DHS pushes out REAL ID deadline to May 2023 The Department of Homeland Security, DHS, is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from Oct. 1, 2021 to May 3, 2023, due to circumstances resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has significantly impacted states’ ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards, with many driver’s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change. Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver’s license or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel. All 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and four of five U.S. territories covered by the

REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states’ capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards. As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernization Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents. The REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, enacted the 9/11 Commission’s recommen-

dation that the federal government “set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver’s licenses.” The Act established minimum-security standards for license issuance and production and prohibits federal agencies from accepting for certain purposes driver’s licenses and identification

cards from states not meeting the minimum standards. DHS continues to work closely with all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to implement REAL ID Act requirements. For more information on REAL ID, visit www.dhs.gov/real-id. (Submitted)

I kicked COVID to the curb! That’s the new campaign Westchester County has launched to encourage Westchester County teens and young adults to get vaccinated for COVID-19. The campaign includes a PSA with New York Knick and Ossining native Obi Toppin and Knick Immanuel “IQ” Quickley. Along with the New York Knicks PSA, the county is also launching an aggressive social media campaign, hosting a youth town hall May 13 to answer questions young people might have about the vaccine and is partnering with local schools, libraries and more to directly get the information in the hands of young people and their parents. “It’s been a long time since I was a teenager, but I remember what it was like,” County Executive George Latimer. “When I was a young man I thought I was invincible, and in some ways you are when you are young, but when it comes to COVID-19 you are not. Get vaccinated. Don’t let anything impact or threaten the very bright future you have ahead of you. It’s a simple, quick shot and it will help protect you and the people you love.” Early on the county’s vaccination efforts were focused on the most vulnerable members of the population—older people and those with severe health issues. Now, the focus is on those 16 to 25 years old. Currently, the U.S.

Food and Drug Administration has authorized the emergency use of a Pfizer vaccine to prevent COVID-19 for people 16 years of age and older. For those 18 year old and older Johnson & Johnson and Moderna are also approved. There is no vaccine approved yet for children under age 16. “The New York Knicks and MSG are proud to work with Westchester County on this important initiative to encourage young people to get a COVID-19 vaccine shot,” said Rich Constable, MSG Sports head of Social Impact. “As the CDC has said, the available COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and will allow all of us to get back to enjoying many of the activities we love—like playing basketball. We encourage everyone who has not yet been vaccinated to get their shot.” To schedule an appointment at Westchester Community College in Valhalla, visit: westchestergov. com/health To schedule an appointment at a New York State operated clinic, visit: covid19vaccine.health. ny.gov To locate clinics, pharmacies and other locations that offer the COVID-19 vaccine, use the Vaccine Finder Tool: vaccinender. org/search For more information, please call the Westchester County Department of Health at 995-7425.

Assembly Delegation rallies for more pre-K funding

New York State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin calls on the state to provide more funding for universal pre-K at an April 29 press conference at the Eastview School in White Plains.

The Westchester and Rockland New York State Assembly Delegation held a press conference on Thursday, April 29 to highlight the inequity in universal pre-K funding. Assemblymembers Amy Paulin, Ken Zebrowski, Gary Pretlow, Sandy Galef, Tom Abinanti, Steve Otis and Chris Burdick, as well as White Plains School Superintendent Dr. Joseph Ricca, Tuckahoe Schools Superintendent Dr. Amy Goodman and Childcare Resources of Rockland County Executive Director Vicki Caramante are calling upon New York State to fully fund universal full-day pre-K for Westchester and Rockland

counties. New York City has been given funding for full day universal pre-K and the rest of the state deserves the same, the delegation said. Currently, New York City receives $300 million annually under the Statewide Universal Full-day Pre-K program. Districts outside of New York City enroll more than half of the public school students throughout the state, yet are only allocated $55 million in annual funding under the same program. High-quality pre-K has significant benefits for children as it provides them with valuable skills to succeed in school and beyond. Studies show that chil-

dren who arrive at kindergarten prepared to learn perform better throughout school and complete more years of education. Public pre-K for three- and four-yearolds also enables parents of young children to return to the workforce. The need to expand access to pre-K has been with us for many years, and the COVID-19 pandemic brings added urgency to this issue. After a year of children experiencing significant disruptions in their routines, economic insecurity, illness and loss, universal pre-K is needed so that all children can be on a path to success in kindergarten and beyond.

