Mamaroneck REVIEWTHE

comment when asked what her asking price was or if there were any interested buyers to date.

The investment memo also details the club’s renovations to several buildings and the construction of a new rec-reation building, new yacht club building and 19 seasonal residences.

For neighboring homeown-ers like Allison Stabile, this investment memo serves as an opportunity for the beach club to cash out. “The end result of all these years of fighting is that they’re basically going to secure the property so that the biggest development can be built and sell out with money in their pockets,” Stabile said.

Dating back to 2004, pro-posed development on the 13-acre waterfront property has drawn the ire of many neigh-bors. Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club originally pro-posed 31 seasonal residences to be constructed within two new stand-alone structures and the main clubhouse. Many homeowners in the area in the surrounding the club like Sta-bile and Dan Natchez agree that the issue with the con-struction of additional devel-opment clashes with the es-tablished rules and regulations the village. After many legal disputes, which ultimately lead to a scaling down of the number of seasonal residenc-es, the beach club resubmitted a site plan in 2013.

“The Village of Mama-roneck has a difficult enough

Ten high school girls and a support boat operator were res-cued after their boats capsized in the Mamaroneck Harbor during the evening of April 29.

As it turned out, rescue op-erators and police responded to two incidents of boats from a Rye rowing club capsizing in the Mamaroneck Harbor that day.

According to Mamaroneck Village Manager Richard Slingerland, the first incident included eleven girls who

15 rescued from capsizing incidents in harborwere in a rowing crew-boat, followed by a male coach in a Zodiak boat, a rigid inflatable boat as part of RowAmerica Rye, a youth rowing club that is headquartered in Rye’s Mil-ton Harbor.

However, due to strong gusts and changing weather conditions, both the Zodiak and rowing boat capsized into the 43-degree waters.

Alongside the Village of Mamaroneck’s Harbor Patrol and police department, Harbor Master Joe Russo, responded to the 911 call that came in around 6:30 p.m. Russo said

he was working near the Ma-maroneck Harbor late when he heard the call come in through his police radio.

Russo said the timing was perfect because he and one of the harbor patrol officers were already nearby. Accord-ing to Russo, the coach and girls were near Buoy 42 in the harbor, which is nearly two miles away from the village’s shoreline.

The harbor master ex-plained that capsizing inci-dents are fairly uncommon, but elements of wind gust and a temperature shift caused waves

to build up, which may have led to the emergency call.

“The water was pretty cold and they were on top of the remaining boat that was up-side down,” Russo said. “One of the boats sank. The harbor master added that ambulances responded to take the girls to be treated for hypothermia.

According to Village of Ma-maroneck Police Sgt. Charles Lanza, the girls and the coach were transported to the Mon-tefiore New Rochelle Hospital for further evaluation.

The infamous Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club is solic-iting offers for the sale of the beach club, according to an exclusive investment memo sent out to prospective buyers by two real estate brokerage firms that was obtained by the Review.

According to the memo that was sent out several weeks ago, Lisa Rosenshein, president and co-owner of the beach club, hired Suzuki Cap-ital LLC, a New York-based real estate firm, and Water-front Investment Properties, Inc., a real estate broker that specializes in marina and re-sort properties.

Since there’s no listed price in the memo, which is subject to change over time, interested buyers must make their own evaluations of Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club, located at 555 S. Barry Ave., in the Village of Mamaroneck. On top of the basic information listed in the memo, like the history and layout of the beach club, the real estate brokers mentioned the redevelopment project that has garnered much attention over the years.

“We’re really looking at what options [there] are in terms of moving forward on the club,” Rosenshein said. The club’s co-owner added that the renovations and con-struction of seasonal residenc-es is still on the plate, but there might be other ideas that could work for the members.

Rosenshein, however, declined

Standard adds $3M to Playland funding

Representatives of Standard Amusements recently toured Playland amusement park and consequently increased its initial investment from $22.75 million, over the first three years of its arrangement with Westchester County to manage the park, to $25.25 million. But it remains unclear who will incur the cost of major capital repair projects, such as rehabilitation work to the colonnade and music tower, which is expected to cost millions.

