Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine booster shots now available There has been a great deal of talk regarding booster shots for the COVID-19 vaccine, and the county is getting ready for this enormous task. Beginning Oct. 6, the Westchester County Department of Health will be holding Pfizer vaccine booster clinics, by appointment only, every Wednesday and

Thursday, 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., at 134 Court St., in White Plains. To be eligible to receive a Pfizer booster dose at one of our clinics, you must have completed your original Pfizer vaccine series at least six months ago and you must fall into one of the following categories: • 65 years and older.

• 18-plus with underlying medical conditions. • 18-plus who lives or works in a high-risk setting. Please be advised that at the current time, only the Pfizer booster has been approved by the FDA for most populations. The Westchester Health Department is waiting for approval of

the Moderna booster before it will schedule appointments for those who received the Moderna shots initially. You cannot “mix and match” the vaccines and boosters, so Moderna recipients must wait until the appropriate booster is available. I will keep you updated about this ongoing situation. (Submitted)

After visiting Mamaroneck to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ida and making a direct personal appeal to Office of Management and Budget, OMB, Acting Director Shalanda Young last month to urge the agency to greenlight the Mamaroneck and Sheldrake River Flood Risk Management Project, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Oct. 6, that he has secured $1.5 billion in disaster supplemental aid to fast track Ida-impacted Army Corps of Engineers, ACE, construction projects. Schumer explained this means the project could receive funding ASAP, bypassing several of the bureaucratic hiccups that have stalled construction for years. The project has been stalled for the past two years by the Trump administration based on faulty cost-benefit analysis, according to Schumer, despite strong support from the ACE, which would provide the boots on the ground necessary for construction. “Following the horrible flooding in Mamaroneck last month, which caused millions of dollars in damage, terrorized the community, and claimed the life of one person, I’m proud to deliver funding for Ida-affected communities, and am also pleased about getting the feds to finally greenlight the Mamaroneck and Sheldrake River Flood Risk Management Project,” said Schumer. “ The federal government is one step closer to moving forward with the flood-protection Project for Mamaroneck and nearby communities and finally protecting a community that has suffered for decades because of severe flooding.” “Since Hurricane Ida devastated our village we have made great strides in getting the Army Corps of Engineers plan to control flooding on the Mamaroneck and Sheldrake rivers back on track. A few weeks ago the

Office of Management and Budget told Senator Schumer that it will be supportive of our plan and the news … that the senator has secured $1.5 billion to jumpstart Army Corps construction projects in Ida-impacted communities, like ours, means that we are one step closer to shovels in the ground on this long overdue project,” said village of Mamaroneck Mayor Tom Murphy. Schumer visited Mamaroneck the day after Hurricane Ida hit the region, where disadvantaged residents living in the USACE project zone reported 14-feet of water flooding the area forcing them to evacuate their homes and seek shelter in the dead of night. There were more than 150 water rescues, 535 flooded homes, 1,000 people displaced, and 310 abandoned cars. The village has reported more than $18 million in damages and more than $75 million in residential and commercial damage. Five Westchester residents also tragically lost their lives in the flooding, including one in Mamaroneck bringing the total number of people who have died in Mamaroneck as a result of the persistent flooding to three in the past 25 years. The flood mitigation project in Mamaroneck was first imagined in response to a 2007 Nor’easter storm, which produced record flooding in the village of Mamaroneck, equivalent to a 1% flood event. Schumer travelled to the area the day after the storm to personally survey the extent of the significant damage. The 2007 event caused more than $50 million in damages and impacted more than 50% of total structures within the study area. The storm resulted in floodwaters peaking on the Mamaroneck River in approximately four hours, and in approximately six hours on the Sheldrake River. IDA continued on page 8

FEMA warns of disaster-related scams after Ida After a disaster, scam artists, identity thieves and other criminals often attempt to take advantage of disaster survivors. FEMA is urging residents to watch for and report any suspicious activity. Common post-disaster fraud practices include: • Fake offers of state or federal aid: Federal and state workers do not solicit or accept money. FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration personnel never charge applicants for disaster assistance, inspections or help in completing applications. • Phony housing inspectors: When a disaster occurs, applicants may be vulnerable to phony housing inspectors claiming to represent FEMA to inspect damage. Ask to see the inspector’s identification badge. All FEMA personnel and contractors will have official laminated photo identification. A FEMA representative may need to contact you to verify personal data. You should request a FEMA identification number. If you are unsure of the caller’s identity or you are suspicious of someone who says he or she is a housing inspector sent by

