These 4 Westchester projects will get ‘priority’ for state grant funding

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

S

tate development funds could be headed toward four Westchester County projects, including two public efforts aimed at improving village waterfronts on opposite sides of the county.

The Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council published its 2018 annual report earlier this month, in which it recommended 21 “Priority Projects” for the Hudson Valley region. The 26-member Mid-Hudson council is one of 10 regional councils statewide vying for shares of up to $750 million in state grants, loans and tax credits.

While the majority of the council’s recommendations for state funding focus on projects farther north, Westchester could see up to $5 million in grant funding if the state acts on its recommendations.

The council’s Westchester priorities include: • A plan from the village of Sleepy Hollow to turn a former General Motors manufacturing site near its Hudson River waterfront into a community space; » WESTCHESTER

Pair of Newtown breweries adding to Fairfield County’s burgeoning beer-making scene

hile the microbrewery trend has been rising like so much yeast around Fairfield County, Newtown has remained high and dry.

But that’s about to change, as a pair of new taprooms are in the process of opening there.

Reverie Brewing Co. is under construction at the former LRM Inc. shop at 57B Church Hill

Road with an eye to opening in December, according to co-owner Ryan Broderick, while Asylum Brewing Co. has received the town’s OK to become the first for-profit commercial tenant at Fairfield Hills, the onetime site of a state hospital.

First Selectman Dan Rosenthal has been a vocal proponent of bringing a commercial element to Fairfield Hills, a 185acre campus that currently is a mélange of government offices, sports fields, the Newtown Youth Academy sports complex and the

under-construction community center and senior center.

A number of hospital buildings remain that are either in the process of being razed or repurposed, including the 9,000-square-foot Stratford Hall, once the hospital’s library and executive dinning hall. Mark Tambascio, co-owner of Asylum, said that the building was his first and only choice for realizing his longstanding dreams of opening a brewery.

Hers Have recipes, will travel: Paty Mendes' personal chef service covers four counties

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

P

aty Mendes resides in New Milford, but she could arguably qualify for residency in Fairfield, Westchester, Dutchess and Putnam counties. Through her Sweet Bakery service, Mendes spends most of her time in homes across the four counties, working as a personal chef who prepares a variety of meals for families that lack the time for in-depth kitchen duties and don’t want to rely on frozen entrees or graband-go chains for their meals.

Cooking has been part of Mendes’ world since her childhood in Brazil.

“When I was a little girl, I was always in the kitchen with my sisters and my mom and my grandma,” she recalled. “My grandma had a restaurant a long time ago in Brazil, and we would go there on the weekend and just look at her cooking.”

Arriving in the U.S. 20 years ago, Mendes sought a culinary career, and within a few years landed work as a single-client personal chef.

Five years ago, her job came to an end and she began baking breads, cakes and cookies that she sold in Brazilian stores across the region. She also took to social media, posting photographs of her creations on Facebook and Instagram under the “Sweet Bakery” banner. Soon, she began fielding inquiries about bringing her kitchen skills to local homes.

But rather than concentrate on a single home, Mendes chose to divide her time among multiple residences.

Mendes’ clients are all business professionals with families. “I usually have 12

clients a week, but now, I have eight because I am attending school at night,” she said, referring to her pastry baking studies at Lincoln Culinary Institute in Shelton.

Mendes consults with her clients to determine their preferred cuisines. She is proficient at cooking Italian, Indian, Latin American and Thai dishes and she gets guidance on which ingredients she needs to avoid due to food allergies. When asked why it seems that there are far more food allergies today than in the past, she shrugged ruefully and noted, “GMO food. We didn’t have that back then.”

The clients then map out how many meals will

be required. Mendes cooks at the clients’ homes, sometimes spending a full day creating enough meals to last a week. “Everything is cooked, packed and labeled,” she said, adding that she even bakes fresh bread rather than have her clients rely on store-bought items.

Mendes works solo for her in-home service from Mondays through Saturdays, but relies on assistance for larger projects. “I only have a sous chef when I do catering or when I do private parties,” she said.

To keep the meal selection fresh, Mendes is constantly devising recipes that she feels will appeal to her clients. “I have a lot of reci-

pes in my head. There are so many that I can’t even count,” she stated. When asked if she ever sought inspiration for recipes from television chefs such as Martha Stewart or Bobby Flay, she laughed out loud and insisted, “Not at all. I don’t watch cooking shows on television. Nobody inspires me.”

If there is one downside to her work, Mendes admitted, it would be the long drives across her four-county market. “I drive four hours a day,” she said. “I have no other choice.”

But maybe she will have a choice. One area where Mendes would like to strengthen her expertise involves French cuisine.

She is looking into taking classes in Paris to learn the subject at its home base. She would also like to reverse the Sweet Bakery formula and have clients come to her. “I want to open a bake shop and provide the food for everyone from my shop rather than go to their house,” she said.

However, Mendes has no plans to follow her grandmother’s business route and open her own restaurant.

And while she has compiled a large number of recipes, she has no desire to gather them into a cookbook. “I don’t have time,” she insisted.

One question that gave Mendes pause to think was whether the culinary arts was a talent unique to some people or if kitchen wizardry could be achieved by anyone. Her answer: it has less to do with the mind and much more to do with the heart.

“I think you have to love doing it,” she said. “If you have a little bit of creativity and like to learn, then anyone can cook. But you have to love to cook. If you love, then you will be successful.”

Berkeley College facing NYC lawsuit for recruiting, loan collection practices MAIN OFFICE TELEPHONE 914-694-3600 OFFICE FAX 914-694-3699 EDITORIAL EMAIL bobr@westfairinc.com WRITE TO 3 Westchester Park Drive, Suite G7 White Plains, N.Y. 10604-3407

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

N

ew York City is taking Berkeley College to court for what it says are deceptive and predatory recruiting and loan collection practices.

Berkeley is one of the largest for-profit colleges in New York, with more than 3,500 students spread across campuses in Manhattan, Brooklyn, White Plains and four New Jersey locations. Berkeley’s White Plains campus, at 99 Church St., offers business, health and professional studies programs.

To bring new students to its campuses, the New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) accuses the college of aggressive recruiting that deceives students from low-income backgrounds on potential financial aid and institutional grants.

The allegations are part of a lawsuit the DCA filed against the college in Manhattan Supreme Court on Oct. 19. DCA Commissioner Lorelei Salas said Berkeley College recruiters “appear to say whatever they think a prospective student wants to hear, especially when it comes to academic programs, employment, transfer credits and federal student loans, regardless of the truth, to convince them to enroll.”

A Berkeley College spokesperson denied the allegations and said the lawsuit is under review by its legal counsel.

The lawsuit follows what the DCA said was a two-year investigation of the college, during which department investigators interviewed current and former students, ran undercover operations and reviewed thousands of pages of documents from Berkeley.

The investigation paints a picture, the DCA claims, of a college that pretends to advocate on behalf of first-generation college students while actually misrepresenting facts about the financial aid process.

In one instance, DCA officials said a student was told by a Berkeley recruiter she qualified for a scholarship that would cover practically all of her part-time tuition. A year later, the lawsuit states, she discovered that paper-

work Berkeley had her sign put her unknowingly on the hook for more than $13,000 in federal student loans. Her scholarship only covered $1,130 per term, according to the lawsuit, while part-time tuition and fees totaled $4,475 per term.

The school is accused of “tricking” students into taking out loans directly from Berkeley, which were described as payment plans.

Berkeley would allegedly block students from paying tuition balances up front, instead steering them into a payment plan.

Berkeley recruiters also allegedly misled students about the employment and graduation prospects of its programs. A college recruiter told an undercover DCA inspector that “96 percent of our students graduate and are employed once they graduate,” the lawsuit alleges. Berkeley’s graduation rate is actually 29 percent, according to the lawsuit.

The college’s debt-collection practices are also challenged in the lawsuit. Berkeley allegedly refused to release one graduate’s diploma before he paid $3,000 that the college said he owed, despite allegedly having previously told him he graduated owing nothing.

WCBJ

The lawsuit also questions Berkeley’s underlying business model. The school, DCA officials argue, “spends a lot of money to target and recruit a population of students comprised mostly of people of color and first-generation college students with limited financial literacy and little familiarity with higher education.”

The school’s average costs per semester for a full-time student are $12,950 in tuition and fees. The lawsuit compares that to schools in the City University of New York public college system. At CUNY, a student can expect to pay, on average, $3,685 per semester at four-year campuses and $2,720 at two-year campuses.

Berkeley charges the higher fees despite, the lawsuit alleges, spending less on student education than competing nonprofit colleges. Citing internal documents, DCA officials say Berkeley spends an average of $5,161 per student on instruction. CUNY, meanwhile, spends $11,000 per student, while nonprofit colleges in New York state spend an average of $19,025 per student on instruction.

Instead, the lawsuit argues, Berkeley invests heavily in its

enrollment and admissions departments. The DCA said the school’s recruiters often work off scripted prompts that push students to visit the campus, even if Berkeley does not offer the program a prospective student is interested in. If a student told a recruiter he or she was interested in engineering, Berkeley allegedly had its recruiters reply that “engineering is a very demanding field and often requires obtaining a license after completing a college degree.” Recruiters allegedly also were told to create a sense of urgency by telling students “classes are filling up quickly.”

In response to the allegations, the Berkeley spokesperson said the college has “an 87-year history of serving students in the New York metropolitan area under the highest principles.”

The school also provided a link to a 2017 Income Mobility Report Card, which placed Berkeley 21st among all U.S. colleges for the likelihood a graduate moved up two or more income quintiles.

The DCA lawsuit asks the court to require the college to pay restitution to customers allegedly deceived by its practices.

DANBURY’S ODYSSEY LOGISTICS ACQUIRING AFF GLOBAL LOGISTICS FOR $465M

Odyssey Logistics & Technology Corp., which provides comprehensive multimode service and technology products across a diverse customer base, is acquiring AFF Global Logistics for $465 million in a combination of cash and equity.

Headquartered in Fife, Washington, AFF is a third-party logistics provider and freight forwarder operating in global markets. One of its specialties is providing door-todoor domestic forwarding for offshore U.S. markets such as Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

The acquisition is the largest in Danbury-based Odyssey Logistics’ history, adding more than 35 global locations and 600 employees, which will raise Odyssey’s workforce to more than 2,400.

“AFF’s load consolidation expertise, U.S. offshore mar-

kets coverage, warehouse network and Asia Pacific import business will markedly enhance Odyssey’s strong truck, rail, marine and facility networks,” said Odyssey Logistics President and CEO Bob Shellman. “This transaction reflects Odyssey’s commitment to continuous growth and expansion of services, which we expect will be complementary and provide a broader range of services to both Odyssey and AFF global customers.”

The transaction is expected to close by year-end, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

NORTHEAST MEDICAL GROUP OPENING AT THE WESTPORT CENTER FOR HEALTH

Northeast Medical Group will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new multispecialty center at 327 Riverside Ave. in Westport at 5:30 p.m. on Oct. 30.

An existing two-story building has been remod-

eled to house the family medicine offices of Dr. Steven Benaderet and his practice partners Dr. Jaime Leahy and Amanda Zygmant.

In June, The Davis Cos. announced that Northeast Medical Group had signed a lease to occupy 6,300 square feet at the Westport Center for Health off Interstate 95 on the Saugatuck River.

The Westport Center for Health represents the largest collection of medical providers in Westport, according to The Davis Cos., which transformed a group of underutilized buildings into a medical campus. The site is home to Coastal Orthopedics, Westport Dermatology & Laser Center, Westport Dental Associates, Village Pediatrics, Professional Physical Therapy and Women’s Health Connecticut.

In addition, a number of specialty physicians will hold office hours at the site on alternating days each week, including urologist Matthew Wosnitzer,

endocrinologist Danielle Benaviv-Meskin and specialists in cardiology, gastroenterology, and pulmonary and sleep medicine.

Northeast Medical Group President and CEO Prathibha Varkey will preside at the opening ceremony. Other medical and community leaders are also expected to attend, including Michael Ivy, interim CEO of Bridgeport Hospital and deputy chief medical officer, Yale New Haven Health, the organization to which Northeast Medical belongs.

SHELTON P&Z ADMINISTRATOR RICK SCHULTZ RESIGNS TO TAKE SIMILAR MONROE JOB

Shelton Planning and Zoning Administrator Rick Schultz has resigned from that position, effective Nov. 2, to become Monroe’s town planner, starting Nov. 5.