After touring Playland last week, Standard Amusements, which was selected by the Westchester County executive to run the county-owned park, increased its initial investment to the amusement park by $3 million after seeing its deterio-rating conditions.

But questions over who is re-sponsible for paying for much needed infrastructure repairs remain unanswered.

When the agreement with Standard Amusements was ini-tially announced last month, the company agreed to invest $22.75 million into the county-owned park over a three-year period, as part of a tentative management agreement with the county executive. The agree-ment also requires approval of the Westchester County Board of Legislators.

But that initial investment in-creased slightly to $25.25 mil-lion after witnessing the poor conditions of the park during walkthroughs of the Rye-based amusement park on April 27 and April 28.

However, even with the in-creased initial investment by Standard, that allocation is only expected to deal with cosmetic work, new rides and games.

In a rough draft of the proj-ects it’s planning to tackle at Playland, Standard Amuse-ments outlined how it intends to spend its initial investment

of now $25.25 million over the next three years. Nick Singer, who heads Standard Amuse-ments, said the list of work could change over the next month.

But the current draft only includes funding for painting, wood replacement, landscap-ing, renovating the bathhouse, restoring historic rides, adding new rides, games and a water attraction, and fixing the food stands.

What’s not included in Standard’s plan for the park is funding for an additional ap-proximately $25 million worth of projects listed in a 2009 as-sessment of buildings at Play-land commissioned by the county and a colonnade reha-bilitation project. According to the adopted 2015 Westchester County capital budget, the col-onnade project costs approxi-mately $8.5 million, although those estimates dates back to 1991 and could be significant-ly higher today.

According to the capital budget, of the $8.5 million be-lieved to be needed for that re-pair work only approximately $810,000 was collected by the county. And it remains un-clear today who exactly would be responsible for picking up the remainder of that tab, let alone funding the rest of the projects identified in the 2009 assessment.

Section 2-a of the tentative management agreement be-tween Standard and the county

executive, which would turn the park over to Standard pending legislative approval, states, the county is respon-sible for “extraordinary main-tenance, repairs and improve-ments,” seemingly throwing the costs on the county’s shoulders.

“It’s on the to be determined list,” said Westchester County Legislator Pete Harckham, a Katonah Democrat who chairs the Labor, Parks Plan-ning and Housing Committee, a subcommittee of the county Board of Legislators, that is vetting the Standard Amuse-ments plan. “That’s going to have to be resolved through the administration, Standard and the legislators.”

During the May 6 parks subcommittee meeting, repre-sentatives of Standard Amuse-ments were asked specifically about the colonnade and tower restoration.

Jack Falfas, CEO of United Parks who is expected to man-age the day-to-day operations of the amusement park, said Standard will consider hiring a consultant to provide an esti-mate of how much it would cost to fix the colonnades. However, who is on the hook for the cost of the study remains unclear.

The Board of Legislators was scheduled to join representatives of Standard Amusements, along with members of the public, to tour the Playland grounds on May 7, after press time.

Medicines should never be washed down the sink or flushed down the toilet because they enter the marine environment unaltered after going through the sewage treatment plants. Sewage treatment plants do not treat pharmaceutical chemicals. In fact, certain chemicals disrupt the balance of the treat-ment system decreasing its effectiveness and even disabling it at times. The drugs can be thrown in the garbage or brought to drug take-back events for proper disposal.

The town received a grant from Citizens Campaign for the Environment, a nonprofit environmental advocacy organization, to hold the drug take-back events.

Professor, Cuomo opponent speaks at luncheon

Zephyr Teachout chatting with a local resident during a League of Women Voters luncheon on April 24.

By JACKSON CHENStaff Writer

Like a flashback of her political campaign. Zephyr Teachout, a former candidate for gover-nor, spoke to a crowd of more than 100 members during the League of Women Voters of Larchmont-Mamaroneck’s an-nual luncheon.

