Norwalk-headquartered Xerox Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: XRX) announced an agreement to repurchase all of the company’s shares of common stock beneficially owned by investor Carl Icahn and certain of his affiliates at a purchase price of $15.84 per share – a transaction that will be worth approximately $542 million.
The company said it expected to fund the deal with a new debt facility. Concurrent with the closing of the repurchase, Jesse Lynn and Steven Miller, who are employed by Icahn’s operations, and James Nelson, an independent director, will resign from the company’s board of directors.
Scott Letier, who has served on the board since 2018, has been appointed chairman of the board effective upon the closing of the repurchase transaction.
Icahn, who played a key role in scuttling Xerox’s planned merger with Fujifilm Holdings and in the company’s aborted hostile takeover of HP, declared in a statement, “As a longtime shareholder of Xerox, I’ve watched this iconic brand endure the hardest of times and come out stronger, all while returning substantial amounts of capital back to share-
TheLarchmont-based Thai restaurant Durian has opened a second location at 227 Main St. in New Rochelle.
“While the Larchmont location will remain open, we invite you all to come check our Durian New Rochelle location,” said the restaurant’s management on their website. “Our staff is warm and inviting, and our chef has over 20 years experience cooking in high-end Thai restaurants all across the globe. Looking forward to seeing you all soon.”
Durian originally opened as Bangkok Thai Restaurant in Mamaroneck in 1989 before moving to 147 Chatsworth Ave. in Larchmont last October. The restaurant was reviewed by The New York Times in February, with critic Alice Gabriel claiming its “the pan-Thai menu is almost dizzying in its breadth.”
holders. I helped Xerox maintain its independence while pursuing consolidation within the print industry.
I will continue to be a champion of the company and hope my activism will long be remembered as Xerox continues its positive momentum.”
“Our decision to repurchase shares is reflective of the confidence we have in our business, our strategy and our ability to improve Xerox profitability and cash performance,” said Steve Bandrowczak, CEO of Xerox. “For nearly a decade, Carl and his affiliates have served as important shareholders to Xerox, providing invaluable counsel, guidance and activism to support our evolution as a workplace technology leader. On behalf of Xerox and the board of directors, I would like to thank Carl and our departing directors for their dedication to Xerox and for contributing to our past, present and future success.”
Volpintesta Crossing, a 26-unit mixed-use property at 155 Greenwood Ave. in Bethel, was sold for $5 million. The property is comprised of five in-line mixed-use buildings with 26 total units, including nine commercial units on the first floors and 17 residential units on the upper floors. The property encompasses 21,763 square feet of living area in 23,411 square feet of total gross area and is based on a 0.6-acre parcel. Four of the five buildings were constructed in 2022 and the fifth building was originally constructed in 1880 and was extensively renovated in 2022. Stavros Filippidis and Tom Connor of Hovarth & Trembley represented the seller, 155 Greenwood LLC, and procured the buyer, an unnamed Bethel investor.

An online auction is underway for island property located in Long Island Sound just a few minutes by boat from New Rochelle. Two islands, Columbia Island and Pea Island, make up the approximately five-acres of property in the auction. While Columbia Island now sports a fully renovated four-bedroom, two-bathroom home with ultra-modern conveniences, that wasn't always the case.
From 1941 until 1963 Columbia Island was home to the radio transmitter and 410-feet-tall broadcast tower for New York's AM radio station WCBS. Before CBS bought it, the island had been owned by the Huguenot Yacht Club and was known as Little Pea Island, a companion to Pea Island. CBS, being the Columbia Broadcasting System, renamed Little Pea Island as Columbia Island.
CBS equipped the island facility with a 50,000-watt transmitter as well as a 5,000-watt backup transmitter along with work and residence quarters for up to 10 technicians. There was an emergency power generator should there be a failure of the underwater electric cable connecting the island to the mainland. They drilled down almost 1,000 feet in order to find an adequate fresh water supply. Technicians would take a boat to and from the island, except when the weather
By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.commade the trip too risky. Transmitter technicians often had to remain on the island overnight.
The salt water surrounding the island acted as a very efficient conductor for the radio station's signal, allowing WCBS to be heard across a wide swath of the U.S., Canada and far out to sea. In 1963, WCBS moved its transmitter and tower to nearby High Island.
After WCBS left, radio and TV personalities Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy purchased the island and often broadcast their morning radio program on station WOR from there. After a couple of years they donated the real estate to The College of New Rochelle, which subsequently transferred it to private hands.
The combination of Columbia Island and Pea Island recently had been listed for sale for $4.99 million and now is being offered in a digital
Apexium Financial LP, of Rye, and Forepont Capital LLC, of White Plains, were also fined $150,000 each and ordered to cease and desist from violating SEC rules, in orders filed on Sept. 28.
Apexium, a registered broker that primarily serves high-net-worth individuals and manages $2.2 billion in assets, failed to manage a conflict of interest from 2018 through 2020,
according to the SEC.
An affiliate in Rowayton, Connecticut that the firm used to manage client assets was co-owned by three Apexium owners.
Apexium disclosed the potential conflict in its client brochure, stating, for instance, that some of its owners “will profit due to their ownership” in the affiliate.
The firm said it would overcome the conflict by evaluating alternative managers, allowing clients to use a manager of their choice and documenting why its affiliate is best for the clients.
auction by Concierge Auctions in cooperation with Patricia Anderson of Julia B Fee Sotheby's International Realty. The online auction is scheduled to remain open until Oct. 18.
The building on Columbia Island features solar electricity along with a diesel generator for backup. It employs a state-of-the-art water filtration system. Concierge Auctions said the boat ride between the island and New Rochelle takes only about five minutes.
But the firm did not follow through with its pledges, according to the SEC. It also did not adopt and implement policies and procedures to ensure that it operated in accordance with its brochure, and it failed to conduct annual policies and procedures reviews.
The SEC concluded that the firm had violated regulations that make it unlawful to engage in transactions or practices that operate “as a fraud or deceit upon any client or prospective client.”
Apexium has since revised its policies and procedures to address the SEC’s concerns.
The order does not identify the affiliate firm or the co-owners. According to Apexium’s 2023 registration, it is owned and managed by David J. Pilaitis, Cory M. Chmelka, Matthew A. Marcello, Apexium Holdings LLC and Brunswick Trust U/A DTD. Forepont Capital is a broker-dealer
that invests in biotech, medtech and e-health start-ups. It manages $82 million in assets for two clients.
The SEC says the firm failed to disclose to the clients of a private fund that it had retroactively transferred securities to the fund that were held by three Forepont executives and its venture partner.
Assets transferred to the fund also included securities of a company whose CEO and co-founder is the brother of Forepont’s CEO, and securities of a company whose chairman is Forepont’s venture partner.
The firm also failed to distribute audited finance statements for 2020 and 2021 to investors in two private funds.
The order does not identify the individuals whose conduct violated disclosure rules. According to Forepont’s 2023 registration, the owners and executives include Eric M. Attias, Bruce I. Greenberg, Ismail Kola, Tizot Julien, Philippe Louisadat and Frederic R. Batoua.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has censured two Westchester firms for failures to disclose essential information to investors.
The combination of Columbia Island and Pea Island recently had been listed for sale for $4.99 million.
The firm said it would overcome the conflict by evaluating alternative managers.
“The Trumbull Mall is the fabric of this community, and we all need to support it,” said Tesoro, noting it was both the town’s largest single employer and taxpayer. The mall’s position on the border with Bridgeport and along Trumbull’s Main Street also means it will play a key role in shaping the future of nearby businesses in the town’s economic core.
Rina Bakalar, the director of economic and community development for Trumbull, took the opportunity to address rumors circulating on social media.
“The mall is not closing,” Bakalar stressed. “While the mall has challenges, without question, it is still considered in the top tier of mall health. So, there is an opportunity
sections of the mall are owned by other companies. For instance, Target owns the building which contains their store, although it sits on what is now Namdar land. The terms of that agreement, as well as the other anchor stores such as JCPenney and Macy’s, gives them more control over the physical space than other tenants, but also impose limitations on what businesses Namdar can lease to. According to Sauser, terms of Target’s agreement, originally signed with a prior owner, give it veto power over the installation of a bowling alley within the mall.
Despite the complexities, Sauser explained that Stantech is developing plans for two distinct futures the Trumbull Mall could build towards.
The first path is the “21st Century Retail and Entertainment Destination” concept, emphasizing new stores and attractions.
and challenges that need to be addressed, but it is not closing. The other thing I want to address is it is not going to be bulldozed over to put up apartments.”
Bakalar said that while some market rate apartments were permitted to use a corner of the property, the only housing currently being considered is a potential senior housing facility.
Jeff Sauser, a senior associate and urban planner at Stantech, the urban design consultancy hired to advise on future uses for the site, explained preliminary findings on the mall’s potential future.
“We want to provide a path forward for property owners and tenants,” Sauser said, “to give people a vision to work towards, and get sense of what could get people excited to move to the mall and invest in it if they’re not already.”
Sauser emphasized that there was every reason to believe that the mall had real potential for future growth, regardless of the ultimate plans.
“When we talked to our mall market and retail market expert, he thinks about malls nationally falling into three tranches,” Sauser explained. “There’s the dying mall that we all hear about, and those are the ones that are just a shell of mall or already closed and need to be scraped and replaced with something different. And then there’s a level up from that, the struggling mall, and those may be able to support the building but it’s a real struggle and it doesn’t look much like a mall, unless you are able to fill it back up. People are starting to sell those off, they don’t have much of a future.”
“But then there are the top third of malls that can survive as a mall,” he added. “They’re doing well and have a future. Trumbull Mall fits squarely within that top tier. Walk around there every time I come here there’s always a lot of people walking around, lots of great stores. And as our expert said, it has the opportunity for much more.”
While Stantech is continuing to conduct research and surveys, including speaking to potential tenants and having the site examined by experts to assess improvements ranging from accessibility for the disabled to the environmental impact, Sauser managed expectations by pointing out the complexities of ownership in malls.
Presently the entire mall property is owned by New York based Namdar Realty Group, which purchased the site in 2022 from the French company Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield, which absorbed the property when it merged with the major mall operator Westfield in 2017.
However, individual structures and
“There is where we are really leaning into the finding that this is a very well-located retail market,” Sauser said. “There are already great retail assets here, so let’s get more and really help them reinforce each other. Maybe there's a grocery, entertainment, and then support that with the right public spaces, the right gathering spaces, the right food and drink, to make this a local and regional retail destination.”
Alternatively, by incorporating features such as a hotel, senior housing, and more service-oriented spaces such as medical offices or facilities a “mixed-use commercial village” could be established, with a deeper emphasis on spaces for people to meet and congregate throughout the property.
After the presentation, many audience members in attendance weighed in with suggestions, ranging from public gardening spaces and community meeting rooms to new approaches to the building’s design and tenancy. Many also fondly recalled when the mall seemed more enmeshed with the community, including Bakalar who noted she was in a softball league where several teams consisted of employees from different mall stores.

