County honors 9/11 with virtual ceremony
On September 9, the NYSPHSAA announced that high-risk fall sports, including football volleyball and cheerleading, will be postponed until March. The decision followed months of uncertainty about a proposed fall start date. For story, see page 15.

Westchester expands domestic violence program Westchester County is creating an expanded crisis intervention team that will identify families at highest risk of deadly domestic violence and intervene to save lives by providing immediate support and services. The Westchester County Domestic Violence High Risk Team, which is already at work in several parts of the county, will expand its work countywide and continue to pioneer a multi-agency, collaborative approach to preventing lethal family violence. “I am proud to announce this
new initiative that will provide enhanced safety to victims of family violence,” County Executive George Latimer said. “The collaboration between community, County agencies, law enforcement and service providers makes Westchester stand out as a national model for coordinated community response that can improve outcomes for victims and increase offender accountability.”Partners in the high-risk team include the Westchester County Office for Women, Westchester County Department of Public
Safety, Westchester County Probation Department, Westchester County District Attorney’s Office, Westchester Medical Center, Hope’s Door, My Sister’s Place, Putnam/Northern Westchester Women’s Resource Center, Westchester Community Opportunity Program/Victims Assistance Services, Legal Services of Hudson Valley, and the Elizabeth S. Haub School of Law At Pace University/Women’s Justice Center. Other county agencies such as the departments of Social Services and Community Mental Health are
resources for the team. At the heart of the expanded effort is a Lethality Assessment Program, LAP, and 24-hour hotline. These tools will enable police departments, county agencies and service providers to immediately identify persons and families at high risk of being murdered or seriously harmed by an intimate partner or other family member. A safety plan and services will be provided promptly to these victims to reduce the VIOLENCE continued on page 3
In a solemn ceremony like never before at Kensico Dam Plaza in Valhalla, Westchester County paid tribute to those lost during tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001 and heroes who gave their life helping us all move forward in its aftermath. Standing before “The Rising,” the county’s beautiful 9/11 Memorial, County Executive George Latimer honored the Westchester residents who passed on that devastating day 19 years ago, as well as those who have died from 9/11-related illness since the attacks. “While we face societal challenges like never before in our current day, we must never forget the events that unfolded in front of the world’s eyes that morning nineteen years ago,” Latimer said. “That day changed all of us, and we will always continue to grieve. From the souls lost, to the heroes who selflessly rushed in that we are still losing to this day, we must—and we will—always honor them here in Westchester County.” Tony Aiello, CBS 2 New York reporter, emceed the event. “I moved to Westchester in 1999 and remember well the tragic impact the terror attack had on the County,” he said. “I was honored to emcee the County’s very first 9/11 commemoration in 2002.” Following pandemic protocols, Rev. Troy DeCohen, senior pastor at Mount Vernon Heights Congregational Church, led the ceremony with a pre-recorded prayer: “We as Americans and citizens of good conscience of this great land humble ourselves in prayer reflecting on the thousands of lives lost and the thousands of families that still grieve their loss.” The ceremony also included the presentation of colors, led by the Westchester County Police Department’s Ceremonial Unit Color Guard, followed by Pipes and Drums of the Po-
lice Emerald Society of Westchester County. U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey led the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a rendition of the “Star-Spangled Banner” by Lindsay Towers from Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, and Concordia College’s Brass Ensemble played—adding music to the solemn backdrop of the memorial. “Unfortunately, this year, we can’t physically provide a shoulder to lean on to the families and friends of those we lost 19 years ago, said Benjamin Boykin, chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators. “We can’t wrap our arms around the loved ones of the first responders or those who worked the pile in the days and months afterward. But we will never forget their sacrifice. Let’s honor them by committing ourselves anew to the spirit of unity and shared purpose their loss inspired in us all.” A commemorative wreath was laid on the “Beam of Remembrance” by Deputy County Executive Ken Jenkins, a steel beam that was pulled from the ashes of the World Trade Center, and dedicated to the county as a lasting reminder of our nation’s sacrifice and strength on that fateful day. Adding to the interfaith prayer at the ceremony, Imam Qari Amjad Karim of the Westchester Muslim Center said, “As our country remembers the heartbreaking events of September 11, 2001—we turn to prayer at a time when our nation is facing unprecedented challenges—now more than ever we need mercy and strength to guide us on the right path.” The names of those who were lost, as displayed on the “Circle of Remembrance,” were read allowed by District Attorney Anthony Scarpino, County Clerk Tim Idoni and members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators.

