County marks 12th year of ‘Caregiver Coaching’ program Are you looking for meaningful volunteer work? Do you want to contribute to an award-winning community support program? If so, consider becoming a volunteer with the Livable Communities Caregiver Coaching, L3C, Program, an initiative from the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services, DSPS. A Caregiver Coach is a volunteer trained by professionals to provide one-on-one support to family caregivers and help them understand their options. As a result, caregivers are better prepared to make informed decisions to meet the challenges and responsibilities of caring for an older or disabled person. Caregiver Coaching falls under the big umbrella of the DSPS’ national award-winning Livable Communities initiative, which has been identified by AARP as one of the three model programs of its type in the
U.S. By recruiting and training Caregiver Coaches, the initiative aims to make Westchester communities as senior-friendly as possible so older adults can remain in their homes as they age with dignity, independence and civic involvement. Caregiver Coaching directly helps to meet that goal by supporting those who care for seniors. Westchester County Executive George Latimer said the success of the county’s Caregiver Coaching program is a testament to the growing need for caregiver support here in the County. “Our residents are living longer, and that is good news,” Latimer said. “However, that means that many of our seniors will be living with chronic illnesses that require the help of caregivers. The Caregiver Coaching program is designed to assist caregivers in Westchester in the role they play by providing much
needed support, as well as vital information about programs and services in the County. We need as many volunteers as possible to help make a difference in the quality of life for people in their communities.” Caregiver Coach candidates may have caregiver experience, but it is not required. Caregiver Coaches are stabilizing forces and sounding boards, so the prospective coach should be optimistic, empathetic and non-judgmental. They do not take the place of professionals in the field or do caregiver tasks themselves, nor do they offer medical or legal advice. Fordham University’s Ravazzin Center on Aging has developed the curriculum for this program which is taught by professionals, such as social workers, nurses and geriatric care managers. The training will provide volunteers with basic information such as “Understanding the
Aging Process” and “Challenges Caregivers Face.” Since its inception, the Caregiver Coaching program has had a strong advocate in DSPS Commissioner Mae Carpenter. “At one time families were larger and society was less mobile,” Carpenter said. “That meant there were always adult children and other relatives who could care for aging family members. But today not only are families smaller, but the adult children may live in another state. As a result, there’s a void that needs to be filled by caring neighbors and people.” In addition to DSPS, the L3C Caregiver Coaching program is sponsored by the Westchester Public/Private Partnership for Aging Services and Fordham University’s Ravazzin Center on Aging.

On April 5, Gov. Andrew Cuomo today announced the start of the statewide “Roll Up Your Sleeve” ad campaign to encourage all New Yorkers, especially those from neighborhoods where COVID was most devastating, to get vaccinated. The ads will be shown on television and online statewide beginning April 7. The ads were directed by “Contagion” screenplay writer Scott Burns, and shot at New York City’s Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. This effort comes as universal eligibility for the COVID-19 vaccine goes into effect and all New Yorkers 16-years-of-age and older are eligible to receive the vaccine starting April 6. This comes nearly a month earlier than President Biden’s May 1 deadline for states to enact universal eligibility. “The vaccine is the weapon that will win the war, but only if we all take it, and starting April 6, all New Yorkers age 16 and older will be able to get vaccinated,” Cuomo said. “Since the start of this critical phase of our fight against COVID, we have made it our top priority to bring the vaccine to the communities that were
hit the hardest by the virus, and with the ‘Roll Up Your Sleeve’ campaign, we are helping ensure that no community gets left behind in the vaccine distribution process. As universal eligibility goes into effect, we will continue to work with local leaders to make sure all New Yorkers have access to our vaccination sites. I also want to remind everyone that universal eligibility for the vaccine does not mean we are back to business as usual. The truth is millions of our neighbors still need to get their shot, and we are still in a footrace against the infection rate, so it is imperative that we do not let down our guard and we continue exercising safety protocols. New York’s vast distribution network and large population of eligible individuals still far exceed the supply coming from the federal government. Due to limited supply, New Yorkers are encouraged to remain patient and are advised not to show up at vaccination sites without an appointment. As of right now, people 16 and 17 years of age can only receive the Pfizer vaccine. (Submitted)