On April 24, Teachout ar-rived at the Orienta Beach Club, 1054 Walton Ave., around noon. Despite a dis-creet entrance, residents of Larchmont and Mamaroneck began rubbing shoulders with the Fordham University pro-fessor and outspoken critic of Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Before taking her reserved seat next to State Sen. George Latimer, a Rye Democrat, Teachout, a Democrat herself, had greet-ed several elected officials of different municipalities and obliged several photo requests.

With little experience in local government, Teachout, 43, broke into the race for the Democratic Party’s nomina-tion for governor against Cuo-mo last year. Despite her loss in the primary, the challenger

secured 34 percent of the vote with her campaign that fo-cused on the prevalent nature of political corruption.

Beth Radow, the program-ming coordinator for the league, said that she first met Teachout during an anti-frack-ing rally last fall and immedi-ately invited her to be the an-nual luncheon’s speaker.

“Part of what I was hoping to do with the luncheon this year was talk about the impor-tance of grass roots, where peo-ple have been involved in envi-ronmental issues and demon-strate that everyone can make a difference,” Radow said.

Before introducing Teachout to the audience, Radow kicked off the luncheon with a history quiz composed of trivia ques-tions that spanned from the Watergate scandal to the Iran-Contra affair. After the guests were awarded a button for their correct answers, Radow presented Teachout to the ea-ger audience.

No stranger to being in front of sizable crowds, the guest speaker approached the podium amongst rounds of applause. Almost a reflection of her po-litical campaign for governor, Teachout, who teaches law at Fordham Law School, spoke vastly about her definition of corruption that she felt was extremely common in today’s politics.

“The majority of the cur-rent Supreme Court [of the United States] now thinks that corruption means quid-pro-quo, criminal bribery where there’s an explicit exchange,”

Teachout said. “The dissent and myself think that corrup-tion is something much broad-er that encompasses influence and access.”

Radow said Teachout was the perfect speaker for the lun-cheon as the league is tackling talking points like campaign contributions. “We wanted to encourage people to make the connection between campaign contributions and the outcome of what can happen in the way that legislation gets passed or doesn’t get passed.”

Besides promoting her new book, “Corruption in America: From Benjamin Franklin’s Snuff Box to Citizens United,” Teachout took several ques-tions from the audience about how to address corruption and ongoing statewide issues like Common Core.

“I’m not opposed to the idea of common standards, but Common Core unfortu-nately has been used more as a way of testing and evaluat-ing our teachers, than a way of raising and increasing the standards for education itself in the country,” Teachout said, adding that she doesn’t agree with the ideology that a child performs better under stress and teachers work harder if they’re afraid.

Radow said that the league is hoping to schedule another educational forum during the fall at one of the local schools to speak more about campaign reform in the buildup to this year’s elections.

Save the Sound seeking summer volunteers

Save the Sound, a bi-state program of Connecticut Fund for the Environment, is happy to announce the receipt of a grant to increasea water qual-ity monitoring this summer in Fairfield and Westchester counties. Last year, Save the Sound’s water quality moni-toring program in Westchester County, found that fecal con-tamination is highest in the streams, creeks, and rivers that run through communities and flow to the shoreline.

The EPA Region 2 Citizen Science Water Monitoring Equipment Loan for Save the Sound this summer will al-low for the creation of a wa-ter quality testing lab located in Mamaroneck that staff and train volunteers who will use the site to test for the bacte-ria Enterococcus and Total Coliforms/E-coli as well as

general water quality param-eters like dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity and temper-ature. Along with the equip-ment loan, the EPA will pro-vide training and will review and approve the quality con-trol standards used by Save the Sound to conduct our water quality monitoring, helping to ensure that Save the Sound data is taken seriously by stakehold-ers and scientists alike.

“Receiving this grant is a big deal for our water qual-ity monitoring program—and for communities all along the coast of the western sound,” said Tracy Brown, director of western Long Island Sound programs for Save the Sound. “Far more citizen scientists will be empowered and able to get out into their own waters and see for themselves if their waters are safe to swim in and

for fish to inhabit. We’re excited for this summer’s monitoring season and are looking for a lot of volunteers to get involved.”

