Sound move Westchester Land Trust announced the permanent preservation of three properties adjacent to the Long Island Sound, totaling 4.3 acres in the village of Mamaroneck. For more, see page 6.

County Board of Health presents 2019 health awards Together with County Executive George Latimer, the Westchester County Board of Health presented the 2019 Public Health Awards on Thursday, April 4, recognizing outstanding contributions to public health in Westchester by five people and one organization and celebrating the accomplishments of the public health community. The presentation at White Plains High School was hosted by the Westchester County Department of Health to celebrate National Public Health Week, which was observed April 1-7.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer presented the winners with proclamations honoring their achievements.

“We are fortunate in Westchester to have so many talented professionals, parents and young people volunteering their time to improve the health of our community,” Latimer said. “I congratulate each of these individuals who have accomplished so much on behalf of our veterans, the disadvantaged and our young people. I encourage other residents to follow their inspiring example.”

Latimer thanked the volunteer members of the county Board of Health for safeguarding the county’s health, along with Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler and the Health Department, who work together to preserve, protect and promote the health of Westchester residents.

Board of Health President Dr. Robert Baker presented the Dr. Harold Keltz Distinguished Public Health Service Award to Stephanie Marquesano, an Ardsley mother who has made it her mission to raise awareness about

co-occurring disorders, which are the combination of one or more mental health challenges and substance misuse/addiction, in both prevention and treatment.

“The tragic loss of her 19-year-old son, Harris, transformed Stephanie Marquesano into a passionate and persistent advocate,” Baker said. “Stephanie has worked alongside mental health professionals to promote an integrated and comprehensive treatment approach, to help BOARD continued on page 10

Measles outbreak hits Northern Westchester Measles has been confirmed in eight Westchester County children, six are siblings, and all are from Northern Westchester.

None of the children attend public schools or childcare programs.

The children range in age from six months to 14 years old.

The Westchester County Department of Health is working with the families and healthcare providers to identify locations where the children may have exposed others. The children, who were not vaccinated, appear to have been exposed to Measles in Rockland County and Brooklyn where there have been ongoing outbreaks.

Anyone who has not been vaccinated can get the vaccine free through the county Health Department.

Call 995-5800 for an appointment.

County Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler urged parents of unvaccinated children to make it a priority for their children to receive the MMR vaccine, which covers measles, mumps and rubella.

“With the increasing number of measles cases in our surrounding area, I strongly urge all parents who have not vaccinated their children against measles to reconsider,” Amler said. “Measles is highly contagious, and nine out of 10 people who are not immune and are exposed to measles will become infected. People can spread measles before they even know they are sick. People

without immunity can catch measles just by being in a room for up to two hours after a person with measles has left. Measles can be a serious infection which can result in pneumonia, swelling of the brain, hearing loss and death.”

Measles is a viral disease

that starts with fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes and sore throat. It’s followed by a rash that spreads over the body. Measles is highly contagious and is spread from person to person by coughing or sneezing. Measles infection can be serious and more severe in young infants, pregnant women and people with a weak immune system. People are at risk for getting sick up to 21 days after being exposed.

Individuals are considered protected or immune to measles if they were born before 1957, have received two doses of measles-containing vaccine or have had a lab test confirming immunity.

Anyone who believes they may have been exposed should contact their healthcare provider.

Latimer recipient of ACE Community Builder Award Recognizing his commitment to building stronger communities and affordable homes throughout Westchester, County Executive George Latimer received the ACE: Henry V. Kensing Community Builder Award at the Allied Community Enterprises, ACE, 2019 Dinner Gala.

ACE is a non-profit organization that seeks to elevate awareness of local housing needs, and develop affordable housing for low and moderate income households.

The award is named after the late Henry Kensing, former ACE vice president, Mount Kisco mayor and town justice, and long-time Westchester County activist. Kensing understood the importance of building diverse, resilient communities, and it is in his spirit that Latimer was selected for the prestigious honor.

“When I first took office as Westchester County executive, I made a personal commitment to ensure that every resident living in Westchester had an equal opportunity to succeed,” Latimer said.

“Developing affordable homes for low and moderate income households is essential to that mission.

We need to elevate awareness of our critical housing needs, and develop support programs that help

to create stronger communities.

Hank Kensing was an exemplary public official; I was honored to have known him.”

Under Latimer’s leadership, Westchester County has begun construction on 336 affordable housing units throughout Westchester, with approvals pending for an additional 234 units. An additional 394 units have been proposed, totalling 964 units as of February 2019.

