White Plains Hospital partners with county, police to combat opioid crisis According to the American College of Surgeons, 60 percent of patients prescribed with an opioid recently said they were keeping leftover drugs for future use. Nearly one-half reported not knowing what to do with leftover opioid medications, and about 40 percent of those using opioids without a prescription had obtained them from friends or relatives. Here in Westchester County, opioid-related deaths have increased four-fold from 2010 to 2016. To combat this significant public health issue and provide the community with resources for support,

Following introductory remarks by White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach and Westchester County Department of Health Commissioner Sherita Amler, keynote speaker Stephanie Mar-
quesano, founder of the Harris Project and an Ardsley resident, will share her personal story of loss and her mission to positively impact the opioid crisis in the community.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer has lined the walls of the county offices in White Plains with works of art from Arc Westchester. File photo
Westchester County Executive George Latimer has transformed the Michaelian Government Building into an art gallery. Mike’s Bridge Gallery, located in the Michaelian Building, is now lined with bright and charismatic prints on loan from The Arc Westchester. County employees are thrilled to have beautiful art fill the gallery, a space that has been left bare for almost a decade. Some pieces, all done by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, include abstract images in bright yellows and deep blues that resemble the ocean. Other pieces show soft visuals of birds and fish that bring a sense of calm to the gallery. Latimer presented Ric Sweirat, executive director, and volunteer Gallery Manager Rob Miss of The Arc Westchester with a Certificate of Merit for their work with individuals with disabilities. “When you try to cluster people who are working through a variety of developmental disabil-
ities, but still functioning in the world and still wanting to express who they are, we have an obligation to showcase that individuality,” Latimer said. “That is exactly what The Arc Westchester has been doing all these years.” Sweirat said, “I want to thank the county, in particular County Executive Latimer for allowing us to make this presentation so the community can see how important it is for talent to be exhibited, and the expression of the soul of the artist to be presented.” And Miss added, “Today is Autism Awareness Day. The U.N. voted to do this 11 years ago. One of the things you often hear when someone is speaking about someone with autism, is the spectrum. What you are seeing behind us is the spectrum. These are colorful and joyful artworks by people who are employed. Thanks to Ric, they found many jobs and services in The Arc Westchester, and at night this is what they do.” (Submitted)

Each month they select one local charity or community service to support, by donating $1 for every order of their special $6 steak lunch or dinner. During the month of January, the Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions partnered with Sedona in support of Habitat for Human-
ity of Westchester, matching dollar for dollar (up to $1000). The first Monday set a donation record. The rest of the Mondays provided a total donation of $2173. While scheduled for only the final four Mondays of the month, Sedona included receipts from all five Mondays to help reach the $2000-plus total. On March 27, check from both the Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions and Sedona was presented by Lion President Phil Oldham and Sedona co-owner Ron Duckstein to Jim Killoran,

Manhattanville College will host “Designing Memory,” a multimedia immersive event starting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 17, which is free and open to the public. Join Manhattanville College in exploring the relationships among spaces, architecture, monuments, and the construction of memory and identity. The Keynote address, “Public Spaces: Women Take Their Places,” will be given by Coline Jenkins, activist, author and legislator. “Designing Memory” will lead visitors on a tour through the Manhattanville campus stopping at specific locations for performances and discussions surrounding the college’s history, the removal of religious monuments, and the formation of memory and identity. Manhattanville faculty, staff and students will make special presentations and performances that explain each location that will be visited. A special performance will be put on by Manhattanville dance students at the Lady Chapel, the oldest of the
three remaining family chapels in Westchester County. The chapel was built in 1867 by Ben Holladay for his wife Ann, which was restored with a glass roof in 2004 by architect Maya Lin. “Designing Memory” was conceptualized to ask the questions: Can statues be sentenced to death? Can and should memory be deleted or erased? Throughout history, humans have tried desperately to assert their sense of who they are, their memory and identity through external markers, paintings, statues, written documents, songs and monuments. But what happens to these monuments and statues when our sense of who we are changes? “There has been a lot of debate in the world recently about the role of monuments. What they mean, what it means to create them, what it means to destroy them, how we react to them, and how they define spaces. We wanted to do a deeper dive into those ideas because sometimes when an issue is in the news, it becomes
polarizing as if there is something to be ‘for’ and something to be ‘against,’” said Manhattanville College President Michael Geisler. “We are eager to host this important program and future events with the goal of reestablishing Manhattanville College as a center for intellectual conversations about critical contemporary issues for Westchester County.” Manhattanville College was once home to several religious monuments that held deep meaning for the Sacred Heart Order. They were removed in 2005, without a campus conversation. In addition to the removal of religious monuments, the board of trustees voted to remove “Of the Sacred Heart” from the official college name in 1966. Through the years, Coline Jenkins has used her talents to inspire both awareness and pride in women’s history. She works to ensure the placement of monuments to women in Central Park, beginning with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.
Jenkins is co-founder and president of the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Trust, a collection of 3,000 objects of women’s suffrage memorabilia that has been lent to museum exhibits, book publishers, documentary film producers, presidential libraries, popular magazines, television programs (both domestic and international) and Congressional testimony. The Trust’s lending practice fulfills its mission: To preserve the history of the women’s rights movement, to educate the public on this history and to promote the advancement of women’s rights. Jenkins co-authored a book, “33 Things Every Girl Should Know about Women’s History,” and produced the television documentary, “An American Revolution: Women Take Their Place.” Her 2009 testimony before the U.S. Senate contributed to the passage of federal legislation creating a national trail of historic sites, coordinated by Women’s Rights National Historical Park.