Communities along the sound where water qual-ity monitoring will be occur-ring this summer include Port Chester, Rye, Mamaroneck, Larchmont, New Rochelle, Pelham, Mount Vernon, Harri-son, Scarsdale and Greenwich, Conn. Interested volunteers should contact [email protected] for more in-formation. After completing training, volunteers will travel throughout their communities, once a week on average, with Save the Sound’s water moni-toring coordinator and collect data throughout the season, in order to build up a complete picture of water quality in the communities surrounding the western sound.

“We are relieved that Wednes-day’s incident ended on a good note, and that none of the rowers were injured,” said Marko Serafimovski, director of rowing and head coach for women youth for RowAmer-ica Rye.

About an hour after the call for the girls and coach, another

boat was reported missing near the same area, according to Lanza. Mamaroneck police conducted a search with Sea Tow, a 24/7 boat towing com-pany, and found four males on Hen Island. All four were from Row America Rye, but only three of the four people were transported to White Plains Hospital as one of them re-fused treatment. As for the cur-

rent status of the rowers, Lanza said he couldn’t elaborate on their current conditions due to privacy laws.

“It was a godsend that every-one was there at the right time,” Russo, the harbor master said.

Representatives from Row-America Rye could not be reached as of press time.

Advocates hit Capitol Hill to promote sound

This spring, the Mama-roneck Citizens Advisory Committee of the Long Island Sound Study is visiting the re-gion’s Congressional delega-tion and the administrations’ Council on Environmental Quality to seek additional re-sources for protection and restoration of the Long Island Sound. This investment is money well spent, as demon-strated by a recent Earth Eco-nomics report on the value of the Long Island Sound and its basin, estimated at $17 to $36 billion annually. Earth Eco-nomics found that more than $5.2 billion in direct benefits are created annually by the Long Island Sound.

Industries in the analysis in-clude shellfish farming, wind power and recreation. Part of the annual value of Long Is-land Sound comes from eco-system services or the benefits that people and the economy derive from nature. Examples include providing clean wa-ter, recreational opportunities, coastal resiliency, waste treat-ment, wildlife habitat and a stable climate.

"Now we know that the eco-nomic value of Long Island Sound is just as impressive as the fact that ten percent of the population of the US lives within 50 miles of Long Island Sound,” said Nancy Seligson, Mamaroneck town supervisor and Citizen’s Advisory Com-mittee co-chair. “Long Island

Sound provides so much for so many.”

During their Capitol Hill visits, Citizen’s Advisory Committee, CAC, members will ask for the reauthorization of the Long Island Sound Res-toration and Stewardship Act and increased program funding as well as for the National Es-tuary Program funds for Long Island Sound. They will also request federal investments to reduce nitrogen inputs into the sound, and permanent preser-vation of Plum Island.

“Long Island Sound is a globally significant ecosys-tem which provides critical habitat for birds and other wildlife,” said Sean Mahar, director of government rela-tions of Audubon New York. “As the Earth Economics re-port points out, [the Sound] is the backbone of [the] region’s quality of life and economy. New York and Connecticut have made significant invest-ments to keep the Sound on the road to recovery, and we need Congress to do the same and capitalize on the great environmental and economic benefits the sound provides.”

“How many of us can imagine our region without a clean and healthy Long Island Sound?” asked Curt Johnson, CAC co-chair and executive director of Save the Sound, a bi-state program of Connecti-cut Fund for the Environment. “Whether it’s small-scale fish-

ers operating on their grand-father’s boats or children re-turning each summer to swim on the sound’s beaches, Long Island Sound is a crucial part of our cultural and economic heritage—one that we must continue to protect and fund in order to achieve its full poten-tial. In my lifetime, I’ve seen the sound become cleaner, fish return to our waters and small-scale industry thrive again. But now is not the time to become complacent. As the sound continues to face threats from nitrogen pollu-tion and climate change, the federal government must con-tinue to fund the restoration of Long Island Sound and its environment.”

