Latimer highlights Probation Department for reducing crime All crime is down double digits in Westchester County, and County Executive George Latimer believes the improved numbers are due in large part to the good work of Westchester County’s Probation Department. Westchester County’s probation officers oversee thousands of cases and supervise thousands of people who are placed on probation each year, and are primarily responsible for ensuring crimes are not committed once offenders are released back into the public. Through home visits, drug testing, making sure offenders attend support services, and helping to secure housing and employment, the Probation Department’s goal is promoting public safety, and holding offenders accountable for
their actions. Latimer said: “Westchester County’s probation officers are the unsung heroes who help us to reduce crime in all of our communities. By working closely with the Westchester County Department of Public Safety, the District Attorney’s office, our local municipalities and a number of criminal justice agencies, our Probation Department offers an effective, safe alternative to incarceration. They are mentors, they provide guidance, and they help offenders reenter our communities as the best version of themselves.” Commissioner of the Westchester County Department of Probation Rocco Pozzi said: “Probation is probably one of the biggest kept secrets in the criminal justice system,
because people really don’t understand the important role probation plays for the courts, and providing community safety by providing supervision to those who are released to our jurisdiction. If we can
do this well, then we are providing and extra layer of safety to our communities.” There are 144 Probation Officers currently serving Westchester County. (Submitted)
On Monday evening, the Westchester County Board of Legislators commemorated Women’s History Month by honoring all of the women who have served the Board, in a live-streamed video presentation and ceremony. Chairwoman Catherine Borgia (D–Briarcliff Manor, Cortlandt, Croton, Ossining, Peekskill) kicked off the ceremony with the acknowledgement that Women’s History Month 2022 was an historic moment for the Board. She said, “In light of our Board electing women for the first time to the top two leadership positions -- myself as Chair and Legislator Nancy Barr as Vice Chair -- it is fitting to pay tribute to all the women who have served this Board. Since this body first convened in 1970, women have been integral as Legislators, and in leadership positions of Chair, Vice Chair, Majority and Minority Leader, and as Clerk.” A video comprised of personal messages from former Legislators was shown, and included segments from NYS Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, NYS Assemblywoman Sandy Galef, the Hon. Diane A. Keane-Foster, the Hon. Alfreda A. Williams, the Hon. Pearl C. Quarles, the Hon. Kitley Covill and the Hon. Ruth Walter. They relayed anecdotes about winning their place at the table by balancing the budget, working across the aisle for economic and social equity for women and minorities, and helping to create the County Human Rights Commission. A photo montage followed, chronicling the work of all the women Legislators
which culminated with the Board’s appointment of Tajian Nelson as the first Black woman Democratic Election Commissioner at the March 7, 2022 Board meeting. Finally, Chair Borgia acknowledged and thanked the former women Legislators who were in the audience – the Hon. Alfreda A. Williams, the Hon. Pearl C. Quarles, the Hon. Kitley Covill and the Hon. Ruth Walter – asking them to stand with the women who currently serve: Vice Chair Barr (D-Harrison, Port Chester, Rye Brook), and Legislators Erika Pierce (D-Bedford, Lewisboro, Mt. Kisco, North Salem, Pound Ridge, Somers), Minority Leader Margaret A. Cunzio (C-Mt. Pleasant, North Castle, Pleasantville, Valhalla, Sleepy Hollow, Briarcliff Manor), Catherine F. Parker (D-Harrison, Larchmont, Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, Rye), Jewel Williams Johnson (D- Elmsford, Greenburgh, Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown), Terry Clements (D- New Rochelle, Pelham, Pelham Manor), and MaryJane Shimsky (D- Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Edgemont, Hartsdale, Hastings-on-Hudson, Irvington). Borgia concluded the program by saying, “It was wonderful to see all of these pictures of the women who came before us, and to know of the battles they fought so that we could have the privilege of sitting here tonight ... I think we all have an obligation, both men and women, to encourage young women to participate in government because it is clear that when we have equal representation, really good things happen.” (Submitted)

