Port Chester designated a ‘Yellow Zone’ by state Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases, Port Chester has now been designated a “Yellow Zone” by New York State and Gov. Andrew Cuomo. This designation is a strong reminder that the COVID-19 pandemic is not over. “Wearing a mask and social distancing is not an option—you must do it,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said. “I do not want to see cases con-
tinue to rise, we must make small sacrifices now to protect the entire County.” Along with speaking with Cuomo, Latimer is in communication with Port Chester officials including Mayor Richard “Fritz” Falanka, county Legislator Nancy Barr, state Sen. Shelley Mayer and state Assemblyman Steven Otis. Westchester County Health Department and Open Door
Family Medical Center expanded testing in Port Chester until Nov. 10. The testing initiative was made in consultation with the New York State Department of Health. “This is not the time to panic, but this is the time to make adjustments to your habits and take precautions to protect yourself, and those you love, against COVID-19,” Latimer said.

Additionally, the Westchester County Health Department is: • Distributing masks and hand sanitizer to community groups in Port Chester • Meeting with community leaders to discuss COVID prevention and protocols • Launching an educational campaign in English and Spanish
Latimer proposes 2021 county budget In the midst of a crippling pandemic and on the heels of a listening tour around the county, Westchester County Executive George Latimer unveiled his 2021 proposed Operating Budget. The proposed 2021 budget reduces the Westchester County tax levy by $1 million for the second year in a row. This budget maintains all county services. The expenditures in the proposed budget of $2.091 billion are $15.7 million below the 2020 Budget. “This year has been extraordinarily challenging,” Latimer said. “Despite these challenges, we as a County have remained resilient and I have no doubt that working together we will emerge from this crisis stronger than before.” The 2021 Budget includes an additional: • $5 million for economic development programs, • $5 million for housing assistance programs • $2 million for food insecurity. Before entering 2021, the 2020 budget year is slated to end with no layoffs, no furloughs, no service cuts and no borrowing for pension costs. “At the onset of the pandemic our revenue projections were revised downward by nearly $200 million and we took immediate actions to address the financial downturn,” Latimer said. “We submitted legislation, passed by the County Board of Legislators, allowing the county to borrow for tax certs as well as pension payments and we amended the Budget to reverse the $10 million budgeted addition to fund balance. We implemented a voluntary separation incentive that resulted in 226 employees leaving county service effective August 1. We also held vacant a large number of County positions to generate needed savings.” Additionally, due to its relationship with the Federal Delegation in Washington, the county was able to secure direct federal assistance under both the Families
First and CARES acts. This has allowed the county to fund the additional costs that have arisen due to the pandemic as well as maintain essential county services. This 2021 proposed Budget does not assume any additional extraordinary federal assistance and also anticipates a 20% reduction in our state aid. As a result, this budget must rely on drawing all of our projected increase in 2020 reserves. “While the economy has rebounded, we are still not back to the level of economic activity we experienced prior to the pandemic,” Latimer said. “Sales tax, the single largest revenue source for the county, has improved, however, collections for this year are anticipated to be $662 million or $80 million below the $742 million budgeted.” For 2021 the county has projected that sales tax will grow to $695 million, which is $46 million below the 2020 Budget. The county also anticipates reduced revenues in some of our parks in 2021 as certain facilities are still being utilized for COVID purposes. However, the 2021 Budget fully funds each of our county parks and recreational facilities which have remained open and available to our residents during the pandemic. This budget does not raise any fees for our parks since it is important that they remain accessible to all residents of Westchester. Several weeks ago, Latimer also submitted a Capital Budget that contained $231.8 million in new appropriations for capital projects. The Capital Budget includes more than $112 million for projects that will provide improvements to the environment, including a food scrap recovery facility, 100 hybrid replacement buses and electric vehicle charging stations. The county’s Capital Program also supports more than 2,000 permanent jobs within the County. (Submitted)

