County launches program to help businesses Focused on supporting local businesses struggling during the pandemic, County Executive George Latimer and the Westchester County Office of Economic Development today unveiled Westchester RISES, a free program designed to support existing businesses who are looking to pivot or rebuild in response to the pandemic, or build resilience to prepare for whatever shock might be next. “COVID-19’s impact on businesses has been staggering,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “We continue to rally behind our existing businesses and look forward to supporting them through the Westchester RISES program.” Westchester RISES, in association with Accel7, a business and startup accelerator based in New Rochelle, is a mentoring

and training program to support business owners who are reinventing, reinvigorating or otherwise changing their business as the result of COVID-19. Well-known entrepreneur Danny Potocki, managing director of Accel7, will lead the program, which will include numerous distinguished speakers and mentors. Through online workshops, industry roundtables and one-onone mentoring, business owners and entrepreneurs can gain the knowledge and skills necessary to plan their next steps, navigate core business challenges and respond to the pandemic economic environment. “When the business landscape changes dramatically, as it has during the COVID-19 pandemic, business owners must react strategically. Pivoting and rebuilding can be monumental tasks, and

we want to connect businesses with local experts to help them navigate these processes, and collaborate with peers in their sector to help address challenges facing their industry,” said Deborah Novick, county director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. “Westchester RISES offers tangible, action-oriented training for business owners wishing to make changes to their businesses now, or plan ahead to be more resilient when the next big challenge presents itself.” Westchester RISES is a 6-month, virtual program and business owners are invited to participate in as many—or as few—of the workshops and roundtables as they would like. Topics for the 10-online workshops include Marketing Your Business in a Pandemic, Rehiring Your Team, Seeking Funding in

Challenging Times, and other key topics of interest to business owners. The focus of industry roundtables will be determined by the industries who participate in the program and the specific challenges these businesses are facing. The Westchester RISES program is an important step towards building resilience and equipping businesses to respond to future challenges. The first workshop will be held on Tuesday, Dec. 1 at noon via Zoom conference, and will focus on engaging your team while navigating the pandemic economy. Participants can register by visiting www.westchesterrises. com/workshops. For more information on RISES, including a complete schedule of workshops and roundtables, visit www.westchesterrises. com.

On Thursday, Nov. 19, New York State established a yellow COVID zone in parts of New Rochelle as well as several other communities in Westchester County, including Yonkers, Port Chester, Tarrytown and Peekskill. In Westchester, the daily infection rate has ticked up to a concerning 4.6%, significantly higher than previous months when that rate had consistently remainder under 1%. Similarly, statewide has seen an uptick of the infection rate to 3.1%. As a part of that continuing increase in COVID-19 cases throughout New York, cluster areas have been identified by zip codes and tagged micro-clusters. New Rochelle’s zone covers about half of the 10801 zip code and a portion of the 10805 zip code, mainly encompassing the city’s downtown district. If a community is tagged with a Yellow Zone it triggers tightened restrictions such as restaurant dining limited to four people per table; houses of worship limited to 50% capacity; non-residential gatherings are restricted to a maximum of 25 people; gatherings at private homes are already limited to a maximum of 10 people statewide; and information on public school impacts will come directly from the school districts. Beginning on Monday, Nov. 23, New Rochelle City Hall was closed to the public, except by appointment. Multiple services will remain available online. The New Rochelle City School District of New Rochelle, with the exception of a cohort of special education classes, reverted to a fully virtual learning experience, effective, Nov. 20. That plan will remain in effect until at

least Dec. 3, according to the school district. ”If you look around the country, around the world, COVID is surging. In New York, we are not immune to what’s happening around us—and with the cold weather and holiday travel, from here to January is going to be very dangerous. We’re going to add some additional micro-cluster zones. While some areas have improved over the past weeks, other parts have seen a higher positivity rate,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a press briefing on Nov. 21. “These next few weeks will be challenging with the holidays, especially since we all want to see our loved ones after the year we have had, but we cannot let our guard down. Love is sometimes doing what’s hard— this year, if you love someone, it is smarter and better to stay away, as hard as that is to say and hear. We can get through this if we all continue to wear our masks, stay socially distant, avoid gatherings, wash our hands and above all, stay New York Tough.” Back on Nov. 13, Cuomo put enhanced restrictions into effect statewide. Bars, restaurants and gyms, as well as any State Liquor Authority-licensed, SLA, establishment, must close in-person service from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. daily. SLA licensed establishments, including bars and restaurants, will close daily at 10 p.m. Bowling alleys that have liquor licenses are also included in the new measure. After 10 p.m. restaurants will be able to provide curbside/food pickup only Gyms will also close daily at 10 p.m. (Submitted)

