Health Department issues guidance on sports spectators The Westchester County Health Department has issued guidance on the New York State requirements for spectators at school and recreation sports. The most dramatic change is that student-athletes are now allowed to have two spectators at sporting events, as long as social distancing can still be accomplished and occupancy is still at 50%. However, schools and recreation centers still reserve the right to have a stricter interpretation and stricter guidelines. Prior to this change, it was only two spectators per player for the home team only. “We are being consistent with New York State guidance
first and foremost,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer. “We understand that youth sports are family events, and the families of Westchester have been through a lot these past 12 months. We want the family to be included and we want the student athlete to be supported by their families. We feel we can open youth sporting events a bit more and do so safely.” Following the NewYork State guidance: “For spectators, the following additional safety measures apply: • For sports events (e.g. games), Responsible Parties must limit spectators to two
spectators per player. • Responsible Parties must ensure spectators maintain six feet of physical distance between individuals and/or family/household units at all times and all spectators must wear face coverings when they are in common areas and situations where six feet of distancing is not able to be maintained, so long as they are over the age of two and medically able to tolerate such covering. • Responsible Parties may facilitate appropriate distancing through the use of markings on the ground or seating areas, and other signage. • Responsible Parties must ensure that, among all spectators,
no individual group exceeds the gathering limit that is currently in place for the region. • Responsible Parties may facilitate appropriate gathering size through the use of signage and/or staff to ensure groups are aware of and adhere to guidelines.” “We understand that parents want to see their children play sports, this is a huge part of our culture and parents should be involved in their children’s lives,” county Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler said. “As long as social distancing is observed, and masks are worn, we can accomplish both goals—safety and involvement.” (Submitted)
Cuomo allows entertainment venues to reopen Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced on Wednesday, March 3 that beginning April 2, event, arts and entertainment venues can reopen at 33% capacity, up to 100 people indoors and up to 200 people outdoors. If all attendees present proof of negative test prior to entry, capacity can increase up to 150 people indoors and up to 500 people outdoors. Social distancing and face coverings will be required by all attendees, as well as strict adherence to all applicable Department of Health guidance. Cuomo also announced domestic travelers to New York State who have been vaccinated no longer have to quarantine or test out within 90 days of their full vaccination. The governor also announced that beginning March 22, residential gatherings of up to 25 people can be held outdoors. Indoor residential gatherings remain capped at 10 people to reduce the continued risk of spread. Also, non-residential social gatherings of up to 100 people can occur indoors and up to 200 people can occur outdoors. “New Yorkers have done a
tremendous job working to defeat COVID, and we’re gradually loosening restrictions as the numbers reduce and the public health improves,” Cuomo said.
“It is clear that if we remain vigilant, we will reach the light at the end of the tunnel.” –Gov. Andrew Cuomo
“It is clear that if we remain vigilant, we will reach the light at the end of the tunnel. While we continue to expand access to the vaccine throughout the state, New Yorkers should double down on the behaviors that make such an important different fighting this pandemic—washing hands, wearing masks and social distancing. This is a tough footrace, but the infection rate is down and the vaccination rate is up, and New Yorkers will get through this together as long as we stay tough and keep this momentum heading in the right direction.” (Submitted)

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)

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 12, 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

Pulse check Watch your heart rate, but don’t obsess about it Keeping track of your heart rate is probably a good thing. Obsessing about it probably isn’t. That’s one drawback of the increasing popularity of wearable devices that constantly monitor heart rates, said Dr. Tracy Stevens, a cardiologist at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City, Missouri. “I’ve had people suffer significant injuries when they’re trying to check their heart rate while exercising,” she said. “They take a hand off their treadmill and shoot right off the back and fall off.” Even without a monitor, the preoccupation can have consequences. “They’ll push too hard on their carotid arteries to check their pulse, which instigates a reflex that drops their blood pressure, and they pass out,” Stevens said. People shouldn’t put “too much emphasis on a number.” A 2013 study published in the journal Heart of nearly 3,000 men in Denmark showed the risk of death increased by 16% for every 10 beats per minute increase in resting heart rate. But Stevens said she is far more focused on high blood pressure, obesity, smoking and other risk factors for heart disease. “Heart rate is just a piece of the whole picture,” she
said. Dr. Patrick Ellinor, director of the Cardiac Arrhythmia Service at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, called heart rates a measurement “that can be checked occasionally but should not be obsessed over. It’s important to know there is a wide range of normal.” For most adults, a normal heart at rest generally beats between 60 and 100 times per minute, Stevens said, with many factors affecting individual numbers. Figure in exertion, stress, work, even watching the news, she said, and nobody’s number always stays the same. “With our normal day in America, we’re not going to have a steady 70 beats a minute,” she said. “It’s going to be variable. Don’t be worried if it’s 60 and then it’s 80. That’s your body responding to what’s going on around you.” Generally, athletes and people in good shape tend to have lower resting heart rates. “Our heart gives us what we need by beating stronger or faster,” Stevens said. “An athlete may need just 40 beats per minute, and that’s fine because it’s so efficient. On the other hand, I’ve got a young patient whose heart muscle is so weak, their heart rate is 130. It can’t beat
16%
A 2013 study published in the journal Heart of nearly 3,000 men in Denmark showed the risk of death increased by 16% for every 10 beats per minute increase in resting heart rate. stronger, so it compensates by beating faster.” Still, a number outside the norm can be a warning sign. “Too fast or too slow can be a sign of abnormality or disease,” said Ellinor, who likened it to the story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” “You want to be just right. If someone is at either extreme, it’s worth getting checked out.”
He said a low heart rate can result in fatigue or lack of stamina, and might even require a pacemaker. Too fast could indicate an overactive thyroid or atrial fibrillation, an irregular heart rhythm that can lead to issues. Stevens recommends checking heart rate and blood pressure every month “so you know what’s normal for you. Then if you
find something out of range, that’s a red flag.” Many people focus on their heart rate as an indication of how effectively they’re exercising. The general formula for calculating a maximum heart rate is 220 minus one’s age, and many people measure their workout intensity by how close they come to the maximum. During moderate-intensi-
ty exercise, a person’s target heart rate is about 50% to 70% of their maximum heart rate. For a 40-year-old, that’s 90 to 126 beats per minute. During vigorous activity, target heart rate is about 70% to 85% of the maximum, or 126 to 153 bpm at age 40. “To get to peak fitness, you do need to increase your heart rate, but not to the maximum,” Ellinor said.

