Businesses eye online model during shutdown

As Covid-19 restrictions have led to the indefinite closure of many businesses, several are looking to online models as a way to stay relevant in this time of uncertainty.

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor Over thelast few weeks, the coronavirus pandemic has swept its way across the nation, significantly altering day-to-day life and profoundly impacting businesses, both large and small. And as Americans across the country struggle to adjust to the “new normal,” businesses are also looking for ways to remain relevant in a world under orders to stay home.

In New York State, restaurants, bars and gyms were among the first businesses to feel the crunch due to coronavirus regulations, as a March 16 order by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat,—in conjunction with the governors of New Jersey and Connecticut— limited eateries to take-out services and closed gyms and other gathering places in an attempt to mitigate the transmission of the virus.

Although restaurants have been quick to adapt their business models to comply with the order—and similar mandates in the rest of the country—the hospitality industry is preparing for major losses as a result of the pandemic. On March 18, the National Restaurant Alliance predicted

that coronavirus shutdown would cost the industry up to $225 billion and 7 million jobs in shortterm forecasts.

But restaurant owners and employees aren’t the only ones who have been effected by new regulations on gatherings. Garry Leavy, the owner of Let’s Go Trivia, a company that hosts weekly pub trivia contests in establishments across Westchester and Rockland counties. [[incomplete sentence]] According to Leavy, the March 16 announcement was an eye-opener, one that left him scrambling to find a way to continue to keep his business afloat while also promoting the 30 bars and restaurants that host his weekly trivia events. Over the past two weeks, he has experimented with a few online trivia models that allow customers to test their knowledge online, while utilizing take-out or delivery options from the restaurant where the weekly game is normally held, all in an effort to try and replicate the experience for his followers.

“When the ban was announced, I was just trying to find a way to keep the train rolling so I looked [into] a few platforms we could use, ” he said. “I wanted to find a way to connect it to the restau-

rants and bars we do the trivia in because they’re struggling to operate right now, and there’s just not enough work for a lot of these place to sustain their workforce.”

Much like the hospitality industry, the world of fitness is often characterized by in-person interaction. And like restaurant owners, those who operate gyms are also being forced to adopt online models to keep their companies running.

Robert Gorvetzian, the co-founder and owner of Crossfit POP on North Avenue in New Rochelle, said his gym has been running three online classes a day since the shutdown. And although his customers might not have access to much of the equipment they would ordinarily use, Gorvetzian and his fellow trainers have found ways to work around these new circumstances.

“As soon as the order was announced, [we] had people come in and we loaned out quite a bit of equipment just so they had something at home,” he said.

“But most of our workouts can be done just using bodyweights, dumbells or kettlebells; there’s a lot of things you can do in the gym, but you don’t necessarily need that for good fitness.”

Gorvetzian has also been using social media to provide his customers with healthy dietary tips as they remain sheltered in place.

“I have a background in nutrition, so I saw it as another way to help people,” he said. “A lot of people are stuck at home and maybe they aren’t used to cooking or preparing their own food.”

Both Leavy and Gorvetzian believe that their services help provide a sense of normalcy to a client-base that has largely been stuck in their homes for the last three weeks.

“Everyone comes to the gym for different reasons, whether it’s to lose weight or get out of the house,” Gorvetzian said. “So with everyone at home, they can at least look at doing a workout as one of the last parts of their normal routine they still have.”

“A lot of people look forward to trivia each week, you get a group of guys and gals who go out to their local place for food and drinks and all of a sudden, that routine is disrupted,” Leavy added. “So while the online stuff might not be exactly the same, it’s keeping that trivia community connected.”

Latimer nixes property tax payment late fees On Thursday, April 2, Westchester County Executive George Latimer proposed county legislation to ease the financial burden now on county residents. The introduced legislation amends the Westchester County Tax Law to authorize towns in Westchester County to waive penalties for the late payment of county taxes, county district taxes and assessments until July 15. The provision would be based on hardship determination presented to the town, and does not cover town taxes. This would allow a penalty-free additional 76 days to pay county taxes.

