DHS pushes out REAL ID deadline to May 2023 The Department of Homeland Security, DHS, is extending the REAL ID full enforcement date by 19 months, from Oct. 1, 2021 to May 3, 2023, due to circumstances resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has significantly impacted states’ ability to issue REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards, with many driver’s licensing agencies still operating at limited capacity. DHS will publish an interim final rule in the coming days to effectuate this enforcement date change. Beginning May 3, 2023, every air traveler 18 years of age and older will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or identification card, state-issued enhanced driver’s license or another TSA-acceptable form of identification at airport security checkpoints for domestic air travel. All 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and four of five U.S. territories covered by the
REAL ID Act and related regulations are now compliant with REAL ID security standards and are issuing REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards. However, many state licensing agencies have extended the deadline for renewing expiring licenses due to a widespread shift to appointment-only scheduling protocols during the pandemic that has significantly limited states’ capacity to issue REAL ID-compliant driver’s licenses and identification cards. As a result, only 43% of all state-issued driver’s licenses and identification cards are currently REAL ID-compliant. DHS and various states also need time to implement requirements mandated by the REAL ID Modernization Act, including changes that will streamline processing by allowing the electronic submission of certain documents. The REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, enacted the 9/11 Commission’s recommen-

dation that the federal government “set standards for the issuance of sources of identification, such as driver’s licenses.” The Act established minimum-security standards for license issuance and production and prohibits federal agencies from accepting for certain purposes driver’s licenses and identification
cards from states not meeting the minimum standards. DHS continues to work closely with all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to implement REAL ID Act requirements. For more information on REAL ID, visit www.dhs.gov/real-id. (Submitted)
I kicked COVID to the curb! That’s the new campaign Westchester County has launched to encourage Westchester County teens and young adults to get vaccinated for COVID-19. The campaign includes a PSA with New York Knick and Ossining native Obi Toppin and Knick Immanuel “IQ” Quickley. Along with the New York Knicks PSA, the county is also launching an aggressive social media campaign, hosting a youth town hall May 13 to answer questions young people might have about the vaccine and is partnering with local schools, libraries and more to directly get the information in the hands of young people and their parents. “It’s been a long time since I was a teenager, but I remember what it was like,” County Executive George Latimer. “When I was a young man I thought I was invincible, and in some ways you are when you are young, but when it comes to COVID-19 you are not. Get vaccinated. Don’t let anything impact or threaten the very bright future you have ahead of you. It’s a simple, quick shot and it will help protect you and the people you love.” Early on the county’s vaccination efforts were focused on the most vulnerable members of the population—older people and those with severe health issues. Now, the focus is on those 16 to 25 years old. Currently, the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration has authorized the emergency use of a Pfizer vaccine to prevent COVID-19 for people 16 years of age and older. For those 18 year old and older Johnson & Johnson and Moderna are also approved. There is no vaccine approved yet for children under age 16. “The New York Knicks and MSG are proud to work with Westchester County on this important initiative to encourage young people to get a COVID-19 vaccine shot,” said Rich Constable, MSG Sports head of Social Impact. “As the CDC has said, the available COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and will allow all of us to get back to enjoying many of the activities we love—like playing basketball. We encourage everyone who has not yet been vaccinated to get their shot.” To schedule an appointment at Westchester Community College in Valhalla, visit: westchestergov. com/health To schedule an appointment at a New York State operated clinic, visit: covid19vaccine.health. ny.gov To locate clinics, pharmacies and other locations that offer the COVID-19 vaccine, use the Vaccine Finder Tool: vaccinender. org/search For more information, please call the Westchester County Department of Health at 995-7425.

