INSIDE REGENERON AS COVID EXPLODED

hile the Covid-19 virus was knocking the world off balance, scientists, production experts, office managers, logistics personnel and others at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Tarrytown were gearing up in a monumental effort to find a therapy that could save lives.

Regeneron had the financial as well as human resources needed for such

an effort, having reported more than $6.55 billion in revenues and more than $2.11 billion in net income to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for 2019.

What resulted from Regeneron’s effort — the drug REGEN-COV, also known as the Regeneron cocktail — combines two monoclonal antibodies to attack SARSCoV-2, as Covid-19 is formally known. It’s one of the drugs that Donald J. Trump received while he was president, which some experts believe may have helped save his life after he became ill and had to be helicoptered to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com Jean-Michel Boers doesn’t often speak to the media, but in an exclusive interview with the Business Journal, he spoke of Boehringer Ingelheim’s future as it marks 50 years in the U.S. While understandably proud of Boehringer Ingelheim USA’s reaching

its golden anniversary this year, the president and CEO notes that parent company Boehringer Ingelheim was actually founded by Albert Boehringer in Ingelheim am Rhein, Germany — in 1885.

“So obviously we were doing business with the U.S. for years,” Boers said. “But when we set up operations here, Ridgefield was chosen, and that’s where we’ve been since.”

The 294-acre campus is the pharma giant’s North American headquarters, but Boers noted that it has a number of other sites across the U.S., including in Fremont, California, and its animal health operation in Duluth, Georgia.

The latter was acquired in 2017, in an unusual arrangement where Boehringer Ingelheim » EXCLUSIVE

Architect partners say tiny houses a perfect fit for Westchester

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

wo entrepreneurs believe that the Westchester County housing market, where three-bedroom ranches, four-bedroom colonials and 12-bedroom mansions are the norm, has room for something that doesn’t take up much room at all: tiny houses.

The structures typically are 200 to 500 square feet, sometimes on wheels so they can be towed to different locations. The homes have been big for years in some parts of the U.S., boosted in part by the HGTV series “Tiny House, Big Living.”

Christos Athanasiou and Jonus Ademovic are partners in the company miniMAX, which has its office in Long Island City. They won approval June 9 from the Peekskill Planning Board to build a tiny house at 51 Hudson St., at the corner of South Water Street, near the

Metro-North Railroad station.

The structure would be used as a sales office to introduce people to the tiny house concept while explaining to prospects the services and tiny house products miniMAX offers.

The Peekskill tiny house is classified as a temporary structure that would be put up this summer and removed next spring. The planning board voted to approve the site plan for building the tiny house and said there would be no adverse environmental impacts.

The interior of the showplace tiny house in Peekskill would be 265 square feet with an exterior deck that covers another 265 feet.

It would have an electrical connection, but not be hooked up to sewer or water lines because no one would be living there.

The application to Peekskill indicated that it would take about a week to a week and a half to install. Finishes would include natural

wood siding, glass and seamed metal.

A staff report from Peekskill City Planner John Lynch had noted that miniMAX was seeking a waiver from the requirement to provide two parking spaces because of nearby municipal parking. He stated that the city had asked miniMAX to include a small plaque near the sidewalk at the tiny house that describes what the house is, who to contact for more information, that it is a temporary installation and that the Peekskill zoning code does not currently permit tiny houses as either a principal or accessory use.

“The exposure is key. We like the location. There’s a lot of activity as we see it,” Athanasiou told the Business Journal.

Ademovic noted that both he and Athanasiou are architects.

“We were thinking how can we make this more affordable. People in New York City might be thinking about having something in the Catskills, outside of New York City, just as a weekend getaway basically,” Ademovic said.

“At the same time, there are a lot of people who have homes where they might use some kind of guest house or pool house or living quarters for an elderly parent. Our homes are kind of like a one-bedroom apartment that’s been adapted to interact with nature.”

He said that anyone in Westchester with a regular house on a large enough piece of property could add a tiny house to the backyard if zoning and other local regulations permitted.

Athanasiou said the exterior components of the tiny houses they’re offering generally would be priced from $50,000 to $120,000 and they could be assembled by local craftsmen. The components are factory-built and would include walls, roof, windows, doors and interior partitions.

“We have an interiors kit that we offer.

Vendors we work with supply us with interi-

or finishes, kitchens, bathrooms, floors, down to the paint,” Athanasiou said. “People have the option to buy their own and finish it themselves the way they want. We’re also going as far as supplying a furniture kit.”

Ademovic and Athanasiou pointed out that New York state last year joined about a dozen other states and legalized putting a tiny house on a foundation rather than just limiting them to be structures on wheels like campers or house trailers. MiniMAX is providing its services in the Hudson Valley, Catskills, Long Island and Berkshires of Massachusetts.

Athanasiou said they have a manual on their website, minimaxliving.com, that acts as step-by-step guide for people interested in looking into tiny houses in a big way. The company suggests that tiny houses could be put to various uses, including as weekend retreats, starter homes, garden offices, guest houses, pool houses and even for Airbnb rentals. It offers to work with a buyer interested in do-it-yourself installation as well as providing turnkey houses.

“It really starts with step one: speak with your local code enforcer, building department, find out if you can actually build one of these on your property before moving forward,” Athanasiou said.

“New York state is moving forward with legislation to permit tiny homes as-of-right and bypassing any town and local zoning ordinances.”

He forecast a time when municipalities would preapprove standardized tiny houses so that people can just buy and install a factory-built unit as easily as they buy and drive a factory-built car.

Ademovic noted that in California standardized tiny houses currently can be bought and installed without a lengthy permitting process.

Central Avenue Nissan in Yonkers accused of gender discrimination

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

D

awn Vitale, a former saleswoman at Central Avenue Nissan Inc., claims that the Yonkers auto dealership concealed that salesmen were paid salaries while she was paid only commissions.

Vitale accused the dealership and co-owners James Rourke and Mark Brennan of gender discrimination and retaliation in a lawsuit filed June 1 in U.S. District Court, White Plains.

Vitale said the dealership “humiliated and degraded” her.

Central Avenue Nissan did not respond to an email asking for its side of the story.

Vitale was hired in 2016 as a used-car sales manager, according to the lawsuit, and was paid 8% commissions on car sales.

When she asked Rourke, the general manager, about a base salary, he allegedly replied, “Sales managers don’t get paid a salary.”

She was promoted to general sales manager in 2017 and paid 3% commissions on new and used-car sales. She inquired about a base salary, according to the complaint, and Rourke said again that sales managers don’t get salaries.

Then she discovered that two recently fired salesmen had been getting salaries plus commissions. Once again, she alleges, Rourke denied her request for a base salary.

Every salesman and male manager were getting a base salary, she said. Even trainees she hired were paid $800 a week plus commissions. Only Vitale, the lone woman in the sales department, received no base salary.

She complained of gender discrimination to Rourke, the lawsuit states, and he agreed to pay her $500 a week plus 3% commissions, still “far less than any of the male sales managers who had less experience and less seniority.”

Thereafter, Brennan allegedly became aggressive with her, waving papers in her face, for instance, screaming at her, and standing very close to her. She interpreted the alleged “newly aggressive behavior” as retaliation for voicing concerns about gender discrimination.

Rourke, according to the complaint, emailed her a picture of a topless woman, and when she confronted him he dismissed it as a joke.

Vitale resigned in November 2019, “after more than a year of retaliatory actions … and still not earning as much as any of her male counterparts.”

She is demanding lost wages and benefits and damages for injury, distress, suffering and injury to her reputation.

Vitale is represented by Brooklyn attorney Jessenia Maldonado.

“Every salesman and male manager were getting a base salary, Vitale said. Even

trainees she hired were paid $800 a week plus commissions. Only Vitale, the lone woman in the sales department, received no base salary.”

“With First Republic’s support, we can continue to thrive in uncertain times.”

Nothing nutty about Nuthatch Naturals, Weston inventor’s skin care for kids We don’t create gimmicks to enrich ourselves; we enrich our readers with news about where they live and work.

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

N

uthatch Naturals is a name designed to catch one’s eye. At least that’s what Marc de Mul, the founder of the new line of skin care products for children, believes.

“My wife always called our daughter ‘Nuthatch,’” de Mul said.

“Though I’m not really sure why.”

The same 7-year-old eponym, as might be expected, provided the impetus for the daily soothing lotion. When she developed unusually dry spots on her face and arm, de Mul said, he began looking for age-appropriate creams that also used healthy ingredients — and came up empty.

Unlike most parents who would feel helpless and frustrated, however, de Mul was able to draw on his background, which includes four years as a principal scientist at Johnson & Johnson and five years as a research scientist at Unilever — to design his own.

“It was something I always wanted to do,” the Weston resident said, “and with the pandemic last year there was a lot more time to work on it.”

He began testing what would become Nuthatch’s signature product last summer. “It took a while to get it right,” he said. “You have to run allergy tests, which of course are very important for a children’s product, along with stability tests.”

Most skin care products are petroleum-based, de Mul explained, which result in an off-putting stickiness and often includes anti-aging ingredients and allergens — not what someone interested in utilizing a natural, sustainable ointment is seeking.

Nuthatch also uses recyclable packaging, with each box featuring a children’s puzzle on the back.

That, along with the cheerful looking bird-with-a-crown on the front (naturally, a nuthatch), appeals to children and, with luck, will encourage them to adopt a lifelong interest in self-care, de Mul said.

“It should be fun to try different products,” he said.

“We feel very strongly about green and sustainable products,” he continued, “especially when it comes to children. We’re aiming at toddlers to pre-teens — it’s not for babies, and it’s not really for teens because we didn’t test for whether

it can affect acne or not.”

In addition, the dermatologist-tested, fragrance-free lotion has been certified cruelty-free

by The Leaping Bunny, which requires that a company submit to independent audits rather than simply rely on a written statement, as other anti-animal-cruelty organizations do.

