Southampton marketing firm that promotes luxury real estate has severed its relationship with social media influencer Daniella Salvi over her “bad behavior.” On the Inside Media Group Inc. canceled a contract with Salvi’s firm, D&Y Brand of Yonkers, after photographs of Salvi surfaced that On the Inside considers offensive. D&Y Brand, controlled by Salvi and Yamile Ramirez, sued On the Inside Media Group on July 15 in Westchester Supreme Court for $35,000 for allegedly not paying for videos. “On the Inside is prepared to face her head on,” Ryan Clark, a representative of the firm, responded in an email. “There is more to the story than Daniella and her team are letting on. We will not be bullied or intimidated. We look forward to exposing Ms. Salvi and having our day in court.” Salvi is an actress, model and social media influencer with 1.1 million Instagram followers, according to the D&Y Brand complaint. » OVEREXPOSED?

Rye Brook-based Tailwind Air spreads it wings BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

s the region moves away from the drastic societal changes created during the Covid-19 pandemic, some of the less charming aspects of the pre-pandemic world have returned with gusto: bumper-to-bumper highway traffic (particularly on I-95) and crowded airports filled with often unpleasant people squeezed into none-too-comfortable flights. For Rye Brook-headquartered Tailwind Air, however, the post-pandemic era is opening up opportunities designed to help travelers avoid the dreariness of highways and airports. Using Manhattan’s Skyport at the Lower East River off East 23rd Street, the airline introduced two new routes that have the potential of dramatically changing northeastern U.S. travel. On July 29, Tailwind debuted a service connecting New York City with the Bridgeport-owned and Stratford-based Sikorsky Memorial Airport with a one-way $135 fare. This route is the first regularly scheduled commuter flight from the Fairfield County facility since the 1990s. “Most of our seaplane fleet is overnighted in Bridgeport,” said Peter Manice, Tailwind’s co-founder, vice president of

marketing and director of scheduled operations. “These flights are super well-timed for morning commuters to go into Manhattan in 25 minutes, turn around and come back in the evening by flying over everybody.” On Aug. 3, Tailwind will debut service on Aug. 3 from New York City to Boston Harbor, a 75-minute flight with a one-way $395 fare that concludes with a dedicated seven-minute water taxi ride that transfers passengers from the aircraft to the South Boston waterfront. “Boston had a seaplane base in the ’30s and ’40s that went dormant and no longer existed,” said Manice, adding the company needed to clear multiple regulatory hurdles with the Federal Aviation Administration and 15 state and federal agencies to re-establish a seaplane base in the controlled airspace around Logan Airport. “We’ve had to work closely with Logan Airport and air traffic control,” Manice said. “That finally all came to fruition about four weeks ago, but it’s been years in the making.” Founded in 2012, Tailwind had initially focused on seasonal leisure flying to eastern Long Island and the Nantucket-Martha’s Vineyard markets. The airline uses Cessna Caravans that can carry eight passengers and touches down on both land and water.

“It’s a fantastic airplane,” said Manice about the Cessna Caravan. “It’s equipped with all the modern equipment of any aircraft, as well as the navigational equipment and necessary equipment for boat operation. And it’s just amazing.” Separate from these waterway-based routes, Tailwind also operates a fleet of 15 additional aircraft to handle its chartered flights services, which have seen a new popularity over the past year. “As the pandemic wore on, we saw a lot of people reaching out to us who had never flown privately before,” Manice said. “We also did some rescue-type missions for people who were overseas and needed to come back. I don’t want to overdramatize how that was, but they were more or less stranded where they were and we became the only flight option.” As commercial air traffic returns to normalcy, Tailwind is experiencing a new normal of increased inquiries. “The demand for our private fleet is through the roof,” said Manice, who added Tailwind has offered chartered service from Maine to West Virginia. “It’s the highest demand we’ve ever seen — we’re having to turn away people all the time and you’re almost having to reserve these flights farther in advance that you’ve ever done FCBJ

before.” While Tailwind has chosen not to continue with its Nantucket-Martha’s Vineyard flights this year — the airline still maintains charter service to that market — Manice said the company is looking south for its next destination. “Washington is the next major route in our sights,” he said. “It has some unique requirements, but we hope to be able to serve Reagan National Airport nonstop from Manhattan in the next 12 to 18 months.” The company is also exploring routes serving Connecticut’s two commercial airports, Bradley International and Tweed New Haven. “We love Connecticut and many of our employees live in Connecticut,” Manice said, adding that the non-Cessna Caravan aircraft in Tailwind’s fleet “is based at Westchester Airport, which sits on the Connecticut borderline.” Manice is also planning to grow the airline’s fleet to 25 aircraft within a year, but he is not forecasting a corporate growth from a privately held airline into a publicly traded company. “We look forward to having a lot of success and being in a position at some point to consider different ways of growing,” he said. “But we’re happy where we are right now.” WCBJ

‘First of its kind’ fertility treatment offered at RMA of Connecticut 2 02 1

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ouples looking for help with fertility have a new option at RMA of Connecticut. Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMA) is now offering Invocell, a patented medical device used in the treatment of infertility that enables egg fertilization and early embryo development to take place in a woman’s body instead of an embryology lab. The eggs are retrieved from a woman’s ovaries and placed in the Invocell system with sperm. The device is then placed inside the woman’s body to allow fertilization and incubation to occur. “It’s very cool,” attested Dr. Spencer Richlin, surgical director and partner at RMA, which

has offices in Danbury, Norwalk, Stamford and Trumbull, as well as in Harrison, New York. “Invocell is unique in many ways,” he said. “For patients trying to decide between intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF), Invocell offers another great choice. “The success rates for Invocell are close to regular IVF and higher than IUI, making it a truly viable treatment method,” Richlin said. The average U.S. success rate for IVF is 37.8%, while for IUI it is about 20%. “When a patient chooses to do a traditional IVF cycle, their eggs are retrieved and combined with sperm in our embryology lab, then carefully monitored for growth over the next five days,” Richlin continued. “With Invocell, the egg retrieval pro-

The doctor said that after consultations with other RMA physicians and its clinical team the decision was made to add the treatment to its menu of options. “Invocell is also more accessible and offers a higher level of personal involvement in the IVF process, which is something we knew would appeal to many of our patients,” he said. Invocell should also appeal to LGBTQ+ female couples who both want to participate in the conception and carrying of their future child, Richlin added. As for price, he said, “Invocell is certainly more cost-conscious than IVF, especially for patients without insurance. RMA of Connecticut’s Invocell plan is $7,500, and includes services such as egg retrieval, three free months of cryopreservation, embryo transfer and more. “Since Invocell is a newer technology, it is not yet covered by insurance, but we are hope-

Spencer Richlin ful it will become covered in the future,” he said. “Choosing Invocell could save someone $10,000 or more, depending on their insurance coverage.” As RMA officially launched Invocell on July 13, Richlin declined to provide specifics about patients’ experiences with the device. He noted, however, the process is the first of its kind. “It opens up the world of fertility treatment to even more patients, and offers a fresh way for women using fertility treatment methods to be involved in the conception and incubation process,” he said. “I knew right away that we had to bring this technology to RMA of Connecticut.”