FEMA, call the FEMA Helpline at 800-621-3362 (711/VRS). • Phony government workers: You may be contacted by scam artists posing as disaster workers who are seeking money for services. Federal, state and local disaster workers do not solicit or accept money. Nor will federal disaster employees promise a disaster grant. • Fraudulent charitable solicitations: Criminals exploit survivors by sending fraudulent communications through email or social media and by creating phony websites designed to solicit contributions. Do not respond to unsolicited emails. For more information about avoiding charitable giving scams, visit the Federal Trade Commission’s website regarding Scam Alerts at https://www.consumer.ftc. gov/features/scam-alerts • Rental listing scams: The Federal Trade Commission has information on how rental-listing scams work. Learn more at https://www.consumer.ftc. gov/articles/0079-rental-listing-scams • Unlicensed/uninsured contractors: Often after a disaster,

individuals will represent themselves as legitimate contractors. Ask for references, be cautious about advanced payments, and make sure they are licensed and obtain the proper permits. You may check contractor license information at https://consumer.westchestergov.com/trades/ find-a-licensed-contractor If you have knowledge of fraud, waste or abuse, you can report these tips—24 hours a day, seven days a week—to the FEMA Disaster Fraud Hotline at 866-720-5721 or email disaster@leo.gov. (Submitted) If you believe you or a loved one has become a victim of a scam or identity theft, report it immediately to your local police or sheriff’s department, or contact the office of the New York state Attorney General: Consumer Protection Hotline, 800-697-1220 https://www.ny.gov/ agencies/divisionconsumer-protection https://dos.ny.gov/fileconsumer-complaint

Breast cancer walk back in-person The American Cancer Society, host of the largest Making Strides Against Breast Cancer movement in the United States, will reunite—in person—on Sunday, Oct. 17, in Westchester at Manhattanville College, providing reimagined and new ways to support and fund the future of breast cancer research and programs. The event will be held in accordance with CDC and New York State guidelines to ensure the safety of all attendees. Last year’s walk became drive-through events due to the pandemic. Thousands of breast cancer survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and corporate and community members are reuniting in Westchester and the Hudson Valley to save lives and ensure no one faces breast cancer alone. Supporters are thrilled to come together to walk with precautions in place to protect health and safety of participants. Alternatively, a Making Strides On The Go app provides a 5K walk experience with program and music for those more comfortable walking in small groups close to home.

Latimer signs anti-discrimination bill When County Executive George Latimer first took office in 2018, he made it a priority to strengthen and revitalize the Westchester County Human Rights Commission in an effort to combat discrimination and harassment incidents throughout the County. On Friday, Oct. 8, Latimer will fulfill his promise by signing into law the Anti-Discriminatory Harassment Bill, legislation that expands the type of harassment that can be prosecuted under the law. “When I sign this bill into law, we do away with any further reference to ‘other’ and ensure that there is only a ‘we’ in our County,” Latimer said. “Westchester is very diverse, and we should all embrace any differences that exist between us. Today, I stand together with each and every one of you, solidifying our message that harassment and dis-

crimination must end in Westchester County.” Under the current Westchester County Human Rights Law, it is unlawful to discriminate in relation to employment, public accommodations, housing accommodation, commercial space and land transactions, and the issuing of credit—but what the Human Rights Law does not currently protect against is discriminatory harassment outside of these specific actions. The change initiated by Latimer makes it an unlawful discriminatory practice for a person to by “force or threat of force, knowingly injure, intimidate or interfere with, or threaten any other person in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to such other person by the constitution or laws of the United States, the constitution or laws of this state, or by

local law, or by this chapter.” With the new law in place, individuals are prohibited from interfering with a person’s right to the enjoyment of their home or residence, or to utilize and enjoy public transportation free from threats, intimidation, harassment, coercion or violence because of the person’s actual or perceived membership in a protected class. “This new law is a timely and proactive approach to combatting discrimination in venues that are not otherwise covered by the County’s Human Rights Law,” said Tejash Sanchala, executive director of the Human Rights Commission. “With this expansion of the Commission’s jurisdiction, the County’s Human Rights Law is a leader in affording anti-discriminatory protections to residents and visitors in Westchester.” (Submitted)

