MASS SHOOTINGS TRIGGER HOLIDAY TREND IN REGION BY REECE ALVAREZ AND EVAN FALLOR ralvarez@westfairinc.com evan@westfairinc.com

hile many children will receive toy guns as gifts this holiday season, many adults will be giving or receiving real firearms after another grim

season of mass murder. In the wake of a series of mass shottings this fall, gun sales are skyrocketing nationwide and in Westchester and Fairfield counties, according to national statistics and gun shop owners in the region. At Blueline Tactical Supply in Elmsford, the general manager, who declined to give his last name, said his store is no exception to the

national trend. Ammunition and supply sales have spiked since both the Nov. 13 terrorist attacks in Paris and the Dec. 2 shooting attack in San Bernardino, Calif., that left 14 people dead. His store’s bimonthly five-hour pistol license classes have doubled and now up to roughly 35 people per class, said the general manager, who asked to be » GUNS, page 8

Indian Point reactor license expires amid shutdown efforts BY COLLEEN WILSON

cwilson@westfairinc.com

t midnight Dec. 12, Indian Point Energy Center’s Unit 3 nuclear reactor license expired, joining its counterpart, Unit 2, into a period of indefinite license extension until the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission can complete its review of the power plant’s request for renewal. On Sept. 28, 2013, Indian Point’s Unit 2 license expired and marked the first time in the federal regulatory agency’s 40-year history that a U.S. nuclear power plant license had expired. The plant in Buchanan is the first in the country to have all of its active reactors expired and extended. The reactors at Indian Point, which is owned and operated by New Orleans-based Entergy Corp., are legally allowed to continue operating and generating what is estimated to be about 25 percent of electricity for New York City and Westchester County because of a rule known as timely renewal. Reactor licenses are issued initially for a period of 40 years and a license renewal allows the plant to operate for an additional 20 years. Timely renewal means that the

applicant submitted its renewal application at least five years in advance of its reactors’ expiration date. The renewal process with the NRC largely focuses on aging management. The applicant has to be able to “tell us how they’re going to manage the effects of aging,” said NRC spokesman Neil Sheehan. Plants are inspected to ensure that they can last another 20 years and to test the aging effects on “passive systems,” which Sheehan said are long-standing systems that don’t get used as regularly. For instance, there are pumps that don’t get used on a routine basis and would need to be tested so the potential effects of aging would not go unnoticed. Indian Point volunteered to be inspected and implement the commitments for the aging management program as if it had been granted renewal. “We wanted to further demonstrate to our stakeholders that we were doing everything that any plant that had a renewed license in hand would have had to do to enter that second period of operation,” said Jerry Nappi, a spokesman with Entergy. Of the 99 still-active reactors in the U.S., 79 have been renewed and the process has

process have to do with a Coastal Zone Management Act and a water quality certificate, both required by the state. Indian Point’s use of billions of gallons of water a day from the Hudson River requires that the plant prove that it does not have harmful effects on the river before the permits can be granted. In 2014, a state appellate court ruled in favor of Entergy that it should be grandfathered into the state’s Coastal Management Program. The state Department of State, which oversees the Coastal Management Program, has appealed this decision and the case is pending in New York’s highest court, the Court of Appeals. That case will most likely be argued sometime in 2016. Also in dispute is the water quality certificate Entergy must secure from the state Department of Environmental Conservation. The main issue with getting this certificate is the fish from the Hudson River that get sucked into Indian Point’s water-cooling system. There are mitigation proposals being debated about how to deal with this issue. Hearings on this issue were held for three weeks starting Sept. 14 and briefs and reply briefs were scheduled to be filed in December.

typically taken between 18 and 24 months. Plants that face hearings during the renewal process, like Indian Point, should usually expect about 30 months, according to the NRC. Entergy submitted its license renewal application for Indian Point in 2007. Almost nine years later, the plant is still not close to receiving a decision about whether or not it will be renewed. This is in large part due to the state’s opposition to the plant. Michael B. Gerrard, director of the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law at Columbia Law School in New York City, said that Indian Point is the only plant seeking renewal that is facing strong opposition from its home state’s governor. In numerous letters and statements, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and members of his administration have voiced safety concerns, among others, over the plant’s proximity to New York City. The state’s strong opposition, Gerrard said, “has slowed down the (renewal) process measurably and led to considerable controversy and litigation.” The other main issues holding up the

New Year’s Eve celebration an economic driver

WARM WEATHER COULD MEAN RECORD CROWD AND PROFITS FOR WHITE PLAINS BUSINESSES BY EVAN FALLOR

evan@westfairinc.com

or those who want to welcome the New Year without the stress and madness of standing amidst 1 million fellow humans, White Plains has provided a suitable alternative to Times Square for 13 years. Though still a usually rambunctious crowd, the White Plains Business Improvement District (BID) and the city of White Plains’ annual New Year’s Eve Spectacular is a toned-down version of the New Year’s Eve extravaganza 25 miles south. But this year’s semi-tropical weather is causing officials to anticipate record crowds, which could mean big profits for downtown restaurants and bars. Brittany Brandwein, the BID’s director of events and business promotions, estimated a typical crowd at 15,000, but anticipates one as large as 25,000 this year should Mother Nature continue her hot streak. Early forecasts predicted high temperatures near 50 degrees and lows around 40 degrees for New Year’s Eve. “When it’s cold, we don’t see the crowd really getting large until after 11 p.m.,” Brandwein said. “I think people will be coming out earlier this year.” The celebration, which begins at 10 p.m., will include live music by self-described “Ultimate Boyband Tribute” group Larger than Life, a show by Zambelli Fireworks, street vendors, and, of course, the ball drop at the corner of Main and Court streets at midnight, which also marks the start of the city’s centennial. Brian Mahon, the owner of Hudson Grille and Lilly’s on Mamaroneck Avenue, said he expected a crowd similar to that of New Year’s 2012, when the temperature was 50 degrees at midnight. On top of dinner being served until 10:45 p.m., both restaurants will offer complimentary champagne to diners. He and his roughly 35 employees between both establishments expect a steady flow of customers on the 2015 side of midnight and a steady flow of drinkers the 2016 side of the ball drop. “I wouldn’t say it’s the busiest night of the year, but it’s definitely a busy night,” Mahon said, adding that Thanksgiving eve and St.

In a release, White Plains Mayor Thomas M. Roach said the service has provided more than 3,800 residents with safe rides home since its inception in 2004. Along with keeping the roads safe, securi-

ty has become even more of a focus of event organizers due to the recent national tragedies involving gun violence and the potential for a record turnout. No large bags will be permitted and guests can only enter the free celebration through one of four gated entrances: Main Street at Church Street; Court Street at Martine Avenue; Renaissance Square at Williams Street; or Martine Avenue at Mamaroneck Avenue. Street closings will be in effect from 2 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. “As you can imagine, public safety is an even greater focus this year for obvious reasons,” Brandwein said. “We work hard to make it a really important and special night for people, not just for White Plains residents and employees, but for people from all over Westchester as an alternative to Times Square,” she said. “Westchester County is diverse, so we try to give something to everyone.” Mahon, the owner of Lily’s and Hudson Grille, recalled a conversation he had with former White Plains Mayor Joseph M. Delfino about a decade ago. “Mayor Delfino used to say at 6 p.m. you could shoot a cannonball down Mamaroneck Avenue,” he said. “It’s changed a lot now and the city has certainly grown.”

