YSW, Westchester DA partner to reduce racial disparities The Youth Shelter of Westchester and county District Attorney’s Office announce an innovative partnership with the Vera Institute of Justice, pledging to reduce racial disparities in the Westchester criminal legal system by at least 20% during 2022. As part of its Motion for Justice program, Vera Institute will provide financial support and resources to both local partners. The Youth Shelter of Westchester and the district attorney’s office are one of only 12 community

organization and prosecutor’s office partners across the country to receive the grant. The grant includes: • Policy and strategy recommendations. • Data on the disparate impact of prosecution practices on Black people and other marginalized communities.-Educational materials and programming designed and delivered in partnership with people from communities most impacted by the criminal legal system.

• Financial support to a community-based organization that partners with prosecutors to implement racially equitable policies and practices. The Motion for Justice program creates pathways for prosecutors to bridge the gap between law enforcement agencies and the communities they serve to create lasting policies and practices that tackle the racial injustices deeply rooted in the criminal legal system. As part of this program, prosecutors have an opportuni-

ty to partner with a community based organization to disrupt and rectify the decisions and policies that have historically targeted and harmed marginalized communities and inspire others across the country to adopt similar measures to address the racial inequities in the criminal legal system. “This partnership allows us to collectively examine the policies and practices that shape key decisions prosecutors make,” said RACIAL continued on page 11

District Attorney Miriam E. Rocah announced Monday that the courts have granted her petition to dismiss all marijuana cases involving felony and misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession or sale. “Dismissing all marijuana cases, including underlying bench warrants, has been a priority of mine, and the legislature’s repeal of Article 221 was long overdue,” Rocah said. “The decriminalization of marijuana possession is critical given the discriminatory way marijuana laws have been used to incarcerate people of color. While Black and white Americans used marijuana at similar rates, people of color are much more likely to be arrested than white Americans for marijuana possession. Our office is committed to reducing this disparity and the dismissal of these cases is an important step.” Despite roughly equal usage rates, Black people are 3.73 times more likely than white people to be arrested for marijuana. “The decriminalization of low-level marijuana-related of-

fenses will prevent people from getting unnecessarily involved with the criminal justice system,” she said. “Having to disclose an arrest and record can impact many facets of their life,

“The decriminalization of lowlevel marijuana-related offenses will prevent people from getting unnecessarily involved with the criminal justice system,” – County DA Miriam Rocah

including limiting employment and housing opportunities.” A total of 184 cases have been dismissed by the Westchester District Attorney’s Office. The DA’s Office will not go forward with prosecuting future violations or misdemeanors. In local court, prosecutors will continue to identify warrants for standalone marijuana charges that would no longer be prosecutable and will calendar these cases, recall the warrants and dismiss the charges.

County offers free back to school vaccine clinics The Westchester County Department of Health will now book appointments for its free back-toschool vaccine clinics in Yonkers on Mondays and Thursdays from July 26 through the end of August and on Friday in White Plains from July 23 through the end of August for children to have the vaccines they need for school. “Our clinics have the vaccines children need to start their in-person learning on time, including COVID-19 vaccines for children ages 12 and older” said county Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler. “I also encourage families with their own healthcare provider to call now and avoid the September rush, because there are many families who must catch up on visits they missed during the past pandemic year.” All children who do not have their required immunizations must have their first dose of vaccinations within 14 days from the first day of school. This require-

ment follows legislation enacted in 2019 that removed non-medical exemptions for children in public, private or parochial school through 12th grade as well as childcare programs. Parents and guardians of these children must show that they have made appointments for all required follow-up doses within 30 days of the start of school. The county Health Department can help. Families with no insurance, ChildHealth Plus or Medicaid, should call the county Health Department to schedule an appointment for vaccines at no charge. Call 995-5800 to find out if you qualify and to make an appointment for these back to school clinics: • At the county Health Department, 20 S. Broadway, 2nd floor in Yonkers: Mondays, July 26, through Aug. 30 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdays, July 29 through Aug. 26, 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. • At the county Health Department, 134 Court St., in White Plains:

