Hochul provides update on public health front
Gov. Kathy Hochul updated New Yorkers this week on the state’s progress combatting COVID-19 and outlined basic steps they can take to protect against the spread of viral respiratory infections that become more common in the winter season.
“As we head into the new year, I urge everyone to remain vigilant and continue to use all available tools to keep themselves, their loved ones and their communities safe and healthy,” Hochul said. “Stay up to date on vaccine doses, and test before and after gatherings or travel. If you test positive, talk to your doctor about potential treatment options.”
Initiative to suspend sales tax on energy costs now in effect
Westchester County Executive George Latimer is reminding residents to check their heating bill almost a month in to his initiative to suspend sales tax collection on home energy costs from December 1-February 28. The sales tax suspension covers home heating oil, propane, natural gas, electric, coal and wood for residential heating purposes and covers homeowners as well as rental units.
Latimer said: “Westchester County Government is constantly looking to find ways to make the lives of residents a little easier. This winter, heating your home will now cost you a little less. As we all
face rising costs in our daily lives, this suspension of certain sales tax will add extra dollars to the wallets of those who call Westchester home.”
The County portion is 4% however, residents of Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, White Plains and Yonkers will see a reduction of 1.5% as these cities have their own sales tax.
Landlords and renters will be eligible depending on the structure of the unit’s heat and electric use. The initiative is administered by the NYS Department of Taxation and Finance; the vendors will not be assessing sales tax as directed by the
State. The sales tax will automatically be taken off the bill.
Latimer said: “If you see you are being charged Westchester County sales tax for any home energy item starting December 1 please contact the County right away at (914) 995-2900.”
This measure is in addition to the myriad of actions taken by the Latimer Administration and the Board of Legislators to combat rising inflationary costs nationwide. Those actions include the capping of sales tax on gasoline purchases, waiving of fees at certain parks and pools and – most notably – suspending fares on Bee-Line buses.
Governor Hochul is urging New Yorkers to take common prevention measures — like staying up to date on vaccines and practicing proper hygiene — to protect from Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), the flu and COVID-19 and reduce the patient burden on local hospitals. The Governor recently updated New Yorkers on the state’s winter health preparedness efforts.
Last week, the New York State Department of Health announced new guidance for bivalent COVID-19 booster doses, which are now available for eligible children down to 6 months of age. The updated boosters are the first to be targeted to the original virus strain and recently circulating variants, and are recommended for young New Yorkers and all those eligible.
As flu cases continue to climb across much of the State, the New York State Department of Health recently reminded New Yorkers to take preventive action, including getting a flu shot. A new report shows cases remain very
high statewide. The weekly flu report also confirmed a total of five influenza-associated pediatric deaths in the state.
Emergency department visits for patients with flu-like symptoms remain very high. The Department’s most recent influenza surveillance report also found 79 lab-confirmed outbreaks in longterm and acute care facilities in the State for the same week.
Governor Hochul previously launched a public awareness campaign featuring New York State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett speaking directly to New Yorkers about the three viruses now circulating in the state with similar symptoms and the potential to cause serious illness. Produced by the New York State Department of Health, the videos include a short clip and a longer version geared toward parents; and a version aimed specifically at health care providers.
The governor also asked New Yorkers to get their bivalent COVID-19 vaccine boosters. To schedule an appointment for a booster, New Yorkers should contact their local pharmacy, county health department, or healthcare provider; visit vaccines.gov; text their ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233 to find nearby locations.
In addition, Hochul encourages New Yorkers to get their annual flu vaccine as flu season is widespread across New York State. The flu virus and the virus that causes COVID-19 are both circulating, so getting vaccinated against both is the best way to stay healthy and to avoid added stress to the health care system.

The state Building Officials Conference Westchester Chapter Plays Secret Santa
NYSBOC (New York State Building Officials Conference) Westchester Chapter members organized a special Secret Santa this year for students of CPW’s BRIDGE School on December 21, 2022. This special event would not have been possible without the generous and dedicated members of NYSBOC’s Westchester Chapter and their families who purchased, wrapped, and donated over 70 presents. Each BRIDGE School student took turns visiting our CPW Santa and receiving a gift, brightening the holiday for all involved.
