Bowman, Latimer celebrate bringing federal funds to county U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Westchester County Executive George Latimer on Wednesday celebrated the conclusion of this year’s outreach process for federal appropriations requests, which resulted in Bowman submitting more than $300 billion in total federal funding requests on behalf of constituents in NY-16. “I’m grateful to County Executive Latimer and representatives of Westchester who made this such a successful outreach process,” Bowman said. “Our goal is to show our constituents what can happen when government works for them—and this appropriations season, which resulted in hundreds of proposals for funding to go directly to the district, is an example of what true cross-collaboration in the community looks like.”
“Working with all levels of government to provide ample resources for the people of Westchester is a hallmark of my administration that nets results that impact the daily lives of the people of our County. I am proud to work with Congressman Bowman during this vital timeframe to advocate for these game changing projects that would advance the quality of life in our community,” Latimer said. The requests Bowman submitted included increased funding for childcare, community development, public schools, firefighters, Medicare, medical research, refugee resettlement and environmental remediation, and many of the requests would benefit Westchester residents directly, including: Increased funding for the
Community Development Block Grant program ($4.2 billion), which supports important community and economic development initiatives across the county, a request which came directly from Westchester County government. Increased funding for essential federal food security programs to support Westchester families struggling with food access during the pandemic, including increasing funding for SNAP, WIC and the school breakfast program. Community project funding requests to support local initiatives in Westchester County aimed at closing the educational achievement gap in New Rochelle, enhancing Telehealth services for seniors, addressing sewage issues in Mount Vernon, rehabilitating a
senior center in Mamaroneck and affordable housing in Yonkers, and closing disparities in swim access. The House Appropriations and Transportation and Infrastructure Committees will be meeting over the next several months to determine which requests ultimately receive funding. For the first time this year, members of Congress had the opportunity to submit 10 Community Project Funding requests to provide direct support to nonprofits and local entities in the district. In addition, Bowman submitted a total of seven Member Designated Projects requests that cover a range of transportation priorities including pedestrian safety for schoolchildren, infrastructure upgrades, and clean transportation projects.

Initiated earlier this year, an agreement has been finalized for Iona College to acquire Concordia College’s 28-acre campus in Bronxville. Concordia will cease academic instruction before the start of the Fall 2021 semester. The announcement sets the stage for Iona to pursue plans for a school of health sciences on the Concordia campus, furthering Iona’s strategic investment in the field and building upon Concordia’s legacy of excellence in health science education. The deal also creates opportunities for Iona to introduce new student programming in the performing arts, varsity and club athletics and other extracurricular activities, areas where Iona has successfully been engaging students around shared interests. Concordia President Rev. John A. Nunes, Ph.D., said: “As we honor Concordia’s rich, meaningful, relevant legacy, we look with hope to a time of new beginnings: for our graduates, our students, and Iona’s exciting plans for the Concordia campus, all fueled by the transformative power of education,” Concordia President Rev. John A. Nunes said, Ph.D.Founded in 1940 by the Congregation of Christian Brothers, Iona is a 45-acre campus in northern New Rochelle, located approximately three miles from Concordia. Both institutions have a shared commitment to providing students with a nurturing environment to explore their interests, discover their passions and graduate with a well-rounded, liberal arts education grounded in service, opportunity and Christian faith. In addition to leading the way and providing a safe in-person learning experience through the
pandemic, Iona this year forged ahead on its path of innovation. Empowering students to “Learn Outside the Lines,” Iona focused on engaging students in new opportunities that pushed them to grow beyond the classroom. “Concordia will forever leave its mark on the history and people of New York,” Iona President Dr. Seamus Carey said. “Iona is an institution similarly grounded in faith, and it is our intention to fully honor Concordia’s legacy as we turn the page to a new chapter. With plans to develop a leading school of health sciences on the Concordia campus, Iona hopes to turn these challenging circumstances into a positive development for the students and communities we serve.” As part of that effort, Iona hired its inaugural director of Performing Arts, who quickly launched and strengthened programs such as Irish Step, Dance Ensemble, Pipe Band and Pep Band; as well as its first director of Club Sports, who will be developing an array of new athletic opportunities. With the addition of the Concordia campus, Iona is poised to offer even more exciting programs that will help to support and develop the whole student. “Engaged students get more out of their college experience,” Carey said. “Engagement outside the classroom supports better performance inside the classroom and promotes physical, mental and spiritual maturity. It also leads to lasting relationships that will help them succeed in life. We couldn’t be more excited about the future at Iona, and today is an important step along that path.” (Submitted)

