No rhetoric about trade war at Yonkers ceremony CHINESE OFFICIALS JOIN IN CELEBRATING THE LATEST WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT

W

hile President Donald Trump, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and others in the administration ramped up the rhetoric and tariffs in the trade war with China on May 16, there was plenty of Sino-American friendship on display in

Yonkers. The international tensions failed to have traction on the Yonkers waterfront as representatives of China Construction America (CCA) joined Yonkers city officials for a ribbon-cutting at CCA’s River Club at Hudson Park. Strategic Capital, the investment arm of CCA, hosted the event.

Suite Talk Trudy Dujardin discusses the concept of ‘eco-elegance’

T

rudy Dujardin has been in the forefront of green and sustainable interior design for three decades, though she occasionally cringes when reminded of her longevity in this field.

“Books that are written about sustainable design and green interior design list me as a pioneer, which makes me sound like a dinosaur,” she said with a laugh.

Dujardin, who is a LEED Professional with a specialty in interior design and construction, has built her award-winning reputation as the head of Dujardin Design Associates Inc., with offices in Westport and Nantucket. Her 2014 book “Comfort Zone: Creating the Eco-Elegant Interior” is widely regarded as being among the finest works of that genre. Her latest venture is Dujardin Design Green Consulting, which focuses exclusively on this element of her professional passion.

In this edition of Suite Talk, Business Journal reporter Phil Hall visited with Dujardin at her Norwalk home to discuss her work in sustainable and green interior design.

How did you first get involved in sustainable and green design?

“In 1987, my former husband and I bought a piece of property on the harbor in Nantucket. My former husband was a severe asthmatic and the simple fluffing of a

pillow could send him into an asthma attack, so I had to learn what was causing all of this. I began doing a lot of research on the environmental impacts on health. With the property on the harbor, I vowed that I would do that project the right way.”

What was the market like back in the late 1980s for sustainable and green design?

“Back then, the products weren’t available. You couldn’t go to Home Depot and find a nontoxic product.

So, I had to hire the floor refinisher who had done Gracie Mansion because I heard about this man who created his own floor finish.

He came up and we created a stain that you could actually drink the product. But I had to source these people and bring them to the island.

“Also, in the midst of all of this — probably the mid to late 1990s — I developed a condition called multiple chemical sensitivity, and it took them a long time to figure out what was making me so sick. That was the result of too many years on construction sites and not having the sense to wear a mask. It took two years of chelation therapy — it’s almost like a chemotherapy — to flush out those chemicals from my body.

“So, after all of the research for building this house in Nantucket, I got to live in it and that’s where I

became well. I avoided construction sites where they were using medium-density fiberboards that were loaded with formaldehyde. And if they are painting with oil paints, I don’t go on the job sites anymore.”

Is it safe to say that our health is being impaired by the spaces we occupy?

“We’re in cubicles all of the time. We are either in a cubicle at work, or a car, or a house, or in a school, or in a doctor’s office, or in an airport terminal — we used to be in phone booths. The indoor air quality of those spaces should be supporting your health and well-being, and as a designer I think it is flawed and we flunked the test.”

But is it true that a green-focused interior design costs much more money?

“That’s a myth. Maybe back in 1987 it was. Now, you

can go to any hardware store and get no-VOC paints or lowVOC floor finishes.

“Also, I wrote the book ‘Comfort Zone’ because most people have a misguided perception that to have a healthy home it has to look like a Birkenstock sandal. They don’t know you can have beautiful high-end design, so I wrote that to educate them.

I wanted to get across the concept of eco-elegance.”

Are you mostly focused on residential or commercial design?

“I used to do commercial, but I love the personal interaction with the residential. And 99% of my clients become best friends. Especially when it is new construction or renovation, we’re with them for two-plus years.”

What are your residential clients looking for in your work?

“It’s a mixed bag. The younger ones that have kids come to me because they want the health aspect. The old guard mostly come for the design, because Dujardin Design has won so many awards for straight design work. And then I kind of, under the radar, educate them about the healthier products and how to select things.

“Think about it: the largest organ on our body is the skin, and in a home the largest surface area covers the ceiling, walls and floors. If you get those covered with no-VOC products, you are more than 50% of the way home. But you can’t just bring in a lot of lacquered furniture. The reason I have a lot of glass and steel furniture is because they’re inert — they don’t off-gas.”

Your home is beautifully furnished. What are the

eco-friendly elements of the furniture?

“The fabrics have no finish on them, no flame retardants or soil repellents, so they’re not embedded with chemicals.

They are silk, cotton, wool — natural fibers. And even with the stuffing, we were careful not to have foam.”

You also have a surplus amount of natural illumination coming in through the windows.

“We call it daylighting in LEED. Most people feel better when they have a lot of natural light. I used to work in an office cubicle and I never saw outside — and you don’t realize how it is eating away at your psyche, but it does and it brings you down. But the problem with daylighting is that you have to be careful with control of the heat and insulation in the winter. We have special glass in the windows for that.”

How can people get started on educating themselves about this subject?

“I just launched the new Green Consulting because so many people have said to me, ‘Trudy, I would like to work with you to make my house healthier.’ We can do an hour consultation or a half-day, or take on a big project and be on it for a year or two. But in the book ‘Comfort Zone,’ there are two pages called Green Resources and it took me 25 years to vet all of those resources.”

CT House passes wind-power procurement bill

The legislation — H.B.7156, An Act Concerning the Procurement of Energy Derived from Offshore Wind — requires the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to initiate a solicitation process for the

wind power procurement within 14 days of the bill’s passage. DEEP will also be mandated to set up a future schedule for procurements. DEEP and the Department of Economic and Community Development will be required to coordinate a process to determine which

selected wind power proposals will have the most positive impacts on Connecticut’s economic development. The bill will be referred to the state Senate.

Wind power is not part of Connecticut’s power resources. A partnership between

Eversource and Ørsted A/S of Denmark plans to bring 300MW of offshore wind power to Connecticut via the Revolution Wind project based within a federal lease site between Montauk and Martha’s Vineyard. Earlier this month, Gov. Ned Lamont

announced a partnership with the state, the Connecticut Port Authority, the terminal operator Gateway and Eversource and Ørsted to create an offshore wind port facility at New London’s State Pier. That plan is contingent upon receiving federal and state permits.

Critics claim Trump golf courses would benefit from killing Obama water rule

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

proposal by the Trump administration to relax a Clean Water Act rule could benefit the president, two nonprofit groups argue in a regulatory filing.

The organizations claim that 12 golf courses owned by the Trump Organization — including clubs in Briarcliff Manor and Hopewell Junction — would gain from Trump’s proposal to repeal and replace an Obama-era rule.

