Westchester’s bond rating affirmed by Moody’s S&P, Fitch Following nearly four full years of smart, prudent fiscal management by County Executive George Latimer, Westchester’s bond ratings now stand as “stable” by all three major rating agencies. “This is the result of setting a game plan and executing it— no matter what variables were thrown our way,” Latimer said. “When I took office in January 2018, our bond ratings had tak-

en a hit and were on a path to further downgrades. We had a plan to improve them, and even when COVID-19 hit, we stuck to our plan. Improved ratings means long-term savings for County taxpayers as our fiscal health continues to progress.” Moody’s Investors Service report states: “the stable outlook reflects the likelihood that the County will produce balanced operations in fiscal 2021

through fiscal 2022...” Fitch Rating Agency’s report says, “fiscal improvement reflects management’s ability to eliminate its reliance on one-time budget actions.... Fitch believes that the County has returned to more conservative budget practices, which is evident by recently increased recurring revenues that better align with the County’s pace of spending growth over time.”

Lastly, Standard & Poor’s Global Ratings stated, “Tenured management team and good policies and practices stabilize the County’s credit profile.” With all three major bond rating agencies listing the county in “stable” condition, Latimer looks forward to further improving the county’s fiscal outlook as he begins his second term as county executive.

Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Dec. 6 the detection of four more confirmed cases of the COVID-19 omicron variant in New York State, for a total of 12 confirmed cases. The cases have been confirmed through sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus by the state Department of Health’s Wadsworth Center. Two of the new cases are from Suffolk County and two are from Oneida County. “Four more cases of the COVID-19 Omicron variant were just identified in New York State,” Hochul said. “With the new variant circulating, the best way to stay safe and prevent serious illness during the holiday season is by getting vaccinated or a booster shot. With more friends and family gathering indoors this time of year, we have the tools to fight this pandemic and you can protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated and encouraging others to get the shot, and mask up. We will continue to work with local leaders to provide the latest updates and make sure they have what they need to help prevent the spread of this deadly virus.” While none of these cases are related to the recent Anime convention at the Javits Center in New York City, the Health Department still urges anyone who attended to get tested for COVID-19.

“While public health experts are still learning more about this new variant, we continue to encourage all New Yorkers to take precautions against COVID-19,” said Dr. Mary T. Basset, acting state health commissioner. “Get vaccinated, get a booster if you are already fully vaccinated, and continue to wear your mask.” The state Department of Health’s Wadsworth Center Laboratory continues to actively monitor COVID-19 virus samples selected throughout the state to compare sequences and identify circulating and new variants, including omicron. The Health Department also monitors all data submitted to public sequence databases by the many other sequencing laboratories throughout New York State and across the U.S., contributing to a robust and collaborative surveillance program for variant analysis. The Wadsworth Center is currently sequencing COVID-19 virus specimens with a capacity up to approximately 100 per day. Specimens are selected at random from throughout the state to provide surveillance across all geographic locations and data analyzed across the entire sequence of the virus. The analyses include assessment for mutations that indicate variants of concern and variants of interest. (Submitted)

County honors World War II vets on Pearl Harbor Day Westchester County Executive George Latimer marked the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor by honoring three local World War II veterans. “These men are the last of our greatest generation. We

honor their sacrifice, we honor their service, and we honor their history,” Latimer said. “Without their dedication to patriotism and our nation, we would be in a different place in time. We must not forget what

they stood for and what they fought for.” County Director of Veterans Services Ronald Tocci said, “I encourage all Westchester residents to take a minute and thank their local veterans. Today’s recognition is a constant reminder of all these unsung heroes that we have in our midst and in our communities.” Proclamations were handed out to: Leroy Fadem of New Rochelle. At 100 years old, Fadem is a Navy veteran who served on the U.S.S. Stevens. He earned the moniker “Fearless Fadem” when he served as a torpedo officer, gunnery officer and catapult officer. “I think most of us weren’t even aware of where Pearl Harbor was, until Pearl Harbor was bombed,” Fadem said. “This is the day that started it all. I wanted to select where I wanted to go. I selected the Navy. It was a life changer.” Waldie Gullen of Waccabuc was drafted by the U.S. Army after graduating Katonah High School.