Bring on spring football LIVE MIKE Mike Smith
It may feel weird to say it, given the time of year, but high school football season is here! March 8 marked the official beginning of the Fall II sports season, an eight-week block carved out for the sports deemed too high-risk for inclusion in the original fall season, meaning that football has either come later—or earlier— than most people are used to. Like nearly anything else during the pandemic, it might feel odd to be talking about high school football in the initial stages of the spring thaw, but if the last 12 months of pandemic life has taught us anything, it’s that sometimes, you just have to go with the flow. The Fall II season will feature a two-week preseason followed by a six-game schedule—five league contests and a cross-over game to be scheduled later—and wrap up by April 25, one week af-
ter spring sports have begun their season. But while the football— and volleyball—restart has been championed by many, there are others who have voiced the opinion that attempting to squeeze in a shortened slate of gridiron games comes at the expense of those who participate in other winter or spring sports. Now, I’m not going to pretend that I don’t get where the backlash is coming from, especially as it pertains to spring sports getting short-changed. Opponents of the Fall 2 season argue that the attempt to hold this condensed campaign will eat into the time normally allotted for baseball, softball and lacrosse, a situation exacerbated due to the fact that Covid-19 led to the cancelation of all spring sports in 2020. But while I appreciate the sentiment behind wanting spring athletes to have something that approximates a full season, I think state and local officials ultimately made the right choice here. Members of Section I and the NYSPHSAA have made it abundantly clear over the last
few months that their goal is to provide sports activities—safely—to the widest cross-section of student-athletes possible. If that means cutting into every season to ensure that each sport gets a time to shine, I’m all for it. Obviously, it’s not an ideal situation for everyone, but at least the scheduling has been handled—for the most part— equitably. We’ve all had to compromise during the pandemic, and if that compromise means we’re going to lose a few weeks of the basketball and baseball season to let kids throw on the shoulder pads for a month, I think we should all be in favor of that deal. Things seem to be turning the corner when it comes to coronavirus, and hopefully high school sports will be back in full swing for the 2021-22 season. But until then, we all just have to hold the line and take what we can get. If that means spring football, I’m all for it.

16 • THE REVIEW • March 12, 2021
Playoffs set for high-risk sports By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor On March 1, the Section 1 Executive Committee announced its plans for the Winter II postseason, utilizing region-based tournaments to bring the makeshift winter campaign to a close for area hockey and basketball teams. According to the released schedule, all postseason play will take place this week, with champions slated to be crowned by Saturday, March 13. The committee approved the plan in a Monday-morning session and released the information in a series of afternoon tweets. As previously announced, annual sectionwide tournaments would not be held in order to limit travel between the various regions that comprise Section I, which includes Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess and Putnam counties. Instead, teams vying for titles will play in brackets broken down by geography and school-size, where applicable. The basketball tournaments will be broken into eight distinct fields, with four groups serving Southern Westchester schools, two comprised of teams from Northern Westchester and Putnam counties, and individual tournaments to represent schools from Dutchess and Rockland counties, respectively. There will be three distinct hockey tournaments, and all four teams in the Review’s coverage area—Mamaroneck, New Rochelle, ETBE and Rye Town/Harrison—will compete against each other in the Southern Westchester bracket. Schools from the Yonkers Public School District have opted out of postseason play and will not participate in the regional tournaments. The Winter II regular season will conclude on Tuesday, March 9, after press time. That same day, Section I officials will meet to determine postseason seedings based on overall winning percentage. In more crowded divisions— such as the lone Southern Westchester Ice Hockey group—only the top eight teams will qualify for postseason play. The quarterfinals for each bracket will kick off on Wednesday afternoon. That basketball and ice hockey would be able to have any sort of a season, let alone a postseason

tournament, has been something of a pleasant surprise for local student athletes. Sports that were deemed “high-risk” by state officials were barred from competition until Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, reversed his position on Jan. 22 and allowed local administrators to move forward with a sports restart. High risk teams began practicing on Feb. 8 and the first basketball games of the year were held seven days later. Under current state guidelines, the Winter II season is not permitted to run past March 14 in order to allow students to participate in an abbreviated Fall II season, which began on March 8 and will run until April 25. The Fall II season will include high-risk sports that were not permitted to compete last fall, including football and volleyball. CONTACT: sports@hometwn.com