Latimer invites job seekers to Playland job fair County Executive George Latimer invites job-seekers of all ages to another Playland Job Fair, Saturday, April 7, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the Westchester County
Center in White Plains. On-thespot interviews will be conducted at this event for the first 200 candidates to arrive. “Playland has long been known
as a fantastic place for a summer job,” Latimer said. “High-school students, senior citizens and everyone in-between can find a position that suits them and gives
the satisfaction that comes with helping people have a fun-filled day at the park.” Positions to be filled include cashiers, ride operators, lifeguards, EMTs and custodial staff. Playland’s seasonal employment runs from April through September.
Although no prior experience is required for most positions, prospective employees should have a positive attitude, enthusiasm, good communication skills
and the ability to work a flexible schedule. Applicants must be a minimum of 16 years of age. Some positions require applicants to be a minimum of 18 years of age. Applicants under age 18 who plan to complete their application prior to the job fair must have the form signed by a parent or guardian to be considered for an interview. Those under 18 who wish to complete their application onsite at the job fair must bring a parent or guardian to the event to sign the form in order for an interview to take place. Eligible applicants who may wish to enroll for direct deposit must bring a voided blank check or a bank-issued direct deposit setup form that includes routing number and account number printed on the document. To apply during the job fair, bring a completed application, a valid photo identification, Social Security card and contact information for three references. Applications can be obtained by calling 813-7010, or at PlaylandPark.org, where an application can be downloaded or submitted online. The County of Westchester is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Feds announce $3.6M grant for county buses
Westchester members of Congress, Nita Lowey, Eliot Engel and Sean Patrick Maloney, all Democrats, announced today that the county has been awarded a $3.6 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration for new vehicles under the Bus & Bus Facilities Competitive Grant Program. The Bus & Bus Facilities Infrastructure Investment Program makes federal resources available to states and direct recipients to replace, rehabilitate and purchase buses and related equipment. “Thousands of Westchester
residents depend on a reliable public transportation system in their daily lives,” Lowey said. “This $3.6 million federal grant will enable the county to purchase new buses, ensuring that residents have continued access to safe and efficient public transportation. As the ranking member on the House Appropriations Committee, which oversees federal funding allocations, I will continue to make sure that the Lower Hudson Valley has the resources to serve residents, support economic growth and prosper.” “This federal money will help repair and replace aging buses that are currently on the
roads of Westchester County,” Engel said. “The idea is to improve public service by helping to ensure that transit riders have access to the safest, most reliable and most efficient modes of transportation possible.” “I applaud our federal delegation for working hard to get Westchester County this much needed money to replace our aging bus fleet,” Democratic County Executive George Latimer said. “It is imperative that county residents have safe and reliable busses that they can depend on to get them to work, school and around the county.” (Submitted)

