Latimer: ‘The state of our county is fierce’
Say it ain’t so After 45 years and the lingering threat of COVID-19, The Westchester Broadway Theatre has made the difficult decision to close its doors. For more, see page 6.
Cares Act funding is available for Westchester businesses The WPWDB has received CARES Act funding to assist employers in hiring new staff or bringing back laid off staff through its “Experience Works” Program. This program provides paid employment to each participant from the agreement activation date until Dec. 30. The program is designed to provide timely support to small business owners and job seekers effected by COVID-19. Small businesses—the largest employers in Westchester—are particularly in need in this time and the program will allow them to hire or rehire staff while giving them temporary relief from payroll obligations. Job seekers experiencing uncertain employment, the possible need to change careers midstream and the challenges of working effectively remotely will directly benefit from this program. The WPWDB will pay the employee for 100%
of their wages at the employer’s wage rate commensurate for their job description and title. The program runs to Dec. 30 and all funds must be utilized by Dec. 30. How it works: Participants will be paid at the employer’s wage rate up on a bi-weekly basis, after which time the WPWDB will work with the employer for continued employment/training services. The participant will be a 1099 contractor of the WPWDB and will receive payment directly. No withholding taxes will be deducted; the participant is responsible for federal and state taxes on the income as well as FICA and Medicare. They will receive a 1099-MISC for 2020 tax returns. There are no eligibility requirements. Any employer may apply. Employer Responsibility: • Complete the “Experience Works” Program agreement form providing candidate
names and positions; • Add the participant to the employer’s worker’s compensation policy and provide a copy of the coverage; • Provide daily supervision of participant and ensure work tasks and duties are commensurate with the job description; • Provide the WPWDB with weekly attendance records. • Participant Responsibility: • Complete “Experience Works” form. • Complete and supply an Electronic Fund Transfer, EFT, and W-9 form to the WPWDB. • Be responsible for federal and state taxes as well as FICA and Medicare. “Our Employment Services Staff is ready to accept applications and answer any questions to facilitate the fast activation of
potential hires or rehires to their staff. We are eager to provide immediate assistance to alleviate some of the financial duress employers and employees are facing,” WPWDB Executive Director Thom Kleiner said. “We especially urge small business owners to take advantage of this unique opportunity that Westchester County Executive [George] Latimer has provided at this critical time.” The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, CARES, Act was passed by Congress with and signed into law by President Trump on March 27, 2020. It provides fast and direct economic assistance for American workers, families and small businesses, and preserve jobs for American industries.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer delivered his third State of the County Address in the Legislative Chambers of the Board of Legislators. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic Latimer delivered his speech virtually, acknowledging that 2020 has been a difficult year for Westchester, but vowing to restore our county back stronger than what it was before. “My friends, we all know the storm clouds still hang over us, we know this squall is far from over—but I am here to tell you tonight that the State of our County is fierce,” Latimer said. “We are our County, every single one of us, and we are imaginative, and resourceful and we will not let any storm, no matter how heavy the rain or how vicious the winds, claim victory over us. Ever.” The address included a series of short videos that detailed the path the county was on prior to the onset of coronavirus, the county’s unified response to the pandemic, a tribute to the Board of Legislators for their work during the pandemic, and a plan to move Westchester County forward. The speech also highlighted several initiatives the Latimer Administration accomplished over the past year, including: • Passing a 2020 Budget that included a $1 million cut to the Westchester County Property Tax Levy • Reestablishing the Urban County Consortium, and the Community Development Block Grant Program • Breaking Ground on the Memorial Field Reconstruction Project in Mount Vernon • Furthering Fair and Affordable Housing in Westchester • Creating a robust census outreach and awareness campaign • Funding for various environmental initiatives, and a
Food Scrap Recycling Program Latimer commended Dr. Sherlita Amler and the Westchester County Department of Health, who rose to the task from the onset of COVID-19, acknowledging that Westchester was one of the first known hotspots in the country. “In the beginning of March our public health nurses, especially the first three out in the field: Chevon Jones, Caitlin Doyle-Goldsmith, and Cathy Gomez, were busy diagnosing the first cases in New Rochelle,” Latimer said. “They weren’t scared, they didn’t hesitate, in fact their words to 60 Minutes were: ‘This is what public health is, and so this is what we do. This is our job.’ It might be their job—but they are also heroes in every sense of the word, and for that we thank them.” Latimer also touched on a series of initiatives focused on economic recovery that have been rolled out over the past few months, to help the county’s economy build back stronger. “We set aside ten million dollars in funding to create an initiative to support small businesses and nonprofits facing challenges due to COVID-19,” Latimer said. “Westchester County Business FIRST: Financial Investments for Recovery and a Sustainable Tomorrow is a new grant program designed to offer immediate financial relief to organizations in Westchester that have been negatively impacted by the pandemic.” Latimer closed by reflecting on the many challenges Westchester County has faced this year, and promising to meet every one of those challenges head-on. “We pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off and move forward. Together. United,” the county executive said in conclusion. (Submitted)

County recognizes ‘The Arc Westchester Day’
Signage proclaiming Oct. 20 as “The Arc Westchester Day” at the Westchester County Center.