“I want to thank the residents of Shelton for giving me the opportunity to

Citing growing debt and less-than-expected revenues, Revolution Lighting Technologies CEO and Chairman Robert LaPenta has proposed taking the company off the NASDAQ and making it private.

The Stamford company has revised its third-quarter revenue guidance from between $40 million and $41 million to $33 million, and its full-year 2018 numbers from between $160 million and $170 million to between $140 million and $145 million.

LaPenta has provided approximately $15 million of capital to fund operations, bringing Revolution’s total debt, including bank financing, to over $60 million.

In a letter to the company’s independent directors, LaPenta wrote: “The company’s ongoing liquidity needs, which we do not believe can be addressed through third-party funding, are likely to require us to provide additional funding, which we are reluctant to do at this time given the company’s current operations and cost structure.

“Simply put,” he continued, “we do not believe that it is in the best interests of the company and its stockholders to continue as a

publicly traded enterprise, as we believe it currently lacks sufficient scale and the ongoing costs of maintaining the reporting and related infrastructure necessary for public reporting are a significant financial burden on the company.

“In addition,” LaPenta wrote, “we believe the constant pressure to meet quarterly earnings targets has been a significant distraction to the company’s management and has prevented management from appropriately focusing on the long-term growth and the development of the company’s business.”

LaPenta went on to propose that Revolution Lighting Technologies acquire all of the common stock it doesn’t already own for $2 per share.

He noted that the board is open to exploring and potentially pursuing alternative ways of maximizing stockholder value.

Robert LaPenta

Revolution’s board has formed a transaction committee composed of independent board members to review the privatization plan and to weigh other solutions. That committee is in the process of engaging a financial adviser to assist in its evaluation.

The company said it will not publicly disseminate any further information about the process until the board has approved a specific transaction.

for five years,” Tambascio, who also operates My Place, one of the town’s mainstay eateries, said. “I got into brewing by homebrewing and once the town approved breweries and distilleries, we started looking seriously at it.”

The town’s Planning & Zoning Commission approved zoning regulations allowing such establishments as permitted land uses in September 2017. Tambascio said he began negotiating for Stratford Hall a month later.

While he’s still working to secure financing from a bank, Tambascio said that Newtown has been “extremely helpful” in repurposing the building, which opened in 1932. The town will bear the cost of remediating and replacing Stratford’s original roof as well as providing utility connectivity, exterior window trim work and additional remediation as required,

Westchester—

• Equipment upgrades at an industrial laundry in Mount Vernon; • A renovation of the Greyston Foundation’s headquarters in Yonkers; and • A transformation of the Port Chester Byram River shore led by the village.

For the Sleepy Hollow project, the council recommended the state pitch in $2.5 million toward the estimated $15 million project. Known as Sleepy Hollow Commons, the village aims to clean up a 28-acre, village-owned parcel on the east side of the sprawling property that served for decades as part of a manufacturing plant for General Motors. The land would be converted into a community center with an outdoor amphitheater, recreational facilities, green space and a bridge over Metro-North tracks to better connect the central village to the waterfront.

The village’s project coincides with an estimated billion-dollar joint venture project led by Diversified Realty and SunCal that is redeveloping the other nearly 70 acres

through existing bond money. All told, the town will spend some $180,000 on the work. Asylum has a 30-year lease at the building.

“There was no Plan B,” affirmed Tambascio’s partner and architect David Kingsley, whose DJ Kingsley Design/Build is designing the new space.

He also helped build My Place’s beer bar. “We weren’t going to do it in a garage or a warehouse.”

Asylum will utilize both of the building’s two floors, taking advantage of the 26-foot ceiling on the upper floor and working to preserve as much of the structure’s historical ambience as possible.

“The fact that Mark is such a known commodity in town helped a lot,” Kingsley said. My Place has been in business for about 30 years.

The Tambascio family has also operated Tambascio’s Italian Grill at 1 Dodgingtown Road since 2007. The family, headed by matriarch Louise

formerly occupied by GM. That project, which started construction in 2016, could eventually feature more than a thousand condos, townhouses and rental apartments, a 140-room boutique hotel and close to 200,000 square feet of office and retail space.

Speaking with the Business Journal about Sleepy Hollow Commons in July, Sleepy Hollow Mayor Ken Wray said it would create “something the village has never had before: a new center, a new village commons.”

The first $2 million in state funds toward the project would fund stormwater and infrastructure improvements on the site.

Port Chester similarly could receive a boost to help improve its downtown waterfront. The village applied to the state for funding toward a nearly $5 million initiative that would turn a village block on the Byram River into “a multifaceted public space for creativity, collaboration, recreation and civic engagement.” That would include plazas, a pedestrian bridge above the river, 140 new boat slips and a kayak launch.

Tambascio, regularly sponsors youth sports teams and frequently donates food and money to a variety of town projects, Kingsley added.

Another partner, Mark Lennon, who oversees the My Place bar, said that while the project was initially called M&D Brewery, the decision was made to instead call it Asylum as a tongue-in-cheek reference to the site’s past.

“We have to be careful. We’re not going to have beers called Lobotomy Lager or Electroshock Stout,” he said. “We’re also talking about donating a percentage of our proceeds to mental health causes.”

Asylum’s output will be developed by brewer John Watson, who Tambascio met while getting into homebrewing. He said Asylum will probably have 15 beers on tap at a time, with a capacity of about 600 barrels. Opening will take place some time next year, he said.

Despite the family’s long

experience with restaurants, Tambascio said Asylum will not feature a kitchen. Instead, it will have a large outdoor pizza oven and offer crudité platters. Asylum has also received approval to have a single food truck on the premises during operating hours.

Meanwhile, Reverie’s Broderick said he’d also taken a look at Stratford Hall, but decided it was too large for his needs. Instead, he’s in the process of converting a 5,600-square-foot building as a taproom with a 23-foot bar, and will use another 1,700-square-foot building nearby for storage.

Reverie is operating under a five-year lease with landlord LRM, which is helping with some of the construction and is removing old materials and debris from the property.

A longtime employee at JP Morgan in Greenwich, Broderick said he also became interested in craft beer through homebrewing.

Port Chester waterfront as seen today (top) and plans for revitalization.

The initiative is part of an ongoing process in the village to update its zoning to a form-based code. The village budgeted $650,000 last year to fund the zoning overhaul’s planning and community engagement process, which it has branded “Plan the Port.”

The council recommended the state award the project

$1.2 million in grant funding for this round. Through previous competitions, the waterfront project has already been awarded a total of about $1.4 million in state funding. This year’s funding would allow the village to continue infrastructure and site work, the village told the council.

Westchester’s other two

The Redding resident said he and his wife had “fallen in love with Newtown. We come here to eat all the time, and we felt the town had the right community vibe for what we want to do.”

Longtime brewer Frank Lockwood has relocated from Brooklyn to serve as Reverie’s head brewer.

Broderick noted that his father Mark, who operated a restaurant in Waterbury, also has an ownership stake in the brewery, which will start by producing around 600 barrels a year. “(Economic and Community Development Deputy Director) Christal Preszler has been amazing. She paved the way for us with Zoning,” Broderick enthused. “And Dan (Rosenthal) wants this type of stuff in town, something for younger people to enjoy.”

The community spirit has also been important, he continued. While there were concerns over parking

(Reverie has access to about 50 parking spots for 100 seats) he said that Newtown Hardware has agreed to let patrons park in its lot at nearby 61 Church Hill Road.

“Getting permissions from the town and the federal government was fairly easy,” he said. “It’s the state that’s been slowing things up.

Everybody else does things electronically, but with the state, you still have to go the paper route.”

Broderick noted that other local brewers, including the recently opened Broken Symmetry in Bethel and Nod Hill in Ridgefield, have been helpful when it came to questions about how to build a proper beer-making operation. “You’d think they’d be really competitive,” he said, “but it’s more like one big community.”

Reverie will also feature food trucks.

“I don’t want to run a kitchen, too much hassle and extra cost,” Broderick said.

priority projects involve private operators. Regent Hospitality Linen Services, a Queens company with a Mount Vernon industrial laundry, requested $225,000 toward a $1.25 million equipment purchase.

The company said it would use the funds to install a co-generation system that would use recaptured heat to help power the laundry.

The potential power savings would allow the company to increase production, hire more employees and offer better training to new and existing employees, according to the council’s report.

The company estimated the project could create 25 jobs.

In 2016, the Mount Vernon Industrial Development Agency approved a tax incentive package for Regent Hospitality totaling an estimated $958,000 over 10 years toward its $6.1 million plan to convert a warehouse at 130 South Columbus Ave. in the city into a laundromat serving the hotel industry.

The Greyston Foundation applied for about $1 million in state grant funding toward a $5.4 million project that

will repair and refurbish its campus at 21-23 Park Ave. in Yonkers. Greyston would use the renovated space for job-creation programs as well as for events. The funding would be used to upgrade a commercial kitchen on the site and renovate all buildings for safety, according to the council description. Greyston estimates the project could create 13 permanent jobs, as well as 75 indirect and construction jobs.

This is the eighth competitive funding process since Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo established the councils in 2011. The grants are from Empire State Development, the state’s chief economic development agency.

The round will award more than $750 million in state funding and tax incentives, including up to $150 million in capital grants and up to $75 million in Excelsior tax credits. An additional $525 million in grants from other state agency programs will be awarded through the process as well.

The grants will be announced by the end of the year.

Danbury circulates RFP for Tuxedo Junction property

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

T

uxedo Junction, the long-vacant former concert facility in downtown Danbury, is looking to get a new lease on life.

The city has opened a request for proposals and will host a walk-through of the nearly 7,000-square-foot space at 3 Post Office St. on Oct. 29.

“This is one of a number of projects that we’ve been working on,” said Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton. “We felt this was the right time for us to open the process.

November is relatively quiet, so we have the time to prepare the right kind of lease docu-

ment and budget for what we need.”

The city purchased the building for $395,000 in April 2017 following relatively brief negotiations with owners Ron and Rick Jowdy. “It’s a small project, but it’s something that can have a big impact,” Boughton told the Business Journal at the time, indicating that he hoped it would continue life as a live-entertainment venue that would seat up to 350 people.

The mayor said that, while he feels the building is still suited to such use, “We’re open to other suggestions and ideas. This is a public/private partnership. Somebody could come along and say, ‘Let’s make it a comedy club’ and we’d say, ‘That’s an interesting idea.’ It could be a performing arts

Built in 1920, the space has a total of 6,890 square feet available, 6,616 of which is on the first floor. According to the Danbury assessor’s office, the ceiling heights on the first floor are 12 feet high. Not included is the Tuxedo Junction bar, whose entrance is at 2 Ives St. The property opened under the Tuxedo Junction name in 1985, hosting concerts by the likes of Joan Jett, Stephen Stills and Oasis, as well as shows by local bands. But it closed in 2013 after then-owners Al Caccamo and Michael Roviello decided to get out of the business.

Tuxedo Junction was then acquired by Ian Bick, who went on to have several run-ins with the law ranging from charges of second-degree mischief to selling alcohol without a permit before ultimately receiving a three-year prison sentence in October 2016 for operating a Ponzi scheme that authorities said had cost investors some $500,000. The club was shuttered soon after sentencing.

In its RFP, the city said it is willing to negotiate lease terms with the to-be-determined tenant, either providing a below-market rental rate or a market rental rate with capital improvements made by the city prior to occupancy. The tenant will be responsible for all utilities and insurance, and will be required to name the city as an additional insured.

Bidders must provide $1 million in general liability insurance, $5 million for excess liability and workers’ compensation in accordance with state law. In addition, if alcohol consumption is to be allowed on the property, $10 million of liquor liability is required.

“They could rent it for a dollar a year if they’re doing their own improvements,” Boughton said. “We’re not looking to make money off it. The city only needs to break even.”

The mayor opined that the property “needs some work, no question, but not a lot to get it into shape” if the eventual tenant decides to keep it as an entertainment venue. If the tenant decides to renovate it for other uses, such as office space, the costs would be considerably more, he said.

Interested parties are requested to submit five copies of their proposal to the Office of the Purchasing Agent, Charles Volpe Jr., by 2 p.m. on Nov. 21. Bids must include a letter of interest outlining the proposed use of the property; a business plan for its use, complete with rental and capital improvement costs; proof of insurance; and a demonstrated ability to acquire any necessary financing.