The hardship must be caused by the public emergency relating to COVID-19. Penalties under this provision could be waived for a two and one-half month period including the months of May and June and up to July 15. If taxes are not paid by July 15, the 5 percent penalty would begin to run as of July 16.

A group of town officials will help develop the criteria to qualify for the hardship determination and maintain a list of taxpayers within their jurisdiction qualifying for the hardship determination. Hardship determinations can be based upon objective criteria related to the COVID-19 pandemic such as: loss of employment, illness, closure of a business or other loss of income or revenue.

The July 15 date coincides with the extended deadline to file New York State and federal income taxes. Under the proposed legislation no town is required to offer the temporary waiver of penalties upon a hardship determination and may choose to optout of this law.

Latimer also provided an update on the county’s number of confirmed COVID-19 cases throughout Westchester. As of April 8, cases per municipality are as follows:

Town numbers reflect the unincorporated sections of the part of each town outside villages within each town. The n umbers reflect the actual residents of the municipality, not “zip code” residents who live in an adjacent community. The information provided to the county lags state numbers by as much as three days, due to the state releasing data to the county only after the tested individual has been informed of their status.

In total, there have been 568 cumulative cases of hospitalization in the county. There are currently 344 residents in the hospital and 67 deaths to date due to COVID-19. (Submitted)

Mamaroneck teen organizes medical supplies Hearing that doctors and first responders urgently need supplies to fight COVID-19, Jerry Orans, a student at Mamaroneck High School, launched Hack the Pandemic: a coordinated service group that is using personal equipment to manufacture approved personal protective equipment, PPE, for medical workers.

A skilled maker himself, Orans knew that community members could produce high demand items such as face shields using 3D printers and laser cutters in their homes. A former STEM Alliance of Larchmont-Mamaroneck robotics team member, Orans reached out to the STEM Alliance, a local non-profit focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math enrichment, for support. Together, they have mobilized and brought together various community members for this work. Travis Sluss of MacInspires was already using the 3D printing machines from his local STEM education business and was happy to connect with Orans’ initiative.

Travis said, “We are still open for online business because we have converted our learning platform to virtual learning but our equipment is available,” Sluss said. “So, we wanted to put our

3D printers to work to do all that we can to help those on the front line.”

While makers like Sluss produce equipment, Orans has been reinforcing distribution chains, sourcing materials and onboarding more makers.

After an initial Zoom meeting including makers such as Kristine Budill, engineering educator at Holy Child, and her students, one need became apparent. All of the makers needed help with the consumable supplies needed to produce the requested equipment. 3D printing filament, for example, can come at a high cost. Here, the STEM Alliance jumped in first by committing $5,000 to purchase requested materials and then by starting a fundraising campaign to increase the purchasing power.

Melissa Manice and Lisa Boillot, two local makers focused on sewing masks, were thrilled.

They already had some community members ready to work at a larger scale but there was a high need for the right quality fabric.

The work is still surging forward.

Hack the Pandemic needs volunteers to make face shields, face masks, 3D printed parts and specialty parts using CNC, Waterjet and 3D printers of specialty ma-

Jerry Orans

terials, etc. In particular, anyone with skills in sewing, cloth cutting, laser cutting and 3D printing are desired. Additionally, drivers are in demand to deliver the supplies to hospitals and medical facilities.

Individuals and businesses can answer the call to help their community. To become a volunteer or donate, please visit http://lmstemalliance.org/stem-solutions. html or hackthepandemic.org.

Consumer Protection helps residents impacted by virus

After learning that some businesses are choosing to refuse providing services to the people of New Rochelle, especially those in the onemile containment zone outlined by New York State, the Westchester County Consumer Protection Department is making clear that any business discriminating against New Rochelle or Westchester consumers will be issued tickets under all applicable law.

