One man’s trash … Wilder Balter plans apartments at Ossining transfer station

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

h app aq u a- b a s e d Wilder Balter Partners Inc. and the village of Ossining are seeking community input on a proposal to build an eight-story mixed-use building with 109 apartments on the site of the Department of Public Works trash transfer station. In April, Wilder Balter was selected by Ossining to develop the site bounded by Water Street, Main Street, Secor Road and Central Avenue, which is near the Metro-North railroad tracks and the Hudson River. In July 2019, the village issued a request for quali-

fications from developers that might be interested in acquiring the property and doing something with it that met the village’s needs for housing, commercial opportunities, public access along the Sing Sing Kill Brook and included a pedestrian connection between the train station area and upper Main Street. Beginning in Sept. 2019, responses from developers were reviewed by a selection committee consisting of representatives from the Housing Action Council, village staff and members of the Ossining Board of Trustees. A formal review process of Wilder Balter’s proposal, including public

hearings, must be completed before approvals can be granted and permits issued. William G. Balter, a principal in Wilder Balter Partners Inc., told the Business Journal that what they’re proposing in Ossining is consistent with their past affordable and workforce housing successes. He pointed to the company’s development Chappaqua Crossing on the site of the former Reader’s Digest headquarters that contains a mix of market rate and affordable housing units. Among the company’s almost three-dozen developments is Deerfield Village in Niantic, » ONE MAN’S TRASH

ELECTION LATEST: Biden declared winner; Trump remains defiant

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

ormer Vice President Joe Biden has won the presidency and will take the oath of office as the nation’s 46th commander-in-chief on Jan. 20. Biden was awarded Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes this morning, pushing him past the 270 needed to claim victory. Kamala Harris will become the first woman — and first person of color — to serve as the nation’s vice

president. Vote counting is continuing in Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, and North Carolina. Nevada and its 6 electoral votes were also called for Biden today; the Democrat’s current electoral tally stands at 279 to Donald Trump’s 214. Biden and Harris are both expected to speak to the nation tonight at 8 p.m. Trump, the first incumbent president to be voted out since Bill Clinton defeated Republican George H.W. Bush in 1992, is at his golf

club in Virginia. His campaign has filed a number of lawsuits protesting the ongoing vote-counting. “We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner, and why his media allies are trying so hard to help him: they don’t want the truth to be exposed,” Trump said in a statement. “The simple fact is this election is far from over. Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested » ELECTION LATEST

Inspiria Outdoor Advertising takes aim at the Crossroads of the World BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

s the head of a company that specializes in outdoor advertising, Ronnie Ram faced a potential nightmare when the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in cities and states urging most of their residents to quarantine at home and only go out for food and other essentials. “It was tough, initially,” admitted Ram, who is president and CEO of White Plains-based Inspiria Outdoor Advertising. “I remember the initial shock of it on March 16 when we said, ‘Well, let’s pack up our laptops and let’s take our Voice over IP phones — they’ll work, just plug it in, as long as you have internet — and we need to regroup to be safe.” Ram and his team needed to pause several of their campaigns and assure clients that they would still be available after the quarantine period was over. And while he acknowledged the economy and his industry was not bouncing back to the pre-pandemic normalcy, he expressed confidence in keeping Inspiria in motion. “What we’re focusing on is essentially continuing to be a great company,” said Ram in a recent interview with Westfair Video Conversations, the YouTube channel for the Business Journal. “Luckily, we had a good bal-

ance sheet and we run the company responsibly. And now it’s a question of how do you move forward.” One area where Ram is pursuing at greater depth is digital signs, observing that the U.S. has been catching up to other nations in embracing this format. “Europe is definitely ahead of us, as is Asia for a lot of advertising and media,” he said. “We’re going a lot more digital converting inside transit centers and very, very large billboards to the likes of which we haven’t seen before. We’re talking nonstress, high-quality, Times Square-level size billboards.” Ram sought to practice what he preaches earlier this month when he arranged for a digital advertisement for his company on a seven-story billboard in Times Square. The message appears to be working, as he noted he is planning strategies with companies that are looking to advertise only in Times Square. Why would companies focus their advertising strictly in the oversized platforms in the heart of Manhattan? “People could take photos or they can use it on social media,” he explained. “And this happens all the time. We are doing the campaign for a rum company out of Miami; and that one is a 28-day campaign. But their goal is not only to grow the brand, because Times Square is not just tourists — a lot FCBJ

of people work in that area now. We have people calling us. They want to buy a billboard just so they can take their photo in front of the billboard.” Yet despite the XL-size of the billboards and having them in one of the priciest media markets, Ram stated that “the cost of advertising outdoor is probably one of the greatest surprises, meaning it’s a lot more affordable than people think. And that is one of the pleasures you have when you speak to a client about it.” For Ram, the brilliance of outdoor advertising — either the stateof-the-art digital signs or the oldschool stationary image on vinyl and paper — is that “you can’t fast forward it, you can’t skip it, you can’t delete it.” He also advocated incorporating outdoor advertising into an overall marketing strategy. “The greatest scenario is people do outdoor in concert with other media formats,” he said. “When somebody sees your ad outdoors, then they see it in print and then they listen to it on the radio and then they see it on social, the power is not one plus one equals two, it’s one plus one equals three — you keep on having that formula to the point that outdoor can increase the effectiveness of a lot of other media formats by 200% or 300%.” While Ram said that consumer outdoor advertising was “an easier

conversation” to pursue with companies, he is eager to further take on additional B2B projects. He pointed to his recent work with New Jersey Turnpike-based billboards for Domino’s seeking drivers with CDL licenses. He has also coordinated several messaging campaigns from financial services companies thanking frontline workers — a sincere act, to be certain, but one that keeps the corporate brand front and center. “The banks are not as interested in you or me opening up a checking account, but they are interested in us opening a business account,” he said. “They want to convert those people … because there’s a lifetime of value in that kind of client.” As for the post-pandemic months, Ram is waiting for the trade conference circuit to come back. “We had several conventions at the Javits Center that were canceled or postponed,” he said. “We had another one in Las Vegas, which was B2B. If you had a conference targeting people that are in the software field, they wanted to advertise to everybody as they come in to the convention centers in Vegas to know that they’re going to be there. We execute those all over the country and, unfortunately, that’s going to be limited for a little while. But it will come back.”

Mariani Gardens townhouse project in Armonk withering on the vine BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

wo minority partners in the Mariani Gardens Nursery redevelopment project in Armonk want to dissolve the company because majority partner Mark Mariani has allegedly mismanaged $10 million in project loans. George Galgano and David Linn, both of Purchase, petitioned Westchester Supreme Court on Oct. 13 for a judicial dissolution of 45 Bedford Road LLC. “Mariani’s mismanagement and failure to pursue or promote the company’s purposes has caused irreconcilable dissension, distrust and acrimony,” the petition states. Then three days after the petition was filed, David and Luciana Linn sued Mariani, claiming he had overcharged them by more than $2.5 million in building their dream home. Mariani, of Greenwich, Connecticut, did not immediately respond to an email message asking for his side of the disputes. The 45 Bedford Road partnership was formed in 2018 to build 40 to 80 townhouses at the Mariani Gardens Nursery, a 4.2acre property owned by Mariani at the center of Armonk.

