Fire district to fund 3 new engines with reserves

By COREY STOCKTON Staff Writer After considering bonding to replace three firetrucks, the Eastchester Fire District has decided to pay cash from its apparatus reserve fund to finance the rigs.

Each firetruck could cost the district between $350,000 and $650,000 or more, depending on its specific features. On the low end, those trucks could deplete half of the fire district’s $1.95 million apparatus fund; more expensive engines could deplete the fund entirely. During an Oct. 18 fire board meeting, Commissioner Peter Incledon, who cochairs the apparatus committee, added that the district would likely save money by purchasing the three firetrucks at the same time.

Four of the district’s apparatuses were manufactured by American LaFrance, a company which went out of business in 2014 after filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2008. District officials have expressed concern that it would be increasingly difficult to find replacement parts to maintain those engines now that the manufacturer is out of business.

Three of those apparatuses, engines 27, 30 and 31, were manufactured between 2000 and 2001. Those machines will be the first of the Fire Department’s current fleet to be replaced.

Dennis Winter, chairman of the Board of Fire Commissioners, said the fire district will ask for input from its career firefighters to help narrow down the spe-

cific features the trucks should have. He added that it could take a year or longer for the district to get the new machines.

Mike Grogan, chief of the Fire Department, told the Review, “The money is there, reserved for this purpose; so why incur additional costs if we don’t have to?”

Currently, the fire district has no outstanding debt.

Each year, the district allocates a portion of its budget to a long-term apparatus reserve fund, money that it plans to use to purchase new rigs every 10 to 20 years. Last year, that district allocated $300,000 into that fund. This year, that budget line received $250,000.

During the Oct. 18 meeting, the Board of Fire Commissioners

approved the fire district’s 2017 budget, a 2.3 percent increase which remained under the statemandated tax cap. About 70 percent of that budget will go toward salaries and cost of employment for firefighters and other district employees.

In addition, the Local 916 Firefighters Union is in arbitration of a grievance with the district concerning unpaid or underpaid pensions. If an arbitrator rules in favor of the union, the district would have to pay $5.5 million as a lump sum or $7.2 million over time in additional expenses. Winter has maintained his stance that the board would have to cut firefighter jobs in order to fulfill that obligation.

Two candidates for New York state Senate in Westchester’s 37th District continue to court undecided voters in a series of scheduled debates leading up to Election Day. At the Harrison Public Library on Monday, Oct. 17, in front of residents from across the county, incumbent state Sen. George Latimer, a Rye Democrat, squared off against challenger Julie Killian, a Republican councilwoman from Rye. While Latimer, now a two-term senator, looked to champion his blue collar Westchester roots and breadth of experience—he has spent nearly 30 years in elected office—Killian, a first-time Senate candidate, looked to pivot her newcomer status as a harbinger of Albany reform; a major theme in her campaign so far.

“I decided to run for state Senate the day [Sheldon] Silver was arrested,” said Killian, referring to the former Democratic New York state speaker of the Assembly. “Then, Senate leader Dean Skelos was arrested; one Democrat; one Republican….

We deserve better.”

On policy, much of the differentiation between the candidates was made in the minutia, with both candidates agreeing on substance, but not means.

A question regarding either candidate’s willingness to raise the state gas tax in order to fund infrastructure projects elicited a resounding no from both sides.

Each candidate, however, outlined different approaches.

While Latimer, 62, said he would entertain supporting the maintenance to the state’s infra-

structure through bond issuance, Killian pointed to the elimination of New York state’s Scaffold Law—which establishes contractors’ “absolute liability” for elevation-related injuries and contributes to costly insurance rates in addition to lawsuits— as a major point for reform.

Additionally, a question regarding the Women’s Agenda introduced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, in 2013 which referenced a facet that would protect women’s right to choose saw similar sentiments, but differed on specifics.

Killian, 54, explained to the audience that women deserve access to safe and reasonable health care, while Latimer took the opportunity to flex his knowledge on finer points in the agenda.

“The actual question was, will I vote for the 10th point, which codifies the federal protection for the women’s right to choose, which protects women’s right to choose at the state level,” he explained, characterizing Killian’s answer as vague. “And I would vote for that.”

The crux of the debate, which lasted just under 25 minutes for the state senator’s portion of the night, centered on incumbency versus reform.

Senate candidates duel in radio debate For the first time in the campaign, Democratic New York state Sen. George Latimer and his Republican opponent Julie Killian went blow for blow on the radio, in a live on-air debate on WVOX radio in New Rochelle.

The duo, both who hail from the city of Rye, have already debated publicly in several arenas throughout the district, but never before a radio audience that stretches across Westchester County and the Senate’s entire 37th District.

WVOX host Bob Marrone moderated the hour-long debate on Wednesday, Oct. 19 alongside two panelists, Review publisher Howard Sturman and Journal News reporter Mark Lungariello.

Letters to the Editor

George Latimer is above dirty politics

Why I support Julie Killian for Senate

To the Editor, George Latimer has served Larchmont and Mamaroneck brilliantly for many years. In one fell swoop, his opponent—in a constant barrage of negative mailings—would have us believe she’s a better choice for our communities. Not a chance.

George has helped pass legislation allowing for the town of Mamaroneck and the village of Mamaroneck to govern their own parking rules by the train stations. He has secured money for public projects such as with the Larchmont library and the field at Mamaroneck High School. He fought while in county government for help for sewer project upgrades, and he responded when Ward Avenue residents needed help.

He has been present as part of our communities, attending all manner of events from The Summit, to interfaith gatherings, to grieving with us at 9/11 ceremonies. He works with our local chambers of commerce, with our fire departments, our veterans’ posts and senior centers regularly. He has held “Coffee and Conversation” sessions at The Nautilus for well over a decade, with other elected officials, to speak directly with the people of our communities.