Overexposed?— On the Inside Media Group, founded in 2015 by real estate broker Jonathan Davis, often uses videos to market and sell luxury real estate, according to its website, “revealing peeks inside the doors of some of the most prestigious addresses around the world.” In February, the firms struck a deal whereby D&Y would create videos with Salvi as the host-model. D&Y would make two videos a month, the lawsuit states, and would be paid $5,000 each even if the videos were not required or used. On the Inside got exclusive right to use Salvi’s name and image in the videos, and she agreed not to perform similar services for other real estate companies.

On the Inside also was entitled to a permanent post on Salvi’s Instagram page. Salvi was responsible for her makeup, hair styling and outfits for each production. In May, Salvi went to the designated location for a shoot, according to the D&Y lawsuit, but no one from On the Inside Media Group showed up. Then on June 3, On the Inside gave a 30-day notice canceling the contract. D&Y claims that On the Inside owes $35,000 for six videos it did not require and for an extra video that was produced one month. The Yonkers firm said On the Inside also posted a message on Salvi’s Instagram page stating that her contract was termi-

nated because of “your bad behavior.” “This statement is false,” according to the complaint, and “appears intended to harm (Salvi’s) career as a social media influencer.” The message also asked why Salvi was posting photos from a client’s house without permission from On the Inside, and demanded that she remove them. One photo, Clark said in an email to the Westchester County Business Journal, is of Salvi “lifting up her dress in a $20M townhouse we were filming at so she could post on her personal website.” On the Inside threatened to sue D&Y for slander, according to a June 24 cease and desist demand, for disparaging statements that Salvi allegedly made to a client

of the firm. “From Day 1,” Clark said in the message to the Business Journal, Salvi “hindered our ability to book shoots for our LUX real estate series that she was hired to host.” Citing other photographs posted by Salvi, he said “it is embarrassing the way she promotes and conducts herself online.” “We wish her the best,” Clark said, “but we do not tolerate working with anyone who behaves in this manner.” D&Y charges On the Inside Media Group with breach of contract, breach of the duty of good faith and fair dealing, unjust enrichment and defamation. It is represented by Manhattan attorney Galen J. Criscione.

Drones taking off with fed support BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

s drone technology continues to evolve, efforts are continuing to make sure that Connecticut isn’t left in the dust. “There have been some very exciting developments over the past year, even with the pandemic,” Mark Strauss, co-founder of Stamford’s WaveAerospace, told the Business Journal. “We’re continuing our testing program, we’ve moved offices and we’re still working on the Stamford-Huntington project.” That project, first reported by the Business Journal in March 2020, involves establishing a 10-mile pathway between Stamford and Huntington, Long Island, with aircraft to fly over the Long Island Sound between 500 and 1,000 feet high in a 1,000-foot-wide corridor. It would be only the eighth designated drone corridor in the U.S., Strauss said, and the only one between two states. With Covid hitting Huntington particularly hard, the project was essentially put on hold for much of last year; “We’re waiting for both states to be fully reopened so we can complete the details,” Strauss said. Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut has become involved in the drone industry through his support of The U.S. Innovation and Competition Act of 2021, formerly known as the Endless Frontier Act. Sponsored by Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Todd Young of Indiana, the bill would authorize $110 billion for basic and advanced technology research over five years. Blumenthal also played a key role in the U.S. Department of Justice’s decision to ban the use of Department of Justice funds to buy or operate drones from “covered foreign” countries such as China. The bipartisan American Security Drone Act, Blumenthal co-authored, paves the way for U.S.-based drone manufacturers to enter the burgeon-

WaveAerospace’s X-5 drone. ing industry. How burgeoning is it? The global Unmanned Aerial Vehicle market was estimated at $13.4 billion in 2020 and is expected to hit $20.8 billion this year. It is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 57.5% from 2021 to 2028, according to Grand View Research. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, 868,838 drones are registered in the U.S. Da Jiang Innovations of China has a 76.8% share of the U.S. market, according to the German drone research organization Droneii. A July 23-dated statement by the U.S. Department of Defense said, “that systems produced by Da Jiang Innovations pose potential threats to national security.” It went on to state: “A recent report indicated that certain models of DJI systems had been found to be approved for procurement and operations for U.S. government departments and agencies. This report was inaccurate and uncoordinated and its unauthorized release is currently under review by the department. In 2018, DOD issued a ban on the purchase and use of all commercial offWCBJ

the-shelf drones, regardless of manufacturer, due to cybersecurity concerns.” “Our goal is to become more competitive by strengthening U.S. leadership and businesses in critical technologies through investment in innovation,” Blumenthal said during the visit to Hartford’s Aquiline Drones last month. “These include artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, cloud technology, IoT (Internet of Things) and advanced manufacturing.” Other topics discussed by the senator and Aquiline founder and CEO Barry Alexander included new industry applications for drone technology such as smart farming, drone delivery services for human tissues and organs, asset inspection, including energy and utilities, bridges, tunnels, wind turbines, cellphone towers, as well as their utilization in multiple areas by first responders — the latter of which are also priorities for WaveAerospace. Alexander attested that Blumenthal, who chairs the Senate Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety and Data Security, “has been a huge proponent by introducing and supporting federal legisla-

