Westchester to host virtual Sept. 11 ceremony Westchester County’s 2020 Sept. 11, Ceremony will be held virtually due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The online ceremony will honor the thousands of lives lost during the Sept. 11 attacks, and all those we have lost in the years following. In an effort to pay tribute to those who have died, Westchester County government is asking family members of those who were killed on 9/11, or those who

have died of 9/11-related illnesses to read the names of those who have passed during the virtual ceremony. Similarly, because of pandemic precautions, the New York City ceremony will not include personal messages spoken by victims’ families. In its place, recorded names from the

National September 11 Memorial & Museum’s “In Memoriam” exhibition will be used. If you would like to participate in the Westchester county ceremony, please send an email to Communications@WestchesterGov.com with your full name and contact information. (Submitted)

IHM, Archdiocese file cross claims against Gaynor By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Over the last two weeks, both the Archdiocese of New York and the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Scarsdale have sought to distance themselves from Edwin Gaynor, the former teacher at the center of an ongoing sexual abuse lawsuit. Since July 15, the Archdiocese and IHM have filed cross claims contending that Gaynor alone should bear full responsibility in the current Child Victims Act suit, and that any financial judgment against the Archdiocese or IHM should fall directly on him. All three parties are co-defendants in the case. “If plaintiff recovers herein, it will be by virtue of the intentional, reckless, careless, negligent, grossly negligent, wanton, willful, malicious, or criminal conduct of defendant Edwin Gaynor and not of IHM, for which IHM demands judgment for contribution and indemnification for any judgment,” reads the claim filed by lawyers for the Scarsdale church. Since November of last year, 21 accusers have come forward with allegations of abuse against Gaynor, now 85, who worked in some capacity for at least three different Westchester parishes from 1959 to 1986. The Archdiocese and IHM—along with Holy Rosary in Hawthorne— are named as co-defendants for their negligence pertaining to Gaynor’s continued employment and their failure to protect children from sexual abuse. Claims by both the Archdiocese and IHM say that any finding for the plaintiffs should be interpreted as a result of Gaynor’s misconduct and not as a result of any wrongdoing or inaction by the other two co-defendants. But the recent filings do not address the allegations of several accusers, who claim

in their lawsuits that church and school officials were repeatedly made aware of Gaynor’s behavior. Six of the 21 accusers contend that either they or their parents alerted school officials about the abuse, only to have their claims dismissed by parish leadership. One anonymous plaintiff claimed he told the Holy Rosary Monsignor about the abuse in 1971, only to be forced to perform three hours of prayer and write “God Loves Me” on a chalkboard 100 times as penance. Another plaintiff, David Fox, recalls telling IHM Msgr. John J. Caldwell, only to be called a “liar” and removed from Caldwell’s office. Dan O’Hare, who replaced Gaynor as the IHM basketball coach and gym teacher around 1967, confirmed in a sworn deposition that he was made aware by a parish priest that Gaynor was removed from his position because he had improperly touched a student. Despite this information, O’Hare admitted that Gaynor’s dismissal was never further addressed by anyone at IHM, even as Gaynor would return to the Scarsdale campus at least once per year in his new capacity as the basketball coach at Holy Rosary. Gaynor would also return to coach at IHM at some point in the 1980s. The co-defendants’ new claims follow numerous failed attempts to limit Gaynor’s involvement in the proceedings. Previously, motions had been filed to strike Gaynor’s written testimony—admitting guilt in two of the cases—from the record, and force him to undergo a competency hearing before being deposed. To date, Gaynor has refused legal counsel representation. CLAIMS continued on 4

