Mosquitoes with West Nile found in Westchester
American Cancer Society kicked off Making Strides Against Breast Cancer in August with hundreds of volunteers, supporters, guests speaking about their breast cancer diagnosis, survivorship and involvement in the area’s leading breast cancer walk. For more, see page 6. Contributed photo
The Westchester County Health Department announced that this season’s first batch of mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus in Westchester was identified in Mamaroneck.
Eastchester to provide Resource Officers to local schools The Eastchester town board has voted to approve funding for a School Resource Officer in the Eastchester and Tuckahoe school districts. The officers will be assigned to the schools for the entire school year and work on a daily basis whenever school is in session. The officer will be responsible to provide safety and securi-
ty as well as maintain order in and around the school sites. The town entered into a threeyear Inter-Municipal Agreement, IMA, with both school districts detailing duties and responsibilities for both parties. The officer will be present at the school whenever school is in session. The officer will resume his/her duties in the Patrol
Division when school is not in session. Eastchester Town Supervisor Anthony Colavita was very pleased that the agreement has been signed and approved. “There has been a great deal of support for the S.R.O. Program,” Colavita said. “We budgeted for two additional officers who will backfill the shifts
of the more experienced SRO’s who will be on each campus. The School Boards of Trustees worked closely with my office and the Police Department to make this a reality. Having a uniformed armed officer at the schools is a strong security measure and is indicative of the Town’s commitment of safety for our students.” (Submitted)
The Westchester County Health Department announced that this season’s first batch of mosquitoes carrying West Nile Virus in Westchester was identified in Mamaroneck. The area surrounding the positive mosquito batches was inspected by the Health Department, which has treated nearby catch basins to protect against further mosquito breeding nearby. Westchester County Executive George Latimer recommended residents follow the Health Department’s West Nile Virus prevention advice to avoid mosquito bites. “We can keep mosquitoes from breeding and biting us in our own backyards if we pour out standing water after it rains and remove or turn over wheelbarrows, flower pot drip trays and any toy pails or watering cans,” Latimer said. To date, this is the first positive test out of 195 batches of mosquitoes collected in Westchester that were tested for West Nile Virus by the New York State Department of Health. Last year, the first positive batch was collected in Westchester on July 24. Statewide, the state Health Department had identified 361 positive mosquito batches as of Aug. 30, including 266 in New York City. “To protect yourself and your family when you spend time out-
doors, use repellents, especially from dawn to dusk, when mosquitoes are most active,” Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler said. The Health Department prepared for the mosquito season by educating the public through news releases, flyers, social media and our website, where a report on mosquito control and surveillance can be found on the West Nile Virus page. 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, West Nile Virus was identified in 10 local mosquito batches out of 393 submitted for testing and four people were diagnosed with West Nile Virus. In 2017, West Nile 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 WEST NILE continued on page 14

Latimer urges preparation during hurricane season
Westchester County Executive George Latimer urges residents to review their emergency plans and obtain critical supplies ahead of time in case any severe weather strikes Westchester during hurricane season. County emergency responders advise residents to have several days’ worth of food, water, medicine and other critical supplies like flashlights and batteries on hand.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer urges residents to review their emergency plans and obtain critical supplies ahead of time in case any severe weather strikes Westchester during hurricane season. “Now is the time to assemble the essential items that you would need at home if a major storm hits and causes flooding or power outages,” Latimer said. “These items can quickly disappear from store shelves when a storm is looming or has just occurred.” County emergency responders advise residents to have several days’ worth of food, water, medicine and other critical supplies like flashlights and batteries on hand. Charge all cell phones, power banks and external chargers in case of a loss of power. Prepare a “go-bag” to take on short notice during an emergency, have some cash available and keep all vehicle fuel tanks full. “In recent years, severe storms have caused significant property damage and extended power outages in Westchester,” Latimer said. “We don’t know what Mother Nature has in store for us this hurricane season so hope for the best but plan for the worst.” Always assume that fallen power lines or damaged electrical equipment are live and, if encountered, immediately call 911. Do not touch a downed line or anyone in contact with the line. To report an electrical outage to Con Edison, call 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-752-6633). Those with NYSEG should call 1-800-5721131 for electric outages or 1-800-572-1121 for gas.
