Westchester County Early Voting Centers: St. Gregory The Great Church, 215 Halstead Avenue, Harrison, NY 10528

Chair Vedat Gashi (D – New Castle, Somers, Yorktown) convened the observance noting, “While we commemorate Pride throughout the month with fun and exuberant festivals, in talking to LGBTQ+ community leaders there is much that concerns them. There is a growing sense that their community is under siege, with new legislation aimed at eliminating their rights and their visibility, by those trying to silence their identities in schools, by the banning of books and the disapproval of their cultural expression. The focus now is creating solidarity against those trying to erase their very existence, after many years of progress and forward movement. And so we join them in solidarity and will be vigilant in protecting the freedoms they have fought so hard win.”

“Tonight we honor two outstanding Westchester residents who work, in their individual spheres, to protect and promote LGBTQ rights and identity throughout the County.”

Legislator Damon Maher (D –Eastchester, New Rochelle, Tuckahoe) presented the first proclamation, noting, “Celebrating LGBTQ Pride month has a very personal connection for me. With beloved members of my immediate and extended family over generations being part of the LGBTQ community, it would be unthinkable to not support them and others with differences.”

“So it is with great pride that I recognize New Rochelle resident, Sam Gomez, Director of Diversity & Inclusion and the LGBTQ Community Liaison for the City of New Rochelle, for his extraordinary efforts in New Rochelle, and throughout this County.

Sam is also one of three Co-Founders of New Rochelle LGBTQ+ Pride, which aims to bring vital programming not just during Pride month, but throughout the year.”

Mr. Gomez thanked the Legislator saying, “It is a great and humbling honor to be standing here today. I am a child of New Rochelle, of Westchester. I left Peru at 13 years old and moved to New Rochelle without speaking any English, without friends, and with-

out most of my family. Westchester welcomed me with open arms. All the opportunities, access to services and programs that Westchester offered allowed me to become the person that is standing here today. So, thank you all for making this the kind of community a shy kid like me could succeed in such a way that I can now give back.”

The Board declared June 10, 2022 “Sam Gomez Day” in Westchester County.

Legislator Erika Pierce (D –Bedford, Lewisboro, Mt. Kisco, North Salem, Pound Ridge, Somers) presented the second proclamation saying, “I could not be more thrilled to be here today to honor Dan Longhurst, for all he does to create and foster affirming and safe learning environments, especially in communities where being LGBTQ+ is less safe.”

“As an openly gay, top-notch Physics teacher and advisor to John Jay High School’s Sexuality and Gender Alliance (SAGA), Dan has a critical, positive impact on students’ lives, which by extension, improves their mental health, self –esteem and their academic outcomes, all outcomes you see with a truly excellent teacher and mentor.”

“Dan has additionally served as Co-Chair of The Lower Hudson Valley Chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). In that role, he organized and ran workshops with teachers and students across Westchester County and beyond - all aimed at helping schools become safer and more welcoming places for their students, no matter how they identify.”

Mr. Longhurst accepted the honor with these words, “From my work with GLSEN, I’ve learned that teachers and educators want to help but they lack the resources to help kids. From my work as the SAGA advisor, I’ve learned that queer kids need safe spaces to experience joy and be themselves genuinely without fear of judgement ... the current state of the world has queer and trans kids under attack ... they need our support!”

“It is my students’ bravery in being ‘out’ that inspires my work ... I want to thank them because they are my heroes.”

The Board declared June 11, 2023 “Daniel Longhurst Day” in Westchester County.

County Parks received award from WRAPS

The Westchester County Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation recently received the Matt M. Dolan Innovative Program Award and Grant from the Westchester Recreation and Park Society, Inc. (WRAPS) for the Dinosaur Garden exhibit at Lasdon Park and Arboretum in Somers.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “We are excited that Lasdon Park and Arboretum has been acknowledged by an extremely respected organization that pays tribute to people and organizations for their contributions to parks and recreation in Westchester County. The Dinosaur Garden continues to be an entertaining and wonderful learning experience for children. This a testament to the commitment and dedication that has gone into making Lasdon Park and Arboretum a true gem for the community.”

Westchester County Parks Commissioner Kathleen O’Connor said, “We are thrilled to be the recipient of this coveted award and generous grant from the Society. To receive such recognition is a tribute to the hard work of our enthusiastic Parks staff. This is quite an honor and incredible source of pride for

us all.”

