Westhab, the nonprofit that was founded in 1981 to address the shortage of affordable housing in Westchester County, is proposing to build a 13-story mixed-use workforce apartment building with 220 apartments on a number of lots at 590-614 S. Broadway in Yonkers. The developer named in the application paperwork submitted to the city is MYBroadway Developers LLC.
Vicki Tesoro has lived in Trumbull for more than 30 years, held elected office in the town since 2011 and served as first selectman for six years. On June 21 at Tashua Knolls Golf Course, she made her latest State of the Town speech to members of the Trumbull Chamber of Commerce and Bridgeport Regional Business Council by noting that her daughters are grown and have left home to start their careers.
“One, I’m very happy to say, has purchased a home in Trumbull and is staying close,” she said.
“Trumbull is a vibrant community and I’m honored and humbled to be the first selectman of this great town,” Tesoro continued before acknowledging representatives of the city’s first responders and the many members of the municipal government and Chamber of Commerce who she credited with making her job possible. State Sen. Marilyn Moore and U.S. Rep. Jim Himes were also recognized for securing $1.5 million in state funding for a new veterans’ center and $750,000 in federal funding for town projects respectively.
“I want to thank our businesses for your investment and your confidence in Trumbull,” Tesoro stated. “I thank you for the jobs you create, for the goods and services
you provide and for all you give back to the community.”
Tesoro recalled the vision for the town she laid out in pre-pandemic 2019, saying that “Trumbull is the place to be. If you’re a young family looking for a place to settle and raise your family, Trumbull is the place to be. If you’re a single person looking for a community with access to roads and trains, Trumbull is the place to be. If you’re a senior looking to remain in our community or if you’re a senior looking for a community to join, Trumbull is the place to be. If you’re a business looking for a place to locate, Trumbull is the place to be.”
“Let me say unequivocally that the state of our town is excellent,” Tesoro declared, citing economic development, returns on investment in education, and strong finances. Combined with the town’s good safety ratings

The international supermarket operator Lidl, which has its corporate headquarters in Germany is proposing to open a supermarket in Yonkers. Lidl’s U.S. operations are conducted under Lidl Us LLC, which is based in Arlington, Virginia. The new store would be in the Central Plaza Shopping Center at 2550 Central Park Ave. in Yonkers.
According to Lidl, its first location opened in 1973 in Ludwigshafen, Germany. It was a small store with only three employees and stocked around 500 products. Lidl now operates in 32 countries and employs more than 341,000 people.
In June 2015, Lidl established U.S. headquarters in Arlington and it currently operates more than 150 stores along the East Coast.
According to attorney Taylor Palmer of the White Plains-based law firm Cuddy & Feder LLP, the shopping center’s owner Central Plaza Associates LLC is proposing the adaptive reuse of space at the shopping center that would combine smaller stores to create the footprint for the proposed
29,208-square-foot supermarket. The smaller stores most recently were occupied by David’s Bridal, Avenue, and Marshalls Shoe Shop. Epstein’s Kosher Delicatessen currently operates in one of the stores. The applicant is seeking site plan and special permit approval.
Palmer said that the shopping center’s owner also plans to demolish the separate 13,664-square-foot building that was previously occupied by Modell’s Sporting Goods, although that is not related to Lidl wanting to open a supermarket at the shopping center. The shopping center also is asking for approval to make improvements that include modifications to the traffic circulation in the existing off-street parking areas.
Palmer said that there is no tenant lined up for the Modell’s site right now. He indicated that a restaurant with a drive-thru would be a possibility for the site and that if and when a tenant is lined up an application to build would be filed with the city. He said that until then the site would be kept as an open grass area.
“The shopping center itself is about a 12.66-acre site. It’s located on the east side of Central Park Avenue and north side of Fort Hill Avenue,” Palmer said. “Back in the 70s this was occupied by a prior supermarket so
we’re effectively just adaptively reusing the existing storefront and demising the space for this new Lidl Supermarket.”
Palmer characterized Lidl as a discount grocer that emphasizes high-quality food at low prices. He said they carry name brands as well as their own Lidl brand products.
Palmer said there will be a new building facade and new signage for the supermarket. He said there will be improvements to the refuse areas, crosswalks and new cart corrals.
Marc Petroro of JMC Planning, Engineering, Landscape Architecture & Land Surveying PLLC said, “We are proposing to reconfigure the surface parking lot to enhance vehicular and pedestrian flow, providing some additional pedestrian crossings ... and pedestrian signage as well.”
Petroro explained that there currently are 732 parking spaces, which will be reduced to 696 by proposed changes. He said that only 577 parking spaces are required under the city’s zoning and that if a restaurant did open at the Modell’s site the parking still would be adequate to comply with the zoning requirements. He said that there would be one loading dock and it would be for use only by the supermarket.
Kelly Clarke, the new coordinator for Culinary and Hospitality Programs at Norwalk Community College (NCC), is excited. She has taken on the role in the midst of major changes to the way the state’s community colleges and universities work, and she is currently in the middle of preparing the kitchens where students will receive much of their training for a new semester.
Clarke can draw on years of experience running culinary arts programs for secondary education programs, including her leadership of the program at Kennebec Valley Community College in Maine, but the sheer breadth and depth of culinary possibility offered by the region may be what excites her the most.
“I’m thrilled to rewrite some curriculum for this international class,” Clarke said while explaining plans to earn American Culinary Federation (ACF) Certification for the program. “I’m asking myself well, ‘Can we get what we
need from an Asian market? We’re going to need snails for escargot when we do France — where can I get those?’ Oh, wait a minute, New York is 13 miles from here.”
“I have so much access to seafood too,” Clarke added. “It’s real seafood and it’s so good. The places that we get our seafood from have been fabulous, they’ve been like, ‘Bring your students down, we’ll show them the boats, we’ll show them how to break down the fish.’ The community is lining up to help our students, and I think that’s fabulous.”
ACF certification will mean that all program graduates have demonstrated what the Federation considers basic mastery of food service quality and safety.
Clarke said the training that students pursuing culinary arts and hospitality certificates receive is intensive and provides a realistic approximation of what students can expect to find once they graduate. To help drive home those lessons, she hopes to improve the offerings of co-op opportunities where students will be able to intern with area employers.
“Because we’re training them to go out there, they need to work in the same sort of environment in here,” she continued.
“So, if we’re expecting them to clean out there, they need to learn to clean in here, wear proper uniforms and do all of those kinds of things.”
According to Clarke, students in the program who take part in “laboratory” classes receive training on how to operate most kitchen equipment and perform the basic tasks to be expected of anybody working in numerous roles throughout a commercial kitchen. They also gain opportunities to experience “front of house” roles such as a host or wait staff.
In addition to kitchen areas, NCC features a wood-paneled dining area, which Clarke says is in much demand as a meeting room but is also a critical component of culinary classes.
“They get that full environment. People come in, get seated, and get a menu. The students take those orders, serve them coffee, dessert, whatever the case may be,” Clarke said. “They take turns doing dishes, they take turns being exposed to things like the pizza or the ovens or the sauté station or the salad station.”
The students in the program will also learn how to approach the complex prob -
lems that occur in real world kitchens.
“One of the first things we teach them is rice pilaf,” Clarke said by way of example. “They don’t necessarily have to remember that it’s eight grams of salt or nine teaspoons of butter. But they have to remember that rice is a two to one ratio for water because when they go out there that’s one of the first things [employers] are going to say. ‘You want this job? Show me how to do that.’ Even if that’s all they remember they’re halfway there. The rest of it comes with practice.”