Woman arraigned in Harrison for fake COVID cards Westchester County District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah announced that Mount Vernon resident Diana Finlay has been arraigned for possessing nearly two dozen fraudulent COVID-19 Vaccination Record cards. Finlay, 53, was charged on Oct. 12, in Harrison Town Court with five counts of Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the second degree, a felony. The Westchester County District Attorney’s office made the arrest on Sept. 23, with assistance from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. On Sept. 23, at approximately 4:45 p.m., Finlay was pulled over in Harrison after she was

observed driving her car with a forged New Jersey temporary registration license tag. Following her arrest, 21 forged COVID-19 Vaccination Record cards and three additional forged New Jersey temporary registration tags were recovered. “The District Attorney’s Office will vigorously investigate and prosecute anyone who is found purchasing, possessing, making, or selling forged vaccination cards,” Rocah said. “The health and safety of the public is our top priority, and we will not tolerate conduct that puts individuals at increased risk of the serious effects of COVID-19,” “Our investigation is ongoing and any individuals who may

IDA from page 1

have relevant information about someone in possession of or selling fake vaccination cards are asked to contact our office.” Finlay is scheduled to appear again in Harrison Town Court on Dec. 7. The case is being prosecuted by the Trials and Investigations Division Economic Crimes Bureau. If anyone has information on someone purchasing, in possession of or selling fake vaccination cards, please call the district attorney’s office at (914) 955-TIPS. The charges against the defendant are merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. (Submitted)

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced on Oct. 6, that he has secured $1.5 billion in disaster supplemental aid to fast track Ida-impacted Army Corps of Engineers, ACE, construction projects in Mamaroneck. Upon completion, the project would reduce flood risk for the Mamaroneck and Sheldrake River Basins and protect residents and business owners by constructing retaining walls and a diversion culvert. File photo

As such, the evacuation time for approximately 19,000 residents in the village of Mamaroneck was severely restricted and created a high-risk situation. More than 40% of Mamaroneck residents required evacuation assistance prior to floodwaters peaking, including a large population of children that attended a school located within the epicenter of the severe flooding. Following this, in March of 2010, a Design Agreement was signed by the Army Corps., NYS Department of Conservation, DEC, and Westchester County for a Preconstruction Engineering and Design study.

During this time, severe flooding again occurred during hurricanes Irene and Lee in 2011. The flooding extended several blocks on both sides of Mamaroneck Avenue. The repeated disasters, including shoreline flooding from Superstorm Sandy in 2012, caused extensive damage and severely impacted the local economy. Following a $4.7 million study by the Army Corps, the project was recommended for construction in the 2018 America’s Water Infrastructure Act. However, in February of 2020 it was discovered that the project would not move forward with the construction of the project because of the

benefit-cost ratio used by OMB, sparking community concern and outrage. Upon completion, the project would reduce flood risk for the Mamaroneck and Sheldrake River Basins and protect residents and business owners by constructing retaining walls and a diversion culvert. The project would also enable the deepening and widening of river channels, elevate structures, and remove/ replace two vehicular bridges that constrict flood flow. The plan is estimated to potentially reduce average annual damages by approximately 87% and help reduce the risk of loss of life. (Submitted)

First Source Referral supports New Ro jobseekers First Source Referral Center moved from 247 North Ave. to 173 Huguenot St., Suite 100 as the organization continues to grow and provide essential job placement and training opportunities to New Rochelle residents. Back in 2017, the city of New Rochelle partnered with Westhab, a Yonkers-based organization now celebrating its 40th anniversary working with low-income communities, and STRIVE, an international firm helping people enter the workforce, to establish the First Source Referral Center; and recently celebrated the 1,000th job placement of a New Rochelle resident. First Source Referral Center provides free comprehensive career development and support services including job placement opportunities in construction, healthcare, retail and other fields. The organization was created to maximize employment opportunities sparked by the ongoing revitalization of downtown

New Rochelle and is funded through the Industrial Development Agency, IDA, at no cost to taxpayers. As part of ongoing placement events, First Source Referral Center regularly hosts job fairs to help place residents in construction jobs at projects in New Rochelle and provide jobseekers with opportunities in various trades including electrical, carpentry, HVAC and flooring. “As New Rochelle continues its downtown transformation, providing job opportunities to all residents to ensure that the benefits of the redevelopment are shared broadly and equitably is a top priority for the City,” said City Manager Charles B. Strome, chair of the New Rochelle IDA. “The City’s partnership with First Source Referral Center is promoting career development and workforce growth within our community to build a better future for our residents throughout the downtown and beyond.” “We take pride in our rela-

tionship with the First Source Referral Center and its terrific, dedicated team,” says Joseph Graziose Jr., senior vice president of Residential Development for RXR Realty. “We are happy to have been a proactive partner in supporting the Center’s move and this milestone job placement achievement, and look forward to continued collaboration in this important effort to create job training and placement for underserved communities.” The services provided by First Source Referral Center not only include job placement opportunities but also job readiness programs like resume writing workshops, interview preparation, skills assessments, as well as some industry specific job training.