Bidder interviews will be conducted on or about the week of Dec. 3, with identification of the most qualified respondents made the following week. Awarding of the project will take place around the end of this year or the beginning of 2019.

Westchester’s roads are an embarrassment

rive across the new Tappan Zee Bridge and you are cruising on what is arguably America's highest-profile, highest-dollar-cost public infrastructure project.

But once off the bridge on the eastbound side, the conditions on Westchester's arterials are a far different story. The Bronx River Parkway, Taconic State Parkway, Saw Mill River Parkway, I-287 and I-684 in large part have road surface conditions that have been deplorable for years, falling well short of nationally recognized highway standards, and that are especially hazardous for motorists in wet or icy conditions.

And those poor conditions continue on into Putnam and Dutchess counties.

While the New York State Department of Transportation Regional Office in Poughkeepsie has made progress, it is far too little and far too long in the coming. They just don't have the funds. But the real problem lies in the governor's office.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo lacks a meaningful vision for the state, a failure that is reflected in other ways, but certainly in our regional roadways and our overall regional infrastructure. There are some new roadway projects in the making, but the basics of safe road maintenance have been shamefully neglected.

This governor might spend less time commenting on social issues, such as publicly scolding North Carolina for its stand on transgender bathrooms. We don't need a governor to offer us moral guidance. We have houses of worship for that!

What is clearly needed is a new, adequately funded, statewide transportation bond act.

Long overdue, Gov. Cuomo, long overdue.

The late Gov. Mario M. Cuomo, and later Gov. George E. Pataki, had in common the recognition and clear vision that overall modern transportation modalities and safe highways were gubernatorial imperatives.

Gov. Mario M. Cuomo's early 1980s initiative, The Rebuild New York Bond Act, made a solid commitment to the state's infrastructure.

Gov. Pataki's 2005 $2.9 Billion Rebuild and Renew New York State Transportation Bond Act successfully targeted funds to upgrade and modernize transportation hubs, airports and marine ports across New York. Both governors knew that modern infrastructure and the financial commitment to make it possible were key to New York's economic competitiveness and the state's overall economic vitality.

Both governors were nationally recognized for their vision and leadership, and properly so.

And both governors knew that good public policy is the best politics!

In contrast, this being a gubernatorial

election year, as happened in the prior election year, 2014, these arterials have been given a quick-and-dirty, slap-dab patch job, slathering a thin coat of asphalt on some areas, but leaving undone long stretches of rough, scrabbled roadways, poorly repaired potholes and below-grade highway conditions.

What a shame!

What an embarrassment!

Elder Law and Estate Planning News from Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano, LLP

Report measures shift in homebuyer preferences

A Primer on How to Provide for your Bitcoin in your Estate Planning and the Taxation Thereof

By Anthony J. Enea. Esq.

The ownership of a digital currency whether it be Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency has by its very nature significant complexities.

As part of its inherent complexities the issue of its taxation and how one can legally dispose of the cryptocurrency upon one’s demise needs to be properly addressed.

In spite of most references to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as being a “digital currency”, the IRS in Notice 2014-21 issued on March 25, 2014 made it clear that for purposes of federal taxation in the U.S., Bitcoin is to be treated as “property”. Thus, like all other forms of “property” the principles of taxation that apply to property transactions apply to the transactions involving a cryptocurrency. Thus, income taxation, short and/ or long-term capital gains and/or losses and their attendant tax rates need to be applied to transactions involving Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. The use of a cryptocurrency to purchase goods and services has the potential for income taxation, or losses, as there could be income taxes due on the difference between the value of the cryptocurrency at the time it was purchased, and its fair market value when spent on goods or services. This taxation could also occur when it is converted into U.S. dollars.

Because a Cryptocurrency is treated as property by the IRS, extensive and detailed record keeping is needed. The failure to adequately keep records as to transactions could potentially come back to haunt one’s family and estate if contemporaneous records are not kept and income taxes paid on the transactions annually.

On the positive side, upon the death of a Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency holder, the beneficiaries of said cryptocurrency will receive the cryptocurrency at its fair market value on the holder’s date of death. Section 1022 of the Internal Revenue Code. Their cost basis is stepped up to its date of death value as it is includible like any other property in the decedent’s taxable estate, subject to federal and state estate tax laws and their applicable estate tax credits.

Because of its digital nature there is no tangible documentary evidence of the cryptocurrency’s existence. There is no Bitcoin bank statement. In essence, its owners engage in direct transactions with each other. There are more than 100,000 merchants that accept Bitcoin as payment. As of the date of this writing one Bitcoin is worth approximately 6,600 U.S. dollars. The transactions in Bitcoins are recorded in a publicly distributed database which is known as a “blockchain”. The blockchain is constantly and regularly updated. It is

in the blockchain where the Bitcoin exist.

The name of the Bitcoin owner is not publicly recorded, but, one’s ownership is tied to a specific Bitcoin address. This is where the potential problem exists for not only the holder, but, his or her heirs. One’s Bitcoin can only be accessed by the holder of its two (2) digital keys. One key is public and the other is private.

The problem exists if the private key is lost, there is no way to access the Bitcoin. Generally, both keys are stored in a digital wallet by the holder.

Because Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency is treated as property, it can be distributed by one’s Last Will and Testament and be technically assigned/transferred to one’s Revocable and/or Irrevocable Trust. This would require that the Trust be the holder of the Bitcoin in the blockchain. Even if one’s heirs, executor(s), and trustee(s) know of the existence of the Bitcoin, however, if they do not know of both digital keys, the Bitcoin cannot be accessed and distributed to one’s beneficiaries. It would be for all practical purposes forever lost in the block chain.

This problem is unfortunately similar to that facing the owners of all types of digital assets.

One’s passwords, keys, etc. must be divulged to one’s family and those tasked with handling one’s affairs. This problem of knowledge of two keys (both public and private) is also a dilemma if the Bitcoin holder is taken ill and/or is incapacitated. The named agent under his or her Power of Attorney would not be able to access the Bitcoin without knowledge of the private key and if the Power of Attorney does not refer to digital assets.

Because of the volatile nature of the Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies it is imperative that the executor/trustee of an estate and/or trust beware of its volatility and take all necessary steps to seek to comply with the Prudent Investor Act and diversify the holdings in the Trust and/or estate. Even ownership of just a little bit of Bitcoin can end up creating headaches. In conclusion, the ownership of a cryptocurrency has a number of potential pitfalls. *Anthony J.

n the decade since the 2008 financial crisis brought the country’s worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, real estate professionals say behaviors of the typical homebuyer in New York City’s northern suburbs have shifted.

Today’s buyer in Westchester County, along with Fairfield County and the Hudson Valley, is more likely to be cautious. They're more often willing, according to a recent market report, to give up square footage or acreage to be in more convenient communities with access to transit.

The changes are documented in a report from Houlihan Lawrence titled “Ten Years From The Financial Crisis: A Shifting Definition of Value.”

“Ten years ago, I think buyers were working in fear of losing a home, of having too much competition out there just to get a house,” said Barry T. Graziano, a branch manager and associate real estate broker in Houlihan Lawrence’s Armonk office. “Today’s buyer is a little bit more prepared. They’re looking at a lot of data, looking at inventory, at multiple homes and are looking for that key-ready home with everything they need. They’re not in such a rush anymore.”

The report also analyzed data on where the region is finding its buyers. Overall, the demographics of buyers in 2017 are similar to 2009. About 60 percent are buying within their community, close to a quarter are coming out of New York City and between 5 percent and 10 percent from out of state or abroad. One noticeable change is a jump in buyers from Brooklyn, even if

the borough’s transplants remain overall a small part of the market. Just 2 percent of buyers in the northern suburbs came out of Brooklyn in 2009. Last year, the number had tripled, with 6 percent of buyers coming north from Brooklyn.

Graziano said New York City buyers in general have sought transit-oriented locations in southern Westchester, for easier access to Manhattan, as well as areas with walkable neighborhoods.

The report was released following a third quarter during which the Westchester County residential market showed a slight decrease in overall sales and flat median prices.

There were 3,022 residential sales of single-family homes, condominiums, cooperatives and two- to four-family buildings in Westchester County during the quarter, marking a roughly 5 percent decrease compared with the same period last year, according to a market report from the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors.

Median sale prices stayed relatively flat, as measured by HGAR. Westchester’s median single-family home sale price of $679,000 was down just a tenth of a percent from the same point last year.

“As of the third quarter, it does not appear that the tax reform law passed earlier in the year has had a material effect on sales, nor have gradually rising mortgage interest rates,” the HGAR report concluded. “While both could manifest an influence at a later date, the housing market in the lower Hudson Valley currently remains strong.”

In its quarterly report, Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Rand Realty said if there is an impact of tax reform to be found, it’s on the higher end of the market in Westchester. Weaker demand for » » HOMEBUYER

Average sales prices down in Fairfield County housing market third-quarter sales price was $2.39 million, a drop from the $2.56 million price set in the second quarter and the $2.5 million price from one year earlier. The median sales price of $1.9 million was lower than the $1.99 million price in the previous quarter and the $1.95 million level one year earlier. Sales activity totaled 338 properties, higher than the 313 properties sold in the second quarter and slightly lower than the 341 properties sold in the third quarter of 2017.

Among the Fairfield County submarkets, Greenwich recorded the highest average sales price for a single-family home at $2.27 million, down from $2.46 million in the previous quarter and $2.67 million one year earlier. For the condo market, Darien had the highest average sales price at $804,500, down from the $1.5 million price in the second quarter and the third quarter of last year.

verage sales prices in Fairfield County’s single-family, condo and luxury housing markets during the third quarter saw declines on quarter-over-quarter measurements, according to data released by Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

The average sales price in Fairfield County during the third quarter was $659,259, down from $675,269 in the second quarter and unchanged from one year earlier.

However, the median sales price was $425,000, unchanged from the second quarter and up from $410,000 in the third quarter of 2017.

“It’s a buyer’s market,” said Scott Elwell, Douglas Elliman’s senior executive regional manager of Westchester and Connecticut. “The median price increased year-over-year for the sixth time in seven quarters.”

Elwell added that he expects to see an increase in completed residential property transactions during the fourth quarter, and he noted that the county is in a tight competition with Westchester for prospective buyers.

“We’re seeing more and more cross-border competition with the tax laws,” he said.

The number of closed sales for the third quarter totaled 3,339, up from 3,087 in the second quarter, but slightly lower than the 3,361 sales from the third quarter of 2017. The average number of days on market totaled 82 in the third quarter, down from 119 days in both the previous quarter and previous year.

Listing inventory in the third quarter totaled 5,535, which was lower than the 5,853 level of the previous quarter and the 5,611 level from one year earlier.

The average sales price for a single-family Fairfield County home in the third quarter was $763,162, a drop from the second quarter’s $765,537. The average during the third quarter of 2017 was $752,023.

The median single-family sales price in the third quarter was $500,000, an uptick from the $495,650 price in the second quarter and up from the $470,000 price from one year earlier. A total of 2,547 single-family homes were sold, up from 2,388 in the second quarter, but slightly lower than the 2,592 homes sold in the third quarter of last year.

The average sales price for condos in Fairfield County during the third quarter was $324,328, which marked a decline from the $366,883 sales price in the second quarter and the $346,365 price recorded one year ago. The median sales price of $275,000 was a drop from the $280,000 price in the second quarter, but was identical to the median sales price in the third quarter of 2017. There were 794 condos sold in the third quarter, compared with 699 condos in the preceding quarter and 769 one year earlier.

ASK ANDI | Andi Gray

Growing replacements IF SOMEONE ON THE MANAGEMENT TEAM WERE TO GET SICK, WE’D NEED A REPLACEMENT PLAN. WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Having people ready to step into another job reduces personnel crises. It’s easy to train one’s replacement.

Replacement training can be good for morale.

Be sure to explain to people why you’re asking them to train their replacements.

When the inevitable happens and someone can’t come to work, things can keep rolling along smoothly if someone else is prepared to step in and cover. When people leave the company, there’s no wasted time figuring out how to do what they did. People can rest easy knowing they can take vacation and come back to a workload that is properly managed in their absence.

Cross training gives people a chance to participate in mastery learning, gaining new skills at an individualized pace, which is the most effective form of training. It prevents having to throw people in over their heads in emergencies. It’s never good to have someone who is unprepared taking on tasks when the person who should be doing the task is not around to watch.