Connect with us on

Fridays, July 23 through Aug. 27, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone who would like a COVID-19 vaccine is welcome to come to these clinics with no appointment during these times. The Westchester County Department of Health provides free immunizations by appointment to eligible children and students of all ages who are uninsured or whose insurance does not cover vaccines. Ask your healthcare provider which vaccines your children need. All 7th- and 12th-graders must get the meningococcal vaccine, and all students must be vaccinated against whooping cough, measles and mumps. Health Navigators available through the Health Department can help families and individuals sign up for the health insurance they need. Those without a regular doctor can learn where to go for ongoing primary care. For more information, call 995-6350. (Submitted)

Electric Kingdom Studios, a brand-new recording complex situated in Westchester County, just a half-hour north of New York City, is—to put it simply— like no other studio in operation today. The facility—conceived, designed and built to the specifications of multi-platinum producer, engineer, composer and recording artist Gordon Bahary—offers the unbeatable combination of the finest modern analog equipment along with a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. “We’ve made Electric Kingdom homey: Persian rugs, pianos, and warm, earthy colors,” Bahary said. “And there’s the convenience versus the city. Musicians have said ‘I can’t believe I can park in the driveway and put my guitar on my back and walk in and record.’ They see a hundred acres of adjoining woods. That’s the vibe. I made this studio for creativity. I engineer all the projects and work with producers and artists.” The centerpiece of this magnificent private facility is a new Rupert Neve 5088 32-channel console, providing the highest analog audio quality available today. One of less than a dozen of this configuration in existence worldwide, this console was carefully chosen. It includes a 32-channel SwiftMix motorized fader system for complex mixes, working seamlessly with Pro Tools and other DAW’s. But, Bahary adds, emphasizing the classic qualities that guide the aesthetic of Electric Kingdom, “The incredible 5052 EQ/mic preamps are my favorite ever, with the classic Neve sound we all love and more. You can dial-in the harmonics and textures of the 60’s, 70’s, or 80’s. The 5051 EQ/compressors are more of the same. The console runs on 96 volts, which is high voltage, allowing for incredible dynamics and low distortion. The great Mr. Rupert Neve made this console a ‘greatest hits’ of all his lifetime’s work. It’s all about tone and beauty.” Combining this top-tier console with 50 of the very best outboard EQ’s and compressors available, two spacious live rooms, a balanced Yamaha C7 Conservatory grand piano in impeccable condition, ATC

45A Studio Reference monitors, sought-after FET and tube microphones—makes Electric Kingdom the dream studio in which an artist can create. There is even the new Moog One—the most powerful analog synthesizer ever made by Moog. But this collection of the finest recording equipment isn’t the full story. Every artist who chooses to record at EK will benefit from Bahary’s vast engineering and producing experience. “This studio is for rent only with me as the engineer,” he says, assuring prospective clients that their music will be handled at the highest level. Gordon Bahary has worn numerous hats during his multi-decade career. Back in the early

1980s, as an artist/writer/producer he sold 7 million copies of his Billboard R&B Top 10 hit, “Electric Kingdom,” which was voted No. 8 song of all time in its genre by Rolling Stone —hence the name of the studio. He’s collaborated closely with such giants of the music industry as Stevie Wonder (two albums), Herbie Hancock and Ramsey Lewis, among many others. He was asked by Wonder to be his staff producer for Wondirection/Motown Records. Bahary has also produced and engineered numerous recordings by a wide range of artists, and is currently scoring music for film and TV. His years in the business and diversity have given Bahary the ability to create the world-class