GridRewards App helps local Con Ed customers With electricity costs skyrocketing, thousands of Con Edison customers in Westchester and New York City are realizing the many benefits of using the free GridRewards™ app to manage their daily energy use, including cash rewards and lower monthly utility bills. The creator of the app and operator of the program, Logical Buildings, anticipates increased subscribership in upcoming months, largely in response to escalating energy rates. Sustainable Westchester, a nonprofit municipal membership organization that counts forty-five Westchester municipalities as members, began its collaboration with Logical Buildings in 2020. “Sustainable Westchester chose to partner with Logical Buildings to promote GridRewards™ because we immediately saw how empowering it was for Westchester residents and small businesses to take more control of their energy usage and while doing so, to earn money and reduce strain on our electric grid,” points out Nina Orville, Executive Director, Sustainable Westchester. “Reducing usage during times of peak demand also has an important environmental justice impact as those are the times that the utility puts the dirtiest power generating
plants into service. Reducing environmental impact while providing other benefits to our communities is core to our mission and approach.” In the nearly two years since the revolutionary technology was rolled out, initially as an AI program and, in spring 2021, as an app, the GridRewards™ “community” has prevented more than 200 tons of carbon from entering the atmosphere. This reduction of carbon is equivalent to taking more than 11,000 homes completely off the grid during high electric load events, 15,000 cars off the road for one day, or offsetting more than 500,000 miles driven. In New York City, alone, the reduced load this past summer drastically decreased the use of pollution-producing peaker plants. The free GridRewards™ app can be downloaded to any smartphone from either the App Store or Google Play and does not require Wi-Fi, a computer, or technical expertise to set up and use. The first-of-its-kind technology sends out easy-to-follow prompts that inform subscribers when to raise their air-conditioner settings by a few degrees or run appliances like washing machines and dishwashers.
The app also sends out reminders to turn off lights in unoccupied rooms, among other guidelines. For a few simple actions reflecting smart energy usage choices, customers are awarded cash payments and can shrink their monthly utility bills. “With the completion of this year’s first payment cycle in January, we were able to distribute cash rewards to thousands of GridRewards™ subscribers in Westchester and New York City,” says Jeff Hendler, CEO of Logical Buildings. “They also had access to information that enabled them to make smart decisions to reduce their monthly utility bills.” The GridRewards™ app sends out notifications that help users make energy management decisions in real-time. Rewards receivers are informed of their cash savings daily. They are also prompted as they accrue and when the rewards can be collected through PayPal for instant cash or by a paper check mailed to the subscriber’s address. GridRewards™ additionally offers the option to donate earnings to non-profit organizations focused on food insecurity, sustainability, and energy equity. The five beneficiaries selected for 2021/2022, comprise: City Harvest, Mothers
Out Front, WE ACT, Natural Areas Conservancy, and Sustainable Westchester. As another incentive to help grow the “climate activist” community, GridRewards™ users can receive a ten-dollar bonus for every new subscriber they introduce
to the app, simply by having them add their personal code on the application and participate in upcoming events. As an additional benefit, these new subscribers will also receive a ten-dollar “thank you” bonus when they save electricity during the GridRewards™ season.
