The idea for cARTie originated in 2019, and just one year later the museum became a 501(c)(3) organization. One of the inspira tions for cARTie was the work of Victor D’Amico, founding director of education at the Museum of Modern Art, who aspired to pro vide art education to wider audi ences, doing so through various novel means including the 1952 NBC television show “Through the Enchanted Gate” and the Children’s Art Caravan in 1969, a mobile art workshop that travelled to schools unable to provide art facilities or programs for students.

Since they target only the opera tions of the mutation, other fast-growing cells are unharmed.Kropalso viewed the emergence of immunotherapy as a promising field of development that teaches the body to attack cancer cells on its own by using antibodies to create “guided missiles” that attach them selves only to cancer cells while delivering a chemotherapy drug payload.

It’s going to be a great outcome for us,” Belew said. “It certainly gives us additional optimism on the 60 S. Broadway project. We currently anticipate starting that early first quarter of this coming year.”

“None of this development of new drugs would have happened without patients vol unteering to participate in trials,” he said. “It’s a way to get access to the very latest treatment.”
Belew told the Business Journals that tenants started moving into The Mitchell in mid-August and as of the end of August about 100 leases had been signed.
However, Ward noted that “it’s important to understand that prevalence is the total number of cases in an existing population. That includes patients that were diagnosed with cancer in the past and are surviving. So, it’s not completely bad to have a high preva lence if you’re alive and doing well but have had a history of breast cancer. At the same time, I think it got the system’s attention that in Greenwich specifically we are going to have increasing needs in the future.”
holistic approach to care being taken by many oncologists, drawing on a broad range of expertise to provide truly multidisciplinary care. But more than involving additional doc tors, he said “partnering with patients” is the cornerstone of clinical care and research.
The Mitchell is on properties with addresses of 9 Mitchell Place and 131 Mamaroneck Ave., that cover approximately 2.1 acres. The project involves two 15-story buildings and a six-story parking structure.
LMC had told Westchester County’s Industrial Development Agency it anticipated construction on the first phase of the twophase 60 S. Broadway project to begin in June 2020 with occupancy expected around September 2022. Phase two was expected to then begin with full occupancy expected by September 2024. In addition to two 28-story towers the project was planned for 28,000 square feet of retail and dining along with 932 parking spaces. The cost of each phase of the project had been estimated at $250 million.
is the strongest leasing season so we were a little bit concerned that we were starting a little bit late in the year but the response has been overwhelming. In fact, we set the all-time leasing record for one month for our entire company, in the entire history of the company.”Belew forecast that the Mitchell was going to be a huge success despite challeng es faced during the construction, ranging from the Covid pandemic to the bankruptcy filing of the original construction contractor on the project, Katerra Inc.

He highlighted the rise of mini mally invasive and robotically aided surgery, immunotherapy where the body’s natural defenses are trained to effectively deliver treatment, and radio surgery where highly precise applications of energy can achieve results similar to surgery but with fewer side effects than some older forms of radiation therapy.The emergence of new techniques has brought about additional specialization on the parts of doctors, Lee explained. In the past, simply being an oncologist was consid ered a narrow field, but as different cancers in disparate sections of the body can behave in drastically different ways it has seen the rise of the “tumor board,” a collection of spe cialists working together to create a holistic plan of “Onecare.ofthe many things that I’ve learned in the 20 years of my practice is that every patient is unique in their own way,” Lee said. “And in order to make sure that we are deliv ering the latest and the best care, we need to tap into the collective knowledge and resources of all of our colleagues. The days of an oncologist by herself or himself trying to provide for the complex needs of our patients are long in the past.