Health Notes

Environmental effects

on health

12.6 million

Things to know this Earth Day

Earth Day puts a spotlight on the planet’s health — which, doctors say, is closely tied to your own. Here are five things to know about the connection. Pollution is not a small, faraway health issue “The footprint of pollution globally is massive,” and air pollution is the biggest danger, said Dr. Sanjay Rajagopalan, chief of cardiovascular medicine for University Hospitals Harrington Heart and Vascular Institute in Cleveland. The World Health Organization estimates 12.6 million deaths a year can be attributed to environmental risks. That’s more than a fifth of all deaths, and more than a quarter of deaths in children younger than 5. Air pollution alone contributes to more deaths worldwide than many other illnesses combined, Rajagopalan said. But it’s also an American problem, said Dr. Aaron Bernstein, interim director of the Center for Climate, Health, and the Global Environment at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston. A recent study in Environmental Research estimated that each year, polluted air from the burning of fossil fuels in the U.S. kills more than 300,000 people.

“It’s almost like having a COVID pandemic every year,” he said. Air pollution hurts more than you know It’s much more than watery eyes or an obscured view of the mountains. “Air pollution makes children have to come see me in the emergency room because they can’t breathe,” said Bernstein, who also is a pediatrician at Boston Children’s Hospital. “It makes people who are older who have chronic lung problems go to the emergency room because they can’t breathe. It contributes to people dying from respiratory infections, including COVID.” It has been linked to an increased risk of pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and preeclampsia, certain types of

cancer, and cognitive decline in older adults. It’s also bad for the heart, Rajagopalan said. Even short-term exposure over hours or days increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, abnormal heartbeats and sudden death. “Most physicians don’t know that air pollution causes cardiovascular problems,” which is the primary way it kills, he said. Climate change is a health issue Climate change means higher temperatures. And higher temperatures may trigger heart attacks and make strokes more severe. Heat waves “are particularly dangerous for people who have medical problems, particularly heart problems and kidney problems,” Bernstein said.

The World Health Organization estimates 12.6 million deaths a year can be attributed to environmental risks.

“There’s strong evidence that heat waves are bad for mental health and increase risks of violence and suicides.” Climate change hurts people indirectly as well, he said. For example, it leads to more wildfires, which produce smoke. And wildfire smoke can lead to spikes in heart attacks, strokes and hospitalizations for heart failure, research shows. Changing weather patterns also can affect insects that spread diseases such as dengue fever, West Nile virus, Chagas and chikungunya. Save the planet, stop a pandemic? COVID-19 is the latest and worst coronavirus to strike humans recently, but there have been others.

Close relatives of such viruses are found in wild animals, including bats. And humans have been encroaching on their habitats. “Clearing forests evicts bats from their homes,” Bernstein said. “Bats without homes may be more likely to encounter people and spill a virus into a person that could spread around the world. “We must protect nature to protect ourselves,” he said, but at the moment humans are playing “an ill-fated game of Russian roulette with nature.” There’s hope, and you matter “It’s important to remember that air quality has gotten better in the United States over the last 40 years” thanks to the Clean Air Act of 1970 and relat-

ed regulations, Bernstein said. “We’ve seen acrossthe-board improvements in the air pollutants that are most harmful at the same time that our economy has grown substantially.” Dirty air and climate change stem from the same sources, Rajagopalan said. “Be an advocate for sustainable energy sources, sustainable food — all of these things are important,” he said. One person’s choices can seem small, but they can have an outsized importance, Bernstein said. Recycling or driving a less-polluting car sends a message about what we want the culture to be. “It’s about what we want for our own health, the health of our families, and especially the health of our children,” he said.

