he town of Cortlandt this month is expected to convene its Verplanck Quarry Planning Committee to continue the effort to create a master plan for development of the 99-acre Cortlandt Quarry Park with three development proposals currently being floated. The site of the former quarry has frontage along the Hudson River in addition to inland frontage along 11th Street and Broadway in the hamlet of Verplanck.

The property was acquired by Cortlandt in 2016. It formerly was owned by Con Edison and once was the site of a limestone quarry.

The quarry closed in 1956 after it began to be flooded by water from an underground stream.

Eventually, the flooding created a pond covering almost 32 acres with some sections deeper than 150 feet. Rock cliffs rise from 30 to 80 feet high on portions of the site. Three concrete buildings related to the former quarry operation are partially submerged by the pond.

Cortlandt was awarded $3.2 million from the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic Development Administration

Assistance to Nuclear Closure Communities Program to help fund development of a new recreation facility on the quarry site along with infrastructure improvements, including roads and a water line.

Three businesses are proposing development plans for the quarry and the master plan may be crafted in such a way as to make it possible for all three or even additional developers to

build and coexist.

Currently proposed are an outdoor adventure sports park featuring water-based attractions; an indoor sports center featuring artificial turf fields for soccer, lacrosse and other sports; and a hard apple cider production facility and taproom.

ew tools for digital engagement and exploration are playing a part in shaping the future of Norwalk.

A tool called Social Pinpoint has been used to solicit comments and ideas about the future of the city’s waterfront. Social Pinpoint allows visitors to make their feelings heard by offering them the opportunity to ask questions, make suggestions and share observations while tying each waterfront-related comment to the exact latitude and longitude.

Visitors to the city’s Social Pinpoint site are presented with a welcome message from Norwalk Tomorrow, the local long-term platform for encouraging public participation in planning initiatives. Then, they are presented with a map of the section of the city’s urban core around the Norwalk River. While much of the industry which was once based in the area has either moved or closed over the years, there are still a number of businesses that rely on access to the river.

Visitors can click and drag a series of themed pins to the points on the map related to their concerns. Other visitors can then reply to comments and either “like” or “dislike” them in a show of support or opposition. The resulting map is filterable and interactive for the public, while providing even richer data for the organization using it.

Laura Kenny, a senior planner for Norwalk, was pleased with the engagement that the community had with the new tool. During the first week of example, she noted, the site had 123 comments with 1,034 unique viewers, and 2,709 total visits, which Kenny felt compared favorably to more tradi» NORWALK

Subdivision for 29 houses under review in Mount Pleasant

BY PETER KATZ

Pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

n environmental review is underway for a proposal to subdivide a parcel at 715 Sleepy Hollow Road in Mount Pleasant so that 29 new single-family houses can be built.

ZappiCo Real Estate Development LLC proposes to subdivide a 36.83-acre property into a 32-lot cluster subdivision.

Two existing residences would be preserved and one lot in the parcel would be preserved for open space.

ZappiCo, based in Hawthorne, is a builder of single-family houses, townhomes and condominiums.

It has projects in Briarcliff Manor, Chappaqua, Ardsley, Yorktown, and Mohegan Lake among other communites. The founder and CEO of the company is Jim Zappi and other Zappi family members are active in the firm.

The Mount Pleasant Planning Board has determined the scope of the environmental review that is required for the project and a full Environmental Impact Statement is to be prepared as

required under the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act. ZappiCo has named the project “Meadows at Briarcliff.” In August 2020, ZappiCo purchased 42 acres of land in the town of Mount Pleasant and the village of Briarcliff Manor. Approximately six acres of the 42-acre parcel located in the village of Briarcliff Manor subsequently were sold so they could be developed to support two single-family homes.

ZappiCo now proposes to subdivide the existing parcel into a total of 31 building lots ranging in size from 20,012 square feet to 127,327 square feet. It also proposes to set aside approximately 21.56 acres, or approximately 58% of the land, as open space by creating a conservation easement.

ZappiCo says that the residential community will be served by four cul-de-sac roadways that connect with Sleepy Hollow Road.

The cul-de-sacs will be private but built to town standards and will be maintained by a homeowner’s association. Water and sewer lines would connect with Briarcliff Manor infrastructure.

A traffic study by KimleyHorn Engineering and Landscape Architecture determined that the project would have no perceptible impact on traffic conditions in the area.

An engineering study of the topography found that most of the property is relatively flat but there are portions of the site, which will involve construction disturbance to slopes over 15%.

There are four acres of wetlands on the site but plans call for the wetlands and buffer areas to remain undisturbed. The site has frontage on Pocantico Lake but the land within 300 feet of the lake would be undisturbed.

There would be a conservation easement along the lakefront and trees would be kept to provide a buffer. Stormwater would be diverted away from the lake.

In its application, ZappiCo said, “The primary benefits when designing a cluster subdivision include reducing impervious surfaces, less tree clearing and earth disturbance, reduced maintenance costs for road and utilities.

