September 3, 2004: Mario Scarano is officially leaving his post as Athletic Director of White Plains High School. The man who created the Fall Winter and Spring Sports Awards Recognition Dinners, the man who presided over an athletic program that has won 87% of its competitions last year, the man who inspired a coaching staff to further academic excellence as well as athletic excellence, the man who oversaw the weight training room in the Tigers sports complex in South House, was officially the Board of Education has decided not to rescind his retirement Wednesday evening. Mario Scarano Handling the Big Details at South House in early August. The WPHS Athletic Director for the last six years will be moving on, because the White Plains Board of Education has decided not to rescind his retirement as he requested in an impassioned plea to the Board of Education Wednesday evening to stay on the job. Mr.Scarano will be continuing his Athletic Director duties until Thursday of next week, and hopes to continue consulting to aid in the transition to a new Athletic Director. Mr. Scarano said he hoped to perhaps move on to a college position, but presently has no concrete plans. Photo by WPCNR Sports Mr. Scarano, in an interview today with WPCNR said he had nothing but praise for the coaches, high school staff, nurses, secretaries and administrators he has worked with at the high school and throughout the district during the last six years. He said he was proud of how the WPHS program has gotten better and better over his tenure, both academically and on the fields and the courts. He said being Athletic Director was something he loved doing that it wasn’t a job to him, and thanked all whom he has worked with and the kids for all their contributions to the athletic program. Last February, Mr. Scarano had proposed splitting the post of Athletic Director and Coordinator of Health into two positions, because he felt the demands of supervising both the athletic program and the health curriculum were too much for one person to handle alone given the size of the WPHS program and the new demands the state was placing on the health program. Scarano told the district at that time that he would continue as Athletic Director if the district were able to split the two positions, otherwise he would retire. Then the Board of Education said it would consider splitting the two positions. The Board delayed making that decision to split the position until July. Mr. Scarano had put in his retirement papers with the district by then as he was required to do, and did so when the Board had not indicated that they were going to split the position. After Mr. Scarano had learned the Board had indeed decided to follow his suggestion to split the position, he applied to the Board of Education to rescind his retirement. Mr. Scarano asked to speak to the Board to make a case for his continuing on as Athletic Director. By that time, the School District had already posted the positions of Athletic Director and Coordinator of Health programs. After a postponement due to the illness of the daughter of Board of Education President Donna McLaughlin, the Board of Education met in Executive Session Wednesday evening to hear Mr. Scarano and consider his request. After hearing Mr. Scarano, according to a WPCNR source familiar with the Executive Session proceedings, the Board voted 7-0 to not rescind Mr. Scarano’s retirement. Our source said that some twenty applications had already been received for the positions of both Athletic Director and the Health position. There had been strong lobbying of the Board of Education to keep Mr. Scarano for the Athletic Director post. However, apparently the Board, as Mr. Scarano put it, “decided to move in a different direction.” Superintendent of Schools, Timothy Connors, was unavailable for comment Friday afternoon. Mr. Scarano said he would be meeting with Mr. Connors next Thursday to discuss his staying for a transitional period as a consultant while the decision on who his successor will be is made.

Federal government shortchanges When it comes to all-important federal anti-terrorism funding, New York also ranks at the bottom of the nation for federal Medicaid reimbursement rates. Under the Federal Medicaid Assistance Percentage program, New York and the federal government split Medicaid costs 50-50, which is lower than the matching rates enjoyed by 37 other states nationwide. The federal government has placed a disproportionate burden on New York’s taxpayers. We’re already paying too much, our local governments can’t afford to pay more.

