over thirty years ago. When CST expand-ed and needed another full-

time nurse, Judy joined the team. Today, she continues to be a force for Cancer Support Team by working on fundrais-ing events, including serving on the planning committee for the annual Gayle K. Lee Health Awareness Luncheon as well as the biannual gala. When re-flecting on her work with CST, Judy remarks, “I am inspired by the dedication of the team and have learned so much from my patient experience. It’s true, when you give, you get so much more in return.”

Bonnie Gould of Scars-dale, a retired nurse and ed-ucator, has also worked tire-lessly on CST’s events, even co-chairing The Health Aware-ness Luncheon. She has been a board member for five years and continues to drive cancer patients to and from chemo or radiation. “The patients are always thankful, not just because the rides make their lives a little easier, but they have the opportunity to talk and to share. We develop a re-lationship.”

Both honorees also “spread the word” about Can-cer Support Team. As Bonnie says, “I have always been an ambassador of CST. The agen-cy is an invaluable resource, and the team continues to deliver the highest quality of care. I am so proud to be asso-ciated with CST.”

The Cancer Support Team® provides nursing, so-cial work counseling, and case management services

at any stage of the disease at no cost and without regard to insurance coverage. It is a Westchester County, licensed non-profit, home healthcare organization that has been enhancing the quality of life for individuals and families affected by cancer for over 40 years. Cancer Support Team also provides transportation and financial assistance when needed.

As a nonprofit charitable organization, financial sup-port comes from individual do-nors, events and grants. Can-cer Support Team is a grantee of The Community Fund of Bronxville, Eastchester and Tuckahoe and is very grateful for The Community Fund’s support.

How Women Can Overcome Four Financial ChallengesBY ZIYAH ESBENSHADE, CFP®,

CRPC®, APMA®

For women today, life can be a balancing act between fam-ily, career and personal obliga-tions. At the same time, women often face unique challenges when it comes to managing their finances. If you are a woman working to build your financial confidence today and tomorrow, understanding key challenges is the first step to overcoming them.

Challenge #1 – The income gapAccording to the Bureau of

Labor Statistics, median week-ly earnings for women age 16 and older was 82 percent of the amount earned by men in the same age group.1 This earnings disadvantage can affect how women manage living expenses and long-term goals like retire-ment or saving for a child’s college tuition.

How to overcome the income gapYou can help close the gap in

several ways. First, keep informed of salary trends for your industry, role and job experience, and use the knowledge to negotiate your future compensation. Second, take full advantage of your work-place benefits – both financial (e.g. stock options, retirement plans) and nonfinancial (e.g. fit-ness center, onsite healthcare). Aim to set aside 10-15 percent of your income in your retirement plan – or at least enough to cap-

ture the matching contribution offered by your employer, if appli-cable. And third, invest wisely ac-cording to your risk tolerance and time horizon. Diversifying your investments and staying invested over time can help you achieve your long-term objectives.

Challenge #2 – The likelihood of a longer retirement

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, life expectancy for U.S. women ex-ceeds that of men by five years (81.1 years for women vs. 76.1 years for men as of 2016).2 While five years may not seem like much, rising inflation and health-care costs may require retirees to save more to cover expenses in retirement.

How to plan for longevityLife expectancy trends

serve as a reminder to pay your-self first. Commit to saving part of each paycheck, even if it’s only a modest amount to start, as well as any windfalls you receive (e.g. tax refunds, bonuses, commissions). If you’re near retirement, careful-ly select the timing of when you, or your spouse if you’re married, begin claiming Social Security benefits. Your monthly benefit increases with time, which can be an important piece of your retire-ment paycheck.

Challenge #3 – Balancing multi-ple priorities

Life can be a juggling act for many women who are balancing

their career with raising children or caring for an aging parent. It is also not unusual to see women take the lead on caring for aging parents or other family members. Such significant commitments can limit the time that can be devoted to pursuing career goals and making sure financial plans are on track.

How to balance multiple prioritiesDecide what your collective

financial goals are, and deter-mine a process for saving, paying bills and handling other finan-cial tasks. Good communication about your priorities can help alleviate pain points and antici-pate future expenses. If you have children, it’s never too early to start saving for their college tui-tion. That said, it’s important to prioritize preparing for your own retirement first. Remember, your child could have scholarships and loans to help with college expenses. The same options are not available for your retirement. Consider creating a plan that will help you make meaningful prog-ress toward both goals.

Challenge #4 – Coping with major life changes

No matter how carefully you plan your life, you will experience occasional curveballs. For exam-ple, divorce can create a situation where income that formerly sup-ported one household must now be split between two. The death of a spouse can have a dramatic financial impact on the future

income of your family. Other un-anticipated events can also have financial considerations.

