Gaynor case stalled by pandemic concerns By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor
Sports Editor Mike Smith tackles last weekend’s controversial play in the NFL playoff game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Cleveland Browns. For Smith’s Live Mike column, see page 15.
Westchester County Executive Latimer announces re-election bid Westchester County Executive George Latimer has announced his plans to seek re-election in the midst of a first term filled with fixing problems—both large and small. “When I took office in 2018, we inherited a County Government plagued with fiscal mismanagement, budget gimmicks, and stalled projects,” Latimer, a Democrat, said. “You entrusted me to fix these issues—and together we have. Now, Westchester is facing an entirely new set of challenges—social injustices that have long been swept under the
rug and economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic just to name a few—and I am once again asking for your vote so we can face these challenges head on.” When Covid-19 struck Westchester County first, Latimer was a calming presence—providing the public with factual information through daily updates and announcements of programs aimed to protect public health and lessen the impact on families, schools and small businesses. Latimer, who lives in Rye, is proud to run on the progress made over the last 3 years. Prog-
ress which includes the reopening of Sprain Ridge Pool in Yonkers, fixing the historic Miller House in North White Plains, building a new New Rochelle Family Court, and making real, tangible progress on the long-awaited new Memorial Field in Mount Vernon—all while cutting property taxes for two consecutive years while maintaining and expanding essential services. During Latimer’s first three years in office—he was elected in 2017—Westchester stabilized its finances while passing progressive legislation advanc-
ing the county’s core values. Unlike politics as usual, Latimer has built strong connections with every local municipal government and the county Board of Legislators—relationships which helped the county’s swift response at the height of the pandemic. Latimer is seeking a second term following his proposal, and the County Board’s passage, of a twoterm limit for county executives.

Amid a recent coronavirus spike and a shakeup in law firms, the legal proceedings against alleged sexual abuser Edwin “Ted” Gaynor have stalled somewhat in the recent weeks, says one lawyer familiar with the cases. Scott Papp, an attorney at Lowey Dannenberg, P.C.—a White Plains law firm that had been handling 29 Child Victims Act lawsuits leveled against Gaynor, the Archdiocese of New York, and Gaynor’s former employers at several local parishes—explained that progress on the cases has stalled as counsel for both sides await further instruction from the courts and Associate New York State Supreme Justice Hon. Steven M. Jaeger. “With Covid flaring up, there has been a real worry that the courts would shut down again,” Papp said. “There’s been kind of a holding pattern for the last few weeks.” According to Papp, concerns about the coronavirus—and the 85-year-old Gaynor’s health— prompted Jaeger to dismiss a motion filed by the plaintiffs on Dec. 7, 2020, requesting that Gaynor be arrested by the Westchester County Sheriff’s Department on Jan. 14, 2021, should he fail to agree to a appear for a deposition before that date. The denial was sent via email to counsel for both the plaintiffs and defendants but was not entered into the court docket. Since November 2019, 33 accusers have come forward with allegations of abuse against Gaynor, alleging that the Ossining
resident used his position as a teacher and basketball coach at area Catholic schools to sexually assault minors from 1959 to 1987. Gaynor has twice been held in contempt of court for his failure to comply with court orders regarding a deposition. On Nov. 20, 2020, Jaeger levied a $250-perday fine against Gaynor until he agreed to be deposed. As of press time, Gaynor has incurred $14,750 worth of fines for his unwillingness to testify, although he did admit to molesting two of his former students at IHM in handwritten letters from 2019 that have been admitted into evidence. Papp says it is unlikely that Gaynor will ever be forced to make restitution to the courts. “The fines are basically theoretical,” he told the Review. A compliance hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 26, during which time Jaeger will likely map out the future schedule of the case and address any concerns introduced by counsel. One noticeable difference when the case resumes is that the firm of Lowey Dannenberg P.C. will likely no longer be involved in the proceedings. On Jan. 4, Barbara Hart, the Lowey Dannenberg president who filed the first lawsuit against Gaynor in 2019 on behalf of David B. Fox, announced that she was stepping away from the company to join the New York City-based firm of Grant & Eisenhofer P.A. As of press time, 26 of the 29 clients formerly represented by Hart at Lowey Dannenberg have agreed to have their cases handled by her new firm. CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

policies and the county has organized a task force for reimagining policing in Westchester County and local governments are also undertaking an examination of local police. This forum was co-hosted by

