To give residents some respite from the excessive temperatures on Saturday and Sunday, July 20 and 21, Westchester County-owned pools and beaches remained open one additional hour each evening.

“We can’t do anything about the weather, but we can help you stay cool,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said.

“A dip in cool waters does wonders.”

Mayer announces $24K for Pace Women’s Justice Center On Monday, July 22, state Sen. Shelley Mayer and Cindy Kanusher, executive director of the Pace Women’s Justice Center, PWJC, announced a $24,000 grant for the non-profit that provides free legal services to victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and elder abuse.

The funding will support a parttime attorney to provide direct, civil legal services for victims of domestic violence in PWJC’s Family Law Unit. As part of this Unit, the parttime attorney will represent clients on a range of legal issues including

protection orders, custody and visitation, child and spousal support, and contested matrimonial cases.

“As an advocate for domestic violence survivors throughout my career, I am pleased that… I have the privilege of announcing a $24,000 grant for the Pace Women’s Justice Center,” Mayer said.

“This grant, obtained through the leadership of Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, will support the hiring of a part-time attorney to provide services for additional victims and survivors of domestic violence. I commend the critical

work of the Pace Women’s Justice Center, Executive Director Cindy Kanusher, and their staff and volunteers, for all that they do to support the legal needs of victims and survivors through vulnerable and difficult situations.”

Cindy Kanusher, executive director of the Pace Women’s Justice Center, said, “This new grant will help support our Family Law Unit, which represents clients so they can stay safe in their homes, maintain custody of their children, and gain control over their finances. This funding from Senator Mayer

sends the important message that we support survivors, and we will work together towards ending domestic violence.”

The PWJC provides free legal services to more than 3,500 victims and survivors of domestic violence in Westchester and Putnam counties annually, helping clients navigate the legal system during a frightening and potentially dangerous time in their lives.

“These bills passed both the Senate and the Assembly, and I urge the Governor to sign them into law,” Mayer added. (Submitted)

White Plains woman assaults Bee-Line bus driver

Westchester County police arrested a White Plains woman on July 19 and charged her with assaulting a BeeLine bus driver last month outside the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla.

Westchester County police arrested a White Plains woman on July 19 and charged her with assaulting a Bee-Line bus driver last month outside the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla.

Johniazia Torres, 24, of West Post Road was charged with Assault in the second Degree, a felony. She was later arraigned this in Mount Pleasant Town Court and released on her own recognizance.

The June 12 attack occurred at 10:30 p.m. after a female passenger demanded that the driver allow her to get off the bus directly in front of the hospital entrance.

The driver told the passenger that the bus could not discharge passengers until it reached a nearby bus stop.

When the bus stopped at Hospital Oval East and Emergency Drive to let passengers off, the woman approached the driver and sprayed her with pepper spray.

The driver experienced a burning sensation in her eyes and had difficulty breathing. She was treated at the medical center and released that night.

An immediate search of the hospital and surrounding areas was conducted by patrol officers but the suspect could not be lo-

cated. The case was then turned over to detectives Brandon Amlung and Michael Petruolo of the General Investigations Unit. They took Torres into custody today at her home.

“The safety of transit personnel and riders has always been a top priority for the Westchester County Police,” Commissioner Thomas A. Gleason said.

“Our detectives were committed to closing this case with an arrest no matter how long it took.

I commend them for their diligent efforts to identify and apprehend a suspect in this incident.”

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!”

Westchester County Executive George Latimer and the Westchester County Board of Legislators joined with ArtsWestchester to announce a list of 66 Westchester arts organizations and six artists who are the recipients of arts grants for 2019-2020. The county-supported grants, administered

by ArtsWestchester, were presented on July 9 in the following categories: Basic Program Support, Project Support, Yonkers Arts Initiative, Mount Vernon Initiative and Arts for People with Special Needs.

In total, more than $883,000 were awarded to the 72 grantees to support a diverse menu of arts programs and services throughout the towns, villages and cities of Westchester.

County Executive George Latimer explained, “The various grant programs administered by ArtsWestchester are one way we maintain a vibrant cultural infrastructure in Westchester County,” Latimer said. “The competitive grants programs are a powerful example of a forward-thinking public/private partnership that ensures the accessibility and diversity of the arts. This is an investment in our quality of life. And, one that pays dividends when you consider that on an annual basis, arts and culture add $172.3 million in total economic activity to Westchester.”

