County Health Department offers more free measles vaccines With the largest measles outbreak in the U.S. underway since 2000, Westchester County Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler urged unvaccinated children who will be attending summer camp, along with camp counselors, staff and Westchester residents to register for a free MMR vaccine clinic, offered by the county Department of Health.

The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps and rubella, and is both very safe and effective.

To reserve a spot to get a free MMR vaccine, go to health. ny.gov/gotoclinic/60. The MMR vaccination clinics are as follows: • Tuesday, April 30, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., 134 Court St., White Plains • Tuesday, May 14, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., 134 Court St., White Plains In addition to attending one of the Health Department’s vaccination clinics, the MMR vaccine is available through private health-

care providers and is covered by most insurers. Residents should call their health care provider as soon as possible to make arrangements to be vaccinated.

“While I strongly encourage everyone to get fully vaccinated, I especially want to appeal to anyone working or attending a camp this summer to do so,” Amler said. “Lack of immunity can keep kids home from camp and camp staff home from work for 21 days if exposed to measles.

Measles is highly contagious.

People can spread measles before they even know they are sick. People without immunity can catch measles just by being in a room for up to two hours after a person with measles has left.

Without immunity, nine out of 10 people who are exposed will become infected.

If exposed and not immune, campers will miss out on summer fun while being isolated at home for three weeks.”

Measles is a highly contagious

virus that causes fever, rash, cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes. Measles spreads from person to person by coughing or sneezing. Tiny white spots may appear in the mouth and a rash may appear on the body two to four days after symptoms begin.

Without knowing they are sick, an infected person can spread measles to others up to four days before the rash appears, and for up to four days afterwards.

Complications from measles are common and can include hearing loss, pneumonia, swelling of the brain and death. About one in four people who get measles will be hospitalized.

Those who get measles are also at risk for Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), a very rare, but fatal disease of the central nervous system that results from a measles virus infection acquired earlier in life.

SSPE generally develops 7 to 10 years after a person has measles, even though the person seems to

have fully recovered from the illness. Measles can also be more severe in young infants, pregnant women and people with a weak immune system. Anyone who believes they may have been exposed should contact their healthcare provider.

The Health Department vaccinated 92 people at three MMR clinics held earlier in April. The County Health Department arranged these clinics, after publicly urging timely MMR vaccination, after eight unvaccinated children in northern Westchester were diagnosed with measles.

The children do not attend public schools or daycare programs.

Dr. Amler cautioned anyone who thinks they have measles to call their doctor and report their symptoms. They should not go to a health care facility unannounced, to avoid spreading measles to others. For more information, call the NYS Measles Hotline at 1-888-364-4837.

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!”

This month’s offering from The Ossining Documentary and Discussion Series—after being snowed out last November—is “Plastic Paradise,” a journey of discovery through the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. The free screening will take place on Thursday, May 9, at the Ossining Public Library. Seating begins at 6:15 p.m., admission is always free and all are welcome. A panel discussion will follow with expert panelists drawn from nearby communities.

“Plastic Paradise” tells the story of what happens to all our daily plastic after we’re done with it. Director Angela Sun chronicles her journey of discovery, and, as The Honolulu Pulse puts it, “offers a fresh, new voice for her generation and has made a film that can appeal to the masses.”

The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is compromised of some of the 8 million tons of plastic thrown into the ocean every year. Currents concentrate these byproducts of our consumer lifestyles—the portion of the Garbage Patch between Hawaii and California is larger than the state of Texas. The patch contains more than 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic, and it is projected that by 2050 plastics in the oceans will weigh more than all the fish in the seas.

“Plastic Paradise” includes interviews with scientists, researchers, influencers and volunteers who shed light on the effects of our rabid plastic consumption. Not only does all the discarded plastic have catastrophic effects on marine wildlife, but carcinogenic and estrogen-like chemicals in our environments amounts to an enormous and uncontrolled experiment on the entire biosphere, including our human bodies.

Because most plastic production begins by converting methane to ethylene, making all that plastic promotes the environmentally disastrous practice of fracking; and, through leaks throughout the supply chain, contributes to climate change by releasing large amounts of greenhouse gasses, including methane, a gas at least 30 times more potent at trapping heat than carbon dioxide. And much of the harm begins at home, “Because of shale gas [from fracking], it is more cost effective to produce

ethylene in U.S. than just about anywhere else in the world,” in the words of the American Chemistry Council.

As always, the screening will be followed by a panel discussion. Every month panelists with expertise in the film’s sub-

ject matter generously volunteer to help shed light on the issues raised. Audience members are encouraged to respond honestly and ask their questions. The panel for this film consists of: Jordan Christensen, program coordinator for Citizens Campaign

for the Environment, and Debra Magadini, researcher at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory.

The Ossining Documentary and Discussion Series is organized by a committee of volunteers committed to bringing their “community together one film at

a time.” This will be the group’s 62nd screening since its founding in 2013. The public is invited to visit OssiningDocumentaries. org to learn about more upcoming films on a wide variety of topics.