Latimer announces restart of document shredding events County Executive George Latimer announced that the immensely popular secure mobile shredder events started up again on Aug. 1—events that have been on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The county’s two shredder trucks visit municipalities throughout Westchester providing secure, confidential document shredding services to residents. These events have proven to be tremendously popular. In 2019, thousands of residents took advantage of this program, where each visitor is permitted to bring up to four file-size boxes of personal papers; the county shredded almost 700 tons of documents. The county’s Department of Environmental Facilities, DEF, the agency that operates the shredder program, works with a contractor to market and sell the recyclable shredded paper produced at these events. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the shredder program, municipalities must submit a request to host a shredder event and the event schedule is prepared at the beginning of the year. For more information on

the county’s documents shredding program and the schedule of upcoming shredder events please visit https://environment.westchestergov.com/residents/recycling-guidelines/mobile-shredder or contact the county’s Recycling HelpLine at 813-5425. “DEF is excited to resume offering document shredding services to our residents,” said Louis Vetrone, DEF deputy commissioner. “Fortunately, throughout the COVID crisis we’ve been able to offer shredding services to municipal government agencies, and we’ve kept the Household-Material Recovery Facility (H-MRF) open, which offers document shredding services for residents plus a whole lot more.” The H-MRF, located at 15 Woods Road on the Valhalla Campus is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. If residents are unable to bring their documents to one of the upcoming shredder events they can have them destroyed at the H-MRF. The H-MRF also provides a dropoff location for other hard-to-dispose-of items such as fertilizers, pesticides, household cleaning chemicals, electronic waste, Fre-

on-containing appliances, textiles and more. For more information on the H-MRF or to make an appointment, please visit https://environment.westchestergov.com/ facilities/h-mrf or call the Recycling HelpLine at 813-5425. During the past few months with residents spending all or most of the time at home, DEF has tracked a marked increase in recycling. For the year, curbside recycling is up more than 8% across the county’s Refuse District, which includes 90% of county residents. Much of the increased recycling can be attributed to cardboard boxes containing home deliveries, as well as plastic and metal food and beverage containers due to increased eating at home. It’s interesting to note that there was not a corresponding increase in trash over the same period. For the year, disposed garbage increased only 1.65% across the district. It may be that the additional time at home has allowed residents to be more diligent about recycling. Re-launching the shredder program should add an additional boost to the county’s already robust recycling program. (Submitted)

The Sharing announces ‘Backpacks to School’ initiative Each summer, The Sharing Shelf organizes its “Backpacks to School” initiative to buy new backpacks and fill them with grade appropriate school supplies for low-income children in Westchester County. The program works with individuals and businesses countywide to raise the funds needed to purchase everything needed for this initiative, from new backpacks to binders, notebooks, folders, crayons, pencils, pens and paper. At this moment, the last days of being in a school are a distant blur and back to school is filled with uncertainty, whether our children will return to school as we know it, shift into a hybrid system or continue with home-based schooling. The Sharing Shelf, in consultation with educators, has decided to proceed with its annual program. These educators have told us that regardless of what form school will be, children still need to learn. They will not only need the usual supplies but also resources to keep them mentally engaged and enriched. It is The Sharing Shelf’s plan to provide not just the basics, but enhanced materials such as age-appropriate educational magazines, puzzles, activity sets and books. Even before the pandemic and economic downturn, Westchester was a community with a mix of great wealth yet home to nearly 60,000 low-income children. In some of our communities, 8 in 10 public school students qualify for free or reduced lunch. We believe that number, given the current environment, is probably much higher. In April 2020, unemployment in the county skyrocketed to more than 14% from 4% in January 2020. Meanwhile, the average family spends $122 on school supplies, a sum out of reach for families struggling financially. The Sharing Shelf plans to fill at least 1,500 backpacks and seeks to raise $45,000 for this project. Volunteers will help assemble the backpacks, using soCLAIMS from page 1

cial distancing in a special area at The Sharing Shelf’s Port Chester warehouse during the month of August. The backpacks and supplies are critical to the academic success of low-income children and will allow them to return to school prepared, confident and ready to learn.

