SBA prioritizes small businesses in PPP loan program Building on a month of strong results, the Biden Administration and the U.S. Small Business Administration, SBA, are taking steps with the Paycheck Protection Program to further promote equitable relief for America’s mom-and-pop businesses. The latest round of Paycheck Protection Program funding opened one month ago and already the Biden Administration has succeeded in making major improvements to the program’s implementation: • For businesses with fewer than 10 employees, the share of funding is up nearly 60% • For businesses in rural communities, the share of funding is up nearly 30% • The share of funding distributed through Community Development Financial Institutions and Minority Depository Institutions is up more than 40% “The SBA is a frontline agen-
cy working to create an inclusive economy, focused on reaching women-owned, minority-owned, low- and moderate-income, rural, and other underserved communities in meaningful ways. While reported data illustrates we have made real strides in ensuring these funds are reaching underserved communities, we believe we can still do better,” SBA Senior Advisor Michael Roth said. “The important policy changes we are announcing further ensure inclusivity and integrity by increasing access and much-needed aid to Main Street businesses that anchor our neighborhoods and help families build wealth.” These simple progressive steps by the Biden Administration further demonstrate the commitment to racial and gender equity, reaching low and moderate-income, rural, urban, and other underserved areas. The SBA will: • Establish a 14-day, exclusive
PPP loan application period for businesses and nonprofits with fewer than 20 employees • Allow sole proprietors, independent contractors, and self-employed individuals to receive more financial support by revising the PPP’s funding formula for these categories of applicants • Eliminate an exclusionary restriction on PPP access for small business owners with prior nonfraud felony convictions, consistent with a bipartisan congressional proposal • Eliminate PPP access restrictions on small business owners who have struggled to make federal student loan payments by eliminating federal student loan debt delinquency and default as disqualifiers to participating in the PPPEnsure access for non-citizen small business owners who are lawful U.S. residents by clarifying that they may use Individual Taxpayer Identification
Number to apply for the PPP.The 14-day exclusivity period started on Wednesday, Feb. 24 at 9 a.m., while the other four changes will be implemented by the first week of March. These actions will help to lay the foundation for a robust and equitable recovery for small businesses across the country. Small businesses employ nearly half of the American workforce; they create 2 out of 3 net new private-sector jobs; they reinvest 68% of revenues to build and sustain communities. Borrowers can apply for the Paycheck Protection Program by downloading the First Draw PPP loan application or Second Draw PPP loan application and working with a participating PPP lender through the SBA Lender Match tool. Updated PPP information, including forms, guidance, and resources is available at www.sba. gov/ppp and www.treasury.gov/ cares. (Submitted)
Basketball announcer Rich Leaf, a 2017 inductee to the Westchester Sports Hall of Fame, was arrested on Tuesday, Feb. 23 on child pornography charges following a months-long investigation by the FBI, federal documents show. Leaf, 72, was released on bail the same day on a $100,000 bond. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Leaf has been accused of receiving and possession videos and images containing child pornography and posing as a teenager online to solicit explicit sexual material from a 15-yearold New York boy.In May of 2020, FBI agents interviewed Leaf at both his Somers residence and at an FBI field office. Over the course of those interviews, Leaf admitted to being sexually attracted to teenaged boys and allowed agents to search his personal computer. Federal law enforcement officials recovered 10 files depicting child pornography on the hard drive. Leaf also admitted to using several pseudonyms, including
“Alex Bronson,” to pose as a teenaged boy online and solicit sexually explicit material from minors. Among the files found on Leaf’s computer were a nude image and pornographic video of a 15-year-old boy with whom Leaf had been communicating via Skype. The youth in question, labeled as “Victim-1” in the case against Leaf, was interviewed by FBI agents in August 2020 and the boys’ age was confirmed by his mother. “A non-explicit version of the image Victim-1 sent to “Alex” was shown to Victim-1’s mother,” read the report filed by FBI Special Agent Andrew S. Kearns. “She confirmed the identity of the awards, posters, and other decorations in the background of the image, which used to be present in Victim-1’s bedroom.” The news came as a shock to many in the area, given Leaf’s status as a former teacher in the Harrison Central School District and as a local sports fixture. Leaf had been a youth soccer official since the 1980s and was employed by Section I as the public BUSTED continued on page 3