The cluster plan allows existing environmental features such as

woods, slopes and wetlands to be protected.”

The company said it has had experience building cluster developments in Westchester including the Windsor Farms project in Somers that won a smart growth award with the help of the Westchester Land Trust.

“The town benefits by the taxes on the newly created lots.

The community will benefit by the anticipated increase in property values and protection of conservation land,” ZappiCo said. “With the proposed roads to be private and owned and maintained by HOA (homeowners association) … there is no maintenance burden on the town. HOA would be responsible for all utility and infrastructure maintenance and stormwater management. Cluster benefits the future property owner within the subdivision with less lawn and property maintenance needed.”

ZappiCo said that an existing easement for the New Croton Aqueduct, which runs through the southwest portion of the site, has no impact on the proposed development.

SUITE TALK Timothy Tully, executive chairman, and H. Russell Holland, president and CEO of Fieldpoint Private

BY PHIL HALL Phall@westfairinc.com

ast month, Greenwich-based Fieldpoint Private, a private banking and wealth advisory firm, announced its expansion into Atlanta with a new full-service office. This was the firm’s third Southeastern office, joining locations in Miami and Orlando; Fieldpoint Private also has a location in New York City. The new office adds to the firm’s rapidly growing footprint spanning Greenwich, Connecticut, New York City, and Orlando and Miami, Fla. Fieldpoint Private ranks in the top 5% of the fastest-growing banks in the U.S., according to S&P Global data; as of the third quarter of 2021, the company’s asset base grew 42% year-over-year.

In this edition of Suite Talk, Business Journal Senior Enterprise Editor interviews Fieldpoint Private’s Executive Chairman Timothy Tully and the company's banking unit President and CEO H. Russell Holland about the company’s place within the financial services world.

What is the game plan for Fieldpoint Private going into 2022?

Tully: We put together a growth plan back in the summer of 2020 to reposition ourselves as a bank. We're a wealth management business, but we're a bank and we essentially had more capital than we needed.

There were three pillars to our strategy.

First was to grow our balance sheet, the second was to professionalize our deposit gathering, which means beyond our advisor teams to gather deposits from local businesses and other people, and third was to support our existing wealth management, business and advisors and help them grow that business and expand into different areas, largely in the Southeast.

We were about a $950-million-asset bank at that time and we've crossed over $1 billion in just a little over 15 months. Heading into 2022, we've got a lot of momentum on our side and we anticipate just continuing with that momentum and continuing our growth patterns. We will probably raise some more capital to support our growth, but that's a good problem to have.

Holland: We leveraged our core value proposition, which has always been private banking and supporting a wealth advisory business. Since our founding, that has been our model and we didn't stray from that.

We grew the bank in the private banking sector, in alignment with our wealth business in Greenwich and in Manhattan. And then we took that south into Atlanta and Orlando and Miami by recruiting teams in those markets and following some of our clients down into those markets when they migrated out.

of time for everybody, with Covid and the pandemic. But our clients have done pretty well. It was a tough time back there in March and April of 2020, but the market has been extraordinary in its so-called comeback and resilience in the face of the pandemic.

Holland: Our board approved the repositioning plan July of 2020, when we were in the midst of the initial wave of Covid. And there was a lot of reluctance

for other banks to lend at that point in time, other than PPP — they were pretty much not doing any lending. It was really opportunistic for us to be out there hiring bankers — we hired 38 employees in 2020 and 62 in 2021 to grow our bank. And as a result, we were able to put those additional assets on the balance sheet over the last 15 months. » SUITE TALK

Your company has focused on the Southeast. Are you looking to expand to the rest of the country?

Tully: We have clients in 48 states, but a lot of migration of our client base was from Connecticut and New York to Florida, and that market is very much aligned with the Northeast, so it was a good fit for us. But we're not limiting it to those markets. We’re going to fill in along the East Coast and look to other markets across the country.

Holland: There are plenty of markets for us to go into along the East Coast. We don't have anything in Boston, we don't have anything in Philadelphia, we don't have anything in D.C., so there's plenty of opportunity for us.

What are you hearing from your clients today in regard to the overall state of the economy and how it impacts their wealth and their assets?

Tully: It's been such a difficult period

Latimer shrugs off lame duck label; Jenkins promises affordable housing push

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

W

estchester County Executive George Latimer was sworn in for his second four-year term as county executive in a virtual ceremony on Jan. 3. During his first term, Latimer proposed and the County Board of Legislators approved a two-term limit for county executives, so Latimer’s second term will be his last in the post.

Deputy County Executive Ken Jenkins also was sworn in for a second term.

Because of the Covid pandemic, the 2022 ceremony stood in sharp contrast to Latimer’s first inauguration four years ago when an estimated 1,000 people attended. The virtual ceremony took place in the county executive’s office suite at the Michaelian Office Building in White Plains and was telecast on the internet.

