Burch Bottle & Packaging Purchases A 76,000-Square-Foot Structure In Queensbury

Posted onOctober 15, 2020October 16, 2020

By Christine Graf
Waterford-based Burch Bottle & Packaging, Inc. has purchased the former Web Graphics building in Queensbury.
The 12-acre property was purchased for $2.5 million and includes a 76,000-square-foot warehouse with five loading docks. It is located at 428 Corinth Road, approximately one mile west of Northway Exit 18 .
According to Burch Bottle vice president George Ide IV, it was the property’s proximity to the Northway that was one of its major selling points.
“We had been looking for a new location for about two years,” said Ide. “We were looking for more space. It’s not an easy thing to find an existing space, and we didn’t want to build. This is a great area—a growing area—with a good shipping lane.”

Saratoga Hospital Becomes One Of The First To Offer Robot-Assisted Knee, Hip Surgery

Posted onOctober 15, 2020October 16, 2020

Dr. Lorelei Bourla has joined Saratoga Hospital to lead the latest addition to its multidisciplinary medical group: Saratoga Hospital Medical Group-Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
The hospital also announced it is one of the first in the Capital Region to offer robotic arm-assisted surgery for hip and knee replacements. The cutting-edge robotic technology, known as the Stryker Mako System, enhances patient care by ensuring a higher level of precision and accuracy during surgery, officials said.
The new Allergy and Clinical Immunology practice provides care for patients of all ages who have asthma, allergies and other conditions caused by problems with the body’s immune system. These types of disorders are on the rise, hospital officials said. Although most cannot be cured, treatments can help relieve and manage symptoms.
“These conditions can take a toll on individual and community health,” said Dr. Richard Falivena, vice president and chief medical and physician integration officer at Saratoga Hospital. “Our new practice will increase access to care for these patients and help them improve and enjoy day-to-day life.

Business Report: Taking Time Off To Vote

Posted onOctober 15, 2020October 16, 2020
James Marco, president of Saratoga Human Resources Solutions Inc.

By James Marco
This year’s national election will be held on Nov. 3.  New York state requires that registered voters have sufficient time outside of working hours to vote.
The state defines “sufficient time” as four hours between the opening of the polls and the start of work, or, four hours after the end of work and the closing of polls.  If an employee does not have “sufficient time” to vote, then they may, under circumstances we will outline in a moment, take time off from work to vote, with no loss of pay for up to two hours.
Employers, you have the right to set your policy, determine whether time off can be taken at the beginning or end of the shift, and communicate that policy to your staff.  Early notice to your employees will help avert potential staffing and coverage problems.
First, make sure your employees are registered voters.  They can print out this information at the following website: https://voterlookup.elections.ny.gov.  Have them provide this to you if they are requesting time off to vote.
Second, find out when the local polls are open.

Pretty Hot Mess has moved back to South Glens Falls at 139 Saratoga Ave. in the Hannaford Plaza.
Owner Angel Isaac opened the shop in 2018 and moved to Warren Street in Glens Falls in 2019. She said the move back to South Glens Falls was prompted by a need for more space.
“We’ve grown significantly in the last year. We needed more space, plus we wanted our shop to be more handicap accessible and have more room for wheelchairs,” said Isaac.
Isaac credits word of mouth and referrals from the medical community for the shop’s growth.
“We finally have a lot of medical providers on board with our products, and a lot of those medical providers are sending people our way instead of writing them a prescription. A lot of people are turning to more natural alternatives as opposed to prescriptions. Definitely our oils were popular during the whole Coronavirus scare. A lot of people were using them to keep themselves from getting sick,” she said.

The success of Saratoga Olive Oil has led to an expansion with a new store at 1341 Saratoga Road in Moreau.
The company opened a facility that has a 7,500-square-foot warehouse and 3,000 square feet of retail space.
Owner Clint Braidwood said they had been searching the last couple years for a warehouse facility. He came close to purchasing land and building a warehouse with Munter Enterprises in W.J. Grande. Industrial Park, however, John Munter, owner of Munter Enterprises, suggested that they look into the facility in Moreau.
“He thought it would be a great fit for us. It was indeed a perfect fit for Saratoga Olive Oil Company. We now have warehouse space, the ability to expand our warehouse and corporate offices, a front retail space and a photo room in our front building,” said Braidwood.
The new spot will offer discounted and discontinued items, as well as bulk items, a concept Braidwood anticipates will do well.
Braidwood founded the business with his wife Barbara and brother Chad Braidwood in 2011. He said when the pandemic hit, they were all worried.

