Hochul pushes vaccine for kids in statewide campaign Gov. Kathy Hochul announced on Jan. 11 a new campaign to increase vaccination rates among children five and older—urging pediatricians, parents and guardians to help children get vaccinated and keep up with all recommended COVID-19 vaccine doses.

“The best protection for our kids is to ensure they get vaccinated and keep up with all recommended vaccine doses,” Hochul said. “As COVID-19 continues to spread, the best armor for our children is the vaccine. It’s safe, effective, free, and over a half million children in New York between 5-11 years old have already gotten their first dose so far. With the #VaxForKids campaign, we are doubling down on our efforts to get this critical message out to even more parents and guardians.”

The multifaceted #VaxForKids effort includes new marketing ef-

forts to reach parents and guardians in English and Spanish. This includes advertising on television, radio and digital—including search and streaming. As part of the program, a new PSA featuring Acting State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett will launch statewide with a focus on reaching parents and guardians of children 5-11. Additional PSAs will be launched over the coming weeks.

“Since the emergence of the Omicron variant, COVID-19 cases and even hospitalizations are rising among children,” said Bassett. “There has never been a more important time for pediatricians, parents, and guardians to ensure children five and older get vaccinated and stay up-to-date with all recommended doses. Vaccines have been the backbone of pediatric care for decades, protecting our children against countless diseases. The COVID-19 vaccine

is no different. I urge New Yorkers to make sure their children get fully vaccinated—and their third dose when eligible—so they have meaningful and continued protection against the virus.”

To date, more than 1.5 million children 5-17 have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

As of Jan. 10, 32.2% of children 5-11 and 73.4% of adolescents 12-17 have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose and 21.6% of children 5-11 and 65.4% of adolescents 12-17 have completed their initial vaccine series.

To accompany the communications program, new #VaxForKids pop-up sites will be established in communities statewide to administer first and second doses for children five and older as well as booster and additional doses for eligible children and adolescents.

Locations and dates will be an-

nounced soon. Already, the state has established a dedicated hub so parents and guardians have information, resources and FAQs on the vaccine and children specifically. The Department of Health continues to actively communicate and provide guidance to pediatric providers on-the-ground and in every region across the state.

Children five and older are eligible for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. As of Jan. 7, adolescents 12 and older are eligible for a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at least five months after completing their initial vaccine series. Additionally, children 5-11 with certain immunocompromising conditions are now eligible for an additional dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at least 28 days after completing their initial vaccine series.

Mamaroneck Mayor Tom Murphy announced on Jan. 2, that he would appoint Lou Young, a 43-year veteran of broadcast journalism, to the position of village trustee replacing Trustee Kelly Wenstrup who stepped down on Jan. 4.

“Filling Kelly’s shoes was not easy, but I particularly wanted someone who wasn’t invested in the inside baseball aspect of Mamaroneck politics, and who could provide an objective voice of reason,” said Murphy.

“We have in Lou a longtime area resident with a great deal of integrity who is passionate about the issues we face. I feel confident his energy, experience, and fresh perspective will serve Mamaroneck well.”

Young and his family moved to the village of Mamaroneck in 2019 after living “next door” in Larchmont for two decades.

In his capacity as a journalist, he has covered floods in Mamaroneck for all three major TV stations in New York City as far back as the ‘80s. His concern over the lack of effective flood mitigation in Mamaroneck motivated him to volunteer for public service on the Board of Trustees.

Though currently retired from journalism, Young has performed public relations and consultant tasks for several local political candidates and the New Rochelle school district. He has also volunteered his journalism skills to the hyper-local news website,

The Loop, and LMC Media, the public access TV outlet for Larchmont and Mamaroneck.

Earlier this year, Young and Producer Dena Schumacher won a National Hometown Media Award for LMC in the “Community Impact” category for their coverage of the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force.

Young’s other awards include 10 Emmys, and in 2013 a duPont-Columbia University Award for coverage of the Newtown School Shooting Tragedy. He is a graduate of the University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communications and a member of the school’s Hall of Fame.

During his career, Young met and interviewed four U.S. presidents and hundreds of newsmakers both domestically and overseas. He is an experienced conflict correspondent who covered the U.S. Invasion of Panama, the second Palestinian Intifada, and the U.S. Invasion of Iraq. He was at Ground Zero on 9/11 as one of CBS’ primary reporters in the disaster zone, and subsequently reported extensively from various locations in the Middle East during that difficult time.

Young and his wife, Debra Quintana, currently live in the Washingtonville section of Mamaroneck. Their two grown children, who graduated from the Mamaroneck school system, both live in Manhattan.