Assembly Delegation rallies for more pre-K funding
New York State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin calls on the state to provide more funding for universal pre-K at an April 29 press conference at the Eastview School in White Plains.
The Westchester and Rockland New York State Assembly Delegation held a press conference on Thursday, April 29 to highlight the inequity in universal pre-K funding. Assemblymembers Amy Paulin, Ken Zebrowski, Gary Pretlow, Sandy Galef, Tom Abinanti, Steve Otis and Chris Burdick, as well as White Plains School Superintendent Dr. Joseph Ricca, Tuckahoe Schools Superintendent Dr. Amy Goodman and Childcare Resources of Rockland County Executive Director Vicki Caramante are calling upon New York State to fully fund universal full-day pre-K for Westchester and Rockland
counties. New York City has been given funding for full day universal pre-K and the rest of the state deserves the same, the delegation said. Currently, New York City receives $300 million annually under the Statewide Universal Full-day Pre-K program. Districts outside of New York City enroll more than half of the public school students throughout the state, yet are only allocated $55 million in annual funding under the same program. High-quality pre-K has significant benefits for children as it provides them with valuable skills to succeed in school and beyond. Studies show that chil-
dren who arrive at kindergarten prepared to learn perform better throughout school and complete more years of education. Public pre-K for three- and four-yearolds also enables parents of young children to return to the workforce. The need to expand access to pre-K has been with us for many years, and the COVID-19 pandemic brings added urgency to this issue. After a year of children experiencing significant disruptions in their routines, economic insecurity, illness and loss, universal pre-K is needed so that all children can be on a path to success in kindergarten and beyond.

NYP Sports Performance Institute helps young athletes Children and teenagers face a variety of challenges to performing their best in sports, but sports performance training at the NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute can help athletes ages 10 to 18 improve their speed, strength and, perhaps most importantly, movement patterns. “Young athletes are heavier than in previous generations and technology affects their posture more,” said Jason Hutchings, AS, BS, XPS, site performance manager at the NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute. “Additionally, instead of playing several sports, many children and teens play one sport yearround, despite the fact that their movement patterns haven’t fully developed yet. They need to build good movement patterns early to prevent injury.” Sports performance training at the NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute helps young athletes do just that in small-group and semi-private sessions. Using EXOS, a training system trusted by professional and amateur ath-
letes in the U.S. and around the world, trainers lead participants through one-hour sessions designed to address common areas of weakness for young athletes, such as joint instability and improper weight-training technique. “We incorporate games that involve movement, which keeps kids engaged and allows the trainers and coaches to analyze their movement patterns,” Hutchings said. “We can see the whole picture while they play—how they’re running, jumping, landing and moving laterally.” In addition to regular training sessions, the NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute also hosts sports performance camps to help young athletes hone speed, strength and movement patterns. Athletes can choose from camps that last a few hours or an entire weekend. “Our training helps athletes develop strength and biomechanics, but it also gives them confidence,” Hutchings said. “There’s a direct correlation between confidence and athletic
performance, and sports performance training empowers kids to realize they can improve.” The NewYork-Presbyterian Sports Performance Institute is located at 693 White Plains Road in Scarsdale, New York. Services are available to people of any athletic skill level and for children as young as age 10. Services include: • Sports medicine and orthopedic surgery expertise provided by Columbia physicians and surgeons practicing at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia • Sports medicine primary care and rehabilitation from NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia sports medicine physicians, who perform diagnostic testing and provide nonsurgical therapies • Sports performance training powered by EXOS, featuring high-intensity group classes, semi-private sessions and one-on-one training • Sports therapy from Columbia physical therapists with specialized training in manual therapy and sports-specif-

Discussion to focus on lesser-known dementia “I didn’t even know how to spell the word ‘Alzheimer’s,’ and I had to learn very quickly what it all entails.” said Eva Roszkowski, Community Engagement Manager for the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter, whose father was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 56, when she was in her early 20s. “I found myself in the position of being a caregiver while also really having some fundamental misunderstandings about what the disease entailed,” she said. Since that time, Roszkowski began working for the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter, where she educates young caregivers and sheds light on the fact that for many millennials, caregiving for someone with dementia is a part of life. She is also staff advisor to the Young Alzheimer’s Professionals Council, YPAC, an auxiliary board of the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter that
consists of millennials committed to creating a world without Alzheimer’s. The group hosts fundraisers and other events to engage Hudson Valley communities in the fight against dementia. On Wednesday, May 12, at 6 p.m., YPAC will host a Rare Dementia Panel Discussion, which will explore the “dementia umbrella,” or the fact that dementia is an umbrella term covering several different illnesses, of which Alzheimer’s is only the most common form. The event will feature four guest speakers: Dr. Jason Cohen, an assistant professor of neurology at Montefiore Medical Center and Albert Einstein College of Medicine; Norma Loeb, a former caregiver and founder of the Lewy Body Dementia Resource Center; Corey Esannason, an ambassador with the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration and yoga educator whose mother was diagnosed with FTD in 2011; and Erica Steiner, a caregiver for her
mother with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease who chronicles her experience online. They will discuss the lesser-known forms of dementia and the misinformation surrounding them before taking participants’ questions in a Q&A session. “Misinformation is rampant,” Cohen said. “When people don’t feel like they have other options, it’s easy to latch onto something.” Loeb explained that more often than not, people showing signs of dementia are misdiagnosed. This can be due to misinformation or lack of information about rare dementias, she said. Her own mother was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia in 2001, and she said it took 3.5 years to get an accurate diagnosis. Cohen noted an accurate diagnosis is essential in creating an accurate treatment plan.“We can use what we know to make better decisions,” he said. Cohen added that the challenge is so great that even people with ample resources, such as actor Robin Williams, may be misdiagnosed. “Robin Williams died essen-
tially from dementia with Lewy bodies. He didn’t have the diagnosis until pretty late on, and this is not someone who didn’t have access to doctors and all sorts of resources. If [he] had known about it, maybe he would have gotten better treatment and still be here,” Cohen said. Roszkowski said the event will be a great opportunity for anyone who has noticed cognitive or behavioral changes in their loved ones to become better informed. “The Rare Dementia Panel Discussion will be a really good time for people of all ages to hear about the other possibilities,” Roszkowski said, adding she hopes
the discussion will combat widespread misinformation by “opening people’s minds and encouraging them to get even more educated on this topic.” Loeb said she hopes the event will prove helpful to attendees on multiple levels. “By participating in the Rare Dementia Panel Discussion, I hope to bring awareness to the disease and provide people with an outlet for support so they know there is a place they can go to for help,” she said.