Department of Emergency Services Commissioner John M. Cullen recommends that residents create a disaster preparedness kit that includes: one gallon of water per person per day; a three-day supply of canned, packaged or other foods that do not need refrigeration or need to be cooked, a manual can opener, flashlights, batteries, first aid kit, and a battery-powered or hand-crank radio. Foods that can be stored include ready-to-eat canned meats and fish, protein or fruit bars, dry cereal, granola, peanut butter, nuts, crackers and canned fruit juice. Cullen added that residents should create a plan ahead of time for any family members with special needs, those who are frail or elderly, infants as well as pets. Family members also should plan for how they will communicate if local phone service is not available or is overwhelmed by high demand. • Dr. Sherlita Amler, commissioner of the Department of Health, also noted that food and generator safety are essential during any power outage or emergency. If you lose power, here’s how to feed your family safely: • Keep your refrigerator closed as much as possible. Do not assume refrigerated foods are safe. If food is still fully frozen, it is safe to use. • Foods that have warmed to room temperature for more than two hours or have come into contact with flood waters should be discarded. When in doubt, throw it out. • After disposing of spoiled
food, disinfect the refrigerator to avoid further contamination. • Discard any cans of food that are rusted, dented or opened. • If appliances are wet, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box or circuit breaker. Then, unplug appliances and let them dry out. Have appliances checked by a professional before using them again. • Storm clean-up can produce a great deal of garbage, which invites insects and rodents. Store your garbage in watertight, rodent/insect-proof containers with tight-fitting covers. Residents and business owners with generators or oil tanks should follow these safety tips: • Never run a generator in a basement, garage, porch or carport. Generators produce carbon monoxide that can quickly be lethal indoors. Only operate a generator outdoors and away from open windows. • Do not exceed the rated capacity of your generator. Overloading your generator can damage it and any appliances connected to it. Fire may result. • If your generator has a detachable fuel tank, remove it before refilling. If this is not possible, shut off the generator and let it cool before refilling. • Residents with oil tanks should top off their tanks and tighten the cap to prevent spills. Above-ground tanks should also be strapped to a secure fixture to prevent tipping in case of flooding. Practical tips on these and other topics can be found at keepingsafe.westchestergov.com/be-prepared and ready.gov. (Submitted)

County/state, locals to announce Youth Bureau funding In an effort to improve the physical, social and emotional health outcomes for youth living in Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Peekskill, White Plains and Yonkers, County Executive George Latimer joined with Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, local mayors and other key stakeholders, to announce $225,000 in funding to expand the Westchester County Youth Bureau, WCYB, Sexual Risk Avoidance Education Program, SRAEP. SRAEP is designed to reduce risky behaviors such as engaging in harmful relationships, alcohol, tobacco and drug use, as well as unsafe sexual practices that may be prevalent among teens. “To be able to target money where it is most needed is really essential,” Latimer said. “Not just to target money for the sake of spending money, but for programs that we think will help youth with at-risk behaviors get in the best positive light, and the best positive path going forward.” Senate Majority Leader Andrea
Stewart-Cousins said, “When we talk about government, who government is supposed to work for and what government is supposed to do, we understand that we have to make sure we are taking care of our most vulnerable populations. We’ve got to look at our youth, and we’ve got to make sure that not only their lives are better now, but that we’re preparing them for the future. And I think we can all agree that their education is essential, and that is what this grant is all about.” The SRAEP Program was scheduled to close after being funded for only one year through a competitive federal grant, however the Westchester County Youth Bureaus and its partners sought opportunities through state government to maintain and now, expand the program to serve 200 youth annually. The WCYB will partner with the Mount Vernon Youth Bureau, the Nepperhan Community Center in Yonkers, the New Rochelle Youth Bureau, the Peekskill Youth Bureau and the White Plains Youth Bureau
to operate its SRAEP in each of the targeted cities, which will ultimately increase the likelihood of those youth achieving safe, healthy lifestyles. “By targeting the communities of Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Peekskill, White Plains and Yonkers, each Youth Bureau and the Nepperhan Community Center will contribute to the state and Countywide efforts of reducing wide racial, ethnic, economic and geographic disparities and promoting health equity across vulnerable populations,”said Dr. DaMia Harris-Madden, director of the county Youth Bureau. New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson, “We all have a stake in young people making good choices. Our communities are only going to achieve their full potential when all of the young people within them have the opportunity to be their best. I don’t view this as resources simply directed to one vulnerable subset, I think of this as an investment in the lives of our communities that we share together.” (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.

