“Given the fact that our neighbors have reported positive mosquitoes, it is safe to assume that mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus are also here in Westchester County,” said Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler. “Rain provides optimal breeding conditions for mosquitoes that can carry the virus. Mosquitoes bite close to where they breed, which is why it’s so important to remove standing water around your home and to use repellents, especially from dawn to dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.” The Health Department prepared for the mosquito season by educating the public through news releases, flyers, social media and our website. The Health Department also gave 450 pounds of free fathead minnows to residents with ponds to reduce the mosquito population. The minnows reduce the mosquito population by feeding on larvae and pupae before they emerge into adult mosquitoes. Throughout the season, the Department also traps and tests mosquitoes to track the presence of mosquito-borne viruses in the county. Last year, 10 local batches of mosquitoes had West Nile Virus out of 393 submitted for VIRUS continued on page 8

Westchester County Executive George Latimer recommends residents follow the Health Department’s West Nile Virus prevention advice to avoid mosquito bites by removing standing water after it rains and using repellents. “Mosquitoes are mostly a nuisance but they can carry diseases, including West Nile Virus,” Latimer said. “To keep mosquitoes from breeding and biting us in our own backyards, once the rain stops, pour out standing water and remove or turn over items such as kiddie pools, wheelbarrows and watering cans. To keep you and your family safer when spending time outdoors, it’s also a good idea to wear repellents.” Although there have been no cases of West Nile Virus in New York State as of Aug. 22, the Westchester County Department of Health is highlighting these prevention recommendations now because Rockland, Nassau and Suffolk counties and New York City have identified mosquitoes with West Nile Virus, in a combined 218 batches of mosquitoes. While no mosquitoes in Westchester County have yet tested positive for the virus, out of the 181 batches of mosquitoes tested since June 13, the Health Department expects to find them here soon.

Westchester to offer back to school vaccines The Westchester County Department of Health will book appointments now for its free back-to-school vaccine clinics to assure children have the vaccines they need for school. On June 13, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed legislation removing non-medical exemptions from school vaccine requirements for children who attend childcare programs or public, private or parochial schools through 12th grade. “This will be the first school year for which there will be no religious exemptions to vaccinations in New York State,” Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler said. “Parents should schedule vaccine visits with their healthcare provider as soon as possible to be sure their children have the vaccines they need to stay in school.” All children who do not have their required immunizations must have their first dose of vaccinations within 14 days from the first day of school. Parents and guardians of these children
must show that they have made appointments for all required follow-up doses within 30 days of the start of school. The County Health Department can help. Families with no insurance, ChildHealth Plus or Medicaid, should call the County Health Department to schedule an appointment for vaccines at no charge. Call 995-5800 to find out if you qualify and to make an appointment for one of the four special Back-to-School clinics:
Friday, Aug. 30, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. in White Plains
Tuesday, Sept. 3, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Yonkers
Saturday, Sept. 7, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Yonkers
Tuesday, Sept. 10, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in White Plains In addition to these special clinics, the Westchester County
Department of Health provides free immunizations by appointment in its White Plains and Yonkers clinics to eligible children and students of all ages who are uninsured or whose insurance does not cover vaccines. Vaccine visits can be scheduled on the first and third Fridays in White Plains or on the second and fourth Fridays in Yonkers, from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Health Department clinics are located at 20 S. Broadway in Yonkers and at 134 Court St. in White Plains. Ask your healthcare provider which vaccines your children need. All 7th and 12th graders must get the meningococcal vaccine, and all students must be vaccinated against whooping cough, measles and mumps. Health Navigators available through the Health Department can help families and individuals sign up for the health insurance they need. Those without a regular doctor can learn where to go for ongoing primary care. For more information, call 995-6350. (Submitted)

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.