Screenings are always free and all are welcome. (Submitted)

Free rabies clinic in New Rochelle Westchester County residents can bring their dogs, cats and ferrets in for free rabies vaccinations on Sunday, April 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Stamen Animal Hospital, 61 Quaker Ridge Road in New Rochelle.

Call 632-1269 to schedule a required appointment.

Cats and ferrets must be in carriers and dogs must be on a leash. Aggressive dogs must be muzzled. No examinations will be given and all pets must be supervised by an adult.

“Vaccinating your pet against rabies will protect your pet and your family in case your pet has contact with a rabid or potentially rabid animal,” said Westchester County Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler.

Under New York state law, dogs and cats must receive their first rabies vaccine no later than four months after birth. A second rabies shot must be given within one year of the first vaccine, with

additional booster shots given every one or three years after that, depending on the vaccine used.

Owners who fail to get their pets vaccinated and keep the vaccinations up-to-date may be fined up to $2,000.

Rabies is a fatal disease that is spread through the bite or saliva of infected animals. Those animals most commonly infected are raccoons, skunks, bats and foxes. However, domestic animals such as cats and dogs are also at risk because they can easily contract rabies from wild or stray animals.

A pet that is up-to-date with its rabies vaccinations would only need to get a booster dose of vaccine within five days of the pet’s exposure to a known or suspect rabid animal. Animals not upto-date with rabies vaccinations would need to be quarantined or potentially euthanized following contact with a rabid or suspect-rabid animal.

A change in an animal’s behavior is often the first sign of rabies. A rabid animal may become either abnormally aggressive or unusually tame. It may lose fear of people and become docile or it may become particularly excited and irritable. Staggering, spitting and frothing at the mouth are sometimes noted in infected animals. Adults should encourage children to avoid touching unfamiliar animals and to immediately tell an adult if they have been bitten or scratched by an animal.

All animal bites or contacts with animals suspected of having rabies must be reported to the Westchester County Department of Health at 813-5000. After hours, callers should follow instructions in the recorded message for reporting public health emergencies 24 hours a day.

To learn more about rabies and its prevention, visit the health department’s website at westchestergov.com/health. (Submitted)

Otis, groups announce green infrastructure workshop Local officials, city managers, engineers, planners and environmental advocates are invited to attend a Green Infrastructure Grant Workshop offered by the New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation, EFC, on Friday, May 3, at the Jay Heritage Center, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The workshop is co-sponsored by state Assemblyman Steve Otis on behalf of the Westchester Assembly Delegation, along with the Jay Heritage Center, the Westchester Municipal Officers Association, Sustainable Westchester, Federated Conservationists of Westchester County, FCWC, and Save the Sound.

Senior staff from the EFC will share information on two clean water green infrastructure programs offered to local governments. The programs will assist local governments in utilizing unique stormwater infrastructure design and cutting-edge green technologies to improve water quality. Networking opportunities and informational tables will be available to learn about local sustainable initiatives throughout the Lower Hudson Valley.

“The Governor and EFC have

shown tremendous leadership in making clean water investment a top priority throughout the state,” Otis said. “An additional $500 million has been added towards water quality programs in the 2019-20 fiscal year state budget, the first installment of a new five-year, $2.5 billion program to address water quality issues proposed by the Governor. It is my hope that many Westchester communities will take advantage of these innovative green infrastructure grant programs to improve water quality.”

Suzanne Clary, president of the Jay Heritage Center, said, “The Jay Heritage Center is proud to host this event which not only underscores the importance of upgrading our water infrastructure but also introduces municipalities and people to the grant process in an accessible, practicable way. As a National Historic site overlooking Long Island Sound, adjacent to streams and a nature preserve, the Jay Estate is a perfect location for the discussion of manmade impacts on our natural resources and sustainable solutions.”

FCWC is also a sponsor of the

workshop and has been a longtime leader in promoting innovative solutions to a wide variety of environmental issues.

“Green infrastructure is an important tool for municipalities to mitigate flooding and improve stormwater, but it can be expensive to implement,” said Mamaroneck Town Supervisor Nancy Seligson. “These State grants make it possible for all municipalities to participate in environmental sustainability through green infrastructure.”

Otis helped initiate New York’s main water grant program, the Water Infrastructure Improvement Act which was established as part of the 2015-16 state budget. The program is the largest part of the comprehensive clean water programs adopted by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state Legislature in 2017 and 2019, which will provide more than $5 billion in support to a wide variety of water quality programs through 2024. The green infrastructure programs to be discussed at the workshop are part of this comprehensive program.

Westchester communities will help keep pollution out of our rivers, streams and Long Island Sound, while also reducing the wear-and-tear on our storm water and sewage infrastructure.”

“Both organizations are devoted to introducing students and audiences to contemporary music and to the nurturing and development of emerging composers.”