It was at a White Plains Common Council Special Meeting in July 2015, that Maple & Broadway LLC, a subsidiary of Lennar Corporation through LMC, unveiled its vision for redeveloping the Westchester Pavilion. On March 1, 2017, Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc., owner of the Pavilion prop erty for about 15 years, announced that it had completed the sale of the real estate to Lennar. Urstadt Biddle said the aggregate amount paid to the company for the Pavilion was $56.6 million.
“I think that’s what’s best for patients,” Winer added. “I actually think that’s what is best for doctors too, and it’s one of the ways we can protect ourselves from burnout, by feeling like our patients are our partners.”

“We realize we’re incredibly blessed to be living where we are right now with the way we’re screened,” she said. “And yet, why are we here tonight? We have a cancer problem. Connecticut again has a higher incidence of most cancers than in other parts of the country and our area is predicted to have a significant increased prevalence in the years ahead. As I mentioned this includes patients alive with cancer or a history of cancer, but they’ll need treatment and they’ll need follow up. We need to remain at the forefront of early detection and treatment.”
In the future, Winer predicted increasing specialization combined with more highly targeted treatments and the emergence of health networks like Yale New Haven Health will make treatment increasingly convenient for patients — and some networks allow people to receive treatment closer to home instead of traveling hours to reach large can cer centers.Whilesome treatments require heavy equipment or specialized approaches that preclude home treatment, Winer said that as therapies become better targeted while producing fewer side-effects, new treatment environments will become available.
“We’re very proud to be finally delivering this building,” Greg Belew, LMC’s division president of the New York tri-state area said of The Mitchell. “We look forward to being able to do more groundbreaking projects as we go forward.”

“They say in the next 10 years in the Greenwich-Stamford region nearly all cancer types show growth rates between 20% to 26%, with breast, gynecologic, and urologic cancers remaining the most prevalent in our region,” she said, adding these figures are higher than the rest of Connecticut which stands at 6% to 12% growth rates.
“Cancer treatments are now dramatically better than they were only 20 years ago,” Krop said. “Back then almost all of the drugs we gave were chemotherapy, drugs essen tially designed to kill any fast-growing cells. Those therapies are effective but because normal cells can also grow very quickly, such as blood cells or hair cells, these chemothera pies tend to have a substantial amount of side effects and cancers can become resistant.”

Nonetheless, Gakam set her sights on a career in the more practical field of health-care management, arriving in the United States in 2005 to pursue an associ ate’s degree at San Jacinto College South in Houston and a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Houston.

Today, the show — which moved to Las Vegas in 1989 and was acquired by Advanstar Communications in 1998 — includes women’s clothing and accessories and manufacturing services. After presenting her portfolio in Vegas, Gakam says, the verdict was in: Her future lay in fashion, not in health care.
In 2019, her clothes were added to Flying Solo, a shop in Manhattan’s SoHo that works with independent designers.

Written by Carmen Rivera, “La Gringa” tells the story of a young woman born and raised in New York City who visits her extended family in Puerto Rico for the first time. Despite having defined herself as Puerto Rican, the protagonist finds herself considered a gringa (an American), which launches exploration of the themes of identity, family, and how we relate to our loved ones.
“One of the things that we had to pause because of the pandemic was our theater workshop,” Torres explained. “We are going to bring the kids participating in the next theater workshop to watch the play with their families.”
“I think the message is important because if you look at Connecticut, if you look at Fairfield County, and if you look at the United States of America, the diversity that exists from all different nationalities is just unbelievable,” Torres said. “I think when people get to witness and learn not only about their own cul ture, but also about others they will be more compassionate and understanding of others.”Torreswas also excited to bring the play

While much of the dialogue is in Spanish, Torres said that real-time translation of the dialogue will be shown on supertitle screens, enabling English-speaking view ers follow the play fully.
While tickets for the off-Broadway production ran as much as $63 for prime seating at the storied Repertorio Español in Manhattan, the Klein presentation is only $25 per ticket, with 20% of the already discounted tickets going to one of 11 local nonprofits supporting the local Hispanic community.

