Town Enacts 90-Day Moratorium on Major
Residential Construction Law
BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN
In an issue overwhelmingly supported by many Town
of Mamaroneck residents,
Council voted to enact a 90day Moratorium on Residential Construction Law at their
Wednesday, December 16th
meeting.
“We have had very serious changes in land use of
single family residents’ lots.
Those lots are not involved in

Champions
Two works by the modern sculptor Ernest Shaw
have been installed in the Village of Mamaroneck, part of a
new initiative by the Village of
Mamaroneck and the Village
of Mamaroneck Arts Council
called Arts Alive, making the
arts more visible to the community.
The sculptures, located
in an outdoor garden area,
are in the center of the village, near the Emelin Theater,
Mamaroneck Library and Vil-
lage of Mamaroneck Police
Department and Courthouse.
Titled “Jacob’s Ladder” and
“Untitled, Ruin Series,” the abstract weathered steel works
were the generous donation of
Arts Council member Michael
Rosenbaum and family.
“The Arts Council’s motto
is ‘Art is Community’ and this
significant donation brings the
work of a renowned sculptor to
our village, for the inspiration
and enjoyment of residents

Supervisor Nancy Seligson explained. “The Town does not
have much say what happens
on those single family lots unless they require a Variance.
“We are experiencing Mamaroneck houses being torn
down to build much larger
homes.
This has led to major land

The Hommocks Players Present
Bye Bye Birdie
The Hommocks Players will present the American musical comedy “Bye Bye
Birdie” on February 4, 5 and 6
at Hommocks Middle School,
Hommocks Auditorium, 130
Hommocks Rd., Larchmont.
The show’s 1950s themed music, high-spirited dancing, and
infectious laughs have been
delighting audiences for generations.
Under the direction of
Tom Jordan, producer Jill
Karliner with Kayo Matsushita, Deanna Smyers, Pedro
Johnson, and James Mullen,
over 125 Hommocks students
in sixth, seventh, and eighth
grades will perform in the
adapted musical version of
this classic story and world-renowned film.
Bye Bye Birdie is a stage
musical with book by Michael
Stewart, lyrics by Lee Adams,
and music by Charles Strouse.
The story was inspired by the
phenomenon of popular singer Elvis Presley and his draft
notice into the Army in 1957.
The original 1960-61 Broadway production was a Tony
Award-winning success as
was the film that starred Dick
Van Dyke, Janet Leigh, and
Ann-Margret.
The show revolves around
rock star Conrad Birdie. Women love him, men want to be
him, and teenagers across
America scream with glee at
the mention of his name. But
when he is suddenly drafted into the army, rather than
see it as patriotic, his manager prepares a publicity stunt

Grand Opening for Bayside
Travel in Bronxville
Bayside Travel is moving its office to 69
Pondfield Road in Bronxville and will be holding
a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony on
January 21 at 5:30pm. After enjoying 15 years as
part of the business community in Larchmont,
the move was driven by a desire to combine the
offices of Bayside Travel with its Gramatan Travel
division, which has been in Bronxville since the
1950’s.
Gramatan Travel will now be known as Bayside Travel. All 40 of the Bayside Travel advisors
will now operate out of one office to take advantage of the synergy of shared knowledge and experiences to bring their clients the best possible
luxury travel services. The agency is part of the
esteemed Virtuoso network and offers custom
luxury travel experiences and concierge services.
Bayside Travel has been selected as the Best
Travel Agency in Westchester for the past two
years by the readers of Westchester Magazine.
Bayside Travel was started in 1960 in Bayside,
Queens. In 1987, Barbara Nichuals purchased
the company and in 2000 moved it to Larchmont. Bayside Travel acquired Gramatan Travel
of Bronxville in 2003, which became a division of
Bayside Travel. Bayside Travel subsequently acquired Eastchester Travel, the staff of Days Trav- Barbara Nichuals
el and Earlfield Travel. Bayside Travel’s travel
advisor staff is multi-lingual, and averages over 20 years of experience each in the travel industry.
Some of their travel advisors are Certified Travel Specialists (CTS) and Certified Travel Advisors
(CTA), specialties that require many years of training to achieve this distinction. For more information phone 914.833.8880 or visit www.luxurytravelservice.com.

