Scope widens in Gaynor case By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor A lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court last month leveled new abuse allegations against Edwin Gaynor, as yet another accuser has come forward against the former Immaculate Heart of Mary teacher and coach in an ongoing legal saga that began last November. This newest lawsuit however, is the first that does not name Gaynor as a co-defendant, but instead focuses on the roles played by IHM, the Archdiocese of New York and the Sisters of Charity, an order of nuns that were in charge of the Scarsdale elementary school during the time of the alleged abuse. On July 14, Elmsford resident Robert Reno became the 23rd plaintiff to accuse Gaynor of sexual abuse in a Child Victims Act lawsuit, filing court documents that allege that the now 85-year-old Ossining resident Westchester residents still remain without power nearly a week molested him between 1964 and after Tropical Storm Isaias ripped through the region and left 1965, when the plaintiff was a path of destruction in its wake. For more, see page 6. a student at IHM. Court documents show that at least eight of the 23 men who have come forward with similar claims against Gaynor say that the abuse occurred at IHM in the early-tomid 1960s, and at least one— Quentin Durning—can be idenone month early, Census workers local governments.

Bronx-based congregation that was founded in 1809 and, according to the organization’s website, has opened or staffed 185 schools and 23 childcare institutions since the mid-19th Century. The organization was tasked with educational and administrative duties at the IHM school in the 1960s, according to the June 25 testimony of Dan O’Hare, who replaced Gaynor as the athletic director at IHM after the latter was dismissed due to alleged sexual misconduct with a student. Several of the accusers from the 1960s allege that their complaints about Gaynor’s behavior were ignored by those in charge, while O’Hare’s deposition also shed some light into the hierarchical structure at IHM during the time period. “One [sister] was a principal, the others were teachers of various grades,” O’Hare testified. “The day-to-day operations were the sisters, and then the lay person and then the parish priest was . . . an underling of the pastor.” The Sisters of Charity were replaced by another order, the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill in 1967 or 1968, which coincides with Gaynor’s initial dismissal from the parish. Gaynor would move to a new position as a coach at Holy Rosary in Hawthorne in the late 1960s before returning to IHM as a CYO basketball coach at some point in the 1980s. He has been accused of sexual abuse at both stops following his initial dismissal from IHM. According to O’Hare’s testimony, the Dominican Sisters would remain in charge of education at IHM until the mid1970s when administrative duties were handed over primarily to lay people.

10 Things Pregnant Women Should Know About COVID-19 Protect you and your baby from the coronavirus Dr. Anna Burgansky, director of obstetrics and gynecology, chief of the division of general OB/GYN at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital, and an assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons provides 10 tips women should know about Pregnancy and COVID-19. • Boost Your Immune System: Keep your immunity as strong as you can by taking care of yourself. Resting, taking Vitamin C and prenatal vitamins, maintaining healthy weight, and regular physical activity are all helpful ways to boost immunity. • Video Visits: If you have a healthy pregnancy with no complications, consider transitioning one or more prenatal appointments to a video visit. You may also opt to have fewer or more spaced out prenatal visits with your provider. • Hospitals Are Safe for Delivery: It is safe to have your baby at a hospital. Hospitals maintain all safety protocols and use personal
protective equipment (PPE). • Review your Birth Plan: Talk with your doctor about your birth plan during COVID-19. In most cases, your timing and method of delivery do not need to be changed. Check with your hospital if you plan to use a doula. • Breastfeeding is OK: Once baby arrives, if you have COVID-19 or suspect that you do, you can breastfeed your baby. The majority of available data does not show presence of the virus in breastmilk. Take proper precautions to avoid spreading the virus by washing your hands before touching your infant and wear a face mask. • Check Travel Advisories: Travel increases the risk of getting or spreading COVID-19, and pregnant women might be at increased risk for severe illness from COVID and experience adverse outcomes, such as pre-term birth. Follow your local and national travel restrictions. • If You Have Symptoms, Call Your Doctor: If you develop symptoms of
COVID-19, such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath, call your OB/GYN or healthcare provider before going to the hospital, whenever possible, to discuss your symptoms and options. • Cover Up: Wear a mask in public places, avoid crowds, and practice social distancing by staying at least 6 feet away from others. Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue or with your elbow to keep hands germ-free. • Avoid People Who Are Sick: Avoid close contact with anyone who is sick and stay home when you are sick. Also, stay home as much as possible if there are widespread cases of coronavirus in your area. • Keep It Clean: Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces. About Dr. Anna Burgansky Anna Burgansky, MD, chief of