odds that such deadly violence might occur. “The implementation of a high-risk team in Westchester County is an integral step in reducing lethality and risk of serious harm to victims of family violence. To be harmed by someone that is supposed to love and protect you is unfathomable to most, but it is a reality throughout the world, regardless of race, ethnicity, income or gender. t is only by working together that we can change this reality,” said Robi Schlaff, director of the county’s Office for Women. Latimer said the high-risk team will be coordinated by the Office for Women, which will collect data and ensure compliance by all partners with their roles and responsibilities. Enhanced training in lethality assessment will be offered to all law enforcement agencies in Westchester at the county Police Academy. The training will be incorporated into the Police Academy curriculum for new recruits as well as in the in-service training program provided to veteran police officers. Public Safety Commission-
er Thomas A. Gleason said the LAP gives police officers in the field a practical tool they can use to assess the level of risk when they respond to any domestic incident. “There is nothing theoretical about the potential for deadly family violence,” Gleason said. “We have suffered these tragedies in Westchester. We know all too well that it can happen here, because it has happened here. No one wants it to happen again.” LAP begins with a simple but effective set of 11 questions. The answers to those questions guide an officer in assessing the level of immediate danger that a spouse or partner, even an entire family, may be in. “This objective assessment tool is also important as it shows victims and their children that they may be at greater risk than they realize,” Schlaff said. Under the expanded program, the Westchester Medical Center will staff an emergency hotline around-the-clock to be informed of high-risk cases. Advocates will provide immediate assistance to these victims, including crisis intervention, safety planning and referrals for emergency housing and other critical services.
The service providers on the high-risk team will train hotline staff and other advocates in highrisk response and protocols, follow up with high-risk victims within 24 hours and obtain victims’ consent to obtain critical services for them. The legal services providers will assist victims in a range of civil family law matters including child custody and support, immigration assistance and obtaining orders of protection. The Probation Department and District Attorney’s Office will work with victims to ensure offender accountability and assist in creating related training for the law enforcement community. The expanded high-risk team will incorporate the Northern Westchester Domestic Violence High Risk Team, which operates in a number of north county communities. Law enforcement in those towns, as well as in the city of White Plains, already utilizes the Lethality Assessment Program. Latimer said Westchester County has seen multiple tragedies in the last decade in which intimate partners killed their spouse, some of their children or the entire family. Identifying

families that are under stress and at high-risk for violence is a challenging task, Latimer said, but every effort must be made to curb domestic violence and save lives.
“The work we are doing through the high-risk team is in honor and memory of those we have lost in our County to this horrific family violence. All
of the partners in this effort are committed to doing everything possible to prevent these kinds of tragedies from taking place,” he said. (Submitted)

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.