Department of Correction holds dedication ceremony On May 7, as part of National Correctional Professionals Week, the Westchester County Department of Correction, WCDOC, held a dedication ceremony honoring 63 employees who passed away while in service with the Department during its 52-year history. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan signed a proclamation to annually recog-
nize correction professionals for the work they do in jails, prisons and community corrections across the country. This year, to commemorate National Correctional Professionals Week, WCDOC will be dedicating a monument and memorial bench at their main jail plaza, to serve as a constant reminder of the significant contributions made by those
employees who died while in service to the county.“Dedicating the monument and memorial bench is part of a collaborative effort to honor the contributions that our faithful colleagues made to advance WCDOC during their careers and to reassure family members that their loved ones remain in our thoughts and prayers,” Commissioner Joseph
Spano said. “I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside most of these men and women and remember firsthand how their passing impacted ever level of our workforce. With County Executive Latimer’s support and in conjunction with our partners we now have a permanent reminder of their great friendships and everlasting memories.” The 63 dedicated men and women who passed while in county services at WCDOC are comprised of 48 correction officers, seven captains, seven sergeants and one commissioner. “This memorial bench represents the boldest of our County workers, who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our local communities,” Westchester
County Executive George Latimer said. “Their memory will be a reminder for all who follow in their footsteps, who provide safe and secure custody and rehabilitation services for those sentenced at the County jail, women’s unit and penitentiary.” President of the Correction Officers Union said Neil Pellone added, “This dedication fulfills a commitment and vision started by the founder of our annual memorial ride, former Correction Officer Scott Delfa. It’s also an opportunity for all members of our association to show recognition and appreciation for those correction officers who were not fortunate enough to reach the retirement phase of their lives.” The ceremony featured the
Departments Ceremonial Honor Guard, the Westchester Police Emerald Society’s Pipes and Drums and both current and former DOC employees. The ceremony concluded with a benediction from the Departments longtime Imam, John Nashid, who will be retiring at the end of May after 34 years of dedicated service. “This dedication stirs up a lot of emotion and reminds me of the great times I enjoyed with my former brother and sister supervisors over the years,” said Pete Dichiara, President of the Supervisors. “It also reminds us of how delicate life is and how complex working in a correctional environment can be. ”(Submitted)

North County Trailways
North-South County Trailway sponsorship
Bikers, joggers and walkers will notice new signage on the North-South County Trailway that will connect them to the Westchester SMART TRAIL platform. Westchester County is grateful to the Hospital for Special Surgery, HSS, Westchester for sponsoring this project. “The new Westchester SMART TRAIL platform will undoubtedly enhance the experience of the North-South County Trailway,” said Kathy O’Connor, commissioner of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation. “We encourage Westchester County residents to visit our trails, take some time to scan the QR codes and explore
the surrounding areas. We thank HSS Westchester, Smart Outdoor and Liquid Outdoor for their partnership.” Covering 34.6 miles of trail, the new signs installed in partnership with Smart Outdoor

