Aproposal has been made to redevelop the former Renaissance Westchester Hotel at 80 W. Red Oak Lane in Harrison into a mixed-use commu nity that would have the potential of creating up to 760 residential rental units along with about 2,500 square feet of retail space and cul tural facilities that would be avail
able to the general public.
The project is known as Renaissance Harrison and would be developed by the firms Rose Equities and Garden Communities. The principals of the two firms have known each other for decades and jointly developed properties with almost 5,000 residential units.

apartments and more than 25 mil lion square feet of retail, office and hotel space.
Rose Equities and Garden Communities currently are build ing The Residences at Main, a 260-unit apartment community in Trumbull, Connecticut.
“Harrison’s Comprehensive Plan has called for the reimaging of what’s known as the Teardrop Neighborhood. They did some of
the heavy lifting already,” Leonard Glickman, principal of Rose Equities, told the Business Journals.

Zaino, a labor law expert with
clients across multiple industries, started the discussion with a focus on the labor law implications of major workplace incidents. He pointed to gun violence as a par ticularly concerning cause, noting that by July 5 the U.S. had seen more than 300 mass shootings during 2022.
“Every year, approximately 2 million employees are victims of workplace violence,” he said. “Those are quite alarming num bers for employers given the rise in workplace violence and just vio lence in general.”

Craig Berg has taught the technique at companies large and small and himself has been prac ticing TM daily for more than 50 years. He was personally trained to teach TM by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who achieved global recogni tion as guru to The Beatles. Berg has taught TM in countries such as India, Brazil, the Philippines and Portugal as well as the U.S. He has a master’s degree in Business Administration from Maharishi International University, and a doctorate in Maharishi’s Vedic Administration from Maharishi European Research University. He has been doing advanced research in consciousness with the Maharishi Purusha Program based in Romney, West Virginia.
According to the American Psychological Association’s Dictionary of Psychology, TM is a technique of concentrative med itation for achieving an altered state of consciousness. The APA says that the modern version consists of six steps that culmi nate in sitting with eyes closed while repeating a mantra for two 20-minute blocks of time each day. A mantra is a word or sound selected to aid in concentration while meditating. Repeating the mantra blocks distractions and induces a state of relaxation.
“I’ve taught in a lot of IT com panies,” Berg told the Business Journals. “I taught several cours es to Motorola executives and computer scientists and software developers. These software engi neers would tell me ... with the more settled expanded aware ness they get from transcenden tal meditation, what used to take them three hours now maybe in
15 minutes they get an insight and they’re able to accomplish it.”
Berg said that the technique enables people to do less in the way of expending time and effort while accomplishing more.
“The technique, aside from being merely a mental technique, it provides profound rest to the entire organism,” Berg said. “The body gets a rest in many senses much deeper than the deepest point of a full night’s sleep and this relieves the deep-rooted stresses of the organism and makes the person more energetic and more resistant to disease. The scientific research has shown that medical utilization, hospitalization and hospital care is reduced by about 50% in people who have been practicing transcen dental meditation.”
Berg said that the physiolog ical state created through TM is the exact opposite of stress and allows the brain to act more effi ciently with greater creativity. He said that artists report that with in the first few days of learning TM their use of color improves, perception is more refined and creativity in enhanced .
Berg said that TM is taught in sessions over a four-day period, with individual instruction the first day and group sessions for the next three. He said that on the fourth day he always asks the
group if they have noticed being less tired since being introduced to TM and invariably they say they have.
“This is an amazing thing. I mean, think if you had a pill that could make everybody feel more rested and energetic in just four days. Everybody would want that pill,” Berg said. “Well, you know what? We’ve got that thing and it doesn’t have the side effects that many pills have.”
Berg said that use of TM helps companies reach their goal of having employees who are more productive.
Berg cited a program at the Montrose Veterans Administration Medical Center in Westchester where veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder learned TM and within one month their symptoms were dramatically improved.
“The National Institutes of Health has given some $26 mil lion in research on the health benefits of transcendental med itation,” Berg said. “Your work ers are going to be healthier. The American Heart Association said that among all the different types of meditation and relaxation tech niques transcendental meditation was the only one that showed very significant reduction in high blood pressure. So, healthier, hap

pier, more productive workers.”
Berg said that a hedge fund that manages about $140 billion in assets has for the past 10 years been making TM available to all of its employees.
“When I was in college and studied psychology they said we’re using only 10% of our poten tial,” Berg said. “Imagine if the full range of the human potential were available. Obviously the per son is going to be more creative, more productive. He’s going to be less inclined to do something illegal because he now is able to fulfill his desires in a natural life-supporting way.”
Berg said there are nearly 700 published scientific studies about TM and many show that TM provides a deeper quality of rest and a greater orderliness of the brain than merely sitting with one’s eyes closed. He described sitting with one’s eyes closed as like flying in a Piper Cub while TM is like flying in a Lear jet.
Berg said that when he was teaching at a TM center in White Plains, he did a survey of former students and found that approxi mately 85% of them were continu ing to use it. Berg recalled that Reader’s Digest had reported TM had the lowest dropout rate of all the different self-help modalities looked at by the publication.

Denise Cesareo said she is both excited and sad to be retir ing from her role as executive director of ElderHouse after 30 years on the job. The Norwalk-based not-forprofit adult day center provides seniors with community, engaging activities and medical supervision during the day before returning them to their homes.
“Adult day service was very new 30 years ago when I came into it,” Cesareo recalled. “I have a master’s degree in education and I had worked in childcare, setting up a childcare center and those skills seemed to translate very well into adult day services in that you take a group of people, be it kids or adults, you bring them in for the day and you make their day absolutely wonderful, and you want to make them come back the next day.”
Similarly, diverse people with dispa rate needs and interests can be expected to show up in both settings. The key distinction, according to Cesareo, is that providing service for children includes consideration of their increasing levels of independence whereas aging adults typ ically become more dependent on others
as they deal with aging diseases.
“But both populations are at risk,” Cesareo noted. “You can’t leave children home alone, and for some of our adults they would not be safe if they were left home alone day after day...”
That basic principle has been the guiding force behind the organization since its founding.
“Our mission is the same as when I first started here 30 years ago,” Cesareo said. “Maybe it was written a little dif ferently, but it is still the same in terms of our job, which is to keep people in the community, in their homes and out of premature placement in nursing homes.”
“Truthfully, nobody wants to be in a nursing home, nobody wants to be in institutional care,” she added. “We knew there was something better. We knew that if we could provide something during the day and we could send people home to their caregivers in the evening we could keep people living in their homes, in their communities, with their families. We believe people are better off, happier, with more quality of life when they are living in their own homes with their families.”
What has changed since she started is that people are living longer and posing different challenges.
“When I first came here the average age of a client was 76. It is now 82-and-ahalf,” she said. “So, we’re spending a lot more time with people who are in their nineties and over a hundred. We have more clients in their nineties than ever before.”
Further changes to their approach proved necessary in the past few years as facilities working with the elderly took pains to ensure safety during the Covid pandemic. Cesareo described the challenges of being able to only have one client on the bus at a time, helping people with memory issues understand why they were wearing masks they don’t remember putting on, and the disrup tions to routines, which people had built their lives around.
“There were caregivers who were unprepared to take care of a person with Alzheimer’s 24/7,” Cesareo recalled. “We shut down for a couple months because we had to, but we reopened as soon as we could, because we had to relieve that caregiver, even if they came for only
a couple hours because that caregiver needed a break.”
ElderHouse turned out to be a truly essential organization, keeping individ uals out of expensive and Covid vulner able nursing homes, making it possible for those with older loved ones to focus on other tasks, and proving to be a meet ing point for a vulnerable segment of the community.
Cesareo said that owing to the talent ed people she worked with and a board of directors whose excellent fundraising has made it possible to offer truly afford able services she is confident in the con tinued success of ElderHouse.
“I’m still as passionate today as I was 30 years ago when I walked in that door, because I know the work is amazing,” she stated. “The staff is marvelous, every thing’s working really, really well. So, it is a good time to hand it over, but it’s a bit like my child — ‘Here take care of it!’ But I am very prepared, and I think as an organization we are prepared to take the next step.”

