MTA looks to rent train station space

The much-anticipated Hudson Valley Restaurant Week kicked off at Freeebird Kitchen and Bar in White Plains. The celebration marked the beginning of the most popular foodie event in the region, which will run from Oct. 29 through Nov. 11. For more, see page 6.

Manhattanville and The Osborn collaborate on learning program Manhattanville College is offering faculty research presentations to residents of The Osborn, a Rye retirement community, in an effort to bring elements of its higher education curriculum to the greater Westchester population. The Osborn’s residents will visit the Manhattanville Purchase campus to enjoy faculty research presentations alongside students and faculty and engage in dynamic conversation following the talks, making intergenerational learning not only possible but fruitful for both young and old. “Manhattanville College provides its students and the community at-large with a robust array of experiences and events that go beyond the classroom to build bridges for our undergraduates to learn academically, emotionally and socially through,” Provost Louise Feroe said. “One such connection between young stu-

dents and mature residents of The Osborn allows people of different generations with an age difference of 50-60 years to collaborate in an engaging learning environment, bringing unique perspectives and ideas together to create a dynamic conversation around topics ranging from animal welfare to psychology, philosophy and literacy.” “Osborn residents are excited to be taking part in the Manhattanville Faculty Lecture Series,” Michele Schreer, director of independent living at The Osborn, said, “Having this unique opportunity to learn about new and interesting topics alongside students on a college campus offers a special dimension to the intellectual offerings of our WellSpring Program (The Osborn’s integrated approach to wellness). Residents who attended the first lecture came away energized, in-

spired, and eager to participate in the rest of the lecture series.” The series includes two more afternoon programs presented by Manhattanville faculty through the end of November and is expected to resume in 2019: Wednesday, Nov. 7, Philosophy department chairman and associate professor Dr. Paul Kucharski, will present “On the Relationship Between Personal Uniqueness and Personal Dignity” Wednesday, Nov. 28, Dr. Katherine Cunningham, associate pro-

fessor of the Department of Literacy and English, will present “The Transformative Power of Stories: Partnering with Teachers in Njoro, Kenya to Broaden What We Mean By Literacy.” According to research organization Legacy Project, “The richest forms of human development are most available to those willing and able to interweave their needs and potential with the needs and potential of others, especially those younger or older.” (Submitted)

The commercial real estate brokerage firm Cushman & Wakefield has been named the leasing agent for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, MTA, and is soliciting proposals for the lease of retail space in the Bronxville and Rye train station buildings. Both Rye and Bronxville are consistently included in national top listings of the most affluent and expensive towns in the U.S. based on median income and housing prices. Residents have long expressed a desire for the MTA to select tenants who will renovate and reinvigorate the underutilized spaces at each of the stations.“Each of the properties are perfect for a café or amenity use,” said Carl Wunderlich, director of brokerage services at Cushman & Wakefield. “It’s about convenience and comfort, improving customer amenities and making each venue more appealing for commuters and residents alike who would welcome an upgrade to the current facilities.” The Bronxville Metro-North station serves the residents of the village of Bronxville via the Harlem Line. Station ridership is about 3,331 daily during the week for inbound riders and 2,479 on the weekends. The building is located at 113 Kraft Ave., which is 15.3 miles to Grand Central Terminal and is approximately 2,834 square feet. The ticket office will remain within the station building. The current station was built in

1916 by the New York Central Railroad, in the Spanish-Mission revival architectural style. Proposals must be received by 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 16. The Rye Metro-North station serves the residents of the city of Rye via the New Haven Line. Station ridership is about 2,239 daily during the week for inbound riders and 1,673 on the weekends. The building is located at 2 Station Plaza in Rye is approximately 2,000 square feet and is 24.1 miles to Grand Central Terminal. The ticket office will remain within the station building. Proposals must be received by 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 30. “Every week, about 9,500 customers use the Bronxville station, and over 2,400 customers use the Rye station,” said Catherine Rinaldi, president of Metro-North. “This request for proposals to renovate the Bronxville station building and the Rye station building are just two small examples of how we’re always working to improve the commuting experience for our customers.” (Submitted)

