Applications increase under state’s Red Flag Law Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Friday a major increase in applications for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs) under New York’s Red Flag Law—with substantially more ERPOs filed in the last three months than in all of 2021. The increase comes after Governor Hochul took decisive action in the wake of the mass shooting in Buffalo, issuing an executive order requiring state police to expand their use of the Red Flag Law and working with the state Legislature to pass a new law requiring all law enforcement agencies in New York to increase the use of these potentially life-saving orders. Hochul made the announcement in Suffolk County where the county Sheriff’s Office is reporting a more than 75% increase in utili zation of the Red Flag Law over the last three months. “My top priority as governor is to keep New Yorkers safe,” Hochul said. “In the wake of the horrific shooting in my home town of Buffalo, we took quick and decisive action to get illegal guns off our streets and away from individuals who would use them to harm themselves or others. Now, we see our efforts are working, thanks to the heroic efforts of our partners in law enforcement who are on the front lines in the fight to protect public safety and end the scourge of gun violence.” On May 18, four days after the Buffalo shooting, Hochul issued an executive order directing the state police to apply for an ERPO when there is probable cause that someone posed a danger to themselves or others. On July 6, a new state law signed by the governor took effect, expanding that order to all law enforcement agencies and district attorneys. The law also added to the list of those who can file orders.

• Remove discarded tires.

The Westchester County Health Department learned Friday that this season’s first batch of mos quitoes carrying West Nile Virus in Westchester was identified in Rye. The area surrounding the positive mosquito batches is being inspected by the Health Department, and catch basins that need it are being treated to protect against further mosquito breedingWestchesternearby.County Executive George Latimer recommended resi dents follow the Health Department’s West Nile Virus prevention advice to avoid mosquito bites. “We can keep mosquitoes from breeding and biting us in our own backyards if we pour out standing water after it rains and remove or turn over wheelbarrows, flower pot drip trays and any toy pails or watering cans,” Latimer said. To date, this is the first positive out of 101 batches of mosquitoes collected in Westchester that were tested for West Nile Virus by the state Department of Health. It was collected on July 26. Last year, the first positive batch in Westchester was collected in Westchester on July 13.“To protect yourself and your fam ily when you spend time outdoors, use repellents, especially from dawn to dusk, when mosquitoes are most active,” said county Health Commis sioner Dr. SherlitaAmler. The Health Department prepared for the mosquito season by educat ing the public through news releases, flyers, social media and our website, where a report on mosquito control and surveillance can be found on the West Nile Virus page. The Health Department also gave 250 pounds of free fathead minnows to residents with ponds to reduce the mosquito population. The minnows reduce the mosquito population by feeding on larvae and pupae before they emerge into adult Throughoutmosquitoes.theseason, the Department also traps and tests mosquitoes to track the presence of mosquito-borne viruses in the county.

Last year, West Nile Virus was iden tified in four local mosquito batches out of 153 submitted for testing and three people were diagnosed with theWestvirus.Nile Virus infection most often causes a mild or moderate flulike illness, but can be more serious particularly for people 60 and older, and those with other health compli cations.Toreduce the chances for mos quitoes to breed and bite around your home, follow these tips: -Avoid the outdoors in the late afternoon and early evening when mosquitoes are active and feeding; use insect repellents when outdoors during these times and follow the label instructions.
• Chlorinate swimming pools, out door spas and hot tubs until properly winterized or drained for the season. Also, if not chlorinated, drain any water that collects on their covers. Residents who notice large areas of standing water on public property should report them to the county Department of Health at 813-5000.
Mosquitoes with West Nile found in Westchester
The Westchester County Health Department learned Friday that this season’s first batch of mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus in Westchester was identified in Rye.
• To protect infants over two months of age, adults can apply insect repellents with up to 30% DEET to their own hands and then rub it onto their children. Products containing DEET are not recom mended for use on children under two months of age.
• Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts and socks when outdoors, especially in areas where mosquitoes are active and feeding.
• Discard or turn over cans, plastic containers and ceramic pots outside your home to avoid accumulating water.•Remove standing water from outdoor toys and play houses.
• Drill holes in the bottoms of all recycling containers that are left outdoors.•Turnover plastic wading pools, buckets and wheelbarrows when not in use.•Change the water in birdbaths at least twice weekly.