One of Lasdon’s most popular exhibits, is the walk-through Dinosaur Garden, which was created to encourage children to enjoy nature through a fun yet educational interactive experience. Life-like statues of dinosaurs were placed throughout the garden pathway along with prehistoric vegetation such as Ferns, Ginkgo Trees, Monkey Puzzle Trees and Umbrella Pines.

To bring the prehistoric exhibit into the modern era, a free-to-download app for cell phones, ZAPPAR, allowed the user to scan exhibit signs and retrieve fun and interesting facts about dinosaurs as they journeyed through the garden. Visitors learned about how large dinosaurs were, what they ate, how they hatched from eggs, how dinosaur fossils formed and about how Paleontologists study dinosaurs. Children were excited to meet and interact with our very own dinosaur character, Lexi, who was created to add an additional layer of interest for the kids. At the end of the walk, children were able to take a virtual photograph with Lexi as a keepsake.

A satellite program that included hands-on

activities was coordinated with the Dinosaur Garden and run seasonally reinforcing the lessons learned. Children were given an official Lasdon Dino-a-Day Activity Bag filled with tasks. They colored hatched pet dinosaurs, prepared Paleo-pouches, completed crossword puzzles, created and dug for fossils,

dug for fossils, compared their footprints to those of different dinosaurs, made dinosaur masks and pretended to be dinosaurs. Once the activity bag was completed, each child received a certificate stating that they were an, “Official Lasdon Dinosaur Garden Paleontologist!”

Students earn $16,250 in cash prizes in international ARTEFFECT competition

The Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes (LMC) announced the nine winners of the 8th annual ARTEFFECT competition. The international competition challenges students to creatively interpret the stories of Unsung Heroes through original works of art accompanied by artist impact statements. LMC awarded the $6,000 Grand Prize to Celine Fong, an 11th grader at Rye Country Day School in Rye, New York. Over $10,000 in cash prizes was awarded to the eight other winning students across the high school and middle school divisions.

“The works of art submitted by our ARTEFFECT winners show their visionary thinking and the superior nature of their creative skills,” said LMC Chief Executive Officer Norm Conard. “Our team at the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes lauds the vivid imagination of these student champions and the excellence of their work.”

“This is a unique competition where students are encouraged to explore the Unsung Heroes as role models as well as discover the relevance of their own art-making,” said Dr. Toni Guglielmo, Director of ARTEFFECT. “While learning about these individuals from across history, students also discover the impact of sharing these stories with their communities through their artworks.”

Fong’s oil painting A Beacon of Hope depicts the story of Unsung Hero Abdol Hossein Sardari, an Iranian diplomat who saved thousands during World War II by secretly issuing passports in Nazi-occupied France. He was also the sole Iranian diplomat who remained in Paris during the occupation, where he convinced the Germans to exempt Jugutis—a term for the descendants of Persian Jews who continued to practice Judaism— from Nazi anti-Jewish measures.

“As a 21st century student and artist, I believe in the deep investigation of personal narratives to gain insight about change-making role models and engage with powerful stories that can refocus our evolving world,” Fong wrote in her impact statement. “In reaffirming the unacknowledged heroes from the past, we have the power to amplify their contributions, preserve their memories, and better comprehend our collective history to engender a well-informed future.”

In addition to taking home cash prizes, winners have their artworks and excerpts from their impact statements showcased on LMC’s website, listed along with their sponsoring teacher. Additionally, the award-winning artworks are displayed in LMC’s Hall of Unsung Heroes in Fort Scott, Kansas, a museum and research center visited by thousands annually from across the globe.

The $3,000 High School Best in Show prize was awarded to 12th grader Breanna Zaborowski, who recently graduated from Hartland High School in the Detroit suburb of Hartland, Michigan. Zaborowski’s mixed media artwork A Triple Threat presents a portrait of Unsung Hero Florence Kelley with narrative elements. As a social reform activist, Kelley spent decades inspecting, advocating and lobbying for safer factories, after

which she helped found the NAACP with W.E.B. Du Bois. Her work brought about the 1893 Factory Act, the first state law in the U.S. prohibiting employment of children under 14, and the Meat Inspection and Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906.

Winning the $2,000 High School Second Place prize was Amelia Ghannam, an 11th grader at Hopewell Valley Central High School in Pennington, within Mercer County, New Jersey. Her entry Hiawatha, Uniter of the Iroquois is a chalk pastel drawing that honors Hiawatha. An Onondaga chief and skilled orator, Hiawatha helped unite the five nations of the Onondaga, Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga and Seneca into the Iroquois Confederacy.