Mariani owns 50% of the company and is the managing partner. Galgano and Linn each own 25%. The company took on three loans totaling $10.35 million, from the Galinn Fund, an Elmsford private lender controlled by Galgano and Linn. One of the first orders of business was to rezone the property, and last year the town of North Castle agreed to allow 43 townhouses. But the rezoning process, according to the petition, “exhausted the balance of the company’s loans.” Galgano and Linn also claim Mariani mismanaged the business, failing to collect $850,000 a year in rent for two years, for instance, from other companies Mariani controls on the property. This past June, Galinn sold its loans at a discount to NCD Acquisitions and on Oct. 1, NCD, according to the petition, served a foreclosure notice and claims it is owed nearly $10.7 million. The property is worth $8 million to $9 million, according to the petition. The minority partners also accuse Mariani of stopping the company attorney from working on the project, allowing the insurance to lapse, failing to pay bills and failing to issue partnership

The property in Armonk was once a nursery. Photo via GoogleMaps. tax statements. “It is not reasonably practicable to carry on the business of the company,” the petition states, in asking the court to dissolve it. The minority partners are also asking for the appointment of a receiver or trustee to protect the assets and wind up the company’s business, an accounting of its finances and an order restraining Mariani from disposing assets.

David and Luciana Linn’s lawsuit accuses Mariani of unjust enrichment and breach of contract. They hired him in 2018 to build their dream home on Lincoln Lane in Purchase for a fixed price of nearly $3.6 million. Eventually, they paid $5.6 million. Even before work began, they claim, Mariani issued change orders for items that were part of the original project scope. The Linns also claim Mariani

abandoned the project as it neared completion, so they had to pay subcontractors directly to get the work done. In the 45 Bedford Road LLC case, Gargano and Linn are represented by White Plains attorneys Peter S. Dawson, Lee S. Wiederkehr and Eric J. Mandell. David and Luciana Linn are represented in their dream house lawsuit by White Plains attorney Matthew T. Worner.

The Marquee debuts in Yonkers BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

onkers Mayor Mike Spano along with members of the City Council and officials from the Yonkers Industrial Development Authority were on hand recently for a ceremony to mark the opening of The Marquee, an apartment building at 697 Bronx River Road. The building was developed by the Stagg Group, a company that had largely concentrated on projects in the Bronx after its founding in 1996 until expanding into Westchester several years ago. The company stated that it has built more than 3,500 units of affordable housing with a portfolio value exceeding $1.5 billion, while also doing market-rate projects. Stagg is working with Simone

Development on a three-phase, $200 million project at 26 Garden St. in New Rochelle. The project includes building a courthouse that will be used by Westchester County to house family court. The county signed a 30-year lease for 35,000 square feet of space. Also planned are parking facilities, a high-rise apartment tower and, in the third phase, a medical office building. The Yonkers apartment building is being promoted as offering state-of-the-art living for individuals and families of different sizes. Included among the 160 units are six studios, 42 one-bedroom, 91 two-bedroom and 21 three-bedroom units. The building contains approximately 240,000 square feet. Stagg Group CEO and Founder Mark Stagg referenced a project FCBJ

his company has underway at 411 Bronx River Road when he said, “This is our second building along this corridor, so we have over 210 units of new housing and we are excited about this project because the two- and three-bedroom units will bring a lot of young families to this area.” Stagg expressed optimism for the future of the part of Yonkers that is near the Metro-North Mount Vernon West station on the city’s eastern border with Mount Vernon. “When people think of developing in Yonkers they think of the west side; they think of that river. Guess what,” Stagg said. “Nobody talks about this river on the east side. You know, we’re next to the Bronx River so we’re real proud that … we’re able to bring residents to this transit-oriented block that

Prime location and accessibility will make this new residential experience desirable for new residents and its growing community to live, work and play.” Amenities include a gym, playground, bocce court, putting green and lounges. The Marquee was approved by the Yonkers Industrial Development Agency in 2018 for

a sales tax exemption of about $985,000, partial mortgage recording tax exemption and a payment in lieu of taxes for property tax benefits. On the IDA application, the developer estimated the cost of the project at $30.5 million. Among the apartments being advertised for rent in The Marquee by several real estate offices are a 400-square-foot studio at $2,100 a month, a 600-square-foot one-bedroom at $2,250 a month, a two-bedroom 950-squarefoot unit at $2,550 a month and three-bedroom 1,100-square-foot unit at $2,800 a month.

Connecting workers to new skills This health and humanitarian crisis has had a disproportionate impact on employment for people of color. Here in Southern Connecticut, there is an urgent need for skill building — including re-skilling and up-skilling — to create a clear pathway to jobs that can deliver upward mobility and economic stability. To drive progress, Bank of America is investing $1 billion over four years to advance racial equality and economic opportunity, building on work we’ve had underway for many years. We’re helping to connect people to the skills, resources and experience needed to succeed by building partnerships with nonprofits and local government, and through our own recruiting and hiring. This includes partnerships with Community Colleges that serve predominately Black and Hispanic/Latino students, and public Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Hispanic Serving Institutions. In Southern Connecticut, we remain committed to supporting organizations that help people in our community get the skills they need.

Connecticut, which is an affordable rental home community of 100 Cape Cod and colonial two-bedroom homes on 64 wooded acres. Village Manager Karen D’Attore told an Oct. 26 public meeting held at the Ossining development site, “The process we’re beginning now is a time for public input. There are a lot of different ways to look as how we do these things. We want to make sure this process gets as much input as possible from people in the community.” She said that the village in 2017 conducted a study that found a need for affordable housing as well promoting economic development without unduly impacting the local school district and displacing community residents. Balter told the meeting, “Our developments are a big mix of things. We do mostly residential communities. We do luxury senior housing. We do affordable senior housing. We’ve built a lot of houses in Croton and elsewhere. We do mixed-income developments. We sort of are specializing in sites like this. It’s a difficult site, lots of constraints.” The site was identified as a brownfield site by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation because of pollution and includes sloping terrain as well as a flood plain. Balter saw similarities between the Ossining site and one in Peekskill currently being developed by the company. The site of Wilder Balter’s 82-unit Peekskill affordable housing development has roads named Main Street and Central Avenue on its borders, just as does the Ossining site. Peekskill, too, was classified as a brownfield site, and both sites have sloping terrain. Balter explained that because of the change in grade, the building is four stories tall at the terrain’s highest elevation and rises to eight stories as the land slopes

to health care, and working across the aisle.” In a statement following this morning’s announcement, U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) called Biden “a man for this time, and I am thrilled the American people have spoken, and by decisive margin chosen him as our next President. This is good news for democracy, our country, and Connecticut. “No doubt, Donald Trump will not go away quietly,” Murphy added, “and now President-Elect Biden begins the unenviable balancing act of beginning a transition while simultaneously having to bat down frivolous legal and political challenges from President Trump. But the people have spoken, and now the peaceful handover of power must begin.”

CONGRESS

Democrats will retain their majority in the U.S. House of Representatives — though not by the large margin they had hoped for WCBJ

after doing so well in the 2018 midterms — and appear on track for a split in the Senate. Democratic candidates won in Arizona, where Mark Kelly defeated incumbent Sen. Martha McSally, and in Colorado, where John Hickenlooper beat incumbent Cory Gardner. Both of Georgia’s Senate races appear to be heading for runoffs in January, with Republican David Perdue facing Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff and GOP Sen. Kelly Loeffler running against Raphael Warnock. Should the Democrats win both runoffs, there would be a 50-50 tie in the Senate, which would be broken by Vice President Harris. In Connecticut, U.S. Reps. Jim Himes (4th) and Jahana Hayes (5th), both Democrats, won reelection; New York results follow. “This has been a campaign like no other,” Hayes observed in a statement this morning after Biden’s victory was announced. “We

have been through so much as a country — an unprecedented pandemic, an economic collapse, and a political process that has only sharpened our divisions. I look forward to the steady leadership of President-elect Biden and Vice-President-elect Harris to get our country out of this crisis and help our nation heal. “It is also important to recognize that this result leaves half the country jubilant and the other half frustrated and anxious,” she continued. “I want to assure my constituents that I am a representative for everyone. I hear all of your voices and I will continue to fight tirelessly for all of my constituents.”

