Eastchester lawyer arraigned on child porn charges Westchester County District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah announced that Eastchester resident Androsky Lugo has been arraigned for promoting and possessing child pornography and unlawful surveillance of a minor. Lugo, 51, was charged on Aug. 27, 2021, in Eastchester Town Court with Promoting an Obscene Sexual Performance by a Child, Possessing an Obscene Sexual Performance by a Child, and Unlawful Surveillance in the second degree, all felonies. The
Westchester County District Attorney’s office’s High Technology Crime Squad made the arrest, with assistance from the Eastchester Police Department. On dates in 2019 and 2020, Lugo, an attorney, obtained images of nude children who were approximately 3-10 years old on Microsoft Bing. He also possessed an image of a nude child who was approximately 8-10 years old and took lewd photographs of an approximately 12-year-old child that captured
the child’s genital area underneath the child’s clothing. Certain images possessed by Lugo included those of non-relative children taken at the defendant’s Eastchester home. “The conduct alleged against Mr. Lugo is very disturbing and we will continue to do everything we can to protect minors from adults who seek to manipulate or exploit them or put them in harm’s way,” Rocah said. “Our investigation is ongoing and any individuals who may have rel-
evant information concerning Androsky Lugo or any potential victims are ask to contact our office.” Lugo was scheduled to appear again in Eastchester Town Court on Sept. 15. The case is being prosecuted by the Trials and Investigations Division Cybercrime Bureau. If anyone has been a victim or has further information on this case, please contact the District Attorney’s Office at 914-955TIPS. (Submitted)
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Monday, Sept. 27, a robust implementation of booster doses into the state’s COVID-19 vaccination program, ensuring an efficient, equitable, and effective distribution of booster doses to eligible New Yorkers statewide. “Our top priority remains staying ahead of this constantly changing virus and protecting New Yorkers with effective, long-lasting vaccines,” said Hochul. “As we’ve heard from our federal and State medical and health experts, as with many other vaccines, the protection from the COVID-19 vaccine can wane over time. A booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine will help particularly at-risk New Yorkers stay protected from the virus for longer. While the focus of our vaccination effort remains ensuring all unvaccinated New Yorkers get vaccinated, those who are booster eligible should waste no time receiving maximum protection from COVID-19 as soon as possible.” In a letter to the state health commissioner, the New York State Clinical Advisory Task Force endorsed CDC’s statement issued Friday, Sept. 24 by Director Rochelle Walensky—providing New York with a new boost in the fight against COVID-19. In accordance with CDC›s recommendations, there are four groups of New Yorkers who are now eligible for their COVID-19 booster dose: New Yorkers who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine should receive their booster dose at least six months after their primary vaccine series if: • They are 65 years and older or residents in long-term care settings. • They are 50 -64 years of age with underlying medical conditions. New Yorkers who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vac-
cine may receive their COVID-19 booster dose at least six months after their primary vaccine series if: They are 18-49 years with underlying medical conditions, based on your individual benefits and risks. They are 18-64 years and are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of your occupational or institutional setting, based on your individual benefits and risks. At this time, individuals must have received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for their initial vaccine series at least six months ago to be eligible. Individuals who received the Moderna or Janssen/ Johnson & Johnson, J&J, vaccine are not currently eligible for a booster dose at this time, but may be in the near future. “The COVID-19 vaccines continue to be remarkably effective at preventing severe cases and hospitalization,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Howard Zucker. “After reviewing data from New York State, across the United States and around the world, our federal and State health experts including New York State’s Clinical Advisory Committee agree: more vulnerable New Yorkers can keep their protection up by getting a booster dose at least six months after they complete their initial Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine series. Eligible New Yorkers should receive their booster dose or consult with their primary health care provider if they have questions. There are many vaccines that require more than one or two doses for lasting protecting, including the tetanus, measles-mumps-rubella, and Hepatitis A and B shots.” The state has been actively planning for the development of booster doses, and because of this preparedness, free booster doses are already widely available HOCHUL continued on page 4