How to plan for uncertaintyBuilding up your liquid

savings is a great place to start. Having adequate savings can give you the flexibility to respond to changing circumstances quickly. Additionally, evaluate your insur-ance policies to ensure you have the proper protection in key ar-eas, including life, health, disabil-ity, and long-term care. If you’ve experienced divorce or widow-hood, update the beneficiaries on each of your accounts to reflect your wishes.

Start planning todayIt’s easy to let financial plan-

ning take a back seat to family, career and other demands. Con-sider partnering with a financial advisor who can help you navi-gate the unique challenges and goals you have. Know that what-ever your current circumstanc-es, diligent planning, saving and investing can help you reach your financial goals.

What’s Happening at the Larchmont Public LibraryM & M Performing Arts Company Performs BOTANIC GARDEN

M&M Theater presents BOTANIC GARDEN, a play by Todd Logan, directed by Me-linda O’Brien and starring Kar-en Quinn-Panzer and Frank Panzer, on Sunday, May 5, at 4:00pm, at the Larchmont Public Library.

BOTANIC GARDEN is presented free. Refreshments available at 3:30pm. Sponsored by the Friends of the Larch-mont Public Library.

Botanic Garden is a fun-ny, poignant drama about a widow - Kate Goodman - who is desperate to get out of a first date. She turns to the one per-son who can help: her deceased husband, Jake. The play is an inventively constructed por-trait of an imperfect marriage between people who always loved each other, even when they didn’t get along. Scenes shift between the present and scenes from their marriage - scenes that will ring familiar to anyone married a long time. It is a fresh, engaging portrait of the intricacies of a long-term relationship. Unique and heartwarming, this play will charm the audience as it touch-es them, identifying with the story about the trials and joys of long-term relationships, loss and renewal.

New Exhibit by Philip Wallace to Open in the Oresman Gallery

Philip Wallace will be exhib-iting his paintings in The Oresman Gallery at the Larchmont Public Library, in a new exhibition that opens May 2nd and extends to May 30th and is called “What We See and What We Feel.”

On Saturday, May 11 be-tween 2 and 4 pm, there will be an Artist Reception for Philip Wallace in the Oresman Gal-lery open to the public.

As a child growing up in Brooklyn during the Great De-pression, Philip’s parents gave him a copybook and a pencil so he could amuse himself. He started drawing pictures. Now and then, he would take an art class if it were offered for free. When he retired from account management in advertising, Philip took lessons in water-color at the Westchester Coun-ty Center and began painting with oils at the Artists’ Barn in Ridgewood, NJ, studying with Chip Osborne.

“I have always felt that creative people are only limit-ed by the number of disciplines they master,” said Philip. In his case, he has published two his-toric novels on the early Amer-ican Navy, produced two travel films - Majesty of America, on the natural beauty of our coun-try, which won a Cine Golden Eagle Award and represented the U.S. in foreign competi-tion, and Just Off Main Street,

which is about what insiders know and what outsiders often miss in great American cities.

Today, Philip enjoys painting landscapes and sea-scapes as well as creating ab-stract art. In short, he enjoys anything that involves the cre-ative process.

Author Todd Strasser Reads From His New Novel SUMMER OF ‘69

The Friends of the Larch-mont Public Library will present renowned author Todd Strasser, on Sunday, May 19, at 4:00pm, as he reads from his new novel, SUMMER OF ‘69 (Candlewick, April 2019). Strasser’s presen-tation will be held in the Larch-mont Village Center located directly behind the Larchmont Public Library. Refreshments will be available at 3:30pm.

Echo Lake by Philip Wallace

Drawing from his teenage years, Todd Strasser’s SUM-MER OF ‘69 revisits a tumultu-ous era and takes readers on a psychedelically tinged trip of a lifetime. With his girlfriend, Robin, away in Canada, eigh-teen-year-old Lucas Baker’s only plans for the summer are to mellow out with his friends, smoke weed, drop a tab or two, and head out in his microbus for a three-day happening called the Woodstock Music and Art Fair. But life veers dramatically off track when he suddenly finds himself in dan-ger of being drafted and sent to fight in Vietnam.

If that isn’t heavy enough, there’s also the free-loving (and undeniably alluring) Tinsley, who seems determined to test Lucas’s resolve to stay faithful to Robin; a frighteningly bad trip at a Led Zeppelin con-cert; a run-in with an angry motorcycle gang; parents who appear headed for a divorce; and a friend on the front lines in ’Nam who’s in mortal dan-ger of not making it back. As the pressures grow, it’s not long before Lucas finds him-self knocked so far down, it’s starting to look like up to him. When tuning in, turning on, and dropping out is no longer enough, what else is there?