The Westchester County Association, WCA, hosted their Annual Fall Leadership Event: Driving Westchester Forward on Nov. 30 at the Westchester Marriot in Tarrytown. With more than 400 people in attendance, the evening honored the achievements of organizations Skanska, Westhab and WMCHealth, as well as outgoing WCA Chairman William P. Harrington, partner at Bleakley Platt & Schmidt who received the Alfred B. DelBello Visionary Award. The event program featured remarks by Westchester County Executive George Latimer, President and CEO of the WCA Michael N. Romita, and retired President and CEO of WCA Bill Mooney. Incoming Susan Fox, WCA chair of the board and president and CEO of White Plains Hospital, also delivered special remarks followed by a networking reception with dinner by-the-bite. “For nearly 70 years, the Westchester County Association has been the leading independent voice of Westchester’s business community,” said Romita. “The WCA represents the foremost professionals in real estate, healthcare, finance & banking, hospitality, technology and other professional services; as well as municipalities, nonprofit organi-

zations and institutions of higher education and we were excited to celebrate those who support our values and are working tirelessly to drive Westchester forward.” Theodora Diamantis, vice president, account manager, and Michael Viggiano, executive vice president, accepted a WCA Leadership award on behalf of Skanska, one of the largest project development and construction companies in the world. Skanska has led a series of high-impact projects right here in Westchester. For example, they recently developed the state-ofthe-art Ambulatory Care Pavilion at WMCHealth’s main campus in Valhalla.Richard Nightingale, president and CEO, accepted a WCA Leadership Award on behalf of Westhab, a Yonkers-based nonprofit that is celebrating 40 years of providing affordable housing to communities in need. Sharing WCA’s vision of a better future for businesses and communities in Westchester, Westhab partnered with the WCA on the launch of Yonkers Zone, Y-Zone, a digital opportunity zone providing free internet access to approximately 250-400 need-based households in downtown Yonkers. Recognizing the many accomplishments Westhab made this past year, they were the recipient of the 2021

Leadership Award. Michael D. Israel, president and CEO accepted a WCA Leadership Award on behalf of Westchester Medical Center Health Network, WMCHealth). WMCHealth has been at the forefront of addressing global pandemics since its founding in 1917, when the Westchester Medical Center was established as an Army hospital caring for soldiers who had fallen victim to Spanish Influenza. Fast-forward 100 years and WMCHealth has again risen to the challenges presented by a pandemic. In addition to treating and testing thousands of patients safely during the pandemic, WMCHealth was appointed the vaccine HUB for the 7-county Hudson Valley, and was responsible for developing a Regional Implementation Plan, convening key stakeholders, ensuring equitable vaccine administration, and managing four regional task forces. William P. Harrington, managing partner at Bleakley Platt & Schmidt, received the Alfred B. DelBello Visionary Award. The presentation of this award has been a special part of this program since 2015. DelBello served as WCA chairman for four years, embarking on many groundbreaking initiatives in healthcare, economic development and political advocacy.

In honor of DelBello’s legacy, WCA created an award in his name to be given to a deserving leader who carries out his vision of making our community a better and more economically viable one. Harrington succeeded DelBello as WCA’s chair and continued to be a passionate leader of the initiatives that have become the hallmark of the WCA serving as the leader and champion of the WCA’s healthcare reform efforts. “I would like to congratulate this year’s honorees, Skanska, Westhab and Westchester Medical Center Health, for all that

they have done to positively impact the lives of our neighbors across the Hudson Valley,” said Fox, the incoming chair of the WCA. “Collaboration is at the heart of the work the WCA does and has been doing for the last 70 plus years, working across sectors and industries to develop solutions that lift each other up. As we think about the future and what needs to be accomplished, we need to harness the energy of collaboration and ensure that we remain the most desirable place to live and work.” (Submitted)

Thursday, Dec. 9 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Food Historian presents Koekje, Cooky, or Cookie? A History of American Christmas Cookies

Why do the Brits call them biscuits and we call them cookies? The answer lies in the 17th century Dutch colony of New Netherland. But cookies have a peculiar history. Once the purview only of the wealthy, their flavors, shapes, and textures have changed over time. Influenced by changing technologies, household labor, slavery, social status, agricultural innovations, and immigration, cookies have become the standard American Christmastime treat. But how did we get there? In this illustrated lecture, food historian Sarah Wassberg Johnson discusses the history of cookies in America, Christmas traditions through the ages, and why we eat so many cookies during the holiday season.

Johanna Porr Yuan, Orange County Historian. With a foundation wall adjacent to a colonial era cemetery on the verge of collapse, emergency measures were taken to remove accumulations of dirt from the basement of an old building known locally as Weigands Tavern. Cleared for disposal by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) and destined for a dumpster, laborers spotted several ancient objects and made a snap decision to pile and tarp the dirt in a back yard for further examination. Owner Thomas Dodd invited the Orange County Historian to take a look and soon a community driven archaeological survey developed onsite. Led by Yaun, word went out and local volunteers showed up to dig and screen dirt throughout July 2021 and many interesting objects were discovered.

