Cuomo resumes weddings at 50% capacity
Starting over Facing the devastating effects of living through a global pandemic and shuttered economy, more than 4 million new businesses were started in 2020, a record high. For story, see page 6.
Vaccine distribution hits 100,000 milestone A new milestone in COVID-19 vaccine administration was surpassed yesterday when Catalina Restrepo of Valley Cottage received the 100,000 COVID-19 vaccine dose to be administered at the Westchester County Center in White Plains, a New York Mass Vaccination site. The Westchester Medical Center Health Network, WMCHealth, has been collaborating with New York State and Westchester County at the Westchester County Center since vaccination operations began here in January. WMCHealth workforce members
including clinicians, pharmacists, data analysts and others are working in tandem with hundreds of volunteers to ensure all those eligible to receive the vaccine do so in a safe and efficient manner. WMCHealth partners with VolunteerNY on Westchester County Center volunteer recruitment, training and scheduling. As the coordinator for the Hudson Valley Region Hub of the New York State Regional Vaccine Network, WMCHealth is leading the Hudson Valley’s largest-ever collaboration of healthcare providers and logistics effort to ensure the safe,
equitable and efficient distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine across Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, Ulster and Sullivan counties. In addition, WMCHealth launched the 75-member Health Equity Task Force, with members meeting weekly to identify vaccine access and distribution barriers and develop solutions to remove them, particularly impediments that affect underserved communities. Vaccine Eligibility and Access For more information on eligibility and mass vaccination sites please visit: Am-I-Eligible.COVID19Vaccine.Health.
NY.gov, or call the New York State Vaccination Hotline at 1-833-NYS-4VAX (1-833-69748290). Earlier this month, WMCHealth debuted an interactive directory to assist Hudson Valley residents with accessing COVID-19 vaccinations, the only resource of this type available in the region. The map is available as part of the WMCHealth online resource https:// COVIDInfo.WMCHealth.org/ Vaccination that includes a wide variety of information about vaccine eligibility, safety and efficacy, as well as COVID care and treatments.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on March 15 that wedding receptions and catered events can now resume statewide. All venues hosting weddings and catered events must follow the state’s strict health and safety protocols, including the following requirements: Venues are restricted to 50% capacity, with no more than 150 attendees per event All attendees must have proof of recent negative test result or proof of immunization prior to the event Sign-in with contact information required to assist with potential contact tracing Venues must notify local health departments of large events, above the social gathering limit, in advance Masks will be required at all times except when seated and eating or drinking Ceremonial and socially-distanced dancing allowed in designated areas “New Yorkers have remained resilient throughout this entire pandemic, and the numbers show how effective our behavior has been in stopping the spread of this virus,” Cuomo said. “As the state’s positivity and hospitalization numbers continue to decline and we ramp up vaccinations, the light at the end of the tunnel is getting closer and we can fo-
cus on safely reopening different sectors of our economy without compromising the progress we’ve made. Weddings and catered events will now be allowed to resume across the state, with strict protocols in place to protect the health and safety of New Yorkers. This is great news - but we must continue with the practices that we know work to defeat this virus once and for all.” The reopening of wedding receptions and other catered events builds on the governor’s recent measures to further reopen the economy amid a steady decline in New York’s COVID-19 positivity and hospitalization rates. Effective March 19, New York City indoor dining will expand to 50% capacity and the rest of New York State will increase to 75% capacity for indoor dining. On Feb. 15, the Cuomo announced the MTA will partially restore overnight service on the New York City Subway. On Feb. 14, the Cuomo issued an executive order extending closing times to 11 p.m. statewide for restaurants, bars, gyms and fitness centers, casinos, billiards halls and any other location with an SLA license. The governor also announced beginning April 2, event, arts and entertainment venues can reopen at 33% capacity, up to 100 people indoors and up to 200 people outdoors. (Submitted)

Good news for golfers, play will resume at four of Westchester County’s six public golf courses on Friday, March 12, weather permitting. The highly anticipated season will begin at the county’s central and southern courses--Dunwoodie and Sprain Lake in Yonkers, Maple Moor in White Plains, and Saxon Woods in Scarsdale. The county’s northern courses are expected to open when conditions allow. “Golf is not a contact sport and can be played safely with social distancing protocols in place, because of this we were able to open our golf courses for the 2020 season,” Westchester County Executive George La-
timer said. “We now have a year of experience operating like this, and we’re looking forward to an even better season this year.” The 2020 season was the best season for Westchester County’s golf courses in more than 20 years. In total, 267,455 rounds were played--up nearly 40% from 2019. “Our Golf Courses were very popular last year, welcoming new and experienced players alike,” said Kathy O’Connor, commissioner of the Department of Parks, Recreation and Conservation. “Weekends were booked and weekdays were busy as well. Thanks to our dedicated parks staff we were able to keep our guests safe and had no cases of
Covid-19 traced to our courses.” Indoor and outdoor dining will open at 50% capacity and move to 75% capacity starting March 19, but may change throughout the season in accordance with New York State guidelines. Takeout service is also available. All golfers are required to wear masks and adhere to social distancing protocols. Rakes, ball washers and coolers have been removed from the courses and flagsticks are to be left in the holes. Golf carts will be available and sanitized after each use.