Of brick walls and coaches LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

After the Red Sox pulled off an unlikely ALDS victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night, Boston reliever Garrett Whitlock wrapped a genuine nugget of wisdom inside a sports cliché as old as time. When discussing Boston skipper Alex Cora—who has quickly established himself as one of the finest managers in Major League Baseball—Whitlock offered up a rote, overused soundbite to describe Cora’s impact on the team. “He’s a guy you’d run through a wall for,” Whitlock said. But Whitlock continued, offering a little more nuance as he spoke about his manager’s impact. “If he told me to run through that wall, I’d believe that he had something there to make sure it would fall for me.” In my years of watching—and

covering—sports, I don’t know if I’ve ever heard the role of a manager or coach so succinctly put. The special ones, it would seem, are not successful simply because of their ability to motivate their players or outwit their counterparts across the field. They are successful because they are able to instill a belief in their players that they are putting those players in a position to succeed while giving them the tools to do so. Don’t get me wrong; there’s a lot that goes into being a coach, regardless of the sport or the level. From tee-ball to high school through college, I’ve played for just about every single type, too. From “rah-rah” motivators to stern tacticians, from strict drill sergeant-types to ones who just wanted to be “one of the guys.” But regardless of personality types, the very best ones always had the ability to explain not just the “how,” but the “why.” In one of my very first varsity baseball practices ever, our coach had us practice fake bunt-slashes in the gym for an hour. Although

it seemed odd at the time, he told us why we were spending time on an skill we likely wouldn’t use a whole lot as varsity athletes; Mamaroneck—our main rival—would often employ a bunt defense that saw their second baseman crash towards the plate as soon as the batter squared to bunt. For three years we worked on that play in practice, never once dusting it off in a game until my senior year when, lo-and-behold, we beat Mamaroneck—who had won something like 15 straight games—with that very technique. It was a great win for us, sure. But it was also possible because, in three years, our coach never let us lose sight of why we were working on a particular drill in practice. We knew why we were doing what we were doing, and we had faith that this drill wasn’t just a waste of time. The best high school history teachers don’t simply have students memorize the dates of important events, they put those

events into context. They give their charges the tools to recognize the significance of said events, providing them with a broader understanding of its understanding. Likewise, the best coaches are

able to interact with their players in such a way where the mechanical—and mental—aspects of the game come into focus. So kudos to Alex Cora for embodying that ideal and kudos to Garrett Whitlock for putting the

vagaries of a coach’s job into words. I just hope people were listening.

SPORTS Garnets, Huskies battle to draw 16 • THE REVIEW • October, 2021

GIRLS SOCCER

league

HARRISON RYE HARRISON HS

0 0 10/9/21

Game Notes: • The two teams played 100 min of scoreless soccer • Rye is currently the No. 3 seed in Class A • Harrison will play Pelham on 10/15 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Oct. 9, the girls soccer teams from Harrison and Rye squared off in the finale of a twogame regular season set, one last rivalry test for the two teams before the Class A playoffs next week. For the Huskies, the game proved to be an opportunity to erase the sting of an early-October loss to the Garnets, and a chance to establish the squad’s ability to compete with the section’s best; something they did by battling Rye to a competitive 0-0 draw.

In the first meeting between the two clubs on Oct. 4, it was Rye’s big stars—and designed plays—that proved the difference-maker as Maddy Walsh and Reilly Traynor found the net on corner and free kick chances to bury the Huskies 2-0. On Saturday, however, Harrison head coach Jon-Erik Zappala said that his squad came fully cognizant of how dangerous their opponent could be in those positions. We defended better on set pieces and corner kicks; that’s how they beat us last time,” said Zappala. “We still gave them too many opportunities, but we were able to defend them.” The Huskies were also able to put plenty of pressure on the Rye defense, peppering Garnet keeper Bell Jackson with shots, though all were turned away. Early in the second half, it seemed as though Harrison might be awarded a penalty kick after an apparent Rye handball in the box, but the referees indicated no foul on the play, wiping away what might have been the Huskies’ best chance to break the scoreless deadlock. According to Zappala, the non-call is simply part of the

game and didn’t effect his team in the slightest. “This is soccer, there’s going to be calls all the time. Sometimes they’re for you, sometimes they’re against you,” he said. “Regardless of what it is, this team is really good at picking their head up and moving forward.” As the two teams eye the final stretch of the regular season, they find themselves in different positions in the standings, although both clubs have aspirations of deep postseason runs. At 8-1-2, the Garnets are hoping to finish out the season on a strong note in order to preserve their spot as one of the top three seeds in Class A. The Huskies (5-5-3) have had a tougher road, but still think of themselves as capable of turning some heads in the playoffs. “If you look at our record, every game we’ve been outshooting teams and we’ve been losing by one goal or we’ve been tied,” said Zappala. “We’re in it to win it all the time, but this is a young team and they’re starting to come into their own.”
