Westchester condemns Rockland County attack Members of the Westchester County Board of Legislators deplore the attack on Saturday, Dec. 28 at the home of Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg in Monsey and offer strong support to the victims, their families and Congregation Netzach Yisroel. Grafton Thomas, 37, was arraigned on Dec. 29 and pleaded not guilty to five counts of attempted murder and one count of burglary for the attack in Monsey, New York. “Westchester County stands with the people of Rockland County and condemns the horrific act of violence last night in Monsey,” said County Executive George Latimer. “This is a very holy time of the year, one where we must come together and protect and support our neighbors. We pray for the victims and pray that unity and tolerance prevails.” Latimer has since directed the Westchester County Police Patrol Units to conduct additional inspections of synagogues and any other Jewish facilities within the county’s jurisdiction. “If any

are occupied, we are having our officers stop in to reassure that we are here to protect them,” he added. County Board of Legislators Chairman Ben Boykin said, “While we wait for all the facts to be investigated, we do not hesitate to categorically condemn all acts of violence, hatred and bigotry wherever and whenever they occur. But we need to do more than offer our condemnation after the fact. We must work proactively and with vigilance to protect one another and to combat the rising tide of violence and intolerance plaguing our nation and the world. Majority Leader Catherine Parker has said that she has reached out to… “our Chair of Legislation to ensure that we will take up discussion to investigate strengthening our definitions of hate crimes and hate incidents as New York City has done, as soon as our new term begins.” (Submitted)

County Health Department awarded state grant ment will receive the maximum award of $87,095 for exceeding expectations in reporting by its Immunization Action Program and Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program. Through outreach, follow-up and office visits with pediatric practices, the Immunization Action Program works to increase childhood immunization rates countywide, and to assure that healthcare providers administer the recommended vaccines in a timely fashion and record them in a state immunization registry. In pursuit of the program’s goals, a nurse visited more than 100 pediatric and family practitioners to share best practices

during the year. The goal of the Perinatal Hepatitis B Prevention Program is to prevent the transmission of hepatitis B from an infected mother to her child during childbirth. Efforts include outreach to healthcare providers and to pregnant women with Hepatitis B. The purpose is to assure that these newborns receive post-exposure treatment immediately after birth as well as two or more vaccines by the time they reach six months of age, to protect the child from hepatitis B. After assessing the pregnancy status of about 700 women with Hepatitis B each year, the program tracks an average of 50 pregnant wom-

en and their newborns each year to prevent Hepatitis B transmission. Newborns infected with hepatitis B have a 90 percent chance of developing lifelong infection. Currently, there is no cure for hepatitis B, but completing the hepatitis B vaccine series provides more than a 95 percent chance of lifelong protection. Hepatitis B is a highly contagious and series viral infection of the liver. Hepatitis B can lead to premature death from liver damage, liver cancer or failure. It can be spread through contact with an infected person’s blood, bodily fluids or through sexual contact. (Submitted)

Larchmont man arrested on child pornography charges Westchester County District Attorney Anthony Scarpino announced that Trevor McKay of Larchmont is charged with possessing and promoting child pornography. McKay, 40, was arrested Thursday, Dec. 19 by the District Attorney’s Office Criminal Investigators and arraigned in New Rochelle City Court on charges of Promoting an Obscene Sexual Performance by a Child, a class D felony, and Possessing an Obscene Sexual Performance by a Child, a class E felony. He was released on his own recognizance. His next court appearance is set for Jan. 6, 2020. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, NCMEC, received incident informa-

tion from Google about “Child Pornography” that had been sent through their server. Google informed NCMEC that a person using an email account had uploaded images of child pornography. The user of that email account was using a mobile telephone at the time of the upload. The New York State Police, which staffs the NYS Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force reviewed the case and received a response from the telephone provider about the user of the mobile telephone. The information was forwarded to the Westchester District Attorney’s Office Cybercrime Bureau, which launched an investigation. The DA’s investigators exe-

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.