He is intelligent and articulate, yet very normal and down to earth. Even for those who are on the other side of an issue, or in the other political party, they genuinely like George, the warmth of his personality and his sense of humor.

So along comes his opponent, and for her ambitious reasons, she determines it is OK to conduct a character assassination of this man we have come to know and love. It is a terrible thing to watch. Is this barrage of attacks what will determine who our state senator should be for the next two years?

I urge all my Larchmont and Mamaroneck friends: Stand by this man who has stood by us time and again. Keep George Latimer as our senator, and tell the other side we simply won’t tolerate dirty attack politics in place of reason, experience and hard work.

To the Editor, I have become increasingly frustrated with the culture of corruption in Albany that has led to the conviction of two leaders—Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos—and the recent indictments of people working closely with Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Sadly, corruption and abuse of power are nothing new in our state Capitol. New Yorkers should be thankful to have federal Attorney Preet Bharara who has gone after a broken system in the absence of any leadership or common sense reforms from incumbents who clearly have little interest in changing a status quo that benefits them. When will it end?

We need change in Albany. That’s why I’m supporting Julie Killian for state Senate. She is committed to term limits, ethics reform and helping small businesses.

She has shown through her civic work, community involvement and local volunteerism that she understands how to get things done. And by pledging to term limit herself, she won’t be an Albany lifer.

This Election Day, there is a clear choice; vote for a political outsider committed to change, or an insider who has no interest in changing the system.

I’m supporting Julie Killian.

Fran Snedeker, Larchmont

By JAMES PERO Staff Writer After nearly a decade of inoperability, Kensico Dam’s vacant reflecting pool could get a multi-million dollar facelift, which would include an addition which county officials describe as a “one-of-a-kind” ice rink and skating circuit.

According to mockups released last Tuesday, a currently baron 92,000-square-foot reflecting pool will be replaced with an outdoor ice rink, in addition to a skating circuit that will stretch for one-third of a mile in total around the rink’s perimeter.

According to Anthony Catalano, an engineer for the firm Woodard & Curran who helped design the project, such a proposal would make Kensico Dam in Valhalla unique compared to any rink in the entire region.“There is no design like this,” Catalano said. “The rink can accommodate any kind of skater—beginners, advanced, hockey players and kids who just want to traverse around the loops.”

According to Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, a Republican, who unveiled the plans at an Oct. 11 press conference at the site, the project would cost about $25 million, including renovations that were proposed for the reflecting pool in 2015 that were not completed due to cost.

The improvements to Kensico Dam are being introduced as a part of $100 million in capital improvements to the county parks system that was recently outlined in a $303 million capital budget sent by Astorino to the county Board of Legislators for approval on Oct. 14.

Amongst the incentives to fund the project now, the administration cited historically low interest rates as well as the county’s superior credit rating compared to other counties in the state.

New amenities and a refurbished fountain wouldn’t be the only new fixtures at the park, however. An added dose of star power, the Astorino administration hopes, would also help bring more visitors.

As a part of a partnership with the county, the New York Rangers would also hold regular public clinics at the rink for families across Westchester.

Ex-Ranger Adam Graves was at the press conference to talk about the virtue of having an outdoor facility like the one being proposed in Valhalla.

“The thing that makes me smile the most is that it’s all about family,” Graves said.

“What greater gift could you give than something like this, where you’re going to create memories that kids are never going to forget?”

According to representatives from the engineering firm Woodard & Curran, which drafted the preliminary designs, though the rink would transform Kensico’s space, it would also utilize the features already present; piping that already exists beneath the defunct reflecting pool’s foundation would be expanded and utilized to refrigerate the ice seasonally.

Additionally, the new systems installed to maintain the rink and new fountain will be designed

Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino pitches his campaign for the rink on Oct. 11 with a tagline. “As the ancient Romans used to say: Carpe diem. Seize the day,” he said. “And if they were here today, they would also say: Aedificare in glaciem. Build the rink.”

to conserve water and also cut down on energy costs by using LED lighting as well as energyefficient chillers.

While the final plans must still be approved by the Board of Legislators—currently only refurbishing the reflecting pool has the board’s approval—the Astorino administration hopes that the project could be completed by November 2017; just in time for Kensico Dam’s 100th

anniversary.

The dam was purchased by the county in 1963 from New York City and originally featured a makeshift skating rink that was utilized during winter months when the reflecting pool froze over.

Lawrence Hospital’s fall prevention program As the weather turns colder and fallen leaves give way to wintry conditions, the chance of slips and falls become greater.

As we age, physical changes and health conditions that require medications can also make us more susceptible to falling. At NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville, we have a Falls Prevention Program to help older adults improve balance and identify strategies for staying safe.

The program is overseen by the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and led by licensed physical therapists. Participants learn about potential hazards in the home such as throw rugs, extension cords, wet floors, and other environmental fall risks.

Therapists review what to do if you fall, including instructing participants on the easiest ways to get up from the floor.

Individuals are also evaluated

for their own fall risk. One tool used is an electronic balance system. By utilizing specific information including height and age, the device can determine an individual’s score and a plan of treatment can begin. Training and therapy programs are individually tailored and the length of the program may vary. Some therapies include lower extremity strengthening, core stability, gait training, and practicing going up and down stairs. When appropriate, physical therapists will take participants outside to test their ability to walk on uneven sidewalks, grass, and around curves.

While falls may be the leading cause of injury in seniors, they shouldn’t keep you from enjoying life to the fullest. Here are some strategies for reducing your risk for falling.

1. See your doctor Make an appointment with

your doctor and discuss any previous falls and the medications you are taking to determine if there are any side effects or drug interactions that can increase your chance of falling.

2. Get fit and keep moving Staying active has many benefits including reducing your risk for falls. Talk to your doctor and confirm if you can participate in physical activities like walking, swimming, yoga or tai-chi.