Attorney Seth Mandelbaum of the White Plains-based law firm McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt LLP said that a market ing study shows a strong demand for the pro posed luxury rental units at the location. He said that neighbors of the project are already welcoming it, with Wegmans and USTA, the immediate neighboring properties, as well as the Building and Realty Institute strongly supporting the project. The builders had a Zoom meeting with parents of children who attend The Windward School at 40 W. Red Oak Lane and have been working closely with the headmaster of the school.
Glickman said that Renaissance Harrison would be designed to be pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly and there would be a cutthrough route to the neighboring Wegmans.
“The proposed 28-acre community will be unlike any other development in Westchester. It will adhere to 21st-century standards of walking and biking, sustainabili ty, and respect for the property’s outstanding natural landscape,” Glickman said. “We call ourselves owner-builders rather than devel opers. Nothing wrong with being developer, but we’re owner-builders, private, we use no third-party equity, all private, all family money.”
Glickman estimated that the Renaissance Harrison project would cost between $400 and $500 million. He said there have been several informal meetings with Harrison officials to discuss concepts for the proj ect’s scope and design. Glickman expressed a hope that shovels could be in the ground in 2024.
Glickman told the Business Journals
that the apartments themselves would be larger than those typically found in new Westchester buildings. He also said that Rose Equities and Garden Communities intend to be long-term owners.
“Because we’re long-term generational owners, we build always larger units than the market,” Glickman said. “If the market’s 800 square feet, we build 1,000 square feet. It’s a quality of life issue, it’s also a competitive advantage issue, and so we seek what’s the best, not what’s the most units.”
Glickman said that they plan to include 5% of the units as affordable workforce hous ing even though Harrison does not have an affordable housing requirement.
At its Sept. 14 meeting, the Harrison Planning Board unanimously voted to declare its intent to serve as the Lead Agency for the environmental review of the Renaissance Harrison application.
Renaissance Harrison is being proposed for construction in two phases. There would be residential areas known as the North Quad and South Quad. In addition, there would be two large gathering spaces to be known as the Commons and the Mansion. There also would be two sets of triplex villas. The developers say the most that would be built in each phase would be 380 residential units in a mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom luxury apartment homes.
Proposed amenities include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, fitness cen ters, tennis courts, fire pits and an outdoor amphitheater. Glickman said that communi ty groups would be welcome to stage events at the amphitheater.
“Our plan will be very sustainable in land scaping, construction, design, and all of it
will have sustainability as an underpinning,” Glickman said.
“Quality of life is our priority, and we are emphasizing this ideal with large living spaces. We envision amenities that will thrill the spirit and soothe the soul. Our idea is to deliver an unprecedented residential lifestyle that reflects the surrounding communities’ tastes and expectations,” said Scott Loventhal of Garden Communities.
The plan includes the preservation and renovation of the 30-room, 1905 Normandystyle mansion on the property that was at one time the country estate of architect John Merven Carrere. Among the best-known projects by Carrere is the New York Public Library in Manhattan.
The firms Perkins Eastman, Moore Ruble Yudell, Sasaki and Studio Valerius have been brought in to design the project.
Rose Equities and Garden Communities estimate the project will generate approx imately $30 million in annual tax revenue for the town of Harrison and the Harrison
Central School District.
“Renaissance Harrison makes sense for the Teardrop Neighborhood,” said Glickman.
In reporting last September on the perma nent closing of the Renaissance Westchester Hotel, the Business Journals pointed out that the property formerly had been a Stouffer’s Inn. On Dec. 4, 1980, a fire broke out in the third-floor meeting room portion of the hotel. Corporate breakfast meetings were under way at the time. Twenty-six people died, including employees of Arrow Electronics of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Nestle, which owned the Stouffer Corp. The fire did not spread to the room area of the hotel. A bus boy was convicted of arson and murder but the conviction was reversed on appeal and the busboy was freed.
Stouffer split into food and hotel compa nies. In 1996, Nestle sold the Stouffer Hotel Co. to Renaissance Hotels and Resorts. In March 1997, Marriott International announced it had completed its $1 billion acquisition of Renaissance.
U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires all employ ers to provide “a workplace free from haz ard.” While there are some obvious aspects of that duty such as ensuring safety regu lations are followed and that there are no obvious causes to accidents, in the case of violence OSHA evaluates the situation on whether an employer followed the “General Duty Clause.”
“The General Duty Clause does not cre ate a binding cause of action so an employee could not bring a claim directly under the clause,” he said. “It can only be enforced by OSHA, and to prove a violation of the clause OSHA needs to show that the employ er failed to render its workplace free of all hazards. Also, that the particular hazard was recognized, the hazard caused or was likely to cause death or serious physical harm, and that there was a feasible and useful method to correct the particular hazard.”
Zaino broke down some cases of work place violence where OSHA sided with employees on a claim, and other cases where employers came out on top. The differences between those instances were often minor, so he emphasized that following the reg ulations closely is often the best course of action.
Where this gets particularly tricky, Zaino observed, is with employees who display “red flags” that they could be a source of violence. These need to be handled on a case-by-case basis he cautioned. An audi ence member asked about a situation they faced, where an employee was charged by police for criminal possession of a pistol.
“I typically do not advise an employer to take an action based on a charge in and of itself,” Zaino replied, “Unless that charge is quite serious. But I think given that the nature of that criminal possession of a pistol that could just very well be somebody who
has not registered that particular pistol, I don’t know that that necessarily warrants an employment action.”
However, that same employee warrant ed increased attention, according to Zaino. Vigilance is the key, but there are legal rami fications to overaction.
Safety expert Mike Miele followed Zaino with a presentation on how to secure a work place physically against acts of violence, whether a sudden outburst from an employ ee or customer or a deadlier issue such as a mass shooter. Miele has more than 20 years of experience as a health and safety manager for a number of companies, including Stratford’s Sikorsky Aircraft and is currently the EHS Business Regional Manager at Danfoss Power Solutions in Prospect, Connecticut.
Miele discussed key steps to protect a facility and placed much of the emphasis on developing site specific plans. Running drills, performing inspections and coordi
nating with local law enforcement were the best way to improve safety in his view.
Miele urged attendees to explore oppor tunities to have the police fire blank rounds in the building so employees learn what gunshots in their space sound like.
He also recommended designating floor marshals to direct groups and respond to changing situations, and making arrange ments with neighboring businesses to let employees shelter there in case of an evac uation. The specific ways to prepare can differ widely from location to location, but planning will always improve the situation.
Those improvements may seem small, but Miele warned they can be significant.
“The average time of an incident is roughly five minutes when we’re talking about an active shooter and an average time for police response is 15 minutes,” Miele said, noting that every second matters in a narrow timeframe.

(Editor’s note: As another school year takes off, two major Roman Catholic educational institutions in Westchester County are celebrating big anniversaries: Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains turns 75, while Maria Regina High School in Hartsdale turns 65.
Both schools are known for rigorous academic standards that include an assortment of Advanced Placement (AP), college credit and honors courses, attracting students from the Bronx to Connecticut — many from public elementary schools and some who are not even Catholic. Both take a holistic approach to education — intellectually, physically and spiritually — that embraces everything from athletics to the arts, the sciences to business.
And both are not your grandparents’ or even your parents’ high schools. In 2009, the Archdiocese of New York website notes, 10 high schools that were formerly part of the Catholic High School Association became independent schools overseen by boards of trustees. (The arch diocese retains ownership of the school buildings and property.) In addition to Maria Regina and Stepinac, they are Kennedy Catholic in Somers; Cardinal Hayes High School and Cardinal Spellman High School in the Bronx; Moore Catholic High School and Monsignor Farrell High School on Staten Island; Our Lady of Lourdes High School in Poughkeepsie; and John S. Burke High School in Goshen, New York.
Under this model, the school’s president is charged with fundraising and marketing, while the principal is responsible for the faculty, staff, student body and curriculum — an arrangement similar to such cultural institutions as The Metropolitan Museum of Art, which has a fiduciary president/CEO and a curatorial director.
Recently, Westfair visited with the Rev. Thomas E. Collins, Stepinac’s president, story below, and Anna E. Parra, Maria Regina’s president, Page 12, and discovered that while the schools remain devoted to traditional Catholic values, they are also passionate about preparing stu dents for modern careers in an ever-changing world:
BY GEORGETTE GOUVEIA ggouveia@westfairinc.com
LED ticker displays and a Bloomberg Terminal chart the topsy-turvy stock market in real time. But we’re not on the bustling floor of the New York Stock Exchange. Instead, we’re in the 1,500-square-foot Finance Center of Archbishop Stepinac High School in White
Plains. It’s fitting that we should hold our interview with the Rev. Thomas E. Collins, the school’s president, there, for the center is just one way in which Stepinac goes about the business of education and the education of future business leaders as it gets a jump on its 75th anniversary — it was actually founded in 1948 — with Oct. 19 and Oct. 23 open houses and a May 5th gala at Westchester Country Club. (Stepinac
began the year, as it always does, with the Mass of the Holy Spirit, celebrated by Timothy Cardinal Dolan, archbishop of New York, on Sept. 19.)
Indeed, Collins says the reason the school has lasted 75 years — and that 30% of the 800 students come from other, mainly Christian denominations — is that “It’s always been a place where you can get a first-rate education.” And he should know. Growing up in White Plains after his family moved from Yonkers, Collins and his two brothers braved busy Mamaroneck Avenue to attend the school, across the street from their home. After graduating in 1979 and going on to receive a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from Iona College in New Rochelle and studying for the priesthood at St. Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers, Collins ultimately returned to Stepinac and its faculty and staff of 75 in 1995, serving as religion teacher, associate dean of students, dean of students and, for 11 years now, president of the school.
It’s an institution, Collins says, that has “great athletic programs” — he coached the golf team — “and a great theater pro gram.” (Actors Alan Alda and Jon Voight are among the alumni, and we remember many a musical featuring students from Stepinac, Maria Regina High School and the now-defunct Academy of Our Lady of Good Counsel.)
Ultimately, he says, “(Stepinac has) always been a place that prepared you for
the next step in life.” With 99% of the stu dents going on to universities and the rest to trade schools and family businesses, that has meant an increased emphasis on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, the arts and math) education.
Besides the Finance Center, which is adjacent to the all-digital textbook library, the 184,700-square-foot school includes a 2,200-square-foot STEAM Center, with its Makerspace and visual arts design stu dio; a Leonardo adult patient simulator to instruct students in life-saving procedures; and two interactive Columbia Universitymodeled learning spaces.
These dedicated areas support pro grams designed to give students a leg up in the world. All students take two sessions of engineering, not because everyone is going to become an engineer, Collins says, but to expose them to this discipline.
Engineering — along with economics and finance, health sciences and the law — figures into the Susan and Daniel P. Mahoney Honors Academy, which allows top students to delve into one of these four specific fields. They and a panel of experts come together for an annual symposium, the most recent of which considered Mars colonization from scientific, financial and legal standpoints.
Such career fields aren’t just academic, however. In the Joyce and Frank Colangelo Entrepreneurship Program, a three-year minor concentration that begins for inter ested students in sophomore year, partic ipants are mentored by alumni who are business owners, professionals and com munity leaders. Beginning next spring, this program will culminate in The Senior Internship Program, with seniors complet ing a final project and 60 hours of intern ing in lieu of class.
Overarching these programs are the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Collins says that he is not in the busi ness of converting anyone, but rather that the school is guided by “traditional Judeo-Christian” values and no doubt the example of its namesake, Blessed Aloysius Cardinal Stepinac, a Croatian priest, arch bishop and patriot who stood up to the Nazis and later the communists in what was then Yugoslavia, dying of the effects of a long imprisonment in 1960. He was beat ified by Pope John Paul II in 1998.
Stepinac, the school, Collins says, affords individuals the opportunity to live in community “in a peaceful way.”

Thomas E. Collins, president of the school, looks on. The cardinal celebrates the Mass of the Holy Spirit at the start of Stepinac’s school year, with the most recent being Sept. 19.The Rotary Room at the Fairfield Library was recently packed for Tom V. Quinn, a local businessman with deep-running family ties to the library, who held the launch of his newly published book “Delivering Greatness: How I Found Success… and You Can, Too!”
Quinn has decades of experi ence in the food industry and is currently the executive vice pres ident and chief operating officer for Nuovo Pasta Productions, a Stratford-based producer of fresh pasta. Over the course of that time, he has amassed a collection of sto ries and insights, which he wanted to share.
During his career, he placed an emphasis on mentorships in his own life, and much of the book is concerned with how to effectively provide guidance and support to
one’s juniors in a business setting.
“I have envisioned this eve ning probably about 3,000 times,” Quinn told the crowd. “In 1,502 of them it was a room full of people like this and an amazing evening I’ll remember forever. In 1,498 of them three people showed up and I forgot my pants.”
Caring for others is a central element of the book, and not only in business contexts.
“In the late 1990s the company for which I was vice president of sales merged three divisions into one,” Quinn wrote in his book.
“The incoming regime decided to have a make-it-or-break-it meet ing on my son’s seventh birth day. I politely explained that it was my son’s birthday and that I would be happy to come down to Philadelphia the day before, meet all day, have dinner, meet all night if they wish. But at four in the morning I was going to be leaving for my son’s birthday so that I
would be there before he woke to open up his presents.
“On my way home that morn ing one of the direct reports called me in disbelief that I had taken such an action. I explained that for nine years I preached ‘work hard, play hard’ and delivered without fail, but that family always came first. If I didn’t have those same eth ics when my neck was on the line I didn’t deserve to be their leader and didn’t deserve their respect. My son had a great birthday, and I was fired shortly after. Six weeks after I was fired, I was hired by the company where I have been for more than 18 years.”
Quinn’s belief that success is measured in ways other than raw metrics or perfect adherence to a job description was also on dis play with regard to his attitudes toward the relative profitability of his book.
“I’m happy to answer any ques tions people may have about either
the writing process or why you should not go into writing, why you should find a good day job,” Quinn joked.
Quinn noted that the idea for the book was originally some thing he was writing for his family as a way to preserve stories and observations from his career for the future, though when his edi tors convinced him that the book had potential, he shifted gears and focused on stories that imparted
useful wisdom for those he could not personally help along their career journeys.
“I mentor younger people mainly because I’m really old,” Quinn said of why he placed such an emphasis on mentorship. “If you hang around long enough the odds of you being older than the people, you’re mentoring really work in your favor. So, all I’ve ever asked of all the people I’ve ever talked to is to just share what works.”

