Town submits proposal for new LMCTV homeBy JACKSON CheN

Staff Writer

The Town of Mamaroneck has submitted its lease proposal to house the nonprofit public ac-cess TV corporation LMCTV, which will serve as an alternate option to the old firehouse in the Village of Mamaroneck.

LMCTV has long been searching for a new consolidat-ed base of operations. LMCTV, which broadcasts live viewings and replays of government and school board meetings for the villages of Larchmont and Ma-maroneck and the Town of Ma-maroneck, is aiming to expand its various programming and push for a stronger community presence.

Currently scattered through-out three locations in Mama-roneck, LMCTV has two prop-erty options to serve as its new headquarters: the village’s old firehouse at 147 Mamaroneck Ave. or the third floor of the Town of Mamaroneck Center at 740 W. Boston Post Road.

To that end, Mamaroneck

Town Administrator Stephen Altieri submitted a lease offer to LMCTV on Sept. 8. Accord-ing to the lease proposal, the town would provide the orga-nization with a 12-year lease for a 4,950-square-foot space in the town center.

The proposal added that the annual rent would be $49,500, but would remain rent-free for a year while LMCTV reno-vates the space for their stu-dios. Additionally, the propos-al allows for decreases in rent if the Cablevision and Verizon franchise fees decrease as the television organization’s rev-enue fluctuates.

For Town Councilman Tom Murphy, a Democrat, the cable industry has already started seeing a downward trend and is subject to tough competition from the likes of Hulu, an on-line TV streaming service.

“In the proposal, as their franchise fees fall, their rent will decrease,” Murphy said of the town’s proposal. “This hopefully will enable them to survive whatever ups and

downs the cable industry is going to suffer in the next de-cade.”

Murphy, who also hosts his own show on LMCTV, added that if the organization decided on the town center as its head-quarters, they’d deal with much less renovation expenses and would not need to worry about a multitude of utility fees since they’d be part of the town center.

“What we’re trying to do is make sure that this vital asset to our community survives,” Murphy said. “It might not be as sexy as the firehouse, but it’s a lot more pragmatic.”

While LMCTV just received the town’s proposal, their other option, the Village of Mama-roneck’s old Hook and Ladder firehouse on 147 Mamaroneck Ave., has already been met with a counter lease offer, ac-cording to Erik Lewis, LMC-TV’s chief executive officer.

According to Mamaroneck Village Manager Richard Slingerland, since the con-tracts are under negotiation, they were not readily available

to the public.Lewis, who also recently

reviewed the town’s proposal, said it was a solid option, but the village’s old firehouse was a much more prime location.

“[The firehouse] gives us a greater presence in the commu-nity,” Lewis said, “which will allow us to do greater outreach and be more effective in reach-ing the entire community.”

While Lewis and the rest of his team favor the firehouse location, he said it was up to LMCTV’s Board of Controls to make the decision. The Board of Controls is an inter-municipal governing body of representa-tives from the villages of Larch-mont and Mamaroneck and the Town of Mamaroneck that over-sees the organization’s funds.

Despite both proposals being received, Lewis said there’s no set date as to when the Board of Controls will decide on which offer to accept. He added that the board was currently nego-tiating with the village’s of-fer and will eventually form a counter offer for the town’s proposal.

At Home on the SoundA talk by Times journalist Joseph Berger

At Home on the Sound has invited longtime Larchmont resident Joseph Berger to talk about his recent trip to Poland on Monday, Sept. 28. The journalist’s observations were featured on the cover page of the New York Times travel section re-cently. Berger and his sister visited the hometowns of their parents, Holocaust survivors, who suffered greatly during World War II. Berger will report on the surprising observations they made search-ing for their Jewish heritage on visits to Warsaw, Auschwitz, Krakow, Treblinka and to his father’s town, now part of Ukraine.

A newsman for more than 45 years, Berger re-cently retired after three decades with the Times. Born in Russia where his Polish parents fled dur-ing WWII, he entered the U.S. as a displaced per-son. His first book, “Displaced Persons: Growing Up American After the Holocaust,” tells the story of his upbringing as a refugee.

This free program, open to the public, will he held in Russell Hall in the Larchmont Avenue Church, 60 Forest Park Ave. Note the talk is a Monday, not the usual Tuesday. Come for refresh-ments at 3:30 p.m., program starts at 4 p.m. For more information, call 899-3150.

Stranger Than Fiction book groupJoin us on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. as we read

and discuss “Kim Philby: A Spy Among Friends” by Ben MacIntyre. Kim Philby was the greatest spy in history, a brilliant and charming man who rose to head Britain’s counterintelligence against the Soviet Union during the height of the Cold War—while he was secretly working for the en-emy. And nobody thought he knew Philby like Nicholas Elliott, Philby’s best friend and fellow officer in MI6. The two men had gone to the same schools, belonged to the same exclusive clubs, grown close through the crucible of wartime intel-ligence work and long nights of drink and revelry. It was madness for one to think the other might be a communist spy, bent on subverting Western values and the power of the free world. Told with heart-pounding suspense and keen psychological insight, and based on personal papers and nev-er-before-seen British intelligence files, “A Spy Among Friends” is MacIntyre’s best book yet, a high-water mark in Cold War history telling.