After a year of research, the piece was authenticated as an official work by Auguste Rodin. Mortillaro will share the story of how a simple art cataloging project evolved into a search for a mysterious piece’s provenance, and became one of the biggest art finds in recent history. Mortillaro holds a BA and MAT, both from Drew University. She balances her work as an Art Historian with teaching 7th grade English. She lives in Whippany, New Jersey with her husband.

Beginning in the mid-1950’s, rock music found a surprising home on mainstream television. Programs hosted by Milton Berle, Steve Allen and especially Ed Sullivan featured a wide variety of musicians including Bill Haley & the Comets, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly and especially Elvis Presley, who appeared on all three shows to galvanic response. Afternoon dance programs like “American Bandstand” played a role as well in bringing rock to large and eager teenage audiences. The appearance of The Beatles on “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1964 would change the face of pop culture, leading to an explosion of televised rock, from The Supremes to The Rolling Stones, for the rest of the decade. This program will present a lively survey of the fascinating history of how rock and television grew up together. Presented by Brian Rose, professor emeritus at Fordham University, where he taught for 38 years in the Department of Communication and Media Studies. He’s written several books on television history and cultural programming, and conducted more than a hundred Q&A’s with leading directors, actors and writers for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, the Screen Actors Guild, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and the Directors Guild of America.

By using imagery and examples, students can recreate a small part of their life for the admissions officer.

Bicycle Sundays are a beloved Westchester tradition since 1974. More than 60,000 participants each year bike, walk and jog a 13.1-mile loop of the Bronx River Parkway from White Plains to Yonkers.

Obituary
Loretta Albanese Loretta Albanese, a former Eastchester resident, died on April 24, 2021 in Sarasota, Florida. Loretta was born on her parent’s onion farm in Warwick, New York, on May 19, 1920. She was a registered nurse at Fordham Hospital during World War II and in 1951, she married John Albanese of Eastchester. Together the couple owned and operated Albanese’s Italian Restaurant in Waverly Square, for more than 30 years. John passed away in 1991. Loretta celebrated her 100th birthday with a large driveby car parade of local friends and family. It was featured on the local news station. She and her daughter also appeared on “Good Morning America,” demonstrating a virtual reality system to ease the isolation of those residing in assisted living facilities during the pandemic. Loretta loved her large extended family and many friends. She was a natural teacher, loved read-
ing, cooking, golf, excelled at games and entertaining. Her sisters, Helen, Elizabeth, Stella, Anastasia and brother Frank preceded her in death. She is survived by her daughter Beverly Albanese-Clark and son-in-law Richard Clark of Sarasota, Florida. She will be interred at Holy Mount Cemetery in Eastchester. (Submitted)
Wear it! June and September to join the traffic-free route. WPF is excited to be part of an event that so many residents of Westchester County, and beyond, look forward to each year. Since 2012, this program has been funded solely by Westchester Parks Foundation and our partners. No public funding goes towards keeping this program going. Without WPF and our partners, the future of Bicycle Sundays is not guaranteed. 2021 Bicycle Sunday Dates: 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 2, 9, 16, 23 June 6, 13, 20, 27 July 11, 18, 25 Aug. 1, 8, 15, 22, 29 Sept. 12, 19, 26 Oct. 3, 17, 24, 31 During Bicycle Sundays, the parkway is open exclusively for bicyclists, in-line skaters,
scooters, walkers and joggers. The course will be slightly modified this year, beginning at Main Street in White Plains (instead of Westchester County Center) and continue south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers. The road is closed to automobiles in that stretch of parkway. Admission is free. There are numerous points of entry along the route. Although parking will be available in the Westchester County Center east parking lot, participants will follow signs and directions to enter the route at Main Street once they exit their cars.