3. Beware of Rover According to the Falls Prevention Coalition, about 86,000 fall injuries are caused by dogs and cats each year. To create a safe environment for you and your pets, remove all pet toys, water and food bowls from walkways and paths. Wipe up spills immediately.

4. Wear sensible shoes Steer clear of high heels,

floppy slippers, and shoes with slick soles that can make you slip, stumble, and fall. Try not

to walk in your stocking feet.

tion Program, please call 7873370 or visit nyp.org/lawrence.

‘Healthy foods’ that may cause weight gain

A desire to lose weight compels many people to pursue healthy lifestyles. Foods dubbed as “healthy” foods may not help people lose as much weight as they hope. Consumers should realize that, while there are many healthy options available, even foods billed as healthy can cause weight gain if overdone.

Cereals: Many cereals contain whole grains and a bevy of nutritious ingredients, but many are also high in sugar and other refined grains that aren’t nutritionally sound. Always read food labels to review ingredients before purchasing new foods. Don’t go by what the front of the package says or any “healthy” buzzwords used.

The nutritional information will be telling, listing the amount of sugar, calories and refined carbohydrates, which can derail healthy eating.

Juices: Juice seems like a healthy choice, but whole fruits are the better option. Juices may not retain the peels of the fruits, which tend to contain the fiber and the bulk of the nutritional content. Juice may also be loaded in calories, whereas whole fruit tends to be low in calories.

Granola: Granola is full of

healthy ingredients, but it also may contain other ingredients that can be high in fat, like oils or nuts. Granola is best when eaten in moderation.

Good fats: Certain superfoods contain a lot of nutritional benefits, but may be high in fats as well. For example, avocados contain fiber, vitamin C, vitamin E, and potassium, among other antioxidants, and can be quite filling. However, they also are calorically dense, so keep an eye on serving sizes.

Wine: The health benefits of red wine have been widely touted. People who consume wine may be at a reduced risk for heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease and certain cancers. Red wine also may help keep weight gain in check. But it’s important to avoid overconsumption of red wine. A five-ounce serving is roughly 130 calories, and too many glasses of wine can impair your judgment.

Yogurt: Check the labels on your favorite yogurts. Yogurt is a great source of protein, but that may be offset by sugar or chemical additives. Plain Greek yogurt is a smart choice, and you can supplement yogurt with fresh fruits.

Simple ways to stay fit all year long Many people find it easier to maintain their beach bodies during summer than they do throughout the rest of the year.

Summer weather encourages people to get off the couch and enjoy the great outdoors, and many people prefer to eat lighter meals during the summer to combat the heat and humidity.

But once the dog days of summer give way to autumn, the motivation to stay in beach shape tends to wane. Couple that dwindling motivation with the tendency to eat larger, heartier meals as the weather gets colder, and it’s easy to see why so many people gain weight over the last several months of the year and into the new year. But maintaining a healthy weight year-round promotes long-term health and reduces a person’s risk for various ailments and diseases, including heart disease and

Joining an exercise group is one way men and women can stay motivated and maintain healthy weights year-round.

diabetes. The following are a handful of strategies men and women can employ as they try to turn their beach bodies into the bodies they see in the mirror all year long.

Keep setting goals. As winter heads toward spring, many people set short-term goals to motivate them to get back into beach shape. That’s a highly effective strategy that

need not be exclusive to late winter. Setting short-term fitness and dietary goals throughout the year can keep you from falling back into bad habits. Tie your goals into the season to increase your chances for success. For example, resolve to run outdoors or cycle a certain number of miles each week in autumn, when the weather is still conducive to physical ac-

tivity and the scenery is idyllic.

When winter arrives and exercising outdoors is no longer viable, commit to attending a few fitness classes per week at your gym.

Switch up your workout routine every few weeks.

Boredom also can affect people’s ability to maintain healthy weights year-round. Adhering to the same exercise routine for months on end can grow tedious. The body can even grow accustomed to the same workout routine, meaning you won’t be getting as much out of your exercise sessions as you might if you switch things up.

If you find your daily workouts taking a turn toward the mundane, switch up your routine by changing exercises or signing up for classes that interest you.

Find healthy seasonal foods. Many people prefer to buy locally sourced and/or inseason foods, recognizing the positive impact that such dietary habits can have on the environment. That commitment to buying healthy, locally grown foods can be tested as the seasons change and the offerings at your local market change along with them. Educate yourself about which foods are in-season in your area throughout the year, opting for the most nutritious foods you can find. Buying in-season foods saves you money, and you will also feel good about staying on a nutritious, eco-friendly track.

Join an exercise group or sports league. The buddy system is an effective way to stay committed to a fitness

regimen, but if you cannot find a friend or family member to brave cold winter treks to the gym with you, then consider joining an exercise group or competitive sports league. As summer turns to autumn, join a road runner’s club to motivate you to run. When harsh weather makes running outdoors too difficult, sign up for a winter sports league. Such groups or leagues get you off the couch and provide great opportunities to meet like-minded men and women who have made their own commitments to staying fit.

Staying fit all year long is a challenge for many people. But maintaining that beach body even after summer has come and gone need not be so difficult.

Coffee and colon health Coffee compels many people to rise out of bed every morning. While individuals have many reasons to drink caffeinated beverages, the most notable is often the pep such beverages provide. But coffee, tea and other caffeinated beverages actually may provide additional benefits, including helping to fend off disease, including colorectal cancer.

The American Cancer Society estimates that, in the United States, more than 95,000 new cases of colon cancer and 39,000 new cases of rectal cancer will be diagnosed in 2016. Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in men and women. However, coffee may help reduce instances of colon cancer.

A study titled “Coffee Consumption and the Risk of Colorectal Cancer,” which was published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, found that regular coffee consumption inversely correlates to colorectal cancer risk. Coffee has been identified as a protective agent against colorectal cancer, as several of its components affect the physiology of the colon and can make cancerous cells less likely to take root there. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute also substantiates these claims. Frequent coffee consumption has been associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer in a number of case-control studies — for both men and women.