Starting at the top, ask every manager and employee to identify all the tasks they perform.

Then ask them to identify one or more persons to train for each task. In some cases, there may be multiple people performing specific tasks.

That’s great. Focus on the tasks that are performed by only one person.

Staffing up to do cross training requires that everyone has a little bit of slack time.

Focus on cross training projects during slow times of the year. Overstaffing by 10 percent to 20 percent gives everyone time to engage in training, and helps to reduce the need for overtime in busy periods.

Make it clear to everyone in the organization that learning to do additional tasks is an ideal way to get on track for a promotion in terms of both responsibility and income.

Let people know you’re watching carefully to see who steps up and takes it seriously when given the opportunity to learn to do more.

Factor into bonuses a calculation for people who keep adding skills to their toolkit. Build a roster of people trained to step up, so there’s no question who your go-to people are when there’s an opening.

Develop a qualification or testing process

getting boring and stale. Training programs demonstrate that your company is willing to invest in building on individual potential.

Make sure people understand that training their replacement(s) is good for them. Having a replacement means time off for vacation without worry. It means opportunity for promotion because there’s a replacement ready to step into their shoes. It means less worry about how to get work done in busy periods. And it demonstrates their skill as a trainer, leader and team player, all critical long-term employment skills. to determine who is ready to step up. Ask the person going through training to take notes, type them up and then hand those notes off to the next person to use to learn the task. Three rounds of using notes, making corrections and handing them off to the next trainee should get you a pretty well-proofed training manual. Do that for enough jobs and you have a procedure manual that is valuable to you, your current and future employees and any future owners.

Teaching people to do more things increases their visibility, promoteability and value.

Engaging people in learning keeps things from

Moody's shifts Westchester bond outlook to 'negative'

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

M

oody’s Investors Service has shifted the outlook on Westchester County bonds to “negative” in light of the "deterioration" of its financial position.

While Moody's affirmed Westchester's Aa1 bond rating, a step below the top Aaa rating, Moody's revised the outlook for the county from stable to negative on Oct. 18 to reflect what it described as "continued deterioration of (its) financial position resulting from large one-time expenses over the past two years.”

Despite the negative outlook, the report noted the county still has a large, diversified tax base in the wealthy suburbs of New York City. It also said the county's financial position

"is likely to improve in the near-term given strong financial management."

County Executive George Latimer called the negative outlook “certainly no surprise,” in a statement released following the ratings announcement.

“We have known for some time now that the county is in serious financial stress,” Latimer said. “We are taking steps every day to improve our footing, but the road ahead will be long.”

Earlier this month, the county’s Board of Legislators and Latimer reached a labor agreement with its largest union, the Civil Service Employees Association. The deal required the county to pay back more than $37 million in retroactive pay increases this year, though federal and state reimbursements are expected to reduce that

cost by $9.3 million.

Latimer noted that the Moody’s report found with all the union contracts settled (a deal was also reached this month with a union representing investigators in the district attorney’s office) and all retroactive payments due by Dec. 31, “reserves are expected to improve in the near-term given conservative budget management and revenue enhancements.”

The county’s outlook could be upgraded, Moody’s said, if it replenishes its reserve funds to historical levels and stabilizes its financial position in 2019.

“The county has tough times ahead, and we have to make hard decisions to right the ship,” Latimer said. He said he hopes to have the county reach triple-A bond rating status before he leaves office.

185 Sears, Kmart workers to lose jobs in lowerHudson region

Make the switch to First County Bank’s BusinessFirst Checking for easier and less costly business banking.

A

week after announcing that it would be filing for bankruptcy protection and closing 142 unprofitable Sears and Kmart stores, notices filed with the New York state Department of Labor show that 185 workers in the lower-Hudson Valley region would be losing their jobs.

According to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notifications, 42 employees of the Kmart on Route 6 in Mahopac would be let go; 55 employees at the Sears store in the Jefferson Valley Mall in Yorktown Heights would lose their jobs; 88 would be let go at the Sears at The Shops at Nanuet, including 12 at the store’s auto center on Route 59.

The last day of work would be Jan. 31, 2019, or over two weeks beginning on that date, according to the WARN filings.

In its filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York in White Plains on Oct. 15, Sears Holding Corp. said that it intends to reorganize around a smaller group of stores that have performed well.

The most current closings are in addition to the previously announced 46 stores that are expected to be shuttered in November.

Nationally, there are about 500 Sears stores and 360 Kmart stores.

Models sue Newburgh strip club over misuse of their images

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

E

ight professional models are suing a Newburgh strip club for allegedly using their images, without payment or permission, to promote the business.

The models sued Exotic Island Enterprises Inc., doing business as The Mansion Gentlemen’s Club & Steakhouse, and CEO Keith Slifstein, on Oct. 17 in federal court in White Plains.

The use of their images on The Mansion’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts makes it “appear that they worked at or endorsed The Mansion,” the complaint states.

Telephone and email messages to The Mansion requesting comment were not answered.

The women depict themselves as world-renowned professional models whose earnings potentials are dependent on goodwill and reputation. They claim that The Mansion took images from their own social media pages and altered them to make it appear as if they worked there as strippers or

endorsed the club.

Brooke Banx of Travis County, Texas, for instance, appeared on The Mansion’s Facebook page in January 2016. She was shown wearing a scanty Pittsburgh Steelers top, next to a post that says, “No sexier place to watch the Steelers vs.

Broncos!! #Mansion.”

Jaime Edmondson-Longoria, wife of San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria, and a former police officer, Miami Dolphins cheerleader and Playboy Playmate of the Month, was used in a similar post on the same day, wearing a Seattle Seahawks top.

The other models include: • Alana Campos, Los Angeles, who has been published in Playboy and appeared in campaigns for Arden B and Target; • Jessica Hinton, Los Angeles, who has appeared on "Baywatch" and hosted TV’s "Victory Poker"; • Ursula Mayes, Orange County, California, who was “suitcase model #5” on the game show "Deal or No Deal"; • Jaclyn Swedberg, San Bernardino County, California, who has worked on TV series

They claim that The Mansion took images from their own social media pages and altered them to make it appear as if they worked there as strippers or endorsed the club.

such as "Badass"; • Brooke Taylor-Johnson, Santa Barbara, California, who has appeared in Maxim magazine and on billboards for Fredrick’s of Hollywood and Coors Light; and • Tiffany Toth-Gray, Orange County, California, who has been featured in Maxim and Seventeen magazines.

Each claims that The Mansion created the false impression that they worked there as a stripper or endorsed the strip club.

That hurts their earnings potentials, according to the complaint, because companies and brands are less likely to hire models who work as professional strippers or promote strip clubs.

They accuse the defendants of false advertising and false endorsement for commercial purposes, under federal law, and violation of civil rights, deceptive trade practices and defamation, under New York law.

They are asking the court to order the defendants to stop using their images, and they are demanding damages to be determined at a trial.

The women are represented by John V. Golaszewski of Casas Law Firm in Manhattan.

Connecticut unemployment rate dips to 4.2 percent

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

C

onnecticut’s unemployment rate improved even after it lost 500 jobs in September, according to the state Department of Labor.

The DOL reported 3,300 nonfarm jobs gained in August, three times that initially reported, which pushed the unemployment rate down by one-tenth of a point to 4.2 percent.

“Despite the drop of 500 jobs in September, Connecticut’s labor market appears strong,” said DOL Office of Research Director Andy Condon, noting that the state has added nearly 20,000 positions so far this year. “Only the

demonstrates that we are sustaining important momentum in our long-term effort to increase employment in Connecticut,” Gov. Dannel Malloy said.

“While it’s easy to get distracted by shortterm gains and losses, doing so risks missing the important bigger picture. When we lose sight of the significant progress made in our recovery, people become susceptible to false narratives. The reality is that businesses and

people are not leaving the state in droves.

They’re deciding to set down roots and call Connecticut home because they understand that this is a great place to work, live, grow a business and raise a family.”

Connecticut Business and Industry Association Economic Adviser Pete Gioia noted that the 4.2 percent unemployment rate is still the highest in the region, “so we have a mixed picture because despite growth, we see

continued volatility in job numbers and a real need for stability.”

Gioia noted strong monthly gains in the construction, manufacturing and financial activities sectors. “For the first time this year, financial activities is in the black and that’s important,” he said. “We won’t gain our full economic strength until we have our two powerhouses, financial activities and manufacturing, really going strong.”

trade, information and government super-sectors show annual job losses.”

According to the labor department, the state has recovered 107,100 of the 119,100 jobs, or 89.9 percent, lost in the last recession, which ran from March 2008 through February 2010. The private sector is at 113.9 percent of where it stood before the recession.

We have used bigger banks in the past, but they just didn’t provide the products and personal attention we needed to grow and thrive in today’s housing market. PCSB Bank took the time to understand and know our business, and they will do the same for you.”

Access Health CT underscoring insurance plan changes through mail campaign

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

I

n order to draw customers’ attention to various health insurance options, Access Health CT is sending out renewal notices in yellow envelopes. The agency said that the numerous plan changes made this year will make it even more important for people to read the notice, and shop and compare plans starting on Nov. 1.

“We want people to know that they have options and some plans may be a better fit for different needs and budgets,” said AHCT CEO James Michel. “This year, more

than ever, it pays to shop and compare. You may find cost savings or lower monthly payments with a different plan.”

The executive added that consumers should keep in mind how much they use medical services and prescriptions and the doctors they want included in their plan network.

“It’s not just about the monthly payment or premium.” Michel said. “The out-of-pocket costs are part of the total picture.”

People who receive a notice saying they are eligible to be automatically enrolled for 2019 still have choices and can pick a different plan, said Access Health CT Director of Marketing Andrea Ravitz.

James Michel

“Customers could pay more in 2019 for a couple of reasons,” she said. “In 2018, they may have chosen a plan that was the lowest one in a metal tier — bronze, silver or gold. In 2019, this plan may no longer be the lowest-cost plan in this tier, and as a result, the monthly payment could be higher. Or, if they had changes in their family, where they live, their age or income.”

Residents could also get a notice saying they are not eligible to be automatically enrolled, in which case they need to take action and pick a plan during open enrollment, between Nov. 1 and Dec. 15, in order to have coverage for 2019.

Homebuyer—

high-priced homes could be, the report said, “increasing the percentage of lower-priced homes in the mix of properties sold and thereby suppressing price appreciation.

“That would explain why, for example, average prices are increasing dramatically in the lower-priced condo (up over 5 percent) and co-op (up almost 4 percent) markets, as well as the more affordable neighboring counties.”

Houlihan Lawrence's luxury market report found home sales of $2 million and above are down about 2 percent year over year.

HGAR reported sale price growth in Westchester’s neighboring Hudson Valley counties. The median sale price for a single-family home in Rockland County reached $475,000, up 6.7 percent from last year. In Putnam, the $360,000 median sale price was up 5.9 percent, and in Orange County the median sale price of $275,000 for a single-family home was up 7.8 percent from a year prior.

The standout market for Westchester may be small multifamily buildings, according to numbers reported in the Elliman Report, a quarterly market analysis from Douglas Elliman Real Estate.

Elliman reported 160 separate sales transactions for two- to four-family homes from July to September, up about 28 percent from the same time last year, and 18 percent from last quarter. The median sales price for the small multifamily properties climbed 12 percent from this point last year to $525,000.

Nino Gjeloshaj, a real estate agent with Douglas Elliman, said demand remains strong for rental properties, attracting investors.

“The people that are looking to buy, they don’t just buy because they like the area and have done research, they actually live in the area for a year or so, then look to purchase,” Gjeloshaj said. “That drives the rental market, and the rental market increases the value of those properties.”

outsmart digital threats As social media, mobile devices and wireless networks become increasingly integral to doing business, companies in Westchester need to keep a step ahead with strategies designed to help them avoid fraud in a digital world.

Michael Cappelli Market Executive Bank of America Merrill Lynch michael.cappelli@baml.com

SECURING SOCIAL MEDIA

IMPROVING CYBERSECURITY

Social engineering via phishing (email), vishing (phone) and smishing (SMS messaging) is well established, but social media threats are rapidly evolving. As well as bogus links, hackers create profiles that pretend to be someone you want to connect with, gathering information to create better scams. Protect your business by being careful who you interact with and what you post, especially if you’re high ranking or have a specialized role.