And…Action! Media production resumes in Westchester As Westchester County starts back up again in Phase Four of the New York Forward Plan for reopening, media production has resumed in the county—long a hot destination for the film and television industries. “It’s not surprising that production companies want to be back in Westchester County,” County Executive George Latimer said. “Our diverse locations and landscapes offer a breath of fresh air and ample space for film, television, and commercial production crews to safely set up and socially distance on set. We are really excited to welcome them back.” With a small commercial production just completed in the village of Mamaroneck, a music video shoot scheduled at Playland later this month, and several other productions considering locations, Westchester is on its way back. “Mamaroneck is happy to host this production,” village of Mamaroneck Mayor Tom Murphy said. “We are glad to see economic activity returning safely, both to the Village and to Westchester County.” Since Phase Four began on July
7, Westchester County Tourism & Film, WCTF, has fielded several inquiries from location scouts interested in starting new projects. “We are eager to help jumpstart film production in Westchester,” said Natasha Caputo, county Tourism & Film director. “We can help you scout a location, and connect you to local crews and services. What’s more, we are well-versed in the latest state guidelines and health and safety protocols, and we’re ready to help expedite the permitting process.” Location manager Les Fincher worked with county and village officials on the recent one-day pharma commercial shoot. With new maximum occupancy guidelines in mind, Fincher secured two, side-by-side homes for filming; one property served as the set location and the other as space for the 37-member production crew, who were fully masked. Separate pop-up tents housed production departments; equipment was frequently cleaned and disinfected; food service was set up in individual portions; and communication between the director, producer and talent occurred via a remote
online platform. Fincher said the film office was instrumental in facilitating production. “Westchester made it easy for us to get back to set, safely and smartly. We were able to find the locations we needed, obtain permits, and enjoy the cooperation of the town and neighborhood,” Fincher said. “There were adjustments, but once we started, the creative process was the same. It felt normal. We were happy to back to work.” A Key Economic Driver Prior to the shutdown, Westchester was experiencing a film boom. Inquiries from location scouts about Westchester locations were up 28%, year to date, over last year, with production days seeing a 40% rise. In addition, revenue from film permitting at county-owned properties was up more than 70%. “The film industry is an important economic driver for the County and its local communities, which also benefit from film and television production,” Latimer said. “This will play an important role in our recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
With a small commercial production just completed in the village of Mamaroneck, a music video shoot scheduled at Playland later this month, and several other productions considering locations, Westchester is on its way back as a media production hotspot.
Westchester has served as the backdrop for award-winning films and episodic television shows, including “The Irishman” (Netflix); “Fosse/Verdon” (FX); and “Mr. Robot” (Amazon) drama. Other recent productions filmed here include “The Americans”
(FX); “Divorce” (HBO); “Law and Order: SVU” (NBC); “Saturday Night Live” (NBC) and “The Goldfinch” (Amazon).”Westchester County is a top destination for film production because of the vast array of film-friendly locations we offer within the New
York City film zone,” Caputo said. “We’re within easy reach and we offer hands-on support to make it easy to film here. In these challenging times, we’re here to help troubleshoot, solve problems, and provide assistance in any way we can.” (Submitted)

Utility crews arriving from outside the region are supplementing Con Edison’s 24/7 restoration of customers affected by Storm Isaias, whittling outage numbers to 66,000. The focus is on Westchester, where about 41,000 customers have no service. In New York City, Queens has about 14,000, the Bronx 8,000, Staten Island 1,500 and Brooklyn more than 1,200 remaining out. “We realize it’s very frustrating to be without electricity,” said Matthew Ketschke, Con Edison’s senior vice president of Customer Energy Solutions, “and that’s why we have crews working around the clock to restore power. We’re committed to doing this job quickly and safely, and we won’t rest until every customer is back in service.” Because the coronavirus pandemic has made it even more difficult to be without power, Con Edison announced an expanded claims policy. Customers without power for 48 hours or more since Thursday can fill out a claims form to cover spoiled food, medication or perishable commercial merchandise.
