Con Ed under fire for failed storm response By CHRISTIAN FALCONE Editor-in-Chief
FIELD OF DREAMS Although there has not been an approval for the return of fall high school sports in New York state, it has been announced that kids who partake in remote learning will be eligible to suit up for their respective teams, according to state Education Department guidance. For story, see page 16.
Branda plans 2021 Westchester County executive run By CHRISTIAN FALCONE Editor-in-Chief Dan Branda formalized his candidacy for Westchester County executive this week, getting a jump on a race that is more than a year away. Branda, a Somers resident and former Rob Astorino staffer, will seek the Republican nomination on a familiar party platform of reducing property taxes, but would also form a bipartisan government while investing in county infrastructure and effective constituent services programs, if elected. “I am running for Westchester County Executive because I want to raise my children here,” said
Branda, 40. “However, Westchester is simply unaffordable for too many—including us. The crushing burdens of property taxes and housing costs are proving to be outright… for anyone simply seeking the opportunities that Westchester offers.” And he also has big visions outside the traditional scope of a county executive. A Branda administration would look to create a larger sales tax base to pare down the county’s reliance on property taxes; reduce costs through modern-day efficiencies; build a state public-private partnership and push to halt unfunded mandates handed down from the state.
He’d also plan to invest in major infrastructure projects as a means to rebuilding the economy, and including in his agenda would be an ambitious proposal to bury utility power lines. Westchester is still recovering from Tropical Storm Isaias, which knocked out power to approximately 300,000 Con Edison customers in the New York region. Due to the lingering effects of the coronavirus public health crisis, Branda is bracing for what is expected to be an unorthodox campaign season. Calling it a virtual front-porch campaign, he will look to “aggressively” interact with voters countywide by utilizing several different media outlets.
But that’s not the only obstacle.The Republican will also face nearly insurmountable odds in trying to unseat a popular incumbent in a county that has swung decidedly blue in recent years. Since the election of Donald Trump in 2016, Westchester Democrats have bolstered their registration numbers by more than 35,000 voters to an overall registration advantage of nearly 175,000 voters. Further, County Executive George Latimer, who is expected to seek re-election next year, has never lost an election in 18 contests spanning 33 years. BRANDA continued on page 10
On Monday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo leveled threats against Con Edison, calling the embattled utility company’s response to Topical Storm Isaias “unacceptable.” “There will be storms and the utility companies know that. I’ve spoken to them about this numerous times,” said Cuomo, a Democrat. “The essential service a utility provides is at this point preparing for a storm and recovering from a storm.” Yet as of Wednesday, more than a week after the Aug. 4 storm hit the region, Con Edison was reporting that roughly 350 of its Westchester customers were still without power, according to Alan Drury, a Con Ed spokesman. “The remaining Isaias outages involve extensive damage and complicated restorations for individual customers,” Drury said. The storm, which made its way up the Eastern Seaboard as a category 1 hurricane, tore through the tri-state region with 70-plus mph winds. The damage was severe as trees toppled above ground utility lines throughout Westchester and New York City. In total, 257,000 customers lost power from Isaias, the second highest number of storm-related outages in Con Edison’s history rivaled only by Hurricane Sandy’s 1.1 million outages in 2012. In Westchester, the hardest-hit communities included the cities of Yonkers, New Rochelle, Mount Vernon and Rye, as well as the towns of Cortlandt and New Castle. Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a Democrat, said Con Edison’s performance
“grossly deficient” and called on the state to ensure that the utility company is properly staffed to handle the next significant storm. “The Governor, the New York State Public Service Commission, elected officials of both parties at every level and the customers themselves all recognize… Con Ed was simply not ready,” Latimer added. “It cannot be acceptable to take a week or more to fully restore power, and in this case, from a storm that was not of the magnitude of Hurricane Irene or Superstorm Sandy.” On Aug. 5, Cuomo, a Democrat, directed the state Department of Public Service to launch an investigation into how Con Edison, Verizon, PSEG Long Island, Central Hudson Gas & Electric, Orange and Rockland Utilities, and New York State Electric & Gas failed in such a big way. “The large volume of outages and the utilities’ failure to communicate with customers in real time proves they did not live up to their legal obligations,” he said. “The worst of this situation was avoidable, and it cannot happen again.” Coincidentally, the state Public Service Commission, PSC, announced a $10.75 million settlement with Con Edison and Orange and Rockland Utilities on Aug. 13, after investigating the companies’ response to two winter storms in March 2018; Con Edison is paying $9.5 million of the total. The PSC called the combined settlement “the largest ever of its kind for failure to adequately execute a utility emergency response plan.” CONTACT: chris@hometwn.com

NYC threatens $10K quarantine fine for travelers
On Aug. 5, 2020, New York City officials announced they were setting up checkpoints at bridges and tunnels to ensure visitors adhere to a two-week isolation period when traveling into New York state.