ANew York City couple who wanted to buy a large Scarsdale house claims that Houlihan Lawrence Inc. real estate brokerage jacked up the price by manipulating the reported square foot age.
Changhe Yuan and Wei Xie sued Houlihan Lawrence, broker Eileen L. Brennan and sellers Douglas W. Losordo and Tina Thorne, to get back a $256,000 down payment that the defendants alleged ly refused to return after a $2.56 million deal collapsed.
Changhe and Wei wanted a house of at least 3,000 square feet, according to the com plaint filed Sept. 6 in Westchester Supreme Court. Brennan and the sellers allegedly list ed the 2,629-square-foot house on Carthage Road at 3,626 square feet.
The sellers had included a finished base ment as part of the gross living area, the
complaint states, in violation of appraisal standards. By increasing the square footage, the price per square foot appeared to be $579 instead of $798, and was lower than the average of $690 per square foot for similar houses nearby.
Had they known the true size, the couple claims, they “would not have looked at the property, let alone signed a contract and walked into such a fraud.”
Houlihan Lawrence states in a response to the allegations that it has dutifully served its clients for over 130 years. “We are confi dent in our business practices and continue to represent our buyer and seller clients with integrity.”
The house in question is a four bedroom, 3.5 bathroom colonial built in 1987 in the Five Corners section of the village.
The house had been listed at $2.1 million, according to the complaint, but Changhe and Wei agreed to pay $2.56 million after Brennan said there was a bidding war among 13 buyers.
Now the couple thinks the bidding war may have been artificial, created to hype up the price of the property so that unwary firsttime, singe-home buyers like them “would fall into the trap.”
Brennan listed the sale as an all cash offer, according to the complaint, even though the couple did not have that much money and they had applied for a mortgage with Citibank.
After they signed a contract in April, the multiple listing service listed the house at 2,629 square feet.
A week later, Citibank refused to execute a mortgage, after its appraiser calculated the square footage at 2,629 and estimated the value of the property at no more than $2.1 million.
The couple notified the sellers that they had insufficient funds to buy the house with out a mortgage, questioned the square foot age, and asked to cancel the deal or reduce the price.
A few days later, the square footage was put back at 3,629 on the multiple listing service.
On June 6, the sellers offered to lower the price to $2.19 million and asked Changhe and Wei to waive any claims concerning the square footage or valuation, which the seller
“vigorously disputes.”
Even at the reduced price, according to the complaint, the couple did not have enough cash for the deal and they refused to sign.
The sellers put the property back on the market on June 10, at $2.1 million, without notifying Changhe and Wei, the complaint states. The couple asked to cancel their deal and asked for the down payment. The sellers refused.
On June 15, Changhe and Wei agreed to buy the property for $2.19 million and waived the question of square footage.
The deal was scheduled to close on July 6. But on July 5, the complaint states, the couple “came to realize that they had been cheated.”
They asked to cancel the deal and get back their down payment.
The owners put the property back on the market at $2.1 million and listed the square footage at 3,629.
The house sold for $1.95 million in mid-September, according to real estate web sites.
Changhe and Wei are demanding the return of their down payment and other unspecified damages. They are represented by Queens attorney Brian S. Yang.
Located just off Exit 31 on I-95 is a 16,500 square foot “big blue build ing,” as it is affectionately called locally, which is home to approximately 200 antiques dealers.
Stratford Antique Center has served the area since its founding in 1992 by Kenneth “Kenny” Wynn.
“People thought he was absolutely nuts when he opened this business,” said Stephen McKay, Wynn’s son-in-law and current owner of Stratford Antique Center, who added that “half the people that said, ‘We’ll never leave our merchandise here and have you sell it for us,’ they all moved in.”
Dealers at the center are afforded a hands-off approach in how they move prod ucts, with the center allowing them to drop off their antiques and collectibles at their respective booths, with selling duties falling on the center.
Items on offer at Stratford Antique
Center are fairly priced in contrast to other shops, according to McKay.
“My dealers are into moving merchan dise. So, if they bought it for $10, if they made $20 on it, they’re happy. Whereas in other shops, if they bought it for $10, they’re asking $1,000 for it,” McKay said. “We’re a mom-andpop picker’s place. People can come in here
and still buy something, take it somewhere else and resell it, and make another $10.”
Items available for purchase include jewelry, paintings, vinyl records, pottery, clothing, toys, kitchenware and furniture. The assortment of goods is varied enough that people in the theater business swing by the center on occasion, grabbing as much material as they can for use as props in pro ductions.
“I love them — they’re carte blanche,” McKay said. “They send up a truck the next day, pick everything up, then it goes back down to Manhattan or wherever it’s going to go.”
The arrangement the center has with its dealers is popular enough that many who manage to secure a booth rarely if ever leave, according to McKay. Would-be dealers inter ested in doing business at the big blue build ing are placed on a four-to-six-year waitlist.
“Every dealer wants another spot because they do so well,” he said. “I take care of everything for the dealers. They don’t have to be here.”
Stratford Antique Center may not be the most lucrative business, McKay admitted, but he finds working at the center to be high ly fulfilling and rewarding.
“We’re just one big happy family here,” McKay said. “The business doesn’t make a lot of money, but it keeps a lot of people happy.”
With October fast approaching, the team at the big blue building is currently prepar ing for the droves of antique hunters that motor through Connecticut during the peak fall foliage season. While one worker on the floor is enough to attend to customers during the slower summer days, October requires more staff to handle the seasonal shoppers, with three or four people needed on the floor and three or four people behind the counter.
The near future will see the property undergo renovations, with the roof already having work done on it and a more effective heating system having been put in place. McKay plans to have the building repainted in time for the throngs of customers expect ed next month.
Gov. Ned Lamont has approved $31.3 million in state grants for 77 small towns in Connecticut that will be used to complete infrastructure improve ments.
The grants are provided through the Small Town Economic Assistance Program (STEAP), a state program managed by the Office of Policy and Management (OPM) that allocates grants to small towns for economic development, community conservation and quality-of-life capital projects.
“Our small towns are part of what makes Connecticut such a great place to live and work and by partnering with them on these grants, the state can help get these infra structure projects completed so these towns can continue to thrive, remain competitive, attract businesses, and improve the quality of life for our residents,” Lamont said in a press statement.
Within Fairfield County, the following localities received STEAP grants: Brookfield: $500,000 in state funding is approved for the extension of the Brookfield Market Area Sewer System. This will be matched by $313,696.75 from the town.
Easton: $244,000 in state funding
is approved for new pickleball and tennis courts. This will be matched by $61,000 from the town.
Fairfield: $500,000 in state funding is approved for sidewalk improvements. This will be matched by $111,298.60 from the town.
Monroe: $500,000 in state funding is approved for the reconstruction of Old Zoar Road. This will be matched by $300,000 from the town.
Redding: $203,856 in state funding is approved for the installation of a walking and fitness path. This will be matched by $69,564 from the town.
Shelton: $120,000 in state funding is approved for the installation of a walking path along the Housatonic River. This will be matched by $25,000 from the munici pal government. Shelton is also receiving $120,000 in state funding is approved for the restoration of the Shelton Canal that will be matched by $30,000 from the municipal government.
Weston: $500,000 in state funding is approved for building renovations at the Weston Police Department. This will be matched by $264,926 from the town.
Westport: $250,000 in state funding is approved for the replacement of side walks near Green Farms School. This will be matched by $100,000 from the town.
Stephen McKay, owner of the Stratford Antique Center. Photo by Edward Arriaza.On a late-summer morning, the seniors stream into Maria Regina High School in Hartsdale for ori entation, their bright pink knee socks and backpacks indicative of their fourth-year status.
“Ladies, check the list for your home rooms, then proceed to the auditorium,” a member of the security team of active-duty and retired police officers announces.
Another school year and yet a year like no other as Maria Regina — founded in 1957 by the Sisters of the Resurrection as the first all-girls, college-preparatory high school in Westchester County — celebrates its 65th anniversary with an Oct. 22 open house and an Oct. 27 gala at the VIP Country Club in New Rochelle.
Why has Maria Regina lasted 65 years?
“I think something that makes the school special is the sense of community — the faculty, staff, students, alumnae and parents,” says President Anna E. Parra, who with Principal Maria R. Carozza-McCaffrey forms Maria Regina’s complementary leadership team, with Parra handling the fundraising and marketing and CarozzaMcCaffrey the day-to-day operations. “Even as a new year begins, everyone transitions to a feeling of knowing one another.”
Parra notes that 20% of the 75-member faculty and staff are, like Carozza-McCaffrey (Class of 1999), alumnae. “It brings every thing full circle,” she adds.
We are talking in the sunny courtyard of the school’s 73,000-square-foot, mid-cen tury modern building in the shadow of what will be the students’ community gar den, off the new handicap-accessible, stateof-the-art Eco-Conscious Environmental and Life Sciences Laboratory. Made possi ble by a $75,000 grant from The Thomas & Agnes Carvel Foundation in Yonkers — the largest the school has ever received — and a $25,000 one from the Charles A. Mastronardi Foundation in Wilmington, Delaware, the lab fulfills several objectives, Parra and Carozza-McCaffrey have said — to align with student interests; to make sci ence classes more accessible physically, as all the other science classrooms are on the second floor of the two-story building; and to give students an edge in the post-second ary landscape.
With that edge in mind, the school is also applying for Middle States Accreditation. (It already has accreditation from the New York State Board of Regents.) The process includes a schoolwide self-examination to assess strengths and needs. Among those needs on the 21-acre campus was an
upgraded athletic field. On Aug. 14, Maria Regina broke ground on a $2 million turf field for soccer and softball that will debut next spring.
It’s all part of a holistic approach to edu cation encapsulated in the school’s mission statement, to create a place “where young women are encouraged to achieve academ ic excellence, empowered to be compas sionate leaders and enriched with the Spirit
to live a life of charity, truth and service to others.”
This spirit is exemplified in part by the school’s groundbreaking marching band, which became the first all-girls ensemble to march in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Manhattan this past March 17; and a com munity services requirement of 10 hours for freshman and sophomores each, 20 for juniors and 40 for seniors. (Maria Regina is
also the first high school in the archdiocese to establish a Catholic Relief Services Club.)
Sometimes an opportunity for service will come out of suggestion by a member of the diverse body of 500 students, Parra says, half of whom come from public ele mentary schools, a statistic that is grow ing. Junior Sofia Mooney — a student with achondroplasia, a type of dwarfism — orga nized a day to bring awareness to the con dition using educational announcements and asking the community to wear green to support the initiative, raising $700 in the process, Parra adds.
“We encourage our students to have a voice, to lead,” she says. But that voice has to have the same tone as classroom instruction — “factual, honest, open and respectful.”
It is a tone set by the Sisters of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ, founded in Rome in 1891 by Celine Borzecka, and daughter Hedwig — the first time a mother and daughter had established an order in Catholic history. In 1957, Francis Cardinal Spellman, then archbishop of New York, asked the sisters to create the first Catholic girls school in Westchester. Two years later, the first freshman and soph omores entered the new building. In the meantime, however, classes were held in the convent, a house adjacent to the school that is used for administrative offices and retreats.
After a tour of the school, Parra — who holds degrees from Fordham University and the now-defunct College of New Rochelle and had a long career in arch diocesan fundraising — invites us to visit the convent, with its wood-paneled chapel. (There is a smaller chapel in the school.) Though the nuns stopped teaching at Maria Regina in 2019 — they’re now based in Castleton, New York — the former convent still exudes an air of abbey-like serenity.
“We’re carrying on their mission,” Parra says.
Yearly tuition at Maria Regina High School is $13,500. The open house takes place 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. Oct. 22.
The 65th Anniversary Gala will be held at 6 p.m. Oct. 27 at the VIP Country Club in New Rochelle. Alumna Mary Calvi, https:// www.wagmag.com/a-tale-of-two-marystwo-centuries-apart/ the 12-time New York Emmy Award-winning journalist and author of the new “If A Poem Could Live and Breathe: A Novel of Teddy Roosevelt’s First Love,” will be the emcee.