The Arc Westchester is pleased to announce that Oct. 20, 2020 was officially named “The Arc Westchester Day” in Westchester County. Members of the organization’s executive team participated in a ceremony with Westchester County Executive George Latimer at the county office building in White Plains where they were presented with a proclamation in honor of the designation. This proclamation was in recognition of The Arc Westches-
ter’s efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic and its support of individuals with developmental disabilities. The celebration falls during an important month for the organization, as October is both National Disability Employment Awareness Month and Down Syndrome Awareness Month. “I accept this proclamation on behalf of our 850 professionals who have been providing residential services, day programming, early intervention thera-
pies, preschool education, recreational services, meaningful employment and volunteer opportunities to those we support,” said Tibi Guzmán, executive director/ CEO, The Arc Westchester. “Our professionals have provided continuous supports to our individuals throughout the pandemic. Our heroes always kept our core values present at all times, while keeping health and safety at the forefront.” Oct. 20, 2020 would have been The Arc Westchester’s largest annual fundraiser, “A Matter of Taste”. But, as so many have done, the event was pivoted to focus on what matters most—the safety of the community. Through the efforts of The Arc Westchester Foundation, the organization has continued to be supported during this unprecedented time. “It’s with great pleasure, and even greater gratitude, that I report, thanks to our generous donors, we are close to reaching our fundraising goal for this year’s ‘A Matter of Safety,’ an appeal we put together to support The Arc Westchester’s vital programs and services, and to offset the in-

credible expenses associated with keeping our individuals safe, happy and healthy during this pandemic,” said Nancy Patota, executive director, The Arc Westchester Foundation. “A Matter of Taste” is a signature event, typically held at Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle, featuring culinary offerings from the county’s top restaurants. In honor of Arc Westches-
ter Day, Sam’s of Gedney Way, a longtime participant, donated 10% of all proceeds from dine-in and takeout orders from 4 p.m.9 p.m. on Oct. 20 to support The Arc Westchester. Sam’s of Gedney Way owner Peter Hererro serves as co-chair for “A Matter of Taste” each year. “I’m proud to proclaim October 20, 2020 as ‘The Arc Westchester Day’ in Westchester
County,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “They annually provide support to over 2,000 individuals and have gone above and beyond during the pandemic to ensure health and safety. I look forward to the next ‘A Matter of Taste’ event when we can celebrate their outstanding work together.” For more information, visit arcwestchester.org. (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.

The Westchester Broadway Theatre will close its doors after 45 years of business due to COVID-19. The work that WBT has done over the years has been truly historic and will go down in history, not only in Westchester but in the theatre industry as New York’s longest running equity theatre. Over the years, Westchester Broadway Theatre, WBT, has produced 217 musicals, hosted numerous concerts, benefits and fundraisers, employed 5,000 theatre professionals, many who have gone on to Broadway and beyond, and served more than 6 million customers. As the world has been plugged into an intense emergency, we have determined there is no way we can reopen when the ban is lifted on live theatre. Dinner-theatre, because of social distancing requirements, will be the last entertainment category to be given permission. Our landlord does not want to continue supporting our lease. Sadly, the interior is to be destroyed and the building turned into a warehouse.
