CBIA's DiPentima on what's next for Connecticut's economy

BY PHIL HALL Phall@westfairinc.com

Next month marks the third anniversary of Chris DiPentima’s taking on the role of president and CEO of the Connecticut Business and Industry Association (CBIA). DiPentima served as chairman of the CBIA board from 2018-19 and was division president of Leggett & Platt Aerospace, which includes Pegasus Manufacturing in Middletown, at the time he was chosen to replace Joe Brennan, who led the CBIA for 32 years prior to his retirement. In this interview, DiPentima spoke with the Business Journals regarding Connecticut’s business community and the challenges it faces for the remainder of 2023.

Latimer delivers his sixth State of the County Address

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

There was an air of exuberance in the Westchester County Legislative Chamber on the eighth floor of the County Office Building in White Plains on June 29 as County Executive George Latimer identified some of the county's accomplishments while delivering his 2023 State of the County Address. Then, Latimer came to what he classified as "the most pressing issue of our time."

Latimer's approach to dealing with that issue, the plight of immigrant asylum seekers, has stood in sharp contrast to

the position and actions taken by other county executives in the Hudson Valley. Counties from Sullivan to Putnam have issued emergency declarations and filed lawsuits to try to stop New York City from sending migrants in need of housing and social services to the Hudson Valley. Latimer has taken the position that Westchester County is here to help.

"We must approach this matter with compassion, empathy and a commitment to upholding our values as a nation. Asylum seekers are individuals, just like you and me," Latimer said in his State of the County Address. "They are individuals who have fled their home countries due to persecution, violence and unimag-

inable hardships. Unimaginable. They come seeking refuge, hoping for a chance at a better life for themselves and their families. I know that we all, deep down, believe in treating them with dignity and respect, while also ensuring a fair and efficient immigration process and protecting the interests and addressing the legitimate concerns of those who already live here.”

Latimer also called for an end to the bitter divisions that have been promoted by some prominent politicians.

"We must rise above political ideology and work together in a spirit of cooperation," Latimer said. "We must resist the

Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti: 'We're a city that's a destination'

to 25,000 people would commute to work every day. That has consistently grown over the last 30 years.”

Those 30 years were also entirely within Lauretti’s tenure. He has served as the city’s mayor since 1991, winning 14 consecutive two-year terms. Shelton has been a Republican stronghold since the 1960s, and Lauretti can reasonably rely on support from the board of aldermen where the sole Democrat is outnumbered 7-1.

Since Lauretti took office, the census has shown Shelton growing by almost 14% from 35,418 in 1990 to 40,869 in 2020. He attributed that change and the accompanying transformation of Shelton’s formerly industrial downtown to a simple formula.

fire, EMS, recreation, education. We spend less than everybody else – but I will tell you that in a year and half we will be debt free. We will have no bonded indebtedness.”

In the mayor’s view, that will make Shelton a stable, reliable place for companies to locate the offices and light industrial operations he hopes will unite the city’s industrial past and economic future.

“Things have been going great,” said Shelton Mayor Mark Lauretti of his town’s current status. “But I don’t think it comes as any surprise — this has been going on for a number of years and after the pandemic it has really accelerated itself. People are really seeing the value of what Shelton has to offer in terms of our business community, the options that people have for shopping and dining and employment. We’ve become an employment hub here in Connecticut.”

“I think if you look at Shelton in the 1990s, we are a different city now,” he added. “We’re a city that’s a destination, a city that has reinvented itself. We were an old industrial blue-collar kind of place. And now are a corporate community with a thriving downtown. Pre-pandemic, anywhere from 22,000

“I tell people all the time that there are two things that you must do to ensure growth. One, you have to have a good quality of life. The community has to be safe and you have to have opportunities for people to recreate, to shop, to work,” he said.

“And the second thing is that you have to be affordable. And Shelton is affordable. We have been consistently year in and year out.”

In order to maintain that affordability, Lauretti said that the key has been a combination of smart investments in city projects and an emphasis on paying down debts.

“We took over our school bus transportation almost 10 years ago. And we’ve provided that service for the same price for the last eight years,” the mayor said of one such investment. “If you had a private carrier or provider it goes up by the millions. When you do things like that, people complain, ‘Oh he doesn’t spend enough money.’ You can say that about every single category. Police,

“We’re predictable for companies and they like that because they need to plan from year to year. We’re predictable for seniors living on fixed incomes that own their own homes, they don’t have to do a reverse mortgage or sell. And we’re predictable for the young family that is trying to make mortgage payments and pay college tuition,” he said, noting that attracting a diverse population with steady work will also help the city’s downtown stay a lively economic engine in its own right.

“Manufacturing has been a part of America’s past since its early inception,” Lauretti observed. “To abandon it is just wrong. But manufacturing is different today than it was in the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s. There’s more regulation and technology.”

According to Lauretti, one of the brightest indicators that this future is attainable is a 75-acre parcel the city purchased from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. after it was seized from a former owner.

“We’ve got every acre of that parcel under contract,” the mayor said. “We are making it a manufacturer’s corporate park. Bigelow Tea is the biggest one — they are proposing a 300,000-square-foot facility on this property to house their Connecticut operations. They’ll be doing manufacturing, warehouse distribution, and their corporate office space. There’s no question that we’re moving in a positive direction.”

Ridgefield’s Tiger Shark Tank competition returns in October

BY PHIL HALL Phall@westfairinc.com

The Ridgefield Community & Economic Development Commission (ECDC) is bringing back its Tiger Shark Tank competition for a 2023 edition.

In this competition — which was inspired by the long-running “Shark Tank”

television series — Ridgefield-based entrepreneurs and business owners are given a 15-minute window to pitch their ideas to a panel of business professionals, private equity investors, and Ridgefield ECDC members. The panel will vote on the best ideas and award Ridgefield Chamber of Commerce gift cards to the top three presentations.

This year’s event will take place on Oct. 24 at the Ridgefield Playhouse. Potential

participants can apply for the competition by emailing ecdc.sean@gmail.com; the deadline for applications is Oct. 2.

“We received so much positive feedback from our first Tiger Shark Tank, we felt like we tapped into something really special for the community,” said Sean Dowd of the ECDC, referring to the inaugural edition last year. “We’re excited to support these entrepreneurs and the town by giving out a total of $5,000 in gift cards to the winners.”

Empowering the local workforce

We’ve invested nearly $100 million in workforce development. Alongside hundreds of other employers and community partners, we’re increasing the talent pipeline by helping our neighbors get the skills and experience to build careers that support families and fuel our economy.

Here in Southern Connecticut, we’re investing in our community by investing in people’s futures. I’m proud of the work we’re doing to help train and identify talent for in-demand careers by contributing to local initiatives through employer and academic partners.

Bill Tommins President, Bank of America Southern Connecticut

As we head into the second half of this year, where's Connecticut's business environment at this point in time? And where do you see it heading for the next six months?

Based on our meetings with members and going around the state of Connecticut, the business community is generally positive on the Connecticut economy — this is specifically driven by the state getting its fiscal health in order, with the fiscal guardrails legislation that was passed in 2017 and then being extended for five years at the beginning of this session in February. When I go around and talk to businesses, they generally point to the state's fiscal health and those guardrails for providing them with some predictability, stability and certainty as to Connecticut's financial future, as well as giving them some confidence that Connecticut is a good place for them to be doing business.

There are some areas of concern that every business that I visit raises and highlights, specifically around the inability to find a workforce and fill their open positions. Also, in the last couple of budgets that had a fiscal surplus, there hasn't been a focus on any business tax relief to make the state more affordable to do business in and more friendly to do business.

What’s causing the shortage of workers? Is this because of the increased level of outbound migration from Connecticut to other parts of the country during the past few years?

It's a combination of structural issues that existed pre-Covid and the fact that we had no population growth. I think it was 0.1%, from 2008 to 2018, and during that same period of time while there were no new people moving into the state, the workforce that we had in the state got older. So, we had a number of folks retiring out of the workforce pre-Covid, and that accelerated during Covid when retirement seemed to get accelerated.

As a result, we've got businesses trying to find more people, but there's less people to work. That makes it very challenging for businesses to be able to fill open positions, and especially with businesses – and many of our Connected businesses that

are growing and expanding post-Covid, so there is much more demand than supply. And that lack of population growth was a result of multiple years of budget deficits and tax hikes that really chased people and businesses out of Connecticut.

Gov. Ned Lamont enthusiastically called attention to the income tax cut in the recently passed budget. But as you just mentioned a minute ago, the budget doesn't have business tax cuts. Why is that? Why is the focus more on putting money back into the pockets of just the average residents as opposed to providing tax cuts for their potential employers?

There's a need to make the state more affordable for the individuals as well — as I just said, that is one of the reasons why we didn't see population growth. The governor knows we need to make the state more affordable in order to attract residents to Connecticut, which will then help address the workforce crisis, which will help businesses — so, there's a foundational issue there.

And that's not just tax relief. That's all the legislation that came out around housing, around more affordable quality childcare, affordable transportation.