Flavors of diversity Food, culture and the missing ingredient in nutrition therapy You are what you eat. And what you eat is a reflection of who you are — your family, your history, your traditions. But for many people who need guidance on eating, finding an expert with a common background can be a challenge. Most dietitians — 81% of them according to the credentialing agency for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics — are white. Nearly 94% are women. That lack of diversity is a problem, said Deanna Belleny Lewis, a registered dietitian nutritionist and public health practitioner in Hartford, Connecticut. “Food is very much a part of culture, and you can’t really take the culture out of food — you shouldn’t at least,” said Belleny Lewis, co-founder of the nonprofit group Diversify Dietetics. “We think we just need more dietitians who can relate to the diverse clients and the diverse communities that we serve.” The academic world tends to take a Eurocentric approach to nutrition, she said. The problem is slowly being acknowledged at high levels. The latest federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans acknowledge that a healthy diet should “reflect personal preferences, cultural traditions and budgetary considerations.” A 2019 report from the American Diabetes Association said that a “one-size-fits-all” approach to nutrition therapy is unrealistic. But dietitians, who can play a crucial role in teaching healthy habits, often take just such an approach.
Ka Hei Karen Lau is a registered dietitian and certified diabetes care and education specialist at the Joslin Diabetes Center’s Asian American Diabetes Initiative in Boston. Most of her patients come from a Chinese background. Many arrive from other clinics with a common complaint: “They don’t understand the food that I’m eating.” For example, rice. Textbook advice, Lau said, frowns on white rice, and people often are counseled to avoid it. But “that’s a big thing in our culture,” said Lau, who is originally from Hong Kong. Rice is woven into the language: People greet one another by asking, “Have you had rice yet?” So the idea of giving it up sounds laughable. But Lau’s shared background helps her say, “Hey, we can respect tradition, we can respect the culture and work around it.” Instead of counseling someone to abandon rice, she might suggest using whole-grain rice, trying smaller portions, or balancing it with vegetables and proteins. Whitney Brooks, a registered dietitian nutritionist from the Seneca Nation in western New York, said dietitians who lack cultural awareness also can overlook the deep, systemic roots of problems. Native Americans have the highest diabetes rates among racial and ethnic groups in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dietetics textbooks emphasize individual choice and eating less, but Brooks said “a lot of those things
“Food is very much a part of culture, and you can’t really take the culture out of food — you shouldn’t at least. We think we just need more dietitians who can relate to the diverse clients and the diverse communities that we serve.” Deanna Belleny Lewis, co-founder of Diversify Dietetics
don’t apply when you don’t understand the historical trauma. There’s no getting around that in the Native population.” When driven from their land, Indigenous people lost more than territory. Traditional foods were replaced with government rations, which included processed white flour, oil and salt pork. “That puts the historical context on the high rates of diabetes that Native commu-
nities face,” she said. “It’s not just, ‘Oh, we’re choosing badly for ourselves.’ We’re coming from a place where we had no choice. It was survival.” She and Belleny Lewis both said colleges should improve at recruiting dietitians from diverse backgrounds. Brooks, whose path to a degree took a decade, said she was championed and mentored by people who saw her worth when
traditional professors did not. To help change the system in the short term, they said, health care professionals can practice “cultural humility.” The concept emphasizes a patient’s perspective, Belleny Lewis said, and requires constant self-reflection and self-awareness by the clinician. It takes courage to unlearn biases, Lau said. It also can
be fun. Lau’s clinic focuses on Asian Americans, but that gives her many countries, cultures and nuances to explore. So she educates herself by reading and by trying unfamiliar restaurants. “I have friends in all those different cultures,” and she’s “shameless” about asking them about their choices. “I’m still learning,” Lau said. “I think everyone is still learning.”