NEW YORK

As expected, Democrats will maintain their majorities in both the Empire State’s Senate and Assembly. » ELECTION LATEST

Court orders bathroom access for BLT steakhouse in White Plains BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

LT steakhouse in White Plains got access to its bathrooms. A Westchester Supreme Court judge granted a temporary restraining order requiring Renaissance Hotel Partners to keep at least one bathroom open and to not interfere with restaurant operations. James Haber, BLT chief executive officer, claims that Renaissance had denied access to bathrooms, shut off power and locked out employees, according to an affidavit, in a campaign to force the restaurant to close so that the space could be leased to another tenant. BLT had already filed an arbitration case last month, demanding $100,000 and claiming that Renaissance was trying to terminate the lease improperly. It petitioned the court for the restraining order Oct 26. “Most of what Jimmy Haber said is correct,” Mark Weissman, a Renaissance partner, said in a telephone interview. “But there are a couple of very important omissions that frame the dispute in a different light.” Weissman, partner Yaniv Blumenfeld and attorney Alan Ederer said Renaissance acted only out of concerns for health and safety and to protect the company from liability. BLT is at 3 Renaissance Square, in the former Ritz-Carlton Hotel. It has entrances in the hotel and on Main Street in the heart of White Plains. The location is something of a steakhouse row: a Morton’s and a new Fogo de Chao Brazilian Steakhouse are a block away, and Z Prime Italian Steakhouse is nearby. BLT leased the 7,500-squarefoot, ground floor space from Cappelli Enterprises in 2009. Renaissance, an affiliate of Glacier Global Partners in Manhattan, acquired the lease last year. The business is structured as a 50-50 joint venture. Profits are split evenly. Renaissance, as the managing member, is responsible for finances and business affairs. BLT runs the restaurant. The steakhouse closed temporarily in March, when Gov. Andrew Cuomo ordered restaurants to shut because of the Covid-19 pandemic. BLT notified Renaissance this past summer that it planned to start up again, and it reopened Sept. 1. That’s when the trouble began, according to BLT’s version of events. Renaissance required BLT to give 48 hours’ notice for entering the building, with an escort, before the opening. Power was shut off and equipment was turned off, exposing

departments were called about alleged violations. Most of the measures were taken after the hotel was vandalized recently, Blumenfeld said. The Ritz-Carlton is being converted to a Marriott Autograph Collection Hotel and is under renovation. The complex also has 240 residences. “We’re very concerned about access,” he said. “Anyone can walk through the lobby.” Renaissance also is concerned about health and safety, with the hotel construction work and the potential of Covid-19 spreading in the restaurant. Another concern is financial liability. BLT applied for a federal Payroll Protection Program loan without consulting with

Renaissance, Weissman said. Renaissance was concerned about how the PPP money would be allocated and what would be done to protect everyone’s health and safety, he said, and given the concerns about potential liability, “we didn’t’ want any part of that.” “We don’t think they have authority to be open in the first place,” Ederer, the Renaissance attorney, said. BLT argues in its petition that Renaissance did not have the authority to unilaterally stop restaurant operations. It claims its reputation has been damaged and profits have been lost. BLT is represented by White Plains attorneys Alfred Donnellan and Nelida Lara.

t’s not over-the-counter marijuana products that are being sold in a new store in Mount Kisco, although some people may think that’s the case. The new retail outlet Your CBD Store sells items containing cannabidiol (CBD), which comes from industrial hemp plants that are not the same as marijuana plants as defined by the U.S Department of Agriculture. Your CBD Store is a nationwide retailer of CBD products that franchises retail territories in more than 40 states. Cathy Parlitsis, a resident of Somers, is the owner and operator of the store — the chain’s 679th outlet — at 222 E. Main St. The products on sale are positioned as being herbal supplements. Your CBD Store features a disclaimer: “The products are not intended for the cure, diagnosis, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease in man or animal.” According to Harvard Medical School, CBD is one of the two main active compounds derived from the marijuana plant. The other is tetrahydrocanna-binol, or THC, which is the substance that that produces the “high” from marijuana. The species of hemp plant used in making the CBD products does not normally contain enough THC to have an effect, if any at all. Marijuana, on the other hand, contains CBD along with THC. While there are numerous anecdotes regarding CBD products having benefi-

cial effects for people dealing with medical conditions, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as of Oct. 1 said: “FDA recognizes the potential opportunities that cannabis or cannabis-derived compounds may offer and acknowledges the significant interest in these possibilities. “However,” it continued, “FDA is aware that some companies are marketing products containing cannabis and cannabis-derived compounds in ways that violate the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) and that may put the health and safety of consumers at risk.” In July, the FDA approved the use of a CBD drug to treat a rare form of epilepsy. To date, that is the only CBD product that has been FDA-approved as being safe and effective for use. Your CBD Store offers a variety of CBDinfused products that don’t require a prescription or medical card to buy. All of its stores only sell products manufactured by the company SunMed, which says that its products are treated to remove all traces of THC. A ribbon cutting was held to mark the formal opening of the Mount Kisco store on Oct. 28. Kristine Mullen, co-vice president of the Mount Kisco Chamber of Commerce, and Mayor Gina D. Picinich joined Parlitsis for the ceremony. “Everything we do is focused on improving the lives of our customers,” Parlitsis said. “We are a high-quality learning environment where customers can try products and leave knowing what is in their CBD product.”

Collision course: Body shops fight for control of garage BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

wo White Plains auto body shops are fighting for control of a garage, each claiming that the other is interfering with business and costing them customers, while both are facing eviction. Mitchell Automotive Inc., run by Anthony Masella, sued City Cars Metropolitan Ltd., run by Vinny Macchia, last month in Westchester Supreme Court, accusing City Cars of blocking access to the property. It is Masella and Mitchell Automotive who are obstructing business, Macchia said in an interview, and using more parking spaces than bargained for. “It’s a crazy situation,” said the landlord, Peter Plati Jr. of Ossining. “Everything’s on hold. I can’t rent to who I want to rent to.” Plati owns the property at 25 Irving Place, near Kittrel Park, in an industrial area at the edge of downtown White Plains. City Cars signed a five-year lease in 2013 with Plati’s 25 Irving Place LLC. The deal included an option to buy the property within five years, for $950,000 and the right of first refusal if another buyer was found, according to a lawsuit that City Cars filed in 2018 against 25 Irving Place. Macchia claimed that he tried to buy the property in 2017, but a deal was never reached. Then in 2018, Plati tried to evict him. White Plains City Court approved the eviction order but City Cars has appealed the decision. Mitchell Automotive arrived on the scene in 2018, after it was displaced from its base at 9 Mitchell Place, near Mamaroneck Avenue, when a developer took over the site for two 28-story apartment towers. City Cars agreed to sublease 40% of its space to Mitchell Automotive. “I said no, no, no,” Plati said. “You didn’t get my permission.” Last year, Plati leased the entire premises to Mitchell Automotive for five years, beginning at $10,000 a month. Then City Cars tried to evict Mitchell Automotive. That case is pending. Mitchell Automotive claims in its lawsuit that City Cars is in effect evicting him by blocking access to the property. It is entitled to park 10 cars on the site, according to the lawsuit, but City Cars allows only two or three cars and blocks the garage. As a result, customers are discouraged from doing business with him.

