Potential COVID-19 exposure in Pleasantville The Westchester County Department of Health has been notified that two priests and a staff member at Holy Innocents Catholic Church, located at 431 Bedford Road in Pleasantville, have tested positive for COVID-19. The two individuals have potentially exposed many people over four days of services. Anyone who attended the following services must quarantine, as required by the New York State Department of Health, for 14 days (regardless of a negative COVID-19 test) from that last visit to the church during these days:
• Aug. 24 – Morning mass • Aug. 25 – Morning mass • Aug. 29 – First Communion ceremonies and all masses • Aug. 30 – All masses Testing is being conducted at Phelps Hospital, located at 701 N. Broadway in Sleepy Hollow from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Patient are asked to drive towards the Emergency Department, locate the signs for the testing tent. Stay in your car and drive in that direction until you reach the site. Patients will identify themselves as part of the church cluster for testing. No appointment is necessary.
Contacts of contacts, meaning secondary exposed people, are currently not at risk and do not have to quarantine. The county is currently working closely with the church, the Archdiocese of New York, the Pleasantville School District and the village and will continue to update the public as information becomes available.

State offers sports guidelines to restart By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor After months of discussions, the New York State Public High School Athletic Association officially announced its return to play guidelines on Sept. 4. On Friday afternoon, the NYSPHSAA released a 49-page document with instructions for member schools on how to take the field this fall while complying with state Department of Health guidelines and mitigating the risk of COVID-19 spread. The document reiterated that the final decision on athletic participation will rest with each individual school district. On Aug. 24, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, announced that low-to-medium risk high school fall sports could begin on Sept. 21, while sports designated as “highrisk”—including football and volleyball—could start practices on that date but would not be permitted to schedule games until further guidance from the state. Friday’s guideline maintained those same dates, although it should be noted that Section I officials voted to push back the start of the fall sports season until Sept. 29. The document also provided further instructions regarding other safety issues facing sports. According to the guidelines, athletes participating in sports where it is not possible to maintain six feet of social distance from teammates and opponents must wear face coverings at all times, although accommodations will be made when the player is “unable to tolerate a face covering for physical activity.” Coaches and trainers will also be required to wear face cover-
ings at all times, as will athletes on the sidelines. Coaches are also encouraged to limit a team’s gameday roster in order to abide by social distancing guidelines for the sidelines. The NYSPHSAA has also deemed that celebratory contact with one’s teammates and coaches—including fist bumps, handshakes and hugs—will not permitted. In addition to regulating onfield behavior, the document outlined protocol for attendees. According to the NYSPHSAA, each athlete is allowed no more than two spectators at each contest, and fans will be compelled to wear masks in all public spaces. Members of the media will be permitted to attend games but must comply with the rules set forth by each school district in order to do so. With the state guidelines in place, it is now up to each of New York state’s 11 sections to decide how to move forward. Section IX, which oversees public schools in Orange, Sullivan and Ulster counties, announced last week that they plan to vote on a fall sports return date at a meeting on Sept. 10, with some believing that section officials will push back the start to Nov. 1. Section I officials promised to revisit their re-start options after these guidelines were handed down by the state. In a Sept. 3 memo, the Executive Committee of Section I said it would “Reconvene before Sept. 29, and in conjunction with the Athletic Council and Section I COVID Task Force, will continue to examine the data and guidance available while planning the best path forward for Section One student-athletes.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

s parents and guardians all across Westchester County learn to adapt to these challenging times and make decisions on sending their children back to school, County Executive George Latimer sat down with White Plains School District Superintendent Dr. Joe Ricca, Department of Community Mental Health, DCMH, Deputy Commissioner Joe Glazer and DCMH Children’s Mental Health
Services Program Coordinator Tori Shaw to discuss the mental health challenges facing our children during these tumultuous times. Ricca and Glazer also serve as co-chairs of Latimer’s newly formed School Reopening Working Group.

wanted to make sure the county’s youngest residents were not forgotten. That is why he teamed up with “Coaster,” Playland’s mascot, and the Bee-Line Bus System’s “The Bee” on a fun set of short videos to help them adjust to “The New School Rules”—be sure to share these videos with your little ones as we all learn to adjust to the new normal.