Budgeting for commercial kitchens shopping, and management basics are aspects necessary to build a successful business beyond being able to cook are also taught in the program. With the merger of NCC and the rest of the Connecticut State Community College system, students will also be able to take courses offered at other institutions in the network.
Clarke encouraged members of the business community to reach out to NCC for opportunities to collaborate with the Culinary and Hospitality Program and, perhaps more importantly, to connect with a pool of emerging talent.
Salena Khan just graduated from Sacred Heart University with a degree in health sciences, and she quickly transitioned into entrepreneurship by launching Life on the Line, an endeavor with the mission of calling attention to tow truck driver safety.
Khan’s father owns Nelcon Towing and Recovery, with locations in five localities across Connecticut. In 2005, her father was on a highway shoulder putting a car on his flatbed when a tractor trailer sped by, blowing him from the truck bed and leaving him badly cut and in need of stitches in his leg.
In creating Life on the Line, Khan seeks to expand the concept of “first responder” to include tow truck drivers handling emergency calls — according to AAA, one tow truck driver on U.S. roads is killed every six days.
Khan lamented that many people were unaware of the risks that these drivers endure while doing their jobs, adding these people are also ignorant of the Move Over law which has been in effect since 2009 and requires highway drivers approaching any stationary emergency vehicles on the shoulder to slow down and, if possible, move over one lane if they are adjacent to the shoulder.
“Growing up in the industry, I was always made aware of it,” she said. “But people my age that are driving around, they have no idea what I’m talking about. It’s just not recognized.”
Part of Khan’s Life on the Line product line will include Lifesaver Lights for tow truck drivers to install on roadsides where they are working.
“I’m working with teammates and I’ll be selling those to the towing industry, so they can have some form of protection,” she said. “They’re not attached to our tow truck — they sit on top of their cones and they flash red and blue lights.”
Khan is also planning to sell shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts and vehicle decals from the e-commerce section of her Life on the Line website, which is still under construction. She has pledged a percentage of the profits will be donated to the International Towing and Recovery Hall of Fame and Museum’s survivor fund.
Khan is aiming to spread her company’s message and products across the U.S. and into Canada, with the goal of bringing down injuries and fatalities within the tow truck driver profession.
“I really believe that this can be a movement that brings not only the community together for a good cause, but also just has us all working together to help each other
save each other’s lives and have each other’s backs,” she said.
While she viewed Life on the Line as a full-time job, she is also working with her family members in her father’s towing company.
“It kind of overlaps a little bit,” she said of her two jobs.
Khan’s progress with Life on the Line can be tracked on social media, with her “lifeonthelineco” accounts on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

The Federal Highway Administration has given its approval to New York City’s congestion pricing plan that would create new tolls for drivers who enter Manhattan at 60th Street or below. The federal agency actually completed its action on the environmental assessment of the congestion pricing plan on June 23 but the action was not revealed until June 26. There was no formal announcement at that time from the Federal Highway Administration that it had given final approval to the controversial plan to collect additional tolls from drivers.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, an advocate of congestion pricing, revealed the federal approval in a brief statement.
“Congestion pricing will reduce traffic in our crowded downtown, improve air quality and provide critical resources
to the MTA,” Hochul announced. “With the green light from the federal government, we look forward to moving ahead with the implementation of this program.”
Congestion pricing is touted as a way to reduce traffic congestion while also reducing air pollution, decreasing travel time on Manhattan’s streets and raising money for the financially-troubled Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The exact schedule of tolls to be charged for vehicles traveling below 60th Street in Manhattan has not yet been determined but has been proposed to range from $9 to $23 for drivers using E-ZPass and up to $35 for drivers billed by mail.
In a joint statement, U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer and U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr., all of New Jersey, said, “All New Jersey drivers entering Manhattan using the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels and George Washington Bridge must be exempt from New York’s
Congestion Tax. We will not stop fighting until we defeat this plan and ensure New York is not allowed to balance its budget on the backs of hard-working New Jersey families. That’s a Jersey promise.”
Some advocates of congestion pricing said the MTA should take in about $1 billion a year from the new toll collections. Congestion pricing could begin operating as soon as the spring of 2024.
All of the apartments would be priced to be affordable to workers earning an average of 60% of the Westchester Area Median Income (AMI). Some units would be priced for families with incomes as low as 30% of the AMI with others priced for those people earning as high as 80% of the AMI.
The Broadway Diner, located at 590 S. Broadway, would be closed and the building demolished to make way for the project. The diner has been a fixture in the area for decades. It’s the place legendary performer John Lennon stopped in March 1975 after a photo session at a park in Yonkers.
The Yonkers City Council referred the proposal to the city’s Planning Board to begin the review process. The Planning Board expressed its intention to declare itself lead agency for the environmental review of the project. According to Planning Board Chairman Roman Kozicky, the developer would need to obtain approvals from the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals before the Planning Board will begin reviewing a yet-to-be-submitted site plan for the project.
In addition to changing zoning to allow for a large apartment building, the Zoning Board would have to grant some waivers. The developer proposes providing only 134 off-street parking spaces while 349 spaces are required. The developer proposes building to a height of 129 feet and three inches while a height of 120 feet is permitted. The proposed plan calls for 92% coverage of the land by construction, while the normal maximum is 90%.
Nightingale,she called Trumbull a special place, “a community of choice.”
Tesoro credited the town’s Department of Economic and Community Development and its director, Rina Bakalar, with achieving much of that success through an emphasis on redevelopment and development in carefully selected sections of town.
“Some of this development has been initiated by long term planning studies including the Long Hill Village District Plan and the Trumbull Center study among others,” she said. “We plan to work, and we work the plan. These improvements are visible all over our town. A few examples include the Long Hill Green area, Madison Village Shopping Plaza, CVS, Starbucks Plaza, Lindeman Reservoir, and the Oakview Area.”
Tesoro highlighted that in the past six years more than 800,000 square feet of commercial space was either redeveloped or reoccupied, leading to the town having the lowest office vacancy rate in all of Fairfield
Westhab, which is headquartered in Yonkers, told the Planning Board, “We are the largest not-for-profit developer of affordable housing in Westchester. Our co-developer, Mega, is a very well-known builder and developer of affordable and market-rate housing.”
Mega Contracting Group based in Astoria bills itself as a full-service development, general contracting and construction management firm. It was established in 1990 and shows 29 residential projects in the New York metro area as having been completed in the last five years.
Nightingale pointed out that Westhab has completed housing projects in Yonkers and runs youth centers, employment programs and other community programs serving Yonkers residents.
“On Locust Hill Avenue we’re building 113 units of affordable housing,” Nightingale said. “Not only will it be one of the greenest multifamily affordable buildings, I think it will be one of the greenest buildings in Westchester.”
Nightingale said that the co-developer Mega has done everything from affordable to market-rate buildings to luxury development.
“They have built here in Yonkers. They have built in partnership with the Housing Authority,” Nightingale said. “What we try to do is deliver a market-rate product and deliver that with super-thoughtful design, abundant amenity space, and really be thoughtful about the streetscape, the business corridor, the South Broadway business district. We’re really proud to join and hopefully stimulate what could be a boom for this community.”
Nightingale said that Westhab is trying to design housing that meets the needs of the community and helps it thrive. He said that apartments in the proposed building would be affordable for nurses, police and even workers at the Lionsgate studio in Yonkers.