“It is with a great sadness that we say goodbye. We wish you much good will in the future. We will miss you!” said Bob Funking, Bill and Von Ann Stutler, founders of the Westchester Broadway Theatre, in a letter to employees. The art of presenting live theatre is one of New York State’s largest industries. It has been greatly affected by the pandemic leaving many shows on hold, 12 million people out of work and numerous patrons with outstanding tickets to shows. However, Westchester residents will still have a professional equity theatre in their backyard to attend when restrictions are lifted. The White Plains Performing Arts Center, which is located in downtown White Plains, has used this down-time to make many new renovations to accommodate the “new world of theatre” when Gov. Cuomo authorizes theaters to reopen. Everything from air purification systems to advanced cleaning solutions
and social distancing has been put in place. “As someone who grew up seeing and working on shows at WBT, it’s with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our colleague,” said Stephen Ferri, White Plains PAC’s executive producer. “The work they have done over the years was remarkable. When we heard of this news, we knew we had to do something to not only honor their legacy but also make sure we keep professional theatre alive in Westchester. We are honored to have the torch passed to us at White Plains PAC to take on that task.” White Plains PAC has generously offered to try assisting affected WBT ticket holders by honoring outstanding tickets and gift cards for a future White Plains PAC show. This will be a way to give back to the community and keep the industry alive, as well as fulfill the outstanding obligations to patrons. Eligible patrons will be contacted in the coming weeks with details about the exchange program. (Submitted)

Expert panel addresses domestic violence By LARRY THAUL Overall, there has been a surge of domestic violence reports nationwide since June. Fully one in four people may experience an abusive relationship over a lifetime. More than 15 million children in the U.S. live in homes where domestic violence has occurred at least once, making them at greater risk for repeating the cycle by entering abusive relationships as adults or by perpetrating the abuse themselves. These reports came from experts on domestic violence at the Oct. 13 meeting of the Larchmont/ Mamaroneck Local Summit, co-hosted by LMC Media. Susan Carroll, director, Training, Outreach and Education at the Pace Women’s Justice Center, PWJC, defined “intimate partner violence” as a pattern of abusive behavior characterized by threats and actions beyond physical abuse to include varieties of control and coercion: sexual, verbal, emotional and financial. These might include stealing, limiting access to accounts, disclosure of LGBTQ or disabil-
ities, and manipulating child custody arrangements. She pointed out there are often many barriers preventing victims from coming forward: undocumented status, housing crisis, food instability, income dependency and public shame. Carroll said that PWJC offers free walk-in clinics in White Plains and Yonkers where the courts hear the cases. PWJC features a one-hour free consult for housing, custody support and related issues. Their website, https://law.pace.edu/wjc, gives the full range of programs along with the contact phone numbers. Lt. Sandra DiRuzza, a 16-year veteran of the village of Mamaroneck Police Department, founded the domestic violence unit there. She said in 2019 they had 168 reported incidents, though 2020 has not shown a significant uptick. She pointed to the changing societal attitude, from domestic violence being a private, family matter, to now being viewed as a crime, making it more likely to be reported. In 1994, the landmark Family Protection and Domestic Violence and Prevention Act from
the New York State Legislature called for the mandatory arrest of same-household alleged perpetrators where the officer believes a specific crime has been committed, regardless whether the victim wants the arrest made. The objective is to hold accountable those guilty of abusive behavior. Referrals come to the department via local agencies, schools, and the family court. DiRuzza and the Mamaroneck police are committed to investigating reported incidents and providing assistance to victims to end the cycle. Another helpful resource is the Westchester Community Opportunity Program/Victim Assistance Services, https://westcop. org/victims-assistance-services/. Edith Ramos, a bilingual victim advocate there, described the organization as providing free and confidential assistance to victims of domestic violence. She stressed that victims should use the helpline, confidential chat option and the all-new ‘Text-Us’ option on their website. She noted that the insufficiency of shelters is a growing issue.