emergency services. “We are pleased to be a part of the Westchester SMART TRAIL platform as we strongly believe in the importance of getting out and staying active regardless of the season,” said Dr. Warren Young, co-medical director of HSS Westchester. “Cycling, walking, and running are fantastic exercises with so many health benefits for people of all ages.” The paved, multi-use trail spans much of Westchester County with roughly 22 miles comprising the North County Trailway, from Eastview in the town of Greenburgh north to Putnam County. The remaining 14 miles, south
to the New York City border make up the South County Trailway. The North-South County Trailway is situated on what was part of the former Putnam Division of the New York Central Railroad. The “Old Put,” as it was fondly referred to by commuters, provided freight and passenger service from 1881 to 1958 between the Bronx and Putnam County. “This project was a wonderful collaborative effort between Liquid Outdoor, Smart Outdoor and Westchester County Parks,” Patrick Sherry, managing director of Liquid Outdoor said. “To see this sponsorship come to fruition with such an ideal client like Hospital for Special Surgery
Westchester is very gratifying. HSS Westchester is a world class locally based facility, and the entire county will benefit from their generous support.” Westchester Parks Foundation Executive Director Joe Stout said added, “As the largest organization supporting the Westchester County Park system, we applaud the efforts to improve the user experience on the beautiful North-South County Trailway, with this new signage. We commend the investment in our parks and thank HSS Westchester for recognizing the importance of parks and open space to Westchester County.” (Submitted)

More than 60,000 participants each year bike, walk and jog a 13.1-mile loop of the Bronx River Parkway from White Plains to Yonkers. For more than 40 years, since community leaders recognized the importance of environmental preservation and promotion of a healthy, fit lifestyle, people have gathered on Sundays in May, June and September to join the traffic-free route. WPF is excited to be part of an event that so many residents of Westchester County, and beyond, look forward to each year. Since 2012, this program has been funded solely by Westchester Parks Foundation and our partners. No public funding goes towards keeping this program going. Without WPF and our partners, the future of Bicycle Sundays is not guaranteed. 2021 Bicycle Sunday Dates: 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 2, 9, 16, 23 June 6, 13, 20, 27 July 11, 18, 25 Aug. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 Sept. 12, 19, 26 Oct. 3, 17, 24, 31 During Bicycle Sundays, the parkway is open exclusively for bicyclists, in-line skaters, scooters, walkers and joggers. The course will be slightly modified this year, beginning at Main Street in White Plains (instead of Westchester County Center) and continue south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers. The road is closed to automobiles in that stretch of parkway. Admission is free. There are numerous points of entry along the route. Although parking will be available in the Westchester County Center east parking lot, participants will follow signs and directions to enter the route at Main Street once they exit their cars.

Sunday, May 23 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Workshop For Couples: Wabi Sabi Broken Bowl Ceramics This powerful day-long Art Therapy workshop for couples is based on the Japanese philosophy of Wabi Sabi and the ancient practice of Kintsugi. Wabi Sabi embraces the flawed or imperfect aspects of life and Kintsugi is the practice of repairing broken pottery with gold. Instead of discarding the broken object, it is carefully mended in a way where the cracks are honored, rather than concealed. This philosophy is at the heart of Broken Bowl, where you will approach brokenness in your relationship with compassion and creativity. Each couple will receive a ceramic vessel, which represents the relationship. You will break it, and work together to put it back together after painting each piece to represent a part of your relationship. You will be guided through a process of confronting change, acceptance and deciding how to move forward with what you have. At the end of the workshop you will have a beautiful finished piece to take home. Sign up with your partner for this one of a kind workshop. Price is per person; limit 6 couples. Instructor: Christa Brennan; $125 (members receive discount).

ipants include a diverse mix of individuals, some of whom are in the early stages of exploring an idea and others who have already started generating revenue. “We have received overwhelmingly positive feedback about Launch1000 from participants at various stages of honing, testing and refining their concept,” said Deborah Novick, Westchester County’s Director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. “While some participants are still pursuing the initial business idea they had when applying for Launch1000, others have gained valuable insights during the program that have led them to pivot and create new—and even stronger—business and nonprofit concepts.” Starting this month, Launch1000 will admit cohorts of roughly 100-150 applicants every three to six weeks. This will allow participants to build
community and network with peers who are working through the same phase(s) of the program. To ensure that a lack of technology does not prevent anyone from applying to the program, the county Office of Economic Development will provide laptops to participating residents who need them. Potential participants can learn more about Launch1000 and apply by visiting: WestchesterCatalyst.com/Launch1000. In addition to Launch1000, the county Office of Economic Development offers a suite of programs and resources to support businesses and entrepreneurs including: Westchester County Biosciences Accelerator, Element 46 Incubator, the RXR Volunteer Program, the Westchester County IDA Grant and Loan Program and the Westchester County Business FIRST Grant Program.