Gavriel Rosenfeld, a profes sor of history and director of the Judaic Studies Program at Fairfield University, has been named president of the Center for Jewish History.
Located in New York City, the Center for Jewish History is home to five in-house partner organizations — the American Jewish Historical Society, American Sephardi Federation, Leo Baeck Institute, Yeshiva University Museum, and YIVO Institute for Jewish Research — whose combined holdings account for the larg est collection of Jewish history and cul ture held outside Israel.
Rosenfeld is a specialist in the his tory of Nazi Germany, Holocaust stud ies, memory studies and counterfactual history, and he has credits as author or editor of eight books, including “Building After Auschwitz: Jewish Architecture and the Memory of the Holocaust” (Yale University Press, 2011), which was a final ist for the National Jewish Book Award. He was made aware of the vacancy at the nonprofit when Bernard Michael, who held the positions of president and CEO since 2018, announced his plan to retire earlier this year.
“The stars aligned and I was able to make the right impression on the right people,” Rosenfeld said about gaining his new role. “And given my stature as a Jewish studies historian who has pub lished a ton of books and has the aca demic credibility to lead the institution, that was able to seal the deal.”
Unlike Michael, Rosenfeld will not take on the chief executive duties — that role was assigned to Rio Daniel, the orga nization’s chief operating officer.
“We’ve split the leadership position into two components,” Rosenfeld said. “So, whereas prior presidents were also CEOs at the same time and were in charge of all the fundraising, liaison, activity and so forth, the new CEO Rio Daniel is going to be focused on that aspect of the position, whereas I’m going to be more in charge of programming, vision and com ing up with the next two- or three- year development and growth plan. There was something to be gained by dividing up the tasks between the academic wing, if you will, and the finance wing.”
Rosenfeld forecasted his immediate priorities as “building on our already
existing strength, in the sense that this is still the preeminent destination for scholars doing research and Jewish his tory — that is never going to change. And it is hard to improve upon that, except for acquiring new archival collections.”
Rosenfeld is also focused on con tinuing the center’s online presentations — a symposium from last October on fighting anti-Semitism drew thousands of viewers and an observance of the 75th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel is planned for next April.
“We’re in the business of being the alpha-to-omega of Jewish research insti
tutions,” he continued. “But there is also a second dimension, which is to say that we’re not just there to be a resource for scholars — we’re there to be a public his tory-oriented organization as well. And whether that’s in the form of bringing fellows who can have short-term or longterm grants to do research here at the center and then go off into the public history world — as secondary school edu cators or as people who work in muse ums, historic preservation agencies, what have you — we want to make sure that we’re training the next generation of public historians.”

As part of a series of events cele brating the 50th anniversary of Touro University of which New York Medical College (NYMC) is a member, a forum took place during which execu tives from leading firms and institutions in the biomedical field discussed innovation and entrepreneurship.
Salomon Amar, senior vice president for research affairs at Touro, welcomed the guests to the forum and character ized innovation as when people disrupt the model and provide new paradigms by which they function and excel.
Alan Kadish, president of Touro University, talked about technological advancements over the years in his field of interest, cardiology.
“During my career at least we’ve devel oped therapies to limit the size of heart attacks,” Kadish said. “The way we treat rapid heartbeats from the lower chamber of the heart and the way we prevent sud den death has changed dramatically over the past few decades and those changes have all been the result of breakthrough technology that was never conceived of when I was training and we’ve managed to improve the way patients are treated since then.”
said. “How we grow as a county, how we attract people to live here, how we attract businesses to locate here, they look at an academic institution like New York Medical College as a central attractive entity.”
Westchester County Executive George Latimer said that biomedical technology is playing a significant role in the county’s future and he noted the presence of major companies such as Regeneron. He said that the county intends to continue being a good partner with Touro, NYMC and businesses in the medical field.
“This is the future, this is the cutting edge of where the society goes,” Latimer
Mike Oates, president and CEO of the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corporation, who was involved in devel oping Bioinc, the biotechnology incubator on the NYMC campus in Valhalla, said, “When you peel everything away from our early days of creating biotech as a focused industry here in the valley we knew what we wanted to do was just get smart people in a room. When you get smart people in a room, you get them interacting, you get them communicating and get them resources, and great things happen.”
Speakers from the biotech field who participated in the event included: Peter Fitzgerald, director of the Center for Cardiovascular Technology and Cardiovascular Core Analysis Lab at Stanford University Medical School; Nancy Kelly, president and CEO of Nancy J. Kelly
Alan Kadish.

Mike Oates
+ Associates; Barry Kappel, CEO and pres ident of Sapience Therapeutics; Renee Reijo Pera, president of the McLaughlin Research Institute; Robert Rubin, CEO of the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute; Allan Dozor, professor at NYMC and president of Boston Children’s Health Physicians; Fabrice Fischer, CEO of Blu Ltd.; and George D. Yancopoulos, co-found er and president and CEO of Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
Fitzgerald said that retail medicine practiced at chains such as CVS and Walmart needs to be encouraged in order to treat people who are not accessing prop er care through traditional medical prac tices. He decried the high cost of certain pharmaceuticals such as those approved for certain types of cancers.
Rubin said academic institutions should be supporting and encouraging the devel opment of new approaches to treatments and drugs. He said they should be support ing entrepreneurs in their efforts to find funding for research and development.
“They should be supporting and encouraging the development of new approaches to treatments of human dis ease. Surprisingly many organizations don’t really do that in their culture,” Rubin said. “You’ll find, those of you who have been involved in NIH (National Institutes of Health) funding that frequently the study section rejects really innovative ideas because there isn’t sufficient supporting evidence to fund the activity and institu tions take that view sometimes as well.”
Yancopoulos said that building Regeneron into the multibillion dollar company it is today depended on he and co-founder Leonard Schleifer using what he refers to as “relentless innovation.”
“Starting from the basic science we’ve gone from the basic science to some of the world’s leading treatments for diseases ranging from the major causes of blind ness, to asthma and other allergic diseases, heart disease, cancer,” Yancopoulos said. “We were the first company to literally start a company and bet it all on mouse genetics.”
Yancopoulos characterized curing disease as the hardest thing that human beings try to do. He pointed out that the pharmaceutical industry spends approxi mately $200 billion a year on research and development and that 95% of experimen tal medicines fail.
“Over the last 10 years we’ve had an incredibly productive stretch for us, prob ably the most productive stretch in the history of the industry,” Yancopoulos said. “Ten FDA approvals or authorizations over the last 10 years. It’s all based on our sci ence and our technologies and, of course, our people.”
Yancopoulos said it took over 20 years for Regeneron to get its first drug approval and the company did not become profit able for about 25 years.
“We were mocked by financial analysts as the definitive example of what happens when you put scientists in charge of a busi ness,” Yancopoulos said. “They claimed we didn’t know what we were doing.”
Yancopoulos said that an important element to success is understanding why you are failing and innovating around it over and over again.
“Back when we started people mocked our ability to actually make drugs and
they mocked our ability to actually make money,” Yancopoulos said. “We have this motto at Regeneron, ‘Doing well by doing good.’ We do good by trying to cure dis ease and we hope that the company will then be successful and allow us to do more good. People thought we had no idea of how to actually do that but they thought technologically we were really at the ‘bleeding edge’ back then. They just didn’t appreciate that being at the ‘bleed ing edge’ back then meant that you could literally change medicine.”
In closing remarks, Edward Halperin, chancellor and CEO of NYMC, said that
some things that are hailed as being inno vative such as automobile tail fins or kitch en appliances with different finishes are anything but innovative. He questioned some medical advances billed as innova tive, such as automation used by surgeons when operating for prostate cancer, that do not directly improve survival rates.
“We as a species seem to be innovation junkies and a lot of it is totally useless inno vation,” Halperin said. “Trusting the mar ketplace to ascertain if innovation is better is clearly a sham and a delusion. There are a lot of innovative products that are profit able but are unnecessary or even harmful.”
According to the Coloradobased National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one in four women and one in nine men experience some form of domestic abuse in the United States. For many, who could not afford a lawyer even if they knew one, the shame, fear, pain and uncertainty are compounded by a sense of helplessness.
Indeed, Cindy Kanusher, exec utive director of the Pace Women’s Justice Center — a nonprofit at Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law in White Plains — says the most common thing she hears at the center’s four-year-old Walk-in Clinic, which has about 900 con sultations a year, is “I don’t know what to do.”
Fortunately, the center — which will mark 30 years of protecting the abused with its “Raising the Bar Benefit Concert” Oct. 6 at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester to launch Domestic Violence Awareness Month — knows just what to do. It has a variety of free services to address what Kanusher says is a growing problem, wors
ened, like so many things, by Covid.
“We’ve seen about a 20% increase in the number of individ uals we’ve helped (at the Walk-in Clinic),” she says. “During Covid, it became very difficult for people in domestic violence situations to reach out for help. They couldn’t do it in a safe way” — because there were no vaccines at the time and the justice system, like virtually everything else, was in lockdown; and because the abused were con fined with their abusers.
“Historically,” Kanusher adds, “domestic violence is underreport ed and it continues to be. People are afraid or hesitant to reach out to the police….”
And while 95% of abuse suffer ers are women — more than half of those the center sees being finan cially strapped, Spanish-speaking women of color — domestic vio lence affects others as well, taking many forms. To meet these chal lenges, the center has a variety of programs, aiding more than 3,500 survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and elder abuse in Westchester and Putnam counties, while also conducting and partic ipating in more than 140 training and outreach events each year.
Type 2 diabetes has become increasingly problematic, particular ly in the elderly. What we do when we are young — eating badly, drinking to excess, remaining sedentary — affects us as we age. (In our end is our beginning.) Bad habits can lead to diabetes, which is in turn exacerbated by the con tinuing pandemic — like so many other things. People with diabe tes are more likely to have severe Covid symptoms, and those with Covid are faced with an increased risk of a diabetes diagnosis.
There are two main types of diabetes — Type 1, commonly known as juvenile diabetes, which is a disease that usually occurs during childhood, even at birth,
and is diagnosed when the pan creas provides little or no insulin. Type 2 diabetes is also referred to as Type 2 mellitus as well as adult-onset diabetes. It is the most common form of diabetes and occurs when the body does not use insulin properly or does not make enough of it. Diabetes can lead to eye, heart and kidney disease, poor circulation, amputa tion, cognitive decline, depression and death.
Currently there are 366 mil lion people with diabetes melli tus worldwide, with more than 23 million people living in the United States with it. This number is pro jected to reach 552 million by 2030. The statistics for the elderly are quite staggering: One third of the elderly population has dia betes and three quarters of the
• The Family Court Legal Program, which has offices in the Family Courts in White Plains and Yonkers. There the abused can get an order of protection and file for custody and support, Kanusher says;
• The Uncontested Divorce Program, which represents cli ents in simple divorce cases;
• The Family Law Unit, which han dles contested divorces, custody, support and order-of- protection cases for qualifying individuals in the Family and Supreme courts;
• The Sexual Assault Unit, aiding victims of assault, including in
Title IX cases;
• And the Elder Justice Unit, which has 150 to 160 clients a year.
While domestic violence ranges over a swath of personal rela tionships, elder abuse is even broader, Kanusher says, because it goes beyond familial abuse and neglect to embrace everything from scammers to difficult neigh bors to uncooperative insurers.
In one case involving a senior couple, whose house was dam aged by a fallen tree, the justice center helped settle the ongoing insurance claim, she adds.
An Irvington resident, Kanusher has been at the justice center since 1998 and its execu tive director for eight years. She
holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brandeis University, where she majored in English, and her Juris Doctor degree from Brooklyn Law School.
“I’ve always been drawn to the area of law where I could help peo ple and use the legal system to get justice for people.”
For 10 years, she was an assistant district attorney in Manhattan, prosecuting cases involving child abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence. Now instead of working on such cases in the criminal courts, she and the center are approaching them in the civil courts while also coordinating with counselors, shelters and other service organi zations to counter domestic vio lence’s ripple effects. But, she says, in the end, it’s all about the same thing: Giving people in need an access to justice.