“We’re also waiting for a certification from the Environmental Working Group,” de Mul noted; that organization identifies harmful ingredients in various consumer products, including sunscreen.

Nuthatch also goes the extra mile by donating 10% of its annual proceeds (calculated as total sales minus expenses) to child-based charities, with Fairfield nonprofit Save the Children its first recipient.

Officially launched on June 10, the product is being sold on its website and at area farmers markets.

“We’ve gotten some really, really nice reviews so far,” de Mul said.

“One girl said she liked it so much that she took it with her to school.”

Rye Brook restaurateur declares $5.7 million in bankruptcy debts

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

F

or 15 years Rye Brook restaurateur Roberto Delledonne ran the grand Remi restaurant in Manhattan, with all the trappings of success.

But lawsuits with employees and his landlord and tax problems with the state encumbered his success and led to the closing of Remi 18 months ago.

On June 9, Delledonne petitioned U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains for personal Chapter 7 liquidation, listing the restaurant’s tax and legal obligations that undermined his success.

He declared $17,270 in assets and more than $5.7 million in liabilities.

Delledonne and partners bought the restaurant in 2005. Remi, at West 53rd Street and Avenue of the Americas, a block away from The Museum of Modern Art, was styled as a fanciful Venetian dining destination.

Employees sued him in 2009 and again in 2019 for overtime and minimum wage

violations.

His landlord sued him in 2019 for defaulting on the lease, and this past February a judge ruled that Delledonne owed the landlord $2.1 million that he personally guaranteed. He lists the debt as disputed, in the bankruptcy petition.

The New York Department of Taxation and Finance ranks him as the state’s 67th worst individual scofflaw. As of last month, he owed nearly $1.9 million in state taxes, according to the state delinquent taxpayer report, but the total could be considerably more, or less, depending on how much interest has accrued or how much has been paid off the original tax liens. He lists the debt as $1.3 million on the bankruptcy petition and characterizes it as disputed.

Delledonne’s personal assets consist primarily of a life insurance policy valued at $16,420. He lives in a 6,400-square foot, four bedroom, 5 bathroom house worth $1.6 million, according to Zillow. The house has been owned by his wife since 2010, according to Westchester property records.

Besides the tax and landlord debts, he owes about $1.7 million on a real estate

mortgage he co-signed, $561,000 to food and supply vendors, $92,500 on credit cards, and $27,000 to Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.

Debts owed to former employees are listed as disputed and the amounts as “not certain.” But according to a report filed Jan. 15 by a magistrate judge in Manhattan supreme court, he owes $871,395 to 21 former employees.

Delledonne is not employed and the only family income is from his wife’s $64,400 a year job as a bookkeeper-receptionist.

They spend more than $19,000 a month on expenses, according to the petition, with more than $15,000 going to home own-

ership costs. Their net monthly income, including his wife’s after-tax income of $4,333, is minus $14,845.

She is not included as a debtor in the bankruptcy case.

Delledonne had been ordered to attend a contempt hearing on June 10 in Manhattan Supreme Court, for allegedly not responding to a subpoena for records in the landlord dispute. By petitioning for bankruptcy protection on June 9, the landlord lawsuit was stayed and efforts to collect the debt were stopped.

Delledonne is represented by White Plains attorney Michael H. Schwartz.

Landing at Dobbs Ferry sues village for $4M

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

E

ighteen months after a court ruled that The Landing at Dobbs Ferry may not block access to a beach on the Hudson River, the condominium is suing the village for doing the same thing.

The Landing is demanding $4 million from Dobbs Ferry, in a lawsuit originally filed in Westchester Supreme Court, moved to federal court and yesterday moved back to county court.

The village has deprived condominium residents of the “use and enjoyment” of their property, the lawsuit states, by locking a gate on a bridge that allows pedestrians to cross over the Metro-North Railroad tracks to the waterfront, where Native Americans had fished and hunted for 6,000 years.

The developer of The Landing — 103 homes in 36 townhouses between Mercy College and Wickers Creek — was required to honor a conservation easement and restrictive deed covenants that granted villagers the right to “view the property in its scenic and natural state.”

In 2014, The Landing installed a gate on the footbridge, and in 2015 a lock and key fob system were added, enabling only condominium residents to get on the bridge and over to the waterfront.

The village and Friends of Wickers Creek Archeological Site Inc. sued The

Landing for allegedly violating villagers’ rights of access the beach.

The Landing argued that the footbridge itself was not part of the easement and therefore the gate could be locked.

Westchester Supreme Court Justice Sam D. Walker ruled on the last day of 2019 that The Landing must keep the gate unlocked and allow villagers to use the footbridge during daylight hours. His decision has been appealed.

Eleven weeks later, on March 20, 2020, Dobbs Ferry police locked the gate, according to The Landing, as part of an emergency declaration by the village mayor in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Now The Landing is taking the position that it is the village that is violating the easement and unlawfully blocking waterfront access.

But the condominium is interested only in protecting access for its residents.

If the village had allowed continued use of the key fob system, residents of The Landing would not have been deprived of waterfront access, according to the complaint, but the lock “would have prevented non-unit owners from gaining access to the bridge and waterfront parcel.”

Mayor Vincent Rossillo did not respond to an email request for the village’s side of the story.

The Landing is represented by Manhattan attorney Jon Kolbrener.

Regeneron— cutting the required dose in half to 1,200 milligrams, because it works so well.

This is not the first time Regeneron has responded successfully to a virus crisis. It had with the use of its drug Inmazeb to treat the deadly Ebola virus. Inmazeb is a mixture of three monoclonal antibodies that were created using Regeneron’s technique of engineering the immune systems of mice to simulate the human immune system and generate human-like antibodies to fight invading diseases.

Inmazeb targets a glycoprotein on the surface of Ebola and blocks the virus from attaching to human cells, a necessary step for the virus to get inside and kill the human cells. Clinical trials, including use during Ebola outbreaks in Guinea in 2014 through 2016 and the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2018 and 2019, showed that the therapy worked, leading the FDA to designate the drug as a Breakthrough Therapy that would ultimately become the first FDA-approved treatment for Zaire Ebola virus in pediatric and adult patients.

The immediate thought echoing through the more than one million square feet of space at Regeneron’s main campus was if the principle works against Ebola, wouldn’t it also work against Covid-19?

“We did a bit of work on MERS (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, a coronavirus that was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012) so there was experience with coronavirus research,” Alina Baum, associate director for infectious diseases at Regeneron, tells the Business Journals.

“We started hearing these stories coming out of China — it was maybe late December — of just some kind of new respiratory virus. In the beginning of January, our government partners shared the sequence . . .of the spike protein.”

Spike proteins are on the surface of the Covid-19 virus and, like the proteins on the surface of Ebola, provide a mechanism for the virus to latch onto human cells and proceed to invade.

“Because we have this history of working on emerging infections with MERS, Ebola, Zika (a virus transmitted by mosquitoes) there was really no discussion of whether we should do this or not,” Baum says. “It was almost a no-brainer for us. There’s a new virus and we had the sequence, which is the key to begin the actual work. We were going to start working on it.”

Baum recalls that what happened from Jan. 13, 2020, when Regeneron got the genetic sequence, to the end of that month was that the urgency increased almost exponentially.

“It went from ‘we might as well work on this and get some antibodies’ to ‘oh my God, this is going to be a really big problem. It’s going to be a global problem. We need to move as fast as humanly possible to isolate antibodies and try to move into the clinical development,’” Baum recalls.

Courtesy Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. “We had the capability and we had this commitment to addressing emerging infections.”

Baum says people involved in infectious disease work at the company were pulled from other projects to concentrate on Covid-19. Sixteen-hour days, seven days a week became the norm in the first couple of months.

“This was a brand-new virus, which means there are no systems; there are no reagents (compounds that can cause a chemical reaction or are used for chemical analysis); there’s nothing that’s already there that you can use so everything has to be developed from scratch,” Baum says. “In order to get the antibodies eventually to move into the clinic, you have to be able to not only immunize the mice but you have to be able to get the right cells from the mice. We’ve done this many times before.

We know how to utilize our humanized mice and get the antibodies that we want from them and we know how to make antibodies that target a virus. We have a lot of virology experience. It was really a straightforward decision and a straightforward plan of how to do this because of all the experience that Regeneron has in other antiviral programs.”

But this was now a “rocket speed” program, Baum says: “All the different groups come together and this becomes the number-one priority.

What that allows you to do is to move very rapidly in a way that’s very coordinated and all the groups know exactly what their part of the job is and everything comes together in almost a seamless way. There is no confusion and there are not a ton of WCBJ

decisions that need to be made in terms of who is going to do what because it’s all laid out from our previous experience.”

And that previous experience told the Regeneron team that equally important would be protecting itself for the work ahead. As Elizabeth Green, Regeneron’s senior director for environment, health and safety, adds: “It was in early- to mid-January when I heard from a colleague that the N95 (protective mask) in all of China was sold out and they were just not available anymore. I thought about personal protective equipment for our staff and the different groups that needed N95s, for example. We got ahead of it as much as we could by identifying it early-on as a supply chain issue and identifying what we needed to protect our people in day-to-day operations.”

She said that before New York state had enacted the pause in business and people were switching to working from home, Regeneron started to establish protocols such as no international travel and parameters for when to self-quarantine. She said the company developed four guiding principles.

“The first was a matter of protecting the health and safety needs of our employees,” Green says. “The second was using data and science to guide our decisions.

The third one was schedule return to site that was in alignment with business needs.

The last one was regular communication, evaluation and feedback.”

Green says that the company’s scientists, physicians, attorneys, human resources personnel and all levels of management across the business were repre-

sented in the decision-making on how to adapt to the unfolding situation.

“Even though I might have been orchestrating a lot of the groups and the coordination of effort, it took so many people’s expertise to be as successful as we so far have been,” she adds. “To see the spirit of the organization was just outstanding.”