The Larchmont Public Library’s Oresman Gallery presents “Paper Art 2019,” an exhibit of unique paper art by Sine Hjort. The exhibit will open in the Oresman Gallery on Friday, Jan. 3, and will remain on display through Thursday, Jan. 30. The exhibit is free and open to everyone during normal library hours. In addition to the exhibit, the artist will host a hands-on paper-cutting workshop on Saturday, Jan. 11 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The workshop is free and everyone is invited to participate. Hjort grew up in Denmark and went to a private school that focused on creativity. Educated at the Copenhagen Art and Danish Design schools, she came to New York in 1986 and became the creative force behind an all women’s music project, a band called Maria Excommunikata. She composed, recorded and performed with many talented and wonderful artists. The band toured the U.S. with Tom Tom Club and Debbie Harry and she had a cameo appearance in The Ramones music video “The Pet Sematary.” While performing, she supported herself by doing piecework for Soho artist James Rizzi, cutting paper and assembling his art works for a period of seven years. “I have had success sharing my work at locations where people sit down for a while so they have time to look at my art work,” Hjort said. “The New York craft beer scene has been a wonderful connection for my work and I am thrilled to license my art to the delicious craft beer label called “Nap Time Liquid Creation,” based in

Blauvelt. My works also decorate the tasting room at the brewery”. Sine Hjort exhibits in both the U.S. and in Denmark, where she is a member of Næstved Grafik Værksted and attends their workshops. She has works permanently on display at the Flat Iron Gallery in Peekskill. She teaches workshops throughout Westchester County; mostly at public libraries and private art schools. Working for the Croton Academy of Arts she teaches a paper-cutting workshop at a weekly after- school program at Croton Elementary School. Hjort lives in Croton-On-Hudson (surrounded by tall trees and wild animals). (Submitted)

Harrison PD Elves bring joy to CPW On Dec. 11, Santa made an early visit to the students at Cerebral Palsy of Westchester’s United Preschool. He was accompanied by officers from the Harrison Police Department, who have been visiting the preschool with Santa for more than 15 years and are happy to act as his “elves” for the day. The visit was kept a secret from the students, and they were very excited to see that Santa and his elves had arrived before Christmas Eve. The event was held at Wilson House—a large open indoor space adjacent to the preschool’s main building. Gifts were donated by local residents and distributed by eight members of the Harrison Police Department. Students of the United Preschool Center participate in many other festive activities in December. Opportunities are provided both in and out of the classroom for the students to learn about the various winter holidays and a winter music concert is held in January. (Submitted)

Tai chi puts minimal stress on muscles and joints, making it safe for all ages and fitness levels. It may be especially suitable for older adults who otherwise may not exercise.

Land Trust adds 3 acres to arsenal

Westchester Land Trust ended 2019 with a 3-acre parcel acquisition adjacent to Westchester Wilderness Walk/Zofnass Family Preserve, WLT’s flagship preserve. The additional three acres of land were donated to the Westchester Land Trust by the preserve’s founding family: Paul Zofnass and Renee Ring.

Westchester Land Trust, WLT, announced the acquisition of a 3-acre parcel adjacent to Westchester Wilderness Walk/Zofnass Family Preserve, WLT’s flagship preserve which at 150 acres encompasses an eight-mile trail network, rocky woods, hillside streams, lakes and wetlands. The additional three acres of land were donated to the Westchester Land Trust by the preserve’s founding family: Paul Zofnass and Renee Ring. The new acquisition features an arboretum established by Paul Zofnass over the past 10 years. It includes roughly 250 different species of trees, plants and grasses, all identified, along a winding foot path which will become part of the South Loop Trail. “We are honored to have permanently protected land to expand Westchester Wilderness Walk/Zofnass Family Preserve,” said WLT President Lori Ensing-

er. “We are so thankful to Paul and Renee for their continued leadership and generosity, which serves as a testament to the important role landowners can play in protecting open space throughout our community.” Zofnass and his wife Ring, Pound Ridge residents and members of the Westchester Land Trust’s board of directors, first conceived the idea of creating a trail preserve, now known as the Westchester Wilderness Walk/ Zofnass Family Preserve, and then worked for more than 10 years to put the project together. Zofnass, Ring and their family donated land, persuaded their neighbors to donate land, and created the impressive trail system. “My family and I are delighted to add this additional parcel to the Westchester Wilderness Walk and to share our love of trees and plants and nature with the com-

munity,” Zofnass said. “We hope many people will enjoy and learn from this resource forever. Once you can identify and differentiate one species of tree, plant or grass from another, the more interested you get, the more joy you experience, the more appreciative you are and the more you want to protect this diversity. It’s an important part of preservation.” The preserve is expanding in other ways too with the long-awaited opening of a new parking lot on Joshua Hobby Road. Installed in October 2019 with generous funding from the Land Trust Alliance/New York State Conservation Partnership Program, this 5-car gravel lot was first envisioned nearly 20 years ago, and it provides great access to the eastern trails including the 1-mile Eastern Loop featuring wetland views, an experimental deer exclosure, and educational signs.