Caramoor is delighted to announce a full range of virtual and live fall programming. Dashon Burton, Jeremy Denk, Amy Helm, Anthony McGill, the Aaron Diehl Trio, Callisto Quartet and TENET Vocal Artists will all perform without an audience in the Rosen House, continuing the series of livestreams from the Music Room that the New York Times calls “adventurous and excellent.” Also presented as a livestream, Broadway stars Laura Osnes and Tony Yazbeck give a special performance for this year’s Cabaret Benefit. In addition, in-person visitors to the 90-acre Westchester estate will be able to explore the site-specific sound art installations of Sonic Innovations and attend two Beginner’s Ear concerts, in a continuation of the series pairing guided meditations with live music that was introduced last month. With its idyllic woodlands, gardens and indoor and outdoor spaces, Caramoor is ideally placed to participate responsibly in New York’s re-opening process and inspire audiences safely this fall. Livestreams from the Music Room (Sept. 25–Dec.12) Known for its historic furnishings and superior acoustics, the “intimate, elegant Music Room” (New York Times) of the Rosen House makes an ideal setting for Caramoor’s livestream series. Amy Helm (Sept. 25) The series launches with a performance by American singer-songwriter Amy Helm, a founding member of the alt-country collective Ollabelle and former member of the Midnight Ramble Band, who “takes you to transcendent moments built from a lifetime of singing” (American Highways). Her performance is presented in collaboration with City Winery. Anthony McGill & Gloria Chien (Oct. 2) New York Philharmonic principal clarinetist Anthony McGill is known for his “trademark brilliance, penetrating sound and rich character” (New York Times). He and pianist Gloria Chien, director of Music@Menlo’s Chamber Music Institute, perform a program combining works by Brahms and Weber with Peace by Bernstein Award-winner Jessie Montgomery, whose music is “turbulent, wildly colorful and exploding with life” (Washington Post).
Aaron Diehl Trio (Oct. 16) Classically trained pianist Aaron Diehl is “a rising star of jazz piano [with] an individual talent so huge that one day he may extend the jazz tradition” (New York Daily News). Presented in collaboration with Jazz at Lincoln Center, he appears as part of the Aaron Diehl Trio, with Aaron Kimmel on drums and Paul Sikivie on bass. Callisto Quartet (Oct. 18) The Ernst Stiefel String Quar-
tet-in-Residence is one of three mentoring programs through which Caramoor supports emerging young artists. Newly appointed for the 2020-21 season, the Callisto Quartet already boasts a string of honors including grand prize at the Fischoff National Chamber Music Competition and top prizes at the Banff, Bordeaux, Melbourne and Wigmore Hall competitions. Jeremy Denk (Oct. 25) The recipient of a MacArthur
Fellowship and the Avery Fisher Prize, Jeremy Denk is “a pianist you want to hear no matter what he performs” (New York Times). For his Music Room livestream, Denk gives a recital of music by Thomas “Blind Tom” Wiggins, Scott Joplin, Tania León and Frederic Rzewski, bookended by Mozart’s Sonata in C minor and Beethoven’s final piano sonata, Op. 111. Dashon Burton & Lindsay Garritson (Nov. 8)
An original member of the innovative Grammy-winning vocal ensemble Roomful of Teeth, bass-baritone Dashon Burton is known for his “enormous, thrilling voice” (Wall Street Journal). Showcasing his versatility, Burton’s recital with pianist Lindsay Garritson combines Schumann’s complete Dichterliebe with works by John Dowland, Charles Brown, Florence Price, Margaret CONTIUED on next page
THE REVIEW • September 18, 2020 • 7 Bonds, Ernest Charles and William Bolcom, and a set of spirituals. TENET Vocal Artists (Dec. 12) Continuing Caramoor’s holiday concert tradition, TENET Vocal Artists, the early music ensemble that the New York Times calls “quite simply terrific,” sings “Love Enfolds Thee Round,” a seasonal program of traditional carols and music by English composers Peter Warlock, Herbert Howells, Hubert Parry and Ralph Vaughan Williams under the leadership of Artistic Director Jolle Greenleaf. Cabaret in the Music Room Benefit with Laura Osnes and Tony Yazbeck (Nov. 20) Caramoor presents a special livestream, when Tony-nominees Laura Osnes and Tony Yazbeck reunite for “An Evening of Gershwin Greats and Other Favorites” in this year’s Cabaret in the Music Room Benefit. Their program celebrates the music of George Gershwin, in whose “Crazy For You” the two recently wowed audiences together at Lincoln Center. In-person offerings outside at Caramoor: live music, sound art and more