BluePath Service Dogs partner with Rye PD for school outreach The Kids and Canines Learning Together Program, a school outreach initiative from BluePath Service Dogs, is unlocking potential for children with special needs in the Rye City School District.

The nonprofit, which provides autism service dogs offering safety, companionship and opportunities for independence, recently began an innovative partnership with the Rye Police Department that includes bi-weekly school visits from officers and BluePath dogs throughout the school year.

According to research conducted by the University of California, Davis, students who practiced reading skills with classroom dogs increased their reading fluency up to 30%. Further, a study published by the National Institute of Health states, “the presence of a dog in an educational setting seems to support concentration, attention, motivation, and relaxation reflecting reduction of high stress levels which inhibit effective learning and performance.”

Through the Kids and Canines Learning Together Program, BluePath dogs spend time in schools and work with children in a variety of classroom environments. The interactions facilitate awareness and understanding for students, while also allowing the dogs to become acclimated to different sights and sounds.

Teachers incorporate their four-legged visitors into the curriculum, and they help to regulate behavior and prevent meltdowns.

“BluePath dogs have been amazing companions for our

S.A.L.T. students (Students Advancing Learning Together Educational Program),” said Kristie Orlando-Bangali, assistant principal at Rye Middle School.

“The dogs have become constant staples at our school; they have helped many of our S.A.L.T. students improve social interactions and relationships and have even helped some begin to overcome their fear of dogs!”

Dr. Eric Byrne, Rye City School District’s superintendent of schools, added, “It is amazing to see the impact that the visiting dogs have on our students. The connections being made and the growth we are seeing through social interactions is incredible. We are grateful for the support and partnership with BluePath and the Rye PBA.” As part of BluePath’s new partnership with the Rye Police Department, officers join BluePath staff and dogs for visits twice each month at four Rye schools—Milton School, Midland School, Osborn School and Rye Middle School. The visits focus on self-contained special needs classrooms.

“Since the inception of the Adopt-A-School Program in 2016, our police officers have been a regular presence in the district,” said City of Rye Police Det. Gabriele Caputo.

“BluePath dogs offer us a new way to connect with the kids, strengthening existing relationships and building trust. Most importantly, it’s easy to see the positive impact the dogs have in every classroom they visit; the PBA is proud to sponsor this initiative.”

A longtime supporter, the

Rye Police Department has sponsored BluePath’s annual walkathon since its inception.

This year, they approached the nonprofit about deepening their partnership.

“Each autism service dog we place will make a difference for a child and their extended circle, yet our time in schools reminds me how BluePath dogs touch so many lives on their journey,” said BluePath Vice President of Marketing and Development Michelle Brier. “Our work with the Rye Police Department has a transformative impact in the classroom while providing police officers with invaluable experience with kids with special needs. We extend our gratitude and admiration to the police department for investing in their city in this way.”

According to the CDC, one out of every 54 children born today will develop an autism spectrum disorder. It is the fastest growing developmental disability in the United States.

BluePath dogs significantly reduce parents’ safety concerns and help children to lead fuller lives. Reduced stress, improved sleeping routines, and more meaningful social interactions can allow families to feel a renewed sense of hope and empowerment.

Each BluePath dog comes with thousands of hours of training from dedicated volunteers and professional staff.

While the cost to prepare these incredible animals is upwards of $40,000, BluePath provides its service dogs—and intensive, ongoing follow up support— completely free of charge.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer cautions residents to take this week’s freezing temperatures seriously when they leave home, check on their elderly and frail neighbors and heat their homes safely.

“Wintry weather can further isolate those who are homebound and frail, so it is a good idea to be neighborly,” Latimer said. “Remember also to take precautions to keep yourself and your family warm and safe in these arctic conditions.”

“Before you go out in this extreme cold, dress yourself and your children appropriately in a hat, glove and multiple layers,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler. “When driving, keep blankets in your car in case of a breakdown. If you must spend time outdoors, take frequent breaks to warm up inside. Know and recognize the signs of frostbite and hypothermia.”

Hypothermia happens when a person exposed to cold loses heat faster than it can be produced. Warnings signs of hypothermia in adults include shivering, exhaustion, confusion, fumbling hands, memory loss, slurred speech and drowsiness. In infants, look for bright red, cold skin and low energy. If you see any of these signs, take the person’s temperature. If it is below 95 degrees, get medical attention immediately.

Frostbite is an injury that causes a loss of feeling and color and most often affects the nose, ears, cheeks, chin, fingers or toes. Frostbite can cause permanent damage. The risk is increased in people with reduced blood circulation and among people who are not dressed properly for extremely cold temperatures.