By CHRISTIAN FALCONE Editor-in-Chief Fearing a resurgence of coronavirus infections from outside the Empire State, New York City is setting up checkpoints to curb visitors from disregarding a state quarantine rule, while also threatening fines of up to $10,000 for non-compliance. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat, who announced the plan on Aug. 5, said law enforcement personnel would be stationed at key entry points into the city to provide travelers information about the requirement to quarantine when traveling from a specified set of states. “We’ve got… states now that have dangerously high infection rates, there’s a lot to be concerned about,” he said. “So starting today, we’re going to do something new in New York City.” de Blasio said that under certain circumstances fines could be levied as high as $10,000. “So this is serious stuff and it’s time for everyone to realize it,” he added. “They’ll be reminded that failure to quarantine is a violation of state law.”
The state law, which was put into place by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, on June 25, calls for those traveling or returning to New York from any state where the COVID-19 infection rates exceed 10%, over a seven-day average, to isolate for 14 days upon entering anywhere in the state. Those states are compiled on a list which is updated daily; as of Aug. 14, the list included 33 states. Cuomo then put additional teeth into the law on July 14 when he required passengers of inbound flights to fill out a state Department of Health form providing their contact information and the location of their 14-day quarantine period. The form was also made available on the ny.gov website. And enforcement teams have been stationed at each airport throughout the state to ensure compliance. Violators of Cuomo’s law are subject to $2,000 fines. The restrictions stem from a rise in coronavirus cases in many areas of the country amid concerns over travelers bringing the virus into New York.Last month, a cluster of COVID-19 was found in upstate Rensselaer County af-
ter three residents returned home from Georgia and tested positive. The virus was then transmitted to at least 23 additional people. A cluster was also identified in Chappaqua in June after a participant of a drive-in high school graduation ceremony, who had traveled to Florida, tested positive for COVID-19 and was believed to have infected up to 27 others. Dr. Ted Long, executive director of New York City’s test and trace corps, said that 20% of all new coronavirus cases in the city are from travelers coming from out-of-state. However, New York continues to effectively manage its phased economic rollout without an uptick in cases. As of Aug. 14, the statewide infection rate stood at just 0.9%. “Our numbers continue to remain low and steady, which shows this virus will respond to an approach based on science, not politics,” Cuomo said. “In order to protect this progress, we must keep up our efforts—we cannot go back to the hell we experienced a few months ago.” CONTACT: chris@hometwn.com

Election report offers voting improvements Expanded early voting hours; a multimedia campaign to encourage early voting; multi-lingual video instructions for how to vote absentee; changes in procedures to increase the number of available workers; drop boxes for returning absentee ballots; necessary voting equipment; and information-sharing partnerships with community organizations—these are just some of the recommendations for improving voting this November contained in a newly issued report from the Westchester County Board of Legislators’ Election Information Gathering Task Force. The Task Force was created by county Board of Legislators Chairman Ben Boykin in response to voting challenges that emerged during the June 23 primary elections. The Task Force is co-chaired by legislators Catherine Borgia and Vedat Gashi. The other Task Force members are Vice Chairwoman Alfreda Williams and Majority Leader MaryJane Shimsky. The Task Force gath-