elderly population has prediabe tes — in which glucose levels are not high enough to be classified as diabetes — or diabetes itself. A large portion of older adults with Type 2 diabetes, 45.6%, are undiagnosed. Chances are many prediabetics will eventually be diagnosed as diabetics. With a high incidence of disease and an aging popula tion, forecasts project the num ber of cases of diagnosed diabetes among people aged 65 years and older will grow more than fourfold by 2050.
Diabetes management in the elderly should focus on mitiga tion and prevention, including of hypoglycemia (low blood glucose, or sugar), and neurocognitive dys function. According to the Mayo Clinic, hypoglycemia — character ized by dizziness, heart palpita tions, confusion, shakiness and sudden extreme fatigue — occurs when blood sugar is below 70 mil
ligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), or 3.9 millimoles per liter (mmol/L). It may require eating something sweet or starchy, like a sandwich, to redress it. Medication is also used.
In any event, avoiding it would be a priority in any type of inter vention for Type 2 diabetes, as would avoiding hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar (blood glucose of more than 240 mg/dL or 13.3 mmol/L), which is characterized by frequent urination, increased thirst, blurred vision and fatigue. It can lead to eye, kidney, nerve and heart disease as well as diabetic coma.
Lifestyle modification, specifi cally in the form of physical activi ty and good nutrition are the keys to glycemic and metabolic control. When it comes to nutrition, avoid ing highly sugary foods, desserts and sweet fruits and drinks, while consuming protein as well as high
fiber (20 to 40 grams a day) should be optimal for all but especially the elderly. Regular exercise — includ ing aerobic and weight-bearing activities and/or resistance train ing — should be encouraged in all, including older adults who can safely engage in movement.
“In my end is my beginning”: There’s another way to look at this quote. Out with the old and in with a fresh start.

Adeveloper that already has a complex of res idential lofts open on Front Street in Beacon wants to add more lofts along with 30,000 square feet of commer cial space on an adjacent par cel. Beacon HIP Lofts LLC is seeking approval to build a new two-story mixed-use building that would have 28 one-bed room lofts on the second floor in addition to the commercial space on the ground floor. There would be a parking lot behind the new building with 95 spaces.
The original complex, the HIP Lofts, received approvals from Beacon in 2016 for a total of 172 residential units.
Because the project is in the Fishkill Creek Development dis trict, any developments require conceptual approval from the Beacon City Council before going to the city’s Planning Board for site plan and envi ronmental reviews. The coun cil gave its approval in July and referred the matter to the Planning Board.
The lot where the new build ing would be located current ly is vacant and encompasses 3.5 acres. It does not yet have a street address. The original loft complex has an address of 18 Front St. The site is within Beacon’s Historic District and Landmark Overlay zone. An existing Greenway Trail is on the vacant parcel.
Developer Beacon HIP Lofts LLC is based in New City.
Architect Aryeh Siegel, whose office is in Beacon, described the site as requiring that a minimum of 25% of a pro posed building be commercial. He said that the requirement is exceed by the proposal and that the commercial portion of
the project is almost 60% of the building area. The commercial space would be used for artists’ studios.
Siege said, “Similar com mercial studio uses exist on the adjacent developed Beacon Lofts property, and there is a strong demand for more space like that, which this project provides. There is limited com mercial studio space available in Beacon, and this project pro vides this much needed benefit to Beacon.”
Siegel said that the pro posed loft apartments would have mezzanines, similar to the lofts on the adjacent developed property. He said that 10% of the loft apartments would be designated in the affordable housing category.
“Because the upper floor does not cover the entire foot print of the first floor, there is a common tenant landscaped roof garden overlooking the landscape and the Fishkill Creek,” Siegel said. “All required parking is provided on-site for the commercial and residen tial uses. We will work with the Planning Board to land bank a portion of the parking in order to minimize the impervious surfaces.”
Siegel said that the devel oper’s landscape designer has proposed a preliminary design that enhances the site, works with views of the Fishkill Creek, works with proposed stormwa ter management practices and provides plantings and trees in the parking lot areas to mitigate the heat island effects of the new pavement.
Siegel described the propos al as being consistent with the city’s Comprehensive Plan and beneficial to the city and its residents and visitors.
He pointed out that the pro posed building is two stories in height while three stories are
permitted.
“The proposed building has a brick exterior and massing and window proportions similar to the former industrial Beacon Lofts parcel next door,” Siegel said. “The design also recalls the gable roofs of the adjacent apart ment complex along Fishkill Avenue, which used to house the workers and managers at the former factory.”
The project is affected by an error that the city made when it updated its zoning code
regarding parking for commer cial projects. The update inad vertently dropped a provision allowing parking for a commer cial project to use an adjacent residential parcel with a com mon property line. The city has started the process to reinstate the provision regarding park ing, which would be required for approval of the Beacon HIP Lofts LLC proposal.
The original Lofts at Beacon is a rental community located on a 12-acre property
that is home to what used to be a textile mill dating from the 1870s along the banks of Fishkill Creek. The Groveville Carpet Mill complex employed more than 700 people in the 1880s. Other businesses that were located there included Glenham Embroidery Works in 1913, Beacon Bronze Co. in 1922, Beacon Piece Dyeing Co. and Beacon Rayon Fabrics Co. in 1935, Groveville Furniture Co. in 1937 and Lewittes Furniture Co. in 1939.

The arrival of autumn is often accompanied by a peak in inter est for works that lean toward the eerie. The creators of “Hearts of the Hollow,” a 20-song musical that expands on its source material, Washington Irving’s seminal classic “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” aim to satiate cravings for the mys terious and haunting while also offering romance, comedy and fun-filled musical numbers.
“Hearts of the Hollow” is presented by the Global Wholesome Network, a nonprof it organization that produces family-friend ly entertainment, as well as the Musicians Emergency Fund and Putnam County Parks & Recreation. The musical opened Sept. 9 and is being performed every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Whipple-Feeley Chapel in Carmel, concluding with a special Halloween performance on Oct. 31.
Irving’s 1820 short story concerns a schoolteacher, Ichabod Crane, with designs on marrying the daughter of a wealthy man, Katrina Van Tassel, but who is ulti mately chased and frightened away from Sleepy Hollow by a supernatural entity, the “Headless Horseman,” who in the orig inal text is implied to have possibly been Crane’s rival and competing suitor for Van Tassel’s hand, Brom Bones, dressed as the Horseman, though the true identity of the phantom is never definitively stated.
The musical expansion differs in this respect, as highlighted by an unnamed nar rator just before the start of the play who declares, “Tonight, there will be no question or doubt as to who did what to whom and how in our new twist on an old beloved tale.”
One of the more prominent additions made to Irving’s story is the prevailing theme of following one’s heart and recog nizing one’s true and innermost desires. The adaptation places more emphasis on the denizens of Sleepy Hollow, and among
the changes and twists in this take on the old gothic tale are new characters, such as Andrew Deer, a family friend of the Van Tassels, and Shane DeBoer, is a young boy who wishes to leave the village and move into the city. But the rivalry between Crane and Bones for the hand of Van Tassel remains at the center of the story’s con flict, with the Van Tassel character imbued with more agency, seeking to marry on her terms.
“Hearts of the Hollow” is the brainchild of teacher, author and film director Patricia White, its co-producer, playwright, lyricist and co-composer and who first worked on the play 11 years ago.
“Tonight is among the most special nights of my life,” said White on the open ing night. “If I die tomorrow, know that I am happy.”
Joining White in making the produc tion a reality is her husband, Jamie White, who serves as co-producer, plus Jennifer Sandella, a graduate of the Royal Academy
of Dramatic Art who serves as director, and Mo Khoder, a mentor and close friend of White’s who works as co-composer and writer and on sound design and sound effects.
“Despite the setbacks and the pandemic and everything else, it was Patricia’s per severance that made it all possible,” said Khoder.
“I have had such a pleasure working with this team of incredible technicians and actors and producers and writers,” Sandella said. “It’s been a labor of love for so many people.”
The musical includes performances by Justin Witwick as Ichabod Crane, DaShaun Williams as Brom Bones, Adian Chapman as the Headless Horseman, Yasmin RanzLind as Katrina Van Tassel, Wayne Hu as Hermanus Van Tassel, Isaac J. Conner as Andrew Deer, Gale Alexander as Reverend George, Dawn O’Creene as the Widow Matha, Verena McBee as Sophia DeBoer and Jessica Tocci as Shane DeBoer.

