Wrong way

Gaynor deposition delayed by accuser’s death

Westchester County is restarting a Traffic Safety Task Force to review all entrance and exit ramps on the Bronx River Parkway. This review is meant to take inventory of potential problem zones in light of “wrong-way driver” incidents, notably following an incident that took place in Harrison. For more, see page 3.

County Health Department offers back-to-school immunizations The summer has just begun, but it’s not too early to start thinking about back-to-school vaccinations for your kids. The Westchester County Health Department will be offering back-toschool immunizations to students who qualify at the county clinic in White Plains. Call the Health Department at 995-5800 to find out if you qualify for an appointment. “Getting our children vaccinated is one thing we all can do as parents to keep our kids safe

when they return to school in September,” County Executive George Latimer said. “It is our responsibility to make sure that our kids are up to date on their

vaccinations, and our Health Department is helping to create a safe and healthy future for Westchester County’s youth.” (Submitted)

The back-to-school vaccination clinics are as follows: Westchester County Health Department Clinic 134 Court St., White Plains Fridays, July 9 through Aug. 27, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Appointments are encouraged Measles Mumps Rubella, MMR, available to anyone age 12 months and older. Tetanus, Hepatitis, Varicella and all required vaccines available to eligible students. The facility is fully accessible with wheelchairs available onsite.

On June 30, Associate New York State Supreme Court Justice Steven M. Jaeger ruled that legal proceedings against alleged sexual abuser Edwin Gaynor would be halted temporarily following last month’s death of Kevin Swayne, one of the plaintiffs in the matter. The decision came after lawyers for the Archdiocese of New York—which is named as a co-defendant in the lawsuit— petitioned Jaeger on July 28 to delay the planned deposition of Gaynor that was to be scheduled for sometime later this month. In his decision, Jaeger ruled that all actions of discovery in a consolidated case against Gaynor and the Archdiocese filed under the Child Victims Act be suspended until such a time that Swayne’s family is able to join the lawsuit as a representative of his estate. Swayne, who died on May 18 at the age of 63, was among the first to come forward with allegations of sexual abuse against Gaynor, who served as a teacher and coach at various Catholic schools in Westchester over four decades. He filed a lawsuit against Gaynor, the Archdiocese and the Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Scarsdale on Dec. 26, 2019. In that suit, he alleged several accounts of sexual abuse by Gaynor—a physical education instructor at IHM—that took place between 1964 and 1965. Swayne also noted in his suit that he believed that his older brother William, who died in 2008, was also molested by the former educator. Another brother, Stephen, declined to speak with the Review regarding the Swayne family’s plans to continue with legal action, but Barbara Hart—who represents several plaintiffs in the case on behalf of Grant & Eisenhofer, P.A.—informed the court that the family was planning to

move ahead as part of the consolidated suit. “Mr. Swayne’s family is in the processes of establishing his estate, which the family intends to substitute for Plaintiff the Swayne Action as soon as feasible,” wrote Hart in a June 22 letter to Jaeger. As the Swayne case has been consolidated with several similar lawsuits filed against Gaynor and the Archdiocese—35 individuals have now come forward with accusations—the ruling will have a significant impact on other plaintiffs seeking the deposition of Gaynor. Multiple motions have been filed in an attempt to compel Gaynor’s testimony since 2019, only to have those requests foiled by coronavirus-related court closures, multiple appeals by archdiocesan lawyers and Gaynor’s steadfast refusal to comply with court orders. In November 2020, Jaeger held Gaynor in contempt of court and levied a $250 per day fine against the 86-year-old Ossining resident, although one lawyer working on the case at the time told the Review that, due to Gaynor’s advanced age, the fines were unenforceable and “basically theoretical.” Prior to the June 30 ruling, Hart had been working with the courts to set a date for a deposition, and sent a June 28 letter to Jaeger in order to stress the need for swift resolution given the advanced ages of some of the accusers. “Plaintiffs in other actions . . . are also elderly and/or have distressing diagnoses or serious medical conditions,” she wrote. “If the [court] will act to stay proceedings each time a plaintiff passes in one of the consolidated actions, there will be significant delay and prejudice to all of the other consolidated plaintiffs in pursuing their independent actions.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

Latimer resumes ‘Wrong Way Task Force’

After a pause due to COVID-19, the county Traffic Safety Task Force will again begin reviewing all entrance and exit ramps on the Bronx River Parkway.