What’s cooking The fun of random recipes As a young mother during the 1980s, I joined a recipe card club. I wanted to expand my food knowledge and try new and exciting meals. The cards were printed in Holland, Norway and West Germany, no less, and were stored in a large smoky brown plastic case. The first order to begin the collection was 100 or so cards, and each month another packet of 20 to 30 cards would arrive to add to the box. It was the ’80s, and the recipes are full of meats, cheeses and sauces. To be honest, there are some recipes in the box I was wary of trying then — even more so today! My older sister, Connie, who lived next door to me, was the Ethel to my Lucy. Whenever a new package of potential culinary experimentation arrived, we excitedly analyzed each one. About once a month, we would each pick a card or two, go to our respective kitchens and, hours later, have a joint family meal. Granted, a few of these experiments raised a few eyebrows from the husbands and skeptical side-eyes from the kids, but that didn’t damper our enthusiasm. We would hit the jackpot with our choices every now and then, and the recipes would evolve into family favorites. Sadly, my beloved sister passed away in 1995, and, as happens with families, the small children around our dinner tables grew up and now have children of their own. The plastic case, still filled to the brim, has a permanent spot on the top of my refrigerator. I have fond, everlasting memories of my sister and me choosing cards at random and cooking dinner for our unsuspecting families. So I decided to do the same thing with you, my column readers! I’ve chosen a recipe at random for all of us to try. Who knows? This may become your family’s favorite

Opinion-Editorial

The impact of the Global Intangible Low-Income Tax By MICHAEL OATES As we finally see the post-pandemic light at the end of the tunnel, it seems as if businesses are taking two steps forward and one step back. Proposed federal legislation reflects that old saying, especially when looking at the outlook for businesses big and small across New York State and in the Hudson Valley. Just as some of our most crucial industries are finally seeing relief—restaurants and bars are open again, people are heading to theaters and other attractions once shuttered, our manufacturing industries are starting to get back on track—the potential for our region to return to normal may be jeopardized by proposals being made in Washington. The Biden Administration, while looking for ways to fund infrastructure and social reform programs—all noble and needed programs—is misguided in penalizing U.S. companies with tax proposals that put them at a global disadvantage. Current proposals from both the administration and other lawmakers would hike the Global Intangible Low

Income Tax, GILTI, from 10.5%15%. It only applies to U.S. companies and would not apply to foreign-based competitors selling the same product from the same country into the United States. So why does this matter to the average New Yorker? The answers and impacts are many. Companies who see their profit margins shrink have less money to invest in future products, services and expansions. That means fewer jobs. Less innovation. Less investment in expanding existing business. That will impact jobs across a variety of sectors, from very high-paying jobs in the tech and biotech fields to the small mom-and-pop stores where workers buy coffee, drop their dry cleaning and have a beer after work. The increase in the GILTI would affect businesses far and wide, putting our businesses at a disadvantage. Here in the Hudson Valley, the impact could be especially hardfelt. Across a region that proudly has some of the country’s largest and oldest companies as well as emerging industries, our neighbors could be severely impacted. We need our lawmakers to see the impact—large and small,

short-term and long-term—that these increased tax proposals will have on our region. While paying one’s fair share of taxes is among the most patriotic tasks individuals and the business community can provide, we simply cannot afford to make American corporations pay more than our global competitors. I urge lawmakers in Washington to reject these proposals and find more equitable ways to fund the administration’s priorities.

Good sleep especially important before vaccines Vital to your well-being, sleep affects every tissue of your body and both your mental and physical health, according to Dr. Merrill Mitler, a sleep expert and neuroscientist at the National Institutes of Health. With that in mind, it’s not surprising that sleep also affects our immune system and that a good night’s sleep is crucial before getting a vaccine. “There was a study with influenza vaccine that showed that people who were sleep deprived the week before getting the vaccine did not produce enough antibodies after the vaccine, compared to the people that slept good nights, the right amount of sleep,” said Dr. Lourdes DelRosso, an associate professor of pediatrics and sleep medicine at the Uni-

versity of Washington School of Medicine. “So, sleep is very important, even around your vaccination time for your immune system to produce the right amount of immune response after the vaccine.” “Get a really good night’s sleep all the time,” but especially before getting a vaccine for COVID-19, the flu or other infectious diseases, DelRosso said. The pandemic wreaked havoc with many people’s sleep schedule. If you haven’t returned to a good sleep schedule, now is the time to make changes, she said. “Go to bed at the right time, wake up at the right time, try to get a restful sleep, have a regular diet, avoid caffeine,” DelRosso said.

TO ENSURE A BENEFICIAL REST: • Turn off electronics at least an hour before bed and switch to relaxing activities like reading or singing, which is calming for children. • Avoid caffeine six to seven hours before bedtime. • Get regular exercise. • Eat dinner a couple hours before bedtime and have a bedtime snack if needed but nothing too sugary. • Avoid too many liquids before bed, which will make you wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom.