Architect Brian Loughlin of Magnusson Architecture and Planning PC said the facade facing South Broadway would be treated with different materials in a number of horizontal and vertical sections to make it appear to be smaller. He said the frontages of ground floor retail, management office and main entrance of the building have been recessed to make them “more welcoming.”
Loughlin said the grade of the building site is about 25 to 30 feet lower than the grade level of the structures to the rear and they took advantage of the difference to place as much parking as possible at the lower grade and then treat the area above
the parking as open space, amounting to approximately 9,000 square feet. He suggested that some of it could be used as play areas for children as well as seating areas and a community garden.
Loughlin said that the building will be all-electric and a solar array will generate some of the power that is used. He also said that the building would have numerous other sustainability features.
Nightingale noted that a previous development proposal for the site resulted in strong community opposition.
“To acquire this site and put together a development plan that we thought could be financeable through affordable housing finance channels we had to present something with some level of scope and I will just say that impact on the neighborhood we see as very net positive for the economy, for our workforce,” Nightingale said.
County for the first quarter of this year.
“Our vacancy rate was over 40% when I took office in 2017,” Tesoro told the audience, “Today that rate is 11.7%.” She pointed to recent corporate arrivals including Henkel Corporation, Amazon, Fuji Film, Kone Elevator, and packaging company TransPak.
“Like any community, there are concerns,” Tesoro allowed, acknowledging that the new ownership of the Westfield Mall has spurred some to worry. She indicated that ongoing studies, a public meeting about potential future uses for the mall, and stakeholder meetings with good attendance are causes for optimism.
However, throughout the rest of her speech she emphasized that past successes can indicate a robust future.
“For many in our community the purchase of their home is one of their most significant investments,” Tesoro said. “In Trumbull, this investment has paid off. It is important to remember that residential property values increased on average by 16% since the last
reevaluation in 2015 and this value has been maintained.”
Tesoro noted that the current growth rate has factored heavily into financial planning in the face of pandemic-related economic headwinds, although she stated there was “some good news here. For the 23-24 fiscal year a growth rate of 34.15% was set on June 12 by the Board of Finance. This represents a tax increase of 1.52%, which is important to everyone, residents and businesses alike.”
According to Tesoro, the tax increase is well below the current inflation rate and is on par with the average rate when she became first selectman in 2017.
“In these very challenging times for our business community and citizens alike it is imperative that we not only keep spending in check, but that we continue to strategically invest in those things that matter to our community and act as a catalyst for growth,” Tesoro added, thanking Director of Finance Maria Pires for her leadership in
managing town spending.
Tesoro made the case that investments in education were paying off for Trumbull, with several schools being recognized by the state Department of Education for academic achievement. She also highlighted efforts to improve recruiting for the police department with a $30,000 sign-on bonus and efforts to reinstate pensions for new officers hired since 2014 as an important catalyst for town growth.
“Trumbull’s future is bright,” she said in closing. “I have spoken of many of our successes and there are more on the way. My administration has faced challenges from weather emergencies to a pandemic. We have proven equal to those challenges. And I remain confident that we as a community have the resources, the people, and the spirit to overcome any challenge. Trumbull is a wonderful community, and I am confident in its future. We are committed to our citizens. We are committed to our business. Trumbull is the place to be.”
Edward Reeves started driving for meal delivery services during the pandemic — Uber Eats, Grubhub and a number of other large services that grew while Covid kept customers out of restaurants but failed to diminish their taste for food from their favorite eateries.
“The first couple months driving and delivering for Uber and GrubHub in TwentyOne, when the pandemic first hit, I did almost 5,000 deliveries,” Reeves recalled. “I was running 12 hours a day and just cooking, cooking like grease.”
When he had a spare moment, Reeves decided to investigate how the companies he was working for got their start, and realized he could do the same. He reached out to DeliverLogic, which is promoted as a “turnkey food delivery software solution.”
“I called them up, paid them handsomely, I feel, and they got me started with doing all of the legwork that it takes to get a delivery company started,” he said. “And Eatztime was born.”
Reeves still drives deliveries himself, but he now has a fleet of three cars decked out with his venture’s unique logo and contact info.
Reeves believed his strategy is paying off. “People are starting to create accounts on the website and on the app. People are checking us out online. We’re seeing from zero visits a day when we first started to maybe 75 visits a day and I think we can actually attribute that to these mobile billboards.”
While based in Milford, Eatztime delivery vehicles can be spotted making deliveries across Fairfield County — and not just for takeout orders. Eatztime also provides grocery delivery services, and Reeves is looking forward to the state’s approval of a recently filed liquor permit.
“We’ll be adding firewater delivery soon,” Reeves said with a laugh. “I think it’s going to give the business a horse-kick in the rear and we are going to really get going.”
According to Reeves, Eatztime is set apart from bigger delivery services by putting an emphasis on customer service. The livery that helps advertise the business also helps put customers at ease when they see an unfamiliar vehicle.
“When we pull up in their driveway, they know we’re not a spooky van just sneaking around scoping out their stuff,” he said. “We’re here to give good service.”
Reeves also acknowledged that some customers may not love the idea of putting private information into an app they just

Stamford Health held a ribbon cutting ceremony June 22 on the second floor of the Whittingham Pavilion for the new Cohen Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).
The new facility incorporates the latest technologies and best practices in the field of caring for newborn infants, including 15 Isolettes, the latest make and model of incubators from Dräger. Each one is located in a separate room with a door which can offer families privacy, a major departure from older NICU designs.
“In the past babies basically shared the adjacent space next to each other,” said Dr. Gerald Rakos, the director of Stamford Health’s Division of Neonatology and chairman of the Department of Pediatrics. “Now we have totally private spaces for parents, we’ve got an overnight facility for parents to stay overnight should we want to, and we’ve got three twin rooms, which allows us
to care for them in the same room without parents having to shift between rooms.”
“There’s good data that says babies who are in individual rooms can develop quicker, that they can grow better because it’s quieter,” he added. “And it’s just a nicer environment, it’s more private and decreases the risk of infections because you only have one family in that room.”
Rakos also observed that “while single rooms have certain clear advantages, we’ve actually found over the years that some families benefit from close interactions with other families, interactions that are actually facilitated when they’re in a shared space. As an example, we had two families that bonded and became lifelong friends, so much so that their premature babies grew up being best friends and went to the junior prom together.”
Rakos oversaw the opening of Stamford Health’s first NICU, and by his count the new Cohen NICU is the sixth he has overseen in Stamford, not counting temporary spaces set up during renovations. He also
downloaded, as is the case with some of the larger delivery services that can lean on widespread name recognition to put people at ease. That is why he is making it a priority to allow for PayPal payments on the app, which provides an added level of security and privacy to orders.
“We offer a more personal experience, a more local experience,” Reeves said of where his customer service focus originates. “We know the area; we know the clientele. We know how folks in this area want to be treated on a personal level, I was an employee at Cablevision for 10 years. So, I had experience dealing with customers in
Wilton, Easton, and Redding and having long conversations with folks. I know what they want and expect from the people that help them out. GrubHub and Uber don’t always hire drivers with that particular knowledge for dealing with clientele in this area.”
More than 40 restaurants from across Fairfield County offer delivery through Eatztime, and Reeves said he is actively courting new eateries to join the network — especially since he has drivers interested in working with him.
“I want to tell people to give a call to their favorite restaurant and have them give us a call so we can add them,” Reeves added.
took the occasion of the ribbon cutting to mark his retirement after 38 years at Stamford Health.