But there is another reason. When you look at some of the policymakers and their bias toward individual tax relief versus business tax relief, they just see the individuals as the ones who get them elected. They need to realize businesses are made up of individuals as well — not just the owners and leaders of the company, but all the employees who work in that company. If you're not making it more affordable to do business with Connecticut, then businesses aren't going to be able to make the investments that we want them to make in the form of wage increases, additional training or hiring, expanding their roots in Connecticut through equipment purchases and facility expansion – and that's what drives the economy. Business investments have a significant ripple effect not just inside of their four walls with their employee base, but within their local community and regionally.

What are the growth industries in Connecticut today?

Manufacturing continues to grow. Right now, manufacturing has over 4,000 job openings with logistics, warehousing, transportation. Everyone sees the warehousing construction going up around the state and that's because Connecticut is –believe it or not — a low-cost state for logistics and warehousing when you compare it to the Boston or New York areas. And as a result of that growth, you're seeing wage increases — and not only warehouse workers, but truck drivers. That helps stimulate the economy.

Health care has the most job openings right now and I think will continue to grow in Connecticut for quite some time – over 8,000 job openings in the health — care industry sector.

Technology is a sector that's been growing for the last seven years in Connecticut, and that's everything from fintech, cybersecurity, insurance tech, along with general IT professional services. As we've all gone to more of a hybrid remote environment, there is more reliance on technology and IT professional services — and the demand for IT professional services has really exploded post-pandemic.

In driving around Connecticut, it's hard not to notice there are a lot of empty retail stores in many Main Street commercial districts. What is the state of retail in Connecticut?

On the retail side, we haven't heard of a massive problem with vacancies. There have been generational changes post-pandemic where people are retiring and end up selling their business or getting out of business. And then another business comes in. So, you have that transition period. But generally, we're hearing storefront retail is still well.

Obviously the online presence dominates, but there seems to be a desire when we talk to our members that customers want to go back to shopping and transactions in-person. And so, our retail members have been experiencing growth as a result of that — and also, because most of them have an online presence as well.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is pledging there will be at least two more interest rate hikes in the second half of the year. How is that going to

impact Connecticut's economy?

The interest rate hikes continue to impact the Connecticut and the national economy. It obviously causes some uncertainty with businesses — the higher cost of capital either erodes their bottom line, which gives them less money to be able to invest back in their businesses and their employees, or it causes them to increase prices to their customers, which usually causes a softening of demand.

In Connecticut, we're fortunate to have some really good banks, both community banks some of the bigger banks, and they're trying to figure out creative ways to navigate the interest rate hikes.

Hopefully, this is the end of the hikes and we’ll start to back off. Otherwise, we're going to see a softening of demand that we haven't seen yet. When we talk to our businesses, their demand from their customers — whether it's locally, regionally, nationally or globally — is still strong. But when I talk to other states, their businesses are starting have seen a softening of demand going back to the first quarter of this year. And as a result, their hiring has slowed down significantly. We were fortunate to see some nice job growth in the first quarter and second quarter that other states haven't seen.

If we would have had this conversation a year from now, where do you see the state's business environment at that time?

A year from now, we will hopefully wrap up a short session where we finally get some business tax relief that's absolutely needed. If policymakers are not making business tax relief a priority, then, we've got serious concerns. This baffles me – why wouldn't it be a priority, especially after we've made significant progress on reducing the cost of living in Connecticut through housing, personal income tax relief and some of the things that passed this session?

And we had the association health plan bill, which got pretty close to passing this year but didn't make it. We expect it to be looked at next year and pass, so businesses have an opportunity to start to lower their health care costs because that's also a driver of their overall inflation.

A year from now, I hope there's a lot more investments that will continue to increase business optimism.

IBM accused of wiretapping Weather.com users

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

AMaryland woman claims that Weather.com’s use of personal information from its website visitors amounts to wiretapping.

Lisa Addi, of Northeast, Maryland, accused International Business Machines Inc., the owner of Weather.com, of violating Maryland’s Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Act, in a class action complaint filed June 21 in U.S. District Court, White Plains.

IBM “sought to profit and in fact did profit off procuring the interception of … electronic communications,” the complaint states, “while intentionally or recklessly disregarding its known legal duty.”

Armonk-based IBM did not respond to an email asking for a response to the accusations.

Addi says it is Weather.com’s use of an Oracle cloud data management system that enables the company to vacuum up immense amounts of personal data, track individuals as they use various computer devices, create precise customer profiles and sell the data to marketers.

She claims that she had been unaware of how the website gathered her personal information and that she gave no meaningful consent to use of her data.

The complaint does not mention that Weather.com’s main webpage displays links to privacy settings, advertising settings and data rights that give users the ability to opt out of targeted advertising and sale of personal data.

The complaint states that Oracle offers a marketing tool called Blue Kai Pixel that enables clients to collect and organize personal data from online, mobile and offline sources.

A website can insert a tag, unbeknownst to webpage visitors, that lets the site collect a user’s location, email address, keystrokes and mouse clicks, search terms and demographic details.

The data can be synchronized with individual profiles and used to identify

other devices and marketing channels that people use.

Precise location data can identify up to 95% of the individual website users, according to the complaint, and be used to track consumers to specific locations such as places of worship, domestic abuse shelters, medical facilities, abortion clinics and other sensitive locations.

That kind of movement tracking, the complaint states, is the Holy Grail of marketing, because it connects an individual’s online interests and activities to “realworld actions.”

The system can also import information such as loyalty program profiles, email lists, social media, and sales transactions.

Oracle uses the data to build profiles of individuals, according to the complaint, “and their every interaction – no matter how, when, where, or with whom they engage.”

Oracle has “actionable audience data” on 300 million users, the complaint states, including age, gender, employment, household income and net worth.

It allegedly matches similar profiles for marketers who can then target an audience anywhere on the internet.

Individuals’ loss of privacy, the complaint argues, results in advertising profits for the websites that use the Oracle system.

Although Oracles’ technology is at the core of the complaint, the Texas company is not named as a defendant.

IBM is accused of violating the Maryland wiretapping law for allegedly intercepting the identities and communications of its Weather.com users.

The lawsuit was also filed as a class action on behalf of all Maryland residents who use Weather.com

The Maryland law allows for damages of $100 a day per violation, up to $1,000, for each person who’s privacy has been invaded.

Addi is asking the court to certify the case as a class action, declare that IBM has violated the wiretapping law, and award unspecified damages and restitution.

She is represented by Bursor & Fisher P.A. attorneys in Manhattan and Miami.

SUNSETTING TAX PROVISIONS: DON’T BE LEFT IN THE DARK

By Je Stuart

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), which became e ective January 1, 2018, ushered in some of the most signi cant tax law legislation in 30 years. Some of the provisions in the TCJA are permanent while others will sunset after 2025, unless extended by congress. Any extension of the sunsetting TCJA provisions will be costly with the Congressional Budget O ce estimating a price tag at $2.7 trillion for an extension through 2032. This article summarizes some of the sunsetting provisions so taxpayers are not caught o guard and also provides some insight for some planning opportunities.

Sunsetting provisions

The Federal standard deductions, which are set at $13,850 (single) and $27,700 (married ling jointly) for 2023, are set to be reduced in half meaning a larger percentage of individual income tax lers will move from taking the standard deduction to itemizing their deductions, adding an additional layer of complexity to their annual lings.

The Federal cap on the state and local tax (SALT) deduction of $10,000 (married ling jointly) is set to end.

The mortgage interest deduction, currently limited to interest on $750,000 of quali ed nongrandfathered debt, is set to return to its preTCJA levels of $1,000,000 of quali ed debt with an additional $100,000 of quali ed home equity interest debt.

The ability to deduct miscellaneous itemized deductions such as unreimbursed business expenses, investment fees, safety deposit box rentals and tax preparation fees will return. These miscellaneous itemized deductions will be subject to a two percent adjusted gross income oor whereby the amount in excess will be allowed as an itemized deduction.

The phase-down of itemized deductions, which was eliminated under TCJA, will return. This impacts high income taxpayers by reducing the bene ts of certain itemized deductions.

The personal exemption deduction will return allowing for an in ation adjusted deduction per taxpayer and quali ed dependents.

Under TCJA fewer people were subject to the alternative minim tax (AMT”) because of the high exemption amounts ($81,300 for singles, $126,500 married ling jointly n 2023) and high income phaseout amounts ($578,150 for singles, $1,156,300 for married ling jointly in 2023). After this sunsets, signi cantly more taxpayers will likely be subject to AMT.

Under TCJA, the corporate tax rate was reduced from 35% to 21% and to keep the playing eld level for non-corporate taxpayers, TCJA provided a 20% deduction for quali ed business income (QBI), subject to certain limitations. Although the QBI deduction is set to sunset, the corporate tax rate will remain at 21%.

Under TCJA, the child tax credit was increased from $1,000 to $2,000 per qualifying dependent under the age of 17 and is set to return to $1,000. The child tax credit is subject to income limitations under TCJA and after the provisions change.

The estate and gift tax lifetime exclusion under TCJA is just under $13 million per individual. The amount will be reduced by roughly half as part of the sunset.

The graduated tax rates/brackets under TCJA are set to be recast increasing the rates for almost all the income levels.

Planning opportunities

If a taxpayer currently takes the standard deduction, consider lumping or bunching itemized deductions such as charitable contributions into

the 2026 year whereby it becomes advantageous to itemize your deduction versus taking the standard deduction.