Drinking coffee may not only help keep cancer at bay, it may

boost the survival rate from colon cancer, too. Information from a study published in The Journal of Clinical Oncology stated that colon cancer patients who are heavy coffee drinkers have a far lower risk of dying or having their cancer return than those who do not drink coffee.

Significant benefits start at two to three cups per day. People who consumed four cups of caffeinated coffee or more a day had half the rate of recurrence or death than non-coffee drinkers.

Other data indicates caffeine

alone may not be behind the reduced cancer risks and rates — it may be the coffee itself.

Researchers at the University of Southern California Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center of Keck Medicine found that decreased colorectal risk was seen across all types of coffee, both caffeinated and decaffeinated.

According to Dr. Stephen Gruber, the author of the study, coffee contains many elements that contribute to overall colorectal health, which may explain coffee’s preventive properties. Caffeine and polyphenol can act as antioxidants, limiting the growth of potential colon cancer cells.

Melanoidins generated during the roasting process have been thought to encourage colon mobility, and diterpenes may prevent cancer by enhancing the body’s defense against oxidative damage.

Although data continues to suggest that coffee can help reduce colorectal cancer risk and survival rates, additional information is still needed before doctors can start recommending coffee consumption as a preventative measure.

How new parents can squeeze in physical activity New parents face a host of challenges upon bringing their bundles of joy home for the first time. One of those challenges is altering their lifestyles so they can more capably tend to their child’s needs.

Though expecting parents no doubt anticipate changing their lifestyles to accommodate their growing families, few may know the specifics of how their lifestyles will change. Though each couple is different, many couples see their exercise habits change dramatically upon the birth of their child. A 2011 study from researchers at the University of Minnesota found that both mothers and fathers had lower amounts of physical activity compared with nonparents.

Mothers who participated in

the study reported engaging in 2.36 hours of moderateto-vigorous physical activity, or MVPA, per week, while women without children reported engaging in 3.19 hours of MVPA per week. The disparity was even greater among fathers, who reported getting 5.33 hours of MVPA per week compared to 6.89 hours of MVPA per week for men without children.

Finding time to exercise can be difficult for anyone.

But new parents may find it especially difficult to get daily physical activity. While the following ideas may not replace the vigorous workouts new parents are accustomed to, they may help men and women maintain healthy body weights.

Skip shortcuts. Physical

activity can be embraced just about anywhere. Though you may be used to daily workouts at the gym, such excursions may no longer fit into your schedule. To counter your reduced hours at the gym, skip the shortcuts you have grown accustomed to taking. For example, take the stairs up to your office instead of the elevator and park further away so you can squeeze in some cardiovascular exercise. Skipping shortcuts is a great way to burn calories and can help you maintain a healthy weight even if you are no longer pushing yourself to the limit at the gym each day.

Spread your workouts out over the course of the day. Many people tend to get all of their daily physi-

cal activity in one fell swoop.

But that’s mainly done for convenience and not necessarily effectiveness. Workouts can still be effective if you spread them out over the course of the day. Exercising in small intervals throughout the day may help you maintain your energy throughout the day, and that should be especially appealing to parents of newborns.

Squeeze in a quick workout each time your child naps throughout the day, and do your best to meet your daily quota while your spouse is tending to the baby.

Continue setting fitness goals. Once your child comes home, it’s easy to fall into a routine that does not include exercise. But your long-term health depends on a host of factors, including how physically active you are. Keep setting fitness goals even if it seems like you will have no time once your child is born. These goals can motivate you to find time for exercise no matter how much your lifestyle has changed.

Take your child along.

When the weather permits, include your child in your ex-

ercise routine by taking the baby along with you on walks or bike rides. Purchase a fitness stroller so you can continue to jog even while you look after your child.

New parents need not aban-

don their exercise routines upon welcoming their child into the world. A concerted effort on the parts of moms and dads can ensure they continue to get adequate exercise each day.

Probiotics can be part of a nutritious diet Probiotics can help people combat gastrointestinal distress. Some probiotics can help prevent diarrhea that occurs as a side effect from antibiotics, and they may also be beneficial to those who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome and

conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract.

Probiotics are living microorganisms found in certain foods, most notably yogurt and kefir. They also may be found in products that are not taken orally, such as skin creams.

Probiotics may be concentrated in dietary supplements well.

According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, probiotics are healthy bacteria that help bodies to function properly by aiding in the digestion of food.

Probiotics also destroy diseasecausing microorganisms.

Researchers have studied probiotics to determine their potential role in people’s personal health. Preliminary data suggests that probiotics can be useful in helping with stomach upset from infections and taking antibiotics. Probiotics are also being examined to determine if they can be used to combat allergic disorders, such as hay fever or eczema.

Probiotics also may be useful in the fight against oral health problems that stem from bacteria, like periodontal disease.

Researchers also are looking

Probiotics, like those found in yogurt, may improve gastrointestinal health.

into whether probiotics can be useful in treating the common cold or reducing the severity of the flu.

The Mayo Clinic says side effects to probiotics are rare, and many healthy adults can

safely add probiotic-heavy foods or probiotic supplements to their diets. But before including probiotics in your diet, speak with your doctor to make sure there will be no drug interactions or oth-

er adverse side effects.

More research is needed into the health benefits of probiotics, but there’s encouraging evidence that these live microorganisms can do much to improve personal health.

A unique and holistic Hand & Stone Spa approach to exercise opens in Mamaroneck

Breathe Movement Studio, a Mamaroneck-based movement studio which opened in May, provides unique methodologies to exercise similar to yoga, Pilates and tai chi utilizing primarily resistance based training and body weight workouts.

Located at 501 E. Boston Post Road in Mamaroneck, Breathe Movement Studio is an exclusive GYROTONIC® studio equipped with a private infrared TheraSauna®.

GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS® exercise sequences are composed of spiraling, circular movements, which flow together seamlessly in rhythmic repetitions, with corresponding breathing patterns. Each movement flows into the next, allowing the joints to move continuously through natural range of motion without jarring or compression, thereby reducing the risk of injury. These carefully crafted sequences create balance, efficiency, strength and flexibility.

GYROTONIC® exercises are performed on custom-designed equipment, while GYROKINESIS® exercises are performed on a mat and chair.

The methods are both highly adaptable making them accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical ability. Some clients include accomplished athletes and dancers, college students, baby boomers, senior citizens and people with disabilities.

GYROTONIC® equipment includes a pulley tower containing weights to facilitate complete freedom of movement. The weights provide resistance to develop strength and allow assistance when difficult. The pulley tower is fully adjustable and can meet the needs of many people with varied body types and different levels of strength and flexibility.

Specialized equipment adds to the diversity of the method, implementing the needs of each individual. The studio is equipped with two GYROTONIC® pulley towers and all of the specialized equipment including an archway, a leg extension unit, a jumping stretch board, and a Gyrotoner®. This equipment assists with activating muscles in the natural movement pattern of the body while creating body awareness

through specific and challenging progressions of continuous movement.

Benefits of the GYROTONIC® expansion system include: • postural improvement and alignment • vitality and rejuvenation • abdominal and core body strength • injury and pain rehabilitation • increase in strength and stability • increase in flexibility and joint range of motion • development of coordination • stimulation and strengthening of connective tissues in and around the joints • injury prevention • a high performance program for dancers and athletes • cardiovascular stimulation and promotion of neuromuscular rejuvenation • increase in overall quality of life.

Adina’s Angels Fund at Friends of Karen benefit

DEBATE from page 1

As the clock ticks down on Election Day, the candidates for state Senate in the 37th District, incumbent George Latimer and Julie Killian, look to make their case for Albany reform at a recent debate in Harrison.

Sister and brother Adina and Justin Berkowitz. The Adina’s Angels Fund at Friends of Karen is named in Adina’s memory, who passed away after a four-year battle with leukemia.

All are invited to the seventh annual Benefit for The Adina’s Angels Fund at Friends of Karen on Thursday, Oct. 27 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Mulino’s at Lake Isle, located at 660 White Plains Road in Eastchester. It will be an evening of entertainment, food, drink and inspiration, featuring the music of Maddy Ruff and presenting the Inaugural Angel Award to Sheri Leonard.

How do you go on after the unimaginable happens? In early 2010, while Paula Berkowtiz’s daughter, Adina, was near the end of her four-year battle with leukemia and lay in the hospital, Paula’s world was completely pulled out from under her. First, in February, Paula’s husband died of nonsmoker’s lung cancer and then just a few months later, her 20-yearold son, Justin, died unexpectedly. And just two weeks after that, 17-year-old Adina finally lost her battle with leukemia.

Most people would be consumed by their own pain, but not Paula Berkowitz. Instead, she became determined to make something good come out of her family tragedy and The Adina’s Angels Fund at Friends of Karen was born.

Friends of Karen is a lifeline of support for families in the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area who are caring for a child with cancer or another life-threatening ill-

ness. It provides financial, emotional and practical dayto-day assistance, and its team of experienced social workers, child life specialists and expressive art therapists ensures that the entire family receives an individualized program to help relieve them of their daily needs and concerns so that they can remain stable and functioning.

“When the unimaginable happened in my life and there was nowhere to turn, Friends of Karen came through for my family’s every day needs, in every respect. During the worst time of my life, they made sure I didn’t have to go through any of it alone,” Paula Berkowitz said. So Paula wanted to give back to Friends of Karen and founded The Adina’s Angels

Fund, named in memory of her daughter, to do just that. The fund helps Friends of Karen provide support to families with a child diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and particularly strengthens support for siblings coping with their brother’s and sister’s illness.

Thanks to Paula Berkowitz’s drive and determination, The Adina’s Angels Fund is growing and helping more and more families during their darkest hour. Please help Paula and Friends of Karen continue to provide much needed support to families just like hers.

Killian tended to stay on message, touting herself as a reformer and using ample opportunities to tie Latimer to cronyism in the state Legislature. Citing a statement from New York Attorney General Preet Bharara, Killian told the audience, “There are two kinds of people in Albany; those that are corrupt and those that stand by and watch…. There’s not a Democratic Party, there’s no Republican Party in Albany; it’s the incumbent party.”

On the other end, Latimer spent much of the debate fending off indictments on his long tenure as a politician and championing his own efforts on reform.

“What I think Mr. Bharara

missed in his comments are those legislators who have been working for reform, who have put in bills that would cut down the maximum amount of money that you can donate to a candidate,” Latimer said. “The power is concentrated in a few hands.”

Despite corruption in Albany constituting the majority of the back-and-forth between candidates, before the night’s closing remarks, national politics found its way to the debate stage; specifically feelings on the presidential election’s arguably most controversial candidate, Donald Trump.

In a question regarding whether or not the Republican nomi-

nee for president should resign amidst allegations of sexual assault—which was greeted with murmurs from the audience— both candidates found one point they could fully agree on; disappointment.

While both candidates demurred on condemning, specifically, any of the nominee’s actions, stating that their sights are set on New York state first, Latimer summed his response with one analogy.

“Sooner or later, we have to end this reality TV thing that’s going on,” he said. “I don’t know if that’s going to happen.”

The difference between a statesman and a politician BRONXVILLE TODAY Mayor Mary Marvin

As a student of politics and a believer in its nobleness as a profession, this election season has emerged like no other.

Stunning is the word that come to mind.

In a nutshell, I concur with the thoughts of others who believe that as a nation we are suffering from a drought of statesman and a flood of politicians.

In stark terms, we are learning that a politician and a statesman are not one in the same.