ered information from more than 100 public comments and committee meetings with voter advocates and the county Board of Elections, BOE, commissioners. The 21-page report details some of the things that went right and some of the things that went wrong during the June primaries, as election officials dealt with unprecedented events relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Challenges included multiple state changes to deadlines and absentee voting procedures, difficulty in recruiting and training poll workers, and changes in the availability of many regularly used polling locations. Other recommendations in the report include technology investments to help streamline opening and recording of mailed ballots and improvements to the BOE website. “The Board of Elections faced an extremely difficult set of circumstances in June because of COVID,” said Task Force co-Chair Catherine Borgia. “We have to assume the
situation will be similar this fall, but voter turnout will be much higher. Although the Board of Elections has the sole power and responsibility over the conduct of elections, we hope the information and recommendations we’ve assembled will be helpful to the BOE. The Board of Legislators stands ready to be a partner to the BOE in making sure voters in Westchester have the greatest possible access this fall.” Task Force co-Chair Vedat Gashi added, “The impact of the pandemic on the June primaries was something no one could have been fully prepared for. However, we still have more than 10 weeks before early voting begins in the general election and the experiences of the June primaries to learn from. This report pulls together what we’ve learned since June and I hope the information and recommendations will be valuable to the Board of Elections going forward.” Read the full report at https:// westchesterlegislators.com/images/Newsroom/2020/eigtf-final-report.pdf.

The 2020 JazzFest White Plains festival returns for its ninth year this September as a virtual event for the safety of performers and their fans. The four-day celebration of jazz music and culture sponsored by Bank of America runs from Sept. 8 to 11 on Facebook Live and Zoom. The seven virtual events will feature performances and talks by several jazz stars in Westchester County and New York City, including eighttime Grammy Award nominee and composer Bobby Sanabria; singer Alexis Cole; and drummer Ulysses Owens Jr., who played on vocalist Kurt Elling’s Gram-
my-winning album “Dedicated to You: Kurt Elling Sings the Music of Coltrane and Hartman.” ArtsWestchester, the city of White Plains and the White Plains Business Improvement District will present this season’s festival as a series of stimulating live-streamed programs. Programs will include thought-provoking discussions, energetic performances and educational demonstrations. The events range from a panel discussion on “Jazz Education in Westchester” to an all-originals set by the Isabella Mendes and Flavio Lira Duo, whose work is rooted in Brazilian jazz and bossa nova.
“No other slogan is as dear to performers’ hearts than ‘The show must go on.’ In that spirit we decided to continue our annual jazz festival virtually with the hope of entertaining those sheltering at home, celebrating our rich local jazz history and showcasing the amazing talent in our community,” said Janet Langsam, CEO of ArtsWestchester. “Our Jazz’s Rising Stars program, for example, will feature four of the most sought-after young jazz musicians in the United States— Veronica Swift, Connie Han, Matthew Whitaker, and Alicia Olatuja.” White Plains Mayor Thomas
Roach added, “I am so pleased that this unique event will continue this year. Recreation & Parks Commissioner Wayne Bass, ArtsWestchester and the BID, have worked hard to create the program for this year’s virtual event and it promises to be interesting and fun! I urge everyone to join in and be a part of White Plains JazzFest 2020!” Other JazzFest highlights include a Sept. 10 Jazz at the Intersections program featuring artists pushing the boundaries of jazz by engaging musical traditions alongside and outside the genre.

Former Rob Astorino advisor, Dan Branda is planning a run for Westchester County executive in 2021. Branda officially launched his campaign on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2020.