This year seven new arts organizations were included among the 72 grantees: Bethany Arts Community (BAC)

BAC hosts roughly 50 public performances annually and dozens of afterschool and continuing education classes on site. The grounds, situated on 50 acres, include a Sculpture Park and walking trails that are open to the public 24 hours/7 days a week.

Their mission is to create a space and environment where the many forms of art can be learned, produced and flourish.

Chappaqua Orchestra The Chappaqua Orchestra is a 60-year old organization dedicated to bringing high quality music to the Northern Westchester area, promoting local musicianship, and creating music lovers in the next generation.

Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA) RTA’s mission is to use the transformative power of the arts to develop social and cognitive skills that prisoners need for successful reintegration into the community. RTA also seeks to raise public awareness of the humanity behind prison walls. RTA teaches workshops in a wide variety of arts to 200 prisoners in five correctional facilities, two of which are in Westchester County.

In addition to workshops, from improvisation and physical theatre to comedy writing, songwriting, character development, hip-hop and modern dance, RTA presents full-scale productions of classic, contemporary, original and musical plays as well as music and dance recitals.

Westchester Collaborative Theatre

Westchester Collaborative Theatre is dedicated to the development of new plays. They have established a home for theater artists in Westchester County and the surrounding areas where new plays can be nurtured and developed in a supportive artistic environment. Since WCT’s inception, more than 130 performing artists from Westchester and surrounding counties have joined in their quest to be an incubator for the arts as member artists.

YoFi Fest (The Yonkers Film Festival) YoFi Fest is a unique not-forprofit film festival that draws its audience from a large, diverse and highly populated area that previously did not have an international, world-class event of this type. The mission of YoFi Fest is to promote arts and culture through film festivals, lectures, workshops, screenings and similar activities.

Career Visions CareerVisions is a non-profit organization that helps prepare ‘at-risk’ students for the world of college and careers via creative after-school, weekend and summer enrichment programs.

Yonkers Arts Founded in 2007, Yonkers Arts works to promote and encourage the arts in the city of Yonkers.

Their programming includes: an annual Yonkers Artists Showcase exhibition; an annual Arts Speak event featuring local arts luminaries; marketing campaigns, an Arts Spots Map and newsletter campaigns. (Submitted)

Jacob Burns Film Center to receive $7K seed grant The Jacob Burns Film Center, a nonprofit film and media education center, has been awarded a $7,000 Catalyzing Creative Aging Program seed grant from the National Guild for Community Arts Education. The center was selected to be one of 10 nonprofit

organizations across the country to receive this grant, which will support the launch of a new, innovative arts education programming for older adults.

The 2018-2019 Catalyzing Creative Aging Program, led by the National Guild for Com-

munity Arts Education in partnership with Lifetime Arts, was made possible by generous support from Aroha Philanthropies and the Moca Foundation.

Through this seed grant, the Jacob Burns Film Center will pilot a new, 12-week digital storytell-

Once completed their digital stories will be shared at a premiere screening for families, friends, senior service partners and community members; the event will be complemented by a digital program with links to their stories and artist statements.

“We are thrilled to be collaborating with the Jacob Burns Film Center on this exciting project.

The Knolls and its residents place an incredibly high value on the arts and are looking forward to this opportunity to produce and share their stories, words, and wisdom with members of the [Jacob Burns Film Center] community and beyond,” said Michael Dobbins, executive director of The Knolls.

“The Jacob Burns Film Center is ecstatic and honored to receive this grant from the National Guild for Community Arts Education. Art is a timeless craft, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to be able to provide seniors with the chance to create something so unique and personal. We cannot wait to see the brilliant work that will come out of this program,” says Edie Demas, Executive Director of the JBFC. (Submitted)

Officials applaud lease for new family court building

After extensive examination, Westchester County has agreed to a lease on a newly constructed New Rochelle family building. The new location will be a 35,000-square-foot space on two floors of a yet-to-be-constructed building at 26 Garden St.

Another long-standing issue in Westchester has reached a long-awaited solution. After extensive examination by the Latimer administration and the county Board of Legislators, the county has agreed to a lease on a newly constructed New Rochelle family building that will better serve the people of Westchester for years to come. The new location will be a 35,000-square-foot space on two floors of a yet-to-be-constructed building at 26 Garden St. “Family Court deals with some of the judicial system’s most sensitive clients—and this new building will provide not only a state of the art facility but adequate safety protections for those who need to utilize it,” County Exec-

utive George Latimer said. “The current site is in serious need of an upgrade and this new building is a long time coming. I am proud we are able to accomplish this for the people of Westchester.”