Making Strides walks
The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks will occur on Sunday, Oct. 20, at Manhattanville College in Westchester and at Woodbury Commons Premium Outlets in the Lower Hudson Valley, uniting communities to honor those touched by the disease and raise awareness and funds for a world without breast cancer. Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is the largest network of breast cancer awareness events in the nation. The noncompetitive, inspirational event raises awareness and funds to end breast cancer and provide hope to ensure no one faces breast cancer alone. Dollars raised help the American Cancer Society, ACS, fund innovative breast cancer research; provide education and guidance to help people reduce their risk; and offer comprehensive patient support to those who need it most. In 2018, ACS staff helped guide more than 34,000 cancer patients through every step of their journey as they moved through the health care system, including helping with insurance problems, referring them to ACS and other local services, assisting caregivers and addressing obstacles to care, according to Mark Gallego, senior manager for the American Cancer Society in Lower Hudson Valley region. “Because of the determination of Making Strides supporters, the American Cancer Society is there for people in every com-
munity affected by breast cancer, whether they’re currently dealing with a diagnosis, may face one in the future, or will avoid it altogether because of education and risk reduction,” he said. Dollars raised help the ACS fund innovative breast cancer research; provide education and guidance to help people reduce their risk; and offer comprehensive patient support to those who need it most. This year, 17,490 women in New York will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 2,460 residents will succumb to the disease. “At our Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walks the communities embrace a bittersweet mix of purpose—celebrating survivorship and paying meaningful tributes to loved ones lost. From research to education, prevention to diagnosis and treatment to recovery, we provide support to everyone impacted by breast cancer,” said Patti Mack, ACS communications director.

nity experience.” He adds: “Hundreds of volunteers... give back to their community and enrich the free programming available to the public, only as a result of the money raised by AOAS.” How fitting that the Armonk Outdoor Art Show takes place in Community Park. For more info, visit armonkoutdoorartshow.org. -Mary Alice Franklin
Small town show, big-time impact In the tree-lined park of a small American town, nearly 10,000 people—families, art collectors and first-time homeowners, to name a few—will peruse the work of artists from around the globe. This happens for the 58th year in Armonk on Sept. 21-22. The Armonk Outdoor Art Show, AOAS, showcases a selection of 185 juried artists in an outdoor display of works. A mix of media will be offered, from metal sculptures and embroidered paintings to photography and handcrafted instruments. In fact, this carefully selected roster has contributed to AOAS placing number-two in the nation by Sunshine Artist Magazine, which ranks Fine Art and Design Shows by revenue. This is a big feat for a show that is in a town the size of Armonk, which has a population of less than 5,000. The other shows ranking in the top 10 are significantly larger locales and venues. The next largest is in Winter Park, Florida, with a population of nearly 31,000—more than six times the size of Armonk. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that AOAS has held onto this ranking for the second year in a row. With a jury of artists and art collectors who have their finger on tl1e pulse of the art world, the list of exhibiting artists remains fresh year after year, and reflects current trends in the broader art world. Exhibiting artists hail from Canada, Israel and 26 states—but also Westchester County, like contemporary artist Evan Lorberbaum, who grew up in Armonk. His work takes inspiration from graffiti and abstract impressionism. Executive Director Anne Curran ex-plains: “We want to appeal to a large audience, but also a young audience coming to us for the first time. It’s important to have contemporary and cutting-edge works and artists.” For all of its big-name glory, the AOAS folds its efforts back into its community, with which it has a love-love relationship. The show is run entirely by more than 200 local volunteers who make the show possible each year. While AOAS is all about the art, built around it is a community event. Arts activities from Neuberger Museum of Art, Clay Art Center and ArtsWestchester’s ArtsMobile encourage participation from members of all ages. In addition, net proceeds from the show feed back into the community by funding programs and upgrades at the North Castle Public library. Proceeds also help to fund the Library’s Whippoorwill Theater, where productions of Armonk Players and Hudson Stage Company are presented. According to North Castle Super-visor Michael Schiliro, “AOAS draws people from all over the Northeast and beyond to appreciate the unique and talented artists that exhibit enjoy the delicious food, and be part of the greater commu-