After a pause due to COVID-19, Westchester County Executive George Latimer is restarting a Traffic Safety Task Force, made up of citizens and elected officials, to review all entrance and exit ramps on the Bronx River Parkway. This review is meant to take inventory of potential problem zones in light of “wrong-way driver” incidents, notably following a ‘wrong-way driver’ incident that took place in Harrison among numerous other instances. As first proposed, this pilot task force will consist of members of the Board of Legislators, New York State elected officials, members of the Latimer admin-

istration and citizen-commuters. Latimer has charged Department of Environmental Facilities Deputy Commissioner Erin O’Shea to chair the task force. The purpose of this task force is to identify potential immediate common sense remedies, like new signage, and act quickly on the recommendations. In a letter to the committee, Latimer said, “In early 2020, our County Administration created a Task Force to assess the conditions on the Bronx River Parkway (owned and maintained by Westchester County) and to recommend improvements that would reduce the potential incidents of Wrong Way Driving.

Elements such as entrances and exits, signage, traffic lights, and other items that direct drivers should be reviewed by your task force, and a final report of recommendations for improvements submitted for our review.” At the time of its creation, DPW/T Commissioner Hugh J. Greechan said, “The Latimer Administration is committed to working with all stakeholders to find solutions. Our Department took immediate action to review the particular intersection in Harrison in the short term and we look forward to working with this citizen task force in the long term.” (Submitted)

Cuomo signs bill to protect public employees Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation on July 1 prohibiting public employers from penalizing employees who use sick leave or compensatory time to quarantine, seek medical treatment or for other absences related to a COVID-19 diagnosis or contact. “From the beginning of this national public health crisis, we have done everything possible to protect those New Yorkers who needed to make sacrifices in order to cope with the hardships of COVID,” Cuomo said. “No one should have to suffer a penalty for missing work because of COVID, and under this new law, every public employee in our state will get the protection they deserve—so they don’t have to face unfair consequences for

doing what was necessary to protect themselves and their loved ones.” This new measure builds on COVID-related employee protections signed into law by Cuomo, including guaranteed paid leave for New Yorkers under mandatory or precautionary quarantine due to COVID, and guaranteed time off from work to receive the vaccine. “For some workers, the idea of remote work is impossible, even during the COVID-19 Pandemic, said state Sen. Diane Savino. “Our essential workforce, our first responders— police, fire, healthcare and corrections—just cannot do it by broadband. That is why it was shocking to find out that the New York City Department of Corrections was actually

punishing their own employees for following the rules that we adopted right here in the State of New York. Eight hundred ninety-three correction officers who tested positive and were forced to utilize their sick time to comply with the requirements that were set out by the Department of Health were declared chronically absent.” State Assemblyman Peter Abbate said, “Happy to hear the Governor is signing my bill which will protect public employees who became ill during the coronavirus pandemic or came in contact with someone with the COVID-19. These employees can now feel safe while they protect their health, the health of their family and the health of their coworkers without fear of retaliation.” (Submitted)

There’s much more to adoption than just getting a cat out of a shelter and into a home. The mission of Rock N’ Rescue is to go that extra mile to ensure that the cat truly finds a forever home with people who love and appreciate her and can benefit from this therapeutic rescue partnership, too.

therapy coordinator of Rock N’ Rescue, had also spent a lifetime rescuing and fostering small animals, and her career experience in the field of social welfare underscored her belief in the incredible therapeutic value of pets in clinical settings as well as in the home and workplace. In 2017, Juli moved back to her childhood home in South Salem, New York, and Rock N’ Rescue acquired 501(c)3 welfare status. She and Marla began to expand their pet therapy and wellness mission, establishing a variety of programs run by their organization. “Our rescue has placed pets into homes of psychologists and social workers who have individual and group counseling practices,” Marla explains. “These special animals are temperamenttested based on the specifications required by the professional and their wellness practice. Some of these adopters have shared with us that they bring their cat to work with them to be a support animal for clients during treatment,” she adds.