County, Save the Sound receive $200K for Hutch River Westchester County and Save the Sound have been awarded a $200,000 federal grant from the Long Island Sound Futures Fund to develop a blueprint for curbing polluted stormwater runoff flowing to the Hutchinson River. “The Long Island Sound is a natural treasure for Westchester County residents and visitors from recreational, commercial and spiritual standpoints,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “With this grant, we anticipate that Westchester County will be in a better position to obtain additional state and federal grants to help implement the plan after it’s been completed.” The county’s Planning Department partnered on the grant with Save the Sound, a New Haven, Connecticut-based not-for-profit organization—with a satellite office in the village of Mamaroneck—focused on protecting and restoring Long Island Sound. Save the Sound, on behalf of the county, applied for and received the $200,000 grant that will be matched by $25,000 from the Westchester County Soil and Water Conservation District as well as $25,000 in in-kind services, largely staff time, from

the county Planning Department. The cash match will be derived from annual funding to the district from the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets. The grant will be further matched by in-kind services, largely volunteer time, from Save the Sound. The grant is funded through the Long Island Sound Study, a decades-old partnership among the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, New York and Connecticut. The grant and cash match will be used to develop a long-range plan for improving water quality by filtering out pollutants commonly found in urban and suburban stormwater runoff before it reaches the Hutchinson River in Westchester. A separate plan focused on the New York City portion of the river is expected to be developed in the future. With the funding, the Planning Department and Save the Sound will both hire a consultant to develop a plan that meets the nine-point criteria for watershed management plans adopted by the EPA. “The Hutchinson River is on the New York State List of Impaired Waters, with oil and grease, low dissolved oxygen and patho-

gens being the primary pollutants of concern,” Planning Commissioner Norma Drummond said. “This list notes that a suspected source for these pollutants is urban and suburban runoff. This plan will address these pollutants and their sources. It also will provide a foundation for furthering the river’s protection through scientifically sound stormwater management practices.” Westchester municipalities in the Hutchinson River drainage area are Eastchester, Mount Vernon, New Rochelle, Pelham, Pelham Manor and Scarsdale. Development of the plan is expected to begin in the spring 2021 and be completed in 2022. Public outreach and education will follow as will the design and construction in 2023 of a model water quality improvement project focused on polluted stormwater runoff using funding from the Soil and Water Conservation District. “We are all responsible for ensuring its protection and the cleanliness of its water for swimming, fishing, boating and relaxing as well as for the fish and wildlife that depend on its health for their survival,” Latimer said.

Hearts & Homes for Refugees board member Lori Kapner Hosp has created and donated a collection of 28 original paintings entitled “Glimpses of Places They Called Home” that will be the focus of an online art auction starting Friday, Nov. 27. All proceeds from the auction will benefit Hearts & Homes for Refugees’ ongoing work to welcome, assist and advocate for refugee families in the region. The auction will be available at www.biddingforgood.com/ hhrefugees and will remain open through Sunday, Dec. 6. Hosp joined the board of directors of Hearts & Homes for Refugees two years ago and is an active volunteer focusing much of her work on the organization’s Helping Hands program. In March, when the pandemic forced people to stay home, Hosp channeled her creative energy into ‘Glimpses of Places They Called Home’, a series of paintings that honors refugees by capturing the beautiful and varied places they hail from—their land, people, traditions and unique foods.