Latimer, Mayer to speak with White Plains teens The Edge, the White Plains Public Library’s teen library, will hold their second Government & Politics career panel on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. New York State Sen. Shelley Mayer and Westchester County Executive George Latimer will be the guest panelists. Earlier this year the Edge held its first Government & Politics panel, where state Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins, White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach and White Plains Common Council Member Nadine Hunt-Robinson spoke to a full audience of local students interested in careers in public service. “It’s always a pleasure to speak with young people.,” Roach said. “They never fail to inspire me with their knowledge and perspective. Speaking to White Plains teens at the Edge earlier this year was fun and engaging and gives me great pride in our youth and the many things we offer them here in White Plains— from our school district to our library and recreation and Youth Bureau programs.”

George Latimer

Teens will get a chance to hear about the careers of Latimer and Mayer, and how they got to the positions they are in today. This panel is supported by a partnership between the Allstate Foundation and the White Plains Library Foundation. The White Plains Public Library is a dynamic, civic resource. Its mission is to enable all members of the community to engage in lifelong learning, find inspiration and build citizenship by providing free and open access to recorded knowledge, personal guidance in its use, and diverse

Legislators support veterans pins plan

On Monday night, the Westchester County Board of Legislators passed a resolution supporting the creation and distribution of special pins for the uniforms of firefighters, police officers and emergency medical service workers who are veterans of our nation’s armed forces. County Legislator Nancy Barr introduced the resolution in support of the pins—to be created in partnership with the office of the county executive—which was ap-

proved unanimously by the board. “We greatly appreciate our brave and dedicated firefighters, police officers and EMS workers in Westchester County,” Barr said. “In addition to their service to the people of the county, many are continuing a lifetime of sacrifice and service after protecting our freedom and liberty in the military. These pins are a small token to express our immeasurable gratitude for their service, and to provide these local heroes some richly deserved

recognition in their communities.” Ben Boykin, board chairman, added, “The proud men and women who have served our country don’t like to call attention to themselves, but any time the rest of us can acknowledge their service and sacrifice, we should. That’s why I’m so happy that Legislator Barr brought this to the board, and I’m glad that the county will be moving forward with this recognition, as other counties have done.”

Scooping cold vanilla ice cream onto a warm slice of apple pie, Westchester County Executive George Latimer joined The Valley Table magazine Publisher Janet Crawshaw and Caitlin Fusco, co-owner of Freebird Kitchen and Bar, to kick off Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, HVRW, for fall 2018. The celebration marked the beginning of the most popular foodie event in the region, which will run from Oct. 29 through Nov. 11. “115 Westchester County restaurants, including 16 new additions this fall, are participating in Hudson Valley Restaurant Week—a testament to the county’s thriving food scene,” Latimer said. “It’s a true culinary celebration and an opportunity for all residents and visitors alike, to try top-notch restaurants at a great price. We hope everyone enjoys a fun night out, and takes advantage of the delicious cuisines on the menu this year.” Freebird Kitchen and Bar is new to downtown White Plains, featuring comfort dishes created with fresh local ingredients and a southern style. HVRW celebrates top restaurants, giving diners the opportunity to enjoy exceptional dining at an approachable price point. Three-course, prix fixe dinners are $32.95 and lunches are $22.95 (plus beverage, tax and tip). During HVRW, diners can