One brother would keep track of who played which piece as they took turns removing the crackers.
It was not until he was well along in the production of the prototype that Porter real ized that the game and his current business shared an emphasis on being present in the moment. StressStop’s materials – which are used by major corporations, NASA, hospitals and nursing homes nationwide to promote mindfulness techniques – are all about being present and fully in the moment is one way to tackle stress, which it is also the key to winning Tip Tac Toe.
Tip Tac Toe makes use of a wooden frame and marked pieces to add a new dimension to the game while also reducing the chances of it ending in a tie. In order to place their X or O in the frame, players must first remove a blank wooden block. However, the blocks are placed with the marks face down, and if the block a player has tried to remove has an X or an O they lose.

for the project came from a moment in Porter’s childhood in Greenwich.“Mybrothers and I were sitting around a dining room table with a check tablecloth eating oyster crackers,” Porter recalled. “We noticed they fit perfectly on this little check erboard formed by the tablecloth, so we started putting them down in order to make tic-tac-toe. Then my older brother said, ‘Well, what if instead of putting them down, we took them away?’”

His initial prototypes were made from wood in his home workshop, but Porter plans to scale up. He has not decided on a specific course of action and may be open to working with an established board game company or manufacturer. Alternatively, if a Kickstarter campaign goes well enough, Porter said he’d be glad to add it to the StressStop product line, especially if it becomes possible to avoid supply-chain issues by partnering with U.S. woodworkers if the demand proves high enough.Though
“For years I thought about how I could make that happen in a practical way,” Porter said, adding the memory of that game stayed with him until he found himself in a position to bring it to fruition.

One example is the resounding success of Luxe Living, the thoughtfully eclectic lifetime collections of a Boston couple. A significant portion of their furniture, porcelains and decorative objects achieved many multiples of pre-auction esti mates.Other auction highlights at Skinner have included a bottle of whiskey, believed to be the oldest known (circa 1860s) and with an impressive provenance, and a 17th century Ming Imperial dragon carpet from the leg endary textile collection of Jim Dixon.
Skinner’s long history of success is grounded in a paradox. The antiques and vintage items we treasure are time-honored links to the past.

It’s a change ensuring a bright future that will incorporate the best of both companies.
For buyers, the acquisition means an even wider range of opportunities to acquire the rare, the beautiful, the historically sig nificant and the culturally important. And with access to far-flung specialized sales by telephone or mouse, as well as live on-site bidding, distance is no barrier.

Indeed, now a fourth-generation family busi ness, oysters, as the slogan runs, are the Bloom family’s passion. But wonderful as these bivalves undoubtedly are, the shack serves tremendous lobster rolls, too. Both the hot and cold rolls come filled with generous amounts of flesh — and the sweetness of the lobster meat mixed with the merest touch of brininess lifts these rolls well out of the ordinary. The setting, too, right by the water, adds a fur ther dimension to the coppsislandoystershack.comexperience.
Bar in the Saugatuck section of Westport. These beauties feature on both the lunch and extensive dinner menus. The Connecticut roll comes with melted butter while, as is traditional, the Maine variety is a cold lobster salad, pre sented here atop Boston lettuce on a toasted brioche bun. Both are pingingly fresh, vibrant and gen erously packed, although for out sized appetites, Rizzuto’s also does a whopping, king-size roll with a full half-pound of lobster meat. For a less formal outing, you can stop by owner Bill Rizzuto’s The Lobster Shack next door, which only does takeout. rizzutos.com, ctlobstershack.com
Lobster rolls come two ways at this takeout-only Greenwich seafood market, established in 1975 by John Tung. That’s to say, a lobster salad served on a potato hot-dog bun or with the lobster meat sautéed. (By now, you know the drill.) But while large crusta ceans may be the central focus, there’s a great deal more on offer in the way of fish and shellfish. Look out for Key West grouper with puttanesca sauce or the swordfish kabobs if they are avail able on the day you visit, and bear in mind The Lobster Bin also does exceptionally fine sushi, heavenly baked clams and luxurious softs hell crab. thelobsterbin.com
Anthony DiMeglio is a third-generation fisherman and Westchester County resident, who, post-Covid, now sells direct ly to the public. And his Dobbs Ferry store sells what may just be the ne plus ultra of lobster rolls, either with warm lobster meat (Connecticut style) or dressed lobster salad (Maine style). The website cheerfully advises calling ahead, “as the shop may be closed on the days Anthony is out on the water.” That probably tells you all you need to know about the prov enance and freshness of these