Webster defines a politician as “a person who gives much time to political affairs; a person experienced in politics.” A statesman is defined as “a person who is skilled in the management of public or national affairs.”

Though the definitional difference may be subtle, the difference has enormous consequences in the quality of our government.

At least since the fourth century B.C., the distinction has been duly noted. The Athenian philosopher Demosthenes believed, “A statesman should be ahead of events and not be compelled to follow them.” By that standard, Edmund Burke, who foresaw the rise of Napoleon out of the French Revolution, and Winston Churchill, who spoke against the appeasement of Hitler, certainly fit the definition of a statesman.

Our Founding Fathers were also not politicians. John Adams and James Madison had almost no political experience when they were elected to serve in the Continental Congress.

Political experience, no; but they had education, ideas and conviction—hallmarks of statesmanship. As Adams said of his political stances, “Always stand on principle, even

if you stand alone.”

In a review of historical opinions, there is a commonality of virtues/characteristics that all agree differentiate a statesman from a politician.

First and foremost, a statesman has a moral compass and doesn’t govern by public opinion polls.

By contrast, a politician puts a finger in the wind and follows the most recent Gallup poll.

A politician tells his constituents what he has done for them either through speeches or mailings; a statesman is too busy trying to guarantee a future for his constituents’ grandchildren to toot his own horn.

Through the generations, statesmen have always been perceived as ambitious, yes; but there is a limit as to what they will do to get to the top. They have a code of right and wrong.

Words used to describe statesmen in historical works include noble, visionary, for the common good, trustworthy, possessing integrity; lack of ego.

A statesman has foresight and devises solutions for a generation he will never see. He builds a consensus to achieve his vision, not through ads and propaganda, but with well-reasoned arguments formed from a strong education in the study of history. A political realist, his policies are devised based on their effect on the nation.

A true statesman has a bedrock of principles and believes in fundamental truths.

When speaking, he appeals to the very best within his countryman.

In contrast, the primary objective for a politician appears to be re-election, and stances are influenced by their popularity with the current voting public. And often they tell us what we want to hear, not what they truly think. Woodrow Wilson, more than a century ago, didn’t think too much of

this approach, saying, “If you think too much about being reelected, it is very difficult to be worth re-electing.”

What has moved our nation’s political pendulum from the Founding Fathers to what we are experiencing today?

Many historians lay the blame on too many handlers surrounding a candidate. Everyone now employs speechwriters, pollsters, social scientists and a cadre of sycophants.

Words, actions, ideas are then those of others vetted around a table for their “popularity.”

Authenticity is a casualty of the process. One pundit likened statesmen to vegetables— many people don’t like them, but they are good for us—versus politicians who are like a banana split—all yummy now and I’ll worry about my stomach later.

Our last two presidents, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, assembled the two greatest campaign teams in our country’s history. Myriads of books have been written extolling the brilliance of their campaign execution, and both political organizations serve as templates for successful politicians going forward.

Did their exemplary campaigning translate into exemplary statesmen? History will be the judge.

As an electorate, we have a duty to ferret out the appeasement, the unauthentic, the pandering and be an informed voter on issues that affect our lives, and evaluate candidates beyond sound bites and hair-dos.

In the best of times, only 60 percent of those of us eligible to vote cast a ballot. The United States is at or always near the bottom of numbers of voters in democratic countries who exercise their right to vote.

Euripedes theorized that people get the government they deserve.

Reward for missing Chihuahua Bambi is a 7-year-old spayed Chihuahua and best friend. She has hardly been separated for the six years the Villate family has had her, which makes being apart from her all the more difficult.

Bambi is small with no tags.

She is tan with white around the nose and in the middle of her chest. She also has a little bit of white on her back left paw, and a mole under her chin with a few whiskers. She is shy but sweet, and probably scared.

Bambi went missing from a caretaker’s home in Tuckahoe while the Villates were out of the country on Oct. 10.

The majority of her sightings since then have been in the Wilmont area of Eastchester, by Lord and Taylor, White Plains Road and Exit 18 off the Hutchinson Parkway, Lake Isle and California Road.

Bambi could be anywhere, especially if she was taken in, so please keep your eyes open.

Again, she is timid, so please do not chase her, she will only run away.

The Villates are in contact with all local vets and shelters, so if you are able to take Bambi in, please do the right thing and call Patricia Villate or bring her

Photo courtesy Patricia Villate

to safety at a local shelter, vet or pet hospital.

You can contact Patricia Villate at 787-0112 at any time with information, or like the Facebook page “Bring Bambi Home.”

There is a reward for Bambi’s safe return.

The more the word is spread, the more likely the Villates are able to get her back safely.

Thank you for all of your efforts. (Submitted)

Eastchester schools focus on wellness The Eastchester school district is launching a yearlong comprehensive program that will provide important information on combatting substance abuse and promoting overall wellness.

The goal is to help young people lead healthier lives and prevent substance abuse by encouraging healthy life styles and strengthening the support systems that deter them from drug and alcohol consumption.

The program will include a series of presentations by nationally and internationally renowned speakers. Students, parents, staff, students and members of the community are encouraged to participate in as many sessions as possible. Some speakers will also address secondary level students during school assemblies.

The kickoff event, to be held during National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, is Monday, Oct. 24 from 7 p.m. to 8:15 p.m. in the Eastchester Middle School cafeteria.

Superintendent of Schools Dr. Walter Moran said, “The district is strongly committed to this yearlong series of programs aimed at promoting substance abuse awareness and prevention strategies. We hope that this kickoff event draws a large and enthusiastic audience. In addition to focusing on healthy eating and fitness strategies, it will provide a glimpse into the powerful presentations ahead for this school year.”

The first event on Oct. 24 will feature a live healthy cooking demonstration, yoga demonstration, exercise ideas appropriate for students of all ages, Eastchester Public Library’s mobile checkout unit featuring books on wellness, and healthy food and snack samples from Trader Joe’s.

