dopt, adapt and improve,” the U.K.’s Prince Edward proclaimed in 1927 — words that a number of business sectors are taking to heart as they try to navigate the ongoing Covid-19 crisis.

But perhaps no sector is implementing that directive as much as the nation’s ailing hotel industry. Due to the virus-related sharp drop in travel demand, state and local tax revenue from hotel operations are expected to plunge by $16.8 billion nationwide — Connecticut is forecast to lose $287.1 million — this year, accord-

as medicine become politicized — weaponized even — in America in the age of the coronavirus? With the World Health Organization and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention under attack for early missteps; controversy over mask-wearing still raging; and the tense relationship between Dr. Anthony Fauci, America’s leading infectious disease expert, and President Donald Trump, medicine would appear to be under siege in the Situation Room and the emergency

room alike. “When did it become acceptable or seemingly the norm to attack the medical community for simply doing our jobs?” plastic surgeon Robert E. Tuchler wrote in a blog post on KevinMD.com, which bills itself as “social media’s leading physician voice.” “I understand that corporations, notably big pharma, and all politicians have inherent biases as profits, constituents and election campaigns influence their agendas.” But, he added, “If our findings and opinions don’t suit partisan, religious or industry needs, we increasingly find ourselves being publicly » DOCTORS

or restaurateurs Mark Cerreta and Peter Prizio, the concept of being in the right place at the wrong time has very special resonance. Cerreta, joined by his brother Michael and business partner Julio Duque, found what they considered to be the perfect location for Za Pizza on Stratford’s busy Barnum Avenue commercial corridor. Prizio, working with his business partner John Taxiltaridis, located their restaurant Metro in Fairfield’s downtown shopping district on the Sanford Street connection between the Metro-North station and Post Road, with the Fairfield Theatre Co. as the nextdoor neighbor. Neither was moving into territory that was unfamiliar to foodies: Metro had replaced Crave, another restaurant that Prizio operated in the same space for the previous five years, while Cerreta moved Za Pizza into a location formerly occupied by the pizza chain Little Caesars. Both Za Pizza and Metro had grand openings that attracted television news cameras and their highly visible settings seemed to ensure they were on the road to success. Alas, being in the right place was not enough for either eatery to defend itself against wrong timing. Both Za Pizza and Metro opened just as news of a strange virus was wreaking havoc in China and finding its way to other parts of the world. “We had a grand opening and closing all within two weeks,” Prizio said. “We had the ribbon cutting in the beginning of March and we closed March 16.” “We did a soft opening on February 10, and then March 10 we had a grand opening,” Cerreta said. “We had Sen. Richard Blumenthal here. We had the balloons up and we had a great day. And then the week after that we did free slices all day. We had all of Stratford High School here and we had lines out the door. Sales took off, but it only lasted two weeks.”

At first, Cerreta felt the pandemic would be a temporary crisis that would be over within four weeks and the eatery could continue with takeout and deliveries. But by mid-April, Cerreta and his partners acknowledged things weren’t working. “Boys were concerned to come into work,” he said. “We were concerned. We didn’t know what was going on. We closed the doors in the middle of April and reopened five weeks later on May 20. And here we are today.” At Metro, Prizio’s focus on New American cuisine didn’t quite lend itself to the abrupt shift to takeout and delivery. “We’re not exactly a takeout restaurant,” he said, “We did a lot of appetizers and sandwiches. We had a base of people coming in for a quick bite before going to the theater. People shopping downtown were able to come in and have a cocktail and a salad. We tried takeout, FCBJ

we did delivery, and some local businesses were trying to help us out.” As with Cerreta, Prizio was forced to close Metro temporarily, reopening on May 20. But whereas the traffic flow on Stratford’s Barnum Avenue kept Za Pizza in front of a stream of drive-by customers, Metro was mostly out of sight to most of its Fairfield audience — especially with far fewer commuters at the adjacent rail station and fewer shoppers downtown. “It’s been very quiet,” Prizio said. “Now, there’s no train service, really — nobody’s going to Manhattan. The theater company next door is closed. There are no universities in town. I’ve never seen Fairfield like this.” Since their respective reopenings, life has been more than a little challenging for the restaurateurs. For Prizio, Metro had to downsize its staff from roughly 30 to about a dozen.

And while it has a few tables on a tiny outdoor patio, its dining room can only operate at 50% capacity. “But you know, if people come it’s a blessing,” he said. Still, Prizio has some degree of good news — he also co-owns the seafood restaurant Boca in Bridgeport, whose spacious patio overlooking the Long Island Sound has been bringing in larger crowds than Metro has attracted to date. For Cerreta, staffing involves 10 individuals working staggered shifts on a part-time basis. Cerreta’s partner Duque, who ran his own pizza eatery in Southbury before taking charge of the Za Pizza kitchen, the pandemic protocol on face masks has not made his life more pleasant. “Cooking all day wearing the mask is a little tougher, that’s for sure,” Duque said. “Especially these last few days it’s been so humid and hot.”

Developers say The Flats at Westchester well-positioned for post-Covid era BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

he Flats at Westchester, a $95 million, 303-apartment project proposed next to an office park in White Plains, could unintentionally benefit from the aftereffects of the Covid-19 pandemic. RPW Group of Rye Brook and The NRP Group of Cleveland, Ohio, plan to break ground next month as city dwellers have begun moving to the suburbs to escape crowded conditions that favor the spread of the virus. The developers could not have foreseen the pandemic and economic crisis when the project was conceived years ago, and no one knows the eventual consequences of the crises. “Hopefully the pandemic will be in the rearview mirror,” when The Flats opens for occupancy in 2022, Andrew S. Weisz, executive vice president of RPW told the Business Journal. But regardless of long-term trends, according to Weisz and Jonathan Gertman, a vice president of NRP Group, The Flats will be well poised for changing conditions. The project is at 1133 Westchester Ave., near the intersection of Interstate 287 and Hutchinson River Parkway, on an underused parking lot next to RPW’s office building and the Hospital for Special Surgery. The plan is to build three, five-story wood-frame buildings with 303 apartments, a fitness center, swimming pool, business lounge and pet spa, all typical features of recent apartment projects in Westchester.

A rendering of the project.

But Weisz said The Flats will be one of the first “true life-work developments” in New York state and the New York City region. The 74-acre site will have a park and walking trails. Residents will be able to walk a hundred yards to jobs at the office building and medical facility, and make use of a beauty salon, child care center, cafeteria, dry cleaner and car wash. A shuttle service will take tenants to the White Plains Metro-North train station and to a nearby Life Time gym and recreation complex, a soon-to-open Wegmans grocery store and downtown

White Plains. “It is ideally situated to give people a more open area,” Weisz said, “and at the same time is close to a lot of attractions.” Despite the economic consequences of the pandemic — high job losses and negative growth, for now — “lenders have hung with us,” Gertman said. “I think they really believe in us, and RPW is a big reason for that.” Last month, Santander Bank approved a project loan and a building loan totaling $64 million, according to mortgages filed with the Westchester County Clerk.

Also last month, the developers subdivided the 74.2-acre property. A 19.2-acre parcel was deeded to NRP, for The Flats project. RPW kept control of 55-acres for the office building, in which NRP has no interest. They also created an association to manage and maintain the roads, utilities and other shared or common elements. The developers plan to break ground in August and finish the project in 18 to 24 months. “This is going to be a trailblazing project for the county,” Weisz said. “We think it’s really great.”