At Home on the Sound to Examine the Human Geography of Borders
At Home on the Sound will present Tim Alexander, a geography specialist, who will explore
an age-old, suddenly current topic — the borders that societies impose. His talk, “Borders, Borderlands, and Human Geography” on Tuesday, January 12, will review borders’ purposes, results
and varied impacts on society. He will also trace the stories behind such icons as the Great Wall
of China, the evolution of nation states, the partition of India and the rise and fall of the Ottoman
Empire. Alexander will discuss whether colonial “lines in the sand” are to blame for today’s Middle
East tensions/conflicts, and whether the European Union’s grand experiment of open borders will
survive or join the Iron Curtain as an historical failure.
Alexander has an MMA with Honors from the University of Rhode Island Graduate School
of Geography and an AB in Philosophy from Stanford. This program is open to the public without
charge at 4:00 pm, preceded by refreshments at 3:30 at Larchmont Avenue Church, Russell Hall,
60 Forest Park Avenue, Larchmont. For more information visit athomeonthe sound.org.
Academy-Award Winning Director Ang Lee to Westchester Teachers Learn About the
Speak at the Center for Continuing Education Holocaust With Visit To Germany and Poland
Ang
Lee,
the
Academy-Award winning
director
of “Brokeback
Mountain” and
“Life of Pi,” will
be speaking in
Mamaroneck
on
Thursday,
January 7 at 7:30
PM as part of
The Center for
Continuing Education’s “Notable Neighbors”
Ang Lee
series. Mr. Lee,
a native of Taiwan, is a long-time resident of Mamaroneck.
Michael DiGennaro, the Independent Film Series instructor for The Center, will moderate the
evening which will include film clips and a discussion of Mr. Lee’s notable body of work: “Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon; The Ice Storm; Sense and Sensibility; and The Hulk, among others. Mr. Lee’s
films have ranged from an exploration of the conflict between tradition and modernity to sexual
taboos and comic books. Attendees will also be getting a sneak peak about Lee’s latest work.
According to Executive Director Blythe Hamer, “Our goal at The Center js to bring the community together around a wide range of learning opportunities. Our Notable Neighbors series, which
began last year with former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, features some of our extraordinary local residents providing an inside look at their lives and experiences. We are thrilled to have Ang Lee,
one of today’s greatest contemporary film directors, share his creative process and insights with us.”
The event will take place at McClain Auditorium at Mamaroneck High School, 1000 West Boston Post Road. Tickets are $40. Students are admitted free. To purchase tickets or for further information on this program or The Center’s winter session, visit LMCCE.org or call 914-698-9126.
A select group of Westchester teachers who teach
the NYS mandated Holocaust
curriculum will be chosen
for an education mission to
Poland and Germany where
they will visit concentration
camps and other historical
sites. The mission, sponsored and subsidized by The
Holocaust & Human Rights
Education Center (HHREC),
will give teachers the opportunity to speak with experts
in the field.
“Our experience from
previous missions for teachers is that experiencing Holocaust sites firsthand helps
inspire and motivate them
in their preparation to teach
the lessons of the Holocaust
and human rights to their
students,” says HHREC Education co-director Julie Scallero. “Only 14 teachers will
qualify for this professional
development
opportunity,
and thanks to the generosity
of donors, the cost to individual teachers has been greatly
reduced.”
Valerie Moore O’Keeffe
Among the highlights
of the HHREC mission are
visits to Oskar Schindler’s
Factory (made famous in the
movie “Schindler’s List”),
the concentration camps at
Sachsenhausen, Auschwitz
and Birkenau, and a walking
tour of the Warsaw Ghetto.
There will be meetings with
Holocaust scholars, German
educators who teach the Holocaust, and studies of the
Peaceful Revolution and Sol-
idarity.
The Center has previously sponsored education
study journeys to Amsterdam and Poland (1997), Germany (1999), and Germany
and Poland (2012, 2014).
Teachers interested in applying should contact: Julie
Scallero or Steve Goldberg,
914.696.0738,
jscallero@
hhrecny.org or sgoldberg@
hhrecny.org, at the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center.
Valerie Moore O’Keeffe,
is Board Chair of The Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center. The mission
of the Center is to enhance
the teaching and learning
the lessons of the Holocaust
and the right of all people to
be treated with dignity and
respect. The Center helps
schools fulfill the New York
State mandate that the Holocaust and other human
rights abuses be included in
their curriculum.

Mamaroneck School District Launches New Elementary
Computer Science and Coding Curriculum
Computer Science and
Coding have become an integral part of the Mamaroneck
School District’s curriculum, with a new elementary
computer science program
launching in January 2016,
and more advanced coding
and programming continuing through middle school
and high school. Students
in grades 3, 4 and 5 will learn
how to program computers
-- writing programs to solve
problems, create digital art
and craft interactive stories
-- using web-based software
through code.org and Scratch,
a coding platform developed
by MIT.
“As we prepare for
our Hour of Code activities
throughout the District, we
are simultaneously getting
ready to launch our new elementary computer science
and coding curriculum for
students in grades three
through five,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Robert
I. Shaps. “This exciting new
initiative will make coding a
part of the regular school day
for our youngest students and
help lay a critical foundation
for the skills these students
will acquire in the upper
grades and even beyond high
school.”
Currently, students in
grades 6-8 at Hommocks
Middle School participate in
a two-week sequence in basic computer programming
principles (also using Scratch)
and are then able to put their
coding skills to the test as they
design, build and program robots to complete a variety of
tasks. Once at MHS, students
can opt to enroll in a variety
of computer science courses, which explore everything
from more advanced cod-
Dr. Robert I. Shaps
ing and computer hardware
functionality to web design
and mobile app development.
AP Computer Science, an ad-
vanced college-level course, is
offered in the third year of the
computer science sequence
and hones students’ program-
ming skills.
“The level and depth that
you go into at each level [elementary, middle, and high
school] is different, but knowing the terminology that’s
used in computer science
and computing is essential,
and we should be introducing students to this as early as
possible,” says MHS Computer
Science Teacher Jigar Jadav
in a preview video illustrating MUFSD’s commitment to
Computer Science and Hour
of Code.
Since the inception of
the computer science program at Mamaroneck High
School three years ago, the
number of students taking
computer science classes has
grown from 20 students in the
first year to 125 students this
year. Additionally, more than
40 students are participating
in the computer science, ro-
botics and coding clubs.
“In the past few years,
our students have participated in many local, regional and
national competitions, and
inevitably they fare on par or
above top schools across the
country. In fact, we’ve had
several teams of students submit entries into the Verizon
App Competition, and we’re
looking forward to those results,” Jadav says.
During the week of December 7-11, 2015 , Mamaroneck Public Schools, along
with millions of students in
180+ countries around the
world, celebrated an Hour
of Code as part of Computer
Science Week. Every student
at every school and grade
level throughout the district
spent a minimum of one hour
participating in an organized
instructional activity around
coding.

