State ramps up efforts in COVID-19 fight
ON Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced during his daily press briefing that he will issue an executive order directing non-essential businesses to implement work-from-home policies effective Friday, March 20.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on March 18, the USNS Comfort will be deployed to New York harbor and is expected to arrive in April. The 1,000-bed hospital ship has 12 fully-equipped operating rooms and will significantly increase New York’s hospital surge capacity. The governor is meeting with leadership of the U.S. Army Corps. of Engineers today to discuss ways to increase hospital capacity in New York. The governor also announced he will issue an executive order directing non-essential busi-
nesses to implement work-fromhome policies effective Friday, March 20. Businesses that rely on in-office personnel must decrease their in-office workforce by 50 percent. The executive order exempts essential service industries, including shipping, media, warehousing, grocery and food production, pharmacies, healthcare providers, utilities, banks and related financial institutions, and other industries critical to the supply chain. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf is also joining the New York, New Jersey and Con-
necticut coalition to implement a regional approach to combatting COVID-19. The four governors announced indoor portions of retail shopping malls, amusement parks and bowling alleys in the four states will close by 8 p.m. Thursday, after press time—an expansion of the guidance that the three governors from the tri-state area issued Monday, March 16. The guidance limits crowd capacity for social and recreational gatherings to 50 people. The governors also announced restaurants
and bars would close for on premise service and move to take-out and delivery services only. The governors also temporarily closed movie theaters, gyms and casinos. “We are doing everything we can as states to reduce density and contain the spread of the virus,” Cuomo said. “It is critical that we remain on the same page as our neighboring states, and so far we are the only region in the country partnering to create uniform, regional density reduction policies that prevent ‘state shopping.’” (Submitted)
County, state call for retired medical professionals to help As we all face new realities going forward due to the coronavirus pandemic, Westchester County Executive George Latimer is calling on all available New York State Licensed nurses to step forward and once again work in service of your neighbors. The call applies to retired or currently non-working nurses in this time of great need. “The reality is we don’t have enough nurses to meet our current
demand—and that demand will only grow,” Latimer said. “We need you now more than ever— your expertise, your education, your experience—you.” Nurses will be utilized to assist at locations such as nursing homes, child care programs, congregate care facilities, senior buildings and other sites that serve vulnerable populations. Westchester County Department of Social Services will coordinate
the placements in partnership with the Department of Health. Those interested in serving the community in this capacity should contact Lindsay Jackson at lajc@westchestergov.com Additionally, the state is asking all recently retired health professionals (including doctors) to volunteer to act as reserve staff. These professionals are asked to complete this survey: https://apps. health.ny.gov/pubpal/builder/sur-
vey/retired-health-professional “If the surge of coronavirus cases reaches predicted levels as we saw in Italy, we need more testing, more beds, more ventilators, and more nurses and doctors,” Latimer said. “If you can contribute to the cause complete the survey above. We need you for what may be coming—and we thank you in advance for your service during this unprecedented time.” (Submitted)
County declares ‘State of Emergency’ to COVID-19 Standing outside the Michaelian Office Building, Westchester County Executive George Latimer declared a “State of Emergency” for the county. This will allow the county to take more expedient measures in response to COVID-19 pandemic currently facing our entire nation. “Our society faces a challenge ahead of us that can only be compared to what was faced when wartime provisions were enacted in our Nation,” Latimer said. “Like then, we will overcome this. It may not be overnight—but it will be together. We must ensure we are doing all we can do to protect all who live in this great County.” The State of Emergency Declaration and subsequent order reads in part: “All public and private schools situated in Westchester County shall be closed to all students and staff except for the performance of administrative, instructional, professional and classified staff functions as determined by each school or school district. Such functions may include the provision of meals as prescribed by law and subject to guidance by the New York State Department of Health and The New York State Education Department; “The Order includes schools providing approved educational programs as nonpublic schools with an approved special education program (Chapter 853 School) and Special Act School Districts provided that the residential program affiliated with such school and school districts licensed and/ or approved by a New York State
agency, such as the New York State Office of Children and Family Services, New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities, and New York State Office of Mental Health, are not impacted by the Order and are subject to directives issues by New York State.” “These are difficult times but we are all committed to support the needs of our communities,” said Ossining Schools Superintendent Dr. Ray Sanchez, who also serves as president of the Lower Hudson Council of School Superintendents. “School leaders understand the issues are complex and every day continue to evolve. But, we know that working together with our county [executive] will prepare us to respond to the unique challenges.” Following consultation with all 44 school districts in Westchester and current guidance from New York State, the order took effect on Wednesday March 18. “There are no precedents for the challenges we are presently facing,” White Plains Schools Superintendent Dr. Joseph Ricca said. “We are all committed to our children, our faculty/staff members and our communities. We recognize how important it is that we continue to support our families and our districts. We are blessed to have such a strong partnership with the County and County Executive Latimer, and we are grateful for the leadership that will allow us to support our communities through this event. Working together, we will meet the challenges that arise daily.” (Submitted)