Connecticut Attorney General William Tong sent a letter to M&T Bank that high lighted multiple complaints that his office received from consumers and employ ees following the Buffalo-headquartered bank’s merger with the former Bridgeportbased People’s United Bank.
“The complaints we have received since the conversion from both custom ers and employees have not inspired confidence,” he wrote. “Customers have been blocked from online accounts and phone apps, wait times in branches and on the phone have been unacceptably long, real estate closings may have been delayed and otherwise complicated, automatic payments have been disrupt ed, among other complaints.”
Tong also cited complaints generat ed by former People’s United employees who stated they have experienced prob lems with their new employer.
“The reports I have received regard ing M&T’s Connecticut-based employ ment commitments are equally trou bling,” Tong continued. “We have heard that People’s United employees have been technically ‘retained’ by M&T, but in positions for significantly less pay. We have heard that people have been siphoned from other Connecticut locations into Bridgeport to satisfy the Bridgeport employment commitment. Employees have complained that new opportunities are largely based in New York, not Connecticut.”
“We have received complaints that severed employees have been denied access to timely information regarding COBRA health benefits, severance pay ments, vacation payouts, restrictions have been put on their ability to cash out stock options and access retirement funds, among other complaints,” he added.
Tong requested information on the commitments made by M&T Bank to its Connecticut workforce, as well as identi fication of a high-level representative to expedite complaints filed with his office.
“Should Connecticut consumers con tinue to experience extended gaps in customer service, my office will not hesi tate to use the full extent of our authority to protect families and businesses,” Tong stated.
The historic Red Hook estate known as Steen Valetje has been sold for $18.5 million, a drop from the $25 million from its June listing price.
The 290-acre estate at 124 Eden Knoll was built in 1851 as a gift from William Backhouse Astor Sr. to his daughter Laura, who married Franklin Hughes Delano, a businessman and great uncle to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The Roosevelt family owned the estate through 1966 and went through several owners before being acquired in 2020 for $16.5 million by Suzy Welch, the writer and widow of former General Electric chief executive Jack Welch.
Welch renovated the 16,600-squarefoot mansion, which has 10 bedrooms, nine bathrooms and three half-bathrooms. The three-floor residence has two fully appoint ed kitchens, 16 fireplaces and an elevator.
The Wall Street Journal reported that despite the discounted sale price, the trans action nonetheless became a record price for a Dutchess County residence — the pre vious record was $18.37 million set in 2011 for a Millbrook estate.

thIn another big win for the BCW’s WIN Program, self-service insurance management company Ferro will develop a new product for medium and small businesses after successfully testing its services through the BCW’s Westchester Innovation Network (WIN).
Laura Rey Iannarelli, the agency’s owner, shared the Ferro platform with her medium- and small-business customers for feedback. “They really liked the platform and the communications, and they would love an app version of it,” said Iannarelli, who recommended to Senkbile the importance of a mobile version of the platform so that customers can access information out in the field.
“We launched WIN to facilitate the development of new products and services,” said BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon. “We are excited to see this innovation initiative bear fruit, and we are determined to attract more innovators to our county.”
Businesses interested in participating as either a host or an innovator to test products or services should email win@thebcw.org.
The new product—Ferro Lite—will target smaller businesses to meet their specific needs within the context of their insurance brokerage. The insurtech startup based in Omaha, Nebraska, provides a self-service platform that enables insurance brokers, carriers, and policyholders to manage and renew insurance policies more efficiently. “We’ve essentially trimmed down our existing offering to make it less cumbersome for smaller operations with fewer assets to manage and less need for high-level risk management,” said Ferro CEO Chris Senkbile. “The new product will be easier and more fluid for smaller users. We hope to have Ferro Lite ready for the market in the next 60 days.”
The idea for Ferro Lite came from Senkbile’s work with the Rey Insurance Agency in Sleepy Hollow.
WIN, a BCW initiative aimed at driving economic development, innovation, and growth within Westchester County, orchestrated the pairing. The goal was to provide the local host companies with an opportunity to understand innovation within their industries and to provide valuable feedback to innovators who need to pilot or beta test in a prospective customer setting.
When the BCW launched the WIN program earlier this year, our goal was to have ten innovator/matches by year’s end. We have exceeded our goal. Here is the current roster.

In the well-ordered heart of down town Fairfield, where Post Road and Unquowa Road meet and the impos ing Chase Bank and Bank of America buildings stare each other down across the busy intersection like adversarial old matrons, a newcomer from Down Under (by way of Brooklyn) has raised its head.
Equitably sharing a large slice of cor ner sidewalk with the Old Post Tavern — and with Fairfield’s Community Theater sandwiched between the two — Isla & Co., a hip but genial new café with Australian roots launched here in late June. With branches already established in West Palm Beach, Atlanta, Dallas and yes, Brooklyn, Fairfield might seem like a random new location for the burgeon ing brasserie (as it styles itself,) yet Isla — whose founder, Barry Dry, along with his two key colleagues are all Australian — already feels like a perfection addition to this easy-going, affluent Connecticut college town, one which is not short of cafés and restaurants.
The brasserie itself is compact, just 24 covers in a bright and airy interior, although the expansive outdoor terrace nearly triples that capacity. (Let’s hope for effective patio heaters as the weather cools.) A well-lit and inviting long bar runs the length of the back wall and bare brick, faux-marble table tops, hanging plants and framed photographs — sub jects as diverse as artily arranged coffee cups, a beach shack, a solitary gum tree — form the decoration. This gives Isla a cool-California meets optimistic-Aussie vibe, without being so obviously on-trend as to frighten the horses.
This eclectic style is mirrored in the food, a sort of “let’s-raid-the-world’s-lar der” type menu, not so much ‘fusion” as the combining of heterogenous but complementary ingredients. Of the many dishes we sampled over a couple of visits, from the daily brunch menu we partic ularly enjoyed burrata with sumac and pickled chilis, as well as a dish of smashed avocado toast with corn, feta tomato and almond dukkah (an Egyptian nut and spice condiment). We also rated the Brekkie roll — soft scrambled eggs with white cheddar and bacon — a recherche du temps perdu taste of Australia in a bri oche bun. There is also a hamburger and Isla Benedicts, as they’re called, which come three ways. That is to say, with lox, with avocado and peperonata, or with pulled pork, all served on toasted sour dough rather than a more traditional — at least in this country — English muffin.
On the dinner menu, served daily from 5:00 p.m., there were plaudits for steamed clams with n’duja and sausage rolls with a plucky chili sauce. Fish and chips with yuzu kosho (fermented chili) tartar sauce and spicy Thai green curry are both ripper.
Back to its Aussie theme, Vegemite comes as a side dish — you’ll pay $3 for the privilege — but there’s not a laming ton (famous Australian chocolate-coated sponge cake) in sight. An Aussie vanil la slice, comprising puff pastry with blackberries, or a sticky date pudding with whipped mascarpone must suffice instead. And they more than do.
In the drinks department, the short wine list offers a few reliable bins at $50 or under, but I would have enjoyed see ing one or two Aussie Chardonnays or a mention of that country’s beloved “Cab Sav”, to really get into the groove. There is perhaps a better choice for the cock tail drinker, with both “signature” and “classics” offered, some, like the Mimosa, served in a champagne coupe.
While I found the service to be utterly sweet and well-intentioned, dishes were often slow to arrive, and the non-stop, near mechanical “how is everything?” check-back began, after a while, to get my goat (as Australians might say).
That said, it’s early days yet for this stylish newb and with so many elements crucially sound, once feet have been found and the young staff acquires more confidence, I’d think Isla & Co. is going to be terrific. Or, put another way, fair dinkum.

Con Edison customers in Westchester and elsewhere can expect to pay more this winter for natural gas and electricity due to increased costs the utility will need to pay its suppliers.
According to Con Edison, the average res idential natural gas heating customer using an average of 165 therms per month will pay $460 a month from November 2022 to March 2023, 32% more than the average bill of $348 one year ago — and supply costs account for $90 of that increase while delivery charges will account for $22.
A Westchester County customer using 600 kilowatt hours a month will have an average bill of $203, a 27% increase from last winter. A small commercial customer using 583 kilowatt hours per month will see a $44 hike in their bills, or 23%, from last win ter’s $194 to $238, while a larger commercial customer using 10,800 kilowatt hours per month with a peak demand of 31 kilowatts can expect a $706 hike, or 28%, from $2,524 to $3,230.
In a news release, Con Edison said it is “urging customers to take actions now that can help them manage costs this winter as market prices for electricity and natural gas are expected to be substantially higher.” The utility added that energy prices have been rising across the U.S. and “are changing quick ly with significant shifts on a daily basis,” noting that natural gas supplies are expected to remain tight this winter.

