Hochul provide update of state COVID numbers Gov. Kathy Hochul updated New Yorkers on Aug. 31, on the state’s progress combating COVID-19. “COVID-19 continues to spread across New York State and threaten the lives of New Yorkers, and we’re committed to driving vaccination rates up across the state,” Hochul said. “We’re working to get the vaccination
numbers up and requiring universal mask use to keep our children and school professionals safe, but we still need to reach New Yorkers across the state who haven’t received the shot. This pandemic is not over and the vaccine has now received full approval from the FDA, so don’t delay and get your shot right away.” (Submitted)

Westchester County Youth Bureau calls for proposals The Westchester County Youth Bureau is requesting proposals from qualified proposers to conduct a countywide Community Needs Assessment specific to children, youth and families. The Needs Assessment will serve to identify existing resources, assess persistent needs, emerging trends and detect gaps in services. The proposal due date is Sept. 30 at 4 p.m. “Given the ripple effect of Covid-19 and the ongoing needs of children, youth, and families,
the Needs Assessment is timely and needed,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said.“It is always our mission to better understand the needs of Westchester County’s residents which is why our leadership within the Youth Bureau and other departments are examining various aspects of the community.” Recognizing the breadth of this project, the Youth Bureau has created a workgroup comprised of Youth Board members and community stakeholders that
will collaborate with the selected contractor to support the Needs Assessment. “The Youth Bureau is committed to ongoing learning and informed decision making,” said Dr. DaMia Harris-Madden, Youth Bureau director. “For the past three years, we have planned and implemented policies to improve the quality of youth service delivery; yet, the Needs Assessment designed with a participatory evaluation lens, will strengthen our aims and identify the vast
strengths and opportunities where children, youth, and families are concerned.” The link to the proposal may be found at: https://rfp.westchestergov. com/rfp/extDetails/42380 Should a proposer have official questions regarding the RFP, they must submit their questions in writing to WCYBRFP@ westchestergov.com. General questions may be directed to the Youth Bureau at 995-2745. (Submitted)

Rye looks to repeat By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor 2020 might have been a fruitful—albeit chaotic—year for the Rye girls soccer team, but the squad is making the most of its essentially normal preseason this time around. On Aug. 30, the Garnets played host to Lourdes and Bronxville in a three-way scrimmage that head coach Rich Savage said is just another sign that, as far as high school sports go, “we are back to business as usual.” After kicking off preseason practices last week, Savage and the Garnets have been working to replicate last year’s success, something made easier by the fact that area teams have been allowed ample practice time without the coronavirus restrictions that limited operations a year ago. “It’s amazing to know we can be outside, practice without masks, hold outdoor team dinners, it has a really good feel to it,” said Savage. “Having a real preseason where there’s no school and we can have a couple
of practices a day, we are further along and you can see the chemistry is there.” In 2020, Rye overcame numerous Covid-related setbacks to shine in a condensed regular-season campaign and went on to upset Class AA powerhouse Scarsdale in double-overtime to claim the Southern Westchester Regional Large School Championship. According to Savage, the lessons learned during last year’s run should serve the team well moving forward. “Last year, whether it was when I had to get quarantined and couldn’t coach for a while or some of the players had to get quarantined, the season almost got pulled out from under us but it was magical,” he said. “They never take anything for granted; they realize we have to live in the moment and prepare for the future.” Rye returns eight players who started for last year’s title team, led by four-year starters Reilly Traynor and Anabelle Thomas who give Rye as formidable a duo as any team in the section. Along with fellow seniors Lauren Meh-
rara and Hannah Bertisch, Traynor and Thomas will help bring along the 11 underclassmen on the roster. “We have four freshmen and seven sophomores and the balances is juniors and seniors,” said Savage. “But those four [seniors] are going to provide the leadership that we rely on.” The Garnets will have little time to acclimate themselves to varsity competition once the season opens up on Sept. 9, as they will take on three of Section I’s top teams—Somers, Albertus Magnus and Mamaroneck—in the first week of play. To that end, Savage was pleased with his team’s play on Monday against competitive squads like Bronxville and Lourdes. “We know Bronxville is always a strong team, they’re always well-coached, and Lourdes didn’t back either,” he said. “We were looking to see if we stood up or if we backed away, we know we have speed, but did we use the speed and were we confident; and for the most part we were.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com Anabelle Thomas drives past a Lourdes defender during a three-way scrimmage on Aug. 30, 2021.