With the prospect of rising income tax rates consider contributions or conversions to Roth IRAs. Taxpayers with a mix of pretax and Roth IRAs can better control their taxes in retirement by drawing from pretax sources when in lower tax brackets and from Roth IRAs when in higher tax brackets.

With the QBI deduction sunsetting after 2025 a taxpayer who owns a business that is eligible for a QBI deduction might consider, to the extent permitted, accelerating income into 2025 and deferring expenses until 2026 to potentially increase the income eligible for the QBI deduction. The QBI deduction is subject to limitations that should be considered prior to deploying this strategy. This strategy also has the advantage of pulling more income into 2025 before the rates increase in 2026.

With the decrease in the estate tax exemption making lifetime gifts before the end of 2025, taking advantage of the increased exemption amounts will remove not only the assets from estate taxation but also any appreciation on said assets. The Internal Revenue Service has issued regulations to prevent a “claw back” on lifetime gifts during the increased exemption period whereby an individual can make gifts over the lower 2026 exemption amount and up to the current exemption amount without the fear that the estate will need to claw back the exemption used. Portability elections made during the increased exemption period will not be a ected by the sunsetting provision.

temptation to demonize one another based on political affiliation, and instead focus on the shared values that unite us. Our democracy is strongest when we stand together, embracing our diversity and working toward a better future for us all. We are all Americans."

This was Latimer's sixth State of the County Address. Such addresses are mandated by the County Charter.

Latimer said, "So you ask – what is the state of our county? Is it fierce? Is it united? Or is it thriving? It is all of this –because the state of our county is one of unyielding strength, unwavering resolve and, most crucially, boundless potential.”

This year's address was illustrated by seven videos, each presented to highlight a separate area of accomplishment.

"Our county has successfully cut county property taxes for the fourth consecutive year," Latimer said in his speech. "This achievement is a testament to our commitment to fiscal responsibility, and our dedication to improving the lives of our citizens."

Latimer said that he doesn't consider cutting county property taxes to be mere political rhetoric.

"It is a tangible action that directly impacts the lives of our residents," Latimer said. "It allows hardworking county residents to keep more of their earnings, invest in their dreams, take the kids to do something fun and most of all worry less.”

Latimer pointed to lower crime rates in the county, which he attributed to continued strong financial support of the county's Department of Public Safety and "the dedication and bravery displayed by our men and women in uniform.”

Latimer noted that the County Center, which had been converted into a vaccination and patient care center during Covid, has been restored to its previous physical layout with various events and activities resuming. He praised the parks department and said that the county has committed millions in capital spending to improve Playland, Muscoot Farm, Tibbetts Brook Park and other facilities.

"Our commitment to infrastructure improvement is evident through initiatives like the repaving and reconstruction of Mamaroneck Avenue and Theodore Fremd Avenue, along with countless other byways," Latimer said, while adding that a lot of county spending is designed to provide direct help to residents.

"We have prioritized funding for childcare, assistance to programs for food security and hosted multiple job fairs for people with disabilities to connect job seekers with employers, and the Sunflower

Lanyards Program at the County Airport to help those with hidden disabilities as they travel," Latimer said.

Latimer said the county has helped business, with the county's Industrial Development Agency (IDA) continuing to provide tax incentives for developers.

"Spearheaded by the monumental $1.8-billion-dollar expansion of Regeneron, these projects supported by IDA incentives are projected to generate over 1,580 construction jobs, 600 new apartments and 832,000 square feet of commercial and retail space," Latimer said. "In recognition of the ongoing challenges posed by the pandemic, the county has extended its support to religious organizations, nonprofits and minority and women-owned businesses through grants amounting to $17 million dollars."

Latimer reminded people that he was one of those questioning the dumping of radioactive water from Indian Point into the Hudson River by Holtec, the company that is handling the power plant's decommissioning. Latimer said he'd continue working to ensure safety and transparency as the decommissioning process

continues.

Latimer used the State of the County Address to announce that county employees will be trained in how to administer the drug Narcan that is used to reverse the effects of an opioid overdoses. He also said the county is beginning a public campaign so residents will better understand the opioid crisis and be better prepared to combat it.

He said that the county continues efforts to promote the use of electric vehicles and is currently operating 40 public EV charging stations and plans to install

an additional 149 stations by the end of the year.

At the same time, Latimer said the county has developed a comprehensive program to address the threat from fires caused by lithium-ion batteries that includes public education, training for fire fighters and providing options for disposal of old or damaged batteries.

Latimer emphasized that the county's bond rating is strong, bond investors have confidence in the financial stability of the county and its financial reserves are continuing to grow.

Christie’s Westchester accused of robocall abuses

He has received “unauthorized solicitations” that have harmed him, the complaint states, “in the form of annoyance, nuisance, and invasion of privacy.”

Christie’s established itself in the Hudson Valley in 2019, with the opening of an office in New City, Rockland County, and has since opened offices in Chappaqua, Nyack, Scarsdale and White Plains.

Congress enacted the TCPA in 1991 in response to complaints about recorded telemarketer messages that used computerized auto-dialing technology.

He claims that Christie’s hired a marketer to solicit clients for the firm’s real estate agents. He told the callers to stop, the complaint states, but the calls and text messages continued.

The first text message addressed him as “Steven” and the second asked him to verify his email address and review a home search profile “you just created.”

He is demanding unspecified monetary damages and a court order requiring Christie’s to stop making unsolicited calls.

In reply to an email asking for a response to the allegations, Byrne, whose team is repeatedly cited in the complaint but who is not personally named as a defendant, said she had “no comment at this point.”

Weinberg’s attorneys, Stefan Coleman of Manhattan and Avi R. Kaufman, of Coral Gables, Florida, specialize in class action lawsuits and the TCPA.

Weinberg has filed at least four TCPA lawsuits this year in New York, including one that is nearly identical to the current case except for the defendant’s name.

In February he sued Christopher Petti, who works in the Christie’s Scarsdale office.

Petti did not file a formal answer to the allegations. On May 23, U.S. District Judge Cathy Seibel Weinberg allowed Weinberg to file an amended complaint by June 2, and she set a June 23 deadline for Petti to answer the complaint or file a motion to dismiss.

On June 2, Weinberg filed to dismiss his case against Petti. Eighteen days later, his new case was filed against Christie’s.

“The risks associated with over-thecounter birth control pills are similar to those of prescription birth control pills, including an increased risk of blood clots, stroke and heart attack. However, the risk of these complications is still very low, and the benefits of birth control pills generally outweigh the risks. Nonetheless, it’s still important to speak with your health-care provider before starting birth control to go over any potential side effects.”

On May 9, a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) panel of advisory regulators voted unan imously to approve the first nonprescrip tion birth control pill in the United States.

The contraceptive pill, Opill, available for the past 50 years here but only by prescription. (More than 100 other countries offer over-the-counter birth con trol pills.) If the FDA approves this use over the summer, as expected, this nonprescrip tion birth control could be in pharmacies by the end of the year.

While that outcome could expand accessible, individual contraception nation wide, it would do so amid continuing politi cal and cultural tensions over reproductive care in a post-Roe landscape. Along with the sociocultural challenges of over-thecounter birth control, there are the medical risks that all birth control pills carry — although the FDA panel concluded that the benefits far outweigh those risks and that

To help us understand the further implications of the FDA’s decision, we’ve turned to Molly McBride, M.D., a board-certified gynecologist at Elite Gynecology, where she handles the health needs of female patients ages 16 to 80, from birth control counseling to hormone replacement therapy, taking a holistic approach.

What are the risks, and are those

Some critics argue that all birth control pills carry risks and that couples should use condoms, with the responsibility for birth control shifted to men.

Your response?

“While all birth control methods carry some risks, including condoms, birth control pills are a highly effective form of contraception when used correctly. It’s important for individuals to have access to a range of birth control options so that they can choose the method that works best for them.”

What would be your advice to young women who are about to begin their sexual lives?

“My advice to young women would be to educate themselves about the different types of birth control available and to choose a method that works best for them. It’s also important to practice safe sex by using condoms to prevent sexually transmitted infections and to communicate openly with partners about sexual health and boundaries.”

Fairfield Chamber of Commerce honors community contributors

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

The clubhouse of the historic Brooklawn Country Club was abuzz on the night of June 28 for the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce’s 77th awards ceremony recognizing community contributions and business successes.

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal made a surprise appearance at the event as the networking cocktail hour came to a close, praising the night’s honorees and presenting them with Certificates of Special Recognition from the U.S. Senate.

“These are real grassroots organizations and people,” Blumenthal told the audience. “Leaders who have done so much for the community, and they provide leadership by example. I have been so inspired by the stories I have heard about the Woofgang Team and the Pet Pantry, and of course Fairfield and Sacred Heart (Universities).”

“But the main reason I’m here really is to say: thank you,” Blumenthal added. “Small business has been through a tough time and your resilience and resolve has been really inspiring. The federal government has provided some resources, the Paycheck Protection Program, the Shut Venue Operator Grant Program and the restaurant revitalization program. That was a lot of money. But what it has taken is your courage and your strength to get through this really tough period.”

Blumenthal noted that the gathering was the first since the start of the Covid pandemic that he had attended.

“What it has taken is your courage, and your strength to get through this really tough period,” he said.

