County health commissioner awarded ‘Doctors of Distinction’ Westchester County’s Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler has been named a COVID-19 hero in Westfair’s 2020 Doctors of Distinction Awards. Amler, who has served as Westchester’s health commissioner for the past nine years, was honored for her exceptional efforts to keep the public healthy and safe during the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Since the onset of the pandemic in March, Amler has continued to be a true hero on the front lines, and was an inte-
gral part of stopping the spread of COVID-19 throughout Westchester County. “Westchester was one of the first true epicenters of the Coronavirus pandemic in the country beginning with a cluster of cases in New Rochelle—our County had never before seen a contagion like this one,” Amler said. “But, our public health team stepped into action immediately, putting aside every other responsibility they had to address head on this crisis as it emerged
in our community. We are enduring a difficult year in 2020, and I am honored to be one of many who are being recognized in Westfair’s 2020 Doctors of Distinction Awards.” The annual award ceremony, which took place virtually this year on Thursday, Sept. 24, celebrated extraordinary health care providers who have gone above and beyond to provide top-quality care and service to patients in Westchester and Fairfield counties.
“Dr. Amler has done a tremendous job in helping Westchester County overcome the Coronavirus pandemic, and she has done so with a professionalism and compassion that is undeniable,” Westchester County George Latimer said. “I am extremely proud that she has been recognized as one of Westfair’s 2020 Doctors of Distinction, an honor that is so well deserved especially during what has been such a trying year for our communities and residents.” (Submitted)
Legislators question Altice about storm response Members of the Board of Legislators spent nearly two hours last Wednesday probing the response by local internet and telecommunications service providers to outages last month resulting from Tropical Storm Isaias. At a Committee of the Whole meeting on Sept. 23, legislators questioned John Dullaghan, director of Government Affairs for Altice—which owns Optimum— about the company’s storm preparations, storm hardening programs, communications with customers and with local municipal officials, cooperation with power utilities, and plan for customer reimbursements for the service outages. Representatives from Verizon were also invited, but declined to appear, citing the ongoing investigation by the New York State Public Service Commission, PSC, into the utilities’ storm response. Although the company said representatives would be willing to appear before the board after the PSC investigation was complete, Board Chairman Ben Boykin expressed his disappointment. “Even with an ongoing PSC investigation, Altice is here today, and representatives of both Con Ed and NYSEG came before us earlier this month,” he said. “During the COVID-19 pandemic, telecommunications access, especially internet access, has become an essential lifeline for Westchester families and working people. Our new reality, which includes more frequent and more strenuous storms, as well as the need for social distancing and remote work and learning, have placed our internet
service providers in a new position, and they must step up. You failed us when we needed you the most.” At the meeting, legislators insisted that Altice improve communications with customers, municipal officials and power companies whose poles they share. Legislators also requested that the company assign more personnel to Westchester, assign municipal liaisons to work with local departments of public works, improve its provision for backup power generation, and make sure that when there are storm emergencies the company has personnel on hand at the county’s Emergency Operations Center. Dullaghan said the company would be exploring several of the recommended changes. In addition, Dullaghan said that in the past the company’s restoration plan has prioritized commercial customers, but it would consider treating home customers as commercial customers now, given the new realities of people relying on home internet service for working, learning, shopping and socializing. Dullaghan noted that under state regulations Altice is only required to refund the cable TV portion of a bill when there is an outage. However, he said, the company has agreed to give full credit to all customers who experience outages from the date of the storm through service restoration. Credits will begin appearing on bills at different times depending on a customer’s billing cycle. Full video of the meeting is available on the board’s website, westchesterlegislators. com.