Mission possible

in their community. As a professional photographer, she worked with many musicians and concert venues. She’d take her sons along to her gigs and have music artists sign a collar and donate those collars to the rescue. Ultimately the rescue would rename the pets up for adoption after those artists. Imagine Dragons, for example, signed two cat collars for cats ultimately named Imagine and Draghi. Juli quickly discovered that many musicians were happy to help and it was a great way to get publicity and get pets that were for some reason ignored to get noticed — and adopted.

Cats, therapy and wellness Juli’s mission to bring animal-assisted therapy to the forefront of animal rescue and adoption was complete when she met Marla Valentine, a New York state-licensed master social worker with more than 20 years’ experience in the field of counseling, long-term care and case management. Marla, now co-director and

Juli sums it up, “We work with people who are looking for more than just a feline buddy. Our rescue helps families choose the right therapy animal for lifelong comfort and support. We consider these therapeutic adoptions. This is what makes us different from standard rescue groups, as the well-being of the humans in the family are of prime importance, too. Consequently, during the adoption process, we work with licensed social workers, psychologists and psychotherapists to ensure that the cat being adopted can offer love and affection that meets some of the needs of the humans in the home. Once in the home, the connection continues, with volunteers checking up on the family and making themselves available 24/7 by phone or via Zoom. One positive spin-off of the pandemic has been the increase in therapeutic adoptions, with application numbers skyrocketing from families with children as well as young adults. “Kids and young adults have felt particularly isolated since COVID since they have not been in school and allowed to participate in the usual social activities,”

Marla says. “Many are suffering with anxiety and even have had suicidal thoughts. We have so many wonderful stories about how having adopted a cat or kitten has helped ease situations.” There has also been an increase in younger volunteers applying to help. “Working with cats as a volunteer is a kind of cuddle therapy,” Marla says. “Young volunteers bring a lot of skills with them, as they are great with technology and have helped us make TikTok videos, how-to videos, such as how to trim a cat’s nails, and they are very adept at helping us promote the cats on social media. Those teenagers and young adults working with us report that just working with the cats has helped them deal with their own personal issues over the past year, too.”

The organization has many wonderful ideas connecting cats with people (although COVID-19 has put some of them on hold for the moment): • Kitty yoga classes: Rock N’ Rescue brings cats along to join in a yoga class at a studio or specially arranged session in a private home or business where kitties can romp and snuggle with attendees. • Workplace kitty cuddle sessions: These events relieve office stress and fatigue while boosting productivity. • Speed-dating with felines • Art classes and open music jams — just add cats. • Community kitty cuddle sessions: “For example, pre-COVID we’d go to a car dealership and set up huge, enclosed playpens (like a tent), where individuals go inside and sit on comfy mats and literally cuddle kitties,” Juli says. “We had lines out the door!” Juli and Marla plan to put more events into effect post COVID, such as Corporate Kitty Wellness Centers. “This is a program we are modeling after ones that exist in Japan,” Juli says. “A room or area of a corporation would be a cat ‘destress’ zone. Think of a cat cafe room inside a large corporation where employees would be able to work and/or de-stress where cats are also roaming around. The cats would also be available for adoption. It’s a win-win for the cats and the people, and studies are showing these companies have lower suicide rates.”

He’s attacked by a cat … who needs to jump away from a dog… and on it goes, until not even a shark is free from getting a little fright! Building on repetition that’s fun to read and fun to listen to, “Jump!” is a rip-roaring, read-aloud with simple rhymes and lively illustrations that leap off the pages. [Children] Village Green

Worse, he’s remarried—to Drue’s eighth grade frenemy, Wendy, now his

office manager. And they’re offering her a job. Things really get complicated when a suspicious death at an exclusive beach resort exposes possible corruption at her father’s firm and a decades old missing persons case is re-opened. “Sunset Beach” is a compelling ride, full of Mary Kay Andrews’ signature wit, heart and charm.