The future of the Trumbull Mall was the subject of discussion in a recent community meeting chaired by First Selectman Vicki Tesoro.
Have you noticed the rise of the “curator?” This noun used to mean a museum employee who put together exhibits and sought items from outside collectors. Now, there’s all kinds of stuff being “curated.” What happened to “selected?” Never being comfortable using jargon, and the acronym du jour, the power of social media to spawn idioms overtakes what ad copy used to. Plain speak is much more actionable in marketing copy (the words vs. the pictures). The digital brain has its lingo, but the persuadable brain needs to be sold. When a word or phrase becomes everyday speech, that’s proof of successful marketing.
Take the buzz on Elon Musk. “X” (formerly Twitter) has a $44 billion worth to him. Its advertising revenue is not making news, but a potential subscription fee is. That’s how cable tv made its money at first, by selling subscriptions, and why cable advertising was and is relatively cheap. Cable is like direct mail; it still works, but fewer people get it these days.
As we’ve stated, TikTok is the most effective social media, followed by Instagram, then Facebook, then LinkedIn. As for Twitter, its noise is fueled by opinion, not passive scrolling. LinkedIn is great for B2B targeting, but the content needs to deviate from the norms, unless congrats are in order. Think about that — a medium devoted to career boosting. Selling via advertising on LinkedIn is tougher stuff.
Political advertising figures largely in media revenue goals between now and election day ’24. Did you know the media insists on up-front payment for this? And, they can also strongarm your costs if their inventory for electoral campaigns is peaking
and you want in. Figure next Labor Day (9/2) through Election Day (11/5) there will be an endless barrage of political ads.
Americans spend 10 hours a day with media; TV being half. If you watch morning news and prime time, that could be four hours a day on TV. That leaves six hours for reading press and social media. Streaming TV this past July commanded almost 39% of TV viewing. If we do the math, 31,500 different channels and streaming sources exist, adding up to more than a million titles available to streamers, per Nielsen.
TV sports is a good way to reach males ages 18 to 65, but if you want women, think TikTok. What TikTok does is get the word out via influencers — women who tout drug store cosmetics vs. those found in department store “doors,” the term for said category of retailers locations.
On the male influencer front, sports and music personalities and the odd entertainment star poke around. We’d give George Clooney’s Casamigos Tequila, and Omega watches, Ben Affleck and Dunkin’ top billing.
Here in Westchester and Fairfield, few local influencers abound. Sure, we have our LinkedIn posters who champion their colleagues. There are a few on Instagram that promote places to eat and visit. Local communities have parent groups on Facebook, but we’re sort of a place where you grow up or
are from. If you operate a successful business, maybe you network at events — maybe.
Ready to get the word about you out there? Think about what you'll need:
• Content creation — video production, photography, copywriting.
• Software to follow the aggregation of platform activity and the analytics. Remember, the data shows a lot, but hides a lot.
• A budget for paid ads. They work but are tricky to buy without quantitative analysis skills.
• Influencer compensation from discovery through payment based on terms.
• Employee training and development—lots of folks can make videos, but do they have the right persuasiveness or angle? That’s advertising agency staff stuff.
The American Association of Advertising Agencies states emphatically that most clients spend only 5% to 10% of their time on agency matters. Those matters are extremely concentrated, like is this stuff selling? Sales is not a fun arena. Working with national marketing and sales teams, we learned the price of “moving boxes” versus the price of moving minds.
New metrics are being developed. Take “brand love,” a journey from recognition through purchase that new agencies promulgate. The idea is there, but a competing brand can put a retail promotion deal in place and there goes all the brand love. It happens in the carbonated soft drink aisle all the time! In an inflationary landscape, brand love needs deeper wallets.
We’ve discussed Influencers a lot, but what about ROI (return on investment)? Celebrity endorsers are influencers, and they do bring forward a lot of consumer attention and persuasion.
The cost factor is adjudicated along with media exposure and it is a proven tactic.
Celebrity with a smaller “c” is in vogue now. So-called “micro-influencers” with as few as 10,000 followers are gaining traction.
Lastly, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) are musts, but when surveyed the top brands and their stewards have not been at this long enough to gauge efficacy or transformation. There are some brands, notably in entertainment and sports that have paved the way here.
We end on a somber note. Will the Hollywood Writers and SAG-AFTRA strikes prove artificial intelligence (AI) can be kept at bay? Let’s hope so. For all the buzz it receives, it is anathema to DEI.
“Where’s the beef?” It's a line that generated market share at the expense of the category leader. Three words, incredibly popular.

On July 1, Dr. E. Anders Kolb took the reins as president and CEO of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), succeeding Dr. Louis J. DeGennaro, who led the Rye Brook-based organization since 2014.
LLS is a $500-million organization focused on curing leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma while improving the quality of life for blood cancer patients and their families. Nonprofit management was a new responsibility for Kolb, who
previously served as chief of the Division of Hematology and Oncology of Nemours Children’s Health, Delaware Valley, as director of the Moseley Foundation Institute for Cancer and Blood Disorders, and as vice chairman for research in the Department of Pediatrics at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia.
In an interview with the Business Journal, Kolb discussed his new role and his plans for LLS.
What attracted you to taking the leadership position at LLS?
I've been a volunteer for LLS for 17 years. My wife was diagnosed with a follicular lymphoma back in 2007, and with that I started to get involved with the local chapter board. I served as a volunteer and participated in many of the campaigns. I'm also a pediatric oncologist, so I've seen firsthand the benefit of LLS research, personally and professionally.
About five years ago, when LLS started thinking about making a greater investment in pediatrics, I had the privilege of chairing what was initially the Children's Initiative and is now called the Dare to Dream Program – I was co-chairing that with Quinn Nichols, who's the chief medical officer. I have worked very closely with Quinn and with the entire team focused on the Dare to Dream Program, and I have seen what tremendous talent and dedication and resources the organization had.
When LLS reached out to me to see if I'd be interested in the position, I jumped at the opportunity. And as a pediatrician, I was very excited that they were interested in having a pediatrician run the organization – I think it says a lot about how they value research and progress in pediatric cancer.
In addition to your work at LLS, you're still continuing to see patients at the Nemours Children's Health. Why are you doing double-duty?
For me, patients have always been the grounding force – they provide perspective and inspiration around the problems that we face. Staying connected to patients and families is what motivates me, it's what drives me to do better. And it's what keeps me focused. I can't imagine working without doing that.
You became CEO at LLS in May. What have your first few months at the helm been like?
It's been quite a transition going from academic medicine to running a large organization – it requires a tremendous amount of learning. But that has been exciting, and I've got to meet a lot of new people that are phenomenally talented and very dedicated to improving the lives of patients with blood cancer. For me, that's just been a thrill.
One of the main goals of nonprofits is fundraising. But we're in a bit of an interesting time economically when many people are feeling a financial pinch. What are your strategies to encourage fundraising in this difficult economy?
We talk a lot about the financial headwinds coming out of the pandemic. And now we’re entering – or maybe we're in – a recession. Organizations have to adapt, and they need to be responsive to these external forces.
There are patients who are absolutely dependent on what we do every day. So, we need to grow our organization despite these financial headwinds, and we need to continue to push the mission. I’ve been asked what my strategy is and I said that our strategy is to diversify revenue, to develop technologies that allow good people to be great and great people to
be amazing, and to continue to keep the focus on what our primary mission is – that is, to improve the lives of patients with blood cancers.
What is the state of blood cancer research? How close are we coming to a breakthrough?
We see breakthroughs every day. The pace of new drug approvals has increased over the last few years, and it's just an amazing time to be in the field to watch all progress.
About a month ago, the New York Times published an article saying that we are at an a golden age of medicine. We're in an era of drug design where we can modify cells and proteins and have them do what we want to kill cancer cells.
It is a very fast-moving very exciting time to be part of the health-care research community. I think the challenge that we face now is that we are creating therapies that are very expensive and very difficult to give. We've got to be very careful as we are seeing these tremendous advances that we're not accentuating health disparities by not making these therapies attainable by all patients with blood cancers. That's one of the biggest challenges that we're going to face in the coming years.
If we were to pick up this conversation a year from now, where do you see yourself and LLS?
Great question. I would like to see that LLS is able to diversify its revenue and that we're able to increase revenue by engaging new philanthropists engaging new strategies to identify donors. I'd like to see that we're able to grow our mission to be able to support more innovative research and grow our equity and access research program, which is focused on identifying and developing systems to resolve health disparities.
And I'd like to see that our organization, our associates, our staff are happy and love working here.
“I've been a volunteer for LLS for 17 years.”