Many communities in Westchester County have a long history of dealing with the serious impacts of flooding after large storms—flood ing which may result in serious property damage or loss of life. Due to climate change, these storms are becoming more frequent and devastating. Oftentimes, prospective tenants in flood prone areas are left in the dark when it comes to the propensity of the flooding of the property they are renting or looking to rent. To combat this, Westches ter County has adopted legislation which requires those looking to rent property to provide a Flood History Form to any and all prospective tenants. This new law went into effect Monday, Aug. 15. “This is a simple form which can save tenants a complex headache,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer. “As the cliché goes, knowledge is power. Providing greater information to prospective tenants can help them protect their property, and lives, when the forecast calls for a major storm.”Westchester County has often experi enced major flooding, most recently due to the remnants of Hurricane Ida, which caused massive property damage and, sadly, loss of life in some cases. All properties are subject to flooding. The Flood Insurance Rates pre pared by FEMA show the relative risk associ ated with different areas of a community, from areas of low risk to areas identified as Special Flood Hazard Areas, commonly referred to as the 100-year floodplain. However, about 40% of all flood insurance claims come from areas outside of those Special Flood Hazard Areas.

Westchester Flood Disclosure Law takes effect
Renters are often overlooked when discuss ing the impacts from flooding. A landlord’s property insurance will not cover a renter’s personal belongings, and many renters often don’t have insurance for their belongings. Renters may also may have health issues that require electric-powered medical equipment or may have mobility issues making it difficult to relocate quick ly during an emergency or to relocate in the event the property they are renting is damaged. The county Board of Legislators proposed and Latimer signed this Local Law (Chapter 581) to help inform and protect renters about potential impacts from flood damage and what they can do to protect themselves.Theform, along with a copy of the Law and some brochures from FEMA will be avail able on the County Department of Planning’s website at https://planning.westchestergov. com/flood.“OurDepartment is here to serve the peo ple of Westchester and this new law gives us another tool to do so,” said Planning Commissioner Norma Drummond. “Flood ing can have a major impact on the life and well-being of a tenant, and equipping them with the understanding of what could happen can help residents better plan for emergencies.”Ifanyonehas any questions about the form or the law, they are encouraged to reach out to the county Department of Planning at 995-4400.