Symposium to examine impact of dementia on minorities From 9:30 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 6, the Alzheimer’s Association will host a free virtual symposium focused on the impact of dementia on minority communities. The event will start with a showing of “In Our Right Mind,” a documentary that follows two families’ struggles to balance their caregiving duties with their daily lives and the memories of who their loved ones once were. It also travels across the country with researchers looking at the specific effects of Alzheimer’s in communities of color and exploring how to fight the disease when there is no cure. The film will be followed by a panel discussion featuring producer and narrator Renee Chenault-Fattah; Collette V. Smith, the first female African-American coach for the New York Jets and a caregiver for her mother; and Pastor Viviana De Cohen of Mount Vernon Heights Congregational Church. At 11 a.m., Dr. Maria Carril-
lo, chief science officer for the Alzheimer’s Association, will give a keynote presentation on Alzheimer’s in the minority community, which will be followed by a brief presentation by Dr. Christiane Reitz of Columbia University. To register, visit the website or call the Alzheimer’s Association at 1-800-272-3900. The symposium is supported in part by a grant from the New York State Department of Health. Sponsors include AARP New York; Andrus on Hudson; The Westchester County Chapter of the Links, Inc.; and Westchester Public Private Partnership for Aging Services. “It is our responsibility to educate and empower our communities of color, especially African Americans about the devastating Alzheimer’s disease, as it is the fourth leading cause of death for African Americans,” said Terry A Joyner, president of the Westchester County Chapter
of The Links, Incorporated. “We are honored again to collaborate with the Alzheimer’s Association Hudson Valley Chapter on its third symposium. We look forward to you joining us virtually to learn more about Alzheimer’s disease.” The Hudson Valley Chapter serves families living with dementia in seven counties in New York, including Duchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester.

address announcer for the high school basketball championships at the Westchester County Center for nearly four decades. He was currently employed as the announcer for Iona College basketball games, and conducted weekly interviews with high school students for the “Con-Edison Scholar-Athlete of the Week” award, which aired on WHUD radio. He also served as a volunteer public address announcer for basketball games at both Scarsdale and Mamaroneck high schools. The day before his arrest, Leaf was in Mamaroneck’s Palmer Gymnasium, calling a varsity contest between the Tigers and Harrison. Although representatives from the Mamaroneck Union Free School District would not comment on the arrest, Tigers Athletic Director Bari Suman confirmed that Leaf has been barred from the Mamaroneck campus and that administrators have met with Mamaroneck’s student-athletes to explain the situation and address any questions or concerns the students might have. The FBI is currently investigating any other instances in which Leaf might have used a phony identity to target underaged victims and has asked that

As we allege in this case, Mr. Leaf used Skype to chat
with his victims,” said FBI Assistant Director William F. Sweeney Jr. “I’d like to stress to parents that although these contacts may occur in a virtual world, they harm your children in the real world.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com

