White Plains Hospital named a ‘Best Hospital in America’ White Plains Hospital has been named one of the country’s Best Hospitals in the inaugural Money (formerly Money Magazine) national rankings. The hospital is one of just 148 in the nation—as well as one of only four in New York state, and the only hospital in Westchester County—to be included. “It is an honor to be listed among the best hospitals in the country,” said White Plains Hospital President and CEO Susan Fox. “At White Plains Hospital, quality has always been our North Star and patient safety is paramount to everything we do. In addition to our focus on quality, we are committed to providing advanced programs and services to the community, such as our new cardiac surgery and neurointerventional surgery programs.” Money partnered with the Leapfrog Group, a health care nonprofit that has been vetting hospitals for more than 20

years, to evaluate more than 2,200 hospitals for inclusion in the inaugural Best Hospitals List. Data from 39 performance measures reported in Leapfrog’s 2021 hospital survey was reviewed across seven different categories, including inpatient care management, adult and pediatric complex surgeries, pediatric care, medication safety, maternity care, outpatient procedures and infections. In addition, hospitals included in the Money Best Hospitals in America List must have earned an “A” letter grade on the Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade assessment for fall 2021. In May, White Plains Hospital received its 7th consecutive “A” from the Leapfrog Group for patient safety. The hospital remains the only health care facility in Westchester County, and one of only 19 hospitals in New York state, to receive the highest possible rating of “A.”

In what is an innovative public-private partnership, developers Wilder Balter Partners and LMXD and the city of New Rochelle begun construction on a $4 million transformation of Anderson Plaza and Anderson Street in downtown New Rochelle that is expected to be a bellwether for the city’s continued evolution as an inclusive, forward-thinking walkable city. Anderson Street is a one-way thoroughfare between North Avenue and LeCount Place in New Rochelle’s Downtown Overlay Zone, and Anderson Plaza is an adjoining, underutilized public open space. The renovated plaza will provide a versatile public retail corridor with bubbler play fountains, new seating options, refreshed landscaping, and a café building to help activate the space with complementary retail or local services. Roadway reconfigurations and regrading will allow traffic on Anderson Street to be controlled so the plaza and roadway can be temporarily pedestrianized and used as a welcoming outdoor event space for farmers’ markets, festivals, and live performances. With this project underway, and after three years of comprehensive planning with the renowned design firm Starr Whitehouse, the transformative project will enrich the public realm, enhance walkability and neighborhood vibrancy, and improve the quality-of-life of residents, while increasing foot traffic and activity. By creating a neighborhood focal point and adding value for the community, downtown residents, shoppers, and workers, this project will create an increasingly attractive environment for transit-oriented development in New

Rochelle. At the ceremonial groundbreaking on July 21, visitors were able to catch an early glimpse of what the plaza will look like through VR technology using NRVR, the city’s community engagement platform. The construction on Anderson Plaza is expected to be completed in early 2023. “The new Anderson Plaza renovation illustrates New Rochelle’s commitment to pedestrian-friendly urban design and to ensuring that economic development results in a stronger community with a higher quality of life for all of us.” said Mayor Noam Bramson. “I look forward to this enhanced space becoming a hub of positive activity that contributes to the health and vitality of our central business district and of our city as a whole.” Anderson Plaza is a product of extensive public-private negotiations as a result of the Downtown’s revitalization efforts. Other notable community amenities that have resulted from public-private partnerships include the Black Box Theater space at 595 Main St., and a community and gallery space to be operated by The Lincoln Park Conservancy, Inc. at 393 Huguenot St. “New Rochelle is a prime example of what busy New Yorkers dream of—everything young professionals or a growing family could want, just outside of New York City,” said Adam Salgado, Development Commissioner for the City of New Rochelle. “The redevelopment of Anderson Plaza is just one example of how we invest in our community and offer a welcoming, engaging, quality space for our neighbors.”

Extreme heat posts risks for people with dementia

THE REVIEW • July 29, 2022 • 3

Today, there are more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease, including approximately 40,000 people in the Hudson Valley.