Interrupting the cycle of violence before it starts is the goal of Quentin Walcott, co-executive director of CONNECT, https:// www.connectnyc.org/. Most of their programs are geared toward women and girls, and batterer intervention. But his group also works closely with boys and men to help them understand their role as men and fathers. They work on changing underlying
thinking, attitudes and behaviors, resulting in better choices and outcomes. A list of organizations for help with domestic violence can be found on the Local Summit website at https://www.localsummitlm.org/. This forum was co-hosted by the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Local Summit and LMC Media. The Local Summit is an informal
community council that seeks to make life better for all in the tri-municipal area. To view this Zoom Forum: http://bit.ly/lmcmedia_summit_dv.

Health News
Surviving THE election How to protect yourself from the stress of politics
We interrupt your latest binge of breaking political news, fear-provoking campaign commercials and angry posts from your favorite pundit to report that politics can be stressful. That stress can be bad for your health. But — some good news here—you can take steps to manage it. If the election has your heart racing and stomach churning, you have company. According to the American Psychological Association’s Stress in America survey for July, 77% of Democrats and 62% of Republicans said the political climate was a significant source of stress. A study published last September in the journal PLoS ONE hinted at the toll such stress can take: Roughly a fifth or more of 800 respondents reported losing sleep, being fatigued or suffering depression because of politics. More than 11% said politics had hurt their physical health at least a little.
That’s a lot of stress-sick people, said the study’s lead author, Kevin B. Smith, the Leland J. and Dorothy H. Olson Chair of Political Science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
14- to 24-year-olds about the 2016 presidential election. Before the election, 86% reported issues such as anxiety, fear or the feeling that things were out of their control. About a fifth reported physi-
According to the American Psychological Association’s Stress in America survey for July, 77% of Democrats and 62% of Republicans said the political climate was a significant source of stress. “You’re talking about tens of millions of people who say, ‘I’m losing sleep because of politics. I’ve lost a friend because of politics,’” Smith said. Melissa DeJonckheere, an assistant professor in the department of family medicine at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, had similar findings in a smaller survey that questioned
cal problems — not being able to sleep, and even nausea. It was a nonpartisan problem, she said. “Even people who said that they don’t follow politics, or they’re explicitly not interested in any of the candidates, were still having negative emotional responses to the election.” That research, published in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
and Mental Health in 2018, noted that stress in youth has been linked to cardiovascular disease, depression, substance abuse, behavioral problems and more in adolescents, plus problems in adulthood. Smith, who has done extensive work on the biology of political behavior, said the question of whether political stress affects us differently than other types of stress hasn’t been answered. But he suspects a few modern factors might be making things worse. “We have an incredibly polarized political environment right now,” he said. And thanks to smartphones and computers, we’re constantly soaking in it. “It’s just omnipresent in our lives,” he said. He contrasted it to the stress that comes from, say, being a football fan. He is one, and every year, “I produce a lot of stomach acid over the Dallas Cowboys’ playoff chances. But the football season ends,
and that stress goes away. “The political season never ends.” The anxiety is not always accidental. Campaigns can feed off of fear, said Dr. Robert Waldinger, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School in Boston and director of the Harvard Study of Adult Development. After all, they’re trying to make voters choose sides. Couple that with the divisions that have been fanned about how to respond to the coronavirus, he said, and “our bodies are much more in chronic fight-or-flight mode than they probably were before the pandemic.” To cope, Waldinger — who is also a Zen priest — recommends regulating your exposure to the constant stream of scary political news. “One of my meditation teachers has a quote that I really like. She said, ‘Your mind is like tofu; it tastes like whatever you marinate it in,’” he said. He stays in-
formed by reading the newspaper in the morning, later listens to a little radio, but avoids TV entirely. “And I try my best to stay away from the news feed on my phone.” However you choose to get news, “be careful and be deliberate,” Waldinger said. “And don’t do it late in the day as you’re wanting to settle down and sleep.” DeJonckheere said unpublished findings suggest that her young participants found relief by becoming more civically engaged. “The youth in our study talked about taking on activist roles, volunteering, taking more classes to learn about how politics affects them,” she said. She thought that could be particularly important for people who are too young to vote, because it could give them a sense of control and purpose, which can help reduce stress and improve mental health.