Macchia said in an interview that Mitchell Automotive is entitled to park only three customer cars outside and use two bays in the garage. He said Mitchell’s mechanics use City Cars’ tools and has illegally installed a sign on the building. “This is my house,” he said. “It’s like a robber comes into your house and says, ‘I want this and I want that and oh by the way, I want your wife.’” “Whatever’s happening between the two of them, let it happen,” Plati, the landlord said. “I’m not getting involved at this point because we’re in court and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Yonkers neighbors go to court over UPS proposal BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

s the Business Journal reported back in August as likely, residents from the Grassy Sprain neighborhood of Yonkers have gone to court in the latest stage of their opposition to plans for changes at the UPS distribution site at 555 Tuckahoe Road. They have filed an Article 78 proceeding seeking to reverse, annul and declare null and void the city’s approvals of plans that involve making physical changes and expanding operations at the site. The filing was made in State Supreme Court in White Plains by Attorney Joel H. Sachs of the law firm Keane & Beane on behalf of the Grassy Sprain Civic Association, Sprain Lake Knolls Civic Association, Winchester Homeowners Association and 13 individuals. The Notice of Petition filed with the court names as respondents the Yonkers Planning Board, its chairman Roman Kozicky, Yonkers Housing and Buildings Commissioner Vincent Pici, Tuckahoe Owners LLC, Alfred Weissman Real Estate

Election Latest—

Democrat incumbent Shelley Mayer defeated Republican Liviu Saimovici in the 37th, while in the 39th, Democrat incumbent James Skoufis beat Republican Steve Brescia. In the race to replace Sen. David Carlucci (D) in the 38th, the favored Democrat Elijah Reichlin-Melnick was trailing Republican William Weber Jr. And in the closely watched 40th, former Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino (R) appeared to have defeated incumbent Democrat Peter Harckham, 53% to 47%. In the State Assembly, Westchester race results were overwhelmingly pro-Democrat. Amy Paulin (88th), J. Gary Pretlow (89th), Nader Sayegh (90th), Steven Otis (91st), and Thomas Abinati (92nd) all ran unopposed.

LLC and United Parcel Service Inc. The distribution center consists of a 22.6-acre property divided into three sections, with the first and third sections totaling 15.6 acres and improved with the two-story 303,887-square-foot UPS distribution center building along with related surface parking and infrastructure. The other section consists of a 150-room hotel operated by Hampton Inn & Suites and was not involved in the planning board actions. The lawsuit asks the court to dismiss the planning board’s actions that determined a full environmental impact statement would not be necessary for the project, approved a truck refueling depot for the site while granting a waiver of the zoning code requirement that fuel storage tanks be placed underground and granted site plan approval for UPS, Weissman and Tuckahoe Owners. “There are approximately 2,000 households surrounding the site on three sides,” Sachs told the Business Journal after the lawsuit was filed. “This UPS distribution center is like a little island surrounded by residential uses.” Sachs said that they want the court to rescind the planning board’s negative dec-

laration regarding environmental impacts and demand that the planning board issue a positive declaration so that an environmental impact statement would have to be prepared. “We sued the chairman of the planning board because we want the planning board to actually hold a public hearing on the site plan application,” Sachs said. “The chairman, Mr. Kozicky, determined that there would be no public hearing at any time on the UPS site plan application even though it affects several thousand people. “We were never allowed to speak at any planning board hearing, never allowed to present our views, never allowed to question the planning board, never allowed to question the applicant UPS, never allowed to question their consultants and the whole planning board review was basically a twoway dialogue between the planning board and the UPS representatives and our clients were completely shut out of the site plan review process, which we claim is also a violation of due process.” The lawsuit claims that an employee parking lot being built to the north and rear of the warehouse is being done illegally and

in violation of a pledge previously made to residents that the area would be preserved as greenspace. “I think we can show irreparable harm and we may be requesting the court for some kind of preliminary injunctive relief,” Sachs said. “Our clients’ position is that we don’t think UPS is going away; they’ve evidently signed a long-term lease for the site. “The problem we’ve had since day one is that they’ve completely ignored the concerns of the neighbors. They’ve completely ignored the significant environmental impacts with the 24/7 operations, with noise, with odors, with refueling and they have a large number of vehicles that they are going to have onsite for delivery of packages. They have trailer-trucks coming in from the airports in the middle of the night with overnight deliveries.” Sachs again expressed a willingness to sit down with UPS and attempt to address the various issues. When asked by the Business Journal for reaction to the lawsuit, a spokesperson for the city of Yonkers said, “We believe the city and the board acted lawfully and we believe this lawsuit is without merit.”

Mondaire Jones won the seat held by Nita Lowey, who is retiring after 16 terms, by beating Maureen McArdle-Schulman (R). In the 18th, incumbent Democrat Sean Patrick Maloney led Chele Farley. Other notable New York races found Democrats Jerrold Nadler (10th), Carolyn Maloney (12th), and Alexandria OcasioCortez (14th) all being returned to the U.S. House. The bitter fight for the 11th between incumbent Max Rose and Republican Nicole Malliotakis appeared to favor the challenger, although Rose insisted he would triumph once all ballots are counted. The county favored Biden over Trump, 63.3% to 35.6%.

Republican Kevin Kelly (21st) ran unopposed; on Thursday he was named the new Senate Republican Leader, succeeding retiring Len Fasano. GOP incumbents Republican Tony Hwang won the 28th over Michelle McCabe, and Kevin Witkos took the 8th over Democratic challenger Melissa Osborne. On the Connecticut House side, incumbent Democrat David Arconti bested Michael Henry in the 109th, while incumbent Bob Godfrey defeated Republican challenger Erin Domenech in the 110th. Other Democratic incumbents winning reelection were Philip Young (120th), Joseph Gresko (121st); Charlie Stallworth 126th); Chris Perone (137th); Travis Simms (140th); Lucy Dathan (142nd); Caroline Simmons (unopposed, 144th); Patricia Miller (145th); David Michel (146th); and Daniel Fox (148th). Jennifer Leeper declared a win over incumbent Republican Brian Farnen in the 132nd, while incumbent Democrats Andre Baker defeated Jasmin Sanchez (124th); Jack Hennessy topped Peter Perillo (127th); Christopher Rosario bested Ethan Book (128th); Steve Stafstrom beat Helene Kouassi (129th); Antonio Felipe defeated Terrence Sullivan (130th); Cristin McCarthy Vahey won over Joanne Romano-Csonka (133rd); Anne Hughes bested John Shaban (135th); Jonathan Sternberg defeated Chip Stephens (136th); and Matt Blumenthal beat Dan Maymin (147th). As for Republican incumbents, Ben McGorty defeated Jose Goncalves in the 122nd, while David Rutigliano led Sujata Gadkar-Wilcox by fewer than 500 votes with

nearly 100% reporting in the 123rd. Jason Perillo defeated Elaine Matto in the 113th, but Democrat Aimee Berger-Girvalo claimed victory in the 111th over Bob Hebert, flipping what had long been a Republican seat occupied by John Frey for 22 years. A hotly contested rematch of 2018 between incumbent Mitch Bolinsky and Democratic challenger Rebekah HarrimanStites for the 106th appeared to have gone in Bolinsky’s favor. Elsewhere in the county, Republican incumbent Stephen Harding beat Kerri Colombo in the 107th; incumbent Republican Laura Devlin led Carla Volpe in the 134th; incumbent Democrat Kevin was ahead of Caleb Espinosa in the 139th; and Democrat Stephanie Thomas won over Patrizia Zucaro in the 143rd. Also, Republican Kimberly Fiorello led Kathleen Stowe in the 149th and Republican incumbent Harry Arora was ahead of Hector Arzeno in the 151st. Republican incumbents J.P. Sredzinski, Thomas O’Dea, David Labriola, and Terrie Wood ran unopposed in the 112th, 125th, 131st, and 141st, respectively, as did Democrat Caroline Simmons in the 144th. Meanwhile, in the race to succeed retiring State House Republican Leader Themis Klarides in the 114th, Democrat Mary Welander was leading Dan DeBarba. Democrat Matt Ritter won reelection in the 1st and will succeed retiring Joe Aresimowicz as Speaker of the House. The county favored Biden over Trump, 60.4% to 38.3%.