The New York State Building Officials Conference Westchester Chapter, under the leadership of Sal Pennelle, has been a tremendous supporter of Cerebral Palsy of Westchester over the past eleven years. Since 2012, members have donated holiday gifts to each student in CPW’s school program, and in 2014 chose CPW as their charity of choice. Proceeds from their annual fundraising events have been used for capital improvements to CPW’s main campus in Rye Brook, including renovations to the gym, construction of a sensory room, and the development of CPW’s adaptive playground, Harmony Park.

Latimer reminds residents to take precautions during power outages, cold weather
Westchester County Executive George Latimer cautions all residents to take this holiday weekend’s below-freezing temperatures seriously when they leave home, and for those who have lost power to heat their homes safely and follow the Health Department’s food safety guidelines.
Latimer said: “We want everyone to celebrate safely. If your holiday plans involve a road trip, prepare for the unexpected. With temperatures dropping into the teens this weekend, allow extra time for travel, keep blankets in your car in case of a breakdown, and always keep your cell phone charged. Before you go out, bundle up in layers, and make sure to wear a hat and gloves. If you have lost power, heed the Health Department’s advice to avoid mishaps and don’t be afraid to ask for help.”
Health Commissioner Sherlita Amler, MD, offered this advice to feed your family safely after a power outage:
• Keep your refrigerator closed as much as possible. Do not assume refrigerated foods are safe. If food is still fully frozen, it is safe to use.
• Foods that have warmed to room temperature for more than two hours or have come into contact with flood waters should be discarded. When in doubt, throw it out.
• During a prolonged outage, these foods are potentially hazardous if not stored below 45 degrees Fahrenheit and should be discarded: meat, poultry, seafood, cold cuts, hot dogs, eggs, cream, sour cream, yogurt, milk, custards, puddings, soft and shredded cheeses, cut fruit, cooked vegetables, pasta, casseroles, unbaked cookie and bread dough, gravy, creamy salad dressings, fish sauces, hoisin sauce, opened spaghetti sauce and garlic in oil.
• After disposing of spoiled food, disinfect the refrigerator to avoid further contamination. Discard any cans of food that are rusted, dented or opened.
• If appliances are wet, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. Then, unplug appliances and let them dry out. Have appliances checked by a professional before using them again.
• Storm clean-up can produce a great deal of garbage, which invites insects and rodents. Store your garbage in watertight, rodent/insect-proof containers with tight-fitting covers.
The County’s Department of Emergency Services and Health Department offers more guidance for residents and business owners to stay safe without power, including:
• Never run a generator in a basement, garage, porch or carport. Generators produce carbon monoxide that can quickly be lethal indoors. Only operate a generator outdoors and away from open windows.
• Do not exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Overloading your generator can damage it and any appliances connected to it. Fire may result.
• If your generator has a detachable fuel tank, remove it before refilling. If this is not possible, shut off the generator and let it cool before refilling.
• Avoid tragedy: never use a natural gas or propane stove or your kitchen oven to heat your home.
• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using alternate heating sources like space heaters and wood burning stoves and never leave children or pets unattended near them. Never place a space heater within three feet of anything that may catch on fire, such as drapes, furniture or bedding, on top of furniture or near water, and never cover your space heater.
• If you use a fireplace, wood stove or portable kerosene heater to stay warm, be sure to adequately ventilate to the outside to avoid carbon
monoxide build up in your home.
• Leave a light on to let you know when power has been restored.
• Use flashlights or battery-operated lanterns instead of candles, as candles are a fire hazard.
Health Commissioner Sherlita Amler, MD, said: “If you must spend time outdoors, take frequent breaks to warm up inside. Know and recognize the signs of frostbite and hypothermia.”
Hypothermia happens when a person exposed to cold loses heat faster than it can be produced. Warnings signs of hypothermia in adults include shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech and drowsiness. In infants, look for bright red, cold skin and low energy. If you see any of these signs, take the person’s temperature. If it is below 95°, get medical attention immediately.