The greatest rewards generated by GridRewards™ users are being enjoyed by everyone living and working in healthier, more livable environments. It is paying it forward, while earning rewards, when a few small changes can make a big impact. (Submitted)

County celebrates International Transgender Day of Visibility

For the first time, the Westchester County Center lit up and showcased the transgender flag to mark International Transgender Day of Visibility. Celebrated annually on March 31, it’s a day dedicated to transgender people and raising awareness of discrimination faced by the transgender community globally. Local advocate, and LGBTQ Advisory Board member Joann Prinzivalli is sharing her story and spreading her message of acceptance. Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “By recognizing International Transgender Day of Visibility, we are showing a sign of respect for each and every person living, working and visiting our great County. Everyone deserves to have their identity and personhood respected and validated. This is a simple way to show we care about and respect others.” LGBTQ Advisory Board Chair Chris Oldi said: “International Transgender Day of Visibility provides a moment for all of us to reflect upon the important and exceptional accomplishments of our transgender and gender nonconforming friends, as well as remember that there is still work that needs to be done to fight for trans rights. By highlighting this
day at the Westchester County Center, the County Executive continues to signal his unwavering support and respect for the trans community. We thank him, and the County, for continuing to recognize this important day for the LGBTQ+ community.” LGBTQ Advisory Board Member Joann Prinzivalli said: “Being a transgender woman is just like being any other woman. On International Transgender Day of Visibility, it is an opportunity to be out there, show the pride in who we are, and help lift up others, so they too, can feel the pride in being who we are. Thank you to County Executive Latimer for helping to make Westchester County a place where people of all backgrounds can shine and be themselves.” LGBTQ Advisory Board Member Robyn Schlessinger said: “Thank you to County Executive Latimer for his steadfast support of the LGBTQIA+ community and
The LOFT Community Center. It is a pleasure to serve on the County’s LGBTQ Advisory Board and we look forward to even greater collaboration with the County Executive and legislature as conditions surrounding the pandemic appear to be improving.” Executive Director of the LOFT LGBTQ+ Community Center Judy Troilo said: “We are lucky to live in a County where our local government sees and affirms our TGNCNB (transgender, gender non-conforming, and non-binary) community members. Our County Executive has been an outspoken advocate and through real-world work, his actions are making Westchester County a better place for all.” According to World Population Review’s data of the transgender population by state, it is estimated 0.41% of the population in New York State identify as transgender.

MHS students advocate for local workers’ rights As part of a long-term project, a group of students in the Original Civic Research and Action, OCRA, class at Mamaroneck High School is on a mission to educate the community about workers’ rights violations within the Larchmont-Mamaroneck community and increase the reporting of local wage theft. Each year, students in the OCRA class identify community issues, such as workers’ rights violations, with which they wish to study and address with their peers Through conversations with local stakeholders, one group of OCRA students discovered that wage theft—the denial of wages agreed upon, including minimum wage, overtime pay, and tips—is a problem in their own backyards and one that disproportionately affects undocumented workers. The students’ public awareness campaign around
workers’ rights is targeted to both employees and employers. “Lack of education is a major contributing factor to the prevalence of wage theft,” said OCRA group member Ben Kulish. “A large portion of wage theft victims are undocumented workers; we’ve identified that this is primarily due to a lack of knowledge of the rights granted to undocumented citizens as workers. While it is illegal to hire a worker when under the knowledge that they are undocumented, under the Fair Labor Standards Act, once the work has been done, the employee must receive minimum wage regardless of documentation status. This is a significant NYS law that is commonly overlooked or ignored.” In order to increase awareness, and when necessary, the official reporting of wage theft to the Westchester County District Attorney’s
Fordham Univ. raises awareness for student veterans
Office, the OCRA students produced a public service announcement for both local business owners and employees in collaboration with the Mamaroneck Community Resource Center and LMC Media. The PSA emphasizes employers› legal responsibilities and obligations to their employees. Additionally, the OCRA students have an ongoing relationship with the county District Attorney’s Office, which has created a hotline for workers to report infringements on their rights. “We are pleased that the hotline offers a safe resource for potential victims regardless of immigration status. It is an important step towards building trust between local government and undocumented workers,” said group member Léa Barry-Thouez. (Submitted)

U.S. military veterans seeking to further their education may be surprised to learn about the financial benefits of attending a Westchester-based college. The Veterans Benefits Administration’s monthly housing allowance, MHA, is higher for students attending schools or campuses in Westchester County, like Fordham University in Harrison.
U.S. military veterans seeking to further their education may be surprised to learn about the financial benefits of attending a Westchester-based college. The Veterans Benefits Administration’s monthly housing allowance, MHA, is higher for students attending schools or campuses in Westchester County than in many parts of the region, such as the Bronx or Stamford, Connecticut. That has not always been the case, and Fordham University is seeking to raise awareness about the increased stipend and how student veterans can take advantage of the benefits. “Veterans don’t always understand how their education benefits work, and we want to help them maximize their benefits,” said Matt Butler, MSgt. USMC (Ret.), director of Military and Veterans’ Services at Fordham University. “Most students using the GI Bill receive a monthly housing stipend, which is tied to the zip code of the school they are attending, not their home zip code. The MHA for a Westchester-based university has gone up considerably, so Fordham’s Westchester campus is now a much more attractive option for veterans who are coming in under the Yellow Ribbon benefit.”