“The Trump Organization and President Trump would be direct beneficiaries of this proposal,” Raritan Headwaters Association of Gladstone, New Jersey, and Free Speech for People of

Newton, Massachusetts, state in a letter opposing a new rule. They claim the proposed rule is a “potential violation of the U.S. Constitution’s domestic emoluments clause.”

The Obama administration enacted a rule in 2015 that was meant to clarify the definition of “waters” that can be federally regulated under the Clean Water Act of 1972.

The original law requires factories, power plants, farms, new housing developments, golf courses or anyone who discharges pollution into the “waters of the United States” to get a federal permit.

The rules are clear for major bodies of water and navigable waterways, but less clear with small wetlands or places that dry up seasonally.

The Obama rule sought

The Trump National Golf Club Westchester.

to identify aquatic ecosystems that should be protected, such as wetlands and ponds in or near the floodplains of larger waterways.

It exempted isolated waters, such as puddles, ditches, irrigation systems and artificial ponds for livestock watering.

But rather than clarify, some farm and industry

groups argued, the rule was a “power grab” that expanded federal control and imposed more compliance costs.

Trump campaigned against the Obama rule.

His first Environmental Protection Agency administrator, Scott Pruitt, suspended implementation. In 2017, the president issued an executive order directing the EPA to

replace the rule.

Trump’s proposed rule — titled, in part, as Restoring the Rule of Law, Federalism and Economic Growth — would exempt additional wetlands.

Trump National Golf Club Hudson Valley, Trump National Golf Club Westchester and 10 more Trump-branded golf courses made about $208 million in revenue, according to the president’s 2017 financial disclosure form.

The emoluments clause prohibits a president from accepting any outside compensation. The nonprofit organizations want rule makers to interpret the clause broadly. They cite a court ruling that states that the term “emolument” should “embrace and ban … profit, gain or advantage offered to a public official in

his private capacity.”

A coalition of six organizations that represent golf course architects, builders, managers, superintendents, clubs and owners see the issue differently.

Golf course water features are designed to store storm runoff and provide water for irrigation. The Obama rule, the trade associations argue, would apply to almost all golf course water bodies and increase the costs of permitting, monitoring and mitigating pollution.

More than 600,000 public comments have been submitted to the EPA. The comment period closed last month. The final rule could be published in September.

Implementation could take years if there are legal challenges.

In Court OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma hit with five more state lawsuits

BY PAUL SCHOTT

F

ive states announced on May 16 that they were suing OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma and co-owner and former CEO and President Richard Sackler, piling more pressure on a company already faced with more than 1,000 similar lawsuits for allegedly fueling the opioid crisis with deceptive marketing of its pain drugs.

The attorneys general of Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, West Virginia and Wisconsin are separately filing their complaints, which accuse the company of deliberately misrepresenting the risks and benefits of OxyContin, its top seller. More than 40 states, including Connecticut, have sued the firm, which prosecutors argue shares much of the blame for exacerbating an epidemic of opioid abuse that has seen some 218,000 Americans die from overdoses related to prescription opioids since 1999.

“Purdue Pharma is responsible for a public health crisis that has profoundly affected patients, their families, our communities and our health care system,” Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller said in a statement. “The company and its executives were recklessly indifferent to the impact of their actions, despite ever-mounting evidence that their deceptions were resulting in an epidemic of addiction and death.”

In a statement, Purdue denied the allegations.

“These complaints are part of a continuing effort to try these cases in the court of public opinion rather than the justice system,” the statement said. “The states cannot link the conduct alleged to the harm described, and so they have invented stunningly overbroad legal theories, which if adopted by courts, will undermine the bedrock legal principle of causation.”

A message left for a spokesperson of Richard Sackler was not immediately returned.

For West Virginia, the lawsuit follows a $10 million settlement, in 2004, of a lawsuit with similar allegations.

Recent weeks have marked

4

MAY 27, 2019

one of the busiest periods in the past couple of years for Purduerelated litigation.

On May 14, Pennsylvania filed a similar lawsuit.

Including the Keystone State, eight of the 10 most populous states have sued Purdue for alleged marketing fraud.

Illinois and Georgia sued earlier this year. New York originally sued last August and filed an expanded complaint in March. Florida, Texas and North Carolina sued last year.

Ohio filed its lawsuit in 2017.

California, the most populous state, has not filed a complaint.

On May 10, a District Court judge in North Dakota dismissed that state’s lawsuit, which was filed last year.

“Purdue cannot control how doctors prescribe its products, and it certainly cannot control how individual patients use and respond to its products, regardless of any warning or instruction Purdue may give,” Judge James Hill wrote in his decision.

The state plans to appeal the decision, said North Dakota Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem.

Richard Sackler, one of eight Sackler family members named in Connecticut’s lawsuit, has emerged as a controversial figure in the litigation.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong released an unredacted version of the complaint, which he said showed “shocking and offensive” emails from 2001 that Richard Sackler exchanged with an unnamed acquaintance.

At the time, he was about halfway through a four-year stint as Purdue’s CEO and president.

In one correspondence, the acquaintance said that “abusers die; well, that is the choice they made.

I doubt a single one didn’t know of the risks.”

Richard Sackler responded that “abusers aren’t victims; they are the victimizers.”

Representatives of Richard Sackler argue that those messages do not reflect his current views of the opioid crisis.

He elaborated on the 2001

emails — saying that he “probably was quite emotional” when he wrote them — according to excerpts from a court deposition he gave in March.

“I’ve gotten a lot more information about addiction, in general ... or opioid addiction, in particular, and, of course, my views have evolved and changed,” Richard Sackler said in the deposition. “At that time, I was very concerned that the balance that had been struck by the FDA between the benefits and risks of strong opioids might be upset, perhaps with terrible consequence for patients and for doctors, who wanted to treat them.”

Richard Sackler gave the deposition for a group of “Multidistrict Litigation” cases, consolidated in a federal court in Cleveland, involving about 1,700 cities and counties across the country that have sued Purdue and other opi-

oid makers.

None of the pending cases has gone to trial, leaving open the possibility of more individual or multistate settlements.

In its largest settlement of the past 10 years, Purdue agreed in March to a $270 million settlement of Oklahoma’s lawsuit. About $200 million — including $75 million donated by the Sacklers — would help establish the National Center for Addiction Studies and Treatment at Oklahoma State University’s campus in Tulsa.

An attorney for four of the Sackler defendants said in an interview that they want to reach a “global settlement” with the plaintiffs.

Tong has said that he plans to take Connecticut’s case to trial.

Bronxville Montessori claims U.S. Immigration Services arbitrarily denied teacher’s visa

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

B

ronxville Montessori School and a teacher have sued U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for refusing to extend the teacher’s H-1B visa.

Mopelola Anthonia Obasa had been granted the visa to teach at the school for three years. Now, immigration authorities say, she no longer qualifies.