Determining the value of Long Island Sound is particu-larly important in light of the many threats facing it: runoff from increased impervious surfaces and developed lands increase its nitrogen load and lower its oxygen content. Loss of coastal habitat due to de-velopment and sea level rise threaten the plants and ani-mals that depend on the sound. These threats, as noted in the report, can adversely affect the jobs that are dependent on a clean and healthy Sound. This report helps to illustrate the high cost and unintended economic consequences of not investing in the preserva-tion of Long Island Sound. (Submitted)

Rye Neck schools adopt budgetBy JACKSON CHEN

Staff Writer

On April 22, the Rye Neck School District’s Board of Education unanimously ad-opted a 2015-2016 proposed budget of $39.6 million aimed at maintaining class sizes and pushing forward current programs.

Several budget hearings have passed since the presen-tation of Superintendent of Schools Dr. Peter Mustich’s proposed budget on March 18. According to the revised bud-get, there were no changes in the expenditures, holding up the original budget-to-bud-get spending decrease of 0.7 percent.

“Over seven years, we’ve been very careful about how we spend our money,” Mus-tich said, adding that in the past seven years of controlling costs, the district has saved more than $4 million.

With some changes in reve-nues, the school district is well under the state-mandated tax cap of 0.99 percent this year. The district’s tax cap levy in-crease comes in at 0.71 per-cent, or $251,327, as opposed to its original proposed budget which was exactly in line with the tax cap.

Since the school district serves different municipali-ties, Rye Town taxpayers would see a 0.84 percent tax rate increase while taxpayers in Rye City would see a 3.54 percent tax rate increase.

2015-2016 budget $39.6MBudget-to-budget increase -0.70%Tax cap levy increase 0.71%Rye Town tax rate increase 0.84%Rye City tax rate increase 3.54%

Since the proposed budget, the school district was made aware of the amount of state aid it would receive after New York passed its state budget on April 1. Since that adop-tion, Rye Neck was informed that it is expected to receive $335,000 more in state aid than the $1.5 million it origi-nally estimated in its proposed budget.

The higher amount of state aid, which now totals to $1.8 million, allowed the district to reduce its reliance on a trans-fer from its employee retire-ment reserve funds and its ap-propriated fund balance.

Mustich said the budget is also responding to the in-creasing enrollment numbers, which rose 1.16 percent to 1,574 students.

“It’s the largest enrollment Rye Neck has ever had, which is good news,” Mustich said, adding that the higher en-rollment rates translate into people moving into the com-munity for the quality of the schools.

While those numbers are increasing, Mustich said the district will be adding an ex-tra class section to accommo-

date the additional students that will enter third grade. The superintendent added that one of the budget goals was to maintain favorable class sizes, which is projected at 19 to 23 for all grades within the public school system.

In addition to class sizes, the budget expanded its focus on Science, Technology, En-gineering and Mathematics, STEM, as well as other extra-curricular programs involving arts and music.

“We are looking forward to STEM and looking for how we might build that into the curriculum as we move for-ward into the future,” Mus-tich said. “We know that’s an important component of what our students are going to need.”

The adopted budget also still plans to add 3.7 positions in terms of full-time equiva-lent employees, which broke down into 2.7 teacher posi-tions and 1 full-time teaching assistant.

The 2015-2016 adopted budget will now be put to a public vote on May 19.



County Executive Rob As-torino announced on April 20 that online registration for West-chester County’s popular Learn-to-Swim program at Tibbetts Brook Park in Yonkers and Sax-on Woods Pool in White Plains is now open.

“Knowing how to swim is not only a great skill to have but it can lead to a lifetime of fun and recreational fitness, and can even save your life,” Astorino said.

The program offers swim-ming lessons for all ages and ability levels from toddlers to se-nior citizens according to Amer-ican Red Cross guidelines.

Classes will be held begin-ning Tuesday, July 7, and will run through Friday, July 31.

