According to Yates County Public Health Director Deborah Minor, “ While we have no confirmed cases of C0- VID-19 at this time, this action comes out of an abundance of caution in posi tioning ourselves to protect the health and welfare of our citizenry. ” Cuomo plans to turn dorms, former nursing homes into medical facilities College dormitories, former nursing homes and other buildings could be converted into medical facilities to help treat the wave of novel coronavirus in fections expected to hit New York ’ s hos pital system in coming weeks and months. Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday called on local governments to identify existing buildings that could most easi ly be renovated to handle the thousands of additional beds needed to treat New Yorkers infected by COVID-19, as well as other unrelated medical conditions. The plan includes deploying the Na tional Guard, as well as partnering with private developers and construction unions to complete the emergency pro ject. Without adding new beds at tempor ary facilities, New York state ’ s existing hospital capacity cannot handle the projected surge in COVID-19 patients, he said. “ The wave is going to break, and the wave is going to break on the hospital system, ” Cuomo said. Other aspects of the emergency plan include potentially canceling elective surgeries statewide, which Cuomo said would free up 25% to 30% of the state ’ s 53,000 hospital beds. APRIL 2020 Penn Yan ’ s basketball legacy In the 2019-2020 season, the Penn Yan girls ’ varsity basketball team had one of its best seasons in years; 25 years to be exact. This year, the girls from Penn Yan grabbed the Section V Cham pionship title for the first time in two and a half decades. Their success came from skill, perseverance, tight team work, and perhaps, genetics. Two of the Mustangs ’ fiercest com petitors this year are the daughters of two of Penn Yan ’ s most decorated play ers of all time. Jenna Curbeau is the daughter of Deb (Eaves) Curbeau, and Sierra Harrison is the daughter of Kirst- jan “Kiki ” Seago, who are both members of the Penn Yan Athletic Hall of Fame. Deb Curbeau was a member of the Lady Mustangs from 1983-1986 and a starter throughout her varsity career. While running with the Mustangs, Cur beau recorded a monumental 1,781 points and 1,166 rebounds, and was a four-time All-Star in the Finger Lakes East. In her senior year, Deb racked up an impressive list of achievements, in cluding being named MVP of the Sec tion V, Far Western Regional and New York State Championship tournaments. She was also named the N.Y.S. Small School Player of the Year, MVP for that year ’ s McDonald ’ s High School All-Star game, and was a Converse High School All-American.