CONNECTICUT

Nutmeg State Democrats also will retain control of both chambers of the General Assembly. Senate President Pro Tempore Martin Looney (D-New Haven) easily defeated Jameson White in the 11th, while Sen.

Ardsley skin doc cuts losses and files for bankruptcy BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

n Ardsley doctor who leases expensive laser equipment says he misjudged the demand for cosmetic procedures and now needs to “shed” the payments. Dr. Laurence C. Miller, who operates Westchester Aesthetic Center, offers cosmetic procedures such as Botox injections, laser skin rejuvenation, body sculpting, hair implants and liposuction, for which he says he leased several special lasers “in anticipation of an abundant interest in those services.” “Unfortunately, the demand for those services did not come to fruition,” Miller states in an affidavit filed Oct. 23 with a Chapter 11 petition in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, White Plains. Most of the lasers and equipment are going unused and he has been unable to renegotiate the leases, totaling about $45,000 a month, or return the equipment, Miller said. He filed for bankruptcy protection, he said, “to shed the exorbitant lease payments” and stay in business. The medical practice had made $1,006,351 this year, as of the filing date of the petition, $2,138,077 last year and $2,061,974 in 2018. Miller declared $26,002 in assets and $322,528 in liabilities. He owes JPMorgan Chase $162,785 for a business loan, line of credit and Small Business Administration loan, as well as unspecified amounts to several equipment leasing companies. He leases office space at the Ardsley Professional Complex on Saw Mill River Road. Miller has practiced medicine in Westchester since 1999, according to his website, beginning with internal medicine, pulmonology and critical care. For the past 15 years, he has been perfecting his technique, according to his website, “making him one of the best in the business.” The petition lists one pending lawsuit, filed in September in Orange County, California, by Balboa Capital Corp., an equipment financing company. The petition does not list a malpractice lawsuit that was filed Sept. 1 in Westchester Supreme Court. Alyssa Goldberg of Mamaroneck accused Miller and his medical practice of failing to properly perform cosmetic surgery procedures last year, or to “monitor and timely treat post-op infections.” She claims she incurred expenses for medical, hospital and nursing services, according to the complaint, “and will continue to incur expenses in the future.” Miller denied any wrongdoing in an answer filed Oct. 7, and stated that he is a “skilled, competent and qualified physician

‘Needle moving in right direction’ for CT manufacturers BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

rying to remain competitive with other states has been a tall order for Connecticut — one that certainly has not been helped by the Covid19 crisis. But Kelli Vallieres, named executive director of the newly formed Connecticut Workforce Development Unit in July, believes that positive momentum is already underway. The Workforce Development Unit operates within the Department of Economic and Community Development; Vallieres works with DECD Commissioner David Lehman, state Labor Department Commissioner Kurt Westby, and

As evidence, she pointed to the 50-page “Workforce Strategic Plan,” published by the Workforce Council last week. That plan’s focus includes building an educational system about work that can appeal to children as young as kindergarten age, offering various tools to support students and job seekers and establishing a data system infrastructure that tracks outcomes and progress of the workforce. Workforce Council Chair Garrett Moran called the strategic plan “a critical first step in developing a nation-leading workforce in Connecticut” — something that Vallieres elaborated upon. “There is a huge generation gap that we’re facing in manufacturing,” she said. “That so-called ‘silver tsunami’ is very real — about 40% of our workforce is retiring over the next three to five years. That’s a huge amount of highly skilled workers and the challenge is to backfill that with younger workers.” While Vallieres said progress is being made in that area, “upskilling” or “reskilling” both existing and incoming workers represents another challenge. But efforts are being made to address that via funding from the federal CARES Act. On Oct. 25, Gov. Ned Lamont announced the allocation of $15 million from the state’s Coronavirus Relief Fund, which utilizes CARES Act money, to fund workforce programs that will provide job training to more than 1,000 displaced workers in the state and connect them to highgrowth, in-demand jobs. Examples of that funding include $250,115 to Bridgeportbased The WorkPlace, which is partnering with local employers and community colleges to train 50 people as community health workers; $915,000 to the Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) to train 60 residents for advanced manufacturing jobs; and $762,663 to the Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) system for programs to prepare 100 students for jobs such as medical assistants and emergency medical technicians. Part of that education, Vallieres said, comes from the need for “workers to learn employability skills, not just technical skills. They need to be able to demonstrate

problem-solving, communication and planning abilities that can cut across jobs and industries.” The need for employability skills has been a recurring concern for manufacturers in the last three editions of the CBIA’s Connecticut Manufacturing Report, she noted: “That’s really the ‘it’ factor.” Vallieres said she is a firm believer that “workforce development begins in kindergarten. Building career pathway programs for young people can be vital. By talking with them at such a young age about what they’re interested in, you can find the fire that sparks their interest. And if you can continue to build that interest, by the time they’re in high school they can be careerand college-ready.” She noted that, as part of the aforementioned CARES Act funding, The Connecticut Office of Early Childhood is receiving $5.3 million to partner with nonprofit All Our Kin to train and license 165 family childcare programs and provide the overall childcare supply for individuals in workforce training programs. Vallieres — who previously was CEO of Sound Manufacturing Inc., a sheet metal fabrication manufacturer, and Monster Power Equipment, a manufacturer of landscaping equipment, both in Old Saybrook — is also a former member of the CBIA board of directors and a member of the Connecticut Manufacturers’ Alliance, among others. It was through such experiences that she learned the importance of collaboration, she said; the much-dreaded “silos” were detrimental not only to manufacturing in general but also to specific companies. Having served as vice chair of the Governor’s Workforce Council, Vallieres said she appreciates how well the public-private partnerships that Lamont favors can work. Noting that the state’s manufacturing sector was given an invaluable lifeline by the governor when it was deemed an essential business, Vallieres repeated her belief that the sector has in effect turned the Covid corner. “Right now manufacturing is down about 7% from last year,” she said. “But that’s up from a low of about 12%. We’re not through this yet — but we’re on our way.”

Five elements of an effective gift card marketing strategy BY MICHAEL GUBERTI

For branding purposes, have your logo display on your gift cards. If someone purchases the gift card for a friend or family member, that friend or family member may see your logo for the first time on the gift card.

1. Allow someone to choose the recipient of the gift card Allow people to specify if they are buying the gift card for themselves or for someone else. The gift card software that you use may allow the buyer to submit the recipient’s name and email address. That way, the gift card can be sent to the recipient immediately or in the future.