Nominations needed for 2021 public health awards Shelley Mayer
By NINA RECIO Contributor After a week of unprecedented upheaval in our nation, local legislators New York State Sen. Shelley Mayer, New York State Assemblyman Steve Otis and Westchester County Legislator Catherine Parker spoke, via Zoom, at the Local Summit’s first program of 2021 on Tuesday, Jan. 12. The panelists acknowledged their deep concern for the potential dangers now confronting the nation after last week’s assault on the Capitol and discussed the safety measures being taken at their respective legislatives houses to protect legislators and staff from both potential acts of violence and Covid-19. These measures include remote participation in legislative sessions and committee meetings and social distancing. Mayer expressed her confidence in the security being provided by state police. Notwithstanding their concerns for the safety and welfare of the nation and state, as well as themselves, our legislators displayed a preparedness and appetite to tackle the persistent problems facing our state and local communities as a result of the events of this past year. There was agreement among the legislators that the priority is to address the impact of the pandemic and to improve the rollout of the Covid-19 vaccine, which has not been as smooth as desired. The panelists also noted that the pandemic’s impact was disproportionately affecting poor people and people of color, underscoring the inequities in our society. Among the efforts cited by the panelists to help New Yorkers, particularly its lower income citizens, is the extension of the eviction moratorium until May 2021. In order to take advantage of this program a tenant must certify
Steve Otis
that the hardship is Covid-related. Otis advised that financial assistance also is available to small landlords. Additionally, Parker reported that the county has allotted money for a study on legislation that would provide “right-tocounsel” in eviction proceedings, similar to a law which currently exists in New York City. The study should be completed within the first six months of the year, according to Parker. Mayer mentioned a proposal for free broadband for every child in the state to ensure equal access to education. The panelists were clear that the pandemic has had an enormous adverse economic impact on the state. The speakers reported that all revenues, but especially New York City revenues (“the engine of the state”) are way down resulting in a significant state budget shortfall that will affect county and local municipalities. This has resulted in the suspension of all state grant programs, such as clean water infrastructure. The panelists were united in expressing the need for federal assistance but also expressed optimism that this would be a priority of the incoming Biden administration and, hopefully, the aid would arrive quickly as New York has an April budget deadline. Also of concern to the panelists was the difficulties confronting the restaurant and food service industries due to the pandemic. Otis explained how the problems manifest in several ways. In addition to a restaurant’s limited ability to serve patrons, many restaurants have been subjected to abuse by food delivery services, described by Otis as “hostage-taking.” This occurs when a delivery service charges the restaurant an exorbitant percentage for the delivery of orders and/or creates the appearance online of a special relationship with a restaurant where none in fact exists. Otis reported that
Catherine Parker
some delivery services would download old menus with incorrect offerings and prices, to the detriment of the restaurant. He said that legislation was recently passed to address this problem. Restaurant employees also face particular difficulties, according to Mayer, as many are “excluded” workers, ineligible for unemployment benefits. Many of those employees turn to non-profits for assistance. Otis would like to see aid to those non-profits prioritized since they are keeping many others afloat. Parker, who is the co-chair of the county Pandemic Reopening Task Force, reported that the county has already passed its budget and was able to continue all services. It is now looking towards passing additional legislation to help small business owners and start-ups. The panelists were clear that there are other issues also vying for legislative attention. The county recently voted to appropriate money to improve Mamaroneck’s wastewater treatment center. Flooding in Mamaroneck is also on the minds of the legislators. The Army Corps of Engineers plan to address flooding had bi-partisan support and had been green-lighted, but it was halted under the Trump administration which determined that the project didn’t pass the cost-benefit test. The legislators were hopeful that U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer would be able to secure the needed funds and restart the project. Among the other matters of concern to the legislators are voting rights and police conduct. Otis stated that we need more polling places for early voting and more resources to facilitate voting and process votes. Parker indicated that this issue is part of a package of priority legislation. With respect to policing, the governor has issued an executive order requiring a comprehensive review of police procedures and
The Westchester County Board of Health is now seeking nominations for the 2021 Public Health Service Awards. The board wants to recognize adults, young people and not-for-profit programs whose volunteer efforts have demonstrated creativity and compassion in response to the Covid-19 pandemic and who helped improve public health in Westchester. The board encourages community leaders, healthcare professionals, educators and residents to nominate worthy people or programs by Feb. 9 using the nomination forms at www.westchestergov.com/health. “Adults, teenagers and organizations have stepped up in unprecedented ways to help others during the public health crisis we are experiencing,” said county Board of Health President Dr. Robert Baker. “This year, the Board wants to shine a light on Covid-related volunteerism. By recognizing these extraordinary people and programs, we hope to
inspire others to join our efforts to promote and protect public health in Westchester.” The Dr. Harold Keltz Distinguished Public Health Service Award is presented annually to a person or community-based organization, whose efforts have made an extraordinary contribution to the public health of Westchester residents but who is not professionally engaged in public health work. The J.R. Tesone Youth Public Health Service Award is an annual award to a student up to age 21 for his or her creative contribution to public health in Westchester. The award was created in 2014 in memory of J.R. Tesone, a Board of Health member with a lifelong commitment to Westchester children. The board also will highlight the compassion, creativity and commitment demonstrated by a select group of nominees, who will be named Public Health Honorees. These awards will be an-
nounced and presented in April to spotlight National Public Health Week, and the honorees and their achievements will be featured on the health department’s web pages. Recent youthful winners have promoted youth awareness of the dangers of vaping; advocated for restrictions on tobacco sales; promoted awareness of the opioid crisis on campus or increased sustainability and Earth Day programming; advocated for children affected by cancer or created an app to foster communication between teens with Type 1 diabetes. Adult volunteers were recognized recently for promoting awareness of mental health and addiction among young people, promoting the construction and preservation of affordable housing and advocating for comprehensive mental health care for low-income residents. Non-profit programs also have been selected for their work to reduce health disparities, improve health literacy and improve access to care. (Submitted)