One of the phrases used within the company to express its philosophy is “be great together,” Green says: “It was extremely unprecedented and challenging. However, we instilled the confidence that everyone’s health and safety was paramount and that in itself helped with change management. We really did things to walk the walk and to prove it.

That enabled the confidence to adapt to the change. I and my team were heavily involved in bringing the different subject matter experts together...and identifying what do we anticipate could happen and then start planning and having different options and be able to be flexible and pivot as we needed to.”

Green says that by mid-March, only about 500 of the approximately 3,500 staffers were reporting for work at the Tarrytown campus, with numerous employees working off-site. The number was gradually increased to about 1,900, with safety protocols strictly observed.

Even with the concentration on Covid, Regeneron’s other activities continued, including more than 30 clinical trials.

When the first set of clinical data came in showing that Regeneron’s monoclonal antibody cocktail did, indeed knock down the viral load in treated individuals, the scientists became convinced they had something that was promising, Green says.

But they didn’t get overconfident. When the company and FDA authorized the use of the still-experimental cocktail to treat Trump, she adds, the scientists’ interest remained focused on clinical trial data rather than an anecdotal event.

“As scientists, all of us realize that an anecdotal experience from one individual is just that. It’s definitely interesting to people, but overall the data that’s coming from the actual controlled clinical trial is much more meaningful than something like that, because that’s what convinces us that we have a drug that’s actually doing something and helping people,” Baum adds. “I would say it was definitely a very interesting experience to have, but that wasn’t the moment that made us say, ‘oh wow, we have something that works.’”

She thinks it’s unlikely that Covid-19 will go away, even with higher herd immunity and an increase in vaccinations, adding that as a society we are very much underutilizing antiviral therapies such as Regeneron’s REGEN-COV for acute infections.

As Baum put it: “If we had 500 people dying of some kind of a cancer every day and we knew we had something we could give them to protect from that outcome, would we even think about that twice?”

SBA learning from mistakes as it takes on herculean tasks, says CT Director Catherine Marx

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

T

o date, the Connecticut department of the Small Business Administration has approved more than $27.7 billion in loans to businesses in the state to get through Covid-19 — and more is on the way.

“The challenge for us has been trying to get these programs and information out to small businesses and other entities so they can take advantage of them,” Catherine Marx, district director of the SBA’s Connecticut District Office, told the Business Journal. “It’s really been a collaborative effort at all levels to make sure people understand the nuances of these programs.”

Arguably the best known of those initiatives, the Paycheck Protection Program, has been particularly impactful. The PPP’s first round, which expired on Aug. 8, 2020, saw 64,629 loans approved in Connecticut for a total of $6.7 billion; the second round, which ended May 31, netted another 55,612 loan approvals totaling over $3.2 billion. Marx noted that while the program is now closed, some banks are still processing the loans.

PPP was also heavily criticized, especially in the early going last year, for being rolled out so quickly that banks and applicants alike were overwhelmed and confused by its seemingly ever-changing rules.

“There was a lot of learning for all of us as we went along,” Marx acknowledged, “and a lot of changes. But those changes were made to make the program better, more accessible, more nimble. And we needed to make sure we were doing what we could to prevent fraud and abuse.

“Never before had there been that type of national relief through a lending program,” she continued. “When people look back on it, in my opinion, there’s going to be more talk about its success.”

The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) was similarly hampered at the

start. Part of the $2.3 trillion Consolidated Appropriations Act, which was signed into federal law on Dec. 27, the $16 billion SVOG program launched on April 8 — and promptly shut down a day later when the SBA’s portal crashed. It finally reopened on April 26, but funds have been slow to arrive.

“It made the PPP process look like child’s play,” Dan Levine, artistic director of the nonprofit ACT (A Contemporary Theatre of Connecticut) in Ridgefield, told the Business Journal last month.

Testifying before the U.S. House Small Business Committee on May 26, SBA Administrator Isabel Guzman — who assumed office on March 17 — said: “The program had lots of controls for eligibility requirements. There were so many types of entities that were eligible with very unique requirements under each.

“While the program has been delayed,” she continued, “I feel confident that we’ll continue to start to roll out these funds as we have been doing this week. We appreciate the patience from the industry.

Obviously, they don’t have time to wait. Their rent is due and other expenses are critical for them.”

As of June 3 — the latest data available — the SBA said it had received 13,783 loan applications seeking $11.4 billion; it had approved 50 totaling $54.2 million. In Connecticut, three loans have been approved — including one for Bridgeport’s Downtown Cabaret Theatre — for over $615,000.

Unlike the PPP initiative, which was built off of the SBA’s 7(a) Loan Program, the SVOG “is a federal grant that was built from scratch,” Marx said. “The system did crash, but we did a very good job of communicating with stakeholders what was going on. In the end, the SVOG portal and the entire process are proving to be successful.”

The agency is also processing Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) on a larger scale than usual. As of June 3, 36,819 loans totaling nearly $2.3 billion have been approved in FCBJ

WCBJ

Catherine Marx Connecticut, along with the approval of 1,363 Targeted EIDL Advance loans (for businesses in low-income communities) totaling $11.4 billion and the approval of 776 Supplemental Targeted Advance loans (for small businesses and nonprofits that were most severely affected economically by the pandemic) totaling nearly $3.9 billion.

More aid for restaurants Meanwhile, the $28.6 billion Restaurant Revitalization Fund, which launched on April 27, received more than 300,000 applications representing $75 billion in requested funds during its first two weeks.

Although state-by-state data has yet to be released, Marx said that more than 63,000 food and beverage businesses owned by women, veterans and socially and economically disadvantaged business owners will be receiving over $15.5 billion over the coming weeks.

“That was another program that the SBA built from the ground up and it launched without any technical difficulties,” she said.

Even so, the program ran out of money on May 24; legislation was introduced in

Congress on June 10 to pass the Restaurant Revitalization Fund Replenishment Act of 2021, which would add another $60 billion.

Marx, who maintains an office in Hartford and a satellite operation in Bridgeport, joined the SBA on Sept. 28, as a new wave of Covid was rising. Her previous roles include serving in Gov. Jodi Rell’s administration, at the New York Regional Census Center, and as vice chairman of the Connecticut Republican State Central Committee.

“I haven’t stopped since I walked in this door,” she laughed. “I understood the mission, but we all learned so much about the SBA and what it can do” during the pandemic. “I’m grateful for being able to experience the positive execution of programs that can help people out.”

She also noted the boom in entrepreneurship that has taken place during the Covid era. According to CTData, the state netted 6,874 new businesses from March 2020, when the outbreak began, through April 2021.

“By necessity, many people decided the only thing they

could do was to hang a shingle and try to start something up,” she said. “The pandemic impacted employees in all kinds of different areas, especially women.”

In general, Marx said, women felt more responsible for taking care of children suddenly at home 24/7. Starting a business at home “might have been the only way for them to take care of all their responsibilities. For a lot of them it was a matter of turning what had been a hobby into a business.

“People really had a chance to think about their passions,” she continued. “Starting a small business always starts with a passion, having an idea and wanting to run with it.”

Marx also believes that “it’s easier than ever to access the information and resources you need to start your own business. We’ve all made a giant leap in our technology usage and I don’t see that going away.”

After all, she said, “Entrepreneurship is part of the American Dream. It’s what so many people want to do. And one of the positives of the pandemic has been so many people looking to start their own companies.”

Exclusive— paid €4.7 billion in cash to Sanofi to acquire its animal health division, Merial, which was valued at €11.4 billion. As part of the transaction, Sanofi acquired Boehringer’s consumer health care business Thomae, which was valued at €6.7 billion.

The world’s largest private pharma company, Boehringer worldwide reported a 3% rise in net sales in 2020 to about $23.2 billion, and a 22% increase in operating income to $5.6 billion.

The North American division posted a 1% increase in net sales last year, to about $10.8 billion.

Although there have doubtless been attempts at wooing the company away from Ridgefield, Boers insisted the company is there to stay.

“We’ve become very attached to this site,” he said. “The fact that we’re in the Northeast between Boston and New York makes Connecticut a good place to be when it comes to attracting talent.”

Ridgefield has about 1,900 employees, including R&D and back-office operations in addition to its executives. All together there are close to 9,000 employees throughout the country and over 50,000 worldwide.

The company’s products include the type 2 diabetes medication Jardiance, co-developed with Eli Lilly, whose worldwide revenue was up 22% last year to nearly $1.15 billion; and Ofev, a treatment for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, whose sales increased last year by 38% to $2.34 billion. Global sales of other familiar names like asthma and COPD treatment Spiriva fell by 13% to $2.17 billion, while Trajenta/Jentadueto declined by 3% to $1.83 billion.

As with most companies, Covid-19 came as a bolt from the blue for Boehringer; unlike most, it had to keep most of its R&D team in its on-site laboratories. Boers said the firm implemented full safety precautions, including social distancing. After all, he said, R&D isn’t just a major part of the company’s business — BI spent nearly $4.5 billion on R&D in 2020, 7% more than in the previous year — but due to the long development and FDA review processes, any disruption could further negatively impact the delivery of medicine.

And it is studying treatments for conditions affected by Covid. Although it announced in March that it was discontinuing the Phase 2 trial of a compound for reducing the risk or severity of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in patients hospitalized for the virus and requiring non-invasive oxygen support, Boers said another antibody treatment via inhalant is continuing to be tested.

Ultimately the company expects to have most everyone back on the Ridgefield campus over the next several weeks, Boers said.

While the work-from-home procedures went smoothly, “We benefit from face-to-face discussions, although we will see what the future looks like. Offering flexibility for our employees and future employees will play a part, and as a result we will probably be a

Jean-Michel Boers more agile organization.”