County parks to add water bottle refill stations You’ve probably seen water bottle filling stations at gyms, schools, airports, national parks and elsewhere. Now, you’re
about to see them at Westchester County parks, thanks to a new measure passed by the county Board of Legislators.
On Monday, Sept. 22, the board passed a $750,000 plan for the Parks Department to begin replacing old water foun-
tains at county parks with modern refill stations. County Legislator Ruth Walter, who first proposed the program, hailed the unanimous vote. “I’m so excited that we are
finally getting this project underway, and I want to thank my colleagues for their support,” said Walter, who chairs the board’s Environment & Health Committee. “Single-use plastic bottles are one of the most

common things that pollute waterways and pile up in landfills. Anything we can do to reduce that is a huge plus. That means recycling of course, but also using refillable water bottles. Plus, if you’re out at a park for a ball game, or a bike ride, or hike, you want to be able to take water with you, even if you’re not always right next to a water fountain. Being able to easily and quickly fill up your reusable water will be a really nice benefit for park-goers.” Another benefit of the new fast-fill stations is that they will be freeze-resistant and can operate year round, where many older, existing fountains have to be shut off in cooler weather. Parks Department leadership told county lawmakers that the Department has taken inventory of all the drinking fountains in county parks and will use the newly allocated $750,000 to replace as many as possible with the new fast-fill stations. The Department also will look to include in future capital projects the addition of water lines where feasible to add fast fill stations where water fountains may not exist at all today. (Submitted)

The Westchester County Police Special Response Team (SRT) recently took home some top honors following the National Tactical Officers Association’s Physical Fitness Qualification Test. After putting 370 tactical teams from across the nation through its paces, the NTOA reported that Westchester County Police Officer Jason Payne had achieved the highest individual score in the nation in 2021. As a unit, SRT achieved the third highest score of any tactical team on the association’s rigorous fitness test. “I commend Officer Payne and the entire Special Response Team for their outstanding accomplishment,” County Executive George Latimer said. “This achievement is another testament to SRT’s commitment to excellence and to meeting the highest professional standards for a special weapons and tactics team.” Police Officer Payne joined the county police in July 2016 after several years of prior law enforcement experience. He is currently assigned to the Westchester County Police Academy, where he is an instructor in defensive tactics, physical fitness and other topics. He was recently selected to begin training to become a member of the Hazardous Devices Unit, known more informally as the Bomb Squad.
“We call upon SRT to handle some of the most high-risk incidents that occur in Westchester, from leading raids on locations where illegal narcotics are being sold to executing arrest warrants of armed and dangerous criminals,” Commissioner Thomas A. Gleason. “It is work that requires a wide range of tactical skills and abilities. The great results on the fitness test verifies that SRT members are prepared for the physical challenges that come with serving on an elite tactical team.” The county Special Response Team is a group of highly trained, specially equipped police officers who are deployed for tactical operations that involve armed-active violence situations, high-risk warrant service, dignitary protection and escorts, hostage rescue situations, armed barricaded subjects and other incidents requiring specialized weapons, tactics or equipment. As with all services offered by the county police, the SRT is available to assist and support all law enforcement agencies in Westchester County. In addition to Officer Payne, the members of the Special Response Team who participated in the fitness qualification test are: Capt. James Luciano, Lt. Paul Cusano, Lt. Vincent Antonecchia, Sgt. Michael DeMaio, Sgt. Jeffrey Slotoroff, Sgt. David Minet,
Sgt. Michael Ritell, Det. Anthony DelPriore, Det. Marc Moskalik, officer Paul Cianelli (now retired from WCPD), Det. Jonathan Gould, Det. Scott McMahon, officer Toby Ricozzi, officer Fabian Yearwood, officer Evan Murtaugh, officer Brian Tierney, officer Michael Huffman, officer Paul DeSousa, officer Daniel Dumser and officer David Byrnes. The NTOA’s Physical Fitness Qualification Test requires an 800-meter run, a 400-meter run, burpees, squats and pull-ups. Only a three-minute recovery period is allowed between each event. Participants are scored based on their completion time or successful number of repetitions within a prescribed time limit. Officer Payne achieved the highest score of any individual participant, and the team score was the result of the cumulative performance of all SRT members. SRT has a long-standing record of accomplishment and success. In 2013, it became the first SWAT unit in New York to be certified by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. The certification was granted after the SRT demonstrated that it was in compliance with numerous critical standards that cover team capabilities and operations, training, equipment and administration.

statewide at state-run mass vaccination sites, pharmacies, local health departments, clinics, Federally Qualified Health Centers, and other locations across New York State. Additionally, Hochul recently announced $65 million in funding to county health departments to build the infrastructure needed to support the quick and reliable distribution of booster doses. The governor also authorized EMTs to administer the COVID-19 vaccine, immediately adding more than 2,000 fully trained vaccinators into the state’s program. An additional 50,000 basic EMTs will be able to receive the required training in order to help administer the COVID-19 vaccine and booster doses. The state also reminds New Yorkers to receive all seasonal vaccines during this time— including flu vaccines. The COVID-19 vaccine and/or a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine can be received at the