The recipient of the $2,000 Middle School Best in Show prize was 8th grader Jennet Koroglu from LaVilla School of the Arts in Jacksonville, Florida. Her digital artwork THERE IS NO BREAD! represents the bold actions of Unsung Hero Gareth Jones in a propaganda-style poster. Jones was a 20th century journalist who exposed the human-made famine, the Holodomor, that plagued Ukraine under Stalin’s rule. His work was met with resistance by both U.S. and Soviet media, and his death was at the hands of Stalin’s secret police in Japanese-occupied Mongolia.

From Jericho, New York, Jericho Middle School 8th grader Chloe Hu won the $1,000 Middle School Second Place prize. Her artwork Genius Inventor Behind Beauty combines pencil and digital art to celebrate Hedy Lamarr, an actress and inventor whose discoveries aided the Allies in World War II and served as the basis for modern day Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. This technology, known as “frequency-hopping spread spectrum” (or FHSS), manipulates radio frequencies causing the signal to hop between frequencies, which disables an enemy from jamming a signal.

New this year, LMC designated a $1,000 Spotlight Prize for entries celebrating Unsung Heroes previously underrepresented in the ARTEFFECT competition. This award went to Nora Morrow, an 8th grader at LaVilla School of the Arts. Her work Reaching for Vivien uses block printing ink on paper to commemorate Unsung Hero Vivien Thomas, a doctor whose medical research resulted in a surgical solution to “blue baby syndrome.” Thomas created the tools necessary to perform the surgery on a human and, within a year, over 200 successful operations were performed.

Two students received $500 Certificate of Excellence prizes in the High School division. Emily Hammill, a 12th grader at Olympia High School in Olympia, Washington, received a certificate for her ceramic sculpture Voice of the People which honors Unsung Hero John Avery Lomax. Lomax was an American musicologist who documented and preserved American folk traditions and songs such as “Home on the Range.” Eleventh grader Emily Dalcamo of Sparta High School in Sparta, within Sussex County, New Jersey, celebrates Unsung Hero Virginia Apgar in her digital work The Apgar Score. Apgar was an obstetrical anesthesiologist and the inventor of the A.P.G.A.R. score, which determines a baby’s health one and five minutes after birth.

Eighth grader Emily Leonard from LaVilla School of the Arts received a $250 Certificate of Excellence in the Middle School division. Leonard’s mixed media sculpture Future of the Sea pays homage to Unsung Hero Sylvia Earle, an American marine biologist. Earle’s work in conservation and advocacy includes the creation of Marine Protected Areas, where wildlife can thrive without human interference, and Tektite II, the first underwater habitat for humans.

The ARTEFFECT judging panel consisted of LMC’s executive leadership as well as visual arts experts at the Skirball Cultural Center, CalArts, Museum of Ventura County, and ArtCenter College of Design.

Submissions for the next ARTEFFECT competition will open in November 2023. Visit the Lowell Milken Center for Unsung Heroes for more information.

Why you need dental insurance in retirement.

Many Americans are fortunate to have dental coverage for their entire working life, throughemployer-provided benefits. When those benefits end with retirement, paying dental bills out-of-pocket can come as a shock, leading people to put off or even go without care. Simply put — without dental insurance, there may be an important gap in your healthcare coverage.

you’re comparing plans...

 Look for coverage that helps pay for major services. Some plans may limit the number of procedures — or pay for preventive care only.

 Look for coverage with no deductibles. Some plans may require you to pay hundreds out of pocket before benefits are paid.

 Shop for coverage with no annual maximum on cash benefits. Some plans have annual maximums of $1,000.

Medicare doesn’t pay for dental care.

1

That’s right. As good as Medicare is, it was never meant to cover everything. That means if you want protection, you need to purchase individual insurance.

Previous dental work can wear out. Even if you’ve had quality dental work in the past, you shouldn’t take your dental health for granted. In fact, your odds of having a dental problem only go up as you age.2

Treatment is expensive — especially the services people over 50 often need.

The best way to prevent large dental bills is preventive care. The American Dental Association recommends checkups twice a year.

Consider these national average costs of treatment ... $217 for a checkup ... $189 for a filling ... $1,219 for a crown.3 Unexpected bills like this can be a real burden, especially if you’re on a fixed income.

“I don’t worry”

“Now that I have your dental policy, I don’t worry about going to the dentist. I love your plan — you pay what you say!”