The night’s awards were presented during the dessert course and Fairfield Chamber of Commerce President Beverly Balaz joked, “We took all the carbs and sugar out so you’re free to eat everything.”

Members of the chamber’s board highlighted the many contributions of the business community to Fairfield’s overall success in weathering the pandemic and the efforts of the individuals that made the chamber a valuable resource through difficult times.

“As the chamber president, I want to acknowledge those local businesses,” Balaz said of the importance of recognizing the hard work of local businesses. “They don’t have the cash behind them that the bigger corporations have to ride through tough economic times. They have to reach into

the bank account and pull it out, and yet they’re there every day to serve the town of Fairfield and the surrounding communities.”

“We all went through a lot during Covid,” said Fairfield First Selectwoman Brenda Kupchick, echoing the members of the board. “But as someone who was just four months into office and the health director came around the corner and says, ‘I think we have a problem’ the ball just started rolling from there.”

“Besides obviously trying to keep everyone alive in our town, making sure that our businesses also stayed alive was crucially important to me,” Kupchick added, noting she and her husband understood the challenges involved with running a business even under normal circumstances from their 35 years running Kupchick Heating & Cooling.

The honorees were presented with not only their awards from the chamber and the Senatorial Special Recognitions, but also with proclamations from the town’s state legislators and citations from the town government.

Fairfield University and Sacred Heart University were recognized with Economic Impact Awards. They were accepted by Mark R. Nemec and Robin I. Cautin, the president of Fairfield University and provost of Sacred Heart University respectively.

Pet Pantry was recognized by the Chamber as Company of the Year. Executive Vice President Adam Jacobsen accepted the award on behalf of the more than 70-yearold family-owned business.

Team Woofgang & Co., which provides vocational training to adults with disabilities through crafting handmade dog treats was recognized as Nonprofit of the Year.

Kelly Maffei, co-founder, and Aimee Turner, executive director, accepted the award.

Nicole Kelman of New England Education Consultants was recognized as the Volunteer of the Year for her many contributions to the Fairfield chamber of Commerce.

Congratulations were extended to Joanmarie Zoeller, the chairwoman of the Fairfield Emerging Leaders Organization 2022-2023, for helping the rebranded Young Professionals Group provide scholarships to emerging talents among Fairfield students pursuing a business degree.

John M. Rosenau of Moneco Advisors was recognized for his long years of service as a member of the Chamber’s board of directors. Current Board Chairman Kevin P. Brady of MJP Wealth Advisors was recognized for his work prior to the completion of his term at the end of June.

Abruzzo, Italy, steps into the wine spotlight

BY DOUG PAULDING

Abruzzo is something special to experience. Bounded by the Adriatic Sea to the east and the towering Apeninne Mountains to the west, it is largely isolated from other parts of Italy, with a culture, winemaking and lifestyle that have been largely self-reliant, agricultural, insular and family-centric. Before my recent trip there, I researched the region in a few well-known books. Hugh Johnson’s 1994 “The World Atlas of Wine” dedicated half a sentence to the wines of Abruzzo. The 2002

Culinary Institute of America’s “Exploring Wine” covers Abruzzo in three short paragraphs. And Doug Frost’s 2001 book “On Wine” states, “Going south from here (the Marches region) is like heading into the Ozarks of Italy…these remote spots are even more ridiculed.” Well, today, everything has changed.

There have been many tunnels constructed for rail and highway traffic, connecting isolated villages to one another. In 1984, the 6.3-mile tunnel under the Gran Sasso Mountain in the Apennine range –which has 21 ski areas and Europe’s southernmost glacier – was completed, linking Abruzzo and the Adriatic to Rome. The Gran Sasso Tunnel would become the longest contained tunnel in Italy and 12th longest in the world – bringing this high, rural area together with the cities and allowing for the easy transport of commerce and ideas. (The entire region is 52 miles wide, with elevations from sea level to the peak of Gran Sasso of 9,554 feet. For comparison, Vermont’s elevations range from 95 feet above sea level to 4,393 feet over a much larger area.)

Wine and olive oil have been produced in Abruzzo since pre-Roman times, dating from 600 years B.C. For centuries this was all consumed locally. Far more recently, farmers who owned vineyards banded together to grow and harvest their grapes, bringing them to a cooperative winery that would fashion the grapes into wine largely for local consumption. But as in most other regions, these cooperatives paid the grape growers by the kilogram for the delivery, which encouraged fat, over-produced, uninteresting grapes. Then a few visionary producers began their move by planting vineyards in supportive soil, elevations and

orientations and started crafting their own wines. As in the Languedoc region of southern France, the weather makes embracing organic, sustainable vineyard practices rather easy. Adriatic breezes blow off any morning dew, discouraging fungal problems. The mountain breezes mitigate the summer heat. Indeed, the dramatic diurnal temperature swings are ideal to promote that coveted grape hang time that enhances structure and nuance in the grape.

Most of the wineries we visited and winemakers I spoke to are embracing natural vineyard practices and unmanipulated wines in the winery. Many are using no oak or other wood aging, which lets the fruit speak for itself. Emidio Pepe winery still employs foot treading for its white wines, something I have not currently seen outside of Portugal. We visited the winery, still overseen by Pepe himself, now in his 90s. He planted Montepulciano, Trebbiano and Pecorino grapes decades ago and gradually turned things over to his two daughters. The business is now morphing into the hands of two of his granddaughters — Elisa de Iulis Pepe, who handles promotion and public relations; and Chiara de Iulis Pepe, who deals with the vineyard and winery, although both move as necessary well beyond their job descriptions. Both are passionate about their direction in crafting and promoting fine wine. The Pepe vineyard is also an Agriturismo destination in Italy, with a restaurant and rooms for vino turisticos. Its wines are pure, flavorful and organically produced. I had the brilliant opportunity to taste many of the wines from Abruzzo and talk to the winemakers or owners about their history and their wines, and everyone had a unique, inspired story. Abruzzo is a land to be discovered as

it is emerging from the shadows of many other well- known Italian regions and is as yet relatively undiscovered. I visited quiet villages and towns that are far from being overrun by tourists. I swam in the pristine Adriatic Sea. Abruzzo is old. Abruzzo is historic. And yet it feels like Abruzzo is just being born as it presents itself and its wines to the world. Planted vineyard land in Napa Valley now tops $550,000 an acre, sometimes considerably more. In Burgundy, the price is higher at $600,000 per acre, with the Grand Cru vineyards topping out at $2 million per acre. In Italy, Barolo vineyards can range from $120,000 to $800,000 per acre. This makes the relatively recent and relatively unknown Abruzzo a complete steal at somewhere around $30,000 per acre and ensures that the region will be garnering international attention as a place to purchase vineyard land and bring in established money and known talent to make wines for the world palate.

In Abruzzo, the reds, whites, sparklers and Rosés, known as Cerasuolos, are full of attractive, honest and authentic flavors and are capable of aging to a better place. Today, most stores and restaurants locally have a rather meager inventory of wines from Abruzzo. With certainty this will change. Ask your local sommelier or wine store purveyor for some of the better wines of the area. And pay attention to what goes on there in the next couple of decades. Or better yet, buy several cases of whites, reds and even some Cerasuolos from Abruzzo and put them down in a cool, dark place. Open a bottle every now and then and see how they grow and evolve over time. The time to discover Abruzzo is now.

Tips for a pest-free summer

BY JIM MCHALE

Along with the sunny days and warm weather, pesky bugs like mosquitoes, ticks, stinging insects, carpenter ants, termites and those dreaded spotted lanternflies https:// www.nytimes.com/article/spotted-lanternflies-nyc.html are out in full force this season and can quickly turn a relaxing summer day into a frustrating battle.

Last winter’s mild temperatures enabled overwintering pests to survive and thrive, so pest activity is expected to be higher this summer than in previous years. But fear not. With a few simple preventive measures, you can still enjoy a pest-free summer:

TICKS

It’s important to note that one in three tick bites occurs in the homeowner’s yard. So always remember that you are vulnerable to contracting a tick bite whenever you are outside gardening, hiking, camping or even just playing in the yard with your dog. You can protect your pets, children — and yourself — from tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease by taking the following measures:

• Wear appropriate clothing: Dress in light-colored, long-sleeved shirts, long pants and closed-toe shoes in areas with tall grass or woods.

• Perform tick checks: Thoroughly inspect your body, clothing and pets after spending time outdoors. Promptly remove any ticks that may have latched on.

• Create a tick-free yard: Regularly mow your lawn, remove leaf litter and create a barrier with wood chips or gravel between wooded areas and your yard.

• Bring in the professionals: Organic tick treatments applied by a professional can effectively

MOSQUITOES

Mosquitoes are responsible for five cases of domestically acquired malaria –four in Florida, one in Texas – which we haven’t seen in the United States since 2003. wired.com. In the Northeast, all we have to worry about is mosquitoes turning an outdoor gathering into an itchy nightmare. Keep your outdoor parties itch-free and relaxed by eliminating mosquito attractants from your backyard:

• Remove standing water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, so empty and clean containers that collect water, such as flowerpots, birdbaths and buckets.

• Maintain gutters: Ensure that gutters are clean and free of debris to prevent water accumulation.

• Install screens: Fit windows and doors with screens to keep mosquitoes out of your home.

