Fabric and craft retailer Joann is permanently closing its doors across the U.S.
after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time within a year
advisors and legal partners made every possible effort to pursue a more favorable outcome that would keep the company in business," the company statement reads
"We are committed to working constructively with the winning bidder to ensure an orderly wind-down of operations that minimizes the impact on all our stakeholders."
More local business: Barnes & Noble at White Plains City Center to close. What we know
Joann stores to conduct going-out-of-business salesJoann first opened as Cleveland Fabric Shop in 1943 by two families of German immigrants
after the founders' daughters Joan and Jacqueline-Ann
The retailer later rebranded again as Joann
including the Lower Hudson Valley's only store at 965 Central Park Avenue in Scarsdale
will be conducting going-out-of-business sales until the end of May
No information about specific discounts is available online, but the company told USA TODAY that some Joann stores said that base discounts ranged between 10-20%
with some Christmas items being discounted as high as 75%
Gift cards and item returns will not be accepted at these locations
A Scarsdale contractor who evaded personal income taxes from 2006 to 2021 has been ordered to pay nearly $828,000 to the IRS
Halpern also sentenced Filip Lala on April 24 to two years of supervised release
An assistant prosecutor had recommended a prison sentence of no less than 10 months
Voluntary tax compliance crumbles if businessmen think they can conceal income with impunity
“A term of imprisonment is indispensable in a case like this one
lest the crime perpetrated by the defendant breed(s) skepticism among honest taxpayers and lead(s) them to ask
Why follow the law if there are no meaningful consequences for flouting it?”
is an Albanian citizen who immigrated to the U.S
He worked as a busboy in restaurants in Yonkers for four years
then started a landscaping business and eventually got into construction
He owned five construction companies over the years
He also holds a majority ownership in Albanian Powerplant Construction Co
and has a deal with his native country to build
and maintain three hydroelectric power plants
Lala disguised his control of the local construction companies so as to evade personal income taxes
He registered the businesses in the names of his wife and brother
he filed no tax returns or claimed no income
he claimed total income of $67 for three years
underreporting his actual income by $705,510
Lala was arrested in September 2024 and charged with tax evasion and filing false tax returns
Under non-mandatory federal sentencing guidelines he could have been sentenced up to two-and-a-half years in prison and fined as much as $95,000
Probation and Pretrial Services concluded that Lala posed a low risk of recidivism
White Plains defense attorneys Lee David Auerbach and Michael
Their sentencing memo describes a “role model of a man who unfortunately made poor personal decisions.”
They emphasized what they characterized as Lala’s heroic side: escaping Communist rule in Albania and realizing the American dream
cooperation with the government’s investigation
and home confinement and monitoring will permit him to work
When the Albanian hydroelectric power plants are completed next year and he begins to receive cash distributions
“Unlike many of the defendants who appear before this court,” prosecutor Coffman advised the judge
“Lala has enjoyed significant financial success and material comforts yet committed these serious crimes in spite of those advantages.”
Lala does not deserve the benefit of the doubt with respect to the court’s judgment of his character
“the defendant still has not paid his federal tax obligation.”

DeCicco Family Markets was located at 58 E
which is across from the Metro-North train station
DeCicco Family Markets currently operates stores in Katonah
DeCicco Family Markets said it “would like to express appreciation to the community of Scarsdale for over 30 years of patronage
It is with heavy heart that we had to make the difficult decision to close the village supermarket