Boers also expressed admiration for the pharmaceutical sector at large. “The speed at which the industry was able to offer highly efficacious vaccinations is quite extraordinary,” he said. “It shows how important it is to invest in health care in the U.S.” Challenges ahead Nevertheless, he said, “We still need to look at the long-term effects of Covid.”

Another challenge for BI and the rest of the industry is — well, money. Keeping medicines affordable is an ongoing issue, Boers said, while spending millions on rebates and offering discounts to promote prescription drugs. Sanofi, Merck and Bristol-Myers Squibb have all recently reported downturns in average net prices, with Merck saying that

45.5% of its gross U.S. sales last year went to rebates, discounts and returns.

One part of BI’s business unlikely to be affected is its philanthropy. In addition to his other titles, Boers chairs the Boehringer Ingelheim Cares Foundation board of directors. The independent nonprofit BI Cares, which is dedicated to improving the health and lives of people and animals, recently committed up to $450,000 in employee-directed funds to strengthen communities and address unmet needs.

Boers explained that the company’s active U.S. employees are being encouraged to direct a one-time $50 donation (for the 50th anniversary) from BI Cares to one of the more than 40 eligible nonprofit causes in its matching gifts program. Five U.S. employees will each have an opportunity to direct an additional $5,000 BI Cares donation.

“There is a lot of volunteering in our company,” he noted, “which is probably because of our mission to providing first-in-class products and services to the health care industry and to our patients.”

Last year, the company donated about $71 million to its various nonprofit partners, Boers said, including Americares in Stamford, along with a number of food banks and animal shelters.

Mention “animals” in the same breath with “pharmaceuticals” and many people envision grisly images of testing on dogs,

FCBJ

monkeys and the like. While Boers acknowledged that BI does engage in such testing, he said that it “unfortunately is necessary” since new medications cannot be tested on humans before they have been done on animals.

“It helps us understand the toxicity of products,” he said. “But of course we work under the most recent highest standards with the authorities. We recognize we have a responsibility and the highest respect for animals.”

In 2019, BI confirmed that it would no longer use or fund the so-called “despair test,” which involved placing mice, rats and other small animals into inescapable beakers filled with water, thus forcing them to keep swimming. The putative reason for such tests was to study depression in animals and how certain medications could treat that condition.

Looking ahead, Boers said he agreed with a recent statement by Hubertus von Baumbach, the corporation’s chairman of the board of managing directors, who forecast continued momentum in 2021, predicting a slight year-over-year increase in net sales.

“We are pretty confident that we can make sure the U.S. has the access to quality medicines that our innovative approach makes possible,” he said.

It’s no mistake, he added, that Boehringer Ingelheim’s motto is “Value Through Innovation.”

THE AMERICAN STORY Mauro Adornetto, owner of Adornetto & Company LLC

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

T

he Business Journal is celebrating the positive impact that foreign-born business professionals have on the regional economy with this new recurring feature. The first subject in our spotlight is Mauro Adornetto, owner of the Katonah-based accounting, tax and advisory services company Adornetto & Company LLC.

When did you come to this country?

“It was June 8, 1986, when my father, my mom, myself and my sister decided to come to the U.S. I was 16 years old.

We came to visit my uncle who had been here for many years and was living in New Rochelle.

“At the time, my father had a well-established construction company in Sicily and he said to us, ‘We’ll go see your uncle.

And if you guys like it, you can stay.’ And I have been here for the last 35 years.”

Did you speak English when you first came over here?

“In Europe, you are required to take two foreign languages while you’re studying. I took French and I took English — my French was stronger than English, for some reason.”

How did you decide on your career path?

“When I was in Italy, I already chose a career to be an accountant. When I graduated from high school, I decided to go to Westchester Community College for an associate accounting degree to let me see how it was. I loved that and then I transferred to Iona College in New Rochelle, where I got a bachelor’s degree in public accounting in 1990.

“I had an opportunity to work for an Italian bank in the city called Banco de Sicilia. I was there for three and a half years as an assistant chief accountant, and it was great. I was offered a transfer to Rome, but I declined because my family was already moved here and I didn’t want to move back.

“After that, I decided to change my career, because the accounting that you do in a bank is different than you do with the public. But that wasn’t easy because nobody would hire me because I didn’t have the experience in public accounting.

I found a firm in Westchester that did engage me because I had banking experience and they were doing banking work, and I was with them for seven years.”

When did you decide to begin your own firm?

“When my mom passed away in 1998, I decided to leave the firm to support my dad in his construction business, but he advised me to do what I really love and continue in my career. I thought I would try to do this on my own, which wasn’t easy because I didn’t have enough clients at that time. But I took a chance to start my own business and since then I’ve been on my own.”

Who are your current clients?

“I have a very diverse menu of clients.

I have nonprofits, for-profits, sophisticated real estate companies, small pizzerias, construction companies. I have consulting, lawyers, doctors, so I have a little bit of everything. I am not certain about an exact number, but I have over 200. And I have four people working for me now — before Covid, I used to have seven.”

WCBJ

How did the Covid pandemic impact your business?

“Businesses were looking for us for support for applying for the PPP loans, so I was busy all the time. I had to restructure the way we were working, because we were not seeing clients in person and were working from home, but we never shut down.

“I have a lot of hair salons and gyms as clients, which suffered the most. And we were there assisting them to obtain phase one loans and phase two PPP loans, which helped them to stay in business. Payroll was one of the main key factors to comply with PPP loans, so it was very important for us to be there at that time when we were needed.”

Outside of work, how do you spend your time?

“For the past 14 years, I used to coach soccer. I have three beautiful girls and I used to coach them — we did a lot of

competitions. That was one of my favorite things because I was a soccer player when I was in Italy.

“As a hobby, I love to make wine — I always dreamed that one day I would own a vineyard of my own. I remember when I was little going with my father to pick and crush the grapes and all that stuff. So, I continue that tradition.

I like to do gardening and growing vegetables.”

Do you get back to Italy frequently?

“I’m planning to go next month. My father moved back and before Covid we used to go.

“I always say that America is a great country and I am who I am because of America. But for me, Italy is like having a mother to go back to the roots because that’s where it all started. Now, I have a chance to go because my father is 89 years old and I haven’t seen him since Covid struck.”

With credit card processing, there is no one-size-fits-all for businesses

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

P

aying for products and services by credit cards is convenient for consumers, but for companies and vendors the credit card merchant services process can bring more than a few headaches.

Scott H. Wagner, a certified payment professional who runs the Chappaqua-based consultancy Harlan Davis Inc. (formerly known as Go Direct Merchant Services), observed that some of these headaches can be self-induced by business owners who fail to prioritize this aspect of their operations.

“Don’t leave this to the last minute,” Wagner warned. “It seems like this happens a lot in my world — someone’s busy opening up their new restaurant, their new jewelry store, whatever, and they have one million and one things to do. And at the last minute, they make hasty decisions.”

Wagner said that a typical hasty decision is assuming the local bank is the right choice for a merchant services account.

“Banks serve a purpose and they’re important,” he continued. “Credit card processing is just not their core business — they farm it out to big processors. There’s only one

Scott H. Wagner bank in the entire country that does their own in-house credit card processing.”

The one exception bank to the rule, he added, was Chase, and Wagner was not enthusiastic about its services.

Rather than rely on the local bank, Wagner said, business owners should talk to different providers to determine the quality and depth of their operations.

“It’s important to know that the person that you’re doing business with has been in the industry for a while and that they have a track record and references they can point to,” he said.

“Another good thing to ask about is the technical support, because the worst thing that you want is to have the terminal go down or something go awry on a busy day — you

want to be able to know that you’re going to call somewhere and someone will pick up the phone in a reasonable amount of time, speak the language that you need them to speak and not put you on hold for 30 minutes.”

Wagner also advised business owners to ask questions on how the merchant services provider deals with data breach protection.

While much of the recent media attention has focused on hacking and ransomware attacks on major companies and government agencies, small and midsize companies are also hit by digital assault and often face greater difficulty resolving them.

“All of the card brands are going to want to know why, where and when,” he said. “And then on top of that, they’re going to want a forensic exam as to why, where and when.”

Even worse, he noted, the business will have to pay for the forensic exam, as well as fines to the card brands and could even be forced to cover the costs of issuing new cards if the breach results in consumer accounts being hijacked.

“Something like that could range anywhere between $20,00 to $80,000 depending on the severity,” Wagner said. “So, breach protection pays for all of that, God forbid it happens.”

Wagner recommended that business owners consider implementing a cash discount program, which implements a service fee to all customers who pay with a card while providing a discount to those who pay with cash.

“This type of program has been used to a large degree by gas stations,” he said, pointing out that the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 widened its availability to other industries.

“It’s now available to mom and pop on each corner. All of the different card brands have strict guidelines on how their cash discount program is to be implemented and it’s essential that the steps are followed, like correct signage must be posted at a minimum at the checkout and the amount of the service fee must be clearly displayed automatically on the receipt.”

Wagner advised several businesses on introducing a cash discount program, with profitable results — a dog groomer has been saving an average of $600 per month, a printer $700 and a pizzeria $5,000.

“That’s real money that can go into the business owner’s pocket, back into marketing or invested in a new piece of equipment,” Wagner said.

Westchester County’s foster care medical facility completes renovation

BY BRIDGET MCCUSKER bmccusker@westfairinc.com

T

he Westchester County Department of Social Services announced the completion of a major renovation to its Pediatric Medical Office, which serves children from birth to age 21 in the county’s foster care program, run by the DSS. It is housed within the agency’s central office at 112 E. Post Road in White Plains, just steps from White Plains Hospital. The facility began offering services about 30 years ago.

The office had seen some significant wear and tear that necessitated the updates and seized the opportunity to expand when space in an adjoining office became available.

The new space allowed for the creation of private meeting rooms for families and medical staff, separate offices for medical staff, a new nursing station apart from the examining space and new storage for medical records.

