WP Hospital partners with county, police to combat opioid crisis According to the American College of Surgeons, 60 percent of patients prescribed with an opioid recently said they were keeping leftover drugs for future use. Nearly one-half reported not knowing what to do with leftover opioid medications, and about 40 percent of those using opioids without a prescription had obtained them from friends or relatives. Here in Westchester County, opioid-related deaths have increased four-fold from 2010 to 2016. To combat this significant public health issue and provide the community with resources for support, White Plains Hospital is moderat-

ing, Change the Conversation: A Panel Discussion on Opioids in our Community on Thursday, April 12 at 6 p.m. in the White Plains High School Auditorium (550 North St., section A Parking). The interactive panel discussion will bring awareness to the community, empower individuals to take action against opioid abuse and discuss positive solutions. Following introductory remarks by White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach and Westchester County Department of Health Commissioner Sherita Amler, keynote speaker Stephanie Marquesano, founder

of the Harris Project and an Ardsley resident, will share her personal story of loss and her mission to positively impact the opioid crisis in the community. A panel discussion will follow with various experts, each providing a unique perspective on the opioid crisis, its effects on our community and resources for intervention and recovery. Panelists are: • Dahlia Austin, MPS, Westchester Department of Community Mental Health • Richard Ellsasser, MD, director of Psychiatry at White

Plains Hospital • Lilly Neuman, CASAC, St Vincent’s Hospital Westchester, a division of Saint Joseph’s Medical Center • Christina Spano, detective, White Plains Police Department The program, free of charge and open to the public, will be moderated by Dean Straff, associate director of Emergency Medicine at White Plains Hospital. Advance registration is recommended, but not required. More information can be obtained by visiting wphospital.org/ opioidpanel or by calling 681-1119. (Submitted)

Westchester County Executive George Latimer has transformed the Michaelian Government Building into an art gallery. Mike’s Bridge Gallery, located in the Michaelian Building, is now lined with bright and charismatic prints on loan from The Arc Westchester. County employees are thrilled to have beautiful art fill the gallery, a space that has been left bare for almost a decade. Some pieces, all done by individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, include abstract images in bright yellows and deep blues that resemble the ocean. Other pieces show soft visuals of birds and fish that bring a sense of calm to the gallery. Latimer presented Ric Sweirat, executive director, and volunteer Gallery Manager Rob Miss of The Arc Westchester with a Certificate of Merit for their work with individuals with disabilities. “When you try to cluster people who are working through a variety of developmental disabilities, but still functioning in the world and still wanting to express who they are, we have an obligation to showcase that individuality,” Latimer said. “That is exactly what The Arc Westchester has been doing all these years.” Sweirat said, “I want to thank the county, in particular County Executive Latimer for allowing us to make this presentation so the community can see how important it is for talent to be exhibited, and the expression of the

soul of the artist to be presented.” And Miss added, “Today is Autism Awareness Day. The U.N. voted to do this 11 years ago. One of the things you often hear when someone is speaking about someone with autism, is the spectrum. What you are seeing behind us is the spectrum. These are colorful and joyful artworks by people who are employed. Thanks to Ric, they found many jobs and services in The Arc Westchester, and at night this is what they do.” (Submitted)

Manhattanville College will host “Designing Memory,” a multimedia immersive event starting at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, April 17, which is free and open to the public. Join Manhattanville College in exploring the relationships among spaces, architecture, monuments, and the construction of memory and identity. The Keynote address, “Public Spaces: Women Take Their Places,” will be given by Coline Jenkins, activist, author and legislator. “Designing Memory” will lead visitors on a tour through the Manhattanville campus stopping at specific locations for performances and discussions surrounding the college’s history, the removal of religious monuments, and the formation of memory and identity. Manhattanville faculty, staff and students will make special presentations and performances that explain each location that will be visited. A special performance will be put on by Manhattanville dance students at the Lady Chapel, the oldest of the