The future of business is diversity

e live in a diverse world in which our society is composed of multiple races, genders, cultures, religions and so on. Yet, it seems that idea has remained lost on many businesses, organizations and institutions of higher education. At least, until now. Since George Floyd’s murder by the police in Minneapolis on May 25, protests have erupted across the United States and spread around the world. After weeks of sustained protests and demonstrations with no end in sight, Black Lives Matter is now being considered the largest social movement in U.S. history. Interestingly, the movement dates back to the use of the hashtag #BlackLivesMatter on social media in July 2013 after the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of unarmed Black teen Trayvon Martin. This time around, however, the movement feels different. Big brands have spoken out in support of Black communities, many releasing official statements in support of diversity, equity and inclusion, and some are even using the phrase “Black Lives Matter” in their public messaging. There have been statements of support and pledges of donations to the Black Lives Matter movement and other civil rights groups from a wide range of industries from finance to fashion, and from Wall Street to the ivy-covered walls of higher education. The custom of brand activism — the act of businesses taking a stand on political, environmental or social issues — is driven by consumerism, as a growing number of consumers are expecting and/or demanding that companies make a positive contribution to society in exchange for the consumer’s support. More recently, and largely due to social media, pledges of allegiance by organizations with no actual follow-through

are being challenged for their inauthenticity by a public demanding genuine involvement in the anti-racism cause. It can be argued that the very future of companies may depend on the authenticity of their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts on an ongoing basis. Higher education, largely considered an institution for social change, is not immune to the racial reckoning being faced by many companies today. Predominantly White colleges and universities have historically focused on hiring a certain number of Black people to meet diversity quotas, then overworking those individuals to assist the institution in performative diversity and inclusion for the sake of checking boxes. More recently, these institutions have attempted to respond to student uprisings

and meet outcries for equity and justice by taking steps to display their support by changing the names on buildings or removing statues of long-revered racists. All the while, Black staff often represent the lowest salary ranges in higher education while tasked with some of the most demanding work on campuses, and Black faculty are often measured by a separate set of higher standards for acceptable teaching, scholarship and service to the institution when being assessed for tenure. Students, parents, alumni and faculty are now demanding that institutions move beyond performative diversity and change behaviors in meaningful and substantial ways such as instituting targeted diverse hiring policies and anti-racist curriculum.

Some companies, while they may have released statements during the recent tumult of racial protests, have long been making efforts to close the racial disparity gaps within their organizations. Westchester is home to some such organizations. Mastercard, for example, is one company that has been trying to live its values as opposed to allowing them to be words on a page. From its work with the National Urban League for over a decade, to funding research and using data science to help rebuild distressed communities and support minority entrepreneurs through its Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth, to its internal LEAD (Leading Employees of African Descent) Business Resource Group, Mastercard has made consistent efforts to uphold the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion both as a part of its mission and its practice. These are just a few examples of initiatives that any organization that wishes to make impactful efforts in anti-racism could and should be working towards. Every company should track its metrics of Black employees, starting from the top down. Companies must reassess their rules and strategies that are rigged from the very onset and contribute to the prevention of recruitment, retention and promotion of diverse members of their boards, leadership and employee pools. The genuine desire for inherent organizational change regarding diversity and inclusion may be questionable. But if the persistence of the current protests is any indication, the very survival of these companies and institutions may depend on it.

expects it will be “years before demand returns to peak 2019 levels.” A grim picture, to be sure. But Sherry Hicks-Buckles, general manager of the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, said her facility is in the midst of actualizing Prince Edward’s edict. “It was three months and 10 days,” Hicks-Buckles said on July 20, effortlessly computing how long the hotel at 1800 E. Putnam Ave. in the town’s Old Greenwich section was closed. “I think they were the longest three months and 10 days of my life.” Reopening on July 1, the 361-room/12-suite hotel is in the midst of rehiring most of the 150 employees it furloughed since closing on March 24. Along with corporate directives from the Hyatt Hotels Corp., Hicks-Buckles said the hotel utilized a number of resources from the state and the Connecticut Lodging Association, which together offered “a really good opportunity to check all the boxes.” In addition to a “Hygiene and Wellbeing Leader” at every Hyatt

discredited, humiliated, threatened and at times physically attacked.” Some local experts, however, think the medical community is immune to such attacks. “I don’t think (medicine is) under siege at all,” said Dr. Edward C. Halperin, Chancellor and CEO of New York Medical College in Valhalla and a pediatric radiation oncologist. “While medicine has always taken place in the context of the social mores of its time and place, doctors like to think they are above the fray.” Indeed, he adds, they are doing what they have always done — going about the business of healing people. Politicians may be politicizing the coronavirus. “But doctors? No,” he said. Dr. Ezriel E. Kornel, a top neurosurgeon in the metropolitan area and a Covid-19 survivor, agrees. “I don’t think there’s been a politicization of the coronavirus that has affected medicine

property, the chain’s “World of Hyatt” app, developed with online health care company Headspace, is rolling out new features that allow guests to manage preferences such as scheduling housekeeping, choosing between pick-up or knock-and-go food orders, and contactless check-in and checkout. Employees are required to undergo daily temperature checks upon arrival to the hotel;

to wear masks at all times, along with other PPE that may be required based on job duties; and to observe social distance guidance and use additional hand sanitizer stations. Hicks-Buckles further noted that, when it comes to the expected thorough cleaning of rooms once a guest has departed, the Greenwich staff will wait before entering the room, and the sanitized room will remain

vacant for longer than usual. “We’re taking a very methodical approach,” she said. “And we’re doing as much social distancing as possible.” The hotel’s pool and fitness room have also reopened, in accordance with the state’s phase two guidelines, as it awaits the lifting of additional restrictions when the third phase begins. That phase includes opening bars and allowing more than 50% indoor capacity at most businesses — including hotels, where business meetings and conventions represent a significant source of revenue. Hicks-Buckles said the Hyatt Regency has been receiving some inquiries from businesses, with the understanding that the maximum occupancy for its meeting facilities remains at 25. As for policing out-of-state travelers — as of July 21 there were 31 states whose residents are required to self-quarantine for a 14-day period before visiting Connecticut — Hicks-Buckles said that there had been no violations, while admitting that rental cars, which often carry out-of-state plates, can be a challenge. For the most part, she said,

business has been decent. “You can tell there’s a fair amount of people who have not been able to travel for awhile,” she said. “They’re glad to get out of their houses and see other people. It’s exciting for them, as well as for us.” Hicks-Buckles declined to provide estimates for how much business the hotel has lost, although the picture has been predictably ominous for Hyatt Hotels Corp. The chain, which operates over 900 hotels and associated properties in 65 countries, reported a first-quarter net loss of $103 million on May 6, versus net income of $63 million for Q1 2019. Its stock has dropped from $91.76 on Feb. 21 to $50.85 on July 20. Secondquarter figures are scheduled to be reported on Aug. 3. For all the uncertainty at the moment, Hicks-Buckles said she and her staff are remaining optimistic about the Greenwich facility’s future. “Looking back, it was the right decision (to close),” she said. “It was in the best interests of the safety of our guests and our employees, and that’s something we intend to continue to make a priority.”

some are reverting to telemedicine — which Kornel has said is the wave of the future, offering patients greater access to their doctors in those situations not requiring a physical examination. On the other hand, though, some patients are playing a waiting game or avoiding office visits and hospitals especially altogether. This has put some doctors under financial constraints. Kornel said he knows of one doctor in New York City who had to downsize after three others in his practice left. “He could no longer afford such a big space.” Meanwhile, Westchester Imaging PLLC in White Plains closed its doors during the height of the pandemic, transferring its patients’ records to Hartsdale Imaging. The high cost of medicine is something doctors become aware of the moment they set off on their career path. A student will spend at least $50,000 a year to attend medical school with an average graduating debt of $170,000.