All New York State mass vaccination sites are now open to booster-eligible New Yorkers. To schedule an appointment at a state-run mass vaccination site, New Yorkers can visit the Am I Eligible page or call 1-833-NYS-
4-VAX. People may also contact their local health department, pharmacy, or doctor to schedule appointments where vaccines are available. New Yorkers can also visit vaccines.gov, text their ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800232-0233 to find locations near them. New Yorkers should make sure nearby providers are administering booster doses when scheduling their appointments. (Submitted)

Latimer gets flu shot at county health clinic Westchester County Executive George Latimer rolled up his sleeve and got a flu shot at the Westchester County Department of Health clinic in White Plains. “Schedule your flu shot today, don’t wait. The flu can be miserable and it should be taken seriously,” Latimer said. “This vaccine will help keep you and your family healthy well into 2022.” Flu shots are available for a fee from many area pharmacists and medical offices. The county Health Department is on track to provide up to 2,000 flu vaccines this fall, mostly to County employees. A public flu clinic will be announced at a later date. “Everyone six months and older should get an annual flu shot,”
Dr. Sherlita Amler, county health commissioner. “Flu can make otherwise healthy adults and children very ill and it can be deadly. The sooner you get vaccinated, the better. Flu symptoms can be confused with COVID-19, so your flu shot can help your doctor treat you if you do become sick. Vaccines for flu and COVID-19 offer the best protection we have to fight these diseases. And you also help your community by protecting people around you who are more vulnerable to flu complications, such as infants too young to be vaccinated, seniors and people with chronic health conditions.” Flu activity is usually highest between December and February, but can last into May. One flu
vaccine now provides protection all season long and can prevent illness or reduce the severity of flu symptoms. The vaccine becomes fully effective after about two weeks. Amler said that anyone who does get a respiratory infection should consider COVID/influenza testing. To avoid spreading germs to others, it is recommended that residents wear a mask; cough or sneeze into their elbow; wash their hands frequently with soap and water; stay home until 24 hours after their fever subsides to avoid spreading germs; clean surfaces they touch frequently, such as doorknobs, water faucets, refrigerator handles and telephones; and get plenty of rest.

SAFER AT WORK Movement fights for lower nurse-topatient ratios
A group of nurses called The Last Pizza Party is working to make safe nurse-to-patient ratios a national law and help nurses unionize throughout the United States. This grassroots movement became a nationwide campaign and has reached like-minded nurses in other countries including Australia, England and Canada. In March leaders of the phenomenon created a TikTok nurse takeover in which they enlisted the help of several nurse creators to spread the message about what nurses can do if faced with unsafe patient assignments, and other measures to take to protect their patients and licenses. Speaking out against the status quo comes at a cost, said Nurse Erica, founder of the nurse advocacy group, which can be found across social media and online at thelastpizzapartymovement.org. “We are risking our careers and livelihoods by speaking out about what really goes on behind the scenes. We are afraid to use our full names publicly because there is real risk associated with that,” said Erica, who specializes in pediatrics and hospice and palliative care and currently works in nursing management. “Nurses are very concerned with staffing levels because they are concerned about patient safety,” said Deborah Burger, a registered nurse and a president of National Nurses United, United States’ largest union and professional associa-
tion of registered nurses. Nurse-to-patient ratios vary and are dependent upon the type of nursing unit, Nurse Erica said. If nurses are given more patients than they can safely handle it leads to missed opportunities to intervene, which negatively affects patient outcomes, Burger said. A new nationwide survey from National Nurses United of more than 9,200 registered nurses reveals that a year into the pandemic, registered nurses are still being placed in harm’s way. Short staffing is the biggest safety concern, and 81% of nurses report they are forced to reuse single-use PPE. Just more than half (54%) of registered nurses overall and over half (61%) of registered nurses in hospitals report that they have ever been tested for COVID-19. Nurses are taking a stand. As recently as March 26 health care workers at Methodist Hospital of Southern California took part in a picket and car caravan to highlight patient safety concerns including short-staffing and poor infection control throughout the pandemic. The most expansive labor law legislation since 1935, the Pro Act has passed the House of Representatives and if approved by the Senate would make vast, union-friendly changes to the National Labor Relations Act. “It would essentially do away with ‘right to work’ laws in the 27 states that have them,” Erica
said. “Most importantly it would make it exponentially easier for workers — all workers, not just nurses — to unionize.” The Pro Act is not only good for nurses; it’s good for patients, Burger said. Unionization protects nurses when speaking out or raising the alarm about unsafe practices and gives nurses other valuable protections. The Pro Act would put in place a process to deal with quality issues “so patents get not only the care they deserve but that they are paying for,” Burger said. The issues many nurses are fighting for, such as safe staffing ratios and access to PPE, isn’t shocking if it’s understood how health care is set up as a for-profit system, said Burger, who along with National Nurses United supports the Medicare for All Act of 2021. “Hospitals are withholding supplies because it saves money. Nurses are facing moral distress of dealing with all this while we are being told we are heroes. It’s an exercise in cognitive dissonance,” Burger said. Now is the time for change, Erica said. “Nurses need to educate themselves about the benefits of nursing unions and begin demanding safe working conditions. They should be pressuring their legislators to pass federally mandated nurse-topatient staffing reform. They should be documenting every incident of unsafe staffing and reporting it,” she said.