2. Offer a special starting on Black Friday In 2019, Americans spent $7.4 billion online during Black Friday. Consider offering a special on your gift cards starting on Black Friday. One of my clients starts their gift card promotion on Black Friday and continues the offer through the rest of the year. You have options. You can start the promotion on Black Friday and end it on Cyber Monday, or continue it until the New Year. To promote your gift cards, consider using this wording: Give the gift of (the benefit of your product or service) to a friend or family member, or treat yourself with a gift card from (the name of your business)! For example: Give the gift of beauty to a friend or family member, or treat yourself with a gift card

ith the holidays approaching, gift cards are a useful way to potentially introduce you to more people and generate sales. It’s been reported that “80% of consumers reported receiving a digital or physical gift card for the 2019 holidays, making the cards a significant source of revenue.” I recently set up a gift card program for a new client. She emailed me saying, “Good news. Sold my first gift card. Let’s place it at the top of the website. Thanks.” Discover the five elements of an effective promotional strategy for gift cards just in time for the holiday season:

from ABC Medical Aesthetics & Spa! 3. Promote your gift cards on all of your platforms Send emails to your subscribers about your gift cards. Consider sending a text message with a link to your gift card order page. Promote the gift card special on Instagram, Facebook, Google My Business, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn, your podcast and other platforms. Add a gift card button to your Instagram account. Instagram lets you add a button to your Instagram profile if you use one of their gift card partners. In North America, Instagram’s gift card partners are Gift Up, Kabbage, LoyLap, Raise, Rise.ai, Square, Toast and Yiftee. Create a page on the website featuring your gift cards, or link to your gift card order page if you use one of the platforms like Square. 4. Prevent people from combining promotions, discounts and gift cards Add language similar to this in your gift card promotions: “Cannot be combined with discounts, offers, memberships or gift cards.” This helps prevent someone

from trying to “double-dip” by combining multiple promotions, specials and gift cards when engaging with your business. 5. Have a plan in place when someone wants to redeem their gift card Do you, your front desk staff, receptionist or other relevant staff members know what steps to perform if someone wants to redeem their gift card? Role-play an example of someone redeeming their gift card so you and your team are prepared. Bringing it all together In a given year, Americans spent $25 billion on gift cards for other people, $14 billion on gift cards for themselves and employers buy $3 billion worth of gift cards to give to their employees. Set up and promote your gift cards effectively and consistently just in time for the holiday season. Feeling overwhelmed?

AT HOME IN A WORLD OF PHOTOS

BY GEORGETTE GOUVEIA

EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE, WE MEET A COUPLE WHOSE CREATIVITY AND PASSIONS ARE PERFECTLY IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER AND WITH THE ARTISTIC INTERESTS OF WAG MAGAZINE. John Bigelow Taylor and Dianne Dubler are such a couple. We first introduced you to the Highland Falls, New York, pair in our September story on the late Frederic Zaavy — the otherworldly jeweler whose nature-inspired creations are true works of art and whose unusual presence echoed the title character of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s “Le Petit Prince.” Zaavy had asked the couple to do a book on his career, a request that became more urgent in the last years of his life, which ended in 2011. The resulting “Stardust: The Work and Life of Jeweler Extraordinaire Frederic Zaavy” ($75, 245 pages) wagmag.com/stardust-memories/ — photographed, produced and packaged by Taylor and Dubler and published by Milan’s Officina Libraria — is slated to be released in November. But “Stardust” is just one kind of book that the pair do, Dubler says. “We do bespoke books that are not for general consumption,” Taylor says, “where we’re commissioned to photograph important houses, beautiful grounds and important collections.” They may create less than 10 copies or 1,000 for estates on the Hudson River, in Greenwich or out on Long Island, among other locales. These are published through their imprint, Kubaba Books, which began in the 1980s. “ ‘Kubaba’ is the oldest Indo-European word for the Anatolian Mother Goddess,” Dubler says. It is key to their work and life stories, she adds, “because the other side of all this is our world travels.” When the couple met on the winter solstice (Dec. 22), 1970 — he was in commercial film; she was a journalist for The Times, Trenton and The Trentonian — it was the spark for a relationship that would take them to such places as Afghanistan, India, Mexico, Nepal and especially Turkey over the

course of several decades as they explored their interests in prehistoric and ancient art. “The photography came out of traveling,” Taylor says. “It became an important part of our transition.” Looking for more stable careers in the late 1970s than the little jewelry and old furniture import and T-shirt businesses they had been pursuing, the couple heeded the words of their mentor, the collector Gillett Griffin — a curator and scholar of Pre-columbian and Native American art at Princeton University Art Museum. “Since you love art, why not photograph it?” Taylor recalls him saying.

WCBJ

They left their New Jersey base and moved to Manhattan, where they would have a series of four studio/lofts around the island. Over 40 years, they photographed more than 250 books on everything from jewelry to architecture for such clients as Harry N. Abrams Inc., (now Abrams and still one of the premier publishers of luxury art books), and the Adelson Galleries, located in Manhattan and Palm Beach, whose owners, Jan and Warren Adelson, were longtime Westchester residents. Among these books were two involving two of the most high powered women in modern times — former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s “Read My Pins: Stories From a Diplomat’s Jewel Box” (Harper, 2009) and “Elizabeth Taylor: My Love Affair With Jewelry” (Simon & Schuster, 2002). John Taylor remembers Albright as “very, very sharp, smart, friendly and dynamic. Her issue was that men have their ties, what did we women have? Well, she had her brooches.” And they played a key role in brooch diplomacy, as Albright used them to signal everything from a mood to a policy. When Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein called her a snake, she turned up for a meeting with Iraqi officials sporting a serpent pin. For Albright’s book, Taylor and Dubler photographed some 200 to 300 out of 1,000 brooches in their Manhattan studio. Their encounter with two-time Oscar-winning actress and AIDS fundraiser Elizabeth Taylor was equally memorable, with the couple photographing her jewels in the trophy room of her Bel Air home. Though the

actress was fairly reclusive with a number of health issues, she would pop in during the evening, when she got up, to say “hello.” “We thought she was great,” John Taylor says, adding that her famed violet eyes seemed to say she just wanted to have fun. Around the same time they were meeting Liz Taylor, the couple received a commission from Jacob Rothschild and Paul Gottlieb — the legendary publisher and editor in chief of Harry N. Abrams and another mentor — that would lead them deeper into the world of bespoke publishing. Producing the images for “Waddesdon Manor: A Biography of a Rothschild House” — in the village of Waddesdon, Buckinghamshire, England — Taylor and Dubler saw “The Red Book,” a bespoke volume on the house that Frederick de Rothschild, the original owner of the manor, created in 1897. The less than 10 copies were given to family members and, in one special case, Queen Victoria upon her visit. From “The Red Book,” Kubaba Books took off. A year ago, Taylor and Dubler moved exclusively to their place in Highland Falls. “One of the reasons we left New York City is that most of our work is done on location,” Taylor says. This will include for upcoming bespoke books on a big estate on Long Island and one on the Hudson River, for which the couple will play their usual complementary roles. On the shoots, Taylor is the technical one; Dubler, the stylist. “Our lives have been a privilege of extraordinary places and extraordinary people,” Taylor says. The books are, he adds, “a continuation of our own life adventure.” For more, visit kubaba.com.

