Frito-Lay, one of Purchasebased PepsiCo’s brands, wants to build a $100 million, 157,907-square-foot fulfillment center in East Fishkill that would be used for warehousing and distribution of its various products that include, among others, Lays potato chips, Doritos tortilla chips and Fritos corn chips.

The East Fishkill Town Board has scheduled a joint public hearing on the proposal with its Planning

Board for Sept. 23. Whether the hearing will be highlighted by public support for the project or opposition remains a matter for speculation.

An application to build the project was filed with the town by Rolling FritoLay Sales LP, a subsidiary of PepsiCo. It would be located in National Resources’ iPark 84, the 300-acre former IBM East campus at Exit 50 of Interstate 84.

Confidential discussions had been taking place with the town regarding the proposal before the application was filed. The proposal was given the name “Project Niagara” to avoid publicly identifying Frito-Lay or PepsiCo. The disclosure at the Town Board’s Aug. 26 meeting that Frito-Lay was the

project’s applicant brought questions from a member of the public, East Fishkill resident Eric Eckley about why Frito-Lay’s involveTWB Loan Decision ment wasn’t disclosed from Banner Ad the beginning.

Nation’s largest cannabis company says get medical card ahead of retail rollout

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

lthough recreational marijuana retail stores are unlikely to open in Connecticut or New York until next year, the nation’s

largest cannabis operator is encouraging interested adults to beat the presumed rush by getting their medical marijuana cards now.

That way, Curaleaf says, such customers will have a leg up on those choosing to wait until retail stores

open, having already secured a card that can be used for both medical and recreational cannabis.

“A lot of people in both states are definitely interested in (recreational) cannabis,” Curaleaf » WHY WAIT?

Carolina M. Osorio, owner of CP Servicios Latinos

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

C

arolina M. Osorio came to the U.S. from Colombia when she was 10 years old, and during her youth she gained a fascination with language and communications.

“When I was younger, my dream was to be a writer and travel the world while working for a magazine,” she said.

While Osorio has yet to achieve the goal of a globetrotting wordsmith, she has used her appreciation of language to create a business that uses words to provide often-vulnerable individuals with much-needed assistance.

As the founder of the Norwalkbased CP Servicios Latinos, Osorio provides both her bilingual skills in offering translation services for Fairfield County’s Latino community as well as an understanding of the federal, state and nonprofit resources that can help this community in a myriad of legal, social and economic matters.

“I come with a professional background in social work, community outreach and also legal work,” she explained. “In all of the work that I’ve done with nonprofit

organizations and the legal offices where I’ve worked for more than 17 years, the focus has always been with the Latino community.”

Osorio’s background included community education outreach for a domestic violence agency, where she worked with Latino organizations, churches and other entities in educating them about the resources for assistance against home-based abuse. She also worked as a family violence victim advocate, helping individuals in both criminal and civil court cases.

“That was the starting point of my passion for learning about all of these programs and resources,” she said.

Osorio launched CP Servicios Latinos unofficially in 2017, offering educational and informational outreach to help the Spanish-speaking community apply for federal and state benefits while offering an overview on matters related to consumer, labor and housing laws — her work as a paralegal in a law firm helped widen her understanding of those issues, which she is able to share on a consultative basis.

She registered her business as a full-time endeavor in 2020, and while acknowledging her first year was “tough” due to the pandemic

Carolina M. Osorio she also noted that many people whom she assisted in her earlier work have followed her to become clients.

Over the past four years, Osorio has witnessed a growing level of awareness and self-respect for a demographic that often felt marginalized by the wider society.

“Our community has become more aware they don’t have to stay silent,” she said. “If there is an issue that can be resolved, it’s just a matter of knowing the programs that are available and how these processes work.”

Osorio described the marketing of her services as “old-fashioned,” with postcards and business cards placed in Latino restaurants and

retail stores. But she is cutting edge in hosting webinars on Facebook and Instagram to highlight the complexities of various legal processes that frequently baffle people.

“For example, when there is a possible eviction, I explain the eviction processes and how to be on the lookout for how to avoid being illegally evicted,” she said. “I also provide a lot of information about labor — there are a lot of employers that take advantage of people and will hire someone to work for them regardless of their legal status and then they will pay them poorly. So, I am explaining to them how to file a complaint for wages with the Department of Labor.

“I also do sessions about how individuals can file for divorce or child custody or child support, or if they’re going to need a restraining order in domestic violence cases,” she added.

Looking ahead, Osorio would like to pursue a law school education to further enhance her skillset. She is also hoping to grow CP Servicios Latinos from a Fairfield County-based business into a national organization.

“I have a high percentage of clients that are from other states,” she said.

These have been our choices for businesses and nonprofits that are Making an Impact in our communities.

Rye Brook lawyer sued over ‘uninhabitable’ $150K vacation rental

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

R

odney P. Seelig expected an “immaculate” country home when he paid $150,000 for a threemonth vacation rental, but he claims he got an uninhabitable property instead.

Seelig, of New York City, sued Rye Brook lawyer Vincent A. DeIorio, the trustee of the entity that owns the property, Aug. 17 in Westchester Supreme Court.

Seelig said he prepaid the entire $150,000 rent and a $40,000 security deposit to lease Evergreen Pines in Ancram, Columbia County, from June 2 through Sept. 8.

Evergreen Pines is owned by a trust established by Pat Armentano, founder of Paraco Gas Corp. of Rye Brook, who died in 2010. The trust is not named as a defendant.

The 91-acre property on Doodletown Road features a four-bedroom log chateau, four-bedroom guest house, entertainment barn, pool house and heat-

ed swimming pool, tennis court, bocce court, gazebos and a pond, two hours from New York City.

The landlord pledged to deliver the property “as is,” according to the complaint, and Seelig did a walk through on Jan. 29 with the landlord’s representative. Based on what he saw, he signed the lease on Feb. 16.

But when he arrived on June 2, he claims, the property had deteriorated dramatically.

The portico and porch were infested with nesting birds, the lawsuit states, and “abundant excrement” smeared the house, outdoor lights and window frames.

An office was allegedly blocked with junk, closets were filled with garbage, carpenter bees infested the front balcony and pool house, the pool was dirty and unusable, window blinds had been torn down, many lights had been removed or were inoperable.

Seelig says he was told that some of the conditions would be remedied after the representative spoke with the

landlord. Then he received a letter from DeIorio framing the issue as Seelig’s choice not to occupy the property.

The security deposit was returned, the complaint states, and DeIorio promised to try to rent the property and credit Seelig’s account.

Seelig said the landlord has made insufficient efforts to rent the property.

He demanded an immediate $150,000 refund, according to the complaint, but the landlord has refused to do so.

He accuses DeIorio of breach of lease and unjust enrichment.

DeIorio did not immediately respond to messages asking for his side of the story.

Seelig is represented by White Plains attorneys James K. Landau and Allegra P. Beals.

Evergreen Pines was put on the market in 2019 for $3.3 million, according to Zillow, and now the asking price is $2.75 million.

Ridgefield weighs the pros and cons of cannabis retailing

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

R

idgefield’s Economic & Community Development Commission invited established cannabis retailers and policy makers from Massachusetts and California to a special online meeting Aug. 30 to hear the benefits and challenges that could arise if the town gave its approval for the opening of marijuana retail stores.