A recent article in U.S. News and World Report, in which Halperin was quoted, stated that the medical profession “isn’t appropriate for someone whose primary motivation is earning a high salary.” The mean salary for an American physician, according to a Medscape Report, is $294,000 a year — which would put him, or increasingly her since more women attend medical school than men, in the top 2 percentile of income in the United States. Nevertheless, the cost of being a physician — including malpractice insurance, which can run anywhere from $7,500 to $50,000 a year for a surgeon — has led many doctors to join the increasing number of large health-care networks. “I don’t think it’s for the better,” said Kornel who adds that the trend limits resources and a doctor’s individuality, thus restricting medical care. But Halperin calls the notion of “free-market individualism” a myth.

“We have this idea of a (TV show doctor) Marcus Welby in solo practice going in a horse and buggy to make house calls.” Instead what has made medicine very effective, he said, “are large pharmaceutical companies and large hospitals” with centralized authority. What enabled Germany to succeed in handling the coronavirus, he said, was a scientist-led, centralized response. With all the challenges — the politics, the controversies, the insurance hassles, the relatively inadequate financial returns, not to mention the emotional toll of caring for desperately ill people that the pandemic has revealed — why do it? “Because I see people come in who are suffering and I have an opportunity to alleviate that suffering,” Kornel said. Halperin added, “I am a pediatric radiation oncologist. I take care of children who need radiation for their cancer. To have the most important work there is, what more do you need?”

A setup for an event.

directly,” he said, adding that if anything, the pandemic has made people trust their health care professionals even more. We have, of course, seen the signs — literally — those dotting suburban lawns thanking health-care heroes for their courage and sacrifice in the face of a biological foe that has at times unleashed a scenario out of Dante’s Inferno. There are other signs of confidence in medicine as a profession as well: Applications to medical school continue to increase, Halperin said, with 13,000 alone for 212 places at New York Medical College and 2,600 applications for 114 seats at Touro College of Dental Medicine at New York Medical College in Hawthorne. (The college will use a hybrid approach of online and small, in-person classes this fall.) One way, however, that the coronavirus has adversely affected medicine, Kornel said, is that “physicians are not seeing as many patients come in.” On the one hand, FCBJ

a shirt factory, movie studio and skating rink. The opening night program included “That Girl From Paris” starring Lily Pons and Gene Raymond, “Wanted, Jane Turner” starring Gloria Stuart and Lee Tracy, a newsreel and short subjects. It operated successfully as a neighborhood theater for about four decades, typically running double features.

In the mid-1970s, it operated under the name The Movies. With increasing competition from modern cinemas elsewhere in Yonkers, it eventually closed and was used for awhile as a furniture store. In 2004, a three-alarm fire broke out that extensively damaged the former theater and adjacent storefronts. In 2010, there was another fire

that added to the destruction. In 2017, what remained was torn down. Bruno Pietrosanti, founder and partner in the firm Lawless + Mangione Architects and Engineers recently told the planning board that the new development will have vehicle access from Crescent Place and Bronx River Road. He said 8

new proposed development for the site that once was home to the Kimball Theatre in Yonkers is under review by the Yonkers Planning Board and is expected to be discussed again at its Sept. 9 meeting. “We are before you on a preliminary site plan review basis,” Attorney James Veneruso of the Yonkers law firm Veneruso, Curto, Schwartz & Curto LLP, representing the developer, told the planning board. On May 6, the development at 1219 Yonkers Ave. received approvals from the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals for variances the project needed. It now needs the planning board’s approval. The 266-unit, 14-story apartment structure with parking and 1,600 square feet of ground-level retail space is proposed by developer 1219 Yonkers Ave LLC, which was initially registered with New York’s Department of State on Oct. 28, 2015. Back in April 2013, a previous developer, Cottage International

Development Group, as owner of Blue Real Estate Holdings LLC, had received approval for $2.3 million in tax exemptions from the Yonkers Industrial Development Agency for a plan to build a 220-unit apartment building on the site. At that time, Mayor Mike Spano said the project was welcome because it would replace a row of commercial properties “that have become an eyesore” and “will anchor this neighborhood for many years to come. This kind of housing keeps Yonkers attractive to retiring baby boomers looking to downsize, to young professionals starting out, and people who will start families and hopefully stay in Yonkers as their families grow.” The site is just west of Bronx River Road and the Bronx River Parkway, near the Metro-North Mount Vernon West station. Several contiguous lots were assembled along with the land on which the movie theater once stood. The Kimball Theatre, originally opened in 1937 and had 700 seats. It was created at a cost of more than $100,000 in a building that formerly held

that the pedestrian entrance to the building would be along Yonkers Avenue. “At the north end of the building is a large terrace. This terrace is an amenity for the building and also helps us to set the building back because the tower has been readjusted so that it gave a little bit more room visually for the adjoining property along that side,” Pietrosanti said. The apartments in the building will consist of oneand two-bedroom units only and there will be one parking space for each of the units along with eight for the retail space and four for guests and additional parking, Pietrosanti

said. He pointed out that the building’s lobby is two levels above Crescent Place because of the propert’’s grade. “Every unit, one- and two-bedrooms, all will have their own washer/dryers. The zoning board felt and the community felt, that they would like to see a laundry room,” Pietrosanti said. The zoning board made adding a common laundry room to the plans one of its requirements. “So, the way we viewed this is that the larger capacity washer and dryers, if someone wants to do their sheets or large fabrics, and things of that nature, they can do it without having to burden themselves with going outside to a facility.” Pietrosanti said that the

outside finish of the building will feature brick panels, precast panels and some metal curtain wall panels and glass. Veneruso said the building would have 24-hour doorman service, a common fitness center and a state-of-the-art security system. He said the developer has bought an easement through an adjacent parking lot that the Yonkers Parking Authority acquired. He also said that the developer would be paying for synchronized traffic lights that would help mitigate the impact of vehicles from the building. He said that the developer has been working with the city’s traffic engineer and accepted the engineer’s proposals for the project.

Lamont: Out-ofstaters now must complete ‘travel health’ form BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

s Connecticut cautiously prepares to reopen its public schools, its Covid-19 data continues to be impressive, according to Gov. Ned Lamont at a July 20 press briefing. Out-of-state travelers, however, must proceed here with additional caution. Travelers from the 22 states currently on Connecticut’s “must self-quarantine for 14 days” list are now required to complete an online “travel health” form certifying that they are virus-free — regardless of how they travel to the state. Spot checks will be conducted at Bradley Airport; failure to comply with quarantine or to complete the form will be subject to a $1,000 fine. Lamont said the state is working with New York, New Jersey and Massachusetts to institute similar measures. Meanwhile, the state Department of Education on July 17 released a Frequently Asked Questions guide for parents, students, and staff, which covers such topics from school year attendance to size restrictions on cohorts to transportation. Education Commissioner Miguel Cardona said that, while awaiting comments from all of the state’s 170 public school district superintendents — due this Friday — several other questions have come to the fore. One of those — what happens if a parent chooses to keep his child at home — still awaits guidance, Cardona said. The commissioner rejected the idea that teachers could spend the day teaching kids in school, followed by another session for those who did not attend. “We’re not expecting a second shift,” he said. Asked when a decision will be made on what shape the school day will take — all students in attendance, all returning to the distance learning model or a hybrid approach — Cardona said “hopefully around early August.” He noted that the final decision will be made in consult with the Department of Public Health and the governor. Regarding the false positive test results that the Department of Public Health discovered over the July 18 weekend — 90 of 144 people tested during June 15 to July 17 received a false positive report — the state’s COO, Josh Geballe, said that all had been retested. When pressed as to whether any of those who had falsely tested positive had subsequently been hospitalized or died, Geballe said the state was still awaiting further information. Anyone who has tested positive who has not heard from a Department of Public Health representative or physician should assume that their test was valid and accurate, Geballe said. The latest coronavirus data, collected over a three-day period, shows that of the total 655,309 tests to date, 48,055 have resulted in positive cases. Lamont added that Connecticut has recorded a 0.6% infection rate over the last three days. The state has had 4,406 virus-related deaths. Fairfield County has recorded 16,466 confirmed and 646 probable cases, with 1,087 confirmed and 312 probable deaths. Bridgeport leads the county with 3,634 confirmed cases, followed by Stamford (3,302), Norwalk (2,052), Danbury (1,874) and Stratford (840).