NYP Sports Performance Institute helps young athletes Children and teenagers face a variety of challenges to performing their best in sports, but sports performance training at the NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute can help athletes ages 10 to 18 improve their speed, strength and, perhaps most importantly, movement patterns. “Young athletes are heavier than in previous generations and technology affects their posture more,” said Jason Hutchings, AS, BS, XPS, site performance manager at the NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute. “Additionally, instead of playing several sports, many children and teens play one sport yearround, despite the fact that their movement patterns haven’t fully developed yet. They need to build good movement patterns early to prevent injury.” Sports performance training at the NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute helps young athletes do just that in small-group and semi-private sessions. Using EXOS, a training system trusted by professional and amateur ath-

letes in the U.S. and around the world, trainers lead participants through one-hour sessions designed to address common areas of weakness for young athletes, such as joint instability and improper weight-training technique. “We incorporate games that involve movement, which keeps kids engaged and allows the trainers and coaches to analyze their movement patterns,” Hutchings said. “We can see the whole picture while they play—how they’re running, jumping, landing and moving laterally.” In addition to regular training sessions, the NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute also hosts sports performance camps to help young athletes hone speed, strength and movement patterns. Athletes can choose from camps that last a few hours or an entire weekend. “Our training helps athletes develop strength and biomechanics, but it also gives them confidence,” Hutchings said. “There’s a direct correlation between confidence and athletic

performance, and sports performance training empowers kids to realize they can improve.” The NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute is located at 693 White Plains Road in Scarsdale, New York. Services are available to people of any athletic skill level and for children as young as age 10. Services include: • Sports medicine and orthopedic surgery expertise provided by Columbia physicians and surgeons practicing at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia • Sports medicine primary care and rehabilitation from NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia sports medicine physicians, who perform diagnostic testing and provide nonsurgical therapies • Sports performance training powered by EXOS, featuring high-intensity group classes, semi-private sessions and one-on-one training • Sports therapy from Columbia physical therapists with specialized training in manual therapy and sports-specif-

Discussion to focus on lesser-known dementia “I didn’t even know how to spell the word ‘Alzheimer’s,’ and I had to learn very quickly what it all entails.” said Eva Roszkowski, Community Engagement Manager for the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter, whose father was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 56, when she was in her early 20s. “I found myself in the position of being a caregiver while also really having some fundamental misunderstandings about what the disease entailed,” she said. Since that time, Roszkowski began working for the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter, where she educates young caregivers and sheds light on the fact that for many millennials, caregiving for someone with dementia is a part of life. She is also staff advisor to the Young Alzheimer’s Professionals Council, YPAC, an auxiliary board of the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter that

consists of millennials committed to creating a world without Alzheimer’s. The group hosts fundraisers and other events to engage Hudson Valley communities in the fight against dementia. On Wednesday, May 12, at 6 p.m., YPAC will host a Rare Dementia Panel Discussion, which will explore the “dementia umbrella,” or the fact that dementia is an umbrella term covering several different illnesses, of which Alzheimer’s is only the most common form. The event will feature four guest speakers: Dr. Jason Cohen, an assistant professor of neurology at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Norma Loeb, a former caregiver and founder of the Lewy Body Dementia Resource Center; Corey Esannason, an ambassador with the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration and yoga educator whose mother was diagnosed with FTD in 2011; and Erica Steiner, a caregiver for her

mother with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease who chronicles her experience online. They will discuss the lesser-known forms of dementia and the misinformation surrounding them before taking participants’ questions in a Q&A session. “Misinformation is rampant,” Cohen said. “When people don’t feel like they have other options, it’s easy to latch onto something.” Loeb explained that more often than not, people showing signs of dementia are misdiagnosed. This can be due to misinformation or lack of information about rare dementias, she said. Her own mother was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia in 2001, and she said it took 3.5 years to get an accurate diagnosis. Cohen noted an accurate diagnosis is essential in creating an accurate treatment plan.“We can use what we know to make better decisions,” he said. Cohen added that the challenge is so great that even people with ample resources, such as actor Robin Williams, may be misdiagnosed. “Robin Williams died essen-

tially from dementia with Lewy bodies. He didn’t have the diagnosis until pretty late on, and this is not someone who didn’t have access to doctors and all sorts of resources. If [he] had known about it, maybe he would have gotten better treatment and still be here,” Cohen said. Roszkowski said the event will be a great opportunity for anyone who has noticed cognitive or behavioral changes in their loved ones to become better informed. “The Rare Dementia Panel Discussion will be a really good time for people of all ages to hear about the other possibilities,” Roszkowski said, adding she hopes

the discussion will combat widespread misinformation by “opening people’s minds and encouraging them to get even more educated on this topic.” Loeb said she hopes the event will prove helpful to attendees on multiple levels. “By participating in the Rare Dementia Panel Discussion, I hope to bring awareness to the disease and provide people with an outlet for support so they know there is a place they can go to for help,” she said.