studios that he now operates. Walking into Electric Kingdom, artists and producers will immediately be overwhelmed by the sheer volume and quality of gear assembled for their use. Bahary handpicked equipment from many brands of recording consoles and put them in a rack. “You’ve got many flavors, plus the Rupert Neve Designs 5088, and a rebuilt MCI / Mara 24-track 2” analog tape machine for that unforgettable sound,” he says. In particular, Electric Kingdom, which can comfortably accommodate up to 7 musicians, will appeal to artists working within the fields of jazz, rock, orchestral music, folk, and R&B. Although he is a pioneer of the synthesizer, Bahary’s heart

also lies within the natural feel of acoustic-based music, particularly in this studio, which is designed to bring out the best in acoustic instruments. In order to best capture and enhance those sounds, he decided to stress analog “Class A Discreet” gear when designing EK. Bahary—who has been an engineer for 40 years—calls his approach to recording at Electric Kingdom ‘organic’. “The final result,” he says, “is the rich musicality that comes out of the older equipment designs but with new components. We’re bringing back the old, but with today’s clarity and dependability. It’s the purest reproduction of audio available, but with the soul intact.” (Submitted)

Smart speakers and Health University team creates heartbeat detection skill for devices

Smart speakers can set a kitchen timer and tell you tomorrow’s weather, but they can also perform high-tech medical skills like monitoring babies breathing and detecting cardiac arrest. Now, researchers at University of Washington have developed another impressive skill for the devices: monitoring regular and irregular heartbeats without physical contact. Using a newly designed algorithm, the process itself is pretty simple: A person sits 1 to 2 feet away from the smart speaker. The speaker sends out an inaudible signal, which bounces off their body. The way the sound is reflected back to the speaker allows it to identify the heartbeat and whether it is regular or irregular with the use of deep learning, said lead author Anran Wang, a doctoral student in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. Researchers tested the system on healthy participants and hospitalized cardiac patients. The smart speaker detected heartbeats that closely matched

the beats detected by standard heartbeat monitors. The findings were published in the journal Communications Biology. “Regular heartbeats are easy enough to detect even if the signal is small, because you can look for a periodic pattern in the data. But irregular heartbeats are really challenging because there is no such pattern,” said co-senior author Shyam Gollakota, an associate professor in the Allen School. “I wasn’t sure that it would be possible to detect them, so I was pleasantly surprised that our algorithms could identify irregular heartbeats during tests with cardiac patients.” Rhythm disorders cause the heart to beat too fast or too slowly and can lead to potentially fatal complications such as strokes, said Dr. Arun Sridhar, assistant professor of cardiology at the University of Washington School of

Medicine. The algorithm combines signals from all of the smart speaker’s multiple microphones to identify the elusive heartbeat signal similarly to the way it can find you voice even if the TV is playing and multiple people are talking in the room, Gollakota said. This low-cost test could be performed frequently and conveniently at home, and may be a game-changer in terms of early diagnosis and management, Sridhar said. “I am most excited about the potential of what a cheap, ubiquitous hardware such as smart speakers can bring to us,” Wang said. “Those consumer devices are more and more popular in everyone’s homes, and we are excited that other than playing music and making phone calls, they can protect our health, too.” Currently the system is set up for heart rhythm spot checks, but future versions

could continuously monitor heartbeats while people are asleep, something that could help diagnose conditions such as sleep apnea. “In addition to abnormalities in heart rhythm, such as atrial fibrillation or bradycardia (slow heart rate), this type of technology can also detect abnormalities in respiratory patterns,” said Dr. Dan Nguyen, clinical instructor and coronary care unit nocturnist, University of Washington Division of Cardiology. “This is the future of cardiology,” Sridhar said. “As the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us, health care can feasibly be provided to patients in the comfort of their home,” Nguyen said. “This is especially important for patients who live in remote areas far from their physicians, where travel to a doctor’s appointment can take the entire day. I think that technology such as our smart speaker can play an important role in improving health care accessibility in the U.S. — connecting patients to their doctors with readily available technology.”