He noted that in his time the hospital has gone from delivering 1,200 babies a year with 50 to 60 needing transfer to the NICU to close to 2,500 per year with single digit numbers of transferred babies.
“Each NICU built upon our previous version, expanding our capacity and our understanding of how to best care for these precious babies,” he said.
Kathleen Silard, the president and CEO of Stamford Health, noted that she started her own career in medicine working as a NICU nurse, rendering the project close to her heart. She thanked the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Foundation for their $5 million gift to build the new NICU and highlighted Robin, Adam and Catalina Whittingham who were in attendance to celebrate the refurbishment of the structure built with their family’s donation 20 years ago.
“I have said many, many times that
Stamford Health is so fortunate to benefit from a generous and highly involved community,” Silard said. “You’ve proven that to be true once again. You’ve proven it over and over as we’ve raised funds to reimagine the mother and baby services at the Whittingham Pavilion and to better create and to cater to the tastes of today’s patients.”
Recent revelations about where and how President Joe Biden and former President Donald J. Trump stored classified government documents got us thinking about where and how to store our valuable possessions.
Much of this has to do with the possessions themselves. Paper does not react well to moisture. So a bathroom — which, by the way, generally locks from the inside — would not be ideal. But then neither would a garage, unless you had airtight storage cabinets.
As for jewelry, many of us might be tempted to take the approach of the British royal family during World War II when they hid the crown jewels from a possible Nazi invasion in a biscuit tin 60 feet below Windsor Castle. I know many of us, myself included, have hidden jewelry in the hopes of keeping it safe and then cannot remember where we stashed it for safekeeping. Fortunately, this didn’t
happen to the crown jewels. But you could accidentally throw out valuables that are kept in an old shoebox.
Keep important papers and jewelry in a safe — which can run you anywhere from less than $100 to upwards of $5,000, depending on its fire ratings and design. (A 10-inch-by-10-inch safety deposit box at a bank will cost about $100 a year.)
A safe at home can be set into a wall, definitely a key consideration during a new build or renovation. If that is not an option, there are many safes that can be attached to the wall or floor, with the basement being a great place to hide a safe. There are also absolutely gorgeous free-standing safes that can be considered a piece of furniture — lacquered in a huge selection of colors with the interiors luxuriously outfitted and compartmentalized to hold all of your baubles and papers. With everything centralized, you can always direct a trusted friend or relative to access what you need should the circumstance arise.
If you are moving residences, it’s important to keep all of your valuables together and give them to a friend or relation who is not involved in the move for safekeeping. Have them returned once you are settled and unpacked so that they don’t get accidentally thrown out or misplaced after the move.
My dad, who is 89, has become incredibly concerned with keeping things safe in his safe. There is little to nothing of value in
his safe, but he is convinced that he needs to keep all of his receipts, spare change, coffee filters and spare keys to old doors that are no longer part of his world in his safe. He rummages in his safe for hours, looking for things he has misplaced. I think this gives him a sense of control and comfort in a world that is receding from him. Indeed, we are all concerned with keeping ourselves and our possessions safe in an increasingly stressful world.
But having a safe or a full-proof place for your valuables not only affords you a degree of peace of mind; it also allows you to decide and organize what is truly important — and what is not. Getting dressed for that special occasion will be so much easier than rummaging through closets, shoeboxes and drawers for your jewelry.
Keeping your valuables safe in a safe enables you to focus on the people, places and things that truly matter to you.

Are you approaching retirement age and wondering where you can move to make your nest egg last longer? Retiring abroad may be the answer. But before packing your bags, it’s important to look at the tax implications to avoid unpleasant surprises.
Leaving the country does not exempt U.S. citizens from their domestic tax obligations. While some retirees may not owe any U.S. income tax while living abroad, they must still file a return annually with the IRS — even if all of their assets were moved to a foreign country. The bottom line is that you may still be taxed on income regardless of where it is earned.
Unlike most countries, the U.S. taxes individuals based on citizenship, not residency. As a result, every U.S. citizen (and resident alien) must file a U.S. tax return reporting worldwide income (including income from foreign trusts and foreign bank and securities accounts) in any given taxable year that exceeds threshold limits for filing.
The filing requirement generally applies even if a taxpayer qualifies for tax benefits, such as the foreign earned income exclusion or the foreign tax credit, substantially reducing or eliminating U.S. tax liability.
These tax benefits are not automatic and are only available if an eligible taxpayer files a U.S. income tax return.
Any income received or deductible expenses paid in foreign currency must be reported on a U.S. return in U.S. dollars. Likewise, any tax payments must be made in U.S. dollars.
Also, retired taxpayers may have to file tax forms in the foreign country where they reside. They may, however, be able to take a tax credit or a deduction for income taxes you paid to a foreign country. These benefits can reduce taxes if both countries tax the same income.
Nonresident aliens who receive income from U.S. sources must determine whether they have a U.S. tax obligation. The filing deadline for nonresident aliens is generally April 15.
U.S. persons who own a foreign bank account, brokerage account, mutual fund, unit trust, or another financial account are required to file a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts (FBAR) by April 15 if they have financial interest in, signature authority or other authority over one or
more accounts in a foreign country, and if rhe aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year.
The definition of a foreign country does not include U.S. territories and possessions, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, the U. S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, or the Northern Mariana Islands.
If Social Security is your only income, your benefits may not be taxable, and you may not need to file a federal income tax return. If you receive Social Security, you should receive a Form SSA-1099, Social Security Benefit Statement, showing the amount of your benefits. Likewise, you should receive a Form 1099-R for each distribution plan if you have pension or annuity income.
Retirement income is generally not taxed by other countries. As a U.S. citizen retiring abroad who receives Social Security, for instance, you may owe U.S. taxes on that income but may not be liable for tax in the country where you’re spending your retirement years.
However, if you receive income from other sources (either U.S. or country of retirement), from a part-time job or self-employment, for example, you may have to pay U.S. taxes on some of your benefits. Each country is different, and you may also be required to report and pay taxes on any income earned in the country where you retired.
If you’ve retired overseas but take on a full or part-time job or earn income from self-employment, the IRS allows qualifying individuals to exclude all, or part, of their incomes from U.S. income tax by using the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE). In 2023, this amount is $120,000 per person.
If two individuals are married and work abroad and meet either the bona fide residence test or the physical presence test, each one can choose the foreign-earned income exclusion. Together, they can exclude as much as $240,000 for the 2023 tax year.
Income earned overseas is exempt from taxation only if certain criteria are met, such as residing outside of the country for at least 330 days over 12 months or an entire calendar year.
The U.S. has income tax treaties with many foreign countries, but these treaties generally don’t exempt residents from their obligation to file a U.S. tax return. Under these treaties, residents (not necessarily citizens) of foreign countries are taxed at a reduced rate or are exempt from U.S. income taxes on certain items of income they receive from sources within the United States. These reduced rates and exemptions vary among countries and specific items of income.
Treaty provisions are generally reciprocal and apply to both treaty countries. Therefore, a U.S. citizen or resident who receives income from a treaty country and is subject to taxes imposed by foreign countries may be entitled to certain credits, deductions, exemptions, and reductions in the rate of taxes of those foreign countries.
Many states also tax resident income, so even if you retire abroad, you may still owe state taxes unless you established residency in a no-tax state before you moved overseas. Some states honor the provisions of U.S. tax treaties; however, some states do not.