In an effort to make the office more welcoming to families and the children it serves, the remodel also included bright paint and the addition of children’s books and games.

“I am incredibly proud of the county employees at DSS and DPW&T, who worked

so hard on this renovation, which ultimately helps us to better serve Westchester County’s foster families,” County Executive George Latimer said. “This is one more wonderful way that Westchester County’s Department of Social Services takes care of its children in foster care, making us a cut above the rest.”

According to the DSS, Westchester is one of only two counties in the state that provides comprehensive medical services to children in foster care, the other being Monroe County.

According to the county, the health care center is important for the continuous care of children in the foster system, where they can keep their care teams despite moving locations or families within the county. It allows both children and families to be familiar with the staff and have a support system familiar with themselves and their needs in the health care setting.

“The Westchester County Department of Social Services is paving the way for departments across the state, as one of only two counties that have a pediatric medical office available for children in foster care,” DSS Commissioner Leonard Townes said.

“The children who come here for pediatric care are the county’s children, they are our

Pediatric Medical Office staff. Back row, from left to right: Susan Andrews, RN; Barbara-Jean Leonti, nurse supervisor; Mary-Margaret Allen, RN. Front row, from left to right: Dr. Doris Araujo, MD; Cindy Dimmie, administrative assistant; Medical Director Dr. Janet Stockheim, MD. responsibility. Thanks to the efforts of our Public Works Department, the remodeling of this space shows that we are committed to ensuring kids are well cared for and supported.”

The renovation was completed by the county’s Department of Public Works and Transportation, who worked during off hours so as not to disrupt medical service.

The center serves about 400 children

every year, with about 230 utilizing it as their primary care center at any given time.

It provides an array of in-person medical services, including preventative care, vision screenings, hearing screenings, sick visits, vaccines, blood work and limited rapid testing.

The facility’s staff includes two medical doctors and two administrative staff members who are employees of the Westchester Institute of Human Development and four nurses who are employees of the Department of Social Services.

Its staff is also a part of the general social services care network, working with families to access services available to them and working with the department’s caseworkers to ensure children are cared for. They can also be involved in the Family Court process when necessary.

“We are a full-service medical unit dedicated exclusively to supporting the children and families involved in the foster care system,” said Dr. Janet Stockheim, medical director of the pediatric unit.

“We’re their medical home. In the world of social services, we’re a rare gem, and now we’re polished. We’re so grateful to our Westchester County leadership.”

BUSINESS INTEL NEWS For more than 70 years, the Westchester County Association has been the leading independent voice of Westchester’s business community – fostering smart growth and economic vitality in the region.

WCA @ WORK: KEY INITIATIVES UPDATE WCA Survey Results Show Optimism for the Future of Westchester The WCA 2021 Business Survey on the state of Westchester’s economy was recently conducted at the direction of WCA’s Post Pandemic Working Group.

The survey requested responses to a brief list of questions addressing the following: (a) the most important issues for Westchester’s economic future; (b) in-person return to work and social activities; (c) general economic sentiment; and (d) the county’s economic resiliency. High taxes and employment issues remain the key macroeconomic concerns.

A strong majority believe Westchester’s economy will bounce back strong, but that it will take between one and three years to fully recover from the effects of the pandemic.

P RESI D E NT’S M ESSA G E —Michael N. Romita While the WCA’s primary focus areas are each important on their own, they share a strategic synergy. They are collectively designed to work together as force multipliers to benefit our regional businesses and other professional organizations. For example, we recently hosted an on-line roundtable addressing the intersection between healthcare innovation and next generation digital connectivity.

The future of healthcare, and its continued expansion throughout the mid-Hudson, rests in part on local access and statewide incentives for telemedicine.

We can solve for the technology by encouraging investment in broadband infrastructure and affordable internet service. However, we also need to address the contrived financial barriers erected by for-profit insurance companies which disincentivize more widespread adoption of telehealth.

Legislation co-sponsored by members of Westchester’s state delegation would amend New York’s Public Health Law to ensure that our doctors and hospitals are adequately reimbursed for telehealth services and patients are afforded appropriate telehealth-related consumer protections. The WCA advocates strongly for the passage of this legislation.

Even prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, published research illustrated the effectiveness of telemedicine, including using it for serious medical conditions. Its advantages include lower hospital admission rates, shorter stays, and fewer mortalities. Telemedicine improves healthcare access for the disabled, the elderly, and the geographically isolated.

It also encourages preventive care – particularly for people with financial

WCA PLATINUM INVESTORS

TELEHEALTH PARITY IS GOOD FOR PATIENTS AND DOCTORS AND IT SHOULD BE THE LAW hurdles to quality treatment or with chronic conditions that limit personal mobility. The pandemic has certainly further highlighted the efficacy and convenience of telehealth.

Expanded access and equal compensation for telemedicine are just two of the goals highlighted in the Governor’s 2021 State of the State and in the work of the Reimagine New York Commission. Telehealth is

being effectively utilized amongst hospitals and healthcare providers right here in the lower Hudson Valley. However, the lack of adequate payer reimbursement remains a significant barrier to more widespread deployment and availability.

The proposed legislation ensures equal insurance coverage for telehealth, codifies payment parity, and requires patient consent. By ensuring parity, doctors and hospitals will be incentivized to introduce and expand coverage. Furthermore, the proposed law prohibits “patient steering” (a common practice by insurers) by allowing patients to choose the covered provider of their choice and allowing patients to receive telehealth services without an initial in-person visit unless found to be clinically necessary. This is good policy, and it should be law. If so, our regional hospitals and doctors will be able to provide greater access to high-quality healthcare with lower overall costs and better patient outcomes.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER Tips for effective video surveillance

BY MICHAEL LEBLANC

D

o you know what’s going on at your organization when you are away? Is it clear how your valuable assets are being managed or if your employees are being productive? Might you have visitors to your property after hours causing mischief ?

As reported in US News & World Report, the University of North Carolina studied the motivations of incarcerated burglars. The survey, titled “Understanding Decisions to Burglarize from the Offenders Perspective,” was conducted by Joseph B. Kuhns of the Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology.

According to the study, most of the burglars were dissuaded by the presence of deterrents such as outdoor cameras, alarms and other surveillance equipment when choosing a potential home or business target.

Video surveillance systems have been around for decades. Companies, schools, nonprofits and government agencies have used cameras and recording servers to keep tabs on property and assets with great success. Today’s systems are significantly easier to use and installation is faster and cheaper than the old days. Here are some of the benefits from a properly installed video surveillance system: • Reduce theft, both internal and external.

• Minimize the likelihood of vandalism.

• Improve employee productivity and reduce waste.

• Minimize frivolous lawsuits.

• Enforce user permissions, allowing access only to certain cameras.

• Only record when there is motion detected, saving hard drive space.

• Deter undesirable behavior on your property.

I asked our staff to tell me some success stories our customers shared with us after we installed these systems. Here are a few of the incredible anecdotes they told me: • A shipping company had someone climb over a security gate and start a fire in an empty stairwell, but all was caught on camera.

• A plastics company discovered that an employee was pulling up to a side door where they had a time-clock, clocking in for the day and then driving away, only to return at quitting time to clock out.

• A car rental agency had fraud committed by someone pretending to be an old woman. “We were able to capture the

woman’s identity and the license plate of her friend’s car to nab the perpetrator.”

• One employee working in a secure area was stuffing valuables in his socks and underwear. This was quite a discovery, I’m sure you can imagine.

Today’s systems use network wires to hook up the cameras. These high resolution cameras (most with infrared night vision) get both their power and server connection from a simple Cat 6 computer network wire. The advantage to this is how easy and inexpensive it is to add cameras, versus bringing in electricians, as used to be required.

Here are a few things to remember when considering a video surveillance system for your organization.

• Be sure your camera system has a mobile app for you to view any/all cameras, and be notified of unexpected activity.

• Ensure you choose different resolutions (in megapixels), viewing angles and weather resistance (for outdoors) that you require for each unique place at your building.

• Buy the biggest set of hard drives (for long-term storage) you can afford and is offered, allowing you to go back weeks and even months to find an event.

• Ensure that outdoor camera wires are piped in metal conduit so that your wires don’t get cut.

• Consider adding your home or vacation house to your business system. Most systems will allow this, as long as the proper firewall settings are configured.

• Ask for a feature we call “Smart Search” to allow you to pick a small area of the video image to search for activity.

This could save hours of searching to find just the right event. One example is to see who parks in a certain parking spot or who entered a certain door in your facility.

In case you are wondering about “cloud” video surveillance to avoid buying the on-site Network Video Recorder, so far we would recommend against it, as prices for online storage are still much higher than having your own on-site server. However, be sure your server is in a safe place, unlikely to be compromised by an intruder.

We hope you get to enjoy improved security and peace of mind by installing a reliable and easy to use video surveillance system. Let us know if you need any help or have questions. We love to give free advice and share our technology passions with new friends.

A grindstone bears the dedication to Roscoe Smith, the man who had the “light bulb” moment to create a pre-Industrial Age experience for the public.

Pre-Industrial village stays relevant in modern times

BY KATHY ROBERTS

O

range County’s Museum Village of Old Smith’s Clove was built by a man with a passion to electrify the world.

Born in Monroe in 1877, Roscoe Smith dropped out of college to pursue his interests in Thomas Edison’s new invention and began his own company, Orange Utility, in 1905. By 1955, the company Smith founded merged with the Rockland Power Co. to become Orange & Rockland Utilities. (Today, O&R is a subsidiary of Con Edison.)

Smith used the fortune he made to shine a light on the region’s history. An avid American history buff and collector, he bought 28 acres of land on what is now Route 17M and began assembling a mid-19th century village where children and their parents could learn about life before the Industrial Age. After buying and relocating several 19th-century buildings, including one 17th century log cabin that was moved to the site from Dutchess County, Museum Village officially opened in 1950. It has survived and struggled to thrive in its quest to educate and enlighten generations of schoolchildren, teachers and parents.