Lowe’s at Ridge Hill, craft brewery backed by Yonkers IDA BY JOHN GOLDEN

jgolden@westfairinc.com

$35 million project by Lowe’s Cos. Inc. to open a home improvement store at Westchester’s Ridge Hill in 2016 was among three proposed developments recently approved for tax exemptions by the Yonkers Industrial Development Agency. The city IDA at its Dec. 16 meeting also gave its initial support for tax breaks to a new craft brewery on the downtown waterfront and a realty firm’s commercial redevelopment of a Nepperhan Avenue warehouse that serves as the Yonkers Fire Department’s special operations and storage facility. All three backed projects require public hearings before the IDA can grant final approval of financial incentives. Yonkers city officials said Lowe’s plans to build an 85,000-square-foot store that includes a garden center on an undeveloped parcel at Ridge Hill Boulevard and Otis Drive in Forest City Ratner’s Ridge Hill shopping center. The Lowe’s store will rise along the Thruway corridor in Yonkers across from its chief big-box competitor, Home Depot. The development is expected to provide 90 full-time jobs. Construction is scheduled to begin

in May and be completed by the end of 2016. Lowe’s told IDA officials the company will invest $19 million in property acquisition, $11.7 million in construction costs and $5 million in furnishings and equipment for the retail store. The IDA agreed to provide a $978,000 sales tax exemption on construction materials. A Fortune 50 company headquartered in Mooresville, N.C., Lowe’s reported $56.2 billion in total company revenues in 2014. Founded in 1946, the publicly traded company has more than 1,845 home improvement and hardware stores and 265,000 employees in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. “Lowe’s indicates it has a corporate policy of supporting K through 12 public education and community improvement projects,” Yonkers Industrial Development Agency president Kenneth Jenkins said in the city’s announcement. “Combined with 90 new jobs and the taxes they will pay, this is an excellent addition to the city’s corporate community.” Yonkers IDA directors also tentatively approved tax incentives for an 11,000-squarefoot craft brewery planned by Fondak Enterprises LLC, a family-owned company formed one year ago in Syracuse. The business, which will include a production and sales facility and public taproom, will operate at 72

attract new residents and visitors to the city’s postindustrial waterfront. Daniel Wolf, a private Manhattan collector and dealer in art, photography and furniture and the husband of architect Maya Lin, bought the two-story 10,800-square-foot brick edifice about two years ago for conversion to an art storage, exhibit and performance space. The Yonkers IDA board also approved a $3 million project by Thethi Realty LLC in Scarsdale to buy and adapt 460 Nepperhan Ave., in the former Alexander Smith & Sons Carpet Mills complex, for commercial tenants. Louis Gjelaj, owner of Thethi Realty, earlier this year purchased the adjacent 470 Nepperhan Ave. property and said he would renovate that four-story 116,000 square-foot building with the aim of drawing large hightech companies to Yonkers. The city and previous private owners in the last decade were unsuccessful in developing the property as a high-tech business center. Yonkers officials said the 460 Nepperhan project will include $1 million in construction costs for improvements. The IDA approved an $89,000 sales tax exemption on construction materials, an $18,000 mortgage recording tax exemption and a temporary property tax abatement to be determined.

Alexander St., a 63-year-old warehouse building in the city’s downtown waterfront area, which has been the focus of redevelopment by city officials and private developers. The brewery will be operated by Andrew Fondak and his parents, Jeffrey and Dorothy Fondak. Andrew and Jeffrey, a recently retired dentist near Watertown in upstate Jefferson County, are graduates of the World Brewing Academy and certified master brewers, according to Yonkers officials. The project is expected to cost approximately $3.35 million and create up to 20 jobs. The Yonkers IDA initially approved, pending a public hearing, a $144,000 sales tax exemption on construction materials, a $27,000 mortgage recording tax exemption and a temporary property tax abatement to be negotiated. Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, who also serves as chairman of the city IDA, noted the success of another IDA-backed craft brewery on the downtown waterfront, Yonkers Brewing Co. in the former city trolley barn at 90 Main St. “This is exactly what we hoped for in the downtown and waterfront,” Spano said in a press release. “One successful business inspires another.” The site of the planned brewery also is near the former Yonkers City Jail at 24 Alexander St., another property being redeveloped to

SHU to study head impacts of lacrosse players SENSORS ON PIONEER HELMETS WILL REGISTER HITS

BY BILL FALLON

bfallon@westfairinc.com

ootball head injuries have been garnering the headlines lately. Now Sacred Heart University in Fairfield will help determine if another sport, too, might be bad for the brain. U.S. Lacrosse, the sport’s Maryland-based governing body, has awarded Sacred Heart University’s athletic training education program a $15,000 grant to study the effects of on-the-field head impacts over the course of the Pioneers’ college men’s lacrosse season. Students in the program will work with professors and staff to collect data throughout the spring 2016 season by using helmet-mount-

ed impact sensors during games and practices. The study, which is titled “The Effect of Cumulative Impacts on Vestibular Ocular Reflex in Division I Men’s Lacrosse Players,” will be managed by Theresa Miyashita, director of the SHU athletic training education program, with help from clinical assistant professor Eleni Diakogeorgiou and Kaitlyn Marrie, SHU athletic trainer. “Little research has been focused on lacrosse, and it is the fastest-growing team sport in the U.S.,” Miyashita said. “It is a high-contact, equipment-intensive sport that needs more research.” Miyashita has particular insight, and affinity, for health in lacrosse players; her husband is a former professional player who is now assistant coach of the SHU men’s team.

U.S. Lacrosse awarded the grant to allow SHU to purchase the equipment needed to conduct the research, including helmet sensors to record the severity and frequency of head impacts and a system for pre- and post-testing athletes for head injury. Miyashita said she is excited about the research as both an educational experience for the students and for its potential effects on the future health of lacrosse players at all levels. “We have a great group here doing some really interesting research on a very important and hot topic,” she said. “Our primary goal is to investigate the potential cumulative effects of sub concussive impacts on collegiate lacrosse players, ultimately to improve player safety.”

AFFILIATED WITH

CHICAGO-BASED HIGHTOWER, A FINANCIAL ADVISORY COMPANY, said recently RDM Financial Group Inc., a Westport-based investment adviser with $700 million under management, will become a partner of HighTower. The move will also mean a third office for RDM. “Ron Weiner’s contributions to the industry and passionate advocacy for his clients are truly remarkable,” said HighTower founder and CEO Elliot Weissbluth. “When a highly distinguished independent adviser who has run his own firm for many years decides to become a partner with us, it is a powerful validation of our platform, our brand and our financial strength.” “After 35 years in the industry and 26 running RDM Financial Group, I recognized the need for access to world-class resources, scale and a greater variety of solutions for my clients’ needs,” said Weiner, CEO, RDM Financial Group. “Years of due diligence revealed that the HighTower platform is the ideal destination for me and my clients.” Weiner, who has been featured 12 times on Barron’s lists of top financial advisers, will maintain his 15-person team at the firm’s Westport and Boca Raton, Fla., locations. To better serve his New York area clientele, he will add a New York location for RDM within the 80-person office in HighTower’s second headquarters in New York. The partnership was first reported on the PR Newswire website, citing HighTower as the source. — Bill Fallon

identified only as Angelo. “Oh, it’s been extremely busy,” he said. “During the holiday season it usually gets busier, but especially so this year with what’s been happening around the country and around the world. The shittier the world is, the bigger our sales are.”

SURGE IN BACKGROUND CHECKS Statistics back up his observations. According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, November saw the fifth highest number of firearm background checks completed through the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System. More than 2.2 million checks were completed, bringing the 2015 total to 19.8 million, which is on pace to break the agency’s record high of more than 21 million checks in 2013. The past three Decembers have each seen more than 2 million background checks completed, a sharp rise from most other months during those calendar years. Though those numbers do not represent the actual number of firearms sold, the background check is one of the first requirements to owning one. Apparently many Americans included weapons on their holiday shopping lists. At Blueline in Elmsford, most gun purchases are for self- defense purposes, Angelo said. But recently some customers have given other reasons for their buys. “People are telling them they can’t have guns,” he said. “They’re trying to prove that they can.” John Roger, owner of The Jolly Roger Firearms weapon and ammunition shop in New Milford, said he has seen a small increase in firearms purchases at his Connecticut store following high-profile mass shooting incidents. He attributed the surges to preemptive buying in advance of expected anti-gun legislation rather than concerns for safety. “I didn’t really see anything after Paris and things like Oregon and California. It is hard to tell,” he said, referring to the less publicized Oct. 1 shooting at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Ore., that left nine people dead. “After Newtown there was a big one. Everybody knew the state was going to take some immediate steps (to restrict gun sales) and tried to beat that.” “We used to say Obama is the best gun salesman there is,” Roger added. He cited Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy’s recent proposal to restrict the sale of guns for individuals listed on the federal no-fly list as a particular example of firearms legislation spurring an increase in weapons sales. Several other gun shop owners and managers in Westchester and Fairfield counties

declined to comment for this story. In January 2013, the first full month following the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, 19,212 firearms were purchased in Connecticut, nearly double the total sales for any month in the last three years, according to the Connecticut Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. The Dec. 14, 2012 mass murder in Newtown was followed by the four highest months on record for gun sales in the state. In total, 145,547 firearms were sold in Connecticut in 2013, well above the 115,427 sold last year and the 112,898 sold through November this year. In November, the month of the terrorist attacks in Paris that left 130 victims and seven terrorists dead, 11,377 firearms were sold in Connecticut, the highest monthly total in 2015.