As the temperatures rise, extreme heat can have a significant impact on everyone’s safety, but they can be especially stressful and confusing for individuals with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Alzheimer’s disease causes a number of changes in the brain and body that may affect their safety, including changes in sensitivity to temperatures. Today, there are more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s disease, including approximately 40,000 people in the Hudson Valley. Taking measures to plan ahead for weather changes, like extreme heat, can prevent injuries and help a person with dementia feel more relaxed and less overwhelmed. “People living with Alzheimer’s and other dementia can be vulnerable during extreme weather because their judgment may be impaired and they may be unable to communicate discomfort,” said Meg Boyce, vice president of Programs and Services for the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter. “It’s really important to take extra precautions with these individuals when there is extreme heat or other excessive weather conditions.” The Alzheimer’s Association is offering important safety tips for caregivers and families facing Alzheimer’s and other dementias to prepare for the hot summer months ahead: • Make a plan. Family and friends should prepare accordingly and make plans to regularly check-in on a person living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias during extreme heat. Arrange alternative plans for cooler spaces, if air conditioning is unavailable, and dress in loose, light clothing. • Pay attention at night. Keep people living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias cool by using fans and keeping the air conditioning on. At night, low temperatures can still exceed 75 degrees with little fluctuation in humidity levels, making for difficult and

exacerbating sleeping conditions, heightened anxiety and increased agitation. • Prepare for behavioral challenges. Research shows that heat can increase agitation and confusion in people. Try to remove behavioral triggers by addressing the person’s physical needs related to the heat, then tending to their emotional needs. • Stay hydrated. Increased water intake is essential to maintaining good hydration and health during extreme heat. Know the signs of heat exhaustion to avoid heat stroke. Dehydration may be difficult to notice in a person living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, as signs like increased fatigue, dry mouth and headache may be difficult to detect. People taking diuretics, sedatives, or certain heart medication may not sweat as much as others, but this does not mean that they are not hot. • Stay indoors and out of the sun. Heat stroke and heat exhaustion may occur in extreme heat conditions but symptoms may be difficult to detect in people living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Keep individuals cool by using air conditioning at home or move to a public place, such as a senior center or shopping mall. If you must go outside, be sure to dress appropriately, loose, light clothing, wear a hat, and apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 or higher. • Stay informed. Keep an eye on local weather forecasts. High temperatures are not the only cause for concern. Humidity and air pollution indices can cause breathing difficulties. The person should be monitored regularly and seek medical attention if symptoms arise of dehydration, heat exhaustion, or heat stroke. The Alzheimer’s Association is here to help families take measures to prepare for and cope with such extraordinary circumstances.

Health department promotes National Breastfeeding Month During World Breastfeeding Week, which runs from Aug. 1-7, and National Breastfeeding Month, in August, the Westchester County Department of Health is recognizing the public health contribution of breastfeeding mothers. “I encourage all new mothers to give breastfeeding a chance because breast milk is best for baby,” said county Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler. “It provides antibodies that can protect infants from diseases before they are fully vaccinated. It can reduce their risk of Sudden Infant Death and their risk of obesity later in life, and it also benefits mothers.” The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends infants breastfeed exclusively until they are six months old. In June, the Academy also issued new guidance urging pediatricians to support parents who continue to breastfeed after solid foods are introduced at six months, and up until the child is two or older. Through its Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, WIC, the Health Department supports mothers who breastfeed by providing them with breast pumps, additional nourishing food and the help of certified lactation counselors and peer counselors. Currently, 117 WIC moms are exclusively breastfeeding and 470 are partially breastfeeding. To promote the important benefits of breastfeeding and to honor exclusively breastfeeding WIC moms, the Westchester County Health Department WIC program has launched a virtual game they can play to compete for prizes based on their breastfeeding know-how. Participants will use clues to complete a crossword puzzle, then text or email their results to the WIC Program. Chosen via raffle on Aug. 1 to kick off World Breastfeeding Week and National Breastfeeding Month, winners will receive baby-re-

lated gifts donated by community partners and will be featured on the Health Department Facebook Page. Westchester WIC Breastfeeding Coordinator Angela Ngowi said: “This contest is a show of appreciation to breastfeeding mothers for giving their babies the best start in life. We introduce breastfeeding basics to pregnant WIC clients through our virtual breastfeeding classes, and help new mothers learn what to expect during delivery and beyond.” The crosswords are due July 29, and winners will be selected Aug. 1. Moms who are selected will be asked to take a selfie with their baby and send it in along with a few sentences about why breastfeeding their baby is important to them. Test your breastfeeding IQ* with these clues: 1. What is the healthiest way to feed your baby? 2. What protective substance found in breast milk can help build your baby’s immune system? 3. Name one thing a mom can do to maintain her milk supply when away from her baby? Amler also thanked local hospitals for helping new mothers as they start breastfeeding, and encouraged residents and businesses to support the efforts of mothers to continue breastfeeding as their babies grow. Benefits to babies who receive their mother’s milk: • fewer ear infections, respiratory infections and digestive infection; • lower risk of developing diabetes or cancer; • lower risk of developing asthma and allergies; • less likely to be obese later in life; and • less likely to die from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, SIDS. Benefits to women who breastfeed their infants: • recover faster after birth and tend to lose preg-