“Ms. Obasa has no lawful status to live or work in the United States” without the visa, the complaint, filed May 8 in federal court in White Plains, states. “She and her son are faced with the prospect of having to uproot the lives they have built here and face an uncertain future in Nigeria.”

Bronxville Montessori operates a preschool at West Center Congregational Church on Pondfield Road in the Cedar Knolls neighborhood of Yonkers.

The school is organized around Montessori’s discovery model in which children learn by working with materials, rather than by direct instruction, and teachers are trained to observe children closely so as to recognize their individual characteristics, tendencies and talents.

Bronxville Montessori petitioned the government in 2015 for an H-1B visa to allow Obasa to work there for three years.

Last year, the school petitioned for a threeyear extension and the government denied the request.

The H-1B program is designed to enable employers to temporarily fill jobs in specialty occupations with high-skilled foreign workers, typically in engineering, computer programming, health care and education.

An applicant must satisfy at least one of four criteria. The position requires a bachelor’s degree or higher. The work is so complex or unique that it can only be performed by someone with a degree. The employer normally requires a degree for the job. And the specific duties are so specialized that a degree is necessary.

Obasa was hired as a head teacher, a position for which Bronxville Montessori requires a bachelor’s degree. New York state also requires at least a bachelor’s degree for preschool teachers, according to the complaint.

Obasa was awarded a master’s degree in education from Long Island University in 2014, and she is certified by New York in early child education.

But the immigration agency concluded that a bachelor’s degree is not a minimum requirement for preschool teachers, citing language in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Outlook Handbook that states that training requirements for the position vary.

The agency misread the manual, the school

The Children’s Village Jeremy Kohomban 7.375” w x 7.125” h 1-11-19 Bronxville Montessori

claims and ignored New York’s requirements.

The government also said that many advertised positions do not specify a degree. But a

survey of 19 job advertisements, according to the complaint, showed that 14 positions did specify a degree and the remaining five merely

omitted mention of a degree.

The government also allegedly dismissed Bronxville Montessori’s requirement for a degree, rendering “this criterion meaningless.”

The school accuses the immigration agency of making a decision that is “arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law,” in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. The school is asking the court to declare that the government abused its discretion and to compel it to approve the visa extension, allowing Obasa to continue working until September 2021.

Obasa and the school are represented by attorneys Richard B. Solomon of Pleasantville and Daniel A. Seff of Burlington, Vermont.

Ambulatory Care Pavilion opening at Westchester Medical Center

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

“T

his opens up a whole spectrum of services that we either have not been able to deliver the way they need to be delivered in 2019, or improve the services that we’re delivering,” Michael D. Israel, president and CEO of WMCHealth, told the Business Journal during a May 16 preview tour of the new Ambulatory Care Pavilion on the Valhalla campus of the Westchester Medical Center (WMC). The facility represents a $230 million investment

by WMCHealth, which said it has been the largest health care construction project in Westchester since Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital opened at WMC in 2004. The building encompasses 280,000 square feet and comes with 250 new parking spaces, new landscaping, eight elevators and a lobby just over 24 feet in height.

“This building gives us operating rooms that do not conflict with what goes on in the main hospital,” Israel explained. On the first floor is the new home of WMCHealth’s advanced imaging and heart and vascular services. The ambulatory surgery center is on the second floor with eight operating rooms for general use and two devoted to cardiac catheterization. The two new cardiac catheterization laboratories dedicated to ambulatory patients bring to eight the total number of cath labs at the WMC campus.

There are 36 private holding spaces for patient use before and after procedures, a vascular interventional radiology lab and a transesophageal echocardiogram procedure room.

Floors three through eight are designated for a mix of medical practices and office space.

The first two floors of the building were being opened for the first patients May 20, with all eight floors expected to be in full use by the fall.

Among the high-tech medical equipment in the center, which was provided through an agreement WMCHealth has with Philips, is a new spectral detector-based computed tomography (CT) scanner. The machine reduces exposure, cuts testing time and produces highly detailed images for study. Dr. Zvi Lefkowitz, director of radiology at WMC, told the Business Journal, “It’s an absolute revolution and a new generation in CT scanning and we offer this not only here but also at the inpatient center, so we’re one of the few institutions in the country that has both an inpatient and now an outpatient spectral scanner.” The room housing the scanner has been designed for patient comfort and to relieve anxiety. It incorporates subdued lighting, overhead video screens and imag-

es of landscapes and animals projected on a wall. “(It’s) a whole new experience for the patient and from the physicians’ standpoint a whole new diagnostic capability,” Lefkowitz said.

Dr. Julio Panza, chief of cardiology at the Medical Center, said that for his specialty, “This building will serve as a platform for not only continuing the work that we’re doing, but also to expand our prevention and health promotion programs.

“There’s a shift of medicine from inpatient to outpatient and that includes procedures that traditionally only had been able to be performed in the inpatient setting. That includes cardiac catherization, interventional cardiology — procedures such as placing stents in patients who are ambulatory — and electrophysiology — the studies of the rhythm of the heart — placing of pacemakers and other devices.”

‘The pit’ is filled in Yonkers NEW BUILDING OFFERS RIVER VIEWS, EASY ACCESS TO THE TRAIN

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

“A

good, beautiful replacement for that pit, huh?” Michael Sabatino, majority leader on the Yonkers City Council, asked rhetorically as he joined with Mayor Mike Spano, other city officials, Randy Salvatore of RMS Companies and invited guests for a May 21 opening ceremony for Salvatore’s apartment building at 1077 Warburton Ave. The building, Stratus on Hudson, is on a site previously referred to as “the hole in the ground” as well as being called “the pit.”

Efforts to develop the site dating from the early 2000s were unsuccessful due to a variety of problems such as bankruptcy, foreclosure, landslides and lawsuits. “This had become iconic in the fact that everyone knew it as ‘the hole in the ground,’ ” Spano said. “But it was more than just ‘the hole in the ground.’ It was iconic in the sense that it was representative of broken promises of the past — the city’s inability to get out of its own way and the city’s inability to attract good, solid development in an area in a city that had so much promise.”

Salvatore, who is president and CEO of RMS and has been active in Connecticut development for more than two decades, told the Business Journal, “When I came over to the site for the first time and looked at the views across the river, I said, ‘this is a site we have to find a way to develop,’ and that was about a year and a half ago.”

RMS has amassed a portfolio of proper-

ties covering various Connecticut communities. Examples include Mayfair Square, a townhome community in Danbury; Simeon Village, rental apartments in Bethel; The Verano, The Moderne, The Blvd and 100

Prospect, luxury rental apartments in Stamford; and The Phoenix on Isaac, a condominium development in Norwalk. “We do a lot of hospitality projects,” Salvatore said.

on the Engineering News-Record (ENR) 2018 Top 400 Contractors list. ENR is a weekly trade publication. It placed CCA’s total revenue for the year at $1.574 billion.