“When the pandemic hit, I knew that I would paint my way through it, and I wanted to create a project with purpose.” Hosp said. “So, my paintings became an homage to the bravery, kindness, and exuberance of refugee families who bring so much to our communities, while also supporting the critically important work of Hearts & Homes for Refugees.” “We are absolutely blown away by Lori’s generosity and talent as seen in these beautiful works of art that celebrate the countries and cultures our new neighbors so bravely left behind to embrace new lives in America,” said Kathie O’Callaghan founder and president of Hearts & Homes for Refugees. “As we look once again toward a more welcoming tone in our country, we are thrilled to share Lori’s collection and give people the opportunity to support our work in this unique way.” In addition to her work with Hearts & Homes for Refugees, Hosp is a member of the Board of Trustees for Scarsdale Synagogue in Scarsdale, and has served as a member of the Board of Directors of New York Women In Communications, Inc. , and as co-chair of Development for the organization’s prestigious Matrix Awards. She has also served on the advisory board for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hosp’s art has been included in exhibitions at the Pelham Art Center and in the Beaux Arts Exhibition in Dobbs Ferry. She has trained for years with her esteemed instructor Eleanor Miller at the Pelham Art Center. In addition to her volunteer and philanthropic work, Hosp is a 25-year communications industry veteran with expertise in global brand strategy, identi-

ty creation and business development. Throughout her career she has worked for several international branding consultancies including her own firm. A native of Great Neck, Long Island, Hosp lives in Scarsdale, with her family.

Hearts & Homes for Refugees is a non-profit, volunteer-driven, refugee-serving organization in Westchester County. We partner with U.S. State Department-designated agencies to build welcoming communities for those fleeing violence and

persecution. Hearts & Homes educates, inspires, and equips people of goodwill to come together—families, neighbors, community organizations, faith and civic groups—to resettle, assist and advocate for our new neighbors. (Submitted)

Westchester begins COVID marketing campaign As Westchester County continues to see a rise in COVID-19 cases, County Executive George Latimer is urging residents to remain vigilant and practice the proper behaviors to help stop the spread. To this end, Latimer is launching new Spanish-language based ads to reach some Westchester residents in their native language. “Our outreach includes public communication with individuals. If we fail to reach people, if they fail to modify their behavior to suit the crisis of the day, then the

crisis continues,” Latimer said. “So we have begun a new aggressive campaign – in both English and Spanish – about the dangers of risks of COVID-19.” The county has released new flyers, robocalls and PSAs in English and Spanish aimed at ensuring residents still understand the serious stage of the pandemic we are in. As we see new COVID-19 spikes in communities with large Spanish-speaking populations, it is imperative the county reaches these residents in the most impactful

manner. The robocalls began late last week and reminds residents that the COVID-19 pandemic is far from over. In it, Latimer reminds residents that, “you do not need symptoms to give the virus to someone else.” The Spanish language PSA can be viewed here: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=DFU4OQms-mo A longer Spanish language information video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/t5ou91sR54.

Rye Neck High School students applied their coding, building and problem-solving skills to build a complex blinking-light sequence circuit as part of an assignment in Skyler Mosenthal’s Robotics classes. Inspired by K.I.T.T., a car in the 1980s television series “Knight Rider,” the students recreated a series of LED bulbs and coding tricks that were fundamental to the first unit of study. The students began the process by writing a sketch on the Arduino software, using the loop function, and validated it by running a test on the software. Next, they were challenged to build their designs according to the specifications in the guide to ensure the circuit was complete and that all the LED lights turned on and off.

“One intricacy was the exact placement of jumper wires, resistors and LED lights,” Mosenthal said. “Groups who thought they had a correct build had to unplug and replug wires into and out of the breadboard according to the rows and columns of the board so that electricity would flow in the correct direction.” Throughout the design process, the students applied problem-solving skills to troubleshoot their designs and worked through trial and error to get the correct combination of resistors, placement of jumper wires and LEDs to complete the circuits. “This degree of problem-solving requires patience, persistence, teamwork and creativity in trying to figure out what the problem may be, and also collaboration with other

groups to share our best practices to make it work,” Mosenthal said. Mosenthal said the project challenged the students to combine their coding skills with a build that required a significant amount of precision. While the blinking light wave on the “Knight Rider” car might have seemed like a simple achievement, the students learned to appreciate its complexity. “In a world that offers us instant fixes and instant gratification for nearly everything, learning to keep going, keep trying and keep at it until arriving at success gives students immense satisfaction in their step-by-step accomplishments,” he said. “My hope is that they embrace the process as much as the final destination.” (Submitted)

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.

County announces annual Senior Hall of Fame luncheon CPW hosted Taste of Westchester virtual ‘Give-Back’

Westchester County Executive George Latimer will join in honoring the achievements of 49 senior citizens from throughout the county at the 38th Annual Senior Citizens Hall of Fame Awards on Friday, Dec. 4 at 11:30 a.m. This year’s program names Deborah Moorehead of Yonkers and William S.