A refuse hauler claims that the town of Yorktown created a fictitious emergency to justify rejecting its bid for a municipal garbage hauling contract.
AAA Carting and Rubbish Removal, of Buchanan, accused Yorktown of violating state law that requires competitive bidding for large municipal contracts and acceptance of the lowest responsible bid, unless immediate action is necessary.
But Yorktown knew for months that its refuse hauler was unable to handle the work, and then revoked the deal and issued a no-bid contract.
“There was no need to try to create some bogus emergency,” according to the petition filed Sept. 18 in Westchester Supreme Court. “Something stinks in the town of Yorktown other than the garbage.”
Yorktown Supervisor Thomas P. Diana said “AAA’s lawsuit is frivolous,” in an email submitted by White Plains attorney Adam Rodriguez. “Suffice it to say, the town intends to vigorously defend itself, and we are confident that we will be successful.”
AAA Carting had handled the town’s garbage and recycling for five years, according to court documents. Last December a new five-year contract was awarded to Competitive Carting Corp., of Mahopac.
CCC was new and had no experience in municipal garbage collection, according to AAA. It did not have enough trucks to do the work and its sole shareholder had filed for personal bankruptcy protection.
Weeks after the contract was awarded, owner, Brian Amico sold 60% of CCC’s business to William Boyar Sr., without notifying the Westchester County Solid Waste Commission.
The commission fined CCC for not disclosing the ownership change, using unregistered trucks, and bouncing a $22,000 check to pay for some of the fines.
In July, Yorktown issued a default notice for alleged failures to perform essential functions and issued $155,500 in fines.
On Aug. 28, several trucks were repossessed and on Sept. 1 CCC was unable to provide adequate staffing due to failure to pay employees, the petition states.
Yorktown solicited proposals for a one-year, no-bid contract. AAA proposed a $4,224,000 deal, according to the petition. CRP Sanitation, of Cortlandt Manor, proposed $4,296.000.
CRP got the contract, despite costing $75,000 more than AAA’s proposal, the petition states, and $546,000 more than AAA had bid last year for
refuse collection in 2023. Yorktown’s need to immediately hire a new refuse hauler was a self-created emergency, AAA claims, because the town knew for months that CCC couldn’t do the work.
According to supervisor Diana, Yorktown “acted properly and followed all applicable rules and proce-
dures when it entered into the emergency refuse and recycling contract with CRP Sanitation Inc.”
What’s more, he said AAA failed to act in good faith during negotiations for the emergency contract, “constantly shifting its positions and ultimately tried to utilize the emergency situation to obtain $2.4 million in taxpayer dollars for work it never did.”
AAA had sued Yorktown in February, seeking annulment of CCC’s contract. That case is pending.
Now AAA is asking the court to combine it’s new petition with the first case and to award the contract to AAA under the terms of its original bid.
AAA is represented by Manhattan attorney Nicholas R. Caputo.

World Mental Health Day –
Tuesday, Oct. 10 – is a reminder to all that mental health has become an acute global challenge. In this country alone, more than one in five adults live with a mental illness. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta have also said that more than one in five youths (ages 13 to 18) have had a debilitating mental illness, while one in 25 Americans has a mental illness such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or depression.
It's safe to say that on occasion, many of us have struggled with how to channel and express our emotions in constructive ways. During the pandemic, a Dobbs Ferry resident designed a movement method to do just that.
Jen Aks is a movement expert and dance educator who for 17 years has worked with the National Dance Institute (NDI) – founded in 1976 by then New York City Ballet principal dancer Jacques d’Amboise – to integrate dance into the core curriculum of New York City public schools. (The institute reaches 6,500 New York City students a year and, through 13 affiliates, 100,000 students nationwide.)
In the last five years, Aks has been training teachers to use dance in support of academic work. For NDI in
2019, she produced and directed “Voices of Change,” a multimedia presentation designed to show children that there are many paths to self-expression.
It’s the philosophy that she incorporates as an embodiment coach in her meditative movement method, The Power of Gesture.
She knows just what you are thinking: “When people hear the word ‘dance,’ they get intimidated.” They might be self-conscious about moving their body in a way that’s not associated with physical work or sports; think they have no talent; or believe the arts are inconsequential.
“When the pandemic hit (in 2020), I decided to create a method everyone can use,” she said.
The Power of Gesture is hands-on, so to speak. The participant sits in a chair and – through Aks’ guided meditation, which involves visualization – concentrates on a troubling emotion. The participant then embodies that emotion through hand gestures.
With music playing, the subject moves through the series of hand gestures, releasing negative energy.
As a result, Aks said, “People feel they have a sense of control, instead of being controlled.”
With this new lightness of being, the participant creates another series of
gestures that encapsulates self-empowerment.
You can do this in the privacy of your own home on a Zoom call with Aks. But she has also led women’s and children’s retreats and conducted other Power of Gesture workshops in group settings.
“What’s really fascinating and important is to have a group come together, and everyone learns others’ gestures,” she added. “It’s like a piece of choreography. It allows people to ‘hear’ gestural narrative.”
The idea that there are different ways of learning and healing has only been fully embraced by education recently. When Aks was growing up in the cultured township of Montclair, New Jersey, she was ashamed of her inability to process information in the traditional way, through the written page. She could communicate verbally – she’s a fluid conversationalist – and comprehend what she read. But she could not retain it.
“It was very hard for me,” she recalled. “The teachers didn’t notice, and I didn’t raise my hand. I thought something was wrong with me.”
Still, she persisted, studying various movement styles at performing arts schools in Montclair and earning an associate degree from Dean College in Franklin, Massachusetts, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts through the Department of Music and Performing Arts Professions (MPAP) at New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Human Develop-
ment in Manhattan. But it wasn’t until she was in therapy in her early 20s that Aks met Connecticut professor Katie Woodhouse, who showed her that she was a visual, kinesthetic learner – one who needs pictures, graphs and physical activity to accrue knowledge. (It’s not surprising, then, that she would also gravitate to family and event photography as a way to connect with and portray the human experience.)
“That’s how I learn. That’s what I do. That’s who I am,” she said.
Armed with this insight, Aks realized that she wasn’t unworthy – and she wasn’t alone. People, even those with a great deal of language and/or mathematical skills, use visual and physical cues all the time to process information – setting a difficult text that must be memorized to the melody of a popular song; vacuuming or wood-chopping away anxieties and frustrations.