What you don’t know about

eating disorders Recovery is very possible, but it is hard to recover from an eating disorder on your own MEGAN MIKHAIL, MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

Misinformation, stigma, shame. An eating disorder is not some passing phase that only affects young white women. They are serious mental illnesses that can affect anyone of any age or race. They thrive in secrecy, and have spiked during the pandemic. In addition to more accurate awareness, improved prevention, detection and treatments are needed for eating disorders, which come with an annual cost of nearly $400 billion when considering both economic costs and reduced wellbeing, according to a study published in the International Journal of Eating Disorders. “Eating disorders are conditions which exist in plain sight,” said psychiatrist Dr. Melissa Pereau, a medical director at Loma Linda University Behavioral Health in California. “Oftentimes, even families do not know that a loved one is struggling with disordered eating until medical issues present. I think awareness through education is needed, but also better education about treatment options.” Eating disorders are both psychiatric and medical in nature and pose grave potential for medical complications, Pereau said. Much more common than people real-

ize, as many as 10% of women will experience a clinically significant eating disorder in their lifetime, and even more people struggle with body image concerns or disordered eating that does not meet the threshold for a diagnosis, said Megan Mikhail, a clinical science researcher in the Klump Lab at Michigan State University. “Eating disorders can look very different from person to person,” she said. “Some people may restrict their food intake or engage in excessive exercise, while others may experience binge eating. While eating disorders often begin in adolescence, they affect people of all ages, as well as all weights and body shapes.” So much misinformation exists. “People equate eating disorders with anorexia nervosa stereotypes only, which does a huge injustice to all of the people out there suffering from different ancestries, genders, body shapes and sizes and socioeconomic backgrounds,” said Cynthia Bulik, founding director of the University of North Carolina Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders. Because eating disorders thrive in isolation the pandemic became a perfect breeding ground, worsening disorders for those already struggling or bringing

on a relapse of symptoms for others who had recovered previously, Bulik said. Eating disorders are complex, biologically based illnesses, never a person’s fault or a choice that they are making, Mikhail said. People who may be struggling with disordered eating should take an inventory of what they are seeing on social media, which can be a potentially harmful influence that can affect body image and self-worth, Pereau said. When online, stick to groups that specifically promote body positivity and consider taking a hiatus from or deleting apps which encourage a culture of body shaming, she said. “When on video conferences, put a sticky note on the screen to cover your own picture so that you are not inclined to body check [obsessively focus on features of your own body] throughout the meeting,” Pereau said. “There has been so much emphasis on weight gain during the pandemic, or people who are using this opportunity to ‘have work done’ or to change their weight and shape, and of course there is all of the social comparison that occurs on social media,” Bulik said. “This is a real trap for individuals with eating disorders because it is so easy to assume that

the images we see are real and not the curated perfect images that people choose to project in social media.” It is never too early or too late to seek treatment, Mikhail said. “Recovery is very possible, but it is hard to recover from an eating disorder on your own,” she said. Seek out a therapist, especially a provider trained in evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Seeking social support, practicing mindfulness of your mood and emotions, and engaging in activities that bring meaning to your life outside of your eating disorder may be helpful steps to recovery, Mikhail said. Use reflection. Write a list of the things you like about your body, keeping in mind functional aspects such as “my strong arms which carry my child,” Pereau said. Add a list of the things about yourself that make you proud, completely unrelated to your body. Write down positive body affirmations on small sticky notes and place them in locations most likely to body check, including on mirrors. Visit nationaleatingdisorders.org for virtual support groups, mentorship and education about eating disorders.