three remaining family chapels in Westchester County. The chapel was built in 1867 by Ben Holladay for his wife Ann, which was restored with a glass roof in 2004 by architect Maya Lin. “Designing Memory” was conceptualized to ask the questions: Can statues be sentenced to death? Can and should memory be deleted or erased? Throughout history, humans have tried desperately to assert their sense of who they are, their memory and identity through external markers, paintings, statues, written documents, songs and monuments. But what happens to these monuments and statues when our sense of who we are changes? “There has been a lot of debate in the world recently about the role of monuments. What they mean, what it means to create them, what it means to destroy them, how we react to them, and how they define spaces. We wanted to do a deeper dive into those ideas because sometimes when an issue is in the news, it becomes

polarizing as if there is something to be ‘for’ and something to be ‘against,’” said Manhattanville College President Michael Geisler. “We are eager to host this important program and future events with the goal of reestablishing Manhattanville College as a center for intellectual conversations about critical contemporary issues for Westchester County.” Manhattanville College was once home to several religious monuments that held deep meaning for the Sacred Heart Order. They were removed in 2005, without a campus conversation. In addition to the removal of religious monuments, the board of trustees voted to remove “Of the Sacred Heart” from the official college name in 1966. Through the years, Coline Jenkins has used her talents to inspire both awareness and pride in women’s history. She works to ensure the placement of monuments to women in Central Park, beginning with Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton.

Jenkins is co-founder and president of the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Trust, a collection of 3,000 objects of women’s suffrage memorabilia that has been lent to museum exhibits, book publishers, documentary film producers, presidential libraries, popular magazines, television programs (both domestic and international) and Congressional testimony. The Trust’s lending practice fulfills its mission: To preserve the history of the women’s rights movement, to educate the public on this history and to promote the advancement of women’s rights. Jenkins co-authored a book, “33 Things Every Girl Should Know about Women’s History,” and produced the television documentary, “An American Revolution: Women Take Their Place.” Her 2009 testimony before the U.S. Senate contributed to the passage of federal legislation creating a national trail of historic sites, coordinated by Women’s Rights National Historical Park.

Feds announce $3.6M grant for county buses

Westchester members of Congress, Nita Lowey, Eliot Engel and Sean Patrick Maloney, all Democrats, announced today that the county has been awarded a $3.6 million federal grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Transit Administration for new vehicles under the Bus & Bus Facilities Competitive Grant Program. The Bus & Bus Facilities Infrastructure Investment Program makes federal resources available to states and direct recipients to replace, rehabilitate and purchase buses and related equipment. “Thousands of Westchester

residents depend on a reliable public transportation system in their daily lives,” Lowey said. “This $3.6 million federal grant will enable the county to purchase new buses, ensuring that residents have continued access to safe and efficient public transportation. As the ranking member on the House Appropriations Committee, which oversees federal funding allocations, I will continue to make sure that the Lower Hudson Valley has the resources to serve residents, support economic growth and prosper.” “This federal money will help repair and replace aging buses that are currently on the

roads of Westchester County,” Engel said. “The idea is to improve public service by helping to ensure that transit riders have access to the safest, most reliable and most efficient modes of transportation possible.” “I applaud our federal delegation for working hard to get Westchester County this much needed money to replace our aging bus fleet,” Democratic County Executive George Latimer said. “It is imperative that county residents have safe and reliable busses that they can depend on to get them to work, school and around the county.” (Submitted)

Looking ahead to the past LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

On April 4, Major League Baseball’s newest initiative to capture young viewers kicked off in earnest, as the Wednesday matinee between the Phillies and Mets could not be found on WPIX 11, SNY or any traditional television channel, including the MLB’s own. Instead, the game was broadcast exclusively on Facebook, the first of 25 Major League games to be shown only on the social media platform during the 2018 season. Like many of the recent attempts by MLB to pursue the next generation of viewers, this one leaves me puzzled. Not only does the deal not make much sense for the average viewer, it makes me think that the league is putting its eggs in the wrong basket. Now, the MLB has always had problems in its attempts to change existing business models, be it with rising ticket prices due to the increasing cost of free agency