Growth from
TRAUMA Nurse-educator shares how to help survivors thrive
Good sleep especially important before vaccines Vital to your well-being, sleep affects every tissue of your body and both your mental and physical health, according to Dr. Merrill Mitler, a sleep expert and neuroscientist at the National Institutes of Health. With that in mind, it’s not surprising that sleep also affects our immune system and that a good night’s sleep is crucial before getting a vaccine. “There was a study with influenza vaccine that showed that people who were sleep deprived the week before getting the vaccine did not produce enough antibodies after the vaccine, compared to the people that slept good nights, the right amount of sleep,” said Dr. Lourdes DelRosso, an associate professor of pediatrics and sleep medicine at the
University of Washington School of Medicine. “So, sleep is very important, even around your vaccination time for your immune system to produce the right amount of immune response after the vaccine.” “Get a really good night’s sleep all the time,” but especially before getting a vaccine for COVID-19, the flu or other infectious diseases, DelRosso said. The pandemic wreaked havoc with many people’s sleep schedule. If you haven’t returned to a good sleep schedule, now is the time to make changes, she said. “Go to bed at the right time, wake up at the right time, try to get a restful sleep, have a regular diet, avoid caffeine,” DelRosso said.
TO ENSURE A BENEFICIAL REST: • Turn off electronics at least an hour before bed and switch to relaxing activities like reading or singing, which is calming for children. • Avoid caffeine six to seven hours before bedtime. • Get regular exercise. • Eat dinner a couple hours before bedtime and have a bedtime snack if needed but nothing too sugary. • Avoid too many liquids before bed, which will make you wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.
Life is filled with trauma. Everything from small, individual setbacks that can feel huge personally to incredible anguish that affects whole communities. How a person engages with their trauma makes the difference between whether they can just survive or also thrive. That’s the basis for Joyce Mikal-Flynn’s work with posttraumatic growth. Mikal-Flynn survived a near-death experience and combined her healing journey with her nursing background to create a strengths-based clinical pathway guiding survivors toward a productive recovery. A nurse practitioner for over 40 years, Mikal-Flynn earned her doctorate in leadership and currently teaches in the nursing program at Sacramento State University as well as Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, California. Her new book, “Anatomy of a Survivor: Building Resilience, Grit and Growth After Trauma,” was published April 27. In 1990 Mikal-Flynn was a healthy, active mother of three young children who enjoyed participating in marathons and triathlons in addition to her nursing career. At a championship swim meet with her children, she took part in a “fun” adult relay race, swimming the last leg as the fastest in her group of family and friends. Clinging to the side after finishing, Mikal-Flynn suddenly sank to the bottom of the 13-foot pool. Her husband quickly dove in and brought her to the surface. A physician in attendance at the meet performed 22 minutes of CPR to restart her heart before she was helicoptered to a medical center emergency room and hooked up to a respirator. She survived, but her life
changed significantly. “I was weak and exhausted, but I also had some big problems, emotional and cognitive delays and aphasia,” the loss of ability to understand and express speech, Mikal-Flynn said. In recovery, she was confronted with almost constant negativity about her future. “I was told over and over what I wasn’t going to be able to do. I was told I would never run again,” Mikal-Flynn said. She wanted to talk about what she would be able to do and how doctors could help her get there, she said. This frustration led her down a new path. “It fueled me personally and professionally,” said Mikal-Flynn, who returned to school. Her master’s degree and doctoral research focused on posttraumatic growth. Trauma is not an end point but a beginning, she said. “What builds our resilience, grit and ability to experience growth after trauma is the trauma itself. You have to directly engage with trauma to get the outcome of growth. We are surviving machines,” Mikal-Flynn said. Trauma may undo a person, send them into depression and undermine personal and professional success, yet going through all that is part of the healing process. “Part of the process of moving on is recognizing that the trauma happened — not to get over it but to use it to move forward,” Mikal-Flynn said. Nurses are in a unique position to help others who have experienced and hope to grow from trauma. “Most people get through
stuff, but too often we default to negativity. We point out weaknesses,” said Mikal-Flynn, who offered the following tips for nurses and other health care professionals. • Be open minded. • Live in the here and now. “Healing takes time. You are there with them at the beginning of this process.” • Recognize potential instead of being afraid of offering false hope. • Don’t think too far in advance. “Will they walk again? Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. Focus on what they can do now.” • Give the patient as much control over their life and decisions as possible. “Focus on what you can do to make a person bigger, better and stronger now to get to the next step.” • Reflect upon your own life. “You have to understand how you personally have experienced posttraumatic growth before you can understand how someone else will.”