State establishes new exit numbers on Hutch

RACIAL from page 1

Drivers on the Hutchinson River Parkway may have noticed that the exit numbers are changing. As part of a New York State Department of Transportation, DOT, project to install new re-

flective signs, the DOT is also transitioning to a mileage-based exit numbering system, replacing the consecutive exit numbering system. Under the new system, exit numbers correspond to mileage

markers. So, an exit between mileage markers 1 and 2, will be numbered Exit 1. If there are additional exits before mileage marker 2, the exits will have letters added—1A, 1B, 1C, etc. (Submitted)

This table from the New York State Department of Transportation shows the old consecutive exit numbers and the corresponding new mileage-based exit numbers. Northbound

Joanne Dunn, executive director of the Youth Shelter. “As an organization that serves young people, particularly Black and Brown youth who are on the receiving side of the prosecutor’s decisions, we are able to help prosecutors better understand the life experiences and challenges these young people face. Our expertise lies in our ability to view the justice system through a lens of racial equity and recommend sentences that consider the whole person, not simply a particular offense.” The District Attorney’s office said, “This office has partnered with the Youth Shelter to establish a special court in Mount Vernon for young adults aged 18 to 25 who are charged with crimes. Called the Mount Vernon Emerging Adult Justice Part, the court pursues alternatives to conventional prosecution for young people who meet eligibility requirements. With the involvement of Motion for Justice, our office and the Youth shelter can dedicate additional resources to staff and support

this important new court.” Jami Hodge, director of the Reshaping Prosecution initiative at the Vera Institute of Justice said, “As a former prosecutor, I know the unique and immense power that prosecutors wield. They can either perpetuate the injustices of the criminal legal system or work to rectify them. Local prosecutors are on the frontlines of justice and thus have the responsibility and discretion to address the racial inequities inherent in the criminal legal system. We are far past time for prosecutors to operate through a racial equity lens and in partnership with the community, so I am thrilled to partner with both the Youth Shelter of Westchester and the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office to tackle the deep-rooted injustices that continue to plague our communities.” Other partners in Motion for Justice include Suffolk County District Attorney Rachael Rollins in Massachusetts, Ingham County Prosecuting Attorney Carol Siemon in Michigan,

Ramsey County Attorney John Choi in Minnesota, city of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, and Commonwealth’s Attorney for Arlington County and the city of Falls Church Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Stephen Descano and OAR in Virginia; Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit and Washtenaw County My Brothers Keeper in Michigan; Athens-Clarke County District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez and People Living in Recovery in Georgia; Chatham County (Savannah) District Attorney Shalena Cook Jones and Savannah Feed the Hungry in Georgia; Kauai Prosecuting Attorney Justin Kollar and Hale Opio Kaua’i in Hawaii; city of St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner and Freedom Community Center in Missouri; Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears and Horizon House in Indiana; and Franklin County District Attorney Matt Fogel in Pennsylvania.

Olympic fever LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

I don’t want to seem like a curmudgeon, I don’t want to seem like a cynic, and I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade. But for the life of me, I just haven’t been able to get into these Tokyo Olympics. At least not as into them as I usually am. Normally? I can’t get enough of the games. You give me a narrative about an aging icon from the United States trying to add to his or her lifetime medal count in what could be their final goaround? I’m hooked. You give me a plucky underdog story about an athlete from an unlikely country defying the odds and turning heads? I’m tuning in. Heck, I’ve even been known to get caught up in a 2 a.m. replay of a handball qualifier between Slovenia and Ecuador. I’m a sports fan. All I need is

a compelling storyline and a competition whose rules don’t completely elude me, and I’m all in. But this year feels different, and I don’t know if I can pinpoint exactly why. I’m ashamed to admit that part of it comes down to the fact that, the older I get, the harder I find it to locate the events I want to watch. Are the 100-meter freestyle finals on NBC? NBC Sports? USA.com+ Streaming Brought to You By Quibi? But talking about these Tokyo Games without discussing the impact that coronavirus has had on the world—and even the event itself—is pretty much impossible. There are those who believe that the IOC even holding these games as numbers begin to spike around the world is a testament, not to competition, but to greed. There have been the difficult-to-hear reports of Olympic athletes from countries ravaged by the pandemic getting vaccinated before higher-risk individuals. And with no fans allowed in Japan to cheer these athletes on, the