Wells show us the Ya-Yas in love and at war with convention. The Ya-Ya values of unconditional loyalty, high style and Louisiana sass shine through in crises of faith, hilarious lapses of parenting skills, brushes with alcoholism and glimpses of the dark reality of racial bigotry, In the Ya-Yas’ inimitable way, these four remarkable women also teach their children about the Mysteries: the wonder of snow in the deep South, the possibility that humans are made of stars, and the belief that miracles do happen. After two bestsellers and a blockbuster movie, the Ya-Yas have become part of American culture—icons for the power of women’s friendship. Ya-Yas in Bloom continues the saga, giving us more Ya-Ya lore, spun out in the rich patois of the Louisiana bayou country and brim full of the Ya-Ya message to embrace life and each other with joy.

Sunday, May 2, 9, 16 and 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bicycle Sundays Bicycle Sundays are a beloved Westchester tradition since 1974. 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 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

Sunday, May 9,16, 23 Sunday, May 23 and 30 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Workshop For Couples: Wabi Sabi Parking Lot on Theo Fremd Ave, directly behind Purchase Street 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).

Flavors of diversity Food, culture and the missing ingredient in nutrition therapy You are what you eat. And what you eat is a reflection of who you are — your family, your history, your traditions. But for many people who need guidance on eating, finding an expert with a common background can be a challenge. Most dietitians — 81% of them according to the credentialing agency for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics — are white. Nearly 94% are women. That lack of diversity is a problem, said Deanna Belleny Lewis, a registered dietitian nutritionist and public health practitioner in Hartford, Connecticut. “Food is very much a part of culture, and you can’t really take the culture out of food — you shouldn’t at least,” said Belleny Lewis, co-founder of the nonprofit group Diversify Dietetics. “We think we just need more dietitians who can relate to the diverse clients and the diverse communities that we serve.” The academic world tends to take a Eurocentric approach to nutrition, she said. The problem is slowly being acknowledged at high levels. The latest federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans acknowledge that a healthy diet should “reflect personal preferences, cultural traditions and budgetary considerations.” A 2019 report from the American Diabetes Association said that a “one-size-fits-all” approach to nutrition therapy is unrealistic. But dietitians, who can play a crucial role in teaching healthy habits, often take just such an approach.

Ka Hei Karen Lau is a registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist at the Joslin Diabetes Center’s Asian American Diabetes Initiative in Boston. Most of her patients come from a Chinese background. Many arrive from other clinics with a common complaint: “They don’t understand the food that I’m eating.” For example, rice. Textbook advice, Lau said, frowns on white rice, and people often are counseled to avoid it. But “that’s a big thing in our culture,” said Lau, who is originally from Hong Kong. Rice is woven into the language: People greet one another by asking, “Have you had rice yet?” So the idea of giving it up sounds laughable. But Lau’s shared background helps her say, “Hey, we can respect tradition, we can respect the culture and work around it.” Instead of counseling someone to abandon rice, she might suggest using whole-grain rice, trying smaller portions, or balancing it with vegetables and proteins. Whitney Brooks, a registered dietitian nutritionist from the Seneca Nation in western New York, said dietitians who lack cultural awareness also can overlook the deep, systemic roots of problems. Native Americans have the highest diabetes rates among racial and ethnic groups in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dietetics textbooks emphasize individual choice and eating less, but Brooks said “a lot of those things

“Food is very much a part of culture, and you can’t really take the culture out of food — you shouldn’t at least. We think we just need more dietitians who can relate to the diverse clients and the diverse communities that we serve.” Deanna Belleny Lewis, co-founder of Diversify Dietetics

don’t apply when you don’t understand the historical trauma. There’s no getting around that in the Native population.” When driven from their land, Indigenous people lost more than territory. Traditional foods were replaced with government rations, which included processed white flour, oil and salt pork. “That puts the historical context on the high rates of diabetes that Native commu-

nities face,” she said. “It’s not just, ‘Oh, we’re choosing badly for ourselves.’ We’re coming from a place where we had no choice. It was survival.” She and Belleny Lewis both said colleges should improve at recruiting dietitians from diverse backgrounds. Brooks, whose path to a degree took a decade, said she was championed and mentored by people who saw her worth when

traditional professors did not. To help change the system in the short term, they said, health care professionals can practice “cultural humility.” The concept emphasizes a patient’s perspective, Belleny Lewis said, and requires constant self-reflection and self-awareness by the clinician. It takes courage to unlearn biases, Lau said. It also can

be fun. Lau’s clinic focuses on Asian Americans, but that gives her many countries, cultures and nuances to explore. So she educates herself by reading and by trying unfamiliar restaurants. “I have friends in all those different cultures,” and she’s “shameless” about asking them about their choices. “I’m still learning,” Lau said. “I think everyone is still learning.”