Hudson Valley Restaurant Week Postponed
Spring Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, which was to on Monday, March 16, has officially been postponed.
Spring Hudson Valley Restaurant Week, which was to on Monday, March 16, has officially been postponed. Today Media, along with its advisory board of local restauranteurs, agree that this is a prudent step in consideration of the COVID-19 pandemic and New York State’s recent mandate restricting restaurant business. The annual celebration of restaurants throughout the Hudson Valley will take place at a later date. “This is a difficult time for all
restaurants, and we will continue to promote those that remain open for take-out, curbside pickup or delivery,” said Barbara Begley, marketing and communications manager for Today Media. “When the dust settles on this awful virus, we will begin planning our next restaurant week, celebrating the local restaurateurs, producers and artisans that make this region a culinary destination. Stay connected with us for updated information at valleytable.
com, @valleytable #HVRW. Started in 2006 by The Valley Table magazine, this biannual event promotes the chefs, restaurants, ingredients, farmers, artisanal producers, winemakers and purveyors based in the Hudson Valley region. Among the largest Restaurant Weeks in the country, more than 150 restaurants participate, offering specially priced lunches and dinners during the two-week event. (Submitted)

Consumer Protection helps residents impacted by virus
After learning that some businesses are choosing to refuse providing services to the people of New Rochelle, especially those in the one-mile containment zone outlined by New York State, the Westchester County Consumer Protection Department is making clear that any business discriminating against New Rochelle or Westchester consumers will be issued tickets under all applicable law.
After learning that some businesses are choosing to refuse providing services to the people of New Rochelle, especially those in the one-mile radius outlined by New York State, the Westchester County Consumer Protection Department is making clear that any business discriminating against New Rochelle or Westchester consumers will be issued tickets under all applicable law. Inspectors have been assigned to closely watch for any unconscionable trade practices that harm New Rochelle’s residents or any Westchester residents going forward. “We are one County—one community—and it is going to take all of us to overcome this crisis,” Westchester county Executive George Latimer said. “And make no mistake, we will.
To hear of businesses working under a completely opposite premise is unacceptable and we must not tolerate it.” Consumer Protection Director Jim Maisano added, “It’s outrageous that any business would avoid interacting with New Rochelle or Westchester during this crisis. If we identify any businesses discriminating against New Rochelle or Westchester consumers, our inspectors will investigate and issue appearance tickets to hold these unscrupulous businesses accountable. We will help educate businesses that such behavior is unacceptable in our County. We hope all residents will contact our office if they are treated improperly.” “It’s disgraceful for any busi-
ness to deny services to New Rochelle residents, so we’re teaming up with the County to protect our rights,” New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson said. “I am grateful for the excellent work of Westchester’s Consumer Protection Department, and, together, we will always stand up for our people.” If any New Rochelle or Westchester County consumer, especially those in the one-mile radius, believes they’ve been a victim of an unconscionable or deceptive trade practice by a business relating to the coronavirus, or for any other reason, please contact the county Consumer Protection Department by calling 995-2155 or sending an email to ConPro@westchestergov.com.