In August, the City of Kingston in Ulster County was forced to declare a local drought emergency, with mandates put in place regarding water usage.
State is not known for the expansive and destructive wildfires seen out West, but they do occur and continue to be a danger, especially with the increase of drought-fueled climate change impacts that require us to be prepared for all types of extreme weather,” Hochul said. “I urge all New Yorkers to remain vigilant and thank our first responders and service members who are working around the clock to protect our communities.”

“The entire state of New York is now under high fire damager and for the Hudson Valley its actually very high risk,” State Environmental Conservation Commissioner Basil Seggos said. “It’s been a hot summer, its been a dry summer. We’re now under a statewide drought watch. It puts enormous strains on our resources at DEC in terms of fire response and all of the local firefighters that are called in to put down some of these local ized fires.”
HVSF’s said the performance space would be the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum purpose-built theater in the country. Solar panels, rainwater capture, reduced embedded carbon and other design elements would be incorporated to minimize climate impacts and better pro tect the theater from extreme weather and wear. HVSF said the platinum designation is the highest level of LEED certification and shows the organization’s strong commit ment to Davissustainability.McCallum, artistic director of HVSF, said, “With our new theater design, our project more fully reflects the unique character of this extraordinary place and extends the deep tradition of envi ronmentalism in the Hudson Highlands. Philipstown has been our home for over three decades, and we are grateful for the broad and strong support of the commu nity as we advance to the next stage of the SEQRA review process.”

HVSF described the proposed new openair theater as being constructed “using a palette of natural materials with the textures and muted colors of stone, slate and wood. Designed with sensitivity to the preserva tion of the area’s scenic views, the proposed structure presents a thin ground-hugging profile and uses a floating timber framed roof whose shallow horizontal curves echo the ridge lines behind and around it.”

Fortunately, Connie began the senior living planning process several months prior to her hospitalization and complet ed it in rehab. Planning preceded crisis, which gave Connie the opportunity to consider options.
New York state is home to more than 500 assisted living communities. There are 60 throughout Connecticut, according to the American Health Care Association (AHCA) and the National Center for Assisted Living (NCAL).
Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services seniorciti zens.westchestergov.com/ Commissioner Mae Carpenter says that there are 214,000 adults in the county age 60 and over and approximately 55,000 caregivers for them. She notes that Westchester, an excellent place to age in place, was “des ignated as one of the first age-friendly counties in the nation by AARP and the World Health Organization.” Yet, while older adults generally choose to live their entire lives in their communities, they and, when applicable, their loved ones, need to chart a course to achieve that goal

Before the move, Connie fell a few times and ended up in the hospital fol lowed by a stint in rehab. The pandemic made this more difficult as she was unable to accept visits from friends. Today she socializes with residents and staff daily.

MTA mockup of equipment in place across roadway for congestion pricing toll collection.
“The complete disregard for the needs of people who live west of the Hudson is evident at every step of this plan,” Reichlin-Melnick said. “Those who pay the biggest burden won’t even get a seat at the table.” .
Rocco Lacertosa, CEO of the New York State Energy Coalition, expressed concerns about the toll structure being proposed for trucks, saying increased costs would be passed to consumers.
“Now you want these commuters to give even more while all the East River bridges remain toll-free despite the significant transit options to get into the city from those communities,” Day said. “Connecticut commuters, yes an entirely different state, do not pay one red cent and unbelievably receive better service from the MTA than our overpay ing MTA-member Rockland County.”
Rockland County Executive Ed Day testified at a hearing, “Like almost all of the members of the Metropolitan Transportation Commuter District, Rockland County has no one-seat rail ride to the central business district and severely limited mass transit alterna tives. This transit desert forces more than 60% of our residents to drive into the city because they have no other way to get there and that commute is not cheap.”Day called for Rockland residents to be exempt from additional tolls that congestion pricing would impose. He pointed out that Rockland residents pay heavy tolls on the George Washington Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel and Tappan Zee Bridge while being subjected to a $40 million annual value gap between what the county residents pay to the MTA and what the county gets in return.