And what did they learn?

Setting up cannabis retail comes with a lot of variables.

Meg Sanders, CEO of Canna Provisions, a cannabis retailer in Massachusetts, cautioned the commission that making money in this sector of the retail industry was heavy with obstacles created by the regulatory oversight in place.

She observed that while the legalization of marijuana in Massachusetts — which was approved by voters in 2016 — sparked a great deal of interest among potential retailers, “very few applicants have made it through the process,” adding that many wouldbe entrepreneurs would face sticker shock for upfront costs.

“One of the things that I think is critical to remember is this is a business where a lot of money’s invested in order to open,” she said, citing the costs of security systems to the staffing needed to ensure inventory is handled and consumers are not underage.

“And with the heavy taxation burden that exists in this industry because it’s not federally legal yet, we have a massive burden. We are not allowed to take any normal business deductions except for cost of goods — payroll, rent, insurance, all of these things normal businesses pay we cannot deduct from our taxes. So, you can imagine what our tax burden is — it’s enormous.”

Connecticut state Sen. Will Haskell, whose district includes Ridgefield, supported the cannabis legalization bill that Gov. Ned Lamont signed into law in June but noted that it comes with some significant caveats, including an age restriction on sales to individuals 21 and older, restrictions on the use of mass media for advertising and limits on what constitutes legal possession for both the number of cannabis plants on residential property — three mature plants and three immature plants per person, with a maximum of 12 plants per household — and the possession levels of

“If you’re in possession of more than one-and-a-half ounces, but less than five ounces, then you’re subject to a first-offense fine of $100, a second-offense fine of $250 and so on,” he said. “If you’re in possession of even greater amounts, well then there’s greater fines. The first offense is $500, the second offense is a Class C misdemeanor. And then there are other crimes that remain in place like those who are growing illegally, manufacturing illegally and the intent to sell to somebody who’s under 21 — those are all additionally considered a crime under our new statute.”

While predicting cannabis will be “one of the most regulated industries in the country,” Haskell noted that a disproportionate number of minorities went to prison for marijuana possession in the pre-legalization era and he warned that he did not want to see this sector controlled by “a whole bunch of corporations predominantly owned by folks who are white who all of a sudden become millionaires on the backs of a failed war on drugs that negatively impacted so many comFCBJ

WCBJ

munities.”

Arthur Wylene, general counsel of the Rural County Representatives of California, discussed his state’s efforts to launch and maintain a cannabis retail sector and stressed that not every locality is right for such retailing, but those that succeeded understood the needs of this offering.

“With great control comes great responsibility,” he said. “We were quite successful in California getting a fairly high level of local control. But we found that certainly the choices we make collectively can have an effect on that statewide dynamic, both on the market and on the political repercussions in future legislative and regulatory activity.

“If local jurisdictions have negative press articles about how they have not regulated, that rebound one way,” he said. “Whereas on the other hand, if jurisdictions sort of reflexively say ‘No, we don’t want commercial cannabis activities, we don’t want retail, we don’t want a cultivation,’ that in turn generates pressure at the state level to override the local bans. And we see

those bills probably once every couple of years in California.”

Wylene also advised his Ridgefield audience that his state’s experience might not fit into their situation.

“Connecticut isn’t California, and California isn’t Massachusetts, and Massachusetts isn’t Colorado,” he said. “Each of those states faces different conditions and decisions at the state level that, in turn, affect how local governments react.

“In California, the level of local control that we have, particularly in the fiscal realm, is a lot higher than Connecticut municipalities have. We don’t have limits on local taxation that requires a vote of the people to impose any tax but with a vote of the people — you can tax cannabis businesses almost without limit.”

Sarah Dukett, legislative advocate for Rural County Representatives of California, echoed Wylene’s comments but adding that creating a cannabis retail environment is an act of trial-and-error.

“Another thing just to keep in mind is you won’t get it right the first time,” she said. “No ordinance is

going to be perfect, no state regulation is going to be perfect. It’s going to be a learning process, and there’s going to be a lot of changes especially early on (as) they start to develop their state regulatory system.”

Dukett added that “not getting it right the first time is okay” because the cannabis industry itself is a work in progress.

“A robust regulatory framework does not happen overnight,” she said. “It’s going to take time to have that setup and to have a whole entire licensing process set up. And even if you decide to say yes, to get your own rules in order finding the right business for your community, it’s going to take time and you need to be prepared to pivot and make changes and be flexible.”

And as for those who think cannabis will bring quick revenue into the town, Dukett cautioned to “keep your expectations modest” and to be patient when expecting positive results.

“You’re not going to see a public benefit payoff right away,” she said.

“Maybe take the time to do a little revenue projection — that’s a little bit more realistic.”

Thinking small: Port Chester development to have just eight apartments

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

newly proposed residential development for 121 Poningo St. in Port Chester is the antithesis of several sizable projects that have either been proposed or are under construction in the village.

Developer 67 Purdy Avenue LLC proposes a three-story building that would have eight apartments. Two of the units would be studios, two would be one-bedroom and the remaining four would have two bedrooms.

The developer bought the land that would be used from individual owners on Feb. 24 of this year for $117,000, according to documents on file with the Westchester County Clerk’s Office.

The lot is approximately 0.14-acre and has approximately 58 feet of frontage on the eastern side of Poningo Street. It is about 1,000 feet from the Metro-North Railroad Station.

According to a submission by attorney Daniel Patrick of the White Plains-based law firm Cuddy & Feder, the developer would like to be able to create all eight units in the building as affordable housing, renting to people earning 60% of the county’s average median income. Patrick said the developer has been in touch with the county regarding

Rendering of building proposed for 121 Poningo St. its affordable housing programs.

The residential units would be on the second and third floors of the building. Parking and the lobby space would be on the ground level. There would be six parking spaces provided in the building. The parking area would have finished walls and fenced openings that allow natural light in along with air circulation.

Patrick said that the building can be done as-of-right in the CD-4 District that permits multifamily dwellings. There is a mix of sin-

gle-family, multifamily and commercial properties in the neighborhood. Just to the north of the development site is a 53-unit apartment building at 125-131 Poningo St. At the rear of the property is a 56-unit building at 264-268 King St. Patrick said that the proposal fits with the village’s goals as expressed in its comprehensive plan.

“The proposal provides quality housing opportunities at affordable prices, maintains the village’s residential neighborhoods and

encourages a balanced range of housing types and densities in the village,” Patrick said, characterizing the proposal as offering both transit-oriented development and affordable housing.

“The streetscape will be improved by the replacement of the existing vacant, undeveloped lot with an attractive new architectural dooryard frontage. The proposed development will not have a significant adverse impact on parking,” Patrick said.

In a review of the proposal prepared for the village, the White Plains-based environmental, planning and engineering consulting firm AKRF said that the parking spaces provided inside the building are too small and need to be expanded from the proposed 18-foot length to 21 feet in order to meet village standards. AKRF said that the traffic impacts from the project would be minimal.