Sonic Innovations and more (Sept. 4–Oct. 11) Also on offer to in-person visitors is the chance to discover the unique collection of sound art nestled in Caramoor’s landscaped Italianate and woodland gardens. Collectively titled Sonic Innovations, this rotating annual exhibition is curated by Chicago-based sound artist Stephan Moore. Four works, all representing artists working beyond the realm of concert music, are currently on display. A collaboration between sound sculptor Spencer Topel and Hana Kassem, Undercurrent creates a feedback loop between the environment and its visitors, whose movements activate small pods among the trees and grasses. Annea Lockwood and Bob Bielecki’s Wild Energy takes visitors on a fantastical tour of sounds occurring outside the range of human hearing, from sped-up solar oscillations to slowed-down ultrasound from within a Scots pine tree. In the drystone structure of Ranjit Bhatnagar’s Stone Song, strain gauges and sensors for humidity, temperature and barometric pressure are fed into a drone synthesizer whose fundamental tones shift slowly over the months, as the
weather changes and the stones settle. Finally, Taylor Deupree’s t(ch)ime turns a quiet, wooded passage into a shimmering sonic environment; familiar yet otherworldly, its sounds derive from a collection of bell chimes, manipulated to create a sense of time’s slowing down as visitors approach the middle of the path. (Previously announced as part of this year’s exhibition, Trimpin’s in“C” has yet to be completed because of the pandemic, and will debut at Caramoor next summer instead.) Caramoor’s grounds will be open from 12 p.m.-6 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 11. On Sundays, a sound art educator will be in attendance from 2 p.m.-4 p.m., and at 4:30 p.m. guests will be able to hear an archived Caramoor concert recording, amplified throughout the grounds. To explore Sonic Innovations or interact with nature, architecture and history on socially distant picnics and walks, reservations are required. All artists and dates are subject to change. To explore Caramoor’s grounds and the Sonic Innovaions exhibition, reservations are required. (Submitted)

The flu and you Experts answer questions about this year’s flu shot Flu season will look different this year, as the country grapples with the coronavirus pandemic. Many Americans are reluctant to visit a doctor’s office, and public health officials worry people will shy away from being immunized. Although sometimes incorrectly regarded as just another bad cold, flu also kills tens of thousands of people in the U.S. each year, with the very young, the elderly and those with underlying conditions the most vulnerable. When coupled with the effects of COVID-19, public health experts say it’s more important than ever to get a flu shot. Aside from the potential burden on hospitals, there’s the possibility people could get both viruses — and “no one knows what happens if you get influenza and COVID (simultaneously) because it’s never happened before,” Dr. Rachel Levine, Pennsylvania’s secretary of health, told reporters this month. As flu season approaches, here are some answers to a few common questions: Q: When should I get my flu shot? A: Many pharmacies and clinics will start immunizations in early September. Generally, influenza viruses start circulating in mid- to late October but become more widespread later, in the winter. It takes about two weeks after getting a shot for antibodies — which circulate in the blood and thwart infections — to build up. “Young, healthy people can begin getting their flu shots in September,
and elderly people and other vulnerable populations can begin in October,” said Dr. Steve Miller, chief clinical officer for insurer Cigna. The CDC has recommended that people “get a flu vaccine by the end of October,” but noted it’s not too late to get one after that because shots “can still be beneficial and vaccination should be offered throughout the flu season.” Even so, some experts say not to wait too long this year — not only because of COVID-19, but also in case a shortage develops because of overwhelming demand. Q: What are the reasons I should roll up my sleeve for this? A: Get a shot because it protects you from catching the flu and spreading it to others, which may help lessen the burden on hospitals and medical staffs. And there’s another message that may resonate in this strange time. “It gives people a sense that there are some things you can control,” said Eduardo Sanchez, chief medical officer for prevention at the American Heart Association. While a flu shot won’t prevent COVID-19, he said, getting one could help your doctors differentiate between the diseases if you develop any symptoms — fever, cough, sore throat — they share. You cannot get influenza from having a flu vaccine. All eligible people, especially essential workers, those with underlying conditions and those at higher risk — including very
young children and pregnant women — should seek protection, the CDC said. It recommends that children over 6 months old get vaccinated. Q: What do we know about the effectiveness of this year’s vaccine? A: Flu vaccines — which must be developed anew each year because influenza viruses mutate — range in effectiveness annually, depending on how well they match the circulating virus. Last year’s formulation was estimated to be about 45% effective in preventing the flu overall, with about a 55% effectiveness in children. The vaccines available in the U.S. this year are aimed at preventing at least three strains of the virus,
