Latimer reaffirms commitment to LGBTQ Advisory Board County Executive George Latimer signed into law and formally created the Westchester County LGBTQ Advisory Board with Board President Christopher Oldi and The LOFT: LGBTQ+ Community Center Executive Director Judy Troilo. “The LGBTQ Advisory Board is a dynamic group of people whose recommendations have made a positive impact on our County,” Latimer said. “I was proud to stand with the LGBTQ Advisory Board and community to ban conversion therapy in October of 2018, and
to raise the Pride Flag for the first time at the Michaelian Office Building in June of 2019. I look forward to continuing our work together.” Early in his administration, Latimer revitalized the board, appointing 14 members of diverse backgrounds and experiences to facilitate the development of inclusion, diversity and pride in queer identity. “The LGBTQ Advisory Board is so thankful to County Executive George Latimer and the Westchester County Board of Legislators. The Advisory Board is committed to advising
the County Executive, the Board of Legislators and the various County agencies and departments on issues related to the diversity of the LGBTQ communities within Westchester County,” Oldi said. “The Board is thrilled to become part of the legislative fabric of Westchester County and will continue to use all of our efforts to facilitate the development of inclusion, diversity, and pride for all Westchester County LGBTQ+ communities and ensure that the voices of LGBTQ+ persons are heard.” Troilo added, “We are proud
of Westchester County’s affirming recognition of our community through the ratification of the LGBTQ Advisory Board. CE Latimer proves again to be a true LGBTQ+ Ally.” Moving forward, the board will consist of nine to 14 Westchester residents appointed by the county executive and approved by the county Board of Legislators. They will provide advice on issues related to the LGBTQ communities and make recommendations of policies, legislation or services to improve opportunities for all people. (Submitted)
On Nov. 11, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced new COVID-19 restrictions on bars, restaurants, gyms and residential gatherings in New York State. Effective Friday, Nov. 13, at 10 p.m., bars, restaurants and gyms or fitness centers, as well as any state Liquor Authority-licensed establishment, is be required to close from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily. Restaurants will still be allowed to provide curbside, food-only pick-up or delivery after 10 p.m., but will not be permitted to serve alcohol to go. The state Liquor Authority will issue further guidance for licensees as to what sales will continue to be permitted. “If you look at where the cases are coming from, if you do the contact tracing, you’ll see they’re coming from three main areas: establishments where alcohol is served, gyms, and indoor gatherings at private homes,” Cuomo said. “The reason we have been successful in reducing the spread in New York is we have been a step ahead of COVID. You know where it’s going; stop it before it gets there. And you know where it’s going by fol-
lowing the science. This is the calibration that we’ve talked about: increase economic activity, watch the positivity rate—if the positivity rate starts to go up, back off on the economic activity. It was never binary—economic activity or public health— it was always both.” Cuomo also announced that indoor and outdoor gatherings at private residences will be limited to no more than 10 people. The limit will be implemented due to the recent prevalence of COVID-19 spread resulting from small indoor gatherings including Halloween parties. These gatherings have become a major cause of cluster activity across the state. Further, this public health measure brings New York State in line with neighboring states including Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. This new rule also went into effect on Nov. 13 at 10 p.m. These actions were taken amid a widespread increase in cases throughout the nation and an increase in New York, which was expected moving into the fall and winter seasons.

The New 60 is a weekly look about what it’s like to be in your 60’s in today’s world: adult children living at home, downsizing (jobs and houses), finding old friends on Facebook and deciphering text-speak. It’s a Brave New World of second homes, second careers and second marriages…and finding out after a lifetime of milkshakes and ice cream that you’re suddenly lactose-intolerant. The New 60 is created by two local 60-plus Westchester residents, John Colquhoun of Bronxville and Andy Landorf, who hails from Tarrytown. The duo are long-time advertising creatives and this, as the saying goes, is their Act II. Even though it features folks in their 60’s, if you know someone who is 60, have a parent who’s 60 or just generally enjoy watching funny things happen to other people, you’ll find something to relate to here—you may even find yourself saying, “Hey, that happened to me!” To read more of the New 60, visit their website at thenew60comic.com.