tion to enhance American-based technology, manufacturing, AI, R&D and the Internet of Things. By seeing firsthand how we’re developing and building the next generation of drones right here in his home state, we hope to arm him with more ammunition to continue his fight in Washington by creating laws that protect our nation and produce much-needed, high-paying jobs.” The global drone market is being driven by the increasing use of unmanned aerial vehicles across such industries such as defense and security, agriculture, retail, media and entertainment. Perhaps the most recent high-profile application came during the Olympics opening ceremony, when 1,824 LED-equipped drones formed a 3D model of the world. While such performances can be entertaining, Strauss said his company remains focused on providing additional tools to police and other first responders. “Most drones have a limit when it comes to the environment they can fly in,” he said. “Going out in 30 mile-per-hour winds in the pouring rain — that’s what we do.” And while he acknowledged Blumenthal’s “America First” approach, Strauss said WaveAerospace is more focused on working with the FAA to work out proper and efficient guidelines for such flights. Strauss further noted that his company recently relocated its headquarters from Stamford coworking space Serendipity to TIP Digital, the technology incubation program at UConn’s Stamford campus. A by-invitation-only affair, TIP Digital now has brought on 12 startups. Various members of TIP Digital have helped WaveAerospace integrate into UConn’s community, and a number of students — “research fellows, not interns,” Strauss emphasized — are helping with research and development. Manufacturing continues in Greenwich. “It’s an incredible facility,” he said of the TIP space, “and we’re very proud to have been asked to be a part of it.”

SUITE TALK Suite Talk: Joseph D. Roberto, chairman, president and CEO of PCSB

n 1871, Putnam County Savings Bank was in Alexander Lobdell’s general store across from the railroad station in Brewster, with a customer base of mostly farmers and townsfolk. Fast-forward 150 years and today’s $1.8 billion PCSB has its corporate headquarters in Yorktown and 50 branches spread across Westchester, Dutchess, Putnam and Rockland counties. As part of the observances of the bank’s sesquicentennial, Business Journal Senior Enterprise Editor Phil Hall spoke with Joseph D. Roberto, PCSB’s chairman, president and CEO.

It isn’t very common for an institution to be around for 150 years in any industry. What’s been the secret of your success? “I think the secret is that we are a community bank and we’ve always stayed close to those roots as being a community bank. Our employees, our board members and our officers all live in the communities that we work in. I think that’s important, because we have that strong connection to the communities — we know our customer base very well.” In terms of serving your customer base, how did the bank come through the Covid-19 pandemic? “When the pandemic hit, like any other bank or any other business, we had to decide how we were going to operate and fully be able to serve our customer base. We followed all the CDC guidance and the executive orders coming out of the governor’s office and we ended up pretty much having 100% of our back-office staff being able to work remotely. “Banks played an important role in supporting businesses and consumers through this pandemic, providing PPP funding and the loan deferrals that were required to keep businesses — especially small businesses — with their ability to continue to operate. It was a challenge — it was uncharted waters for everybody, but we figured it out. “It was rather difficult for our branch staff to work remotely because they needed to be there to service the customers. And at the height of the pandemic, we had our lobbies closed. However, we operated through drive-up windows and people were able to make appointments to come inside. “But as far as operationally, there was minimal disruption in our ability to provide the services for our customers. And now that we’ve been coming out of the

FCBJ

pandemic, we made the decision on June 1 to come back to full operations with a full staff on-site. “And as a community bank, we’re still at a size where we can make decisions rather quickly. We don’t have a lot of red tape to go through. “Today’s banking industry has a lot more challenges than it had a few years ago, particularly with the rise of fintechs trying to eat away at the customer base.” What is your bank doing to elbow away the competition? “For deposit operations, we compete with the major money center banks with our online banking products and our cash management products for businesses, and we compete rather well. “There’s definitely strong competition with fintechs, mainly due to the technology advancements that they’ve been able to provide, mostly on the lending side of the business. However, with fintechs on the lending side — the Rocket Mortgages of the world — that is tough to compete with. “However, I think there’s also an opportunity for banks like us to partner up with a fintech and use their platform. We are currently talking with a fintech company that has a small-business lending platform, mainly for loans that are about $150,000 and under. Their platform could process and turn around a small-business loan within hours. We’re saying, ‘Hey, let’s partner up and maybe we can provide that ease of service and that technology to our customer base.’” Being in business 150 years, you’re obviously doing something right. Are there areas, though, where the bank could stand to use some improvement? “I think the key for a bank that’s been around for 150 years is the fact that we provide excellent customer service. There is still a large part of our customer base that likes to come in, and I think we provide a friendly atmosphere — you don’t get that with the fintechs. “Improvement-wise is probably on the technology side of the business and making sure the Gen Z customers understand that we can support them through their phones without having to spend time in a bank. But I know that when it comes down to lending products, especially on a residential loan, those same Gen Zs would like to talk to somebody and, again, that makes us a little bit different than a fintech.” WCBJ

What is the bank doing to celebrate its 150th anniversary? “We’re putting together a campaign to let our customer base know that we are still one of the few remaining community banks in the market. There are very few community banks left in our marketplace. “There are some things that we do to continue to solidify our customer base, we are relocating our Mount Vernon

office into the center of the business district, which I think further solidifies our commitment to the city. We also hired a chief diversity officer and director of community development, which is another way for us to say to the community that we support you and we want to be part of your community. We believe this addition to our senior staff reflects our commitment to diversity and inclusion as a core value of our company.”

Sawpit Senior Apartments formally opens in Port Chester BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

n affordable housing development in Port Chester targeted for senior citizens had its formal dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony on July 27, with some seniors already having moved in. Westchester County Executive George Latimer along with other county, municipal and state officials were on hand to officially open the Sawpit Senior Apartments at 37 S. Regent St. The name Sawpit Senior Apartments pays tribute to both the village of Port Chester, which before being known as Port Chester was known as the Sawpit, and the classic Italian restaurant Sawpit that had been next door to the site of the new apartments. A new iteration, the restaurant Sergio’s Saw Pit, now operates at 25 S. Regent St. The developer of the affordable housing project is Lou Larizza, whose company is Lazz Development, based in Port Chester. Larizza has created affordable housing projects in many Westchester communities. Lazz repurposed a parking lot that had been used by the adjacent strip mall to become the site of the Sawpit Senior Apartments. Last year, the Housing Action Council

Six of the apartments are designed specifically for people with mobility impairments while two are designed for people with sensory or hearing impairments. Literature showed that rents began at

$619 a month for a one-bedroom unit and $739 for a two-bedroom apartment. Rents topped out at $1,241 for one-bedroom units and $1,484 for a two-bedroom. Income eligibility was limited to $52,860 for a one-person household, $60,420 for two people, $67,970 for three people and $75,480 for four people. Residents must be at least age 62.