Taxpayers who relinquish their U.S. citizenship or cease to be lawful perma-
nent residents of the U.S. during any tax year must file a dual-status alien return and attach Form 8854, Initial and Annual Expatriation Statement. A copy of Form 8854 must also be filed with the Internal Revenue Service by the tax return’s due date (including extensions).
Giving up your U.S. citizenship doesn’t mean giving up your right to receive Social Security, pensions, annuities, or other retirement income. However, the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (IRC) requires the Social Security Administration (SSA) to withhold nonresident alien tax from certain Social Security monthly benefits. Unless you qualify for a tax treaty benefit, as a nonresident alien receiving Social Security retirement income, SSA will withhold a 30% flat tax from 85% of those benefits. This results in a withholding of 25.5% of your monthly benefit amount.
Taxes for Americans living overseas are complicated and can be an important factor in your retirement decision. Consider working with a tax professional well before you plan to retire — this column is for general information only and should not be considered specific advice.

Connections: At the grand opening of the Hudson River Museum’s new West Wing on Thursday, June 15, in Yonkers, museum, city, county and state officials all spoke about connections. They included the professional ones that enabled Yonkers ($5.45 million) Westchester County ($6.2 million) and New York’s Empire State Development ($630,000) to collaborate on a $12.28-million project that is adding 12,000 square feet to the 40,000-square foot museum, including more than 3,800 square feet of new galleries.
But the connections were also personal: Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano recalled biking as a child to the interdisciplinary museum, which explores artistic, historical and scientific connections to the Hudson River. Museum Director and CEO Masha Turchinsky said she visited the museum as a babe in arms.
And the connections were aspirational as well, as official after official spoke about the tourist and educational reach of the museum — and, by extension, its new wing — beyond the Hudson Valley.
“This broadens the museum experience for all of Westchester and way beyond,” said Tom D’Auria, chairman of the museum’s board of trustees. “This is a big moment, one long in the making. It’s the start of the new era.”
But only a start. The Special Exhibition Galleries; The Jan and Warren Adelson Gallery, a sculpture court; and the Community & Partnership Gallery, along with climate-controlled art storage space — all designed by Manhattan-based, museum-centric Archimuse, led by Benjamin D. Kracauer, AIA, and Reuben S. Jackson, RA, principals and architects, and built by GTL Construction LLC of White Plains — are but phase one of a master plan begun in 2002 that has already resulted in an education center, a 400-seat outdoor amphitheater and capital improvements to the entrance, lobby, galleries and Hudson Room events space. (The new storage is designed to ensure the housing and display of works from a permanent collection that contains more than 18,000 objects, including paintings, sculptures, works on paper, photographs, decorative arts, costumes, textiles, graphic designs, historical artifacts, archival materials and ephemera.)
Phase two includes the nearly completed 100-seat tiered auditorium and adjacent
River Terrace, with the terrace receiving a new concrete floor and sleek glass parapet, connecting the auditorium to the Hudson Room, which overlooks the river. Phase two also features plans for a meadow-style perennial and shrub garden on the museum’s western slopes, to be filled with native plants and pollinators to offer sustainable opportunities for interdisciplinary education, connections to the collection and partnerships.
Phase three (2024-25) will turn its attention to the museum’s Glenview Historic Home, an 1877 mansion listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Designed by Charles W. Clinton, the architect of Manhattan’s Park Avenue Armory, Glenview showcases period rooms furnished in the late-Victorian style of the exterior architecture, making it a favorite of Hollywood and visitors alike. (The house was recently featured in HBO’s “The Gilded Age” as the riverfront home of 19th-century New York society arbiter Caroline Astor.) The third phase will include what museum officials described as “much-needed” conservation to exterior stone and woodwork, the roof and the windows. To complete the second and third phases, the museum is conducting a major gift initiative through its Fund for HRM: Expanding the View.
In the meantime, visitors can savor the exhibits in the new spaces. Flowing through the Special Exhibition Galleries is “Kengo Kito: Unity on the Hudson” (through Sept. 24) an installation of some 2,500 colorful hula hoops that evokes Buddhist circles and humanity’s links. With materials in Kito’s native Japanese, English and Spanish that invite you to record your moments of connection in life and a through line to the cantilevered glass overlook offering a Hudson-Palisades panorama, the exhibit — made possible by San Francisco’s W.L.S. Spencer Foundation, New York state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins and Yonkers — is also about the community’s relationship to the river.
“The process of transformation of consciousness through connection is an element that is crucial in the effort to improve the condition surrounding the river,” Kito said in a statement. “Environmental issues are the responsibility of not just one singular person but of the community as a whole.”
The new Community & Partnership Gallery unites past, present and future. The museum comes full circle with an exhibit, “Sylvia Sleigh: Invitation to a Voyage” (through Oct. 15) — featuring one of its most treasured works, a 70-foot-long group
of 14 panels made between 1979 and ’99, in which the Welsh-born painter depicts herself and art-world friends on the east bank of the Hudson near Fishkill in the manner of Jean-Antoine Watteau’s “L’embarquement pour Cythère (The Embarkation for Cythera)” (1717). The work, Turchinsky said during an impromptu tour at the opening, is now displayed as the artist wished it to be, with viewers invited to take a seat in beach chairs set before it.
But this gallery looks to the future as well, with Karintha Lowe, Ph.D., serving as the Mellon Public Humanities Fellow at the Hudson River Museum and Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers — teaching and working on community projects for the next two and a half years, with support from a $1.2 million, five-year grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
More immediately, the museum is welcoming back its Summer Amphitheater Series, with free performances of tango, jazz, soul, Latin Fusion, drama, magic and even falconry Friday and Saturday evenings July 7 through Aug. 12. The series is sponsored by Ørsted, with additional support for select performances by Art Bridges and Sax LLP.

In October 2022, I reviewed the wonderful L’escale restaurant at the Delamar Greenwich Harbor hotel, which for a number of reasons is possibly my favorite restaurant in the region, were I ever pushed to name one, which thankfully I am not. Wasn’t it the Bard who said comparisons are odious — or odorous?
But while singing the restaurant’s praises, I also issued a warning, namely to visit or revisit quickly, because at the time L’escale, at least in its branded incarnation, was under threat of closure. More than a threat, closure was imminent.
Fast forward nine months and that threat has been removed. Under a new licensing agreement with Charles Mallory — founder of Greenwich Hospitality Group, which also includes the Delamar Southport and the Delamar West Hartford — L’escale sails on, full steam ahead. On a recent June evening, under a cloudless cerulean summer sky, (and L’escale’s dramatic white terrace umbrellas), the great and the good of Fairfield and Westchester counties and doubtless many from farther afield came together to celebrate the restaurant’s 20th birthday, tucking into towers of oysters and fresh shrimp, sipping Champagne and gently swaying — after the second or third glass at any rate — to the sounds of a jazz trio playing the best of Elton John and other 1970s
and ‘80s favorites. To be flourishing still after two decades is an achievement in any business, but especially so in the notoriously fickle world of hospitality — and after a world recession and a pandemic to boot.
Two weeks after the anniversary party, I came in for lunch to see how the restaurant was faring at a regular service. There had been a gentle refresh over the winter months, which I knew about, but the antique Provençal tiles and the wonderfully whimsical, curlicued light fittings remained, I was happy to see. (Next year, the bar and terrace are due for light renovations — nothing radical or severe.)