In recent months the impor tance of computer chips and semiconductors has been clear. Every class of consumer good relies upon them in some way — they are responsible for providing cars, refrigerators, and almost every other electronic device with intelligence and inter net connectivity. Semiconductors have been in short supply as demand across industries spikes and logistics chains run into shortfalls rooted in the Covid pan demic and exacerbated by global political tensions.
A groundbreaking cere mony for new facilities at the ASML plant in Wilton on Sept. 12 marked both an expansion for the company but also a step toward meeting the demand for semiconductors. The plant produces the photolithography equipment used to etch patterns into silicon wafers to produce microchips by manufacturers all over the world.
“ASML has been investing heavily into meeting semiconduc
tor demands,” said Louis Lu, the head of the company’s Wilton site, which will undergo a $200 mil lion expansion.
Joost Ploegmakers, ASML’s vice president of engineering, explained the importance of the site.
“We’re within ASML the only site that delivers modules and parts to each and every ASML system that is produced,” he said. “So, our critical optomechani cal modules go into every single machine that ASML ships, but it also means that with a growth of the semiconductor industry that we can produce all these criti cal products. That’s why we are expanding.”
The expansion will also require 1,000 new employees, bringing the entire site up to 2,500 people in various roles. Much of the expansion will focus on providing new amenities, meeting areas, and a plaza-style cafeteria. In addition, an experi ence center will provide interac tive exhibits about STEM topics for visiting students from local schools. The center will also high light the historical significance
of the building, which is where optical lithography was originally developed by PerkinElmer in the 1960s.
According to Lu, the new jobs will represent a “full spectrum” of worker types, with some roles requiring doctoral degrees and others not requiring a college education. open to high school graduates.
The groundbreaking event drew the appearance of sev eral elected officials. Lynne Vanderslice, first selectwoman of the Wilton board of select men, recognized the level of engagement in the local com munity that ASML employees typically have, as well as the eco nomic benefits that the expan sion will bring.
“We also recognize as a com munity that we have to find hous ing for your 1,000 new employ ees,” Vanderslice said. “We are looking to expand housing in Wilton both in terms of price point and the type of housing. You may have heard that we recently approved a couple of apartment projects that are fairly unique in Wilton.”
Vanderslice highlighted that despite Wilton historically having almost exclusively single-family housing the town has recently given the go-ahead to 18-, 35- and 174-unit projects not far from the site of the ASML facility.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal also praised the town for embrac ing the expansion but indicat ed that the development was of national importance.
“I’m just a country lawyer from Connecticut,” Blumenthal joked, “I don’t know about chips and semiconductors, but I’ve heard of this thing called ‘Moore’s Law.’ These things get more pow erful every two years, which shows me the pace, the demand, the challenge that our nation faces and ASML is helping us meet that challenge.”
“And we want to bring that industry back from other plac es, specifically back from China. To be very blunt, we want to eat China’s lunch when it comes to semiconductors,” Blumenthal added, noting that the Chips and Science Act, which recently passed Congress will provide $52 billion in support for the expan
sion of the domestic semiconduc tor industry.
U.S. Rep. Jim Himes hailed the expansion as an indicator of Connecticut’s continued appeal for high tech manufac turing.
“There are places in this coun try where you can do business more cheaply. You can pay lower wage rates elsewhere,” he said. “You can pay less for electrici ty elsewhere, but ASML under stands that you can’t find better, more loyal, more innovative employees.”
Gov. Ned Lamont praised both the expansion and its poten tial impact on Wilton and neigh boring Norwalk, as well as the efforts taken by his fellow gov ernmental officials in supporting ASML’s work.
“I think that is what our role is,” Lamont said. “State govern ment can come in as your part ner and make sure you have the infrastructure needs met so that ASML can keep doubling down on Moore’s law, be the brains behind Moore’s law, and doing that right here in the great state of Connecticut.”

Photo by Justin McGown.The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System has again raised interest rates by three-quar ters of a point and the action has again produced speculation about whether the latest move to control inflation will have the unintended consequence of touching off a recession.
The Fed’s latest action raising rates came on Sept. 21, which was less than a week after the World Bank issued a report indicating the world may be edging toward a global recession in 2023. The World Bank’s study, “Is a Global Recession Imminent?” said that interest-rate increases and other policy actions may not be sufficient to bring global inflation back down to levels seen before the Covid-19 pandemic. The World Bank said that interest rates set by central banks can expect to reach almost 4% in 2023. It forecasts that global inflation as calculat ed without energy costs could be brought down to an average of 5%, which although lower than the 8.3% with energy included
that was reported for August in the U.S. and 13% reported in Europe still would be nearly double the five-year average before the pandemic.
“Global growth is slowing sharply, with further slowing likely as more countries fall into recession. My deep concern is that these trends will persist, with long-lasting conse quences that are devastating for people in emerging market and developing econo mies,” World Bank Group President David Malpass said. “To achieve low inflation rates, currency stability and faster growth, policymakers could shift their focus from reducing consumption to boosting produc tion. Policies should seek to generate addi tional investment and improve productivity and capital allocation, which are critical for growth and poverty reduction.”
The World Bank observed that global consumer confidence has already suffered a much sharper decline than in the run-up to previous global recessions. The economies of the U.S., China and the European Union have been slowing sharply and the World Bank suggests that in the past expansion of economic activity was encouraged rather
than discouraged as has been taking place to fight inflation.
“Recent tightening of monetary and fiscal policies will likely prove helpful in reducing inflation,” said Ayhan Kose, the World Bank’s acting vice president for equitable growth, finance and institutions. “But because they are highly synchronous across countries, they could be mutually compounding in tightening financial con ditions and steepening the global growth slowdown. Policymakers in emerging mar ket and developing economies need to stand ready to manage the potential spill overs from globally synchronous tightening of policies.”
The World Bank study says, “If the degree of global monetary policy tight ening currently anticipated by markets is not enough to lower inflation to targets, experience from past global recessions sug gests that the requisite additional tightening could give rise to significant financial stress and trigger a global recession in 2023.”
The study was not completely bleak, however, with the World Bank saying, “Our analysis indicates that the global economy
David Malpass
could escape a recession even if additional monetary policy tightening beyond current market expectations is needed to reduce inflation. However, this would require the additional tightening to be implemented in such a way as to generate an order ly adjustment in financial markets. More importantly, policymakers need to utilize the full menu of options available to get ahead of inflation and reduce the likelihood of a sharper decline in growth.”
The World Bank also said that central banks need to be transparent in what they do.
“Transparency in the conduct of policy reduces the risk of abrupt market disloca tions and financial stress, and increases the chances that public expectations will align with announced policy goals,” the study said.
The World Bank notes that over the past 50 years, global recessions have occurred when the world economy has experienced exceptionally large shocks on the supply side, such as in 1973 and 1974 when the world’s oil supplies were sharply cut. There have been various recent shocks to the glob al supply chain, including Russia’s cutting exports of its oil and natural gas to retaliate against western support for Ukraine.
“Since the global economy has already suffered a severe supply shock earlier this year, the key additional risk to the out look would appear to be the possibility of larger-than-anticipated policy adjustments accompanied by acute financial stress,” the study said. “Central banks may have to do more to reduce inflation to their target lev els than financial markets currently antici pate, just as in many advanced economies the extent of monetary policy tightening exceeded expectations before the 1982 recession. Moreover, this type of sharp poli cy adjustment could trigger financial market stress as it did during the 1982 episode.”
The World Bank study suggested that supply shocks could be dealt with by policies that help increase labor-force participation and reduce price pressures. The study said that labor-market policies can facilitate the reallocation of displaced workers.
The study also suggested that global coor dination can go a long way in increasing food and energy supplies. For energy com modities, policymakers should accelerate the transition to low—carbon energy sources and introduce measures to reduce energy con sumption.
The study also called for strengthen ing global trade networks with policymak ers cooperating to alleviate global supply bottlenecks. They should support a rulesbased international economic order, one that guards against the threat of protectionism and fragmentation that could further disrupt trade networks.

The Inflation Reduction Act that signed into law on Aug. 16 includes tax provisions affect ing businesses, individuals, the clean-en ergy industry, health care and more. Here are some key provisions:
Sec. 461(l) business loss limita tion. The pass-through tax deduction for small-business owners (sole proprietor ships, some limited liability companies, partnerships, and S-corporations) was enacted under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The tax break limited individ uals from taking more than $250,000 ($500,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly) of business losses to offset non business income. In effect for tax years 2021 through 2026, it has been extended through 2028.
Research credit against payroll taxes. For tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2022, the limitation amount increases by $250,000 to $500,000 for the Sec. 41(h) research credit against payroll tax for small businesses. The first $250,000 of the credit limitation will be applied against the FICA payroll tax liability. The second $250,000 of the limitation will be applied against the employer portion of Medicare payroll tax liability.
Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) for large corporations. The corporate AMT repealed under tax reform in 2017 has been reinstated but is based on book income — the amount of income that cor porations publicly report on their finan cial statements to shareholders — instead of taxable income.
Generally, this new corporate AMT of 15% applies only to large corporations with an average adjusted financial state ment income exceeding $1 billion for the three consecutive tax years preceding the tax year.
Nondeductible 1% excise tax on corporate stock repurchases. A new 1% excise tax applies to corporate stock repurchases after Dec. 31, 2022. The tax is paid on the stock’s fair market value (FMV); however, the excise tax does not apply if the total value of stock repur chased during a tax year is $1 million or less.
Furthermore, it also does not apply if repurchased stock is contributed to an employer-sponsored retirement plan,
employee stock ownership plan, or for stock repurchases that are part of a reor ganization in which the shareholder rec ognizes no gain or loss.
Affordable Care Act premium tax credits. The premium tax credit is extended through 2025 for taxpayers whose household income exceeds 400% of the poverty line.
IRS funding. Approximately $80 bil lion is allocated to fund IRS activities such as taxpayer services, enforcement against tax evasion by high earners and corporations, operations and modern ization of IRS business systems. The IRS has stated that it does not intend to use this increased funding to “increase audit scrutiny on small businesses or mid dle-income Americans.”
Clean vehicle tax credits. The clean vehicle tax credit was extended through 2032, in addition to a new credit for pre viously owned clean vehicles. However, for new clean vehicles purchased after Aug. 16, 2022, the tax credit is general ly available only if the qualifying vehi cle’s final assembly occurred in North America (the “final assembly require ment”).
To determine whether the vehicle meets the final assembly requirement, taxpayers should enter the vehicle’s 17-character vehicle identification num ber (VIN) into the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s VIN Decoder tool. They can view the “Plant Information” field identifying where the vehicle was built.
Buyers who entered into a written, binding contract to purchase a qualify ing clean vehicle before Aug. 16, 2022 but did not take possession of the vehicle until on or after that date should abide by pre-existing rules in effect before Aug. 16, 2022.
Clean energy credits for individ uals. Renamed the energy-efficient home improvement credit, the nonbusi ness energy property credit is extended through 2032. It is now equal to 30% of the sum of the amount paid or incurred by the taxpayer for energy-efficient improvements installed during the tax year, the amount of residential energy property expenditures paid or incurred by the taxpayer during the tax year, and the amount paid by the taxpayer for
from renewable sources such as geo thermal, solar and wind facilities (extended through 2024 and mod ified), the Sec. 40A biodiesel and renewable fuel credit, and several alternative fuel credits (extended through 2024).

home energy audits.
In prior years, the credit was equal to 10% of the amount paid or incurred for qualified energy-efficiency improve ments plus the amount of residential energy property expenditures paid or incurred by the taxpayer during the tax year.
Also renamed (the residential clean energy credit) and extended (through 2034) is the Sec. 25D residential energy-ef ficient property credit. Furthermore, the new energy-efficient home credit under Sec. 45L has increased dwelling units acquired after Dec. 31, 2022, and the credit extended through 2032.
Clean energy credits for manufac turing. Several new credits have been created: Sec. 45Y to encourage clean electricity production at qualified facili ties placed in service after Dec. 31, 2024, with zero greenhouse gas emissions; Sec 45X for US production of photovoltaic cells and solar and wind components.
In addition, starting Jan. 1, 2023, the Section 48C Manufacturers’ Tax Credit is expanded to provide $10 billion in tax credits. The tax credit is 30 percent of the amount invested in new or upgraded factories to build specified renewable energy components.
Energy credits for businesses. Several energy credits for business have been created, extended or modified in the Inflation Reduction Act, including a new sustainable aviation fuel credit, the Sec 48 energy credit (extended through 2024 and modified to increase the ener gy credit for qualified solar and wind facilities placed in service in connec tion with low-income communities), the Sec. 45 credit for electricity produced

As many as 500,000 young New Yorkers are reported to be growing up without the sup port of a mentor, and due to the pandemic, most students have experienced a two-tofour-month gap in reading and math.
The Biden-Harris Administration’s Na tional Partnership for Student Success spe cifically highlights the need for more mentors and tutors to support young people.