DEMAND UP FOR HANDGUN TRAINING At the HF LearnSafety Firearms Training Center in New Milford, owner Herb Furhman said the number of men and women seeking permits required to obtain firearms rises after high-profile shooting events. “Every time there is a massacre, you see people’s interest in wanting to defend themselves increase,” he said. Furhman, a Connecticut Police Academy instructor and retired law enforcement officer, leads training courses for southern Connecticut and New York residents in how to properly handle, store and fire a handgun. “The interest and momentum is and continues to be significant,” he said. “My class for January 2 is already filled up and now I have

WCBJ

another class for January as well.” “It is a fair reaction,” he said. “People are concerned with the economy; they are concerned with protecting themselves, their homes, their individuals.”

INVESTORS SHY FROM GUN INDUSTRY A growing number of investors, however, are choosing not to invest in the Firearms industry, said Nicole Turosky Smith, founder and CEO of GreenWell Financial in Danbury. One of Connecticut’s first benefit corporations, the investment advisory firm focuses on what it terms “sustainable and responsible” investing. In business since June, Turosky founded the firm to fill a need she saw for investors wishing to participate in that kind of investing program in Fairfield County. GreenWell Financial refuses to invest in the firearms industry for clients. “The reason is extremely simple,” Turosky said. “My firm firmly believes it is absolutely possible to earn a competitive return without profiting from violence.” “Over the past several years, the growth of this type of investing has been exponential,” she said. “It is absolutely a growing trend and I think it is here to stay for a long time.” The third generation of a military family, Turosky served in the Connecticut National Guard and is experienced with firearms. She recognizes their sporting and hunting uses, but ultimately agrees with her clients’ perspective on the weapons. “Guns are made to kill, let’s get real,” she said. “Most folks that come to me that want to invest sustainably and socially responsibly

don’t even know what they have (in investments). When I go through their holdings and put on paper what they own, most people are shocked. They are a little bit embarrassed that they are invested in these industries.” On Dec. 22, Connecticut’s gun industry was shaken when Mark Malkowski, president of New Britain rifle manufacturer Stag Arms LLC, pleaded guilty to possessing an unregistered machine gun. His arrest was the result of a state Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigation. Malkowski was forced to sell the company and is barred for life from the industry.

TOY GUN RETAILERS TARGETED In New York, state Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman this year launched an investigation of the toy gun industry after a Cleveland police officer in November last year mistook a toy gun for a real qweapon and shot dead a 12-year-olfd boy. Ahead of the holiday shopping season, his office announced settlement agreements with 30 online retailers that sold more than 5,000 illegal toy guns to suburban New York consumers. New York law requires the toys to be either brightly colored or have colored striping down the barrel to make clearer to law enforcement. Those illegal toy products targeted in the state investigation were sold by retailers, including Walmart, KMart, Amazon and Sears. “When toy guns are mistaken for real guns, there can be tragic consequences,” Schneiderman said.

Elements of a successful annual gala

hen I became executive director of the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum in Norwalk in 2012, I proposed to the board of trustees that we launch a new event, a blacktie gala that would shine a spotlight on this National Historic Landmark, not just as a revered icon of the past, but as an essential part of our communities’ present and future. This program was also created out of necessity. Raising funds is paramount to the mansion’s survival, especially in these uncertain economic times, and a successful gala can become an exciting, memorable way for potential and established donors to experience the institutional mission in a more personal and impactful way. I thought that this magnificent 19th-century mansion would lend itself as a unique and ideal setting for a lavish, elegant fundraiser, where American history, art and 19th-century craftsmanship would come together in a dreamlike progression. Those who had yet to notice the mansion would be compelled to do so and hopefully support our mission. I wanted supporters past, current and new to fall in love with this building and what it stands for and realize that its survival from the attempted demolition in the 1960s and more recently, the Great Recession, was not serendipity but a decades-long effort that so many had undertaken to salvage, restore and open, year after year, this work of art to all of our communities. “Where are we with tickets?” Having worked for other nonprofits, I know this is something all gala organizers are obsessed with as the date of the event approaches. In my book, there are five key elements that will generate the hoped-for sellout. They include: ■ a small army of volunteers, including a very supportive board; ■ sponsors and donors willing to give generously to the event; ■ a creative, newsworthy program with cohesive visuals, for example, an impactful graphic design campaign and beautiful décor including tables, linens, glassware, centerpieces, flowers, etc. that will make the event stand out in this crowded nonprofit arena; ■ a top-notch gala committee, willing to work very hard to see to it that the event succeeds; and ■ volunteers willing to work long hours the night of the gala. The planning begins with the selection of the date, making sure that it does not conflict with other major events taking place in your

area; the selection of your gala committee and two co-chairpersons; and the graphic design firm that will design your save-the-date cards and invitations. I believe that the invitations have to be outstanding, otherwise they will get lost in the pile of countless “junk mail” and other invitations we all receive on a daily basis. Each committee member will be assigned a special task that is in keeping with his or her TWB Coming Soon to Mamaroneck expertise. If you have interior designers on WCBJ your committee, for example, they will tackle 7.375” w x 7.125” h the10-30-15 décor of the rooms, meet with the caterer and decide the color scheme and tabletop accessories; while a fear-you-not community activist will put together the silent auction and knock at every business door in a 30-mile radius to obtain silent auction donations.

How are you going to entertain your guests? The program is a key element and it is perhaps the most difficult one to tackle. As a nonprofit you have a limited budget yet you want your guests to feel that they are experiencing something out of the ordinary — in a good way — one that warrants spending $150$250 or more per ticket. Our galas are always connected to the programmatic theme of the season, which, I must admit, makes it a nail-biting process. Aside from the invitations to your members and institutional friends, you need to spread the word far beyond your boundaries, but how? The museum has truly benefited from the generosity and support of a few key publishers and editors willing to high-

light the gala and help the mansion get the word out. Social media and a variety of other promotional materials including advertising should be part of your gala budget, whenever possible. As the executive director, I oversee all aspects of the gala. The responsibility of a flop will fall squarely on my shoulders. No detail is too small to go unchecked. Every piece of your gala needs to neatly fit into your well-orchestrated event and every element has to speak highly of the mission and objectives of your institution.

SEC charges Atlantic Asset Management with fraud BY REECE ALVAREZ

ralvarez@westfairinc.com

he Securities and Exchange Commission has accused Stamfordbased investment advisory firm Atlantic Asset Management LLC with investing clients’ money in certain bonds that had hidden financial benefits to a broker-dealer connected with the firm. The SEC alleges that AAM invested more than $43 million of client funds in illiquid bonds issued by a Native American tribal corporation without disclosing the conflict of interest that the bond sales generated a private placement fee for the

broker-dealer, whose parent company partially owns AAM. “As alleged, Atlantic violated a fundamental duty to its clients by placing its own financial interests ahead of client interests,” said Andrew M. Calamari, director of the SEC’s New York Regional Office. “AAM’s clients should have been informed that the investments in illiquid bonds would financially benefit people with ownership control over AAM.” According to the SEC’s complaint filed in federal court in Manhattan: • AAM is partially owned by an entity called BFG Socially Responsible Investing Ltd., although BFG’s ownership is not dis-

closed in AAM’s public SEC filings. • At the suggestion of a BFG representative, AAM bought the dubious, illiquid bonds on behalf of clients while aware that the sales would generate a private placement fee for a broker-dealer affiliated with BFG. AAM also was aware that proceeds from the bond sales were to be used to buy an annuity provided by BFG’s parent company. • An AAM officer evaluating whether or not to make the investments discussed balancing the “fiduciary duty” owed to the placement agent with the duty owed to AAM’s clients. • AAM ultimately decided to put its

owner’s financial interests first, approving the bond purchases without telling clients about the conflict of interest. Upon learning about the investments in the bonds, several AAM clients expressed concern over the bonds’ valuation and suitability. They demanded, unsuccessfully, that the investments be unwound. The SEC complaint charges AAM with violations of the antifraud provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and related rules as well as violations of Section 207 of the Advisers Act by failing to disclose BFG’s ownership interest in the Form ADV filed with the SEC. The SEC’s investigation is ongoing.