Parkway location and that the deal was expected to close by the end of the year

Will McAllister answered Elmira's comeback bid with a pair of second-half goals three minutes apart Wednesday as Scarsdale pulled away for a 5-2 win in a Class AAA boys soccer subregional at Hendrick Hudson High School in Montrose
McAllister scored off a rebound of a diving Sean Hanrahan save with 19 minutes
1 second remaining to give Section 1 champion Scarsdale a 4-2 advantage
then bounced in a short header off a throw-in with 16:01 to go for the game's final goal
"I thought we fought like heck tonight," Elmira coach Derek Hamilton said
Kept our composure and got it back to 3-2 and had a couple of chances after that to equalize and just couldn’t find it
"We could have tucked our tails when it was 3-0
but we just kept fighting and were able to make it a great game in the end."
Scarsdale won the state title in Class AA the previous two seasons
Class AAA became New York's top classification last year
playing in its first New York State Public High School Athletic Association tournament game
fell into a 3-0 hole before Luca Capilli's well-placed 45-yard blast on a free kick near the sideline went just over the goalie's hands and into the back of the net
Spencer Wheeler got the Express within one when he scored on a lunging header off a rebound with 35:13 left
Scarsdale's keeper leaped high to save a shot from Landon Cook
Lev Stahl's header off a Lorenzo Galeano corner kick with 16:43 left in the first half broke a scoreless tie
Galeano scored on a penalty kick with 15:42 left in the half
and PJ Rosenthal's score with 6:40 remaining in the half gave Scarsdale a 3-0 edge
"That Galeano kid was excellent on the ball," Hamilton said
"We tried to have a first and second defender every time he was able to touch the ball
Technically they were a bit stronger than us and collectively they were really quick and any little mistake we made they were able to capitalize on it
Elmira finished with a 12-6 record after beating Ithaca, 1-0, in Saturday's Section 4 final for the first sectional championship in the program's 14-season history
"A great group of kids that have been playing with each other for a long time and are used to supporting each other and are used to winning games," Hamilton said
We return 18 of the 22 players that went tonight
Looking really strong for the future and this is something we’ve been building toward for a few years now."

The mystery of a Scarsdale couple's disappearance more than four decades ago is believed to have been solved following the discovery of a car with a human bone in a Georgia pond
A 1978 Lincoln Continental found Friday matches the car Charles and Catherine Romer were driving as they returned to New York from wintering in Miami Beach in April 1980
The car had a custom license plate with the couple's initials
The pond is near Interstate 95 next to the Royal Inn hotel in Brunswick
Divers with the Sunshine State Sonar team from Florida searched the pond on Friday and found the submerged
Glynn County police said in a Facebook post Saturday
Further search by investigators working with the Camden County
Georgia dive team recovered the bone and the pond has been drained to search for more remains
had married a few years before their disappearance and were living in an apartment on Popham Road in Scarsdale
was a retired Sinclair Oil executive and a close friend of Catherine's late husband
Granddaughter says search for Scarsdale couple may be overAs of Saturday
police said that "no conclusion" had been reached as to the identity of the remains
but a granddaughter of Catherine Romer told ABC New York Monday that the family was relieved the search for the couple may be over
She said her father had spent years visiting Georgia to find out what happened to his mother and her husband
and that the family had always feared the couple met with foul play
"That was all we were consumed about until
today," Christine Seaman Heller told the outlet
"I was talking about it yesterday with a friend of mine because it's always been such a mystery
You know maybe it wasn't a horrible ending
According to published reports at the time of the disappearance
a maid found the couple's belongings in their hotel room two days later when they had not checked out
There were no signs of foul play in the room
and police said a month later that an exhaustive search of the area and coastal areas from the Florida state line to Savannah
that he suspected the wealthy couple had been abducted
He described a couple that meticulously followed their snowbird routine each year
moving into the apartment at the Miami motel his father owned
taking the same route home and always stopping over at the hotel in Brunswick
Among their belongings in the Georgia hotel room was a diary his father kept
the night before the couple left the Miami apartment
It was not clear how extensively the pond where the car was found had been searched previously
Sunshine State Sonar is a nonprofit volunteer search team dedicated to find missing people
Its website cites a dozen solved cases in recent years
the nonprofit said it had gone to the Georgia pond on a tip regarding another vehicle submerged there
Glynn County police and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are following up on the discovery and ask anyone with information to call police at (912) 554-3645 or anonymously via Silent Witness at (912) 264-1333
gathering a rebound on the far post and chipping in a put-back
it was the most important tally of Arlington’s season to this point
“It came at a critical time,” coach Brady Battistoni said Wednesday
“It swung the momentum back in our favor and really calmed our nerves.”
after having just earned one of their most significant regular-season victories in recent memory
They gave themselves every reason to be giddy
usurping a Scarsdale squad that had become a boys soccer leviathan