Burner after reading LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

Perhaps it is fitting that even a day on which the New York Giants fired their head coach after a disastrous regular season campaign, the media attention in this city is not fixed on Big Blue, but on their fellow tenants at Met Life Stadium. While that might seem odd to those outside the tri-state area, those of us who follow New York football can only throw up and sigh, uttering the three-word phrase that seems to dominate the conversation whenever Gang Green is involved. Same old Jets. On Monday morning, the Giants unsurprisingly fired Pat Shurmur, a second-year head coach who bungled his way to a 4-12 record this year. Usually, when there’s a coaching change with a local team, the next few weeks are dedicated to unpacking the firing; the departed coach’s flaws are picked apart by

the media and speculation about his successor is rampant. But somehow, the Jets—and their incomprehensible feud with Daily News beat reporter Manish Mehta—managed to eclipse Shurmur’s exit. Let’s break it down; last week, Mehta—whose antipathy toward the team he covers has often been noted by media watchdogs—alleged in a column that Jets’ head coach Adam Gase was using an anonymous “burner” Twitter account to defend himself from criticism on social media. On it’s own, Mehta’s story isn’t completely implausible; there have been plenty of athletes and executives—like Kevin Durant and Philadelphia 76ers GM Bryan Colangelo—who have been caught doing this exact thing. But on Monday, a quickly-deleted tweet from this burner account which contained a link to a Mehta article, led many to believe that the account was created by Mehta himself for the express purpose of creating a false story about a coach with whom he had

been butting heads. If that’s enough to make your head spin, just imagine what it was like explaining this to my father, who has a tenuous grasp of social media at best. If the allegations against Mehta are true, this is clearly a fireable offense; manufacturing stories is a no-no in the world of journalism, and the level of pettiness in this situation is quite frankly mind-boggling. Well, unless you follow the Jets. For whatever reason, the Jets always seem to court this kind of inanity. Some of it is their fault— like starting quarterback Geno Smith getting his jaw broken by a backup defensive end prior to the 2015 season—and some of it isn’t, like this year’s starting signal caller getting sidelined with mononucleosis in the early goings of 2019. But when you add up all these weird, little, embarrassing stories, a larger narrative becomes apparent, and it’s that the Jets can’t get out of their own way. I’m excited to see how this story plays out, to find out who

is behind this mysterious Twitter account that has dominated the city’s sports discourse over the last few days. But more

importantly, I’m excited that no matter how far the Giants fall, the Jets will always do something to make them look

like a stable organization.

HARRISON 56 EASTCHESTER 53 WESTCHESTER COUNTY CENTER 12/20/19

Game Notes: • Anthony Gjokaj won MVP honors with a 15 point, 8 rebound performance • Mike Taylor had 22 points for Eastchester • The Huskies are currently 6-1

Mike Taylor goes up for a layup against the Huskies on Dec. 20. Taylor led all scorers with 22 points.

Anthony Gjokaj takes a contested shot against Eastchester on Dec. 20. Gjokaj had 15 points and 8 rebounds.

both squads have their sights set on making a return to the venue with a berth in the Class A semifinals, it was the Huskies who shined on this night, topping the Eagles 56-53 to earn a hardfought victory. Harrison struggled from the field early on, spotting Eastchester a 13-10 lead in the first quarter. But the Huskies rallied back in the second, outscoring their opponents 20-8 to take a 30-21 lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. Much of the Huskies’ comeback was predicated on a deep bench and outside shooting, as the team’s perimeter threats, including Sam Ptashnik and Reece Mullahy began to find their range from beyond the arc. Ptashnik was particularly effective coming off the bench, scoring nine of his 11 points on three-pointers. Anthony Gjokaj, who won game-MVP honors with 15 points and eight rebounds, said that depth has been a strength for the Huskies (6-1) all season. “A couple of kids came in, they gave us energy,” Gjokaj said. “We know what we are, we just kept going with our game plan. We know we can run the floor and play our game and we continued to do that.”

Eastchester (3-4) refused to let Harrison’s second quarter run put the game away, however, as they staged a few second half rallies that turned the contest into a one-possession game. The Eagles had a chance to send the game into overtime with a three-pointer as time expired but the shot was off the mark. Mike Taylor led all scorers with a 22-point effort.“Eastchester’s a great team, they play hard, they’re gritty,” Gjokaj said. “It feels good to get a win, especially at the County Center.” Eastchester will look to get back to .500 when they return to action on Jan. 7 against another league rival in Sleepy Hollow. The Horsemen are currently 2-4 on the season and still looking for their first in-conference win. Harrison will close out 2019 with a game against Evander Childs High School on Dec. 30, after press time. “Moving forward, we just need to remain calm in the moment,” Gjokaj said. “We need to remember that nothing’s too big, it’s just a game and we need to play like we know we can.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