• Bring in the professionals: Organic mosquito applications are highly recommended. Applied by an expert, these treatments can target harboring sites such as standing water, shady and damp areas and the perimeter of your property.

STINGING INSECTS

Nothing can ruin an outdoor gather-

• Avoid excessive fragrances: Strong perfumes, scented lotions and bright-colored clothing can attract stinging insects. Opt for unscented products and neutral clothing.

• Be cautious of nests: Common nesting sites include ceiling beams in attics, sheds, inside barbecues and under eaves and decks. Before hosting an outdoor party, you should thoroughly inspect these areas for stinging insects.

• Bring in the professionals: Stinging insect protection and management can help eliminate wasps and hornets from outdoor living spaces.

CARPENTER ANTS

The ants are marching one by one, so beware, beware. This year's rainy spring and rainy start to summer have helped carpenter ants thrive and multiply. Prevent an infestation by taking the following precautions:

• Eliminate moisture sources: Repair leaking pipes, improve ventilation and ensure proper drainage to reduce moisture levels that attract carpenter ants.

• Store firewood properly: Keep firewood away from your home and elevated from the ground to deter carpenter ants from nesting.

• Bring in the professionals: Seeing one or two carpenter ants doesn't always mean there's a nest in your home. Don't panic if you spot them, as this might just be a stray ant or two. However, if you start seeing winged ants or see them consistently, this could be a sign of a bigger issue and then it's best to take action and call in the professionals for ant management and elimination.

TERMITES

Termites are silent destroyers that can

wreak havoc on your property and cause thousands of dollars in repairs. Protect your home with these preventive measures:

• Remove moisture: Similar to mosquitoes, termites are attracted to moisture-rich environments. Ensure proper ventilation in your home's crawl spaces, attics and basements to reduce humidity levels. By controlling moisture levels, you can discourage a termite infestation.

• Remove wood-to-soil contact: Termites thrive on easy access to food sources, particularly wood, so remove any wood-to-soil contact around your property. This includes firewood, wooden debris and tree stumps. Store firewood away from your home, elevated from the ground and at least 20 feet from the house.

• Bring in the professionals: Regular termite inspections are necessary to prevent and control termites. A professional can identify early signs of termite activity and recommend appropriate treatments and preventive measures.

SPOTTED LANTERNFLIES

They’re back: Spotted lanternflies have made their return and are ready to cause further destruction to botanicals and the American agricultural economy, which is why you’re supposed to squash them if you see them. With the early onset of warmer weather, these invasive black-andred spotted pests are predicted to become adults sooner than usual, creating even more havoc. Therefore, it’s vital to follow measures that will mitigate against spotted lanternflies, including the following:

• Scrape off egg masses: Some of the hotspots for spotted lanternflies are tree trunks, outdoor furniture, playgrounds, building walls and even vehicles. Because the insects are reproducing at an alarming rate, removing egg masses will help to keep the numbers down. Egg masses vary in size but appear similar to gray patches of mud or cement.

Wishing you a happy and pest-free summer.

A new steakhouse needs a little more seasoning

BY JEREMY WAYNE jwayne@westfairinc.com

I’m exhausted. Not from the heat, which is sweeping vast swathes of the country, nor – remarkably – from over-overeating, which I agree can certainly be an exhausting thing. No, I’m breathless from reading “Iron Chef” David Burke’s resumé. Restaurateur, businessman, artist, art collector; philanthropist, author, educator, beekeeper and more, this tireless titan operates some 18 restaurants along the East Coast of the United States and Saudi Arabia as part of David Burke Hospitality Management.

The latest of which is Red Horse by David Burke, an American steak house with Asian influences, occu pying what was the site of BLT Steak in the also former Ritz-Carlton New York, Westchester – now The Opus Westchester – in downtown White Plains.

Burke, so his website goes on to inform, is “a rock star of the culinary world.”

Phew. That preamble over, it’s time to put the meat in the sandwich, which is something Burke, or at least his Red Horse chef de cuisine, must likely say several times a morning, since there is quite a lot of meat in a number of sandwiches on Red Horse’s tempting lunchtime menu.

But before the meat, let’s talk about bread. Specifically, popovers. Because Red Horse’s gruyère popovers, a Burke specialty, are a wondrous thing. They come standing up like giant mushrooms, a crisp outer crust giving way to a pillowy, soft inside. Served with two husks of jalapeno cornbread, you could feast on these breads and the accompanying sweet butter as a last supper and die happy.

“Clothesline” bacon, strips of crisp, maple-glazed bacon, meanwhile, brought to the table hanging on a miniature clothesline frame, is another Burke special, one that still draws gasps of delight from diners seeing it for the first time, or even the umpteenth.

Like any steakhouse worth its Himalayan Salt – I say this advisedly – oysters have a home on the menu, either “naked” in David Burke parlance with a cucumber and apple

crabmeat and served with pickled vegetables. Shrimp comes with avocado or in spring rolls, with a tangy Thai peanut sauce.

Wedge salad – that mainstay of the steakhouse, the support band before the main act – makes a welcome appearance in the “Appetizers” section, as do avocado and salmon crostini and a tuna and salmon tartare. My guests and I enjoyed each over a couple of visits. Less successful were lobster dumplings, the precious lobster meat minced almost into a paste and the dumpling itself, in the shape of a drawstring pouch, doughy and undercooked above the “tie.”

That Himalayan salt: Burke holds a patent for his Himalayan Salt beef-aging process and his love affair with the mineral – actually mined from the Punjab region of Pakistan – is crystal clear, if you’ll pardon the pun. Great panels of the pink stuff form the long, back wall of the red and white restaurant and there is a brick of it on each table, which acts as a stand for the salt and pepper grinders.

We had no need of any further season-

and sesame tuna salads, each one fresh and generous. Either, incidentally, would make for a satisfying and relatively inexpensive one-course lunch, but then again, so would those sandwiches I mentioned earlier. A crisp Korean fried chicken sandwich, with a punchy gochujang mayonnaise, and an open-face bison short rib sandwich, a massive flavor hit with its onions “three ways,” are both on the money. (A sushi menu and changing daily specials are also available midday.)

In the evening, salads are supplemented with more obviously elaborate starters, like lobster scrambled eggs with caviar, and octopus and chorizo kabobs –always a winning combination, although for my part I have given up octopus for good after watching Craig Foster’s 2020 Academy Award-winning documentary, “My Octopus Teacher.”

If it has taken a dozen paragraphs to get to the steaks themselves, which are surely the raison d’être of any steakhouse, it is only because the dishes leading up to them were so darn good. So perhaps there was a certain inevitability that our choice

from the section of the menu described as “Steakhouse” was something of an anticlimax. A 20-ounce dry-aged ribeye, at a not- insignificant $74 (for one), came rare as ordered and nicely charred but was nevertheless not the tender, flavorful cut we felt the menu promised. French fries were wilting rather than crisp. Cream spinach – that glorious side dish when properly done, and which should accompany any steak – was ordered but forgotten, an oversight but still, and following a prompt to the server was brought too late to be enjoyed. Served in an attractive rectangular tray, resembling a large sardine can, it was drowned with melted cheese, not a component of classic creamed spinach.

(The dish was later removed from the

The steak, by the way, came with a branded, David Burke steak knife, which was actually a miniature cleaver, and one of a growing number of Burke-branded products for sale, including cookware, bakeware and steak sauce. Although fun to look at – if mildly threatening – it was a little unwieldy to use. Another slight quibble regarding silverware at Red Horse was that every time you placed your knife and fork on a round plate between mouthfuls, the utensils would slide into the middle of the plate – and often the sauce.

I have other quibbles, too – a crème brûlée dessert with a partly-warm caramelized lid but a fridge-cold interior; a stained coffee cup; “iced” water that was not iced and – most problematic perhaps – service that on a couple of occasions evaporated towards the end of the meal, so that for quite long stretches no server was present in the dining room.

That is a pity, because with its arresting interior design, including horse sculptures and prints, “Hermès”-style bridle motifs, comfortable white leather chairs and a bright aspect facing the Renaissance Square fountains, this is a very good restaurant that could be great.

And still a relative newcomer, perhaps under Burke’s expert eye it yet will be.

Dutchess doctors and nurse implicated in $4M insider trading scheme

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

Four doctors and a nurse who practice at a Poughkeepsie hospital have been implicated in an insider trading scheme that allegedly netted them and other participants $4 million.

Doctors Slava (Stanley) Kaplan and Paul Feldman and three co-defendants were charged with criminal securities fraud in an indictment unsealed on June 29 in U.S. District Court, Manhattan. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission simultaneously filed a civil action against the criminal defendants.

Both actions refer to five named defendants and six unnamed individuals who also participated, including two doctors and a nurse who worked at the Poughkeepsie hospital.

Kaplan, 45, of Hopewell Junction, is a pulmonologist affiliated with Vassar Brothers Medical Center, according to online profiles. Feldman, 48, of Poughquag, Dutchess County, is a nephrologist at the hospital.

Both men pled not guilty at their arraignment. Their attorneys — Rachel Maimin for Kaplan and Michael Bachner for Feldman — declined to comment on the accusations.

The feds describe a scheme in which Joseph Dupont, a vice president at Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc., Boston, shared sensitive, non-public information about Alexion’s plan to buy Portola Pharmaceuticals Inc. of San Francisco.