Sculpture Donation Marks “Arts Alive” Program in Village of Mamaroneck
continued from page 1
and visitors,” said Solange De
Santis, Arts Council chair. A
formal ceremony dedicating
the sculptures will take place
in the spring.
“My family and I have admired Ernest Shaw’s creations
for many years and we are delighted to make his work more
accessible to our community,”
said Rosenbaum. The Rosenbaum family has also donated Shaw’s sculptures to the
University of New Mexico and
Marquette University.
Mayor Norman S. Rosenblum noted that the “Friendly
Village” of Mamaroneck has
a long and involved history
of the arts, including, but not
limited to, the beginnings of
the movie industry in the United States. “It is with great joy
that we continue to add to that
history and expand the arts to
the enjoyment of all who live,
work and visit our amazing
community,” he said.
Arts Alive arose out of a
visioning session at the Arts
Council’s September 2015 meeting, where the council affirmed
that the arts should be an essential and visible part of village life,
enhancing a visual landscape
for residents and a destination
for visitors. The council is exploring additional Arts Alive
projects, including outdoor performances and murals.
Ernest Shaw (b. 1942),
has been a sculptor for three
decades, during which he has
explored a variety of media and
techniques and challenging
the fundamental concepts of
balance, composition, gravity,
compression and expansion.
His studio is located in
the Shawangunk Mountains
outside New Paltz, N.Y. He
has participated in many solo
and group exhibitions at such
noted galleries and museums
as the Museum of Arts and
Sciences, Daytona Beach, Fla.;
Sculpture Center, New York;
Hamilton Gallery, New York;
Storm King Art Center, Mountainville, N.Y.
Shaw’s work is included
in the collections of the Indianapolis Art Museum, Wichita
Art Museum, the Jewish Museum (New York) and in many
university collections throughout the United States. More

Westchester Jewish Center’s Early

Chanukah to Chai Lifeline
Town Enacts 90-Day Moratorium on Major Residential Construction Law
On Tuesday, December 8th, a representative from Chai Lifeline came to the Early Childhood Center to collect the toys
donated to WJC’s annual toy drive. Chai Lifeline’s programs and services “meet the unique emotional, social, and
financial needs of families living with serious pediatric illness or loss.” (www.chailifeline.org)
For many, Chanukah is a time to receive gifts. But Westchester Jewish Center Kids, the preschool classes at the Conservative synagogue in Mamaroneck, believe the Festival of Lights presents
an opportunity to share gifts with those less fortunate.

Town Attorney William

“This covers expansion of
the footprint of 35% of the current size and applies to razing
of 40% of a lot. It will be effective from January 1 through
March 31, 2016. Exceptions
will be made for hardships.
Another exception discussed

the Moratorium shall not apply to lots created by subdivision approved by the Planning
Board on or after November 1,
2013.”

Mamaroneck Public Library Community Room, 136 Prospect Avenue from 2:30 - 4:30pm. The featured speaker will be New York State Regent Judith Johnson speaking on “Public Education and The
Dream: Where Are We?”
Judith Johnson has a very distinguished history as superintendent of Peekskill and the Mount
Vernon school districts as well as a position in the Department of Education in Washington during
the ‘90s. Locally, she was also principal of Mamaroneck Avenue School.
This year, the award honoring a community member who best exemplifies Dr. King’s legacy
will go to two people; Kay Francis Richards and Clifford Wolf. Richards has been active and devoted
on many different boards serving the whole Larchmont- Mamaroneck community for many years.
Wolf has poured initiative and energy to the cause of inter-faith understanding among Christians,
Jews, and Muslims in the area ever since the events of 9-11.

Multiple Development Projects are Changing the
Face of the Village of Mamaroneck
the projects presently on the
table include a total of seven
affordable units. In terms of
how these new units might
impact services in the Village,
including the public schools,
Galvin downplayed the potential impact on the schools,
asserting that only a handful
of units were likely to have
school-aged children.
BY LINNET TSE
Current Hampshire plan
eliminates the golf course and
adds 105 residential units, but
it didn’t start out that way…Local Summit audience wonders
if the original condominium
plan would be preferable and
possible...Other projects could
add 160 more residential units
as well as retail/commercial
space in the Village…
Addressing a packed
room at the Local Summit’s
breakfast program at the Nautilus Diner in Mamaroneck
on November 17 were representatives from the Village of
Mamaroneck and from New
World Realty Advisors, LLC,
the organization responsible
for managing the redevelopment of Hampshire Country
Club. Village Manager Richard
Slingerland, accompanied by
Bob Galvin, Village Planner,
and Greg Cutler, the Assistant
Village Planner, provided an
overview of the development
projects currently in process
in the Village of Mamaroneck,
including Hampshire Country Club. Daniel Pfeffer and
Thomas Nappi, from New
World Realty Advisors, LLC,
provided details on their current plan to redevelop Hampshire Country Club.
Development Projects in the
Village of Mamaroneck
While the proposed redevelopment of Hampshire
Country Club has received
a lot of attention due in part
to the strong opposition
voiced by certain community
groups, few in the audience
were aware of the numerous
other development projects
currently underway or under
discussion in the Village of
Mamaroneck. These projects
could potentially change the
look and character of the Village as well as place a greater
burden on local services, including the public schools.
Recent Zoning and Proposed
Zoning Amendments in the
Village of Mamaroneck
Leading off, Richard
Slingerland reviewed recently
adopted and proposed zoning
amendments that are intended to encourage development
consistent with the Village’s
comprehensive plan update
Development projects include:

adopted in February 2012. The
main ones include:
• Transit Oriented Development (TOD): passed in
November 2014, the purpose
of this zoning change is to
revitalize the area on Mamaroneck Avenue west of the
train tracks. TODs aim to create mixed-use residential and
commercial space near active
train stations and promote
reduced reliance on personal
automobiles. Local examples
of TOD zoning include Bronxville, Mt. Kisco, Pelham and
Scarsdale.
• Library Lane: proposal
to rezone the west side of Library Lane from C-1 (general
commercial) to C-2 (downtown commercial), consistent
with the east side of the road.
Five properties on the west
side of Library Lane would be
affected, but the impact is ex-
pected to be minimal.
In addition, there are
other proposals aimed at: preserving the harbor views by
reducing the height of structures in the C-1 zones along
the Boston Post Road from 50
feet to 45 feet; encouraging
walkways from parking areas
behind Mamaroneck Avenue
to the Avenue; and facilitating
adaptive reuse of shuttered
church facilities in the Village.

Community Vote on Proposed Bond
BY THE MAMARONECK BOARD OF
EDUCATION
ANN LOBUE, PRESIDENT
MELANY GRAY, VICE PRESIDENT
TRUSTEES: PAUL BULOVA, ROGER
MARTIN, JAMES NEEDHAM, NANCY
PIERSON, AND STEVE WARNER
On Tuesday, January
12th, 2016, the community will
vote on a proposed bond plan
to improve Mamaroneck High
School’s physical education instructional spaces, which span
both the Boston Post Road and
Palmer Avenue sides of the
building. This bond proposal
will impact all students at the
high school – about 1,500 of
them – who are required by
New York State to take physical education (PE) in order to
graduate, as well as all District
students who are in the younger grades and will eventually
attend the high school. Additionally, among these 1,500
students, approximately 60%
are involved in one or more
interscholastic sports, which
means they spend a significant
amount of time in our facilities training, practicing and
competing against other high
schools.
Key Issues Being Addressed:
Health, Safety & Security measures
○ Replace end-of-life infrastructure
○ Improve ventilation
○ Provide secure, appropriately sized lockers
○ Renovate bathroom/shower facilities
Re-Purpose Existing Space to Deliver Daily PE Program
for Growing Number of Students
○ Create adequate changing areas for students
○ Reconfigure space to deliver required NY State PE curriculum
○ Meet updated curriculum objectives
* Additionally, Mamaroneck High School is the designated Red Cross emergency evacuation site for Larchmont and Mamaroneck residents. (Currently, the high
school has only one working shower in the entire building.)
Lack of lockers requires valuables to be left in hallways, leading to theft;
students often change for PE in the hallway.
No anticipated tax rate
increase as a result of the
proposed bond
Capital bonds are the way school districts finance the
maintenance and upgrade of aging facilities. Bonds enable
districts to strategically spread out the expenses of capital
work over time.
Recent Mamaroneck School District bonds have been
used to upgrade HVAC, plumbing, electrical infrastructure, roofs, masonry work, etc. Debt service payments for
these bonds are included in the annual District budgets. As
current bonds are paid down, payments on this proposed
$9,344,305 bond are projected to kick in, starting in the
2017-18 school year, thus enabling the district to make
these needed improvements without increasing taxes due
to additional debt service payments. This means that debt
service payments -- and the impact on taxpayers -- would
remain relatively flat.
For a breakdown of cost projections and bond items,
visit www.mamkschools.org.
Existing spaces (Palmer basement weight room, shown above) are underutilized due to dark conditions, poor ventilation, no running water.

spaces and locker rooms. If you
would like to see the existing facilities for yourself, the District
is offering two upcoming tours
for community members on
Thursday, January 7th, 2016, at
5pm and 7pm.
We look forward to seeing
you in the new year.