Lessons for teens and adults will be held only at Saxon Woods Pool.

The registration fee is $75, which includes pool admis-sion fees for the participant. Adults and teens participating in the Learn-to-Swim program must present a valid Westches-ter County Park Pass on the first day of class. Children under 12 registering for the lessons must

be accompanied by a park pass-holding parent or adult guardian.

The Learn-to-Swim program is sponsored by Westchester

County Parks. For more in-formation or to register for the program, go to westchestergov.com/parks. (Submitted)

• Pre-schoolers ages 3-5:classes meet wednesdays and Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. or from 10:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

• Children ages 6-8:classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 10:15 a.m. to 10:45 a.m.

• Children ages 9-12:classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.

• Adults and teens (13 and up):classes meet Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:15 p.m. (Saxon woods only)

The schedule for classes is as follows:time enforcing laws that are currently on our books with regard to environmental pro-tection,” Stabile said. “I’m deeply concerned that with the years of construction that lie ahead that the environment isn’t going to be protected.”

Like Stabile, many neigh-bors of the Shore Acres Prop-erty Owners Association, SAPOA, are concerned that the development isn’t in line with the village’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, the guiding document that outlines how development should be ap-proached for coastal properties.

For Natchez, president of SAPOA, the potential sale may allude to future development.

Natchez said the memo could be interpreted to be slanted to-wards development purposes.

Natchez said if the club is sold to another entity that wants to continue the develop-ment project, he would contin-ue to defend the LWRP which Natchez said is violated by the construction.

Rosenshein said the whole process has been unfortunate, lengthy, and costly to both the club and taxpayers of the village.

“All we’ve tried to do is im-prove the club for our mem-bers,” Rosenshein said. “All we want to do is renovate and bring this piece of property to the standard it deserves.

“It’s a gorgeous piece of property that deserves to be brought into the 21st century,” Rosenshein said.

While the issue continues to be enveloped in legal disputes, the amended site plan that in-cludes the construction of the 19 seasonal residences is still waiting to be reviewed by the village’s Planning Board, ac-cording to Paul Noto, the at-torney representing the beach club. Noto said that the beach club has to revise its final En-vironmental Impact Report, and afterwards the Planning Board might revisit the plan as early as June or July.

ArtsWestchester announces grant opportunitiesCelebrating its 50th anni-

versary this year with a con-tinued mission to maintain the accessibility and diver-sity of the arts in Westchester, ArtsWestchester recently an-nounced a total of 32 grants awarded to artists and organi-zations that support arts proj-ects throughout the county.

Funded projects, announced at a special Arts Alive Grants ceremony include performing and visual art, youth writing workshops, mural projects,

“The Arts Alive grant cat-egory is one of ArtsWestches-ter’s most effective means of supporting arts activities for Westchester’s geographically, economically and ethnically diverse population,” said Janet Langsam, ArtsWestchester’s CEO. “This funding opportu-nity helps to ensure that resi-dents throughout the county have access to the arts in their communities, particularly in areas where access is limited.”

There are three distinct Arts Alive funding opportuni-ties: project grants, education grants and artist grants. These Arts Alive grants are made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a grant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature. The program is administered by ArtsWestchester.

“The 2015 Arts Alive grants support arts projects in more than 20 municipalities throughout the county,” Sen-ate Democratic Leader Andrea

The purpose of 32 new ArtsWestchester grant opportunities is to help provide Westchester County residents with access to the arts.

Stewart-Cousins said. “This grant program fosters creativ-ity in our communities and makes the arts easily acces-sible to hundreds of residents and their families. The part-nership between the New York State Council on the Arts, which funds the program, and ArtsWestchester is key to keeping the arts alive and vi-brant in Westchester County. That’s why I was proud to vote

for $5 million in additional funds to the New York State Council on the Arts this year.”

Two individual artists re-ceived Arts Alive Artist grants this year as well.

“Decentralization Funds that we administer through the Arts Alive program are especially important because they provide ArtsWestchester a way to sup-port artists,” Langsam said.