At the first signs of redness or pain in any skin area, get the person out of the cold or protect any exposed skin. Seek immediate medical care. Signs of frostbite include white or grayish-yellow skin, numbness or skin that feels unusually firm or waxy. Victims are often unaware of frostbite until someone else points it out because the frozen tissues are numb.

To avoid hypothermia and frostbite: Dress warmly in layers.

Be aware of the wind chill factor.

Work slowly when doing outside chores.

Take a buddy and an emergency kit when you participate in outdoor recreation.

Carry a cell phone.

Anyone in need of immediate shelter may contact the Westchester County Department of Social Services at 995-3333 (during business hours) or 995-2099 (after hours and on weekends).

Latimer said the county’s Department of Emergency Services, DES, and Health Department offers a broad range of practical advice to help residents prepare for a major winter storm and stay safe when one occurs, including: Avoid tragedy: never use a natural gas or propane stove or your kitchen oven to heat your home.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using alternate heating sources like space heaters and wood burning stoves.

Never place a space heater within three feet of anything that may catch on fire, such as drapes, furniture or bedding, on top of furniture or near water, and never cover your space heater.

Never leave children or pets unattended near a space heater, fireplace or wood burning stove.

“The tragic and devastating fire in the Bronx that killed 17 people on Sunday was caused by a faulty space heater,” said DES Commissioner Richard G. Wishnie. “ It reminds us that the winter season brings an increased fire risk from the use of space heaters, fireplaces and other heat sources. We urge everyone to take the necessary precautions to ensure that any such device is being used properly and safely.”

If the power goes out: •C all the local utility company to inform it of the power outage. Con Edison’s 24-hour hotline is 1-800-75-CONED (752-6633) and NYSEG’s hotline service is 1-800-5721131.

• Leave a light on to let you know when power has been restored.

• Use flashlights or battery-operated lanterns instead of candles, as candles are a fire hazard.

• Limit opening the refrigerator and freezer doors as much as possible.

•D o not operate electrical generators indoors (this includes the garage) as it could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Only use them outside in a well-ventilated area, far away and downwind from your home.

• I f you use a fireplace, wood stove or portable kerosene heater to stay warm, be sure to adequately ventilate to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide build up in your home.

County board makes history, elects women chairs The Board of Legislators began the 2022-2023 legislative term electing District 9 Legislator Catherine Borgia as chair, and District 6 Legislator Nancy Barr as vice chair, during a special meeting Monday night.

Borgia is only the second woman to serve as chair, following the late Lois Bronz, who chaired the board in 20022003. This is the first time in the board’s history that women will simultaneously fill both posts.

The election of Borgia and Barr followed the swearing in of all 17 legislators. Borgia becomes chair after a long career in public service: working in the New York State Assembly as a staffer for several years, serving on the village of Ossining Board of Trustees, and then serving two terms as supervisor of the Town of Ossining before being elected to the Board of Legislators in 2012.

Borgia served as Chair of the Board’s Government Operations Committee in 2012-2013 and

then as the Democratic Majority Leader for the 2014-2015 and 2016-2017 terms. She championed historic, life-changing legislation including the Immigrant Protection Act, Employee Earned Sick Leave, Safe Leave, the Fair Chance to Work Act, Co-op Disclosure, and the Wage History Discrimination Law. She served as the Board’s Budget and Appropriations Committee Chair for the 20182019 and 2020-2021 terms.

During that time, she worked with the County Executive’s administration and her colleagues on the Board to pass budgets that cut the county’s property tax levy and rebuilt the county’s reserve funds while investing in the county’s infrastructure and providing much needed services for county residents, especially during a global pandemic.

“I look forward to working with the County Executive, our new leadership team, the entire legislature, and our partners in federal, state and local gov-

ernment, to lead Westchester through this pandemic and on to better days,” Borgia said. “We will continue to provide the resources needed to help every resident of Westchester thrive.”

Barr comes to the office of vice chair having served on the Blind Brook School Board for six years, including as president and vice president. Barr was first elected to the Board of Legislators for the 2018-2019 term.

Since joining the Board, Barr has worked diligently on environmental issues, including passage of a ban on expanded polystyrene food containers and advocating for the expansion of the county’s compostable waste program. She has worked to protect county residents by introducing and passing the Wage Theft Law and championing the creation of the county’s Advisory Board on People with Disabilities. She was instrumental in raising the age to purchase tobacco from 18 to 21 years old.