Multiple Development Projects are Changing the Face of the Village of Mamaroneck
W. Boston Post Road (formerly McGuire’s site): 7-unit townhouse development across
from the West Basin of Mamaroneck Harbor
• Approved project – 151
Mamaroneck Avenue (formerly Chatsworth Auctions
site): rehabilitation of existing
space to include commercial
space and 10 residential units
• Proposed TOD project
– 690 Mamaroneck Avenue
(formerly 3 Jalepenos site):
application for mixed use residential and commercial building with 21 residential units,
two of them affordable units,
and 2,600 square feet of commercial space.
• Proposed project – 620
W. Boston Post Road: 6 residential units across from Orienta Avenue
• Proposed project – 120
Madison Street (formerly
Strait Gate Church site): requires approval of a proposed
zoning change to enable
adaptive reuse of the existing
church to an Aqua-Tots swimming instruction facility.
Note: Aqua-Tots, which specializes in swimming instruction for children, has franchises in over fifteen states,
including a popular facility in
Harrison.
• Court-ordered – 270
Waverly Avenue (formerly
Blood Brothers): 96 units, 5 of
which must be below market
rate
• Potential sites on the
west side of Library Lane: estimated 12-15 residential units
Responding to questions
from the audience, Galvin
shared that while parking was
considered for each individual
project, the Village has not reviewed overall parking needs
resulting from the addition
of the new/proposed development projects. The audience
also inquired if there would
be additional public transit
service put in place to service
the needs of development in
the TOD; as of now, there are
no plans for expanding transit
services.
Longer-term Development
Initiative: Industrial Area
Visioning Plan
Looking
longer-term,
in an effort to revitalize the
Village’s declining industrial
area, a major “visioning plan”
for the Village’s industrial
area is currently underway.
Early in 2015, the Village’s Industrial Area Redevelopment
Committee hired New York
City-based rePlace Urban Studios as consultants to help
develop a long-term revitalization plan for the industrial
area, including attracting new
industry to the area.
Hampshire Country Club
Re-Development Plan
While the current proposal calls for eliminating the
golf course, and adding 44 single-family homes and 61 townhouses scattered throughout
the 116-acre property, most
of which lies in the Village of
Mamaroneck, as Dan Pfeffer
explained, New World Realty
Advisors’ (NWRA) plans for
Hampshire did not start out
that way.
In December 2009, the
financially ailing golf club
closed its doors. After the Village of Mamaroneck and the
Town of Mamaroneck, working together, failed to reach an
agreement with the owners to
purchase the property, Hampshire was sold to NWRA in
June 2010 for $12.1 million.
The Hommocks Players Present Bye Bye Birdie
which ultimately backfires.
The result includes memorable songs and unforgettable
theatrical moments.
Show times are Thursday,
February 4, 2016 at 7:00 pm;
Friday, February 5, 2016 at 7:00
pm; and Saturday, February 6,
2016, one showing at 1:00 pm
and another at 7:00 pm.
Tickets can be purchased
online starting January 18th
and will end on January 30th
at
www.hommocksmusical.
com. All tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Patrons can also visit the website
to donate tickets for families in
need, peruse rehearsal photographs, see a full cast list, make
a donation or learn more about
the show. Tickets are available
for purchase in school starting
February 1st.
The cast, crew and volunteers have worked hard to
make this year’s production a
spectacular musical experience for adults and children
of all ages and a must see
community event! So “Put on
a Happy Face” and sing along
with the cast of Bye Bye Birdie!
Hampshire
submitted
the current plan to the Village of Mamaroneck on June
26, 2015. Unlike the previous
two proposals that were rejected, it does not require any
zoning changes. Proposed
development will not be in
the marine zone, where the
current clubhouse resides.
The single family homes will
be scattered throughout the
current golf course. When
questioned about how the
developers will deal with the
flooding issues that Hampshire is known for, Pfeffer
noted that by carefully selecting where the homes are
located, they will build in areas above the predicted flood
plain, in keeping with FEMA
regulations. Although the golf
course would be destroyed,
the club house, swimming
pool, and tennis courts would
be preserved and renovated
under this plan.
When asked by Larchmont resident and The STEM
Alliance
president
Meg
Käufer which plan would
most meet the needs of the
community, and if both plans
were still on the table, Pfeffer
responded that he felt that
the original plan for condominiums would be best
for the community in that it
would respond to a housing
need for empty nesters and
would have minimal impact
on the community in terms of
services required, including
schools. While the original
condominium plan is no longer on the table, Galvin noted
that when the Planning Board
reviews Hampshire’s plans, it
might be one of the options
they consider.
As reported by Richard Slingerland following
the Local Summit meeting,
on November 18, the Village
of Mamaroneck’s Planning
Board approved the Scope
for an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) process for
the Hampshire redevelopment project. This will require Hampshire to prepare
a Draft EIS, and have it circulated, reviewed, edited and
supplemented to become a
Final EIS. Upon completion
of SEQRA, then the site plan
can be adjusted and finalized.
Slingerland estimates that
the whole process will likely
take from one to two years,
based on the average amount
of time that SEQRA reviews
normally take.
[Note that a $55 million
lawsuit by the club against
the Village over the process of
rejecting their rezoning proposal remains in progress.]
This breakfast forum was
hosted by The Larchmont-Mamaroneck Local Summit, a
volunteer community organization founded in 1995 dedicated to facilitating dialog
and collaboration among government, schools, non-profits,
business and citizens in order
to promote positive change
within the tri-municipal Mamaroneck, Larchmont and Rye
Neck community. Its monthly
public meetings are usually
held at the Nautilus Diner in
Mamaroneck at 7:45 a.m. on
the third Tuesday of the month.
County Executive Astorino and Mayor McAndrews
Celebrate the Opening of DeCicco & Sons
On Friday, December
18, on Palmer Avenue in
Larchmont a new era of supermarketing began with the
opening of DeCicco & Sons
market. With just the right
recipe of innovative, “Green &
Clean” technologies with the
old world philosophy of Quality First, the exciting Grand
Opening celebration included Larchmont Mayor Anne
McAndrews and Westchester
County Executive Rob Astorino, who presented a proclamation to the DeCicco Family
stating that “December 18,
2015 be declared DeCicco &
Sons Recognition Day in Westchester County.”
The things that are “traditional” about DeCicco &
Sons’ sixth and newest store
are the consistent quality of
the food and service that this
family supermarket chain has
been known for over 40 years.
Winner of various
awards, including the 2015
Best Family Owned Business
Award in Westchester, as well
as multiple categories of Westchester Magazine’s ‘Best Of
Westchester’ awards, including ‘Best Gourmet Market,’
this new DeCicco & Sons is
one of the nation’s most energy-efficient, and cleanest &
Greenest supermarkets. Visually, the 25,000 square ft. store
is a sparkling beauty, complete
with a second story mezzanine that features a full-service craft beer & wine bar and
Ribbon Cutting: DeCicco Family members with Larchmont Mayor Anne McAndrews
and Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino
a rotating selection of beers on
tap. The area also offers ample
room for dining, relaxing, television and wifi access. This area is
only one facet of DeCicco & Sons’
shopping experience. It’s the
unique, technological advancements that’s “behind the scenes”
that makes the new DeCicco &
Sons supermarket extraordinary.
According to John DeCicco,
Jr., President of DeCicco & Sons,
“Life is only important when it
has an impact on the lives of others. So when it comes to the world
we live in, our generation has to
make a commitment to meet the
energy challenges put before us
and sustain a clean and healthy
environment… for now, and for
future generations. With our new
DeCicco & Sons store in Larchmont, we have the opportunity to
present our customers and employees with a new paradigm in
the supermarket shopping experience: a store that incorporates
intelligent, energy-efficiency and
on-site clean, and green renewable energy, every minute, every
day. At the same time, it will continue to be true to our Quality
First brand by delivering the very
best quality food and products,
the very best selection, with the
very best service”.
DeCicco & Sons’ is reinforcing the “green philosophy” by
pursuing a highly standardized
certification via strong governmental leadership and encouragement. As DeCicco explains,
“One of our objectives is to aggressively attain one of the most
significant “Green” certifications
that the Federal Government has
to offer. It’s called
a LEED Certification”. As part of the
U.S. Green Business Council, LEED
(Leadership in Energy & Environmental
Design) is considered the world’s premier benchmark for
high-performance
green
buildings,
with a certification
program that recognizes best-in-class
building
strategies and practices.
LEED-certified facilities are designed
to save money and resources,
and have a positive impact on
the health of occupants, while
promoting renewable, clean
energy.”
DeCicco continued, “I
have learned that the successful solution for utmost energy
efficiency is not doing only
one thing, but doing many
things … having all of the advancements and technologies
working together as one. So it’s
a significant investment, but
we firmly believe, a smart one
with long lasting dividends for
this generation and the ones
to follow.”
The new DeCicco & Sons
Larchmont is located at 2141
Palmer Avenue - 914-873-4447.