Extending workers’ comp to frontline employees awaits resolution by Lamont BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN

“It’s a huge slap in the face,” CBIA’s Vice President, Government Affairs Eric Gjede told the Business Journal. He conceded that the eye-popping 238% figure is “just an estimate, but we feel it’s a good predictor of what we’re facing.” Gjede noted that the CBIA is an independent organization without a political agenda, “but we take this pretty darn seriously.” The CBIA exec blamed what he called “advocates who are very angry about the issue” — specifically the Democratic chairs of the state Insurance & Real Estate Committee and Labor & Public Employees Committee — with pushing the presumption through without prop-

ov. Ned Lamont was expected to issue an executive order at press time that would extend workers’ compensation benefits to those frontline employees who contracted the coronavirus at work. But that might not be enough to assuage the emotions of everyone involved. The governor seemed to take legislators by surprise when he issued a statement on July 17 saying, “Connecticut owes a debt to the health care professionals, grocery store clerks and other essential workers who stood at their posts during the darkest days of this pandemic. We can pay a part of that debt by providing workers who contracted Covid-19 on the job during those days with a timely, straightforward opportunity to claim any benefits they are due through the workers’ compensation system. “I am committed to providing that opportunity through a forthcoming executive order,” he stated. “I appreciate those employers who have done the right thing by their employees, the Connecticut’s Workers’ Compensation Commission for operating continually throughout this pandemic, and most of all, the workers for their efforts and sacrifice.” But even after that declaration and the executive order itself, there is still sometimes heated discussion between those who agree with the move and those who oppose it, with the latter warning that it could put a severe financial strain on employers already trying to dig out from under the Covid-related fiscal crisis. Granting such a presumption “would substantially hike workers’ compensation costs for employers at a critical time, with businesses struggling to recover from pandemic-related shutdown orders and restrictions,” according to a June 18 post on the Connecticut Business & Industry Association website. The CBIA post further cited data from the National Council on Compensation Insurance that estimated compensation costs could more than double. And in another post on July 7, the group warned businesses: “It will increase your insurance costs for at least three years due to paying claims for workers who contracted the virus — including those that may have ignored social distancing measures off the clock or ignored travel restrictions. An analysis by the independent National Council on Compensation Insurance shows that if left open-ended, your workers’ compensation costs could rise as much as 238%.”

In Court | Bill Heltzel Trash haulers clash over lower Hudson Valley, Fairfield business

A Danbury trash hauler is suing a former employee who has formed a competing business in Brewster. Oak Ridge Waste and Recycling demanded that Robert Kissh and Superior Trash Disposal Inc. stop competing in the lower Hudson Valley and in Fairfield, Connecticut, in a July 9 complaint filed in Westchester Supreme Court. Kissh has “utilized confidential information … as a former employee of Oak Ridge,” the complaint states, “to unlawfully compete with Oak Ridge.” Kissh did not respond to an email asking for his side of the story. In 2013, Kissh sold the assets of Mid-Hudson Waste Inc. to Winter Bros. Waste Systems, for

Matt Lesser (D-Middletown), deputy majority leader and co-chair of Insurance & Real Estate, is one of those angry advocates. “(The CBIA’s) position is hard to understand, and perhaps is even a tad shameful,” Lesser told the Business Journal. “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that when you force workers to do their jobs during a global pandemic, they may get sick — and there are costs associated with that. “It seems to me that this is the very least we can do for frontline workers who are in hospitals, nursing homes and even the

As a condition of the sale, according to the complaint attested to by Oak Ridge President John Decker, Kissh agreed not to work for any competitor in Connecticut or in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in New York for five years after he left the company. He acknowledged that the deal could limit his ability to “earn a livelihood,” but agreed that the restrictions were fair and not unduly burdensome. The deal also included a confidentiality section, to protect Oak Ridge’s proprietary information to which Kissh had “unfet-

‘SPREADING INCORRECT FIGURES’

As for the CBIA’s alarming numbers, Lesser said he wasn’t buying it. “The CBIA is spreading incorrect figures,” he said. “The actual costs would be minimal. “If this is what breaks the economy,” Lesser added, “then we’ve got bigger problems.” Across the political spectrum, a number of both red and blue states have already provided workers’ comp protections, although not always to the same extent.

A bankruptcy judge has ruled that chiropractor Bruce J. Paswall

of Katonah may not discharge a $4.2 million “pregnancy discrimination” debt. Judge Robert D. Drain also ruled last month that the transfer of Paswall’s Katonah house to his sons was a “fraudulent conveyance,” and he directed the Westchester county clerk to strike the deed from the public record. The decisions trace back to a seven-year legal fight by three women Paswall fired — Melissa Rodriguez of Yonkers, Marlena Santana of the Bronx and Yasminda Davis of Roselle Park, New Jersey — because they were pregnant. The women had worked for Paswall at G.E.B. Medical Management Inc. in Manhattan. In 2008, they sued him in Bronx Supreme Court, claiming that he had imposed intolerable work conditions after they became pregnant and created false scenarios to justify firing them. A jury awarded them $6.2 million in 2015 and the judge reduced the verdict to $4,192,938. Last September, Paswall petitioned U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains for Chapter 7 liquidation. He declared assets of $18,028 and liabilities of $4.8 million. He described the Bronx verdict as disputed and listed the judg-

ment at only $3.5 million. By filing for bankruptcy, his creditors were automatically barred from collecting debts. The women filed an adversary proceeding, arguing that the debts should be enforced because they resulted from willful and malicious injury. U.S. Trustee Mark S. Tulis also filed an adversary proceeding, demanding $650,000 from Paswall’s sons, Grant and Reid Paswall. Paswall had transferred his Katonah house to his sons at no cost, the trustee argued, and they accepted the transfer “with the intent to hinder, delay and defraud creditors.” Drain ruled that the $4.2 million Bronx court judgment is nondischargeable. Paswall did not oppose the motion for summary judgment. Drain granted a default judgment against Paswall’s sons, and they have appealed the decision. The Chapter 7 bankruptcy is pending and nearly $5.1 million in claims have been filed. Besides the claims by his former employees, their attorney, Scott A. Lucas, filed for $786,424 in legal fees that the Bronx jury awarded to him. Paswall is represented by West Harrison attorney Gary R. Gjertsen.