Since 2011, Executive Director Michael Sosler has worked to keep the museum in the public’s eye, adding new features and functions to exhibits that will keep patrons coming back.

“The village went through difficult times in the 2000s, but with lots of loving care, many people came and volunteered to

open buildings and update exhibits. We’ve added many new events and continued to market the village and make it attractive to school groups and visitors.

“By 2019, we had a record number of schools coming here…and then the pandemic hit.”

As with all museums and small businesses, Sosler described the many months of closure as brutal.

“We were fortunate to have people who wanted to help financially and who donated their time and services. We did qualify for a small PPP loan, but we pinched pennies and still are.”

Sosler and his small but energetic staff have been creative in finding ways to keep Museum Village relevant and attractive to guests that will keep the destination on

“We are especially hoping to see the return of school trips,” Sosler said. “We had a record year in 2019 and are actively working to attract them once school reopens in September. They have been an important source of revenue for us.

“Once Legoland is up and running full speed, we are hoping that those visitors will also look for other venues to entertain their families in this area, and we have always been a family-friendly destination.”

The Gem & Mineral show returned recently to the museum and attracted over 750 shoppers and guests despite the oppressive heat. It was a rock hound’s delight and vendors were thrilled to be back on the arts and crafts circuit once more.

“Doing business on the internet works, but being out, meeting people and having face-to-face interaction can’t be beat,” said Sydney Edwards, owner of Crystals of Quartz in Greenwood Lake.

With $12.5M infusion, Dutchess Stadium pumped up for its new baseball season

F

ans are anxious to get back to watching America’s favorite pastime in person and Dutchess Stadium isn’t going to disappoint. Now that statewide coronavirus restrictions have been knocked out of the ballpark, fans will also see a new addition to their favorite team’s uniforms: pinstripes.

On June 14, the Dutchess County Legislature’s “yea” vote to sign a 25-year agreement with The Renegades and to move forward with proposed upgrades to the stadium assured the franchise owners that the Class-A Minor League team will remain at Dutchess Stadium through 2046. The Renegades are part of Goldklang Group’s holdings; Marvin Goldklang, the company’s principal, is a minority owner of the New York Yankees.

The team has called the Route 9D ballpark home since it was first opened in 1994. Originally owned by Hudson Valley Stadium Corp., Dutchess County bought

it in 1995. The Hudson Valley Renegades had been a Class A short-season affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays for several years until it agreed in 2020 to become the new Class A farm team for the New York Yankees, which also extended the playing season to 140 games — 66 at home — from April through September.

The team’s new status is expected to bring even more visitors and revenue to the 27-year-old ballpark as the players go to bat against other MLB-affiliated challengers.

It’s not just baseball that attracts people to “The Dutch” — concerts and special events that run the gamut, from Bob Dylan to Christmas in July, have kept them coming back for more. It is considered the jewel of Dutchess County’s Park system and has been the beneficiary of several upgrades since 2018, including new seating in the 4,500-seat ballpark; paving work done to its 1,000space parking lot; and the installation of LED lighting.

On June 14, the Dutchess County Legislature approved the 25-year lease agreement with the team and $12.5 million in improvements to The Renegades’ home ballpark. Upgrades are to include new umpire locker rooms, pitching/batting areas, a visitor’s clubhouse, a family meeting room and new signs along Interstate 84. The bump in amenities for both fans and players will also bring the stadium up to Minor League Baseball stadium standards.

The county legislature recently negotiated a settlement to buy the land under the stadium from the Beacon School District for $627,000. Voters approved the $627,000 sale of the 33 acres in May. Funding for the purchase will come from the $57 million the county received through the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan.

A portion of that funding is slated to be dedicated to the “Dutchess County Invests” initiative, announced on June 2.

The county expects to use $17 million of the one-time federal funding to upgrade the county’s parks, which includes the improvements to the stadium.

“Dutchess Stadium remains an economic engine for our county, employing our neighbors, attracting thousands of visitors from throughout the region and adding revenue, which offsets taxes for county residents and businesses,” County Executive Marc Molinaro said prior to the legislators’ approval.

The Renegades returned to the stadium for their first home game on June 15 with a 6-5 win over the Jersey Shore BlueClaws.

HUDSON VALLEY 264 Rooms, Riv Vu

Stony Point project still faces hurdles

BY KATHY ROBERTS

W

ith real estate prices climbing upward in the Hudson Valley, Eagle Bay — a 264 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment complex planned for the town of Stony Point’s waterfront — will not languish long on the marketplace.

The path to winning final approval has been tedious and the stakes are high both for developer Eli Hershkowitz and the town.

Rockland’s northernmost municipality is home to the Stony Point Battlefield State Historic Site and State Park, which overlooks the cove where the residential units are planned. Both the park and historic site are under the auspices of the Palisades Interstate Park Commission.

The property’s original owner, Wayne Corts, initiated plans to build a 200-unit project called The Breakers where the marina now stands. Corts eventually sold his property to Hershkowitz in 2017 for $6.7 million.

After several years of appearing before the Stony Point Planning Board, Eagle Bay received its Final Environmental Impact Statement in 2020. The project’s number of units and 725-plus parking spaces for condo residents has caused significant pushback from residents who live near the parcel since Corts first proposed his own smaller-scale development plan in 2014 and raised multiple questions from governing federal and state agencies.

Most of the parcel’s 39 acres are underwater, leaving 17 buildable acres on shore.

Because Stony Point’s town law permitted underwater land to be counted, it originally allowed for 290 buildable units; that was pared back to 264 to be constructed in four separate buildings, with nearly all units offering a full or partial view of the water.

Eagle Bay’s builder is proposing a separate commercial complex for the property, suitable for a restaurant or small businesses, as well as a public fishing pier that would extend 200 feet into the Hudson River and a promenade along the riverfront that would be open to the public, to be maintained in perpetuity by the development’s owner.

Eagle Bay’s plans also call for 100 boat slips on site.

During recent public hearings, Stony Point’s planners have heard from a number of public agencies, including Army Corps of Engineers, New York State Department of Conservation, state Historic Preservation Office, Palisades Interstate Park Commission (which has authority over the historic battlefield site), as well as environmentalists from Scenic Hudson and SPACE (Stony Point Action Committee for the

Rendering of Eagle Bay. Environment). All concerned have a vested interest in the project being built right. The Rockland County Planning Department has also given Stony Point’s planning board its opinions and recommendations for the property.

One significant issue vexing Eagle Bay’s final approval is its proximity to the CSX railroad tracks, which carries hundreds of carloads of Bakken crude oil and natural gas along the west side of the Hudson and is in close proximity to the waterfront project.

That also concerns local residents, who fear an accident would jeopardize them as well as their new neighbors, since the two main roads leading in and out of the former marina are not conducive to an emergency. The builder has done a traffic study and is prepared to install two traffic lights to help mitigate any issues, but many are concerned that another weather event such as Superstorm Sandy — which ravaged Stony Point’s coastline in 2012 — could occur again.

Eagle Bay’s residential units are to be built a minimum of 9 feet above the flood plain since that devastating hurricane hit, but environmentalists weighing in question if turning the waterfront into upscale housing is the appropriate answer for the site, considering its size and location in relation to the battlefield.

At the May 27 meeting between the town’s planning board and Amy Mele, the

That will make it difficult to allow anyone to fish from it and allow walkers to enjoy it at the same time, seemingly defeating its intended purpose.

In addition, CSX has not given any approval for the alterations the planning FCBJ

board said is necessary to make the site accessible to fire trucks. Hershkowitz’s engineer, David Zigler of Atzl, Nash & Zigler, told planners CSX will not consider issuing a permit to do remediation work at its Hunter Place overpass until Eagle Bay receives final site plan approval.

The Stony Point Planning Board will continue the public hearing on June 27 beginning at 7 p.m.

HUDSON VALLEY Startup Spotlight:

Newburgh entrepreneur turns disability into business opportunity

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

nspiration for a new business can be found in an endless number of sources. For Derrek Cooke of Newburgh, inspiration came from his personal experiences.

“I was born with a birth defect called spina bifida and I carry a bag with catheters around when I go out in public,” Cooke said.

“And I thought to myself, ‘Well, there are other people with spina bifida who do the same, and there’s other people who weren’t born with spina bifida but who also need to carry catheters.’”

Cooke is co-founder and co-owner of Soldiers and Commanders, an e-commerce business that sells apparel, mugs, posters and bags featuring designs celebrating the U.S. military. For a new business line on catheter bags, he felt that a different visual approach was needed.

“I thought there’s not enough positivity in the world,” he continued, “so, why not put positive messages on them?”

In March, Cooke launched DerreksBags on the Etsy e-commerce platform. Working with Photoshop, Cooke tests designs to determine if they convey the right style and message. After creating a mock-up of a bag design, he posts the item on his Etsy store.

Cooke is starting with 20 bags, some featuring slogans, including “Don’t Let Someone Make You Feel Less Than You’re Worth!” and “Be Nice Or Go Away.” He borrowed a couple of iconic images from the

Derrek Cooke and two of the DerreksBags designs.

Soldiers and Commanders line to create inspiration: A serious Uncle Sam pointing at the viewer includes the slogan “Believe in Yourself” while a bicep-flexing Rosie the Riveter has a dialogue balloon that says “You Can Do It Spina Bifida Warrior.”

Cooke has two different bags, one that can carry a 33-pound weight limit and the other with a 44-pound weight limit. He is considering an expansion with a smaller eco-tote bag for those who would not need a larger carry-on.

Cooke is promoting DerreksBags via paid advertising on Etsy and through new Facebook and Instagram pages promoting the business. However, while his Soldiers and Commanders business has been going strong after seven years in operation,

DerreksBags has been off to a very slow start in its first four months.