Bronxville, Rye fall short in state title bids

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

Last week, state title bids for the Rye boys and Bronxville girls lacrosse teams fell just short, as the Garnets and Broncos bowed in the semifinals and championship games respectively. But for two teams who came into the season with a few question marks, there’s no doubt that the two squads met—and exceeded—expectations.

On Friday, Rye traveled to Albany and joined three other Section 1 teams— Pleasantville and Scarsdale—in falling to Long Island competition in the semifinals. The Garnets—taking on eventual state champ Manhasset—fell 13-6 in a game that was much closer than the final score indicated.

After falling behind 5-0 to start the game, Rye— sparked by a few goals by Andrew Keller—cut the lead to 8-5 in the third quarter before a late Manhasset rally served to put the game away. It was the second-straight state semifinal appearance for Rye, who will lose some notable seniors but returns a strong

group of rising juniors next year that should again have the Garnets in contention to—at the very least—vie for a Section 1 title.

The Garnets finished with a record of 13-8, but really seemed to find their stride in the postseason when the team’s underclassmen began to shine.

On Saturday, Bronxville’s girls team—which, like the Garnets, were tasked with replacing several stars from its 2022 team—saw their title hopes come to an end in the Class D championships, falling to Skaneateles 11-6 in the title game.

Bronxville beat Skaneateles for the state title last

year but didn’t have enough firepower to put the Lakers away two years in a row. But Bronxville’s finals loss shouldn’t take away from a terrific season that saw the team play with grit and determination, especially in their dominant semifinal round win over Penn Yan Academy.

That resilience was

something the team adopted over the course of a grueling regular season schedule that saw Bronxville take on some of the top teams in the area, regardless of schoolsize, said senior Catherine Berkery.

“That’s something we learned at the start of the season; there were times

we’d go down or we’d lose possession and we would get down on ourselves,” said Berkery. “Now, we have a ‘next play’ mentality, so even if they scored, all we were thinking about was how we could respond.”

Game Notes

• Chatham’s Matt Thorsen got the win

• The Panthers finished 24-2

• Tuckahoe will graduate 5 seniors

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

For a team that demonstrated a knack for defying the odds during a magical postseason run, Tuckahoe found itself in need of another miracle on Saturday, when it trailed Chatham late in the Class C state championship game.

And even though the hits—not enough of them, anyway—didn’t end up coming against the Panthers, the grit and tenacity the Tigers had shown all year was on display as they ended their season with a 12-6 loss to the Section II powerhouse.

With a 4-1 lead in the fourth inning, Tuckahoe fell victim to an onslaught from Chatham, as the Panthers rallied for eight runs in the fifth and sixth inning to

Tuckahoe coach Phil Treglia said that he knew Chatham’s athleticism and ability to rack up timely hits were constants this year, as the Panthers finished the year with a 24-2 record.

“Chatham’s a good team; they’re a solid program. We know that they are wellschooled in baseball, it was nothing unexpected,” said Treglia. “They got two runs the next inning, kept fighting, and kept battling. That’s a testament to their character, their teamwork, and the friendships they built.”

Offensively, the Tigers were led by solid games from Connor Benke and Jax Colacicco, who both plated two runs. John Benke and Connor Brice had one RBI apiece.

Senior centerfielder

Michael Annunziata said that, despite falling short of a state title, Tuckahoe’s run was a source of great pride for its players—especially its seniors.

”This was an experience that was second-to-none,”

Annunziata said. “You play the most important game of your high school career with your best friends, your neighbors, the kids you grew up with. We didn’t come out as the winner, but we came out

with a lot of memories.”

Annunziata also explained that for a program like Tuckahoe—which hadn’t played in a state championship game since 2011—the energy and excitement surrounding this year’s run was truly special.

“It had been a while since we’ve even touched states,”

Annunziata said. “In the early 2000s, we used to come here a lot, but it’s been a while, and I think for the young kids that shows it’s possible to do. We kind of looked at it as being above us, and I feel like we’re reaching it now.”

Annunziata and four other

seniors will graduate this year, but he feels that the program is in capable hands with a number of young stars who emerged this year, including Colaccico, Brice, and Connor Benke.

“I would tell the rest of the state to watch out for Tuckahoe, in all sports,” he said.

“We’ve got a lot of young bucks and it’s sad that we’re leaving, but I think we’re gonna have quite the program, quite the dynasty coming up, so hopefully we can make some noise in the future.”