This year, artist Cornell

Carelock will bring original hip-hop music to schools and community sites and Patrick McNeil will merge inspiring words and images inspired by children’s literature into an original mural for the Hastings-on-Hudson Public Library.

ArtsWestchester’s grants are awarded through a competitive process that includes a panel of community members and arts professionals. (Submitted)

LEGAL NOTICES


The Village of Celeron, N.Y., has chosen to resurface its statue paying tribute to Lucille Ball.

Refacing instead of replacing

To be more accurate, the statue of Lucy is going to be refaced. The likeness of Lu-cille Ball, in her hometown of Celoron, N.Y., is so scary look-ing that the town has decided to have her refaced. The news-paper headlines vary, but my favorite is “Upstate town ter-rorized by demon Lucy statue.” Thank goodness refacing is now considered an acceptable method of rejuvenating a scary, sad looking statue or kitchen.

Scott Schrecengost, the mayor of Celoron, has cho-sen to reface Lucy, rather than replace her, because it is con-siderably less expensive to put a new face on a 400-pound bronze statue than to replace it completely. And, it can be done much faster than starting a new statue from scratch. In-terestingly these are the same reasons most people chose to reface their cabinets rather than replace them. It comes down to convenience and cost. With our hectic schedules, many people don’t want to have their lifestyles disrupted any longer than necessary. It’s hard enough getting everything done that we’re supposed to each day without having con-struction going on for several weeks. Refacing takes much less time than replacing a kitchen and is much less stress-ful than a total renovation.

And in most cases it’s usu-ally more economical than a new kitchen. I say “usually more economical” because there are factors that can in-crease the costs of refacing. When you select thermofoil replacement fronts the cost is about 50 percent less than buying and installing new, all-wood cabinets. However, if you choose special shapes or wood fronts the savings begin to diminish. Another factor that can add to the expense of refacing is changing the lay-out of your kitchen. You real-ize the greatest saving when no alterations are made to the floor plan. If you intend on changing more than 10 percent of the cabinets in the kitchen, it makes more sense to think about replacing all of them.

The selection of replace-

ment fronts has recently ex-panded exponentially. Now, Lucy’s new face could be anyone; Ethel, Marge, Wilma or best of all, a pretty image of Lucy, as was originally in-tended. In your home, you can reface with real wood, choos-ing from maple, cherry, alder, birch, pine or exotic woods. If you want to go with lami-nate fronts there are close to 100 colors to choose from, and now the laminates can be textured or hand-crafted with a glazed finish or Italian high gloss lacquer, just like real wood. Add to this all the mod-ern internal conveniences that you find in new kitchen cabi-nets and refacing becomes a viable alternative.

Although, in the past, refac-ing used to conjure up a less-than-beautiful solution, where the material used to cover the cabinets and doors didn’t look real and would peel off in a few years. While this may have been true years ago, the materials and adhesives used for refacing today have im-proved dramatically. Most contractors who offer this ser-vice now replace the door and drawer fronts and cover the

cabinet with the same material the new fronts are made of. Today, a custom refacing job, if done properly, looks just like a new kitchen and lasts just as long.

If you’re terrorized because you’re living with a scary look-ing kitchen, like the folks in Ce-loron are of their statue, it might be time to consider this wonder-ful solution. Granted, it’s not for everyone, so it’s in your best interest to speak with a profes-sional designer and get their input. However, most kitch-ens will benefit from refacing. And considering Lucy was one of the most talented, beautiful and funny women in television history, it is only right that her statue get a face-lift. If you find yourself upstate, stop by the Lucille Ball Memorial Park to visit with Lucy (after the work has been completed) and see what a difference a new face can make.

I’ve been a boxing fan for years; the kind of fan who will gladly tune into a fight on SNY between two boxers I’ve never heard of just to get my pugilism fix. As a result, I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on Mayweather fights in the past, only to be disappointed by the defensive master’s unwilling-ness to mix things up with his outclassed foes.