and most cover four. Q: What are insurance plans and health systems doing differently this year? A: Insurers and health systems contacted by KHN say they will follow CDC guidelines, which call for limiting and spacing out the number of people waiting in lines and vaccination areas. Some are setting appointments for flu shots to help manage the flow. Health Fitness Concepts, a company that works with UnitedHealth Group and other businesses to set up flu shot clinics in the Northeast, said it is “encouraging smaller, more frequent events to support social distancing” and “requiring all forms to be completed and
shirtsleeves rolled up before entering the flu shot area.” Also, nationally, some physician groups contracted with UnitedHealth will set up tent areas so shots can be given outdoors, a spokesperson said. Q: Usually I get a flu shot at work. Will that be an option this year? A: Aiming to avoid risky indoor gatherings, many employers are reluctant to sponsor the on-site flu clinics they’ve offered in years past. And with so many people continuing to work from home, there’s less need to bring flu shots to employees on the job. Instead, many employers are encouraging workers to get shots from their primary care doctors, at pharmacies or in other
community settings. Insurance will generally cover the cost of the vaccine. Q: What are pharmacies doing to encourage people to get flu shots? A: Some pharmacies are making an extra push to get out into the community to offer flu shots. Walgreens, which has nearly 9,100 pharmacies nationwide, is continuing a partnership begun in 2015 with community organizations, churches and employers that has offered about 150,000 off-site and mobile flu clinics to date. Both Walgreens and CVS are encouraging people to schedule appointments and do paperwork online this year to minimize time spent in the stores.

Primed for disease Vaping negatively affects oral health The warnings about vaping — inhaling the vapor of electronic cigarettes – tend to focus on the potential dangers to the heart and lungs. But an increasing amount of research shows the chemicals in e-cigarettes start to inflict damage right where they enter the body: your mouth. Because e-cigarettes are a recent phenomenon, said Dr. Crystal Stinson, assistant professor at Texas A&M College of Dentistry in Dallas, “Studies on their impact are really new. But now we have a solid amount of evidence that shows the link between e-cigarettes and poor oral health.” Nicotine, whether smoked or vaped, restricts blood flow to the gums, which can contribute to periodontal disease. The fluid in e-cigarettes, which can include propylene glycol, benzene, formaldehyde and other chemicals, only increases the risks. A study published earlier this year in the journal iScience showed that 43% of people using e-cigarettes had gum disease and oral infections. That figure was higher among smokers – 73% – but only 28% among people who neither smoked nor vaped. “The oral cavity is really resilient tissue that heals faster than other parts of the body,” Stinson said. “But we also know that when you repeatedly traumatize it, that’s when you end up having issues that are irreversible.” Those issues, she added, range from inflammation and tooth cavities to loss of
bone that anchors teeth to the jaw, called periodontitis, and oral cancer. Another study published in May in Science Advances concluded the oral microbiome — the vast collection of friendly bacteria, viruses and other microbes that live in the mouth — of e-cigarette users without gum disease looked a lot like the microbiome of people with periodontitis. “It’s absolutely scary stuff,” said Dr. Purnima Kumar, professor at the Ohio State University College of Dentistry and the study’s senior author. “E-cigarettes stress the bacterial communities that live in your mouth, and they encase themselves in slime. So they’re no longer good bacteria and the inflammatory response is through the roof. People are walking around thinking they’re healthy, but they are just primed for disease.” Oral health is a critical element of whole-body health. Two preliminary studies presented in February at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference linked gum disease with a higher rate of strokes caused by hardening of large arteries in the brain and also with severe artery blockages. A 2018 study in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension found that gum disease appears to worsen high blood pressure and interferes with medications to treat hypertension. Last December, the American Dental Association issued a statement urging a ban on e-cigarettes
43% not approved by the Food and Drug Administration to help people quit smoking, as well as more research on the effects of vaping on oral health. “We’ve just scratched the surface,” Kumar said. “We know it’s detrimental. We need to start looking at which chemical components of vape really cause this, why does it cause this, how long does it take to start, and how long does the body need to recover once you quit.” Not enough time has passed since vaping became popular to assess the longterm dangers, Stinson said. “Unfortunately, everybody’s an experiment right now.”