“As we partner with hundreds of mento ring organizations across the state, we know the demand for mentors is high. Young peo ple are waiting for adults to raise their hands and volunteer…,” said Brenda Jimenez, CEO of Mentor New York.
For more than 25 years, Mentor New York has been the go-to resource for build ing sustainable and mutually beneficial mentoring programs with a vision to create mentoring cultures and foster mentoring re lationships wherever young people live, learn, work and play.

Ten years ago, electric vehicles (EVs) were a relatively new offering across America. Back then, there were two primary EV manufacturers; now al most every automobile maker offers an electric model. In 2012, Connecticut’s first EV charging station was installed by CT Electric Car, Newington, in Blue Back Square; currently there are 360 charging systems to service the 25,444 EVs driving throughout the state.
The business, which is a subsidiary of Newington Electric Co., has been at the peak of the EV industry for the past decade and is positioned to propel for ward as exciting developments hit the broad EV highway both statewide and nationally. CT Electric Car will host a 10 th anniversary event to celebrate the growth and success of the state’s green energy industry, as well as unveil its new company brand to better reflect the future direction of the EV sector.
The commemoration, open to the public, will be held at 72 Pane Road, its Newington headquarters on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“When we formed our company division dedicated to the installation of car-charging stations for Connecticut’s growing fleet of EVs 10 years ago, we en visioned an immediate increase in busi ness activity,” said Ed Ingalls, founder of
CT Electric Car. “Unfortunately, uncon trollable market forces such as cost, lack of infrastructure and ‘range anxiety’ ini tially caused a brake-pedal effect. To day, however, with generous auto and EV charging system rebates, coupled with greater governmental support and public knowledge, the landscape is much improved.”
Ingalls notes that CT Electric Car’s 10 th anniversary event will be both educational and entertaining, providing attendees with a retrospective on the EV industry, important information on the rebate process and a future forecast of new developments on the horizon plus up dates from government leaders, state agency commissioners and Connecti cut’s two power companies – Ever source and United Illuminating.
“As with anything, good things come to those who wait and while we have certainly ridden the highs and
lows of the EV industry these past 10 years, we are honored to help drive its success in Connecticut,” said Ingalls.
Since its inception in 2012, CT Electric Car has installed more than 1,000 EV chargers for both home and business owners. It is also qualified to install and wire Tesla motor cars’ charging system and its electricians are licensed contractors by the state of Connecticut’s Department of Consum er Protection.
CT Electric Car’s 12,000-squarefoot showroom at 72 Pane Road in Newington is also the headquarters of Newington Electric Company, CT Home Generator Systems and CT Roof & Gutter Ice Melt Systems.

On August 3, 2022, Governor Hochul announced $1.2 billion in funding to the NYS Health Care Worker Bonus (HWB) program. This program makes bonus payments available to certain frontline health care workers who helped New York communities get through the most trying times of the pandemic. Governor Hochul emphasized, “Health care work ers are the foundation of our medical system and we need to acknowledge the sacrifices they have made to bring us
through these challenging times. Our bonus program is about more than just thanks, this is an investment in health care and with it we will retain, rebuild and grow our health care workforce and ensure we deliver the highest-quality care for New Yorkers.” The Health Law Practice of Bleakley Platt & Schmidt, LLP is dedicated to helping its clients navigate the complex requirements of this law to obtain these well-earned bo nuses for their eligible employees.
Health care providers who are “quali fied employers” are required to apply to the program, determine employee eli gibility and distribute bonuses to their eligible employees, or face severe penal ties for the failure to do so. In order to be eligible for the bonus, the employee must work for a qualified employer, be in the category of eligible job titles listed in SOS §367-w(2)(a)(i)-(iii), receive an an nual base salary of $125,000 or less, be employed during an entire “vesting pe
riod,” not be suspended/excluded from participation in the Medicaid program and work for the qualified employer for the required number of hours during an applicable vesting period. Each of the five vesting periods span six consecu tive months, the first of which began on Oct. 1, 2021. Eligible employees may re ceive a maximum of two bonuses (two vesting periods) per employer. Depend ing upon the number of hours worked during each vesting period, the bonus for each eligible employee ranges from $500 to $1,500 per vesting period. The maximum bonus an employee may re ceive is $3,000.
The Office of the Medicaid Inspector General (OMIG) is tasked with audit ing the bonus payments to determine whether the funds were rightfully claimed and distributed. OMIG is also authorized to impose sanctions up to and including exclusion from the Med icaid program. Furthermore, at the end of each vesting period, all qualified em ployers should review which employees are eligible during the vesting period according to the statute and guidance provided.
The Department of Health (DOH) has continuously updated its guidance doc uments to assist in determining the pa rameters of eligibility for both employ ers and employees. However, employers have found conflicting information pro vided in both the statute and guidance documents. Given the ambiguity in program requirements, employers may wish to consult with legal counsel to aid in determining eligibility and navigat ing this process.
Bleakley Platt & Schmidt, LLP urges eligible employers to fully utilize the HWB program to reward the Health Care Heroes who live and work in our communities.

During a time when there is a large fo cus on public health emergencies such as Covid-19 and Monkeypox, it is impor tant to remember that other disasters and emergencies still occur. Everyone needs to be prepared so that they can aid at a moment’s notice until first re sponders arrive. We have seen too many tragic incidents such as mass shootings and other events where people have been injured or killed.
The New York Medical College (NYMC) Center for Disaster Medicine (CDM) be lieves in educating and raising the aware ness level of all community members. The CDM, founded in 2005, conducts interdisciplinary research, training, technical assistance and educational ac tivities related to emergency prepared ness for disasters, terrorism and public health emergencies.

THE BLEED training throughout the
lence of fatalities from severe bleeding due to accidents, STOP THE BLEED is a national campaign sponsored by the White House and administered by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The STOP THE BLEED course, which is offered in English and Spanish, takes approximately one hour and involves a lecture plus hands-on practical skills training. The CDM currently offers this training to organizations who wish to learn these lifesaving skills. The CDM has already conducted this essential training for local community organizations, fire departments, emergency medical servic es (EMS), boy scouts, police departments and other community-based groups in the region.

Southern Connecticut State University un veiled its new College of Health and Human Services building with a ribbon-cutting cer emony and celebration Friday, Sept. 16.
Andrea Adimando, associate professor of nursing and MSN program director, said, “We’ve waited a long time for this building and we’re so excited to be here to celebrate its opening. We can’t wait to use the labs and study space to meet with our students, be with our students and really embrace this build ing.”
The four-story, 94,750-square-foot new building features collaborative spaces, stateof-the-art teaching and training spaces, lec ture halls, a demonstration kitchen and mod ern human performance laboratories. The new building was designed to meet the needs of Connecticut’s health and human services workforce.
President Joe Bertolino, who welcomed the crowd of students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the New Haven community, said, “As you know, there are critical shortages in many areas of Connecticut’s health care indus try and this new building will allow us to both increase enrollment and further diversify the state’s health care professional workforce.”
Audiology, communication disorders and human performance labs and clinics, cur rently used to train students and assist at-need populations in Connecticut, have also expand ed in size and capabilities in the new building.
“Reflecting our social justice mission as a public university, it will also serve as a won derful resource for the off-campus communi ty through our expanded speech therapy and hearing clinics, human performance lab and our center for adaptive sport and inclusive rec reation,” said President Bertolino.
Other speakers included Sandra Bulmer, dean, College of Health and Human Services; Susan Bysiewicz, Lt. Governor, State of Con necticut; Dan Ybanez, sophomore nursing student; Melody Lehrman, Communication Disorders Clinic advocate; Michelle Gilman, Commissioner, State Department of Admin istrative Services; Terrence Cheng, president, CSCU System; and Will Ginsberg, president and CEO, Community Foundation of Greater New Haven.
This ribbon-cutting event followed a recent announcement of a new initiative between the state of Connecticut in collaboration with Connecticut State Colleges and Universities (CSCU) and multiple state agencies to address shortages in nursing and behavioral health providers on the heels of the Covid-19 pan demic.
Governor Ned Lamont’s $35 million ini
tiative, CT Health Horizons, would provide tuition assistance and recruitment and reten tion of faculty, and would offer innovative pro grams to promote partnerships between em ployers and institutions of higher education in building career pathways.
“By making this investment, we are taking a critical step toward expanding the number of nursing seats at our public and private in stitutions of higher education,” said Lamont at a press conference held at Southern Con necticut State University in August. “We also know that the need for mental health services has only increased during the pandemic. This collaborative approach will help promote a highly educated behavioral health workforce.”
CSCU President Terrence Cheng agreed that this new program will help meet state work force needs while also creating long-term ca reer paths for 70,000 students in the system.
“Our nursing faculty are top notch, and our facilities are outstanding,” said Cheng. “Our nursing and health care alums are found around the state, in the big hospitals and pri vate practices. They’re putting their skills to work every day.”
President Joe Bertolino, who welcomed Lamont, Cheng and other distinguished guests to the press conference, said, “The demand for well-trained health and human services pro fessionals has never been greater, and so we thank you, Governor, for providing your state
educational institutions with the resources to address this area of critical need.
“Southern – and indeed all the institutions in the CSCU system – are fully committed to this vital task.”