BLT HELPS HAITI STUDENTS STAMFORD-BASED BUILDING AND LAND TECHNOLOGY has teamed with Florida-based Hope for Haiti to sponsor a computer lab in Haiti, with more sites on the way. “Up until now, these students have been learning computers theoretically on a chalkboard,” said Carl R. Kuehner, chairman and CEO of BLT, in a statement announcing the project. “That is a major obstacle for kids trying to succeed in this world and to have that obstacle removed is empowering for them. The majority of these students have never had the opportunity to actually touch or use a computer or access the incredible wealth of information and communication that’s available. “Today that changes,” he said. “We believe this could have an immeasurable positive impact on their lives.” The effort taps the Endless computer, which BLT said “has been designed to have apps that people care most about like education, health and livelihood. For emerging markets like Haiti, where Internet connectivity can be hard to come by, this computer brings access to information for all. Founded by a Connecticut native, Matt Dalio, CEO and chief of product, this technology is connecting those with endless potential by providing them with the information they need and want to succeed. BLT said the program envisions 1,000 Endless computers on the island. No number of initial computers was given, but photos showed a schoolroom filled with students and new computers. BLT reported preloaded academic programs from Khan Academy immediately made available the likes of biology and organic chemistry. Endless markets a $169 computer for emerging markets and says its goal is to put computers in 2 billion households.

New $100 million loan pipeline for green projects A BOOST FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL CLEAN-ENERGY EFFORTS

BY BILL FALLON

bfallon@westfairinc.com

he Connecticut Green Bank in Rocky Hill and Maryland-based Hannon Armstrong have reached an agreement that the Green Bank says “will increase the deployment of energy efficiency, solar and other clean energy projects throughout the Connecticut commercial and industrial sector.” Under the terms of the agreement, Hannon Armstrong will provide access to up to $100 million in funding for green energy projects for commercial and industrial buildings and businesses. The agreement supports the Green Bank’s C-PACE (Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy) program. Publicly traded Hannon Armstrong provides debt and equity financing to the energy efficiency and renewable energy markets. The financing structure, termed “innovative” by the Green Bank in a statement announcing the deal, allows the bank to leverage private capital while providing Hannon

Armstrong with the ability to access “a high-quality, rapidly growing class of assets.” The bank, which was established by the General Assembly in 2011, is the nation’s first full-scale green bank, designed to leverage public and private funds “to drive investment and scale up clean energy deployment in Connecticut.” “The agreement between the Green Bank and Hannon Armstrong will streamline the process building owners currently undergo to source competitive financing for comprehensive energy projects,” the Green Bank statement said. “Hannon Armstrong brings its expertise in programmatic financing and risk assessment, as well as predictability in execution, while the improved access to financing will enable Connecticut businesses to achieve even more meaningful energy savings with zero upfront costs.” The agreement also helps expand C-PACE, which provides commercial, industrial, nonprofit and multifamily property owners access to affordable, long-term financing for

what Green Bank terms “meaningful energy upgrades” to buildings. “By enabling building owners to finance qualifying energy efficiency and clean energy improvements through a voluntary assessment on their property tax bill, more comprehensive energy improvements that would otherwise be difficult to afford are made possible,” the Green Bank said. “With 100 percent financing offered over a term of up to 20 years, building owners are able to complete projects that not only significantly lower energy costs but also increase their bottom lines while being cash flow positive from day one.” While each project will be individually reviewed and underwritten, the statement said, capital provided under the program is secured by a lien on the property, reducing the investment risk and associated cost of capital. The Green Bank has already closed more than $50 million in C-PACE projects and said its pipeline represents nearly $50 million more in already-approved projects. “Demand is on a rapid growth trajectory, creating the

need for more capital to support the program,” the bank said. “Investing in energy efficiency and clean energy projects through the Connecticut Green Bank’s C-PACE program provides Hannon Armstrong a new scalable channel partner to cost effectively deploy capital,” said Jeffrey Eckel, president and CEO of Hannon Armstrong. “We applaud the Green Bank’s leadership in developing this market.” “We in Connecticut have been innovators with our first-in-the-nation Green Bank,” said Gov. Dannel Malloy. “We’ve shown that we can tackle global warming with smart, private-sector solutions and by leveraging private dollars to incentivize a shift to green technologies. Agreements like these are what’s making Connecticut a national leader. We are reducing carbon emissions like never before as the world works together to mitigate climate change. This agreement is yet another positive step towards our goals of making the world a greener place for generations to come.”

WESTCHESTER & FAIRFIELD COUNTY

BUSINESS JOURNALS IN BRIEF

DECICCO & SONS OPENS LARCHMONT STORE Family-owned gourmet grocer DeCicco & Sons opened its sixth store in the Hudson Valley at 2141 Palmer Ave. in Larchmont on Dec. 18. The 25,000-square-foot store, formerly the site of a Guitar Center shop, has a full-service craft beer and wine bar, an upstairs dining area and rooftop solar panels that generate 75 percent of the store’s electricity during peak sunlight, according to a company release. The store will be open Mondays through Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and on Sundays from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. DeCicco began in the Bronx in 1972 and now has stores in Ardsley, Armonk, Brewster, Harriso, Pelham, Cross River, Jefferson Valley and Scarsdale as well as New City in Rockland County. The company also plans to open a DeCicco Family Market at 132 Bedford Road in Katonah, the site of the former village’s A&P.

TWO ARDSLEY CENTERS FULLY LEASED The Village Green and Ardsley Shopping Center have both been fully leased, brokers at Admiral Real Estate Services Corp. in Bronxville said. The last available space at Village Green was leased by Xing Long Spa Inc., which plans to open a reflexology spa early next year at 726 Saw Mill River Road. The site was previously leased by Yogurt By You. Other Village Green tenants include Starbucks, GiGi’s Playhouse, Ardsley Veterinary Associates and Umami Sushi. Ardsley Shopping Center on Center Street recently added Fitness Now LLC, which joins existing tenants DeCicco & Sons, TrustCo Bank, Nail Central, Ardsley Pizzeria and Bellantoni’s Tae Kwon Do. Joan Simon of Admiral Real Estate Services represented both the landlord and tenant in each transaction. “I’m pleased to say that thanks to the diligent marketing efforts of Admiral, both centers are now 100 percent leased,” said Maurice Hyacinthe, owner of both shopping centers.

NURSING HOME TO PAY $600K AFTER STATE INVESTIGATION Goshen-based nursing home chain Elant Inc. will have to pay $600,000 to settle claims that it delayed the release of short-term residents at its six homes in the Hudson Valley in order to boost slumping patient counts.

The settlement is the result of an investigation by Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman’s office and the state Department of Health. Between 2008 and 2011, Elant postponed the release of residents who were ready to leave its facilities as a means to obtain more money via the clients’ Medicare or Medicaid coverage, according to Schneiderman. An investigation found that many of the patients were given additional services that were not clinically necessary. Elant also admitted to transferring several of its long-term residents to its Briarcliff Manor location to improve its financial standing. Of the $600,000 settlement, roughly $275,000 will resolve claims relating to patient stays under the New York False Claims Act; another $275,000 will be fines paid to the state Health Department and the remaining $50,000 will reimburse the federal Medicare program for the delayed discharges. “Nursing homes must not put their own financial interests above those of their residents — patients who rely on them for their care and treatment — and New York taxpayers,” Schneiderman said. “All nursing home residents have a right to accurate and complete information about their options.” Elant operates two homes in Goshen as well as homes in Newburgh, Wappingers Falls, Fishkill and a “financially troubled facility” in Briarcliff Manor, according to Schneiderman. He also said in a release the company plans to sell several of the locations. Emails from company executives uncovered in the investigation found they were aware of low resident counts and were keeping Medicare and Medicaid patients longer than necessary to improve those figures. Two former Elant CEOs were required to surrender their nursing home administrator licenses as a result of the investigation. “This settlement sends a clear and unmistakable message to those who seek to profit at the expense of vulnerable New Yorkers and New York’s taxpayers: you will be held fully accountable,” Medicaid Inspector General Dennis Rosen said in a statement. Elant Choice Inc., a Newburgh-based home access health care organization serving the mid-Hudson Valley, announced earlier this year it separated from Elant Inc., its former parent company. This fall, it was rebranded as EverCare. — Evan Fallor