g n i k o o c s ’ t a Wh Hot off the grill
Turn your barbecue into a pizza oven Grilled pizza does not immediately sound like the highest use of a grill or a pizza. You’d think the bottom of the crust would burn into a blackened crisp, while blocking the coals from melting the cheese on top. But that notion didn’t seem to dawn on Johanne Killeen and George Germon, two art students from Providence, Rhode Island, who met while working for Dewey Dufresne, a young chef with a big future of his own. When Dufresne’s restaurant closed, he went to New York and they opened Al Forno in Providence, in 1980. Al Forno means “from the oven,” an unlikely name for the birthplace of the world’s first non-baked pizza. But the restaurant space came with a grill, and they wanted to use it. The extra-oily, extra-thin crust cooks quickly, all the way through, with no gooey inside to worry about. And it won’t stick to the grill. The core trick is to flip the pizza after grilling one side, and put the toppings on the hot new grill marks. The crust comes out crunchy, crispy, chewy and cracker-like, with a charred but hopefully not burnt bottom and smoky flavor. At Al Forno you could, and still can, get toppings including nettle pesto, fried calamari, and peaches and prosciutto, to name a few. Once you get the hang of grilling a
Grilled Margherita ala Al Forno • 4 lbs hardwood charcoal • 1 ball pizza dough, 14-16 ounces • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil • 1 clove garlic, pressed, grated, crushed or minced • 14 ounces canned whole tomatoes, hand crushed • ½ cup chopped basil • ½ cup chopped parsley • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme • 3 ounces grated fontina cheese • 1 ounce grated Romano cheese • ½ teaspoon salt • ¼ teaspoon black pepper • 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes — Place the dough ball in a bowl and pour ¼ cup oil over it. Roll it in the oil to coat it all around and leave it to soak. Light the coals and when they are about halfway ready; spread them evenly about 5 inches below one side of the cooking grate. — While the coals catch, remove the dough and place it on the back of a cookie sheet. Press it into an oblong shape about the size of the pan, and less than ¼-inch thick. It’s OK if some parts are thick and others thin. If you stretch the crust so thin that a hole opens up, you don’t try to patch it. Just don’t add any toppings to that negative space, and you’ll be fine. — Add the minced garlic to the bowl of remaining oil. In a separate bowl mix the tomatoes, basil, thyme and parsley. — When the coals are a bit past their prime and not burning quite so aggressively, lift the crust by two points on the same edge and toss it onto the hot side, like you’d whip a fresh sheet onto a bed.
pizza, the precooked crust becomes a blank slate for whatever seasonal and creative toppings you can imagine. The most popular and longest running version is the margherita, topped with a juicy tomato sauce with herbs and the occasional pungent intrusion of half-cooked garlic, all held together by cheese. If you know what you’re doing, you could grill yourself a lovely pizza with a hunk of store-bought dough, a jar of sauce and a bag of shredded cheese. But there’s levels to this. Once you get the basic hang of grilling pizza, you can progress to thinking about toppings. And some day, perhaps, you’ll be ready to contemplate dough mixing.
— After about a minute on the grill it should start to puff up. Carefully tug up on an edge and peek at the underside. After another 30 or so seconds, before it blackens, grab the edge and flip the crust onto the cool side of the rack. (It’s impossible to give exact cooking times because they depend on the heat of your coals and their distance from the grill.) — While it’s still piping hot, immediately brush or rub the newly browned side of the crust with the garlic oil. Sprinkle on the fontina and then Romano cheeses, and spoon on the herbed crushed tomatoes in dispersed little piles. Sprinkle the salt, pepper and pepper flakes over the pizza. — With tongs or carefully with your fingers, slide the pizza onto the hot side, over the coals. Cook it as long as you can, ideally about four minutes, without smelling any burning crust. If it starts to blacken, pull it to the non-hot side of the grill and put the lid on until the cheese melts. Cut into artsy pieces with cooking scissors, and serve.
‘Game’ on LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Every year in New York State, there are countless high school football games that play themselves out on the grass and turf from Brooklyn to Buffalo. But for my money, it just doesn’t get better than Harrison and Rye. There are other rivalries, to be sure. Mamaroneck and Port Chester may be the oldest, and there may be others that see periods of intensity that can rival anything you might witness around the country. But few can approach “The Game” when it comes to sustained drama on a yearly basis. The Garnets and Huskies will square off on Oct. 2, the 94th meeting between the two schools, and if what we’ve seen so far is any indication, we’re going to have ourselves a barnburner. Sure, both teams are undefeated coming in to this week’s tilt—but records never mattered
in this game anyway. The relative competitiveness between the two squads mixed with the fact that last year’s installment was a relatively subdued affair due to Covid-19 restrictions provides all the ingredients for a powder keg of the very best kind. After 18 months of social distancing and quarantining, people are just looking for reasons to congregate, to let loose. You could see that toward the end of the spring season, as throngs of fans descended upon lacrosse playoff games to wildly cheer on their classmates. You can see it at professional sports contests in New York, as fans are just waiting to erupt in celebration. Last year, because “The Game” was played in front of a limited number of fans—mostly parents and family—the game lacked that energy and atmosphere that has come to define its existence. “The Game” meant as much as ever to the kids involved, but it felt just like any other game in a weird Covid-affected season. This year, however, I’m ex-
SPORTS pecting things to feel a little bit different. Fans ringed around McGillicuddy Field, rowdy student sections, anxious alumni, pep bands, cheerleaders; it’s going to be electric, and I—for one—can’t wait. Will the game live up to the hype? For people like me, the final score is secondary. What I love is watching these student-athletes—especially the ones who are playing in “The Game” for the first time—soak in the sights and the sounds. So let’s pack the place on Saturday, let’s cheer on our towns and our students—respectfully, of course—and let’s turn this 94th playing of “The Game” into an indelible memory for our student-athletes. It’s an experience they’ve waited their whole lives for, it’s an experience they’ll cherish forever, and—after the year we’ve had—it’s an experience that they deserve to enjoy.