The program was emceed by Westchester County Attorney John Nonna and opened with prayers from Rev. Troy DeCohen of the Mount Vernon Heights Congregational Church and Rabbi Leora Frankel of Larchmont Temple. Boy Scouts Troop 165 from Yorktown recited the Pledge of Allegiance and County Correction Officer Joetta Crump sang the National Anthem.

Recorded messages of good wishes came from elected officials including U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Gov. Kathy Hochul.

“Going into this new term, the top item in my portfolio is housing,” Jenkins said.

“Specifically, working through the various challenges we have seen pre-pandemic, now during the pandemic and eventually post-pandemic.”

Jenkins said that he wants to build on the $50 million that’s included in the 2022 budget for land acquisition and infrastructure improvements to support the development of affordable housing within the county. The county also has a rehabilitation assistance program for small landlords totaling $10 million

Administrative Judge Anne Minihan, 9th Judicial District, administers oath to Ken Jenkins. that the landlords can use to repair, rehabilitate or improve apartment units. In exchange, the units must remain affordable for a fixed period of time.

“I’m looking forward to continuing working with all of our municipal partners, our advocacy organizations and the people of Westchester on this very, very important issue,” Jenkins said.

Latimer said, “The first four years of our administration were all about fixing what was FCBJ

WCBJ

broken. We inherited a number of fiscal problems and first and foremost we needed to get Westchester County back on solid financial ground. But more than that, we created a template that results matter to us.”

Latimer cited accomplishments such as converting the county’s Bee Line Bus System to hybrid and all-electric vehicles, negotiating a new management agreement for Playland, using IDA resources to help compa-

nies such as Regeneron expand and create more jobs, and using county resources to help small businesses survive the hardships caused by the pandemic.

Latimer ridiculed the idea that he will be a lame duck in office for the next four years because of the term limits he created.

“I intend to quack quite loudly and boldly on the issues that face us,” Latimer said.

“That quacking will have force and power and will be unen-

cumbered by concerns about the next election. I intend for us to do the good and necessary things we need to do and to do those things confidently.”

Latimer said he plans to stage county-wide community discussions on the future of the Westchester County Center and the Westchester County Airport, including development of a new master plan for the airport.

“All voices will be included, all voices must be heard and they will be heard,” Latimer said.

Latimer said that he welcomes exchanging views with people who hold differing views from his and are across the aisle politically.

“When we face opposition that is not based on principal but rather simply to gain political advantage and power we will call it out for what it is and we will push back with purpose and vigor,” Latimer said.

“We will not let the blessings of free speech and free thought be used to advance lies and conspiracies designed to soften the climate of objective truth so that violence may achieve what cannot be achieved at the ballot box. This administration will fight to protect democracy, the rule of law and the right of the will of the majority of the people to be followed and not subverted by any angry minority willing to end democracy with force of arms and violence.”

Latimer expressed a belief that 2022 will see a return to normalcy as the pandemic subsides.

“That normalcy will not come by wishing it so or worse by pretending that the pandemic isn’t serious. We have tools.

We must use them sufficiently to get ahead of the infection.

Only then can be breathe a sigh of relief that we’re through this.

I believe we will see real progress by early spring if we stay the course of self-discipline and rational behavior.”

The inaugural program concluded with prayers by Imam Shaffieq Chace from the Westchester Muslim Center and Rev. Timothy Dalton of the First Baptist Church of White Plains.

Verplanck Quarry— coordinated fashion so that all three projects are moving forward and are complementary,” Richard H. Becker, the Cortlandt supervisor, said. “I see this is as a year ‘round facility and for residents of Verplanck I want them to be able to walk into this and have a park-like feeling … have a drink at the cidery, or to go to an art gallery, or to swim during the warmer months.”

Michael Presiosi, director of Cortlandt’s Department of Technical Servics, explained that gathering community input is an important part of the plannng process at the moment.

“We want to better prepare and plan the site. We don’t want to create multiple parking lots if there can be shared parking, shared infrastructure,” Presiosi said.

“There's more legwork that needs to be done. Right now we have three different developers. We want to start to pull them together and start to pull public input as well.”

The proposal for an adventure sports park comes from Brownstone Exploration and Discovery Park, which is located in Portland, Connecticut. Sean Hayes, president and CEO of Brownstone, said that

they currently are operating at a quarry that had been vacant for over 100 years in Portland. He described their plan for the quarry in Verplanck as being akin to recreating an old-time swimming hole with modern attractions. These would include: swimming; snorkeling; cliff jumping; wakeboarding; rope swings; scuba diving; rock climbing; kayaking; and zip lining.

“It's a year 'round adventure and sports park but primarily it is a summer operation,” Hayes said. “The master plan is to recreate a similar model as Brownstone, and that is a family-oriented sports park. The core of this business is school groups, parks and recreation, coming with their camps as a day trip destination. A family of four can afford to come into this park with no additional cost than the entrance fee because they can bring their own food and drink.

Obnvuiously, we're checking — no alcohol allowed in the park.”