Suez invests over $87M in water upgrades In a year that shined a light on what it truly means to be essential, SUEZ invested more than $87 million in infrastructure projects to improve its water and wastewater systems across New York in 2020. “SUEZ truly kept its commitment to its customers,” said Nadine Leslie, CEO of SUEZ North America. “Whether we are providing safe, reliable drinking water services or ensuring that wastewater is being safely treated to return to the environment, our customers are at the forefront of what we do. Last year presented numerous challenges, yet our employees stood by that commitment, embraced new health and safety regulations and continued delivering for the communities we serve.” Thirty-nine projects were completed in 18 municipalities in 2020 to ensure water quality and reliability to the 525,000 residents and businesses SUEZ serves in Rockland, Westchester, Orange, Tioga and Putnam counties. “Our investments will benefit our communities for generations to come,” said Chris Graziano, vice president and general manager of SUEZ Utility Operations in New York. “From New Rochelle to Owego, our customers in New York depend on us to provide water and wastewater services to their homes and businesses every day. That is why we continue to make long-term, essential investments that improve water quality and reliability.” Delivering the Essentials of Life During a Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges for the world and at the same
time reminded people how essential water is to handwashing and good hygiene. With much of the state shut down, SUEZ crews embraced new health and safety standards designed to protect themselves and their customers as they continued their essential work. “During this challenging time, SUEZ has been with our communities every step of the way,” Graziano said. “Our teams have worked tirelessly in the field, in the lab and in our treatment plants to ensure our customers have the clean water and reliable service they need to remain safe. It has been an honor to serve our communities and to know our infrastructure investments are helping to strengthen New York.” Investment Highlights: Water Main Replacements A total of $28 million was invested in water mains that will safeguard and enhance reliable water service and ensure resiliency throughout SUEZ’s New York service territory. Approximately 82,000 feet of water main were replaced in 2020, including the first stage of a project to replace water mains on Main Street in New Rochelle, as part of the city’s historic downtown revitalization project. Water Quality upgrades Work was started on a multiyear upgrade at SUEZ’s Lake DeForest Treatment Plant to address water quality issues, including taste and odor which emerged in 2019 due to a significant algae bloom in the reservoir. Ozone and powdered activated carbon are the treatments that are planned. The plant treats water from Lake DeForest, a 6-billion gallon reservoir that
serves approximately 100,000 customers in Rockland County. System Improvements Completed safety improvements at numerous facilities, including an upgrade of cameras and access systems, replacement of fencing, lighting improvements and the installation of catwalks. Tank upgrades The painting and upgrades to storage tanks in Spring Valley and Port Chester ensure that water is available when needed in the local area and extends the life of these critical assets. SCADA Master Plan upgrade Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems at 20 sites in Rockland were upgraded to ensure continuous monitoring of water supply and quality and to provide further protections against cyber security threats. Safety Enhancements Improvements included upgrades to systems that monitor water quality and supply, increased cybersecurity measures and security enhancements to make water supplies and systems safer. Many new projects—including main replacements, plant upgrades and water tank refurbishments—are already underway in 2021.These investments highlight the company’s commitment to improve lives and communities across New York, Graziano said. “These projects keep communities safe and they prepare New York for the future,” he added. “These extensive upgrades to New York’s infrastructure and treatment facilities will have long-lasting impacts on the areas we serve.” (Submitted)

