State updates New Yorkers on opioid epidemic Governor Kathy Hochul updated New Yorkers Monday regarding ongoing efforts to address the opioid epidemic. In response to the newly released information from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicating that more than 107,000 Americans died of overdoses last year, the Governor is reinforcing ongoing investments and her continued commitment to addressing this critical issue. “The figures released by the CDC are staggering, showing precious lives continue to be taken by the opioid epidemic, devastating families and communities across New York State and beyond,” Governor Hochul said. “Make no mistake: my Administration will fight every day to provide New Yorkers with

further access to life-saving resources, services, and care. We will do everything we can to empower New Yorkers with the information they need to protect themselves and their loved ones from this public health crisis.” One of the Governor’s first actions upon taking office was appointing a new Commissioner of the Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS). Since her appointment, Dr. Chinazo Cunningham, a physician and expert in treating substance use disorder, has been working to expand and enhance the State’s addiction services system. Commissioner of the Office of Addiction Services and Supports Dr. Chinazo Cunningham said, “I am proud to have been appointed by

Governor Hochul to help implement an agenda of ensuring a comprehensive system of prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction in New York State. Ensuring equitable access to these critical services is essential to helping us save more lives and support more families.” To provide OASAS and the State Department of Health the support they need to carry out this important work, the Governor’s first State Budget included historic investments to support the workforce and provider system and ensure equitable access to life-saving services across the State. Specifically, this year’s Budget is helping to expand access to medication through mobile methadone services, which includes adding vehicles and tele-

health equipment, and developing harm-reduction services and evidence-based community interventions to engage more individuals in services. The State is also in the second year of the second round of State Opioid Response Grants. A total of $56 million has been made available to expand evidence-based prevention services in high-need communities; provide street outreach services to engage those not currently in treatment; support Health Hubs to provide access to an array of primary and behavioral health services; develop public awareness campaigns; and fund Recovery Community Outreach Centers to support individuals in their efforts to live a healthy lifestyle.

The Board of Legislators has approved a measure to combat genderand race-based pay inequity by requiring employers to include an expected salary range when they post a job opportunity in Westchester. The measure passed in a 15-2 vote on Monday night. It is similar to laws on the books in New York City and in several states including Connecticut, Nevada, California, Washington, Maryland and Rhode Island. The law will take effect in November. It applies to all companies with more than four employees. Legislator Colin Smith, one of the new law’s chief sponsors, said, “Department of Labor statistics tell us that women on average make 82% of the salary that men make for the same work. That number drops to 65% for African-American and Latina women with a bachelor’s degree compared to white men with the same education. This legislation

is intended to help combat that inequity by creating transparency in the marketplace to level the playing field -- all job seekers, regardless of race or gender, will know what the job is worth to any job seeker of any gender identity or race.” Chairwoman Catherine Borgia, the legislation’s other lead sponsor, said, “This requires employers to put together a range they intend to pay for this job, so it gives employers flexibility. Everyone who puts out a job application has a basic idea of what is in their budget for a position. It really is just about information. We know that there are many jobs open and few applicants, and this will help pre-screen applicants who might not be a good fit. This will help both employers and employees, particularly women and people of color, but, similar to our salary history legislation, this really will help all employees.” (Submitted)

Legislators back airport engagement program The Board of Legislators fully supports County Executive George Latimer’s reintroduction of a community engagement program, On the Horizon, to hear from the public on the future of Westchester County Airport. In February 2020, the C.E. first launched the program to support the Master Plan Supplement for the Airport. The COVID-19 pandemic put the project on hold for more than two years, but the C.E. is once again opening up a

County-wide discussion to listen to the concerns of residents, community organizations, the business community, environmental activists and more. The goal is to engage all Airport stakeholders and incorporate their input into the vision for the future of Westchester County Airport. On the Horizon includes a series of public events like Town Halls, and the Master Plan Supplement will focus on an analysis of the

physical condition of the Airport property, buildings and infrastructure, additional analysis of noise and environmental impacts, and the local and regional economic impact. Town Halls are scheduled for May 24, June 2, and June 9 at the times and locations in the included graphic. Attend one or more, or submit comments via email to: communciations@westchestergov.com.