Hayes estimated that it would cost about $2 million to build the sports park.

Hayes said there would be a walk-up restaurant and shopping destination that would service both customers in and out of

the park and would operate for three seasons of the year. He envisioned there being two outdoor dining patios, a new building for restrooms and a 55-car restaurant parking lot. He estimated the development cost of the restaurant and retail area as $2 million.

Hayes estimated that by the fifth year of operation there would be 73 full-time employees and 188 seasonal employees.

The indoor sports complex known as Cortlandt Pitch was proposed by NY Indoor Sports Inc., headed by Martin Russo, an attorney and Cortlandt resident. It’s estimated the facility would cost at least $15 million to construct. Russo said it would be “astate of the art indoor multi-sport facility, safe turf, which gives additional opportunities to the town's children, adults and seniors.”

Russo said that an indoor sports facility is needed in the area.

“The local climate in Cortlandt makes it impossible to play outdoors from mid-November to May,” Russo said. “With climate change I don’t know what’s going to happen. Most of the fields are too wet. They’re not sustainable.”

The proposed facility would have a field-length balcony on the second floor with stadium style seating for spectators.

There would be party rooms, coaching and training offices. A food service area would offer items such as soups, salads, sandwiches and pizza slices.

Christine Sisler, founder and CEO of Merchant's Daughter Ciderworks in Purdys, said that the company would like to build a production facility and taproom at the quarry. She said that she and her associates, Amy Wirtanen, who is the firm’s chief marketing officer, and Dan O’Brien, who is the chief cider maker, were with PepsiCoand collectively have more than 70 years of experience making beverages.

“We know how to get liquid into a bottle and we have gone from soda and water and wine to now making cider,” Sisler said. “We are not going to be pressing apples on-site.

We are going to be brining in juice from the orchards and growers we work with so you would not have a pressing facility and there would not be huge columns where we are doing the distillation. It is a very clean process; it also is very seasonal. We are using only New York state apples.”

places to shop and eat around town.

The app seeks to provide users with one-stop shopping for information about the city, things to do and places to eat, and even provides helpful links to the reservation and delivery ordering systems for some of Norwalk’s most popular restaurants. It is the first “Best of Local” app launched by Best of Ventures Inc., part of MaxEx Public Relations, a local firm dedicated to representing food and hospitality businesses which ran the city’s promotional magazine Norwalk Now from 2017

to 2020. It will soon be joined by Best of Apps for Delray Beach, Florida, and Austin, Texas, as well as nearby Greenwich and Fairfield.

"We see the mobile app as the next incarnation of what we started four years ago. It's a great vehicle that will evolve with the city, "said Linda Kavanagh, owner of MaxEx Public Relations. "Its functionality appeals to the consumer. The platform is a great connector for businesses. And the city of Norwalk is encapsulated within a single app."

“Prior to Covid and these online tools, frequently the loudest voices were the ones that were heard,” Kenny said. “Those were the people who had the time to go to public meetings. But more recently moving online has enabled us to attract a younger audience and a busier audience who may not have had the time to attend in-person meetings. It also allows people to share the link to other interested parties instead of just saying, ‘Oh I attended this meeting, you missed it.’”

The survey was online until the end of December, but Kenny said the tool has proven useful and accessible enough that that the city will likely make use of it again for public input about future development.

And other parts of city government may also make use of it, including the Norwalk Transit District which is working on its own study using the program.

Social Pinpoint was first launched in the U.S. in 2018 and grew out of a project started by Australian developers in 2011. Melissa Hepburn, Social Pinpoint’s digital engagement specialist, indicated that Norwalk’s findings were common among other organizations that use the tool, including major cities like San Diego, Oakland and Milwaukee, as well as a number of smaller communities closer in size to Norwalk.

“Accessibility is at the heart of everything we do,” Hepburn added. “So, we already meet all accessibility standards but we’re trying to exceed them and help our customers do the same.”

BRIEFS States seek action on SALT limits

New York, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to take action that could kill the federal tax change made under the Trump Administration that put a limit on the deductibility of state and local taxes (SALT).

A Jan. 3 petition asks the Supreme Court to review a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit made in October that upheld a lower court’s rejection of a lawsuit that the states had filed. The lawsuit argued that the SALT cap was a politically motivated bid by the former federal administration to interfere with the policy choices of predominantly Democratic states.

The new filing specifically asks the Supreme Court to decide “whether Congress’s imposition of a $10,000 cap on the SALT deduction violates Article I, Section 8 and the Tenth and Sixteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution.”

The states argue, in part: “As Congress itself recognized for over 150 years, a deduction for all or nearly all state and local income and property taxes is nec-

Compiled by Peter Katz essary to avoid federal intrusion on state sovereign taxing authority and policies.

And the $10,000 cap is also unconstitutionally coercive because it was openly targeted at a subset of politically disfavored states (including petitioners) with the goal of forcing those states to adopt different taxation and spending policies. Congress’s tax power, while broad, does not authorize such compulsion.”