Letters to the Editor
Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade postponed
About Letters to the Editor
To the Editor: After much thought and consideration, The Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee has decided to postpone the annual parade, which was scheduled to be held on Sunday, March 22. The committee has discussed the ever-changing situation that is currently taking place and have prioritized the well-being of the valued members of the Sound Shore community. We look forward to marching down Mamaroneck Avenue to celebrate our 2020 grand marshall, Kate Bialo, in the near future. Kate would like to say to the Sound Shore community that,” We are in an unprecedented and challenging situation, not just in Westchester, but worldwide. I applaud our parade committee’s wise decision to postpone our event in the interest of public health. We look forward to celebrating better times with our Sound Shore neighbors with a rescheduled parade that will be the best ever.” We appreciate your patience as we chose a new date to celebrate our Irish heritage and the American immigrant experience. We will come through this together.

prominent Irish-American community leaders T he Westchester County Board of Legislators on Monday, March 16, celebrated three outstanding leaders—Claire O’Gara Grimes, ground-breaking female journalist, and former owner and publisher of the Irish Echo; William J. Powers, media personality, and the voice and face of the Peekskill St. Patrick’s Day Parade; and Thomas G. Tuffy, trustee of the County Sligo Social & Benevolent Association, and owner of TG Tuffy Interiors, Inc. in Yonkers—as part of the board’s annual Irish History and Heritage celebration. The annual celebration was kicked off by a lively performance by the Pipes and Drums of the Police Emerald Society of Westchester. In his opening remarks, Board Chairman Ben Boykin said, “There’s no separating the history of this County with the history of the Irish people in Westchester. Irish history in Westchester goes all the way back to the Colonial era. At that time, many of Westchester’s Irish residents came here as educators bringing their knowledge, intellect and a spirit of service to communities throughout this County, as spirit which persists today.” County Legislator Kitley Covill
presented the first proclamation to journalism trailblazer, Claire O’Gara Grimes. Covill said, “The Irish Echo is the voice of Irish America and I am so pleased to honor Claire O’Gara Grimes for having the courage to continue her husband’s legacy as publisher and owner of this vital media resource for so many years.” Grimes thanked the chairman and the board by saying, “thank you so much for allowing us to wave the Irish flag today and salute this wee country which has produced four Poet Laureates and five Nobel peace prize winners. While at the helm of the Irish Echo, I had the pleasure of chronicling Irish influence
around the world, and espousing faith, family and country which are at the heart of Irish culture.” County Legislator Colin Smith presented the second proclamation to Peekskill personality William J. Powers. “Mr. Powers has been a fixture in the Peekskill business community for many years, as well as a veteran member the St. Patrick’s Day Parade committee. I’ve personally known Bill for several years and have long admired his dedication to his community. He is a humble man who rarely seeks the spotlight, and most deserving of this recognition.” Powers recalled the bagpipes and firetrucks of the St. Patrick’s
Day parades of his childhood, and how much he has enjoyed celebrating his Irish heritage as parade announcer in Peekskill for the past 30 years. “The only time I missed being the announcer was the night I served as Grand Marshal, after which my mother said to me with tears in her eyes ‘This is the best night of my life’…,” Powers said. County Legislator David Tubiolo gave the third proclamation to Thomas G. Tuffy of Yonkers. “We have some very special people who help make our vibrant Irish community ‘home’ and one of these esteemed people, is none other than our very own Thomas G. Tuffy, who has truly demonstrated ‘meitheal’, which is Gaelic for helping one’s neighbor and giving back to the community,” Tubiolo said. Mr. Tuffy responded, “I am especially delighted to receive this honor along with Claire and Bill, who have done so much in their own communities. I accept this on behalf of my parents who are alive and well in County Sligo, and who instilled in me the value of contributing to the community and giving back. Thank you to my wife and children for supporting me and allowing me to serve…” (Submitted)