Sacred Heart University to roll out telehealth tech program BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

acred Heart University will begin offering an online certificate program this spring for advanced practice nurses who want to study telehealth technology. While a new interest in telehealth has been sparked by the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on health care practices, the subject is hardly a new notion. “Telehealth actually has been around for 30 to 40 years,” said Dr. Donna McHaney, clinical associate professor and director of the online family nurse practitioner and doctor of nursing practice programs at the university’s Dr. Susan L. Davis, RN & Richard J. Henley College of Nursing. “It can be anything from telephone visits to where you do a full head-totoe assessment with telehealth

equipment.” McHaney, speaking in an upcoming interview on Westfair Video Conversations — the YouTube channel of the Business Journal — noted the new program was in the planning stages long before Covid-19 came about. “This program has been under development for about a year and a half,” she said. “We’ve been working on developing the program for advanced practice nurses, particularly nurse practitioners. And we’ve worked toward making sure that we have the content we need and the expertise we need to teach the courses as well.” McHaney explained that telehealth technology has advanced to the point that patients can have medical professionals listen to their lungs and view their eyes and ears with the same thor-

oughness as being in-person at a clinical visit. In formulating the program, the university considered the various modalities of telehealth and sought to incorporate it thoroughly into its nursing curriculum. The new program consists of four eight-week courses spanning two semesters, with the first three courses being conducted online. “We’ll be teaching students about what telehealth really is, beginning with what it could be for them in their clinic,” McHaney continued. “We’ll teach them about reimbursement, about how to set up equipment. In the last eight weeks, they’ll actually do clinical hours out in the field with some partners who will be letting them experience telehealth.” Sacred Heart’s spring semester begins on Jan. 4 and McHaney

said her department is already taking admissions for the new program. “I’ve interviewed a lot of individuals,” she said. “We’re getting a lot of feedback from it — it’s very popular.” McHaney said the introduction of the telehealth program is coming at a time when the university is fielding more interest from students who are looking to expand their careers within nursing. “In my particular programs, we have seen an increase in individuals wanting to change their career from just regular nurses to nurse practitioners so that they can help provide that care that’s needed in the industry,” she said. “There are a lot of people who come to nursing anyway, but I think because of Covid there are a lot of individuals who want to FCBJ

WCBJ

contribute and they’re looking at nursing programs as a whole, not just family nurse practitioner programs.” McHaney is eager for the program to help raise greater awareness of telehealth options not only among patients, but also practitioners who are still new to the idea. “There were also health care providers that were like, ‘Oh, gosh, what are we going to do? How are we going to handle this?’” she said. “They’re new to even using Zoom or some of these other types of platforms for telehealth. I think it’s been a learning experience for everybody — and that’s why the telehealth certificate is such a good thing because we can train people to have that knowledge and skills to incorporate it into their practice.” NOVEMBER 9, 2020

Women’s rights raised in Sacred Heart University conference BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

acred Heart University in Fairfield moved its annual College of Arts & Sciences Conference online at the end of October. This is the fourth year for the conference, in which more than 40 faculty members representing multiple disciplines discussed a variety of subjects that included women’s rights, voting rights, coping with grief, feminism, social media, the climate, and pharmaceuticals. With it being a presidential election year, it was only natural for the right of women to vote along with other women’s rights to receive special attention among the subjects discussed. Feminism was explored by Amanda Moras, associate professor and associate dean for success at the College of Arts & Sciences. She noted that the first Women’s Rights Convention took place in 1851 and that back then white women often compared themselves to slaves, referring

to marriage as slavery. However, she said, these women failed to take into consideration how Black women were dealing with achieving women’s rights and civil rights at the same time. Teaching grief and loss to students online was covered by professors at the School of Social Work Suzanne Marmo and Patricia Carl-Stannard. They explained that the goal of a course they teach is to raise students’ awareness about life, loss and transition. The class is split into four sections: identifying types of loss, loss as a result of trauma, loss as a result of illness and assessing the role of spirituality in coping with loss. They said that because modern-day students are used to blocking out what they don’t like, online content must be attention grabbing and engaging. They reported that because working toward obtaining a master’s degree in social work is so emotionally challenging, they had to find a way to engage students with uncomfortable material.

Part of teaching grief and loss in the in-person classroom, they said, is establishing a safe space and ownership of class and they needed to translate that to the online classroom. So, before the course begins, Marmo and Carl-Stannard ask their students what a safe space in the online classroom means to them and require them to commit to maintaining confidentiality regarding that takes place and what their classmates may say. They also teach what they call “netiquette,” internet etiquette, and provide peer support networks, which they call peer cafés. This involves students having discussions within their group while the only outsiders with access are Marmo and CarlStannard. An assistant history lecturer, Kelly Marino, spoke about early feminism in Connecticut, starting with the Connecticut Women’s Suffrage Association in 1869, which voted to disband in 1921. She explained that the organization was successful in

achieving some gains but struggled to attain voting rights and, in fact, Connecticut did not vote to ratify the 19th Amendment to the U.S Constitution until after it had already gone into effect. The required 36 states had already voted approval. In September 1920, Connecticut became the 37th state to ratify the 19th Amendment that declared, “The right of citizens of the United

States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” Marino pointed out that in the early 1900s, Connecticut it was mainly conservative, rural Republican, pro-business and resistant to change. She said that many Connecticut residents supported President Woodrow Wilson, who opposed women’s suffrage and frequently traveled to Lyme.

In Brief 15 remote learning centers receive CARES Act funding

estchester County Executive George Latimer said that $1.27 million in CARES Act funding will be awarded to remote learning centers throughout the county. Latimer said that with the federal funding, county taxpayers will bear none of the costs. “Our children, and their education, will always remain a top priority,” Latimer said. “Students need to be able to continue their schooling whether it be in person or remote, and parents need to be able to return to work to maintain essential services, and help our local economy bounce back.” U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-New York) said he was “proud to announce Westchester is using $1.27 million of the $168 million I secured for the county in the CARES Act to create remote learning centers and improve Westchester students’ access to education regardless of their socioeconomic status.” “This funding will ensure that remote centers in Westchester County have the resources needed to provide remote learning and reliable broadband connectivity, to purchase PPE, and to implement safety protocols that will keep children safe while receiving high-quality education and care,” said U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-New York). The agencies that received a portion of the $1.27 million in CARES Act funding are:

quarantine after six new Covid-19 cases among students were identified. The schools stated that five of the cases were confirmed on Oct. 30 and the sixth on Oct. 31. Another positive Covid-19 case involving a commuter student was also confirmed. According to the UConn Covid-19 dashboard, there are 235 students living in the residence hall, which opened in 2017. The quarantine period will run for 14 days and students will be tested for Covid-19 during this period. UConn added that all commuter students taking in-person classes were required to be tested before returning to the campus.

UCONN SUSPENDS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM

The University of Connecticut has announced

a temporary pause on The Connecticut Commitment, its scholarship program for low-income students. The Connecticut Commitment, which was introduced by UConn President Thomas C. Katsouleas during his October 2019 inauguration, helps to cover tuition costs for qualified undergraduate and transfer students with household incomes below $50,000. However, problems with ongoing UConn fundraising and continued uncertainty over the university’s financial health in the coming years forced the program to be put on hold. “Pausing the program is the hardest decision I’ve had to make since arriving here,” Katsouleas said. “While unfortunate and regrettable, I believe that this is a prudent and necessary choice to make at this time.” Approximately 260 students received an

average of $2,600 through the program in the first cohort that started this fall. Katsouleas said the school will continue to provide funding to those students while they remain at UConn. The earliest the program would be able to continue would be in fiscal year 2022, he said. “While paused, the university will reassess this program going forward and given the uncertainty we are facing, I cannot make any prediction about what the future holds for the program,” he said. “What is certain is that we will continue the work of raising critical dollars to support our neediest students. The mission of ensuring that every deserving student admitted to UConn can attend the public flagship independent of their financial means remains core to who we are.” — Phil Hall and Peter Katz

WINTER WARMTH TO UNITED WAY FOR THOSE IN NEED

Carter Morse & Goodrich Expands Team The recent hiring of two analysts by Carter Morse & Goodrich (CMG) has expanded its execution capabilities. Michael Carter, managing partner of the firm said, “We are continuing our growth with the hiring of both Emmett Iheagwara and Nick Sciortino. Both excelled during their internships with CMG over the past couple of months and we are excited to have them join us on a full-time basis…”

From left: Mark Blandford, executive vice president, Diamond Properties; Michelle Pollas, Human Development Services of Westchester; Tom Gabriel, president and CEO of United Way Westchester and Putnam; and Kemi Pogue, founder and program facilitator for Hit a Home Run Against Drugs.