Westchester County’s business community, like the vast majority of its suburban counterparts in regions across the country, has been faced with dramatic changes over the past several years. Some changes have uniquely impacted the commercial real estate industry.
Pandemic-era economic forces such as supply chain bottlenecks, labor shortages, spiking inflation and interest rate hikes designed to reduce inflation, and decreased lending from some small and mid-sized banks have made it more difficult to complete projects on time and under budget. The health of the local economy depends on the strength of Westchester's commercial real estate sector. We are inspired by the tremendous resilience it has shown in the face of many daunting hardships as it continues to shape and define the region.
Among the most drastic industry challenges driven by the pandemic were paralyzing supply chain issues and skyrocketing material costs, which many developers and construction contractors were relieved to see subside somewhat after significant initial disruption.
For the most part, builders are continuing to experience a labor shortage as companies struggle to find quality workers and deal with substantially increasing wages. This can be acutely problematic for contractors, resulting in higher labor costs and projects not being completed under deadline. A failure to fulfill a contractual obligation can not only cost a company money, but negatively impact its reputation as well. White hot inflation – rising above 9% last June – and the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase interest rates to the highest levels in 22 years, have sent borrowing costs soaring for developers. Making these troublesome trends worse was a recent period of instability in the banking sector, freezing access to lending and credit for many builders at some small and mid-sized banks.
We appreciate the unique challenges that members of the commercial real estate industry are experiencing because Orange Bank & Trust has considered itself a reliable partner of the local business community for more than 131 years.
We believe we have a proven track record of forging deep relationships with a diverse range of industry play-
ers and helping them drive smart growth in our communities, from small-business owners, electricians and painters, to home-builders and developers of highrise hotels and office buildings.
We maintain more than $2.4 billion in assets and more than 70% of our loans support the commercial real estate sector. With an overall loan portfolio of just over $1.7 billion, roughly $1.1 billion of this amount is secured by commercial mortgages on investment real estate and another $200 million of commitments support small-businesses and investors affiliated with a variety of construction trades and real estate development. We understand that the commercial real estate sector is essential to the economic wellbeing of the region, and we’re deeply invested in its success.
No one can be entirely sure what the future holds, but having worked alongside our borrowers and gained wall-to-wall understanding of their businesses – the types of community-focused real estate developments being considered across the county, projects they’re bidding on, and their full lifecycle cash needs – provides us with some critical insights.
In the current economic climate, it’s important to “control the controllable,” because there are many levers of uncertainty that fall outside of our command. For businesses, it all revolves around operating leverage and mastering cost structure:
• Be meticulous in the bidding process for new projects;
• Anticipate and avoid certain projects that will not support the bottom line;
• Don’t underestimate borrowing, operating and labor costs;
• Uphold capital and liquidity as much possible; and
• Understand the full lifecycle of a project and lock in profitability, or get as close to it as possible.
Looking ahead, it’s plausible that borrowing, material and labor costs will continue to be elevated for some time forcing many in the industry to keep operating on thin margins. As a key contributor to the Westchester small-business economy, we look at each loan opportunity on an individualized basis and believe if you’re willing to dedicate the time to evalu-
ate a business carefully and forecast it accurately, you can prudently grow the portfolio over time. That’s wise investing, and as a bellwether for the local business community, we are excited about more opportunities to continue supporting impactful real estate projects, and other efforts that move this vital sector forward.
We maintain more than $2.4 billion in assets and more than 70% of our loans support the commercial real estate sector.

The health risks of social isolation are similar to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to an advisory released earlier this year by U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek H. Murthy. A serious yet understated health risk, social isolation, or the lack of social connections, can lead to mental and physical health complications.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), social isolation is defined as the lack or absence of relationships with others. The symptoms generally associated with social isolation include avoiding social interactions, particularly those that were once enjoyable; canceling plans frequently and feeling relief when plans are canceled; feeling anxiety or panic when thinking about social interactions; or feeling intense loneliness all or most of the time.
It is important to note that social isolation is not the same as loneliness – loneliness is associated with feeling alone or disconnected and often reflects someone’s desired level of connection. Therefore, someone who does not feel lonely can still be at risk of social isolation.
There are numerous ways that social isolation can impact an individual’s overall health. The CDC has linked social isolation to increased risk for heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, depression and anxiety, suicidality and self-harm, dementia, and more. These conditions can greatly impact your well-being, resulting in anything from headaches to trouble sleeping to reduced cognitive abilities.
According to The Cigna Group, social isolation can even affect people at work, resulting in lower productivity and decreased performance. Those who are isolated, or otherwise lack support systems, are also less likely to lead a healthy lifestyle and rarely seek out health-care professionals. Social isolation has even been linked to an increased risk of premature death.
While anyone can experience loneliness or social isolation, those who live alone, cannot easily leave their home, struggle with mental health challenges, or have limited social support are at a greater risk. For instance, someone who is in a wheelchair may find it difficult to access transportation and travel to an event.
It can also be easy to become socially isolated if you have recently had a major loss or life change, such as the death of a loved one, a career change or retirement, or moving to a new city or town. Additionally, those who have language barriers where they live or experience discrimination related to age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation are more likely to face social isolation.
It is critical to bring attention to the
dangers of social isolation now because roughly one-third of adults in the U.S. report feeling lonely during the holiday season. Most often, these feelings are a result of unrealistic expectations; social media makes it easy to jump to the conclusion that others are having a better time than you.
There are, however, many triggers associated with the holiday season. For those who do not have a support system or those who have lost a loved one, the holidays are a particularly difficult time. Anything from a seasonal song to the smell of baked goods to the sight of an empty chair can leave people longing for connection.
Fortunately, there are many ways to combat social isolation all year long. A simple way to stay connected to those around you is to find time each day to get in touch with family and friends, whether that be in person, by email, or over the phone. If you have not heard from a friend or loved one, be the first to reach out.
To meet new people in your community, you may consider volunteering, which is particularly effective at
reducing feelings of isolation, attending local events, or enrolling in a class at a library or community center. There are many resources available online to explore these offerings or you could search for a local Facebook group that regularly shares events. Research groups related to one of your interests or hobbies; this could be a local organization that meets in person or something completely online.
If you cannot leave your home, you can explore online offerings, including educational lectures, guided fitness classes, and more. Most importantly, focus on nurturing the relationships that you have; a few deep connections are better than many shallow friendships.
If you are socially isolated, experiencing extreme loneliness, or are otherwise suffering, it may be worth considering professional support, such as a therapist or counselor. The Coalition to End Social Isolation & Loneliness (endsocialisolation.org) has a complete list of resources that can help you move beyond social isolation.

The proposed 2024 budget for Rockland County includes a 2% property tax cut with a total property tax levy of $128,154,000, down from the $20,880,100 in last year's adopted budget and the 2022 adopted budget and the adopted budget from 2021.
“This 2% reduction is a huge leap from the double-digit tax increases from years past,” County Executive Ed Day said. He emphasized that the county was running a $138 million deficit when he came to office a decade ago.
"Our economic turnaround is nothing short of miraculous," Day said. "I thank our dedicated employees for staying true to our commitment to conservative spending, which is enabling us to absorb costs while still providing reprieve for our residents in a responsible and balanced manner.”
The proposed 2024 budget that Day sent to the county's legislature calls for $870.7 million in spending.
"We are generally not borrowing by issuing bonds for capital projects; we will be using our own money thus avoiding sky-high interest costs," Day said. "We avoid accumulating debt that gets kicked down the road. Instead, we are investing in our county and ourselves."
The budget provides $5 million to be spent in acquiring land for preservation as open space. Federal funds from the American Rescue Plan are slated to be used for a new 911 system, including the hiring of six new radio
dispatchers. The budget proposes spending $1.5 million for college tuition reimbursements for volunteer fire fighters and emergency medical services personnel.
"We are proposing a new bridge maintenance crew within our Highway Department comprised of three positions," Day said. "This team will perform essential maintenance on county-owned bridges, including but not limited to, bridge washing, joint repair, bridge rail maintenance and upkeep and bridge deck repairs. This
A report on tourism in Orange County prepared by Tourism Economics, an Oxford Economics company, said that visitor spending in the county reached $1.1 billion last year, up 22% from 2021. The report said that tourism produced 6% more spending last year than before the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus said the report affirms that tourism is a major driver of economic development in Orange and throughout New York state. Statewide, tourists spent $79 billion in 2022.
"Orange County’s attractions draw visitors from nearby and around the world," Neuhaus said. "That significantly drives our county’s economic
growth and has helped us lower county taxes to rates not seen since the 1960s. Tourism creates jobs and is a key part of our growing economy.”
The study, “Economic Impact of Visitors In New York 2022: Hudson Valley Focus,” showed that the money spent in 2022 by visitors to New York state was up $27 billion from 2021 spending. Orange County’s $1.1 billion in traveler spending exceeded what was spent in 2019 before the pandemic by $64 million.
In the Hudson Valley, total tourism spending in 2022 was $4.64 billion, up 20.4% from 2021. Tourism produced
regular and routine bridge maintenance will increase the lifespan of that infrastructure, and in return save taxpayer money long-term."
Day said the proposed new budget includes an additional $1 million for the Department of Social Services and $600,000 more for the Office for the Aging.
"Social service programs are continuing to face ever-increasing demand as new state mandates drive up costs," Day said. "We were recently informed that next year’s pension costs are projected to increase 15%."
Day pointed out that New York state also is phasing out the federal reimbursement to municipalities for Medicaid costs, known as enhanced Federal Medical Assistance or eFMAP.
"Once fully phased out, this will result in an estimated $9 million loss for Rockland County property taxpayers annually, equivalent of a 6.8% County Property Tax increase," Day said. "Over a four-year period, this will shift an estimated $3 billion in costs to local taxpayers statewide."
Day said that he looks forward to working with the County Legislature during the process of adopting the new budget.
$331 million in local taxes and $249 million in state taxes.
In Westchester County, traveler spending totaled $1.99 billion in 2022. In Rockland, it was $513 million, with Putnam generating $78 million in traveler spending. Dutchess County had $706 million in traveler spending. Westchester was the only county where spending did not exceed where it was before the Covid pandemic, with the county showing 2019 spending of $2.01 billion.
The report said that tourism in Orange County generated $153.8 million in local and state taxes in 2022, resulting in a tax savings of $1,158 per household. The report also said that 11,161 jobs were created in Orange County by tourism.
According to Amanda Dana,
director of Orange County Tourism & Film. “We offer so many regional and widely renowned attractions and festivals, a lively craft beverage scene, new discoveries in every community, dining options for all tastes and charming lodging options. This report shows how much those activities bring in spending, jobs and taxes and how the allure of our county to travelers from around the world benefits us all.”
The report said that in 2022 there were 291 million visitors to New York state, both from overseas and within the U.S., a 23% increase over 2021. The total statewide economic impact from tourism, both direct and indirect, was $123 billion.