Five things to know about Colorectal Cancer, prevention Though largely preventable, colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S., as the American Cancer Society,ACS, alarms. Younger people are at risk for getting the disease—the ACS estimates that in 2021 approximately 10.3% of new colorectal cancers occur in people under age 50. “Colorectal cancer is no longer a disease that only affects older populations,” says Dr. David Kauvar, director of gastroenterology at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence, and an assistant professor of medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. “While the rate of the cancer has decreased among older adults, largely due to regular colonoscopies, the rate of this disease has more than doubled among adults younger than 50.” Why are younger people more often diagnosed with colorectal cancer and what preventative steps can be undertaken to address this alarming trend? In recognition of Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March, Kauvar and his colleagues at
NewYork-Presbyterian are determined to raise awareness of the disease and shed light on colorectal cancer prevention. What is colorectal cancer? Colorectal cancer starts as a growth on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. These growths are called polyps. Some types of polyps can change into cancer over time, but not all polyps become cancer. The chance of a polyp turning into cancer depends on its type. Colon cancer and rectal cancer are often grouped together because they have many features in common. What are colorectal cancer symptoms and risk factors? Colorectal cancer symptoms are similar to those of common gastrointestinal issues and usually can include abdominal pain, blood in stool, changes in bowel habits, tiredness, fatigue, unexplained weight loss and decreased appetite. Those whose family members experienced colorectal cancer should inquire about undergoing genetic testing as they are at high risk for the disease. In addition to family history,
factors that can increase your risk may include alcohol use, a diet rich in red or processed meat, obesity, and smoking. People with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease, as well as certain ethnicities, especially African Americans, are more likely to get colorectal cancer. At what age should I start screening for colorectal cancer, and what types of screenings are available? The recommendation has been to start screenings for people at age 50 but in light of more recent data, the new advice is to start screening at age 45. Most insurance companies will recognize the younger age as appropriate for screening but not all, as yet. People at high risk for colorectal cancer should consult with their doctor about the most appropriate time to begin screenings. There are a few colorectal cancer screening strategies, including at-home stool tests and a colonoscopy exam. At-home tests are designed to detect DNA abnormalities or blood in your stool which might be symptoms of colorectal cancer. Colonosco-
py, however, remains the most effective and reliable form of preventing colorectal cancer. During this medical exam, the doctor checks for polyps inside the rectum and the entire colon and can remove any polyps found during the procedure. The COVID-19 pandemic caused many to delay their scheduled colonoscopies. The procedure is available at NewYork-Presbyterian campuses, including NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence Hospital and NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital, and you should not wait any longer to schedule this lifesaving screening. What are the causes behind the rapid increase in colorectal cancer among young adults? It’s not yet clear why more young people are impacted by the disease, though certain genetic conditions, such as Lynch syndrome, and lifestyle risk factors (diet, obesity and smoking, among others) do raise the risk of developing colorectal cancer at a young age. Therefore, preventative measures and screening earlier, at age 45 as opposed to 50, are even more important. What can I do to ensure colon cancer health?
David Kauvar
While the most effective way to prevent colorectal cancer is through a colonoscopy, you can proactively reduce your risk for developing colorectal cancer by maintaining healthy lifestyle habits. Make sure to exercise regularly, eat a high
fiber diet and reduce intake of red or processed meats. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. If you have any concerns, do not wait to see a specialist and do not delay any necessary medical procedures. (Submitted)

Rye Country Day teacher
continues art lessons during pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic has created immense hurdles for art educators. Rye Country Day School art instructor Lauren Behar deserves recognition for her commitment to art education and desire to continue to exercise her students’ creativity under extraordinary circumstances. A year ago, Behar could not have imagined all the struggles she would face this school year. Rye Country Day School opted for a hybrid teaching model this year, so a portion of her students are learning from home. Behar’s remaining students are learning in-person while wearing masks and distancing. Additionally, her art room has been replaced with a rolling cart. “I can’t really have the children make messes in art the way they used to,” Behar said. “Many rooms don’t have sinks, and kids can’t wear smocks, so I have avoided using clay and any paint other than watercolors. They work in sketchbooks and all small scale since they only have their desks.” Behar has been forced to reinvent how she manages her art room and has turned to technology to stay organized and reach students learning remotely. “I have had to master many platforms of technology this year, including Zoom, Haiku, Seesaw, and of course Artsonia,” Behar said. Behar is utilizing an online art education platform called
Artsonia.com—the world’s largest collection of online student art portfolios—to collect assignments, display student artwork and maintain digital student art portfolios. “Artsonia has been the best,” she said. “Since I only see students once every 5 weeks, it has been a wonderful way to review and assess their final products.” Artsonia helps thousands of teachers in more than 100 countries worldwide reach students electronically while creating online student art portfolios. Parents and relatives can view the art online, leave comments and order keepsakes featuring the artwork. As part of its mission, Artsonia donates 20% of merchandise revenue directly back to local classrooms and has given back more than $11 million to local classrooms since 2000. “Our mission at Artsonia is to bring communities together to celebrate children’s artistic expressions,” said Jim Meyers, CEO and co-founder of the company. “It has been amazing to watch teachers like Lauren—who are passionate about the process of creating, recognizing and cherishing student art—persevere during a time when the arts are being vastly overlooked.” Art education equips students with fundamental skills they need throughout their lives. It aids in the essential develop-
Lauren Behar
ment of problem-solving skills, decision-making, motor skills, creativity and cultural understanding. Behar’s students have been creating art to relieve stress and enjoy themselves. “Art provides stress relief in these most stressful times,” Behar said. “It has been a great
pleasure and gift to be teaching art during this pandemic. Students tell me all the time that art is their favorite subject, and I feel their enthusiasm when they have art. Any happiness and joy is a treasure to be embraced amidst these difficult times.” (Submitted)