“They were thrilled!” Battistoni said of his players
“We took a tough loss to North Rockland to start the season
to beat a team as good as Scarsdale is incredible.”
Scarsdale had gone 44 straight games without a loss
collecting two state championships and rolling over most of its opponents in the process
as this team also played into the late autumn
reaching the Class AAA state semifinals last season
But after graduating a few of its star players and getting a new head coach
it was fair to wonder how quickly the Admirals could adjust and how they would fair against a difficult September schedule
losing their opener on Monday and having to rebound against a team that literally doesn’t lose…
It’s why the team account playfully added the “Mission Impossible” theme song to its Instagram stories
“We weren’t that nervous,” Battistoni said of facing the defending Class AA state champs
“We reflected on how things went for us last year
when we started 0-1-1 and ended up in the final four
but the boys were ready to put on a great performance.”
as Arlington dominated possession and controlled the first 30 minutes
Crisp ball movement created several opportunities and Dylan Manriquez put them on the board in the 15th minute
“hyped the team up and gave us so much confidence
A couple injuries and some fatigue slowed them in the second half and Scarsdale surged
eventually tying the score on Nico Galeano’s goal with 24 minutes left
Defense has long been a staple of this program and it remains a strength
There also were solid contributions from Rian Driscoll
Zach Butts “was phenomenal,” Battistoni said of the goalkeeper making eight saves and coming forward to break up several outlet passes into the box
filling in for the injured Miller Kapfhammer
These teams had met once before during Scarsdale’s win steak
with the Raiders pulling out a 1-0 win in September 2022
“It’s quite a way to start what hopefully will be a long career at Arlington
It’s been my dream to lead the program since I started coaching here.”
Battistoni is a 2012 Arlington graduate who once starred for this team
He went on to play at SUNY Cortland and it was during college that he got into coaching
first joining the staff of a Pleasant Valley club team led by his father
He eventually was hired to coach Arlington’s varsity “B” soccer team in 2017 and did so until 2021
when he left to take a teaching job in the Cairo-Durham district near the Catskills
He returned to Arlington last year as a teacher and volunteer assistant for the “A” team
“Being part of the team last fall has made my transition easier,” he said of succeeding coach Kevin Davis
“It's not a totally new staff and the players already know me
and we're taking things that worked well and just making some tweaks
The guys have done a great job of adapting and stepping up.”
The offense now seeks to be more possession-oriented
that the roster includes 19 seniors and they were fortunate to have a couple players rejoin the team from academy programs
“I think we've got talent comparable to last year,” Battistoni said
“Our first goal is to go after a league title
which is a great way to go into the postseason
then make a run at another (Section 1) championship
but I don't see why we can't be one of those teams advancing.”

This comes after the company filed for bankruptcy for a second time last month
The company has not released a specific list of the stores closing. However, court filings show that Joann will close stores in all 50 states, with California, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and Washington among those affected most, according to CNN
The 81-year-old Ohio-based retailer has identified the following four Hudson Valley stores for potential immediate closure in court documents, according to NEXSTAR:
A company spokesperson said that "right-sizing our store footprint is a critical part of our efforts to ensure the best path forward." The spokesperson also told USA Today it was "a very difficult decision to make
given the major impact we know it will have on our Team Members
our customers and all of the communities we serve."
The company will decide which stores to close after "a careful analysis" of how those stores are performing
the retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and kept all of its stores open
the company said it had acquired $132 million in new funding which it planned to use to reduce its debt by approximately $505 million
Sales at Joann had slumped after a jump during the pandemic when Americans were isolated in their homes and spent more money on sewing and craft supplies
many people had to cut back on their discretionary spending
The news comes as other major retailers have announced closures as well
with Kohl's notably among those last month