Garnets enjoy stellar start FIELD HOCKEY
non league
RYE 7 CLARKSTOWN NORTH 0 RYE HS
9/21/21
Game Notes: • Lilly Whaling led the Garnets with 3 goals • Rye did not allow a goal through its first 6 games • The Garnets came into this week with a 7-0 record By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor With the fall season nearing its halfway point, several area teams are getting a fairly good idea as to where they shake out among the larger Section I landscape. But few teams are in as enviable position as the Rye field hockey team. Last week, the Garnets scored wins over Clarkstown North and R.C. Ketcham, improving their record to a stellar 7-0 with nine games remaining. Against Clarkstown on Sept. 21, the Garnets scored early and often en route to a 7-0 victory.
Lilly Whaling led the way with a three-goal effort, while teammates Ellie Hedges and Ava Chiaravalle each chipped in a goal and two assists. Rye’s refusal to surrender scoring opportunities was also on display, as goalie Catia Lai notched her sixth shutout of the year in an outing where she only faced one shot on goal. “That has kind of been the case all year in all the games, except for maybe Pelham where they did have some opportunities,” said Rye head coach Kelly Vegliante. “But I have a lot of confidence in our defense, so against [Clarkstown] I wasn’t that worried about us giving up a goal.” Rye’s six-game scoreless streak came to an end on Saturday afternoon when they took on their toughest foe of the year, a 5-1 Class A R.C. Ketcham team whose only loss came in a hotly contested game with powerhouse Lakeland. Saturday’s game was never in doubt, however, as the Garnets won 8-2, fueled by two-goal days from Whaling and Maggie Broderick. That win put the Garnets atop the Class B playoff picture, as

their 7-0 record gives them a slight edge over Lakeland who is perfect in six Section I contests. Although Vegliante said she came into the year with high expectations for a Garnet team whose hopes for a regional title were dashed by a Covid-related quarantine just before the start of last year’s postseason, she admitted that Rye’s successful run to start the year has exceeded her expectations. “We have a lot of returning players so I was confident we had a solid lineup, but I knew there were holes to fill,” she said. “But I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how quickly we’ve been able to fill those holes.” The Garnets will look to stay perfect this week, with games against Horace Greeley and White Plains on the docket. But despite the team’s stellar play so far, Vegliante believes that her team still has improvements to make as the second half of the season kicks off. “We still don’t have it all figured out yet,” she said. “We’re still kind of tweaking things, putting players into different positions and trying to get better.”