It said the developer needs to make clear whether the building would have a full basement and that the ceiling heights, shown as being six feet, do not meet standards and must be between nine feet and 11 feet. AKRF found that some variances may be required for things such as the pitch of the roof and the building not being positioned parallel to the street.

The Port Chester Planning Commission was expected to take up the proposal at its Aug. 30 meeting.

ahead with a project. East Fishkill Town Supervisor Nicholas D’Alessandro disclosed that the town had to sign a nondisclosure agreement that was in effect while preliminary talks between the town and the applicant were underway. Wood said that since the formal application has been accepted by the Town Board the matter is now public.

Frito-Lay is seeking an economic redevelopment special-use permit for the warehouse, which would be built on what is now an empty parking lot.

Attorney Jennifer Gray of the law firm Keane & Beane, which has offices in East Fishkill, White Plains and New York City, representing the applicant, said, “Frito-Lay looks forward to bringing good jobs and tax revenue to the town by redeveloping and revitalizing this empty parking lot as it exists today. “ She explained that a subdivision of most of the campus had taken place in 2017 and that Frito-Lay is proposing to take a portion of Lot 2 from the subdivision and a portion of Lot 3 and combine them to make a 28.4acre site for the project.

Gray said that Frito-Lay is the contract vendee for the property. She said that in addition to the fulfillment center there would be two other structures: a guardhouse and a fleet center.

Why wait?—

Dispensary Manager Stacia Woodcock told the Business Journal. “But they haven’t gotten their medical card. They don’t have to wait what could be one, one-and-a-half years — they can go through the medical program now and still participate once adult-use cannabis comes on the market.”

While that may sound legally dubious, she said that a general easing of what constitutes a medical reason for using marijuana has taken place around the country.

“A doctor today can essentially certify for any reason they see fit,” said Woodcock, a onetime pharmacist and pharmacy manager at Walgreens in New York City. “That opens it up for a lot of people. So many people are coming out of Covid-19 with PTSD, anxiety and other conditions, and they’re looking for more holistic approaches to what they’re doing and how they’re living.”

While many people think medical marijuana is still used primarily to treat such conditions as glaucoma, arthritis and a host of other debilitating diseases, “chronic pain” is indeed listed by both the Connecticut and the New York Departments of Consumer Protection as qualifying conditions — with some qualifications.

New York defines “chronic pain” as that which “degrades the health and functional capability of the patient.” Connecticut requires chronic pain “of at least 6 months duration associated with a specified underlying chronic condition refractory to other treatment intervention.”

“The fulfillment center will utilize hightech equipment to fulfill direct customer orders. It will have within it what is called an ASRS, an automated storage and retrieval system,” Gray said.

She described the ASRS as a tall piece of machinery used to optimize the gathering of products for shipment while allowing for an efficient use of space.

“Because of that a portion of the building will need to be raised to be 85 feet in height,” Gray said, explaining they are seeking “a waiver to go from 80 feet to 85 feet just for that portion, about 25% of the building, for that machinery.” Most of the building would be about 50 feet in height.

Gray said that the fleet center would provide service and maintenance for vehicles that transport the products to and from the facility. The guardhouse would be a staffed checkpoint for vehicles coming and going.

Gray said that site plan and subdivision approvals would be needed from the town’s Planning Board. She said that a full environmental assessment form has been submitted that includes several studies, including traffic and noise.

“We are confident that the studies will demonstrate that the project will not result in any significant adverse environmental

Nevertheless, Woodcock said, “Practically anyone over 35 has chronic pain of some kind, and they may not want to be taking an opioid or Advil every day.”

Headquartered in Wakefield, Massachusetts, Curaleaf — which has four medical marijuana operations each in Connecticut (including Stamford) and New York (including Newburgh) — expects to triple its cannabis production output in the Nutmeg State once regulations are finalized, at which point it may also add more retail stores.

There is plenty of money to be made in both medical and recreational cannabis.

Curaleaf is the dominant force, with a market cap of $8.23 billion dwarfing that of its nearest competitor, Canadian firm Canopy Growth, at $6.83 billion.

Curaleaf ’s second-quarter earnings were $312 million, up 20% sequentially and 166% year-over-year. At its Aug. 9 earnings call, Executive Chairman Boris Jordan noted that the expansion of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey through legislation represents “a potential new $8 billion annual addressable market opportunity.”

According to a Statista report published last October, U.S. medical marijuana sales could reach nearly $12 million in the U.S. On Aug. 25, Market Research Future reported that the medical cannabis market is anticipated to register a compound annual growth rate of 18.4% to achieve a value of $33.2 billion by 2027.

impact,” Gray said.

She said Frito-Lay anticipates that 80 construction jobs would be created along with approximately 80 permanent jobs.

She said that the pay level for the permanent jobs would be above the average for Dutchess County, but did not give a dollar amount.

Gray pointed out that while the project is expected to represent a $100 million investment and generate tax revenues, it would not create an added burden on the local school system.

The fulfillment center would have 20 loading docks. There would be 100 parking spaces for truck trailers and 13 parking spaces for the tractor portion of the rigs. The plan calls for 108 parking spaces for cars.

It’s estimated there would be 36 people working in the fulfillment center at any given time, and a maximum of 72 workers on the site during a shift change that would occur at 4 a.m.

Eckley charged that it seemed as if the town was rushing the project toward approval and Wood countered, “Tonight is step one, receiving and filing the application. It’s then referred. There will be a joint public hearing. There will then be another series of open public hearings leading up to maybe approval maybe denial of the

application. So, there is a public process. It will be fully vetted. It’s not slam dunk, fully done. There is a public process and it will be fully vetted.”

In a news release, D’Alessandro said, in part, “The development is part of the town board’s economic development plans and strategic zoning changes from the past several years, which were made to secure projects of this caliber. This project will bring significant benefits not only to our local community but the entire region. We are continuing the largest redevelopment era in East Fishkill’s history. The town government will continue to work with the public and private entities to keep East Fishkill a great place to live.”

Greenwich-based National Resources owns iPark 84, where there has been development interest in addition to that shown

by Frito-Lay. The company has been working with Michelson Studios on a plan to create more film and TV studios, in addition to the 52,500-square-foot soundstage that recently opened. There would be eight new soundstages, six of them 30,000 square feet each with 40-foot ceilings, two at 15,000 square feet each with 40-foot ceilings and a 10-acre backlot. Amazon is working on 630,000-square-foot warehouse to be built on the nearby former IBM West campus.

that the state could earn $4.1 million in state and local marijuana taxes for fiscal year 2022, which would rise to $73.4 million by FY 2026.

New York Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli’s office is estimating the Empire State will take in $20 million in marijuana tax revenue in fiscal year 2022, increasing to $245 million by FY 2024.

Woodcock said another factor playing into the windfall is the fact that legalization should effectively end the sector’s black market.

“You have access to a registered pharmacist with expertise in a dispensary,” she said. “And they’re selling regulated products that are tested and consistent, with the same potency, and you know exactly what’s

in it — as opposed to buying something off the street that’s been grown in a basement where rat poison is present.”