Westchester celebrates national Fair Housing Month In recognition of the month of April as National Fair Housing Month, Westchester County Executive George Latimer is introducing a video series to discuss the importance of fair and affordable housing oppor-
tunities in Westchester. Fair Housing Month celebrates the passage of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, a national law that prohibits discrimination in the sale, rental or financing of housing based on race, reli-
gion or gender. The video series is designed to demystify the issues surrounding affordable housing, and explain the importance of furthering fair housing throughout Westchester County.
The video series is a product of the county’s Housing Needs Assessment from 2019, which called for a continued education on fair and affordable housing. Since Latimer took office in 2018, the county has allocated millions of dollars in each county budget to develop and rehabilitate affordable housing
units. To date, more than 2,000 affordable housing units have been either built or occupied, went under construction or have their land use and funding in place to begin development. “Every Westchester County resident deserves to have a safe, comfortable place to call home,” County Executive
In recognition of the month of April as National Fair Housing Month, Westchester County Executive George Latimer is introducing a video series to discuss the importance of fair and affordable housing opportunities in Westchester.
George Latimer said. “Our responsibility as a County government is to make sure that the opportunity for fair and affordable housing is always there. That is why April is Fair Housing Month. It doesn’t matter what demographic you may fall into, but we need to have a range of people and we need to have them all living in this County. It is our job to make sure that housing is available, that it is fair and accessible for everybody, and that it is affordable. This is about a critical need that people have, and we are helping people when we can get them into decent housing that they can afford. That is why this is important to me.” If you are interested in pursuing a fair and affordable rental or homeownership opportunity in Westchester, visit the county’s Homeseeker Website. Homeseeker identifies the affordable housing units that are available based on location, and notifies those who qualify when a new home becomes available.

Symposium to focus on younger dementia caregivers “My wife’s father was diagnosed in 2013 with early-onset Alzheimers. At the time, we were still in college getting ready to graduate,” said Cody Medina, community engagement manager, diversity specialist for the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter. “I didn’t have much support. I felt like there wasn’t enough conversation about this topic at college. So I thought there have to be so many younger caregivers in my position that feel the same way.” Medina is the organizer of the Hudson Valley Chapter’s younger caregiver symposium, “A Glimpse into the Life of a Younger Caregiver,” which will be held virtually from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 7. Medina said it is a common assumption that younger people are less affected by dementia. “Whenever people think of caregivers, they automatically assume it is someone who is a bit older…generally individuals over 45,” Medina siad. “With the younger caregiver symposium, we’re essentially tailoring our focus to individuals 18-45.” “The overall purpose is letting people know that they are not alone. There’s a community of people around them going through similar situations,” he added, noting that the event will also seek to make younger caregivers aware of the programs and services offered by the Alzhei-
mer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter. The virtual symposium will include presentations from three featured speaker-panelists. Amy LaFleur, a speech language pathologist for the New York City Department of Education, will talk about the millennial caregiving experience; Teresa Santos, behavioral health care manager for the Memory Disorders Center and Montefiore Center for the Aging Brain, will speak on fears millennials have about Alzheimer’s; and Dr. Jessica Zwerling, associate director of neurology for Montefiore Center for the Aging Brain, will speak about healthy aging and caregiver stress. There will also be an educational presentation on Healthy Living for the Brain and Body. LaFleur got involved with the symposium through her work as president of the Young Professionals Alzheimer’s Council, YPAC, an organization affiliated with the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter for people under 40 who are devoted to the cause. YPAC holds networking events, fundraisers and other activities to help those living with dementia and their caregivers. LaFleur’s presentation will highlight demographic information on millennial caregivers as well as some of the challenges younger caregivers face socially, financially and educationally.
Caregiving became important to LaFleur, both from a personal and career standpoint in 2012, when her mother was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Aphasia. Since then, she and her father have been active caregivers. LaFleur said it can be difficult for younger caregivers to find a balance between their life and caregiving for a loved one in need. “Millennials are most likely to be working while caregiving.” LaFleur said, “Younger caregivers are less likely to share with their employer that they are spending all this energy and time—on average over 20 hours a week—caring for someone in their family.” She added that this can result in decreased time management skills, leading to negative feedback professionally, such as being passed over for promotions. But she also noted that millennials are resilient and comfortable finding assistance online. “As a whole, millennials are more willing to seek out resources, look for more information and formulate their own social circles,” LaFleur said. Since the symposium is virtual for the second year in a row, younger caregivers are able to easily access it on the web. “You can access the event on your phone, laptop, iPad. It’s a very adaptable type of platform to utilize,” Medina said. “I can’t wait for that day.” To register for the symposium, call the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter at 800.272.3900 (Submitted)