As the year goes on, additional events will focus on topics of interest to parents and students.

The keynote speaker for November is former NBA Bos-

ton Celtics player Chris Herren, the author of “Basketball Junkie,” his story of how alcohol, cocaine, painkillers and heroin derailed his personal and professional life. The schedule of events will be posted on the district website.

Future evening events—save these dates:

• Nov. 28: “The Rise and Fall of a Basketball Star” with Chris Herren • Dec. 5: “The Adolescent Brain Under Stress” with Dr. Michael Nerney • Jan. 12: “New Year, New You” • Feb. 27: “A Parent’s Story of Tragedy and Loss” with the Salomone family • March 20: “Hidden in Plain Sight” with Jermaine Galloway • April 24: “Prom Safety” • May 1: “Smart Choices During the Summer Months and After High School” with Dr. Michael Nerney All evening events begin at 7 p.m.; locations to be determined in the high school or middle school.

A father, a son, and a crime RHYMES WITH CRAZY Lenore Skenazy

Recently in a St. Francis College classroom in downtown Brooklyn, a law professor dad introduced his son, now 30-something, and said, “I’m very proud of him.”

The dad, Larry Dubin, told the small audience about his son Nick growing up, playing tennis, graduating college and eventually writing three books. What dad wouldn’t be proud?

Then he talked about his son’s diagnosis: Asperger’s syndrome, a developmental disorder on the autism spectrum. As a young child, Nick flapped his arms and jumped a lot. At 3, he barely spoke. As an adult, he still cannot tie his shoes, making it all the more impressive that he has achieved so much.

Then the dad added one more item to his son’s resume: Nick is a convicted felon, a sex offender on the registry. He was found guilty of possession of child porn. “That does not in any way dilute my feelings and respect for who Nick is as a person,” said the dad.

And maybe that’s something the rest of us have to digest.

What the dad has learned the hardest way possible is that many of the people charged with possession of child porn turn out to be people with developmental disabilities. One study found it’s actually the majority, which is not totally surprising. These are people who have often grown up bullied and despised. Their neurological differences affect their lives in many ways, sometimes including the age of the people

they relate to. If you’re 20 or 30 but part of you feels about 8, or 10, or 14, it’s not that remarkable that that’s the age you’d like to see pictures of. You might not even understand it’s wrong.

Now, I realize this is a tough and depressing topic. But that’s why it was so impressive that Larry and his son Nick decided to make this public appearance—their first—to discuss what it’s like to live with a disability and be a sex offender.

They were invited here from their home in Michigan by the Institute for Peace and Justice, The Center for Crime and Popular Culture, and the New York Sex Offense Working Group.

Nick took the podium after his silver-haired, professorial dad. He looked boyish in a striped sweater, which he may have chosen because he can’t tie a tie. People with Asperger’s can be genius-smart in some respects and far behind in others.

“I think you can see how I’ve been able to survive this,” he said, with a grateful nod toward his dad.

As a kid, Nick was tormented.

Boys in the locker room would steal his towel. They taunted him.

But as he watched them growing up and entering relationships, Nick felt even more alone.

Once he discovered the world of online porn, that’s where Nick went to feel less lonely. He knew there was something wrong about child porn, but he had no idea it was illegal. Then one morning, before dawn, his door burst open. Twelve men barged in. They yanked him out of bed, threw him against the wall and clapped him in handcuffs.

“I thought they were burglars,” Nick recalls. “I thought I was going to die.” They were the

FBI. He was under arrest for the pictures he’d been looking at.

By the time his case finally came to court, Nick had undergone five psych evaluations, including one at FBI headquarters. They all concluded the same thing: He poses no threat to actual children. He had never touched any, and wouldn’t.

Nonetheless, he was found guilty of viewing the illegal images, which makes him a felon.

“I don’t enjoy talking about this,” Nick said. But he decided to take this embarrassing leap into the spotlight because as word of his case spread—including the fact that his dad is a law professor—the family phone started ringing. And almost once a month it is a desperate parent, crying on the phone, saying the same thing just happened to their son. A son with Asperger’s, or autism or some other illness.

One case in Alabama just finished last month. A young man with autism was given 10 years in prison, which, Nick pointed out, may kill him. Already outcasts, people with autism have a very hard time with social cues, loud noises and bright lights.

Often, they end up in solitary— sometimes begging for it.

The Alabama judge shrugged, saying, “You have autism? I’m bald. It’s just something we live with.”

Over the years in criminal cases we have come to take into account a defendant’s IQ. We understand that someone with mental retardation should be treated differently.

It’s time we realized that about people with other developmental differences, too.

FASNY tuition reimbursement deadline: 10/28 The Firemen’s Association of the State of New York, FASNY, has announced the Friday, Oct. 28 application deadline for 2016 spring semester tuition reimbursement through its historic educational initiative, the Higher Education Learning Plan, HELP. This statewide community college tuition reimbursement program is geared towards recruiting and retaining volunteer firefighters throughout New York state.

“The FASNY HELP program has helped recruit hundreds of dedicated firefighters serving communities across the state.

The FASNY HELP program exemplifies a ‘win-win’ situation for the student-volunteers and the fire departments, helping meet local departments’ staffing needs and providing better educated first responders,” said FASNY President

Ken Pienkowski.

Under FASNY HELP, any active volunteer firefighter in good standing, and who hasn’t already achieved a college degree, is eligible for up to 100 percent tuition reimbursement. The reimbursement is in exchange for maintaining good grades and fulfilling service requirements in one of New York’s volunteer fire companies. There is no restriction on the type of academic courses that the HELP studentvolunteer can pursue, either on a full-time or part-time basis.

FASNY HELP also covers online courses taken through Empire State College.

Eligible student-volunteers must maintain acceptable levels of training and volunteer activity while attending school and fulfill a service requirement after they complete their course of study.