While the likes of Alaska, Utah and Wisconsin limit presumptions to first responders and health care workers, Kentucky also includes grocery store employees and Minnesota includes those providing health care for first responders and health care workers. State Sen. Julie Kushner (D-Danbury), deputy president pro tempore and co-chair of the Labor & Public Employees Committee, told the Business Journal that she shared the view with her Democratic colleagues that “We have an obligation to our frontline workers. In order for us all to stay home and stay

sheltered, those are the ones who provided food and our essential health services. “Giving them the presumption is a very important and meaningful way to acknowledge their service,” she added. Echoing Lesser, Kushner said, “I don’t think there’s any evidence” of the veracity of the numbers being bruited about by presumption opponents. “Even if it is more expensive,” she declared, “that’s the cost of doing business.” With the July special session scheduled to address just four issues — whether to expand the use of absentee ballots, recently approved by the state Supreme Court for the Aug. 11 primaries, to the Nov. 3 general election; police accountability and trans-

parency; expanding the use of telehealth; and capping insulin prices at $100 per month — both lawmakers said they intended to push for the General Assembly to formally vote on the workers’ compensation question, if not this month then in the next special session that is provisionally set for September. Senate President Pro Tem Martin Looney (D-New Haven) has indicated he would push the issue in September. “The time to do this is now,” Kushner said. “Actually, it was several months ago.” “We’ve posed with (frontline workers) and praised them,” Lesser said. “Now we have to put pressure on the legislature and the governor to fulfill that praise.”

tered access” as an employee. Kissh worked at Oak Ridge until March 2018, the complaint states. In June 2018, he incorporated Superior Trash Disposal. An attorney for Oak Ridge reminded Kissh of his obligations under the noncompete agreement, according to the complaint, but Kissh did not respond. Kissh has allegedly solicited Oak Ridge customers and Superior allegedly offers residential and commercial garbage disposal and roll-off dumpster services in Oak Ridge’s territory. Oak Ridge accused Kissh of breach of contract for allegedly violating the noncompete agreement, and accused Kissh and Superior of misappropriation of confidential information and interference with business relationships. Oak Ridge is demanding unspecified damages and is asking the court to stop Kissh and Superior from competing in the lower Hudson Valley — Fairfield region until March 2023. Oak Ridge is represented by Albany attorney Robert T. Schofield.

KATONAH CHIROPRACTOR CAN’T ESCAPE $4.2M PREGNANCY DISCRIMINATION CLAIM

Report finds pessimism soaring among commercial aviation suppliers BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

iddle market companies that supply products and services to the commercial aviation industry are not flying high in these turbulent economic times, according to a report issued by Danbury-headquartered Alderman & Co. The report, titled “Impending Crisis in the Commercial Aviation Industry Supply Chain” polled 65 companies that included manufacturers, distributors and providers of services including maintenance and repair; these companies average approximately under $100 million in annual sales. On a year-over-year measurement in May, the respondent companies recorded an average revenue decline of 35%. At the moment, the companies are managing to remain operational, with 35.4% stating they have sufficient liquidity at the moment and 26.2% believing they “probably” have sufficient liquidity. Still, the past few months for the airline industry have been brutal, with yearover-year passenger traffic down 81% as of mid-June. The report’s respondents predict airline passenger traffic will not return to pre-pandemic levels until 2022. But with funding from the federal Payroll Protection Program coming to a close with no immediate renewal in sight, the commercial aviation supply chain cannot rely on bank loans to keep them afloat. “Banks don’t want to lend to companies that can’t pay them back,” said Bill Alderman, CEO of Alderman & Co. “Although that is pessimistic, the suppliers would not be able to pay them back until after 2022.” Alderman noted that different suppliers will be able to recover their revenue streams quicker than others. “If you sell jet fuel, then in 2022 you’ll see your revenue go back to a very good level very quickly because the airplane needs jet fuel to take off,” he said. “But if you manufacture seats for aircraft, you’ve got to wait another two or three years before your sales pick up. There are thousands of airplanes parked now and they don’t need new seats — they’ve got plenty of seats. They just need some jet fuel.” Despite the dire straits, only 11% of the companies in the report said they were looking to create new business develop-

ment opportunities in other industries. “Business people are saying, ‘Well, we can’t sell any of those jet engine parts, go call on the ventilator market and see if they want us to make some parts,’” Alderman said. “A lot of that 11% were looking into medical and pharmaceutical. Others were looking into things related to 5G build out, such as manufacturing new cell towers. They are exploring other ways to try and use their services and their production for demand that exists elsewhere.” Most of the commercial aviation industry suppliers were having difficulty trying to remain optimistic. When asked if they were more concerned now versus 30

days ago regarding the state of their industry, 48% said they were more concerned while 40% said they were less concerned and 12% had no change in their opinion. However, Alderman expressed surprise that the level of pessimism was not higher. “What I found sort of surprising, but not overly surprising, was their level of optimism and entrepreneurial will to get through this,” he said. “I think this is an entrepreneurial group. They deal in aviation, they manufacture parts and if they do something wrong it kills people. It’s a life or death industry. They’re not making toilets — they’re making aircraft parts. And, so, this group is a very ethical, hardwork-

ing but optimistic group, like the Wright Brothers themselves.” Still, Alderman acknowledged the troubles facing the industry are not disappearing any time soon. “The reality is this pandemic is horrific,” he said. “It’s very disruptive to the airlines more so than probably any other sector of the economy because that’s how this virus literally spread to America. And I think it’s going to be bad — that’s what the survey data tells us. If the government will again inject trillions of dollars or a portion thereof into the sector, the sector will survive. But there’s no demand right now.”

Three reasons to get your business on Pinterest now

ne’s misfortune can be another’s treasure. Facebook has faced increased pressure from its user base and advertisers alike. In light of some of Facebook’s business practices and Zuckerberg’s desire to dislocate Hawaiians whose homes stand in the way of where he wants to build his next mansion, people are deleting their accounts and advertisers are backing out. While users and advertisers are pulling out of Facebook and the other social networks it owns, these ex-Facebook users and advertisers still need an option. Users want to consume content on other social networks and advertisers still need to spend their ad dollars. In light of these developments, Facebook as a business will likely be fine. Advertisers who stay on the platform will get more affordable leads due to the decrease in competition, and Facebook still has more than enough users to be enticed with ads. If you are looking for another

At the end of 2019, Pinterest reported that it had 322 million monthly active users. While Pinterest is continuing to grow in the U.S., it’s international growth is rapidly expanding. Pinterest users also browse through the app to find new products. Pinterest did a study and discovered that 82% of U.S. dads say they find new products on Pinterest, and 45% of U.S. dads with a household income of $100K+ use the platform. While you can most certainly use Pinterest to grow your audience, you can also use it to sell more products. You can create a custom board where you list your products for sale. If you have no products, you can use affiliate links from sites like Amazon to earn revenue from the platform. Pinterest is a social network, but if you ignore the e-commerce potential, you miss out on a tremendous opportunity.

3: THE COPYCATS FAILED TWICE

option, then you may want to turn your attention to Pinterest as it is one of the social networks set to benefit from the Facebook debacle. While many people see Pinterest as a mixture of fashion, cooking and arts and crafts, it’s much more than that. In this article, you’ll learn three reasons why you need to get your business on Pinterest … fast.

1: MORE PEOPLE TURNING TO A NEW SOURCE

Pinterest already had solid growth before the Facebook exodus but is likely to accelerate even more. At its current outset, the Facebook boycott will probably make a minimal dent to the bottom line, but nothing severe. However, people looking for new options may look toward Pinterest for their content and ad dollars. Politics can also be a beneficiary for Pinterest as U.S. officials discuss whether they should ban TikTok from Americans. While not everyone would be happy with this decision, other countries have already banned TikTok, and I would not be surprised if the U.S. followed suit.