In 1978, Strasser pub-lished his first novel, Angel Dust Blues, and used the mon-ey to start the Dr. Wing Tip Shoo fortune cookie company. For the next 12 years, Todd sold many more fortune cookies

than books.In 1990, Todd moved with

his family to Westchester Coun-ty.. He is the author of more than 140 books for teens and middle graders including the best-selling Help! I’m Trapped In series, and numerous award-winning Young Adult novels including The Wave, Give A Boy A Gun, The Accident, Can’t Get There From Here, Boot Camp, If I Grow Up and Fallout.

Several of his books have been adapted for television and his novels The Wave and How I Created My Perfect Prom Date became feature films. His books have been translated into more than a dozen lan-guages, and he has also writ-ten for television, newspapers such as The New York Times, and magazines such as The New Yorker and Esquire.

Strasser now divides his time between Westchester and Montauk. He likes to read and watch movies, spend time with his grown children, play tennis and ski, but his favorite new sport is surfing.

County Health Commissioner Urges Vaccination for Camp Counselors, Staff and Unvaccinated ResidentsWith the largest measles

outbreak in the U.S. underway since 2000, Health Commis-sioner Sherlita Amler, MD, urged unvaccinated children who will be attending summer camp, along with camp coun-selors, staff and Westchester residents to register for a free MMR vaccine clinic, offered by the Westchester County De-partment of Health.

The MMR vaccine pro-tects against measles, mumps and rubella, and is both very safe and effective.

To reserve a spot to get a free MMR vaccine Tuesday, May 14, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., 134 Court Street, White Plains,

go to http://www.health.ny.gov/gotoclinic/60.

In addition to attending the Health Department’s vacci-nation clinic, the MMR vaccine is available through private healthcare providers and is covered by most insurers. Res-idents should call their health care provider as soon as pos-sible to make arrangements to be vaccinated.

Amler said, “While I strongly encourage everyone to get fully vaccinated, I espe-cially want to appeal to anyone working or attending a camp this summer to do so. Lack of immunity can keep kids home from camp and camp staff

home from work for 21 days if exposed to measles. Measles is highly contagious. People can spread measles before they even know they are sick. People without immunity can catch measles just by being in a room for up to two hours after a person with measles has left. Without immunity, nine out of 10 people who are exposed will become infected. If exposed and not immune, campers will miss out on summer fun while being isolated at home for three weeks.”

Measles is a highly con-tagious virus that causes fe-ver, rash, cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes. Measles

spreads from person to per-son by coughing or sneezing. Tiny white spots may appear in the mouth and a rash may appear on the body two to four days after symptoms be-gin. Without knowing they are sick, an infected person can spread measles to others up to four days before the rash ap-pears, and for up to four days afterwards.

Complications from measles are common and can include hearing loss, pneu-monia, swelling of the brain and death. About one in four people who get measles will be hospitalized. Those who get measles are also at risk for

Subacute sclerosing panen-cephalitis (SSPE), a very rare, but fatal disease of the central nervous system that results from a measles virus infection acquired earlier in life. SSPE generally develops 7 to 10 years after a person has mea-sles, even though the person seems to have fully recovered from the illness. Measles can also be more severe in young infants, pregnant women and people with a weak immune system. Anyone who believes they may have been exposed should contact their health-care provider.

The Health Department vaccinated 92 people at three

MMR clinics held earlier in April. The County Health Department arranged these clinics, after publicly urging timely MMR vaccination, after eight unvaccinated children in northern Westchester were diagnosed with measles. The children do not attend public schools or daycare programs.

Dr. Amler cautioned any-one who thinks they have mea-sles to call their doctor and report their symptoms. They should not go to a health care facility unannounced, to avoid spreading measles to others.

Long-Term Care Insurance UpdateBY BERNARD A. KROOKS, CERTIFIED ELDER LAW ATTORNEY

A few weeks ago, one of the leading American companies that sells long-term care insurance suspended sales of its most popular product. Then, a week or so later, the company restarted sales — but only by direct online contact. In other words, bro-kers and insurance salespeople are now not able to sell this product for the largest seller. What does that mean for the marketplace, and for consumers?

The company that we are referring to is named Genworth Financial. What they did initially was suspend all sales of tradi-tional, individual policies of long-term care insurance (LTCI). A move like this is big news in the industry, since Genworth has the largest number of LTCI policyholders of any insurance company. In the past year, Genworth had raised its premiums by 53%, and had set aside an additional $327 million to cover unanticipated costs paid out on its policies. This was due to increased capital requirements imposed by regulators, the current and long-standing low interest rate environment and the increased longevity of Americans. By living longer, it is more likely that a person will became incapacitated and require long-term care, which in turn means that there will be more claims. Also, when someone buys LTCI, they typically pay premi-

ums for many years prior to filing a claim, if ever. During this time period, the insurance company invests the premium dollars in a di-versified bond portfolio. With interest rates at historically low rates, the return on invest-ment for the insurance companies was much lower than anticipated thus resulting in the need to raise premium rates.