Ready for another sports drought LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
As much as it pains me to say it, we appear to be headed toward another “dark” time—at least when it comes to professional sports. Obviously, with everything going on in the world, I don’t want to be Mr. Doom and Gloom, but anyone reading this has to admit; after a rather lengthy stretch during which we enjoyed an absolute glut of televised sports, the next few months promise to be quite lacking in the options department. In the early goings of the coronavirus pandemic shutdown, sports fans looking for any sort of respite from depressing news were straight out of luck; as outbreak concerns began to shutter major American sports’ leagues, there were few places for viewers to turn. Some opted to dive into sports documentaries, like the
Michael Jordan-centric The Last Dance. Others turned their gaze overseas to tune-in to the foreign sports leagues that had resumed, like the Korean Baseball Organization. Sure, the KBO games were on late, but it wasn’t like most people had to get up early to head into the office. But things changed over the summer. Major League Baseball—which had never gotten its 2020 season off the ground—finally got going. The NHL and NBA put their postseason teams in bubbles and began the process of crowning a champion. The NFL—always king of the autumn—came back as well and we found ourselves with all four major sports humming along at the same time, a true anomaly that gave us home-bound sports fanatics a smorgasbord of things to watch each night. But by the end of this week, either the Rays or the Dodgers will be crowned World Series Champions, the NHL and NBA will be looking toward early 2021
returns, and the only thing we’ll have to watch is football, something that seems less than appealing if you happen to root for the Jets or the Giants. On the bright side, football’s not a once-a-week, Sunday, event anymore. Between Thursday Night Football, Monday Night Football and the COVID-related Tuesday games we’ve seen this year, the true sports devotee will be able to stretch out the meager rations a bit. Plus, as things continue to open up, we are no longer—for the most part—stuck in our living rooms with only the television as company anymore. So we’ll just have to see what the next few months brings; we may not be able to feast on pro sports, but I’m sure we’ll manage to get by. I just hope that by this time next year, this virus and our crazy lives, sports and otherwise, will be back to normal.

Garnets blank Eagles for third win GIRLS SOCCER
non league
RYE 4 EASTCHESTER 0 EASTCHESTER HS
10/21/20
Game Notes: • Rye scored 3 second-half goals • The Garnets have outscored opponents 10-0 this year • Rye and Eastchester will meet again on 11/2 By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Despite a young roster and a heap of off-season tumult due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Rye girls’ soccer team has wasted little time establishing itself as one of the most explosive teams in Section I. The Garnets’ knack for finding the net was on full display on Oct. 21, as Rye earned its third victory of the season with a resounding 4-0 road win over league foe Eastchester. The Garnets broke a score-
less tie in the 28th minute when Meredith Tutun streaked passed the Eagles’ defenders to net the game’s first goal. Although Eastchester was able to control possession in the beginning of the second half, they were unable to break through against Rye goalkeeper Bell Jackson, and the Garnets added three insurance goals from Mali White, Zoe Rockas and Reilly Traynor to come away with the decisive win. “It was a really tight game and they had some great counter-attacks on us, but [Jackson], who is a sophomore had a great game and we had great leadership out of her,” Rye head coach Rich Savage said. “Our back line was basically two freshmen, a junior and a sophomore and they did a great job handling the pressure and really composed themselves.” According to Savage, Rye’s younger players have played well early in the season, one of the main reasons behind the team’s 3-0 start. The head coach lauded the leadership from his upperclassmen and acknowledged that the uncertainty surrounding the viability of the fall season could have had an effect on lesser-disciplined teams, but his squad has

made the most of its short time out on the field. In their three games this season, the Garnets have outscored opponents 10-0. “They have really trained hard, even when we couldn’t meet as a team, and that’s one of the biggest compliments I can give them,” he said. “We have a relatively young team, but we know that every day we are on the field, we’re lucky to be on the field.” The Eagles, who sit at 0-2-1, will look to earn their first win of the season on Oct. 23 when they host Pelham. Eastchester and Pelham met in the season-opener on Oct. 13 and battled to a 1-1 draw. The Garnets will be back in action on Monday, Oct. 26, when they travel to Fox Lane to take on the Foxes. Eastchester and Rye will meet again on Nov. 2 at Nugent Stadium in Rye. “We have a little bit of a break now, but it’s great to see the team stepping up and learning so quickly,” Savage said. “But they know they’re going to have to adjust on the fly because the schedule can always change.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