Fordham’s Yellow Ribbon program covers 100% of the tuition and fees for eligible veterans. The U.S. Department of Defense calculates a basic housing allowance for eligible veterans and service members. The national average is $1,833 per month, but for Westchester the stipend is approximately $3,321—so a student could live in a more affordable area outside of the county and receive the higher payment by commuting to a Westchester campus. By comparison, if that student were to attend school in the Stamford area, for example, the payment would be around $2,727. “Because the GI Bill comes with a stipend in the form of the monthly housing allowance, we know this is a factor in their decision to pursue a degree,” said Butler, adding a number of Fordham’s student veterans have expressed interest in attending the school’s Westchester campus but opted for the Bronx or New York City because of the higher MHA. “Now, Westchester is a much more viable option to get a Fordham degree.” In addition to the Yellow Ribbon program, Fordham University offers a number of services to assist student veterans. The Office of Military and Veterans’ Services works with
individuals transitioning from the military to pursue higher education and become working professionals. “There are many challenges veterans face as they transition to civilian life, and it’s so important they have all the information available to help navigate the system and choose their school location and housing wisely,” said Andrea Marais, associate dean, Strategic Marketing and Enrollment, School of Professional and Continuing Studies at Fordham University. “Veterans deserve every dollar they get and we want to ensure they maximize their benefits to get the best education possible for the sacrifices they’ve made.” Fordham is an approved Yellow Ribbon Program University, which guarantees that all tuition and fees are fully covered for admitted veterans who are classified in the VA’s maximum benefit category of eligibility. Fordham is one of the topranked military-inclusive colleges in New York City and is listed in the top ranks of other leading national publications for military and veterans. It is one of only five universities in New York state to be included in the “Keys to Veterans Success” listing by the U.S. Department of Education. For information, visit www. fordham.edu/info.

Panther rally sinks Broncos BASEBALL

Game Notes: • Evan Janowitz won the game with a walk-off single • Davey Ryan picked up his 1st varsity win in relief • Rye Neck scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 7th inning By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Sometimes, games do live up to their advanced billing. On Saturday, April 2, undefeated baseball teams from Rye Neck and Bronxville squared off in an early-season game that served as a rematch to last June’s thrilling Class B championship contest. But while the Panthers—who topped the Broncos 6-2 for the title last year— were able to earn yet another victory over the visitors this weekend, the sledding was far from easy, as it took a fourrun rally and a walkoff single from
Evan Janowitz to send Rye Neck home with a 6-5 victory. Heading into Saturday’s game, Rye Neck head coach Joe Carlucci said that he and his team spoke about the importance of putting the meeting with Bronxville in perspective. But although he was clear in his attempts to frame the matchup as nothing more than an early-April non-league game, he knew it would be tough sell for his players. “In the discussion before the game the idea was not to worry about it being a section final rematch, but they certainly knew that it is,” said Carlucci. “We have a lot of new guys, we had a lot to replace from last year, but they showed up to play.” Early on, however, it seemed as though that emotionally charged atmosphere may have worked to the Panthers’ detriment. A few costly defensive miscues helped the Broncos jump out to a 3-0 lead against Rye Neck starter Sam Dalsimer, who was otherwise effective against a potent Bronxville lineup. For their part, the Broncos kept the Panthers off the board until the bottom of the fifth inning when Dalsimer helped his own cause by driving in two runs to draw his team to within one. In the top of the fifth,
however, the Broncos plated two more against eight-grade reliever Davey Ryan to carry a 5-2 lead into the final frame. And that’s when the Panthers came alive. Capitalizing on a walks and errors, the Panthers tied the game up at 5-5 on a base hit by Luke Murphy, which set up Janowitz’s decisive at bat which saw the sophomore rip a single to left field to bring home the winning run. Janowitz insisted after the game that he didn’t have much of a strategy heading into his final plate appearance. “I was just trying to smash it,’ he said. “I just wanted to hit it hard, bring in the run and win the game.” Bronxville (2-1) will look to move on from the loss this week with games against Valhalla and Roosevelt on the docket. At 2-0, the Panthers will look to build on this come-from-behind win as they face tests against Edgemont and the Vikings on Thursday and Friday, after press time. “This was a good win,” said Carlucci. “These guys played hard throughout, they never gave up, so they get all the credit.”