County offers free rabies vaccines for pets
Westchester County residents can bring their dogs, cats and ferrets in for free rabies vaccinations on Sunday, April 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Westchester County residents can bring their dogs, cats and ferrets in for free rabies vaccinations on Sunday, April 25 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Stamen Animal Hospital, 61 Quaker Ridge Road in New Rochelle. Appointments are required. Call 632-1269 for more information. An adult must supervise all pets. Stamen Hospital staff will come outside to bring your pet into the animal hospital. Cats and ferrets must be in carriers and dogs must be on a leash. Aggressive dogs must be muzzled. No examinations will be given. Under New York State law, dogs and cats must receive their first rabies vaccine no later than four months after birth. A second rabies shot must be given within one year of the first vaccine, with additional booster shots given every one or three years after that, depending on the vaccine used.
Owners who fail to get their pets vaccinated and keep their vaccinations up-to-date may be fined up to $2,000. Rabies is a fatal disease that spreads through the bite or saliva of infected animals. Those animals most commonly infected are raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes. However, domestic animals such as cats and dogs are also at risk because they can easily contract rabies from wild or stray animals. A pet that is up-to-date with its rabies vaccinations would only need a booster dose of vaccine within five days of the pet’s exposure to a known or suspect rabid animal. Animals not upto-date with rabies vaccinations would be quarantined or euthanized following contact with a rabid or suspect-rabid animal. A change in an animal’s behavior is often the first sign of ra-
bies. A rabid animal may become either abnormally aggressive or unusually tame. It may lose fear of people and become docile, or become excited and irritable. Infected animals sometimes stagger, spit and froth at the mouth. Children should be discouraged from touching unfamiliar animals, and to tell an adult right away if they have been bitten or scratched by an animal. All animal bites or contact with animals suspected of having rabies must be reported to the Westchester County Health Department at 813-5000. After hours, callers should follow instructions in the recorded message for reporting public health emergencies 24 hours a day. To learn more about rabies and its prevention, visit the Health Department’s website at www. westchestergov.com/health. (Submitted)

puts COVID-19 on the bench
Members of the New York Knicks Executive Team participated in a public service announcement put together by Westchester County encouraging people to get the COVID-19 vaccine. “I want to thank the New York Knicks and MSG for helping us show the public that the COVID-19 vaccines are safe,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “This latest PSA is all about normalizing and encouraging the vaccine process—which is open now to most New Yorkers. All of us miss being able to go to a Knicks game—but getting vaccinated is another step on the road to packing the stands and cheering our hometown team on again.” Recorded moments after receiving their own vaccine at Westchester Community College, the members spoke about why they wanted to get the vaccine and their hope for others to sign up and make appointments, just like they did. All three were age eligible at the time of receiving their first dose at the Valhalla campus, operated by Westchester County. New York Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau said, “I think it’s an important step to take, to get all of our lives back to normal… you’re not only helping yourself, you’re helping all of those people around you.” Leon Rose, president of the Knicks, said, “ I really think this step of getting the vaccination is a step for everybody to move forward.” And Scott Perry, Knicks’ general manager, said, “The more of us that are vaccinated, the better chance we have of defeating this virus together, because it’s going to take all of us together.” This latest PSA is part of an ongoing campaign launched in January encouraging the vaccine across the county. The New York Knicks training facility is located in Greenburgh. (Submitted)

