After flirting with Adam Bradley to run for Mayor, and being turned down, the Republicans WPCNR has learned The White Plains Republican Party has nominated Cassimiro Cibelli, an administrator of public schools for the City of New York to run for Mayor of White Plains.

Mr. Cibelli ran for Common Council as a Republican in 2007,and was the leading vote getter among Republicans, but still losing by 1,901 votes to Milagros Lecuona for the third council seat.

According to his LinkedIn site, he is currently New York Academy of Public Education, Executive Director, with the NYC Department of Education Office of Safety and Youth Development.

The party, deciding at the eleventh hour with Brian Maloney and Tim Sheehan serving as the architects of the slate, will run Carl Albanese, an independent television producer,videographer and documentary producer with a worldwide reputation is a long time city activist and critic of the city handling of the massive 40 year pollution of the city dump and foot-dragging on its clean-up, and one-time candidate for Mayor will run for one council seat. Anne-Marie Encarnacao will run for another council seat.

Claudia R. Murphy, the owner of Happy Paws pet sitting, and treasurer for the Carhart neighborhood association, and president of the Live Oaks condominium board of managers. She was very active in the fight against the proposed detox center on Dekalb Avenue and quite vocal at the public hearings regarding that project will run for the third council seat.

A party worker told WPCNR the Republicans would have no problem filing a petition for the slate in time for next week’s (July 8-11) deadline for signatures due at the Board of Elections for filing for the November election.

County Executive Robert Astorino’s political organization had been badgering the Republican city committee to run a full slate to get voters out in White Plains. A WPCNR source said the Repubicans did not expect financial support from the Astorino campaign for their White Plains slate.

Thieves Target White Plains Beautification Foundation Gardens. Community Asked to Be Watchful

Posted on July 2, 2013 by John Bailey

Dear Editor

Each year dedicated volunteers of White Plains Beautification Foundation (WPBF), a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, spend countless hours raising funds, planning and consulting with local nurseries, and overseeing the planting, maintenance and watering of about 60 gardens in the city of White Plains.

Donations from generous sponsors in the form of small businesses, corporations and individuals have allowed the foundation to continue its work since 1965. This year the gardens are especially lovely, bursting with vibrant colors and textures.

So, it is with much sadness that we have discovered a recent rash of thefts from several of our gardens, including as many as 40 plants from one garden. The thieves may assume the city’s Department of Public Works or Recreation and Parks will simply replace the lost plants, but that is not how it works.

In order to maintain the gardens at the level expected by our sponsors, WPBF must assume the cost of replacing what’s been stolen or vandalized. What makes the crime more heinous is the fact that many of WPBF’s gardens are memorial gardens planted to honor sponsors’ loved ones.

Those who steal plants from the gardens defile their memories and belittle the passion of the WPBF volunteers who endeavor to bring beauty and areas of quiet respite to our bustling city.

To all those who contemplate stealing from our gardens, please show some respect for the labors of others, visit one of our local nurseries and pay for your own plants. Going forward, WPBF gardens will be under increased surveillance; vandals will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

White Plains Commissioner of Public Safety David Chong told WPCNR today:

” As far as damaging property, depending on the monetary amount of damage, the
charge would be criminal mischief as either a misdemeanor or a felony. If
someone stole items, we would charge them with larceny. We have arrested people
in the past for vandalism and will continue to arrest them as this type of crime
will not be tolerated in this city.”