Branda spent time in the Astorino administration, serving in the communications department of the former Republican Westchester County executive; Astorino left office in 2017 losing re-election to Latimer.According to Branda, the county is currently facing a crushing $250 million budget deficit, unfunded long-term employment liabilities near $4 billion and a deep cut to state aid, so he’ll start his campaign by focusing on property taxes calling it his “most immediate concern.”. “Property taxes are completely disconnected from our ability to pay but can have a devastating impact on families, especially in today’s economic climate,” he
said. “We’re seeing a combustible mix of high unemployment, economic recession, and feckless management of the government’s finances that could easily force untenable property tax increases.” Latimer pledged to freeze property taxes for two years after reaching an agreement in 2019 to raise sales tax rate by 1% as a means to find additional revenue. But with outside aid now in question due to the financial ramifications of COVID-19, the county will have to find a way to close a significant shortfall in the budget over the next few months. “People are going to lose their homes, or be evicted from their apartments, without a sig-
nificant bailout from the federal government because George Latimer spent money he never had and now has no better plan,” he said.Branda has been involved in Westchester politics since 2009. From 2018-2019, he was also the policy director at Reclaim New York, a non-profit good government organization. And just this year he launched a digital marketing and web development business, Branding Company LLC. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 2, 2021. The county executive position serves a fouryear term at an annual salary of $160,000. CONTACT: chris@hometwn.com

Households notified of their children’s eligibility must contact the School Food Authority if they choose to decline the free meal benefits. Households may apply for benefits at any time throughout the school year. Children of parents or guardians who become unemployed or experience a financial hardship mid-year may become eligible for free and reduced price meals or free milk at any point during the school year. For up to 30 operating days into the new school year (or until a new eligibility determination is made, whichever comes first) an individual child’s free or reduced price eligibility status from the previous year will continue within the same SFA. When the carryover period ends, unless the household is notified that their children are directly certified or the household submits an application that is approved, the children’s meals must be claimed at the paid rate. Though encouraged to do so, the SFA is not required to send a reminder or a notice of expired eligibility. The information provided on the application will be confidential and will be used for determining eligibility. The names and eligibility status of participants may also be used for the allocation of funds to federal education programs such as Title I and National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), State health or State education programs, provided the State agency or local education agency administers the programs, and for federal, State or local means-tested nutrition programs with eligibility standards comparable to the NSLP. Eligibility information may also be released to programs authorized under the National School Lunch Act (NSLA) or the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The release of information to any program or entity not specifically authorized by the NSLA will require a written consent statement from the parent or guardian. The School Food Authority does, however, have the right to verify at any time during the school year the information on the application. If a parent does not give the school this information, the child/children will no longer be able to receive free or reduced price meals (free milk). Foster children are eligible for free meal benefits. A separate application for a foster child is no longer necessary. Foster children may be listed on the application as a member of the family where they reside. Applications must include the foster child’s name and personal use income. Under the provisions of the policy, the designated official will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the designated official, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing for a hearing to appeal the decision. Dr. Louis N. Wool, Superintendent of Schools and Robert Salierno, Asst. Supt. for Business, whose address is 50 Union Avenue, Harrison, NY 10528 have been designated as the Hearing Officials. Hearing procedures are outlined in the policy. However, prior to initiating the hearing procedure, the parent or School Food Authority may request a conference to provide an opportunity for the parent and official to discuss the situation, present information, and obtain an explanation of the data submitted in the application or the decisions rendered. The request for a conference shall not in any way prejudice or diminish the right to a fair hearing. Only complete applications can be approved. This includes complete and accurate information regarding: the SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number; the names of all household members; on an income application, the last four digits of the social security number of the person who signs the form or an indication that the adult does not have one, and the amount and source of income received by each household member. In addition, the parent or guardian must sign the application form, certifying the information is true and correct. Beginning July 1, 2019, students in New York State that are approved for reduced price meals will receive breakfast and lunch meals at no charge.