- In a study of nearly 1,000 middle-aged commu nity-dwelling adults (55% Latinx; 23% Black; 19% white), exposure to interpersonal and institutional racism was associated with lower memory scores, and these associations were driven by Black individuals. Experiences of structural racism were associated with lower episodic memory among all racial and ethnic groups that were included in the study.
Multilevel racism associated with lower memory scores Research suggests interpersonal and structural rac ism are contributors to racial and ethnic disparities in cognitive aging. However, there’s little understanding of how multilevel racism influences cognition through out the life course. To address this gap in knowledge, Dominika Šeblová, Ph.D., postdoctoral researcher in the Gertrude H. Sergievsky Center at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, in collaboration with an interdisciplinary team of researchers with exper
- Group 1 reported workplace discrimination (i.e., unfairly fired, not hired, not given a promotion) and was comprised of mostly White men.
The various types and experiences of structural racism and discrimination contribute to systemic inequities, including: lower socioeconomic status; lower quality early life education; and less access to healthy food and proper health care. Individually and cumulatively, these factors impact brain health over the lifecourse in Black/African American, Hispanic/Latino and other “Thesecommunities.systemicdisparities are related to less access to important health-protecting resources such as high-quality care and social networks that provide valuable health information and support,” said Rev. Dr. MiriamJ.Burnett, medical director, African Methodist Episcopal Church International Health Commission. “The consistent and pervasive lack of resources, as well as social and environmental factors, lead to disparities in other health outcomes such as cardiovas cular disease and diabetes, which increase the risk for Alzheimer’s and other dementias,” said Adriana Perez, Ph.D., assistant professor of nursing at University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and member of the National Association of Hispanic Nurses.
- Group 2 reported little to no discrimination over their lifetime and consisted of White women and Asian, Black and Latino older adults.
Poorer cognition among oldest old is linked to experiences of discrimination Discrimination is a fundamental cause of health inequities. However, it is unknown whether discrimina tion contributes to disparities in cognitive aging among the oldest old, a group sometimes referred to as super agers. To answer this question, Kristen George, Ph.D., assistant professor of epidemiology in the Department of Public Health Sciences at University of California, Davis and colleagues, examined the relationship of lifetime experiences of major discrimination with cognitive function and decline among a diverse cohort of Asian, Black, White, Latino and multiracial partici pants of the Life After 90 (LA90) Study. Among 468 participants (20.5% Asian; 21.8% Black; 14.5% Latino; 35.7% White; 7.5% multiracial), the average age at enrollment was 93. Participants completed three cognitive assessments over an average of 1.2 years. Participants reported experiences of major lifetime discrimination via questionnaire and were grouped based on their responses.
- Group 3 reported experiencing discrimination across several domains (workplace, financial, housing, etc.) and all participants of this group were non-White.
Racism associated with poor memory, increased cognitive decline tise in health equity, assessed experiences of interpersonal, institutional and structural racism among 942 middle-aged adults (mean age=55; 64% women; 55% Latinx; 23% non-Latinx Black; 19% non-Latinx white). Black participants were most exposed to racism at all levels. They were more likely to grow up and live in segregated areas that are known to be resource-deprived due to institu tional disinvestment in Black neighborhoods. Black participants experienced on average six civil rights violations in their lifetime and were exposed to interpersonal discrimination at least once per week. These exposures were associated with lower memory scores, and the magnitude of the association corresponded to 1-3 years of chronological age. Structural racism was associated with lower episodic memory in the full sample. “Chronic exposure to racism and inter personal discrimination among marginalized communities leads to stress that affects the body and influences physiological health, and likely contributes to the development of cognitive decline,” said Jennifer Manly, Ph.D., professor of neuropsychology at Co lumbia University Irving Medical Center and the senior author of this work. “Overall, our findings indicate that racism impacts brain health and contributes to the unfair burden of Alzheimer’s disease in marginalized groups.”
The researchers found that participants in Group 1 (workplace discrimination) had higher levels of baseline cognition in domains of executive function and semantic memory compared to Group 2 (no discrimination). Group 3 (wide-ranging discrimination) had worse semantic memory at baseline compared to Group 2. Across the groups, there were no differences in cognitive decline over time.
“These findings highlight that among the oldest old, inequities in cognitive function persist after accounting for experiences of major lifetime discrimi nation,” said George. “Despite the incredible longevity of this group, discrimination has an indelible impact on cognitive health, and oldest old adults still stand to benefit from efforts to eliminate and redress health disparities.”
Experiences of structural, interpersonal and institutional racism are associated with lower memory scores and worse cognition in midlife and old age, especially among Black individuals, according to studies reported today at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference® 2022 in San Diego and virtually.
Experiences of structural, interpersonal and institu tional racism are associated with lower memory scores and worse cognition in midlife and old age, especially among Black individuals, according to studies reported today at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference® 2022 in San Diego and virtually. Among the key findings reported at AAIC 2022 are:
- In a study of 445 Asian, Black, Latino, white and multiracial people age 90 and above, individuals who experienced wide-ranging discrimination throughout life had lower semantic memory in late life compared to those who experienced little to no discrimination. “In order to achieve health equity—as a step toward complete inclusion—individuals and society must identify and reduce racism and other forms of discrimination,” said Carl V. Hill, Ph.D., chief diver sity, equity and inclusion officer at the Alzheimer’s Association. “We must create a society in which the underserved, disproportionately affected and underrep resented are safe, cared for and valued.” According to the Alzheimer’s Association 2022 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, Blacks are about twice as likely and Hispanic/Latinos are about one and one-half times as likely to have Alzhei mer’s or other dementias.

The 353 fatal crashes last year resulted in 389 deaths including drivers, bicyclists and pedestri ans.During last year’s Speed Awareness Week, law enforcement throughout the state issued 23,087 tickets for speeding and 32,170 tickets for other vehicle and traffic law violations, such as impaired and distract ed driving.
Throughout the enforcement campaign, a “Speed Catches Up With You” public service announcement will be airing on broadcast and cable networks statewide, highlighting the penalty for speeding. Addi tionally, the State Department of Transporta tion will have Variable Message Signs alert ing motorists to the dangers of speeding. Data shows fatal crashes in New York caused by unsafe speed increase during the summer months with the highest totals in June through October. According to the Na tional Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, speed was a contributing factor in 29% of all traffic fatalities nationally in 2020.