Letters to the Editor

Parker’s charging station legislation flawedTo the Editor,On Sept. 9, Catherine Parker convened a hearing on her proposed legislation to dedicate 10 percent of

parking spaces to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at new or renovated parking lots owned or fi-nanced by Westchester County. But before the Board of Legislators conspires with the New York Power Authority to install these units, they should ask three critical questions:

What will it cost?More than its proponents will admit.Many state and federal programs entice communities to do their bidding with initial capital costs and

temporary subsidies. When those contributions expire, however, the county will find itself stuck with maintenance costs, including labor—and the associated increases in healthcare and pension expenses—indefinitely.

Who pays?All taxpayers pay directly; commuters and other drivers pay indirectly.Let’s not forget the non-monetary cost of converting 10 percent of available parking to EV charg-

ing stations. Commuters, local businesses and their customers will be inconvenienced by reductions in already scarce parking, while just 1 percent of vehicle owners park and recharge. Intended as an incen-tive to invest in low-emission vehicles, in practice this would penalize all other drivers seeking a place to park.

It’s easy to say that the state government is paying for this initiative, but it’s important to remember that no government—at any level—has money of its own. All government spending is funded by our hard-earned current or future tax dollars. New Yorkers don’t have infinite bank accounts, so we have to make smart choices or end up paying ever higher taxes for all manner of government “freebies.”

Who benefits?Tesla owners.Whether those taxpayers are in Westchester or any other New York county, it’s safe to say that most of

them don’t have—or can’t afford—an electric vehicle, which because of its limitations is by definition a second car. Do we really want to allocate scarce resources to benefit the 1 percent who can afford a $79,000 Tesla? Surely that money would have equal or better impact on our environment by improving bus or rail service.

I believe in the efficiency of markets. If there is a demand for EV charging stations, we can count on the private sector to provide them. As our county legislator, my goal will be to limit the cost and scale of government so we can keep and use more of our money to pursue our own priorities. The Board of Legislators should not preempt the actions of an entrepreneur who might create new jobs and pay taxes. Otherwise, it will be the 99 percent who picks up the tab.

Neil Degrasse Tyson talks science and news at Manhattanville

By JAMeS PeROStaff Writer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


Neil Degrasse Tyson spent much of his lecture at Reid Castle sifting through popular news and sorting the truth from embellishment.

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

Famed astrophysicist and TV host Neil Degrasse Tyson took the stage at Manhattanville’s Reid Castle on Sept. 9 as a part of the school’s ongoing Castle Conversations series.


Village parks to receive $220K renovationsBy JAMeS PeRO

Staff Writer

Several of Mamaroneck’s rec-reational courts are ready to get back on their A-game follow-ing the village’s allocation of $220,000 toward much-needed renovations.

On Sept. 16, the Board of Trustees voted to allot the mon-ey, which is being taken from the village’s reserve funds, to three

of the village’s public parks. The renovations, according to the board, are being carried out in an effort to improve the deteriorat-ing recreation facilities at Stan-ley Avenue Park, Warren Avenue Park and Florence Park, which Village Manager Richard Slinger-land explained have already been the subject of several complaints from village residents.

The money, which has been earmarked for the project since

2012 but was pushed aside for other more pressing projects, ac-cording to Slingerland, will go toward improving the basketball courts in all three parks and the tennis court located at Florence Park. The village is set to mill and level the surface of the tennis court at Warren Park, remove any invasive species that may damage it and provide a new fence around the court itself.

The three basketball courts be-ing renovated will also be leveled off and repaved, and the court at Warren Park will have the back-boards, hoops and fences sur-rounding the court replaced. All of the court sealing work will take place in the spring of 2016 after the asphalt has had sufficient time to cure, according to Slingerland.

“[Residents] have been talk-ing and complaining about the conditions for a long time,” said Mayor Norman Rosenblum, a Republican, in regard to the park renovations. “This has to do with quality of life…Not only will you improve the facilities, but you’ll improve the safety.”

According to Slingerland,

safety was also taken into ac-count especially when outlining the renovations to be done at Flor-ence Park. He explained there is curbing there—a remnant from a skating rink which occupied the site prior—that the project plans on amending.

“The basketball court at Flor-ence Park is currently in a curbed

area…We thought that the curbing wasn’t the best physical plant for a basketball court,” the village man-ager said. “It’s a tripping hazard.”