For as much credit as school officials and administrators deserve for their efforts ensuring that local winter athletes have a representative season last year— and they deserve all the praise in the world—there are some things, logistically, that simply remained impossibilities. I was reminded of that last week, when I got to see indoor sports played—for the first time in more than a year—in front of throngs of rowdy fans. On Friday, I was reminded of just how important fans can be to the athletic experience, when I got to take in a thrilling tilt between the hockey teams from Rye and Mamaroneck at the Hommocks Ice Rink. Last year, state and county directives had mostly eliminated fans from the proceedings—save a few late-season games in which the parents of senior athletes were allowed to attend—but on Friday, Hom-

way to credit the fans for helping to elevate the stakes of the game, something they all admitted they had missed during last year’s campaigns. They touted their fanbases as being vital to their performances, claiming that having their supporters back in the gyms and ice rinks helped them to elevate their games. Were there some downsides? Of course. School administrators had to be on their games to ensure these venues wouldn’t become too crowded, and—on a personal level—the admittance of fans made it slightly more difficult for photographers such as myself to access certain areas, but those are tradeoffs that I—and everyone else— are willing to make in the service of school spirit and interscholastic competition. So here’s to a “real” winter season – crowded gyms, close games and raucous fanbases. It’s been too long, but we’re finally back where we belong.

mocks was packed to the rafters with parents and students vociferously cheering on their respective teams. And boy, was it glorious. Now, don’t get me wrong, this isn’t the first time we’ve had fans at games; there were plenty of big crowds at lacrosse, soccer and football matchups throughout the spring and fall seasons. But there’s something special about seeing spectators fill up these small indoor venues, helping the place come alive with their exhortations. There’s an electricity to a lot of these marquee winter matchups that sets them apart from the rest, and on Friday night, Hommocks might as well have been an at-capacity Madison Square Garden for a Knicks or Rangers playoff game. And if you think it’s just me noticing the change, you’d be wrong; its something that our student-athletes recognize, too. All weekend, I spoke to athletes who vocalized their amazement that they were finally playing to packed houses, be it on the ice or on the basketball court. Each one went out of his or her

Game Notes: • Brendan O’Byrne scored the game-winner in OT • Max Baker made 37 saves for Mamaroneck • The Garnets will play Brewster on 12/8 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor It may have taken the Rye Garnets a little while to get going on Friday night, but once they did they demonstrated why they came into the 2020-21 season with such lofty expectations. Facing Division I powerhouse Mamaroneck in their season opener, the Garnets surrendered two early goals before rallying to top the Tigers 4-3 in overtime on a score by Brendan O’Byrne. Coming into the game, Rye head coach Peter Thomas acknowledged that it was possible that the Garnets—getting their first taste of competition this

winter—might be at a disadvantage against the Tigers, who kicked off the season last weekend with two wins at a tournament in Albany. That seemed to bear itself out in the early goings on, as Mamaroneck’s Chris Mathews found the net twice within the span of a minute. But Rye regrouped and began to control the puck, eventually getting one back with 5:40 left to play when Tommy Greenhaw found the net off an assist from Tommy Richardson. “One of the things we were fearful of coming in was that we’d have a little more rust,” explained Thomas. “But to the team’s credit, we didn’t get rattled, we didn’t get fazed, and when Greenhaw scored that goal to make it 2-1, I think that gave us some momentum heading into the second period.” Rye would build on that momentum in the next stanza, tying the game up on a Lukas Elovaara goal with 5:20 left in the period. They would take their first lead of the game the following period when Dempsey Brown beat Tiger net-minder Max Baker with a wrist shot. Although Riku Takaya would even things up a few minutes later to send the game into overtime, O’Byrne would get the game-winner for

Rye just 2:49 into the extra time. According to Thomas, the fact that a number of players with little-to-no varsity experience stepped up to help the Garnets down a highly-touted opponent like Mamaroneck is an encouraging sign of things to come. “The fact that we had three new faces in Greenhaw, Elovaara and Dempsey Brown play a big part, that answered some of our questions,” he said. “Having those new guys step right into prominent roles was really nice to see.” With the loss, Mamaroneck falls to 2-1 on the year, but will look to get back in the win column this week when it tangles with an ETBE squad that has emerged as a true playoff nemesis over the last two seasons. Rye will look to improve upon its first outing when it hosts Brewster on Dec. 8, after press time. “Obviously we were happy with the result against Mamaroneck, but what we’re going to work on is getting out to a quicker start,” said Thomas. “We don’t want to continually end up in situations where we have to dig ourselves out.”