The lawsuit upon which the Court of Appeals had ruled argued that the new SALT deduction cap interfered with states’ rights to make their own financial decisions and that it will disproportionally harm taxpayers in certain high-taxed states that happen to be controlled by Democrats.

New York Attorney General Letitia James and Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a joint statement announcing the Supreme Court filing.

“We filed this lawsuit to protect millions of New Yorkers from this harmful, misguided, and blatantly politic attack,” James said.

Hochul said, “The SALT deduction cap is nothing less than double taxation on New Yorkers. Repealing the SALT cap would not only put more money into the pockets of New York families, it would deliver a much-needed boost to New York’s economy.”

Trump family seeks to quash subpoenas in AG James' probe A court has been asked to block subpoenas issued by New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ Office that would require Donald Trump’s children Ivanka and Donald Jr. to produce documents and testify along with their father in the on-going investigation into Trump real estate holdings.

The motion to quash the subpoenas was filed late Jan. 3. A New York State Supreme Court document filed with the New York County Clerk earlier in the day revealed that the subpoenas had been issued.

Trump’s Seven Springs Estate in Westchester is among the properties included in the investigation currently underway

by James’ office into possible tax, bank and insurance fraud surrounding the valuations placed on Trump’s properties and other matters.

James released the following statement after the motion on behalf of Donald J. Trump, Donald J. Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump had been filed to quash the subpoenas: “For more than two years, members of the Trump family and the Trump Organization have continually sought to delay and impede

our investigation into Donald Trump and the Trump Organization, but despite their names, they must play by the same rules as everyone else. These delay tactics will not stop us from following the facts or the law, which is why we will be asking the court to compel Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump to testify with our office under oath. Our investigation will continue undeterred.”

Trump’s Seven Springs Estate in Westchester is among the properties included in the investigation.

The document that revealed the existence of the subpoenas was a stipulation and proposed court order in which James’ office and Attorney Ronald P. Fischetti and Attorney Alan S. Futerfas agreed to certain facts and procedures. Fischetti represents Donald J. Trump and Futerfas represents Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. The stipulation specified the procedure under which the Trumps could contest the subpoenas in an effort to avoid having to testify and produce documents.

Judge Arthur Engoron signed-off on the stipulation, making it an order of the court.

Among other things, it specified the timeline for the Trump side to make motions to quash the subpoenas and then gave the attorney general up to 14 days to file its opposition.

Shelton's Jolene and David Telesco bring a holistic approach to fitness training

BY PHIL HALL Phall@westfairinc.com

O

ne year ago, Jolene and David Telesco opened Fit Club, a cardio fitness studio based within a mixed-use building in Shelton. And it seemed like the perfect location for the business — until the studio hosted its first kickboxing class.

“Five minutes into the class, I get a call from the landlord and he was like, 'What are you doing down there?'” Jolene recalled “We had knocked all the pictures off of the walls upstairs.”

Luckily for the couple, they also operated a Pilates studio in Shelton called The Pilates Barre in a space that did not include upstairs residences. The Telescos switched the locations for their studios while simultaneously running Anything Goes Fitness, their first business which opened in October 2015.

Jolene stated the couple’s journey into entrepreneurship came from her own frustration within the local fitness industry.

“I was a manager for a local big box gym and then became a trainer there,” she said.

“I decided that I really wanted to do something more personal and private for clients who needed to be able to move better and feel healthy. And so, David and I decided that we were going to do this crazy thing called opening a business.”

David Telesco did not come from the fitness industry — he was a shop foreman at First Transit in Shelton, where he serviced transportation fleets.

“I did not have anything to do besides having a passion with fitness,” he said. “And I had to learn the entire industry. I am now certified in several different modalities of nutrition and in facilitated stretching, and I'm also a certified personal trainer and life coach.”

In switching out the two studios, David also doubled as a moving man.

Jolene and David Telesco.

“It was a ton of fun moving 10 100pound boxing bags down the stairs,” he laughed.

Jolene defined the couple’s fitness brand as “community-based health, wellness and nutrition.” Most of their clients are within Shelton and the surrounding towns, although they also attract clients from as far away as Fairfield, Westport and Greenwich “Most of our clients are individuals that don't want to go to a large gym,” Jolene explained, noting that many of the Telescos’ clients are “immune-compromised,

immune-deficient, injured post-surgical people who just need to move their bodies differently in order to stay active without pain.”

By keeping their client work to small classes and one-on-one training, the Telescos have encouraged a sense of trust that has extended beyond their studios.

“We know our clients, our clients know us and they feel very comfortable,” Jolene said. “We have a very good relationship with the medical field — we've partnered with a nutritionist, chiropractors and doc-

the initial investments were in technology and compliance, and we've brought on additional team members to from larger financial institutions that have the experience and the capabilities to really build a best-in-class, technology-base platform for all of our core systems as well as our online banking and mobile technology.