Faculty and student soloists and ensembles can be heard in recitals taking place at the school throughout the festival including “Jazz A to Z” on Monday, May 13.

A great night of sports LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

It’s amazing to think that a day in which my struggling Red Sox managed to lose not one but two different games could be one of the more memorable sports-watching days that I’ve enjoyed recently, but sometimes, that’s just the way it goes.

Sometimes, things just fall into place.

Late April is generally a hotbed of sports-related excitement. The Major League Baseball season hasn’t quite reached the dog days of summer, the NHL and NBA are wrapping up the first round of their playoffs, and football fans are counting down the hours until one of the most-hyped events of the year, the NFL Draft. And on April 23, those things all converged to give us a terrific day of sports.

Sure, the Brooklyn Nets got eliminated by the 76ers after putting forth a putrid effort in Game 5, but I don’t want to dwell on the

bad stuff. It’s the reason I don’t feel like mentioning the Red Sox, after all. Although the local baseball teams continued their intriguing starts, with the injury-ravaged Yankees winning their fifth straight game despite trotting out a lineup full of guys you’ve never heard of—and may never hear from again. The Mets, not wanting to be outdone, got a tremendous performance by struggling hurler Zack Wheeler, who pitched—and hit— his way to a 9-0 win over the hated Phillies.

But the absolute two best things that happened on Tuesday night didn’t have anything to do with the local sports scene, or even have to do with teams I particularly care about. The first came at the end of Game 5 of the series between the Portland Trailblazers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, when Blazers’ star Damian Lillard hit an insane 37-foot step back buzzer-beating series clincher to send his team to the next round with a 118-115 win.

Throw in the fact that he scored an even 50 points on the night, it

seems pretty clear that when we look back at Lillard’s career, this will be his signature performance.

And then you had the absolute madness of the San Jose Sharks’ Game 7 overtime win over the Golden Knights. And boy, was that a doozy. Trailing 3-0 in the third period, San Jose’s captain Joe Pavelski was cross-checked hard and lay bleeding on the ice. After a 5-minute major penalty was assessed to Las Vegas, the Sharks went on a massive run, scoring four goals in 4 minutes to take the lead, and would go on to top the 2018 Stanley Cup runner-ups in overtime.

With the wins by Portland and San Jose, I couldn’t believe how easily I was sucked into the action. I couldn’t care less if these teams win, ordinarily, but when you know you’re watching something great, sometimes that’s all it takes to hook you.

And when you get two of those moments in one night?

That’s why sports are magical.

Garnets fall to John Jay GIRLS LACROSSE

non-league

JOHN JAY 17 RYE 5

4/23/19

RYE HS

Game Notes: • John Jay’s Cara O’Reilly had a hat trick and 4 assists • The Indians dominated time of possession • Rye will host Scarsdale on 4/27

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On April 23, the Rye girls’ lacrosse team faced perhaps its stiffest test to date, when they hosted Section I’s top-ranked team, John Jay (7-1). Despite a gutsy performance by the Garnets, the Indians’ ball control— and an unfortunate injury to one of Rye’s top stars—doomed the home team to a 17-5 loss.

Rye’s ability to control the draw—something that has been one of the Garnets’ strengths this season—was neutralized from Players from John Jay and Rye battle for possession on April 23.

the opening whistle, as John Jay’s senior Cara O’Reilly put her mark on the game from the outset. O’Reilly notched a hat trick, dished out four assists, but most importantly was able to set the tone for the day with a game-high nine draw wins.

In total, the Indians were able to win 18 draws to the Garnets’ 6.

“That was really the first game this year we were dominated on the draw. If you can’t get the ball, you are going to be playing defense all game,” Rye head coach Dennis Hurlie said. “And [O’Reilly] is one of the best I’ve seen. She’s a huge weapon for them.”

Rye’s goals came from Ellie Hodges, Allie Gold, Jordan Basso, Catherine Egan and Maddie Howson.

Despite the loss, Hurlie believes that taking on teams like John Jay will only serve to strengthen his group for an inevitable postseason push. In the next week, the Garnets will take on a number of top teams, including Scarsdale and Tappan Zee, two opponents that should provide a formidable test.

“John Jay has proven that, right now, they’re the best team

in the section, but our schedule is loaded,” Hurlie said. “When you play that level of opponent, it’s going to give you an indication of where you are.”

Unfortunately for Rye, however, they may not be heading into these upcoming showdowns at full strength. Early in the first half on Tuesday, the Garnets were dealt a blow when junior standout Leah Kenny was forced to leave the game after sustaining a leg injury. Kenny, who scored her 100th career goal on April 2, would not return to action and there is no current timetable on her return.

In her absence, Hurlie said that the Garnets will have to rely on contributions from players like Paige Drago, Amelia Cunningham and the rest of a talented junior class, as well as on the continued emergence of younger players like freshman Ellie Hodges.

“As the expression goes, the air really went out of the room,” Hurlie said. “But I think what it means is that other girls, especially in her junior class, are going to have to start to step up.”