The participants, according to the criminal and civil actions, bought Portola stock and call options before the acquisition was announced when stock, for instance, was trading about $6.41 to $7.14 per share. After the announcement, when shares traded around $18, they allegedly sold their interests and reaped huge profits.

The scheme as depicted in court filings unfolded as a kind of relationship daisy chain: An insider shares sensitive information with a close friend, who shares the information with another friend, who shares it with a relative and a colleague, who shares it with two relatives and four colleagues.

Dupont, 44, of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, was Alexion’s vice president of business operations. Around January 2020, he began working on an analysis of whether Alexion could do a better job commercializing one of Portola’s drugs.

That spring, the pharmaceutical companies began discussing a deal whereby Alexion would buy Portola for $18 per share and announce the deal on May 4.

Dupont allegedly tipped off a childhood

friend, Shawn P. Cronin, 43, of Dighton, Massachusetts. Cronin was a sergeant in the Dighton police department, supervised Dupont as a reserve officer, and later became its police chief.

Cronin, according to the feds, tipped off Kaplan, a friend of his and Dupont, “so that Kaplan could trade in advance of the acquisition” and “assist Cronin in formulating trading strategies to maximize Cronin’s own insider trading profits.”

Kaplan tipped off a relative and Feldman, a colleague at the hospital, according to court documents. Then Feldman tipped off two relatives, two doctors and a nurse at the hospital, and another colleague.

The Portola announcement was delayed by a day, to May 5. The share price quickly increased from $7.76 to $17.91, or 131%.

The friends, colleagues and relatives began selling and reaping.

Generally, the farther away a participant was from the original tip, the more money they made.

The civil and criminal actions are silent on whether Dupont, the insider, made any money on the Portola deal. His childhood friend, police chief Shawn Cronin, made $72,000. Cronin tipped off Kaplan, who made $472,100. Kaplan tipped off Feldman, who made $1,730,800, according to the SEC.

Collectively, Cronin, Kaplan, and Feldman allegedly spent $364,400 and

Rockland lawyer demands $1.75M for busted email account

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

ARockland lawyer is suing Microsoft Corp. for $1.75 million for allegedly failing to fix a balky email service.

David M. Schlachter and his law firm accused Microsoft of tortious business dealings, in a complaint filed last month in Rockland Supreme Court and moved on June 24 to U.S. District Court, White Plains.

“Mr. Schlachter cannot run his law office blind,” the complaint states. “He is now possibly facing such issues as clients leaving the office, ethics violations being brought against him for not responding to communications, missing filing deadlines, and the like.”

WE Communications, a media relations firm that represents Microsoft, acknowl-

edged an email asking for a response to the allegations but did not immediately provide a statement.

Schlachter is based in Suffern and practices in state, bankruptcy, and federal district courts in New York and New Jersey. He focuses on real estate and estate matters such as loan modifications, foreclosures and probate.

In 2010, he began using Microsoft Office 365, a free service that included email and a website. He switched to another web hosting service in 2017, when Microsoft started charging for its service, but he paid to keep his Microsoft Outlook account.

On May 10, when he tried to get his emails, he was asked to verify his account via a text message or phone call placed to his cell phone. But when he tried to do so, according to the complaint, Microsoft was unable to authenticate his account.

Schlachter says could no longer retrieve emails or log into his administrative portal. When he called Microsoft, he was allegedly put on hold for three hours and then told he had to contact the business technical service team.

A case was opened on May 12, but for four days, he claims, he waited on hold on the customer support line for three to five hours at a time until the line went dead. When he eventually reached someone on May 15, he was promised a call back by noon.

“No one called him,” the complaint states.

On May 16, the business technical support team allegedly promised to fix the problem in 24 to 36 hours.

Schlachter says he called back twice a day over the next five days, only to be told they were working on it and the problem would be resolved soon.

made $2,274,900 in profit.

Unnamed relatives and colleagues spent $430,500 and netted $1,726,900.

Cronin also allegedly tipped off another friend, Jarett G. Mendoza, 44, of North Dighton, a sales director for a medical devices company. Mendoza, who allegedly invested $25,000 and collected a $38,600 profit, cooperated with investigators and pled guilty.

A year ago, AstraZeneca bought Alexion. Even after the Portola announcement, the feds claim, Kaplan and Feldman tried to get more insider information.

Feldman allegedly texted Kaplan in Russian, ten days after the announcement, “Let’s hope our golden goose will continue laying golden eggs!”

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority noticed the well-timed trades and began investigating.

Feldman allegedly texted a colleague that Kaplan “thinks he’s going to jail.” He allegedly added, “I got a good tip. No one called me when I lost a ton of $ on [a prior investment]. … So f*** them all. The world isn’t fair. … We use any edge we can get.”

The SEC is asking the court to compel Cronin, Kaplan, Feldman and Mendoza to disgorge all ill-gotten gains.

The various criminal fraud charges carry maximum prison sentences ranging from five to 25 years.

As of May 24, when the lawsuit was filed in Rockland Supreme Court, Schlachter claims the problem had not been fixed. Subsequent filings there, and in federal court where the case was moved on June 24, do not say whether the problem has been fixed in the past five weeks.

Schlachter states in a May 24 affidavit that the email account is vital to his law practice.

He uses the account to file cases and make payments and to communicate with clients, judges, adversaries, colleagues and court officials.

“I have been locked out since May 10, 2023,” he stated. “There is no reason why Microsoft cannot remedy this immediately.”

He is demanding $750,000 “for loss of business, risk of business and ethical and professional licenses,” and $1 million in punitive damages “for wantonly delaying the simple remedy of aiding one single email access.”

Microsoft is represented by Manhattan attorney Michael Lieberman. Schlachter is representing himself.

Initial renovations completed at Lennon Park

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

The first phase of renovations at the city park named after former Yonkers Mayor James Lennon that is located on 5.4 acres at Lake and Park avenue in Yonkers has been completed. At a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the

new basketball court and other improvements, Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano practiced his basketball skills with students from the nearby Sacred Heart High School, scoring at least one basket.

"Since 2012, we have actually renovated more than two-dozen parks," Spano said. "That can't happen unless the City Council is willing to put the dollars in. They put the dollars in the budget."

"This park is a memorialization of one of the most influential figures in Yonkers history," Parks Commissioner Steve Sansone said. "James Lennon in the late 1800s was the son of Irish immigrants. He worked in the carpet mills and owned a drug store on Ashburton Avenue. In 1909, he was elected to the mayoralty in Yonkers where he served four consecutive terms. This park is the cornerstone of the Lake

Avenue corridor."

Sansone said that more improvements are planned at the park. The expenditure so far is $375,000 with a $34,000 donation from the Yonkers Rotary Club. In addition to the basketball court and soccer area, the park's facilities include three baseball diamonds, a softball Little League diamond, open grass areas, benches and playgrounds.

The city of Yonkers has released its first-ever Climate Action Plan, which outlines steps the city plans to take to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while improving the health of residents, enhancing the natural environment, creating new jobs and strengthening the economic viability of local businesses.

"By embracing sustainable practices and investing in a greener future, we are doing our part to strengthen our city’s resiliency against climate change,” Mayor Mike Spano said. “This plan will help us to form equitable strategies to lower emissions, keep our city energy efficient, and lower climate risk for future generations of our residents.”

The 158-page plan took a year to create. It calls for creating incentives for green businesses to operate in Yonkers, assisting existing business in reducing their carbon footprints, and starting a green jobs training program. The plan calls for the city to plant at least 5,000 new trees by 2050 in parks, community spaces and other public places. Programs would be developed to help deal with

flooding in sections of the city. The plan calls for the city to promote increased energy efficiency in all public and private

buildings and expand the use of renewable energy sources.

The plan sets the goal of reaching

zero greenhouse gas emissions in Yonkers by 2050. It points out that from 2012 to the present, Yonkers has decreased municipal energy use by 26% and decreased its oil consumption by 13%.

The plan points out that last year the city partnered with Sustainable Westchester to provide residents with access to electricity from 100% renewable sources through the existing Con Ed grid. More than 7,500 households enrolled in the program last year, mitigating over 25,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases. This past April, Spano announced plans to increase the number of electric vehicle charging stations to 90.

While developing the Climate Action Plan, city officials heard from residents at community workshops, roundtables and meetings with Groundwork Hudson Valley’s Climate Safe Yonkers Task Force.

The plan states that it is "preparing Yonkers for a greener, more prosperous, and equitable future. This plan provides a roadmap to getting there, outlining actions for the next two to ten years." The plan states that just as the city did not create the Climate Action Plan alone, it does not intend to act alone in taking the steps that are called for and intends to work collaboratively with the Yonkers community.

Burgess honored with bridge re-dedication

BY PETER KATZ Pkatz@westfairinc.com

Apedestrian bridge that connects Yonkers City Hall with the Cacace Justice Center on Nepperhan Avenue has been re-dedicated in honor of former City Council Member Joseph E. Burgess Jr. During the re-dedication ceremony, a permanent plaque on the bridge was unveiled to honor Burgess. The bridge was first dedicated as a memorial to Burgess in a ceremony on June 5, 1995, but there was no permanent plaque installed at that time.