Bridge over troubled waters

RIVERKEEPER THREATENS ENVIRONMENTAL LAWSUITS AGAINST TAPPAN ZEE BUILDERS BY COLLEEN WILSON

cwilson@westfairinc.com

iverkeeper Inc. has informed the state Thruway Authority and the group of contractors designing and building the new Tappan Zee Bridge of its intent to sue them for violating federal laws, according to two letters penned by the environmental organization Dec. 16. The separate citizen lawsuit threats — both directed at the Thruway Authority and the consortium building the bridge, Tappan Zee Constructors LLC — are related to Riverkeeper’s allegations that the construction of the bridge has contributed to the increase of sturgeon

mortality and sediment pollutant that has surfaced from the bottom of the Hudson River, violations of the Endangered Species Act and Clean Water Act, respectively. In a prepared statement, the Thruway Authority responded that it has taken “unprecedented measures” to protect all aquatic life and reduce resuspension of sediments in the Hudson River where the construction for the bridge connecting Westchester and Rockland counties is taking place. With the letter, the Pace Environmental Litigation Clinic, an attorney group with Pace University School of Law that represents Ossining-based Riverkeeper, gives the bridge builders a 60-day notice to either discuss poten-

tial remedies as part of a settlement or be sued. If settlements are not reached, Riverkeeper will seek court orders to prevent future violations of the laws, civil penalties and compensation for Riverkeeper’s litigation costs and attorney’s fees. Riverkeeper notified the National Marine Fisheries Service in a letter sent in July that sturgeon deaths had increased dramatically since the bridge’s construction started in 2012. The environmental nonprofit highlighted findings from the state Department of Environmental Conservation that during the years 2007 and 2012 a combined 21 sturgeon were reported dead within 15 miles of the Tappan Zee. The next year, from 2013 to 2014,

68 of the endangered fish species were found dead in the same area. As a result of numerous reports regarding observations about increased sturgeon mortality, the federal agency began a new analysis earlier this year to analyze the potential effects of propeller-driven vessels working on the bridge project and their threat to sturgeon life. Because the species of sturgeon in the Hudson are endangered, the agreement for the bridge builders to obtain a permit said no more than four sturgeon — two of the shortnose sturgeon species and two of the Atlantic sturgeon species — could die as a result of pile driving and dredging. Vessel strikes were not cited by the National Marine Fisheries Service as a significant threat to sturgeon life by assuming that the project’s boats would be operating at no more than 6 knots. Riverkeeper has said that vessels routinely move faster than 6 knots. The agency could change the rules and assumptions regarding the relationship between vessels and sturgeon in a new biological opinion expected to be released this winter as a result of the ongoing analysis started earlier this year. According to a statement from the Thruway Authority, “There is no credible scientific evidence that the project activities have negatively impacted the sturgeon populations.” In addition, the state agency cites mitigation investments it has made to protect the fish, such as bubble curtains that help reduce noise during pile driving. The sediment issue, separate from the problem of sturgeon mortality, has to do with the potentially hazardous dust and clay that settles on the bottom of the river and if disturbed surfaces into a cloudy haze. The language in the agreement for the water permit, which is needed by the bridge builders to begin the project, said that any “increase (of turbidity) that will cause a substantial visible contrast to natural conditions” is prohibited. Between September 2013 and October 2015, Riverkeeper provided in its letter photo documentation of eight instances that appears to show surfaced river sediment that could contain water pollutants such as mercury, PCBs, naphthalene, benzo(a)pyrene, nickel, copper, lead or zinc. The Thruway Authority has said that it has helped to reduce the resuspension of sediments due to vessel movements by constructing and armoring the dredge access channel as well as doing consistent water monitoring.

BY ANDI GRAY

Rebranding business takes thought and preparation It’s time to rebrand — at least I think it is. We’ve been through a lot of changes the last few years in terms of customers, markets, services and employees. Time to do a reality check on what we stand for. Any suggestions on do’s and don’ts? Thoughts of the Day: Make it clear what your company stands for in order to pull in the right customers, employees and market opportunities. Make the look of the brand reflect the tone of your company. Appeal to emotion — which means taking into account colors that reflect the tone. Include all brand components. Ask yourself a few questions before starting your rebranding project. Why are we rebranding? What problem are we attempting to solve with a rebranding? Does the brand tell a wrong or outdated story? What message are we trying to convey and to whom? Let your customers know what your company stands for. This is especially important when trying to pull in the right customers, employees, and market opportunities. What

do you think of when you think about your company? More importantly, what do your customers and your employees think? And do they agree? Is there a single image that comes to mind? A picture can be worth a thousand words if it correctly conveys the essence of what your company stands for. Build a representative look for your company. It can be a chicken-vs.-egg conversation when deciding what the brand stands for. Sometimes the company is well established, happy with its customers and employees. If that’s the case, start by asking them what they think and build a brand that represents their thoughts. At other times, it’s necessary to re-think the markets the company does business in, the customers and perhaps even employees that the company attracts. Strike out in a new direction with a new look that represents the future. Ask these questions to get started: What level quality: low, medium or high? How about price? Any warranty on goods & services? Any refunds? Do most customers need, like or love the product?

Are customers and employees loyal, or do they come and go? Does the brand represent a total umbrella for all that the company offers? Is your company dealing with businesses or consumers? Slow-moving or fast? Intellectual or more simple? Fun-loving or serious? You’ll have to decide how to incorporate the company’s name into its brand. Is the name the brand, such as Coca-Cola? Or is the intention to have an image take over, like the Nike swoosh? Emotion is an important part of branding, appeal to it. Make sure the emotion of your brand properly represents your company. Use words, images and colors to get your point across. Serious company? Pick a serious image and words. A more fun-oriented company needs a more light-hearted look and feel. Color selection is especially important: red for energy, strength, passion, love. Yellow for happiness, joy, intellect. Orange for enthusiasm, creativity and stimulation. Green for nature, growth, harmony, healing. Blue is for depth, stability, trust, calming. Be careful because hues of colors also add meaning; for example dark purple is for gloom, sadness

and frustration, while light purple represents romance and nostalgia. Some colors are more beloved, and some are highly disliked by most people. Do your homework! Look to the internet for great examples of rebranding. Companies like PepsiCo, Old Spice and Apple, have rebranded and boosted their sales and recognition in the process. Make sure to update all of your marketing to consistently represent your brand. Start with logo, tagline and voice. Be consistent with layout by using templates. For example: the logo always the same size, in the same location. Looking for a good book? “Designing Brand Identity: An Essential Guide for the Whole Branding Team, 4th Edition”, by Alina Wheeler.

Ganim takes Bridgeport reins citing $20M shortfall BY REECE ALVAREZ

ralvarez@westfairinc.com

peaking to a packed ballroom of community members and leaders at a board of directors meeting for The Workplace, a regional and national workforce development organization, Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim discussed the good and bad news facing Connecticut’s largest city. “I can tell you that we are hard at work trying to analyze, size up, digest and plot a strategy — an effective, diligent, transparent strategy — to deal with Bridgeport now and some of the problems that have arisen from the past, and chart a course for the future,”

Joseph Carbone, CEO of The WorkPlace.

From left, state Sen. Carl Leone, D-Stamford and Darien, and Steven Stafstrom, D-Bridgeport.

Mayor Joseph Ganim

Ganim told a room of well over 100 at the Bridgeport Holiday Inn on Dec. 18. Ganim began by addressing the looming budget deficit. “It is no secret; it was in the paper, we first estimated a budget deficit of somewhere north of $10 [million] it is now hovering probably around $20 [million]. We will have independent confirmation hopefully by outside auditors to find out how bad the internal financial situation is for the city of Bridgeport,” he said. “This is not a scare or to put anyone in a panic, we just want to put it out there that we have our hands full, and have for the past few weeks, and certainly will for the next 180 days to try and close out this fiscal year with some success.” The good news, Ganim said, is his administration is prepared and equipped to tackle the financial mess without compromising services or making drastic or draconian changes that impact quality of life or services. He cited progress being made on Steelepointe Harbor, a 50-plus acre redevelopment project including 2 million square feet of mixed residential, retail and office space along Bridgeport’s waterfront — pledging to further aid the city’s revival and hinting at yet to be announced projects in the works. “Transition is always uncomfortable. People are always worried about how it can be negative and maybe they spend a few minutes thinking hopefully it is positive,” he said. “The basic philosophy is that yes, there is a transition. There is going to be changes in faces and approaches, but I hope that you’ll find in any contact you have with city government, with me particularly, that our goal is to build on the great things that you have going on and are going on in this city.”