or the emergence of team-owned television stations that saw games move from network TV to cable. Heck, I can still remember the public outcry when the bulk of Yankee games, shown on WPIX 11 for nearly 50 years, moved to the newly formed YES Network. A number of local fans—including my great uncle who worked at Yankee Stadium until he retired at the age of 75—found themselves unable to tune in to Bronx Bombers games either because the didn’t have a cable package or because their cable providers had not yet inked a deal with the new network. But issues like these eventually get ironed out for the most part and baseball has found a way to make the majority of its games accessible to a nationwide audience; As a Red Sox fan living outside of the team’s regional market, a relatively inexpensive subscription to MLB.tv allows me to catch Boston games whenever I want. My problem with the MLB’s latest move is that, in terms of thinking toward the future, a deal

with Facebook seems like a step backwards. Forget, for a second, Facebook’s latest controversy surrounding data-mining; how does the MLB making a deal with a platform currently being abandoned by young people in droves make any sense in terms of the long term growth of the sport? By and large, people under the age of 35 rarely go on Facebook anymore. Between algorithms that pepper your newsfeed with sponsored content and your unhinged uncle’s crazy conspiracy theory rants, as well as the advent of newer platforms like Instagram and Snapchat, Facebook is nothing but a dinosaur these days. Did MLB originally hope to stream these games via an exclusive deal with Myspace or AskJeeves? Right now, Major League Baseball seems to be chasing its own tail in search of the elusive younger demographic. Moves to shorten games—like limiting mound visits and toying with extra-inning rules—threaten to tear at the fabric of the sport while producing only minor results in

terms of actual game run times, alienating older viewers while not doing much to make an impact with the younger generation. If my father’s inquisitive texts about how to watch Noah Syndergaard pitch on Wednesday are any indication, this latest move is threatening to do the exact same thing. As a baseball fan through and through, I’ve said it before; I’ve got no idea how to make the sport I love more appealing to the next generation of sports fans. Strangely enough, that seems to make me uniquely qualified for a job with Major League Baseball. So if you’re reading this, Commissioner Manfred, my references are available upon request. On April 4, Major League Baseball broadcast the Mets vs. Phillies game exclusively on Facebook. The move seems like an odd way to appeal to younger viewers. Photo courtesy Wikipedia.org

THE ROUNDUP BOYS LACROSSE

Mamaroneck 16 Bronxville 4 At Mamaroneck HS

3/27/18

After building up a 9-2 first half lead, the host Tigers continued to apply pressure to Bronxville, topping the Broncos in a non-league matchup. The Tigers controlled the possession for much of the game and got great offensive performance from Ajed Zimet who led all scorers with five goals. Zimet’s teammate, Tom Conley, hurt the Broncos in a variety of ways, finding the net four times and dishing out three assists. Bronxville’s offense, despite struggling against an experienced Mamaroneck crew, was balanced; four different players accounted for Broncos’ goals.

Pleasantville 12 Mamaroneck 7 At Pleasantville HS

3/29/18

A late surge by Pleasantville spelled disaster for the Tigers last Thursday, as the Panthers broke a halftime tie by outscoring visiting Mamaroneck 8-3 in the final half of play to come away with the win. Pleasantville was led by Declan

McDermott (three goals) and Brian Reda (two goals, two assists), and goalie Garrett Carney, who stopped 17 shots on the afternoon. J.B. Conner had five goals for the Tigers. At 2-1 on the year, Mamaroneck will be back in action against league foe White Plains on April 5, after press time.

GIRLS LACROSSE

Mamaroneck 13 Mahopac 5 At Mahopac HS

3/28/18

The Tigers got off to a solid start this year, topping host Mahopac with a tremendous opening day showing. Mamaroneck was led by strong performances by Tyler Zidlicky, who netted four goals, and Madeline Riordan, who had four assists to go along with two goals. Both Emily Mahland and Sarah Bennett scored twice as well. The Tigers now turn their attention to an April 5 showdown with league rival White Plains.

win of the season last Thursday, topping Clarkstown North in decisive fashion behind a solid outing by ace hurler Gianna Magrino. Magrino fanned 10 batters to notch the victory, and also picked up two hits on the afternoon. Josie Steinberg pounded a bases-clearing triple to help power a Mamaroneck offense that should be one to watch this season. After being snowed out twice this week, the Tigers hope to be back on the field on April 9, when they are scheduled to travel to John Jay East Fishkill.