CCA is a subsidiary of China State Construction Engineering Corp. Ltd., which operates in North America and South America.

Its headquarters is in Jersey City, New Jersey.

Its U.S. operations are mainly in East Coast and Gulf Coast states. It also has projects in the Caribbean and Latin America.

The River Club building is the fourth and final apartment structure in Strategic Capital’s Hudson Park development, covering 16 acres of the Yonkers waterfront. All four buildings have rental apartments.

Ning Yuan, CCA’s chairman and president and Strategic Capital’s chairman and CEO, said, “Hudson Park is CCA’s first development in Yonkers, but won’t be the last. I’m confident to say that we have built a one-of-a-kind property that brings a high level of luxury to the market.”

He said CCA was impressed with the growth taking place in Yonkers. “For over 30 years CCA has diligently been building New York, from

roads and bridges, to subways and transit centers, from schools and museums, to offices and skyscrapers. We are grateful for the opportunity and look forward to a bright future together.

“River Club presented us with a unique opportunity — the city of Yonkers is in the midst of a massive transformation and the building’s waterfront location enabled us to ensure unprecedented views and a less-than-

30-minute commute to midtown Manhattan,” he added.

Huang Ping, consul general of China in New York, attended the event. “This project further demonstrated that by cooperating together we can create a win-win result,” he said. “I think more and more companies are coming from China. I don’t know the exact number, but I can safely say there are several hundred companies

and the river are the Metro-North train tracks, with the Greystone station a short walk away. The building has nine floors and boasts covered parking, a fitness center, resident lounges, a dog spa, a roof deck and various home automation systems. Onebedroom apartments start at $2,500 per month. Two-bedroom, two-bath apartments start at $3,750 per month.

Salvatore said geographic expansion is on the horizon for his company. “We have a project in New Jersey that we’re going to be starting in the next few months and we’re looking up in the Massachusetts area and still are very bullish on Connecticut. We have a number of things in the works and under construction right now in Connecticut.” When asked for his reaction to his first development experience in Westchester, Salvatore said, “I’d love to continue to develop, whether it’s in Yonkers or other areas of Westchester.”

Salvatore said incentives offered by the Yonkers Industrial Development Agency (IDA) can make a difference in a project.

“All development in some way becomes a public-private partnership between the developer who’s investing money and the city that’s committing resources and other things, and I think Yonkers has got it right.”

As for the private side of financing, “I think financing is always available,” Salvatore told the Business Journal. “If you have a sound track record and if you do what you say you’re going to do, you maintain those financial relationships and the banks continue to lend as long as actually from China working, operating, in my consul district.

“CCA is one of them. CCA is one of the best Chinese companies. Not only have they been here for a long time, they have been doing lots of projects like this. I think the success of this project further demonstrates that we need to cooperate. By doing that we can further grow this good relationship between China and the U.S.” Hudson Park South, the first phase of the Hudson Park project, was completed in the spring of 2003 and was the first community to be developed on the Hudson River in Yonkers in more than 30 years.

The newest building is 240 feet high with 213 apartments. Pricing begins at $1,720 for studios, $2,190 for one-bedrooms and $2,870 for two-bedrooms. There is a fitness center and indoor swimming pool overlooking the Hudson River. A roof-level River Club Bar features views of the Manhattan skyline and New Jersey Palisades. The apartments have the latest in-home technology, including an automated package concierge locker system for deliveries, a smartphone video intercom and real-time transportation information so residents can tell whether trains at the nearby Metro-North station are on schedule.

Tolls—

Obligation bonding to transportation annually for the next five years. When added to current federal funding and maintaining current Special Tax Obligation bonds, the GOP said, the result would be approximately $1.9 billion in annual transportation funding.

State Republicans have continuously rejected Gov. Ned Lamont’s and fellow Democrats’ support for bringing tolls back to the state, maintaining that such an act is simply another “tax” on residents, in favor of increased bonding.

The issue of tolls will wait until after the regular session of the General Assembly ends on June 5. As a result, a special session of the Legislature will be scheduled for after that deadline.

“We all agree that Connecticut cannot wait to fix our transportation system any longer,” Senate Republican Leader Len Fasano said. “No one has advocated for immediate action more vehemently than Republicans, but we don’t believe tolls are the answer. While some Democrats believe tolls may be a possible solution, perhaps they will consider this as a more layered solution to a complex problem. Connecticut residents are troubled by tolls.”

“This proposal includes bipartisan ideas that have been discussed throughout the legislative session to better define the state’s transportation needs, find efficiencies and develop a long-term plan and vision,” House Republican Leader Themis Klarides said.

The governor derided the Republican plan.

“They came out with what they call a long-term plan,” Lamont said. “It said, ‘Let’s do a little more borrowing and then wait and see. Let’s do a little more borrowing and study this. Let’s do more borrowing and maybe talk to transportation and see what our needs are. Prioritize the bridges.’

This is why people are so cynical.”

In a related development, the state Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee approved a proposal still lacking details, and Lamont apologized to House Democrats for how the bill has evolved.

Noting that he’s “asking every one of you to cast a really difficult vote,” Lamont told his fellow Democrats that he had “put some of you in a pickle, because I ran for office and you know I said, ‘I think we can do this probably with trucks. We’ll get started with trucks-only tolling.’ ” Lamont has since revised that stance to include all motor vehicles. “I know I put you in a tough vote,” he told the legislators. “It’s the most important vote you can take and I’m going to be standing here with each and every one of you. I’m going to be putting my shoulder to the wheel.”

State Rep. Roland Lemar, D-New Haven, who co-chairs the Transportation Committee, said the final number of electronic tolling gantries — he said he expect-

ed no more than 50 — their location and discounts for Connecticut drivers are still being negotiated.

A letter Lamont sent to the General Assembly also said that no more than 50 gantries would be placed roughly every six to seven miles on I-84, I-95, I-91 and Route 15 (The Merritt Parkway), and that drivers using a Connecticut EZ-Pass and a frequent-user discount could expect to pay roughly 25 to 30 cents per gantry, or 4.4 cents per mile during peak driving hours and 3.5 cents during off-peak.

The governor is also proposing the creation of a commission controlled by lawmakers that would decide on the specific gantry locations, oversee rates and determine how toll revenues would be distributed.

Democrats say tolls could ultimately raise $800 million to $1 billion in annual revenue, 40% of which would come from out-of-state drivers.

SeaQuest 'interactive aquarium' coming to Trumbull with plenty of creatures (and controversy)

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

T

he latest chapter in the ongoing evolution at malls — toward offering more of an experience than simply shopping or dining — arrives in June with the long-awaited opening of “interactive aquarium” SeaQuest at the Westfield Trumbull.

Construction on the 17,000-square-foot facility — which promises not just the chance to don a wet suit and snorkel with (nonlethal) rays and baby sharks, but also observe and play with everything from otters to baby pigs and a variety of reptiles — began in late 2018.