Good jobs news for Connecticut BY BILL FALLON

bfallon@westfairinc.com

onnecticut’s November job gains were a welcome sign of recovery, an economist with the state’s largest business organization said. The state reversed two months of declines, adding 5,100 jobs in November across a broad range of industry sectors. “Overall, we do see a welcomed recovery in this report following what was two very disappointing reports in October and September,” Connecticut Business and Industry Association economist Pete Gioia said. Gains covered a wide range of industries, led by leisure and hospitality, which added 1,500 jobs, and trade, transportation and utilities, with 1,100. Manufacturing evened out with 800

new positions, after losing the same amount last month. The unemployment rate remained at 5.1 percent, the lowest since March 2008. Year over year, the state has added 26,800 jobs. Connecticut has recovered 88.8 percent of total jobs lost during the Great Recession, the CBIA reported. The private sector has recovered 101.6 percent or 113,400 of jobs lost during the March 2008-February 2010 economic downturn. In comparison, Massachusetts added 5,900 jobs in November and has an unemployment rate of 4.7 percent while the United States added 211,000 jobs with unemployment at 5 percent. “Job growth in November was broadbased and noteworthy after two months of declines,” said Andy Condon, state Labor Department director of the office of research. “Private sector job growth reached a landmark, recovering the losses seen in the 2008

Hudson Valley unemployment lowest since 2007 BY JOHN GOLDEN

jgolden@westfairinc.com

nemployment in the seven-county Hudson Valley region dropped to 4.2 percent in November, its lowest rate for the month in eight years, as private-sector employers added a total of 8,200 jobs across the region from a year ago, according to the state Department of Labor. In Westchester County, the November unemployment rate dropped slightly to 4.1 percent, a 0.2 percent decline from October, and matched the month’s unemployment rate in Rockland and Dutchess counties. Putnam County had the region’s lowest unemployment level in November at 4 percent. The statewide unemployment rate in November remained at 4.8 percent, the lowest level since November 2007, Labor Department officials reported. The state private-sector job count last month increased by 176,700 from November 2014. Officials in Albany said the number of private-sector jobs statewide reached 7,869,600, an all-time high. The Hudson Valley’s private sector showed modest 1.1 percent job growth in

November from 12 months earlier. The region’s consistently strong educational and health services sector added 7,800 jobs last month since November 2014, a 4.5 percent increase. A resurgent natural resources, mining and construction sector added 3,600 jobs in November from the previous year, a 7.5 percent increase. Manufacturing companies across the region had 600 more jobs in November than a year earlier, a 1.3 percent increase. Those private-sector job gains last month were partly offset by a net loss of 3,000 jobs in trade, transportation and utilities since the previous November, a 1.6 percent decline, and a continued decline in the financial activities sector, which shed 1,300 jobs last month compared with November 2014. The leisure and hospitality sector, one of the region’s leading job generators through 2015, in November was down 1,800 jobs from a year earlier, a 2.2 percent decline. Other service business in the region fared better in November, adding a total of 2,200 jobs from the previous year, a 5.3 percent increase.

to 2010 recession.” In national economic news, Gioia noted the recent decision by the Federal Open Market Committee to raise interest rates, likely a quarter-point, was widely expected. “It’s a fairly benign impact from what we’ve seen,” said Gioia. The uptick will, however, increase the value of the dollar versus foreign curren-

cies, creating challenges for exporters and for companies and countries with dollar-denominated debt. Gioia said the consensus among economists is that by this time next year the rate increase will incrementally have become a full percentage point. What this means for Connecticut employers remains unseen, noted Gioia.

At the Flinn Gallery, Art that Engages A local and enduring treasure, The Flinn Gallery in the Greenwich Public Library presents six shows each year. Eclectic selection is a hallmark of the gallery’s shows, which may feature themes from landscapes to wearable art or precision sculpture to enhanced objects found in nature. Yet each of the presentations aims to fulfill its stated purpose of showing contemporary art that will “visually and conceptually engage the community.” Whether the artwork appears in pastels, oils, woods, metals, ink or wire, its aim is to stimulate the viewer. The artworks set the tone and mood of each show and the walls allow individualized configurations for display. Some well-known artists whose works have appeared are Robert Motherwell, set designer Tony Walton, Boris Chaliapin and cartoonist Roz Chast. In addition several Greenwich residents have loaned works from their private collections. The Flinn can trace its roots to the Society of Artists that emerged in 1912 from the Cos Cob Art Colony and accepted the invitation of Robert Moffat Bruce to show their works in his home, which later became the Bruce Museum. When the library moved to its current location, the gallery was called the Hurlbutt Gallery in honor of the former library director Isabelle Hurlbutt. Further expansion relocated the art space to its current second-floor venue in the new wing and changed the name to honor the generosity of Stephanie and Lawrence Flinn. A unique feature of the Flinn Gallery is that it continues to be a volunteer enterprise. The Friends of the Greenwich Library sponsors the not-for-profit operation and the donated time and talents of volunteers have ensured the gallery’s success for more than 80 years. Recently the annual visitor count exceeded 10,000. The membership supporting the Flinn is almost a United Nations consortium of artistic preferences: from traditional to modern, abstract to representational, subtle to bold or delicate to dazzling. Therefore, the six exhibits result from culling works that reflect members’ diverse interests and demonstrate art’s power to activate the imagination and expose visitors to different viewpoints. The Flinn Gallery is located on the second floor of the Greenwich Library’s main branch at 101 W. Putnam Ave. It is open daily Mon.-Sat. 10 a.m.-5 p.m.; Thurs. until 8 p.m.; and Sun. 1-5 p.m. Cynthia Whalen Flinn Gallery Member, Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County

The mission of the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County is to support cultural organizations, artists and creative businesses by providing promotion, services and advocacy.

Still Time to See “Humpback Whales” at the Maritime Swim, leap, dive and sing among some of the largest animals on Earth — shown life-sized on the six-story screen — as The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk presents the new IMAX movie, “Humpback Whales.” Under the helm of two-time Academy Award-nominated director Greg MacGillivray, MacGillivray Freeman Films focuses its acclaimed giant-screen storytelling skills on one of the ocean’s most enormous and fascinating creatures. “Humpback Whales” plays at 1 and 4 p.m. daily through Labor Day at The Maritime Aquarium, the popular South Norwalk family attraction whose IMAX movie screen is the largest in Connecticut. (From Labor Day through Nov. 24, show times are 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. daily.) The film will be shown at these times through Jan. 3. Narrated by two-time Golden Globe nominee Ewan McGregor and presented by Pacific Life, “Humpback Whales” invites audiences to dive head-first into the mysterious realm of these 55-foot, 50-ton aquatic mammals. Once feared as monsters and very nearly hunted to extinction, today humpbacks are in the midst of a slow but remarkable recovery.

IMAX is the world’s largest ﬁlm format, presenting the brightest, clearest images at almost 10 times the resolution of standard-projection formats. The imagery, combined with The Maritime Aquarium’s 12,000-watt laser-aligned digital surround-sound and customized theater geometry, creates the world’s most-immersive movie experience. For more information, visit MaritimeAquarium.org.