2: A GROWING SOCIAL MEDIA AND E-COMMERCE PLATFORM

The timing for Pinterest is great, but there’s more to Pinterest’s growth than the Facebook boycott and a potential TikTok ban.

You know a social network has a ton of potential when the big guys try to copy it. Facebook and Instagram stories are completely unoriginal ideas, and let’s not forget how Vine began its downfall as soon as Instagram stepped in. When the big companies try to copy another company’s platform, there is only one goal — take market share and, hopefully, eliminate that company. Facebook and Google both tried to create Pinterest-like platforms. Facebook’s Hobbi lasted less than six months while Google added collections feature to its image search engine to create a Pinterest-type feel back in 2015. Google is giving it a second try with Keen, another app with Pinterest-like functionality. The executives at Facebook and Google saw Pinterest as a dynamic enough platform that they had to try and copy it. If you have 322 million users, you’re bound to attract competition, and I can see Pinterest cruising to 1 billion users in a few years. Pinterest presents a compelling opportunity to capitalize on current trends and establish yourself on an e-commerce platform, disguised as a social network that will continue growing. If you want help with using Pinterest or are looking for someone to manage the work for you, schedule a free strategy call with me at marcguberti.com/strategy. I’d love to hear from you.

NOW WE’RE COOKING

SEAFOOD PAELLA FOR FIVE By Elmer Oliveros, Brothers Fish & Chips

ROASTED FREE RANGE CHICKEN WITH STAR ANISE BRINE By Peter X. Kelly, Xaviars Restaurant Group

BY JEREMY WAYNE

WHAT’S COOKING IN WESTCHESTER AND FAIRFIELD COUNTIES? Plenty, it seems. Last month, WAG’s first Wonderful Dining column under lockdown brought you seven of the best local restaurants for takeout or delivery of terrific restaurant food to your door. This month, thanks to a new cookbook cooked up by three local industry stalwarts, Wonderful Dining wants you to enjoy restaurant-standard meals that you cook yourself, at home. Johnny Livanos of City Limits Diner in White Plains and Moderne Barn in Armonk, Susanna Sussman of Mealson-Wheels of White Plains and restaurant public relations maven Jessica Rosen Klein, have teamed up to create “Westchester Cooks,” a cookbook filled with recipes from chefs, restaurateurs and local cookery writers. There’s a suggested donation of $10 for the online copy and all proceeds are being donated to Lifting Up Westchester, an organization that provides food, shelter and support to those in need, right here in our own community. Recipes come from across our region, so that there is a palpable (if perhaps inadvertent) sense of local and seasonal,and more than $5,000 has already been raised. The New York Times recently reported that COVID-19 has seen a return to dependence on tinned and processed foods. Well, what goes around comes around and one of the many pleasing aspects of “Westchester Cook”s is that not only does this cookbook give us the opportunity to eat more healthily at home, it simultaneously gives some of the most hard-hit people in our community some much-needed help. The book is divided into breakfast, starters, mains, sides and desserts and there are more than 40 recipes across the pages. Featured restaurants include X20 Xaviar’s on the Hudson in Yonkers, Sonora in Port Chester, The Cookery in Dobbs Ferry and Lulu’s in Scarsdale. Here are three recipes that I have already sampled from the book, reproduced with kind permission from the publishers, as easy to make as they are delicious to eat. To download “Westchester Cooks” and make your donation, visit liftingupwestchester.

Ingredients 32 to 40 ounces of seafood stock 8 whole shrimp 6 clams 12 mussels 1 red pepper 1 white onion 32 ounces white rice 1/4 teaspoon saffron 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning 1 teaspoon sea salt 1/2 cup olive oil Directions 1. Start with olive oil over medium heat. 2. Add diced onion and pepper. Cook 1 to 2 minutes. Then add salt, Cajun seasoning, saffron and chili flakes, with 8 ounces of stock. Place the clams around the pan, leaving the middle empty to add rice. 3. Add shrimp and mussels with the rest of the stock and let it cook uncovered for 15 minutes on medium heat. Note: Mussels and shrimp can be taken out of the pan after 10 minutes to prevent overcooking them.

A PRIMER ON SCOTCH WHISKEY, ER, WHISKY STORY AND PHOTOGRAPH BY DOUG PAULDING

YES, IT’S A STRANGE TIME to be alive and odd to be tasked with writing about wine and spirits. In this endeavor I, and most of my colleagues, will attend luncheons or dinners with winemakers or spirit distillers and/or their employers. We will taste through the inventory on hand and hear stories of the creation and evolution of the subject. We are often invited to seminars, where regional consortio staff members might give us the history and bottom line and, of course, offer up a taste of a series of representative styles. And then there are the media trips to other lands, where we are flown to distant places, sometimes with a few journalists; sometimes with many from around the world. After any of these events, it is fairly simple to compose an engaging story. We hear, we taste, we question, we compare. But today all of those options are on hold so we have to get creative. I visited the local Total Wines store in Norwalk, Connecticut, where the inventory is second to none in the area. I randomly walked around, a bit lost, looking for inspiration. I ambled aisle to aisle, picking up bottle after bottle until I found myself in the spirits section and was immediately drawn to the Scotch whiskey area. (Note: Scotland drops the “e,” but the preferred American spelling is with it.) For reasons unknown, Scotch whiskey

has always held a particular attraction for me. Perhaps because my maternal grandfather was born in Glasgow, Scotland. Perhaps because it was my first drink in an adult setting in a restaurant. Perhaps because I have bonded with a few friends over an attractive dram or two of Scotch, while discussing life and solving the world’s problems. Sadly, some of these friends are no longer here, so in my mind there is a permanence and a certain “holiness” to these sacred, or profane, memories. Single malt whiskey may be the gold standard of whiskeys worldwide. Scotland and Ireland both lay claim to being the originator of this fermented, distilled and aged product, but the single malts of Scotland all have their unique flavors and personalities. The Highland region employs smoked peat moss to dry the malted (sprouted) grain. Each distillery has its own peaty preferences of flavor and concentration. Some like a hint of smokiness for accent, while others are so peaty and smoky it will take multiple tastes to appreciate them. And then there are all the styles in between. So I was wandering in the Scotch aisle looking for an angle. Some of these Scotches are wildly expensive, reaching into the tens of thousands of dollars. Many are in the typical price range of $45 to $100 dollars or so. But I stumbled across Grangestone, an affordable and interesting Highland single malt Scotch whiskey. I bought three bottles, each for about $26. Each of these bottles begin the same way, aged in traditional American oak casks. They are then transferred into casks that have matured other products to their happy place. One was finished in premium Madeira casks, one was in premium rum casks and the third in premium sherry casks. Each bottle was clearly of the same lineage, but there were subtle flavor differences from these finishing casks. Madeira is an island off the coast of northwest Africa belonging to Portugal where Madeira is exclusively made. It is a fortified wine, shocked during the fermentation process with high alcohol brandy to arrest it, thus maintaining some of the natural sugars of the grape. It is then aged in wood for years or sometimes for many decades. Sherry is made in southwest Spain and is also a fortified wine. Sherry has many styles from bone dry to extra sweet. And rum, of course, is derived from sugar or cane juice or molasses and is typically produced throughout the Caribbean. Because it’s made in so many different countries, there are no universal rules or laws for its production. But success sells and producers pay attention to what sells and may try to emulate a style with their own grace note of flavor. The Madeira cask contributed hints of a dark Port softly carried by the whiskey. The rum cask is much more aromatic, showing clean whiskey flavors tempered by a slight touch of molasses. The sherry cask whiskey was considerably dryer, probably made with a cask that previously matured dry Amontillado or Oloroso sherry. These whiskeys all come in at 40% alcohol by volume, or at 80 proof. Each of them had a distinct personality and any of them could become a personal favorite, which could change with the day or night temperatures, food available or current company.