The clothing is distributed to local, low-income children through area social service agencies, schools, hospitals and other non-profits at no cost.

provide testimony. For accusers like Fox, 66, any attempt on the Archdiocese’s part to mitigate potential financial losses goes hand-in-hand with the institutional failings that they feel enabled Gaynor’s alleged abuse to continue for decades.

“I don’t forgive Gaynor, but I’m compassionate enough to not want to see an 85-year-old man die in jail,” Fox said. “But I want to see the church pay, I want them to admit what they did.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

By Andy Landorf & John Colquhoun

The New 60 is a weekly look about what it’s like to be in your 60’s in today’s world: adult children living at home, downsizing (jobs and houses), finding old friends on Facebook and deciphering text-speak. It’s a Brave New World of second homes, second careers and second marriages…and finding out after a lifetime of milkshakes and ice cream that you’re suddenly lactose-intolerant. The New 60 is created by two local 60-plus Westchester residents, John Colquhoun of Bronxville and Andy Landorf, who hails from Tarrytown. The duo are long-time advertising creatives and this, as the saying goes, is their Act II. Even though it features folks in their 60’s, if you know someone who is 60, have a parent who’s 60 or just generally enjoy watching funny things happen to other people, you’ll find something to relate to here—you may even find yourself saying, “Hey, that happened to me!” To read more of the New 60, visit their website at thenew60comic.com.

Wegmans works to build community relations

Opinion-Editorial

One man’s opinion By MATTHEW WESTERMANN

Wegmans in Harrison is preparing for its grand opening, scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 5, but the company’s work within the Westchester community has already started.

Since 1916, Wegmans has believed in being a great neighbor. From food donations to local event sponsorships, each store seeks out ways to enrich their community every day. In preparation for the opening of the first Wegmans in Westchester County on Wednesday, Aug. 5, the Harrison leadership team has been actively working with local organizations to make a difference in their neighborhood. “We care about the well-being of our community and the success of local organizations,” said Matthew Dailor, the Harrison store manager. “For over a year, we’ve been immersing ourselves in nearby neighborhoods and working to give back, following Wegmans five key giving priorities.” • Feeding the Hungry One of Wegmans highest giving priorities is providing food for people at risk of hunger. In September 2019, Wegmans Harrison was a sponsor for Feeding Westchester’s annual Miles for Meals 5K. In February 2020, a group of department managers visited the Feeding Westchester facilities for a day of volunteering. Additionally, at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March, Wegmans donated $30,000 to Feeding Westchester in order to provide food directly to people in need. The store will continue to partner with local organizations to fight hunger through daily donations to local food banks and annual special events. • Helping Young People Succeed From employee scholarships to youth sports sponsorships, Wegmans supports young people in a multitude of ways. In

June 2019, five graduating seniors from the Westchester area received $500 scholarship grants from the Harrison store in a symbolic nod to the company’s Employee Scholarship Program, which helps employees along the path to higher education. They repeated the gesture this year by awarding 10 scholarships total to graduating seniors at White Plains High School and Harrison High School. The store also sponsored and participated in the Business Council of Westchester’s Annual Youth Summit, and White Plains High School’s Midnight Run. In June, when the coronavirus pandemic caused many schools to cancel their traditional graduation ceremonies, the Harrison store hosted “drivein” graduations in the store’s parking lot. • Encouraging Healthy Eating & Activity Wegmans believes in helping our customers, and our own employees, live healthier, better lives. Part of that commitment includes supporting local races and walks through donations or sponsorships. In 2019, the Harrison team sponsored and participated in Westchester Park Foundation’s Bicycle Sundays, Winter Wonderland, and Bike HSS. As many races have been moved online in 2020 due to the pandemic, the store has contributed to the annual St. Vincent’s Hospital’s Virtual 5K and Walks Your Way Westchester for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. • Enriching Store Neighborhoods Supporting a variety of local fundraisers and events is how Wegmans builds community relationships every day. From an-