WESTCHESTER COUNTY MOBILE SHREDDER

Saturday, July 10 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mobile Shredder is coming to Port Chester Out of an abundance of caution and in light of COVID-19 we have implemented new safety guidelines for our public shredder events in order to ensure the health and safety of residents and staff. Residents can bring up to 4 file-size (10”x12”x15”) boxes of confidential papers per household for shredding. Please remove all large binder clips and covers. Papers from businesses institutions or commercial enterprises are not acceptable and will be rejected as will any junk mail or newspapers. Service at the events works on a first-come, first-served basis as the Mobile Shredder unit can reach its maximum capacity before closing time. In extreme weather, events may be cancelled or terminated early. Important information: It is important to be aware of what you place to be shredded; no matches, lighters or anything combustible. Staff at the events will be checking the material prior to being shredded. Please call the county’s Recycling Helpline at 813-5425 to check on a cancellation or early closure. Remember it’s best to shred documents you’re no longer using that contain personal identifying information such as name, address, phone number, credit card number or social security number. Such documents should be shredded before they are thrown out for recycling. As this service is gaining in popularity residents should be prepared to wait as lines are sometimes long.. Hard covers cannot be shredded and will be turned away. Residents must rip pages out from hard cover books for shredding and throw the covers in their regular household trash. Up to four boxes of papers are allowed for

shredding. For more information about identity theft, call the Department of Consumer Protection 95-2155. For questions about recycling, call 813-5425 for the Recycling Helpline.

More than 60,000 participants each year bike, walk, and jog a 13.1-mile loop of the Bronx River Parkway from White Plains to Yonkers. For more than 40 years, since community leaders recognized the importance of environmental preservation and promotion of a healthy, fit lifestyle, people have gathered on Sundays to join the traffic-free route. WPF is excited to be part of an event that so many residents of Westchester, and beyond, look forward to each year. The program is presented by Westchester County Parks and sponsored by the Westchester Parks Foundation and its partners through generous donations from co-presenting sponsors Con Edison and NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital. Danny Cycles is the exclusive bicycle shop. Without WPF and our partners, the future of Bicycle Sundays is not guaranteed. Bicycle Sunday dates: July 11, 18 and 25 Aug. 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 Sept. 12, 19 and 26 Oct. 3, 17, 24 and 31 During Bicycle Sundays, the parkway is open exclusively for bicyclists, in-line skaters, scooters, walkers and joggers. The course will be slightly modified this year, beginning at Main Street in White Plains (instead of Westchester County Center) and continue south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers. The road is closed to automobiles in that stretch of parkway. Admission is free. There are numerous points of entry along the route. Although parking will be available in the Westchester County Center east parking lot, participants will follow signs and directions to enter the route at Main Street once they exit their cars.

When cold hands, feet are a medical issue “Cold hands, warm heart” is a proverb that rings true because when the body is cold, it restricts blood flow to the extremities to keep our core temperature warm.

TIPS • Carry hand and foot warmers like those found in sporting goods and ski shops. • Use insulated drinking glasses or mugs. Place a napkin or insulating material around them to protect your fingers from becoming cold. • Place hands under warm (not hot) water to warm them up quickly. • Don’t smoke, which narrows blood vessels and makes Raynaud’s symptoms worse. • Swing arms around in a windmill fashion to get the circulation going quickly. • While not clinically proven, self-relaxation techniques such as biofeedback and tai chi work for some people to minimize the severity of Raynaud’s attacks.

No matter the season, if the temperature around you is colder than your body temperature, your hands and feet may feel cold even indoors. Normal body temperature is around 98.6 degrees, but most buildings are kept around 68 to 70 degrees, said Dr. Steven Goldberg, chairman of the Public Education Committee, American Society for Surgery of the Hand, and orthopedic hand surgery specialist at Bellin Health Titletown Sports Medicine and Orthopedics, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Cold hands and feet can also be a sign of certain medical conditions such as the relatively common Raynaud’s syndrome or peripheral artery disease, which affects people over 50, especially those with a history of smoking or diabetes, said Dr. James T. Rogers, an internal medicine physician at Mercy Clinic Internal Medicine in Springfield, Missouri. If you suffer from cold hands and feet, speak to your doctor and avoid Dr.