WESTCHESTER AND FAIRFIELD COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNALS

For Christine Sanders, running a nursing home during a pandemic was about quick thinking and adapting BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

hristine Sanders’ path to becoming the administrator at United Hebrew of New Rochelle’s skilled nursing facility is a great example of someone putting their first step on the bottom rung of the ladder and moving upward. “I actually started at United Hebrew as an intern right out of college,” Sanders said. “I went to Iona and for part of my graduate degree I needed to do an internship in a nursing home because I’m a licensed nursing home administrator. So, I started at United Hebrew

as an intern about eight years ago, and I worked under the President and CEO Rita Mabli for about a good eight months.” When the internship ended, Sanders was offered a full-time position at United Hebrew and by 2018 had risen through the ranks to vice president of administration. Sanders was promoted to administrator in March, but this achievement has not been publicly trumpeted until now because, she noted, “during the middle of the pandemic, it wasn’t really the right time to announce an appointment.” The severity of the pandemic was something that Sanders did not expect but was ready

to tackle. “No one’s planned for a pandemic,” she said. “Who would have thought this time last year we would have been faced with this? Definitely, there was no playbook and no rulebook, but we do prepare every year to at least have two types of emergencies, like an earthquake or fire. But that is so different from a pandemic.” Still, Sanders noted that the pandemic did not sneak up on United Hebrew unexpectedly, noting the facility was tracking the news from China in early January of Covid-19’s first appearance. “When we heard about this virus, one of my directors said,

‘We should really bulk up on supplies because you never know what’s going to happen,” Sanders said. “We placed a large order and we were fortunate enough to never be in that situation where we didn’t have enough PPE (personal protective equipment), masks, gloves and gowns.” Not unlike the other nursing homes in New York, United Hebrew was mandated by an executive order from Gov. Andrew Cuomo to admit hospital patients who had Covid19. But unlike other facilities where the arrival of the hospital patients created a calamity, Sanders ensured that the residents at her nursing home FCBJ

WCBJ

were never in harm’s way. “We made a Covid unit in our nursing home — it was a separate area,” she stated. “It had a separate staff. It was almost like a mini-hospital — it was really like a sight to see — and that’s where we took our Covid patients. It was a closed unit with closed doors on either side, and if you worked on that unit you worked there all day. It was a consistent staff assigned to that unit who didn’t walk around to other areas of the building.” Sanders’ work not only focused within her facility, but in the network of relationships with vendors and suppliers » SANDERS JULY 27, 2020

whose work was disrupted by the government edicts related to the pandemic. She praised the vendors for “trying to best help every nursing home, although some of them were only allotting you a certain amount to be fair, so everyone was able to have supplies.” United Hebrew did its’ part to help other nursing homes by providing masks to those

who fell short of that commodity. “You hear horror stories about not having enough supplies, but we were grateful we had great vendors who worked with us,” she said. “A lot of the supplies we ordered online through eBay and Amazon, but at one point the price of these masks was through the roof — we were paying four times the regular price. But the vendors were always willing to work with us. I think

they felt bad that they couldn’t do enough for us, but they were also overwhelmed.” Running parallel to Sanders’ administrative duties was trying to mitigate the emotional stress of the families of the facility’s residents, who were not able to make in-person visits. She quickly coordinated an effort that sought to offer the best solutions for the new environment.

“We created what we call ‘adopter resonance,’” she said. “And it was about 20 different staff members here who all adopted about 10 residents each, and once a week they would call that family member directly and give them an update on what’s happening in the facility with Covid and how their loved one was doing. That didn’t take the place if a family member called for an update — we’d be happy to speak with them. But we were just wanting to be a little proactive and reaching out to families directly to give them the scoop on what was happening in the building with Covid. “We also set up some families who couldn’t come in to see their loved ones with FaceTime visits and Zoom,” she said. “The family member would prebook an appointment in advance, and they would be able to FaceTime with their loved one. And probably about two months ago, we instituted a window visit, so the families come to the first floor in our rehab suite and the resident was brought down by a member of the staff and they’re able to visit with their loved one through a window — we had a speaker there and it’s really nice because you can see your family member up close. And being able to hear them was an even bigger bonus because so many residents are hard of hearing.” As of this writing, family visitation isn’t allowed for Sanders’ facility, although the state has allowed that to resume for certain nursing homes after a 28-day period without a staff member or resident testing positive for the virus. “We’re looking to reopen around the first week in August, I think August 7,” Sanders said. “Reopening for us would mean scheduled visits and we’re working on our plan. Now we actually have to submit that plan to the Department of Health. But we definitely are cautiously optimistic about reopening.”

LIONESS, INC.

Seeing wild animals display affection strikes a chord with us humans. We’ve been there. We’ve done that. Given the harsh environment and everyday struggle to survive in the wild, we are surprised to see glimpses of human behavior in their actions. This cub, in stride, reached up and leaned into his mother, looking for assurance. Solidarity is how they have always survived. Lions are the laziest of the big cats, often spending most of the day sleeping or resting. While lazing around, they can be very affectionate towards one another. While a group of people connected to one another is called a tribe, a group of fish is called a school and a group of owls is called a parliament, a group of lions is collectively called a pride because of their stately quality. Lions are the only cats that live in these social groups called prides. Family units may contain as many as 40 lions, including up to four males, who are responsible for protecting the pride, and a dozen females. All of a pride’s lionesses are related and will mate at approximately the same time. After a gestation period of about 110 days, the females gives birth to 1 to 4 cubs, weighing only 2 to 4 pounds. The cubs are then raised together, sometimes nursing communally. While the image of male lion superiority is ubiquitous in the world, the truth is that the females are the leaders of the pride and its primary hunters. Males rarely participate in hunting unless they are needed. Females fiercely defend their cubs, and while males tolerate them, they don’t always defend them. With high mortality

rates, about 80% of cubs will not survive until adulthood, but those that do may live to be 10 to 14 years of age. Helping humans learn how to live with lions is key to ensuring their survival. In northern Kenya, Samburu warriors, women and children with important local knowledge of wildlife issues are trained to collect data on wildlife sightings and respond to community issues like livestock depredation. In exchange, they receive educational lessons and a leadership role in their communities, creating a network of wildlife ambassadors. Some conservation organizations pay farmers to replace their livestock that have been taken by lions. There are so many fascinating things to discover about lions and all the other creatures that can be found on safari with John Rizzo’s Africa Photo Tours. It’s an unforgettable trip filled with lions, elephants, leopards, zebras and rhinos — all waiting to be discovered by you! Rizzo, an award-winning photographer, leads a team of experienced guides, specializing in safari and tribal tours within East Africa – Kenya, Tanzania and Ethiopia. His experienced team brings an intimate group of guests of all ages to see the “Big Five” (buffalos, elephants, lions leopards and rhinoceroses) as well as visit with the Maasai, Samburu and Turkana people.

It was a happy lunchtime as a safely masked chef and his helpers had the grill smoking, flipping burgers and hot dogs. First Selectman Fred Camillo stopped by to wave hello and greet some of the members as they drove through. Some members walked through, waiting at socially distanced spaces. As life in Greenwich is slowly, carefully, beginning to open up, it is still important for the more vulnerable older adults to try to remain at home and self-isolate as much as possible. The Greenwich Senior Center continues to remain closed to reduce their risk of exposure and remain safe.