Cerebral Palsy of Westchester, CPW, is happy to announce the installation of a mural entitled “No Boundaries” at The Harmony Park Playground and Sensory Garden at CPW’s David G. Osterer Center at 1186 King St. The mural project, organized and executed by Kevin O’Neill, as 2019 Eagle Scout Project for Troup No. 1 of Purchase, was completed in August with the help of many volunteers. The playground, opened this summer, ensures that children and adults with disabilities enjoy activities regardless of the level of their abilities. The mural provides a sense of balance to the park, adding to it a colorful and relaxing element. The artistic skills and ideas for the mural stemmed from O’Neill, a Rye Brook resident and scout, and his illustrator friend Claire Bar-
ry. The completed mural, entitled “No Boundaries,” illustrates how, just as the sky welcomes all balloons, Harmony Park welcomes all individuals, with or without disabilities. It serves as the centerpiece of Harmony Park, inviting all who enter to appreciate its detail and beauty. O’Neill has been a member of Scout Troop No.1 in Purchase since 2015. He has been working toward acquiring the Eagle rank along with one other member of his troop. Eager to give back to his hometown of Rye Brook and aware that his troop had completed projects for CPW in the past, O’Neill met with CPW’s Volunteer and Internship Placement Manager Joan Colangelo. Colangelo proposed that a feasible and beneficial project would be the exterior painting of CPW’s new playground. O’Neill agreed, further suggesting that a mural be painted with a theme mirroring that of the playground. To obtain an Eagle Rank in scouting, O’Neill is required to

plan, develop and give leadership to others in a service project. In this case, the project was benefiting the Rye Brook community, and therefore it was approved by
his scoutmaster, troop committee and district council. O’Neill successfully provided leadership opportunities to others including two scout leaders, three scouts,
six high school students, and six parents/donors. After his project proposal was approved by both CONTINUED on next page

The mural and exterior painting combined took six days and 200-plus man hours to complete. A crucial component of the project which led to its success was funding. Early in the process, O’Neill knew he would need to fundraise for materials such as paint, brushes and sponges, which he did through a letter-writing campaign to family and Friends of Scouting. Celebrating its 70th, CPW provides essential services and programs for children and adults in Westchester and Fairfield counties with all developmental disabilities including autism, neurological impairments, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. The organization’s mission is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with developmental disabilities, dedicated to the principle that all children and adults with disabilities and their family members have a fundamental
right, and deserve every opportunity, to choose and participate in lifestyles that fully integrate them into society to every extent possible. CPW was founded by a dedicated network of volunteers committed to helping children access medical treatments and services that were just becoming available in area hospitals. One volunteer, Martie Osterer, recognized the need for a strong organization with structure and financial stability to support the efforts of its volunteers. Although the original focus was on individuals with cerebral palsy, the mandate has continually expanded to reach children and adults with a variety of developmental disabilities. Today, CPW operates with a professional staff of more than 450 who exhibit the grassroots enthusiasm of its founders. CPW’s David G. Osterer Center in Rye Brook serves as the nucleus of a network of more than a dozen locations throughout Westchester and Fairfield counties. These satellite programs and residential sites have been developed to provide for the ever expanding and changing needs of disabled individuals throughout the community. (Submitted)

testing, with the first collected on July 24, and four people were diagnosed with West Nile Virus. In 2017, the virus was identified in five local mosquito batches out of 380 submitted for testing and three people were diagnosed with West Nile Virus. West Nile Virus infection most often causes a mild or moderate flu-like illness, but can be more serious particularly for people 60 and older, and those with other health complications. To reduce the chances for mosquitoes to breed and bite around your home, watch this brief video on the Department of Health website at http://health. westchestergov.com/west-nilevirus and follow these tips: Avoid the outdoors in the late afternoon and early evening when mosquitoes are active and feeding, and use insect repellents when outdoors during these times. Be sure to follow the instructions on the label. Adults can apply insect repel-
lents with up to 30 percent DEET on infants over two months of age by applying the product to their own hands and then rubbing their hands on their children. Products containing DEET are not recommended for use on children under
two months of age. Wear protective clothing, such as long pants, long-sleeved shirts and socks, when outdoors, especially in areas where mosquitoes are active and feeding. Check around your property for tin cans, plastic containers, ceramic pots or similar
water-holding containers that should be discarded or turned over to prevent collecting water. Check and remove standing water from children’s toys and play houses left outside. Remove discarded tires. Drill holes in the bottoms of all recycling containers that are left outdoors. Turn over plastic wading pools, buckets and wheelbarrows when not in use. Change the water in birdbaths at least twice weekly. Keep storm drains and gutters clear of leaves and debris. Even with the swimming season over, continue to chlorinate swimming pools, outdoor spas and hot tubs until properly winterized or drained for the season. Also, if not chlorinated, drain any water that collects on their covers. Residents who notice large areas of standing water on public property should report them to the Westchester County Department of Health at 813-5000. (Submitted)