State issues new travel advisory On Oct. 31, Gov. Andrew Cuomo released Executive Order 205.2, which substantially revises the quarantine restrictions on
travelers arriving in New York State. The new guidelines allow out-of-state travelers to “test out” of the mandatory 14-day quar-
antine. This Executive Order supersedes and makes obsolete the prior EO that created a travel advisory list.
New Travel Advisory for Domestic Travel Effective Wednesday, Nov. 4, out-of-state travelers must be tested within three days prior to landing in New York, quarantine for a minimum of three days
upon arrival, and get a test on day four of arrival. If both tests come back negative, the traveler may exit the quarantine early. All travelers covered by the advisory are required to fill out a state Department of Health trav-
eler health information form upon arrival. Those arriving at an airport are required to complete the form upon entering the state, and those traveling by other means of transportation must complete the form online. Travelers who leave the airport without completing the form will be subject to a $2,000 fine and may be brought to a hearing and ordered to complete a mandatory quarantine. Essential workers, international travelers, and states that are contiguous with New York (New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Vermont) are exempt from these rules. Non-essential workers who cannot get tested are required to quarantine. Travelers who were out of state for less than 24 hours are not required to quarantine, but they must get a test on day four of arrival in New York State. The option to “test out” of quarantine applies only to travel quarantine and does not apply to those quarantining for 14 days after coming into contact with a known positive case.

Chazz Palminteri feted at Cabrini Mission reception Academy Award nominee Chazz Palminteri, whose career spans more than 35 years on Broadway, and in notable film and television roles, and his wife, Gianna, herself an acclaimed actress and producer, were thanked by the Cabrini Mission Foundation, at a reception at the Bedford Playhouse in Westchester. The Palminteris, who reside in Bedford, have long been active in Italian-American, Catholic and community causes. In 2019, their daughter Gabriella wanted to help immigrant families at the border and led a high school project that collected toothbrushes and toiletries for those in need. She donated the supplies to the Cabrini Mission Foundation and through that process, her parents were introduced to the organization and the important work it does around the world. Since that time, Chazz and Gianna have become well-known supporters of the Charism and work of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini, the first Italian-American and U.S. citizen to be canonized a saint by the Roman Catholic Church.
“The story of Mother Cabrini has been so inspiring to me and my family,” Chazz Palminteri said. “As a proud Catholic and Italian American, I am honored to support the Cabrini Mission Foundation whose work is critical to uplifting the lives of so many people around the globe, particularly during these difficult times. More recently, when Mother Cabrini was nominated for a statue, I joined my close friend Philip Foglia to advocate for it. I was glad to play a role in seeing it recently erected.” “My husband and I are grateful to the Foundation for this recognition and allowing us to help them in their important work. We are so proud of our children who share in our commitment to our faith and community and were the reason we were able to connect with the Cabrini Mission Foundation in the first place,” said Gianna Palminteri. Chazz Palminteri, is most recently known for Academy Award nomination for acting, writing and producing “A Bronx Tale”. Throughout his heralded career, he has appeared in numerous movies, Broadway
productions and popular television series like “Law & Order: SVU”; “Blue Bloods”, “Modern Family” and “Kojak”. “Chazz and Gianna have been incredible supporters of our foundation, especially this year, as our programs and services are stretched due to the pandemic,” said Cabrini Mission Foundation Executive Director Christopher LaBianco. “We were so happy we could recognize them for their generous service and help during these critical times and look forward to honoring them at our Gala in 2021.” Established in 1998, the Cabrini Mission Foundation exists to respond to society’s needs by supporting programs of healing, teaching, and caring sponsored by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, MSC, the international religious order founded by St. Frances Xavier Cabrini in 1880. Cabrini Mission Foundation, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, seeks to aid and enhance MSC works of the Guadalupe Province in Australia, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua and the.

By Andy Landorf & John Colquhoun
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.