“So far, I sold just one bag to a lady up in Ontario, Canada,” he said. “It is a bag that says ‘Think Positive’ that has a head silhouette with a brain inside the head.

She left a five-star review on my Etsy store page and also sent me a direct message on Instagram the other day thanking me — she said she and her boyfriend are going to travel throughout Canada this summer and use it as a beach bag. Of course, they can be used for anything besides bringing catheters along.”

Cooke is focusing on tweaking his sales and marketing outreach, working with search engine optimization on the Etsy site while planning to set up both a

The 12-foot-wide path is evenly divided for those on foot and those on wheels; and yes, electric bikes are permitted as long as they keep to the 15 mph speed limit. Six belvederes allow for unobstructed viewing of the river.

The path ends in the village of South Nyack, where parking and restrooms are available.

standalone site and an eBay store. As sales begin to come in, he is pledging to donate 10% of his proceeds to the Spina Bifida Association.

Besides his two e-commerce endeavors, Cooke has a third pursuit with a freelance typing and transcription service, which takes up a great deal of his time — often with funky assignments.

“There was this teacher who contacted me because she wanted me to type out Shakespeare’s play ‘Othello’ for her students,” he said. “And there was a medical student who wanted me to type out like 10 test answers for him so he could study.

So, I’m doing that as well as trying to focus more on both businesses.”

Inside the effort to rebuild New York state’s postpandemic tourism industry

BY BRIDGET MCCUSKER bmccusker@westfairinc.com

A

s tourism industries around the country and world are hoping to leave behind the pandemic-induced downturn of the past year, the state of New York is hoping that it can keep traveling residents in the state, with the help of the new “Roam the Empire” campaign.

The initiative is an effort to let residents and businesses realize the benefits of keeping tourism dollars in the state economy.

The end of 2020 marked a huge loss for the industry, in the form of 330,000 jobs gone and an estimated 56% loss in travel spending at New York state businesses.

This drop in spending was also reflected in a corresponding 45% decline in state and local tax revenues, according to the New York State Tourism Industry Association.

Spearheaded by the association, the campaign was developed pro bono by Mower, a marketing, advertising and public relations firm that was founded in Syracuse over 50 years ago and has offices in Rochester, Buffalo, Albany and New York City, as well as nationwide. One of the agency’s specialties is travel and tourism; it represents the Westchester County

Office of Tourism and Film.

Mary Gendron, senior vice president and managing director at Mower, was one of the leaders in developing the campaign.

In February 2020, Natasha Caputo, director for Westchester County Office of Tourism & Film and part of the campaign committee, approached Gendron to ask if Mower would be interested in working with the state association for a marketing project. Mower was then able to compete with another agency to be the ones to usher in the campaign.

“We came up with, among other concepts, Roam the Empire, as in roam the Empire State, and the committee loved it,” Gendron said. “We ended up getting to work developing a business-to-business campaign because our initial goal here was to give tourism organizations and attractions tools that they could use in conjunction with anything else they might be doing in terms of their own marketing efforts.”

Gendron explained that the rationale behind the campaign was twofold. “(The goal was) to create a campaign that would encourage New York state residents to vacation within the state in 2020, for two reasons,” she said. “One

is just to be able to emphasize all of the wonderful things that you can see and do within the state. There’s just such a range of things to do and things that you might travel outside of the state to do, but don’t have to. The other would be to really help the tourism industry recover, because it was so hard-hit by the pandemic.”

Many businesses and industry organizations threw their support behind the campaign and in turn benefited from it.

“What was intriguing to me was the idea that all of these destinations and tourism attractions within the state — which typically have their own strategy, their own marketing budgets and are competitive with one another — had decided there would be strength in numbers and it would be better this year for everyone to just come together and contribute to a joint cause,” Gendron said.

“Marketing efforts create a rallying cry around the idea of encouraging residents to vacation within the state. So that was really the spirit behind it.”

On the day it was launched, 50 different entities and state tourism association members signed up to participate. That number has grown to more than 80, and Gendron expressed optimism that it would continue to grow.

FCBJ

The program includes free toolkits and marketing assets for participants, for digital and print marketing, along with logos, digital apps and Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages that promote state attractions.

Regional destinations are also encouraged to do as much outreach as possible to promote the campaign.

Some media organizations around the state have also been offering promotions of the campaign for free. The New York State Press Service ran a pro bono ad in almost 300 newspapers. Advanced Media, Gendron said, is providing a $15,000 print and digital promotional grant over the course of the summer, which is expected to yield over 2 million digital impressions. Hearst Newspapers also gave the state association a $10,000 grant to run an ad within its network.

It may be hard to tell exactly how many dollars going into the industry will be a direct result of the Roam the Empire campaign. Aside from the engagement of all the participating entities — the full list of which is available at the state tourism association website — Gendron said that they will be able to measure engagement and campaign success in terms of digital, media and social media analytics.

Westchester air traffic climbing along with U.S. domestic traffic

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

F

light activity at Westchester County Airport is following the same climbing path that is becoming apparent for the entire domestic aviation industry. In addition to growing numbers of operations, fights to more destinations are being offered.

United Airlines has resumed a daily flight each way between Westchester and Chicago O’Hare International Airport and may be adding more flights between the two. In addition to promoting its service to O’Hare, which had been the world’s busiest airport until it was knocked out of the top slot and into second place last year by Atlanta HartsfieldJackson International, United has been promoting service from Westchester, through O’Hare, to destinations such as San Francisco and Denver.

Wheels Up, a company that typically offers on-demand flights, is offering “pay by the seat” shuttle service between Westchester and Nantucket for the summer season. It has started offering daily round trip flights between Westchester and Nantucket Memorial Airport through Labor Day weekend. The route will be flown using King Air

350i twin-turboprop aircraft.

Data obtained by the Business Journal reveal that the total airport operations, takeoffs and landings, at Westchester rose in May to 12,245, up from the 10,045 that had been reported as the recovery was accelerating in April. The May number represents a dramatic increase from the 6,655 operations reported for February. Those numbers compare with a peak before the pandemic in July of 2019 of just over 16,000 operations. So far for the year, there have been 47,439 operations at the Westchester County Airport.

Most of the traffic at Westchester was corporate and light general aviation aircraft, both of which have essentially recovered from the pandemic and were back operating at close to 2019 levels.

Nationally, the government’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reported that on June 11 it screened 2,028,961 people at the nation’s airports, representing 74% of the travel volume on the same day in pre-pandemic 2019. It was an increase of 1.5 million from the number of passengers screened on June 11, 2020.

Before the pandemic hit, TSA was screening on average from 2 million to 2.5 million travelers each day. The lowest screening vol-

of $7.0 billion. The first-quarter pre-tax operating loss of $12.7 billion was increased from the fourth-quarter loss of $9.7 billion.

U.S. airlines carried 41.2 million systemwide scheduled service passengers in March of this year according to BTS, up 29.6% from February. BTS reported 37.8 million of them were domestic passengers and 3.4 million international passengers.

The industry trade group Wheels Up is offering “pay by the seat” shuttle service between Airlines for America reportWestchester and Nantucket for the summer season. ed that as of early June, the ume was recorded on April 13, 2020, when number of domestic flights was down 22% just 87,534 passengers were cleared to fly on from pre-pandemic levels and the number the limited number of flights that were being of international flights was down 39%.

Good Things PARTNERSHIP AIMS TO REACH MILLIONS TO IMPROVE WATER AND SANITATION Xylem Watermark, the corporate social responsibility program of global water technology company Xylem Inc. in Rye Brook and health-focused relief and development organization Americares in Stamford aim to reach 1 million people in 2021 through their collaboration to improve access to clean water and sanitation. The program builds on the first year of the partnership, which delivered clean water and sanitation services to over 3.5 million people, helping to slow the spread of Covid-19.

In 2021, the partners will provide water, sanitation and hygiene infrastructure repairs and education to frontline health care workers and communities across six countries, including India and Bangladesh, currently experiencing Covid-19 spikes. The partners will also provide assistance to disaster-prone coastal communities in Bangladesh, including those still recovering from Cyclone Amphan.

ARTSWESTCHESTER AND CONGRESSMAN TO DISCUSS FEDERAL ART GRANT On Monday, June 14, ArtsWestchester, the White Plains Housing Authority and Rep. Mondaire Jones discussed a new $50,000 federal grant to bring art to public housing.

The grant would enable ArtsWestchester to work with public housing developers to create a plan for artwork and cultural facilities to benefit residents.

Congressman Jones, who was raised in Section 8 housing, discussed how the presence of public art and arts programming can transform an ordinary space into a community with vitality and identity.

ArtsWestchester CEO Janet Langsam and Executive Director, White Plains Housing Authority Mack Carter represented their organizations during the discussion.

FOOD INSECURITY, STILL A STRUGGLE Neighbor to Neighbor in Greenwich continues to witness high numbers of people in town who are food insecure and depend on the nonprofit for weekly food assistance. Two local organizations came to the rescue Lori Jackson and Jaye Richey, leaders of the Faith in Action Committee at St. Paul’s Church in Riverside, noted the dramatic increase in food insecurity as thousands lost their jobs. “We knew we had to quickly organize a substantial food drive to supplement Neighbor to Neighbor’s inventory,” Jackson said. “We put the word out and mobilized a weekly food drive at St. Paul’s every Thursday morning.”

Recognizing St. Paul’s plea for help, the Social Justice Committee of the Parish of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Agnes, chaired by Betsy Parker, also launched a weekly contactless food drive in Riverside on Tuesday mornings. The committee continues to collect shelf-stable foods and personal-care products for Neighbor to Neighbor every Tuesday morning.

“The need still exists and we are going to continue on,” said Pam Sloane, social justice committee member and lead communicator of the Tuesday food drive.

Both churches have seen extraordinary acts of generosity from the community.