In the kitchen, there is slightly more focus on seasonal plats du jour, but chef Frederic Kieffer, who has been at the helm here since the restaurant’s inception, is still running the show, as well as overseeing the two Artisan restaurants at Greenwich Hospitality’s other hotels. And longtime director of operations, David Fletcher, a James Beard hospitality-award winner, continues to look after L’escale’s front of house, so any early fears of change for the sake of it were immediately allayed.
Can there be a more sumptuous, sensuous, sybaritic spot on a summer’s day in all the tristate area than L’escale’s terrace? I honestly don’t think so. Shown to a prized outside table, dressed in the snowiest white linen, with a view of the harbor and Long Island Sound, I was soon greeted by Fletcher, on hand to pour glasses of L’escale Rosé Brut, one of the restaurant’s two
own-label Champagnes, dry yet absolutely luscious. (The restaurant also does a Rosé de L’escale Côte de Provence, 2021, perfect for light summer drinking.) Even the yellow chrysanthemums that decorate the tables — mums being not always the ritziest of flowers — were looking good, unpretentious and full of sunny promise, while the mainly male front of house team, looking sharp in navy blue Vilebrequin polo shirts, cut a Côte d’Azur, maritime dash.
On the daily-dated menu, charcuterie snacks and appetizers like Roquefort or smoked salmon salad, vied with entrées like lobster roll, steak à cheval or L’escale’s bacon burger for attention. Tough choices. And the calories “saved” in a classic chicken paillard — a perennial best seller — I reckoned could then be squandered on murderously rich desserts, like profiteroles with a crisp craquelin dimension or a chocolate decadence cake.
On this occasion, tuna tartare with English peas and stracciatella; homemade fettucine and clams; the restaurant’s classic Georgette salad (romaine, avocado, chickpeas and more besides, named for Mallory’s wife) and ricotta gnocchi arrabiata were all dishes two of us hugely enjoyed, each item drawing plaudits for its freshness and flavors, as well as immaculate presentation.
And it doesn’t stop at lunch or dinner — or even on the restaurant terrace. The Delamar hotels have just launched Luxe Packages, which offer stays, including classic car experiences (in a one-of-a-kind vintage car from Mallory’s private collection) as well
as Greenwich Harbor cruises in a rare, custom yacht. With each ‘”experience,” guests will enjoy inspired picnic-type menus from the L’escale kitchen.
Truth is, I love L’escale so much, in any given period I’d prefer to eat there just once than in an average restaurant three or even four times, because life is just too short for mediocre eateries. “I’m a man of simple tastes,” Oscar Wilde said famously. “I am always satisfied with the best.” Wilde, incidentally, was quite the gourmand. He also rather cared for French food, apparently, so he’d have loved L’escale, too.
Well, said I, who wouldn’t?

The last time I went up to Martha’s Vineyard, some months before the pandemic in the fall of 2019, it took me five hours by car to Woods Hole and another hour on the ferry to Oak Bluffs — a schlep in anybody’s book. I could have got to Reykjavik, Iceland, more quickly.
Two weeks ago, it took me precisely one hour and 38 minutes, from hopping a Splendid taxi in downtown White Plains to sitting down for dinner on the veranda of The Dunes restaurant at the splendid Winnetu Oceanside Resort, three miles outside elegant Edgartown, where I happily chowed down on an excellent supper of quahog chowder and Maine scallops with celeriac purée.
This time around I took the sensible option, a Tradewind Aviation flight to the Vineyard from the spiffy Million Air private terminal at Westchester County Airport. The company operates private charters as well as scheduled services in the Northeast and Caribbean, with a handy summer shuttle service among White Plains; Newport, Rhode Island; and Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket, Massachusetts.
If you drive to the airport, a valet will whisk your car away and park it and have it ready and waiting for you at the terminal door on your return whenever that might be, all for the princely sum of $20. (Selfparking is also easy — and free for up to 30 days.) Check-in, if you can call it that — since there are no formalities to speak of, just the handing over of your bag if you have one — is 30 minutes before takeoff. But you can wing it, so to speak, and show up just 15 or 20 minutes before your flight with impunity.
So far, so blissful. Inside the terminal, a soaring edifice in stone and oak, with wonderful tree-branch chandeliers, Tiffany lampshades, cowhide-covered benches and beautiful, chrome propeller blade-like sculptures, there’s barely time for a cup of coffee and a glance at the fancy goods for sale — a Tissot watch, anybody? A bottle of Poison? (by Christian Dior, that is) — as a ping on your cellphone tells you it’s time to board.
“Boarding” entails a 30-yard walk to the waiting jet, as you clock your fellow passengers and try, at least in my case, to look nonchalant as if you do this every day of the week, while surreptitiously taking pictures of the plane as you pretend to be on the phone.
That plane, an eight-seat Pilatus PC-12, is a gleaming piece of Swiss aeronautical engineering so beautiful to look at you could mistake it for a rich kid’s toy, only it flies like an arrow at 300 mph, cruising effortlessly at 20,000 feet. And if you’re that person after my own heart who can’t go 41 minutes without munching on something, you’ll want to sit at the back of the plane where the bags of potato chips, popcorn and other snacks are located, along with cold sodas and white wine. Otherwise you’ll have to ask the person at the rear to pass something forward.
No sooner up than down, it seemed like only moment until our descent into the Vineyard. I looked at puffs of summer clouds from both sides now and thought about the sticky summer bumper-to-bumper traffic I had avoided, as the pretty island runway came into view and the baby jet touched down on the Tarmac with barely a kiss.
Over at the Winnetu, Edgartown’s only resort hotel, as family friendly as it is “grownup” and sophisticated, my second-floor “West Chop” suite comprised a neat king bedroom and bathroom with a large walk-in shower and luxury Dyptique products and a well-supplied kitchenette. The large living room with both a sofa-bed and an additional Murphy bed made it ideal for family accommodation. The room also featured a large terrace overlooking the gardens and pond, with the ocean just visible above the tree-
line. South Beach, arguably the Vineyard’s finest, was just moments away.
In the public areas, quirky design elements like pyramidical lamps, a penny-farthing bicycle, Staffordshire-type figurines on the mantelpiece and walls lined with old photographs of the estate and surrounding area make for a countrified feel. You’ll also find a pool table and of course a pool — two of them, actually, as well as bocce, pickleball, tennis courts, basketball, table tennis, outdoor chess and programs for toddlers and older children. The on-site corner store will sell you breakfast on the hop, essential items you may need and many you will not.
(I swear if I buy another branded baseball cap from a hotel shop I will have to move to a bigger house.) And the free hourly shuttle to Edgartown is a valuable amenity — as is the (paid-for) daily water taxi service, which takes you into town meandering through sheltered Katama Bay. There are no resort fees.
While Winnetu is not in any way a glitzy resort, which in any case would not sit well in this demure, family-orientated locale, it is an utterly delightful and wholesome one, managed with great sensitivity and concern for its faithful, annually-returning guests.
Worth mentioning is that, while the Vineyard’s year-round population of around 17,000 — many of them Westchester and Fairfield county residents, who relocated
here during the pandemic — swells to more than150,000 in high-season, amazingly the island, especially the interior, never feels overcrowded. Even at full tilt, Winnetu, which also has private houses on its estate for sale or rent that benefit from all the hotel facilities, is large enough for guests to spread out and enjoy themselves.
While year-round occupancy and the “second-home market” continues to increase, rentals on Martha’s Vineyard are also at an all-time high. From May 2022 to May 2023, 1,200 homes on the island were converted into weekly rentals, Matt Moore, Winnetu’s general manager, told me. Many of those renters are from the tristate area, and the convenience of flying up to the Vineyard from Westchester Country Airport with Tradewind, without so much as an airport body scanner to walk through, will be a boon.