Amenities that the building offers include a community room, fitness center, balconies and fully equipped kitchens. New York state’s Commissioner of Housing and Community Renewal (HCR), RuthAnne Visnauskas, placed the cost of the development at $17 million. In May 2019, Latimer announced that $5 million had been awarded to the project in a grant from HCR. The county had already committed $4.3 million in funding for land acquisition and infrastructure. “A developer who has experience in developing affordable housing is not easy to find,” Latimer said. “There are many people out there who do very good development work; they can build buildings 30, 40, 50 stories high in a market that has a sure guarantee of return on investment. You’re seeing a lot of that kind of development going up around train stations across Westchester County with proximity to New York City being the important situation.” Latimer praised Larizza for having the vision and persistence to create the Sawpit project as well as other affordable housing complexes he’s built in Westchester communities such as North Castle and Rye.

Former federal prosecutor David X. Sullivan joins McCarter & English BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

fter a 30-year career as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Connecticut that ended with his retirement in 2019, followed by a 2020 detour in politics as a candidate for Connecticut’s 5th Congressional District, David X. Sullivan came into 2021 at something of a crossroads. “I wasn’t sure what I was going to do,” he said. “I was continuing to teach trial practice at Yale Law School and criminal law at Western Connecticut State.” Earlier this year, the 61-year-old Sullivan fielded an inquiry from McCarter & English LLP, a law firm with offices in Stamford and Hartford. Sullivan recalled he had a “great experience” with the firm’s attorneys on a criminal tax case in 2005 that “resulted in a favorable resolution” for both sides. “I was very impressed with their professionalism and with their legal skills,” he said. Since joining McCarter & English in

mid-July as a partner in business litigation, Sullivan has been very happy with this new chapter in his career. “Everyone, without exception has been wonderful — I was so pleasantly surprised,” he said. “I look forward to really getting to know everyone and develop a practice here.” Sullivan’s practice will concentrate on commercial litigation, with a focus on developing white-collar defense practice. In his new role as a defense attorney, he can transition his prosecutorial skills into developing a fuller understanding of what is at stake. “I spent a lot of my time through my career dealing with the financial component of criminal cases, whether it be asset forfeiture civilly and criminally or the criminal tax components,” he said. “So many times, when people engage in illegal activity and profit is the motive, it is amazing how often that doesn’t seem to find its way to a tax return. I have a second law degree, an LLM (Master of Laws) in taxation, and I think those are good tools to serve me well here at McCarter.” Nonetheless, Sullivan insisted that his

WCBJ

approach to the law has not changed even though he is now in private practice. “Thirty years ago, I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” he said. “I believe in the Constitution and all its amendments. And whether you’re a government attorney, a federal prosecutor or working in the private sector, that is the backdrop to what we do — and everyone should be afforded the same rights and same opportunities under the law. “As a federal prosecutor,” he continued, “so many of the federal judges would always tell us that they would hold us to a higher standard. I always appreciated that, but I think that all attorneys should be held to that very same standard.” Sullivan was briefly in the political spotlight last year as the Republican challenger to Rep. Jahana Hayes, who was seeking re-election for a second term in office. Sullivan said the experience was “very enlightening” and stressed that he based his campaign on a foundation of civility.

“I believe that we can have differences of opinion, diversity of thought and still be one nation,” he said, although he admitted to be uncertain on whether he would want to go through the process again, adding “I think I will always be active, but I certainly couldn’t tell you that I’d ever be a candidate again.” As for giving guidance to the next generation of attorneys, Sullivan noted that he is “routinely writing letters of recommendation for people looking to get internships and just really find their own way with the law.” And while praising the diverse opportunities that a legal career could offer, he held out hope for a new wave of attorneys going into public service. “It was a tremendous experience,” he said. “And whether you have the opportunity to intern or be so fortunate as to get a job as a federal or state prosecutor or public defender, it’s a tremendous experience and it will serve well when you decide to go to the private sector. So, it’s a really a no-lose situation.”

What business owners should know about payroll expenses BY NORMAN G. GRILL

ederal law requires most employers to withhold federal taxes from their employees’ wages. Whether you’re a new business owner or one who has been in business for a while, here is what you need to know about withholding, reporting and paying employment taxes.

Federal income tax Small businesses first need to figure out how much tax to withhold. Small-business employers can better understand the process by starting with an employee’s Form W-4 and the withholding tables described in Publication 15, “Employer’s Tax Guide.” Social security and Medicare taxes Most employers also withhold social security and Medicare taxes from employees’ wages and deposit them along with the employers’ matching share. In 2013, employ-

ers became responsible for withholding the Additional Medicare Tax on wages that exceed a threshold amount. There is no employer match for the Additional Medicare Tax and certain types of wages and compensation are not subject to withholding. Federal unemployment (FUTA) tax Employers report and pay FUTA tax separately from other taxes. Employees do not pay this tax or have it withheld from their pay. Businesses pay FUTA taxes from their own funds. Depositing employment taxes Generally, employers pay employment taxes by making federal tax deposits through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS). The amount of taxes withheld during a prior one-year period determines when to make the deposits. Publication 3151-A, “The ABCs of FTDs: Resource Guide for Understanding Federal Tax Deposits” and the

IRS Tax Calendar for Businesses and SelfEmployed are helpful tools. Failure to make a timely deposit can mean being subject to a penalty of up to 15%. But the penalty can be waived if an employer has a history of filing required returns and making tax payments on time. Reporting employment taxes Generally, employers report wages and compensation paid to an employee by filing the required forms with the IRS. E-filing Forms 940, 941, 943, 944 and 945 is an easy, secure and accurate way to file employment tax forms. Employers filing quarterly tax returns with an estimated total of $1,000 or less for the calendar year may now request to file Form 944, Employer’s Annual Federal Tax Return once a year instead. At the end of the year, the employer must provide employees with Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, to report wages, tips, and other compensation. Small businesses file Forms W-2 and Form

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO EMPLOYEES DURING COVID-19 RECOVERY You need to make sure that they’re healthy and you need to make sure that there’s a sense that you as an employer have their best interests at heart. However, you will find there are circumstances with the potential for employer liability. There are quite a few State, Federal and NYC employment laws you need to be very sensitive to in terms of whether you can compel somebody to come to work…” (Excerpted from the Westchester County Business Journal, Aug. 3.)