Rebuild NY Now Statewide Campaign Stops in Westchester County
Rebuild NY Now, a broadbased coalition seeking to raise

Westchester Takes Steps to Adapt to Climate Change
In December, the Board of Legislators voted to make
Westchester the latest community to become a New York
Climate Smart Community. The resolution, introduced by
Legislator Catherine Parker, aims to find energy efficiencies and cost savings available to municipalities and promote economic growth in the expanding green technology
field.
Formally adopting the Climate Smart Communities
Pledge initiates a community’s commitment to GHG emission reduction and climate adaptation. The Climate Smart
Communities Pledge includes all the elements of a successful local climate program. By reducing GHG emissions and
preparing for a changing climate, local climate programs
protect public health and safety, and support a secure economic future.
“Reducing energy costs and improving operation efficiency will save taxpayer dollars for many years after the
initial cost is paid,” Parker explained. “Climate smart land
use practices, like the ones prescribed in this resolution,
can also lower the cost of infrastructure and public services.”
Providers of “green” (energy efficiency and renewable energy) products and services -- and the workers who
install and maintain these products -- will benefit as communities increase efficiency and adopt clean technologies. Legislator Catherine Parker
Parker added, “Green technologies generate more jobs per dollar than conventional fuel technologies, and
these dollars are more likely to be retained in the local economy.”
According to the American Solar Energy Society, the renewable energy and energy efficiency sectors have
the potential to generate up to 37 million jobs by 2030 - more than 17 percent of all anticipated employment in
the nation.
The Climate Smart Pledge is comprised of the following 10 elements: Pledge to be a Climate Smart Community; Set goals, inventory emissions, plan for climate action; Decrease community energy; Increase community use of renewable energy; Realize benefits of recycling and other climate-smart solid waste management
practices; Reduce greenhouse gas emissions through use of climate-smart land use tools; Enhance community
resilience and prepare for the effects of climate change; Support development of a green innovation economy;
Inform and inspire the public; and Commit to an evolving process of climate action.
Many Westchester municipalities have already taken the pledge including: City of New Rochelle; City of
Peekskill; City of Rye; City of White Plains; City of Yonkers; Town of Bedford; Town of Cortlandt; Town of Greenburgh; Town of Lewisboro; Town of Mamaroneck; Town of New Castle; Town of North Castle; Town of North
Salem; Town of Ossining; Town of Pound Ridge; Town of Somers; Town of Yorktown; Village of Ardsley; Village of
Dobbs Ferry; Village of Croton-on-Hudson; Village of Hastings-on-Hudson; Village of Irvington; Village of Larchmont; Village of Mamaroneck; Village of Mount Kisco; Village of Ossining; Village of Port Chester; Village of Tarrytown; Village of Sleepy Hollow.

to Chambers of Commerce and
elected officials from across New
York have come together because our crumbling roads and
bridges are in serious need of
attention and, more importantly,
are in serious need of a multibillion dollar capital commitment
from the State. Renewing a commitment to the historic parity
agreement between roads and
bridges and transit will not only
create jobs and save New Yorkers
money – but it will ensure the
safety and well-being of Westchester families who every day
ride on roads and bridges that
are in a state of disrepair.”