They must attend a chartered New

York state community college; Empire State College’s inclusion in the program has expanded students’ location options.

Due to a variety of factors, many volunteer fire departments are experiencing the need to recruit and retain more members.

Tuition reimbursement can be an effective incentive for people to volunteer in their local community. The deadline to apply for tuition reimbursement for the 2016 fall semester is Oct. 28.

For more information on the FASNY HELP program, please visit fasny.com/resources/fasny-help.

Founded in 1872, the Firemen’s Association of the State of New York represents the interests of the approximately 110,000 volunteer firefighters and emergency medical personnel in New York state.

Adding injury to idiocy LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

I mean no disrespect when I say this, but I have to admit; baseball players, in general, are not the sharpest tools in the shed.

On Oct. 13, less than 24 hours before the start of the ALCS, Cleveland Indians’ starter Trevor Bauer became the latest in a long line of baseball idiots, when he, attempting to repair one of his drones, ended up in the emergency room after nearly slicing off his pinky. After receiving stiches, Bauer had to miss his scheduled Game 2 start on Saturday, and opted to give it a go two days later when he took the hill in Game 3.

He would last just four batters into the start as his stitches came undone, leading to a bizarre—and bloody—scene on the mound.

But while fans and media members have had some fun with

Bauer’s situation over the last few days—the Indians still won, thanks to a tremendous effort by their bullpen—it’s important to remember that the Cleveland righty isn’t the first casualty in stupidity’s war against baseball players.

In fact, baseball has a long, storied history of oddball injuries, which have—to certain fans like myself—become as much a part of the history of the game as Babe Ruth’s called shot.

Of course, the gold standard of stupid baseball injuries belongs to Braves’ Hall of Famer John Smoltz, who missed a start in 1990 after receiving burns from ironing his shirt—while he was still wearing it.

But even though Smoltz has since claimed that the story was false—let’s be clear, he was quoted in the Atlanta Journal Constitution by beat writer Joe Strauss discussing said injury—it doesn’t mean that Bauer isn’t the only player in this year’s postseason who has his own story to tell.

Chris Coghlan, who currently comes off the bench for the Chicago Cubs, has a story. In 2010, while playing for the then-Florida Marlins, Coghlan chased down teammate Wes Helms, who had just given the Marlins a walk-off win with a bases-loaded pinch hit single, in order to serve a celebratory pie into Helms’ face. The result for Coghlan? A slip, a torn meniscus, and seasonending surgery.

Not to be outdone by his NLCS foe is Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitching coach Rick Honeycutt, who was once ejected in a 1980 game for pitching with a small thumbtack taped to his hand. While Honeycutt sought to use the thumbtack’s sharp point Over the years, there have been plenty of baseball “curses,” from Babe Ruth to the Billy Goat in Chicago.

Eagles blanked by Horsemen Eastchester’s postseason hopes were dashed on Oct. 15, as offensive inconsistency doomed the Eagles in a 28-0 loss to visiting Sleepy Hollow.

Eastchester struggled to move the ball against a solid Sleepy Hollow defense, but the Horse-

men had no such problems on offense, led by 125 rushing yards from halfback Mike Lopez. Lopez found the end zone once as Sleepy Hollow was able to open up a 14-0 lead by the half.

With the loss, the Eagles have been eliminated from postseason

contention, but their season will continue on Oct. 21 when Eastchester travels to take on Tappan Zee in a non-playoff game. Tappan Zee was edged by Hendrick Hudson in the qualifying round, falling 20-14 to the Sailors.

Eagles shock Garnets GIRLS SOCCER

league

EASTCHESTER 1 RYE 0 10/15/16

RYE HS

Game Notes: • Kate McGahren scored the game’s lone goal just six minutes into the contest • Brianna Williams made 13 saves for Eastchester • Rye dropped its last two games of the regular season, falling to Yorktown on Oct. 16

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Although the 2016 season hasn’t been an easy one for Eastchester’s soccer team, it would appear as though the Eagles are rounding into form at the exact right time. On Oct. 15, Eastchester earned a quality road win over one of the top teams in Class A, downing Rye 1-0.

Eastchester tallied the game’s

lone goal just six minutes into the contest, when Kate McGahren fired a shot into the topright corner of the net, beating Rye goalie Hannah Friedrich for what would turn out to be the game-winner. For an Eagles’ team that has struggled somewhat on the offensive end this year, drawing first blood against the Garnets was of the utmost importance, explained head coach Frank Fiore.

“It was huge, and we made a point in pregame to talk about getting on the board first,” Fiore said. “Playing with a lead allows us to sub some people in and out in the midfield and attack, and it meant we could stay fresh.”

But if Eastchester’s offense set the tone early against Rye, it was the performance of a stout Eagle’s defense that sealed the win.

The Garnets managed 13 shots on goal against Eastchester keeper Brianna Williams, all of which were turned away by the senior net minder. Williams did some of her best work in one-on-one situations, and came out of the box four times

to make spectacular saves to preserve the shutout.

“Brianna is excellent at reading the defense, and if it means coming out of the box to do that, she does that,” Fiore said. “And I think the rest of the team fed off of that emotion and her willingness to put her body on the line.”

Eastchester’s win over the Garnets, and their subsequent victory over Class AA White Plains on Oct. 17, gives the Eagles some momentum as the sectional seeding meetings approach on Oct. 19, after press time. Beset by injuries early on, the Eagles finished the regular season with just six wins, but have showed— with a late season surge— that they could still make some noise in the postseason.

“It’s a big confidence boost, this is really the first time all season that we’ve had everybody on our team ready to go,” Fiore said. “Now that we have everybody together, we are hoping to be a team that’s difficult for anyone to play in the postseason.”

Brianna Williams boots the ball downfield on Oct. 15. Williams made 13 saves in Eastchester’s 1-0 win over Rye.