Hoff hosts early childhood open house Start the new school year off right by learning all about Hoff-Barthelson Music School’s Early Childhood Program – attend an Open House on Friday, Sept. 6, from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Children ages 6 months to 5 years and their parents are invited to join in the fun of a music and movement class at 10:30 a.m., followed by a brief Q&A with faculty, and a reception during which you can socialize with other families. Weekly classes for preschoolers incorporate exercises and games that involve singing, moving, improvising and using small percussion instruments to promote keen inner hearing and rhythmic sensitivity. Props such as colorful balls, hoops, scarves and puppets animate musical concepts and engage the senses and imagination. Even the very youngest children develop focus, spatial awareness, fine and gross motor skills, social skills and the ability to work with others—all while having fun. Classes are available for parents/caregivers with their children as well as in a “drop-off” format for children who enjoy attending music class independently. Hoff-Barthelson’s Early Child-
hood classes encourage and support the development of children’s minds and bodies through Dalcroze Eurhythmics, a renowned teaching method that pairs music and movement. Hoff-Barthelson is known for one of the largest faculties of Dalcroze trained and certified teachers in the U.S. For families interested in taking the first steps in learning to play an instrument, Piano Together (group piano classes) Little Pipers Recorder Classes, Suzuki Pre-Twinkler for Violin and Beginning Ukulele are hands-on classes for older threes and up. Other offerings include Petite Chorus, an introduction to the world of choral singing and Saturday Songs, a class where children ages 3 and 4 explore musical concepts. These fun, interactive and informative classes are a great way to introduce young children to musical instruction in a social setting with other children of similar ages, and is the perfect first step to private lesson instruction as children get older. “The classes, grouped by age, are dynamic and interactive,” said Laura Barnet, Early Childhood Music Specialist at Hoff-Barth-
elson. “Children love music. It is something that they can participate in at a young age; it fosters their complete development.” A complete listing of available classes and their descriptions can be found at https://hbms.org/ young-children.php. For Additional Information, or to RSVP contact hb@hbms.org, call 723-1169 or log onto hbms.org. Hoff-Barthelson Music School, now celebrating its 75th anniversary, has achieved national recognition as a premier community music school for its unsurpassed leadership in education, performance and community service. With a faculty drawn from the region’s most talented teachers and performers, the school has long been one of Westchester County’s most cherished cultural resources. At Hoff-Barthelson, students find a warm, friendly music school dedicated to the highest standards of education, performance, and community service. Students of all ages, aptitudes, and levels of interest enjoy a supportive, joyful learning environment; a focus on the whole person; exceptional teaching; and a multifaceted curriculum.