County partners with Paintcare to expand paint reycling Westchester County’s Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF) is partnering with PaintCare to greatly expand the paint recycling program in Westchester County. Effective immediately, residents are able to drop-off a variety of paints to the County’s Household Material Recovery Facility (H-MRF) and/or Household Recycling Days (HRDs). County Executive George Latimer said: “Westchester is proud to be one of the first municipalities in New York State to partner with PaintCare for paint recycling under the new statewide Extended Producer Responsibility legislation. Our County Department of Environmental Facilities continues to seek out new and innovative strategies for diverting materials from our waste stream to benefit the environment.” DEF Deputy Commissioner Louis Vetrone said: “We in the Department of Environmental Facilities are frequently asked by residents about safe paint disposal, and are excited to be offering another program expansion at the H-MRF and HRD events. Extended Produce Responsibility programs, such as PaintCare, provide funding and opportunities for residents to recycle materials and encourage the

reduction of non-recyclable materials in new products.” Eligible paints must be in their original container, no larger than 5 gallons, have the manufacturer’s printed label on the container, and have a secured lid. To recycle paint, book a convenient appointment at the County’s

Household-Material Recycling Facility (H-MRF), 15 Woods Road, Valhalla, open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Appointments can be made by visiting our website: https://environment.westchestergov.com/facilities/h-mrf or calling the Recycling HelpLine at (914) 813-5425.

The following types of paint will now be accepted:

• Interior and exterior architectural paints: latex, acrylic, water-based, alkyd, oil-based, enamel (including textured coatings) • Deck coatings, floor paints (including elastomeric) • Primers, sealers, undercoaters • Stains, Shellacs, lacquers, varnishes, urethanes (single component) • Waterproofing concrete/masonry/wood sealers and repellents (not tar or bitumen-based) • Metal coatings, rust preventatives • Field and lawn paints

Affordable housing advocates address Local Summit By NINA RECIO At its public breakfast forum on May 10 conducted via Zoom, the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Local Summit invited two experts in affordable housing to describe the tools currently available to communities to help address affordable housing needs. Rosemarie Noonan, Executive Director of the Housing Action Council (HAC) in Tarrytown and Melissa Kaplan-Macey, Vice President, State Programs and Connecticut Regional Planning Association (RPA), shared their thoughts on how to make affordable housing happen. Ms. Noonan has served as Director of the HAC since 1974. The Council provides expertise and staffing, particularly to non-profits, to develop housing. The HAC also counsels tenants and potential homeowners. Ms. Noonan herself fostered the creation of the Washingtonville Housing Alliance and has spent her career as an active advocate for affordable housing in Westchester County. Ms. Noonan began her presentation by conceding that “there are no easy fixes” to the affordable housing problem confronting the community and she finds it necessary to “keep plugging along, one conversation at a time, one development at a time” to make progress. Acknowledging that we are gradually losing “public housing,” Ms. Noonan explained that affordable housing is “all about financial feasibility” and said that there are other means besides public housing to develop affordable units in the current environment. In addition to non-profit development, these options include for-profit development, for-profit/non-profit collaboration and municipality-initiated development. For-profit developers play an important role as they have access to capital. Non-profit developers on the other hand can contribute sales and mortgage tax benefits. Thus, collaborations between these two types of developers can be very successful. Financial feasibility for any project may be the most critical aspect. Ms. Noonan described the need to “stack capital” for a given housing project, meaning that capital from private donors may

Rose Noonan and Melissa Kaplan-Noonan

be “stacked” upon capital from the County and State, as recently occurred in a development in Greenburgh. Also vitally important is the support of local groups and organizations. Ms. Kaplan- Macey, a resident of the Larchmont/Mamaroneck community, stated that today in our area more than a third of people are spending more than they can afford on housing. One of the biggest obstacles to affordable housing is community opposition. Ms. Kaplan-Macey spoke of the need to create a community environment that is accepting of proposed affordable housing sites. Local civic and non-profit organizations, she noted, can help create the appropriate environment. She further explained that housing needs and availability should be considered in the broader scope of community needs, along with transportation, energy and environment. In her view, these components of community living are interrelated and should not be examined in silos. Local municipal government has its role to play and tools available to it. Through its land-use regulations, especially zoning, local governments can promote affordable housing. According to Ms. Noonan, there have been recent municipality-initiated housing developments in Peekskill, Ossining, Croton-on-Hudson and Irvington. In one instance, a municipality made a surplus DPW site available for affordable housing. Ms. Kaplan-Macey discussed the various zoning mechanisms that can be utilized by a municipality to create affordable housing, even in a densely developed

location such as Larchmont/ Mamaroneck. One of the goals where there is limited available land, she indicated, is to create more room within existing structures. In communities with many single-family residences on large lots, the zoning codes can be revised to permit the conversion of larger single-family residences to multi-family units. Another option suggested by Ms. Kaplan-Macey is to permit “in-law apartments” or “granny flats”. She also suggested that municipalities could enable Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and to explore the reimagining of strip commercial shopping areas. Municipalities should also consider establishing Transit Oriented Developments (TODs) utilizing the land around the area’s established rail lines to create homes able to take advantage of the proximity to public transit. Based upon the speakers’ presentations, it became clear that the solution to creating more affordable housing in a community requires direct and active input, both financial and otherwise, from many different stakeholders. The Larchmont-Mamaroneck Local Summit is an informal community council that seeks to make a better life for the community by keeping it informed of major issues of concern. The next Zoom program, co-hosted by LMC Media, will be Tuesday, June 14 at 8:00 a.m. and will hear from OCRA students about their efforts supporting legislation providing a Right-to-Counsel in eviction proceedings.