Healthy Yards announce ‘Pollinator Garden Tour’ On Sunday, Sept. 13 dozens of Westchester gardens will be open to the public to demonstrate how homeowners and land managers can support pollinators and encourage biodiversity in our own backyards. Organized by the sustainable gardening non-profit Healthy Yards and Bedford 2030, the Westchester Pollinator Garden Tour is designed to encourage residents to join in Climate Action Now by implementing healthy yard practices that will drive positive environmental change in our community. Landscaping practices that improve the health of land and soil can draw carbon out of the atmosphere and store it in the ground. Healthy land practices also include using less fossil fuels by mowing less and using electric equipment. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from experts about maintaining landscapes without the use of toxins, without gas burning equipment, and with the use of native plants. At each of the public properties and some of the private ones, experienced gardeners will be available to answer questions. “The point of this tour is not to showcase immaculately manicured gardens,” Healthy Yards co-founder Filippine Hoogland said. “Rather, it is to showcase gardens and meadows that support pollinators and biodiversity, have a small carbon footprint, and generally utilize earth-friendly landscaping techniques.” The Garden Tour will feature public gardens and preserves, and some may not look aesthetically pleasing in the conventional sense, according to Hoogland. But, they may offer another type of beauty, in the form of visitors like birds and butterflies. Additionally, some of the gardens will show what is possible in areas with serious deer impact. The tour will include very small gardens, which, in spite of their size, can offer a valuable food source for pollinators and other beneficial insects The tour will also feature the renowned Pound Ridge native plant garden created by naturalist Sara Stein and lovingly preserved by owners Ellen and James Best. Another residential

sight is Farmer’s Garden, also in Pound Ridge, a natural land made mostly of herbs and perennials, that acts as a bee apiary. “By showcasing a range of gardens,” Hoogland said, “we hope visitors will understand how the conventional lawn-centric backyards can switch to more sustainable landscaping practices, without a huge investment, and be developed into areas that support pollinators and birds.” More than 50 properties from tiny postage stamp parcels, storefronts or window boxes, to land trust properties, municipal gardens and large estates will be open that day. Westchester Land Trust’s pop up pollinator display will be at the Pine Croft Meadow and Karalyn Lamb of the Native Plant Center will be there to provide information. Bedford 2020 is promoting the event as a lead up to its Climate Week activities as the organization relaunches with new goals, a new plan, and new energy as Bedford 2030. “Cleaner, healthier landscaping is a critical aspect of the community’s environmental impact,” said Ellen Calves of Bedford 2030. “Our yards are a great place to reduce our carbon footprint, and (like many of the carbon reducing measures we
recommend), healthy yard practices also bring savings, health benefits, and joy from the increase in pollinators, butterflies and birds.” The full list of gardens can be accessed at https://www.healthyyards.org/tour/. The gardens will be open either in the morning (10 a.m.1p.m.) or the afternoon (1 p.m.-4 p.m.) and attendees must follow COVID-19 restrictions by wearing a mask and social distancing. Some private residents do not have a lot of parking spaces, so visitors are asked to please be patient and wait for a spot, or if no parking, go to another garden. Visitors will be reminded that they are attending at their own risk and during the tour, owners may close their yard whenever they feel that safety can not be maintained. Closings will be listed on the tour map on the website. Healthy Yards is an initiative run by volunteers to increase awareness and provide support for healthy landscaping practices. The organization collaborates with partners throughout our region, coordinates Westchester Pollinators and has a national social media following. For more information visit www.healthyyards.org.

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.

Since the beginning of motion pictures, making audiences laugh has been one of the film industry’s chief box office attractions. Skilled acrobatic comedians like Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and Charlie Chaplin were enormously popular in the silent era, as were their more verbally dexterous talking picture successors the Marx Brothers and W.C. Fields. Comedy exploded once movies could talk, from screwball to romance to social satire to musicals, and in recent decades dozens of new variations have appeared from over-the-top dark comedy to gross-out teen comedy. This survey will look at the major highlights of screen comedy over the last 125 years, illustrated with more than 40 examples from Hollywood’s funniest films.