Save time, file payroll taxes electronically Running a business with employees can be hard work. Business owners can make things a little easier on themselves by filing payroll and employment taxes electronically. Not only does it save time, but it is also secure and accurate and the filer receives an email to confirm the IRS received the form within 24 hours. While the easiest way to file payroll and employment taxes is to have your tax professional file the forms for you, some employers prefer to do it themselves. Employers submitting the forms themselves will need to buy IRS-approved software. There may be a fee to file electronically. The software will require a signature in one of two ways. The first way is by scanning and attaching Form 8453-EMP, Employment Tax Declaration for an IRS e-file Return. The second is to apply for an online signature PIN. Taxpayers should allow at least 45 days to receive their PIN. The software will prompt the user on the steps needed to request the PIN.. Some of the forms employers can e-file include: • Form 940, Employer’s Annual Federal Unemployment Tax Return — Employers use this form to report annual Federal Unemployment Tax Act tax. • Form 941, Employer’s Quarterly Federal Tax Return — Employers use this form to report income taxes, social security tax or Medicare tax withheld from employees’ paychecks. They also use it to pay their portion of Social Security or Medicare tax. • Form 943, Employer’s Annual Federal Tax Return for Agricultural Employees — Employers file this form if they paid wages to one or more farmworkers and the wages were subject to social security and Medicare taxes or federal income tax withholding. • Form 944, Employer’s Annual Federal Tax Return — Small employers use this form. These are employers whose annual liability for Social Security, Medicare and withheld federal income taxes is $1,000 or less. These employers use this form to file and pay these taxes only once a year instead of every quarter. This article is for information only and should not be considered advice.

Robert Martin sells Tarrytown building for $8.85M BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

s if to underscore what CEO Tim Jones told the Business Journal in a July 21 interview, Robert Martin Co. announced that it has sold one of its properties, a five-story office building in Tarrytown, for $8.85 million. The buyer was not identified. In that interview, Jones told the Business Journal, “We’re always in the market looking for opportunities of a certain type but we’re also willing to be sellers at the right time. “We have some sales transactions that we’re working on right now that are refining the portfolio to what we view as the best long-term investment portfolio for us, which is more focused on residential and industrial and less on office although we have a fair amount of office in our flex parks, too, and that type of office space we see continued demand for.”

Robert Martin is one of the largest real estate management and development firms in Westchester. It has buildings in its portfolio comprising about 6 million square feet of space and also has about 200 acres of developable land. The Tarrytown building at 555 White Plains Road is on 4.2 acres of land and was previously occupied by Tappan Zee Constructors LLC during the construction of the Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge. Built in 1971, the building has been vacant since August 2020. Robert Martin acquired the property in May 2017 for $5.48 million. “This asset sale is in keeping with our strategy of shifting capital to invest in areas of high-growth potential such as industrial/ warehouse properties and multifamily residential development,” Jones said. Robert Martin was represented in the transaction by commercial real estate firm RM Friedland.

Noting that he has worked on projects in 18 different municipalities in Westchester, Larizza said, “Some take longer than others but we continue to push forward to create affordable housing. And, it couldn’t happen without my partner, Mike Martino.” He also praised his wife and other Larizza family members for their efforts.

Norma Drummond, the county’s planning commissioner, said, “It’s always great to work with developers who understand not just the financing of affordable housing and the land use approvals, but understand how important it is to each and every person that’s going to move in the door and call these units home.” County Legislator Nancy Barr emphasized that Westchester County is far short of the number of affordable housing units it needs. “Affordable is usually considered a good word and yet somehow when we talk about in the context of housing it has a different meaning,” Barr said. “Some people think it’s not as good because it has the word affordable in front of it. But, as you can see from the outside and if you get a chance to look inside, in no way is this a place that is any less than any other place you might look at.”

HUDSON VALLEY Christie’s adds Nyack office to Westchester and Hudson Valley roster BY BRIDGET MCCUSKER bmccusker@westfairinc.com

his month, Christie’s International Real Estate of Westchester & Hudson Valley opened its fourth sales gallery in Nyack. The location is at 2-4 Franklin St. After taking over the space in June, agents began to work in person starting in the last week of July. “We are very proud to be opening our sales office in Nyack and to bring the unique Christie’s experience to more customers. Our agents deliver the ultimate customer service to their clients through our unparalleled marketing resources as well as the local and global reach of Christie’s, including our New York City presence,” said Ilija Pavlovic, president and CEO of Christie’s Internattional Real Estate Westchester and Hudson Valley. Christie’s hopes to use the space to fully expand its coverage of Rockland County. “Our main office here in Rockland County is in New City and we decided to open up into Nyack,” said Louise Colonna, manager of the Christie’s Nyack and New City branches and broker of record for Christie’s New York. “It’s a very attractive area, it’s a great walking town, both for residents and for visitors and it has beautiful properties available, which makes Nyack a really natural choice for Christie’s to expand our presence there, so that we can cover the county effectively.” According to Colonna, property advisers and leaders for Christie’s have been selling properties in Nyack for many years now and a physical location was important to cementing their presence in the town and surrounding areas. The Christie’s team also views it as an important way to become a part of the community. The Nyack office will have agents who specialize in the town of Nyack and the surrounding area, but will tie in with sister locations around the Westchester, Hudson Valley and New York metro areas as well, like those in New City, Scarsdale and Chappaqua. It will also be connected to offices in New Jersey and the flagship location at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. The Christie’s network allows properties around Rockland County to be shown to Christie’s clients across the New York metro area, as well as internationally. “I think what you’re going to see is that Nyack is definitely more geared

Louise Colonna toward having agents that are specialized in that area,” along the rivertowns, Colonna said. “But the agents that are there do business all over. And I also think having a presence in Nyack and having people with many of the art and music events, street fairs, the great restaurants and as a walking town, you will have people from all over that do see our presence there.” Christie’s Westchester & Hudson Valley has seen significant growth recently, on par with the current real estate trends of the area. Colonna reported that there are still a number of people looking to move out of the city, or who have opened up to opportunities in the suburbs because of the rise in workfrom-home lifestyles brought on by the pandemic. Though inventory is low, people are still looking to move to the area.