Health Notes
Cue the music Calming us down or revving us up, music can be good for the heart
Stuck in traffic, with a nasty storm making a stressful commute even worse, Joanne Loewy reached for the car radio. “I felt my heartbeat rise,” said Loewy, director of the Louis Armstrong Center for Music and Medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York City. “So I switched to the Bach cello suite in my ‘traffic burden’ playlist. I just … said, ‘I’m not going to worry. I’m just going to breathe and release it all.’” At the other end of the metronome, Dr. David Alter, who studies the use of music in promoting cardiac health, uses the Rolling Stones to help him power through a workout. “It’s almost like a medicine,” said Alter, a cardiologist at University Health Network in Toronto, and a senior scientist at its KITE Research Institute. “Our research, recently published in the journal Psychology of Sport and Exercise, has
shown that music can distract us from the pain of exercise. That’s why we may be able to exercise longer or more intensively with music.” Such is the therapeutic power of music. Even in ancient times, Greek physicians used flutes and stringed instruments for healing. Today, researchers are still sorting out the health benefits. “There is an overall perception that music does us good,” Alter said. “But we need to prove it scientifically. I do think we’re getting more rigorous in our scientific approach.” Recent studies underscore the point. A 2020 study published in the Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery showed music therapy eased pain, anxiety and depression among people recovering from coronary bypass surgery. Similarly, people with episodes of chest pain soon after a heart attack who listened
to music for 30 minutes a day over seven years reported less anxiety and chest pain – and had a lower rate of cardiac death – than those who did not. Those preliminary findings were released last March at the American College of Cardiology’s virtual conference. A 2018 study in Scientific Reports even suggests music therapy could make high blood pressure medication more effective. In general, Alter said, there are two schools of thought about why music is effective. “One says the music itself can stimulate all the healthy hormones and body functions to lower blood pressure and improve heart rates,” he said. “But the other school of thought says it’s really the behaviors we’re doing that are helping our heart, and music is just helping us improve those behaviors.” The latter argument, Alter

said, is especially true for one of the most important things people can do for their heart: exercise. “We know that exercise is a game changer in terms of survival, longevity and quality of life,” he said. “I don’t think those are governed directly by the music, but music can help us with those healthy lifestyle choices and behaviors, and they improve our heart function.” The rhythms of music, Loewy said, can influence breathing, which also affects heart function. Besides the benefits of lowering stress, she said, “breathing and heart rates go hand in hand. We know if we can slow the pulmonary function and have stronger inhalations where more oxygen is absorbed in the blood, we’ll have better cardiac outcomes.” The clear conclusion, Loewy said, is music should be part of everyone’s health plan. Her
center serves people of all ages and many conditions, from developmentally delayed children to young people with emotional issues and adults with chronic illnesses. “Every person may benefit from a different kind of music based on their culture, their past history, their genes and their resilience,” she said. “A music therapist can help figure out what is healthiest for you.” Even without consulting a professional, healthy people can put music to work for them every day — and night. Find the right accompaniment to charge up a workout, then play a more soothing tune to ease into a good night’s sleep. “I like Eminem, but it activates me. So, I know I shouldn’t be listening to that before I go to sleep,” said Loewy, who suggests turning off TVs and devices an hour before bedtime. “Find some music that relaxes you.”