After learning that some businesses are choosing to refuse providing services to the people of New Rochelle, especially those in the one-mile radius outlined by New York State, the Westchester County Consumer Protection Department is making clear that any business discriminating against New Rochelle or Westchester consumers will be issued tickets under all applicable law. Inspectors have been assigned to closely watch for any unconscionable trade practices that harm New Rochelle’s residents or any Westchester residents going forward.

“We are one County—one community—and it is going to take all of us to overcome this crisis,” Westchester county Executive George Latimer said.

“And make no mistake, we will.

To hear of businesses working under a completely opposite premise is unacceptable and we must not tolerate it.”

Consumer Protection Director Jim Maisano added, “It’s outrageous that any business would avoid interacting with New Rochelle or Westchester during this crisis. If we identify any businesses discriminating against New Rochelle or Westchester consumers, our inspectors will investigate and issue appearance tickets to hold these unscrupulous businesses accountable. We will help educate businesses that such behavior is unacceptable in our County. We hope all residents will contact our office if they are treated improperly.”

“It’s disgraceful for any busi-

ness to deny services to New Rochelle residents, so we’re teaming up with the County to protect our rights,” New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson said. “I am grateful for the excellent work of Westchester’s Consumer Protection Department, and, together, we will always stand up for our people.”

If any New Rochelle or Westchester County consumer, especially those in the one-mile radius, believes they’ve been a victim of an unconscionable or deceptive trade practice by a business relating to the coronavirus, or for any other reason, please contact the county Consumer Protection Department by calling 995-2155 or sending an email to ConPro@westchestergov.com.

Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade postponed To the Editor:

After much thought and consideration, The Sound Shore St. Patrick’s Day Parade Committee has decided to postpone the annual parade, which was scheduled to be held on Sunday, March 22. The committee has discussed the ever-changing situation that is currently taking place and have prioritized the well-being of the valued members of the Sound Shore community. We look forward to marching down Mamaroneck Avenue to celebrate our 2020 grand marshall, Kate Bialo, in the near future. Kate would like to say to the Sound Shore community that,” We are in an unprecedented and challenging situation, not just in Westchester, but worldwide. I applaud our parade committee’s wise decision to postpone our event in the interest of public health. We look forward to celebrating better times with our Sound Shore neighbors with a rescheduled parade that will be the best ever.”

We appreciate your patience as we chose a new date to celebrate our Irish heritage and the American immigrant experience. We will come through this together.

prominent Irish-American community leaders T he Westchester County Board of Legislators on Monday, March 16, celebrated three outstanding leaders—Claire O’Gara Grimes, ground-breaking female journalist, and former owner and publisher of the Irish Echo; William J. Powers, media personality, and the voice and face of the Peekskill St. Patrick’s Day Parade; and Thomas G. Tuffy, trustee of the County Sligo Social & Benevolent Association, and owner of TG Tuffy Interiors, Inc. in Yonkers—as part of the board’s annual Irish History and Heritage celebration.

The annual celebration was kicked off by a lively performance by the Pipes and Drums of the Police Emerald Society of Westchester.

In his opening remarks, Board Chairman Ben Boykin said, “There’s no separating the history of this County with the history of the Irish people in Westchester. Irish history in Westchester goes all the way back to the Colonial era. At that time, many of Westchester’s Irish residents came here as educators bringing their knowledge, intellect and a spirit of service to communities throughout this County, as spirit which persists today.”

County Legislator Kitley Covill

presented the first proclamation to journalism trailblazer, Claire O’Gara Grimes. Covill said, “The Irish Echo is the voice of Irish America and I am so pleased to honor Claire O’Gara Grimes for having the courage to continue her husband’s legacy as publisher and owner of this vital media resource for so many years.”

Grimes thanked the chairman and the board by saying, “thank you so much for allowing us to wave the Irish flag today and salute this wee country which has produced four Poet Laureates and five Nobel peace prize winners. While at the helm of the Irish Echo, I had the pleasure of chronicling Irish influence

around the world, and espousing faith, family and country which are at the heart of Irish culture.”