For the last month, the Tigers have been holding three practices a day in sweltering August heat preparing for the Class AA campaign. Last year the League Champion, the Tigers are looking at developing a new offensive line to open up the holes for a regiment of strong running backs and talented receivers raring to go. WPCNR talked with Head Football Coach Mark Santa Donato Wednesday morning on his 2004 Tigers: “We graduated 19 players and at least 12 starters have gone on. The entire line has graduated out. So we’re regrouping in a couple areas especially the line. We’re very inexperienced up front, but they’re coming along,” the man who creates White Plains Tigers said discussing how his team looks going into Saturday’s opener. The coach said they had just today cut down to one practice a day. He said there was a lot of teaching going on and that was the reason for the three-a-day workouts. Photo by WPCNR Sports Who’s coming back. “In our perimeter people, we have some good kids back like Mike (Night Train) Lane, he’s back as a running back and receiver; there’s Gary Morello, and he’ll be running the football. Paul Scotman our fullback is back. Senior Kevin Avery is playing quarterback and Conor Gilmartin-Donohue is also doing a good job at quarterback/corner back. Of his two quarterbacks, Santa Donato is giving Avery the nod: “ Kevin’s the senior. He’s the most experienced as far as knowing the scheme, but Conor’s an excellent quarterback. He’s a junior, and he’s right there also. God forbid, Kevin gets hurt or something, I think that Conor Gilmartin can come in and do a great job. He’s a big kid. He’s a tough kid. Conor’s going to play defensive end for us, and he can also play tight end.” Game Experience Lacking. The coach said that the team lacks game experience, but he’s confident: “I feel we’re going to be o.k. but we’e going to need a couple of games under our belt, experience-wise. We’re very concerned about the first game. We want to make sure we don’t make too many mistakes, and get by the first game against Saunders in The Line On the line, Junior Gerard Bryant (5-11, 225) is back. He is described as a back up lineman last year and along with Akin Benton 5-8, 205 pounds both are expected to anchor the line. Keith Simone at 6-4, 200 and Jimmy Russell (5-11, 200) are splitting duties at center. “These guys are all young guys who are filling in for us. At Tight end, we’ve got Tommy Lee (“Mr. Lee”) at 6-1, 200. So, we’re asking a lot out of these guys experience-wise. Conor Gilmartin-Donohue will also play defensive end. Not only did we graduate a lot of players, we graduated a lot of experience. We had three year starters in a lot of spots, and we had four-year starters in some other spots. So it’s just hard to make for that experience this quickly,” Santa Donato stressed. “You have got to play to get the experience, and I think they’re going to be fine once we get some playing time under our belts. Our size is not bad, We’re a little smaller than we were last year, there’s no question about it, but I think more the experience (is a factor). They’re a good bunch of kids. They’re working real hard.” A fleet of backs. Santa Donato said “ The offensive line is the key to the game, and we do have some good running backs. We have Ike (“Nuke”) Nduka at 6 foot, 205 at tailback. He’s sort of our next Spencer (Ridenhour), But, if the line doesn’t open the holes, it’s going to be tough for us.” Avery can throw. Santa Donato said that “Depending on how things go, we might throw the ball a little bit more. We threw pretty successfully last year, and I think we can still throw the ball. We’re going to try and get the ball out to some of our faster guys on the perimeter. Both quarterbacks (Avery and Gilmartin-Donohue) can throw.” The receiving corps has four experienced targets to throw to. Coach Santa Donato pointed to 6 foot Shawn Jimison (who showed an ability to run routes and bring the ball in in big games last season), “All these guys are solid receivers, and blockers when we bring them in tight. So, again, on the perimeter we’re in good shape,when you talk about receivers, and backs and defensive backs.” The Coach said. The Offensive Trademark. The coach said the Tigers might run “a little more option this year: But, we’re basically an I-Team coming-right-at-you kind of team when we run the football. I think we might try and get the ball to the fullback (Scotman) a little bit more this year, because Paul Scotman (5-9, 225, Alan Ameche-Jim Taylor size) is a good runner, and he has good backup in Mickey Morello, also a good kid up from the Junior Varsity.” The Ferocious Tiger D. How about defense? “Our linebacker corps is new, but they’re good kids. Paul Scotman’s had some experience there and Tommie Lee, those are our inside backers. I feel again, it’s just a matter of playing time. Not making too many mistakes early, and I think we’re going to be o.k.” The coach is not planning any changes in the defense: “We’re going to be running the same defenses that we ran last year, “ Coach said. “Three of our defensive backs are back (Lane, Nduka, Gary Morello) Connor Lantier is going to get in there and run free safety. Ike Nduka is going to move from Free Safety to Strong Safety, replacing Spencer Ridenhour. So our schemes are basically the same. We run a 50 kind of a front. We move people around a little bit. We like to move the line. As long as the kids get their reads and keys