Pages From Pequot Explores Columbus “Pages from Pequot: Exploring Columbus” features material from Pequot Library’s special collections. On view are rare books about Christopher Columbus and his expeditions, including a facsimile of a letter he wrote about his journey in 1492. Written aboard the caravel Niña at sea, with a postscript penned March 14 after he had arrived back in Lisbon, Portugal, the letter —“First Voyage, The Second Printed Letter: Rome 1493” — addresses the monarchs of Spain. Within the letter he describes his discoveries as well as a narrative of his voyage: “. . . yet when they perceive that they are safe, putting aside all fear, they are of simple manners and trustworthy, and very liberal with everything they have, refusing no one who asks for anything they may possess and even themselves inviting us to ask for things. They show greater love for all others than for themselves. . . .” — Christopher

Revamped Peekskill theater on cusp of pro�itability

BY LEXI CURNIN

hough it’s midday and the marquee is dark, the grandeur of the Paramount Hudson Valley Theater is striking. Inside, the vast space of the amphitheater is encircled by intricate moldings and deep hues of red and gold. A vestige of the golden age of cinema, the former movie palace boasts an impressive 1,100 seats. The architecture firm of George and Charles Rapp built the Paramount, along with 40 identical theaters, in the 1930s. Only eight remain in operation today, including the Paramount and its sister theater across the Hudson River in Middletown. From 2012-13, the theater, then the Paramount Center for the Arts Inc., was shuttered. Because the city of Peekskill had acquired the building — and thus the burden of maintaining it — in a 1977 tax lien, it was eager to put the space to use. The Peekskill Common Council quickly issued an RFP to organizations interested in reopening the doors. The proposal submitted by Red House Entertainment, formed by respected sound engineer Kurt Heitmann of Garrison for the exclusive purpose of revitalizing the theater, was chosen for the strength and experience of its team, as well as its commitment to establishing a community theater. In May 2013, Red House signed a 17-year lease with the city with rent set at 5 percent of gross revenue. Rebuilding has been a multiyear, multifaceted process. In addition to the necessary changes to the infrastructure of the theater, including installing a front-of-house platform and running fiber optic cables below the stage, relationships with booking agents, sponsors and the general public necessitated repair. After the closing of the Paramount Center for the Arts, Heitmann said some “bad blood” lingered within the community. In order to win back the public’s trust, the theater honored unused tickets left over from the previous operation for the first year after opening. In order to truly serve the public, however, Red House recognized the need for a nonprofit arm to the for-profit commercial music side of the organization. With newly granted 501(c)(3) status, the theater is now able to accept donations that will facilitate program-

ming attractive to the local community. Heitmann said, “the reason we called it Paramount Hudson Valley is because it’s not just about Peekskill, it’s about the Hudson Valley … and it’s about all the different communities in it. …It’s not just an old folks’ theater or a young kids’ theater, it’s everybody’s theater.” The theater is already working to support local artists by featuring their work in a gallery upstairs, hosting regular open-mic nights and booking unestablished bands as openers for larger visiting acts. Children’s programs have also been a significant part of community outreach. In early December, several local schools rented out the theater to host the ENCORE!! series put on by a theater group from Boston. The actors performed adapted versions of stories written by Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe and Washington Irving, including Hudson Valley favorite, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” In another recent outreach effort, Paramount hosted a breakfast with Latino leaders from throughout the Hudson

Valley to gain valuable insight into what kind of events would be of interest to the Latino community. The popularity of the performance of “Call Mr. Robeson: A Life, with Songs,” suggests efforts like the breakfast have not been without result. The production, an exploration of the life and civil rights activism of Paul Robeson, highlights his involvement in the Peekskill riots. The presence in the audience of several witnesses to the 1949 riots made the performance a “very powerful moment in theater,” according to Red House public relations manager Abigail Adams. Though the theatrical performances have been extremely well received, it is the commercial concerts that are the main source of ticket sale revenue. Thanks to the tireless work of Heitmann and Red House booking agent Kim Yaffa, Paramount Hudson Valley has been host to celebrated acts such as Chris Botti, Kansas, the Charlie Daniels Band and Daisy Jopling. Despite hosting big-name performers, the

theater lost money during the first two years of opening. This, however, was fully expected by Heitmann, who said, “We knew that we would be putting more money into the business than we would be able to get out of ticket sales, again, trying to rebuild. And we’re now in our third year, and we’re at the breakeven point, so business has been very good.” The success of Paramount Hudson Valley is not occurring in a vacuum. After the Paramount Center for the Arts closed in 2012, Heitmann recalls, “There was a dark mood over this town.” Local business suffered, causing several restaurants to close. But now, with the reopening of the theater, Peekskill has seen the inception of several new art galleries and restaurants. Because downtown Peekskill is not easily accessible from the nearest train station, an establishment like Paramount Hudson Valley helps to attract needed visitors. Adams said, “We know that this is an economic engine for Peekskill. When we have a big show, it’s trickledown. Everybody benefits.”

CHALLENGING CAREERS

BY CATHERINE PORTMAN-LAUX

Mind, body and soul in a whirl

“J

ust say no to saying no.” Armed with this philosophy, Newburgh’s spirited Heather Howley soldiered on to become a helicopter pilot despite misgivings of others. It didn’t stop there. She next became an instructor, then owner of Independent Helicopters LLC at Stewart International Airport in New Windsor and Saratoga County Airport and is now spreading her wings with planned expansion into South Carolina in 2017. There is no typical day for Howley, who oversees operation and maintenance of the firm’s five helicopters and one simulator. She might be instructing an aspiring pilot, ferrying an aerial photographer, taking a utility company representative on an inspection tour of wires or transporting an executive to a Manhttan office. Raised in upstate Niskayuna, she completed studies at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy. “I originally planned to be a veterinarian, but I spent two months traversing Europe and was bitten by the travel bug,” she said.

Selling everything, she moved to California, planning to enter a school for pilots. “A female instructor told me about helicopters. She convinced me that they have more stable jobs and make more money.” The ensuing 20-month education, financed by student loans, cost $70,000. Upon completion of training, she received six job offers. Initially, she did not plan to go into her own business. “The school where I worked went out of business and I took on the students,” she said. At age 25 she leased her first helicopter, a smallish Robinson R22, valued at $170,000. “An instructor’s license requires a minimum of 200 flight hours,” Howley said, “but most employers require 1,000 hours.” Howley’s students start their training on a flight simulater. However, it was not a simulator, but the real thing, when a student reached in error for the fuel and air mixer which introduces fuel to the engine. An alert Howley intercepted the move. “The student had fingernail scars as a souvenir of the near mishap,” she said of her quick intervention. One memorable flight was in transport-

ing an aerial photographer around the Times Square area on a Fourth of July at sunset, waiting for lights to come on and watching the city come alive, she recalled. Her flight school is approved for veterans, who can tap into their GI bill benefits, Howley said. “Even pilots who flew military helicopters need transitional training.” Howley partners with SUNY Dutchess Community College, which already had an aviation program, supplementing their classroom instruction with hands-on lessons in the flight simulator and the choppers. The college offers an associate degree in aviation science. “What girls need are role models to show them all that piloting has to offer,” Howley said. She was startled to get a visit from a 5-year-old attired in a bomber jacket all ready to go, “because her grandfather was a pilot.” Howley became a young widow when her husband of a year and a half, Marius Ivascu, a pilot and skydiver, was killed in an air crash in August 2014 in Saratoga County. “We met during the sky diving competition at the Nu Cavu Restaurant in Wallkill,” she said. For their wedding, which was held at the

Rhinebeck Aerodrome, Howley piloted the helicopter from which her husband parachuted from to the wedding party below. “In his memory I raise funds to make scholarship donations annually: $1,000 to a man and $1,000 to a woman toward an aviation career.” Howley is an active promoter of drawing visitors to Stewart Airport for other than hopping on a plane. At a Stewart Airport Commission meeting in September, she spoke of her vision of a “campus” featuring restaurants and stores. She is a member of Women in Aviation International, Whirly-Girls and The NinetyNines Inc., both nonprofit groups dedicated to supporting female helicopter pilots. Howley also partners with Girl Scouts to help them earn their aviation badges, adding “Individuals can begin helicopter pilot training at age 17.” Challenging Careers focuses on the exciting and unusual business lives of Hudson Valley residents.

Our ability to diagnose and treat these issues contributes to the general wellness of our patients.” To receive accreditation for a five-year period, a sleep center must meet or exceed all standards for professional health care as designated by the AASM. These standards address core areas such as personnel, facility and equipment, policies and procedures, data acquisition, patient care and quality assurance.

