WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. October 10, 2024:
In recent years Con Ed has excavated many roads in the town of Greenburgh -doing essential gas work. When they complete the work, they repave part of the road that was dug up for months.
At the Greenburgh Town Board meeting on October 9th the Town Board unanimously approved a local law that requires Con Ed to repave the entire road -curb to curb.
The village of Scarsdale has imposed this requirement on Con Ed. And, it has been very successful. I’m very pleased that the Town Board has approved this new local law. Residents are inconvenienced for months when Con Ed does their underground work.
Will make our roads look better and will reduce potentially hazardous road conditions.
PAUL FEINER
Greenburgh Town Supervisor

In recognizing October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, County Executive George Latimer, the Westchester County Board of Legislators and Hope’s Door will “Shine a Light” on victims and survivors of domestic violence.

Latimer said: “We need to do everything we can at the County level to make it safe for victims of domestic violence to report incidences and have conversations about their experiences. So much fear and shame cloud the lives of Domestic Violence victims and their families. It is time to move them from the darkness of these hidden circumstances to the light of healing, support and understanding.”
Board of Legislators Chairman Vedat Gashi said: “October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, reminding us of the important work we’ve done to support those impacted and the ongoing commitment needed year-round. This event highlights the urgency of addressing domestic violence and reinforces our dedication to supporting survivors and preventing future incidents.”

And yes, we help male victims as well. Please get in touch if you or someone you know is being harmed by an intimate partner. We provide services County-wide and if we can’t help you, we will find someone who can.”

By having these conversations publicly and speaking out against domestic violence, especially as we enter October which is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we can gain insight as to the serious nature of domestic violence and remind everyone that it is a crime and that it is unacceptable behavior. Freedom from the fear of violence at home is, and always should be, a basic human right.”

WPCNR THE LETTER TICKER. From the Center for Democracy & Technology. October 2, 2024:
I wanted to flag for you that the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) just released new research exploring the prevalence of online violence on X (Twitter) targeting women of color political candidates in the 2024 U.S. elections.
The research finds that:
The research is a follow-up to a study we conducted in 2022, which found that women of color Congressional candidates in the 2020 U.S. election were more likely to be subjected to violent and sexist abuse, and mis- and disinformation, compared to other candidates.
The study was conducted by the Online Violence Against Women in Politics Working Group at the Ford Institute for Human Security at the University of Pittsburgh, the Politus Project, and the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT).
Best,

Pete Rose leading off for the Reds in Wrigley Field June 1975
WPCNR VIEW FROM THE UPPER DECK. By “Bull Allen”. September 30, 2024:
His nickname was the greatest nickname a ballplayer could ever hope to have:
“Charlie Hustle.”
Pete Rose played hard all the time.
He is the player who leads all of the thousands of major league players in number of games played: 3,562 in 24 seasons.
Hit .303 lifetime in 14,053 trips to the plate.
Pete rifled out 4,256 hits, the most lifetime hits of any major leaguer who ever played.
Today he was finally inducted into the Heavenly Hall of Fame up yonder.
He dove head first into Third Base, his trademark, a spectacular sight. Players faster than he get thrown out trying head firsters today but it was Pete’s extra effort superb feel for the game, the situation and his going airborne at the shortstop
No catcher ever blocked the plate on him because he bowled you over like he did Ray Fosse in the All Star Game, very unfortunate, but that is the way he played the game.
He was the unquestionable leader of the Big Red Machine the last dynasty of baseball in the early Griffey Morgan Bench, Perez Days.
I remember when he got that name, “Charlie Hustle.”
It was in spring training in 1963. Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle were watching the Reds batting. A kid named Pete Rose was hitting and he drew a walk and ran to first base, top speed.
Whitey turned to Mickey and grinning, crooking his thumb said to Mantle, “Charlie Hustle.”
The name stuck because he hustled all the time.
He was a throwback to Pepper Martin of the old “Gashouse Gang” St. Louis Cardinals and the great Redbird great Enos Slaughter, another hustler.
He was also the toughest player I ever saw. To my memory, Pete Rose never was on the disabled list.
My old scorecard with the legendary Cincinnati Reds line up in 1975 Pete is in the leadoff spot. He has grounded to 2nd and walked his second time up.
The last time I saw him play was in 1975 in Chicago at Wrigley field. He always hit leadoff, and often drew a walk raced to first base at top speed and sometimes kept on going to second base. If the catcher lazily tossed the ball back to the pitcher Rose was half way to second.
He was as intimidating as the great leadoff hitters, Wills, Henderson, Rivers, but he could also hit with power. Always took the extra base. Hit according to the situation on the bases. He was a menace to face, bat cocked behind his ear a coil of energy. You never wanted Pete Rose to lead off an inning when you had a lead.
Pete Rose played 3rd base. 1st base. second base,third base and the outfield. He could play anywhere and he hit and bunt. He was the complete ballplayer.
He was smart. He managed the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980 to their first World Championship as Player-Manager and hit himself in the leadoff spot, where he hit .331 in 160 games. Pete inspired players by example. After he was traded from Cincinnati after the 1979, the Reds have not won another World Series.
Pete Rose was affable, a great interview, and never belittled opponents or bragged. He was baseball for 24 years.
When he was found to be betting on his own team, he was banned from baseball. Could not be employed by any team in baseball. Swallowing his pride a number of times he asked baseball to reconsider. The baseball writers and major league baseball never did.
I found it ironic today watching the score of the Braves Mets double header how betting is ok with major league baseball now, except players still cannot bet. I was shocked by “what if” bets you could place via cellphone on the Bleacher Report on outcome probabilities of today’s game on the Draft Kings betting ap.
I cannot think of how many players cheated their ways to pennants in 1951 and most recently the Houston Astros. No results have been overturned by major league baseball, no plaques of cheaters removed from the faux “Hall of Fame.”
Cooperstown stopped being the Hall of Fame when they would not forgive Pete Rose and denied him his entry as baseball’s all time hit leader and games played.
Pete’s death today is finally his induction to the Heavenly Hall of Fame. At last
The Babe, The Iron Horse, Rabbit Maranville, Richie Ashburn,Chuck Klein, Grover Cleveland Alexander Mike Schmidt (four former Phillies), Pepper Martin, Phil Rizzuto, Jackie Robinson, The Duke, Big Newk, The Grey Eagle (Tris Speaker), Catfish Hunter are greeting him, with Shoeless Joe Jackson (member of Black Sox, banned for life for allegedly betting)and host of immortals playing in the Heavenly Leagues, cheers all around wearing their HHF blazers.
t
The Old Crosley Field, 1961 where Pete started his career (note incline at left wall and the Heirloom Beer Sign). Their is a statue of Pete head-first sliding into base at the present Reds stadium. I miss the old parks.
A formal reception honoring Pete is being held tonight in the Heavenly Old Crosley Field where the Heavenly Reds play with its Sundeck, “Moondeck” at night its incline in leftfield and the Ohio River flowing by. Pete, who grew up in Cincinnati and played in that field will know he is in Heaven
Charlie Hustle has always been in the Hall of Fame in my book to me and his fans. He, despite what major league baseball did to him after all he did for baseball is now in the only Hall of Fame that matters— the one in our memories when Pete Rose and The Big Red Machine came to town.
Thank you Pete. We always loved you.
Looking in to homeplate of a model of Crosley Field where Pete Rose held court.