(Dominique Padurano, M.S., Ed., Ph.D.) teaches students how to make a daily schedule, bolster motivation and use technology to help rather than hinder their academic growth during the age of distance learning. This Zoom webinar is geared for students grades 6-12, though college students may also find it useful. Parents are encouraged to attend alongside their children so that they can reinforce the concepts and strategies Dr. P. shares. Contact Sarah Prosser at sprosser@ ryelibrary.org. [Teens] Zoom

Monday, Sept. 21 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. Virtual Artist Talk: Kyle & Kelly Phelps: Race, Class & the Blue Collar Zoom webinar. Kyle and Kelly Phelps will take us on a journey that started for them in the industrial backdrop of Indiana. The twin brothers use their exposure to the blue collar working class that surrounded them growing up as inspiration for their joint sculptural work. Detailed research informs their creative decisions and direction of the work. The sculptures they make are evocative of the people, trades and industries that are part of the story of the Rust Belt, and of the daily struggles of the communities within. Clay and found objects find their home together in the Phelps brothers work, creating expressive narratives that are once compelling and heroic in their elevation of the lives of everyday people. The relationships between the workers and the jobs they do tell stories that cover the struggles of race, class and identity in the American Midwest.

THE REVIEW • September 11, 2020 • 11
An ounce of prevention, 2 ounces of caution By ABBE UDOCHI Too many Americans have experienced less than ideal healthcare in recent months as they work through an overwhelmed system. The elderly need to be especially vigilant and prepared as states reopen and seniors begin seeing their doctors again. The system’s deficits have proven particularly dangerous for elderly persons of color. The COVID-19 pandemic has both magnified and amplified the impact of racial health disparities on its victims in the U.S. There is less access to quality healthcare in many predominantly Black communities—including, perhaps surprising to some, in more affluent districts. Compounding this, Black people are more likely to suffer from diabetes, hypertension and other underlying conditions that make COVID-19 particularly fatal. The guidelines outlined here will apply to any senior, whether going to a supposedly ‘routine’ appointment with a doctor or nurse practitioner, or having a procedure done at a doctor’s office or a hospital. Seeking the help of a good care manager can support each of the guidelines below: • Call a week ahead to find out about the office’s COVID-19 protection protocols. Ask: Will your temperature be taken and how many people will be allowed in the waiting room? Can a family member, friend or aid accompany you when you see the doctor? Do they have hand sanitizer? Do they enable social distancing? If you are not comfortable with their protocols, can the appointment be converted to a telehealth visit? • Be sure to wear a surgical mask and take hand sanitizer when you go. Don’t go solo. If at all possible, have a family member, friend, aide or geriatric care manager accompany you. Inform them beforehand about the topics you want to cover with your doctor. Ask them to make sure your questions are answered. • Take a ‘self inventory’ prior to your appointment. Understand how are you feeling emotionally and physically—and don’t neglect emotionally. Recall if there have been changes to your appetite/eating, thirst, weight, sleep, memory/ cognition? • Prepare a checklist of items