Woodcock also emphasized that the new line of marijuana products coming to market are not limited to smoking or other inhalant measures. While gummies and oils have become more familiar, Curaleaf is rolling out Select Squeeze, which allows a consumer to pour a 5mg dose of THC into the beverage of their choice.

Effects of the product — which comes in lemon-lime, watermelon, strawberry-lemonade and “hint of sweet” flavors — can be felt in about 15 minutes, Woodcock said.

As for the immediate future, Curaleaf continues to wait for social equity issues related to recreational marijuana to be ironed out. But Woodcock said reciprocity laws in New York — whereby a resident can legally buy cannabis products in 16 states and D.C. — should further help move the ball forward. (Connecticut does not acknowledge medical marijuana cards from any other state.)

“It’s still illegal at the federal level,” she noted. “But we’re seeing some movement there as well.”

Indeed, U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-New York) has introduced a draft bill, the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act, which would legalize cannabis at the federal level. A recent Pew Research Center poll found that about 60% of Americans favor legalizing marijuana for both medical and recreational use.

“People are a little more hesitant to travel at this point, especially by air,” the president of the Connecticut Convention & Sports Bureau told the Business Journal. “But Connecticut doesn’t have venues the size of what you see in places like New York City and Las Vegas, so even though we’re being affected, we’re being less affected.”

Murdock noted the New York International Auto Show at the Jacob K. Javits Center in Manhattan — which organizers say typically pumps some $300 million into the area’s economy — was recently canceled for the second consecutive year.

Also canceled over the past few weeks were the National Rif le Association’s annual meeting in Houston, due to the high Covid rates in Texas — almost 93% of ICU beds in the state were in use as of

Aug. 25 — and the New Orleans Jazz Fest, sidelined for the second consecutive year after being moved from April/May to October. It too was called off due to a rise in Covid cases, although the recent damage from Hurricane Ida may have forced organizers’ hands anyway.

Meanwhile, air travelers are indeed cutting back this fall — and not just because their children are going back to school. According to Adobe Analytics, U.S. consumers spent $6 billion on domestic flights in June, just 5% below pre-pandemic levels.

But as the Delta variant continued to wreak more havoc, those numbers quickly fell: July domestic flight bookings were down 13%, and from Aug. 1 to 21 they were down 33% compared to the same period in 2019.

Murdock said that while Connecticut’s events business relies heavily on air travelers, the CTCSB is now refocusing its efforts to attract those able to travel here by car.

“Our message is that Connecticut is a safe, convenient and affordable option that’s not as urban as the metro New York area,” he said. “People may be hesitant to fly but if they still want to have WCBJ

a meeting, they can choose somewhere that’s less crowded.

“It’s the same mentality that we saw with so many people moving here from New York,” he continued. “And we can offer everything from large meeting spaces to smaller, historic spots — we have something for everyone.”

The bureau is thus focusing its marketing on the metro New York, New England and Philadelphia markets, he said.

Even so, Murdock said the overall picture for the sector remains cloudy.

He noted a late August report by marketing firm Longwoods International that found over 60% of travelers saying the coronavirus was altering their travel plans, up from 43% in June. One in five have postponed trips until later this year, while one is six have postponed until 2022, the report said.

In July, Connecticut’s events sector had its best month since the initial Covid outbreak, he said, estimating that it is still about 10% lower than it was in the summer of 2019. “That’s been encouraging,” Murdock said, classifying fiscal year 2021 — which ran from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 — as having the potential to

be one of CTCSB’s best ever before Covid took its toll.

As for the CTCSB moniker: It’s staying, but the organization last month instituted “a major brand refresh” with a new logo, CTmeetings, and all staff email addresses will change to include the “@ ctmeetings.org” domain. The organization changed its website to ctmeetings. org several weeks before.

“It was the way to align all of the different elements of what we do,” Murdock said. “The (Connecticut Office of) Tourism’s website is ‘ctvisit,’ and we work very closely with them. A lot of our counterparts around the country are doing the same thing, like Discover Central Massachusetts.”

The organization timed the unveiling of the new branding to coincide with the industry’s fall trade shows, including the “Connect Marketplace 2021,” being held in Tampa Oct. 10 to 12.

The new branding is also less cumbersome, Murdock said.

“A lot of the time, when I said ‘CTCSB,’ I had to spell it out — ‘C as in Charlie’ and so on,” he laughed. “This makes it a little easier for everybody.”

Midway through first year, Bridgeport amphitheater hitting its stride

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

Y

ears in the making — thanks to construction delays, the need for additional funding from the city of Bridgeport, and of course Covid-19 — it is finally full speed ahead for the Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater.

Well, more or less.

“We made a big entrance,” developer and principal Howard Saffan told the Business Journal, referring to the $30 million-plus, 5,700-capacity facility at 500 Broad St. The amphitheater officially opened on July 28 with a concert by REO Speedwagon and Styx. “Most importantly, people are really enjoying it.”

The venue has recorded several soldout performances, Saffan said — including, it need hardly be said, a Sept. 17 show by the Foo Fighters, who normally play arenas — on its way to hosting 20 concerts and 11 graduations in its inaugural year, along with a number of other events.

Not that the coronavirus isn’t still a factor.

The Foo Fighters have mandated that all concertgoers provide proof of a Covid vaccination or a negative test result within 48 hours

of the show, and on Aug. 25 country act Little Big Town canceled its concert the following night due to several members of its crew having been exposed to the virus.

“We’re an outdoor venue, much to our advantage,” Saffan noted. “Having said that, we abide by the city of Bridgeport’s, Connecticut’s and the CDC’s guidelines.”

That means that masks are required in all of the amphitheater’s indoor settings — including, bathrooms, elevators, VIP lounges and the like — per Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim’s recommendation. Masks are not required in the facility’s outdoor area, 92% of which is covered by its roof structure, made of a combination of two lightweight fiberglass materials.

Saffan expressed the same sort of surprise that most rock fans did when the amphitheater landed the Foo Fighters. “That was all Jim (Koplik, president of Live Nation Connecticut, which programs the venue).

But they’re one of those bands that don’t care about the dollars and cents. We’re so honored that they’re playing here.”

Tickets, priced at $79 to $129, were gone within two minutes, Saffan said. “Word has gotten out about our back of house, which is pretty special. There are six dressing rooms

Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater aerial view. and 4,000 square feet of space. The Brothers Osborne put up a small clip about the venue, Harry Connick did a tour of it, the Kings of Leon thought it was just incredible.”

The site’s groundbreaking took place in July 2018, by which time its planned opening had already been pushed back from spring to summer of 2019. Retrofitting what had been the home of the independent Bridgeport Bluefish baseball team proved to be more complicated than had been thought, however, with Saffan eventually going back to the city for $4.5 million, which brought Bridgeport’s total investment to $12 million.

FCBJ

2019 turned into 2020, and an announcement that Deftones would be its first concert at a date that, thanks to Covid, was never finalized. Hartford HealthCare landed naming rights to the venue this past February.

All things considered, Saffan said he’d like to host “in excess of 75 events” next year, including some 40 concerts; 13 have already been booked, he said.

Asked if there was anything he’d change, Saffan said that adding more food trucks would be a good idea but that, “All in all, we’re really, really happy with how things have gone.”