Tully: I think also they recognized we were not an SBA lender at the time, and we had to create a way to take care of our clients who were looking for PPP loans.

And we were able to do and were able to save a bunch of jobs in the process.

One of the big stories that occurred financially during the course of 2021 involved cryptocurrency. What are your thoughts about that market, and do you have clients that are asking you a lot of questions about investing in Bitcoin and other digital assets?

Tully: Crypto is an interesting asset class and we're all still trying to understand it. We don't believe it's going away.

But the regulators are still coming up with guidance on it, so we've taken a very cautious approach as to how to work with clients that are interested in in crypto.

tors that refer us clients and we refer them clients. So, if you were my client and you do a weekend warrior thing and suddenly your arm doesn't work, I know where to send you to get the care you need.”

Jolene added that the couple have become prominent within Shelton to the point that “our kids joke they can't go anywhere in town because everybody knows us.” However, when the Covid-19 pandemic took root, the Telescos quickly pivoted from in-person to virtual training.

“When the pandemic happened, we closed on March 16, which was a Monday,” David said. “On Tuesday, my wife started doing FaceTime calls with her clients. By Wednesday. I started with my clients. By the following week, about 80% of our clients were back on-board virtual training with us, and we trained like that for about three months through the quarantines.

“The clients that did not train,” he continud, “I'd say about 70% of them, donated their monthly membership to keep us open in business, with no expectation to get those services back. And that's the type of rapport that we build with these people.”

The Telescos recently started an internship program and they have their first intern who is using the experience as a path towards industry certification. Looking ahead into 2022, Jolene is predicting a “year of onward, steady growth, having a good growing plan and partnering with some good peers to take us to the next level.”

Jolene is also planning to “enact our long-long-term retirement plan where we start to bring on trainers that we train in our style and our modality” while the couple spend less time working and more time with their family.

“It’s 12:30 at night on a Saturday and we're still talking about work,” said David, with a smile.

“Well, that's because we’re super-married,” Jolene responded. “So, we go home and the business goes home with us.”

Former employees accuse West Point athletics of discrimination against older women

BY BILL HELZEL

were more qualified for the position but apparently were not considered for it.

They accused the athletic association of age and sex discrimination and retaliation for complaining under federal and state civil rights laws.

They are demanding reinstatement, back pay and monetary damages.

They are represented by Manhattan attorney Jason L. Solotaroff.

T

wo women who held administrative positions at West Point claim they were fired because of their age

and sex.

Laura Dayton and Susan Herr accused the Army West Point Athletic Association of discrimination in a Dec. 22 complaint filed in U.S. District Court, White Plains.

"In recent years," the women charged, athletic department managers "have exhibited marked preference for younger and male employees in making employment decisions."

Mikhail Shah, the athletic association's attorney, said he cannot comment on the allegations while the case is active.

The Army West Point Athletic Association is a nonprofit organization that has overseen the military academy's intercollegiate sports program since 2015.

Dayton, 57, of Newburgh, was hired as an athletic department administrative assistant in 1985 and initially worked with the football team, according to the complaint. Herr, 65, of Wurtsboro, was hired in 2006 to work in the gift shop and eventually became an administrative assistant for the cadet-athletes meal program.

They claim that an athletic department official, who is not named as a defendant, "took opportunities away from older female employees ... and gave those opportunities to younger male employees."

In 2018, for instance, the official hired a man in his late 20s and allegedly had Herr train him. About a year later he was promoted to a supervisory position over Dayton, Herr and other women. The position was not posted, the complaint states, and the women were not given an opportunity to apply for the job.

After the women complained in December 2019 that the promotion appeared to be discriminatory, an athletic department official allegedly dismissed their concerns and told them that if they did not like working there they could quit and they would be quickly replaced.

Less than a year later, in November 2020, Dayton, Herr and three other women were fired, purportedly because of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic.

No men were fired, according to the complaint. All five women were the oldest employees who held their job titles, four were over age 50 and three had complained about discrimination.

Around the same time, the athletic association hired a woman in her 20s as an assistant director of operations and events. Dayton and Herr claim that they

Andrea Gartner takes on the executive director role at the Norwalk River Valley Trail

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

O

n Jan. 3, Andrea Gartner became the executive director of the Norwalk River Valley Trail (NRVT), a nonprofit dedicated to the creation of a 30-mile, multi-use, soft surface trail running from Calf Pasture Beach in Norwalk to Rogers Park in Danbury.

The NRVT makes use of land acquired by the Connecticut Department of Transportation in anticipation of the proposed US 7 Expressway or “Super 7.” The highway stalled out after decades of opposition, environmental studies, and court cases. Now, the NRVT has helped turn sections of the thousands of acres originally planned for an expressway into a path for pedestrians.

Gartner brings extensive experience in volunteering and public leadership roles to the table. She previously served as the president of The Ridgefield Playhouse and also served as the executive director of CityCenter Danbury. She has also held numerous appointments to local volunteer organizations and became involved in Danbury politics, including a term on the

city’s zoning commission.