Google, Rogers said: “You’ll always find reasons to support what you think it is.” Speak with your doctor if cold extremities are painful or if you have a family history, and be ready to talk about the medications you’re talking, Rogers said. Certain medications for blood pressure, cancer and heart health (beta-blockers) can limit blood flow, he said. Over-thecounter medications such as Sudafed and Actifed can also compress blood vessels and lead to cold hands and feet. Most commonly, cold hands and feet may be caused by Raynaud’s phenomenon, also known as Raynaud’s syndrome or disease. “Raynaud’s is not a rare disease. It’s estimated to affect 5% to 10% of the population and 20% of all women of childbearing age. Unfortunately, most go undiagnosed,” said Lynn Wunderman, founder and chairman of the Raynaud’s Association. Only about 10% of people are aware that their pain and discomfort have a medical explanation

and seek treatment, she said. Raynaud’s is a disorder in which the arteries get too small and tight, temporarily limiting blood flow to the fingers and/or toes, Goldberg said. “It is often in response to cold exposure and is reversible when the body warms up,” he said. “When the vessels are in spasm, the patient experiences pain, numbness, tingling and severe finger color changes.” Affected fingers can turn white to blue as blood vessels constrict and then red as the blood vessels become larger again and the blood flow is restored, Goldberg said. These episodes are not harmful if symptoms rapidly improve with re-warming and rarely require medical treatment, he said. “It may be appropriate to limit smoking and vaping as well as caffeine, as they can make blood vessels smaller,” Goldberg said. A more severe type of Raynaud’s may be caused by an underlying medical condition such as scleroderma or

another auto-immune problem, he said. “Patients are sometimes advised to ‘avoid the cold.’ However, even if we bundle up in chilly weather with heavy coats, hats and gloves, exposure to air conditioned and refrigerated spaces in warmer months can trigger attacks,” Wunderman said. “Avoiding stress is easier said than done, too. Raynaud’s is a year-round issue and it applies to all climates.” Take precautions to protect yourself from the cold as much as possible. “Keep your core warm by dressing in layers and be willing to unlayer,” Rogers said. Wool blends that wick moisture away from the body are better than cotton, which holds in moisture. Wear gloves when exposed to air conditioning or cold temperatures, such as in the refrigerated section of a supermarket or before touching a cold steering wheel or door handle. “Mittens are even better protection. Use these even when handling frozen or refrigerated foods,” said Wunderman.

Mind games Keeping your brain sharp isn’t about working more puzzles Mental decline is one of the most feared aspects of growing older. People will do just about anything to prevent it, from swallowing supplements touted as memory boosters to spending hours solving Sudoku and crossword puzzles. But do these things really keep the aging brain sharp? The short answer is, not really. “It can certainly help you concentrate if you spend an hour or two doing puzzles,” said Dr. Vladimir Hachinski, a Canadian neurologist and global expert in the field of brain health. “It’s good because you’re exercising your brain. But don’t expect too much from it.” One in 8 Americans age 60 or older report having at least some memory loss and roughly 35% of them report problems with brain function, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While this doesn’t always lead to full-blown dementia, the number of older people in the United States struggling with cognitive issues is growing: The CDC predicts the number of people in the U.S. with dementia – including its most common form, Alzheimer’s disease – will nearly triple to roughly 14 million people by 2060. Research suggests there are indeed ways to prevent or delay many types of cognitive loss, but they don’t involve fish oil supplements or brain teasers. Instead, Hachinski and others in the field agree, people who want to preserve good brain function should take the same steps they would to

protect their hearts. “If you have a good heart, you have a good brain,” said Dr. Rong Zhang, professor of neurology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. “Whatever risk factors that are bad for your heart, such as high blood pressure, smoking, obesity or a lack of physical activity, these things are also bad for your brain.” The link between heart health and brain health is well established. The American Heart Association and an expert-led Lancet Commission advise people to focus on their risk factors for heart disease and stroke. These include lowering blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels; getting enough sleep; not smoking; limiting alcohol intake; eating a healthy diet; exercising at least 150 minutes per week; maintaining a healthy weight; and staying socially active. The Lancet Commission recently expanded its list of dementia risk factors to also include head injuries in mid-life and exposure to air pollution. Researchers believe at least 40% of dementias can be prevented or delayed by modifying these risk factors. Hachinski said the percentage could well be higher if more strokes were prevented. He was the lead author of a 2019 paper published by the World Stroke Organization calling for the joint prevention of stroke and dementia. Stroke doubles the chance of developing dementia and high blood pressure is a powerful predictor of stroke, Hachinski

If you have a good heart, you have a good brain. Whatever risk factors that are bad for your heart, such as high blood pressure, smoking, obesity or a lack of physical activity, these things are also bad for your brain.