Developer Charles Blaichman, who was named the Ulster County Chamber of Commerce Business Person of 2022, is seeking approval from the City of Kingston to convert the former Hudson Valley Senior Residence at 80 Washington Ave. into an apartment building. The existing two-story building dates from 1929 and is on 1.63-acres of land. Blaichman, through 80 Washington Dev LLC is seeking a zoning waiver for the adaptive reuse project that would create 37 apartments in the building through renovations and the addition of a second floor to a portion of the structure.
The city's form-based zoning code allows only 12 apartments in the zone where the property is located. Architect Scott Dutton of Dutton Architecture told Kingston's Planning Board that 10% of the proposed new apart-
ments would be priced as affordable housing and 5% would be classified as workforce housing. He said that the Hudson Valley Senior Residence had 48 people living there supported by up to a dozen administrative, nursing, kitchen and maintenance personnel.
Dutton said that it appears as if the existing building would qualify for listing on both the New York State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places. He said that the developer is planning to preserve those parts of the building's architecture as required by the register while picking up historical architectural features in the deign of the planned addition.
Dutton said that there would be a mix of studios and one-bedroom units.
"There are no changes proposed to the existing site that would increase the footprint," Dutton said. "The overall layout doesn't change."
Dutton said that an analysis showed that 38.9% of the site is green space.
"Given the size of the lot and overall configuration the applicant could, although we have no desire to do this, remove the existing building and locate three 12-unit buildings on the site," Dutton said.
Dutton said that when the project was complete the site would look better than it does today as a result of having been cleaned up. He said that
A new NPR/PBS News Hour/Marist Poll indicates that the 2024 presidential election is extremely close, with President Biden scoring 48% to Donald Trump's 47% among registered voters nationwide. Participants in the poll responded to the question of for whom they would vote if the election were held today.
The Marist Poll originates from the Institute for Public Opinion, a survey research center at Marist College in Poughkeepsie. The institute was
founded in 1978 and was the first college-based research center to include undergraduates in conducting survey research. More than 400 students at Marist work on polling each semester.
The polls generally are conducted for three to five days using telephone surveys and other methods for data collection.
The students manually dial the phone numbers of people selected to be prat of the representative sample and con-
duct live interviews.
The poll released Oct. 4 has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7%, so the difference between Biden and Trump is within the margin of error, underscoring just how tight the contest has become. Trump faces federal criminal trials as well as state criminal charges in Georgia and the New York state civil trial in which he, family members and The Trump Organization have been found guilty of business fraud.
The poll found that among independent voters, Trump leads Biden by 8%, racking up 50% of the vote
existing outdoor light fixtures would be replaced with energy efficient LEDs. Heat pumps would be installed for heating and air conditioning. Dutton said that two exiting resident rooms would be combined into one apartment with each apartment having its own kitchen and bathroom. He said that the existing dining rom would be eliminated and a number of tenant amenities would be created in the basement. These would include a gymnasium, storage units that could be rented by the tenants, a lounge with a small kitchen and a laundry facility. "The historic lobby and circulation corridors would be preserved," Dutton said.
compared with Biden's 42%. Among those surveyed, 43% had a favorable view of Biden while 51% viewed him unfavorably. Trump had a 38% favorable rating with 56% giving him an unfavorable rating.
The poll found that 75% of registered voters believe Trump did something illegal or unethical and that 32% would want him as president again even if he were convicted of criminality.
When asked whether they approve of the job President Biden has been doing, 42% said they approve while 50% said they disapprove.
According to Lee Miringoff, director of Marist's Institute for Public Opinion, "Despite a whirlwind of activity around them, Americans' views of Biden and Trump remain locked in. At this point, a notable number of voters are considering a third-party option, but that does little to change the competitive contest between Biden and Trump."
"The historic lobby and circulation corridors would be preserved."

The nonprofit Greyston Foundation, which provides employment for individuals who want to work regardless of their background through its bakery and also has other programs to help people find steady employment has opened new corporate offices at 20 S. Broadway in Yonkers.
At a Sept, 27 ribbon-cutting, Greyston's CEO and President Joseph Kenner, said, “For 41 years Greyston has been unlocking human potential through inclusive employment. It began with a bakery and a Buddhist and Open Hiring, the no questions asked, no resume, no background check form of hiring that began at the bakery. We see the bakery as the incubator of Open Hiring, and through the foundation we are leveraging that knowledge, sharing our insights and practices with businesses globally.”
Among those attending the ribbon-cutting were Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Westchester County Office of Economic Development Executive Director Bridget Gibbons, Yonkers Council Majority Leader Tasha Diaz and County Legislator Symra Brandon.
Spano said, "Open Hiring has shown the world that if given a second chance people can really soar and reach their full potential. You’re showing the way so that other companies who see your success and can build on that and maybe show us an even better way.’’
In addition to office space, the new facility has two classrooms that will be used for workforce education programs. There also is a wardrobe space where job seekers can be outfitted with business attire to help
improve their appearance when they go out on job interviews and ultimately begin work assignments.
Greyston reported that in just the last three years along with its partners it has created more than 5,552 job opportunities and trained more than 450 people through its workforce development programs.
Gibbons said that Greyston currently was working with the county on a job fair for the formerly incar-

Titan Real Estate Development LLC is seeking site plan approval from the Yonkers Planning Board to construct an apartment building on a 3.88-acre parcel composed of eight lots located at 36, 50 and 56 St. Joseph Ave., 1, 6, 7 and 10 Cavalli Circle and 55 Vineyard Ave. in the city's Ashburton Avenue corridor.
The project is proposed to be built on land that had been part of the former Mulford Gardens public housing project and was to be developed as
part of the 11.97acre Mulford Gardens Hope VI Revitalization Project. The site in question is the remainder of the Hope VI property that the Municipal Housing Authority of the City of Yonkers (MHACY) transferred to the city in 2019. Titan has a letter of intent with the city to purchase the 3.88-acres of land in
order to construct a Planned Urban Redevelopment (PUR) mixed-use project.
Titan is proposing to construct a building with 340 apartments, 420 parking spaces, and 20,000 square feet of commercial space. There would be 198 studios and 142 one-bedroom apartments.
On Sept. 3, the Yonkers City Council approved a special permit for Titan to construct a PUR on the site. Previously, the City Council approved discontinuing Cavalli Circle as a paper street, approved modification of the Ashburton Avenue Urban Renewal Plan and Ashburton Avenue Master Plan to permit construction of the project. According to Attorney Janet
cerated.
"Not only does the Greyston Employment Opportunity Center create pathways to success through workforce development and training programs, it is also scaling the adoption of inclusive hiring throughout businesses in America," Gibbons said. "We are proud that Greyston calls Westchester County home and look forward to supporting Greyston in any way the county possibly can."
Giris of the White Plains-based law firm DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr LLP, the new building would be six stories in height comprised of four residential stories over two stories of parking along with commercial space. The commercial space would be on the ground floor at the intersection of Loehr Place and St. Joseph Avenue. Giris points out that the site rises in elevation from the south to the north.
"A landscaped plaza for residents is proposed on the first floor rooftop over the parking level," Giris said, noting that the project "includes a green roof which will capture and direct stormwater into an underground detention system."
The plan calls for the lower level of the parking structure to be accessed from Loehr Place and to have approximately 180 spaces with 100 of those spaces reserved for residents and 80 to serve the commercial space.
The second level of the parking structure will contain approximately 240 parking spaces to serve residents of the building and will be accessed from St. Joseph Avenue. In addition, Titan proposes constructing 18 additional on-street public parking spaces on Loehr Place, which will be dedicated to the City.
The unprecedented renaissance underway in the City of Yonkers is now premiering a spectacular new sequel! Yonkers is Hollywood on Hudson, home to the new 1 million square foot Lionsgate Studios complex, the largest modern film and TV production facility on the East Coast. Located along the beautiful Hudson River, this state‑of‑the‑art media center will help complete the transformation of the Yonkers waterfront with local businesses benefitting from the expected 1000+ people working at the studio complex. And with the rapid growth in streaming media, other major film and TV studios are now eyeing Yonkers which offers one of the most easily accessible locations in the New York Metro area.