Don’t put off your breast cancer screening In 2020, we’ve let nonessentials fall by the wayside to focus on surviving the pandemic. That’s understandable… but as we adjust to the challenges of a new way of life, do not think of breast cancer screening as nonessential. The American Cancer Society notes that many individuals are putting cancer screenings on hold this year. It is important to remember cancer doesn’t take a break. One in eight women in the U.S. will receive a breast cancer diagnosis by her 75th birthday. If a cancer is discovered before it has spread beyond the breast, women have a 99% fiveyear relative survival rate. But that drops off if the cancer has spread into the lymph nodes or throughout the body. That’s why it’s so important to keep up with routine mammograms. “We understand fear associated with routine healthcare during a pandemic but want you to know it is safe to have screenings and routine care performed,” said Dr. Michelle Azu, director of breast surgical services at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence
Hospital, associate director of the Breast Disease Management Team at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence and assistant professor of surgery at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. “We have taken the critical precautions necessary to continue keeping the health of our community as the top priority. We do not want to miss or delay a diagnosis so be sure to call to schedule your screenings as soon as possible. Our doors are open. ” Who Needs to Be Screened? Professional organizations offer diverse guidance about when to start screening mammograms and how often to have them. However, by 40 women should be discussing their screening schedule with their doctor. By 50, women should definitely be getting screening mammograms, either annually or every other year. Factors that might encourage you to get earlier or more frequent screening include a family history of breast cancer, having either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation, or having dense breast tissue. “In women with dense breasts,
the mammogram may not capture information about the breast tissue as comprehensively as we would like,” Azu said. “Breast density has to do with the proportion of fibrous versus fat tissue in the breast. If you’ve been told after a mammogram that you have dense breasts, you should ask about adding in an ultrasound.” A Community of Care It doesn’t happen often, but sometimes, you can get a callback for a biopsy after a breast cancer screening. Occasionally, women do receive a breast cancer diagnosis. When that happens, you need access to a complete spectrum of medical and supportive services. You also need a community that’s committed to being with you every step of the way. At the NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital Cancer Center, women can receive screening, biopsy and, if needed, a full range of breast cancer treatments under one roof. NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Cancer Center offers advanced therapies and supportive care for women at every stage of their cancer journey.
““Breast cancer care may include surgery, radiation oncology and/or medical oncology. For surgical decision-making, it’s important to have a detailed conversation with your surgeon to understand what the options are so you can make a really informed decision,” Azu said. “Another important piece to your plan may include considering if your cancer could be genetically linked. You will discuss your personal risk and family history with your
team and may even be referred to see a genetic counselor, who is also part of our care team. For women undergoing mastectomy, reconstructive surgery is a supported option for most, and if it is the right decision for you we have numerous options available. We are a community of specialists focused on providing the best care tailored to your exact circumstance. We can draw on our partnership with Columbia University to offer access to a range
If you have breast cancer, early detection and expert care can lead to more satisfying outcomes and longer life. Call 787-5008 to schedule a screening today. of clinical trials. We support our cancer community at every stage and will continue to advocate for early detection of breast cancer to begin exploring treatment possibilities as soon as possible.” (Submitted)

The New 60 is a weekly look about what it’s like to be in your 60’s in today’s world: adult children living at home, downsizing (jobs and houses), finding old friends on Facebook and deciphering text-speak. It’s a Brave New World of second homes, second careers and second marriages…and finding out after a lifetime of milkshakes and ice cream that you’re suddenly lactose-intolerant. The New 60 is created by two local 60-plus Westchester residents, John Colquhoun of Bronxville and Andy Landorf, who hails from Tarrytown. The duo are long-time advertising creatives and this, as the saying goes, is their Act II. Even though it features folks in their 60’s, if you know someone who is 60, have a parent who’s 60 or just generally enjoy watching funny things happen to other people, you’ll find something to relate to here—you may even find yourself saying, “Hey, that happened to me!” To read more of the New 60, visit their website at thenew60comic.com.