nual events by the Arc of Westchester and the Westchester Children’s Museum, to summer festivals, family firework nights and parades, the Harrison store has donated their time, resources and funds to events throughout the region. Wegmans’ employees not only work in these neighborhoods, but live there too, and are passionate about the projects, events and fundraisers that will better the community for all. • Supporting United Way Initiatives Wegmans commitment to the United Way is embedded in the culture of the company. For decades Wegmans and its employees have been contributing to local United Way agencies in all their market areas because it remains the most efficient way to get needed funds to agencies that get measurable results. In September 2019, the Harrison team installed a Born to Learn Trail on the campus of the Carl L. Dixson Primary School as part of the United Way’s annual Day of Caring. The 10 learning stations promote learning and activity for young students. In November, the store’s bakery team visited the United Way facilities in Port Chester for a day of volunteering. “We’ve been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to welcome our Harrison neighbors into the store, and we are so excited to officially open our doors this August,” Dailor said. “The connections we’ve made with local organizations have helped us to feel like part of the neighborhood already, and we’ll continue to build on those relationships to improve the lives of our customers and employees in every way we can.” (Submitted)

I am just a regular guy. I work, stay close to my family and try to keep in touch with friends. Like my friends and family members, I try to lead a decent life. Having been born and raised in the Bronx, my character was shaped by those that guided me through school and kept me out of trouble. Well, I did get into trouble, but my dad quickly took matters into his hands (literally). The Bronx was a great place to grow up. The area, Throggs Neck, was a little oasis. Every family knew each other, and everybody just trusted each other. In fact, we did not even have a lock on our front door. It was always open. When you were a teen, you worked. It didn’t matter if you were a lifeguard, a cashier in Alexander’s or Macy’s or just cut a neighbor’s lawn. Work was what was expected. The rule simply

was obey your elders, the law and don’t embarrass the family. When I moved to Larchmont and then Mamaroneck, I tried to carry those invaluable Bronx traits here. As a father, I tried to live by example. I tried to instill ethics into my daughter. We got to know other parents who were like-minded and happen to also come from the Bronx. The Bronxites and others were and still are treasured friends. We all tried to show our children that you respect the law, listen to your teachers and don’t embarrass your family. All these children went through the Mamaroneck school system. They were taught by dedicated teachers, guided by terrific counselors and received a quality education. We were truly blessed to have a rich, diversified academic community that truly embraced all children. These children are all adults making their imprint on

the world. Some are even police officers, and teachers in this community. They want to give back because they received so much. Most of us may never be on TV or be the star of social media, we simply go to work and try to enjoy ourselves. We try to avoid trouble and if confronted by authority we respect them. We must remember that these people have families also. Police officers deserve our respect. It is that simple. If it wasn’t for them, chaos would be the norm. Maybe the next time you see a teacher or an officer, simply thank them. They represent the best that Larchmont and Mamaroneck have to offer. It has been a privilege to have been born in the Bronx and presently living in Mamaroneck. That is my true privilege. Matthew Westermann is a resident of Mamaroneck. The views expressed are his.

What to expect from a

telehealth visit

WIKIMEDIA

Virtual visits have become a more familiar part of American health care. While doctors and patients may miss the face-to-face interaction, telemedicine options allow people to confer with physicians and clinicians over the phone, tablet or computer. “Virtual visits are an efficient and convenient way for health care providers to see and treat people,” said Dr. Stephen Morgan, senior vice president and chief medical information officer at the Carilion Clinic and a faculty member at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. “Telehealth is a delivery model that connects the medical professional with a patient through a technolo-

gy platform,” said Darwin Fogt, a practicing physical therapist and founder of Phzio, a telerehab platform with more than 1,000 therapists in 40 states. “This allows the patient and provider to be located in different geographic places. The medical professional can communicate freely with the patient and conduct tests to determine diagnosis and establish a plan of care.” Virtual visits have existed for years, first adopted by rural communities that did not have access to medical services, Fogt said. They became more prevalent after the COVID-19 crisis made people hesitant to visit hospitals and clinics filled with sick people. They can be done live