Stroke prevention Do these 5 things to stop a stroke If there’s one good thing that can be said of strokes, it’s this: The vast majority of them don’t need to happen. Up to 80% of strokes can be prevented. Researchers have identified numerous steps people can take to lower stroke risk, but health experts agree, trying to do them all at once can feel overwhelming. “The biggest mistake people make is they are overly ambitious, and then they fail and give up,” said Dr. Vladimir Hachinski, a Canadian neurologist and global expert in the field of stroke. “You have to start small.” The rewards are enormous, said Dr. Cheryl Bushnell, a neurologist and director of the Comprehensive Stroke Center at Wake Forest Baptist Health in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It’s “not just for preventing stroke, but for preventing dementia as well. You can do the same things to prevent both. You are killing two birds with one stone.” Here are five ways to get started on the road to prevention. 1. If you smoke, quit Studies show that for every five cigarettes a person smokes each day, the risk of having a stroke goes up by 12%. For Black adults, smoking cigarettes more than doubles the risk of stroke compared to never smoking, a 2020 study found. “People understand that smoking causes lung cancer, but they don’t understand it also damages the brain and blood vessels,” Bushnell said. “In terms of stroke prevention, quitting smoking is the lowest hanging fruit.” 2. Move more More active men and women have a 25%-30% lower risk of stroke than those who are
least active. Physical activity has been shown to lower cholesterol, help maintain a healthy weight and lower blood pressure — all factors that can reduce stroke risk. “The evidence for physical activity is undeniable,” said Bushnell, who co-authored a 2014 statement from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association on stroke prevention. “Even just moving around for 10 minutes every hour is better than sitting for an extended period of time. You don’t have to run a 5K.” Hachinski placed exercise among the top three things a person could do to lower stroke risk — and agrees it needn’t be overly ambitious. “The worst thing that can happen is to sit all day. Walking is the best exercise there is. Get up and walk around.” 3. Keep blood pressure in check High blood pressure, also called hypertension, is the leading cause of strokes. Half of all men — 52% — and 43% of women in the U.S. have blood pressure that is too high, according to AHA statistics. While it can be controlled through lifestyle changes or by taking medication, only about 1 in 5 adults keep it properly managed. Smoking, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and eating an unhealthy diet can push blood pressure out of the healthy range. At-home monitoring and regular communication with doctors to make sure medications are working are important to keep high blood pressure in check, Bushnell said. “People have to keep track of their own blood pressure,” she said. “They have to know what their numbers are, know their medications and how to
“The biggest mistake people make is they are overly ambitious, and then they fail and give up. You have to start small.”
take them.” 4. Eat a healthy diet “One of the most subtle things that happens to people as they get older is they put on weight,” Hachinski said. Being careful to choose healthy foods can minimize weight gain, he said. But there’s value to making healthier food choices regardless of weight. “Nutrition is more important than weight loss,” agreed Bushnell. “There are multi-
ple diets shown to decrease the risk of stroke,” such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) or Mediterranean diets. Both emphasize eating a lot of fruits, vegetables and low-fat dairy, whole grains, fish and nuts, while cutting back on foods high in saturated fats, cholesterol and trans fats. 5. Start early Strokes happen to young people, too. About 10%-15% of all strokes occur in adults
age 50 or under. Recent research shows Black young adults have up to four times the risk as their white peers. And recent research shows the same factors that cause strokes in older adults — such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and diabetes — are causing strokes in younger adults. “You don’t think about disease when you are young,” Hachinski said. But that’s when good habits should start.
Hachinski recommends people start monitoring their blood pressure, cholesterol, lipids and blood sugar levels as soon as they transition from a pediatrician to a primary care physician as a young adult. Other life transitions — such as moving in with a partner — should also be triggers for checking health metrics, he said. “It’s a good time to take inventory, because it’s when habits will change.”

Animal instinct LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
The one thing Francisco Lindor is going to have to learn about playing in New York City that he’s not in Cleveland anymore; the scrutiny he’s going to face from the fans and the media on a daily basis is a different animal entirely. Kind of like the difference between a rat and a raccoon, say. An odd thing happened during the Metropolitans’ Friday night game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, when Mets players could be seen frantically rushing into the clubhouse in between innings. Media reports say that the cause of this mad scramble was an altercation in the dugout tunnel involving second baseman Jeff McNeil and the team’s new $341 million shortstop. Speculation about the nature of the disagreement continued throughout the game, and even after the Mets earned
a dramatic extra-inning win—in a game that saw the struggling Lindor hit a home run, no less— the media’s focus in the postgame presser was fixed firmly on what took place between the double-play combination. And Lindor, unfortunately, decided to get cute. Rather than admitting that there was tension—or issuing a blanket statement to let reporters and fans know that the issue had been quashed—Lindor decided to concoct a bizarre explanation about rats, raccoons and the ability of various Mets to compare and contrast the different forms of wildlife. It may have seemed charming in the moment—and Lindor is a player whose affability has made him a media darling through the first six years of his career—but I fear that the Mets shortstop is about to learn firsthand that it may have been the wrong way to handle the moment. Depending on how you look at it, it’s either quite easy—or hard—to become a beloved fig-