“Housing is an essential building block in developing strong communities,” said Joan Arnold, executive director of ACE. “George Latimer understands this completely. It is for this reason we are delighted to present the Henry V. Kensing Community Builder Award to Westchester County Executive, George Latimer. Even before George was elected, he was talking to and meeting with the not for profit Housing Coalition.

From these meetings, he created a comprehensive list, including a Housing Needs Assessment, revitalizing the Housing Opportunities Commission, wastewater reform and sourceof-income legislation. George has moved forward on all this and, more. This is exactly what leadership looks like in the Kensing mode, and George is making

great strides in rebuilding an inclusive and sustainable Westchester County and for that we should all be thankful.”

Kensing died on Oct. 24, 2016, leaving behind a legacy in the affordable housing arena.

Each year, the award is given to a public servant who has proven their pledge of safe and affordable housing to residents across Westchester. (Submitted)

Bringing Arts to a neighborhood near you

ArtsWestchester—with major support from White Plains Hospital and Con Edison—will launch its new ArtsMobile with a ribbon cutting and hands-on arts activities for children and families, kicking off an ambitious schedule that aims to bring free arts programming into areas that traditionally have little or no exposure to the arts.

The ArtsMobile is a colorful RAM van custom-fit with all kinds of art supplies. It will travel

Westchester County brining free, engaging arts projects to audiences of all ages.

From April through October, the ArtsMobile is scheduled to conduct more than 80 workshops at places such as White Plains Housing Authority sites, Westchester County festivals, neighborhood parks and community events. Professional teaching artists will lead hands-on activities such as print-making, ceramics, painting, botanical drawing, land-

scape drawing and mask-making.

Research continues to support the fact that engagement in arts activities and creative expression enhances healing, coping and overall health and well-being.

Early exposure to the arts has also been found to play a positive role in academic performance and measurable success later in life.

By Andy Landorf & John Colquhoun

The New 60 is a weekly look about what it’s like to be in your 60’s in today’s world: adult children living at home, downsizing (jobs and houses), finding old friends on Facebook and deciphering text-speak. It’s a Brave New World of second homes, second careers and second marriages…and finding out after a lifetime of milkshakes and ice cream that you’re suddenly lactose-intolerant.

The New 60 is created by two local 60-plus Westchester residents, John Colquhoun of Bronxville and Andy Landorf, who hails from Tarrytown. The duo are long-time advertising creatives and this, as the saying goes, is their Act II. Even though it features folks in their 60’s, if you know someone who is 60, have a parent who’s 60 or just generally enjoy watching funny things happen to other people, you’ll find something to relate to here—you may even find yourself saying, “Hey, that happened to me!”

Westchester Land Trust announced on April 10 the permanent preservation of three properties totaling 4.3 acres on Taylors Lane, in the village of Mamaroneck. These environmentally sensitive parcels are adjacent to the 35-acre Otter Creek Preserve, a nature preserve owned and managed by the Westchester Land Trust, WLT. The conservation of this land will buffer the Preserve from further development, thereby protecting vital wildlife habitat and the water quality flowing into Long Island Sound. In the 30 years since the organization’s founding in 1988, WLT has preserved nearly 8,400 acres throughout Westchester and eastern Putnam counties.

The preservation of these parcels followed the village Planning Board’s granting a subdivision approval to Richard and Caroline Alter for three additional lots at

their 1000 Taylors Lane property. As a condition of approval, the board required that the 3.2-acre lot closest to the Creek be transferred to a conservation organization and WLT accepted the transfer in March.

The two other lots, totaling 1.1 acres and each approved for the construction of one residence, were purchased by WLT with funds donated by private individuals.

“Westchester Land Trust is deeply thankful for the generosity of those individuals who provided critical financial support to enable this acquisition. We are continually inspired by the community’s passion for Otter Creek and are honored to expand the protection of this environmental gem,” WLT President Lori Ensinger said.

All three parcels will be protected in perpetuity from development and managed by WLT as

part of the existing Otter Creek Preserve.

WLT originally acquired Otter Creek Preserve as part of a transfer from The Nature Conservancy in 2015. Otter Creek represents WLT’s largest preserve in southern Westchester, and the most ecologically diverse of its 30 preserves in the region. The largest privately-owned tidal wetland protected as a nature sanctuary in Westchester County, Otter Creek was also designated a Geologic Area of Particular Concern by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in 1978, and shortly thereafter, the village of Mamaroneck declared it a Critical Environmental Area.

Otter Creek Preserve is located along a three-mile stretch of coastline on the Long Island Sound within which are found 90 percent of the remaining productive salt marshes in the county.