Westchester County communities with significant numbers of customers remaining out include Yonkers, Rye, New Rochelle, North Castle, New Castle and Mamaroneck. Con Edison expects the vast majority of customers affected by the storm in Westchester to be restored by Monday at 11 p.m. The company will continue to work around the clock to restore the remaining customers. The storm caused more than 300,000 customers to lose service. Tremendous damage from toppled trees and limbs required a infrastructure rebuild in many instances, destroying transformers and snapping poles. Con Edison has 1,700 of its own employees and an additional 1,300 contractors and mutual aid workers assisting with restoration. The company continues to receive reports of downed wires. The company assures the public that it is sending crews to these locations. Con Edison cautions everyone to stay away from downed wires. Do not assume they are de-energized. They may be live.
The company is keeping its customers informed during the process. Nearly 200,000 customers reported their outages, including 85% who utilized text, the internet or a voice response system. Con Edison has sent more than 1.5 million texts and phone messages to customers to update them on outage restoration efforts. Ninety percent of customers who lost power have been contacted with individual restoration times. Con Edison is making daily outbound calls to customers who are on emergency equipment for health reasons. More than 800,000 outbound calls to these customers were made during the event. Con Edison also is leveraging technology with a new damage assessment app allowing field workers to make detailed reports on conditions and request needed materials. Smart meter data also has been utilized to communicate more effectively and streamline operations. Customers are urged to report an outage and check restoration status at conEd.com/
reportoutage, or with Con Edison’s mobile app for iOS or Android devices, or by calling 1-800-75-CONED (1-800-7526633). Customers can sign up for text alerts at conEd.com/text. The messages remind customers to be prepared and to report an outage by simply replying OUT to the text. Customers who report outages will receive updates from Con Edison with their estimated restoration times as they become available. Information on outages and restoration times is also available at the Con Edison outage map. Con Edison personnel practice social distancing to keep everyone safe from the coronavirus. Con Edison is following the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Con Edison offers the following storm tips: • Do not go near downed wires. Treat downed wires as if they are live. Never touch them with your hands or any object. Be mindful that downed wires can be hidden from view by tree limbs, leaves or water. • Report all downed wires to
Con Edison and your local police department immediately. If a power line falls on your car while you’re in it, stay inside the vehicle and wait for emergency personnel. • If your power goes out, disconnect or turn off appliances that would otherwise turn on automatically when service is restored. If several appliances start up at once, the electric circuits may overload. • Make sure flashlights and any battery-operated radios or televisions are in working order. Make sure you have a supply of extra batteries. Weather updates and news on restorations of electrical service can be heard on most local radio and television stations. For more storm tips and preparation, go to www.conEd.com Customers can follow Con Edison on Twitter or like us on Facebook for general outage updates, safety tips and storm preparation information. In addition, the company is in close contact with New York City Emergency Management and the Westchester County Department of Emergency Services to coordinate storm response if needed. (Submitted)

What to expect from a
telehealth visit
WIKIMEDIA
Virtual visits have become a more familiar part of American health care. While doctors and patients may miss the face-to-face interaction, telemedicine options allow people to confer with physicians and clinicians over the phone, tablet or computer. “Virtual visits are an efficient and convenient way for health care providers to see and treat people,” said Dr. Stephen Morgan, senior vice president and chief medical information officer at the Carilion Clinic and a faculty member at the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. “Telehealth is a delivery model that connects the medical professional with a patient through a technolo-
gy platform,” said Darwin Fogt, a practicing physical therapist and founder of Phzio, a telerehab platform with more than 1,000 therapists in 40 states. “This allows the patient and provider to be located in different geographic places. The medical professional can communicate freely with the patient and conduct tests to determine diagnosis and establish a plan of care.” Virtual visits have existed for years, first adopted by rural communities that did not have access to medical services, Fogt said. They became more prevalent after the COVID-19 crisis made people hesitant to visit hospitals and clinics filled with sick people. They can be done live