As a part of the new plans, the curbing will be paved over and the court will now feature new concrete and a level plane for resi-dents looking to enjoy a basket-ball game.

All three projects, according to Slingerland, are set to be complet-ed by June 2016, just in time for their peak seasonal use.

“We are excited to see more people make use of these play-ground and park areas when the work is finished,” he said.


The tennis court at Florence Park is also set to be repaved, in order to provide a level and playable surface.

A new identity for the Hispanic Resource CenterBy JACKSON CheN

Staff Writer

The Village of Mamaroneck’s Hispanic Resource Center has taken on a new and improved identity to better serve an ex-panding community.

After the grand opening cer-emony on Sept. 16 outside its new offices at 134 Center Ave., the newly-named Community Resource Center was welcomed

into the village by several local and state officials.

Among a crowd of elected and appointed officials, Milan Bhatt, the center’s new execu-tive director, introduced an en-hanced mission based on the roots already grown through the former Hispanic Resource Center, HRC.

For Bhatt, 36, the nonprofit organization has come full circle by returning to the offices on

Center Avenue. According to Liz Liscio, chairwoman of the cen-ter’s Board of Directors, the 134 Center Ave. location was home to the former Community Action Program Center. She added that the seeds of the HRC were planted with a small founding group in an office space in the Commu-nity Action Program Center.

Despite a complete overhaul, including the organization’s name, office location and the

executive director who joined in June, the new center’s services remain largely similar to HRC’s.

“Our focus will continue to be on advocating for, providing services for [and] programming for new immigrant populations here in Mamaroneck and Larch-mont,” Bhatt said, adding that their reach often dips into the county level.

In line with its former mis-sion, the executive director said that the Community Resource Center will still focus on three main pillars: educational and workforce developmental pro-grams, comprehensive social services and workers assistance.

“We were looking at a pretty massive transition with myself coming on board; also being in the new building,” Bhatt said. “Then we also said while we’re at it, why not resume the discus-sion … around this kind of exis-tential issue about our name and who we serve.”

Bhatt said dropping the “His-panic” and opting for “Commu-nity” in the name was represen-tative of his efforts to expand past the services offered to the Latino and immigrant commu-nity that make up 94 percent of their clients.

“We realized that a lot of the issues facing immigrants here are the same issues facing Afri-can-Americans,” Bhatt said, “ev-erything from civil rights issues to disparities in pay, accessibility

to affordable housing and health-care.”

Even though the center’s core demographic will still focus mostly on the Latino population, Bhatt said they’ve also served at-risk members of the Jamaican, African-American and Cauca-sian communities.

“Unfortunately most of our community tends to be cast into the shadows and kept [in] the shadows,” Bhatt said of the im-migrant population. “One of the things we seek to do is bring them out of the shadows in a safe, respectful and responsible way.”

In the new offices, the organi-zation is able to help its clients with services like English les-sons, counseling sessions, and providing the connection be-tween day laborers and contrac-tors.

“We teach people how to work within the community,” Liscio said. “They’re not handouts, they’re ‘hand ups.’”

Liscio, who worked with board members and donors to se-cure the Center Avenue location, added that owning the building provided some permanence to the organization and its evolv-ing mission. According to the chairwoman, the board was able to purchase the 10,000 square feet of space for $750,000 after the landlord of the Hispanic Re-source Center’s location on Ma-maroneck Avenue refused to sell.

Without having to worry about the future of the organization, Bhatt said he’s now started to focus on tackling the civil rights issues regarding police relations, formulating a strong wages and welfare floor for the communi-ties he serves, and collaborating with other like-minded organiza-tions to widen their outreach and service.

Looking ahead, Bhatt said there’s a possibility the center will provide in-house legal ser-vices, which springboards off his own personal training in the field of law.

For Village of Mamaroneck Mayor Norman Rosenblum, a Republican, the Community Resource Center is heavily con-tributing to the diversity element that’s in the village’s recipe for success.

“This is a group that will help those that don’t have the all-around knowledge to get help for themselves,” Rosenblum said.

County’s first probation officer honoredWilliam E. Mounteney, ap-

pointed 100 years ago as West-chester County’s first probation officer, helped establish best practices in probation and lived a profound life that ended in a nursing home with no family or financial resources. Mounteney was buried in a Kensico cem-etery grave that remained un-marked until Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2015.

In a morning ceremony, County Executive Rob Astori-no, a Republican, and Com-missioner of Probation Rocco Pozzi unveiled a monument that was placed on Mounteney’s gravesite. With funds raised from the Westchester County Probation Officers Association, the monument reads, “William E. Mounteney, 1874-1963, First Probation Officer, Westchester County, N.Y., Appointed 1915.”

In a second, more formal af-ternoon ceremony, a full pro-gram of prominent speakers was held at the Westchester County Courthouse in White Plains to honor Mounteney and to cel-ebrate the Probation Centennial.