“We’re up about 165% over last year’s business,” Colonna said. “The market continues to be extremely strong in all price points. It’s not just the median sale price, but in all the price points throughout the county. We’re still seeing the multiple bids. People have an interest in the area here that we’re covering.” As for the Christie’s team in Rockland, it has grown from 28 agents to over 40 in the past year working out of the New City office. There are now six dedicated agents in the Nyack office, but Colonna predicts that number will rise to about 20 over the next six to eight months. “New City is the seat of the county, and the presence here is very necessary and can service the entire county,” she said. “The agents that work here in New City for Christie’s with me, they travel and they will go to other areas of the FCBJ

county for both buying and selling. We want to have that presence where we can mirror the other side of the river over in Westchester and support that rivertown community, which has great visibility and very beautiful homes with a water presence. So I think that you’re going to see a big growth pattern in both offices.” It is likely that more growth is ahead for Christie’s in the area, which is predicted to remain hot in the real estate market beyond the present. Luxury listings have done especially well recently, with luxury inventory in Westchester falling to its lowest level in nearly a decade. “I believe we’re a market leader, we are looking to grow and expand, and actually we look at the opportunities that present themselves to us,” Colonna said. “So at this time, you know, we will be expanding, but not any exact locations.” WCBJ

HUDSON VALLEY Stony Point golf course sale goes to referendum

A million-dollar view of the entrance to the Hudson River Highlands from Stony Point’s Patriot Hills golf course. BY KATHY ROBERTS

atriot Hills, an 18-hole golf course that offers winning views and challenges for golfers, has proved costly for the town of Stony Point to maintain. Its 200-plus acres of fairways, greens and paths are in need of remediation, the clubhouse needs upgrading and its catering facility, The Grille Room, was never fully completed and has been closed for nearly three years. Stony Point Supervisor Jim Monaghan said its upkeep is costing taxpayers $1.4 million a year — and that’s just to maintain the property in its current condition. To lower property taxes, the town has unsuccessfully marketed property abutting the golf course that was bought from New York state after Letchworth Village was shut down. Developers who have visited the land were loath to do the remediation work it needed. Great Wolf Lodge, Toll Brothers and others have come and gone, put off by an obstacle too costly to ignore: Letchworth’s century-old buildings, along with its labyrinth of underground tunnels leading from one structure to another, are laden with asbestos and lead paint. The entire 26-acre parcel has a negative value. In 2019, the town proposed an “overlay district” for the Letchworth property, a zoning change that would allow a potential developer to build a hotel/conference center and other buildings on it. Most residents who attended the public hearings favored the change, and the creation of the overlay district paved the way for Patriot Hills Park LLC to make a formal offer for the 26 acres, as well as the golf course.

Composed of Raja Amar, CEO of T-Mobile wholesaler Portables Unlimited Inc. in Nanuet; Brion Hayman, president of Gateway Building Services in Stony Point; and Lawrence Melchionda, COO of Portables Unlimited, Patriot Hills Park LLC entered into a contract of sale with Stony Point earlier this year. Amar and Hayman, who both call the town their home, see it as an investment in their community. Self-made millionaire Amir plans to spend an additional $14 million to bring the golf course up to par with national standards and to remediate two of the Letchworth buildings still in use, while taking down the remainder. Patriot Hills Park LLC has also agreed to build a community center for seniors and to lease Kirkbride Hall back to Stony Point for $1 a year to use for sports and community events. Under new ownership, the golf course would remain open and available to Stony Point residents, and the town’s first responders would be allowed to play for free. Amar, who also is a member of the Rockland County Industrial Development Agency, has recused himself from Patriot Hills LLC’s application for a $7.5 million PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) for the project. That application is still pending. Residents opposed to letting the golf course be transferred into private hands rallied to collect over 500 names on a petition calling for a referendum on the proposal. Attorney Michael Diederich, who is running for town supervisor against incumbent Monaghan in November, is among the petition’s most vocal advocates. Although rejected on a technicality when first submitted, it was eventually approved by Supreme Court WCBJ

Kirkbride Hall, one of the Letchworth Village buildings that has been spared demolition, has been repurposed for sports and community events. Patriot Hills Park LLC is proposing to upgrade the building and lease it back to the town of Stony Point for $1 a year. Photos by Kathy Roberts. Justice Steven Berliner. Diederich said he’s not worried about the property being developed for upscale housing—it’s the specter of high-density housing that he and his cohort fear may happen if the property is sold to private interests. “If Patriot Hills doesn’t get the $7.5 million, they are requesting from the IDA, what then?” asked Diederich, who also wondered if more zoning changes would be in store for the property if it passes into private hands. Monaghan understands residents’ concerns about the future of its golf course, but said the town is steadfast in the resolve to keep the golf course as is. From his perspective as a longtime resident and as town supervisor, Monaghan said the removal and remediation of the former Letchworth build-

ings will help bring much-needed ratables to the town of 15,000. “In its current condition, the Letchworth property has a negative value … and to sell the golf course for any other purpose other than to keep it a golf course is out of the question,” Monaghan said. “Mr. Amir and his partners are committed to this project and in the process of applying for a PILOT, which has strict terms. If approved, that money cannot be used for any other purpose other than what has been proposed. Now it’s up to the voters to make up their minds about what they want to see happen with the property. It’s their decision and I’ll stand by it.” A referendum to retain or sell the golf course will appear on the town’s Nov. 2nd ballot.

Trustee claims Ulster artist-businessman can’t explain his cash flow BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

n Ulster County insurance broker and artist filed records riddled with omissions, a U.S. bankruptcy trustee claims, and he should not be allowed to use bankruptcy to discharge his debts. The trustee, William K. Harrington, sued Paul Geenty in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Poughkeepsie on July 16 for allegedly failing to explain his finances and making false oaths. Analysis of Geenty’s personal and business accounts “calls into question the veracity of the debtor’s testimony under penalty of perjury,” the complaint states, “and has led to the discovery of undisclosed and undocumented assets, debts, transactions and transfers.” Geenty’s bankruptcy attorney, Brian Juran, did not respond to an email asking for his client’s side of the story. Geenty, of West Camp, declared $347,425 in assets and $946,266 in liabilities on a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition filed in June 2020. He showed income of about $23,000 in 2018, but nothing in the following 18 months. The trustee, whose job is to protect the integrity of the system, claims to have found numerous problems with Geenty’s case. For instance, Geenty attested that he was not a sole proprietor of any business, had not used any business names for eight yearsww and had no legal or financial interest in any business-related property. But he also declared that he had been self-employed for six years at GIS Professional Insurance Services and was losing about $4,649 a month from operating a business. He disclosed one checking account on the original petition, but the trustee said 16 personal and business bank and investments accounts have been identified. Geenty controlled at least seven bank accounts in GIS’ name, according to Harrington, to “orchestrate the transfers of millions of dollars” to a personal account. He allegedly withdrew more than $108,000 from a business account in 934 ATM transactions, for example, for personal expenses in the 18 months before he filed the Chapter 7 petition. GIS’ 2019 federal tax return shows $626,154 in receipts and $148,248 in gross profit, but one of its bank accounts shows $950,000 in deposits that year. His failure to produce “implies that neither he nor GIS has maintained accounting records,” the complaint states, “that would shed light on the disposition of the millions of