In 1983, Burgess became the first African American to be elected to the Yonkers City Council. In 1992, he was appointed as the city’s deputy human resources commissioner. His former colleagues have praised him for his work to help ensure that the

voices of African Americans were heard and represented in the decision-making process and for his efforts to promote social justice, equality, and diversity in the city. Burgess died in April of 1995 at age 58.

Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano characterized Burgess as a man who "paved the way for future generations of African Americans in our city.” Spano said the re-dedication of the bridge "is an opportunity for us to collectively honor and celebrate his life and legacy, and to renew our commitment to the values of diversity, inclusion, and social justice."

Former Yonkers City Council President Vincenza A. Restiano said,"Joseph E. Burgess was a gentleman, statesman and a voice of reason during the most tumultuous times in Yonkers history. It was an honor to serve with him on the council and most fitting that the city recognize his place in history.”

Understanding Connecticut's new commercial real estate receivership law

BY JUSTIN MCGOWN jmcgown@westfairinc.com

Anew law concerning the creation of receiverships for cases involving commercial real estate in Connecticut went into effect on July 1.

The law, which closely follows a draft proposal put forward by the nonprofit Uniform Law Commission (ULC), will update rules and procedures in Connecticut regarding situations where receiverships are required for commercial properties that are the subject of legal disputes.

“The bill was designed to fill several gaps in our statutes concerning the rules for the appointment and powers of receiverships over commercial matters,” said State Rep. Steven Stafstrom, the sponsor of the 2021 bill proposing the act.

Stafstrom, who represents House District 129 in Bridgeport, is also the chairman of the Judiciary Committee and an attorney at Pullman & Comley, LLC.

“Among the things it does is establish rules for appointing a receiver, including when a court is authorized to appoint one, what a receiver’s powers and duties are, and what the duties of the owner of

a property in receivership is,” Stafstrom said, noting it also clarifies when a receiver can operate as a stay on certain court proceedings.

Receiverships are set up during legal disputes — typically involving repayment of loans — over commercial real estate to maintain services to tenants. They are entitled to the rent that would typically be collected by the property owner in return for maintaining tenants, access and fulfilling other terms of the lease.

Connecticut joins 11 other states in enacting a version of the Uniform Commercial Real Estate Receivership Act (UCRERA) as proposed by the ULC. The organization proposes many bills to U.S. states and administrative regions, with the goal of implementing laws, which are both best practices in the related fields while reducing confusion and ambiguity arising from differences in state law.

In the case of the Connecticut implementation of UCRERA, the law will also have important implications within the state.

“It’s not just the predictability across state borders,” said John Loughnane, a partner in the business department at White and William LLP in Boston. “The

sponsors of these uniform laws definitely try to promote predictability across state borders so there’s generally the same rules of the road as you move from state to state, that’s definitely helpful.”

“But,” continued Loughnane, “I would say that just as helpful is promoting uniformity within a state. What you have here with commercial real estate receiverships in states that have not adopted this act is a lot of unpredictability from judge to judge, from court to court and from case to case within the state.”

Loughnane described the current system as being one where judges are largely left to make their own decisions, which can occasionally benefit one party or another in disputes over commercial real estate loans.

“I’d say that the greatest benefit is promoting uniformity within Connecticut as to the use of receiverships,” Loughnane said. “The values are the virtues of a predictable set of rules that promote consistency, try to curtail cost, and promote transparency. It can be good for everybody involved, including the borrowers or the lenders, unsecured creditors or other parties that may be affected by a distressed party. It’s good for the court

system – frankly, it’s good for the lawyers as well.”

“The immediate effect you are going to see from this,” added Steven Coury, who is also a partner at White and Williams, "is that lenders are going to now put a provision in their loan documents that specifically authorizes the appointment of a receiver under the exact terms of the law. That’s going to change immediately. By putting this specifically into a mortgage or the loan agreement you now have the right to appoint the receiver.”

Coury noted that rules like this may be welcome by many under current economic conditions, saying “office owners now don’t have the rental incomes that they once did. They can’t service the mortgages that were entered into several years ago and they don’t want to put in more equity to save the property. At the same time you do have existing tenants who have their needs. You have to keep the lights on, you have to keep the grass cut. You have to service those tenants.”

Under the terms of Connecticut’s UCRECA, the terms of receiverships in place prior to July 1 will not be altered, but all established after that date must adhere to the new law.

Some Things Change. Some Don’t.

What changes

Technology is changing faster than ever. Heavy equipment and the software in it is more complex and can do more for you: GPS, remote control, artificial intelligence. It’s no longer enough to operate equipment. Today and in the future, you have to understand it.

What stays the same

IUOE Local 825 has always kept pace with change. In 2022, we got ahead of it. Our nationally known training center became accredited as a technical college.

This means our engineers are schooled in more than operating heavy equipment. They are learning to maintain and even develop software that runs it, rather than being dependent on it.

Think ahead

Our goal is to stay relevant in a changing world, continuing to offer the most highly trained, skilled and experienced operators available anywhere. Today. And tomorrow.

The combined company will operate as Ellington Financial Inc. and its shares will continue to trade on the NYSE under Ellington Financial’s current ticker symbol, “EFC.”

Christmas Tree Shops to close all stores

The discount goods retailer Christmas Tree Shops defaulted on the loan that funded its bankruptcy and will liquidate its remaining 82 stores.

According to a “Wall Street Journal” report, the chain filed for bankruptcy in May and agreed to close 10 underperforming stores, with the goal to exit Chapter 11 by August. The company took out a $45 million bankruptcy loan, including roughly $20 million in fresh capital, from its lenders, but the creditors terminated the loan after Christmas Tree Shops defaulted on the terms due to worsening revenues and liquidity.

The company had four Connecticut stores (Danbury, Manchester, Orange and Waterford) and four Westchester/Hudson Valley sites (Hartsdale, Middletown, Poughkeepsie and Spring Valley).

Cappelli firms say Cushman & Wakefield must cover 3Thirty3 bias costs

BY BILL HELTZEL Bheltzel@westfairinc.com

The Cappelli Organization is demanding that Cushman & Wakefield real estate services cover the costs of a discrimination case brought by the former manager of a New Rochelle apartment building.

Cappelli claims, in a complaint filed June 21 in Westchester Supreme Court, that a Cushman affiliate had agreed to compensate Cappelli for legal actions brought against the 3Thirty3 apartment building.

The 28-story, 285-unit apartment complex at Centre Avenue and Huguenot Street is owned by a Cappelli affiliate based at the company’s headquarters in White Plains.

In 2021, the Cappelli affiliate hired Pinnacle Property Management Services, a Cushman affiliate, to manage and lease 3Thirty3.

Pinnacle agreed to indemnify Cappelli against claims resulting from gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct by

Pinnacle or its employees, according to the complaint.

This past March, former 3Thirty3 property manager Ahouva Steinberg filed an action with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, alleging discrimination by Pinnacle, Cushman and the Cappelli entities.

Steinberg, who was hired by Pinnacle to manage the property, according to the complaint, is gay, Jewish and suffers from asthma.

She claims in the EEOC proceeding that Pinnacle’s regional manager created a hostile workplace. The manager allegedly made derogatory remarks about Jews, made sexually explicit comments, commented on Steinberg’s physical appearance, treated men collegially while treating women with derision, and refused to accommodate Steinberg’s medical condition.

Steinberg claimed in the EEOC case that even before she filed the action Pinnacle knew that the regional manager had a propensity for harassing employees, according

to the Cappelli complaint.

The Cappelli complaint does not take a position on the merits of Steinberg’s EEOC case. Rather, it says it is the Cushman companies’ responsibility to handle the legal costs.

But the Cushman companies allegedly demanded that the Cappelli affiliates unite with them in a joint defense and to limit their reimbursement to $7,000 in attorney fees.

On May 25, the Cappelli companies made another demand for indemnification, the complaint states, but the Cushman companies have not responded.

The Cappelli affiliates accused the Cushman companies of breach of contract, and they are asking the court to make them pay for all costs.

A Cushman spokesman did not reply to an email asking for the firm’s response to the allegations.

The Cappelli firms are represented by White Plains attorneys Alfred E. Donnellan and Nelida Lara.

HEALTH CENTER TO HELP REDUCE DISPARITIES OF HEALTH AMONG WOMEN

Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) in Valhalla recently launched its Center for Women’s Health Equity, a new care program that will address the social, economic, cultural and racial determinants of health that can result in increased maternal morbidity and mortality among women across the Hudson Valley. Supported by a $750,000 New York state grant secured by New York State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin and with the support of New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, the members of the New York State Legislature and Governor Kathy Hochul, the WMCHealth Center for Women’s Health Equity has locations at Westchester Medical Center in Westchester County and another at HealthAlliance Hospital in Ulster County.

The Center for Women’s Health Equity will be the first program of its kind based in New York state’s Hudson Valley region and will have an initial aim of reducing the leading

causes of death among pregnant women by integrating specialists in maternal-fetal medicine, whose expertise is the care of complex medical problems affecting pregnant women, with its heart and vascular program clinicians to take a more proactive and holistic view of elevated risk factors among women, particularly those of color.

“WMCHealth’s vital mission is to provide the highest-quality care for all residents of the Hudson Valley and we expect the Center for Women’s Health Equity to help improve outcomes for the women WMCHealth serves,” said Michael D. Israel, president and CEO, WMCHealth.“We expect the Center for Women’s Health Equity to be a model for other health networks across the country to follow and would like to thank our New York state representatives for having the foresight to make such a significant investment in this important program.”