Alexis Pelosi, who is senior advisor for climate at the Office of the Secretary, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), visited Yonkers for a tour of several Yonkers Housing Authority (YHA) sites and development projects. With Pelosi from HUD was Justin Scheid of HUD’s Office of Field Policy and Management. Mayor Mike Spano and Wilson Kimball who is the CEO of YHA were among the local officials escorting the HUD representatives.
Among the projects visited was the La Mora Senior Housing complex, which now is under construction. La Mora is one of the few modular housing sites in the country using the Passive House model, which conserves energy and is
self-sufficient and hardened against weather emergencies.
They also visited Loehr Court and Palisade Towers to look at major renovations undertaken at those sites. They also made a stop at the Ridgeway development, which is located at the former Cottage Place Gardens public housing site.
“The Yonkers Housing Authority was proud to welcome HUD to Yonkers to see the many ways our mayor and the Housing Authority are preserving affordability while striving to meet the future needs for new, resilient, climate friendly affordable housing,” Kimball said.
Alexis Pelosi is married to Laurence Pelosi, a nephew of House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi. She was a founder with her husband of the Pelosi Ziblatt Law Group in San Francisco.
OnSept. 27, the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs opted to forward the Secure and Fair Enforcement Regulation Banking Act – or SAFER Banking Act – before the full Senate.
The SAFER Banking ACT passed the committee with a 14-9 vote. The legislation was sponsored by Jeff Merkley, an Oregon Democrat, and Steve Daines, a Montana Republican.
The bill, which Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has indicated will receive a vote soon.
“For too long, the federal government has continued to punish marijuana users and business owners – even when doing so is actively harmful to our country," said the New York Democrat.
"This ‘war on drugs’ has turned into a war on people and communities –specifically people and communities of color – and a war on business. This agreement allows cannabis businesses that have traditionally operated in cash to finally have the opportunity to accept credit and debit cards, allowing them to grow their businesses, pay their employees, protect their customers and ensure public safety."
Different versions of this legislation have been introduced in every Congress since 2013 and the House of Representatives passed it seven times, but to date it was never introduced for consideration by the full Senate until now.
The SAFER Banking Act seeks to
juana from Schedule I to Schedule III under the Controlled Substances Act. This would result in cannabis products moving from one of the most tightly controlled drugs in the country, legally only available in very limited quantities for research, to being on par with prescription only medications like Tylenol with codeine.
“My take is that this is a step in the right direction, don’t get me wrong this is a big deal, but Schedule III is an even bigger deal because of the impacts of 280e going away for the cannabis business,” Zachs added.
280e is the section of the Internal Revenue Code, which bans businesses from deducting expenses associated with Schedule I drugs from their taxes.
exempt proceeds from the sales of marijuana in states where they are legal from regulations that prevent federally insured banks from accepting those funds.
Many transactions for recreational cannabis companies are handled in cash, since current federal law permits regulators to impose penalties and conduct investigations into financial institutions that work with legal cannabis companies. As a result, the cannabis industry is forced to handle large volumes of cash given the prices of the products they typically sell.
Being barred from using credit cards is a major inconvenience and handling large volumes of cash can complicate many aspects of a business, especially payroll and financial planning, but there are also safety concerns for both the businesses and workers.
“Employees become targets for violent robberies that under the most devastating circumstances can turn deadly,” said Ohio’s Sen. Sherrod Brown, the committee’s chairman, during the markup. “Cannabis workers also face challenges proving their income when trying to rent a home or apply for a mortgage.”
Daines noted that despite his co-sponsorship for the bill he opposed the legalization or decriminalization of marijuana, but asserted that the SAFER Banking Act should not be seen as an effort to rewrite federal laws on cannabis usage.
“This bill is about public safety first and foremost,” he stated. “The current all-cash model of legal cannabis businesses makes
them targets for theft, for tax evasion, and for organized crime. The key to addressing this risk is by ensuring that all legal businesses have access to the banking system,” Daines said.
Daines added that the bill would also implement reforms regarding financial disclosures and protect companies from being pushed out of the banking system for “political differences.” Daines and other Republicans said they were motivated by preventing a repeat of Operation Choke Point, a Department of Justice initiative under the Obama administration, which issued informal and unwritten suggestions to banks to reconsider doing businesses with industries suspected of widespread fraudulent or predatory practices.
Daines emphasized that firearms manufacturers and oil and gas companies would benefit from legislation that prevents the government from pressuring banks to avoid doing business with companies for political reasons.
Benjamin Zachs, the chief operating officer of Fine Fettle Dispensary, one of Connecticut’s first companies to legally sell recreational cannabis, called the news a welcome step forward.
“I think it’s really great that they can do this,” Zachs said, “but I think there’s still questions on regular insurance and whether you can take credit cards. Will this actually mean we can have more access to banking is the biggest element of that and from the federal side that’s still honestly quite unclear.”
Zachs added that many professionals within Connecticut’s cannabis industry were also excited by the late August announcement that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was recommending that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency reclassify mari-
“Those tax issues are the things that really impact the industry as a whole,” Zachs said. “Our tax rate is just astronomical compared to any other business in the United States.”
Still, the SAFER Banking Act has its opponents on Capitol Hill. Four Republican senators – Pete Ricketts of Nebraska, John Cornyn of Texas, Ted Budd of North Carolina and James Lankford of Oklahoma – voted to fight against Senate passage of the bill.
“The growth of the marijuana industry has already caused THC potency to skyrocket from 2-5% in the 1970s to 99% in many concentrates sold today,” the senators wrote in an open letter. “The significant mental health damage to youth caused by these products will only worsen with the passage of the SAFER Banking Act, as the industry will use new investments to increase potency further and bring in new users, including children. Marijuana use is associated with psychosis, motor vehicle accidents, respiratory problems, and low birth weight.”
“This legislation also compromises the integrity of the United States banking system by giving banks government approval to participate in illegal activity, setting a dangerous new precedent,” the senators continued. “Allowing banking access to a Schedule I drug sets a dangerous legal precedent and will help facilitate money laundering for drug cartels.”
And there is also dissent within the Democrats. Georgia’s Sen. Raphael Warnock was the lone Democrat to vote against the SAFER Banking Act because he said it did nothing to address the fate of "millions of Americans locked up for nonviolent drug offenses."

As a physician, you have built a successful medical practice that has served you well in the past. However, it is essential to consider whether your current model will continue to thrive in the future. This article will delve into the potential transformations your physician practice may undergo within the next five years. We will address crucial inquiries that lie ahead: Will your practice maintain its independence, or will you explore collaborations with hospital-supported physician groups? Is merging with a larger practice an avenue worth considering? Have you contemplated the possibility of selling your practice to private equity investors? Furthermore, we will delve into the financial aspects, including the capital requirements for technological advancements, infrastructure upgrades, and ancillary services. Additionally, we will underscore the significance of data analysis in optimizing billing processes, maximizing revenue collection, and evaluating provider productivity.
One option to consider is a merger or sale to a larger practice or hospital-supported physician group. Although this may involve some loss of autonomy, increased accountability, and greater oversight, there are several benefits to consider. You may experience relief from many administrative responsibilities, a more e cient use of clinical and non-clinical resources (labor and supplies), and improved physician production. Another benefit may be additional resources and talent to build or expand ancillary services to enhance the profitability of the practice.
The nature of the practice’s profile will be influenced by the type of merger that takes place, whether it is an integrated practice model or a divisional arrangement. In single specialty groups, an integrated group practice is more common. In an integrated practice arrangement, your existing group will cease to exist in a relatively short period. The physicians will identify as partners in the merged group, and o ce operations will follow a common set of rules and procedures so that patients will have the same experience walking into any o ce within the practice. Compensation for individual partners would generally be determined under a
standard income allocation formula.
Divisional mergers are frequently observed in multi-specialty groups, o ering joining practices a greater degree of autonomy. Divisions would, in many cases, separately compute net income, which would then be shared among the division partners in a regulatory-compliant manner. Common practice overhead for billing expenses, and practice management salaries and benefits would be allocated to the divisions under an agreed-upon formula.
The purchase price for a practice merging with another practice or health system will generally be significantly less than that of a private equity transaction. In some cases, there will not be any upfront purchase price, only the promise of increased profits based on more e cient operations, enhanced services and resources, and better payor contracts. The merging group trades o the upfront payment for increased individual partner compensation.
In a private equity (PE) transaction, the selling partners will see a reduction in their annual compensation, o set to some extent by a higher purchase price, and future profit opportunities in the management company created as part of the PE transaction structure.
In a merger into a hospital system, the hospital will create a captive professional corporation (PC) that will employ the physicians. Be aware that even the former partners of the old practice will be employees in the hospital’s physician practice entity. Additionally, ancillary services and profits are provided by the hospital. In a merger into a larger private practice, these would remain in the practice.
An alternative to merging with a hospital or larger group practice is selling your practice to private equity. This option allows physicians to retain ownership and a certain degree of autonomy while benefiting from the financial support and expertise of private equity investors. Unlike hospital acquisitions, private equity investors are primarily interested in a practice’s current and future cash flow. PE investors will only be successful if a practice can significantly increase cash flow through expansion and improvement of non-clinical e ciencies.
In a sale to a PE investor, the physician practice entity stays in place and continues to be owned by one or more of the original partners. In many states, including New York, the corporate practice of medicine prohibits non-physicians from owning a medical practice. The PE investor will also form a management services organization (MSO) that will contract to provide all non-clinical services to the practice, such as billing, management, and non-clinical labor.
These services are delineated in a management services agreement (MSA) between the practice and the MSO. It is important that the contracted fees for these services meet fair market value standards to avoid regulatory issues. Generally, PE investors will value and pay a multiple of normalized earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) for a practice. EBITDA represents the net free cash flow of a practice. The sale price is typically allocated between an up-front cash at closing payment, an earnout payment (more common in the postCOVID years) and an equity investment in the MSO.
Post-acquisition, the PE financial sponsor and the physicians will own the MSO. In addition, after the acquisition of the practice, physician compensation will be reduced to a fair market level, which will provide the cash flow required for the MSO management fee and simultaneously build value in the MSO. Additionally, unlike a sale to a hospital or a larger group practice, physicians, through their equity ownership in the MSO, can continue to participate in the upside of additional sales transactions when the PE investor sells the MSO. A “second bite of the apple” typically occurs within five years of a private equity fund’s initial investment.
The PE investor’s focus typically lies in establishing an initial platform centered around a single specialty or multi-specialty group that presents substantial opportunities for ancillary revenue sources, such as oncology and hematology, orthopedics, or gastroenterology. After the initial transaction, the newly formed entity will look to acquire other smaller practices to continue to build scale. Those subsequent acquisitions are valued at smaller EBITDA multiples than the initial transaction but are still attractive to the smaller practices