Dr. Rong Zhang, professor of neurology at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas

said, adding that an estimated 90% of strokes are preventable. “All major dementias have a vascular (blood vessel) component,” he said, because the brain needs good blood flow to provide it with sufficient nutrients and oxygen to work properly. “If you control the vascular component, you can diminish or prevent dementia.” While major strokes cause an obvious and sudden decline in cognitive function, it’s more common for people to have smaller, silent strokes they don’t even realize are happening, Hachinski said.

These “mini-strokes” have been shown to accelerate mental decline, as does uncontrolled blood pressure at any age. Type 2 diabetes, which often can be prevented or delayed by losing weight and increasing physical activity, also increases the risk of dementia by 60%. “By and large, the onset of dementia is gradual,” Hachinski said, likening the process to “descending into an abyss. It can happen in different ways, at different rates and to different depths.” The best way to slow that decline, he said, is to identify your

personal risk factors and then tackle the biggest ones. Do you need to lose weight? Exercise more? Eat a healthier diet? Lower your blood sugar? “Know your family history. Have some idea of what you’re facing,” he said. “Get your blood pressure taken. Risk factors love company.” Building good brain health habits should start long before cognition starts to decline, experts advise. “It’s never too late, but the earlier, the better,” Hachinski said. “I think the most important thing is to begin.”

Enjoying the fall LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

I don’t often consider myself to be a mean-spirited sports fan, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that the New York Yankees recent struggles haven’t filled me with at least some measure of glee. In fact, I’d say they’ve downright tickled me pink. Heading into next week’s MLB All-Star Game—just over halfway into the season—the Yanks are in a whale of a funk. At 42-41, the Bronx Bombers have lost seven of their last 10 games, find themselves 10.5 games behind the AL East leading Red Sox and could be on the precipice of putting together the organization’s worst season since a dreadful 1992 campaign. But beyond being able to gloat about the wins and losses—and what it means for my Red Sox—the reason I’m enjoying this slide so much, at least while I can, is because I get

the chance to watch Yankee fans deal with an emotion that’s become unfamiliar to them over the last 30 years. Despair. Listening to despondent Yankee fans call into sports talk radio shows over the past few weeks has been absolutely glorious for a Yanks hater such as myself. Of course these fans are going through all of the familiar stages of sports grief, calling for Yanks GM Brian Cashman to trade away the team’s best players—before being canned himself by Hal Steinbrenner—but it’s the “woe is me attitude” that really jumps out. Last Thursday or so, one longtime fan got through to Marc Malusis and Maggie Gray to vent about the Yanks’ failures and said something which stuck with me. That sentiment tells you just about all you need to know. Since 1996 the Yankees have undeniably been one of the most successful teams in any professional American sport. Sure they haven’t won a World Series since 2009, but they’re consistent win-

ners, playoff fixtures and have enjoyed a period of sustained relevance that just about any other fan base would die for. But Yanks fans, especially those who weren’t around to suffer through the lean years of the late 80’s and early 90’s have come to believe that World Series rings are inextricably tied to their fandom, a birth-right of sorts. Unfortunately for them, baseball doesn’t work that way—at least not any more. Advance scouting metrics and luxury tax considerations have changed the way that teams are run, meaning that the organizational savvy is just as—if not more—important than deep pockets. Do I expect the Yankees to figure this out eventually? Of course I do. Brian Cashman has proven himself to be a capable front office general over the years (even if Yankee fans don’t want to hear it right now), so I doubt we’re going to see the team fall into a seasons-long swoon in which they’re battling the Orioles to stay out of the cellar.

THE REVIEW • July 9, 2021 • 15

Over the last month, the New York Yankees have been struggling to put wins together. For fans of other AL East teams, Sports Editor Mike Smith says “enjoy it while it lasts.” Photo courtesy wikipedia.org

But with that in mind, I’d urge fans of the Red Sox, Blue Jays and Rays to enjoy this slump right now and get their kicks in

while the Yankees are down. Because it’s only a matter of time before the Evil Empire finds themselves back on top, making

life miserable for the rest of us.