“How we differ from traditional aquariums is to try to make everything interactive,” said SeaQuest Trumbull General Manager Nancy Loshuk. “That’s especially attractive to kids, who can pet or feed an animal, rather than just walking through exhibits.”

But the experiences may not always be as animal-friendly as they seem, according to animal rights organizations and news reports.

“SeaQuest has an abysmal record of violating laws and regulations,” said Debbie Leahy, manager, captive wildlife protection at The Humane Society of the United States. “They’re treating animals as disposable and charging the public to handle and harass animals that would rather be left alone.

And it's been documented that they keep animals hungry so they’ll be more willing to interact with people, which has resulted in people being bitten by adders, sharks, rays and iguanas.”

The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk also objects to SeaQuest, issuing a statement that, unlike Bridgeport’s

Beardsley Zoo, the Mystic Aquarium and itself, “we are concerned when we read that SeaQuests’ operations in other locations not only have fallen short of (Association of Zoos & Aquariums) standards, they have triggered criminal charges and regulatory fines in response to their care of animals and their attempted procuring of species from the marine environment.”

To achieve accreditation from the AZA, a facility must pass an application and inspection process and meet or exceed the nonprofit’s standards for animal health and welfare, fund-raising, zoo staffing and involvement in global conservation efforts.

SeaQuest has chosen not to pursue such accreditation.

The criticism is nothing new for the Boise, Idahobased firm, which has weathered controversy at nearly all of its five locations. Last year the state of Colorado issued a ceaseand-desist order to the SeaQuest in Littleton for operating without a valid license and in violation of the Pet Animal Care Facility Act. Former employees at the Las Vegas location went public with tales of animal mistreatment, with a May 14 report saying “deaths, lies and cover-ups were considered standard operating procedure.” Protests about animal cruelty have greeted the news that SeaQuest plans to open in a Fort Lauderdale mall.

A January report by the Sacramento Bee about the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) demanding that animal services of the nearby town of Folsom investigate allegations of inhumane practices included a quote from SeaQuest CEO Vince Covino: “So the animal dies after 10 a.m., and it’s impossible for

you to be looking at every animal in every tank every minute of the day, so it’s going to mean at any zoo or any aquarium, an animal can die and it might be a guest that found it.”

SeaQuest insists that it is playing by the rules.

Vice President of Marketing and Public Relations Elsa MacDonald said the company operates on “three basic pillars — care for animals, care for our employees and the care and welfare of our guests at each facility.”

She also said that SeaQuest employs “quality team members with biology and animal care backgrounds,” many of whom have worked at zoos and other aquariums in the past, and that staff veterinarians regularly visit each facility to maintain detailed health records on each animal.

SeaQuest has also added national-level animal husbandry and marine experts.

The animals are sourced from various state wildlife and fish and game sources, MacDonald said, as well as rescued snakes and the like from families that decide they can no longer adequately care for them. Some animals naturally breed while in SeaQuest’s care with the offspring often deployed to other locations.

Each SeaQuest sees about 250,000 to 300,000 visitors per year, she added, noting that plans call for another three facilities to open this year.

MacDonald said SeaQuest’s origins could be traced to Covino’s childhood, when he and his brother Ammon set up a touch-tank in their front yard and charged neighbors and passersby to interact with the creatures.

Ammon Covino was sentenced to federal prison in December 2013 for conspiring to illegally purchase spotted eagle rays and lemon sharks.

The Club at Briarcliff Manor readies for residents

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he executive director of The Club at Briarcliff Manor expects the first residents to be moving into the luxury senior living facility in a few weeks. “In early summer, either late June or July, we’ll probably be receiving our first residents,” John V. Muzio Jr. told the Business Journal at the club’s Welcome Center. Muzio’s appointment to the post of executive director was announced in April.

While construction on the repurposed 59-acre Briarcliff Lodge property at 25 Scarborough Road in Briarcliff Manor has continued, potential residents were being introduced to the project through audio-visual and other presentations at the Welcome Center. The senior living community is being developed by Senior Lifestyle Corporation, which is based in Chicago and operates residential facilities for senior citizens in 23 states. Muzio pointed out that this one is different, in part, because of the rich history surrounding the property.

Walter Law, who was a wealthy vice president of the W & J Sloane furniture company in New York, retired in 1899 and bought a large piece of property in Westchester, which included what would later become the village of Briarcliff Manor. He established a dairy farm and later built Briarcliff Lodge, the first hotel in Westchester, on part of his property. “He wanted his affluent guests to come up from the city and enjoy winter sports, summer sports, hunting, skiing, things like that, and it was a beautiful Tudor-style building and he was a visionary,” Muzio said. Law created a bottled water called Briarcliff Water and expanded Briarcliff Lodge from the original 93 rooms to 222 rooms.

The Lodge remained popular even after Law’s death in 1924. Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Babe Ruth, J.P. Morgan, Frank Woolworth, Johnny “Tarzan” Weissmuller and Tallulah Bankhead were among the most famous guests. In 1936, a Christian preparatory school leased the property. In 1955, The King’s College moved to the site and remained until 1994. Thereafter, the property fell into disrepair and the main building was slated for demolition. In 2003, a fire destroyed all but the north and west wings of the building.

“We’re honoring some of the architecture with the Tudor-style community and we’re hoping that everyone welcomes The Club the way we intend it to be, which is in homage to the past with a vision to the future,” Muzio told the Business Journal. “The Tudor finishes, the landscaping and just to be exactly on the hill where the lodge was, those things could have been done differently, probably at

a cost savings, but they weren’t.”

Muzio, whose background is in the hospitality industry, has spent the past 15 years working on the development of luxury senior living properties in Westchester and Manhattan. “Our community will have three designations from the New York State Department of Health: the assisted living residence, ALR; the enhanced assisted living residence; and the special needs assisted living residence. That allows for a continuum of care as people age in place,” he said.

There were more than 125 people attending the grand opening of the property’s Welcome Center Feb. 16 and 17 and about 75% of the people expressing interest in moving to the community have been from

Westchester. “We’re doing very concentrated mid-Westchester marketing, but we are getting very, very hyper-local attention just because of the history of the community and land,” Muzio said. “We’ve got a few people coming over from the other side of the river and then there are a few coming from the city and a few from Long Island and a few from Connecticut, but mostly from central Westchester.”

Senior Lifestyle Corp. indicates that the independent living apartments range from 974 square feet to 1,111 square feet with monthly rents stating at $7,350. “Our price point is right in the middle of the Westchester independent and assisted livings,” Muzio said, noting that The Club is planning to offer a variety of on-site and offsite cultural activities. “We have two busses and two cars so we’ll be doing a lot of things remotely, but we’re also planning to bring in culture activities, speeches, lectures, exercise classes.”