“Today is an important day, as we not only honor William Mounteney but also the men and women who serve as probation officers,” Astorino said. “Mr. Mounteney may not have had any blood relatives outlive him, but he has 200 members of a probation family today that know of him and appreciate all he did to establish best practices in the important work of proba-tion. It’s nice to think that Mr. Mounteney, a former pastor, is looking down on us today with gratitude that he’s being remem-bered 52 years following his passing and 100 years following his appointment.”

Prior to becoming a proba-tion officer, Mounteney had a 20-year-long career in ministry that took him to churches in up-state New York, New York City, New Jersey and Westchester. He was also an award-winning chicken farmer and volunteered during World War I at age 43 to serve in the American Expedi-tionary Services as an overseas secretary in Europe.

Born in England, Mounteney

immigrated to the United States as a young man. Throughout his life he was civic-minded. “I be-lieve that…one of the great du-ties of the present-day citizen is to lift the ideal…lay aside big-otry and prejudice [and] practice the art of optimism,” he once said. “This is the best country in all the world. It is going to be a better country, better than our fa-thers hoped, better than we our-selves have dreamed.”

As a probation officer, Moun-teney carried these ideals. He showed compassion for of-fenders, regardless of race and worked hard to secure employ-ment for cases in his care, but he was not reluctant to hold proba-tioners accountable for their ac-tions.

After being elected to the board, Rush joined leaders from companies and nonprofits large and small including IBM, BNY Mellon Wealth Management, Con Edison, En-tergy and MasterCard, who help guide and drive the mission of The BCW.

Dear Tonia:Can you give me some simple

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

T.K., White Plains

Dear T.K.:Women over 50 typically

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

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

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

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

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

B.H., Mamaroneck

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

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

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

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

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

But we are clearly overdue for an update.

New Slang For New York:

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

Quipster: A hipster who lives in Queens.

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

Celebate: A person who tries to not spot celebrities.

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

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

Yellow Cab: Pre-Uber form of transportation.

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

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

NO-DOZ: (acronym)The neighborhood Near Or

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

neighborhood Near Or Directly Opposite Bronx Zoo.

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

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

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

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

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

Mondo Condo: Nickname for Long Island City.

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

Is an optional dress code really optional?

Dear Tonia:My wife and I are invited to

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

M.R., Scarsdale

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

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

Keep in mind that few men

LIvE MIKEMike Smith

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

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

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

Defending the Dark Knightsurgery on the ace in 2013.

The Mets, predictably, balked at that assertion.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Harrison’s one-sided win over the Panthers on Monday. Harri-son has won its last three games by a combined score of 14-2 to improve its record to 4-3 on the season.

“Our midfielders have been sending in a lot of dangerous balls,” said Harrison coach Sara Witmer. “And our forwards have made sure they’ve been in posi-tion, in the right spot to tip or re-direct the ball.”

September 25, 2015 • The MAMARONeCK Review • 15SPORTSPanthers notch first win

By MiKe SMiThSports Editor

After two losses to open the 2015 season, the Rye Neck Pan-thers seemed to find their stride on Sept. 19, earning a 40-12 win over Haldane at home. And as the Black Hats begin to gain experience, more wins will be on the horizon for the Rye Neck program, head coach Nick Ianel-lo said.

With many Panther players getting their first taste of mean-ingful varsity snaps this year, Ianello said he knew that there would be an adjustment period early on. Saturday’s win over the Blue Devils showed a marked improvement from the squad, as the Panthers bounced back from a shutout loss against Dobbs Fer-ry to find the end zone six times.

“I think from an experience standpoint, because these guys didn’t have the game experience, it took a while,” Ianello said fol-lowing the win. “For the last few years, they were behind the old-

went in terms of getting ready for the season.”

Defensively, senior defensive back Jake Calcagni enjoyed his best game of the season, notch-ing a game-high 16 tackles.

“Jake has a unique ability to find the ball,” Ianello said. “That’s something you can only teach to a certain extent, but he just has that in him.”

On Sept. 25, after press time, the Panthers play their second out-of-section game when they

Junior running back Jack Ev-ans carried the ball 8 times for 127 yards and 3 touchdowns, as he and senior Chris Colan-gelo (who had 10 carries for 140 yards and 2 touchdowns) paved the way for Rye Neck’s first win. In total, the team rushed for 400 yards on the afternoon.

So far, Ianello has been im-pressed with Evans, praising junior’s offseason dedication as well as his onfield production.

Offensively, the Blazers are led by talented junior running back Delvin Wood, who is averaging 12 yards per carry through the first three games of the season.

With a win under their belts, the Panthers are simply look-ing to improve upon last week’s performance.

“We just want to work on getting our assignments right,” Ianello said. “Once we get the knack, once we get the routine, we’re only going to get better.”