vocalists were also famous for singing and arranging both original and “cover” versions of classic ballads that have endured over the half-century since they were first recorded. Groups such as The Platters and the Everly Brothers as well as solo performers such as Ben E. King, Johnny Mathis, Roy Orbison and Bobby Vinton were responsible for a large percentage of record sales and then became a staple on TV programs such as “American Bandstand” and the “Ed Sullivan Show.” This nostalgic program will revisit many of these classic numbers as they were performed in live concerts or on television. This is the fifth and final part of the series.
Chabad Jewish Center of Bronxville Wednesday, March 10 from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. JLI: Journey of the Soul Who hasn’t wondered what happens when we die? We know what happens to the body.

Can I relate to an afterlife if I’m not spiritual? At once practical and powerful reflective and relatable Journey of the Soul teaches a Jewish perspective on life that begins before birth and lasts well after a person’s passing. It’s a journey we all take and it’s yours to explore this winter. Zoom

Put on HAPPY FACE Why experts say a good mood can lead to good health
Understand that laughter feels good, while anger feels awful. But it does take one to explain why one of these feelings can boost the immune system, while the other can wear it down, damage the heart and increase the risk for dementia. Simply put: “Mood can influence your health,” said Dr. Erin Michos, director of Women’s Cardiovascular Health at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore. Studies show negative emotions — including anger, hostility and pessimism — are linked to a higher risk of heart disease and lower chance of recovery from events such as heart attacks, as well as poorer cognitive health. Conversely, a growing body of research shows feelings such as happiness,
optimism, gratitude, a sense of purpose, well-being or satisfaction in life lead to better heart and brain health. A 2016 study in Health Psychology even found that having a happy spouse or partner could improve an individual’s overall health and increase healthy behaviors, such as being more physically active. There are many reasons for this, said Michos, a cardiologist who co-authored a recent American Heart Association scientific statement on the ways in which psychological health impacts heart and brain health. Strong, negative feelings, such as anger, and stress, such as from anxiety or depression, activate the amygdala, the region in the brain that handles emotion. It activates the body’s “fight or flight” response, triggering the release of cortisol and adrenaline,
hormones that make the heart beat faster and blood pressure rise, she said. “This can be stressful on the heart, particularly for people who have underlying heart conditions.” It also can cause blood platelets to form clots, and trigger plaque in the heart or brain to rupture, causing a heart attack or stroke. Prolonged stress also increases inflammation and lowers the body’s immune response. This biological response may be compounded by harmful behaviors, Michos said. “People with poor coping mechanisms for stress may sleep poorly, engage in binge eating and exercise less.” On the flip side, lowering stress through positive feelings also affects brain circuitry, said Jill Goldstein, founder and executive director of the Innovation Center on Sex

So does spending time with friends and family to build strong social support. The better someone feels, the more likely they are to maintain their health, Michos said. “Optimistic people take better care of themselves. They are more compliant with medication, more likely to get checkups, to eat healthy and exercise.” It’s never too late to make a difference, said Goldstein. “The brain is very retrainable. The older we get, the more difficult it is to do, but it can be done.”

