as a supplement to curriculum in each of Eastchester’s elementary schools and has been received enthusiastically by students and teachers alike, according to K-12 STEM Supervisor Minnie Iannuzzi.

“We are so proud of our first-grade students who qualified for the statewide First in Math Tournament in Albany,” said Iannuzzi. “Since launching in early March, Eastchester students have correctly solved over 3 million math problems; We have much to be proud of and are looking forward to sending more teams to competition next year.”

Latimer recognizes May as Mental Health Awareness Month

County Executive George Latimer officially launched the month of May as “Mental Health Awareness Month” in Westchester. The annual recognition will appear in digital form outside the Westchester County Center for the month of May, and a banner will also be displayed in the entranceway of the Michaelian Office Building. In addition, a series of other initiatives will be spearheaded by the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health (DCMH). The message of Mental Health Awareness Month is that mental health wellness is for everyone, and there are practical tools that everyone can use to improve mental health.

Latimer said: “It is critical that each year, we declare the month of May as Mental Health Month in Westchester. Promoting good mental health is more relevant today than ever, as there is often a stigma that is attached to mental health needs. We want to take time this May to turn the conversation towards wellness and resilience. I am very proud of all the wonderful work that is being done by our

County departments, our not-for-profits and private clinicians, who offer support and services to the people of Westchester. The ways to receive help are many and varied, and we applaud those who are utilizing these opportunities to improve their mental health and wellness.”

Commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Community Mental Health (DCMH) Michael Orth said: “The mental health of all Westchester County residents is a top priority. We thank County Executive Latimer for declaring May as Mental Health Awareness Month, and promoting educational opportunities and services available here. The pandemic continues to take a toll on everyone’s mental health. Knowing the signs and symptoms and who to link to if you are concerned about yourself or a loved one is an important first step in getting help.”

This year there are several forums planned including the unveiling of the Healing Garden at Ridge Road Park in Hartsdale. The May is Mental Health Awareness Month DCMH Commission-

er’s Forum will be held on May 17 at the White Plains Library, Harm Reduction Virtual Training on May 18 and NAMIWalks Westchester on May 20 at Ridge Road Park in Hartsdale.

This year, in recognition of Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, DCMH together with the Department of Social Services will be hosting: 11th Annual Myra Alfreds Roundtable: Rowing in the same direction: Leveraging Youth and Family Voices for System Transformation on May 23 at the Westchester County Center. Mental Health Awareness Month is a nationwide effort to address and overcome the stigma associated with mental health needs. One in five people will experience some type of mental health illness during their lifetime, but everyone faces challenges in life that can impact their mental health.

The three students, who attend the Waverly School earned the right to compete at the state championships with their strong showings at a First in Math virtual regional event on March 30, and will be the only first-grade students hailing from Westchester County to be selected for the statewide competition.

First In Math is a voluntary, supplemental program that offers elementary schoolers the opportunity to participate in math-based games using a fun—and educational—platform that tracks student progress and rewards youngsters for solving math problems.

To date, Kanwar, Mimatsu and McCarthy have combined to solve nearly 90,000 problems using the First in Math program.

The program is being used

All three Waverly students attended the April 25 Board of Education meeting to receive their regional trophies, and Interim Waverly Principal Dr. Harry Laub announced that the trio’s stellar performance also resulted in a $1,000 prize for the Waverly School, which will be used for math-related support materials.

Dr. Laub believes that as promising as the initial rollout of the platform has been, student use of First in Math will only increase in the future.

“As we learn more about this program and see how motivating it is for our students, our teachers are embracing it more and more,” said Dr. Laub. “I suspect that in the next few years, you will see the program blossom in the district.”

Local cheerleading program climbs its way to the ‘Summit’

Westchester All Stars Cheer, a local cheerleading training facility, is proud to announce that its junior competition team, the Emeralds, have been selected to compete at the nation’s most prestigious cheerleading competition for small gyms, The Summit, D2 Championship.

Held at Walt Disney World Resort’s ESPN Wide World of Sports May 5-7, The D2 Summit, is the season-capping goal for competitive All Star teams. “Teams competing at The D2 Summit must receive a bid at a prior competition to be eligible to participate,” says Brian Elza, co-general manager and vice president of sales for Varsity All Star, the championship organizer. “That’s what makes The D2 Summit so rewarding for the

competitors. If they don’t climb their way to the top throughout their season, they won’t make it to The Summit.”

The 11 Emeralds athletes have been fundraising since February, running popcorn fundraisers, sneaker drives, t-shirt sponsorships, and performing stunts (tips for tricks) outside local restaurants around the county - even in the middle of a snow storm. With just days until D2 Summit, the Emeralds are sharing their GoFundMe page in their last fundraising push before competition.

Please show them your support with a small donation, as they represent Westchester amongst the best teams in the nation. The teams GoFundMe link is: https://gofund. me/793ebb5b.

County Parks receives awards from state

The Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation (WCDPRC) recently received two awards from the New York State Recreation and Park Society (NYSRPS). The awards were tributes to two exhibits at Lasdon Park and Arboretum in Somers.

Lasdon’s Hundred Acre Wood “Forest Friends” exhibit received NYSRPS’s Special Event Award, and its Dinosaur Garden was given its Program of Merit Award.

The Hundred-Acre Wood Exhibit “Forest Friends” ran from April 9 to May 29. It walked viewers through a storybook fantasy that featured the original characters of A.A. Milne and inspired illustrations of E.H. Shepard. Winnie the Pooh and his friends came to life with enchanting visuals that taught children about the importance of our forests and their inhabitants. Interactive signage coordinated with each lesson to give everyone a hands-on sensory experience.