Stamford’s Health Wellness & Lifestyle Expo returns for outdoor happening

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

A

fter a year’s absence due to Covid19, the annual Health Wellness & Lifestyle Expo is coming back to Stamford. And while the threat of Covid has yet to fully abate, this year’s event — scheduled for Sept. 11 and 12 at Harbor Point Boardwalk — is being conducted with public health safety as a primary goal.

“We’re really excited that the event is outdoors, which makes it much more accessible for people, given everything that’s going on with Covid-19 and the Delta variant,” said Tammi Ketler, owner of TMK Event Marketing, the producer of the expo.

“We’re expecting probably around 2,500 people a day, for a total of 5,000 people for the weekend.”

Attendees at the expo, which is presented in partnership with Stamford Health for its 10th iteration, are encouraged to be vaccinated. As of this writing, the event does not have a mask mandate, although Ketler

acknowledged that “if guidelines adjust, we will be following all Covid-19 guidelines by the state and by the city of Stanford and by BLT Harbor Point.”

Ketler defines the expo as an opportunity for people “to learn more about their health and how to make great choices and to be able to live healthier lives.”

This year’s event will include CPR training and blood pressure screenings performed by members of Stamford Health and Stamford EMS, free nutrition consultations and flu shots by health professionals from Grade A ShopRite’s Pharmaceutical division, and 85 exhibitors offering discounted services and products and event-only membership deals on items, including fitness equipment, healthy food and beverages and wellness-focused professional services.

“We’re super excited to have Billy Blanks Jr. return,” said Ketler, referring to the celebrity fitness personality. “He always brings so much energy and excitement to the event. He’ll be teaching his dance-it-out WCBJ

classes both Saturday and Sunday.

“We also have yoga sponsored by Sacred Heart University, which is up on the turf area,” she said. “This is a very experiential event — we want people to experience health and wellness and to maybe try a yoga class that they have never experienced before or to try a fitness class.

We have such a wide variety and it’s really exciting.”

A new addition to this year’s expo will be the work of artist Ian Sullivan, who is creating original work that pays tribute to the health care professionals, public safety officers and essential workers who did frontline duty during the pandemic.

“We are having two art murals, 20 feet by 7 feet, that will be unveiled by Mayor David Martin on Saturday morning, Sept.

11, at 11:15 a.m.,” Ketler said. “The public will have the opportunity to sign the perimeter of both art murals — one for Stanford Health, one for Grade A ShopRite — thanking them for everything they’ve done. It’s a really special opportunity for the commu-

nity to come out and write notes of gratitude and appreciation of all these different art murals.”

Ketler said that one mural would go on display in the Stamford Hospital lobby while the other will be exhibited after the expo in one of the Grade A ShopRite stores.

This year’s expo also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and the event will include brief ceremony observing the events of two decades ago.

“Mayor Martin will also be presiding over that ceremony and we’re very honored to have Sergeant Joe Cala Vito singing the ‘National Anthem,’” Ketler said. “He is the official singer for the Connecticut Army National Guard, and the Stamford police honor guard will be joining us for this ceremony.”

Westfair Communications, publisher of the Westchester and Fairfield County Business Journal and WAG Magazine, is a premium media sponsor for this year’s expo.

HUDSON VALLEY New chapter for Amy Hall as she readies Ossining bookstore

BY BRIDGET MCCUSKER bmccusker@westfairinc.com

A

my Hall was cleaning out her bookshelf at her home in Ossining when the inspiration for her new business, Hudson Valley Books for Humanity, struck.

“I was doing my occasional closet cleanout one day earlier this year and I thought, ‘Gosh, I also have a lot of books. Let me clean my bookshelf,’” she said. “And I did that and then was reflecting on how hard it is to donate used books — good quality used books — because the libraries are often maxed out and I’m not really comfortable just taking them down to some of the charitable places that people typically donate to, because those things so often get just thrown away or aren’t necessarily used to their fullest extent.”

Hall, a social consciousness strategic adviser at Eileen Fisher in Irvington, is concerned with sustainability and social consciousness both in her corporate role and in her day-to-day life. These values, she said, she saw reflected in the county, too.

“I thought about (how) we are a very aware and active community in Ossining and the surrounding villages,” she said. “We have a really active kind of climate-oriented population — also social justice — and those are the things that I personally have been working on professionally for a really long time and that really means a lot to me as an individual. So, I thought it would be really great to have that be a slice of this bookstore.”

She concluded that she wanted to start this bookstore to sell used books of all genres in addition to a selection of new books focusing on social and environmental justice themes, and by and about women and people of color and other historically marginalized voices that may not always be showcased in the average bookstore.

There will also be artwork and crafts from local artisans and vendors available in the store, along with used vinyl records for sale.

Aside from the retail aspect, Hall hopes that it will also be a place where members of the community can gather to enjoy the space, read, have conversations and even host and attend events centered on literary and artistic topics.

“I want to just to make this a place where people feel welcome, where anybody in the town feels welcome,” she said.

“A place where all the different threads of the town intersect. That’s where the idea was born.”

Although Hall hasn’t launched it yet, she also envisions partnerships with other businesses and organizations, many of which

Amy Hall she views as similarly community-minded.

She views the bookstore as a complement to other businesses in the area, and has even used the bookstore’s social media pages to recognize other Hudson Valley bookstores and other Ossining businesses such as Penny & Ting and Sing Sing Kill Brewery.

Hall is continuing to fundraise for startup costs through an IndieGoGo campaign, which at mid-August was almost a quarter of the way to its $50,000 goal. She noted her gratification at how many people, some of whom she has never met, were eager to donate and believe in the need for such a bookstore.

“It’s about 70 people (who have donated so far) and I’d say that at least a third of the people who have supported it, I have never met,” she said. “And it’s really almost all individuals and, to my knowledge, as far as I can tell, one business in the area.”

In addition to monetary contributions, many people are interested in donating their used books to the store. So many, in fact, that Hall has had to pause taking the donations; she now has more than 4,000 books.

When Hudson Valley Books for Humanity opens in the Olive Opera House on Central Avenue sometime in October, Hall said that she will have a solid inventory of used books to start out with, and will begin curating a selection of new books as

well.

Hall has also received input from other community members and business owners through her advisory group, offering a perspective on a variety of topics essential to opening, including business plans, costs, social media, market research and identifying artists and vendors from around the FCBJ

Hudson Valley to carry in the store.

Hudson Valley Books for Humanity will add to a small landscape of used bookstores in the Westchester area, including Bruised Apple Books in Peekskill, Blind Dog Books in Chappaqua and Booksy Galore in Pound Ridge, the last of which also sells a combination of used and new books.

HUDSON VALLEY Upstate Films gains new leaders, location as it moves to reinstate community connection

BY BRIDGET MCCUSKER bmccusker@westfairinc.com

I

n 1972, Steve and Dede Leiber and Susan Goldman founded Upstate Films in Rhinebeck, with the mission of bringing classic and foreign films to moviegoers in the Hudson Valley who generally only had access to mainstream theaters and film programming.

The Leibers led the theater for almost 50 years, before passing on executive duties earlier this year to a new pair of directors: Paul Sturtz and Jason Silverman.