New York’s true team LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

Who would have thought, it’s May and people in New York are talking about the Knicks. And not talking about the Knicks in the typical “team fires coach after 16-win season,” way or even the “James Dolan bans Bernard King from Madison Square Garden.” They’re talking about the Knicks because—dare I say it— they might be the most entertaining team in the city. I know. I can’t believe it either. Not only because the Knicks share a sport with a Brooklyn team that is replete with mega stars or because the organization has basically been a dumpster fire for the majority of my adult life, I’m most amazed at this development because I never thought I would be ready to believe in the Knicks with James Dolan still running the franchise. And yet, here we are. It’s often been said that, despite the area’s love for the Giants and

the Yankees, New York was—at its core—a basketball town. It was a nice sentiment, but one that I felt was caked in nostalgia; a love for a time when Red Holzman’s teams took the court at the Garden in grainy, sepia-toned flashbacks. New York loves to romanticize its past, so the legend of those late 60s-early 70s teams is as much a part of our city’s cultural DNA as the Murderer’s Row Yankees. But was New York’s love for the Knicks real? It’s been tough to tell in the last 20-or-so years. Sure, there have been flashes of “Knicksmania,” like the early days of Amar’e Stoudemire’s tenure or the winter we all dealt with a case of temporary Linsanity; but these weren’t sustainable love affairs. Derailed by injuries and mismanagement, the Knicks always seemed to turn back into a pumpkin just as the town got behind them. Knicks fans my age, for example, worshiped the Patrick Ewing/John Starks teams, which were ultimately defined by their failure to beat Jordan—and later

the Rockets. So what’s different now? Time will tell, but it’s been a heck of a ride so far. A team chock-full of castoffs and reclamation projects led by an unlikely star in Julius Randle, and dedicated to the defensive tenacity preached by its stubborn and often abrasive head coach? That’s every Knicks fan’s platonic ideal of a basketball team that represents his idea of the city. New York has long prided itself— rightly or wrongly—in being a gritty blue-collar town, and this team seems to embody all of the qualities we look for in our stars. We don’t know how far the Knicks will go this year, but it’s certainly been a pleasure watching them. I can’t speak for one fan who actually believes they have a shot to win the Eastern Conference, but right now, it doesn’t even matter. Basketball is back in the Garden. And I’m just happy to be along for the ride.

Garnets win opener GIRLS LACROSSE

non league

RYE 18 LAKELAND/PANAS 9 RYE HS

4/28/21

Game Notes: • Ellie Hedges had 4 goals & 6 assists • Rye outshot Lakeland/ Panas 33-13 • The Garnets will play Mahopac on 5/8

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor It may have taken a bit longer than anyone could have predicted, but on April 28, Michelle Mason earned her first career win as the head coach of the Rye girls lacrosse team as her team topped Lakeland/Panas 18-9 in the 2021 season opener. For Mason—who was initially hired to coach the Garnets last year before the spring season was wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic—the win was a year in the making, but also a testament to the depth of a Rye program she hopes to lead to great heights this spring. On Wednesday, the Garnets relied heavily on the contributions of junior Ellie Hedges and freshman Lilly Whaling as they overcame some early resistance from the Rebels to outscore their opponents 7-3 over the final 40 minutes. Hedges and Whaling both netted four goals on the day, and Hedges added a game-high six assists as the Garnets outshot Lakeland/Panas 33-13. For a Rye program that graduated a talented senior class last spring, Wednesday’s win was evidence that there is more than enough talent left in the program as the Garnets look to establish themselves in 2021. “We lost a lot of seniors who were very prolific players for multiple years and we just had to look at our younger players to say ‘this is who we want to be,’” Mason said. “And I think we saw that buy-in came from sticking together during Covid, taking our tryouts seriously, and coming out

in the first practice and working hard.”According to Hedges, it was that grind-it-out mindset that helped Rye overcome an abbreviated preseason and look sharp in the season opener. “We’ve done a lot of team bonding just in the last week,” the junior said. “I think that has been very helpful with our play on the field.” Against the Rebels, the Garnets used defensive pressure to turn the tide of the game, something that Mason hopes to see more of as the season wears on. “Our ride was incredible today, we were turning the ball over and slowing the ball down and that’s something we literally taught two days ago,” the coach said. “We had said we don’t want anyone to outmatch our energy or our effort and that comes from the sidelines to the players on the field.”

SPORTS

The Garnets fed off their season-opening win with two more victories over the weekend, a 13-4 drubbing of Scarsdale and a 14-7 romp over Pelham. At 3-0, the Garnets are looking towards a May 3 showdown against Somers, after press time, before their next contest against Mahopac on May 8. The spring season will be the only athletic campaign during the 2020-21 school year that will culminate with a Section I tournament. “Just being able to get back on the field with my team and playing for coach Mason, it’s been an honor,” Hedges said. “And the fact that there is going to be a sectional tournament, that’s probably the best news I’ve received all year.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