‘Screenings under the Stars’ drive-in movies come to Croton The Croton Point Park parking lot will be transformed into a drive-in theater, presenting “The Addams Family” on Friday, Oct. 9, and “Goosebumps” on Saturday, Oct. 10, allowing movie-goers to enjoy classic, family-friendly films in a socially distanced way. The movies are presented by New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital as part of Westchester County Parks’ “Screenings under the Stars” series. “This year we have established socially distant drive-in movies as another desirable form of family-friendly entertainment, and we are delighted to partner with NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson
Valley Hospital in presenting two classic fall movies at Croton Point Park,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “I am grateful for the generosity of our partners who make such programming possible for the families of Westchester.” “The Addams Family” tells the story of an eccentrically macabre family that moves to a bland suburb where Wednesday Addams’ friendship with the daughter of a hostile and conformist local reality show host exacerbates conflict between the families. In “Goosebumps,” a teenager teams up with the daughter of young adult horror author R. L.
Stine after the writer’s imaginary demons are set free on the town of Madison, Delaware. “NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital is pleased to sponsor this socially distanced Halloween family activity. We believe in and support the communities we serve and look forward to partnering with Westchester County on other family friendly programs in the future,” said Stacey Petrower, president of NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital. Both movies will be ticketed-admission events, with purchase available by online pre-sale only.
Tickets go on sale for “The Addams Family” on Tuesday, Sept. 29 at 2 p.m. online at https:// wcparks.ticketleap.com/driveincroton/ Tickets are $20 per car and there will be limited capacity following distancing protocols. “Goosebumps” tickets will go on sale at the same link on Wednesday, Sept. 30, also starting at 2 p.m. Moviegoers will be asked to maintain a six-foot distance from others when exiting their vehicles, and to wear a mask at all times when outside their vehicles. No gatherings will be permitted. Exiting your vehicle will be permit-
ted when using the port-o-sans, which will be available and will be serviced routinely. Hand sanitizer will also be available. New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital’s “Screenings under the Stars” is presented by Westchester County Parks and Sharc Creative with Westchester Parks Foundation, and support from Entergy, Westchester Talk Radio, 100.7 WHUD, 107.1 The Peak, Hamlethub, Robison, LLP, Tompkins Mahopac Bank, Inspiria Outdoor Advertising and Westchester Magazine.

Letters to the Editor
Caregivers need to see their loved ones
About Letters to the Editor
To the Editor: As a caregiver, I am all too aware that those with dementia are particularly susceptible to COVID-19 due to their typical age and their increased likelihood of co-existing chronic conditions. Those who are most vulnerable face additional challenges inside care facilities. Alzheimer’s has devastated my family. My father was just 56 when he was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. Ten years later, he’s in the advanced stages of the disease and has been residing in a nursing facility for the past six years. I have not been able to see him since March. His facility is home to more than 700 residents, and 1200 staff. Because of the capacity on his campus and current 14-day COVID-free threshold for visitation, I do not believe that I will see my father anytime soon. In New York, we were hit hard at the beginning of the pandemic and worked tirelessly to get the numbers down. Nursing homes were mandated to admit recovering COVID patients. The original COVID-free threshold for in-person visitation was 28 days. Throughout all this time, I was unable to be with my father to decrease his feelings of isolation. Even with the revised visitation policy, my hope has withered. The Alzheimer’s Association is advocating for rapid testing, adequate PPE and other systems to be put into place in long-term care facilities so that safe visitation can be resumed. I urge the government and care facilities to work together so that caregivers like me can be reunited with their loved ones.