Saratoga Subaru recently donated $25,000 to support renovations to Saratoga Hospital’s William J. Hickey Women’s Health Services unit and help get babies and families off to a healthy start.
The gift, which was presented Oct. 2, is the dealership’s second contribution for the mother/baby unit project. Last year, the company donated $18,444, for a combined gift of $43,444.
“These contributions from Saratoga Subaru will help us provide families and babies with the best possible birth experience,” said Angelo Calbone, Saratoga Hospital president and CEO. “The gifts also are a wonderful reminder of how fortunate we are to serve a community that has been unwavering in its support for Saratoga Hospital for 125 years. We thank the team at Saratoga Subaru for their generosity and for continuing that proud tradition.”
Both gifts are funded by Subaru of America’s annual Share the Love Event. During the holiday season, Subaru of America “shares the love” by donating $250 for each new Subaru that’s purchased or leased at a participating dealer—in this case, Saratoga Subaru, which is part of Mackey Auto Group.

Like many businesses during the corona virus pandemic, Integrated Staffing is having “a weird year,” according to co-owner Dhianna Yezzi. In the midst of it, the company moved from Glens Falls into new, larger space at 463 Maple Ave. in Saratoga Springs.
Integrated Staffing is a locally owned and operated temporary, temporary-to-permanent, and permanent staffing agency.
The new headquarters was once a house. An addition to the front of the building provides office space for five people in an open space off the former front foyer. Construction began before the pandemic but was halted because of it.
“It took about two years, but we finally have our addition,” she said. Its former office at 22 Hudson St. in Glens Falls is currently vacant but “we have the space and can open if needed.”
The company’s Albany satellite office is open by appointment only.

Business Report: Cybersecurity Is Different, So Treat It So

Posted onOctober 15, 2020October 16, 2020
Mark Shaw, president and CEO of Stored Technology Solutions Inc. (StoredTech).

By Mark Shaw
Businesses are starting to wake up to the growing need for cybersecurity. Your worlds have changed, and everyone rushed on day one in April to take their computers home, get VPNs set up and now you are in a mixed state.
Some staff are home, others are in the office full time, others swing in and out of the office on a flexible schedule. This has produced some wonderful changes in the way we work; it has also provided cyber criminals a series of new methods to attack.
What we are seeing is a growing need to treat cybersecurity differently. This is not an IT problem. Your internal or external technology resources should not be the same. You need to consider a clear separation of church and state in your organization.
Why? I`m sure you are asking why would you need a second company involved in your day to day technology? I have an IT team, why do I need someone else? I have an outsourced IT firm, why wouldn’t they be good enough? Let`s spend a few moments and discuss the rationale for having a separate and completely distinct cybersecurity firm.
Would you go to your dentist and ask them to check out a pain in your foot? Would you hand over all cash flow to one person with no oversight? Probably not, right?

Business Report: October 2020

Posted onOctober 15, 2020October 16, 2020
Rose Miller is president of Pinnacle Human Resources LLC.

By Rose Miller
As fall and winter approach, employers will not only have to plan for the on-going pandemic, but they must also address the challenges faced by working parents, a stressed workforce, decisions involving onsite versus a remote workforce and possibly shutting down again.
These decisions involve creating comprehensive and legally compliant policies and procedures.
It is also a time for employers to think about a comprehensive approach to its company’s benefits. Like every aspect of the business, employers need to assess how the pandemic has impacted their entire benefit offering. They need to also consider how new federal and state mandated leaves interplay with paid time off policies and insurance benefits. Based on their findings, they may want to revise what type of benefits are critical to both the company and its employees.
According to the annual MetLife Benefit Trends Survey for 2020, generational demographics show a glimpse on how businesses should revise their benefit offerings and possibly reallocate funds to better meet employee needs.

COVID Exposure Notification Mobile App Launched By New York, New Jersey Officials

Posted onOctober 15, 2020October 16, 2020

New York and New Jersey launched COVID-19 exposure notification mobile apps in their respective states that officials claim will serve as crucial tools to supplement the effort to trace and contact individuals subject to a COVID exposure.
The apps, COVID Alert NY and COVID Alert NJ, notify users of potential COVID-19 exposure while maintaining user privacy and security.
The states join Pennsylvania and Delaware in creating a regional COVID Alert app network that operates across state lines to stop the spread of COVID-19. Connecticut has also will launch the Exposure Notification System in the coming weeks.
The free mobile apps-available to anyone 18 or older who lives, works, or attends college in New York or New Jersey-are available for download from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
“We have a very exciting announcement that has taken a lot of work and it’s really creative and smart and I think it can make a big difference. This is a technology-based contact tracing app. Testing is only as good as your contact tracing,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. “Testing is to identify a person, so you can isolate and quarantine that person and then find the connections from that person, and that’s contact tracing. We have about 15,000 people statewide who do contact tracing, they call them disease detectives. But we’ve been looking for a technology-based solution. And today, we are announcing an app that you can download for free from the app store called COVID Alert NY.