He said his service team will be responsive to the desires of the residents. “We’re going to be tailoring our cultural activities around our first 60 to 100 residents and then every resident thereafter. We’re going to be tailoring our menus to some of our early residents. We’re trying to make this exactly what residents want it to be.” Muzio pointed out that the director of dining services is a longtime country club director and their executive chef also comes from country clubs. “We’re trying to make sure we have the caliber of staff that can bring the food service to life,” he said.

Westchester residents linked to $1M Jamaican sweepstakes scam

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

wo Westchester residents are among seven individuals who have been accused in federal court in White Plains of running a variation of the Jamaican lottery scam based on the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes.

The suspects allegedly conspired to swindle more than 30 people, mostly elderly, out of more than $1 million.

A federal grand jury on April 30 indicted Linkoy Bennett of New Rochelle for wire fraud and money laundering. Tiffany Randolph of White Plains was arrested on a criminal complaint in March but has not been indicted.

The alleged scheme operated from July 2017 to September 2018. Conspirators called elderly people and said they had won the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. But to collect their winnings, they had to prepay taxes and fees.

They were also instructed to send cash, money orders or cashier’s checks, or to wire funds, to fictitious names at addresses in the Bronx, New Rochelle and White Plains.

The funds were transferred to a conspirator in Jamaica, either by wire transfers or by couriers, the government says. The unnamed conspirator fled to Jamaica from the U.S. in October.

One of the victims is an 87-year-old woman who lives in Junction City, Kansas.

Initially, she sent a $718 money order to a Walmart in White Plains that was allegedly picked up by a Bronx woman.

She made three more cash payments, totaling $255,000 and shipped the money to addresses in the Bronx and New Rochelle. The New Rochelle package went to a business address on Huguenot Street where Linkoy Bennett worked and where he allegedly took delivery.

Bennett is accused of receiving at least $215,000 in eight packages or wire transfers.

Two other defendants claimed they collected and delivered money to Bennett, according to an affidavit by an FBI agent.

Another victim is a 77-year-old woman from Jefferson City, Missouri. She sent $31,000 in cash to a house on Gibson Avenue in White Plains where Randolph lived and where she allegedly accepted delivery.

Randolph allegedly accepted more than $700,000 in numerous shipments. “She fabricated recipient names for the packages,” the FBI agent’s affidavit states, “because receiving so many packages in her own name would look ‘funny.’ ” The money was deposited in a U.S. checking account and withdrawn in Jamaica, according to the criminal complaint, or delivered directly to Jamaica, “on

Bennett, according to a May 3 letter

by Assistant U.S. Attorney Lindsey Keenan to federal judge Kenneth M. Karas, is a Jamaican citizen with limited family and financial ties to the community. He has family in Jamaica, including a daughter, and has traveled there at least six times since 2015 “in furtherance of the conspiracies with which he is charged.”

Bennett’s behalf.”

Randolph was released on a $25,000 bond after her arrest in March. She surrendered her travel documents and was ordered to stay within the New York City area.

Bennett was deemed a f light risk and has been detained since his arrest. The prosecution has objected to his proposal for bail.

Hammels’ latest Burling Triangle project gets $2.8M in tax breaks

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

N

ew Rochelle has approved more than $2.8 million in tax breaks for a $19.7 million apartment project in the Burling Triangle.

The city’s Industrial Development Agency (IDA) granted the tax incentives May 1 to developers Anthony and William Hammel, whose portfolio of apartment buildings is transforming a small enclave in the center of downtown.

The Burling Triangle is bounded by the New England Thruway, Memorial Highway and its namesake Burling Lane. It is across from Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital on one side and the New Rochelle

Transit Center on the opposite side.

The building will be named The Grand, after the name of the street that bisects the triangle, and it will be the fifth of seven apartment buildings proposed by the Hammels.

The Grand will have 70 apartments in an 84,089-square-foot, six-story structure, with 30 studios and 40 one-bedroom apartments, including several units with balconies.

The ground-floor lounge will have an entertainment center, fireplace and pool table.

A rooftop area will include a fire pit, media center, grilling station and sun-bathing stations. Tenants will have use of a fitness center, bicycle storage and electric car charging stations.

The 575-square-foot

studios are projected to rent for $1,875 to $1,925.

One-bedroom, 800-squarefoot apartments will rent for $2,200 to $2,300. Seven

studios will be leased to tenants who make no more than 80 percent of the area’s median income, for $1,393 a month.

The National Development Council, a consultant that analyzes proposed projects for the IDA, advised the board that the tax incentives are necessary.

“But for the proposed financial incentive package,” NDC said in a report, “the development is not considered financially feasible, as the developer would not be able to generate enough financial returns to attract the necessary equity.”

The IDA approved a sales tax exemption of $545,840, a mortgage recording tax exemption of $154,392 and a 20-year tax abatement deal that will save the developer $2,144,572 on property taxes.

The developer will pay more than $3.3 million in property taxes over 20 years. That will add nearly $2.5 million in tax revenues, assuming that the

property was developed and taxes were frozen at $42,876 a year.

NDC calculated that the project will produce a net public benefit of nearly $1.9 million. That includes onetime payments of $554,560 to a community benefit fund, allowing the developer to add two stories to the structure, and $190,132 to a fair share mitigation infrastructure fund.

The project also will have removed five worn out residential buildings, NDC reported, and create 40 construction jobs and two full-time and three part-time permanent jobs.

The project is being developed by Luxuria NR LLC, an affiliate of the Hammels’ ELD Properties.

Construction could begin by the end of the year.

Top Wealth Advisors 2019 Top Wealth Advisors Awards presented in Tarrytown

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he 2019 Top Wealth Advisors Awards were presented during an event on May 16 at Greystone on Hudson in Tarrytown. The reception and ceremony took place in a $13 million mansion at 6 Carriage Trail, across from Lyndhurst, in a gated community being developed

by The Greystone Mansion Group (GMG). Andy Todd, president of GMG, welcomed the guests to the private setting just off Route 9.

Andrew Maloney, a senior vice president of PIMCO, the Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, gave introductory remarks. PIMCO was founded in Newport Beach, California, in 1971 and has about 2,500 employees in offices around the world.

As of Dec. 31, 2018, it was managing $1.66 trillion in assets.

About a month ago, PIMCO reported on the results of its Defined Contribution Consulting Study, which gathered data, trends and opinions from 238 consulting and advisory firms, as well as individual investment plan advisors, who serve more than 109,000 clients. Nearly two-thirds of the largest and mid-sized 401(k) consultants and advisors believe plan sponsors want to retain and continue to serve individual savers once they retire, the study found. That represents a 14% increase from the previous study.