Caramoor presents
Laura Osnes and Tony Yazbeck
Tony Award nominees Laura Osnes (Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella,” “Anything Goes”) and Tony Yazbeck (“On the Town,” “Finding Neverland”) make their Caramoor debut with an effervescent evening of song and dance called “Things Are Looking Up: An Evening of Gershwin Greats and Other Favorites” in this year’s Cabaret in the Music Room Benefit. Their program celebrates the music of George Gershwin, in whose “Crazy For You” the two recently wowed audiences together at Lincoln Center. As OperaWire predicted: “It’s safe to say that this pair of triple threats will continue to delight audiences for years to come.” The Nov. 20 event was filmed in Caramoor’s Music Room on Nov. 7. Known for its historic furnishings and superior acoustics, the “intimate, elegant Music Room” (New York Times) of the Rosen House makes an ideal setting for Caramoor’s streaming series, which the same paper calls “adventurous and excellent.” The stream will be available to view for 24 hours from Friday, Nov. 20 at 9:30 p.m. to Saturday, Nov. 21 at 10 p.m. Caramoor.org/events/laura-osnes-tony-yazbeck-livestream.

Lifting Up Westchester, a non-profit agency committed to helping individuals achieve self-sufficiency, announces their fourth annual high school student essay contest. Open to all Westchester students in the 7th to 12th grades, students are invited to explore the changes and challenges they have experienced during the pandemic. The essay contest was established in 2017 in memory of Beth Massey Rubens, a lifelong teacher, tutor and mentor who had a love for language arts. This year’s essay invites students to reflect how the changes and challenges they experienced may be the same or different from individuals who are homeless and low-income. What did they learn about the importance of connection? Where have they seen resilience or adaptability during this crisis? What values are more important or less important to them today than a year ago? Students are asked to focus
on what the pandemic has exposed about economic and social inequities in the U.S. as well as what can be done to change those inequities. And finally, essays must relate back to Lifting Up Westchester’s response to the pandemic and the agency’s core mission. “This year’s essay contest topic could not be more fitting,” said Anahaita Kotval, CEO of Lifting Up Westchester. “We have seen how quickly and drastically millions of lives have changed as a result of the pandemic; this topic offers students an opportunity to reflect meaningfully on their experiences and chart a path
forward that is centered around community and inclusivity.” First, second and third place cash prizes will be awarded in three grade groups; 7th and 8th graders, 9th and 10th graders and 11th and 12th graders. First prize in each category is $500, second prize $250 and third prize $100. Students can enter the contest from Nov. 9, 2020 through Jan. 29, 2021. Essays must be submitted in PDF format via e-mail to luwessaycontest@gmail.com. Students, teachers and parents can learn more about how the contest works and the judging criteria by visiting liftingupwestchester.org. (Submitted)

Nine months into the pandemic, with New York State’s eviction moratorium slated to expire at the end of the year, the Community Resource Center, CRC, and their clients are fearfully anticipating a “tsunami of evictions” according to Janet Rolon Fry, the CRC’s deputy executive director. Fry was one of three panelists speaking on the topic of pandemic-related evictions, a Zoom program co-hosted by the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Local Summit and LMC Media on Tuesday, Nov 10. Moratorium on Eviction Impacts Residential and Commerical Tenants and Landlords Blanca Lopez, who works with Westchester County Executive George Latimer’s office as an advisor on Fair and Affordable Housing, noted that the New York State moratorium for COVID-related rental evictions has been extended until Jan. 1, 2021. The moratorium protects residential and commercial tenants, as well as homeowners suffering financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Andrew Spatz, a local property owner and an attorney specializing in real estate law, shared that there has been a lot of confusion interpreting the governor’s executive orders. With the court system unable to proceed and arrive at a resolution in cases of dispute, Spatz emphasized the need for landlords and tenants to try to work together to settle differences. While supportive of the executive orders that protect residential and commercial tenants from eviction, Spatz cautioned that there have been abuses on both sides: landlords using various tactics to force tenants out and tenants refusing to pay their rent while having the means to do so. Spatz urged cooperation, creativity, patience and understanding by both tenants and landlords during these challenging times. Community Hard-hit by Pandemic Fry shared that the impact of the pandemic has been devastating to our community, particularly to the economically disadvantaged. Since the pandemic began, more than 500 local families have contacted the CRC requesting financial assistance for food, rent, medication and other essential items. These low-income families, many of them undocument-