Upon taking office in 2018, Westchester County Executive George Latimer made it a priority to strengthen and revitalize the Westchester County Human Rights Commission, HRC,—a commission he helped to found during his time serving on the county Board of Legislators. On Jan. 19, Latimer is proud to announce that the HRC’s Fair Housing Assistance Program partnership with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, HUD, has been recer-
tified for five more years. This extended partnership allows for the county to continue to

under the leadership of Executive Director Tejash Sanchala, Deputy Director Valerie Daniele
and Fair Housing Director Joshua Levin, has worked immensely hard to restore the Commission,” Latimer said. “This partnership is another example of the fruits of their labor and will afford us even more opportunities to come up with creative solutions to solve some of our community’s most pressing issues.” As local governments nationwide are dealing with the budgetary fallout due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Latimer is finding ways to provide the services needed by residents without adding additional strain to taxpayers. The County’s HRC applied for and re-
ceived two grants from HUD for a total amount exceeding $46,000. “This is a tremendous victory for the Commission and the County,” said Human Rights Commission Executive Director Tejash Sanchala. “With this renewed partnership, the County can continue to access the resources of the federal government to benefit our residents. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of ensuring fair housing for all and combatting housing discrimination. We are proud to continue this important work.” The first grant awards the HRC $12,500 in “Partnership Funds”

Fans ‘pylon’ the touchback rule debate LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
Sports have always been a fertile breeding ground for debate. As long as sports have been around, arguments about said sports have dominated the social discourse. Discussions regarding the relative merits of certain players, coaches and franchises are essentially the driving force behind the entirety of sports-talk media—a lucrative industry in its own right. But during Sunday afternoon’s AFC Divisional game between the Chiefs and Browns, a particular play transpired that brought a new topic to the forefront of the sports water-cooler; namely, rules. Now, don’t get me wrong, people argue over rules all the time. But most of those debates stem from scenarios where existing rules have been taken off the books in favor of new ones. Most
recently, Major League Baseball has dealt with blowback for instituting extra-innings speed up rules and for toying with the idea of a universal designated hitter. But it is much rarer to watch fans of a particular sport take sides on a rule that has been around, well, forever. For those who didn’t watch the clash between Cleveland and Kansas City, the Browns had a chance to turn a 19-3 ballgame into a one-score contest when wideout Rashard Higgins caught a pass and galloped towards the endzone. Attempting to beat Chiefs defender Danny Sorensen to the goal line, Higgins dove towards the pylon, arms outstretched, and was nailed by Sorensen, who dislodged the ball from Higgins’ hands. The ball rolled forward and then out of the side of the end zone. Instead of a first and goal on the one for the Browns, it was ruled a touchback, as per NFL rules. The Chiefs recovered possession of the ball on their own 20 yard-line, and the

Browns lost their best chance to put a little pressure on the defending Super Bowl champions. As I’ve mentioned before, an offensive fumble out of the opposing end zone has always been a loss of possession and a touchback. That’s nothing new. But for some reason, this particular call struck a nerve with athletes, fans and pundits alike. Former Browns offensive lineman Joe Thomas called the touchback rule “the worst” rule in football. CBS analyst Boomer Esiason—a former quarterback—called the punitive nature of the rule “very extreme.” Defensive players, on the other hand, were quick to point out that the rule has been in place for a while. Patriots safety Devin McCourty took to Twitter on Saturday night to imply that Higgins should have known better than to extend his arms for the extra yard. “Every guy who played for [New England head coach] Bill [Belichick] started screaming at the tv ‘DON’T REACH IT,”

he tweeted. Nearly everyone I’ve talked to in the days since is in one camp or the other; either they believe the rule is dumb, or they maintain that Higgins
should have known better. But regardless of the tumult, one thing is certain; the Browns won’t be playing for the AFC title and Higgins will have an eternity to replay the play in his mind.
And for sports fans, as always; the debate rages on.