Looking ahead to the past LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
On April 4, Major League Baseball’s newest initiative to capture young viewers kicked off in earnest, as the Wednesday matinee between the Phillies and Mets could not be found on WPIX 11, SNY or any traditional television channel, including the MLB’s own. Instead, the game was broadcast exclusively on Facebook, the first of 25 Major League games to be shown only on the social media platform during the 2018 season. Like many of the recent attempts by MLB to pursue the next generation of viewers, this one leaves me puzzled. Not only does the deal not make much sense for the average viewer, it makes me think that the league is putting its eggs in the wrong basket. Now, the MLB has always had problems in its attempts to change existing business models, be it with rising ticket prices due to the increasing cost of free agency
or the emergence of team-owned television stations that saw games move from network TV to cable. Heck, I can still remember the public outcry when the bulk of Yankee games, shown on WPIX 11 for nearly 50 years, moved to the newly formed YES Network. A number of local fans—including my great uncle who worked at Yankee Stadium until he retired at the age of 75—found themselves unable to tune in to Bronx Bombers games either because the didn’t have a cable package or because their cable providers had not yet inked a deal with the new network. But issues like these eventually get ironed out for the most part and baseball has found a way to make the majority of its games accessible to a nationwide audience; As a Red Sox fan living outside of the team’s regional market, a relatively inexpensive subscription to MLB.tv allows me to catch Boston games whenever I want. My problem with the MLB’s latest move is that, in terms of thinking toward the future, a deal
with Facebook seems like a step backwards. Forget, for a second, Facebook’s latest controversy surrounding data-mining; how does the MLB making a deal with a platform currently being abandoned by young people in droves make any sense in terms of the long term growth of the sport? By and large, people under the age of 35 rarely go on Facebook anymore. Between algorithms that pepper your newsfeed with sponsored content and your unhinged uncle’s crazy conspiracy theory rants, as well as the advent of newer platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, Facebook is nothing but a dinosaur these days. Did MLB originally hope to stream these games via an exclusive deal with Myspace or AskJeeves? Right now, Major League Baseball seems to be chasing its own tail in search of the elusive younger demographic. Moves to shorten games—like limiting mound visits and toying with extra-inning rules—threaten to tear at the fabric of the sport while producing only minor results in
terms of actual game run times, alienating older viewers while not doing much to make an impact with the younger generation. If my father’s inquisitive texts about how to watch Noah Syndergaard pitch on Wednesday are any indication, this latest move is threatening to do the exact same thing. As a baseball fan through and through, I’ve said it before; I’ve got no idea how to make the sport I love more appealing to the next generation of sports fans. Strangely enough, that seems to make me uniquely qualified for a job with Major League Baseball. So if you’re reading this, Commissioner Manfred, my references are available upon request. On April 4, Major League Baseball broadcast the Mets vs. Phillies game exclusively on Facebook. The move seems like an odd way to appeal to younger viewers. Photo courtesy Wikipedia.org

Garnets stone Somers BOYS LACROSSE

RYE 11 SOMERS 5 RYE HS
4/3/18
Game Notes: • Dennis Kennelly led Rye with 3 goals • The Garnets outshot the Tuskers 39-15 • Rye is currently 2-0 on the season
By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On a frigid, rainy Tuesday afternoon, the Rye lacrosse team stayed hot, trouncing Somers 11-5 at home to win their second straight game to start the season. Although the 2018 campaign may still be in its infancy, the Garnets have shown flashes of brilliance and look to continue their strong play heading into a stretch that sees them take on some of the area’s top teams. Dennis Kennelly led the offense with three goals while Billy McLaughlin and Peter Chabot
contributed two apiece on April 3, as the Garnets’ varied attack was on full display. In their two games this season, including a 12-6 win against Shenendehowa on March 29, the Garnets have twice scored in the double-digits without relying too heavily on any one player to shoulder the offensive load. “Balance is something we preach,” Rye head coach Steve Lennon said. “Whoever is going good can lead us and we’re really excited about that.” Defensively, the Garnets allowed just 15 shots, something Lennon attributes to the
ability of his players to stick with their marks. “We’ve got a bunch of guys we can trust; obviously we slide when we have to but we were able to stick with guys and we didn’t have to slide that much which opens things up,” he said. “And when we’re aggressive on defense, we tend to do a lot better.” The head coach was especially proud of the way his team was able to battle the elements on Tuesday. With temperatures hovering around the low 40’s

and driving rain falling for much of the first half, the Garnets had to abandon a run-and-gun style in favor of a more controloriented attack. “We tried to slow it down a little bit, playing in that half court style,” Lennon said. “It kind of slowed us down but we were able to make the most of a few fastbreaks overall.” The Garnets will be back in action on April 5 when they host Lourdes. They will follow that up with a string of tough contests against Pelham, Riverdale
and Mamaroneck. Despite his team’s strong play in the first two games, Lennon is confident that the team will not rest on its laurels. “I’d like to see our shooting angles get better and our shooting percentage increase,” he said. “I think we can be scoring 15 goals a game. We’re going to be running the gauntlet in the next three weeks against some really good teams, so we’re just going to keep grinding each day.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