THE REVIEW • MAY 27, 2022 • 9

Teen mental health is in downward slide Behavioral health therapists at Open Door Family Medical Center viewed Marilyn (not her real name) as “a child with really, really significant mental health needs.” The 14-year-old, however, who lives with her mother in a multi-family apartment in Westchester County, needed advanced care but couldn’t be hospitalized for several weeks because she had Covid-19. “In the meantime, we were sweating bullets trying to contain the mental health needs of this child in an outpatient setting,” said Shonny Capodilupo, Senior Director of Behavioral Health Services at the 50-year-old federally qualified health care center. “The anxiety level of her mom, of trying to keep it all under wraps because she didn’t want to get kicked out of the apartment, was sky high. Meanwhile, at the same time, this child was literally falling apart. Marilyn was doing extremely highrisk behaviors that were dangerous not only to her, but the entire house. These are the kind of scenarios that have been happening.” Mental health disorders among teens have surged in recent years. In 2019, 13 percent of adolescents nation-wide reported having a major depressive episode, a 60 percent increase from 2007. Suicide rates among teens during this time jumped nearly 60 percent, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a good time to look at the increase in the mental health of teens locally. While the mental health status ofteens has become more precarious and even predated Covid-19, the pandemic has greatly exacerbated the situation. “We’re seeing this it in national data and we’re also seeing it locally,” said Karen Fink, Execu-

tive President of Clinical Services at Family Services of Westchester (FSW). “We’re seeing an increase in referrals, while hospital beds are filled with adolescents.” These referrals, she said, are teens with depression and anxiety, with suicidal ideation and non-suicidal self-harm behavior. As an example, Behavioral Health Services at Open Door Family Medical Center had 10 high-need, high-risk adolescents referred to hospitals in 2019. In 2021, that number skyrocketed to 66. Capodilupo blames this on the disconnect teens have experienced from their peer systems and structure of school due to the pandemic. Many teens, particularly those living in communities of color, have also experienced a high level of grief from the death of family members (many more so than those in more affluent communities). This was due, at least in some part, to smaller living quarters and the inability for many of their parents to work from home. “You had kids that were anxious about school to begin with and that anxiety level just blew up,” she said. “You pulled them out of school and then put them back in and then pulled them back out again. All their extracurriculars were eliminated. You are doing academics remotely and kids are making fun of each other online. All of that pressure is like a powder keg. And now we’re seeing the consequences of that.” Added Fink, “There was the loneliness factor and the disconnect factor that we haven’t seen before. So even kids who were healthy and didn’t have a family member die, are having mental health struggles now.” Resources remain tight as waiting lists to see a therapist or be admitted to a hospital, are long. Tele-

health has provided a silver lining of sorts, bringing down the barriers for many to receive treatment – alleviating needs for transportation, parents missing work, childcare – but is not the same as an in-person visit, acknowledged Capodilupo. “Although not the same as in-person care, telehealth often allows for services to be accessed when otherwise they would not be possible. As such, it can lead to improved outcomes through more consistent treatment adherence.” The benefits with school-based health centers, which have always played a critical role in monitoring the physical and mental health of children were compromised when schools went remote. This was especially important in places like Ossining and Port Chester, where Open Door runs the Nita M. Lowey Centers for Health in Schools. “The school-based health centers have always reached kids where they are,” said Fink. “They treat the whole child and provide a wider lens. If you are worried about someone, you wait outside the classroom to make sure they are okay. You have the ability to do those check-ins for kids or see if they are absent. It makes it so much easier for the parent. There are eyes on them.” Both behavioral health specialists say parents can make a difference in their child’s health by recognizing any changes. “Knowing your child, having that relationship foundation with your child, is an enormous protective factor,” said Capodilupo. “Are they isolating? Do they have somatic complaints (about their stomach or head hurting)? Are they sleeping too much or too little? Are they avoiding family interactions? Are they avoiding school? These are the red flags that a parent should pay attention to.” (Submitted)