As part of a national heat awareness campaign in cities across the U.S., Groundwork Hudson Valley was awarded $165,000 to complete an intensive study of heat-related risks across Yonkers related

to climate change. The funding is being provided by the Kresge Foundation, the New York State Office of Environmental Justice and The JPB Foundation to examine areas of high-heat intensity, known as heat islands, throughout the city of 200,000-plus people through the use of current satellite imagery and cross-referenced data on historic redlining, income, race, health issues, flooding and sea level rise. The results will guide the development of new mitigation efforts and educational campaigns in areas of Yonkers highlighted by the study as most at risk to this issue. Data collected to date indicates that the most vulnerable neighborhoods overlap with the city’s historically redlined communities. The research is being carried out in partnership with Groundwork USA under its national Climate Safe Neighborhoods Partnership. Technical support is being provided by the New School Urban Systems Lab, the city of Yonkers, Sarah Lawrence College Department of Economics, Groundwork USA, Westchester County, CAPA Strategies, and NASA DEVELOP. The data will be used to engage community, business and government stakeholders in a shared effort to identify and prioritize mitigation efforts to abate the worst impacts of extreme heat and flooding. “The need to get the best posFCBJ

THE CHANGING FACE OF THE BRUCE MUSEUM

The large granite mansion that the Rev. Dr. Francis Lister Hawks, a lawyer, clergyman and historian, built in the late-1850s was first known as “Hawk’s Nest,” reflecting the name of its owner, local wildlife, and the estate’s commanding location high on a hill overlooking Long Island Sound and the surrounding salt marsh, woods, farmland and burgeoning village of Greenwich. In 1858, the imposing private residence was purchased by wealthy merchant Robert Moffat Bruce, who, a half century later, deeded the

property to the town of Greenwich, stipulating that it be used as a “...museum for the use and benefit of the public.” In so doing, he also lent his name to what would become an enduring Greenwich cultural landmark, the Bruce Museum, established in 1912. Opening on Saturday, Aug. 8, in the Bruce Museum’s Bantle Lecture Gallery, the exhibition House on the Hill: The Changing Face of the Bruce Museum will explore how the views of the Bruce Museum have transformed over time. Numerous historical images will show the evolution of the structure from its conversion from mansion to modern museum that explores the intersections of art and science. The exhibition will be open to the public through Oct. 11, a moment in time that coincides with the next iteration of the changing face of the Bruce Museum: the Groundbreaking Celebration for the New Bruce addition, scheduled to take place in mid-October. This transformative project will expand the museum from 30,000 square feet to more than 70,000 square feet.

KNOW GREATER CONNECTIONS For Resilience and Recovery

Fulfilling our longtime commitment to helping businesses thrive, we extend our support to help sole proprietors, companies and other organizations maintain resilience amid today’s challenges and prepare for rebuilding and recovery. Now, as misconceptions proliferate among those in need of Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funding and loan forgiveness, our knowledgeable specialists provide accurate details you can trust.

P Yes! There’s still time to apply for a PPP Loan – The application deadline has been extended from June 30 to August 8, 2020. If you haven’t already applied, you still can…and we can help you complete the form.

P Yes! Independent Contractors CAN apply for PPP loans – You do not have to be on a payroll to apply. Sole proprietors

and independent contractors are absolutely eligible. The SBA bases loan decisions on current need and filed 2019 tax returns.

P Yes! There’s still time to apply for loan forgiveness – Forgiveness applications are due any time before loan maturity,

newly EXTENDED to five years. So take the time you need to manage your business now and get our help with forgiveness application documentation.

P No! There’s no need to return funds before the new 24-week covered period extension – The initial eight-week covered period has been EXTENDED. You now have the option to spend your PPP loan funds over a full six months from the date you received your PPP loan.

P No! Do not jeopardize forgiveness by making mistakes in your application – The forgiveness calculation is

complicated. As borrowers begin to complete forgiveness spreadsheets and submit forgiveness applications, we are seeing numerous errors that can result in outright rejection or lengthy delays when revisions and resubmission are required (should this even be permitted). Don’t risk having to repay your loan when the alternative is simple: our skilled, objective loan forgiveness application review.

Connect with Specialists To discover how PPP provisions affect you and to secure support with your applications, documentation and calculations, please connect with us directly or via e-mail at LoanForgiveness@pkfod.com.

CUMMINGS & LOCKWOOD: PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL EXCELLENCE, INTEGRITY AND SERVICE FOR MORE THAN 100 YEARS

ummings & Lockwood was founded in 1909 in Stamford, Conn., by Homer Cummings and Charles Lockwood. Homer Cummings, a former mayor of Stamford in the early 1900s, was vice chairman of the Democratic National Convention in 1910. He played a pivotal role in the election of President Woodrow Wilson in 1912 and served as the attorney general of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1939. In addition to his achievements in politics, Mr. Cummings also had an outstanding career as a courtroom lawyer. He served as state attorney for Fairfield County from 1914 to 1928 and handled the famous Israel case, which is noted in all law school classes on crimi-

nal law and highlighted in the famous feature film Boomerang. Judge Charles Lockwood was first an assistant district attorney in New York City and later, a three-time probate judge in Stamford. He was seriously considered for nomination for governor of Connecticut but devoted himself instead to the business of the Firm. From its original two-lawyer office in 1909, to the office it occupied for more than 50 years in the former National Bank Building, the Firm continued to grow and moved to Four Stamford Plaza where it spent the next 25 years. In 2006, Cummings & Lockwood moved to its new headquarters at Six Landmark Square in Stamford.

The bank building no longer stands, but Cummings & Lockwood has survived world wars, the Great Depression, the emergence of global markets and technologies and profound changes in the practice of law. Homer Cummings and Charles Lockwood still symbolize the dual strengths of our Firm — full-service representation of businesses combined with personalized service to individuals and families. Indeed, the core principles they imparted — professional excellence, integrity and service — remain hallmarks of the Firm today.

LMC ANNOUNCES START OF CONSTRUCTION AT THE SMYTH APARTMENTS High-Rise Community Will Add 414 Apartment Homes, Retail to Prime Stamford Locale LMC, a national leader in apartment development and management, is developing The Smyth, a luxury mixed-use apartment community located near the confluence of Tresser Boulevard and Washington Boulevard in central Stamford. The 15-story high-rise will feature 414 apartment homes, an ample 19,330 square feet of retail space and three stories of garage parking, including one underground level. The Smyth will also offer mezzanine-level, co-working spaces, including private offices and conference capabilities, to allow residents to work from home. The Smyth will welcome first residents in 2021. “Stamford is a highly educated city with a flourishing workforce, and we look forward to joining the area and working to become the best neighbor we can be,” said Greg Belew, division president of the New York/Tri-State area for LMC. “The location is ideal whether residents elect to commute or remain within the neighborhood. We believe our variety of home choices, sophisticated package of amenities and eventual onsite retail will make staying home a viable and

enjoyable option, as well.” Situated at 885 Washington Boulevard, The Smyth is being constructed with a modern industrial chic aesthetic and will offer walkable access to several shopping, dining and nightlife options from its center-of-town location. Positioned along an active streetscape, the site boasts a Walk Score of 95, indicating a walker’s paradise. The Palace Theater, Stamford Center for The Arts and Miller River Park are among the additional attractions within walking distance. The site sits within a short drive of Interstate 95, U.S. Route 1 and Merritt Parkway, which provide connectivity to several other key northeast locales. That includes New York City, which sits less than 40 miles to the southwest, and its abundance of employment opportunities.