Mae Carpenter, the county Department of Senior Programs and Services, DSPS, commissioner, said the achievements of the Hall of Fame honorees show the importance of people giving back to their communities and to each other. “The honorees show that age is never a deterrent to being a vital member of our society,” Carpenter said. “In fact, it’s an advantage because of the life experiences they bring with them. Their generous contributions have helped to make Westchester County one of the most senior-friendly places in the world.” The Senior Hall of Fame began in as part the 300th Anniversary of Westchester County’s founding. Its purpose was to showcase how seniors have contributed to building the county. Almost 1,200 seniors have been inducted since. Among this year’s award recipients, four seniors will receive Special Recognition: Melvin “Mel” Burger of Mount Kisco; Mavis Cain of Dobbs Ferry; Eunice Kaplan of New Rochelle; and Dinbandahu Shah of Ardsley will be recognized.

For a full week, Nov. 9-15, 2020, Cerebral Palsy of Westchester, CPW, celebrated its 15th annual A Taste of Westchester. Given the times, there was not, this year, an in-person Taste of Westchester event. There was, however, a celebration of the area’s finest restaurants, top chefs and beverage establishments through A Taste of Westchester Online Showcase. The week featured an online auction, a raffle, musical guests, opportunities for wine tastings and restaurant information streamed on the CPW website and shared through social media channels. Everyone was encouraged to “Taste in Place” by ordering from local restaurants, bakeries, sweet shops and beverage establishments throughout the week. Details and a full list of featured restaurants can be found online at taste.cpwestchester.org. This year, more than 25 food

and drink establishments participated in CPW’s virtual showcase in hopes of increasing business and spreading the word about current offerings. Two jazz concerts, featuring Janelle’s Jazz Trio, were live streamed on Facebook, providing folks the opportunity to listen while enjoying some takeout from the comfort of their home. Janelle’s Jazz Trio, with vocalist Janelle, guitarist John H. Smith and Lou Stelutti on upright bass, performed at Gina Marie’s Trattoria in Mount Vernon on Wednesday, Nov. 11, and Toscana Ristorante in Tuckahoe on Sunday, Nov. 15. A Taste of Westchester 2020 business sponsors included A&A Maintenance, Aries Wine & Spirits, Baldor Specialty Foods, Crystal Blue Cleaning, Emblem Health, Grassy Sprain Pharmacy, Kiamie East 32nd Street, Marsh and McLennan Agency, and TD Bank. Funds raised will provide support to CPW’s many programs during this unprecedented time and will allow for individuals

with developmental disabilities to continue to take part in their community to the best of their ability. Now in its 71st year, Cerebral Palsy of Westchester’s mission is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with all developmental disabilities including autism, neurological impairments, intellectual disabilities, epilepsy and cerebral palsy. Through a comprehensive network of educational programs, residential sites, therapeutic services, employment training, recreation programs and advocacy, the agency helps thousands of children and adults in Westchester and Fairfield counties live more productive and satisfying lives. The organization’s motto is: Realizing Tomorrow’s Potential . . . Today!

Farewell to fall sports LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

During this past week’s condensed postseason, I was speaking with an athletic director about the chaos and uncertainty that the coronavirus has wreaked on the fall sports schedule. With the finish line in plain sight, he took a moment to exhale and reflect that, for better or worse, we had just about gotten through the fall season. “Every day this fall has been like putting together a jigsaw puzzle,” he said. “If the Thanksgiving break wasn’t coming up, I think I’d have to take a few days off.” Unquestionably, our world has changed drastically over the last several months. There are few aspects of day-to-day life that were spared by the COVID-19 pandemic, high school sports not being the least of those. But even though we aren’t nearly out of the woods yet, it might be worth acknowledging the contributions of coaches, officials and school ad-

ministrators that made this past season—as limited as it was— possible. Even in a normal year, getting an athletic season off the ground is no small endeavor. It takes the cooperation of athletic directors, sectional officials, coaches, trainers and more to keep our student-athletes on the field. And when you throw in the looming specter of coronavirus shutdowns, that job gets infinitely tougher. Several teams had portions of their season derailed by positive tests, but we saw wonderful cooperation between school districts to ensure that student-athletes at least had a fighting chance to get out there on the field. Was it perfect? Of course not. Any time you’re dealing with something as unpredictable as the coronavirus, there are going to be bumps in the road. Some squads, like the Rye boys’ soccer and field hockey teams, saw promising seasons cut short due to the virus. Those who were looking forward to football this fall will have to wait until March to see any action on the gridiron due to