by telephone or video or sician responds at another through an asynchronous time, Morgan said. The length of time spent visit, where the patient uses on a virtual visit is often the same as an in-person visit, but wait time for an appointment is often a little less, plus there’s the convenience of not having to get to the office and wait, Morgan said. In addition to improved access “They do not lend to care, other benefits of themselves to care telehealth include reduced where I need to see a costs and reduced risks of patient and do an exam, exposing oneself to other if I have to listen to the sick patients, Fogt said. vary by state, and heart or lungs or palpate a Laws face-to-face visit may or feel something.” be required before estabDr. Stephen Morgan lishing virtual care, Morgan said. Physicians can a secure HIPAA-secure plat- prescribe medications and form to share information, digitally send a prescription photos or video and a phy- to a local pharmacy.

While virtual visits are not for every condition, they work well for a variety of treatments including follow-up visits for people suffering from chronic illnesses such as diabetes; diagnosing fever, sore throat, cough or allergies; and physical therapy, Morgan said. Some specialties like dermatology and psychiatry can mirror in-person visits. “They do not lend themselves to care where I need to see a patient and do an exam, if I have to listen to the heart or lungs or palpate or feel something,” Morgan said. To make the most out of your virtual visit, prepare for it in the same way you would for an in-person visit, Morgan said. Be ready with

any issues and questions you would like the physician to address as well as a list of medications you’re currently taking. Ensure your technology works and you have an adequate network signal from Wi-Fi or cellular. “Oftentimes, this means turning off any other device in the home which may be using bandwidth or streaming other content,” Fogt said. Make sure the room is quiet without distracting ambient noise and that the lighting is good, Morgan said. Telehealth is a benefit for both patients and medical experts and well suited for the next generation of providers, Fogt said.

That gut feeling How bacteria in your gut interact with the mind and body By American Heart Association News Many people are familiar with the idea that gut bacteria are important for health. Given their location, you might assume that role is only about digestion. But evidence is mounting that the microbes in our intestines interact with our minds — and hearts — in significant ways. Gut bacteria have been linked to depression, anxiety and the regions of the brain that process emotions. These regions share brain circuitry that affects cardiovascular issues such as blood pressure. “People have co-evolved with environmental bacteria (that have) adapted over eons to being at home in human bodies. The present-day result is that our metabolism, our neurons and indeed our entire physiology is an interactive crosstalk with the bacteria in our bodies,” said Bruce R. Stevens, professor of physiology and functional genomics in the College of Medicine at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He perceives humans and gut bacteria as one interactive “meta-organism” — a single ecology of human cells plus bacterial cells. The idea that guts and minds are linked goes back centuries, and the influence of gut bacteria on our health has been discussed in the

press for years. But recently, after thousands of published articles, understanding of the links has grown immensely. For example, studies show transferring gut bacteria from depressed people into lab rats can cause the rats to exhibit depression-like behaviors. Similar mouse studies show gut bacteria affect anxiety. Dr. Kirsten Tillisch, professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, led a study in 2013 that was the first to show eating a bacteria-friendly, or probiotic, food — in this case, yogurt — affected regions in the brain associated with processing of emotion and sensation in healthy women with no psychiatric symptoms. Four years later, her team linked specific gut bacterial profiles to brain differences in those regions. How might tiny microbes exert such great influence? Stevens explained some basics. First, the number of bacteria in your gut is vast — 50 trillion or so, which equals about one for every human cell in our bodies. The makeup of this bacterial collection, or microbiome, is affected by many things, including diet, exercise and cultural influences. Those bacteria interact

with the brain and other organs in three ways. First, the gut and brain communicate by molecules carried in the blood, and microbes influence those chemical messages. Microbes also interact with the gut’s special nervous system, called the enteric nervous system. It has a direct, two-way connection with the brain via the central nervous system. Finally, the immune system of the gut wall and the body’s other immune components respond to gut microbes, affecting the brain and organs. Here’s one example of how it all ties together.