The Sharing Shelf of FSW and Junior League
of Westchester on the Sound Collaborate on
Successful Teen Boutique Event
On Saturday, November 14th, 2015, The
Sharing Shelf of Family Services of Westchester
(FSW) held its seventh semi-annual Teen Boutique
event for teenage girls at the New York Covenant
Church in New Rochelle. Nearly 170 girls from
communities throughout Westchester County
had an opportunity to “shop” for clothing, shoes
and accessories, which had been donated by Westchester residents and displayed boutique-style by
volunteers. The Junior League of Westchester on
the Sound (JLWOS) partnered with The Sharing
Shelf on this event. FSW Board member Dierdra
Gray Clark, a minister at the New York Covenant
Church, arranged for the space to be made available to The Sharing Shelf free of charge.
“I am amazed by the incredible volunteers
who step forward every year to make this event a
success,” said Deborah Blatt, Program Director. “We saw an outpouring of donations from throughout the Westchester community. I am so grateful to stores and businesses who either donated items
or opened their doors as collection sites.” More than180 volunteers were on hand over 3 days to help
create the one-day event. “All of this effort is completely worth it when you see the faces of the girls
who walk away with their bags brimming with “new” clothing,” added Ms. Blatt. “Clothing is way of
expressing themselves and contributes to their self esteem. I see it when the girls are shopping –
they arrive reserved and shy, then leave smiling from ear to ear.”
“The Junior League of Westchester on the Sound is proud to support The Sharing Shelf of FSW
in giving these local teens, many of whom don’t have the means to purchase even the basic clothing
essentials, a shopping experience they will never forget. This year’s Teen Boutique is helping more
teens from families in need than ever,” said Cara Gentile, a committee chair for JLWOS.
The girls who attended were from Port Chester, New Rochelle, White Plains, Ossining, Yonkers, Mount Vernon, Sleepy Hollow, Pleasantville, Mamaroneck, Dobbs Ferry and Elmsford. They
had been referred by 22 different social service agencies, schools, community groups or churches.
By the end of the day, over 4,500 items had been distributed not only to the girls who attended but
others from residential facilities such as Children’s Village, St. Christopher’s and the Jewish Child
Care Association, who were unable to be there. The girls were able to choose from a wide array of
items, including shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, skirts, dresses, jeans, coats, handbags, scarves, belts
and costume jewelry. Taneyasha, one of the teens, commented, “I love that everything is free! I found
everything I need and now I’m helping my friend shop.”
“Teen Boutique exemplifies the importance of neighbors helping neighbors,” said Susan
B. Wayne, President and CEO at FSW. “Each of these events demonstrates FSW’s commitment to
strengthening individuals and families in Westchester County.”