This 30-year lease and plans to construct a new facility, which passed the Board of Legislators unanimously, is the best option for taxpayers, the courts and the community due to its easy access to mass transit, central location and the ability to create a state of the art facility.

“With easy access to mass transit and close proximity to population centers, the new Family Court will be in the best position to serve the residents of our region effectively,” New Rochelle

Mayor Noam Bramson said.

Judge Kathie Davidson added, “It makes a statement to say that we will have this new, state-of-theart facility. A facility that matches what we believe in—that coming into a courthouse you will be seen with respect, that coming into a courthouse you will be valued, that coming into a courthouse you will be seen by judges that are trained, and that you have a community that believes in you, in line with Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals and the State of New York Janet DiFiore’s excellent initiative. I can tell you that in speaking to young people, both in my judicial career and in my legal career, it makes a big difference.” (Submitted)

Westchester gets $560K for young adult reentry project Westchester County Executive George Latimer has announced that $560,000 in funding has been awarded to Westchester’s Young Adult Reentry Project, WYRAP. The program, which is run by the Westchester-Putnam Workforce Development Board, WPWDB, assists soon-to-be released incarcerated young adults with job and workforce training, and reentry services. The WYRAP Program is particularly targeted toward vulnerable populations in Mount Vernon who have

economic barriers to employment.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “As a County, it is critical that we provide the resources necessary to help our youth reenter society armed with the tools that are needed for success,” Latimer said. “This program will assist participants in identifying career growth opportunities, and preparing for a successful future.”

The WYRAP program addresses reintegration challenges by providing specified case

management services to link participants with the appropriate community resources, and uses an established business network to provide job and workforce training.

“This program will go a long way to serving a particularly vulnerable population who will benefit from early intervention at a young age,” nsaid Thom Kleiner, executive director of the WPWDV. “With its success, recidivism will be significantly reduced.” (Submitted)

Helping deal with the anxiety of returning to school

By LATA MCGINN Returning to school in the fall can bring excitement as well as stress and anxiety for many children. There are several things parents can do to help their children ease back into the new school year and deal with the anxiety that often accompanies that first day and even those first few weeks.

1) Help your child know that feeling anxious about going back to school is normal and don’t minimize how they feel. Don’t say, “don’t worry, it will be fine.”

Instead say, “it is normal to feel some anxiety about going back to school. Everyone feels it to some extent. Anxiety is a protective emotion and it will help you prepare and get ready for school, and it will pass when you adjust to being back at school.”

2) Help them understand what the purpose of anxiety is and to listen to it rather than push the anxiety away. Say “anxiety is like an unpleasant but helpful alarm, so the alarm will keep on ringing and get louder until you figure out what it is alarming you to do and then you do it.”

3) Help them figure out what is making them concerned or anxious, so they can talk to themselves in a way that will help them to cope with it. Ask them to pay attention to what is going through their minds when they get anxious and come up with helpful things to say to themselves. If the anxiety is saying, “I am starting high school and I will not do well and won’t get into a good college,” help them to say something like, “I am understandably anxious about starting high school and am worried that I won’t do well but that doesn’t mean I actually won’t do well. I just need to make sure I prepare in advance, organize my work, make sure I have enough time to study, take away all distractions when I study, and get support when I need it.”

4) Help them gradually approach all the things that are making them anxious rather than avoiding what is making them anxious about school. If seeing their friends is making them anxious, and they are avoiding seeing them or thinking about meeting them at school, help them to create a fear ladder and slowly climb

it. Say, “how about you call Matt to see if he can meet up before school, and then after that, you could meet again and include Jack and Alex too?”

5) Do something academic to prepare because the brain drain is real over the summer. If they are weak on a subject, get a tutor for a few weeks or use online forums like the Khan Academy or Crash course (a YouTube channel led by “Fault in our Stars” author John Green and his brother Hank Green) to help them prepare. It will help them get a refresher and build their confidence.

6) Help them to focus on positive things about going back to school as well. Ask them if they are looking forward to any aspect of going back to school. If seeing their friends is something they feel good about, say things like, “it will be nice to catch up with Jane. You have so much to tell her.” Of course, if seeing their classmates is anxiety provoking, pick another topic.

Enter Sandman LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

As a die-hard Boston fan, I always tell people who ask that there are really two Major League Baseball teams that I root for; the Red Sox and whoever happens to be playing the New York Yankees.