Health Notes
Old habits die hard The secret to good health is no secret, so why is it so hard to achieve?
It ought to be a no-brainer, so to speak: Research has pinpointed seven ways people can achieve ideal heart and brain health. And — bonus — if Americans did those things, they also could help prevent many other chronic illnesses. But most people don’t, at least not consistently. What’s stopping them? “Most of these steps require a great deal of self-regulation and self-control,” said Dolores Albarracin, a professor of psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “It’s not just getting one thing done, like going to get a vaccine, where you can do it and forget about it for a year.” Volumes of research point to at least seven behaviors, called Life’s Simple 7, that can dramatically lower the burden of heart disease, stroke and dementia. Not smoking, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, and keeping blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol levels in a healthy range have the potential to collectively wipe out a vast majority of heart disease and stroke and prevent or delay a significant number of dementias. “If it were simple, heart disease event rates would be down by 80% since rough-
ly 80% of heart disease is preventable,” as are 80% of strokes, said Dr. Roger Blumenthal, director of the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Baltimore. Part of the problem, he said, is the pace of modern life and the number of responsibilities people already are juggling. “It’s hard for people to stay motivated in the society in which we live and to make time for things like exercise,” he said. “We have to repackage all the knowledge we have and put it into actionable, shorter messages and provide resources that motivate people.” Blumenthal recommends breaking down goals into smaller actions that feel achievable. For example, if finding large blocks of time to exercise seems too hard, he advises people to weave 10-minute exercise breaks throughout their day. Likewise, with weight loss. “Ask yourself where you can cut out 300-400 calories a day.” People often have greater success with taking medication to lower cholesterol and blood pressure, Blumenthal said. But even that isn’t always simple. Inadequate health insur-

We have to repackage all the knowledge we have and put it into actionable, shorter messages and provide resources that motivate people.” Dr. Roger Blumenthal, director of the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Baltimore
ance or lack of access to care can make it difficult for people to take medications regularly, said Dr. Tracy Madsen, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. These inequities are most prevalent among those from marginalized racial and ethnic groups who often bear the biggest burden of disease. They also may face other inequities, such as a lack of easy access to recreational space or convenient, affordable places to buy healthy foods. Another big reason people struggle is many steps toward better health involve cutting out, or cutting back, pleasur-
able activities, Albarracin said. “You’re not asking people to simply incorporate a new habit, you’re also asking them to fight something that has been quite rewarding in the past,” she said. “We eat yummy foods because they are yummy.” Albarracin led a study published in Health Psychology Review that analyzed 150 research reports about healthy behavior change. It found people were more likely to succeed in making changes if they stuck to one of two similar actions — focusing on things they needed to do or things they needed to stop doing — but not both. “The way our psychologi-
cal makeup works is we tend to be in action mode or inaction mode,” she said. “Exercising more and eating more vegetables are both actions moving in the same direction, versus exercising more and eating less fat, which is one positive thing and one negative thing.” Changing behavior can require reframing thinking and goals, Albarracin said. “There are ways to use questions to stop yourself. If you’re at a restaurant and the server brings a tray of desserts and asks you which one you want, ask yourself instead if you should be eating dessert at all. Introduce the idea of ‘no’ being an answer.”