A New Year’s Resolution for the Whole Family
BY BERNARD A. KROOKS, CELA
As 2016 gets underway,
many of us have made or will
make resolutions about things
we are going to do to improve
our lives or the lives of people
we care about. I’d like to talk
about one that perhaps you
may not have thought about.
Many adult children are concerned that their parents may
not have a proper estate plan
in place. The children are worried that if something happens
to one or both parents, the children will not be equipped to
assist their parents, and many
times the children have no idea
where the parents stand financially. Understandably, these
subjects may be hard for children to discuss with their parents. The children do not want
to appear greedy, and the parents may fear loss of control or
independence.
So, how can you approach
your parents about these issues? First, you should get
your own house in order; make
sure that you have executed
your own will, durable power of attorney, and advance
medical directives. After you
learn about these tools, then
you should be able to approach
your parents by referring to
the fact that you have taken
care of these matters for yourself. Then, ask your parents if
they have done the same planning. The goal is to balance
safety with independence, and
to not wait until an emergency
strikes to start planning. Don’t
first ask them if they have done
a will; this approach may reinforce any impression of greediness on your part, and it can
scare away those parents who
don’t want to think about their
own mortality. Focus instead
on the durable power of attorney and advance medical directives; ask your parents who
can make financial and medical decisions for them if they
cannot make the decisions for
themselves. You can give the
example of a temporary disability that may require someone to help pay the bills or
make medical decisions.
If your parents already
have a plan in place, then see
if they will let you know where
they keep their documents.
If you can, ask to review their
documents and get the name
of their attorney. The attorney
may not be able to talk with
you at that point in time, but
you will know where to turn in
case of an emergency. If your
parents do not have a plan in
place, then you should suggest
that they make an appoint-
ment with a certified elder law
attorney. Your parents may let
you schedule an appointment
for them, but you need to be
aware that the parents, not the
children, will be the clients of
the attorney.
You will also want to know
where your parents keep other
important documents such
as safe deposit box keys, birth
certificates, passports, deeds,
insurance policies, investment
and bank statements, tax returns, Social Security cards,
and medical insurance cards
and information. If your parents do not want to share this
information with you, then ask
them to prepare a list and let
you know where the list can
be found in case of an emergency. You should assess your
parents’ current financial
situation to see whether your
parents have sufficient income
Kitchen & Bath Insider© #182 -- Face
Transplant Update
BY PAUL BOOKBINDER, M.I.D., C.R.
More akin to science fiction than science fact, several people have received face
transplants in the last couple
of years. Now relegated to only
the most horrific accidents,
like most medical miracles,
as the techniques are perfected, this type of operation
will eventually become much
more commonplace. Once that
happens, it’s only a matter of
time until the procedure will
become available as elective
surgery for those who are not
pleased with their existing faces, or maybe just want a new
look. After all, who wants to go
around their whole lives with
the same old face? Wouldn’t it
be nice to re-face for your 25th
high school reunion? And then
again for your 30th?
Fortunately, great strides
have also been made in face
transplants for your kitchen
(and other) cabinetry. As materials and techniques have
been perfected, refacing your
kitchen can now be done on an
elective, economical basis and
when it’s done right, it can be
indistinguishable from a new
kitchen, beautifying all those
unsightly spots that have embarrassed you for years.
In the not so distant
past, a few brave practitioners
risked their reputations using
early refacing techniques. You
could choose from a catalog
of about three different styles
and colors for refacing, and
most of those were brittle laminate doors that had no detail.
To make matters worse, the
material was adhered to the
face of the cabinets with contact cement, a terribly toxic,
highly flammable adhesive
that had a life expectancy of 10
to 15-years. Not very enticing!
So the scientists at Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing (3M) got to work and
created a new adhesive that
is non-toxic, non-flammable,
odorless, and gets stronger as
it ages! It doesn’t get any better
than that! Then someone (I’m
not sure exactly who) created a
material called Rigid-Thermofoil, also known as RTF. This
new wonder product is a vinyl-like material which is fused
onto furniture grade composition board. Using computer
controlled heat and pressure
to create the finished product,
it is flexible, much more resilient than the old laminates of
yesteryear, and can be formed
into different shaped doors
enabling the manufacturers
to create hundreds of exciting styles. But they didn’t stop
there. New photographic techniques were developed to duplicate the beauty of real wood.
This year, they even came out
with an RTF product that looks
just like stainless steel, creating a very attractive, contemporary look for your cabinets.
In 1951, Raymond Lowey,
the famous industrial designer (and one of my personal
heroes) wrote a book entitled Never Leave Well Enough
Alone. Apparently, the manufacturers who make wood
doors for refacing recently discovered this book because they
decided to introduce replacement doors in new shapes and
wood species. No longer are
you relegated to just oak, maple and cherry. Now you can
reface in eco-friendly bamboo,
walnut, mahogany and sapele
to name just a few. Then the
guys at 3M got together with
the manufacturers who crafted wood veneer and it was a
marriage made in heaven.
So, if some unforeseen
disaster has caused all your
cabinetry to deteriorate, this
is a great time to investigate
refacing. As the procedure became more popular, the cost
associated with the process
has lowered considerably, just
like people refacing will after it
too becomes more routine.
Modern science has taken
giant steps forward in refacing
people as well as kitchens. To
quote the Wicked Witch of the
West, as her face deteriorated,
“What a world, what a world!”
(Unfortunately her face, along
with the rest of her, melted
to the point that a transplant
would not be recommended.)
But she could have had a beautiful kitchen.

and resources to meet their
needs. If your parents will not
discuss these issues with you,
then perhaps you might consider asking a trusted friend of
your parents to talk with them
to encourage a family dialogue.
To help overcome this
generational communication
gap, here are some conversation-starting questions that
adult children can ask their
parents. The list is not all-inclusive; feel free to use whatever questions you think your
parents will be most comfortable with.
1. Do you feel comfortable
about your financial situation? Would a financial
planner be helpful?
2. Do you have an estate
plan?
3. Who should handle your
finances if you become
ill?
4. In the event you become
seriously ill, what level
of care and intervention
would you like?
5. Do you have enough
health insurance?
6. Do you feel your physician is well-informed
about issues common to
older patients?
7. Can we make your home
more comfortable?
8. Are you feeling secure
about driving?
9. Can you share your
thoughts about your
funeral?
10. Can you compile a list of
all your important information?

While these are not pleasant topics to discuss, they are
better addressed ahead of time
instead of during a crisis situation. If plans need to be made
or if existing plans need to be
changed, then the time to accomplish these objectives is
prior to an emergency while
the parents still have the capacity to get their affairs in order. By taking care of this in advance, you will save your family
a lot of heartache and expense.

Community String Day at the Larchmont Avenue
Church
Youtube sensation Rhett Price visited Larchmont on Saturday, November 21st to lead an interactive masterclass and to perform with his band for the third-annual Community String Day. The
event was held at the Larchmont Avenue Church and hosted by the Larchmont Music Academy. The
participants were violinists, violists, and cellists between fourth grade and twelfth grade from all
around the community.
The event was a huge success as the students took part in sectionals led by Larchmont Music
Academy and Mamaroneck School District faculty members and learned to play “See You Again” by
Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth. Students also had an amazing time learning to improvise with
LMA faculty member Andie Springer and participating in a fiddle workshop with Melissa Tong.
Community String Day culminated with a student performance of “See You Again” and a concert by Rhett Price and his band.

For the second community read, The Mamaroneck and Larchmont Public Libraries have announced the title for the “One Book, One Community” series of events scheduled to take place in
April 2016. Using the book, The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown, a variety of programs will
be offered including an art exhibit, movie series, book discussion groups, a rowing exhibition and a
tour of Derecktor Shipyards.
The book tells the story of the University of Washington’s 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic
quest for an Olympic gold medal. Using the working class boys’ diaries, journals, photos and memories, the book is a story about beating the odds and finding hope during the Great Depression.
To register your organization to host a program, contact Susan Riley at The Mamaroneck Public
Library, 698-1250 or Laura Eckley at the Larchmont Public Library, 834-2281.