Addressing
RACISM in health care
Racism is a public health crisis, and nurses are uniquely positioned to fight back when they see it occurring. “Nurses are ideally suited to talk about antiracism to folks,” said Ernest Grant, president of the American Nurses Association. “Nurses deal with all people 24/7, from cradle to grave, from all walks of life, pediatrics to geriatrics.” While it is easy to say “I’m not racist” or “I don’t discriminate,” systematic racism exists. People of color experience worse health outcomes, have decreased access to health care and are not well represented in leadership roles. “Institutional racism runs deep in both the health care industry as well as the academic institutions who teach and train future health care professionals,” said Shari Ireton, assistant dean of marketing and communication at University of Washington School of Nursing. “For example, when students are taught how to assess a patient’s health, it is typically based on white characteristics, such as looking at the color of a patient’s lips or skin as indicators.” Here are some disparities in health data: • Maternal mortality is more than three times higher among Black women than white women, according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention. • Black infants are more than twice as likely to die before their first birthday than white infants, according to the CDC. • Among Black adults, there is a 50% higher rate of stroke than white adults, with Black men 60% more likely and Black women 30% more likely to die from complications of stroke than their white counterparts, according to the Emergency Care Research Institute. “As coordinators of care, nurses are leaders on the health care team. An important aspect of this leadership role is that nurses create environments in which everyone can feel engaged,” said Robin Hertel, immediate past president of the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses. “In addition, nurses excel at communicating and can develop the tools to listen to what is being said and what is being communicated nonverbally; to initiate critical conversations with others on the health care team and introduce or manage discussions regarding race, equity and inclusivity; and to provide a safe environment in which to have crucial conversations surrounding race and racism.” The nursing code of ethics encourages nurses to practice their profession with compassion and respect for the inherent dignity of every person without prejudice,
Grant said. “Nurses are accepting of all and an advocate for all. That’s why nursing is the most trusted profession, according to the Gallup Poll, for 19 years running,” he said. Antiracism in health care means treating all people the same no matter the color of their skin or what ZIP code they live in, Grant said. “This equity can be attained by ensuring all patients receive care tailored to their needs and taking into account those aspects that make them who they are including race, ethnicity, sexual preference, gender, age, disability, religion and culture,” Hertel said. Being antiracist in health care means calling out racism when it happens. “Use your voice. Educate others. If it’s allowed to happen, people think it’s acceptable. Challenge it. Let them know it’s wrong,” Grant said. “It’s impossible to correct what we refuse to see,” Hertel said. “Making racism visible by naming it is the first step toward resolving it. Once a problem is identified and measured, the work to correct it can begin.” Addressing racism and promoting equity and diversity is simply the right thing to do. “Today’s health system can no longer tolerate unfair treatment of a significant portion of the population,” Hertel said.

Boos for Baez LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
After an August that saw the New York Mets post an abysmal 8-19 record and fall from first place to third in the National League East, it’s hard to imagine things possibly getting worse for the ballclub from Flushing. But as usual, the Mets managed to find a way. Following the Mets’ 9-4 victory over Washington on Aug. 29, the newly acquired Javier Baez incited a media firestorm when he admitted during a postgame presser that the “Thumbs Down” signal—which the Mets have been giving each other on the field in the rare occasion they’ve done something worth cheering about—is a pointed rebuke of the fanbase which Mets players feel are unfairly critical of the team. Yikes and yikes. Now let me get this out of the way first; I don’t have a problem
with the Mets players taking umbrage with the fans’ unhappiness. I also don’t have a problem with them using the boos as motivation. But where Baez messed up—and I mean royally—was publicly admitting to the meaning of the “thumbs down” gesture When I was growing up, there was a youth baseball coach in our area who we simply couldn’t stand playing for. Abrasive, arrogant and lazy, “Coach X”—as I’ll refer to him here—was a nightmare who turned a fair number of pretty decent ballplayers off the sport entirely. For those of us that remained, we channeled our disdain for this oaf into fuel. Before every game, the infield would huddle up on the mound and I—or whoever was pitching—would issue a quick pep talk that always ended with the same (whispered) mantra. “[Blank] Coach X.” It was a reminder that we were playing for each other, not for this coach or anyone else. It reaffirmed that the only people we
SPORTS
owed anything to were the nine guys inside the foul lines. That quote endured for years. By the time we all got to the varsity level, we were still giving that same pregame speech with that same finale, even though playing for Coach X was a distant memory. Heck, half the guys on the varsity team didn’t even know who we were talking about. Even so, the message got through. On the flip side, if I had ever been asked by a media member about what we said in our pregame chats, I certainly would not have been forthcoming with the truth. It would have been embarrassing for that coach and would have reflected poorly on us and painted us as petty, vindictive foul-mouths. By readily admitting to the meaning behind the thumbsdown gesture, Baez made things worse—not only for himself— but for his teammates as well. He placed yet another burden on a team trying to right the ship and make a playoff run, one more distraction that they’ll have to
THE REVIEW • September 3, 2021 • 15
On Aug 29, 2021, Javier Baez gave one of the most disastrous press conferences in New York Mets history, which is saying a lot. If Baez and his teammates didn’t enjoy getting booed before, he ensured that it’s about get a whole lot worse. Contributed photo
fight past if they hope to catch the first-place Braves. Do I blame Mets fans for booing their team? Of course not, the Amazin’s have been a veritable dumpster fire for weeks. Do I
blame the players for not enjoying the cat-calls? I mean, come on, who likes getting booed? But the second Baez opened his mouth on Sunday, an already tense situation got a whole
lot worse. I just hope these guys are ready for the fallout.