The Dinosaur Garden debuted in 2018 and is one of Lasdon’s most popular permanent exhibits. It takes visitors back hundreds of millions of years and features footprints, plant specimens and life-size

replicas of a tyrannosaurus, velociraptor and brachiosaurus. WCDPRC teamed up with the creators of the smartphone app Zappar, which gives visitors an animated, interactive experience as they roam through the dinosaur forest.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “We are excited to learn that Lasdon Park and Arboretum has been acknowledged by a highly esteemed organization. The fact that it has been acclaimed with not just one, but two awards from the Society is a testament to the hard work and dedication that has gone into making this park and arboretum a true gem for the community. To receive such recognition is truly an honor and a source of great pride for us all.”

Westchester County Parks Commissioner Kathleen O’Connor said, “We are thrilled that we were a recipient in this series of coveted awards that pay tribute to people and organizations for their contributions to parks and recreation in New York State. The Hundred-Acre Wood Exhibit was and the Dinosaur Garden continues to be wonderful learning tools for children.”

The Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation recently received two awards from the New York State Recreation and Park Society.

Borgia resigns from chair position on BOL

According to the Rules of the Board, Vice Chair Nancy Barr will become acting chair for a maximum of 60 days. During this

60-day period, the board will vote to install a new chair for the remainder of the 20222023 legislative term.

Legislator Borgia will remain a member of the 16-member legislative body and continue her duty to the district to which she is duly elected.

Regardless of party affiliation, county legislators worked together to protect board staff, prioritize the board’s important work, and restore integrity for the people of Westchester.

Our last, best hope

ty to be excited about, but we’ve got four months until those games mean anything.

Conditioned by years of mediocrity—and worse—I never thought I’d say it; but thank goodness for the New York Knicks.

It’s something of a surprise to be here, in May, still talking about New York basketball, but here we are, as of press time, with the Knicks tied 1-1 with the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. It’s something that makes even the most devout Knicks fan scratch his head and wonder if this is 1999.

And it couldn’t have come at a better time if you’re a New York sports fan. The Rangers, fresh off a deep playoff run in 2022, sputtered in the first round against the Devils, looking listless and lazy in a seven-game loss end their season. The Mets and the Yankees, though certainly not out of contention, are mired in the near-.500 muck and playing in divisions where they’re just not—at least to this points—matching the stride of the leaders.

If you’re a Jets or Giants fan—particularly if you root for for Gang Green—there’s plen-

Which leaves us with the Knicks, a team that has been downright dreadful for the majority of my adult life. But now, it seems, they will be, for at least a week or so, the lone bright spot for many area sports fans.

I don’t know exactly how this came to happen. Sure, the Knicks were fun during the bubble year, but last year’s disappointing finish—coupled with their inability to land Donovan Mitchell in the offseason—left me and many other fans less-than-bullish on their chances in the 2022-23 season.

But it was the less flashy moves, the adding of a Jalen Brunson, the trading for Josh Hart, that have made the difference. Are the Knicks a true threat to win an NBA Championship as currently constituted? Not a chance. Is their gritty style of play—a superstar-less blueprint built on hauling in rebounds that is particularly sweet for people like me who remember those 90s teams—capable of potentially taking them to an Eastern Conference Finals appearance? I’d say it is.

And honestly, when you’re hurting for a compelling storyline, you could do a lot worse than this Knicks team. New Yorkers are hungry for a winner in the first place,

and this team seems to have the same sort of DNA our city’s hoops fans gravitate to. So for however long this run lasts, we’ll all be onboard, “Bing Bonging” until the cows come home.

And they will, eventually; so let’s just sit back and enjoy the ride.

As strange as it may seem, the Knicks are currently the hottest team in New York City. It’s been a hot minute since that’s been the case in May. Contributed Photo

Eagles continue run, rout Scarsdale B

At Eastchester HS

If anyone was expecting the Eastchester girls flag football team to suffer through growing pains in their first year of existence, they simply weren’t paying attention. On May 1, the Eagles continued their stellar start to their inaugural season, authoring a resounding 37-2 victory over Scarsdale B as they continue to make their mark against Section I competition.

The Raiders threw an early scare into the Eagles on Monday, marching down the field on their opening possession, pinning Eastchester deep in its own zone and coming away with a sack for a safety in the opening five minutes.

Those would be the only points on the day for Scarsdale, however, as Eastchester rattled off 28 straight points to roll to their seventh win of the season, their fifth straight

victory since they suffered a 19-13 defeat at the hands of last year’s section champ Lakeland on April 14.

Carlie Brien, who led the Eagles with two touchdowns on Monday afternoon, said that Eastchester came into the season knowing that they had more than enough talent to compete with some of the section’s more established teams.“

We knew we had skill, we had a lot of athletes on the team who play other sports,” said Brien. “Our coaches have done a great job getting us ready with the playbook and we’re just working hard.”

Eastchester head coach Vito DeBellis agreed with Brien’s take, noting how quickly Eastchester’s players have adapted to the schemes in their first year of flag

football competition. DeBellis points to the fact that the Eagles’ roster is populated with multi-sport athletes who know what it takes to shine on the varsity stage.

“We have a lot of girls who play other sports at a high level, girls who are going to play soccer or compete in cheerleading in college,” said DeBellis. “So they are used to competing, they’re tough,

and I think that’s why we’re one of the best teams in the section.”

Indeed, the Eagles’ record bears this out. At 7-1, Eastchester sits atop the Division I standings, holding a slight advantage over Scarsdale A (6-1-2) and Mahopac (5-2-2). The team has already earned a shutout win over Mahopac, but will look to close out the regular season on a

high note, with some tough games—including a May 13 tilt against Scarsdale A—on the schedule.

“We’re just going to keep on doing what we’ve been doing,” said DeBellis. “We’ll study tape, learn for our mistakes, and continue to get better each day.”