For my return journey, Winnetu’s affable bellman — college sophomore Paul Forbes, who himself has long family associations with the island — drove me back to the dinky Martha’s Vineyard airport, making good conversation all the way and filling me in on aspects of island life. With no check-in formalities at the airport, no TSA security screening and little fanfare, I was quickly aboard with my two fellow passengers, back in Westchester before I’d even finished my packet of Miss Vickie’s chips and white wine spritzer.
Talk about the high life. Talk about cutting out the hassle. After an experience like this, it’s hard to come down to earth — or to drive long-distance again.

The city of Kingston in Ulster County has been awarded a $21.7 million federal grant to support its waterfront revitalization program known as the Kingston Weaving the Waterfront Transportation Project. The money comes from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant program. The $21.7 million is the largest grant award in Kingston’s history.
The project includes expanding the walkability of the waterfront, connecting residents from underserved neighborhoods, and making the area more accessible to help businesses attract customers.
Other elements of the project include improving safety and access to park spaces, developing walking and bike paths, preparing for a predicted rise in the water level of the Hudson River by elevating roadways in two areas that flood, East Strand and Delaware Avenue. The project also calls for the installation of three charging stations for electric vehicles.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has been among those pushing for the funding. In a letter to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg lobbying for the money, Schumer said, “The proposed project will ignite economic growth by revitalizing the city’s picturesque waterfront while making it more accessible to Kingston residents seeking social services and job opportunities.”
Schumer also told Buttigieg, “The city of Kingston has worked closely with my office on its Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, locally prepared comprehensive land and water use plan for the city’s natural, public, and developed waterfront resources along the Hudson River and Rondout Creek.”
Kingston’s Mayor Steve Noble thanked Schumer and Rep. Pat Ryan, who formerly was the Ulster County Executive, for supporting the funding for Kingston.
“They see, like we do, Kingston’s need for connection to our breathtaking natural resources, making these assets accessible
to residents of all abilities, and protecting our downtown homes and businesses from a changing climate,” Noble said. “This grant will not only make an entire neighborhood safer, it will beautify the area and bring sustainable growth to the waterfront.”
In a statement released after the grant was awarded, Schumer said, “This game changing $21+ million is the missing piece of the puzzle to help Kingston revitalize the downtown waterfront, bringing the city one step closer to achieving equity, creating good paying jobs, and bolstering
economic development.”
At the same time, Rep. Pat Ryan said, “Both as County Executive and now in Congress, I’ve fought to deliver for Hudson Valley families, working to secure the infrastructure investments we need to revitalize our local economy and create good-paying jobs. This is an absolute game-changer for the city of Kingston and the region as a whole.”
Schumer said that Kingston and the Hudson Valley will benefit from other federal funding such as $11.5 billion in new
highway funding for New York state. This amount includes an estimated $289 million for New York in Transportation Alternatives funds to build walking and biking facilities. Local entities like the Ulster County bus system, UCAT, will also get a major boost with $8,062,133 in direct funding, which is on top of the nearly $5 million UCAT received in the CARES Act, and $1,310,895 from the American Rescue Plan. Schumer also had secured $17.3 million in flexible local aid for the city of Kingston in the American Rescue Plan.
Adeveloper and holding company based in Hollywood, Florida, wants to create a mixed-use facility at the site of a former Catholic high school in the Kingston area. The company is named Konnectia and describes itself as a having 30 years experience and having developed properties in: Kissimmee, Florida; Michigan; Georgia; Virginia; and New York.
The developer recently purchased the former John A. Coleman Catholic High School at 430 Hurley Ave. in Hurley, a town near Kingston. When the school was closed by the New York Archdiocese in 2019 and put on the market, a real estate brochure described it as having more than 117,000 square feet. The school included a multi-purpose auditorium and gymna-
sium, cafeteria, more than 100 parking spaces with room for expansion and athletic fields and a track. The property was described as encompassing 15 acres. The property was being offered for sale at a price of $4.29 million.
Konnectia said that it wants to develop a mixed-use project for the site that would include retail space, 55 office units, a sports complex, 60 residences and 120 hotel rooms. Konnectia did not provide details about what would be in its site plan for the development such as whether the existing school building would be demolished or renovated in an adaptive reuse project. Also not yet disclosed is whether the residences would be apartments or single-family or multifamily structures.
The Archdiocese closed the Coleman High School in August of 2019 when the school year ended. It said that all of the student records were being moved to the
Archdiocesan Archive Center in Yonkers.
The school had operated in Ulster County for more than 50 years. The school’s Board of Trustees had sent out a notice that
the operation of the school was no longer sustainable, in part because enrollment was down and maintenance costs for the building were up.

The owner of a parcel of land comprising 139 acres on Cedar Hill Road in the Town of Wappinger in Dutchess County wants to subdivide the property for a residential development. The project would consist of either 88 single-family homes or 22 multi-family buildings with four units in each. The owner is asking that the town consider making zoning changes that would be required for the multi-family development. The residential subdivision has been named Joey Estates. The developer is Mid Hudson Development Corp. owned by John Goetz and based in Hopewell Junction.
Amy Bombardieri of the Wappingers Falls-based firm Day Stokosa Engineering PC, described the 88-lot single-family subdivision as being as-of-right. She said if the town allows multi-family buildings the residences could be sold for about half of the price that would have to be charged if the project went ahead on an as-of-right basis. A section of the Town of Wappinger’s Zoning Code that Bombardieri cited allows modification of minimum lot sizes and the approval of conservation or cluster developments.
“The as-of-right development includes extensive infrastructure costs and as a result the projected starting price for a single-family home in the proposed as-of-right development is upwards of $950,000,” Bombardieri said. She added that with zoning changes a project could be built with home prices projected to start at $450,000.
Bombardieri held out the prospect that townhouses, condominiums or apartments would help meet the changing needs of the community. She said there would be less impact on the land from a project with multi-family buildings.
“The subdivision application presents a dwelling unit count of eighty-eight. Water will be provided through a private water supply system. The subdivision will be serviced by 1.94 miles of road, storm water management and infrastructure features,” Bombardieri said.
She explained that the use of Town Code §240-19 to permit multi-family structures would benefit the environment by reducing of the length of the internal road that would have to be built from 1.94 miles to 0.28 miles.
Bombardieri said that if single-family homes were built there would be about 46 acres left as open space while the layout of 22 multi-family buildings would leave up to
117 acres of undisturbed land. Other claimed benefits of the multi-family approach to the project include saving water and generating less traffic. Bombardieri cited engineering calculations indicating that the multi-family concept would result in approximately one-third
fewer road trips than would the single-family layout.
Bombardieri pointed out that the town’s Comprehensive Plan says, “Very few alternatives to single-family detached homes have been built in the town over the past 20 years.”
Hospitals are focused on treating patients, but they are not the only ones in distress. Their caregivers — who can be friends, loved ones, or even hospital staff — can face mental health issues related to stress, fear, grief, or even simply from having to put up a brave front so the patient doesn’t have to worry.
While the challenges of the person sitting in a waiting room or giving a hand a comforting squeeze may be hard to compare to that faced by the patient, they are still read, and few resources exist specifically for caregivers.
At Danbury Hospital, the Goldstone Caregiver Center provides care for those trying to support others.