But on Saturday night, Mayweather was set to take on Manny Pacquiao in what was inarguably the most hyped boxing event since the heyday of Mike Tyson. This was the kind of fight that roped in even

Pay-Per-Boosthe casual observer, fans that were more drawn to the spec-tacle and celebrity of the bout than a passion for the sport it-self.

And boy, were they in for a let down.

I watched the fight at a friend’s house in Dobbs Fer-ry. The majority of people who gathered there to watch this “once in a lifetime” box-ing supershow were fans of the uninitiated variety. After a lengthy delay—cable compa-nies were having trouble deal-ing with the demand—and 12 rounds of Mayweather pot-shotting Pac-man while deftly avoiding any semblance of danger en route to a decision win, the feeling in the room was unanimous.

“We just paid 100 dollars to watch this?”

As a boxing fan, I’ve come to grudgingly appreciate Floyd’s style. He’s a superb defensive fighter, the best of his generation. But if there’s one thing he’s never been,

it’s exciting. But it was hard, even know-

ing that the fight was most likely going to play out the way it did, not to be swept up in the moment.

From the star-studded audi-ence—which included boxing luminaries and A-listers like Tom Brady, Robert DeNiro and Denzel Washington—to the incessant cross-platform coverage leading up to the fight, I wanted to believe that this fight would be special.

It wasn’t of course, and what could have been box-ing’s last grasp at mainstream acclaim instead soured many on the prospects of plunking down their hard-earned cash on any future fights.

This Saturday, rising Mexi-can star Canelo Alvarez will take on American James Kirk-land in an HBO fight that will undoubtedly be a much more scintillating affair than what record-breaking audiences paid for this weekend.

It will most likely be a great

18 • THE MAMARONECK REviEw • May 8, 2015 SPORTSHuguenots top Tigers

By MiKE SMiTHSports Editor

With a gritty win over Ma-maroneck on May 1, it seems that things may be turning around for New Rochelle’s baseball team as the season heads into the home stretch. At 5-7 on the season, the Hugue-nots appear to be playing their best baseball of the season as they head into a two-game set with White Plains this week.

Last Friday, the Huguenots avenged an early season loss to the Tigers, beating Mama-roneck 4-3 on the strength of a sixth-inning single by Damin Romeo that plated the game-winning run in the form of third-baseman Quincy Mack.

According to Huguenot coach Pete Annunziata, New Rochelle came into their sec-ond meeting with the Tigers eager to put one in the win column.

“I think that was the most hungry I’ve seen the guys this year,” Annunziata said. “And as the season has gone on, they’ve been hungrier and hungrier.

New Rochelle’s bats roared to life in the third inning, as the Huguenots scored three runs off Tiger starter Bill Flatow to jump out to their first lead of the ball game. Unfortunately for New Rochelle, sophomore starter Mason Newman, who held the Tigers at bay for the first three innings was forced to leave the game after taking a comebacker off of his pitch-ing hand. Annunziata said the sophomore will miss the re-mainder of the season, but that big things are in store for the New Rochelle right hander.

“He’s going to be an excel-lent pitcher and unfortunately we’re not going to see how good he could have been the rest of this year,” said the head coach. “But looking at him we think he’s going to be our ace next season.”

Senior Carmine Giordano came on in relief and pitched well despite surrendering three runs in the bottom of the sixth inning on hits from Miles Haughton, Anthony Pecora and Thomas Orgielewicz. Se-nior ace JoJo Gray, who was outlasted by Mamaroneck in a

2-1 extra-inning game earlier in the year, recorded the save.

“When you talk about that hunger, nobody’s hungrier than Carmine,” Annunziata said. “He’s always willing to put it all on the line, and I think he had his best stuff of the year on Friday.”

Mamaroneck responded to the loss with a May 2 win against Clarkstown North to improve to 12-3 on the year.

As for the Huguenots, they will look to capitalize on their momentum this week, when they square off against White Plains for a two-game set, af-ter press time.

“White Plains is always well-prepared and well-coached,” Annunziata said, “and they will definitely come to play in a league game with their season on the line.”