Grants program doubles donations to arts orgs. Through the Art$WChallenge grant program, private donations will nurture cultural opportunities and experiences in all corners of Westchester County. From Sept. 16-Dec. 16, every new dollar donated to 62 eligible arts groups will count twice—they will be matched by ArtsWestchester with support from the Westchester County government (up to $5,000 each while funds are available). “The Art$WChallenge is a successful public/private program that pays dividends for the economy,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “Since the inception of the Art$WChallenge, an additional $3.6 million in private funds have been raised for arts and culture in Westchester.” In all, ArtsWestchester seeks to raise an additional $500,000 this year to support arts and cultural organizations throughout Westchester. This is money well spent, as a recent study by Americans for the Arts found that arts and culture adds $172.3 million in total economic activity to Westchester County and delivers $25.8 million in local and state government revenue. Arts programs that are supported by these donations inspire creativity, self-confidence and conversation throughout Westchester. “Westchester has a stellar galaxy of arts and cultural venues from world-class cultural destinations to ‘happening’ community events,” ArtsWestchester CEO Janet Langsam adds. “The Art$WChallenge is an opportunity to support these vital cultural organizations and double your gift with a match from ArtsWestchester.” Individuals and businesses are encouraged to take part in the Art$WChallenge by donating to organizations that are eligible for the matching funds. Eligibility is open to groups that were awarded funding in ArtsWestchester’s Basic Support and Project Support grant categories during the past

seemed to end in the middle of the landscape. Gould’s daughter Helen extended that path to a bowling alley that she installed in 1894. It is one of Zar’s restoration achievements. “Taking a stroll and casting your eyes away from a computer screen sounds utterly marvelous to me,” said Zar who, as executive director oversees one of the most prized historic houses in this country. Lyndhurst’s landscape design was the masterpiece of architect A.J. Davis, the Frank Lloyd Wright of the 19th century, and Zar is utilizing his savvy in marketing, fundraising, finance and art history to bring dynamic, multi-disciplinary leadership to this significant gem. What makes him able to tackle the many challenges of Lyndhurst are some of his own hidden treasures—an MBA from the Yale School of Management and an M.A. from the Institute of Fine Arts, not to mention a B.A. cum laude from Princeton University. You can visit Lyndhurst and be in the picture. Just bring your cell phone and the $5 parking fee. For more info on Lyndhurst, visit lyndhurst.org. -Janet Langsam
The art of strolling in a picturesque past There is a difference between walking and strolling. Ask Howard Zar, who presides over Lyndhurst Mansion, the 67-acre Gothic Revival estate of the late railroad tycoon Jay Gould. Simply writ, walking is how you get from one place to another. However, strolling is what you did on a summer’s day in the 19th century, wearing your best frock, all gussied up, posing with a certain air and cadence, gliding with perfect aplomb around the grounds of the estate overlooking the Hudson River. Zar has recreated this leisurely ritual by rebuilding the winding concrete paths that started at the veranda and curved in and out of the greenery to the Hudson River. The paths, built of cement in the 1860s, were first introduced by George Merritt, the second owner of the mansion. The series of sidewalks were informal, irregular, and more like a park than a country retreat. They were modeled somewhat a la Central Park, with decorative stone benches and perches upon which to be photographed. That these paths were made of cement led to confusion, whereby they were sadly removed in the 1970s, as they were mistaken for a modern addition. As the director, curator, restorer and champion of Lyndhurst, Zar understood what these early owners were doing to romantically create a “picturesque” setting. “They were creating a painting,” he said. “It’s a painting, and as a guest you may be in it.” In other words, this elegant pastime might have been the selfie of its era. The task of putting back the cement paths was aided by a state grant and a bit of luck. When they dug down, they found the original cobblestone layer that had been under the cement, laid out for them like a blueprint. The rocks that had lined the old rockeries ware still there; they were just covered in weeds. The trees and shrubs that had seemed to be scattered throughout the landscape now made sense, as they lined the original paths. There was one cement path that wasn’t ripped out, but
Must-see public art: Pelham Visitors of Pelham may notice brightly colored yarn intertwined with trees as they stroll through Wolfs Lane Park (WLP). Since its launch in 2012, Pelham Art Center (PAC)’s public art program has expanded from its courtyard to WLP, and now vine-like plastic sculptures can be found dispersed throughout both locations. One of the objectives of the program is to celebrate nature through art by demonstrating a priority for the environment. PAC Communications Manager Michelle Costanza explains that the installations are meant to inspire colorful but reflective moments, when audiences “can appreciate nature and think about what art adds to the conversation about issues like protecting the environment.” For instance, in Reclaimed, sculptor Niki Lederer shapes discarded plastic bottles, which she reassembles into playful, large-scale structures that are scattered around PAC and WLP. Lederer demonstrates the ineffective- ness of mass consumption and waste disposal by encouraging viewers to observe the beauty of the discarded bottles. Artist Melissa Maddoni Haims incorporates knitted and crocheted yarn with recycled textile materials to create Yarn Bombing, an installation that wraps around the Park’s trees. Through her work. Haims invites audiences to experience nature and art as