“One thing I mentioned when I reached out to apply for the job is that I spent my summers in the Black Forest in Germany, where my father was from,” Gartner said. “There is a cultural phenomenon in Germany called ‘wandern.’ It incorporates getting together with friends and getting together with families. You sort of meet up at a place and you take the day and basically wander from point to point, but there’s connections to streetcars so you can get to the next place.”

The mission of the NRVT is to facilitate a similar experience, connecting public transit stops with walkable sections of trail, improving carless mobility along the congested Route 7 corridor.

Much of Gartner’s attention is focused on fundraising and outreach efforts. The NRVT website claims that every $250 donation builds one more foot of trail, a price that includes some of the major construction necessary to attain the goal of an entirely wheelchair accessible pathway which will need to pass through steep sections of Ridgefield and swampy regions in Wilton. Outreach to businesses will be a critical component of making

“I really think this will have that synergy where you build a true public-private partnership,” Gartner said. “That’s an important facet of this project, which moving forward will be something of such great value to the community that has staying power.”

Gartner added that numerous businesses along the corridor stand to benefit from the increased foot traffic that the trail can bring to areas that are presently car dependent.

Charlie Taney, president of the orga-

nization and former acting executive director, said he is excited to welcome Gartner onboard. He praised her credentials and attitude, and noted that the trail has something to offer almost everybody, particularly after the emergence of Covid-19.

“We have an infrared counter out on the trail,” Taney said. “We had a 250% increase in traffic on the trail since the pandemic.

People are desperate for a place to get out and enjoy themselves. And the trails are the perfect outlet for that.”

Fairfield's Circle Diner finds new savings in energy efficiency

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN

disturb customers.”

Chaudhry said that United Illuminating uses a mix of local contractors and their own employees to perform upgrades like those at the diner. And thanks to subsidies available to businesses performing these upgrades, the-outof-pocket costs for business owners is often minimal.

“The project itself was about $24,000,” Chaudhry said. “We covered the bulk of the cost and found other incentives to apply for, and that came close to $18,000.”

For $6,000 out of pocket, the diner will be able to realize annual savings of around $4,160 annually.

The Circle Diner was just one of 265 small businesses in Connecticut to take advantage of the program offered by United Illuminating in the past year, taking advantage of roughly $7 million in incentives. Chaudry encouraged small business owners who are customers of United Illuminating or Eversource to visit the Energize CT website to see the new incentives being made available in 2022.

T

he Circle Diner along the Post Road in Fairfield serves breakfast, lunch and dinner during a business day that can last up to 15 hours. As the lights need to stay on throughout the day, a considerable amount of the diner’s overhead is literally overhead.

The installation of new LED lights along with improvements to the diner’s dishwashers, refrigerators and aerator systems was completed in December

by United Illuminating, a subsidiary of Avangrid, with funding via a rebate from the Energize CT. According to Avangrid Senior Conservation and Load Management Manager Hammad Chaudhry, by simply switching to LED lighting the diner has reduced its power consumption by as much as 46,000 kilowatt-hours a year.

“They had some very old lighting,” Chaudhry explained. “The challenge was high bills and maintenance costs. The older bulbs burn out rather quickly. We changed them to energy star LED bulbs which is an extremely efficient technology.”

The energy savings and environmental impact of the simple switch was equivalent to permanently taking seven vehicles off the roads, and the impact on the bottom line is even starker: The electricity savings alone at the current United Illuminating business rate of 9.91¢ per kWh amount to $346.85 per month, before factoring in needing fewer bulbs and spending less time replacing them.

Gus Tsilfides, co-owner of the Circle Diner for 18 years, noticed more than just a smaller electric bill.

“The results are positive from my perspective,” he said. “The lighting is softer and brighter.”

Tsifilides said he has even had comments from customers who appreciate the new lighting system’s more appealing tone, which is less likely to unexpectedly go out and cast a corner of the diner into shadow. The installation was also comparatively painless.

“It was done largely without disruption of the business,” he said. “They worked around our schedule at the times when business was slower and wouldn’t

HUDSON VALLEY Beer World adds its own brewery to offerings with Aspire Brewing in Middletown

BY BRIDGET MCCUSKER bmccusker@westfairinc.com

I

n the late 1990s, Sonny Patel owned a gas station business. After he began selling beer at the gas station’s store, another business owner in the area, who had owned a beer store that had been in the area since 1964, approached him.

“He contacted me and said, ‘I'm buying your business or you’re going to buy my business.’ And we made a deal. I ended up buying his business, and that was my first beer store or beer beverage business, in 1999.”

Back then, Patel didn’t even drink beer.

But he eventually warmed up to it. A group of friends who frequented the Monticello bar The Nugget to share beer with each other would come to Patel’s store with the empty cans or bottles afterward and ask Patel to get the unique varieties of beer for the shop.