The study found key strategies employed by consultants and advisors to retain participants in defined contribution plans, including adding distribution flexibil-

Greenwich firms file for bankruptcy protection over $856M in gaming resort debt bheltzel@westfairinc.com

N

ew Cotai Holdings LLC and three affiliated companies that hold a 23 percent interest in a Macau gaming resort have filed for bankruptcy protection, declaring an $856 million debt.

The New Cotai companies are based at the offices of Silver Point Capital, a Greenwich hedge fund.

They filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions in White Plains where they have an account with Bank of America.

The companies were formed to invest in Studio City International Holdings Ltd., a hotel, gaming and retail complex

in Macau. The first phase opened in 2015.

New Cotai issued $467.5 million in notes in 2013 and 2014 “directly tied to the development and success of the Studio City project,” John Brecker, a restructuring consultant, stated in a court filing.

As of May 1, the companies were on the hook for $856 million in principal and interest.

Brecker attributed New Cotai’s financial difficulties to construction delays, an extra $300 million in construction costs, fewer gaming tables allocated by the Macau government and unanticipated declines in the gambling market.

“Through no fault of their own,” he stated, “the debtors (New Cotai) were unable to

opens on time the project will generate “sufficient value to repay the notes in full.”

The companies have secured $6.25 million in outside financing and have begun discussions with creditors to restructure in bankruptcy.

The New Cotai companies are managed by Silver Point Capital employees Michael Gatto, Anna Kanterakis and David Reganato.

Silver Point has a separate 13 percent interest in Studio City, according to Brecker, through affiliates that are not part of the New Cotai companies.

New Cotai is represented by attorney Jay M. Goffman of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom.

satisfy the notes obligations by their maturity.”

Studio City was supposed to complete its second phase by last July,

under the terms of a land grant, or risk forfeiture of the entire project to the Macau government.

They’ve been granted an

extension to July 2021.

The New Cotai companies believe its investment is still viable, Brecker stated, and if the second phase

Cuomo lists Westchester home amid tabloid talk of romantic woes

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

O

ne of Westchester County’s most prominent residents is seeking to move out amid tabloid reports of a fraying love life.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his partner of 14 years, Food Network personality Sandra Lee, are listing their home at 4 Bittersweet Lane in New Castle for $2.3 million. The couple bought the six-bedroom, 5.5-bath, 4,169-square-foot home in 2008 for $1.2 million.

While Lee has stated the sale of the property was part of a downsizing effort, the couple has been the subject of gossipy rumors that their longtime relationship was winding down. The New York Post’s Page Six section cited anonymous sources to insist Cuomo and Lee “have been living separate

FOR YOUR NEXT CORPORATE PARTY Gov. Andrew Cuomo

lives for a while, with Lee spending her time either at her Battery Park City pad in Manhattan or in California, while Cuomo is hunkering down at the Executive Mansion in Albany.”

However, Lee took to Facebook to refute the tabloid speculation. “Both Andrew and I confirmed before the breakup story ran but the story was not true,” she wrote on her

Facebook page. “Both of us! But page 6 decided to run the sensationalized story anyway. Andrew and I are still very much together after 14 years. We share three beautiful daughters that I helped raise and a beautiful home, Lily Pond, where we live. We keep our lives as private as possible — The exception of breast cancer and that is only to save other peoples lives!”

ressbarn, a women’s clothing retailer that opened with a single store in Stamford in 1962 and grew into a 660-unit national chain, has announced plans to shutter its retail operations.

The company, which also operates stores under the Roz & Ali brand, did not offer a timeline regarding specific store closings.

The company, which employs approximately 6,800 individuals, retained A&G Realty Partners to assist on the real estate-related matters connected to the termination of the business.

“During the wind-down process, we will continue to provide our customers with the same great experience both in-store and online, offering them even better deals and value. We will work to assist our associates through the transition and maintain exist-

Newly launched SFSK brings integrated approach to development disorder therapy

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

D

evelopmental disorders among the nation’s youth have been on the rise, with research pointing to more than one in 20 children and teens impacted by anxiety or depression, more than 10% of children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), between 5% and 16% of children showing symptoms of sensory-processing disorder and an estimated one of 59 children diagnosed with autism.

Within Fairfield County, two facilities have taken different approaches to working with youth with developmental disorders. The Southfield Center for Development in

ry and pediatric occupational therapy.

In January, the two organizations collaborated to create a new entity called SFSK. Based in Wilton, SFSK

offers a multidisciplinary approach that combines the services of The Southfield Center and Sensory Kids in a single setting. Christopher Bogart, executive director of The Southfield Center, believed the integration of the two organizations will prove beneficial to the young people being served.

“Treatment for children is rarely handled in a way where one person has all the answers to solve,” he explained. “Kids are much more complicated. The most effective way to do that is in a way that gives them opportunities for development, and you very often need to bring together a team of professionals. So many practices are set up as solo vendors, so to speak.”

“We have seven different disciplines and 55 professionals work across the settings,” said Melissa Kahn, executive director and owner of Sensory Kids.

There is no one-size-fitsall treatment for developmental disorders and SFSK has scaled its work to accommodate different approaches to therapy.

“We have intentionally designed the space so you can do one-on-one sessions, or combine the two one-onone sessions or do group sessions,” Kahn continued, adding that she did not prefer the solo-focus approach.

“No one lives in a one-on-one world, so the whole idea of therapy … is to have the kids function actively in their environment, whether it is at school or at home — and, as they are getting older, in jobs and in their careers. So, it wouldn’t make sense to do one-on-one because it is not going to be realistic about what they are going to be doing in life.”

One key element of the new SFSK space is a re-creation of the brightly hued gym from Sensory Kids’ Stamford facility. While the gym provides exercise for its young users, it also works to sharpen their abilities to process a shifting world.

“What we did from a sensory perspective is to create a place where every single aspect of the gym has a therapeutic use behind it,” she explained. “Whether it is a foam pit or a tunnel through the air, there is a reason it was designed like that. And how are they getting into that? Is it very obvious or do they have to problem-solve and motorplan their way to do that?

There is a reason the surfaces change slightly, so they have to use their movement system differently.”

SFSK is run as a private organization, but Kahn noted that the new facility and its predecessor entities maintain a strong relation-

ship with local schools.

“We’ve worked cooperatively with schools where I feel we can come together as an advocate for the child,” she said.

Bogart noted that school systems were never designed to focus primarily on developmental disorders.

“I think they are doing as good of a job that they can do with the resources and facilities they have,” he said. “There are limitations in terms of their budgets and the professional development of their teachers. I think they do a terrific job with many of the kids, but there are kids that have such specialized needs that you need a higher level of training or a facility that was specifically designed with these kids in mind.”

Bogart observed that “diagnostic tools have gotten better” and teachers and pediatricians are able to identify problems more quickly. Nonetheless, Bogart believed the omnipresence of digital lifestyles is making a bad situation worse.