What to know before buying a

HOME WATER COOLER Once relegated solely to the workplace, water cooler conversations can now happen among those working from home. Stay hydrated and catch up with the family around this convenient appliance that can dispense either cool and refreshing H2O or hot water for tea or other beverages. Personal-use coolers that filter and dispense water are available at a variety of price points and design styles, said clean water expert Brian Campbell, founder of WaterFilterGuru.com, where he blogs about all things water quality. The most common options include those topped with a big jug and a more modern, jugless option that is plumbed into the home waterline to continually filter and purify water within the system, Campbell said. Easy access to clean water makes especially good sense for people whose local water may contain toxins and contaminants such as lead, arsenic, fluoride, bacteria and viruses, Campbell said. Water makes up between 50% and 70% of a person’s body weight, according to the Mayo Clinic. Our cells, tissues and organs need water to rid our bodies of waste, regulate our temperatures, lubri-

cate and cushion joints and protect tissue. Experts suggest drinking between six and eight glasses of water a day, but specific amounts depend on the individual, said hydration expert and kidney specialist Dr. Mitchell Rosner, a nephrologist at the University of Virginia with a clinical focus on fluid and electrolyte disorders, acute kidney injury and polycystic kidney disease. “My personal belief — and I believe research supports it — is to drink according to thirst. Let your body tell you when you need a drink. Listen for your thirst sensation,” Rosner said. This is opposite of what some others say: That by the time you feel thirsty you may be already dehydrated, he acknowledged. “There is no evidence that supports this,” he said. Nevertheless, six to eight glasses of water a day is a good guideline to follow, Rosner said. “I like the idea of a personal water cooler. It saves on plastic. It offers high-quality, pure water that is easily accessible,” he said. When buying a water cooler some considerations include size, aesthetics, price,

energy efficiency and which features will fit your lifestyle, Campbell said. It should be easy to use and clean. Be sure that the capacity fits your family’s needs. Some additional features include hot and cold water options, ice making capability, leak detection, nightlights, carbonation options, child safety locks, self-cleaning options and how much noise the water cooler makes when running. Do some research if you are concerned about the cleanliness and purity of your home’s water, Campbell said. “Run a quick water test. You can buy one for between $10 and $20 online,” he said. A more complete investigation with a lab sample may cost around $200 but will reveal the complete chemistry of your home’s water, he said. Check with your city to find out what’s in your municipal water supply, and be aware that clean water can be contaminated on its journey from the city, such as through lead pipes, Campbell said.

A thrilling climax LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

I don’t think I’m too far off base here, but this might very well be one of the best stretches of high school playoff action in quite some time. It doesn’t matter what school you root for or what sport you choose to follow. Simply put, the postseason has been straight fire. If you’ve read my sports coverage—or this column— over the years, you’ll know that there’s nothing that gets my journalistic juices flowing like a good storyline. And this spring, the storylines have been legion. There aren’t too many things that get the juices flowing in the postseason quite like a good underdog story, and we’ve certainly had a few of them so far. The Mamaroneck girls lacrosse team—which one just one of its first five games of the year—began to find its stride in the second half of the season and have come out as a house on fire in the playoffs, running though the opposition

from a No. 5 seed to earn a spot in the Class A finals. Harrison’s softball team—which also entered the postseason as a fifth seed—has pulled off a similar run finding themselves on the precipice of a finals berth at the time this article is being written. And how did the Huskies get to where they are? Only by virtue of a perfect game from a young hurler in Gabriella Triano that just so happened to coincide with the 300th career victory for coaching duo Dean Marino and Nat Acuti. You just can’t make this stuff up. But even where underdogs aren’t the story, there’s still more than enough to hold one’s interest. Heck, just look at Rye’s boys lacrosse team. The Garnets came into the year as the favorites to win Class A’s Section I crown and compete for a state title. But untimely injuries—including one that sidelined All-American Caden Whaling for the final few weeks of the regular season—seemingly put those lofty aspirations on tenuous ground. But Whaling returned in the team’s semifinal round game against Mahopac this week to give the Garnets a lift,

and also notch career point 162, which puts him atop Rye’s all-time leaderboard. And as for individual games? Those haven’t disappointed either. We’ve seen Eastchester’s Tyler Pfeiffer keep his team’s season alive with a walk-off grand slam against Nanuet. We’ve seen Bronxville and Albertus Magnus battle to avoid elimination until the sun went down. We’ve seen eighth-grader Davey Ryan come up again and again in big spots for a Rye Neck baseball team looking for it’s second straight Section I title. How could it get any better than this? Here’s how; over the next few days, all these storylines will converge as teams hit the field to claim those coveted sectional plaques. Those through lines we’ve been following for the last two weeks will have to be followed until the end, and I, for one, can’t wait to take that trip. So here’s to the final week of the Section I season. No matter what happens in the next few days, this will definitely be one for the ages. Follow Mike on Twitter @LiveMike_Sports

Rye’s Caden Whaling looks to shoot on goal during the Garnets’ May 23 semifinal round game against Mahopac. Whaling returned to the field on Monday after missing the final few weeks of the regular season due to injury.

Gabriella Triano throws a pitch against Saunders on May 20. Triano tossed a perfect game to top the Blue Devils in the opening round of the Class A softball tournament.