Eagles earn win over Rye BOYS BASKETBALL

league

EASTCHESTER 60 RYE 41 RYE HS

1/6/22

Game Notes: • Michael Lawlor led Eastchester with 18 points • Jake Kessner had 22 for Rye • The Eagles are 7-1 on the year

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Over the first two months of the basketball season, few teams in Class A have been quite as hot as Eastchester. On Jan. 6, the Eagles proved why they’re becoming so feared as they authored a convincing 60-41 road win over league foe Rye. As the Eagles look ahead to more league games in the coming weeks, they are hoping that the win over the Garnets portends big things for the ballclub.

Although Rye came out of the

gates hot on Thursday, jumping out to a three-point lead after one quarter of play, the Eagles stormed back in the second to head into halftime up 30-23 and would not trail again for the rest of the game.

Although Eastchester had not played since Dec. 18, rust did not seem to be an issue for the Eagles. Michael Lawlor led Eastchester with 18 points, but the Eagles also showcased their offensive versatility as John Russell (15 points) and Brendan Sullivan (14) tallied double-digit point totals as well.

“I think that, as a team, this might have been the smoothest game we’ve had,” said Lawlor.

“Everyone seemed to flow together, we hit a lot of big shots and we played good defense.”

Defensively, Eastchester was able to lock down the Garnets after their initial surge by increasing pressure on Rye’s ball-handlers, leading to several fast-break points on the offensive end. According to Lawlor, defensive effort has been a constant for the Eagles, who are holding opposing teams to 54.5 points per game—a number that

SPORTS

would be even lower if not for a mid-December shootout against Nyack that saw the Eagles escape with a 70-69 victory.

“It’s something we’ve definitely been practicing for the entire season,” Lawlor said. “And I think we were really able to execute that tonight.”

Rye—which came into Thursday night’s game with a 4-3 record—was led by freshman Jake Kessner’s 22 points. The Garnets responded to the loss by winning their next two games against Harrison and Byram Hills to climb up the Class A standings. Eastchester (7-1) is the No. 2-ranked team in Class A behind unbeaten Tappan Zee and is 3-0 in league play. The Eagles will play Pelham (9-2) on Jan. 14, after press time, in an important matchup between two teams with designs on a league title.

“Obviously it’s a great way to start out the year; Rye is a tough team and it’s important to get a league win,” said Lawlor.” But we just have to build on this momentum, we can’t let up.”

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.

Sticks out for Teddy Mike Smith

Last week, the local sports community was rocked by an unimaginable tragedy when a Connecticut high school hockey player died from injuries he sustained during a junior varsity game.

On Jan. 6, Teddy Balkind, a 10th grader at the St. Luke’s School in New Canaan, was killed as a result of an on-ice collision during a contest against the Greenwich-based Brunswick School. The news spread quickly, first among local news outlets, then on social media, finally receiving national attention.

The horrific, shocking nature of the tragedy rightly struck a chord with the population at large, but— perhaps unsurprisingly—it was the hockey world’s reaction to last week’s events that truly spoke to how Balkind’s death affected those in the orbit of the sport.

There was a noticeable pall

that hung over high school games that were played in the days after Balkind’s death. At the Ice Hutch on Saturday, a moment of silence was held before each varsity game to acknowledge the monumental loss suffered by the sophomore’s family, friends and teammates. The hashtag #SticksoutforTeddy trended on Instagram to honor the gregarious youngster and his dedication to the sport. Athletic departments around the tri-state area offered their condolences and tributes, as did the National Hockey League and several professional organizations.

As a reporter, it was impossible for me to watch the action on the ice last weekend and not think about the terrible events that robbed a young man of his life, while also acknowledging the genuine, inspiring responses of his peers.

There’s something unique about the hockey community that is difficult to put a finger on. Perhaps more so than other sports, it’s an insular ecosystem, prone to protecting and championing

its own. Whether its growing accustomed to the early-morning skates, the travel or the proliferation of regional tournaments, there seems to be a deep-seated camaraderie in the youth hockey ranks; a feeling that, no matter what club you skate for, the sport fosters a true sense of family.

In that respect, Balkind’s death was viewed as not only a loss for the St. Luke’s community, but for hockey in general. I have no doubt that nearly every single person who laced up his or her skates last week did so with Teddy Balkind on their minds.

At least in the week since the tragedy, the general narrative has been primarily driven by reflections on Balkind’s life, his family, and his love for the sport.

There has not been a jump to assign blame for the incident— something we often see in the wake of deaths stemming from participation in contact sports— but instead an outpouring of support that was perhaps best illustrated by a statement released by the New Canaan Winter Club Hockey team for which Teddy