Two Yonkers teens sentenced to state prison Westchester County District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah announced that two Yonkers teens who engaged in a gunfight on a Yonkers street were sentenced for shooting a six-year-old bystander in the chest. On March 29, 2022, an 18-year-old adolescent offender was sentenced to 10 years in state prison, with five years of post-release supervision. A 16-year-old juvenile co-offender was sentenced to 3 to 9 years in state prison. Both defendants pled guilty to Assault in the First Degree, a violent felony. “An innocent young child was
left in critical condition after being shot by these two defendants who opened fire on a city street,” Rocah said. “There is no place for gun violence in Westchester County and we will continue to hold those who commit acts of violence such as this accountable to the fullest extent possible under the law. We are grateful the victim survived and we hope these sentences bring an additional measure of healing to the victim and his family.” On April 29, 2021, at approximately 6:03 p.m., the defendants each fired multiple shots at two in-
dividuals striking the six-year-old bystander in the chest. The shooting resulted in the victim suffering a punctured left lung, two rib fractures and a small splenic laceration. The victim was transported to Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, where he underwent life-saving surgery. The Yonkers Police Department arrested the defendants shortly after the incident. The case was before Judge Helen Blackwood in Youth Part, and was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Catalina Blanco Buitrago. (Submitted)

Bronxville High School freshmen and sophomores earned top awards at the 2022 Lower Hudson Valley Regional National History Day Competition, held virtually on March 23. “They will be competing in the states competition in April,” said teacher Dana Landesman, who oversees the program with Kris Hart and Christina Reidel. “We are so proud and excited for our students.” Having conducted extensive historical research on a topic of their choice over the last several months, the students’ authentic work focused on the 2021-22 theme of “Debate & Diplomacy in History: Successes, Failures, Consequences.” Their work was displayed in one of five ways – paper, website, documentary, performance or exhibit. At the regional competition, the students were interviewed by professors and scholars and articulated what they’ve discovered through their historical research. Congratulations to the following students who have advanced to the state competition in these categories. (Submitted)

New dietary guidelines 5 things nutrition experts want you to know New federal dietary guidelines encourage Americans to focus more on eating healthy throughout life, to be flexible in their eating patterns and to cut down on empty calories. The recommendations — released every five years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services — are designed to promote nutrition and prevent chronic disease. “The high prevalence of diabetes, cancer and heart disease could be reduced if people ate better,” said Judith Wylie-Rosett, a professor of health promotion and nutrition research at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City. “Chronic diseases are often related to obesity and poor nutritional habits.” Here are five important takeaways from nutrition experts: There’s flexibility The recommendations emphasize that healthy eating comes in many forms and can be adjusted to fit cultural traditions, personal tastes and different budgets. Swapping out red meat, for example, doesn’t mean people have to force down their least-favorite source of protein. “You can go with a plantbased diet or eat seafood, poultry and legumes rather than red meat,” said Penny Kris-Etherton, a distinguished professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State University in University Park. The new focus on customization based on culture, budget and personal preference is a departure from the guideline’s past one-size-fits-all approach to healthy eating.
Limit empty calories For the first time, the guidelines say children under 2 should completely avoid foods and drinks with added sugars, such as cake, ice cream and fruit drinks. But the guidance for added sugars otherwise remains unchanged, despite a report last summer from the dietary guidelines advisory committee that called for everyone ages 2 and older to cut consumption to 6% of daily calories, down from the currently recommended 10%. Similarly, the guidelines stuck with previous advice on alcohol — no more than two drinks per day for men and one for women in adults who choose to drink. Sugar is often added to a variety of foods where you might not expect it, including bottled spaghetti sauce, ketchup, breads and cereals. It’s important to read nutrition labels and select foods accordingly, Kris-Etherton said. It’s never too late The guidelines for the first time outline recommendations “by life stage, from birth through older adulthood.” For example, babies should exclusively have breast milk for the first six months of life. If breastfeeding isn’t an option, babies should be fed an iron-fortified infant formula. In addition, the guidelines recognize that people 60 and older have slightly different nutritional needs. For instance, vitamin B12 deficiencies are more common in older people, so older adults are urged to eat the recommended amount of protein, a common source of B12, as well as B12-fortified foods.
