Small businesses may soon find relief as feds move to revive Paycheck Protection Program
January 8, 2021 / 11:39 AM / AP Will restaurants survive winter?
For Nancy Sinoway, a second coronavirus relief loan would increase the chances that her dressmaking business will survive. I could use it for marketing, for new samples. I could use it as a lifeline, said Sinoway, who designs and makes dresses for occasions like weddings and proms. She was flooded with order cancellations starting in early March as the virus spread and large gatherings and events were abandoned.
Sinoway got a Paycheck Protection Program loan last May and used it to pay her three employees. But the loan money fell far short of what she needed to maintain her Port Washington, New York, shop. She was forced to close it and move the business into her home.

For the first time, the competition will be run through RIT’s Global Cybersecurity Institute (GCI), a new, three-story facility that features a state-of-the-art Cyber Range and Training Center. The competition environment will be hosted by the Cyber Range infrastructure, which is capable of hosting more than 5,000 virtual machines for immersive scenarios, instead of having to use a separate cloud.
CPTC has become the premier offense-based collegiate computing security event, after starting at RIT six years ago. CPTC is a counterpart to the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC), which is the premier defense-based event for college students. The events help students build and hone the skills needed for a job in the cybersecurity industry an industry that currently has a severe shortage of qualified professionals.
2:45 After three decades in politics in New York State, Joe Robach is retiring. WXXI’s James Brown caught up with him about his career and how he sees today s politics.
“I’m getting rid of so much stuff,” said Robach. “It’s amazing what you accumulate over so many years.”
Robach was first elected in 1991, replacing his father, the longtime Democratic state Assemblyman Roger Robach, who died that year.
Joe Robach is something of a rare breed in an increasingly partisan world. He had support of the Conservative Party both as a Democrat in the state Assembly and as a Republican in the state Senate, where he’s served since 2003. He rose through the ranks and is assistant minority whip.
CORRECTION 1.7.21: This article has been updated from its original version to reflect that Rochester has an ordinance that established a percent for art program. That program, however, has been dormant since its adoption in 2007. CITY had initially reported that no such ordinance was on the books. Every year for as long as anyone can remember, and for as long as available records show, Monroe County adopts a budget that offers crumbs in the way of funding to arts and cultural organizations. It happened again in December, when legislators approved a $1.2 billion spending plan for 2021 that set aside about one-tenth of a percent roughly $1.4 million for the arts.