down, I think we’re going to be fine.” Santa Donato said last year Senior Evan McGuire ( now playing football at Cornell), called the defensive signals, and “he was like having another coach on the field. He would line up the front and make the checks. So, we’re being very patient with these kids, because we know they have a lot to learn.” Donato says Tommy Lee and Paul Scotman at linebacker, he hopes will be sharing the defensive signal calling: “We’re trying to get both guys to do the checks, in case somebody got hurt. I have one guy able to do our checks.” It Gets Rough Early. The Tigers have a tough first three games, and Coach Santa Donato is nervous: “ We’re not discounting anybody. We have Saunders. Then we have Gorton, and then we have A Spencer Report. Asked how Mr. Tiger, Spencer Ridenhour, now with “Spencer’s doing real well down there. He’s impressed. He’s doing very very well. You can’t ignore Spencer. He’s got such a great work ethic, I don’t think the Asked if he liked working with a younger team as opposed to a veteran team, Santa Donato said both had their points: “It’s definitely a challenge to get these young guys ready to go. Last year, you’re still coaching, but it was much more subtle nuances you were going over with the kids. Right now we just have to get the basics down with these guys. We had so many veterans last year we could really tweak things a little more. We’re trying to keep it simple right now, not do to much to confuse the guys, until they start getting some experience.” Coach Santa Donato is assisted by his offensive coordinator Mike Stevens, in his fourth year; Mark Armagitta handles the defense, as he has done for Santa Donato for 13 years; and Pasqual Palumbo, Special Teams Coordinator. “Those guys do all the work, “ Santa Donato stressed. Every Tiger a Smart Tiger. But for the man who creates White Plains Tigers, the bottom line is achievement in life. Santa Donato said the Tigers graduated 19 seniors last year and 18 of them are going to college. Those seniors attending college from the football class of 2004 and playing football in school this year are: Mike Johnson (Cortland State), Mike Devere (Alfred State), Raeshone Foote (Western Connecticut State), Ryan (“The Reason”) Smalls ( Utica College), Spencer Ridenhour (Penn State), John Corretti (West Point), Garbriel Robles (Iona College), Joe Vitanza (Sacred Heart University), and Evan McGuire (Cornell University). 2004 Tigers attending college, but not playing football are Sean McLaughlin ( $748,000 in Aid & Scholarship Monies. Coach Santa- Donato noted that the Football Class of 2004 of 19 graduates won $748,000 in Scholarship and Financial Aid, and since 1992, 90% of his football players have gone on to higher education, receiving $3.9 Million in Athletic/Academic Scholarship and Financial Aid Monies in twelve years.

From Miles Ehrenkranz. September 1, 2004. UPDATED September 2, 2004, 5:45 P.M. E.D.T.: DC Superior Court stands accused of serious criminal acts, including tampering and falsification of official court transcripts, as well as obstruction of justice, based on research conducted by the Center for Judicial Accountability on behalf of its Chairperson, White Plains’ Elena Ruth Sassower currently serving a six-month sentence in the D.C. Jail for disruption of congress. Her appeal for release alleges a tampering of the transcript relating to her sentencing procedure. Mr. Ehrenkranz reports Thursday afternoon that the Center has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for a tape of the court proceedings in which her sentencing was handed down. He also reports that he expects Ms. Sassower’s appeals may be heard in 30 days, meaning she will spend at least 90 days in the D.C. jail, because her papers were marked “expedite,” and not “urgent.” The difference, Mr. Ehrenkranza reports he was told by the court is that cases are considered in 3 days when papers are marked “urgent,” and rulings within 30 days for papers marked with any other nomenclature. In light of the American Civil Liberties Union taking up the case of jailed protestors in New York City today on the grounds it inhibits free speech, it should be noted that the ACLU has made effort to support Ms. Sassower’s plight or freedom of speech:, she was jailed for asking a polite question in a congressional hearing. Contrary to commentary to this site describing Ms. Sassower’s actions as disruptive, Ms. Sassower was jailed for daring to ask a question in a congressional hearing, according to her spokesperson: On Mr. Chairman, there’s citizen opposition to Judge Wesley based on his documented corruption as a The question was respectfully asked after Ms. Sassower had waited patiently through two hours of speeches in favor of Mr. Bush’s judicial nominees and after the Chairman had gaveled down an adjournment without inquiring as to whether anyone else present wished to be heard. Within seconds, Ms. Sassower was forcibly removed from the Senate Chamber, handcuffed behind her back, arrested and incarcerated before being brought before a Magistrate and charged with “Disruption of Congress,” to which she pleaded “Not Guilty,” a plea maintained by her throughout. The case went to trial before DC Superior Court Judge Brian F. Holeman, himself one of Mr. Bush’s recent nominees, at age 46, with no prior judicial or criminal trial experience. Totally disregarding the presentence reports and recommendations of the Judge Holeman offered