The vibrant mix of coastal wa-

ters, marsh, wooded wetlands, uplands and vernal pools makes the Preserve an important site for migratory birds, marine life, insects, reptiles and amphibians, fish and mammals.

The Preserve also offers recreation opportunities including a 3/4-mile forested trail that runs alongside the wetland. There is a seasonally active Osprey nesting platform, first erected in 1994

by The Nature Conservancy and members of the local community, and recently restored by WLT staff and volunteers in March.

Otter Creek Preserve also plays an important role in mitigating climate change. Tidal marsh ecosystems, such as those found at the Preserve, are one of the most highly effective at sequestering carbon from the atmosphere and transferring it into rich organic soils held by their roots. That carbon can remain in the soil for thousands of years, making wet-

land protection and restoration a vital natural climate solution.

Over the past several years, WLT has received grants from the Westchester Community Foundation, the Land Trust Alliance and the National Fish & Wildlife Foundation (Long Island Sound Futures Fund) in support of its acquisition of the Preserve, as well as several projects to enhance its natural habitat.

The most recent and extensive project involved the restoration of the 12-acre coastal forest, through the removal of invasive plants, and the installation of more than 600 native trees and shrubs. WLT will be dedicating the next several years to the maintenance of the restoration site and will be seeking summer interns to assist.

Ban on Plastic Bags Starting in March 2020, the state will ban most stores from giving customers single use plastic bags. Counties can also add, at local option, a 5 cent fee on paper bags.

Exemptions will exist for takeout food, deli meat, newspapers, garment bags and trash bags sold in bulk. The money raised from the fee will go to the State Environmental Protection Fund.

Elimination of Cash Bail Critics have said that requiring people charged with crimes to pay bail to avoid incarceration while awaiting trial is tantamount to locking up innocent people because they are poor. The legislation passed in response to this includes ending cash bail in most cases, save for violent felonies.

In the same bill, the state also plans to give defendents speedier access to evidence that prosecutors may use against them in court.

Affordable Care Act Fearing the repeal of the so called Obama Care, New York plans to codify its health exchange into law. So even if repealed at the federal level, the New York State of Health Fund will continue to serve 4.7 million residents.

Nagle was raised in southern New Jersey and after high school enrolled at Northwestern University. Graduating in 1966, she moved to New York City and accepted a position at CBS Broadcasting in their Columbia Records division working with musical talents who recorded on their labels.

In this role she had the opportunity to meet many interesting people and truly loved every minute of it.

While at CBS Paige met Art Nagle, who was in graduate school, and they were married in 1970. She then left CBS and was hired by the American Museum of Contemporary Crafts (now the Museum of Arts and Design) where she worked with its founder, the philanthropist Aileen Osbourne Webb, whom she adored.

After their two children, Katie and Chris, were born they moved to Bronxville in 1978. Drawn by the attractive commute and excellent school system, they have hap-

pily lived in the village ever since.

In addition to being a mother and a homemaker, Nagle also studied at The School of Interior Design in Manhattan and started her own residential interior design firm with clients in Westchester and Fairfield counties. As an avid volunteer and active member of the community, she has served with many local charities, civic organizations, and is an especially active parishioner of Christ Church Bronxville.

She has also been an enthusiastic member of the musical therapy ensemble The Song Pipers since shortly after settling here and has served several terms as its president. Established in Bronxville in 1949, The Song Pipers reach out to people in nursing homes, hospitals, senior citizen centers and rehabilitation facilities in lower Westchester bringing live music to the elderly and infirm in an effort to make their days brighter and more fulfilling. Nagle’s passion for singing and love of her community has been an important part of living in Bronxville. She donates her time, talent and treasures where she thinks it might help others and has been rewarded

Together with County Executive George Latimer, the Westchester County Board of Health presented the 2019 Public Health Awards on April 4, recognizing outstanding contributions to public health in Westchester by five people and one organization and celebrating the accomplishments of the public health community.

The county Board of Health awarded the J.R. Tesone Youth Public Health Service Award to Jack Waxman, center, for his creativity in promoting the dangers of vaping to his peers. The board also presented Stephanie Marquesano, right of Waxman, with the Dr. Harold Keltz Distinguished Public Health Service Award for her efforts to raise awareness about co-occurring disorders.

other Westchester families avoid losing a son or daughter to an accidental opioid overdose. She has partnered with students, educators and the county’s Department of Community Mental Health to promote peer awareness and prevention throughout Westchester public schools.”

