It is deeply meaningful to share these sculptures at the Jay Heritage Center, a place rooted in the history of American diplomacy. Here, they connect the story of our modern embassies abroad with John Jay’s legacy as a statesman at home and diplomat abroad. — Jorge Otero-Pailos
<h3>About the Work</h3>
Analogue Sites is a series of steel sculptures by Spanish-American artist and preservationist Jorge Otero-Pailos, created in 2019 from fencing salvaged during the preservation of the U.S. Embassy in Oslo, designed by Finnish-American modernist master Eero Saarinen. Otero-Pailos transformed this material as a way of preserving its layered history and drawing attention to the U.S. Embassy Program—an unprecedented Cold War–era initiative by the State Department that made modernist architecture and the arts central to American diplomacy abroad. These sculptures raise awareness of these embassies at a time when they are being decommissioned and left with little to no preservation protection.
At the Jay Heritage Center, two works are placed symmetrically in the restored garden parterres, framing the central path. Their mirrored placement reflects themes of balance and reciprocity central to diplomacy and honors John Jay’s historic missions to Spain, France, and England, and his role as a founding figure in American diplomacy.
Sculptures from this series have been exhibited in New York on Park Avenue; in London at Regent’s Park and at Winfield House, the residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom; and in Washington, D.C., at the National Museum of American Design.

Otero-Pailos is an internationally recognized New York–based artist, architect, and preservationist known for his monumental casts of historical buildings. He has exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Venice Art Biennale and the British Parliament, and his works are held in major museum collections. Otero-Pailos also teaches and directs the Historic Preservation program at Columbia University GSAPP.

Does your child love to read and write stories? Or do you know a child who does?&nbsp; September 19th is the kickoff date for the fall 2026 series of Saturday morning Kids Short Story Connection workshops.&nbsp;Thirty-three years ago, the first KSSC workshop was held in the Greenburgh&nbsp;Library. Today, the Kids Short Story Connection meets at Greenburgh&nbsp;Town Hall (as well as over the Zoom platform). Young writers are assigned to workshops according to age and writing levels. This separation ensures that young writers meet in our round-table sessions with their appropriate writing peers. The six, two-hour workshops are led by published authors/teachers. Each workshop has no more than 10 participants. This ensure that there is enough time for writing and sharing of work written during the workshop sessions.&nbsp;
The two in-person workshops for kids between 9 and 14 meet at Greenburgh Town Hall on Saturday&nbsp;mornings from 10 am until 12 noon. The workshop for advanced writers 14 and over meets over the Zoom platform from 1:30 - 3:30 pm. Every season, new students leave the building smiling - excitedly telling their parents how much they enjoyed their first class. Many young writers join KSSC when they're nine and remain active with the project until they enter college. KSSC teachers marvel at the creative abilities of their young students and take pride in nurturing their growth. A love of writing is the only prerequisite for joining KSSC.&nbsp; Many participants even have their work published while still in our workshops. As the creator and manager of KSSC, I'm proud of graduates who come back in their&nbsp;20's and 30's to tell me how KSSC nurtured their writing skills and&nbsp;gave them a community that helped prepared them to pursue careers where good writing matters.
All of our graduates don't go on to pursue professional writing careers. But all of them who stay with KSSC thrive as writers. KSSC's Hall of Fame includes playwrights, songwriters, lawyers, writing teachers, journalists, program directors. The list goes on and on. One graduate, an independent film writer/director, had his third independent film premier at the Cannes Film Festival this past June, 
The registration fee is $165 for six two-hour workshops. (For Greenburgh residents, it's $135.)&nbsp; Contact Sarahbracey.white@gmail.com for more info.

Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh's Gayatri Shakha Hosts Guru Vandana 2026 Honoring Educators in Ardsley, NY

Gayatri Shakha, a New York chapter of Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS), USA, hosted its annual Guru Vandana (Teacher Appreciation Program) on June 13, 2026, in Ardsley, New York, recognizing the invaluable contributions of educators from various school districts across Westchester County.
The event was organized in collaboration with the Hindu Education Foundation (HEF), an educational initiative of HSS that works with educators and students to enrich understanding of Hindu culture and traditions in America. More than 100 guests attended the program, including teachers, students, parents, community members, and local dignitaries.
Rooted in the Hindu tradition of honoring teachers, Guru Vandana celebrates the role of the Guru as one who imparts knowledge, nurtures learning, and dispels ignorance. Hindu culture places great emphasis on expressing gratitude and respect toward teachers for their profound contributions to individuals and society.
Twenty-three teachers from various Westchester County school districts, including Ardsley, Eastchester, and Irvington, attended the event after being personally invited by students who participate in HSS activities in the Ardsley area.
A special highlight of the program was the presence of New York State Assemblymenber MaryJane Shimsky, Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins, and Ardsley Board of Education Trustee Dr. Vikas Agrawal. The dignitaries were felicitated by the students and expressed their appreciation to HSS for the opportunity to participate in honoring teachers through this traditional Hindu celebration.
The program commenced with the traditional Hindu ceremony of lighting the lamp, symbolizing the triumph of knowledge over ignorance, followed by the recitation of the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. Students then presented a 10-minute skit exploring common questions about Hinduism, including its diverse forms of worship, philosophical traditions, and respect for all beliefs. The presentation provided teachers with a deeper understanding of Hinduism and offered insight into the cultural backgrounds of their students.
The centerpiece of the celebration was the Guru Puja, during which students expressed their gratitude by honoring teachers with a traditional tilak and seeking their blessings.
Guest speaker Atharva Gokhale of HSS spoke about the unique bond between teachers and students in India and the significance of the Guru in Hindu culture. Drawing from his own experiences, he shared stories of teachers who influenced and shaped his life, helping guide him toward a successful future.
The event concluded with a dinner featuring traditional Indian cuisine, providing an opportunity for teachers, families, and community members to connect and celebrate together. Through Guru Vandana, HSS and HEF continue their commitment to fostering respect for educators and strengthening the bonds among schools, families, and the broader community.
Hindu Dharma teaches that a teacher creates, sustains, and imparts knowledge while dispelling ignorance. For this reason, teachers are honored with deep humility and heartfelt gratitude. For time immemorial, Hindus have emphasized the importance of the teacher, or Guru, and have recognized their contributions at every opportunity. As imparters of knowledge and removers of ignorance, teachers hold a place of great esteem in Hindu culture. Through Guru Vandana (Salutations to Teachers), we express our gratitude to educators for their immense service to society.