After watching the New York Yankees bury my hapless Red Sox over the weekend, and after seeing what they’ve done in the last year and a half, I have to give them some credit; they’re one heck of an organization. But as far as lessons go, the Yanks are an interesting case; not only do they provide a blueprint for how to build—and sustain—a winning culture for the long haul, they can also be used as an example for young athletes waiting for their time to shine. It goes without saying that the majority of the Yankees’ success over the last 25 years rests firmly on the shoulders of GM Brian Cashman. As an executive, Cashman has utilized all the strengths of his organization, such as financial flexibility, to outbid other teams for high-priced marquee free agents, something which often draws the ire of non-Yanks fans such as myself. But Cash-
man’s true value to the club has never been tied to the Steinbrenners’ deep pocketbooks, it’s been his own ability to draft talented prospects and target the under-utilized talent from other teams. And the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. Over the last two seasons, the Yanks have been absolutely decimated by injuries to their top stars, as players like Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge are frequently sidelined with a wide assortment of ailments. But where the Yanks thrive is a product of their depth. It seems that every time a guy goes down, there’s another unheralded player ready to take his place. Andujar needs surgery? Meet Gio Urshela. Stanton’s on the shelf again? It doesn’t seem to matter because for a few weeks, Mike Tauchman can look like Mickey Mantle. And that’s why I say that looking at the Yankees can be an eye-opener for younger athletes. The idea of “next man up” is a familiar one through all levels

of sports. It’s a phrase that conjures up the image of a star player going down with an injury, only to be replaced by the undersized, scrappy bench guy who ends up making the big play to help his team win. It’s a romantic notion in theory, but it’s something that requires faith, both on the part of coaches and on the part of the players who might not be getting as much playing time as they think they deserve. It’s easy for bench players to become discouraged, to sulk and complain. It’s much harder to show up to practice every day with the mindset that you have the ability to challenge a starter for his or her spot. But the Yankees have somehow fostered that mentality within the clubhouse. Even a guy like On Saturday night, Clint Frazier drove in five runs to help the Yankees beat the Red Sox.

On Aug. 10, NYSPHSAA Executive Director Dr. Robert Zayas announced that student-athletes who belong to school districts that allow remote learning will still be eligible to partake in interscholastic athletics. What high school sports will look like is less clear. Photo/Mike Smith
Remote students eligible for HS sports By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor As school districts around New York state prepare for unprecedented changes to the 202021 academic year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the viability of interscholastic athletics remains uncertain. Last week, NYSPHSAA Executive Director Dr. Robert Zayas offered some clarity on the matter, however, tweeting that student-athletes would be permitted to participate in sports this year even if they—or their school districts—opt to forego in-person schooling. On Aug. 10, Zayas tweeted a passage from the state Education Department that stated students would be eligible for interscholastic competition providing they had enrolled within the first 15 days of the school year, were taking the equivalent of three regular courses including a physical education requirement and attended at least 80% of his or her classes. Zayas added that, after consultation with representatives from the state, it was determined that these regulations would extend to students opting to participate in hybrid or remote learning. “[The] regulation provides a student with the opportunity to participate in interscholastic athletics . . . regardless of the education platform utilized by the school district,” he said. “Students who opt for a remote-only education because of the COVID-19 crisis would be eligible for interscholastic athletics (when permitted) if they meet the Bona Fide student regulation above.” The announcement came as school districts around Section I
are beginning to gear up for their September openings after Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, announced on Aug. 7 that infection levels had dropped low enough to allow in-person learning. Many area districts are currently exploring different approaches to the school year which include a combination of in-person, remote learning or a hybrid modeling incorporating both components. Although the resumption of some club and recreational sports was allowed under Phase 4 of the state’s reopening plan over the summer, the fate of high school sports has been far less clear. All state playoffs and championships have already been canceled to prevent viral spread between different regions of the state, and high school athletic programs are not currently allowed to hold sanctioned off-season practices as the NYSPHSAA is eyeing a delayed start to the fall season. Assuming infection levels continue to trend downwards, fall sports practices would begin on Sept. 21, amounting to what is roughly a one-month suspension in the sports schedule. There are other contingency plans in place should state officials deem it unsafe to begin high school sports in September, including holding all three athletic seasons between January and June. This condensed schedule option could create problems for multi-sport athletes, however, as the overlap between seasons could force some to choose between sports. As of press time, the NYSPHSAA is still waiting on more guidance from state officials. CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