According to Goldman, Sturtz and Silverman were selected for their respective experience building film arts institutions through community collaboration.

For Sturtz it was his founding of the Ragtag Film Society in Columbia, Missouri, and a highly acclaimed nonfiction film festival called the True/False Film Fest that also fostered community involvement and helped revitalize the city.

Aside from filmmaking credits at the Sundance and Cannes film festivals, Silverman’s background includes experience as artistic director of the Taos Talking Pictures Festival and as part of the Telluride Film Festival. He also worked as a journalist for a decade and a half.

Silverman had been involved with Sturtz’s True/False Film Fest in the past, so the two knew each other before starting out at Upstate. In fact, when each found out the other was applying for the position, for which Upstate’s board of directors conducted a nationwide search, they decided to apply as a pair.

“It was just a coincidence,” Sturtz said.

“He was at my festival, True/False, and we discovered that we both were applying. And I only thought, well, rather than competing, let’s make it a joint effort and have fun with it. So it’s been a great time so far and we just feel very appreciative that we have each other to bounce off of.”

According to Sturtz, the pair hopes to bring the theater to the next level in terms of its influence in the region, which may prove to be no small task considering how many filmmakers and artists have made visits to Upstate in the past, including Jonathan Demme, John Sayles, Todd Haynes, Errol Morris, Jim Jarmusch and Debra Granik, and even politicians such as Ralph Nader.

“We’re basically transitioning the organization from being sort of a mom-and-pop movie house to being an arts organization that will have more of an impact all over the mid-Hudson Valley,” Sturtz said.

Although Sturtz and Silverman decided

Courtesy of Upstate Films. to close Upstate’s Woodstock location earlier this year due to an inability to bring the facility up to their standards as renters, they are now overseeing the establishment of a new Upstate Films location at the Orpheum Theatre in Saugerties, which the organization bought in July.

The new location will mark the first time Upstate owns its theater in the last five decades, according to Sturtz.

The theater will mainly be used to show films and bring an alternative to mainstream theaters to people in Saugerties and the surrounding area, akin to Upstate’s original mission. It will also serve as a venue for the organization to carry out its tradition of community involvement.

“We’ll be primarily showing films, but we’re going to be using it as a community center of sorts and having it open for anything, including anything from high school singing competitions to small theater productions to music shows, community forums ... all sorts of things.”

WCBJ

The theater is currently set to open on Oct. 21 after some modest changes and improvements are completed. The directors hope that the future will bring more opportunity for large-scale improvements, which may not be possible until 2023.

Intended improvements include an expansion of the main theater and the installation of a multipurpose space with a possible cafe and lounge, although plans are still in the process of being finalized.

Even with all the new developments, it has still been a difficult year for Upstate, much like all other theaters. The organization was able to benefit from government funding and arts grants to stay afloat.

“It allowed us to weather an incredibly difficult time,” Sturtz said. “You know, I don’t know if we’d have a very bright future, if not for that. It was a significant amount of money at a much-needed time and was really important for so many movie theaters, as well as performing art centers. And it’s really a boost and a vote for cultural organi-

zations and their importance within these different communities as we recover from these pretty terrible blows over the last year and a half.”

While Covid-related difficulties still loom, especially for nonessential services such as movie theaters, Sturtz expressed hope that he and Silverman will expand the reach of Upstate Films even further, and that it can be a catalyst for community connection and inclusion.

“We see ourselves wanting to encourage more community cohesion in all the towns where we’re in,” he said. “And I think there is a tremendous amount of potential in that and in other places beyond Rhinebeck and Saugerties. We think, there are other communities that could use an organization with our mission statement, which is basically connecting the Hudson Valley through these transformative cinematic experiences, and … we would like to be impactful all over the mid-Hudson Valley.”

Element 46’s newest cohort will focus on tech

even startups, all oriented around technology and innovation through the use of technology, make up the latest cohort of Westchester County’s Element 46 incubator program.

Element 46, located at 148 Martine Ave. in downtown White Plains, began recruiting for the latest group of entrepreneurs in March.

“Element 46 plays an integral role in our local entrepreneurial ecosystem,” said Bridget Gibbons, director of the Westchester County Office of Economic Development.

“With a cohort of ventures all focused on technology, we are proud to be tailoring the education and mentorship opportunities for this cohort to suit their niche.”

Through the program, participants have access to professional mentors whom they are matched with based on their expertise, often in the fields of technology, business strategy, finance and marketing, among others.

Throughout the six months of the program, they also have a dedicated workspace at the Element 46 office on Martine Avenue and can collaborate with and support each other through team-building and skill sessions.

Lawyers, accountants and marketing professionals also serve the program through pro-bono work, assisting participants with essential business services.

Among the entrepreneurs in the third cohort is Andre Peart, founder and CEO of ConConnect, a professional social network for formerly imprisoned individuals.

“I pursued Element 46 with the vision of expanded fair-chance hiring for formerly incarcerated people throughout Westchester County using my app ConConnect,” Peart said.

The mission of ConConnect is to modernize the re-entry process after jail time, probation and parole, with networking, employment and counseling resources.

Membership is available to individuals, as well as recruiting organizations and employers.

Alessandro Crocco, founder of Papi’, is developing his White Plains-based Italian fast-casual restaurant concept through Element 46. The restaurant, which is at 19 Bank St. in White Plains, emphasizes traditional Roman and Italian recipes and cooking techniques.

Awareia’s co-founder Hugh Wilmot is also participating to expand the impact of his Hastings-on-Hudson company, which is a system for locating lost items through QR codes and a digital interface.

“As a longtime Westchester resident, I was attracted by the county government sponsorship and certainly felt that Element 46, like my business, is a startup looking to make a meaningful impact,” Wilmot said. “One month in, the experience has allowed me to connect with like-minded entrepreneurs in a rich learning environment of business savvy, forward-thinking experts offering insight that empowers you to assess the current stage of your journey and further challenge your notion of what it takes to get to the next level.”

Workplace safety company IHP Safety is represented in the program by co-founder Daniel Letizia. The company offers risk identification and management services, and during the Covid-19 pandemic added Covid response plans for businesses to their services.

Participant Jake Cutler founded Larchmont-based Ampli-fi.io, a digital commercial and financial automation tool geared toward equipment sellers, with the goal of improved customer relations and responsiveness.

The program is also hosting two relatively new companies — ParKey and MYZE — that are currently in development before officially launching.

ParKey was founded by Element 46 parFCBJ

ticipant Lisbeth Baez, and is centered on a mobile application that aims to display parking availability and coordinate parking swaps for those coming and going from specific spaces.

Scott Tannenbaum founded digital health platform MYZE LLC as a “dry eye support system” to help those with dry eyes to manage and treat the condition. It will also offer personalized treatment plans to users of the platform.

Successful past participants span a wide range of business areas and include WindySide Spirits, Silver Bills, Kool Nerd Connect, Sacred Seeds and Baby Box. The goal of the program is to support startups, attract them to Westchester, increase their sales and growth, help entrepreneurs learn management skills and make the businesses become more sustainable, along with promoting economic development in the region.