“At that point, one of the customers that was a friend, he comes in one day and says ‘Sonny, have you ever tried this beer?’ Patel said. “And I said, ‘No, I don't drink.’ He says, ‘I want to buy this beer for you. I want you to try it.’ I tried it. I loved it. I couldn't wait until he came in next time so I can ask him what to try next. That's how it got into my mind, and I became more passionate about bringing thousands and thousands of different beers in our store. And that's when the first Beer World was born.”

Patel became passionate about bringing a huge variety of beer to his stores, even those that other beverage center owners feared wouldn’t sell well and therefore wouldn’t carry. Today, Beer World boasts a variety of over 4,000 unique varieties of beer, ranging from average $1 cans to almost $300 for a single can for high-quality, extremely rare beers. Beer World locations now have anywhere from 16 to 24 beers on tap for customers to sample in-store, along with crowlers and growlers.

On a trip to Canada, Patel drew inspiration from the Beer Store, a beer, wine and cider seller with hundreds of retail stores and government-owned retail locations, established in 1927.

“I learned a little bit from there and made our own concept, in a way, to take it to next level from what they had done. And that's how we started working on Beer World projects.”

Beer World now has 13 locations around the Hudson Valley and grows by roughly one or two stores every year, according to Patel. Currently, a new Beer World is in the works in Chester, along with one near the Woodbury Common Premium Outlets.

Despite the universal appeal of beer, Patel focuses on developing the brand further within the Hudson Valley, and also emphasizes the promotion of local breweries, of which there are many locally.

“Hudson Valley breweries are our number one priority to support, and then we support all New York breweries,” Patel said.

“And then we, of course, we take all over the country as well, and other countries, but our main focus is to really promote a lot of local Hudson Valley breweries.”

Beer World’s most exciting new project, though, is the new Aspire Brewing in the works in Middletown. Recently, the project received a $500,000 grant from New York’s Empire State Development for the construction of the new brewery at 600 N. Galleria Drive.

The 30,000-square-foot establishment WCBJ

will feature 8,000 square feet of manufacturing space. Patel and Alex Kemp, chief operating officer for Aspire Brewing who also serves as head of finance for the Orange County Partnership, have partnered for the brewery.

Along with a traditional tap room that will also serve food, the brewery will feature a unique concept: a self-serve style beer hall with about 40 different taps of beer, wine, cider and seltzer. There, customers can use their cards to scan at each tap for a flight-style serving or even an entire pint.

“We figured we have a space large enough, so why not try and create two separate atmospheres? Let's say I just like the traditional style where I come in and grab a beer, I grab some food and I just sit down and relax with my family. Or if I'm

more the person that likes to try a bunch of things, this is the easiest way where you can try 40 different ciders, seltzers, beers, anything that you want to try. It's very popular these days, but when you're serving beer, it becomes very time-consuming to do 70 different flights for consumers. You get a big backup. So the do-it-yourself was I think a way that will work well to just provide this experience that's very different from any location in the Hudson valley, if not for all of New York.”

The space will also include an indoor game room, outdoor seating area and a conference room and events space that people will be able to rent out for private events.

Kemp said that demolition for the site officially started during the last week of December, and they hope to be open by the end of the summer.

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO EMPLOYEES DURING COVID-19 RECOVERY You need to make sure that they’re healthy and you need to make sure that there’s a sense that you as an employer have their best interests at heart.

However, you will find there are circumstances with the potential for employer liability. There are quite a few State, Federal and NYC employment laws you need to be very sensitive to in terms of whether you can compel somebody to come to work…”

Good Things GOING BEYOND HEALTH CARE

MANAGEMENT CHANGES AT MEDIA FIRM Connoisseur Media in Westport recently announced that Michael O. Driscoll, co-founder and executive vice president and chief financial officer of the company, has stepped down as CFO, and Oliver Price has been named senior vice president and CFO. Driscoll had been the CFO of the company since July 2004 and worked with Jeffrey D. Warshaw, CEO and co-founder for more than 25 years.

Since 1996, when he joined Connoisseur, Driscoll worked hand in hand with Warshaw in building the company over the last 17 years. He remains at Connoisseur as executive vice president, but will be stepping back from day-to-day management duties. He said, “I have really enjoyed the nuts and bolts of helping build a company and focused on building teams, working on processes and I am happy to still be a part of the company and also an

investor in it and want to watch things grow….”

Price came to Connoisseur in 2012, and was most recently vice president of finance and accounting. He has worked with Warshaw and Driscoll for more than nine years and is in in charge of the financial planning, budgeting and accounting functions.

CENTER AGING NO MORE The Friends of the Greenwich Senior Center (FGSC) and the Greenwich Commission on Aging have a lot to celebrate in this new year. With the help of state representative and advocate Steve Meskers, the FGSC was awarded a $300,000 grant toward renovations of its building.

This grant leaves a gap of only $220,000 to complete an all-new senior center facility. The FGSC was created to fundraise for the construction of an all-new building or renovation of the existing facility, and to support and/or augment programs that directly benefit the fast-growing segment