by telephone or video or sician responds at another through an asynchronous time, Morgan said. The length of time spent visit, where the patient uses on a virtual visit is often the same as an in-person visit, but wait time for an appointment is often a little less, plus there’s the convenience of not having to get to the office and wait, Morgan said. In addition to improved access “They do not lend to care, other benefits of themselves to care telehealth include reduced where I need to see a costs and reduced risks of patient and do an exam, exposing oneself to other if I have to listen to the sick patients, Fogt said. vary by state, and heart or lungs or palpate a Laws face-to-face visit may or feel something.” be required before estabDr. Stephen Morgan lishing virtual care, Morgan said. Physicians can a secure HIPAA-secure plat- prescribe medications and form to share information, digitally send a prescription photos or video and a phy- to a local pharmacy.
While virtual visits are not for every condition, they work well for a variety of treatments including follow-up visits for people suffering from chronic illnesses such as diabetes; diagnosing fever, sore throat, cough or allergies; and physical therapy, Morgan said. Some specialties like dermatology and psychiatry can mirror in-person visits. “They do not lend themselves to care where I need to see a patient and do an exam, if I have to listen to the heart or lungs or palpate or feel something,” Morgan said. To make the most out of your virtual visit, prepare for it in the same way you would for an in-person visit, Morgan said. Be ready with
any issues and questions you would like the physician to address as well as a list of medications you’re currently taking. Ensure your technology works and you have an adequate network signal from Wi-Fi or cellular. “Oftentimes, this means turning off any other device in the home which may be using bandwidth or streaming other content,” Fogt said. Make sure the room is quiet without distracting ambient noise and that the lighting is good, Morgan said. Telehealth is a benefit for both patients and medical experts and well suited for the next generation of providers, Fogt said.

Retirement for Boomers
That gut feeling How bacteria in your gut interact with the mind and body By American Heart Association News Many people are familiar with the idea that gut bacteria are important for health. Given their location, you might assume that role is only about digestion. But evidence is mounting that the microbes in our intestines interact with our minds — and hearts — in significant ways. Gut bacteria have been linked to depression, anxiety and the regions of the brain that process emotions. These regions share brain circuitry that affects cardiovascular issues such as blood pressure. “People have co-evolved with environmental bacteria (that have) adapted over eons to being at home in human bodies. The present-day result is that our metabolism, our neurons and indeed our entire physiology is an interactive crosstalk with the bacteria in our bodies,” said Bruce R. Stevens, professor of physiology and functional genomics in the College of Medicine at the University of Florida in Gainesville. He perceives humans and gut bacteria as one interactive “meta-organism” — a single ecology of human cells plus bacterial cells. The idea that guts and minds are linked goes back centuries, and the influence of gut bacteria on our health has been discussed in the
press for years. But recently, after thousands of published articles, understanding of the links has grown immensely. For example, studies show transferring gut bacteria from depressed people into lab rats can cause the rats to exhibit depression-like behaviors. Similar mouse studies show gut bacteria affect anxiety. Dr. Kirsten Tillisch, professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, led a study in 2013 that was the first to show eating a bacteria-friendly, or probiotic, food — in this case, yogurt — affected regions in the brain associated with processing of emotion and sensation in healthy women with no psychiatric symptoms. Four years later, her team linked specific gut bacterial profiles to brain differences in those regions. How might tiny microbes exert such great influence? Stevens explained some basics. First, the number of bacteria in your gut is vast — 50 trillion or so, which equals about one for every human cell in our bodies. The makeup of this bacterial collection, or microbiome, is affected by many things, including diet, exercise and cultural influences. Those bacteria interact

with the brain and other organs in three ways. First, the gut and brain communicate by molecules carried in the blood, and microbes influence those chemical messages. Microbes also interact with the gut’s special nervous system, called the enteric nervous system. It has a direct, two-way connection with the brain via the central nervous system. Finally, the immune system of the gut wall and the body’s other immune components respond to gut microbes, affecting the brain and organs. Here’s one example of how it all ties together.