But despite my well-established animus toward the Yankees, sometimes a player will come along that even I am incapable of hating. On Sunday, I got the chance to watch one such player, the incomparable Mariano Rivera take his rightful place in Cooperstown, and I have to admit, it was pretty thrilling.

I’ve always had a complicated relationship as it pertained to watching Rivera. Unarguably the greatest closer in MLB history, “Mo” filled me with a sense of impending doom anytime he trotted onto the field. After all, any time he stepped on the mound, a Yankee win was all but guaranteed.

But although I couldn’t stand the team for which he played his entirety of his 19-year career, I also couldn’t help but be awed by his talent, his poise and the grace he showed both on and off the field.

Around 20 years ago, I got the chance to sit in on location as Rivera filmed a training video for the Frozen Ropes baseball training facility. Rivera was already a star at that point, with a couple of World Series titles to his name, but even though I had gotten the chance to watch him on television, and from the stands at Yankee Stadium, the experience of watching him throw bullpens from a mere 20 feet away was a transformative one. The video’s title, “Calm before the Storm,” was an apt one, as I was transfixed by the way Rivera’s effortlessly fluid motion could culminate with an explosion of ferocity that proved the downfall of several generations of big league players. It was awe-inspiring to say the least, and certainly gave me a better appreciation for exactly how skilled the

Yankees’ closer really was.

But Rivera’s on field exploits were only a part of the larger picture. The way he carried himself in his personal and professional life is as much a part of his legacy as his cut fastball. His tireless charity work, his willingness to work with other MLB players on honing their craft—including 2019 inductee Roy Halladay—also cemented his place as one of the genuine “good guys” of professional sports. And in my few interactions with him in his post-playing days—most notably at charity softball games in New Rochelle—I would be hardpressed to characterize his humility as anything but sincere.

So congratulations to No. 42 on his induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He may be joining over 200 of the greatest players the game has ever seen, but when it comes to ability, accolades and character, there are few inductees that stand out quite like the Sandman.

Laverty repeats as dive champ

Katie Laverty accepts her first place diving medal from Westchester County Swimming Association Judges on July 22. Laverty broked a four-year-old dive record with a score of 241.20.

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On July 22, Katie Laverty of the Rye Golf Club put the final exclamation point on her stellar county diving career, taking

home top honors in the girls 1417 division at the 94th Westchester County Swimming Association Championships diving meet at Lake Isle Country Club. Laverty’s score of 241.20 was enough to give the rising Rye High

Yorktown Swim and Dive Team’s Jay Wilkinson performs a dive on July 22 at Lake Isle Country Club. Wilkinson placed first in the boys 14-17 division.

School senior her second straight county championship and broke a four-year-old dive meet record previously set by Larchmont Yacht Club’s Chloe Best.

Laverty’s Monday win didn’t follow the same blueprint as her tight victory in 2018—when she edged Pelham’s Jennifer Bell by 4 points—as she handily outscored second-place finisher Yasmine Hill (188.90) from Briarcliff Manor Club to cruise to the title. Westwood Swim and Tennis Association’s Lizzie Tirado (179.60) and Greenburgh’s Meera Kasturi (172.60) rounded out the top four finishers.

“Some dives were good but there were some I could’ve done better, especially my front twoand-a-half,” Laverty said. “But I was able to bring it back and I think I finished pretty strong.”

Despite now holding the highest diving score in the history of the 94-year-old competition, Laverty admitted that breaking Best’s 2016 record of 236.55 was somewhat bittersweet.“It feels good, but it’s kind of weird breaking the record because I’m still friends with Chloe and she was someone I looked up to when she was an older diver,” Laverty explained. “So it’s definitely weird, but fun to be able

to break it in my final year competing.”

In the boys’ 14-17 division, Jay Wilkinson, of the Yorktown Swim and Dive Team, took home the top spot, posting a score of 161.90 to top a pair of Lake Isle divers, Marco Petit (151.50) and Conor Clancy (120.60). Wilkinson, who placed second in the boys 13-17 division in 2018, ex-

plained he was able to overcome some early nerves and sealed the victory with a strong performance in his final four dives.

“I was really nervous, but I think I did OK,” Wilkinson said.

“From the first dive, I didn’t really feel it, because it was a new dive, but I think I did alright.”

The points earned by divers on Monday will go toward the

overall point totals of the WCSA Championships, which will be decided with four days of swimming events at the Rye Playland pool beginning on July 29. Last year, Lake Isle ran away with the competition, scoring 309 points.

Wykagyl Country Club, which placed second, finished with 215.