Addressing maternal mortality is an urgent health risk particularly in the United

States, where in 2021 the mortality rate was 32.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, more than 10 times the estimated rates of some other high-income countries, driven largely by significant disparities in health outcomes experienced by minority women. The situation is especially dire in New York state, where Black, non-Hispanic women are up to five times more likely to die of pregnancy-related causes than White non-Hispanic women.

To ensure resources are available to all women, particularly those at the highest risk, WMCHealth’s Center for Women’s Health Equity will be staffed with multilingual social workers trained in cultural sensitivities who will help women navigate care pathways across WMCHealth and engage with community-based partners for enhanced care. This collaborative approach will result in regular case reviews to determine individualized treatment plans to prevent more complex, and costly, complications down the line.

REALTOR® FOUNDATION’S DONATION

The Hudson Gateway Realtor® Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors®, recently presented a check for $2,500 to Green Chimneys in Putnam County.

Founded in 1947 and headquartered on a farm and wildlife center in Brewster, with a second campus in Carmel, Green Chimneys is recognized as a worldwide leader in animal-assisted therapy and educational activities for children with special needs. Its services include an accredited special education school, residential treatment center, nature-based therapeutic programs, community-based support for youth and families and public education and recreation opportunities

for people of all ages.

“Green Chimneys is so grateful to The Hudson Gateway Realtor® Foundation for their support and commitment to helping us provide vital therapeutic education and services to the children and families across the Hudson Valley region,” said Green Chimneys Executive Director Dr. Ed Placke.

Since 2014, the Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities and nonprofits throughout the Hudson Valley participating in qualified community-based charities that serve the housing, hunger, health, happiness and humane needs of citizens everywhere.

Mamaroneck High School senior Shannon Gallaher and Rye Neck High School senior Kimichika Irie were the winners of the 2023 essay contest and were presented, on June 19, with a $1,000 award for use toward college expenses. Candidates submitted an essay describing their service and the impact it had on the community and themselves.

In reflecting on the submissions, Lina Pasquale, LM Lions incoming president, said “The applicants collectively demonstrated a commitment to serving their local community, in a myriad of ways. These youth are compassionate and caring and further the mission of the Lions by aiding in the betterment of their community….”

The LM Lions are part of Lions Clubs International, the world’s largest service organization of over 1.4 million members who are signatories of the United Nations’ resolutions on women’s and refugee rights and are currently active in Afghanistan and Ukrainian refugee resettlement.

In the coming year, the WMCHealth Center for Women’s Health Equity will expand to include preventative oncological support to address increased risk of breast and gynecological cancers with an emphasis on cervical cancer, which still imposes a high burden on Black and Hispanic populations.

The program is accessible today in Westchester County at 19 Bradhurst Ave. in Hawthorne or by calling 914-493-2250 and in Ulster County at 373 Broadway Ave. in Kingston or by calling 845-303-1132. For additional information, visit WMCHealth.org/ Womens-Health-Equity.

On June 24, the Bruce Museum in Greenwich, debuted the exhibition

“Mark Dion and Alexis Rockman: Journey to Nature’s Underworld,” the first two-person survey of these renowned artists.

A highlight of this show is a one-of-akind, bespoke installation created specifically for the Bruce Museum – a “Cabinet of Curiosity” fashioned from artifacts in the museum’s collection.

The two artists worked closely with the museum’s Collections Manager Tim Walsh to mine the collection. As a team they unearthed objects and curiosities of science and natural history held in the Bruce’s collection and archive while simultaneously exploring the work of the founding Bruce Museum Curators Edward Fuller Bigelow and Paul Griswold Howes. The result is an immersive, physical environment in which visitors can explore the early days of the Bruce Museum and the fascinating lives of these two early 20th Century naturalists.

On July 18, join Dion, Rockman and Walsh as they unpack the cabinet-of-curiosity and reveal what lies within beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 18, in the Gale and Robert H.

“UNLOCKING THE CABINET OF CURIOSITIES”

UNLEASHING THE POWER OF AI

In the fast-paced world of tech investments, astute investors are always on the lookout for companies utilizing cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI). However some investors think that true value lies in visionary companies that offer practical application solutions. Relotis Inc., a groundbreaking startup, has emerged as a game changer in the QR package code space by leveraging AI and machine learning (ML) to engage customers, build loyalty and unlock cross-selling opportunities for retailers, resellers, direct-to-consumer brands, manufacturers and distributors.

Relotis introduces a revolutionary platform that simplifies the process for businesses to create incentives or discounts within the system, which can then be seamlessly printed and affixed to packages during fulfillment. By scanning a Relotis QR code on their package, customers instantly receive personalized marketing and smart engagement messaging, such as incentives, discounts and product information, aimed at inspiring future sales. The platform also offers robust metrics, tracking data and comprehensive engagement tracking and management capabilities.

Relotis projects an impressive revenue of $2 million in its first year of operation, with a projected growth rate of 300% over the next three years. The company aims to achieve profitability within two years of launch, with operating expenses projected at 25% of revenue. By the end of 2023, Relotis plans to reach 10 million scans, costing just $0.20 cents per customer interaction (scans).

Notable industry players have quickly recognized the value of Relotis. Rocketship, a provider of professional logistics services for major Fortune 500 companies, has partnered with Relotis to streamline its shipping, fulfillment and packaging divisions. “Our partnership with Relotis combines logistics and technology expertise,” said Jerad Sorensen, CEO of Rocketship.

SHARED EDUCATIONAL COMMITMENT

The Greenwich Alliance for Education recognized the Greenwich Public School AVID program (advancement via individual determination), celebrating the AVID students, their families, and their teachers from 2013-2023. Held at Arch Street Teen Center in Greenwich on June 10, the event marked 10 years of college dreams made possible by the Greenwich Alliance for Education. Adorning the walls were hundreds of black and white portraits of Greenwich High School AVID students taken over the years by teacher Ken Alcorn to showcase the program’s impact.

The evening’s speeches were inspiring and grateful, looking back at a decade of empowering young minds. AVID began as and continues to be a shared vision and commitment between the Greenwich Alliance and Greenwich Public Schools. A

national college-readiness system, AVID’s mission is to close the education opportunity gap by preparing students for college and career readiness and success in a global society. They graduate and attend college at higher rates than their high school peers. The program was initially funded by a grant from the Alliance in 2008. Greenwich Public Schools now runs the program, although the Alliance continues to support students, teachers and alums through AVID SUCCESS. Greenwich Alliance for Education Executive Director Julie Faryniarz said the event was successful. “We were so thrilled to be together to celebrate the academic achievements of over 300 students in the past decade. It is gratifying to see students who once thought college was not attainable graduate with honors and begin promising futures,” said Faryniarz.

HVCU BOARD ELECTION BANK FOUNDATION’S GENEROSITY AT MORE THAN HALF A MILLION

Grants totaling $515,000 are to be donated to more than 100 Fairfield County nonprofits by First County Bank’s annual CommunityFirst Grant Program.

The focus of the First County Bank Foundation in Stamford is to support Fairfield County nonprofits based within the bank’s footprint, which focus on supporting such critical issues as affordable housing, economic development and educational enrichment for families and children.

Hudson Valley Credit Union (HVCU) held its annual Members Meeting on June 26, at the Boardman Road Branch Library in Poughkeepsie. The following members were elected: Janine S. Daughtry, Karen McFarlane and Jay Pantaleo will each serve a three-year term, and Wesley J. Lee will serve a two-year term.

The Board of Directors also announced its slate of officers for 2023-2024, including Chair of the Board Jay Pantaleo, Vice Chair Keith Baskett, Treasurer Nancy Kappler-Foster, and Secretary Benjamin Smith. Additional directors

are Janine S. Daughtry, Wesley J. Lee, Karen McFarlane, Alisa Swire and Henrietta Akpata who is an associate director.

With more than $6.8 Billion in assets, Hudson Valley Credit Union has been a community partner in the region for 60 years. It serves individuals and businesses in Albany, Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rensselaer, Rockland, Saratoga, Schenectady, Ulster,and Westchester counties with a wide variety of financial services, including investments and insurance. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA and is an Equal Opportunity Lender.

“As local nonprofits continue to be challenged to help address the basic needs of their constituents such as access to affordable housing, nutritious food and a quality education during these tough economic times, First County Bank Foundation is proud to provide annual funding in support of important programs and initiatives,” stated Robert J. Granata, chairman and CEO of First County Bank and president of First County Bank Foundation. “The bank’s board of directors, corporators and employees applaud the resilience and determination of local nonprofit leaders and their teams as they focus on this critical work.”

Established in 2001 in honor of the bank’s 150th anniversary, First County Bank Foundation was created to distribute funds annually to nonprofit organizations that support community and economic development. As a mu-

tual bank with no shareholders, First County Bank considers grants made by its foundation as a means of paying dividends back to the local communities it serves.

Headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, for over 170 years, First County Bank is an independent mutual community bank with 14 branches in Stamford, Norwalk, Darien, Greenwich, Fairfield, New Canaan, and Westport offering deposit products, mortgages, wealth management, business banking services and a full array of digital banking.