You might have heard of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitter molecules that steer mood and behavior in brain circuits. These molecules also are found in the gut. In fact, Stevens said, most of the body’s serotonin comes from the gut wall. Gut bacteria also use them to signal the gut’s nervous system and its direct link to the brain. The bacterial messages also can prompt responses from the body’s immune system. Summed up: “Your gut, your brain and your immune system interact,” Stevens said. “The triangulation of those things controls much of your other physiology,

whether it’s blood pressure, metabolism or mood.” Plus, it’s two-way communication, he said. “We use their molecules; they use our molecules and physiology in a mutualistic way.” Our understanding of these interactions, he said, could someday open the door to better treatment, diagnosis and prevention for disorders of the heart and mind. To Tillisch, the bodybrain link to the gut biome is significant not just for what it might do in the future, but for what anyone can do with it now. “I really feel like all the research to date has pointed

us to really basic concepts” that add up to “what we eat and how we live our lives is going to affect our health, whether it’s our mental health, whether it’s our cardiovascular health, whether it’s our gut health, whether it’s our neurologic health.” She’s intrigued by the prospect that an understanding of gut bacteria might someday explain why some people can, say, eat a seemingly unhealthy food but stay thin. But for now, she said, we can use our knowledge to do what we already know is good for us – such as avoid processed foods and eat more fruits and vegetables.

New world, same old Mets LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

It wouldn’t be hyperbolic to say that, since the coronavirus first inserted itself into the American public consciousness in March, our everyday lives have changed immensely. From the strain on our medical facilities to the economic shutdown to school closings, there are few aspects of our lives that have been unaffected by the pandemic. Heck, for a short time, even the most mundane task—like going to the store to buy some toilet paper—often felt like a massive undertaking. But if there’s one bright spot to be found in the re-start of professional sports last month, it is that there is one American tradition that wasn’t compromised by Covid-19; namely that the New York Mets will continue to be the New York Mets. On Sunday afternoon, as the Metropolitans were doing battle

with the division-rival Braves, an alarming—but ultimately predictable—story was afoot. “Star” designated hitter, Yoenis Cespedes was apparently a no-show for the game and had left no reason for his absence with Mets’ officials. Given Cespedes’ “untraditional” injury history—he missed last season after breaking his ankle when he fell into a hole trying to avoid a wild boar attack—there was obviously concern for his well-being. The real reason for his absence however, was much more mundane; he simply decided to pack up his gear and leave the team. Officially, Cespedes had enacted the opt-out clause which gives Major Leaguers a pass to sit out the shortened 2020 season if they are concerned about contracting coronavirus. As a fan who cares greatly about player safety, it’s hard to fault any player for choosing his health—and the health of his family—over baseball. But Cespedes’ track record— and the fact that he was hitting

.162 and unhappy with his playing time—would indicate that the opt-out wasn’t 100% Covid related, but simply the actions of a disgruntled prima donna who was destined to lose even more playing time to Dom Smith. In short, it was about as Mets-y as the Mets can get. In addition to the Cespedes saga, the Mets—who I thought had a real chance to compete for a playoff spot this year—have been absolutely dreadful to this point. At 3-7, they’ve got the worst winning percentage in the National League East, a division in which two teams, the Phillies and Marlins, have essentially had their seasons paused by positive tests. They can’t hit, they can’t field and, surprise-surprise, the bullpen is a flaming dumpster fire once again. And while true Mets fanatics, including my dad, have been dismayed at the club’s dysfunction, I prefer to look at it another way. Sure, the world around us may be coming apart at the seams, but as long as the Mets continue to be an

embarrassment, we can pretend, at least for a while, that things are the same as they’ve always been.

It may be a small victory in the end, but for Mets fans, at least it’s a win.