“The Caregiver Center is here to support families,” said Miranda Dold, a licensed clinical social worker and the manager of the Goldstone Caregiver Center. “We realize that caregiving comes with many different challenges, and so we are here to provide support in whatever way the caregivers need.”
Dold oversees two other full-time staffers and a team of volunteers who help provide access to services and seek out individ-
uals in the hospital who could benefit from a visit.
“We know that everyone’s definition of support for themselves is different. So, we provide support on many different levels,” said Dold. “We have this beautiful center; it provides different aspects that can be helpful to caregivers. It’s a very calming space, it’s a place for caregivers to rest and rejuvenate.”
The Goldstone Center is outfitted with earth tone decorations and comfortable furniture. Two “quiet rooms” offer a space where a caregiver can take a nap or collect their thoughts in private. A kitchen area that is well stocked with herbal teas can offer a brief respite while computers with internet access can allow caregivers to handle work-related matters, make arrangements, or conduct research. A conference room ideal for “family meetings” is also available, complete with bookshelves bearing literature on topics likely to come up during hospital stays.
The Goldstone Center also organizes groups and classes on topics pertaining to health care and managing the challenges of being a caregiver. They are offered in a hybrid fashion and, according to Dold, provide a true “lifeline” to those caring for the homebound.
“With most healthcare systems focused
on improving the patient experience through various initiatives derived from the voice of the patient, Danbury Hospital is fortunate to have the Goldstone Caregiver Center that embraces the family experience, too,” said Peter Athanasoulis, director of experience engineering at Danbury and New Milford Hospitals, which are part of Nuvance Health.
“The Center, fully funded by philanthropy, compliments our ongoing commitment to service excellence and continuous performance improvement.”
The Goldstone Caregiver Center is completely free, and its services are available without requiring a connection to Danbury Hospital or Nuvance. There are only 20 to 30 caregiver centers across the U.S., according to Dold, who noted they often work together as an informal network by providing advice about how to access services they don’t themselves offer.
The first center to open was the Ken Hamilton Caregiver Center at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco.
“Marian Hamilton’s husband was very sick,” Dold said of the origins of the program. He had been in the hospital and she had young kids and said, ‘I’m trying to be a wife, a caregiver, a mother. Where is the support for me as we work through this?”’
The resulting model is described by Dold as “homelike, warm” and both replicable and adaptable to the needs of individual communities.
Dr. Stuart Bussell, a colorectal surgery specialist at Danbury Hospital, spoke highly of the benefits of the facility.
“You know what it’s like if you had a family member that was really sick, in surgery or the ICU.” Bussell said. “It’s teeth grinding, it’s so stressful. So that’s why I try to send families down to the Goldstone Center. It’s not just about the technical aspects of doing surgery or medicine for us. You have to think about the customer service aspect to use a hotel term. Did you have a good experience? Did you feel like your questions were answered?”
Bussell also expressed hope that caregiver centers will become increasingly common in coming years, such as the sister Goldstone Caregiver Center Nuvance planned for Norwalk Hospital.
“We’re really lucky to have spectacular donors that permit us to do a lot of work that we might not otherwise be able to do, but I would like to see places like this everywhere. Just like every hospital has an intensive care unit, every hospital has waiting rooms, you should really have something like this,” Bussell said. “I just think it’s an essential part of good health care.
Norwalk’s ElderHouse names new CEO ElderHouse, a Norwalk-based not-for-profit adult day center, announced the appointment of Julia Schwartz-Leeper as executive director.

Assisted living facilities win national award
Willow Gardens Memory Care and Willow Towers Assisted Living, both assisted living facilities located on United Hebrew’s
campus of senior care in New Rochelle, have received the 2023 National Bronze Quality Award from the American Health Care Association (ACHA) and the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL), a leading industry association for long-term and postacute care.
“This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care and enriching the lives of our residents through quality improvement,” said Nora O’Brien, executive director.
Willow Gardens and Willow Towers are among an elite group to be recognized in New York state and 57 across the nation, which have also received the Bronze honors. The award is the first of three pro-
gressive award levels through the National Quality Award Program, presented by the AHCA/NCAL.
“As the standard of excellence in our industry, this recognition signifies that we are performing well against national quality standards. Now, we’re building upon a strong foundation and will track and measure our progress toward the next level, a Silver Quality Award. Of course, achieving quality is about more than meeting requirements; the real reward is knowing that we are providing the very best possible experience for our residents,” said O’Brien.
United Hebrew President and CEO Rita Malbi added, “The program helps us remain competitive as an organization and helps provide the outstanding and compassionate care our residents and their families deserve.”
The awards will be presented during the AHCA/NCAL Convention & Expo, Oct. 1-4 in Denver.

“As Chasten, Harvey and Richie acknowledged on stage, they were each born in different decades and thus have endured varying degrees of our social and
political climate toward the gay community. They were exceptionally well-suited for this kind of event,” said Jared Shahid, managing director, Talent & Marketing, the Ridgefield Playhouse. “…We had a lot of parents of gay teens in the room and they were visibly moved by Chasten’s candor, empathy and relatability. It was an important event for our community,” he said.
Americares in Stamford, the health-focused relief and development organization, announced the election of award-winning writer, director and producer Marti Noxon to its Board of Directors. Her threeyear term began in May.
Noxon first learned of Americares in 2004, when the organization was responding to the devastating Indian Ocean tsunami. Shortly thereafter, she hosted a fundraiser for Americares in Los Angeles, which was the first of several events she held to help raise visibility and funds for the organization. In 2009, Noxon helped found Americares Los Angeles Council, a volunteer group comprised of people in the entertainment industry working to promote awareness around Americares health programs and raise funds locally. The Los Angeles Council went on to organize a number of events in support of the organization. In 2012, Noxon also led the effort to produce “We Hate Hurricanes,” a comedy benefit to support Americares response to Hurricane Sandy. In 2020, Noxon served as an executive producer of Americares star-studded “Covid is No Joke” virtual comedy benefit to support frontline health workers at the height of the pandemic. In 2022, she co-chaired the Americares Airlift Benefit, which raised nearly $1.8 million for the organization’s programs worldwide.
At the same time, Noxon has traveled with the organization to Guatemala and the Dominican Republic on volunteer service trips to see Americares health programs firsthand and meet with the health-care providers and patients benefitting from these transformative health projects. She earned a degree in theater arts from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
The Americares Board of Directors oversees all aspects of the health-focused relief organization’s life-changing health programs, including its disaster response work and support for 4,000 under-resourced hospitals and health clinics worldwide.

Since communities across New York state face intensifying climate-change-related hazards, including dangerous floods, the New York State Senate and Assembly have now passed a bill, which will protect shorelines and environment from these threats. The bill sponsored by State Senator Shelley B. Mayer and Assemblyman Steve Otis passed both legislative bodies. The bill, if signed by the Governor, will require the Department of Environmental Conservation to encourage the use of nature-based solutions as the preferred approach for stabilizing tidal shorelines in the oversight and regulatory decisions of the agency.
Nature-based solutions, or living shorelines, are shoreline management techniques that are supported or inspired by nature or natural processes and functions and are designed to mimic natural shorelines, improving the resilience of shorelines and communities.
The bill was inspired by the work of Save the Sound and Riverkeeper, two major advocacy organizations confronting the impacts of climate change on water bodies and inland areas.
“Living shoreline principles are vital to improving coastal resilience, reducing flood impacts, preventing shoreline erosion and protecting natural habitats…,” said Otis.