A study published earlier this year in the journal iScience showed that 43% of people using e-cigarettes had gum disease and oral infections.
But Stinson doesn’t need to wait for more studies to be convinced of the dangers of vaping. One look inside a vaper’s mouth usually tells the story. “Periodontal disease is normally an adult disease, and we’re seeing it in younger people,” she said. “Younger people normally have more saliva than they need, so when they present with dry mouth, periodontal disease or increased complaints of mouth ulcers, our next question is, ‘Do you vape?’ These symptoms are all tied to components in e-cigarettes.” She also notices more cavities in her younger patients who vape, which she
believes may be due to the acidity of the components in vape liquid and an increase in cavity-causing bacteria. Stinson attributes the high rate of nicotine dependence to the sweet flavorings that helped attract adolescents to e-cigarettes. In February, the FDA banned many flavored e-cigarettes in hopes of reducing the rise in vaping among young people, but health experts fear many are already hooked on nicotine. “Phasing out the flavors is going to help, but we still have a population that is struggling to let go of the habit,” she said. Both Stinson and Kumar are involved in education and cessation programs
aimed at convincing young people not to start vaping and helping those who do to stop. The first lesson: Don’t be fooled into thinking that what looks like steam is a safe alternative to cigarette smoke. “You hear ‘vapor’ and you think steam facials or a tea kettle,” Kumar said. “It’s not a vapor. It’s an aerosol, like hairspray or what you use to kill ants and cockroaches. When I teach young kids, I take little cans of hairspray and say, ‘I want you to spray this in your mouth.’ “They say, ‘Ew, no.’ So, I say, ‘Then why would you vape?’”

Football shuffled to spring By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Sept. 9, the NYSPHSAA issued a statement on “high-risk” fall sports, announcing that football, volleyball and cheerleading seasons will be postponed until March 1. The notice comes on the heels of criticism that state officials had not been clear about “return-to-play” policies regarding certain sports. The revised calendar will place the three sports in a “Fall Sports Season II” schedule, which is currently scheduled to run from March 1 to May 1. NYSPHSAA Executive Director Robert Zayas said that he believes the postponement will allow student-athletes to participate in athletics while adhering to state health guidelines. “This decision was focused on attempting to provide those football and volleyball athletes, and competitive cheerleaders, with the opportunity to have a quality participation experience,” Zayas said. The move to delay the season
has been met with widespread criticism, as football teams in 33 states have already begun their fall seasons. Soccer, field hockey and cross country have all been approved by New York state officials. Anthony Vitti, Mamaroneck’s head football coach, said he welcomes any positive news regarding the restart,however. “It’s good to get some finality on the issue,” Vitti said. “But obviously it’s not final, because we’re not out of the woods yet.” Vitti, like many football coaches, argued that the leadership from state officials has been confusing throughout the pandemic. “There have been a lot of measures,” he said. “Half measures, slow measures, it’s good to have something in place.” The start date for spring athletics, once slated for March 15, has been delayed to April 19; the NYSPHSAA has considered extending the spring season. Over the summer, state officials had floated the idea of holding all three sports seasons between
January and June. “It was very important the overlap was reduced,” Zayas said. “A few months ago, when we talked about implementing the condensed season model, that was a major concern of our membership.” Although Vitti, like many coaches, is eager to get his players back on the field, he was quick to acknowledge the impact the pandemic might have had on his players hoping to land a scholarship. “You want to create the safest environment, you want to play the safest game,” he said. “But you’d be remiss if you didn’t think of the aspirations, and the impact of having three seasons between January and June. “Nobody knows what to expect,” he said. “But having football there, having that school spirit, I think it will generate good feelings. I can’t wait to look them in the eye and get to work.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
On Sept. 9, the NYSPHSAA announced that high-risk fall sports, including football volleyball and cheerleading, will be rescheduled for a March restart.