Attackers can easily penetrate outdated defenses, making building and maintaining secure systems essential. Many organizations follow recognized frameworks and standards, such as the Cybersecurity Framework developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), to guide their programs. It sets out five key areas of consideration, providing an excellent roadmap for keeping your business safe.

SAFEGUARDING MOBILE AND WIRELESS DEVICES As more business gets done on the go, it’s critical to keep mobile and wireless channels safe from fraud attacks. Rather than connecting remotely via public WIFI, use a company-provided virtual private network, or VPN, that protects your information. To prevent juice jacking, which occurs when an attacker infects a public USB outlet or plug with malicious software, take your own battery charger for your devices.

Hudson Link buses ready to go, schedule set for new Rockland-Westchester service

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

G

ov. Andrew M. Cuomo says 31 new Hudson Link buses are ready to start crossing the bridge named for his father.

The Hudson Link bus service that will connect Rockland and Westchester counties is set to launch Oct. 29, the governor announced. Hudson Link will replace the Tappan Zee Express bus service.

The new 45-foot-long buses, equipped with free wireless network service, USB charging stations and bike racks, are expected to cross the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge more than 230 times per day. The state expects annual ridership between the two counties

to exceed 400,000.

Cuomo first announced the launch date for the service at a ceremony that celebrated the opening of the second span of the bridge on Sept. 4. The governor's most recent announcement included the initial sched-

ule for the bus routes.

Hudson Link will run four daily routes. The lines run between Suffern and Palisades Center in West Nyack; between Monsey in Rockland County and White Plains; between the Palisades Center and

White Plains; and between Palisades Center and Tarrytown.

All but one of the routes will run between 4 a.m. and midnight each day. That exception, the route between Suffern and Palisades Center, runs during peak commuting hours in the morning and evening Mondays through Fridays.

The new service will offer multiple payment options, including cash, credit and a new mobile application.

The new service is run

by Transdev, a French international private-public transport operator. The buses were built by Prevost, a Canadian company with a manufacturing plant in Plattsburgh in northern New York.

More information on the service and schedules is available at ridehudsonlink.com.

New York State Issues Final Guidance on Sexual Harassment Law

O

n October 1, 2018, New York State issued its finalized materials and guidance in support of New York’s new sexual harassment prevention laws. Enacted on April 12, 2018, the new laws contain multiple facets aimed at combatting sexual harassment in the workplace.

Highlights of the most significant changes in the finalized materials include: • Initial training for all employees must be accomplished by October 9, 2019.

• In subsequent years, annual training can be calendar based, or based on an employee’s anniversary date, or any other date the employer chooses.

• Training for new hires must be conducted “as soon as possible”, rather than within thirty (30) days of hire as proposed in the draft materials

provided by NYS. • Training must be interactive and must be provided to employees in the language spoken by employees, New York’s model training will initially be available in eight (8) languages other than English.

• Employees who work in other states but work a portion of the time in New York State, must be trained.

• Part-time, seasonal and temporary workers must all be trained.

• Employers do not have to train third-party vendors or other “non-employees” who interact onetime or regularly in an office located in New York State.

• The NYS model policy now indicates that workplace investigations into sexual harassment should be completed “as soon as possible” rather than

the thirty (30) day requirement in the draft materials.

• All employers must adopt and provide a sexual harassment prevention policy to all employees. This should have been completed by October 9, 2018.

New York State has an Employer Toolkit which provides employers step-by-step guidance on implementing the required training and sexual harassment prevention policy, directing you to resources available through NYS and the relevant state agencies.

These resources are all available on the State’s Combatting Sexual Harassment in the Workplace website: w w w. n y. g o v/p r o g r a m s /c o m b a tting-sexual-harassment-workplace.

Yonkers Radiation sues Northern Westchester Hospital for quashing contract

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Yonkers oncology practice claims that Northern Westchester Hospital Association has refused to approve several candidates for a key position as a way to get out of a contract for services.

Yonkers Radiation Medical Practice PC sued the Mount Kisco hospital and its parent company, Northwell Health Inc. of Great Neck, on Oct. 8 in Westchester Supreme Court for an amount to be determined at trial.

“This case is simple,” the complaint states. The hospital manufactured a breach of contract to deprive Yonkers of “profits to be earned over the three years remaining under the agreement.”

“Northern Westchester Hospital does not comment on ongoing litigation,” director of marketing and public affairs Gretchen Mullin said in an email, “except to say that the hospital acted properly under its contract with the Yonkers Radiation Oncology practice and will defend the lawsuit in court.”

The dispute began after Yonkers’ chief of section for radiation oncology unexpectedly gave notice in May that he would be leaving in 90 days. The contract required Yonkers to name a new chief, subject to the hospital’s approval.

Yonkers said it immediately began looking for a replacement. It interviewed more than a dozen physicians and sent seven to the hospital for screening. Two were inter-

Yonkers presented two more candidates in August, but the hospital notified the medical practice that it was in default for failure to appoint a replacement chief of section. Yonkers was given 30 days to cure the default.

Northern Westchester twice interviewed one of Yonkers’ proposed replacements, but did not approve the physician. On Oct. 1, the hospital terminated the agreement.

Northern Westchester “capriciously refused to approve any of the well-qualified candidates” presented for permanent chief of section, Yonkers claims.

It is accusing Northern Westchester and Northwell of breach of contract and breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealings. It is demanding unspecified damages.

viewed by hospital personnel in July, according to the complaint, but the hospital stated, “that it did not want to move forward with them.”

Yonkers then began looking for a temporary replacement, pending a permanent

hire. Short-term positions are common in the medical profession and are permitted under the contract, the complaint states, but the hospital maintained that temporary independent contractors are not permitted.

.

Mullin said senior Northwell physicians are providing radiation oncology services at Northern Westchester Hospital, “along with a full staff, caring for patients with many of the most advanced radiation oncology treatments available.”

Yonkers Radiation is an affiliate of 21st Century Oncology Holdings, a Fort Myers, Florida, company that filed a $1 billion Chapter 11 bankruptcy case last year in White Plains.

Yonkers was not one of the 60 affiliates that filed for reorganization, but New York Radiation Therapy Management Services LLC, based at the same address in Yonkers, did file.

Bankruptcy Judge Robert D. Drain in White Plains approved the reorganization plan on Jan. 11.

ark Lamos is in his ninth year as artistic director of the Westport Country Playhouse, and he is coming off one of his most well-received productions: a spirited revival of the Broadway musical classic “Man of La Mancha.”

“The audience reaction was overwhelming,” he said.

“In the nine years that I’ve been here, this is the most extraordinary audience reaction I’ve witnessed. I just can’t get over it. The end of the first act, they started cheering. And the same thing happened at the end of the play. The audience starts to cheer before the lights go out. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life.”

However, Lamos is not following up his “Man of La Mancha” success with another beloved musical, but with a world premiere of a drama that plumbs one of the most troubling issues to plague modern society: the proliferation of school shootings.

But in presenting Matthew Greene’s “Thousand Pines,” Lamos stated he was “very concerned” that some people might turn away from the production under the belief that it would be a diatribe on the contentious gun control issue.

“It isn’t about gun control,” Lamos said. “It is about people who are dealing with the aftermath of loss and continuing emotional emptiness.

And it’s about American families, to a certain extent, and the inability of one generation to understand another.”

Sharing Lamos’ concern is the play’s director, Tonynominated Broadway veteran Austin Pendleton, who is returning to the Westport Country Playhouse for the first time since directing E.G. Marshall in the 1992 comedy “Park Your Car in Harvard Yard.”

“This play is not addressing the gun control issue,” Pendleton said. “The issue is

so urgent that we did not want to put on a preachy play. If you want to make a political statement, you should write an editorial.”

Pendleton became aware of “Thousand Pines” two years ago. “My agent read it and said, ‘You really should read this,’ ” he continued. “I read it and I was very impressed.”

Lamos became intrigued with the commercial potential of “Thousand Pines” last year when it was presented as a reading within the theater's New Works Circle Initiative, a program focused on developing new theatrical works.

Greene’s work takes place in the homes of three suburban families on a Thanksgiving Day in the months following a deadly school shooting at a junior high school. The play considers how each family approaches grief, healing and forgiveness during a holiday where the traditional emphasis on family togetherness is replaced with the raw dimensions of emotional catharsis.

“It’s a very powerful experience to hear the play read,” Lamos said. “We just believed in it right from the get-go.”

For playwright Greene, having his work's premiere at the Westport Country Playhouse rather than a New York City venue made perfect sense. “The community around Westport was deeply affected by the Sandy Hook shooting,” he said. “That was probably the biggest influence on me for writing the play.

There’s something that feels correct about doing it there.”

"Thousand Pines" will open on Oct. 30 and run through Nov. 17. Lamos noted that advance ticket sales for

the production were “fine,” adding that it was “tracking as a new play that no one’s ever heard of. The people who are core theatergoers and core ticket buyers are interested.

The advance is not enormous, like ‘Man of La Mancha,” but it’s decent.”

To engage a further depth of community awareness for the production during its run, the Westport Country Playhouse received a $20,000 grant from Connecticut Humanities to coordinate a series of events at its Lucille Lortel White Barn Center to encourage further conversation on the issues raised in the play. Guest speakers at these events will include Greene along with Linda Rost, trauma expert and co-coordinator of the Fairfield County Trauma Recovery Network, and Sujata Gadkar-Wilcox, associate professor of legal studies at Quinnipiac University.

After “Thousand Pines,” the theater is presenting Grammy-nominated pianist and storyteller Mona Golabek’s production of “The Pianist of Willesden Lane,” based on her mother’s escape from Nazi-controlled Vienna in 1938. For Lamos, the programming mix from an old-school Broadway favorite to a hot-button contemporary drama to a music-infused meditation on the events leading up to the Holocaust reflects his mission on bringing the full theatrical spectrum to Fairfield County.

“My main mantra is: if I lived in Fairfield County and didn’t have the chance to see any other theater for a year, what would be the richest variety of things I can go to?” he explained. “A musical, a drama, something that is relevant to the moment, something that is sheer entertainment, maybe a classic like Moliere or Shakespeare.

Then, really it comes down to very personal response and excitement level of certain projects, or which I expect will give a lot of entertainment value or thought value to the people who see it.”

Public input absent as WestCOG works on transportation plan

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

D

etermining the future shape of Connecticut’s transportation systems is a top priority for the Western Connecticut Council of Governments.

“This is a long-range planning process,” said WestCOG Executive Director Francis Pickering, “and it can sometimes be difficult to get people to come out to discuss projects that can be 30 years down the road.”

WestCOG — which consists of more than a dozen municipalities in the region, including Bethel, Brookfield, Danbury, Darien, Greenwich, New Canaan, New Fairfield, Newtown, Norwalk, Redding, Ridgefield, Sherman, Stamford, Weston, Westport and Wilton — is, like all metropolitan planning organizations, required by federal law to prepare a long-range transportation plan (LRTP) every four years as a prerequisite for federal transportation funding.

But, Pickering noted, that plan is also required to identify both short- and long-term investments that can enhance the transportation system. Those strategies are required to be “fiscally constrained” and scheduled to be phased in over the following 25 years.

While trying to envision what transportation might look like circa 2048 may be a tall order — after all, in 1988 there were no ridesharing services, much less cell phones and apps — collecting data on where it could stand four years hence should be relatively easy.

But Pickering said WestCOG has always relied heavily on public input for the development of its LRTPs. As a result, it has scheduled public meetings in each of the 18 municipalities it serves, the most recent being in Stamford, Greenwich, Newtown, Redding

Francis Pickering

and Bethel.

Total attendance, Pickering said: Zero.

WestCOG is also soliciting comments online, through social media posts and via its mailing list. “It’s a broad-based strategy to engage the members of the public who are interested in participating,” Pickering said.

Absent a draft plan, some residents may feel the topic is too ephemeral to comment on. That, Pickering said, would be a mistake.

“We want to take a different approach before we start writing it, to give the public the opportunity to help guide the development of the plan before it is written,” he said. “This is designed to be a much more open process than has perhaps been the case in the past. We want to give the public the opportunity to get in on the ground floor, instead of being presented with something that’s basically a fait accompli.”

With or without public involvement, Pickering said WestCOG expects to begin compiling the LRTP during late winter/early spring, with a draft version completed in March. A 45-day comment period will further allow for public input, with a final draft to be completed by late spring.