What does this mean going forward for the LTCI industry and consumers? For start-ers, the number of companies who sell LTCI has been decreasing and will continue to do so since the companies are finding it difficult to make a profit on this product and not that many consumers have purchased the product due to how expensive it can be. Moreover, the industry is moving away from traditional, LTCI policies, and towards “hybrid” policies. Hybrid policies are actually life insurance policies or annuities with a long-term care component. Here’s how it works: Basically, the consumer purchases a life insurance pol-icy — either with a single premium or a series of large payments. The policy will pay out to heirs at death, just like traditional life in-surance. However, if the policyholder needs long-term care during his lifetime, the policy can be used up to certain amounts to pay for that care. There are similar hybrid policies available in the annuity industry. Although the annuity type policies are less popular than the life insurance hybrids, they have

also increased in sales in recent years.These hybrid policies have been very

popular in recent years. Even as traditional LTCI policy sales declined, hybrid policy sales surged. A 2017 Forbes article, for instance, reported that hybrid policies were about twice as popular as traditional LTCI in that year. Regardless of growth in the hybrid LTCI marketplace, total sales of policies continue to decline. Is there a future for LTCI at all? No one is certain. One thing does seem clear: the cost of long-term care and the cost to in-sure against it will continue to rise.

So, should you buy LTCI and if so, when? Well, that depends upon a number of factors, including your aversion to risk, the possible dependency of family members, among oth-ers. One big factor is whether you have the ability to self-insure.

In other words, do you have enough as-sets to pay for this potential cost, if neces-sary. In the New York metropolitan area, that could mean $200,000 or more a year. And if you are married, those numbers could apply to your spouse as well. Could you afford this amount of money if one of you had a chronic illness such as Alzheimer’s disease and need-ed nursing home care for 8-10 years or lon-ger?

Also to be considered is your age. If you are under 60, the cost may not be prohibitive; however, the older you get the more expen-

sive LTCI gets; furthermore, you may not even be insurable later in life for health reasons. That is one of the primary reasons for consid-ering LTCI at an early age.

Bottom line: if you have an LTCI policy, it probably makes sense to keep it. Moni-tor premiums carefully though as many in-surance companies continue to raise their prices. If you don’t have LTCI, you should certainly start the conversation among your family and advisors as to how you would pay for long-term care if the need arises.

Phase 1 Improvements to MHS’s Memorial Field Now Complete

Phase I of capital project improvements to Mamaroneck High School’s Memorial Field is complete due to a generous community member donation.

The Projects completed include: New turf; New paver walkways, including a plaza/pep band area and landscaping; Extended bleachers to seat approximately 250 more people; New sound system; Banner Wall; and New 50-foot flagpole.

A new elevated press box/filming plat-form facility is expected to be complete some-time in April, and construction of a new team room and bathroom facility at the Southwest corner of the field will begin this summer.

“It has been so refreshing to see a vision like this come together,” remarked Mama-roneck School District’s Director of Facilities, Steve Brugge. “It was a pleasure to work with this family to make the project a reality, and we are so grateful for their generosity.”

70+ All-County Students Recognized at Board of Education Meeting

A total of 73 Mamaroneck School District students were rec-ognized at the March 26 Board of Education meeting for their acceptance to the Westchester County School Music Associa-tion All-County Music Associa-tion (WCSMA) Festivals. These students performed earlier this month at SUNY Purchase with other top performing students from across Westchester County.

Dina Madden, the District’s K-12 Music Coordinator. called off each of the student’s names and offered congratulations to Hommocks music teachers Leon Whyte, Intermediate All-County Chorus Conductor, and Kate Stocker, Elementary All-County Orchestra Conductor.

“Many thanks to all of the music teachers who spent time preparing the students, to the parents for supporting your children, and to these young musicians for putting in many extra hours, time and hard work,” Ms. Madden said. “Being a part of the All-County festivals is an honor and an impressive accomplishment, and we are pleased that Mamaroneck has such a significant representation.”

Additionally, three Mamaroneck High School students who participated in the Jazz All-County Festival (coordinated by Hommocks Band Teacher James Mullen) were recognized: Grant Tucker, Ha-ruki Gonai and Emma Strudwick. The MHS Jazz Band, led by Tim Hooker, was selected to perform at the Festival as the guest high school band.

Hommocks Music Teacher Leon Whyte conducts the Intermediate All-County Chorus at SUNY Purchase in early March.