In recognition of the anniversary of ADA, county highlights the Office for People with Disabilities In honor of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA, of 1990, Westchester County Executive George Latimer is highlighting the critical services provided by the Office for People with Disabilities. The Office for People with Disabilities, which acts as a clearinghouse of information for people with disabilities, their families and advocates, places a special focus on connecting residents with the services they need. Through educational programs and awareness efforts, resource guides, and employment and transportation assistance, the Office for People with Disabilities is ensuring all residents have full and equal access to everything in Westchester County. “The ADA is one of our nation’s most crucial pieces of legislation that prohibits discrimination, and guarantees people with disabilities have equal access to all opportunities in life,” Latimer said. “Our Office for People with Disabilities ensures all entities in Westchester maintain compliance with our State and Federal laws that prohibit discrimination based on disability. We want everyone in Westchester to know they are welcome here – they will not be defined by their disability. I thank the Office for People with Disabilities for their efforts today, and every day, in working to make sure Westchester County is a safe and accessible place for all.” One of the keystone programs for the Office for People with Disabilities is the Disability Awareness Program, which has been provided

for 16 years.

It teaches students the skills needed to ride public transportation in a safe and responsible manner.

· Reduced Fare Service for the Bee-Line Bus – People with disabilities may travel the BeeLine Bus system at a reduced fare in conjunction with the Metro Card Reduced Fare System. Sign Language Interpreting - Those in need of a sign language interpreter can call the Westchester County Office for People with Disabilities for referral and advocacy services.

HARRISON CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT ANNUAL NEWS RELEASE - PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT

SNAP/TANF/FDPIR Households: Households that currently include children who receive the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) but who are not found during the Direct Certification Matching Process (DCMP), or households that currently receive Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) must complete an application listing the child’s name, a valid SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number and the signature of an adult household member. Eligibility for free meal benefits based on participation in SNAP, TANF or FDPIR is extended to all children in the household. When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of their children’s eligibility for free meals based on their participation in the SNAP, TANF or the FDPIR programs. No application is necessary if the household was notified by the SFA their children have been directly certified. If the household is not sure if their children have been directly certified, the household should contact the school. Other Source Categorical Eligibility: When known to the School Food Authority, households will be notified of any child’s eligibility for free meals based on the individual child’s designation as Other Source Categorically Eligible, as defined by law. Children are determined Other Source Categorically Eligible if they are Homeless, Migrant, Runaway, A foster child, or Enrolled in Head Start or an eligible pre-kindergarten program. If children or households receive benefits under Assistance Programs or Other Source Categorically Eligible Programs and are not listed on the notice of eligibility and are not notified by the School Food Authority of their free meal benefits, the parent or guardian should contact the school or should submit an income application. Other Households: Households with income the same or below the amounts listed above for family size may be eligible for and are urged to apply for free and/or reduced price meals (or free milk). They may do so by completing the application sent home with the letter to parents. One application for all children in the household should be submitted. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. Applications may be submitted any time during the school year to Jane Kelleher, Harrison Central School District, 50 Union Avenue, Harrison, NY 10528. Please contact Mrs. Kelleher at 914-630-3010 with any questions regarding the application process. Households notified of their children’s eligibility must contact the School Food Authority if they choose to decline the free meal benefits. Households may apply for benefits at any time throughout the school year. Children of parents or guardians who become unemployed or experience a financial hardship mid-year may become eligible for

free and reduced price meals or free milk at any point during the school year. For up to 30 operating days into the new school year (or until a new eligibility determination is made, whichever comes first) an individual child’s free or reduced price eligibility status from the previous year will continue within the same SFA. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved, the children’s meals must be claimed at the paid rate. Though encouraged to do so, the SFA is not required to send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used for determining eligibility. The names and eligibility status of participants may also be used for the allocation of funds to federal education programs such as Title I and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), State health or State education programs, provided the State agency or local education agency administers the programs, and for federal, State or local means-tested nutrition programs with eligibility standards comparable to the NSLP. Eligibility information may also be released to programs authorized under the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) or the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The release of information to any program or entity not specifically authorized by the NSLA will require a written consent statement from the parent or guardian. The School Food Authority does, however, have the right to verify at any time during the school year the information on the application. If a parent does not give the school this information, the child/children will no longer be able to receive free or reduced price meals (free milk). Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. A separate application for a foster child is no longer necessary. Foster children may be listed on the application as a member of the family where they reside. Applications must include the foster child’s name and personal use income. Under the provisions of the policy, the designated official will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the designated official, he/ she may make a request either orally or in writing for a hearing to appeal the decision. Dr. Louis N. Wool, Superintendent of Schools and Timothy Whipple Asst. Supt. for Business, whose address is 50 Union Avenue, Harrison, NY 10528 have been designated as the Hearing Official. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. However, prior to initiating the hearing procedure, the parent or School Food Authority may request a conference to provide an opportunity for the parent and official to discuss the situation, present information, and obtain an explanation of the data submitted in the application or the deci-