sample delicious dishes throughout the county. A complete list of participating restaurants is available at valleytable.com/hvrw. “Being from the Hudson Valley, I have always been a huge believer in supporting our local businesses,” Fusco said. “This is our first time participating in restaurant week, and we know what a tremendous opportunity it gives Hudson Valley restaurants, farms, distilleries, breweries and purveyors to showcase our talents.” Publisher of The Valley Table magazine Janet Crawshaw said: “As food destinations and agritourism programs continue to gain popularity, aligning Westchester County with Hudson Valley Restaurant Week not only supports local restaurateurs, but also attracts visitors to the County.” Westchester County’s tourism industry, which ranks third in the state behind New York City and Long Island, represents 51 percent of all visitor spending in the Hudson Valley region. The county’s travel and tourism industry grew in 2017, with visitor spending up 3 percent to a record of $1.9 billion. “Westchester’s diverse and innovative culinary culture is a major contributor to our economy and our quality of life,” said Natasha Caputo, director of county Tourism and Film. “Hudson Valley Restaurant Week is a great op-

portunity for residents and visitors alike to discover new places and taste new flavors.” In 1996, Janet Crawshaw and Jerry Novesky took an eightmonth sabbatical, traveling 35,000 miles across the country seeking authentic American experiences. They found that local farms, bakeries, fish markets, wineries and breweries were the key to understanding the country’s distinct regions. Inspired by their trip and the Chefs Collaborative, an educational sustainable food movement, the couple returned to their home in the Hudson Valley with a mission to awaken the region’s food consciousness. In 1998, they launched The Valley Table, a colorful quarterly magazine that celebrates the agricultural heritage and cuisine of the region, leading the development of the Hudson Valley’s local food movement. Crawshaw and Novesky launched Hudson Valley Restaurant week in 2006 with a distinguished board of advisors, including chefs, restaurateurs and tourism leaders. The two-week

culinary event premiered with 70 restaurants. Today, with more than 185 participating restaurants spanning seven counties, it is among the largest restaurant week events in the country. Participating counties include Dutchess, Westchester, Columbia, Orange, Putnam, Rockland and Ulster. It has become a successful collaborative effort involving farmers, growers, wine makers and chefs. “As food destinations and agritourism programs continue to gain popularity, aligning Westchester County with Hudson Valley Restaurant Week not only supports local restaurateurs, but also attracts visitors to the county,” Crawshaw said.

Report: Fewer drivers drunk in NY

Newly released data from the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles shows New Yorkers are getting behind the wheel while impaired by alcohol or drugs less often. The Rosenblum Law Firm, a traffic ticket and criminal defense firm based in New York and New Jersey, published an analysis of the data on its website. The data shows crashes in which alcohol or drugs was a factor declined by 5.4 percent between 2009 and 2017 to 9,177. This is part of an overall trend toward fewer instances of impaired driving. “New York is very aggressive in targeting and penalizing drivers who get behind the wheel

drunk or on drugs,” said Adam Rosenblum, the firm’s principal attorney. “A drop in impaired driving, no matter how large or small, shows drivers are increasingly understanding both the safety and legal consequences of such actions.” The analysis also shows which counties have seen the largest declines in impaired driving and those which have seen an increase. For example, Tompkins County saw a 36 percent drop in impaired driving accidents, the largest percentage decrease that year. By contrast, Brooklyn, which had the second-most number of impaired crashes in 2017 also had one of the greatest increases, 23 percent, in such acci-

dents last year. “Everyone wants our roads to be as safe as possible,” Rosenblum said. “Between better decision making and the rise of convenient services such as Uber and Lyft, it’s comforting to know that New Yorkers are choosing safer alternatives to driving while intoxicated.” New York drivers can check their county’s specific DWI and traffic ticket data at traffictickets. com/data/. They can also search by other types of traffic offenses like cell phone usage and speeding, as well as accident data. The firm further analyzed other aspects of the data to provide interesting findings about a range of other ticket-related topics. (Submitted)

gar’s “Cello Concerto” in E minor, Op. 85. Of the composition, Segev said, “I feel spent after playing it… It is an elegy for a world that is no longer, and was written as a response to the great war—World War I. I believe the message in this work is timeless and universal.” Also on the program will be Dvořák’s Symphony No. 9, Op. 95 in E minor “From the New World.” Segev has performed as a soloist with orchestras around the world, from Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra to Bankok Symphony. The Symphony of Westchester, now in its 22nd season at Iona College, is a professional orchestra of more than 60 musicians. The performance will take place at Iona College’s Christopher J. Murphy Auditorium. For more info, visit thesymphonyofwestchester.org.