Frostbite is an injury that causes a loss of feeling and color and most often affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers, or toes. Frostbite can cause permanent damage. The risk is increased in people with reduced blood circulation and among people who are not dressed properly for extremely cold temperatures.
At the first signs of redness or pain in any skin area, get the person out of the cold or protect any exposed skin. Seek immediate medical care. Signs of frostbite include white or grayish-yellow skin, numbness or skin that feels unusually firm or waxy. Victims are often unaware of frostbite until someone else points it out because the frozen tissues are numb.
Anyone in need of immediate shelter may contact the Westchester County Department of Social Services at (914) 995-3333 (during business hours) or (914) 995-2099 (after hours and on weekends).

County airport launches Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program
The next time you see a sunflower lanyard at Westchester County Airport, take notice. Just in time for the busy holiday travel season, Westchester County Airport is launching the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program to support passengers with hidden disabilities and accessibility needs. When travelers voluntarily choose to wear a sunflower lanyard, it is a way for them to discreetly inform others that they have a disability. The Program is designed to support all passengers who use Westchester County Airport, and ensure they have a positive travel experience.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “Just because you cannot see a person’s disability, does not mean that it doesn’t exist. It is important that we care for all of our passengers at Westchester County Airport, and in particular in this enhanced way for those with accessibility needs. The Sunflower Program will help people with hidden disabilities inform others – through the use of their lanyard – that they may need additional support services, which we are happy to provide.”
A few key points about the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program are as follows:
• Passengers who voluntarily wear a sunflower lanyard do not need to disclose their disability.
• Wearing a sunflower lanyard will not expedite you through TSA security screening.
• Passengers are able to use their sunflower lanyards and other products at other airports and businesses that support the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower.
Airport Manager April L. Gasparri said: “Westchester County Airport community is thrilled to launch this important program. With over 750,000 departing passengers projected for this year, I’m certain we host many travelers with hidden disabilities. Inclusivity is part of our County’s fiber; it’s only natural to make it organic in an airport travel journey.”
Federal Security Director Robert Duffy said: “The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a proud supporter of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program. Today, we at the TSA are pleased to assist the leadership of the Westchester County Airport in starting this very important and highly successful
program at HPN. We at the TSA constantly strive to provide thorough and effective security screening at all airports in a professional and respectful manner. The use of Sunflower Lanyards will help us to better serve the needs of the traveling public by bringing to our attention those passengers who may require additional time and assistance as they pass through our security screening checkpoints.”
Director of the Westchester County Office for People with Disabilities Evan Latainer said: “Here is another example of Westchester County working with the disabled community in providing valuable resources to a customer base that utilizes everyday services here in Westchester. The Sunflower Program provides passengers who happen to need assistance a subtle way for airport staff to recognize that the wearer might need some assistance to navigate through the airport.”
Chairperson of the Advisory Council on People with Disabilities Carin Horowitz said: “The Sunflower Lanyard Program is just one of many ways in which the Westchester County Airport is working to address the needs of people with disabilities coming through its doors. As the Chairperson of the County Executive’s Advisory Council on People with Disabilities, we are excited to propel our partnership with airport leadership to move these initiatives forward that increase accessibility and awareness at the airport.”
President and CEO of Skyqueen Enterprises Millie Becker said: “I speak from personal experience when I say The County has been a leader and a model for Autism Early Intervention. Westchester County Health professionals led our family to the resources and guidance we needed to help our son John learn and grow. As a proud member of the airport community I am grateful to the County Executive and the Airport Manager for bringing the Sunflower Lanyard Program to HPN. Traveling is a stressful experience and now families with Special Needs will know the airport has the resources and to make their experience as easy and enjoyable as possible.”

Griping about success
I’ll never understand some sports fans. When it comes to their teams, there is a not-insignificant portion of people will choose misery and pain over success nine times out of ten. And to those people, I just have to ask; “What the heck are we here for?”
Over the last few weeks, the New York Mets—and owner Steve Cohen—have embarked on a historic off-season spending spree, throwing serious dollars at free agents that—one would hope— would finally lead the Amazin’s to the promise land and a World Series Title.