Graphic Designer Design2pro Nicolás De Jesús is a storyteller. His tales are portrayed through intricate etch ings, paintings on bark paper, monumental colorful paintings, and large banners that once billowed above the streets of his home community in Mexico. Elaborate de tails of bucolic everyday life in rural villages are interwoven with scenes from urban barrios in places like Chicago, Paris, and Jakarta.Hisvivid depictions of people joyfully dancing, eating, fishing, making music, or harvesting, recall the work of Renaissance masters. While his whimsical and satirical skeleton- characters echo the annual Day of the Dead calavera traditions, his underlying themes are pulled from the headlines of world events and global politics. On Sept. 7, the Neuberger Museum of Art at Purchase College, SUNY opens its doors to Nicolás De Jesús: A Mexican Artist for Global Justice, a retrospective solo exhibition featuring more than three decades of the artist’s work. Curated by Patrice Giasson, the Neuberger Museum’s Alex Gordon Curator of Art of the Americas, with the assistance of curatorial intern Alexandra Hunter, the exhibition is an amalgamation of iconic graphic works alongside easel paint ings and powerful political street banners. Throughout the galleries are works from a recent series of monumental American paint ings addressing the disasters of COVID 19, the repression faced by migrants and African Americans, and the storming of the US“DeCapitol.Jesús raises questions that surpass the boundaries of his home country and draw attention to pain and disorder being experienced throughout the world,” says Giasson. “His messages are empathetic and powerful. His work is incredibly detailed. He challenges the conventional definitions of contemporary art.”

Binderhoops Showcase shines light on area hoopers
For the last 32 years, Steven Binder has hosted a basketball showcase to help aspiring collegiate basketball players navigate the recruiting landscape. The next Binderhoops Showcase event will take place on Sept. 11 at Purchase College. Contributed Photo
“It doesn’t matter if you’re trying to play at the University of Connecticut, Kentucky, Purchase College or Bentley College; at the end of the day, coaches are going to take three or four kids a year,” said Binder. “And yes, that’s based on your ability and the way you play, but it also comes down to college coaches recruiting kids that they are comfortable with.”
At its core, Binder’s philosophy is a simple one; get high school players on a court in front of college coaches, teach them the interpersonal skills that will help them in the world beyond basket ball and help them forge connections that will allow them to make informed decisions about their futures. “There’s no shortage of portals out there, but nothing replaces coaches seeing players play,” explained Binder. “The feedback I’ve gotten from college coaches is that they want to be on the road, in those gyms, getting a sense of [players’] attitudes and some of that you can’t just get any other way.” The showcase event, which will run from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., includes continuous games and a recruiting semi nar that Binder says isn’t only applica ble to the recruiting process. “I take them through the nuances of marketing themselves to college coach es, sending follow-up emails, building those relationships,” he explained. “We talk about what you do after that day, how to comport yourself; basically life skills is what I’m teaching.”
A little civility, please