STATE AWARDS $343K FOR HISTORIC SLOOP RESTORATION Hudson River Sloop Clearwater has received another round of support from New York state in the form of a $343,776 matching grant from the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPRHP) and will be applied to the winter 2016 restoration. The funds will be used to restore the rigging and topsides above the water line on the historic sloop replica Clearwater. A 106-foot wooden tall ship, built by Pete Seeger and friends to bring awareness to the health and beauty of the Hudson was first launched in 1969. “We are very grateful that New York state has again provided Clearwater with significant funding to help off-

York to present the toys in person. Another annual key contributor to the effort is John Lennon, owner of Yonkers-based Smart Move & Storage, who donates his company’s services to transport and store all the donations while they are distributed by local community organizations. “Social responsibility is not just for corporations, it is imperative we all do what we can,” said Rooney. “Giving back is about community and helping others move forward. There are no greater deeds than charity and service.” “Once again we are fortunate, through the generosity of Tim Rooney and the Empire City Casino family for this donation of toys and coats that will benefit some of the more vulnerable families that we work with in the city of Yonkers and beyond,” said Sullivan.

Rooney, president and CEO of Empire City Casino in Yonkers, presented a donation of nearly 1,000 toys and coats, collected during the casino’s ninth annual “Christmas Spirit” Toy and Coat Drive, to Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York Executive Director Monsignor Kevin Sullivan. Rooney also surprised the service organization with a donation of $10,000 to assist the nonprofit in continuing to provide vital services to New York families in need. The drive to help families in our communities attracted some West Coast warmth. Josh Blake, president of California-based and family-owned company, Jams, donated hundreds of toys to the annual drive.

off the Christmas season,” said Susan Murray Tetz, president of Catholic Charities’ board of directors, house tour committee chairperson, and a participating homeowner on the tour. “We are so grateful to the eight other homeowners and their families who gave so generously of their time, talent and treasure to decorate their homes and invite friends and strangers alike inside to share the holidays in order to raise funds for those served by Catholic Charities.”

GOOD THINGS HAPPENING NEA AWARDS CREATIVE WRITING FELLOWSHIPS The National Endowment for the Arts has selected Purchase College creative writing professor Mehdi Tavana Okasi as one of 37 recipients of a $25,000 creative writing fellowship. Okasi was chosen from among 1,763 eligible applicants by 23 readers and panelists. Through its creative writing fellowships program, the NEA gives writers the time and space to create, revise, conduct research and connect with readers.

“I’m grateful to the NEA for honoring me with this award,” said Okasi, an assistant professor of creative writing in his second year at Purchase. “This award comes at a crucial time for me, when immigrants like myself are daily faced with a dangerous and damaging vitriol. This award gives me the courage to continue with my novel, the story of two Iranian-American immigrant families finding their way in America. While the financial support is

incredibly appreciated, I am also grateful for the emotional encouragement that accompanies this award. Namely, that art has the power to bridge cultures and peoples.” “Since its inception, the creative writing fellowship program has awarded more than $45 million to a diverse group of more than 3,000 writers, many of them emerging writers at the start of their careers,” said NEA Director of Literature Amy Stolls.

NEW OFFICERS AT CPW David Kelson has been appointed to executive vice president and Randy Rifelli treasurer of the Board of Directors of Cerebral Palsy of Westchester. Kelson is a director in the Syndicated and Leveraged Finance Group at TD Securities, which is the global investment banking arm of TD Bank Group.

Rifelli, is a structural engineer and president of United Iron Inc. in Mount Vernon, a 55-year-old, family-owned business and one of the leaders in the steel industry. He holds a Bachelor of Civil Engineering de-

gree from Villanova University and an MBA from Iona College. “We are very fortunate to have two distinguished individuals on CPW’s Board of Directors,” said CPW Executive Director Linda Kuck. “Their commitment and knowledge will help CPW as it continues to provide much-needed programs and services to individuals with disabilities.”

Now in its 21st year, the Santa’s Helpers program at NewYork-Presbyterian/ Hudson Valley Hospital (NYP/HVH) in Cortlandt Manor has been brightening the holidays for deserving children in surrounding communities by working with social services agencies to obtain holiday wish lists from families in need. In turn, NYP/HVH employees forego spending

money on holiday gift exchanges and instead donate the money to a gift-giving fund. This year, volunteers spent $125 each on more than 900 gifts for 118 children and their families in the Cortlandt Manor area. Since 1994, this program has raised more than $350,000 to purchase gifts for more than 1,600 Westchester children and their families.

BRINGING HOLIDAY CHEER TO CHILDREN Members of the Children’s Coordinated Services Initiative (CCSI), Putnam Family & Community Services (PFCS), Green Chimneys Outreach Center and the Putnam County Youth Bureau teamed once again on to host their annual Children’s Holiday Party Dec. 10. More than 100 people representing more than 30 families, including 50 to 60 children and their parents/relatives, gathered at the Carmel Fire Department to celebrate the holiday season with food, fun and festivities. In cooperation with the Toys for Tots Foundation, a program run by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, toys were distributed to all children in attendance in the hopes of making the holidays

extra special for the kids. Other generous donations made this wonderful evening possible, including funds to buy gift cards for presents suitable for the older children and food for holiday dinners, as well as funding for a buffet dinner served up by the Arthur Avenue Deli. “The families we serve through the CCSI program have said that this event is the highlight of their holiday season,” said Christina McGuigan, PFCS CCSI team coordinator. “Everyone has a wonderful time, and the children are so excited to get gifts that they might not otherwise have received during this holiday season. It’s great to be able to bring such joy.”

Cerebral Palsy of Westchester (CPW) students with disabilities were visited by members of NYSBOC (New York State Building Officials Conference, Westchester Chapter) and presented with gifts Dec. 18 by Santa and his helpers. NYSBOC has 150 active members who personally picked out and purchased for each child at CPW a gift to brighten the day and holiday season. More than 70 gifts were donated to the children by the conference members who have been supporters of Cerebral Palsy of Westchester over the past few years participating in fundraising events and hosting their own golf outing, which raised more than $27,000.

NYSBOC is a group of building officials who meet once a month to review code updates and code enforcements at 42 municipalities in Westchester County. Members of NYSBOC that attended include President Sal Pennelle, Vice President Peter Russo, Joseph Saracino, and Al Mingione. This group of giving individuals went above and beyond to make the day of some very deserving children. Cerebral Palsy of Westchester has been one of the leading nonprofit organizations in Westchester and Fairfield counties for more than 65 years providing essential services to children and adults with all developmental disabilities.

HIS WIFE SAID MIDLIFE CRISIS. HIS THERAPIST SAID DEPRESSION. HIS DOCTOR SAID ALZHEIMER’S. NOBODY SAID FTD. Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) is the most common cause of dementia for people under 60, affecting more than 50,000 in the U.S. alone. Onset strikes earlier in life—when few anticipate dementia—and accurate diagnosis can take years. Families lose active parents and breadwinners without knowing what’s stealing away the person they love. And when a diagnosis is made, there are no effective treatments. Help to change that reality today. www.theAFTD.org/learnmore

Norwalk Chamber event weds good cheer and good cause

he Greater Norwalk Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual holiday reception and nonprofit benefit recently at Dolce Norwalk, the 66-acre meetings, events and hotel facility on Weed Avenue in Norwalk. The packed-house gathering on a dismal, rainy night bore testimony to the popularity of the event, which chamber President/CEO Ed Musante refers to as his favorite of the year. The evening featured a raffle, the proceeds of which were to benefit the Norwalkbased Child Guidance Center of Mid-Fairfield County. Before the raffle began, Mark Lilliedahl, president of the Norwalk-based Child Guidance Center of Mid-Fairfield County Board of Directors, said, “Every cent we get, whether one dollar, $1,000 or $10,000, goes to save children’s lives.” Event sponsors were Spinnaker Real Estate Partners and People’s United Bank. Stew Leonard’s provided the table wine. The oyster and clam bar was sponsored by Hillard Bloom Shellfish Inc. In welcoming the assembled, Dolce Manager Michael McNeill said the center will largely be closed for January and part of February for renovations. He said there will be a new restaurant and bar and a remade lobby by March, part of an ongoing two-year capital plan. Next year will witness remakes of the center’s ballroom and remaining meeting spaces. Dolce maintains 21,200 square feet of meeting space; 32 meeting rooms a 3,612-square-foot ballroom; 32 multipurpose meeting rooms; an amphitheater; 120 guest rooms; an indoor pool and fitness center and on-site basketball, racquetball, volleyball, billiards and tennis. — Bill Fallon 1.