Once that draft is approved by the municipalities, the LRTP will be sent for final approval to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Pickering noted that the LRTP is designed to deal with

issues affecting major roadways, trains, bicyclists and pedestrians. “If someone’s looking to add a traffic light at a specific intersection, that’s not what this is for,” he said.

The state’s infamous highway congestion will be addressed, he said, as will ways of improving mobility and the safety of cyclists and pedestrians.

“I can’t speak to specific plans,” Pickering said. “But the congestion issues on I-95, I-84, the Merritt, Route 1 and Route 7 — those will probably be in there. And we will supply various solutions to address those problems.

Would it take adding one lane, or two, in each direction on those roads?

“We’re also looking at bus service, both locally and on an intracity basis like what you have with Peter Pan and Greyhound,” he continued. “Rail service on Amtrak, Acela and MetroNorth, freight transportation when it comes to delivery trucks, semis and the railroads — basically everything except air and ship.”

Should an issue somehow fall through the cracks and not be included in the LRTP, Pickering noted that amendments can be made, though whether the federal government will come through with the necessary funding for such additions remains an open question.

He further said that trying to predict the future of transportation is always difficult. “We keep hearing about autonomous vehicles, self-driving cars,” Pickering said. “Will they be a significant presence in 30 years?

Most likely, yes, but how?

“How people travel is driven by many factors,” he continued. “As technology matures, patterns change. We could end up in the future where everyone does nearly everything from home, which could mean they never leave home, or they go out more because they have more free time.”

Obex Group of Larchmont fails to produce documents in $550M fraud case

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

R

andall Katzenstein was supposed to bring documents to an Oct. 15 arbitration hearing, in a $550 million fraud case, but failed to show up.

His company, Obex Group LLC of Larchmont, is in the middle of a dispute that traces back to the $1 billion Platinum Partners hedge fund scandal. Washington National Insurance Co. of Carmel, Indiana, petitioned U.S. District Court in White Plains to compel Katzenstein and Obex Group to comply with summonses in the arbitration case.

Katzenstein did not respond to an email request for comment. He has objected to the

summonses as burdensome, according to Washington National’s petition.

Katzenstein, of New Rochelle, founded Obex Group in 2001 to serve institutional and high-net-worth individuals. He also has interests in a Romanian stock brokerage company and a Taiwan internet hardware trading firm, according to his Obex Group profile. He is a founding member of the International Association of Financial Engineers, a co-founder of a business school in Istanbul and is an active member of the American-Turkish Council.

The underlying dispute goes back to a 2016 lawsuit. Bankers Conseco Life Insurance Co., an affiliate of Washington National, sued Beechwood Capital Group for fraud and racketeering. Bankers Conseco Life Insurance had assigned $550 million in assets to Beechwood Re, a reinsurance

company, in 2014 to invest and manage.

Bankers Conseco claims that Beechwood Re and its principals misrepresented its financial situation and corporate structure, according to a court order in that case, and used the assets for personal enrichment.

Beechwood Re principals Moshe M. Feuer and Scott Taylor allegedly represented that Beechwood Re had at least $100 million in assets when it had virtually no capital.

The Bankers Conseco lawsuit also alleges that Feuer and Taylor represented that they controlled Beechwood Re when the assets were actually being used by Platinum Partners.

The lawsuit was moved to arbitration in March.

Washington National claims that Platinum Partners retained Obex to secure brokerage services for Beechwood Re. The insurance com-

pany wants Obex’s records, in part, because of an email it obtained from another financial services firm in which Katzenstein allegedly “exposed the co-conspirators scheme.”

“It is important to note that the trusts will be managed by Platinum related persons,” Katzenstein wrote in the 2013 email, “but not have any legal relationship to the various Platinum funds.”

He also proposed setting up a meeting with Platinum Partners' founder, Mark Nordlicht, also of New Rochelle, who “is the one who is recommending this happen.”

Katzenstein and Obex have produced some records in the arbitration case, according to the petition, but failed to produce crucial documents by refusing to search for records “using any term such as Platinum.”

On Aug. 24, the American Arbitration Association issued summonses to Katzenstein and Obex, for all documents and communications concerning Beechwood Re and its affiliates and Platinum Partners LP and its affiliates, from 2013 through 2016. The summonses single out 29 individuals associated with Beechwood Re and Platinum Partners.

Katzenstein and Obex objected, the petition states, because using the search term “Platinum” “would yield too many hits.” But they have allegedly rejected proposals to narrow the time frame of the request or outsource the work to a vendor at no cost to them.

Washington National says it needs the documents for a hearing on March 11, 2019.

Platinum Partners and its principals have been enmeshed in several criminal and civil proceedings. The hedge fund had stood out for years for its double-digit investment returns. But two years ago, the U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn charged seven associates of the firm with securities fraud in an alleged $1 billion Ponzi-like scheme.

The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a parallel civil case.

The alleged fraud was said to be the biggest such scheme since the Bernie Madoff fraud in 2008.

Platinum Partners was accused of persuading prominent families and institutions in the Orthodox Jewish community to invest in risky bets on an oil company, payday lenders and insurance payouts on terminally ill patients.

They were accused of inflating asset values and illicitly moving investors’ funds to cover losses and liquidity problems. The hedge fund fell short of funds when clients tried to redeem their investments.

One scheme to find cash involved the New York City Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association. Norman Seabrook, the powerful head of the union, invested $20 million in members’ retirement money with Platinum Partners, in exchange for a $60,000 bribe. A federal jury found him guilty in August of accepting a bribe and conspiracy to take a bribe.

Nordlicht’s trial date has been set for Jan. 7.

SPECIAL REPORT | Investment Strategies

Stocks and the midterm elections

BY ERIC JOHNSON

E

quity markets are generally not influenced by a single factor. It is usually a multitude of factors impacting prices at any given time such as: • Positive earnings may serve as tailwinds breathing positive momentum into stocks.

• Tariffs could do the opposite and serve as headwinds.

• Leading economic indicators may boost investor sentiment and the relative attractiveness of stocks.

• High valuations could discourage some investors from buying.

At any given time, the confluence of these factors determines the direction of stock prices.

One factor that gets little attention is midterm elections. In managing our clients’ financial plans and portfolios, as a firm we remain politically agnostic, favoring no party over the other. Our focus is on policy, economic

indicators and interest rates and how these items may affect corporate profits and economic growth.

Historically, stocks have tended to get volatile in midterm election years, as the balance of power in Washington undergoes a political shift.

The table on this page lists the S&P 500 corrections during years of midterm elections and then what the market did in the 12 months following the correction.

Since 1962, the average price upswing for stocks following a midterm correction was a solid 31 percent. The table also shows that in the last four midterm election years, stocks have rebounded considerably following the downside volatility incurred during the midterm election year.

Since 1962, the average monthly return of the S&P 500 in midterm election years from April to September has been negative. Midterm election years can mean a shift in the balance of power in Congress, increasing the possibility of change in policy and legisla-

tion, and equity markets do not like policy uncertainty.

However, once midterm elections happen and the markets know how the table is set, the uncertainty fades and businesses have a better idea of what to expect from Congress in the coming two years. The fact is

that since 1946, the S&P 500 has not declined in the 12 months following a midterm election. The average price return in the 12-month period following a midterm election from 1950 to 2014 is plus-15.3 percent.

We do not know what will occur from now to Dec. 31

except we are prepared for a noisy and ugly fight in this midterm election cycle, which will add to the market’s volatility. However, equity markets are not influenced by one factor alone. The mudslinging in the midterm elections may create some headwinds for equity markets in

2018. However, beyond 2018, the continued positive news surrounding earnings, jobs, income and spending may help support the longer-term upward trend.

History has also shown that corrections in the midterm election year are often followed by solid positive returns in the following year.

There is no doubt about it that politics these days can stress the markets.

Commercial construction loans are inherently risky

BY ROBERT WITHERS

T

oo often, developers can’t secure permanent financing upon a project’s completion.

If it’s a condominium project, will the condo project sell out? Then, there is the construction gamble, as cost overruns, accidents, delays and other problems tend to occur on every job. Imagine, for example, a crane falling or dropping an expensive beam. Further, good labor is harder to find these days, and I predict that you’ll see more labor slowdowns as workers demand higher pay.

And that’s just scratching the surface. Politics play a

huge part in the construction universe. A government employee might put a last-minute kibosh on your project. Perhaps the city council increases the parking requirement at the last moment. Then, there’s the marketing risk. Are the condos you are building actually going to sell at their projected sales prices? Will your new office space lease at your pro-forma rents?

Let's face it, a million things can, and do, go wrong on commercial construction projects. As a result, banks are demanding tremendous equity in their construction deals. During the go-go days before the dotcom

meltdown, banks routinely made commercial construction loans of 90 percent loan-to-cost. Many people got slaughtered when commercial real estate collapsed by 45 percent after the dotcom stocks crashed.

Commercial construction loans are almost always made by commercial banks.

The rare exception? Life insurance companies occasionally make construction loans on such properties as office towers or shopping centers. In general, commercial banks make commercial construction loans because construction loan terms are short, typically 12 to 18 months, and the bank earns

its fees and points upfront.

Eight years after the dotcom crash, the commercial real estate market recovered, and banks were making commercial construction loans of 80 percent loan-tocost. The subprime mortgage crisis then struck and banks once again took a beating in commercial construction lending. In the wake of the Great Recession, bank regulators clamped down on commercial construction lending. Loan-to-cost ratios in excess of 70 percent were strongly discouraged.

The good news is that a few banks are once again making construction loans of 75 percent to 80 per-

cent loan-to-cost. This still requires that the developer contribute 20 percent to 25 percent of the total cost of the project. Under the JOBS Act, it is easier to raise equity dollars these days.

Private equity real estate financing is playing a larger role in financing these projects. From the smaller builder to larger national developers, these entrepreneurs are depending more on alternative lending sources to “put the shovel in the dirt” for their projects. These lending sources rely less on the bureaucracy-laden models of larger, commercial lending entities and operate

FCBJ

with a more entrepreneurial, real estate-centric philosophy to achieve funding for these types of deals.

I see the role of these lenders growing over the next few years as commercial banks and insurance companies cut their exposure to commercial and investment construction loans.

The Right Time to Begin Managing an Aging Parent’s Finances

By Bernard A. Krooks, Certified Elder Law Attorney

I

t’s difficult for children to know when to step in and assist aging parents with their financial affairs. Conversations about money are uncomfortable and aging parents may become defensive, suspicious or confused. It is easy to see why we resist having these conversations.

Unfortunately, as parents age, they may lose the capacity to manage their financial affairs. Cognitive decline, abetted by isolation, is a powerful force that makes aging parents easy targets for scam artists, misleading advertising and offers for highpriced, unnecessary goods and services.

PLANNING, PREPARATION ARE KEYS TO SUCCESS Family members should raise the topic of financial management for their aging parents well before they become incapacitated. Dealing with financial issues before the onset of cognitive decline allows aging parents to be fully involved in the management of their estate.

Early and full involvement by aging parents not only preserves their dignity and right to self-determination, it allows family members to have the benefit of parents’ intimate knowledge of their own financial affairs.

This is a good time for aging parents to express their desires through binding legal instruments. A durable power of attorney or a trust can give the aging parent continued control over their financial affairs while also empowering a family member to step in and help when needed.

In a best-case scenario, trust documents will designate a successor trustee who can take over financial matters when the need arises. The trust should specify the conditions that trigger a trustee takeover, and perhaps give the successor trustee guidance regarding the aging parent’s preferences and priorities.

If a durable power of attorney is not in place, then family members may have to go to court to obtain guardianship over the parent. Not only is this a cumbersome process, but it also can result in a loss of privacy for the aging parent, whose condition is now recorded in court records.

Early intervention gives family members the opportunity to acquire a thorough understanding of the aging parent’s financial affairs. What are the aging par-

ent’s financial institutions and account numbers? What sources of income does the parent have? What recurring bills must be paid? Does the parent have private health insurance in addition to Medicare? Does the parent have an attorney or financial planner? Where are the parent’s important financial and estate planning documents kept?

Having this information readily available will help the family act quickly and decisively should the need arise.

If an aging parent is not initially willing to execute a power of attorney or create a trust, family members should not be reluctant to raise the subject again. Aging parents should know that, when the time comes that they do need help, family members are available to provide it.