New York’s true team LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Who would have thought, it’s May and people in New York are talking about the Knicks. And not talking about the Knicks in the typical “team fires coach after 16-win season,” way or even the “James Dolan bans Bernard King from Madison Square Garden.” They’re talking about the Knicks because—dare I say it— they might be the most entertaining team in the city. I know. I can’t believe it either. Not only because the Knicks share a sport with a Brooklyn team that is replete with mega stars or because the organization has basically been a dumpster fire for the majority of my adult life, I’m most amazed at this development because I never thought I would be ready to believe in the Knicks with James Dolan still running the franchise. And yet, here we are. It’s often been said that, despite the area’s love for the Giants and
the Yankees, New York was—at its core—a basketball town. It was a nice sentiment, but one that I felt was caked in nostalgia; a love for a time when Red Holzman’s teams took the court at the Garden in grainy, sepia-toned flashbacks. New York loves to romanticize its past, so the legend of those late 60s-early 70s teams is as much a part of our city’s cultural DNA as the Murderer’s Row Yankees. But was New York’s love for the Knicks real? It’s been tough to tell in the last 20-or-so years. Sure, there have been flashes of “Knicksmania,” like the early days of Amar’e Stoudemire’s tenure or the winter we all dealt with a case of temporary Linsanity; but these weren’t sustainable love affairs. Derailed by injuries and mismanagement, the Knicks always seemed to turn back into a pumpkin just as the town got behind them. Knicks fans my age, for example, worshiped the Patrick Ewing/John Starks teams, which were ultimately defined by their failure to beat Jordan—and later
the Rockets. So what’s different now? Time will tell, but it’s been a heck of a ride so far. A team chock-full of castoffs and reclamation projects led by an unlikely star in Julius Randle, and dedicated to the defensive tenacity preached by its stubborn and often abrasive head coach? That’s every Knicks fan’s platonic ideal of a basketball team that represents his idea of the city. New York has long prided itself— rightly or wrongly—in being a gritty blue-collar town, and this team seems to embody all of the qualities we look for in our stars. We don’t know how far the Knicks will go this year, but it’s certainly been a pleasure watching them. I can’t speak for one fan who actually believes they have a shot to win the Eastern Conference, but right now, it doesn’t even matter. Basketball is back in the Garden. And I’m just happy to be along for the ride.

Game Notes: • Alex Titto & Owen Blume scored 5 goals apiece • This was Eastchester’s 1st win of the season • The Eagles will play Magnus again on 5/10
By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor For a group with as little varsity experience as Eastchester’s lacrosse team, every game is a learning experience. On May 3, the young Eagles squad found themselves in unfamiliar territory, protecting a late lead against Albertus Magnus. But despite their lack of seasoning, the Eagles held up under pressure, outlasting the Falcons 14-9 to pick up their first win of the year. Coming into Monday’s game, the Eagles had dropped two games to bigger schools in Scarsdale and New Rochelle, and head coach Octavio Bernabo admitted that the team had not yet been in position to close out a win, leading to some late-game struggles in the offensive zone. “Every outing, every practice, our guys are learning new things and you saw that with them having to keep it under the box with two minutes to go,” Bernabo said. “But it’s definitely encouraging to see them get their first win even if we still have a lot of growth to get through.” Even if the Eagles’ clock-killing game still needs some work, the win over Magnus was a huge leap for the team’s offense. After being held to single-digit point totals against the Huguenots and Raiders, Eastchester erupted for 14 goals on Monday, led by youngsters Alex Titto and Owen Blume who each netted five. Bernabo was especially pleased with the way his Eagles managed to stop potential Falcons runs and maintain momentum, something he believes
speaks to the mental toughness of the team. “I think it speaks to the mentality of the guys that are on this team,” he said. “We got beat up pretty bad by New Ro and Scarsdale, but their mindset is that you have to keep continuing to build off every opportunity we get.” At 1-2 on the year, the Eagles will face a stiff test this week as they prepare to take on largeschool White Plains on May 5, after press time. But with a winnable game on the horizon against Ardsley—the Panthers fell to White Plains 12-2 on Saturday—and a rematch with Magnus set for May 10, it is possible that Eastchester could find itself at .500 next week. “It’s tough to know exactly where you’re at as a team with all the craziness surrounding this year,” Bernabo said. “But this is a group of guys that is enthusiastic about lacrosse and growing this program.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