ArtsWestchester launches social justice grant ArtsWestchester has announced the launch of a new competitive artist grant program, Voices for Change, in which three artists each will be awarded grants of $10,000 to propose and actualize new works. Voices for Change is the inaugural program in a series of new initiatives that the organization is undertaking as part of its rededication to the social justice ideals of equity, diversity, inclusion and accessibility. Mid-Hudson Valley artists working in all disciplines are invited to submit proposals for visionary work that encourages deep thinking about complex issues such as social justice, civic equity and the public good. A unique aspect of the program is that proposals are asked to include a collaboration with a service or cultural communi-

ArtsWestchester plans to announce additional social justice initiatives throughout the coming months. These initiatives represent, in part, expanded funding opportunities for artists and organizations, and public programs that will be rolled out during 2021. The Voices for Change grant initiative is made possible through contributions from board members and the Kathwari Foundation. (Submitted)

Having already been furloughed by a boss in the twilight of his career and a global pandemic wreaking havoc, Jaime O’Neill started to mull his future. “I had a third child on the way in July [2020], and I was not in a place to be unemployed,” he said. The unemployment rate in New York state had ballooned to 16% at that time, the highest rate on record since the 1930s, according to statistics from the state Labor Department. Nationally, unemployment was also record-breaking—peaking at 14.7% in April 2020. A vice president with Sid Paterson Advertising in Manhattan, O’Neill, 42, had been working remotely since March when Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, in an unprecedented move shut down the entire state to all non-essential personnel as the coronavirus began rapidly spreading across New York, and would soon engulf the entire country. He started to question his job security with his boss celebrating his 80th birthday and contemplating retirement amidst fears of the pandemic. With no succession plan in place, O’Neill began having conversations with his father, Bob O’Neill, an experienced business development consultant, and some of his own clients. And, after an advertising career spanning nearly 20 years, he took a leap of faith and launched On a Dime Marketing, a boutique ad agency, on Aug. 2, 2020 from his home office in Harrison. “The day my son was born, July 23, I received confirmation from two of my larger clients that they would follow me to my new agency,” he said. The timing couldn’t have been better, as most of Paterson’s remaining staff was let go on the last Friday in July, and the company would close its doors for good shortly after. O’Neill wasn’t the only one with the entrepreneurial itch, however. Despite the coronavirus and record joblessness, there was a boom in 2020—a 13-year high—