INTERVENTION WHEN WARNING SIGNS APPEAR As parents age, family members should be alert for signs of incapacity or financial abuse. A deterioration of the aging parent’s ability to manage everyday life activities could be an indication that they are struggling with financial matters as well. And signs of financial exploitation or abuse are direct indications that intervention is needed.

Seniors often resist doctor visits for the express purpose of being evaluated for incapacity. Short of a doctor visit, however, aging parents may display clues that they are struggling and need assistance: • Their residence is messier than usual.

• They have difficulty feeding themselves.

• They refuse to shower or bathe.

• They wear the same clothes for several days.

• They struggle or seem confused in the kitchen.

• They have difficulty driving their car.

• They are uncharacteristically forgetful.

• They exhibit an unusual number of bruises or scrapes.

If an aging parent exhibits any of these warning signs, it could be an indication that they are struggling with financial matters as well. Children and caregivers should take the opportunity, while addressing the parent’s non-financial chal-

• The appearance of a new caregiver in the aging parent’s home.

FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION OR ABUSE Elder financial abuse is significantly underreported, with one estimate suggesting that just one case in 44 is reported.

According to another survey, 72 percent of elder caregivers cited embarrassment as the main reason why financial abuse is not reported.

Family members and caregivers should be prepared to step in if they observe signs that an aging parent is being financially exploited. The following are common signs that an aging parent might be a victim of elder financial abuse: • Missing money or personal property.

• Sudden, unexplained bank withdrawals or wire transfers.

• Unpaid bills for food, medicine or utilities.

• Missing bank statements, or unfamiliar names on bank and retirement accounts.

• Large amounts of unopened mail.

• Changes in beneficiaries on a will, retirement funds or other accounts.

The presence of any of these signs should prompt family members to investigate and offer assistance, if needed. If multiple trouble signs are present, more aggressive action may be necessary to acquire control over the aging parent’s financial affairs.

Family and caregivers who lack legal authority to intervene when warning signs arise have a challenging task ahead.

At least one family member will need to move quickly to acquire the legal authority to act on their parent’s behalf—either through a power of attorney or as a court-appointed guardian. Legal authority in hand, the new financial caregiver will be able to effectively step into the aging parent’s shoes and begin to restore financial order.

This topic is so complex that at a recent meeting of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC), there were several sessions addressing these issues.

ACTEC is a national organization of lawyers elected to membership by demonstrating the highest level of integrity, commitment to the profession, competence, and experience as trust and estate counselors. According to the ACTEC website (www.actec.org), ACTEC members are the best and brightest in the trust and estate practice, with decades of experience representing and advising families. The fact that ACTEC and its members are spending so much time on this issue, shows how important it is to take action. The assistance of an experienced attorney is invaluable in this process. Legal counsel can draft all necessary documents, provide advice on strategies for dealing with financial institutions and creditors, and make the task of financial caregiving as efficient and manageable as possible.

Mortgage strategies for luxury home buyers in today’s competitive real estate market

Buying a home is a personal experience, one that can have a long-lasting financial impact. There are a number of considerations that go into purchasing a home—the neighborhood, school district, close proximity to commuter transportation or how long you plan on staying in the home.

Just as you make investment decisions based on an understanding of the benefits and long-term risks, it is important to treat mortgage decisions the same way. “If you make mortgage decisions without fully considering your financial and life goals, including your assets and your liabilities, you may be limiting your options,” says Paula Steinberg, Managing Director, and member of the LSSW Group at J.P. Morgan Securities.

Ms. Steinberg and her fellow LSSW partners, Leslie Schwartz, Eden Lopez and Liz Weikes, have been advising individuals, family offices, fund managers, endowments and foundations for 30 years. Backed by one of the world’s leading financial institutions, the LSSW Group partners with J.P. Morgan’s mortgage advisory team, which is comprised of tenured industry professionals who are deeply familiar with the complex balance sheets and non-standard income flows of wealthy individuals.

“As the mortgage landscape continues to evolve, many buyers are looking for financing options beyond traditional mortgages,” said George Epstein, Head of J.P. Morgan Securities Banking and Lending. “It is not a one-size-fits-all model.

We look across a borrower’s entire balance sheet to optimize and structure debt. J.P. Morgan is one of the largest and most respected jumbo mortgage lenders and provides innovative financing strategies designed to fit a client’s personal circumstances.”

Whether you’re a novice or you’re experienced in the home buying market, here are some things to think about as you move forward in the process.

Be ready when the right home comes along

In today’s competitive market, buyers often need to move quickly to have their bid accepted. Having a fully underwritten credit approval pending identification and completion of an appraisal can distinguish buyers and help determine just how much they can afford.1 J.P. Morgan offers a fully underwritten conditional approval, something that goes above industry standards and is not typically offered by all lenders. This type of preapproval can help expedite the closing process, because the majority of documentation and loan qualification review is completed upfront. Once the client finds a home, usually just an appraisal is needed to complete the final loan approval.

Consider a cash purchase with the option to refinance at a later date

“Some of our clients have bought homes for cash, using a securities-based line of credit, and then refinanced within 90 days of the purchase,” said Mr. Epstein. Working with J.P. Morgan, the homeowners were able to “refinance the home, pay off the credit line and lock in long-term mortgage financing at a competitive rate,” he added.

A line of credit may also be useful to fund construction and renovation projects. If you choose to refinance your property post-construction, you can start the mortgage process during the construction to lock in a rate for up to 18 months. This option offers protection against any rate increase, and your mortgage will be underwritten based on the new appraised value of your home post-construction.

Structure your borrowing for tax efficiency

With the current mortgage interest deductibility capped at interest on a maximum of $750,000 of home acquisition debt, many homebuyers in the “million plus” market are looking for other tax-efficient strategies. J.P. Morgan has worked with some clients to employ a tax-aware borrowing strategy: If the proceeds from a cash-out mortgage are invested in certain taxable securities, the interest on the entire mortgage may be deductible as an investment interest deduction. Using this strategy, the homeowner should be able to deduct all of the interest on the mortgage.2

Consider a Pledged Asset Mortgage

”One mortgage strategy that many clients have taken advantage of is the J.P. Morgan Pledged Asset Mortgage, which allows you to consider your investment strategy and your

tax situation, while refinancing or funding your real estate,” said Dan Alter, Head of J.P. Morgan Securities Mortgage Advisory Team. The J.P. Morgan Pledged Asset Mortgage allows buyers to pledge assets in their J.P. Morgan portfolio in lieu of a cash down payment. With the securities and home as collateral, borrowers may qualify for up to 100% financing.

Assets can also be pledged on behalf of a qualified family member (parent, spouse or child) who seeks residential real estate, without having to co-sign a loan.

“We’re seeing a number of clients take advantage of the Pledged Asset Mortgage as part of their estate planning strategy,” says Liz Weikes. This strategy helps to maximize loan-to-value requirements and stay invested in the market.

Title and structure your real estate purchase for maximum benefit

Whether you’re buying a primary residence, vacation or investment property, how you choose to title and structure the purchase can be as meaningful as the home’s location.

There may be compelling reasons, beyond the privacy and liability protection benefits, to form a legal entity, such as a revocable trust or limited liability company (LLC), to own the property.

“One of the advantages of working with J.P. Morgan is the access our clients have to our Wealth Management partners. They’re really an extension of our team,” said LSSW’s Leslie Schwartz. “They’re former tax and estate attorneys, and they’re always ready to meet with my clients and me to discuss how best to structure assets in light of a client’s estate and financial objectives.”

Goals-Based Wealth Management: Planning for the Life You Want to Live

Y

ou have unique goals, and your wealth management strategy should be designed to reflect the specific aspirations you have for yourself and your family. It should also go beyond just creating a portfolio to help you plan for retirement and other life priorities, such as saving for your child’s education or leaving a meaningful legacy.

The Evolution of Wealth Management

Over the past 30 years, the wealth management industry has evolved. The role of the Financial Advisor has transformed from stock broker to caretaker of their clients’ financial lives. In the wake of the financial crisis, Financial Advisors have increasingly taken on the role of fiduciaries, putting their clients’ best interests first.

Today, wealth management is a high-level professional service that goes beyond just investment advice to encompass every part of your financial life. Rather than trying to piece together advice from a series of professional advisors, you benefit from a holistic approach where a single Financial Advisor or team of Financial Advisors coordinates all the services needed to manage your wealth and plan for your current and future financial needs.

The Emergence of Goals-Based Wealth Management

Traditionally, wealth management centered around having a diversified portfolio and measuring its performance against a benchmark. But, for most people, successful wealth management is less about the day-to-day fluctuations in the market and more about having the resources they need to pursue and achieve their goals.

Goals-based wealth management, as its name implies, is a goals-based approach to managing your wealth. It revolves around reaching your objectives, rather than chasing after an elusive return. It changes the focus from creating a portfolio to concentrating on building the life you wish you lead. With goals-based wealth management, you develop a strategy to reach your goals and measure success by the progress you’ve made toward achieving them.

The Rosenberg Bagtas Group at Morgan Stanley Robert Rosenberg, CFP®, Senior Vice President, Financial Advisor, Senior Portfolio Manager Mellany Bagtas, CFP®, CRPC®, Vice President, Financial Advisor, Portfolio Manager

Goals-Based Wealth Management is Dynamic

As your life stage changes, so do your goals. Early in your career, you may be focused on buying a home or starting a family. Over time, your priorities may shift to sending your children to college, assisting your aging parents or planning for retirement. In retirement, your concerns may be generating enough income to maintain your lifestyle or creating your legacy. To keep pace with your evolving needs and priorities, goals-based management is an ongoing process that helps ensure your strategies are always aligned with your goals, even if your goals change.

In an increasingly complex and ever-changing world, goals-based wealth management helps you create a financial roadmap to the future you envision for yourself and your family. With the help of a Financial Advisor who invests time in understanding you and your full financial picture, you can develop a wealth management strategy that fits your needs and helps maximize your probability of reaching your most important goals.

Riverdale Dry Cleaners in Yonkers.

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Yonkers landlord is suing a neighboring landlord for $3 million for allegedly allowing dry cleaning chemicals to pollute his property.

James G. Dibbini, president of Preferred Westchester Properties Inc., sued Fay Realty LLC and owner Norman Mirsky on Oct. 17 in Westchester Supreme Court.

Dibbini claims that Riverdale Dry Cleaners, next to his property, is “creating health and safety hazards.”

Dibbini owns a 4-story building at 432 Riverdale Ave., with three floors of apartments above street-level stores. Fay Realty owns the 1-story building next door at 434 Riverdale Ave. The properties are in the Ludlow neighborhood, across the street from Yonkers’ 3rd Precinct police station.

The lawsuit also names the dry cleaning business, owner Dong Jin and previous owner Haji Bunyad, as defendants.

Dibbini argues dry cleaners that use perc, also known as perchloroethylene or trichloroethylene, are required to handle the cleaning chemical carefully.

Perc is considered a toxic

chemical that can cause cancer and liver disease, the complaint states, and “contribute to serious irreversible or incapacitating human illness and may be fatal in small doses.”

State regulations require cleaners that use perc to install ventilation systems,

State regulations require cleaners that use perc to install ventilation systems, the complaint states, and to store contaminated solid waste in tightly sealed and clearly marked containers.

the complaint states, and to store contaminated solid waste in tightly sealed and clearly marked containers.

Riverdale Dry Cleaners never installed a ventilation system, Dibbini claims, and has illegally disposed of perc in the soil and in the air.

He alleges that Mirsky and Fay Realty, based in Great Neck, Nassau County, have failed to maintain the property in a reasonably safe condition. Mirsky did not immediately respond to a voicemail seeking comment.

The dry cleaners could use chemicals and processes that are considered safe, according to the complaint.

The defendants are accused of unlawful disposal of a toxic substance, negligence, private nuisance and trespass.

Dibbini is asking the court to order the defendants to cease and desist from disposing toxic chemicals on their property, remediate the property and to install an approved disposal system or use a cleaning method that does not pose a risk of harm to people or property.

He is demanding $3 million to pay for his own remediation costs and the loss of value to his property.

Dibbini, a lawyer, is representing himself.

COUNTRY BANK RAISES $15K FOR DIABETES RESEARCH A team from Country Bank, which has a branch in Scarsdale, recently raised $15,000 for the New York Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) in a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge staged by the nonprofit to raise both the awareness of Type 1 diabetes and funds to combat it.