“Westchester County’s businesses have been tested over this past year,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer said in a statement. “We are pleased to welcome these seven growing ventures to Element 46, a dynamic community of local entrepreneurs. This program will help businesses add value and profits and become an essential thread in the growth of Westchester County.”

Developing a Pipeline in a Tight Job Market

By Allison Madison, President, Madison Approach Staffing, Inc.

1. Housing costs in suburban and metropolitan areas force low-income individuals to live further away, making commutes expensive and time-consuming. If compensation for a job is at the lower range, consider how the workforce will afford to live in the area, navigate public transportation or afford travel expenses such a maintaining a vehicle and paying for gas. Performing a reasonable compensation analysis will help you become more competitive.

2. Minimum qualification requirements: Many low- to average-paying job postings require a 4-year degree as a minimum requirement, when it’s not necessarily relevant to the daily tasks of the position or commensurate with the cost of obtaining a degree. It’s time to assess if this credential requirement is creating a disparate impact in your hiring practices. By lowering the minimum requirements for a job to a more realistic level and investing in training, an employer can greatly increase the pool of job applicants.

3. Childcare and transportation costs can act as a barrier to securing and maintaining a job. Old school thinking didn’t take these issues into consideration when employing someone as it was considered the employee’s personal problem if they wanted the job. Perhaps it’s time to be more flexible and creative by offering stipends as a recruiting and retention tool.

4. Is there a career track to promotions, training and ultimately higher compensation? Employees are more willing to start at the low end of a career ladder if there is opportunity to grow with the company. A career development path provides motivated employees

here is much currently being written about the labor shortage that is occurring and the natural tendency has been to blame generous Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA) for demotivating job applicants. This explanation, perhaps, is overly simplistic as it doesn’t take into consideration that the labor shortage has been going on for quite a while in multiple sectors like manufacturing and health care. It also does not account for issues of childcare with remote learning, ongoing uncertainty concerning Covid safety protocols, large numbers of workforce exits by retirees who were lingering in the workforce and career shifting by people who are taking the opportunity to change careers. The reasons for the labor shortage are complex and it is far more productive for employers to implement new and creative strategies to develop an ongoing talent pipeline. The first step is to consider the following factors that can negatively affect a potential talent pool:

with an ongoing mechanism to enhance their skills and knowledge that can lead to lifelong skill development, promotions or transfers and increased confidence. Also introducing them to a prospective mentor is a great recruiting tool and company differentiator.

5. Expand the recruiting net to a diverse workforce. Employers who make accommodations in the workplace for employees with disabilities make the work culture more inclusive and better for everyone. For example: putting in a ramp makes your workplace accessible to someone in a wheelchair, but also a mom with a stroller or a senior who can’t handle stairs, or someone injured on crutches. Rather than thinking of these accommodations as a cost, think of them as customer service. Additionally, Gen Z are on the lookout for these types of accommodations.

6. Workplace flexibility has been accelerated by the pandemic and the increase of people working remotely from home.

The Covid shutdown demonstrated that, in many cases it is possible to work efficiently from home. So while the workforce will be going back to the office, there is room for flexibility, especially when considering transportation and family caretaking issues.

7. Paying a liveable wage: The most expensive part of of running a business for an employer is labor and the pressure to contain wages, benefits and the number of workers is high. But this is at odds with the needs of the worker to have a livable wage. If the job has high turnover or goes unfilled it’s time to assess the the job description and make sure the job is (1) still in alignment with business outcomes (2) the compensation is still competitive with the title, location and industry.

Building and maintaining a talent pipeline in a tight job market is extremely challenging and requires creative tactics and the employers who are succeeding have made a long-term commitment to changing old paradigms. It is vital to a strong economy and the success of all.

Lead on.

he Associated General Contractors of America, a trade organization representing 27,000 firms in the construction industry, warns that the industry is falling behind in the recovery from Covid-19 and is urging Congress and the Biden administration to make new investments in workforce development and to take steps to address supply chain issues.

“Federal officials may talk about the value of craft careers like construction, but they are failing to put their money where their mouth is,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s CEO. “Until we expose more people to construction careers, and get a handle on soaring materials prices, the construction industry is likely to have a hard time recovering from the pandemic.”

In Westchester, county government is at least one step ahead of the federal officials with the Westchester Industrial Development Agency launching a pre-apprenticeship program designed to create construction careers for county residents.

The agency has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to establish pre-apprenticeship training for individuals who are out of school and would like to embark on careers in the construction trades. The IDA initially is committing $50,000 for training providers.

The program would prepare participants to advance to an apprenticeship program or be hired by a contractor based in Westchester.

Responses to the RFP are due back on Sept. 10 with training providers selected by Oct. 4. Preferences for receiving training would go to individuals who are ages 18 to 24 and have very low incomes.

“For young men and women who aren’t going to go to college and want to work with their hands and have a good career, construction is a good career: electrical work; carpentry; masonry; plumbing. There are a host of things that fit into that category,” Westchester County Executive George Latimer told the Business Journal.

“Pre-apprenticeship training gives exposure to the trades and it really helps create a local talent pipeline,” Latimer said. He said that the IDA considers public benefits from projects when developers seek support from the agency and supporting career development fits right in. He said pre-apprenticeship programs help get novices to the level where they can be hired into apprenticeships or other entry-level jobs with contractors.

“There’s no question that both from the standpoint of the process of construction, how many people get hired on a job site, to the end product, construction adds a valuable asset to the community,” Latimer said.

“That is very much a part of the economic driver of the county. When individuals master their crafts they can make a heck of a lot

Latimer said government helping give young people a path to a better place in life is just as important as government making sure there is clean drinking water.

Joan McDonald, chairperson of the county’s IDA and the county’s director of operations said the pre-apprenticeship program “will give individuals a competitive advantage when they advance to an apprenticeship program or gain employment with a licensed contractor. There are a number of exciting construction projects taking place in Westchester County and this program will play an important role in cultivating skilled talent to work on these projects.”

In one city where there’s been a lot of construction lately, about 200 people showed their interest in the trades at a mid-August event. New Rochelle hosted a workforce and construction job fair at the First Source Referral Center at 247 North Ave. The event gave people a chance to meet with potential employers, including event sponsors RXR Realty, which is the master developer for the downtown section of the city, and developer Louis R. Cappelli’s LRC Construction.

Subcontractors also were there, offering positions from entry level to specialized skilled trades. They included: Lippolis Electric, Supreme Flooring, Rochelle Plumbing, Grundman Mechanical, ACA Contracting, Highlite Electric Services, United Brothers, Unique Designs; Precision Carpentry and United Community Center of Westchester.

Rachael Silva

ASSISTANT DEAN NAMED AT HAUB LAW Rachael Silva, a strategic and creative marketing communications professional with a track record of successful brand building in academia, health care and nonprofits, has been named assistant dean for external affairs at Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law in White Plains.

Horace E. Anderson Jr., dean of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law, said “…Her skillset and experience will complement our internal team’s efforts to shine a light on the great educational institution of Haub Law and the outstanding accomplishments of our faculty, staff, students and alumni.”

Previously, Silva was senior director of marketing and communications for Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College in Valhalla Prior to Touro, she was director of creative services at The New York Public Library for four years. She also spent more than 13 years at Montefiore Medical Center.