ed/mixed families, were among the first to lose their jobs, typically landscaping, restaurants and childcare. By August, 175 clients were severely behind in rent, on average five months in arrears. Because of their immigration status, many are ineligible for government rent-assistance programs and fearful of deportation. Despite the moratorium, Fry shared that clients are being harassed by landlords. She has no doubt that once the moratorium is lifted, landlords will use the court system to force clients out of their home. What can be done? According to Fry, one way to mitigate the impending crisis is to support fund-raising efforts such as the one the CRC is undertaking to provide rental assistance to community members who are severely behind in rent. This financial aid is especially critical for undocumented residents who are not eligible for eviction prevention grants funded by the government. Secondly, Fry urges supporting the “right to counsel” initiative that seeks to provide legal assistance in eviction proceedings to low income families in Westchester County. Eviction Prevention Programs in Westchester County Lopez described the eviction prevention programs related to COVID-19 (also referred to as housing stabilization programs) that are currently available in Westchester County. More than $10 million from the federal CARES Act and ESG, Emergency Solutions Grant, COVID-19 funding is going towards four new programs designed to address residential eviction prevention; these are being administered by the county Planning Department. The largest of these is the CFR, Coronovirus Relief Fund, Housing Stabilization Program for Landlords with Tenants Impacted by COVID-19, for which $7.5 million has been allocated. Eligible landlords will be selected by lottery and will receive payments of up to 75% of rental arrearages and late charges; landlords are required to forgive any arrear-
ages covered by these funds and to stop any eviction proceedings against the tenant. Tenants must agree to a repayment plan for any outstanding portion of the 25% not covered by these funds. The Foreclosure Prevention Assistance Program covers up to four months of mortgage arrears to eligible homeowners ($2 million allocated) and another, referred to as the “Moving Forward” program helps eligible households pay their rent for up to 12 months ($1.9 million available). In all cases, selection of qualified applicants is by lottery. In addition to the residential programs, there are also programs that assist commercial tenants. The Westchester County Business First Grant Program, launched in September, provided 262 awards to nonprofits and businesses with 99 employees or less. These grants, totaling approximately $10 million, were funded by the CARES Act. Smaller programs are also in place to assist nonprofits and microenterprises. For more information on these COVID-19 assistance programs: Residential: https://homes. westchestergov.com/housing-help Commercial: https://westchestercatalyst.com/ Nonprofits and microenterprises: www.westchestercounty.gov/ cdbg In closing, the panelists encouraged open dialogue and stressed the need for all parties to work together cooperatively to address the unprecedented challenges faced by residential and commercial tenants and landlords. This forum was co-hosted by the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Local Summit and LMC Media. The Local Summit is an informal community council that seeks to make life better for all in the tri-municipal area.