in the number of people starting new businesses. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 4.4 million new business applications were filed nationwide last year, a 26.9% increase over 2019.
“The pandemic gave me the kick in the butt I needed to step back and say ‘what is the next chapter in my life.” – Jamie O’Neill on launching his own advertising firm.
Those numbers don’t come as much of a surprise though, according to Deborah Novick, Westchester County’s director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation. “I can tell you that… in
periods of great disruption like this, that people do start businesses. People either revisit priorities or shift priorities and make a big change,” she said. In fact, if it wasn’t for COVID-19, O’Neill says he probably would have stuck it out at Sid Paterson. “The pandemic gave me the kick in the butt I needed … to step back and say ‘what is the next chapter in my life,’” he said. John Ravitz, executive vice president of the Westchester Business Council, attributed the growth in new startups to several factors: people having more free time, out of work because of the pandemic, unsatisfied with their current situation or in the process of developing new business plans that were previously put on hold. And with an estimated 40% of Westchester residents working outside their home county, the
pandemic also provided a bit of a paradigm shift. As many residents were home more working remotely or unemployed, it gave county officials an opportunity to sell Westchester to prospective entrepreneurs. With funding from the federal government provided through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, CARES Act, Westchester rolled out the Launch1000 program in October 2020, as an initiative of its pro-business recovery plan. Created in response to the pandemic, Launch1000 was designed to recruit 1,000 county residents as a no cost, fully remote 4-month program to alter their financial situations by turning ideas into full business startups through the use of workshops, mentoring and access to small grants. “People have been scrambling,” Novick said. “We saw all
those factors affect people’s ability to earn a living and wanted to provide some resources as they made those shifts.” The county has only enrolled 425 people into the program, to date, but is still accepting applications. Novick thinks they will eventually reach 1,000 entrepreneurs. Participants of the program range in age from 18-69 and come from all corners of the county. “We understand the economic difficulties that businesses are going through. Businesses are suffering,” said Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a Democrat. “The pandemic has significantly impacted the ways people work and Launch1000 is an opportunity for people to write their next chapter.” CONTINUED on next page
THE REVIEW • March 19, 2021 • 7 Danielle Kelly, 36, was also faced with uncertainty when her dental office in Yonkers closed last March. As a dental assistant, Kelly’s profession was considered a high risk for exposure to COVID-19. So she began collecting unemployment, not knowing when she would return to work. Without the ability to work remotely, it gave her some unexpected down time. Growing up, she had always wanted to open her own bakery. “I’ve always wanted to do something with baking since I was a kid because my uncle was a baker,” she said. “I was always told that I could bake really well.” So she started Dani Kakes, making customized hot chocolate bombs and breakable chocolates out of her New Rochelle home. She offers them in customizable designs for any occasion. “I want it to be a dessert business, but as of right now I’m just doing varieties of chocolates,” she said. “ Then I want to expand into other baked goods.” Her breakable chocolates, which are suitable for both kids and adults, come in a variety of sizes with specially designed
mini-hammers that crack open the chocolates to reveal candies like gummy bears, Sour Patch Kids, Skittles or M&M’s inside. There’s also the option to have a note set inside the chocolate for special occasions like Valentine’s Day, she said. “The design is what’s going to make it different, I hope,” Kelly added. “I thought it was a really cute idea.” For now, Dani Kakes utilizes social media to generate exposure; a website is next on her to-do list. “This is a bit of a dream,” she said. “Right now, I’m a startup so I want to see if there is enough interest in it. I’ve just never had the time needed to commit to it.” As vaccine distribution ramps out in the coming months, public health officials expect things to improve enough to further reopen the economy. There’s cautious optimism that a majority of the country will be inoculated against the coronavirus by July or August. But even if that scenario plays out, Ravitz believes the devastating effects seen on businesses will take much longer to address. “We have to be diligent
… in the coming months and years,” he said. “We are in such uncharted waters. This is not going to be an overnight fix.” O’Neill has had to deal with clients who’ve cut their advertising budgets by 50% as a result of the coronavirus, calling it his biggest hurdle since launching his business. “It’s definitely not optimal,” he said. “But I was able to structure the company as lean as possible, so if things didn’t get better we could still function.” Hiring five employees right out of the gate and managing On a Dime 100% remote, he began the operation by managing 25 clients—Len Stoler Auto Group and Bram Auto Group are some of his largest. With the world of advertising having undertaken an unexpected evolution over the last year, O’Neill thinks he could stay a remote business even if normalcy resumes. “I think it has made us more efficient,” he said. “It’s made my life easer. I never thought you needed that brick and mortar expense, it’s an ego thing, especially in Manhattan.” CONTACT: chris@hometwn.com