Barrelsmith makes spirited debut on barrel-aged craft cocktail scene
It was 10 years in the making, but Matt Ellenthal and Martha Outlaw, a couple from Wilton, Connecticut, have introduced Barrelsmith, a brand of barrel-aged, craft cocktails which has been greeted the production process. Their initial premium cocktails include a Negroni, a Manhattan and a Boulevardier. “We were quite confident that we had developed a superior offering, but savvy marketers know that you are never sure that you have a winner until you take your goods to market,” said Ellenthal, a successful marketer of various upscale products for more than 30 years. “Given the quality of our brand, I prefer not to use the familiar analogy of the dog eating the dog food, even though Martha and I love dogs.” Perfectionists to the core, the couple has been fine-tuning the art of creating barrel-aged cocktails since 2010. “Traditional by an enthusiastic reaction from discerning drinkers, encouraging its creators to step-up cocktail recipes using off-the-shelf bottles just didn’t work with barrel aging,” he said. “We sourced specialty ingredients, prototyped and developed our own formulas and barrel-aging methods with the goal of creating the very best craft cocktails.” Working for a technology company in the casino business, Ellenthal spent a lot of time in Las Vegas and around the world where he was exposed to outstanding cocktails and varied bar cultures. At one of his favorite hangouts, he spent many hours talking to the bar staff about their innovative cocktails, especially their in-house barrel-aging program. With encouragement from the bar staff, Ellenthal and Outlaw began
their experiments at home. A trial and error process gave rise to a cocktail that visitors to their home judged to be the best they had ever tasted. And their business got an added boost from an unlikely source: Ellenthal’s mother, who ordered a Negroni at a high-end Ital-
ian restaurant and, after sending it back twice, finally had to settle for a different drink. The establishment had not come close to emulating the one made from selected ingredients and then aged in an oak barrel that she had tasted at Ellenthal and Outlaw’s home. She and other fami-
ly members and friends clamored to take home the couple’s barrelaged craft cocktails. Ellenthal and Outlaw hesitated. They wanted their cocktails to be the best available if they were to sell them to others. “So the next thing we did,” Outlaw explained, “was hire a flavor specialist with decades of experience in the spirits industry to source the best ingredients and refine our recipes and techniques.” Continuing, she added, “We tasted dozens of versions and tested the formulas and the aging process. By doing so, we were able to create cocktails that are elevated by barrel-aging and a balanced taste.” Outlaw is certified WSET as a Level 2 Wine and Spirit Educator. She spent five years as a research consultant for a high profile wine collector. Her research led to both a civil and criminal wine counterfeit case that resulted in multi-million dollar damage awards and a federal conviction. She has consulted in wine cellar development, appraisal and management. More recently, she served as director of Fine Wines at ReserveBar, a preeminent online destination for the gifting of top-shelf spirits, fine wine and premium champagne. Not surprisingly, the liqueur used in the line’s two other entries, the Manhattan and the Boulevardier, are named after her. The mention of this brings a small smile to her face; an even bigger one surfaces when she tells listeners: “Our cocktails are ready to drink. Just pour over ice, maybe add a twist or cherry, and you have the most sublime cocktail you have ever tasted or served.” Visit www.Barrelsmith.com to learn more and order for home delivery to 40 states.

‘City on a Hill’ films near county office building County Household Recycling Day event at Playland Westchester County government is advising that “City on a Hill”—a Showtime series set in 1990s Boston—is planning to film scenes in White Plains on Nov. 9. The production team has requested that because our
flags may be visible in their shots, the Massachusetts State and Boston City flag be flown on the westerly Michaelian Office Building flagpole, at full-staff, and to fly the U.S. and POW/ MIA flags on the easterly pole at
full-staff as well. Following the production, all normal New York State and Westchester County flags will be returned and they will be placed at half-staff to honor the victims of COVID-19. (Submitted)