County Legislator Colin Smith presented the second proclamation to Peekskill personality William J. Powers.

“Mr. Powers has been a fixture in the Peekskill business community for many years, as well as a veteran member the St. Patrick’s Day Parade committee. I’ve personally known Bill for several years and have long admired his dedication to his community.

He is a humble man who rarely seeks the spotlight, and most deserving of this recognition.”

Powers recalled the bagpipes and firetrucks of the St. Patrick’s

Day parades of his childhood, and how much he has enjoyed celebrating his Irish heritage as parade announcer in Peekskill for the past 30 years.

“The only time I missed being the announcer was the night I served as Grand Marshal, after which my mother said to me with tears in her eyes ‘This is the best night of my life’…,” Powers said.

County Legislator David Tubiolo gave the third proclamation to Thomas G. Tuffy of Yonkers. “We have some very special people who help make our vibrant Irish community ‘home’ and one of these esteemed people, is none other than our very own Thomas G. Tuffy, who has truly demonstrated ‘meitheal’, which is Gaelic for helping one’s neighbor and giving back to the community,” Tubiolo said.

Mr. Tuffy responded, “I am especially delighted to receive this honor along with Claire and Bill, who have done so much in their own communities. I accept this on behalf of my parents who are alive and well in County Sligo, and who instilled in me the value of contributing to the community and giving back. Thank you to my wife and children for supporting me and allowing me to serve…” (Submitted)

We all benefit from art and access to art, even and perhaps especially in times of public crisis. The goal of Slow Art Day is to focus on the art and the art of seeing. For this year’s event, join two of the KMA’s docents for an in-depth conversation about a selection of works in the Bisa Butler: Portraits exhibition. Before the discussion, find a quiet space.

MetLife Foundation donates $200K to Westchester food bank

MetLife Foundation announced today that it is donating $200,000 to Feeding Westchester to help deal with increased demand for their services as a result of coronavirus.

MetLife Foundation announced on March 17 that it is donating $200,000 to Feeding Westchester to help deal with increased demand for their services as a result of coronavirus.

Food banks face the challenge of getting shelf-stable food into people’s homes as quickly as possible, especially now that vulnerable populations such as the elderly have been advised to practice social distancing. In addition, food banks face greater need from families with children who no longer have access to meals at schools.

“We want to help those impacted by coronavirus,” said Mike Zarcone, head of Corporate Affairs for MetLife and Chairman of MetLife Foundation. “That

includes the communities in New York where we work and live. We know that children out of school and seniors face food insecurity as a result of COVID-19, and we are committed to help.”

Feeding Westchester serves areas where COVID-19 has hit the hardest, including New Rochelle.

The organization has requested funds to rent additional trucks, purchase fuel, purchase shelf-stable food, and move that food into homes across the county.

“Right now, half a million pounds of good, nutritious food is on its way to Feeding Westchester for our hungry neighbors throughout the county,” said Matthew Honeycutt, vice president of development for Feeding Westchester. “Before the height of the

outbreak, we anticipated greater need during this very unique situation and mobilized additional resources, including from Feeding America and other partners. We are working hard to get food into people’s homes now.”

Westchester County Executive George Latimer added, “We are all concerned about the impact that COVID-19 could have on the health and well-being of our residents. Many of our populations who are at a greater risk of food insecurity are our seniors and children who are out of school.

We are extremely grateful to our friends at the MetLife Foundation for their generous donation to help feed those who are hungry throughout Westchester County.”

A port in the storm LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

On March 14, when it was announced that Rick Pitino had accepted the head coaching job at Iona College, I couldn’t help but think that this was the best, most important sports news I’d heard in quite some time.

But it’s not because I’m a huge fan of Pitino or an avid supporter of the MAC powerhouse Gaels.

It’s for the simple reason that, for the first time in a week, we got some honest-to-goodness news that was actually about sports.