Mayer teams up with Census Bureau
Senator Shelley Mayer in New Rochelle at Feeney Park with members of her Youth Advisory Council and a representative from the Census Bureau. Contributed photo
On Saturday, Sept. 26, Sen. Shelley Mayer hosted three events—in Port Chester, New Rochelle and Yonkers—to do Census outreach. Mayer and her Youth Advisory Council partnered with the Census Bureau and local Complete Count committees to help residents get counted on the spot. The three locations target Hard to Count communities in Westchester before the Oct. 31 deadline to be counted. Completing the census is confidential, and information will not be shared with other agencies. “Census data determines funding for government programs that lift up our communities including for schools, roads, healthcare, housing, and so much more,” Mayer said. “I am so proud that my Youth Advisory Council spearheaded and staffed this event in the multiple communities at greatest risk of undercount. With the deadline only one month away, I am glad I was able to coordinate with
local Complete Count Committees and the Census Bureau to get more residents counted in Hard to Count communities in Port Chester, New Rochelle, and Yonkers.” Mayer’s office had tables at the Purdy Avenue Port Chester Housing Authority, Feeney Park in New Rochelle, and in front of the Aisling Irish Community Center in Yonkers. “There were unique challenges these communities faced this year to ensure residents were counted in the Census including allaying fears about confidentiality of information and not being able to do traditional, door-todoor outreach due to the threat of COVID-19,” Mayer said. “I am grateful to all of our partners for the Census outreach events, and we will continue to promote until the very last day of the deadline.” There are more than 50 government programs that rely on Census data for fund disbursement. Some of the largest gov-
ernment programs that allocate federal funding to states based on Census data include: • Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid) • Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) • Medicare Supplemental Medical Insurance (Medicare Part B) • Federal Pell Grant Program • Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers. This past week, a federal judge ruled that the Census needed more time to get an accurate count, and the original deadline of Oc. 31, 2020 would stay in place. Everyone must be counted in the Census every 10 years regardless of immigration status or age. Filling out the Census is safe and secure, and information provided will not be shared with immigration enforcement, law enforcement agencies or used to determine eligibility for benefits. Visit my2020census.gov or call 844-330-2020 to be counted. (Submitted)

A small sliver of hope LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Forgive my trepidation, call me a worrywart and laugh in the face of my pessimism; despite recent positive signs, I wouldn’t call the high school fall sports season a certainty just quite yet. By all measures, we should be eying the date of Sept. 29 with great anticipation; sure there won’t be football and volleyball—at least not until March— but the return of “low-to-medium risk” interscholastic athletics seems imminent. Last week, Section I even released its (revised) schedules for the fall season, which would ordinarily be cause for celebration. But try as I might, I’m finding it harder and harder to convince myself that this sports restart will go as smoothly as most people hope. Last week, even as Section
I was constructing those fall schedules, our area saw its first school district opt out of fall athletics, with Yonkers schools postponing their soccer seasons until March 1. Previously, Rochester schools had made a similar decision, becoming the first district in the state to go beyond the restart guidelines set forth by the NYSPHSAA back in August. But while Yonkers and Rochester might have been the first to slam the door on the fall season, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they will be the last. The one thing we have discovered about the COVID-19 pandemic—and our response to it—is that the situations are always fluid. Guidelines recommended by health officials one day might be obsolete six weeks later, while areas that had experienced few cases this month might find their hospitalization rates spiking the next. The threat of contracting the virus is scary enough; the uncertainty of it all can be downright
terrifying. As doctors warn of a flu-season spike, what concerns me about the fall season is not so much that high school sports will turn into some sort of super-spreader event, but that any sort of uptick in cases—be it related to the athletics restart or not—might cause the superintendents in charge of various districts to determine that continuing to play high school sports would simply be untenable, shutting down the already abbreviated fall campaign. It is easy to criticize officials for making unpopular choices, of course, but it is important to understand that in cases such as these, it’s better to err on the side of caution. I’ve already got a few dates circled on my sports calendar, an Oct. 10 matchup between Harrison and Eastchester’s boys soccer teams, a Friday afternoon showdown between field hockey rivals Mamaroneck and Scarsdale just six days later be-

ing chief among them. But I don’t have a crystal ball, I don’t know if those games—or any— will happen this fall.
But at least there is a glimmer of hope, no matter how faint, of something to look forward to. That is more than
we’ve had in a long time.