A shipment of desperately needed supplies from Delta Air Lines and a coalition of groups who worked together, including Good360, Penske Logistics and Diamond Properties, were recently given to United Way of Westchester and Putnam (UWWP). More than 700,000 duvets, blankets and pillows were provided and distribution to social services agencies, schools, homeless shelters in Westchester, the Bronx and other locations in the metro area has already begun. Several hundred agencies are expected to receive goods from now through Friday, Nov. 13. “More than 40% of our neighbors are living in poverty, paycheck to pay-

check or are food insecure right now. Winter is always a difficult time, but with the pandemic and the depletion of supplies, these blankets and pillows generously donated by Delta Air Lines will keep hundreds of thousands of our neighbors warm in the coming months. We also want to thank Good360, Penske Logistics and Diamond Properties for their assistance,” said Tom Gabriel, president and CEO of United Way of Westchester and Putnam. “It is partnerships like these that help us to fulfill our mission to lift up people in crisis to self-sufficiency.’’ As a Good360 nonprofit partner, UWWP has access to highly needed, donated goods that Good360 sources

from hundreds of socially responsible corporate donors. To help facilitate this donation, Penske donated transportation services to deliver the goods to a Mount Kisco warehouse that was provided by Diamond Properties. Gabriel said that in the past year, United Way has provided $2 million in donations through the Essential Goods for Basic Needs program, which helps to funnel millions in corporate and other donations to the public through its not-for-profit partnerships. Faith Butcher, chief impact officer for UWWP, said United Way is asking agencies in need of blankets and pillows to contact UWWP at uwwp.org or call 914-997-6700.

Emmett Iheagwara Prior to joining CMG, Iheagwara worked at a boutique full-service sports agency located in New York. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Connecticut, and earned his Juris Doctorate from Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law.

REAL ESTATE AGENT, RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE EVENT SPONSOR Julia B Fee |William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty licensed agent Melissa D. Kaminsky of Rye Brook, partnered with Ronald McDonald House of the Greater Hudson Valley as a “Match My Miles” sponsor during Dashing for Dylan: Walk, Run or Cycle, the sixth annual Dylan J. Hoffman Memorial event, which ran the entire month of October. The event supports the families at Ronald McDonald House, which is located at the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital in Valhalla. As a Match My Miles sponsor for Dashing for Dylan, Kaminsky personally matched the miles, dollar for dollar, that participants logged during the last week of the challenge. Though Dylan, for whom the race is named, lived a short life, his memory and spirit remain alive. He was cared for at Maria Ferrari and the event hosted by Ronald McDonald House in conjunction with the Hoffman Family of Wilton, Connecticut, celebrates his life and the thousands of families who have stayed at the House since 2011 when it was first opened. It provides families with critically ill and traumatically injured children an atmosphere of comfort, hope and courage, keeping them close to the care and resources they need. Located on the campus of the Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, the House is just steps away from the Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital. Since it opened in 2011, more than 1,800 families have called it home.

With construction of the “New Bruce” officially underway, supporters have not only stepped up to the latest fundraising challenge – they far exceeded the goal of the $500,000 Match, as revealed by the leaders of the Campaign for the New Bruce. The three-story, 43,000-square-foot addition will more than double the size of the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, adding state-of-theart exhibition and community spaces. This past summer, three friends of the Bruce Museum came forward to launch a $500,000 Challenge for the Campaign and agreed to match all new gifts by Oct. 8.

The Challenge was met by more than 100 donors, including past campaign contributors, raising more than $600,000 in new contributions. Lynne and Richard Pasculano were inspired by those who launched the Challenge and close to the end of the Match made a new pledge of $500,000. So, the initial $500,000 Challenge was matched, then matched again and followed by an additional gift of $100,000 by anonymous donors. Such generosity from the community enabled $1.7 million to be raised within the past few months, a measure of how beloved the Bruce Museum is by its family of friends

and supporters. “In breaking ground on the wonderful new building addition, we are celebrating a new beginning for the Bruce Museum, and celebrating the donors who have gotten us to this point,” said Robert Wolterstorff, The Susan E. Lynch executive director. “We are truly grateful to the donors who launched this most recent Challenge and to all the generous supporters who came forward to double and ultimately even to triple the impact of their gifts. It really made a difference in allowing us to break ground this fall….”

‘JUST EAT IT’ Winner of numerous awards, “Just Eat It” follows Canadian filmmakers Grant Baldwin and Jen Rustemeyer over a six-month period, as they conduct an experiment to eat only discarded food. The film also features interviews with environmentalists, food-waste experts and farmers, who highlight the extent of the problem and solutions. Panelists will discuss food-waste reduction strategies at home by cooking more with less, recycling uneaten food scraps, changing habits and will field questions from the community. This event addresses the need for a cultural shift about the appearance of food, meat consumption, purchasing habits and expiration dates and what individuals can do to reduce food waste, one of the heaviest and most expensive types of disposed trash. In the U.S., 40% of food never gets eaten, wasting all the resources from field to fork like water, energy, labor and cropland. Each year the average American family throws away 1,000 pounds of food, equating to at least a $1,500 lost. All this is wasted, while one in eight Americans is food insecure. “Consumers are responsible for more wasted food than grocery stores and restaurants combined, so changing household behavior is key to reducing the problem of food waste,” according to Save the Food.

For the first time, the gala and concert were free and are available for streaming on the Stamford Symphony Channel. “While this year has been challenging, the silver lining of the Covid cloud has meant we have been able to connect with many more in the community through our digital presentations,” said Russell Jones, president and CEO, Stamford Symphony. The Stamford Symphony, originally formed in 1919, has an orchestra comprised of professional musicians from the tri-state area, drawing its members from premier ensembles, including the Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, the American Symphony Orchestra, the New York Pops and the Orchestra of St. Luke’s. Its home is at the Palace Theatre where most performances occur in the restored venue.

DOJ AWARDS ROCKLAND COUNTY OPIOID EPIDEMIC TREATMENT Congresswoman Nita Lowey (DNY17/Rockland-Westchester), chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, recently announced Rockland County has been awarded $899,964 from the Department of Justice (DOJ) Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant and Substance Abuse Site-Based Program (COSSAP). The Rockland County district attorney’s office will use this federal funding to create a new Law Enforcement Assisted Di-

version (LEAD) program, which research has shown to have a positive impact on treatment and assistance for low-level, nonviolent drug offenders. “Tragically, far too many have felt the effects of illicit opioid abuse throughout our country and in our local communities,” said Lowey. Early intervention and coordinated care efforts, the goals of the LEAD program, have consistently proven to

be the best tools to combat the opioid epidemic. Rockland County District Attorney Tom Walsh said, “…The grant will enable my office to initiate a comprehensive program to provide alternatives to incarceration for people with substance abuse issues. Our goal is to keep those individuals out of jail and get them the help they need to be productive citizens.” FCBJ