City updates residents on impacts of COVID-19
Besides asking that residents access services electronically whenever possible, Rye Mayor Josh Cohn is also asking that any resident wishing for in-person service first call the relevant city department and make arrangements.
Most municipalities in Westchester are now showing one or more cases. The city of Rye has one confirmed case. As the concept of “slowing and diminishing the wave” of anticipated cases has gained greater currency, your city finds itself faced with more difficult mandates from senior levels of government, some of which I mention below,” Rye Mayor Josh Cohn said. “Your city government recognizes how challenging
the day-to-day is becoming— with increasing health, family and financial concerns for many residents. We appreciate your cooperation and patience. The city of Rye is positioned to receive case reports from the county Department of Health, which in turn is coordinating with New York State. It is important that people who think they have been exposed to COVID-19 contact either state or county. Please call 866-5880195 or 211 to self-report. Access
to testing is still an issue, and it is obviously important that our health departments have all relevant information. The reporting process is subject to law, with the goal, among others, of protecting confidential health information. We must remain protective and supportive of any who have been exposed or are ill. The governor has ordered restaurants and bars (except for take-out and delivery), gyms and
casinos to be closed after 8 p.m. beginning on Monday, March 16. At the moment, the definition of “gym” for this purpose may be unclear, but I hope that those with facilities that are common-sensically relevant will take note.” The governor has asked local governments to reduce staff in the office. “Our staff is lean to begin with and substantially composed of “frontline” personnel. We will do our best to comply without substantially compromising services,” Cohn said. Most city services are available online and city staff is available by phone to answer any specific questions. The governor requests that social and recreational events be limited to not more than 50 persons for the next eight weeks. The president asks that we avoid groups of more than 10. These requests will have an effect on many events on the city’s spring calendar. Specific notices will follow as we sort through the impact. As expected, the county declared its State of Emergency, a formality that allowed some schools to close, but that otherwise has had no immediate effect. The city is taking the following related actions: -Emergency Services-If you
need to call for assistance from the Police Department, Fire Department or EMS, and if you are in self-quarantine, quarantine or otherwise believe you present any heightened risk of COVID-19 exposure, please explain that when you call. This will allow emergency personnel to take appropriate precautionary measures. -City Hall Services-Besides asking that residents access services electronically whenever possible, we now are also asking that any resident wishing for in-person service first call the relevant city department and make arrangements. This limitation does not apply to Police or Fire departments. -Board, Commission and Committee Meetings-Please take note that all city board, commission and committee meetings for the next two weeks are postponed until their next scheduled meeting. - Although recreational fields, tennis courts and open spaces will remain open for now, the city’s playgrounds and skate park will be closed. -Rye Golf Club will open on Thursday, March 19, as scheduled, but indoor facilities will be limited and some restrictions will apply. Specific information on fa-
cility changes will be communicated to members this week. -Rye City Court is closed by order of the state Office of Court Administration. Matters will be adjourned or referred to White Plains, with online services available for certain purposes. Please go to the following link for more information: https://ww2.nycourts.gov/courts/9jd/emergency. shtml “I understand that none of this is welcome news,” Cohn said. “Previously, I asked that we all take special care of those most at risk, the elderly and those with certain pre-existing conditions. I repeat that request and ask as well that we all take special care of each other—recognizing that we are all carrying the burden of these unusual times.” Some residents may choose to self-quarantine. Others may not. Let’s please respect each other’s choices and, above all, remain calm. It may be helpful once again to remember the reports we continue to receive of favorable outcomes for most who become ill. At the same time we must be conscious of the risk to those who are particularly vulnerable and take additional steps to protect them. (Submitted)

MetLife Foundation donates $200K to Westchester food bank
MetLife Foundation announced today that it is donating $200,000 to Feeding Westchester to help deal with increased demand for their services as a result of coronavirus.
MetLife Foundation announced on March 17 that it is donating $200,000 to Feeding Westchester to help deal with increased demand for their services as a result of coronavirus. Food banks face the challenge of getting shelf-stable food into people’s homes as quickly as possible, especially now that vulnerable populations such as the elderly have been advised to practice social distancing. In addition, food banks face greater need from families with children who no longer have access to meals at schools. “We want to help those impacted by coronavirus,” said Mike Zarcone, head of Corporate Affairs for MetLife and Chairman of MetLife Foundation. “That
includes the communities in New York where we work and live. We know that children out of school and seniors face food insecurity as a result of COVID-19, and we are committed to help.” Feeding Westchester serves areas where COVID-19 has hit the hardest, including New Rochelle. The organization has requested funds to rent additional trucks, purchase fuel, purchase shelf-stable food, and move that food into homes across the county. “Right now, half a million pounds of good, nutritious food is on its way to Feeding Westchester for our hungry neighbors throughout the county,” said Matthew Honeycutt, vice president of development for Feeding Westchester. “Before the height of the
outbreak, we anticipated greater need during this very unique situation and mobilized additional resources, including from Feeding America and other partners. We are working hard to get food into people’s homes now.” Westchester County Executive George Latimer added, “We are all concerned about the impact that COVID-19 could have on the health and well-being of our residents. Many of our populations who are at a greater risk of food insecurity are our seniors and children who are out of school. We are extremely grateful to our friends at the MetLife Foundation for their generous donation to help feed those who are hungry throughout Westchester County.” (Submitted)