they walk around the park. These site-specific installations are on view through October 30. Both artists will lead arts activities at PAC during the New Rochelle and Pelham ArtsFest on October 5. For more info, visit pelhamartcenter.org. -Rocio de la Roca
The meeting of generations: An interview with Emmet Cohen From Sept. 11-15, several generations of jazz musicians, from those in their twenties to their nineties, will offer rhythms and beats from all corners of the globe. JazzFest White Plains will present 20-plus jazz-infused performances at more than a dozen locations during this celebration of the musical genre, including influences from Chile, Colombia, Africa, Cuba and more. On Sept. 14, preeminent artist Emmet Cohen will perform with jazz legends Jimmy Cobb and George Coleman during a meeting-of-the-generations concert at White Plains Performing Arts Center. In anticipation of the show, JazzFest White Plains Artistic Director Aaron Paige interviewed Cohen about his influences and intergenerational collaborations. Paige: One of the most striking things about your career is your ongoing collaborative work with legacy artists of the older generation. How did establish these kinds of intergenerational projects? Cohen: I got a gig with the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All Star Band for New Year’s Eve 2013. Riding a bus there, I sat across from Jimmy Heath, who played tenor in the original Dizzy Band. The whole way, he was telling stories… about [playing with] his favorite musicians. I had just graduated from the University of Miami… but sitting there on the bus, I was learning the kinds of things you won’t ever learn at a jazz school: the legacy… It was then I realized there was a great disparity between the elder generation of jazz masters and the young generation of serious jazz musicians. So I decided to create the Masters Legacy Series—a series of recordings, live performances and interviews with jazz masters. I reached out to Jimmy Cobb, asking him to make the first record, and he became a mentor right off the bat. I learned so much putting that recording together… and have since played with [a number of other legends]… They are all so different in their own way. They all have their own life lessons to impart, and their own unique outlook on what is important in life... Every time I am with them I learn something. You learn the feeling of the music…that which is unspoken and unsaid and impossible to teach. Paige: Will your performance at the WhitPlains
Performing Arts Center on Sept. 14 be the first time you are working with both Jimmy Cobb and George Coleman? Cohen: They’ve played together over the years, but this will be my first experience playing with both of them at the same time… The ultimate challenge will be to explore and fit into both of their vibes while also remaining true to myself… This is an once-in-a-lifetime snapshot performance. That’s what jazz is all about… Every performance is a completely new experience… everyone is improvising and expressing themselves in the moment, within the context of a solo, song, set, night. Each performance is different 100% of the time. It is this very thing that inspires musicians to play until they can’t play anymore… Jazz masters, they don’t retire. Most people work in order to retire, and then enjoy themselves after. But jazz musicians need to keep playing to feed their mind, their body and their soul. When you hear a jazz master at 90 years old playing their instrument, their whole life comes through, and the problems and everything else get shaved away.

WEST NILE from page 1
flu-like illness, but can be more serious particularly for people 60 and older, and those with other health complications. Four residents were diagnosed with West Nile Virus in 2018 and three in 2017, and all recovered. To reduce the chances for mosquitoes to breed and bite around your home, follow these tips: • Avoid the outdoors in the late afternoon and early evening when mosquitoes are active and feeding; use insect repellents when outdoors during these times and follow the label instructions. • To protect infants over two months of age, adults can apply
insect repellents with up to 30 percent DEET to their own hands and then rub it onto their children. Products containing DEET are not recommended for use on children under two months of age. • Wear long pants, longsleeved shirts and socks when outdoors, especially in areas where mosquitoes are active and feeding. • Discard or turn over cans, plastic containers and ceramic pots outside your home to avoid accumulating water. • Remove standing water from outdoor toys and play houses. • 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. • 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)