In the blink of an eye LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
They say that time flies when you’re having fun, but if we’ve learned anything during this pandemic, it’s that time flies when you’re doing, well, just about anything other than sitting in your home. I was reminded of this truth just this week, when I looked at my schedule for the next few weeks and realized that we’re just about done with the winter season and ready to move on to football. Of course, it was simply common sense that the winter season—at least for athletes participating in high-risk sports—was going to feel like a blur. Because New York State officials dragged their feet on giving the green light until February, sports like basketball, ice hockey and wrestling were forced to play super-condensed schedules that attempted to cram four months of action
into five or six weeks. That being said, it’s still jarring to have the stories you’ve written about basketball’s return fresh in your head and realize that the Section I seeding meetings—which will determine the modified playoff schedule—will be held on Tuesday and the champions will all be crowned by March 13. Talk about whiplash! But if the season has seemed short for these teams, it’s important to remember that teams in other sports, such as track and wrestling, hardly had even half that time together. For track and field athletes, pandemic-related circumstances forced the shortened season to be moved outdoors, and then the unusual amount of snow we got this winter conspired to shorten the season even further. Wrestling programs—some of the hardest hit by Covid protocols due to the nature of the sport—were forced to cram an entire shortened season into an even shorter amount of time. If you want proof, just look at Harrison, which partici-
pated in their first regular season meet of the year on Feb. 24, and their final one just seven days later. Obviously, it hasn’t been ideal, but I don’t think anyone can spend that much time complaining; at least the kids got a chance to play! These next few months don’t figure to be any different. Those sports that were considered too dangerous to play this past fall will begin practices next week. They’ll be given until April 25 to cram in a full season, overlapping a bit with Spring sports that will get the OK to start on April 19. We’ll be hurtling towards the end of the year with a breakneck pace, just trying to get as many games in as we can before graduation time rolls around. It will be a hectic, chaotic and challenging few months for sure. But I don’t think anyone will mind.

Eagles off to quick start ICE HOCKEY
league
ETBE 5 RTH 1 ICE HUTCH
2/24/21
Game Notes: • Will Stupart had 2 goals & 2 assists in the Eagles’ win. • ETBE outshot the Titans 44-11 • Matthew Tse & Dylan Johns record their first varsity goals By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor The 2021 hockey season might have been condensed significantly, but last year’s Section I runners-up have wasted little time putting their imprint on the season. On Feb. 24, the ETBE Eagles won their fourth straight contest to open the winter campaign, topping RyeTown/Harrison 5-1 in a dominant performance. The Eagles controlled time of possession from the outset on Wednesday night, outshooting their foes by a 44-11 margin that
was even more one-sided until the Titans were able to gain some momentum late in the final period. Will Stupart led ETBE with two goals and two assists, but Eagles coach Steve Forzaglia credited the team’s inspired defensive play as the main factor in the win. “We focus on the forecheck and when we play it hard, when we attack it, we can force a lot of pucks back in their end and that’s what happened” Forzaglia said. “When we don’t force it hard or take a body here or there, that’s when we end up having to scramble back on defense.” As a result of that forecheck, the Eagles’ highly touted netminder, JP Rosabella only faced 11 shots on the evening, surrendering a third-period goal on a breakaway by Matthew Tse. His RyeTown/Harrison counterpart, Clarke Cooper, turned away 39 shots according to the official stats, but Forzaglia believes the number may have been higher given the number of chances his team was able to generate in front of the net. “We always work on getting the puck looking for shots and getting rebounds,” said Forzaglia said. “We probably should have

scored a boatload more because we had a lot more shots than they had registered, but their goalie made a ton of great saves on us.” At 4-0, the Eagles have been red-hot to start the season, something that Forzaglia chalks up to the high number of players returning from last season’s run to

the Division I title game. “When you have a short season like this, it’s beneficial when most of your team is returning,” he said. “They know our system, they know what to expect and they know how things run and having that definitely makes it easier.”
The Eagles will be back in action on Thursday night when they travel to the Ebersole Arena for another matchup with the Titans. The game will be the team’s third in three days, but Forzaglia is confident that his team will be able to rise to the occasion. “Obviously playing three
games in three nights, our legs are going to be a bit heavy but we just have to be ready to go,” he said. “We’ve got two more games this weekend against Mt. Pleasant, but then we’ll have a bit of a break for a couple of days.” CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