Paul Geenty dollars that flowed through personal and GIS accounts under the debtor’s control.” The trustee also tripped up Geenty on another possible source of income. He had denied owning any collectibles of value, such as artwork, in the original petition, and he testified at a creditors meeting that the only website he controlled was for GIS. What about the two art websites that include his name, the trustee asked? Geenty responded that he is an amateur artist, according to the complaint, and he admitted the existence of one site but denied knowledge of the other. Eventually, he admitted that he had sold some artwork through one of the websites and still had eight paintings. The trustee alleges that there are 35 paintings “of unknown value,” including eight that were marked as sold on a website. Geenty also stated in the original petition that he had not transferred any property to anyone in the months before he filed for bankruptcy. Later, he disclosed on an amended form that he had transferred a 2018 Porsche Macon to an individual, but did not explain his relationship to the woman or say how much she paid for the car. The trustee says Geenty deposited $38,000 from the recipient of the car. But he depicted the transfer as a gift to a friend on a state tax form. To clear up the discrepancy, Geenty’s lawyer purportedly said the Porsche was listed as a gift on the tax form to minimize taxes and fees. “This ongoing and pervasive pattern of dishonesty,” the complaint states, “is evidence that the debtor made false statements under penalty of perjury with fraudulent intent and reckless disregard for the truth.” The millions of dollars that flowed through Geenty’s business and personal accounts, the trustee argues, “could have been used to pay down personal and business debt.”

A rendering of the apartments proposed for 134 E. Main St.

Former Mount Kisco trustee pitches apartments next to closed movie theater BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

he Mount Kisco Planning Board has taken another step in its review of a proposal from a former village trustee to construct an apartment building next to the now-closed Mt. Kisco Theatre on Main Street. The 8,375-square-foot movie theater at 144 E. Main St. has been listed for sale since Bow Tie Cinemas closed it in March 2019 due to Covid-19. It has about 600 seats and was divided over the years to have five movie screens. The proposed apartment site is at 134 E. Main St., on a 12,960-square-foot lot. The rear of the proposed apartment building would face the Blackeby Place parking lot. The new building would be set behind a one-story retail structure on Main Street that is occupied by AT&T and Frannie’s Goodie Shop. The proposed structure would have 16 apartments and would be accessed using a vestibule on the ground level just off a wide passageway running from Main Street alongside of the theater to the parking lot area. There would be three resi-

dential floors built over a 16-space parking lot for residents’ vehicles. Terraces for apartments would extend slightly into the airspace of the retail building. The property owner and developer is Isi Albanese, who is a restaurant consultant and managing partner of Exit 4 Food Hall in Mount Kisco at 153 E. Main St. that features nine different food stations. Albanese served on the Mount Kisco Board of Trustees from December 2017 to December 2019. The village’s Planning Board has decided to act as lead agency for the environmental review of Albanese’s proposed apartment building. Albanese’s property is in the CB-2 Zoning District, within a “form-based” Downtown Overlay District (DOD) that offers f lexible development criteria intended to encourage mixed-use development and redevelopment. Albanese proposed that 750 square feet of his property next to the paved walkway could be developed as public space in combination with village-owned property to stimulate activity in the area. He expressed a hope that the movie theater would reopen as some sort of enter-

tainment facility. Architect Gregg DeAngelis of Envirospace Architecture told the planning board that the proposed building’s green roof would be equipped with solar panels to generate electricity while also offering residents recreational space to “look out over Main Street and the Blackeby lot.” He said that the project fits nicely into the overlay district. “It’s walking distance to the train station, right in town and there’s a lot of excitement and activity around this,” DeAngelis said. Planning Board Chairman John Bainlardi said, “At this point there’s nothing objectionable that’s jumping off the page at me,” a sentiment that was echoed by Board Member William Polese. Planning Board Member Ralph Vigliotti questioned why the apartment building was being constructed behind the retail structure and not on top of it. Albanese explained, “If you’re building on top, the structure that’s there now is not going to hold a three-story building, so we would have to close down AT&T, close down Frannie’s.” Vigliotti also expressed concern FCBJ

that the area between Main Street and Blackeby could become so popular that all of the activity left no room for people to walk along the passageway. “The plans I saw look terrific but I just want to make sure that umbrellas and tables and chairs and benches don’t get in the way of people trying to use that as a walkway and that it’s wide enough to accommodate as a travel lane,” Vigliotti said. Bainlardi noted that the developer was planning to meet with village staff to go over the plans and resolve issues related to items such as setbacks, parking requirements and ADA compliance for public rights-of-way. Westchester County’s planning board found that the proposal is generally consistent with the county’s long-range planning policies and “will add to the range of housing types available in a downtown area that is walkable to businesses, services and public transit.” It encouraged Mount Kisco to work with the applicant to try to bring as many affordable units into the project as possible. The county also suggested adding a bicycle parking area for residents. WCBJ

Developer demands $2M for defective plumbing at Chappaqua affordable housing project BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

he developer of subsidized housing in Chappaqua is demanding nearly $2 million from a contractor who allegedly installed defective water and sewer lines. Chappaqua Station LLC sued MVM Construction of Mount Vernon and Aegis Security Insurance Co., a Harrisburg bonding company that guaranteed MVM’s job performance, July 14 in Westchester Supreme Court. Chappaqua Station was “damaged by MVM’s deficient and defective performance,” the lawsuit states, and “Aegis is liable to Chappaqua for all of its damages incurred as a result of MVM’s failure to perform.”