Health Notes
Pandemic pastimes Your new hobby might be doing more good than you know
Maybe it was the meme that pointed out how Shakespeare used his time in quarantine to write “King Lear.” Maybe it was all those photos of sourdough bread in your social media feed. Maybe you’re just bored. Whatever the spark – you’re ready to take on a hobby. Good idea, experts say. “The process of being creative does a whole bunch of really good things for us,” physically and mentally, said James C. Kaufman, professor of educational psychology at the Neag School of Education at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. Kaufman, who has written extensively about creativity, said there are many reasons why a stimulating hobby
can help us. The first is pretty simple: It’s fun. That’s mentally healthy, Kaufman said, because when we’re focused on such an activity, “we’re not thinking about any negative thoughts or fears or worries.” At its best, a creative activity such as drawing or playing music can put you in a state of “flow,” where you’re intensely caught up in what you’re doing. “This is not shockingly different from what they call runner’s high, or what mountain climbers say they feel.” Some activities, such as writing with an emphasis on a narrative, as in a journal or blog, can lower harmful stress by helping us organize our thinking, he said. “It helps put all these different
thoughts, as if they were loose clothing, onto coat hangers. And it frees up space in our brain.” That’s not the only way hobbies can help us, researchers say. A 2015 study in the Annals of Behavioral Medicine found that engaging in leisure activities improved mood and stress levels and lowered heart rates. In 2017, a small study in Psychosomatic Medicine found that pleasant leisure activities lowered the blood pressure of Alzheimer’s disease caregivers. And that’s important in the middle of a pandemic, said Jeanine Parisi, an associate scientist in the department of mental health at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore. “Everything seems a little
out of control. Activities are the one thing that could provide structure and give you back a sense of personal control.” Parisi’s colleague Michelle Carlson, a professor who leads a Johns Hopkins lab devoted to brain health, said the precise mechanism of what’s going on in our brains when we’re happily engaged in an activity isn’t clear. But some of the effects are. She led a small study published in 2015 in Alzheimer’s & Dementia of older adults who volunteered to mentor young students in Baltimore. Compared to the adults not enrolled in the program, the participants saw growth in both the prefrontal cortex – the part of the brain related to executive function, behavior and thinking – and to the hippocampus, which is important to memory. Others’ research has found benefits from all kinds of pandemic-safe activities: gardening, spending time outdoors, playing a musical instrument, even knitting. And of course, anything that increases physical activity is crucial for heart health and also can help with brain health, Carlson said. Overwhelmed by the options? Carl-
son and Parisi have done research indicating that mixing things up might actually be a great idea. Women in their study who participated in a greater variety of activities over nearly a decade had a lower risk of impaired memory and other cognitive problems. “By doing a variety of activities, you’ll expose your brain and body to different things,” Parisi said. “If you meditate, that may be good for stress reduction and relaxation. If you do some puzzles or reading or writing, that may be more cognitively stimulating. And, if you take walks, that is more physically engaging. By doing all of these, you’re really tapping into the whole brain and body.” Beyond that, Kaufman said, a good hobby is something that lives in the sweet spot of being not so easy that it’s not engaging, but not so challenging that you give up quickly. And if you’re doing something creative, remember the benefit doesn’t come from the quality of your work, he said. Put another way – we’re not all Shakespeare, and most of us will not be producing “King Lear.” To expect otherwise adds stress that can negate the benefits of the activity, Kaufman said.

Fans in the stands LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
March 15—the beginning of the Fall II sports season—also marked a new milestone in terms of attendance at high school sporting events. In short, it looks like restrictions are easing up for Section I sports fans. For the first time this school year, outdoor venues will be open to visiting fans—no more than two per student athlete—bringing some semblance of normalcy to scholastic athletics. And boy, will it make a difference. As I’ve noted in previous columns, it was jarring to watch our student-athletes play in mostly empty gymnasiums this winter. Sure, the kids were still out there, giving it their all, but there was definitely something missing, that sense of urgency and atmosphere that comes from playing in front of a crowd. Sure, there
were exceptions to the “no spectators” rule, as parents were allowed to attend the games in which a team’s seniors were honored and rules were eventually relaxed to allow a small number of home fans on the premises for the playoffs. Selfishly, I even started to get used to the new rules, as the lack of spectators allowed me to move about the gyms and ice rinks freely with my camera, searching for new vantage spots from which to shoot. But Saturday’s championship games—which allowed parents of visiting senior players to attend in person—made me remember exactly what was missing. The first game I covered that day, the Southern Westchester girls basketball final between Byram Hills and Rye, was the first time all year that I was able to forget that these games were being played under less-thanideal circumstances. Between parents from Byram Hills and Rye, there couldn’t have been more than 12 spectators in the

bleachers, but it just didn’t matter; those fans made it count. As they exhorted on their respective teams, the small number of onlookers managed to transform the gym into a typical playoff atmosphere. Maybe it wasn’t two dueling student sections chanting along with the action, but it was something different and very, very welcome. Now that visiting fans will be allowed in the stands, it doesn’t mean we’re immediately going to flip a switch and go back to the way things were before. The April 17 rivalry game between Harrison and Rye isn’t going to feel quite right, obviously, as the thousands of fans who normally descend upon the field will be likely replaced by socially distant parents in the stands. It won’t be perfect, but it’s a start. And every step we take that brings us closer to normal is cause for celebration, indeed.

Jayson McGhee chipped in 14 points and five assists as well. Scarsdale was paced with a 14-point showing by Levi Ring. With the win, the Huguenots earned the right to host Mount Vernon in the championship round.

The Huguenots came up short against Mount Vernon on Saturday afternoon, dropping the Southern Westchester title game to the No. 2 seed. Dylan Colon and Xavier Riullano led a well-balanced attack for the Knights, scoring 11 points apiece, but it was hard-nosed defense that earned Mount Vernon the title. The Knights did a terrific job against Jayson McGhee— who had torched Mount Vernon for 56 points across two regular season games—holding the standout to just four on Saturday afternoon. Promise Opurum led all scorers with 13 points. The victory was the eighth straight for Mount Vernon, who shook off a shaky start to the year to finish with a record of 9-3.