Lose Jacob deGrom? No worries, let’s just bring in Justin Verlander and top-international free agent Kodai Senga. Edwin Diaz had a nice year in 2022? Let’s lock him up for the next five years. The Carlos Correa saga—though far from
over at the time of publication—is yet another example of the Mets’ top brass being willing to go above and beyond when it comes to making Flushing an attractive landing spot for high-priced free agents.
And yet there is a specific subsection of Mets fans who seem to be upset with these moves; namely, the Met fan who has relished the role of underdog in this town.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not as if this particular Met fan was happy with the way things were being run before Cohen took over. Of course they hated the penny-pinching Wilpons and the short-sighted financial moves that doomed the Mets to mediocrity more often than not.
But now, when faced with being one of the true favorites to be playing in late October, these fans scoff as if “buying a championship” is somehow beneath them.
I get it, to a point. As a lifelong Red Sox fan, I always turned my nose up at our neighbors in the Bronx, chalking that late-90s success up to a willingness to out-
spend other teams. But you know what? Winning championships is fun, as I’d later find out and I don’t really care one way or another how my team gets there.
Ultimately, I look at this defeatist mindset as a function of historical bad outcomes. Some Met fans— not all—have been conditioned to expect the worst for their team and chalking collapses up to the ineptitude of ownership is a convenient excuse, a much more palatable way to choke down some of the heartbreak the franchise has experienced over the years.
So when it comes to building a “super-team,” these fans clearly feel uncomfortable in embracing their roles as frontrunners, and are bristling against these moves—at least during the winter months.
I assure you that, come June, if Verlander is tossing darts and Correa is socking dingers and the Mets are in firm control of the NL East, you won’t find these Mets fans talking about being just as loathsome as the Yankees—they’ll
be 100% on board, for sure.
But if the Mets stumble out of the gate, the chorus of “I told you sos” will become deafening. And that’s the beauty of this charade; hoping for the best while publicly
Second half surge carries Eagles past Tigers
• Tuckahoe led 27-12 at halftime
• Ella Moon scored 18 points in the 2nd half
• Sophia Colasacco led Tuckahoe with 20 points
By MIKE SMITH Sports EditorTuckahoe may not have pulled out a win in its final game of the calendar year, but for the Tigers, every contest is a learning experience. Taking on a talented Dobbs Ferry team on Dec. 22, the Tigers showed flashes of brilliance but ultimately couldn’t withstand a second half surge, falling to the Eagles 50-40.
Much of the first two quarters belonged to the host Tigers, as Tuckahoe used defensive tenacity and an uptempo style to head into halftime with a 27-12 lead. First year head coach Silvio DiSalvatore said that his team’s play—especially in a second quarter that saw them shut their visitors out—is indicative of just how good the team can be when things are clicking.
“We showed a lot of energy out there, which, as a coaching staff, we love,” said DiSalvatore. “We got off
to such a good start, but we just couldn’t keep it going.”
Indeed, Dobbs Ferry’s length and ability to shoot from the outside played a big hand in the Eagles’ second half comeback. Ella Moon scored 18 of her 20 points after halftime to lead the comeback charge.
“Dobbs Ferry has a lot of
size, they have a lot of shooters,” said DiSalvatore.”I think it wore us out a little bit.”
Sophia Colasacco paced the Tigers with 20 points and embodied the type of toughness DiSalvatore wants to see in his players. The senior put pressure on Dobbs Ferry’s bigs and was able to amass 19 foul shots on
the day, something that will bode well for the team when it looks ahead to the second half of the season in 2023.
To that end, DiSalvatore has been encouraged by the team’s play and says that, by the time the postseason rolls around, the Tigers (3-5) should be a formidable opponent for anyone.
‘It’s still early but I think we’re going in the right direction and improving each day,” said DiSalvatore. “Obviously there’s a lot more season left to play.”
Tuckahoe returns from the Holiday Break with a big matchup against Class C rival Hamilton on Jan. 6. Hamilton is currently 2-2 on
the year, with losses coming against CSEE Yonkers and Rye Neck. The game against Hamilton kicks off a stretch that will see the Tigers match up with number of Class C opponents, including Leffell and Keio.