The MTA presented seven differ ent scenarios for tolls which would be imposed, ranging from passenger cars being charged a low of $5 to enter Midtown Manhattan overnight and $9 during peak periods to $12 over night and $29 during peak periods. The highest proposed toll was $82 for large trucks during peak periods. Passenger
cars, motorcycles and commercial vans would be charged only once per day under all of the various permutations that are proposed by the MTA, while taxis, trucks and buses could have to pay the toll multiple times each day under various scenarios. The MTA pro posed that in some instances credits would be given for bridge and tunnel tolls that motorists paid while en route to Manhattan.Tollswould not be collected from vehicles on the West Side Highway or East River Drive, but would be charged as soon as a vehicle gets off of the high ways. Structures would be built span ning various local avenues and streets that would have antennas, cameras and associated equipment. Toll collection would be through the use of E-ZPass technology or by photographing license plates and billing by mail.
series of six public hearings on its plan to put new tolls in place on vehicles traveling below 60th Street in Manhattan saw participation by hundreds of advocates and opponents. The hearings were held virtually and concluded Aug. 31. The MTA has estimated that congestion pric ing could reduce the number of vehicles on Manhattan’s streets by up to 20%.

State Sen. Elijah Reichlin-Melnick, who represents the 38th Senate District that includes the towns of Clarkstown, Orangetown, and Ramapo in Rockland, said, “How can proponents of this plan possibly justify forcing Rockland resi dents to pay the same congestion pric ing tax as people who live east of the Hudson where there are vastly better public transit options into Manhattan? Westchester County has 43 train sta tions, Rockland has Reichlin-Melnickfive.”said he and state Assemblyman Ken Zebrowski are pre paring legislation that would exempt Rockland along with Orange County from congestion pricing.
“My members make multiple trips in and out of Manhattan all day long every day of the year and it goes up expo nentially in the wintertime during the heating season during October through April,” Lacertosa said. He explained that many of the truck trips by his orga nization’s members involve emergen cy service calls for heating equipment at health care facilities and municipal buildings.TonyMalone, a resident of Brooklyn, was typical of New York City residents speaking in support of congestion pric ing.“I’m very disappointed to hear some elected officials speaking in opposition to this program,” Malone said. “It’s clear that our city is in a traffic crisis. It’s clear that our world is in a climate cri sis. Maintaining the status quo is not an option. I want congestion pricing because I want a city where my kids can safely bike two miles to their school, where our streets … are not choked with cars everyday.”

The survey also determined that more Americans have started using their credit cards to help carry the onerous financial burden they now face, even though carry ing higher balances for extended periods will have a negative effect on their credit ratings.“Customers whose financial health is stressed are most likely to agree that their credit score helps with more than getting a loan/borrowing money (75%) and, to that end, 41% of customers have a personal goal to improve their credit score in the next 12 months.

“The need to update the $400 emer gency expense benchmark is evident in this report,” said Anuj Nayar, LendingClub’s financial health officer. “Inflation in the last year, let alone the last decade, has made it much more difficult for consumers to save while staying on top of their expenses. Not only are consumers saving less every month, but they are likely to encounter an emergency expense, if not multiple, putting them at a greater risk for increased financial hardship. This fact paves a financially diffi cult road ahead for consumers.”