Locals hoop it up at Hudson Park By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

On a sweltering night in July, scenic Hudson Park in Irvington was abuzz with local hoopers testing their mettle under the lights in the long-running O’Hara Summer Basketball League. For decades now, ‘The O’Hara’ has served not only as a staple summer activity but also a place for high school teams to get valuable off-season work in. Even though the varsity season might be months away, programs have been using the summer league to evaluate talent and foster a sense of on-court chemistry between players. On July 25, the Rye Neck basketball team was one of several clubs in action, taking on host Irvington in the first round of the playoff tournament that concludes the months-long summer season. And while the Panthers were pleased with a 46-45 that helped them keep their run alive, the focus is more on building for the winter season. Rising Rye Neck senior RJ Hutt—who led the Panthers in scoring for the 2021-22 season— noted that the success Rye Neck had last year seems to have lit a fire under the team’s returning players. Rye Neck finished last season with an 18-4 record in a stacked Class B and are hoping to improve upon the strides the team made last year. Though the team graduated a few important cogs on last years team, they are working on retooling for the upcoming campaign with a few new faces, including younger players looking to break into the varsity ranks and transfers like senior point guard Ethan Lithgow, who is returning to Rye Neck from a year at Monsignor Scanlan High School. “We are missing some guys, we lost some guys who graduated, but we’re working hard to get better,” said Hutt. “We’re working to get better every day.” The Panthers aren’t the only ones who

have had that idea either; the O’Hara Summer Basketball league features 16 teams total—eight boys teams and eight girls teams— including squads from Rye and Eastchester High School. The chance to compete against other high school programs—and work on ingame scenarios that will likely pop up during the year—has been invaluable, explained Hutt. On Monday night, the Panthers found themselves defending a small lead with time running out, allowing them to work on lategame strategy against motivated opponents. “It’s important to work on those situations because we’re going to see them during the year,” said Hutt. “It’s just preparation for what we’re trying to do.” CONACT: sports@hometwn.com

Champs Boxers take center stage in Ring Masters Tournament By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

On July 23, two local fighters saw their campaigns for a Ring Masters championship come up just short, as Rafael Castillo and Cat Martinez—both representing Champs Boxing Club—fell in the double-elimination finals held at John’s Boxing Gym in the Bronx. Despite their eventual defeats in the finals, however, both Martinez and Castillo believes that they learned valuable lessons competing in the months-long tournament. On Saturday, Martinez and Castillo—competing in the 125 Elite Female and 139 Elite Male divisions respectively—took part in the Ring Masters Remix Double Elimination Finals, the final leg of a National Golden Gloves qualifier tournament that began in March. The competition, which was presented by USA Boxing Metro, featured some of the top amateur boxers from the area and played out in venues across Westchester, New York City and Long Island. The finals offered the Champs Boxing Club duo one more chance against opponents they had become quite familiar with during the tournament, they both faced their finals foes for a third and decisive rubber match with the crown on the line. Martinez dropped a unanimous decision to Gleason Athletic Club’s Jaclyn McAl-

lister in a spirited bout, while Castillo found himself on the short end of a split decision against Antonino Tantillo should be fighting out of NYC Cops and Kids Boxing Club. Martinez said that coming into Saturday’s bout, she was well aware of her opponent’s power, and even though she hoped to use her speed to her advantage, she found herself drawn into an electric slugfest that ultimately ended up benefitting the Gleason’s product. “She’s a big, strong girl, so my plan was to outbox her,” said Martinez. “But I think I got caught up and brawled with her.” Castillo and Tantillo’s third fight was no less exciting, as the two spent the better part of three rounds exchanging blistering combinations. “That second fight was where [Tantillo] made his adjustments so I switched some things up this time around, tried to get him to chase me a little bit and meet him in the middle,” said Castillo. “I think it worked out for me a little bit better.” Both Champs boxers said that the event truly tested their mettle and helped them find out more about who they were, both as fighters and individuals. Martinez, who started boxing in 2019, said that her showing in the tournament reaffirmed her faith in her abilities. “I learned that I have a lot of heart and I can take a

big punch,” said Martinez. “I fight against people with a lot more experience than me, I spar with people who have a lot more experience than me, and I feel like I can go out and compete against anybody.” Castillo added that he welcomed the chance to square off against some of the top fighters in the area and that the experience he gained during the tournament should serve him well in the future. “It was a great tournament, it was long, but it was a lot of fun,” added Castillo. “I got experience against some of the best amateurs in New York City, so that only makes you better.” Contact: sports@hometwn.com