How do we “make every bite count”?
Follow a healthy dietary pattern at every life stage. It’s never too early or too late to improve food and beverage choices.
Focus on meeting food group needs with nutrientdense foods and beverages, and stay within calorie limits.
Look at big picture Foods are not eaten in isolation but in a wide array of combinations over time – a dietary pattern. The idea, Wylie-Rosett said, is to eat a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables rather than focusing on specific nutrients. For example, beta carotene is a plant pigment and antioxidant found in carrots and other vegetables. “There are over 600 carot-
Customize nutrientdense food and beverage choices to reflect personal preferences, cultural traditions, and budgetary considerations.
Limit foods and beverages higher in added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium, and limit alcoholic beverages.
enoids, but the only one we talk about is beta carotene,” she said. “We’ve created our nutrient guides to avoid deficiencies, (but) what we need to do is focus on optimal health.” To that end, the guidelines recommend people vary their source of protein, fill half their plate with a mix of different fruits and vegetables, select low-fat dairy or soy alternatives, and avoid foods high in sugar, saturated fat
and sodium. Make it count The theme of the 164-page guideline is to “make every bite count.” That means avoiding high-calorie junk foods such as potato chips, cookies and calorie-laden (and nutrient-poor) fast foods in favor of healthier options, Kris-Etherton said. Think whole grains, fruits and vegetables; vegetable oils instead of butter or coconut oil; and low-fat dairy and
leaner proteins. “When you fill up on all the right foods, you don’t want the other foods, because you’re full and satisfied,” Kris-Etherton said. And the benefits multiply, she said. People will likely sleep better, be less stressed and have more energy to exercise. “It just goes on and on,” she said. “Good nutrition really helps with overall well-being.”
SPORTS Spring storylines popping up LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
We may only be about two weeks into the spring season, but it sure looks like we could be in for a wild one. Admittedly, I’ve never been much for predictions; I’ve probably lost a good number more sports bets than I’ve hit on. But through the early-goings of the 2022 campaign, it seems pretty clear to me that there are more than enough storylines worth watching as this season rolls on. In the boys lacrosse landscape, there are fewer stories more pressing than the burgeoning buzz-saw that is Briarcliff. The 2021 Class C Section I champs have shown no signs of let-up this spring, quickly emerging as the team to beat in the area. And how did they do that? By getting the best of two of the dominant larger schools—Mamaroneck
and Rye—in the first 14 days of the season. These games alone beget some questions: how will Mamaroneck and Rye rebound and grow from these losses and can anyone beat the Bears? Although Briarcliff may not face much in the way of in-section opposition following their opening tilts against the Garnets and Tigers there’s one matchup that lacrosse fans already have circle on their calendars; a May 9 showdown with Class D Bronxville. Although the Broncos may not have come into the season with as much press as the Bears, the early returns have been overwhelmingly positive; two decisive wins over Catholic league powers Iona and Stepinac. On the girls side of the lacrosse landscape, Class B is also shaping up to be an interesting race with a few local teams, Harrison and Rye, getting off to stellar starts. The Huskies—who were a no. 10 seed in last year’s playoffs—are showing signs of a turnaround this year, racing out
to a 4-0 start. The Garnets, who underwent something of a transitional year in 2021 have been similarly impressive, scoring 20 goals in each of their first two games. We’ve gotten wild walk-off wins in baseball, a heap of young talent on the softball diamond, and enough intriguing league races across all of our field sports to ensure that I will not be lacking for content in the coming weeks. These teams may just be only starting to figure out exactly who they are, but watching them go through that process is going to be darned exciting. We’re still trying to predict what these end-of-the-year pushes are going to look like, but if the early signs are any indication, there will be much jockeying for position come mid-May. So let’s strap in for an engaging next few weeks. I think it’s going to be a pretty wild time.