Don’t rule out winter sports LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
When it comes to high school sports—at least on the state level—it seems as though the last few months have been a case of taking one step forward and two steps back. Perhaps that fact has never been more obvious than it was this past week, as local student-athletes got some good news followed by a true gutpunch of an announcement. On Nov. 4, Section I officials finally revealed the format for the fall sports postseason, a welcome development for most, and a sign that, for all the tumult caused by the coronavirus this autumn, student-athletes in our area had finally reached the finish line. Five days later, though, state officials issued a pronouncement that wasn’t as well received by youngsters hoping to play winter sports. Under guidance from the office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, it was announced that there were
currently no plans to begin winter athletics for “high risk” sports—which include basketball, ice hockey and wrestling— on Nov. 30, meaning the winter season for a bulk of student-athletes may well be in jeopardy. Now, of course I understand the trepidation on the part of state officials; there has been a recent uptick of coronavirus cases in New York State, and winter sports, played indoors, present their own unique challenges in terms of keeping athletes, coaches and officials safe. But as parents who are eager to see their children suit up for their schools this winter are quick to point out, it’s not as though basketball and wrestling events haven’t been taking place throughout the pandemic, they’ve just been operating under the banner of other organizations such as AAU or regional wrestling governing bodies. These parents would argue— and perhaps rightly so—that there’s no real difference between sports played at the scholastic or club level, except maybe
the amount of travel involved. Obviously the high school fall sports season didn’t go off without any hiccups. Positive tests in various school districts prompted several teams to suspend their seasons temporarily, as was pretty much expected. But what was heartening is that school administrators and coaches showed a willingness to overcome these speedbumps and do their best to get the kids out on the field safely. We are now two weeks away from crowning regional champions, barring any unforeseen new outbreaks, and I think even the biggest skeptic would have to believe that the fall season was a rousing success. So. I urge state officials to stop underestimating the willingness and the inventiveness of our coaches, administrators and athletes; they’ve showed the ability to rise to the challenge. Don’t rob them of that same chance this winter.

Plans for regional tourneys released By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On Nov. 4, Section I officials announced plans to hold modified playoff tournaments for fall sports, releasing its guidelines for regional postseason play that will group teams by both school size and geographic location. The announcement marked the first guidance for the postseason following Section I’s Oct. 26 announcement that some form of regional playoffs would be permitted to occur. In September, it was decided by New York State Public High School Athletics Association, NYSPHSAA, that although low and medium-risk high school sports would be permitted this fall, coronavirus concerns meant that the statewide playoff format would be abandoned for the time being. Last week’s announcement by Section I laid out a format for postseason play that was designed to limit travel between different regions of the area, setting up six unique, single-elimination tournaments that will service small and large school groupings in both
Southern Westchester and and Putnam-Northern Westchester. Separate tournaments have been set up for schools in both Rockland and Dutchess Counties. According to the announcement, Rye, New Rochelle, Mamaroneck, Harrison and Eastchester will be competing in the largeschool Southern Westchester tournaments, while Bronxville, Rye Neck and Tuckahoe will take part in the small-school division. Under the new guidelines, all fall sports—aside from girls tennis—will have until Nov. 14 to wrap up their regular season campaigns and seeding meetings for the various sports have been scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 15. The following day, the postseason tournaments will commence, starting with field hockey and boys soccer. The tennis postseason, which began on Nov. 8, will wrap up on Wednesday, after press time. For local teams, the decision was a welcome one, bringing some sense of normalcy to a time marked by uncertainty, Mamaroneck field hockey coach John Savage said. The Tigers are the

top-ranked field hockey team in the section, but even though they won’t be gunning for a Sectional crown, Savage said that the chance to extend the season just a little bit longer is worth it. “I think this is great for Section I, because this pandemic has hit everyone hard mentally, especially the kids, and I think they needed that release from the fear that they see,” he said. “You see other schools and areas that have shut down, and we told the girls that they are very fortunate.” Although fall athletes might be getting a proper end to their season, those gearing up for winter sports got a dose of bad news this week, however. On Nov. 9, Section I executive director Dr. Robert Zayas confirmed that, due to an uptick in coronavirus cases in New York State, high-risk winter sports— including basketball, hockey and wrestling—would not be permitted to begin as scheduled on Nov. 30. Zayas said more information would be released in the coming weeks. CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