ure in New York sports. You can be the surliest grump in the press room, a brash iconoclast or—like Lindor—an easy-going jokester. Ultimately, the fans will embrace anyone who dons their team’s uniforms in this city; that is, providing that his team is a winner. So far, Lindor has struggled as a Met while the ball club, although leading the National League East, has had an up-anddown 2021 campaign. Whether his rat or raccoon comment comes to define his early tenure with the team, however, depends solely on his production at the plate. If Lindor breaks out of his early-season slump and leads the Mets to a deep postseason run, the McNeil episode will be largely confined to the dustbin of history, a footnote that may someday be used to highlight the shortstop’s sense of humor. If his play doesn’t improve, the media and fans will likely brand him—unfairly—as a player who simply did not take his job seriously enough, which would be a cardinal sin in their eyes given his exorbitant contract.

On May 7, Francisco Lindor answered questions about a purported run-in with teammate Jeff McNeil by spinning a yarn about rats and raccoons. If he doesn’t start to hit soon, this incident may define his tenure with the Mets. Photo courtesy wikipedia.org
So will he be able to get past Friday night’s game? Or are we in for 10 more years of taxonomic puns from the New York Post?
Honestly, the ball now lies in Lindor’s court. Let’s hope he just starts hitting, and soon. Even the nicest of guys
can only take so much badgering.

Rye rolls in season debut BOYS LACROSSE
non league
RYE 16 TAPPAN ZEE 6 RYE HS
5/6/21
Game Notes: • Liam Hurley led with 5 goals & 2 assists • The Garnets postponed their first 2 games of the year • Rye is currently 1-1
By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Although their return to action might have hit a few speed bumps, the Rye boys lacrosse team finally took the field for the first time last week, showing little evidence of rust. In their COVID-delayed start to the 2021 season, the Garnets made quick work of an overmatched Tappan Zee team, topping the Dutchmen 16-6 on May 6. After winning the Section I Class C title in 2019 and miss-
ing the entire 2020 season due to COVID-19, Rye’s title defense officially began last Thursday. The Garnets were initially slated to begin play on March 28, but were forced to reschedule their first two games after a COVID-related quarantine forced a number of Garnets to miss practices last week. “We were really shorthanded, we couldn’t even really go sixon-six,” senior captain Liam Hurley said. “But we just had to get our work in with the guys we had out there.” According to head coach Steve Lennon, the lack of preseason work has forced his team to develop its chemistry and identity on the fly. “We’re definitely behind right now where we’d be in a normal year,” he said. “But everybody is dealing with the same thing so we can’t complain too much.” But even the tumultuous start to the season didn’t impact the Garnets on Thursday, as Rye rolled against an overmatched Tappan Zee squad. Hurley led the way with a five-goal, two-assist effort while junior Owen Kovacs added five goals of his own. Hurley believes that the initial show-

ing was a solid one for Rye, even if the team didn’t play quite as crisply as it might have under different circumstances. “I think it probably didn’t look as tough as it should have today,” Hurley said. “But coming out here today we were just looking for effort because once we start practicing we know we are going to be going on all cylinders.” The Garnets acknowledge, however, that it may take some time until they begin to click as a team. On May 8, Rye took on a highly touted Lakeland/Panas team and frittered away a late lead, falling to the Rebels in a 1210 thriller. That type of loss highlighted that the Garnets still have some ways to go until they reach their potential as a team. Rye will face more stiff competition next week when they take on Yorktown and Mamaroneck on May 15 and 17, respectively. “We just need to focus on playing our game,” Hurley said. “If we come out and play at 100 percent, I’m not sure if there’s another team in the section that can play with us.”