The town of Greenwich, Waste Free Greenwich and the Greenwich Recycling Advisory Board (GRAB) have wrapped up the first anniversary of the municipal food scrap recycling program, which was launched with the support of town leadership, dedicated volunteers and the enthusiastic response from the community. Residents contribute approximately three-quarters of a ton of food scraps each week diverting tons from the waste stream.

“In our never-ending drive to make Greenwich a waste-free community, the one-year anniversary of our food scraps program is both a celebration of progress and a reminder that our work continues. I salute Waste Free Greenwich and all our other environmental advocates for a very successful 12 months and look forward to even bigger and better things in the near future,” said First Selectman Fred Camillo.

The food scrap recycling program is voluntary and free to all Greenwich households. Residents collect food scraps at home in accordance with the program guidelines and can bring them to the drop-off shed next to the trash building at Holly Hill Resource Recovery Facility during hours of operation. An additional collection point is now available at the Old Greenwich Farmer’s Market during designated hours on Wednesday afternoons only. The material is carted to a commercial facility to be processed into nutrient-rich compost, which Waste Free Greenwich distributed to residents during its compost giveback day in March.

Good Things SOUND BEACH REPORT, GOOD NEWS FOR SWIMMERS The nonprofit organization Save the Sound, with offices in Mamaroneck and New Haven recently released results of its 2021 Long Island Sound Beach Report at events held at Orchard Beach in New York and Woodmont Beach in Connecticut.

The report offered good news for swimmers, noting that 79% of the more than 200 Long Island Sound beaches highlighted earned “A” or “B” grades for water quality in the 2020 swimming season. As inspiration to swimmers and beachgoers, the biennial report provided a list of the “Top 20” public beaches on Long Island Sound based on water quality (10 each in New York and Connecticut).

However, the report did note a decline in water quality at many beaches in the days following rain events.

Tracy Brown, regional director of water protection for Save the Sound, said, “…The report demonstrates that there are challenges still to be overcome involving wet-weather-related pollution at specific beaches, the quality of sewer or septic infrastructure in some beach communities, as well as issues of restricted beach access for the general public.”

Save the Sound created a dedicated website — SoundHealthExplorer. org — featuring interactive maps listing beach water quality and from which the full Beach Report can be downloaded.

Game Time Connection at Parsonage Cottage Members of the Torch Club from the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich (BGCG) visited Parsonage Cottage Senior Residence recently to deliver life-size Connect Four games for the residents to enjoy.

“We are so appreciative of this thoughtful donation from the Torch Club. Our residents will definitely enjoy playing these games, which will help to enhance their socialization, memory and cognitive skills,” said Penny Lore, executive director, Parsonage Cottage.

Torch Club is a chartered smallgroup leadership and service club for boys and girls ages 11-13 and a “club within the Club,” helping to meet the special character-development needs of younger adolescents at a critical stage in their life. Their focus is to work together to implement projects in the four focus areas: service to Club and community, education, health and fitness and social recreation.

Parsonage Cottage Senior Residence is an affordable home for Greenwich older adults to age in place, near friends and family while remaining in the town they call home.

The Youth Shelter Program of Westchester (YSOW) will be the lead agency in a new partnership with the 9th Judicial District and Mount Vernon City Court’s Emerging Adult Justice Part, an initiative created to provide meaningful opportunities for resolving criminal cases by pursuing alternatives to conventional prosecution, sentencing and incarceration for young people between the ages of 18-25.

Headed by Executive Director Joanne Dunn, YSOW will provide the coordination of services and case management for all involved within this critical project. The objective will be connecting young adults with services, resources and opportunities through a collaborative effort involving public and private stakeholders to place emerging adults on the path of success and self-autonomy in becoming productive members of society.

Dunn said, “What we know here at the shelter is that young people are far better than the worst thing that they’ve done. We focus on their dreams, their aspirations and their ambitions…to become successful members of their communities. And after 40 years of successfully providing meaningful opportunities for young people to turn their life around, I am grateful to the city of Mount Vernon to allow us to take the lead here,” she said.

ROBISON RECEIVES EXCELLENCE AWARD Robison in Port Chester has been awarded the Dave Lennox Years of Partnership Award by Lennox Industries. The award celebrates Robison Oil’s 100 years serving its community and employees while representing the Lennox brand.

“The Dave Lennox Years of Partnership Award is how we honor and thank our most valuable long-time dealers,” said Douglas L.

NEW PORTFOLIO MANAGER AT ASSET MANAGEMENT FIRM Claire M. Noel, CFA, has joined Stamford-based O’Shaughnessy Asset Management LLC (OSAM), a quantitative asset management firm, as portfolio manager.

In this newly created role, she will be responsible for conducting quantitative research, devising investment strategy, incorporating environmental, social and governmental considerations and overseeing portfolio rebalancing.

Chris Meredith, CFA, co-chief investment officer at OSAM, to whom Noel will report said, “We’re pleased to welcome a professional of Claire’s caliber who pos-

sesses such deep experience in quantitative analysis and programming. We’re actively expanding investment strategies available to clients on the firm’s custom indexing platform, Canvas….”

Noel was most recently a partner at AJO Partners, an institutional investment manager based in Philadelphia. Prior to that, she was at Turner Investments, an investment advisory firm. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in engineering sciences from Dartmouth College and a Master of Science degree from the University of Pennsylvania.

Carlene Gentilesco, a tireless, steady force who served as chief liaison to hundreds of corporations and nonprofit organizations and helped to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for community organizations, is retiring after 49 years with United Way. A Chappaqua resident, Gentilesco served in a variety of leadership roles under five different CEOs at United Way of Westchester and Putnam in White Plains.

Her retirement is effective at the end of this month.

“Always the first to arrive at 7 a.m. and usually the last to leave, Carlene’s steady commitment is ever-present and easily relied upon. She is meticulous, focused, goal-oriented and has an amazing gift for retaining facts – all of which make her an ideal member of anyone’s leadership team. No wonder five different CEOs have relied upon her during her 49-year tenure at the United Way,’’ said Tom Gabriel, president and CEO of the United Way of Westchester and Putnam.

Since 2008, Gentilesco has served as

Carlene Gentilesco

the chief operating officer at the United Way. Previously, from 1997 she served in a variety of roles to support fundraising efforts at the workplace and in the local community. “…Given the population of our two-county service area and the span of

years under consideration, it is quite safe to say that Carlene’s work has impacted more than a million of our neighbors struggling through poverty, crisis or tragedy,’’ said Bud Hammer, general manager of Atlantic Westchester Inc. and United Way board chair.

STILL FREE; CAUSE TO CELEBRATE Staff from the White Plains Hospital Center for Cancer Care came out to celebrate National Cancer Survivors Day on Sunday, June 6 with a “driveby” event at the hospital’s Medical and Wellness facility in Armonk.

Good Things LMMM CIVIL WAR STORIES Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum in Norwalk is hosting curator and scholar Lynne Zacek Bassett who will give a virtual talk titled “Textiles of the Homefront: Civil War Stories” July 11 at 2 p.m.

“Looking at the Civil War through textiles allows us to understand the experience of the war in deeper terms than just through the usual analysis of battle strategy and heralding of military heroes,” Bassett said. “Quilts in particular, with their implicit and explicit messages, allow us to examine the experiences of civilians — especially women on the home front.”

This lecture will discuss quilts from both the North and the South and how they represent the

emotions and actions involved in sending loved ones to battle.

An independent scholar specializing in New England’s historic costume and textiles, Bassett was the curator of textiles and fine arts at Old Sturbridge Village in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.

Since going independent, she has undertaken a number of large projects and has been awarded several times for her contributions to the field of historic costume and textiles.

For reservations and additional information, visit lockwoodmathewsmansion.com or call 203838-9799, ext. 4.

Admission for members is complimentary and $5 for nonmembers.

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT THROUGH ART ConnectiveCollective, a collaboration between the Neuberger Museum of Art and the Purchase College Center for Engagement in Purchase was an idea developed during the pandemic that would inspire students at Purchase College, SUNY to raise their voices and take positive action on the issues that affected, inspired or troubled them most.

Together, the campus and artists focused upon issues of political disenfranchisement, judicial equity, racism, debt and food scarcity, exploring the various ways art can shape the world we live in through critical imagination and civic

participation.

In an interactive exhibition on view now through June 27 at the Neuberger Museum of Art, works from ConnectiveCollective’s first phases can be viewed.

“ConnectiveCollective is a call to action,” said Neuberger Museum of Art Director Tracy Fitzpatrick. “As a teaching museum, this project is an important step in our efforts to reexamine the ways in which community, artists and museums interact.”

The museum is currently open every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 5 p.m. For more, visit neuberger.org/#visit.

NYPA, RESEARCH INSTITUTE AWARDED STUDY FUNDS The New York Power Authority (NYPA) is launching a project with the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to explore the use of crushed rock thermal energy storage to provide reliable and effective energy storage in a market with significant renewable energy resources. The technology holds potential to help transition New York state from fossil fuels to at least 70% renewable electricity by 2030.

The project, led by EPRI and funded by a $200,000 U.S. Department of Energy grant, will investigate the feasibility of a thermal energy storage (TES) technology developed by Brenmiller Energy. Another $50,000 will be funded by the project participants. If determined to be feasible, the investigation team will pilot the technology and evaluate its ability to provide effective and

economical energy storage at NYPA’s Eugene W. Zeltmann Power Project in Astoria.

“Integrating energy storage is key if we want to make the most of the increasing use of renewable energy resources such as solar and wind,” said Alan Ettlinger, NYPA’s senior director of research, technology development and innovation.

Brenmiller, an Israeli developer and manufacturer of thermal energy storage systems, has patented a high-temperature crushed-rock TES system, which is being tested in three generations of demonstration units at separate sites globally.

As with other energy storage technologies, the system stores excess energy, in this case thermal energy, so it can be used later during peak demand periods.
