County partners with ArtsWestchester to celebrate Juneteenth Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, Jubilee Day, Jun Jun and Liberation Day, is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the U.S. In 2021, it is being recognized as an official New York State holiday. Westchester County, ArtsWestchester, the Westchester African American Advisory Board, White Plains Juneteenth Heritage Inc. and the Juneteenth Committees of Mt. Vernon, Peekskill, Yonkers and Irvington have partnered up to celebrate Juneteenth Countywide. “Juneteenth is a day to cel-

ebrate freedom,” County Executive George Latimer said. “Freedom from oppression, freedom to be thrive, freedom to just be free. We recognize this freedom has too easily been denied for too long. Take this day to educate yourself about its true meaning and join us Countywide to celebrate that true, powerful meaning.” Added Janet Langsam, ArtsWestchester CEO, “We are particularly proud to have collaborated with so many of the tradition keepers of Juneteenth’s call to remember—Westchester’s many African American

organizations and Juneteenth committees—in order to create a comprehensive calendar of Juneteenth events in Westchester.” Below is a list of celebrations in the month-long series of Juneteenth activities in Westchester:

Bedford June 19: Idea Committee of Bedford will present Juneteenth: Freedom Day at Bedford Village Memorial Park. This outdoor event will discuss the history of Juneteenth and Bedford’s Black history told by members

of the community, with performances by Asase Yaa Cultural Arts Foundation and live jazz by Shirazette and Sonic Wallpaper Band. 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Idea Committee of Bedford is also challenging Elementary, Middle and High School students to create a poster that depicts the inventive ways African Americans advocated for, and ensured, their own freedom. Posters must be dropped off on June 5 or June 12 between 10 a.m.-3 p.m. at Katonah Space. JUNETEENTH continued on page 10

On June 10, at approximately 11:02 p.m., New Rochelle police officers observed an occupied, parked vehicle on Crescent Avenue. The officers knew the identity of one of the occupants and knew that he had an outstanding warrant for criminal contempt that occurred on May 15. Subsequent investigation resulted in the recovery of a loaded .9mm handgun with a 30-round extended magazine, along with a bag of 30 rounds of .9mm ammunition from the vehicle. The following suspects were arrested: Wilmer Maldonado, 20, of New Rochelle; charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the second degree and Unlawful Possession of Certain Ammunition Feeding Devices-Not in Home. Janetti Oceguera-Coyt, 20, of New Rochelle; charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the second degree and Unlawful Possession of Certain Ammunition Feeding Devices- Not in Home. Daniel Barcenas, 20, of New Rochelle; charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the second degree; Unlawful Possession of Certain Ammunition Feeding Devices- Not in Home;

Criminal Contempt in the second degree-Disobey Court Order and Aggravated Harassment. Abel Coyt, 35, of New Rochelle; charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon in the second degree and Unlawful Possession of Certain Ammunition Feeding Devices- Not in Home. Further investigation by New Rochelle police detectives resulted in Coyt, Maldonado and Barcenas being charged with Attempted Murder in the second degree and Reckless Endangerment in the first degree in connection with an incident which occurred on April 30 at 11:35 p.m. in the vicinity of Union Avenue and Fourth Street, in which shots were fired by Coyt into a moving vehicle. Additionally, a warrant was filed on Jair Barcenas, 18, of New Rochelle, charging him with Attempted Murder in the second degree and Reckless Endangerment in the first degree in connection with the April 30 shooting. It is anticipated that he will be booked on June 14, after press time. It is believed that the handgun, recovered during the arrest of the four above suspects, is the same handgun used by Coyt during the April 30 incident. (Submitted)

COVID-19 wastewater treatment study updated As of mid-May, the trends from a nearly year-long COVID-19 study at all seven Westchester County Wastewater Treatment plants collectively continue to decrease significantly week after week. These levels are as low as they were in mid-September of last year. Since early in the pandemic, the Westchester County Department of Environmental Facilities, DEF, has partnered with the City University of New York, CUNY, to study the wastewater at county treatment plants to better understand the impact of COVID-19 on large urban areas. “These trends, as a part of this forward thinking study, continue to show a positive outlook on our war against COVID,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “I commend the work of our Environmental Facilities Department and the scientists they partnered with to help monitor the health of Westchester residents during this unprecedented time.” Below are the SARS-CoV-2 RNA laboratory results from the 24-hour composite collected on