Exploring the Hudson Valley brick industry When the Erie Canal was opened in 1825, it fueled an era of prosperity that was ignited by the brick industry in cities and towns along the Hudson River. This industry is the subject of ArtsWestchester’s current exhibition, “Brick by Brick: The Erie Canal & the Building Boom,” which remains on view through Jan. 19. Installations of large-scale contemporary artwork will be on view, alongside historical materials, archival and commissioned photographs, and the personal narratives of individuals who witnessed the region’s once vital brick industry. Together, these elements tell a story with complex intersections of immigration, industry and innovation. Aaron Paige, ArtsWestchester director of Folk Arts, said, “This exhibition connects the materiality of brick as a historic and aesthetic object to the intangible stories that local residents construct around it.” For 12 artists, Hudson Valley bricks are the subject and material for artworks that create a narrative about the function, meaning and durability of these objects. For instance, photographer Christopher Payne was commissioned to capture the brickyards’ legacy through sites like the Old Croton Aqueduct and ruins of the castle on Bannerman Island. Artist Julia Whitney Barnes created “A Hudson River of Bricks,” a 25-foot installation that incorporates hundreds of historic Hudson Valley bricks to form a scale version of the Hudson River from New York City to Albany. A series of related programs will also take place in ArtsWestchester’s gallery. During a Nov. 3 event, which includes a brick swap, the region’s leading brick hunters and collectors will tell stories of discovery and adventure along the Hudson River. The following weekend, on Nov. 10, spiritual singers and storytellers will narrate the tale of bricks in Haverstraw’s African-American community. For more info, visit artsw.org/brickbybrick.

Pelham Art Center celebrates Hindu festival of lights As part of its folk arts series, Pelham Art Center will celebrate the Hindu festival of lights with its annual Diwali event on Nov. 18. As Hindus believe that light is the symbol of health, wealth and peace, this festival is meant to signify the victory of good over evil. The Diwali event will open with a performance of Indian classical dance by Sadhana Paranji. This “Kuchipudi Margam” dance will also encourage audience interaction when Paranji teaches hand gestures and footwork associated with the traditional dance form. Following the performance, visitors will participate in two hands-on arts activities. During the first workshop, guests will create scroll works based on the traditional Patua painting technique. The second workshop will demonstrate how to paint in the Sohari style with coffee and tea stains. The Diwali event will also offer henna body art, a temporary tattoo of intricate patterns that is made from henna leaf paste that dyes the skin for several days. For more info, visit pelhamartcenter.org.

alogue about environmental awareness. According to the exhibition’s curator, Miwako Tezuka: “Maya Lin is able to give an artistic shape to climate change and its many impacts on our environment so that we may arrive at a confluence of nature and humanity.” In one work, Lin compares Manhattan’s likely future based on targeted carbon-emission levels versus unchecked emissions. Lin, a Presidential Medal of Freedom winner who designed the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., will present a talk about environmental leadership with Jeffrey Sachs, professor of economics, on Nov. 11. Additional programs include a tour with Assistant Curator Ted Barrow on Nov. 3, a lecture titled “Gender, Water and Human Rights” on Nov.14, a presentation about the Hudson River as a life force on Nov. 18, and more. The exhibition is on view through Jan. 20, 2019. For more info about the exhibition and programs, visit hrm.org.

Yonkers Film Festival, YoFiFest, presents its sixth annual celebration of film on Nov. 2-11. The ten-day festival screens more than 150 films, from feature movies to student works. Focused showcases highlight films by women filmmakers, students, Westchester natives, members of the LGBT community and more. International and locally-made films provide screenings for a gamut of plotlines, including an inventor who creates a time machine to win back an ex-girlfriend in “Jasper,” Nov. 4; a profile on New York City street artist Fumero, “Fumero-ism: the Grafstract,” Nov. 8; and an Alexander Hamilton re-enactor in Philadelphia called “A Man Full of Trouble,” Nov. 10. Most screenings will be accompanied by Q&A talkback sessions. In addition, a series of workshops led by industry professionals introduces audiences to topics such as crowdfunding and marketing. After a red carpet reception launches the opening night celebrations, the parties, receptions and meetand-greet sessions continue throughout the festival, allowing filmmakers and fans to mingle. For more info, visit yofifest.com.