The future of physician practices is dynamic, with various paths to consider. Whether you choose to remain independent, explore a merger with a hospital-supported group, or engage with private equity, it’s essential to assess the capital requirements, analyze the data, and evaluate the potential benefits and trade-o s.

Two new studies have detailed the growing therapeutic use of cannabis among menopausal women and athletes in a recovery mode, while a professional medical association voiced its support of cannabis nursing.
According to a study presented during the recent 2023 Annual Meeting of The Menopause Society in Philadelphia, women and adults ages 50 and older are the fastest-growing group of cannabis users.
The new study culled data from more than 5,000 midlife women and analyzed the frequency, forms, and motives of cannabis use by primarily postmenopausal women. More than 40% of respondents acknowledged using cannabis for recreational or therapeutic purposes, most often to treat chronic pain (28%), anxiety (24%), sleep problems (22%), and stress (22%).
More than 10% of study participants said they used cannabis in the past 30 days, most often smoking
(56%), ingesting edible products (52%), or using cannabis in more than one form (39%). Among those with past 30-day use, 31% reported smoking cannabis on a daily or near-daily basis, while 19% reported daily or near-daily use of edible cannabis products.
Women who reported using cannabis specifically for menopause symptoms (6%) primarily reported targeting menopause-related mood and sleep difficulties.
“We know that cannabis products are being marketed to women to manage menopause symptoms, and these findings suggest that midlife women are turning to cannabis for menopause symptoms and other common issues in the menopause transition,” said Dr. Carolyn Gibson, lead author and health services researcher at the University of California, San Francisco. “But we still do not know if use is actually helping for those symptoms, or if it may be contributing to other challenges. These findings highlight the need for recognizing and discuss-
ing cannabis use in the health-care setting. Additional research is needed to evaluate the potential harms and/ or benefits of use.”
In a separate study published in the Journal of Cannabis Research, researchers with Kent State University in Ohio polled more than 100 athletes who reported using cannabis and regularly engaging in aerobic and/or resistance exercise.
The researchers found 20% of respondents used CBD for recovery from aerobic exercise and 23% reported CBD use to recover from resistance exercise, while 61% reported using THC after aerobic exercise for recovery and 60% reported using THC after resistance exercise for recovery.
When the participants were asked if cannabis in the form of CBD aided in their recovery, 93% said yes – 87% affirmed that THC aided in their recovery.
“The present study demonstrated that in addition to more traditional recovery methods, cannabis is used as an ergogenic recovery aid by individuals that exercise regularly,”
Proudly providing legal services since 1971.
said the study’s authors. “More data are necessary to understand the role of cannabis in exercise recovery as well as perceived ergogenic benefits of cannabis by individuals who both regularly participate in exercise and habitually use cannabis.”
Separately, the American Nurses Association (ANA), a professional organization representing 5 million nurses in the U.S, announced that it has provided formal recognition of cannabis nursing as a nursing specialty.
Cannabis nursing is identified by the American Cannabis Nurses Association (ACNA) – an organization that is separate from the ANA – as a specialty nursing practice focused on the care of health-care consumers seeking education and guidance in the therapeutic use of cannabis. The ANA voiced its support for clinical research to inform patients and providers on the efficacy of marijuana and related cannabinoids and recognized the potential for cannabinoids to be used in disease treatment and symptom management.
“ANA is pleased to officially recognize cannabis nursing practice as a nursing specialty,” said ANA President Dr. Jennifer Mensik Kennedy. “This recognition highlights the essential role and special contribution of cannabis nurses to the healthcare system and promotes enhanced integration of cannabis therapies for health-care consumers across diverse health-care settings.”

Nurturing their growing connection with students, Broadview at Purchase residents welcomed Purchase College students back on campus, Aug. 30 with a “FreeCycling” event. Hundreds of household items, books and other treasures donated by residents were piled high on tables. Students lined up around the campus quad almost an hour before the event waiting to sort through the mountain of items donated by the residents.
Kate Abate, Broadview at Purchase’s Resident Services and Intergenerational Program director, said it was a perfect match, noting that residents will be moving into their new homes within a matter of weeks and are in the process of downsizing. Abate, who was on hand to distribute the treasures, was rolling out a cart with items when students stopped her and began digging through the bin even before she reached the tables. One student fished out a tri-pod looking pleased with her find.
Purchase Student Isabelle Levy, who was assigned to photograph the event, said students were very excited about the prospect of getting free stuff for their dorm rooms. In addition to being a sophomore at the school, Isabelle’s grandmother will be moving into Broadview in the coming months.
The freecycle event is just the start of many connections Broadview residents hope to make with students as part of this new foray into intergenerational learning. Many of the retirees moving to Broadview are still active in their professions and want to give back to students by mentoring them.
Located on a 40-acre site on campus with walking and exercise trails, Broadview will offer its residents a wealth of amenities, including a full wellness suite with indoor swimming pool, fitness strength center, movement dance studio, a fully outfitted learning lab equipped with multifunctional smart technology classrooms, woodworking shop, fine and creative art studios, library, movie theatre, dog park, convenience store and Zen meditation deck.
Broadview Senior Living is a university-based retirement community located on the Purchase College, SUNY campus in Purchase, New York. The design for Broadview hinges on lifelong learning and intergenerational friendships, as residents will be able to audit courses and attend performances, lectures, events and more, all on the Purchase College campus. Broadview will comprise 220 living apartments and villas for seniors ages 62 and older, as well as offer assisted living apartments and memory care suites on-site
During his keynote address at WCA’s “Toasting to a Healthy Westchester,” Michael J. Dowling, CEO, Northwell Health, appealed to 250 key leaders in health care and business attending this annual dinner to try to solve what he called the social determinants of health, such as gun violence, poverty, obesity and drugs and alchohol abuse. “If we don’t solve these issues, we will never improve the health status of Americans,” he said, citing the pressures facing the industry today.
Held at Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill on Sept. 20, New York State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, chair of the state Assembly health committee, Deputy County Executive Ken Jenkins and Westchester County Health Commissioner Dr. Sherlita Amler were in attendance and saluted two health-care champions who were honored: Rita Mabli, president and CEO of United Hebrew of New Rochelle, and Judith Watson, CEO, Westchester Community Health Center.
Dowling, introduced by Joe Simone, president of Simone Development Companies, reflected on the extraordinary successes achieved in the industry while acknowledging the increasing complexities of the health-care business – spanning the expansion of health-care delivery in communities, artificial intelligence applications, workforce training and financial pressures. He outlined the challenges today’s health-care leaders face and urged leaders in the room to take action to meet them. “We have to be very comfortable with ambiguity. We have to be looking long term. There are a lot of issues here, but we do great work and should be very proud of what we do. Every challenge is an opportunity.”
Amy Allen, WCA vice president, provided an update on the WCA’s health-care initiatives, including the work of the WCA’s Healthcare Consortium and the organization’s partners to build a sustainable regional talent pipeline. Addressing the success of the county- and state-funded grant programs, Allen noted that “to date, our programs have trained 180 potential health-care workers with another 50 in training this fall. Health-care
employers have already hired 90 highly qualified graduates, with the salaries of placed participants at nearly $3.2 million — an ROI of 10:1. That’s what I would call a good investment.”
A nationally recognized leader in senior care, Mabli has transformed United Hebrew in New Rochelle over the past 40+ years from a nursing home into a campus of comprehensive eldercare where seniors can thrive. “It’s rewarding to be in the company of so many dynamic, powerful, diverse and inspiring people who share similar goals to improve the quality of life for others. But no success happens because of any one person.
I am here as a direct result of the support of our incredibly hardworking and compassionate team, a visionary board of directors, and many others with me here tonight. I share this award with them,” said Mabli.
Under Watson’s leadership, the organization formerly known as Mount Vernon Health Center has rebranded itself as the Westchester Community Health Center (WCHC) and is currently undergoing a $12 million upgrade to its facilities. Now serving 42 thousand patients annually, WCHC is improving access to high-quality health care in primarily underserved areas. Watson acknowledged her team and said, “I may be the face of the health center, but there are 300 folks on the ground doing all of the work. The true measure of a society is how we care for our most vulnerable. That’s what we have done at Westchester Community Health Center for the past 50 years and will for years to come.”
Susan Fox, WCA Board chair and CEO and president, White Plains Hospital, thanked the membership for on-
going support and extended her congratulations to the evening’s honorees. “I am proud and grateful to call these two women colleagues and friends, each a force in ensuring their communities get only the best care. Both Rita and the Westchester Community Health Center under Judith’s leadership have immeasurable impact on the health of Westchester residents. A well-deserved congratulations to you both.”
The Westchester County Association mission is to drive Westchester’s economic vitality, stimulate new business development and job creation and provide its members with the resources and talent they need to grow.
Thank you for joining us