As the coronavirus pandemic has upended our lives over the last week, the sports news cycle has taken a dramatic—yet, in the grand scheme of everything else that has happened, unimportant—hit. With professional sports leagues shutting down, and no word yet as to when play will resume, there’s been a dearth of sports content to discuss which is

troubling to me, both professionally and personally.

Like most Americans, my first instinct when it comes to coronavirus is worrying about the health of my family and friends, notably those who suffer from compromised immune systems or those, like my parents, who are over 65 years of age. But like millions around the country, I’m also worried about the global— and local—economic impact of the virus. Small local companies all around the area are dealing with a dire situation and millions of workers are unsure if jobs they once thought of as secure will still be around when this pandemic finally starts to subside.

I mean, I’m a sportswriter, and with no sports to write about, where will I be if the status quo is upended for weeks, or even months?

In times of crisis, it’s natural for people to look for some form of escapism. And for millions of Americans, sports have always been a sort of port in the storm.

SPORTS

In times of national strife, such as after the attacks of Sept. 11, people looked to sports as a means of healing, a way to forget—if only for a few hours—the great hardships facing our nation and our communities. But over the last week, there has been no news coming out of the sports world, save for updates on cancellations or notices about players who have contracted coronavirus, that could draw the discussion, if only for a short time, away from the most pressing news story of the last 19 years.

So, when I heard that Pitino was coming to Iona, I have to admit that it was a welcome diversion. I got to tune-in to WFAN to listen to talk-radio hosts debate the signing and what it meant for college basketball and Pitino’s own legacy. I got to hear pundits break down the Gaels’ returning roster and the tremendous undertaking the two-time NCAA champion coach has in terms of the recruiting process. Basically, it felt like

any other day in America.

Pitino may never lead Iona to national prominence, but just listening to people discuss that

possibility provided at least a moment of respite in a scary, uncertain time. And it reminded me why sports are so important in

the first place.

very conflicted about it because schools and businesses hadn’t been shut down yet, they had played the regional semifinals on Wednesday, and this was going just to be five-on-five in a gym with no spectators,” he said. “But once everything got shut down, I think it shows that they made the right decision in

trying to contain this.”

But even understanding the decision did little to quell Aguilar’s disappointment as he watched the high school careers of his seniors—a group that was responsible for capturing Rye’s first Section I title in 31 years— come to an end.

“Johnson City is a tough team

and they certainly could have beaten us, but it’s one thing for a season to end that way, as opposed to the way it did,” he said. “Even though they finished the season with a win, there’s no closure, and I think they deserved that.”

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor As the spread of the coronavirus has continued to disrupt nearly every facet of American life over the last week, it should come as no surprise that the Section I spring athletics season is no exception. With public schools in the area closed indefinitely, Section I Executive Director Todd Santabarbara released a statement on March 16 announcing that all interscholastic athletic programs are to halt all practices, scrimmages and games until the impact of COVID-19 can be reassessed on March 30.

But while the pandemic is threatening to put an end to the spring season before it begins, it also forced several local winter teams to give up on their quest for state titles last week.

One such squad was the Class A Section I boys basketball champion Rye Garnets, whose season came to an abrupt end on March 12 when the New York State Public High School Athletics Association, NYSPHSAA, decided to

postpone all winter season championships indefinitely. At the time of the cancelation, the Garnets were preparing for a March 13 regional final showdown against Section IV champ Johnson City at SUNY Purchase. Prior to the cancelation, the NYSPHSAA toyed with other ideas to contain the spread of the virus, such as barring all spectators from the venue.

“We knew that cancelation was a possibility, but up until the moment we found out, we heard the game was still going to be on,” Rye head coach John Aguilar said. “We drove up to Binghamton on Wednesday to watch Johnson City play New Paltz, wrote up the whole scouting report and were ready to get to work on Thursday when we found out. The kids were devastated.”

Although Aguilar acknowledged that cancelation of the tournament was ultimately the right call, he admitted that it was a difficult decision to process in the moment.

“I think at that time we felt

A March 16 letter by Section I Executive Director Todd Santabarbara officially suspended all spring sports activities until at least March 30.