As fans, athletes and coaches gear up for another another fall season, the excitement is palpable. Players are no doubt anxious to get back on the field and test their mettle against opposing schools, while the rest of our communities are looking forward to getting the chance to cheer on the competitors donning our school’s colors. But while I’m always glad to see folks’ enthusiasm for high school ath letics, I do have to issue some words of warning to our parents and fans; let’s go easy on the officials this year, OK? As a sports reporter, I take in a lot of games every year. And for the most part, these experiences are pleasant ones no matter how compelling the on-field narrative might be. In my estimation, any game—regardless of the score—can be an enjoyable one as long two teams are out there giving it their all in service of the sport. When this job ceases to be fun for me, however, is when parents and fans forget the true purpose of sports and really start piling on the referees and umpires. Don’t get me wrong; instances of officials being verbally abused by fans are by no means an everyday occurrence. The vast majority of games I cover go without any sort of interruption from obnox ious spectators. But when you do get a particularly vocal crowd, boy does it get uncomfortable in a hurry. Last spring, I was covering a varsity lacrosse game between two highly ranked teams—ones that shall remain nameless for obviously reasons. Regular season varsity lacrosse games feature two onfield referees and, in this instance, one official was clearly out of his depth. The official in question—an older gentle man—was simply unable to keep up with the blistering pace-of-play, finding himself badly out of position in several instances and often making questionable calls that would force his partner into the unenviable position of overturning those head-scratchers.Hehadapretty rough game out there, all told, made no easier by the fact that everyone at the field—from the players to the fans to the coaches—derided him at every turn. It became embarrassing to watch after a while as you could this particular official shrink within himself, visibly willing the clock to tick down fast er so he could simply escape the situation. Now, should this guy have been on the field in a game between two solid varsity teams in the first place? Probably not. But the sad truth is that, because of how much abuse is heaped on these officials, it’s getting harder and harder to find referees who are willing to spend two hours as a target for some truly disgusting behavior. It happens across all age levels too; from Little League to high school sports to adult recreation leagues, the idea of “acceptable” behavior by fans has been pushed to an untenable breaking point. Spectators and coaches feel somehow entitled to lambast referees, so it’s no surprise a growing number of officials are deciding that putting on the whistle simply isn’t worth it. This year, however, I’d like to see us do better. I’d like to see fans take it upon themselves to show a little more restraint. I’d like to see coaches setting a better example for their players, and I’d like to see school administrators more willing to remove unruly fans—particularly the adult ones—from the premises as soon as their behavior crosses a line. The only way we’re going to end this epidemic is through vigilance and empathy. And for those fans who simply don’t believe they will be able to control themselves for four quarters of a sporting event without acting like a complete jerk? Just stay home. I’m sure you can find a ton of things to scream about on Twitter. Follow Mike on @LiveMike_SportsTwitter
The Binderhoops Showcase, which has sold out in each of its first 32 years, offers some players financial aid to attend, something that Binder said is in line with his belief that events such as this should ultimately be about building better outcomes for student-athletes.
THE REVIEW • July 22, 2022 • 15
“Most of the kids who come, even if they are being recruited, haven’t quite figured it out yet,” said Binder. “I do this to help those kids, helping them maybe get that one extra look and bring ing the mountain to them.”
For high school student-athletes, the college recruiting landscape can be a daunting one to navigate. Between the explosion of travel programs and recruiting apps created to expand the scope and visibility of aspiring collegiate athletes, a glut of information has perhaps made the recruiting process more opaque than ever, at least according to Rye resident Steven Binder. In Binder’s mind, there’s simply no substitute for faceto-face encounters in terms of build ing personal relationships that might eventually lead to college offers. And it’s that philosophy that has been the driving force behind the Binderhoops Premier Basketball Showcase for the last three decades. On Sunday, Sept. 11, 100 basketball players from across the Tri-State area will take the court at Purchase College to participate in the 33rd annual Binder hoops Showcase in front of more than 75 college coaches from Division I, II, III and NAIA programs. Binder, a former standout at Scarsdale High School and later Curry College, said has used his knowledge of the recruiting process and his ties to the national basketball community to offer a service that he believes is invaluable to collegiate basketball hopefuls.

Tyrone Carver—who has helmed the team in each of its last four trips to Johnson City—said that it was apparent from the very first practice that this team possessed both the ability and the maturity to handle the grueling six game tournament.“Theplayers came in the the right mindset, putting their egos aside and doing what was best for the team,” said Carver. “We had four practices and by the time we were done, I was very confident that we had a sys tem in place and comfort able in our ability to execute that style of play.” The team rumbled through the opening round, beating Southern Tier 73-66 in the tournament opener on Aug. 5 before turning on the jets in their three Saturday games. On Saturday, the Hudson Valley team topped Buffalo (84-41), Rochester (76-57) and Mid Hudson (83-67) to advance to the semifinal round game against Central on Sunday morning.Thatsemifinal round game against the undefeat ed Central was the Hudson Valley’s toughest test, but one that they passed with flying colors, beating Central 85-71 behind 23 points from Mount Vernon standouts Dylan Colon and Elijah Morris and 21 points from Mamaroneck’s Aidan Roy.“It was weird that the

And it was great to be able to share this with one of my players in Aidan.”