The 28-apartment building at 54 Hunts Place is on a tight, one-third-acre site between the Metro-North Railroad tracks and Saw Mill River Parkway in Chappaqua. Westchester County bought the property in 2016 to fulfill part of its obligation under a 2009 federal decree to build affordable housing in predominantly white communities. The county made a deal with Conifer Realty, a Rochester affordable housing developer that owns Chappaqua Station LLC, to develop the apartment building. In 2018, the county awarded MVM a $1.3 million contract to build the water and sewer infrastructure. MVM did not employ licensed master plumbers as required for sewer work under county regulations, according to the com-

plaint. Then, to get a work permit, MVM belatedly hired MJS Plumbing & Heating Inc. of Cold Spring to act as its licensed plumber. MVM did the plumbing work but backfilled the pipes, according to the complaint, concealing them before they could be inspected and tested. The water lines failed pressure tests. MVM tried to fix leaks and retest the sprinkler line and fire department connection in January 2019. But water was not drained from the lines, the complaint states, and the pipes froze, “raising questions of structural integrity.” MJS Plumbing concluded that the work was so deficient that the infrastructure had to be replaced. MJS began removing a water line in February 2019 and discovered that the stormwater and sanitary sewer lines were also installed incorrectly, according to the complaint. MJS decided that it could no longer be involved in the project as licensed plumber of record “due to the extent of the deficiencies.” Conifer claims that the water line, sprinkler line, fire department connection, and stormwater and sanitary utilities were defective. Steel pipes were used instead of cementlined iron pipes, for example. Pipes were installed at improper angles. Liquid nails and adhesives were used improperly to connect pipes. Conifer says it incurred delays; additional costs for labor, insurance and loans; and loss of rental income because of defective work by MVM. It is demanding $1,923,585 from MVM and Aegis for alleged breaches of contract and breaches of bond. Neither Frank Cara, a lawyer who has represented MVM, nor Aegis responded to emails requesting their sides of the story. Conifer is represented by Rochester attorney John W. Dreste.

ENGAGING NEW EXHIBIT AT JOSELOFF GALLERY Art aficionados are eagerly anticipating the fall season with the grand re-opening of museums, galleries and theaters in New York City and in not-too-faraway, the renowned Joseloff Gallery at the University of Hartford in West Hartford. It will be opening its doors for the eighth International Distinguished Artists Symposium and Exhibition from Oct. 25 to Dec. 5. This year’s theme — Fiction, Fabulation, Futurity — explores environmental degradation, racial injustice and pandemics. “The fine arts sector has been one of the hardest hit by the pandemic,” said Rico Reyes, curator and director of the Hartford Art School Galleries at the University of Hartford. “After being deprived of traditional artistic venues for the past year and

half, combined with stressful social circumstances, we knew that we needed to create an exciting and powerful program that was accessible to everyone.” Featured art exhibits at the Joseloff Gallery will include the works of Lynda Barry, Amy Franceschini, Nicholas Galanin, Chitra Ganesh, Dr. Gora Parasit and Gabriel Rico. “Whether you’re an art lover or a community member simply seeking a stimulating, social experience out of the house, our Fiction, Fabulation, Futurity event will be the must-attend fall extravaganza of the season,” said Reyes.

According to the “Caregiving in the U.S. 2020 Report,” more than one in five Americans is acting as a caregiver to a loved one. Connecticut homecare agency Assisted Living Services Inc. (ALS), an award-winning agency, is caring for caregivers by offering them resources they can use. “Nothing quite prepares you for the

stress of becoming a caregiver for a family member,” said Mario D’Aquila, COO of ALS in Cheshire, Fairfield and Clinton. D’Aquila highlights a state program that can alleviate the financial burden of family caregivers who often have to cut back on working hours, take a leave of absence or quit their job entirely. The Connecticut Department of Social Services

added The Adult Family Living/Foster Care Program in 2013 under the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders and the Personal Care Assistance Waiver Program for which ALS is a credentialed provider. “Our role in the AFL program is to provide on-going support for caregivers, including access to a dedicated senior care professional.

Friendship among people, countries and cultures can inspire peace efforts and build bridges among communities – it also inspired the creation of the International Day of Friendship celebration. A day, which encourages young people to act as leaders, get involved in activities that include different cultures and promote respect for diversity. Chloe Wise and Sriya Krishnan, two Rye Country Day school students, solidi-

fied their friendship through volunteer work with the global nonprofit Operation Smile. After discovering the nonprofit Wise and Krishnan presented the club idea to their school student government “and the rest is history.” “…Operation Smile has not only given us the opportunity to make an impact on people’s lives, but it has also brought us closer together and made our friendship

stronger,” said Krishnan. Operation Smile revolutionized cleft surgery globally in 1982. With nearly four decades of experience as one of the largest surgical volunteer-based nonprofits, Operation Smile staff, its private-public partnerships and thousands of volunteers have improved the health and dignity of patients with cleft conditions, helping them to better breathe, eat, speak and live lives of greater quality and confidence.

LITERACY, LOVE AND INCLUSION Inspired by the 31st anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla, commemorated the Act with onsite activities. More than 50 patients from Blythedale’s Day Hospital, Mount Pleasant Blythedale School and Inpatient Program joined neurodiverse author Lindsey Rowe Parker in the reading of her new children’s book “Wiggles, Stomps, and Squeezes Calm My Jitters Down,” a story which follows a young girl with heightened sensory experiences through her day with fun, interactive sounds and motions. The hospital’s departments teamed up to identify books with diverse protagonists and get them into the hands and homes of patients as part of a literacy outreach campaign for kids with varying abilities. “Inspired by the Americans with Disabilities Act movement, we are also adapting some of the books at Blythedale to increase access for all kids who may have physical, cognitive or verbal differences that make a standard book inaccessible,”

PEDIATRIC OFFICES RETURNING TO INPERSON VISITS Over the last 18 months, telehealth provided a critical bridge for patients hoping to connect with their doctors while avoiding in-person visits to their providers’ offices for fear of exposure to Covid-19. Open Door Family Medical Center pediatricians like Dr. Andrew Swiderski found connecting by telephone, through video or the exchange of photos, helpful in engaging the parents of his young patients. When telehealth did not suffice, he met patients in the parking lot next to his Ossining Open Door office or under the awning of nearby retailers. According to Swiderski, most parents now want to return to some degree of not only in-person schooling, but also in-person doctors’ visits. “While telehealth allows patients and their parents to connect with providers,” he said, “it does not replace regular screenings when vaccinations need to be given, milestones measured or tests administered.” Dr. Sharon Joseph, a pediatrician at Open Door’s Port Chester site, also believes that telehealth has a permanent place in patient care but cannot always take the place of face-to-face visits. Permanent changes have been made at Open Door’s offices to isolate acute patients and emphasize infection control awareness. “There is a whole new world and a lot of progress has been made. We’re getting back to normal, but it’s certainly not the same,” said Swiderski.