The importance of responsibility LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
It’s not my job to lecture anyone about public health issues, but it’s pretty clear from where I stand as a sports journalist; some people just don’t seem to get it. Getting this coronavirus thing under control isn’t going to come down to the release of a “magic” drug. It’s going to take empathy, responsibility and sensibility from all of us. As I have been fond of saying throughout the entire coronavirus pandemic, we—as a people— seem to be prone to fits, stops and starts, and wild swings when it comes to getting this thing under control. We’ll see our numbers trending downward, lift some of the day-to-day restrictions and then find ourselves smack dab in the middle of a second wave of infection; we’ll get optimistic news on the vaccine front, but that will be tempered by spikes in
cases in hospitalizations. We’ll see a high school sports season come “this close” to reaching a representative yearend tournament only to see a slew of teams disqualified from postseason play because they’d been exposed to the virus. That really stinks, doesn’t it? Imagine being a high school senior a week or less away from playing for a regional championship in this strange, scary year, and all of a sudden, your season is done because—unbeknownst to you—someone on your team has come in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19? I, for one, would be royally ticked off; at the situation, of course, but also at the fact that while I was following all the guidelines and staying safe in order to continue playing, my season came to an end because not enough other people were taking this thing seriously. I’m not casting blame here. We don’t know where these spikes are coming from within
our communities. Data from other states—which have allowed high school sports to be played with far fewer restrictions than New York—would suggest that viral spread through competition is minimal, so that would point to an off-field culprit. And what that tells me is that not enough people in the area are taking enough steps to truly combat the virus. Make no mistake, wearing masks is a bother. It’s been frustrating not being able to see my extended family over the last few months. There are a lot of things in my life that I took for granted before the virus that seem like a distant memory to me now. But we need to continue to do the right thing, not out of self-preservation, but because our actions have a drastic impact on our neighbors, as we are finding out. I’m not advocating a second wave of lockdowns or boarding up restaurants, I’m simply saying that taking a little bit of personal responsibility on a day-to-day will go a long way towards getting things back under control.

So before you do something that might be considered risky, think about your neighbors.
I think our winter athletes would all thank you for being a little more considerate.

Virus impacts field hockey tourney By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Saturday afternoon the Rye field hockey team had just wrapped up a stellar regular season campaign with a 1-0 victory over reigning Class B state champion Bronxville and was eyeing their chance to take part in the regional playoffs. At 9-3, the Garnets were poised to be one of the top seeds in a postseason that would include several of the top Class AA and A programs in the area. But just a few hours later, Rye found itself on the outside of the playoff picture, as fears over exposure to the coronavirus prompted the team to shut down for the remainder of the year and forfeit its postseason berth. Rye head coach Kelly Vegliante said she was made aware of the decision to cancel the season on Saturday night when she learned from athletic director Susan Dullea that her team would not be participating in the playoffs. “Even heading into Saturday night, the girls keep in contact and there were already rumors swirling,” Vegliante said. “We
had been dodging bullets all season, so it didn’t come as a complete shock when I heard from the athletic director, but obviously it was disappointing.” Rye previously had two starters enter quarantine protocol and would have been without those players for the remainder of the season, but Vegliante said that the circumstances surrounding Saturday’s decision were unrelated to those two players. In fact, the coach’s postgame words to her players on Saturday stressed the importance of strictly adhering to health guidelines and mitigating risk in order to safely get through the postseason. “The thing we stressed with the girls was staying safe and we said we would see them Monday,” she said. “We knew that the season could come to an end at any time, but it’s still sad because the girls didn’t really get closure.” The field hockey team is the second squad from Rye whose season has come to a premature end recently, as the boys’ soccer team—which boasted a 7-0-2 record—was also forced into quarantine protocol following a positive test last week. On Nov. 4, Section I officials
announced plans to scrap the annual sectional tournament, opting instead to hold smaller tournaments that would group teams by region and school size. Initially, the Garnets were slated to compete in the Lower Westchester large-school tournament, which was to feature eight area teams. But a recent spike in COVID-19 cases in the state has forced several teams across all sports to shut down their seasons. In addition to the Garnets, Harrison, Ursuline and Brewster were also forced to cancel their postseason field hockey plans. As of press time, the largeschool Southern Westchester tournament will feature just four entrants—Mamaroneck, Scarsdale, White Plains and Pelham— and will conclude on Wednesday, Nov. 18. The Garnets’ last opponent, Bronxville, is still scheduled to compete in the small-school division, where they earned a No. 2 seed. They will enjoy a firstround bye and move through to the semifinals on Nov. 18, when they will play the winner between Irvington and Valhalla. CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