Ms. Sassower a long list of conditions to her release on probation, which were unconstitutional, illegal and immoral, conditions which the Judge knew she could not, and should not have had to accept, to save herself from jail. After being repeatedly pressed by the judge for a “Yes or NO” answer to his question as to whether she would accept the conditions, Ms. Sassower said “NO.” At that, with no forewarning, findings or opportunity to be heard, the judge DOUBLED her jail sentence to the never before mentioned MAXIMUM of SIX MONTHS and directed her Incarceration to commence “forthwith.” He further denied her a stay pending appeal, customary in nonviolent, non-felony criminal cases. This, despite the According to Miles Ehrenkranz, spokesman for the Center, “the conviction and sentence of Ms. Sassower are being appealed to the DC Court of Appeals as vindictive, discriminatory, and totally unprecedented in a First Amendment free speech case, on a record, rife with reversible factual and legal errors. Most glaringI was the judge’s refusal to recuse himself for bias and self-interest, which was demonstrated from the judge’s failure to throw the concocted case out at the beginning to the end of the sentencing proceeding.” Audiotape Withheld by Court For appeal purposes, the Center made a motion to obtain the audiotape of the sentencing, which was denied without explanation, by the Chief Judge of the DC Superior Court. Thereafter, the Center received, without explanation, an “Amended Transcript,” provided under the Court’s auspices, relating to the June 28 sentencing proceeding, which was the subject of an earlier Transcript already in the possession of the Center. Just a few mistakes in the transcripts The two transcripts showed profound differences. The “Amended Transcript” contained two additional pages omitted from the end of the original and material alteration of the final words on the last page of the original Transcript. Such was to make it appear that the two added pages were part of the original sentencing by changing the words “The proceedings were concluded” to reflect that the Court had gone into “a brief recess.” The content of those two missing pages revealed what the original Transcript was intended to cover up: that the judge, at some unknown time after the press and public had departed from the Courtroom on seeing Ms. Sassower shackled and hauled off to be incarcerated, all without notice or opportunity to be heard, had wrongfully had Ms. Sassower returned from the jail to his courtroom at some unknown time, because as he stated on the record, he had “failed” to inform her of her appellate rights. Denied routine stay When Ms. Sassower at that point renewed her pre-sentence request for a stay pending appeal, Judge Holeman denied, admitting, however, that such denial was based on an impermissible reason, which was his general bias against granting any convicted criminal defendants stays pending their appeals and he was “not going to start now.” Upon the Judge’s direction that Ms. Sassower be once again removed by the “Starkly revealed by the two transcripts are not only material factual discrepancies, omissions, and alterations, but biased, discriminatory, and otherwise unconstitutional judicial conduct committed by the DC Superior Court, which would not have been known, but for my request for the audiotape, since neither the prosecuting US attorneys nor the Judge let the fact of the secret post-sentence proceeding be known,” concluded Doris L. Sassower, Cofounder and Director of the Center for Judicial Accountability, Inc.

Oppenheimer’s Opponent Withdraws from State Senate Race
September 3, 2004
Mrs. RoseMarie Panio
Chairwoman
Westchester County Republican Party
214 Mamaroneck Avenue
White Plains, NY 10601
RE: Withdrawal Notification from 37th Senatorial Race
Dear Mrs. Panio:
Please be informed, effective immediately, I am withdrawing from the 37th Senatorial Race.
Over the past couple of months, I truly expected, at the very least, support from the Republican Party, its district leaders and elected officials. This clearly is not the case. Further eroding my confidence, the Conservative Party had miserably failed to do their job, which consequently diminished my chances against a 20-year incumbent Democratic Senator.
The recent resignation of Joseph F. Spiezio, III from the Independence Party visibly indicates the minor parties are disorganized and questionable. In addition, I am convinced that the assurances given to me by a former state senator regarding financial support from the Republican State Committee were false.
False promises, lack of support and cooperation have forced me to take an objective look at sacrificing valuable family time and my business for a cause that I openly have no support. I am disappointed that it has ended like this especially after wanting to make difference. It seems that all of the parties are going through a process that I choose not to be part of at this point in time.

Spano said a bomb blast study by the Army Corps of Engineers warrants the closure of Westlake Drive. Public Safety Commissioner Thomas Belfiore analyzed the bomb blast data with the help of an independent engineering firm and recommended that the road remained closed because reopening it to traffic could pose a risk to the dam.
The county is working with the NYC Department of Environmental Protection to develop protocols to allow emergency vehicles on the roadway.