“There is also a lot of research suggesting the movement of our society to a huge reliance on technology and the rapid amount of change that has happened over the last 25 years has resulted in kids now needing so much more stimuli,” he said. “They are developing more rapidly that they have to start reading at a younger age, which is putting a lot of pressure on kids to develop more quickly than evolution programmed them for.”

They don’t see a need to franchise their concept into other towns.

“Is there a real need for that countywide or even beyond?” said Bogart. “One of the things we’ve talked about is rather than setting up another SFSK, we could reach a broader range of people by training people based on the model that we built.”

Ask Andi Finding, hiring and keeping good people RECRUITING RESULTS ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. WE’RE GROWING, AND BECAUSE WE CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THE RIGHT PEOPLE FAST ENOUGH, WE STRUGGLED DURING OUR BUSY SEASON. NOTHING THAT OUR CLIENTS SAW, BUT WE LIVED WITH THE STRESS. AND WE PLAN ON CONTINUING TO GROW. WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO RAMP UP EFFORTS TO ATTRACT THE RIGHT PEOPLE AND KEEP THEM. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Recruiting done right is a year-round job. Knowing what you’re looking for is half the battle. Having a wide net to gather in candidates is the other half. Have a process that works quickly and efficiently to bring on candidates and turn the right ones into employees. Nurture new personnel and give them a reason to stick with you.

Look for good people everywhere, all the time. You never know when a good person is going to cross paths with you, so always have your

antenna up. Pay attention to individuals who work in service industries, including restaurants and retail sales.

If someone does an especially good job of taking care of you, ask for their business card so you can circle back when you’re ready to do some hiring.

Looking for technical people? Get in touch with schools to ask if they can send you candidates who have been back recently for refresher courses. Technology is constantly changing. You want to hire people who are engaged in keeping their skills up to date.

FCBJ

WCBJ

Have a clear idea of the attributes that cause people to be successful in your company. Be clear what the company mission is. Promote both when you advertise for new candidates.

You want to have more than one interview with candidates, but don’t drag things out too long or they’ll be on to other opportunities. Cycle candidates through from one interview to the next in a short period of time. Have someone ready to do reference checks right away. If you plan to test candidates, set up

the emails so all you have to do is hit the button to send out the links. Keep job profiles on file so that it’s easy to pull out details when you need to look for new candidates.

Build templates for your offer letters so that it takes less time to put them together once you have zeroed in on a specific hire.

The other part of recruiting is having a system in place to ensure that those new employees will stay at your company. Accept that not everyone will stay with you forever, but there are some things a company can do to increase retention throughout the organization. Be sure to nurture new personnel and make them feel like they are an important part of the company right out of the

gate. Assign someone on your existing team to mentor new employees and show them the ropes, especially when it comes to company culture and expectations. Having a fully developed and standard training plan for new hires is also crucial in ensuring that they don’t get lost in the dayto-day activities of running the business.

When it comes to firing an employee, be sure to document everything that goes on with every employee — this system should span from tracking accolades to fireable offenses and everything in-between. People make mistakes, but it’s how people recover, learn from and fix those mistakes that shows their true character. Take stock of the team you have and the team

you need to ensure company growth. Make sure those two visions align. If someone needs to be let go from your organization make sure that you have well-documented reasons for firing and be decisive in that decision.

o a great extent, I believe emotion is a driving force in the markets lately, with investors seemingly hanging on to every utterance from just about any source, and either buying or selling — heavily in many cases — depending on what they hear.

Last year was a period of extreme volatility for the market, with a seemingly never-ending series of wild swings up and down.

Much of the volatility followed news regarding world events, and it continued through the end of the year

A sense of stability in the market as stocks had their worst December since 1931.

Right after Christmas the market began its current positive pattern and as of the beginning of March the Dow Jones Industrial Average was back in the high-25,000 range, even as it shook off random midday slides.

In the first quarter of 2019 traditional factors, such as corporate earnings, mattered considerably less than investor sentiment, even when it was announced that the 2.6 percent fourth quarter growth of 2018 was lower than previous quarters

in 2018. A rather weak jobs report announced in early March appeared to impact investor optimism.

Still, there seems to be general agreement that the underlying economy is stable, with continued growth expected, even if the rate of growth diminishes somewhat each year. The result: even bad days in the market have been less severe than what seemed like chaos a few months ago.

cial conditions, credit spreads, bank lending, U.S. labor markets, commodity prices, emerging market currencies and the yen remain at levels that are constructive for the forward outlook.

Supporting the case for another good year is the low unemployment rate, currently below 4%. You have to go back a long time to find a similar percentage and current figures indicate that job growth could still remain healthy because companies still need workers.

Many analysts expect corporate earnings growth to slow in 2019, though corporate balance sheets are expected to stay healthy and companies may be ready to add employees.

Overall, there is plenty of good news to bolster confidence in the economy.

There seems to be general agreement that the underlying economy is stable, with continued growth expected, even if the rate of growth diminishes somewhat each year.

However, investors should recognize that financial market corrections are likely from time to time. To protect the family nest egg, diversification remains essential. A portfolio should show a mix of investments with an asset allocation capable of strategic shifts over time.

You may be able to limit negative exposure by owning a variety of low or noncorrelated asset classes, perhaps including some fixed-income securities. Over time, it is reasonable to expect interest rates to slowly trend higher, having some impact on investments, particularly bonds. It is important to make sure fixed-income assets, including the types of instruments, credit worthiness and maturities, can weather a continuing rise in interest rates.

Although economic growth in 2019 may still be strong, it may be hard to match 2018’s performance. The best strategy: ignore your emotion and gut reaction to the day-to-day fluctuations. Keep your goals in focus and don’t follow the crowd and succumb to emotions or rumors.

ACGT PIONEERING CANCER GENE THERAPY This year marks the 18th anniversary of the nonprofit Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy (ACGT), founded in 2001 by Greenwich residents Barbara and Edward Netter. The Netters, who lost their daughter-in-law Kimberly Netter to breast cancer, believed that there had to be a better way to treat cancer. The organization, which is headquartered in Stamford, is the nation’s only nonprofit dedicated exclusively to supporting cancer gene and cell therapy. ACGT has funded 59 grants totaling $29.7 million for basic, translational and clinical research, much of which has been instrumental in unlocking better and more effective treatments for cancer.

One of ACGT’s early and successful cancer gene therapy pioneers is Dr. Carl June of the University of Pennsylvania.

One of the first ACGT grant recipients with a grant in 2004 to fund research for CAR T gene therapy for leukemia, June was honored by ACGT at its Award Gala on April 18 with The Edward Netter Leadership Award for his life-saving work pioneering CAR T gene therapy, resulting in the first-ever FDA gene therapy approved for treating cancer. The ACGT Award Gala raised more than $400,000 for its life-saving cancer gene therapy research.

There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.