to discuss—then bring it with you and check off each item. Keep a diary of all related medical tests, procedures or specialty visits since last appointment. Your main doctor should have the list, but it helps to have your own especially if you saw a doctor who is not in the same system. If you have been to an emergency room since your last visit and/or seen any specialists, make sure to discuss all. If you’ve had x-rays or other tests taken in the interim, make sure your doctor has the results. • Be on time or early. There will be forms to complete or vital signs to measure. Bring your insurance card, Medicare card and identification. • Confirm your ride. If you’re not driving yourself make sure you have reliable transportation, at least a week before your appointment. This way, if anything changes, you will have time to make alternate arrangements. If you are booking a community or locally provided transportation, follow their reservation rules. Ask about their COVID-19 safety measures. • Bring a list of medications. Review the list with your doctor and explain how you are responding to each. The dosage may need to be adjusted or a different medication may be in order. If the doctor recommends a new medication, ask about possible side effects and symptoms. • Be specific and discuss options. Ask if there are other courses of treatment. Depending on your condition, ask if changes to diet, additional exercise or holistic options will help. • Ask about the next steps in treatment at the conclusion of the appointment. Insist on a timeline, even if somewhat approximate. Schedule
as many appointments as possible before leaving. Always remember to: Be an Informed Patient Research your health condition and find out about treatments that are considered best practices. If you cannot do this, ask someone to help you. Advocate for Yourself or Take an Advocate with You Do not be afraid to speak up, question and challenge. Share your research and ask you provider to respond. Take someone with you (or dial them in by phone) who can help you advocate for yourself. Speak freely. Don’t worry about taking too much time and don’t hesitate to broach any topics of concern. Take Notes Document the advice or direction that your physician gives you in case you want to seek a second opinion. This is also something that a family member, friend or care manager can do for you. Seek a Second Opinion If you are unsure about the medical advice you receive, seek a second opinion from another physician. Do not be afraid to seek out a physician with a higher level of cultural competency. Care managers can be especially helpful with this research. There are also community resources that can provide support. For more information, these resources can help: The National Institutes of Health publishes a worksheet that can help organize conversations with your doctors: https:// www.nia.nih.gov/health/discussing-your-concerns-doctorworksheet Abbe Udochi is the founder and CEO of Concierge Healthcare Consulting, a New Rochelle-based geriatric care management practice.

Remembering the streak LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Memory can be a funny thing, especially when it comes to sports. Any sports fan most likely remembers the big moments from their childhood; the championships and what not, but it’s also funny what other events somehow find a foothold in the recesses of one’s mind. I was reminded of that this week, as Major League Baseball celebrated the 25th anniversary of Cal Ripken Jr.’s breaking of Lou Gehrig’s consecutive games streak. It was 1995 and I was in my first week of middle school life, ignoring my sixth-grade social studies assignment about the ancient Babylonians to watch Ripken pass the Iron Horse by playing in his 2,131st consecutive game. For a kid that grew up devouring books of baseball history, this
was a momentous occasion; seeing a star in my own era write his name in the history books was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and watching Ripken trot around that field for nearly 30 minutes, bathing in adoration from the Camden Yards faithful, seemed infinitely more pressing than filling out some stupid worksheet about Hammurabi’s Code. It should be noted, however, that my social studies teacher did not agree with my assessment of her assignment’s importance and the next day I would receive the first of many incompletes I would compile during my middle school career. But when it comes to Ripken, that’s not the only odd memory I have. The first one comes much earlier, in 1988, when I was just three years old. It may, in fact, be my first-ever memory from a professional baseball game. My parents took me to Baltimore during what I assume was their spring break. One of our daily excursions was a trip to Memorial Stadium to see the Orioles
take on the Royals. I recall being excited for the game, mostly because Cal—and his brother Billy—were being managed by Cal Sr. As a child whose dad coached his tee-ball team, this represented my life’s dream; to play major league baseball with my father calling the shots from the dugout. Alas, when we got to the stadium, my father informed me that, due to the Orioles’ 0-6 start, the team had decided to fire Cal Sr. As a highly imaginative threeyear-old with a tenuous grasp of the English language, I quickly became inconsolable. I fell to the floor in the concourse weeping in the belief that, because Cal Sr. had not led the O’s to victory, the team had literally tossed him into a blazing inferno in the outfield. I was horrified to learn that the game I loved could be so cruel and wondered how Billy and Cal Jr., could possibly suit up that day knowing what the organization had done to their father. Needless to say, when my parents realized why I was so distraught, they explained to me

what “firing” actually was—after laughing for much longer than necessary—bought me some ice cream and took me to our seats. I don’t remember much of the game itself, but I’ll always remember how a simple misunderstanding helped to improve my vocabulary that day.
And that’s why sports are special. It’s not always about what happens on the field or if your team wins; sports can be a backdrop for life lessons, a yardstick to measure the passage of time or of one’s own personal growth. In remembering Ripken’s milestone, I don’t just think about his
accomplishments, I think of my own growth as well. Mostly, I think about the importance of having a dictionary on hand. You never know when it’s going to come in handy.