state guidelines. But there wasn’t one individual I spoke with at a championship game this week that wasn’t absolutely shocked to have made it through the season without a permanent shutdown. And while players and coaches alike marveled at their luck—which obviously played some part in all of this—I believe a debt of gratitude is owed to the people working behind the scenes to keep things rolling as smoothly as possible. We’re in for more tough times before things get better; we’ve already seen winter sports delayed until 2021, and we’re still not sure if we’ll see high risk sports like basketball or hockey played at all. But the fact that we had any sort of fall season at all is a small blessing; and I think everyone deserves a pat on the back. Or, in keeping with social distancing guidelines, a congratulatory email at least.

the playoffs undefeated, was able to cut into the lead just six minutes into the second half, but Bronxville keeper Milly Koenig and the Broncos’ makeshift defense were able to stave off the equalizing goal, giving Molly Krestinski the opportunity to extend the lead to 3-1 with just 11 minutes to play. The Broncos and Panthers met in the Section I title game in both 2018 and 2019, with each team winning one game. Last season, Pleasantville topped the Broncos 3-0 en route to capturing the Class B state title. That was a fact that weighed heavily on the minds of Bronxville’s upperclassmen, Koenig said. “We have a lot of history with them, especially coming off that defeat last season when they went on to accomplish so much,” she said. “So, to come out and come through as the underdogs, that really means a lot.” Even though Bronxville won’t have an opportunity to continue the season in the state tourna-

happy with what we’ve been able to accomplish this year as a group and it really goes to show you how much of this game is mental,” Koenig said. “To go through

Rye shocks Raiders for crown GIRLS SOCCER REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

( 20T ) RYE 2 SCARSDALE 1 SCARSDALE HS

11/23/20

Game Notes: • Zoe Rockas scored the game-winner in 2OT • Scarsdale came into Monday’s matchup without a loss • Freshman Maddy Walsh tied the game up in the 2nd half

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor The Rye girls’ soccer team put the finishing touches on a splendid season on Nov. 23, as they came from behind to upend top-seeded Scarsdale 2-1 in double overtime to claim the Southern Westchester Large School championship. For the Garnets, the win was not only a fitting end to a tumultuous fall campaign, but also a promising sign that Rye’s youngsters are ready to take the mantle from a group of upperclassmen

who paved the way for the championship victory. Senior Zoe Rockas proved to be the hero on Monday, collecting a pass from Anabelle Thomas and beating Scarsdale keeper Dylan Gross for the game-winning goal almost 96 minutes after the opening whistle. According to Rockas, the play was borne out of an increasing sense of desperation for a Rye team that had been unable to mount a significant offensive charge against the Raiders in overtime. “We were definitely tired and we weren’t getting too many chances,” Rockas said. “I knew that I needed to put it away right then and there if we were going to win.” Scarsdale took an early lead when Sasha Fischer found the net just seven minutes into the game, but Rye was able to go on the attack after a stellar goal-saving play by freshman defender Sage Ruttenberg helped turn the tide in the Garnets’ favor. Fellow freshman Maddy Walsh knotted things up in the 66th minute, and Rye was able to control the tempo until the Garnets broke through in the second overtime period.

“It all started with that key play by Sage, she saved a goal,” said Rye head coach Rich Savage. “We started to put the ball on the ground, use our speed to our advantage, and I think we just became more comfortable.” At 11-1-1 on the season, the Garnets were the only field sports team from Rye to compete in the playoffs, as COVID-19 quarantine protocol eliminated both the field hockey and boys’ soccer teams from postseason play. That fact was not lost on the team, according to Rockas. “In our huddles, we’d talk about how we were the last team left, how we represent Rye,” she said. “We take a lot of pride in that.” For Savage, the Garnets’ ability to maintain focus throughout a season marred by outside forces is a testament to the discipline of his players. “This year has been a roller coaster, any day that we can play has been a blessing,” he said. “How everyone stepped up really says a lot about the character of this team and the way they were able to push through difficult times.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