To highlight her work, White Plains High School students who are peer leaders in the school’s Co-Occurring Disorders Awareness group described their outreach activities as part of this year’s CODA Week celebration, which were developed in collaboration with the harris project, Marquesano’s not-for-profit agency.

The board also awarded the J.R. Tesone Youth Public Health Service Award to Jack Waxman, 18, of Scarsdale, for his creativity in promoting the dangers of vaping to his peers and for his effective and collaborative lobbying for legislation to ban the sale of flavored e-liquids and reduce youth access to tobacco.

“Jack took action on multiple fronts to combat the scourge of vaping on his peers,” Baker said.

“He would not be cowed by big

business or sophisticated marketing. While still in high school, Jack produced a powerful video on the dangers of youth vaping and appeared on Good Morning America to draw national attention to this issue. He also worked diligently behind the scenes to influence public policy by writing to, meeting with and developing relationships with prevention organizations and policy makers to advocate for stricter local, state and federal regulation of vaping products to curb teen vaping.”

The board also recognized four Public Health Honorees: • Dr. Glenn Albright, a clinical psychologist from Bedford who directs the Veterans Equine Therapy program at 13 Hands Equine Rescue in Bedford. Through therapeutic work with horses, Albright helps veterans who experience post-deployment stress, and their families, free of charge.

• Abe Baker-Butler, 17, of Rye Brook, is a leader of Students Against Nicotine, a student-led nonprofit organization, and a peer educator and trainer on preventing teen e-cigarette use. He has advocated for Tobacco 21 legislation

and increased restrictions on vaping-related products at the county and state level.

• Shauna Porteus, of Irvington, is the Community Services Librarian at the Yonkers Public Library, which she has helped grow into a vital resource for advocacy and community support. She applied for and was awarded a grant to pilot a case management program at the library, where patrons are linked to needed services, including housing, jobs, health care and government programs.

WJCS Center Lane is the county’s only LGBTQ+ youth and community education center. It serves young people ages 13 to 21, providing social and recreational activities, support groups, individual counseling, social justice and advocacy, as well as workshops and leadership training.

“Improving public health takes creativity, commitment and collaboration,” Amler said. “We are grateful to all our honorees and to all our non-profit partners for enhancing and supporting the Health Department’s mission of promoting and protecting public health.” (Submitted)

Quiz whiz LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

As a sports junkie, I feel it’s important to recognize greatness regardless of your rooting interests.

Sure I’m a Red Sox fan, but I’ve come to truly appreciate the way truly exceptional players—even Yankees like Aaron Judge—can transcend the game with their singular talents. It’s that mindset that allowed me to be mesmerized by the Michael Jordan of the 1990s, even as he was eviscerating the Knicks teams I loved so much.

On Tuesday night, I realized I was once again witnessing something special. But it wasn’t the play of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikita Kucherov or Mike Trout that had me buzzing; it was the quick buzzer-finger—and wit—of “Jeopardy!” contestant James Holzhauer.

On April 9, Holzhauer shattered the single-day win total record in the 55-year history of the popular TV game show, finishing

with an astounding $110,914, a pretty nice windfall for the Las Vegas-based sports gambler. But it wasn’t just his final score that was noteworthy, it was also the way he played the game.

I’ve been watching “Jeopardy!” religiously since I was a child. The game show was on just about every night as my family and I sat down to dinner, and we would tune in to test our wits in between meatloaf and conversation. I still watch “Jeopardy!” almost every night with dinner, calling out the answers (when I know them) as a sort of reflex.

But watching Holzhauer over the course of his—to date—four wins, I found myself concentrating more on his strategy than in the answers to the questions. Each night, the 34-year-old would build up a big early lead by uncovering the Daily Double and betting everything he had. Seeing him rack up big dollar totals on the difficult questions with machine-like precision became somehow thrilling to me.

And his Final Jeopardy! wagers? Those have been absolute

works of art.

On Tuesday night, Holzhauer’s gamble allowed him to finish with a total that, when read as months, days and years, numerically spelled out the day of his daughter’s birth.

That’s a bonafide superstar move, akin to singles-hitter Wade Boggs crushing 24 home runs in 1987 just because sportswriters were chiding him on his lack of power.

I have no idea how long Holzhauer’s win streak is going to last, but I’d guess it will go on for quite a while. On Tuesday night, he topped his second closest competitor by more than $100,000 and during his reign, not one of his opponents have even come close to beating him. But all good things—even Ken Jennings’ 74day reign as “Jeopardy!” champ in 2004—must come to an end.

But as long as Holzhauer sticks around, I’ll be tuning in.

And unlike the answers on “Jeopardy!,” that’s not even a question.