Luck runs out LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Sports fans sure have a strange relationship with professional athletes. On one hand, society often venerates sports stars for their athletic prowess, casting them as superheroes with the ability—in cases like LeBron James in Cleveland—of transforming a league or a geographic region with their on-field exploits. On the other hand, sometimes we forget to think of them as people at all. On Saturday night, reports that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck was about to announce his retirement sent the sports world into a tizzy. Understandably, the news was a shock; at just 29 years old, Luck had established himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, and with a solid team around him for the first time in a long time, 2019 seemed like the year in which he
was poised to vault into absolute mega-stardom. The timing of the announcement raised eyebrows as well, with the NFL season set to kickoff on Sept. 5. But no matter how surprising this bombshell may have been, the reaction to it was, by and large, unforgivable. The news of Luck’s retirement broke while the quarterback was still on the sidelines—in street clothes—for a preseason tilt between the Colts and the Bears. As he left the home field, he was showered with boos by supporters of the franchise he had played with for his entire career. He was pilloried on social media by NFL fans calling him “soft,” and he was subsequently torched by media members like FOX Sports analyst Doug Gottlieb and former NFL quarterback Steve Beuerlein. Honestly, the reactions made me sick to my stomach. Forget, for a moment, that Luck proved his toughness many times over during his NFL career. No quarterback has taken more
of a pounding over the course of the last five years, and few would even think about suiting up to play with a lacerated kidney, as Luck famously did in 2015. Simply put, Luck weighed his physical health—both current and future—against the millions of dollars he stood to earn by putting his body on the line each week and came to a sobering decision; it just wasn’t worth it anymore. Once the darling of football fans, Luck immediately became the object of public scorn, simply because he wouldn’t be performing on the field anymore and his entire worth—as a person—was wrapped up in how productive he could be under center. But here’s the thing; as much as we, as fans, hate to hear it, no athlete’s ultimate responsibility should be to his sport or his franchise. His first responsibility should be to his himself, his family and his future. If those two don’t intersect, it doesn’t represent some failing on the athlete’s part. But refusing to accept that

fact is certainly a failing on ours. I’m sure Andrew Luck will land on his feet. He’s a smart guy, he’s young, and if, in a year or two, he decides to come back to
the NFL, it will be on his terms. But no matter what he decides to do with the rest of his life, he certainly taught us a valuable lesson; he doesn’t owe us anything.
And that’s just something we need to accept.

Garnets retooled for run

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor When the 2019 high school field hockey season kicks off next week, the Rye Garnets will be aiming to reassert their spot as one of the top teams in Class B. Just two years removed from a trip to the Section I finals, the
Garnets are looking to the future, with a talented crop of youngsters and a new head coach in Kelly Vegliante leading the way. Vegliante comes into the season with 20 years of coaching experience at the youth, high school and college level with stints at Connecticut powerhouse Darien High School and Division 1 Fair-
field University on her resume. After accepting the Rye position in June, the first-year head coach began to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a program that has had its fair share of turnover in the last several years. “I knew that there were something like four coaches in the past four years, and when I met with

the captains, I felt that these girls were looking for guidance,” Vegliante said. “I knew it was going to be a big change for the girls but they wanted to play, they wanted to get better.” Kate Stevens and Emily Mann will serve as the captains on a youth-laden Garnets team this year, but the head coach explained that each Rye player will be on equal footing when it comes to earning playing time. “The captains have been phenomenal so far, but I said from minute one that it doesn’t matter what your grade is, everyone is starting with a blank slate,” Vegliante said. “All the girls are going through this learning process together and it’s been so encouraging to see 37 girls willing to work so hard.” Despite those promising signs, however, Vegliante cautioned that the Garnets are still very much a work in progress. On Aug. 27, Rye scrimmaged reigning Class A Section I champion Mamaroneck and got a valuable lesson in performing in game situations. “We’ve said that for every two
steps forward, there’s a step back, and with so many younger players, there is a lot of cleanup we have to do,” Vegliante said. “We are still moving players around, trying to find the best dynamic, and we need to work on stick skills and getting the ball to the right person.” The Garnets will scrimmage against other top teams, including Rye Country Day and White Plains, before their regular season campaign opens up on Sept. 5 against Byram Hills. As the Garnets prepare for their opener, Vegliante hopes the team will continue to trust the process as they strive toward making Rye one of the premier Section I programs once again. “I told the girls that my job was to push them further than they thought they could be pushed, I want to run this like a Division I program,” she said. “I want them to learn how to be athletes and confident young women, and so much of what I’ve learned in my life, I’ve learned out on the field.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