Two shining moments LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Just because I’m sometimes a sports cynic doesn’t mean I don’t happen to be right a good deal of the team. On Monday night, the Baylor Bears captured the 2021 NCAA Championship with an 86-70 romp over the Gonzaga Bulldogs. The game was one of the more hotly anticipated finals matchups in recent NCAA Tournament memory. With two top seeds clashing in the championship round following one of the more memorable semifinal games ever played, it was a foregone conclusion that the nation’s eyes would be glued to every moment of the action broadcast by CBS. But in my heart of hearts, I just knew it was going to be a dud of a game, and boy was I proven right. I think part of the reason I turned on Monday night’s game with a skeptical eye is because of the inevitable disappointment that
sequels. As most film fans can tell you, most movie sequels— especially follow-ups to hugely popular flicks—are disappointing in some way. Sure, the attitude towards sequels is changing these days; mostly because many sequels are now part of a larger in-film universe as opposed to stand alone features, but for many years, prevailing thought said that sequels were simply attempts to recreate the formula mapped out by the original film, often with diminishing returns. The mediocrity of re-treads like “Jaws 2,” “Caddyshack 2” and the incessant parade of “Dumb and Dumber” flicks were bad, sure, but they were viewed even more harshly because they tried—and failed— to capture what made the original pictures hits in the first place. And that’s how I felt about Monday night’s game. On Saturday night, sports fans were treated to one of the most epic tournament games in history, as top-seeded Gonzaga outlasted the No. 11 UCLA Bruins 93-90 in an undeniably special
game. A back-and-forth game that seemed destined for a second overtime period before the Zags’ Jalen Suggs pulled up for a buzzer beating bank shot from just inside the half court line, the semifinal game had everyone—not just sports fans—talking the next day. Even my father, who has never been much of a college basketball fan, was raving about Gonzaga’s win as he vowed to tune into the entirety of the game on Monday night. But with such high expectations—and such a tough act to follow—Monday’s game was always destined to be a letdown. Which is not to say it wasn’t watchable; there were plenty of intriguing storylines, including Baylor’s first-ever national title and a wonderful team defensive performance by the Bears. But the eventual champions took control right from the outset on Monday night, going on a 21-5 run to start the game. The outcome was never in doubt after that point, and fans waiting for a thrilling finish were in for a let down.
On April 5, the Baylor Bears beat Gonzaga 86-70 to win the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship at Lucas Oil Stadium. Although the finals were a bit of a dud, we were treated to some indelible moments along the way. Photo courtesy Wikipedia
It reminded me of “Blues Brothers 2000”—or at least the 2004 World Series where the Red Sox walked all over the hapless Cardinals after pulling out an ALCS win over the Yankees in dramatic come-from-behind fashion.
So as we put the NCAA basketball season to bed, we will always remember Baylor as the champs in this strange pandemic year. But the indelible moment of the tournament will forever be Jalen Suggs’ shot and Gonzaga’s semifinal celebration.
Hopefully we’ll remember the thrill of the “Excellent Adventure” and not the finale of the “Bogus Journey.”

Rye rallies to top Huskers FOOTBALL
non league
RYE 20 YORKTOWN 10 RYE HS
4/3/21
Game Notes: • Caden Whaling led with 2 rushing TDs • Owen Kovacs threw a TD pass to Lucas Perez-Segini • Rye improves to 3-0
By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Although they may have waited a year and a half, the Rye Garnets squared off against their 2019 Section I Championship Game foes from Yorktown on April 3, looking to earn another victory over a Huskers’ team they beat for their last sectional title. On Saturday, the score might have been a bit tighter, but the Garnets still came out on top, utilizing a strong second half to come away with a 20-10 victory. Caden Whaling, one of the few returning starters on either team from the 2019 game said that this week’s matchup took on extra significance given the fact that Rye’s veterans knew that Yorktown would be looking for some measure of revenge. “It feels great winning this rematch and it always feels good to come out on top,” said Whaling, who rushed for two touchdowns in the Rye win. “Feelings from last year’s section championship were definitely passed down this week and I think the whole team was feeling it, whether they were there for that game or not.” Rye entered Saturday night’s showdown as the favorite, but it was the Huskers who struck first, finding the end zone on their first drive of the game after quarterback Justin Meyerles hit Grant Makar for a 60-yard pass that set up a Makar touchdown run a few plays later. Rye would even things up on a Whaling touchdown, but Yorktown was able to march down the field in the closing minutes of the half to set up a Vincente
Lyon field goal to send Rye to the locker room trailing 10-7. But Rye’s defense regrouped in the second half, keeping the Huskers out of the end zone thanks to contributions by a number of Garnets, including Liam Lavelle and Ryan Surhoff, who both managed drive-killing interceptions. “Most of the guys stepped up in that second half,” Surhoff said. “I know I made some stupid mistakes in the first half and that was on me, so I just wanted to help lead my team back to the defense we knew we could play.” Whaling put Rye ahead with his second touchdown run of the night, but it was a 25-yard touchdown pass from Owen Kovacs to Lucas Perez-Segini that ultimately put the game out of reach. The win was significant as it marked the home opener for the Garnets, playing for the first time at the newly renovated Nugent Stadium. “We wanted to defend our home stadium,” Surhoff said. “They wanted to come at us hard, they put a body on a body, but we fought back harder.”