For the first time, the sports fields in Fairfield County are having their line markers painted with a satellite-controlled robotic innovation called Turf Tank.
Rocco Lagana, president of Greenway Athletic Field Services, said, “We are demonstrating our commitment to provide leading-edge technology to our athletic field programs. This Turf Tank allows field lines to be drawn accurately every time because the equipment remembers the field layout and duplicates it every time using satellite guidance. And it’s done in a fraction of the time several workers historically needed. That means faster drying times leading to less wait-times to use the fields.”
Turf Tank joins Greenway’s other newest field enhancement technology – ABI Force, a laser-guided field grading system that identifies irregularities across the entire playing surface, removing irregularities (like puddles or standing water, heavy play areas, inconsistent, unsmooth playing surfaces and dips or holes) that can delay playing times and can harm players.
Greenway Athletic Field Services is a specialty division of Greenway Property Services, a Stamford-based landscaping company with over 135 years of combined experience across a variety of outdoor environments and challenges.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) recently announced more than $2.6 million in awards to New York state to support the White House Blueprint for Addressing the Maternal Health Crisis, a whole-of-government strategy to combat maternal mortality and improve maternal health, particularly in underserved communities.
The United States’ maternal mortality rate has been among the highest of any developed nation in recent decades. Disparities in mortality are stark — Black women are more than three times as likely as White women to die from pregnancy-related causes. The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to reversing these trends and making the U.S. the best country in the world to have a baby.
“At the Health Resources and Services Administration, we are laser-focused on reversing this crisis by expanding access to maternal care, growing the maternal care workforce, supporting moms experiencing maternal depression and addressing the important social supports that are vital to safe pregnancies” said HRSA Administrator Carole Johnson.

Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:REGN) and Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTLA) have expanded their research collaboration to develop additional in vivo CRISPR-based gene editing therapies focused on neurological and muscular diseases.
This collaboration will leverage Regeneron’s proprietary antibody-targeted adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors and delivery systems and Intellia’s proprietary Nme2 CRISPR/Cas9 (Nme2Cas9) systems adapted for viral vector delivery and designed to precisely modify a target gene.
Under the terms of the expanded agreement, the companies will initially research two in vivo non-liver targets. Intellia will lead the design of the editing methodology and Regeneron will lead the design of the targeted viral vector delivery approach.
Each company will have the opportunity to lead potential development and commercialization of product candidates for one target, and the company that is not leading development and commercialization will have the option to enter into a co-development and co-commercialization agreement for the target.
“To date, the widespread use of genetic medicines has generally been limited by the inability to deliver a genetic payload to cells of interest in the body beyond the liver,” said Dr. Aris Baras, senior vice president and co-head of Regeneron Genetic Medicines. “This expansion of our longstanding and productive collaboration with Intellia is taking advantage of new technology and innovations to unlock these opportunities.”
“We are excited to expand our successful collaboration with Regeneron to now accelerate the development of CRISPR-based therapies outside of the liver for the treatment of neurological and muscular diseases with significant unmet need,” added Intellia President and CEO Dr. John Leonard. “At Intellia, we are continuously innovating our editing and delivery solutions to realize the full potential of CRISPR gene editing as a new therapeutic modality. This collaboration is representative of our long-standing belief that the most groundbreaking solutions will come from selecting the best tools for each individual application, all of which are enabled by our industry-leading genome editing toolbox.”
New York state Senator Shelley Mayer (SD-37) and Assemblyman Steve Otis (AD-91) recently held a press conference to announce the “Living Shorelines” legislation they sponsored has been signed into law by Governor Kathy Hochul. This legislation will require the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to encourage the use of nature-based solutions as the preferred approach for stabilizing tidal shorelines in the oversight and regulatory decisions of the agency.
Communities across New York state face intensifying climate change related hazards, including dangerous floods. Hurricane Ida devastated communities and homes across New York, particularly those along the Sound Shore communities. Seventeen New Yorkers lost their lives and the storm caused $7.5 billion in damages, including damages to 11,000 homes and many roads. While less devastating, last week’s storm underscored our vulnerability. As storms become more frequent, intense and dangerous due to climate change, our communities become more vulnerable to these threats. Nature-based solutions or living shorelines, are shoreline management techniques that are supported or inspired by nature or natural processes and functions and are designed to mimic natural shorelines, improving the resilience of our shorelines and communities.
Living shorelines have a wide range of benefits, including: the reduction of flooding and erosion, improved water quality, providing greater stability against threats of storms, attracting wildlife and many more. The bill was inspired by the work of Save the Sound, Riverkeeper and The Nature Conservancy, three major advocacy organizations confronting the impacts of climate change on water bodies and inland areas.
“Governor Hochul’s signature of the Living Shorelines Act marks a major step forward for climate resilience in New York state, ensuring prioritization of permits for nature-based features such as native plants and oyster beds that provide habitat for wildlife as well as flood protections for communities – over projects that harden shorelines such as concrete seawalls and berms,” said Jeremy Cherson, Riverkeeper’s senior manager of government affairs.
“Increasing living shorelines is an important step toward making our communities more resilient to sea level rise and storm events, and will help to alleviate impacts of flooding. That’s why this legislation is necessary and timely and one of the priorities of the Long Island Sound Management Plan,” said Nancy Seligson, cochair of the Citizens Advisory Committee of the National Estuary Program for Long Island Sound, the Long Island Sound Study.

of summer school in the community. This award recognizes its innovative design and its ability to promote conservation knowledge, attitudes, and behavior.
During the five-week program, students engage in a variety of activities, including animal encounters and trips aboard the Aquarium’s research vessel. Classroom math and literacy activities expand on conservation themes, and students are encouraged to learn more about what interests them through hands-on, project-based learning. The summer culminates with a night at the Aquarium for the students to share what they learned with their families.
Norwalk Superintendent of Schools Dr. Alexandra Estrella said, “The collaboration with The Maritime Aquarium has been instrumental in reshaping our Summer Academy, turning it into a dynamic and immersive learning experience that goes beyond traditional summer schooling, ultimately enhancing the educational journey for our scholars….”
The Maritime Summer Academy was funded in part by Connecticut State Department of Education grants of $244,180 in 2021 and $224,879 in 2022.
Archtop Fiber in Kingston, a provider of multigig, 100%-fiber internet and phone service to residential and business customers across the Northeast, has closed its acquisition of Hancock Telephone Company, a family-owned telecommunications provider based in Hancock, New York. Through this acquisition, Archtop Fiber will provide telecommunications services to customers throughout Hancock’s Delaware County, New York, and northeastern Pennsylvania service area and beyond.
“Hancock Telephone has a longstanding reputation for innovation and unparalleled customer service. The fiber network they built is a perfect fit for Archtop, and we can’t wait to expand their fiber reach even further,” said Jeff DeMond, chairman and CEO of Archtop Fiber. “The Wrighter family has fulfilled the communication needs of the Hancock community for over a century and built an amazing company full of talented, passionate people who we are glad to be working with.
The Hancock deal comes on the heels of the closure of Archtop Fiber’s acquisition of New York-based GTel. These acquisitions are part of Archtop Fiber’s larger plan to bridge the digital divide in underserved communities in New York’s Hudson Valley and beyond with state-of-the-art, 100%-fiber multigig internet. In May, Archtop announced a stock purchase agreement with Momentum Telecom, a leading provider of managed cloud communications services, to acquire its New York-based Warwick Valley Telephone Co. The deal is pending regulatory approval.
Archtop Fiber was founded with a commitment to bring the fastest, most reliable, environmentally friendly and affordable internet access to those who have traditionally been underserved — or even overlooked. The Archtop team has decades of success partnering with communities, large and small, to create technology-driven opportunities.