Silva holds a Master of Science degree from New York University, a Bachelor of Arts degree from the State University of New York Institute of Technology at Utica and she holds a Certificate in Electronic Publishing from the Association of Graphic Communications.

State-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen chambers at White Plains Hospital’s Carl Weber Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine.

White Plains Hospital, a regional leader in the treatment of traumatic, post-operative and chronic wounds in White Plains, recently added lifechanging hyperbaric medical therapy to its services. The newly expanded Carl Weber Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine functions as a regional referral center to treat the most complicated and treatment-resistant wounds that would otherwise potentially result in limb loss.

Central to the hospital’s new Limb Preservation Program is hyperbaric medicine, delivered through two state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen chambers. The high concentration of oxygen is the most advanced

therapy to cure infections that are resistant to antibiotics while also boosting healthy tissue growth.

“These state-of-the art chambers are the largest, most cutting-edge chambers currently available for treatment,” said Dr. Joseph Cavorsi, medical director of the Carl Weber Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine.

Hyperbaric therapy is especially beneficial to those with diabetes and who suffer from difficult-to-heal infections of the feet, sometimes referred to as “diabetic foot.” It has been estimated that one out of three people with diabetes 50 years

of age or older are at risk of losing a limb.

In addition to wound treatment for patients who suffer from diabetes, the center also treats a diverse range of chronic wounds, which are defined as those that do not properly heal within 30 days, regardless of the cause of the wound or the age of the patient.

The Carl Weber Wound Care Center was named for Dr. Carl Weber, former president of the medical staff and director of surgery who was a beloved champion for all patients — especially those whose quality of life was dramatically impacted by chronic wounds.

CONSTRUCTION CAREER FAIR The Construction Career Fair held on Aug. 25 at New York Power Authority in White Plains drew nearly 200 job seekers to learn about current employment opportunities in construction. Among the job opportunities available to attendees were those for laborers, carpenters, plumbers, painters, drivers, electricians, sheetrockers, building maintenance, security and masonry.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “The turnout at the Construction Career Fair shows that Westchester County residents are ready to get to work. There are many exciting construction projects taking place throughout the county and we are happy to help recruit workers for these important initiatives.”

Joan McDonald, chairperson of the County of Westchester Industrial Development Agency (IDA) and director of operations for Westchester County, said “The successful execution of new developments requires skilled workers. We are committed to ensuring that our develop-

Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains has received a $50,000 grant award from The Thomas and Agnes Carvel Foundation to support the creation and implementation of a Neurological Music Therapy Program.

Partnering with MedRhythms Inc., Therapy Division, to provide an on-site neurologic music therapist (NMT) to work directly with patients, Burke will utilize musical components to foster neurological changes in the brain. According to Dr. Mooyeon Oh-Park, senior vice president and chief medical officer, “The Neurologic Music Therapy Program is envisioned to provide an effective, evidence-based intervention to help patients with neurological deficits make significant progress toward recovery….”

Caitlin Hebb, clinical operations manager and neurologic music therapist fellow, said “MedRhythms’ NMTs work closely with the therapy and medical team by providing individual and group therapy, as well as co-treatment sessions where NMTs collaborate with other clinicians simultaneously….This inter-professional team-based approach increases patient outcomes and promotes knowledge translation across disciplines.”

Chrissy Stack, therapy business development manager at MedRhythms, said “…Neurologic Music Therapy is propelled forward by advancements in neuroscience research and the understanding of how music is processed and perceived in the brain and how this affects nonmusical brain and behavior function.”

Burke’s NMT program is scheduled to begin in late fall or winter.

ers have the talent they need to execute their projects.”

Good Things REACCREDITATION WITH DISTINCTION FOR HOSPITAL

Don Fowley

MAKING A SPLASH FOR CANCER RESEARCH Don Fowley, a resident at The Osborn’s Sterling Park Independent Living Community in Rye, marked his 29 th year of participating in Swim Across America, finishing a half mile to help raise more than $1.2 million for cancer research.

The 84-year-old became dedicated to this cause after losing his first wife to cancer. He was the most senior participant in Swim Across America Long Island Sound, which included 850 swimmers this year.

“You have to stay active and positive as you get older,” said Fowley, a well-known and popular Osborn resident. “I try to help people all the time—it makes me feel good as well as those I’m helping. Everyone wins.”

According to The Osborn’s President and CEO Matthew G. Anderson, “Don Fowley epitomizes the active lifestyle of Osborn residents.

They continue to explore and enjoy activities that reflect their special interests. He represents the spirit of our community—vibrant people living a meaningful and engaged lifestyle.”

Since its founding in 1987, Swim Across America has raised close to $100 million for cancer research and clinical trials.

The Osborn is a private, nonprofit continuum of care community, which is accredited by CARF and has a Fitch A-rating.

The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine (UHM) Department of Phelps Hospital, Northwell Health in Sleepy Hollow has received “Accreditation with Distinction” from the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) – the gold standard in hyperbaric facility accreditation, which recognizes those that meet or exceed the highest levels of care and patient safety.

Participation in the UHMS accreditation program requires months of preparation. More than 650 probes into patient safety, facility standards, equipment maintenance and team-member training are rigorously evaluated to ensure the highest quality is maintained within the specialty. Accreditation with Distinction is the high-

est ranking given by the UHMS. “This recognition is a testament to the exceptional work our dedicated hyperbaric team performs daily,” said Owen J. O’Neill, M.D., MPH, founding medical director of Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine at the hospital.

Phelps’ UHM Department opened in December 2006 with the largest hyperbaric chamber in the Northeast, one of only 30 in the nation like it. The chamber can accommodate up to 12 patients at a time.

Since its inception 15 years ago, the UHM Department has safely and successfully performed more than 40,000 hyperbaric oxygen treatments, which involves the use of medical oxygen administered in a pressure cham-

ber at levels higher than atmospheric pressure. This pressure helps oxygen dissolve more rapidly into the blood, advancing its absorption into damaged tissues to promote healing of wounds, serious infections, pressure-related scuba diving injuries, arterial gas embolism and other illnesses.

Phelps Hospital, part of Northwell Health, is a full-service 238-bed acute care community hospital with more than 1,700 employees and 1,100 medical staff members representing 60 medical specialties.

Northwell Health is New York state’s largest health care provider and private employer, with 23 hospitals, 830 outpatient facilities and more than 16,600 affiliated physicians.

TOP DOCTOR RECOGNITION OrthoConnecticut in Danbury has announced that 14 of its board-certified orthopedic surgeons, hand surgeons and sports medicine physicians received 2021 Top Doctor recognition from Connecticut magazine, Moffly Media and Castle Connolly Top Doctors.

Insel, M.D. The Top Doctors distinction is a physician-peer nominated, rigorously screened and vetted honor from the research team at Castle Connolly. The screening includes a review of education, training and professional expertise.

OrthoConnecticut is a multispecialty orthopedic practice, helping patients regain mobility, lead active lives and attain optimal well-being. Its nine offices are located in Danbury, Darien, Litchfield, New Milford, Norwalk, Ridgefield, Sharon, Southbury and Westport.