SPORTS

atmosphere has just felt off from the start. I always think of the Olympics as one of the great demonstrations of global unity. Sure, the Games have oft been used as vehicles to promote the ideals of various regimes around the world, but at their very purest, they are a wonderful testament to perseverance and togetherness, wrapped up in sport. The Olympic Games are a celebration, but it seems like this celebration seems to be a bit premature. Sure, there are many in America—such as myself—who are eager to put memories of the pandemic behind us, but if the empty stands at Olympic arenas prove anything, it’s that we’re not out of the woods quite yet. But the amazing thing about the Olympic Games is how quickly they can grab you. When I sat down to begin writing this story, I was settling in to watch Lilly King defend her 2016 gold medal in the 100m breaststroke. And then out of nowhere, her countryman, 17-year-old Alaskan Lydia

Jacoby turned on the jets in the last 50 meters, edging King and Tanya Schoenmaker in a dramatic finish, sending a massive watch party in her home state into hysterical celebration and … oh boy,

I’m starting to get excited. Ultimately, that’s the thing about the Olympics. You never know when something is going to grab you. But when it does, well, you’re hooked.

So I better figure out what channel everything is on for the rest of the week.

Eastchester unlocks highlight vault By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Tony Panio might not have known quite what he was getting into when he first started combing through the Eastchester football program’s film archives last spring, but the result has been a fortuitous one, both for the Eagles’ assistant football coach and the Eastchester community at large. Over the past four months, Panio’s deep dive into the history of the program has given rise to weekly “vault watch parties,” in which Eagles’ players—past and present—relived some of the program’s most significant games via YouTube streams, complete with game film and analysis from the Eagles’ assistant coach and some of the alumni who lived through the team’s watershed moments. To date, Eastchester’s weekly watch parties have spotlighted a dozen games from the 1983 through 2015 seasons, but Panio admits that his initial trip into

the school’s film archives had a much narrower focus. Prior to the team’s April 10 meeting against a vaunted Rye this year, Panio hoped to inspire his players by digging up the team’s 2009 upset win over the Garnets—a game in which Eastchester ended Rye’s 59-game winning streak. “That was such a great game, a huge celebration afterwards, and I don’t think the current kids really knew anything about this game,” Panio said. “So that gave me the idea that we had some really great games out there that we wanted the players to see.” Beginning on May 6, Panio decided to upload one classic game per week—starting with the team’s wild 2007 victory over Harrison—that helped illuminate some of the potentially forgotten moments in the program’s history. “The thought process is ‘how do we get to that next level,’ and we wanted to show what some of these past teams have done, break down why they’ve been successful,” said Panio. “This

generation loves YouTube and social media so this seemed like a great way to do that.” In watching some of these historical games, Eastchester’s current crop of athletes has also gotten the chance to see members of its coaching staff—including both Panio and head coach Fred DiCarlo—suit up for the Eagles. “A couple of the guys were criticizing Coach Fred for some of his passes [in the 1984 conference championship game against Brewster],” said Panio. “But then [DiCarlo] leads the team on a 90yard drive for the win and it’s important for them to see that, too.” Panio noted that it’s not only the Eagles’ current players who have benefitted from the weekly vault sessions, however. In highlighting some of the games from the 1980s and 90s, Panio said that he’s seen alumni begin reforge friendships as they relive their glory days in the YouTube clips. “Some of these older groups, they may not have really spoken in 20 to 25 years, but they start-

ed exchanging numbers, making plans to meet up,” he said. “To see that, and to see the passion, has been an awesome thing.” On July 22, Panio announced that the vault would be taking a hiatus as the team begins to

prepare for the upcoming season, but noted that he expects to bring it back at some point over the winter with a new slate of games and alumni interviews. “Ultimately, we want everyone to feel like this is ‘their’

program and we want to show the guys that this goes well beyond football,” said Panio. “I’ve just had so much fun doing this, it’s never felt like work.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