You might have heard of serotonin and dopamine, neurotransmitter molecules that steer mood and behavior in brain circuits. These molecules also are found in the gut. In fact, Stevens said, most of the body’s serotonin comes from the gut wall. Gut bacteria also use them to signal the gut’s nervous system and its direct link to the brain. The bacterial messages also can prompt responses from the body’s immune system. Summed up: “Your gut, your brain and your immune system interact,” Stevens said. “The triangulation of those things controls much of your other physiology,
whether it’s blood pressure, metabolism or mood.” Plus, it’s two-way communication, he said. “We use their molecules; they use our molecules and physiology in a mutualistic way.” Our understanding of these interactions, he said, could someday open the door to better treatment, diagnosis and prevention for disorders of the heart and mind. To Tillisch, the bodybrain link to the gut biome is significant not just for what it might do in the future, but for what anyone can do with it now. “I really feel like all the research to date has pointed
us to really basic concepts” that add up to “what we eat and how we live our lives is going to affect our health, whether it’s our mental health, whether it’s our cardiovascular health, whether it’s our gut health, whether it’s our neurologic health.” She’s intrigued by the prospect that an understanding of gut bacteria might someday explain why some people can, say, eat a seemingly unhealthy food but stay thin. But for now, she said, we can use our knowledge to do what we already know is good for us – such as avoid processed foods and eat more fruits and vegetables.

Waiting is the hardest part LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
One of the great things about the start of any new sports season is that, no matter how dreadful one’s team might be, there’s always a honeymoon period during which a club’s deficiencies can be ignored and hope can flourish. But with coronavirus wreaking havoc on the professional landscape this year, that honeymoon period has become shorter than ever. On Aug. 1, the NHL season official resumed, with a Stanley Cup Playoffs qualifying tournament that featured, against all odds, a New York Ranger team that would’ve been on the wrong side of the playoff picture in any normal year. But when the play-in format was announced in July and the Rangers—who finished the regular regular season in seventh place in their own division— were going to be a part of it, I
began to get greedy. I looked at their opponent in the higher-seeded Carolina Panthers and saw a team that the often-hapless Rangers had dominated thoroughly throughout the year. I saw that banged up stars like Chris Kreider would be back and healthy for the playoff push. I looked at rookie phenom Igor Shestyorkin as the missing piece, the kind of netminder who might be able to will the Blue Shirts to victory with some phenomenal performances between the pipes. And in doing so, I completely forgot all the reasons that conspired to keep the Rangers from making the postseason initially. I was quickly reminded of that in Game 1, however. With Shestyorkin sidelined with a mysterious “unfit to play” designation, veteran Henrik Lundqvist got the start and surrendered a goal just 1:01 after the puck dropped. It was a harbringer of things to come. Four days later, it was over.
The Rangers were swept in three straight games, exhibiting all of the flaws that made them so frustrating to watch throughout the year. Defensive zone turnovers, spotty special teams play and offensive inconsistency had been a calling card all year long, but in my excitement to have Rangers’ hockey back on my television, I willfully ignored those traits to look at the Carolina matchup through rose-colored glasses. And now, as the playoffs continue, I’ll be forced to watch the teams I don’t care about, or even worse the Islanders, take the ice on a nightly basis as my Rangers head home for the summer. For how much I had built up a potential deep playoff run in my mind, it doesn’t seem fair that it all vanished in the blink Sports Editor Mike Smith was understandably excited to see the NHL—and the Rangers—return last week for of an eye. the Stanley Cup Playoff Qualifying Round.