Maya Lin brings new works to Hudson River Acclaimed artist Maya Lin aims to highlight the human impact on nature in a series of new site-specific installations that explore the geology and topography of the Hudson River. “Maya Lin: a River is a Drawing,” on view at the Hudson River Museum, extends from the museum’s lobby, throughout significant portions of its galleries, and onto its outdoor courtyard, summoning its visitors to interact with various installations. Guests can walk amongst bamboo reeds for a 3D depiction of the Hudson River basin or descend the stairs under a wire sculpture that floats across the gallery space. The post-minimalist artist’s presentation of scientific data is meant to connect with the viewer on a visceral and emotional level. These fragile yet meticulous pieces work as building blocks to a di-

A change will do you good LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

Coaching high school sports can sure be a minefield. Caught between meeting the expectations of alumni, parents and administrators and actually providing the student athletes in one’s charge with hands-on leadership, coaches today have to perfect something of a balancing act if they want to hang around long term. On Oct. 22, Dominic Zanot tendered his resignation as Harrison High School’s football coach, becoming the latest in a long line to find that out the hard way. Taking over for two-time state champion coach Art Troilo Jr. in 2013, Zanot faced pressure from the outset, both in living up to the on-field reputation of his predecessor and in quieting a alumni community that was growing increasingly discontented with constant losses to rival Rye. Harrison has scored just one win over Rye in the last 16 years

and Zanot’s tenure saw the Huskies drop seven games to the Garnets, including two postseasons contests, losing the all-time series lead for the first time in 51 years in the process. Now, I’m sure the alumni meant well. Their one wish was to see Harrison once again return to dominance and they felt that Zanot wasn’t the right man for the job—if the multimedia presentation they gave to the Board of Education last winter is any indication. Ultimately, doesn’t constant griping about a coach’s win-loss record only serve to undermine the coach in question, ensuring a tumultuous season? Student-athletes are perceptive, they know when things are afoot. But every community is different. In Harrison, where the football program has been intrinsically linked to the town’s identity for generations, a prolonged slump simply couldn’t be tolerated before someone was to blame. Harrison, however, is hardly the only place where politics have an impact on high school sports. I grew up in Scarsdale, which

has never really been known as a hotbed for athletics. But just as my alma mater was experiencing perhaps its best stretch of collective dominance in the past 35 years, athletic director Ray Pappalardi either dismissed or accepted the resignations of seven varsity coaches in an 18-month span. The reason for these dismissals, most believe, is the vocal protestations of parents who felt that their children weren’t given a fair shot, either as captains or starters. So while the records might have been stellar, the resentment was still real and enough to result in a number of talented coaches losing their jobs. Zanot expressed desire to continue his coaching career somewhere else, and wherever he ends up next, he will likely have to learn to navigate a new culture, which brings with it its own unique set of issues. And the silver lining for Zanot is this; the Harrison-Rye rivalry has proved that there are second acts in football, especially for young coaches. Longtime Garnet head coach Dino Garr—now a beloved, 300-game winner set to

take his team to the Class A finals in his 40th year on the job—was once in a similar position. In 1978, after three lackluster years at the helm of the Rye program, and three consecutive losses to Harrison, Garr left to pursue an

opportunity at Westlake. By 1985, he was back on the sidelines at Rye, where he’s been ever since. So maybe, at this moment, a change of scenery might be a good thing; both for the town and for the coach. See a coach has the

ability to change, to learn and to grow. Changing a community’s culture, though, that’s a much taller task.