The Murphy family, which owns the financial institution, has been a consistent supporter of JDRF, having lost a family member to the disease.

“Not only has juvenile diabetes impacted my own family, but many members of our Country Bank community, as well,” said Carolyn T. Murphy, bank vice president and chief marketing officer.

“Raising awareness by organizing fundraisers and offering support to other families keeps us hopeful and committed to being part of the solution.”

Murphy noted that Country Bank has been supporting the JDRF for more than 20 years. “We won’t stop until their goal of finding a cure has been accomplished,” she said.

largest amount to date for the event. Since the benefit began 20 years ago, $136,800 has been raised for Achilles International.

Anthony M. Sozzo, associate dean for student affairs and director of student financial planning and student activities at NYMC, recalled that the “…first year, we had 35 participants and the entire group of racers gathered in the lobby of (the) Basic Sciences Building.”

Faculty advisor Janet P. Dolot said,

“The enthusiasm to keep this event going is passed from class to class, student to student. The event is structured so that a second-year group organizes it, the firstyear students volunteer and the third-year students share their previous experiences, consult and provide general support.”

First place in this year’s race was achieved by Paul Rupperecht of Natick, Massachusetts, whose speed for a mile was 5 minutes and 17 seconds.

TOPPING A DEPARTMENT AND A BUILDING

Jennifer Ryan Safsel, who has been director of development for the organization Hope’s Door, has been named CEO of the New Rochelle WMCA effective Nov. 5. She will lead the Y’s fundraising initiatives, staff development, membership and development of youth and family programming.

Bram Fierstein, chairman of the search committee of the Y’s board of directors, said that Safsel’s children learned to swim at the New Rochelle Y. “She has a real passion for the YMCA and reaching out to engage the community, as well as promote our core values of healthy living, social responsibility and youth development,” he said.

community relations at Concordia College.

Also at Sarah Lawrence, a topping-off ceremony was held for the $35 million Barbara Walters Campus Center.

Students and staff celebrated as the final piece of structural steel was lifted into place. Sarah Lawrence President Cristle Collins Judd invited the senior class to sign the beam.

The new building is named in honor

of television journalist Barbara Walters, a school alumna who donated the lead gift of $15 million for the construction of the center. It will include the Barbara Walters Archives and Reading Room.

The 34,800-square-foot center, designed by KSS Architects, will serve as a gathering place for students, faculty and staff with lounges, dining and event facilities.

Students at Stepinac High School in White Plains recently participated in two successful fundraisers. One benefited the American Cancer Society’s (ACS) programs to fight breast cancer while the other aided programs to support U.S. troops organized by the Bronx-based Theodore Korony American Legion Post 253.

The students helped raise $2,400 for ACS. They sold T-shirts that were customized with the nonprofit’s pink ribbon and Stepinac’s logo and about 400 students contributed $3 each to ACS for the right to wear very casual attire on a “dress-down” day.

Stepinac students helped American Legion Post 253 collect and send hundreds of items, including T-shirts, wash cloths, soap, pens and note cards to U.S. military forces serving in Afghanistan, in addition to making monetary contributions.

The event was spearheaded by Kathy Courtney, licensed real estate salesperson with ERA Insite’s Pleasantville office, and supported by agents and staff from all three of ERA’s Westchester offices.

There were more than 50 participants who created paintings with guidance from an instructor who donated her time for the evening. In addition, there were raffle prizes and auction items donated by local businesses.

About $1,800 was raised to support North East’s programs, which include training for the Special Olympics, art and music therapy, summer camp, social skills training and more.

More than 50 painting enthusiasts participated in Paint Nite.

FOR THE TROOPS Employees in the White Plains and Shelton, Connecticut, offices of the retirement-planning company Pentegra took part in an in-office event Oct. 18 preparing greeting cards and gift packages for U.S. troops serving overseas.

John Pinto, the company’s president and CEO, said, “Pentegra was founded in 1943 during World War II. We are grateful to the troops who served our country then and want to continue to express our gratitude to those who serve today.”

The Pentegra employees were taking part in an effort organized by the nonprofit organization United for the Troops, which is based in Shrub Oak. The idea behind the program is to make life a little better for the men and women serving in the U.S. military by providing niceties that the military does not provide. Some of the items include snack foods, DVDs, CDs and T-shirts. The United for the Troops goal is to demonstrate pride in the troops and appreciation for their efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan and other troubled parts of the world.

Iona Prep Principal Joseph Blanco, third position from left, and Brother Thomas Leto, in the fifth position from left, pose with a few of the students who participated in the walk.

Iona Preparatory lower school students from pre-K through eighth grade joined in a Hunger Walk to raise funds and awareness for hunger relief on Oct. 19. The goal was to raise $7,000 for local and global efforts to combat hunger.

The fundraiser was part of fulfilling the school’s mission to develop young

men into moral and ethical leaders. The school had an early dismissal on that Friday, ensuring that the fundraiser did not face competition from academics or after-school activities.

The students walked around the track at the school’s athletic field in New Rochelle, which was outfitted with tables

holding water bottles to be sure the walkers were properly hydrated.

School principal Joseph Blanco explained that the walk brings students the satisfaction of performing a service while also affording them the opportunity to learn about hunger as a major world problem.

FAIRFIELD

GREENWICH EARNS CERTIFICATION AS A SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY Greenwich First Selectman Peter J. Tesei has announced that the town of Greenwich is among the inaugural list of communities certified under the Sustainable Connecticut program, a statewide initiative administered by Eastern Connecticut State University.

Certified as a Silver community, Greenwich receives the highest level of recognition for the town’s efforts to promote sustainability by employing efficient, resilient and inclusive best practices. Greenwich is one of four communities in Connecticut to receive the Silver designation.

“I am pleased that the environmental stewardship of the town, working with various partners, is being recognized,” said Tesei. “The Sustainable Connecticut designation illustrates the proactive role the Greenwich community has taken to preserve and protect not only our global environment, but our local and regional environments as well. The town looks forward to continuing to advance those efforts.”

Twenty-two municipalities met high standards in a broad range of sustainability accomplishments to qualify for certification, according to Sustainable Connecticut. All towns demonstrated significant achievements in nine sustainability impact areas ranging from thriving local economies and vibrant arts and culture to clean transportation and diverse housing. In addition, the towns had to address diversity, inclusion and equity when implementing sustainability actions. The certification submissions went through a series of rigorous reviews by independent experts and Sustainable Connecticut partners.

“Congratulations to our 2018 certified Sustainable Connecticut communities,” said Lynn Stoddard, executive director of the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Eastern Connecticut State University, which administers the program. “We are inspired by your leadership and eager to share your accomplishments in building efficient, thriving and resilient communities.”

With input from municipal leaders across the state, Sustainable Connecticut was developed under the leadership of the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Eastern Connecticut State University. The program is independently funded, with significant support from three Connecticut philanthropic foundations. The founding funders include the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, the Hampshire Foundation and the Common Sense Fund.

Greenwich and other certified communities will be recognized on Oct. 30 at the annual convention of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, followed by additional local and regional recognition events in the coming months. For more, visit sustainablect.org.

The HOBI Awards are the most prestigious home-building honors in Connecticut, recognizing the best in new construction, remodeling, sales and marketing and land development. Highly competitive, 2018 marks the 25th anniversary of the Awards, which will be presented this year at a gala Nov. 13 in Southington.

“Our judges were especially influenced by the stunning contemporary interior spaces with windows framing spectacular views of nature and water, some in three directions,” said Joanne Carroll, chairman of the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of Connecticut’s Sales and Marketing Council and a HOBI Awards producer.

“Today’s luxury homebuyer is looking for contemporary interiors with simplified detailing and a strong indoor-outdoor connection and our judges felt that Cole Harris delivered on all counts.”

Harris, principal of Cole Harris, said he found a lot to work with in the property’s spectacular waterfront setting. “The

development of any home is driven by its relationship to the land it will be built on.

Every property, regardless of its value or size, will have at least one compelling feature that embodies a unique sense of place and these features offer opportunities. Brush Island has presented us with many,” he said.

Diane Ramirez, chairman and CEO of Halstead, said it was an honor for the firm to represent such an amazing, award-winning home. “The design and construction of 21 Brush Island Road is just exceptional and Cole Harris Homes deserves to be acknowledged for such amazing craftmanship.”

“It is a great honor for our team to represent this masterful HOBI award-winning property,” said Paul Breunich, president and CEO of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty. “Cole Harris Associates and Cole Harris Homes define the architectural quality embodied in these awards through the meticulous construction of this magnificent, upscale home.”

Brody and Associates LLC of Westport recently announced that Lindsay M. Rinehart, a member of the firm, has been named program chair of the Westport-Weston Chapter of the Connecticut Bar Association.

FAIRFIELD COUNTY HISTORIC SITES TO OFFER GROUP TOURS FOR THE HOLIDAYS Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum and Westport Historical Society are inviting visitors to step into a Victorian wonderland with joint tours being offered from Friday, Nov. 23, the day after Thanksgiving, through Sunday, Jan. 6.

The two iconic Fairfield County heritage sites will be open to guests to enjoy beautiful period decorations and warm tidings of the season.

At Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum, one of the first mansions ever built in the U.S., visitors will relive the grandeur of the Victorian era during which New York Stock Exchange Treasurer LeGrand Lockwood built his stately summer home.

“Trees adorned with Victorian-era decorations, mantles festooned with period garlands and fruits, the holidays in Connecticut, as they are celebrated at our historic sites, are truly magical,” said Susan Gilgore, executive director of the Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum.

“The board of trustees and I are thrilled to collaborate with the Westport Historical Society and offer visitors a very unique and memorable experience during the holiday season.”

At Westport Historical Society’s Wheeler House, visitors will enjoy a tableau of Christmas in the home of an upper middle-class New England family and will also view the main-gallery installation featuring holiday traditions of the many cultures that have been integral to Westport’s founding and development.

The group tour begins at Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum where guests will also enjoy a catered boxed lunch in the mansion’s Billiards Room. After a short coach ride to Westport, groups will be welcomed to Wheeler House where they will be served coffee and pastries. At both sites, visitors are invited to shop the unique holiday gift selections in the museum shops. Additionally, Wheeler House is located in scenic downtown Westport upon the Saugatuck River, which features an idyllic Main Street with a wide variety of boutiques, traditional retail shops and eateries.

“This partnership between two beloved Fairfield County heritage institutions demonstrates the future of historic interpretation,” said Ramin Ganeshram, executive director of the Westport Historical Society.

“As two very different 19th century sites, we are able to work together to tell a holistic story about the period and the local people who lived within it.

Best-selling author and cybersecurity expert Adam K. Levin will be the featured speaker at Your Money Swiped, a financial seminar hosted

by Reby Advisors, at the Ridgewood Country Club on Thursday, Nov. 1. After a welcome reception at 5:30 p.m., Levin will begin the discussion at 6:30 p.m.

“Guest speaker Levin is a nationally recognized expert on cybersecurity, privacy, identity theft fraud and a fierce consumer advocate … we are fortunate to have him share his expertise on these critical issues,” said event host Robert Reby, CEO of Reby Advisors, a financial planning firm headquartered in Danbury. “Breaches have become the third certainty in life, as is apparent with the recent Facebook hack that affected 50 million accounts. My mission is to educate consumers on identity management and protection, privacy and credit,” added Reby.

“Levin will offer his 3M blueprint for consumers — minimize the risk, monitor and manage damage. He’ll provide a checklist on how consumers can protect their identity from being hijacked and include do’s and don’ts on social media, password selection, cell phone protection as well as a map to navigate and resolve identity compromises. Consumers need to practice safe cyber hygiene on a daily basis,” he warned.

Chairman and founder of CyberScout and co-founder of Credit Affairs, Levin has been a consumer advocate for the past 40 years. His weekly column has appeared on ABC News Inc., Yahoo, The Huffington Post and Market Watch, among others. He has also been featured in “The New York Times,” “The Wall Street Journal” and on numerous network news shows, including ABC World News, CBS Evening News and Bloomberg radio, among others. His latest book “Swiped: How to Protect yourself in a World Full of Scammers, Phishers and Identity Thieves” is currently on Amazon’s best-seller list.

The event is complimentary, but due to limited seating, reservations are necessary; visit events.rebyadvisors.com.
