Horse patrol is coming to Clearwater

Soon Clearwater residents might  hear the clip-clop of horses’ hooves now that the city council has approved a plan allowing a new mounted patrol.

Reserve police officers and volunteers — as opposed to those among the rank and file — will ride the animals. While they will have arrest powers, they won’t use them unless “immediate intervention is necessary to prevent great bodily harm or death during an in-progress violent offense,” the proposal said.

The horses will be used for activities like patrolling shopping center parking lots during the holidays and watching parks where police have received complaints about men meeting for sex, said Elizabeth Watts, spokeswoman for Clearwater Public Safety.

“We just want to be able to have a more consistent presence out there in those wooded areas that aren’t as easy to reach or patrol routinely,” Watts said.

The fifth annual Port Chester Community Health Fair

PORT CHESTER — Diabetes, obesity and hypertension were among the targets today as hundreds gathered in the village to learn about health and have fun.

The fifth annual Port Chester Community Health Fair included healthy activities like zumba, tai chi and yoga as well as dozens of informational kiosks pertaining to specific areas such as female health or quitting smoking.

Many visitors came to the fair’s two chiropractic kiosks where they were screened for back problems and given advice about spinal care.

“Not a lot of people know about chiropractic and exactly what we do,” said Azbie Dauti, a chiropractic assistant for Dr. Tany R. Sutera of White Plains. “A lot of people have been coming up to saying they have pain and we test them.”