May 16, 2021. Results were obtained for each of the seven sewer sheds. The week of May 16 results (copies per capita) are compared to the previous week’s results for Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mamaroneck, Peekskill, Ossining, Port Chester and Blind Brook. Decreases were seen in six of the seven sewer sheds. While Ossining, despite showing an increase, from a statistical standpoint remained very low. These numbers collectively continue to decrease signifi-

cantly week after week. These levels are as low as they were in mid-September of last year. As a reminder, 20,000 copies per liter or lower can be considered background or “noise” from a statistical standpoint; the limit of quantitation from our laboratory is 15,000 copies/L and the limit of detection is 4,500 copies/L. Therefore, only Yonkers is showing numbers of any significance, but improving and approaching the low level of detection. (Submitted)

EXERCISE for WOMEN OVER 65

It’s no secret that as people age it often gets more difficult to move freely, but consider this statistic: 1 in 4 women over 65 is unable to walk two blocks or climb a flight of stairs, according to a new study from researchers at UC San Diego published in the journal JAMA Network Open. Light-intensity exercise like walking and gardening can help preserve older women’s ability to live free of mobility disability. “All movement counts if you want to maintain mobility, not just moderate-to-vigorous exercise,” said first author Nicole Glass, a doctoral candidate in the San Diego State University/UC San Diego joint doctoral program in public health. Researchers found that women who spent the most time performing light-intensity physical activity had a 46% lower risk of mobility loss compared to women who participated in lower levels of physical activity. Similar results were observed among white, Black and Latina women. Women with and without obesity also reduced their risk of mobility disability, but the benefit was strongest among women with a body mass index of less than 30. Light-intensity physical activity is often overlooked as a form of exercise, said co-author John Bellettiere, professor of epidemiology at UC San Diego’s Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science. Light-intensity ac-

tivity includes things like walking from the car to the store, getting up and making a cup of tea, or standing and emptying the dishwasher. “These movements accumulate,”Bellettiere said. Current activity guidelines for Americans do not consider light-intensity activities, which don’t cause a person to breathe heavily or sweat, he said. The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend that adults who are generally fit with no limiting health conditions should do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week or at least 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic physical activity throughout the week, or an equivalent combination of moderateand vigorous-intensity activity. For many older adults those suggested guidelines are out of reach, said senior author Andrea LaCroix, professor and chief of the division of epidemiology at UC San Diego’s Wertheim School. Perhaps the guidelines need to take into account that the energy cost of movement increases with age, she said. This study may help shift the paradigm. “The beauty of this study is that it takes this [the increased effort of exercise as a person ages] into account, and gives older women credit for the movement they do,” Bellettiere said. “Light-intensity activity is beneficial. It increases mobility.” Study participants wore a research-grade accelerometer, but anyone who can afford a fitness tracking wearable can keep track of their movement. “Once you are aware of your movement, you have a tendency to increase it,” Bellettiere said. “Every move you make is beneficial. It helps you move more, which is critical to maintaining your independence. Keep moving,” Glass said.

Playing to the crowd LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

There was a cool moment on Saturday afternoon following Rye’s 11-7 Class B sectional title game win over Yorktown that has stuck with me in the days afterwards. After the Garnet players accepted their championship plaque at midfield of Nugent Stadium, a horde of the town’s youth lacrosse players crowded the sidelines, clamoring for autographs and handshakes from their high school heroes. The eager youngsters mobbed UNC-bound junior Caden Whaling and face-off specialist Johnny Hartzell, excitedly remarking on how much they admired the Section I champions and hoped they’d live up to their idols’ legacies in the coming years. Whaling and his teammates indulged their fans, signing la-

crosse balls and shirts, answering questions about the day’s game, fully cognizant of how much it meant, not only to the town but to the future of their sport. “There’s nothing more we could have asked for than to win it for them, so they can see how it feels and they can come out here and do the same thing,” Whaling told me. “It’s about building the culture and that’s what’s important to us.” The sentiment was a selfless one, but it also served as a reminder to me about the unifying ability of sports. During this pandemic year, which saw our high school student athletes play largely without spectators, it was easy to overlook how one great team or one great season can bring a community together. Too often over the last year, I looked at sports simply as an outlet for the athletes who had been cooped up in their houses for months while forgetting the place they hold for the public at large; as gathering spaces

and spectacles, as conversation starters between neighbors and pieces of a town’s very identity. These kids might not have been able to go to many Yankee games over the last 15 months, but they have been able to follow the exploits of their hometown heroes, which is just as special. It’s been a tough year for everyone; from the countless deaths to the quarantines and the disruption of our lives. There was a lot of fear, a lot of isolation, but things are starting to get back to normal. After a year of avoiding crowds at all costs, watching young sports fans lose their minds at a high school contest was a reminder about how important public gatherings and sports can be for the soul. Moments like that are the reason I do what I do. And I can’t wait to see even more in the fall.