A port in the storm LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
On March 14, when it was announced that Rick Pitino had accepted the head coaching job at Iona College, I couldn’t help but think that this was the best, most important sports news I’d heard in quite some time. But it’s not because I’m a huge fan of Pitino or an avid supporter of the MAC powerhouse Gaels. It’s for the simple reason that, for the first time in a week, we got some honest-to-goodness news that was actually about sports. As the coronavirus pandemic has upended our lives over the last week, the sports news cycle has taken a dramatic—yet, in the grand scheme of everything else that has happened, unimportant—hit. With professional sports leagues shutting down, and no word yet as to when play will resume, there’s been a dearth of sports content to discuss which is
troubling to me, both professionally and personally. Like most Americans, my first instinct when it comes to coronavirus is worrying about the health of my family and friends, notably those who suffer from compromised immune systems or those, like my parents, who are over 65 years of age. But like millions around the country, I’m also worried about the global— and local—economic impact of the virus. Small local companies all around the area are dealing with a dire situation and millions of workers are unsure if jobs they once thought of as secure will still be around when this pandemic finally starts to subside. I mean, I’m a sportswriter, and with no sports to write about, where will I be if the status quo is upended for weeks, or even months? In times of crisis, it’s natural for people to look for some form of escapism. And for millions of Americans, sports have always been a sort of port in the storm.
In times of national strife, such as after the attacks of Sept. 11, people looked to sports as a means of healing, a way to forget—if only for a few hours—the great hardships facing our nation and our communities. But over the last week, there has been no news coming out of the sports world, save for updates on cancellations or notices about players who have contracted coronavirus, that could draw the discussion, if only for a short time, away from the most pressing news story of the last 19 years. So, when I heard that Pitino was coming to Iona, I have to admit that it was a welcome diversion. I got to tune-in to WFAN to listen to talk-radio hosts debate the signing and what it meant for college basketball and Pitino’s own legacy. I got to hear pundits break down the Gaels’ returning roster and the tremendous undertaking the two-time NCAA champion coach has in terms of the recruiting process. Basically, it felt like

any other day in America. Pitino may never lead Iona to national prominence, but just listening to people discuss that
possibility provided at least a moment of respite in a scary, uncertain time. And it reminded me why sports are so important in
the first place.

very conflicted about it because schools and businesses hadn’t been shut down yet, they had played the regional semifinals on Wednesday, and this was going just to be five-on-five in a gym with no spectators,” he said. “But once everything got shut down, I think it shows that they made the right decision in
trying to contain this.” But even understanding the decision did little to quell Aguilar’s disappointment as he watched the high school careers of his seniors—a group that was responsible for capturing Rye’s first Section I title in 31 years— come to an end. “Johnson City is a tough team
and they certainly could have beaten us, but it’s one thing for a season to end that way, as opposed to the way it did,” he said. “Even though they finished the season with a win, there’s no closure, and I think they deserved that.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor As the spread of the coronavirus has continued to disrupt nearly every facet of American life over the last week, it should come as no surprise that the Section I spring athletics season is no exception. With public schools in the area closed indefinitely, Section I Executive Director Todd Santabarbara released a statement on March 16 announcing that all interscholastic athletic programs are to halt all practices, scrimmages and games until the impact of COVID-19 can be reassessed on March 30. But while the pandemic is threatening to put an end to the spring season before it begins, it also forced several local winter teams to give up on their quest for state titles last week. One such squad was the Class A Section I boys basketball champion Rye Garnets, whose season came to an abrupt end on March 12 when the New York State Public High School Athletics Association, NYSPHSAA,
decided to postpone all winter season championships indefinitely. At the time of the cancelation, the Garnets were preparing for a March 13 regional final showdown against Section IV champ Johnson City at SUNY Purchase. Prior to the cancelation, the NYSPHSAA toyed with other ideas to contain the spread of the virus, such as barring all spectators from the venue. “We knew that cancelation was a possibility, but up until the moment we found out, we heard the game was still going to be on,” Rye head coach John Aguilar said. “We drove up to Binghamton on Wednesday to watch Johnson City play New Paltz, wrote up the whole scouting report and were ready to get to work on Thursday when we found out. The kids were devastated.” Although Aguilar acknowledged that cancelation of the tournament was ultimately the right call, he admitted that it was a difficult decision to process in the moment. “I think at that time we felt
