FAIRFIELD – Shiloh Baptist Church, Barnum Museum and Freeman Houses in Bridgeport. The Wakeman Boys and Girls Club and Pequot Library in Southport. These are some of the historic and community buildings that will be greatly affected by the United Illuminating monopole project proposed on the north side of Metro-North train tracks.
A video of these properties and many more were beamed onto three large screens at FTC in Fairfield Tuesday night as part of the “U&I vs. UI: Bury the Power Lines” rally that was complete with music from the local band “Out on Bail.”
Residents, business owners, elected officials, and church pastors are telling a Superior Court judge and the Connecticut Siting Council, the agency that approved the 7.3-mile swath of new 95-foot-to-195-foot transmission line monopoles for Fairfield and Bridgeport, about the project's negative impact.
“It wouldn’t just have a massive impact,” said Rev. Carl McCluster, pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church at the rally. “It would destroy our church because based on the easement, our parking lot, our offices would all be taken away. We would be reduced to singular entrances to the property.
“This project chokes the ability to build upon about what has been developed in the South End. Who loses in this? It’s the people here. What about the people who bought the affordable homes down there and have maintained them, the cottages down in the South End. If their homes are impacted, where are they going to go.”
Ever since the Siting Council approved UI’s $255 million plan in a draft decision in January to build 100 monopoles from Fairfield (including Southport) and Bridgeport by taking about 22 acres of property through easements to build its new transmission lines, a grassroots movement has begun. Led by residents Andrea and Steve Ozyck, Sasco Creek Neighbors Environmental Trust Inc. (SCNETI) was formed about a year ago. Its simple mission is to “bury the lines” – as in the UI transmission lines – instead of erecting monopoles.
Their movement has helped steer the Town of Fairfield to appeal the Siting Council decision. It also led to
local state legislative delegation to help pass a law that pertains to the rights of “parties and intervenors” in Siting Council proceedings involving electric transmission lines as well as the council’s membership and processes.
“The oral arguments for the Town of Fairfield appeal of the Siting Council decision are scheduled for January,”
First Selectman Bill Gerber said at the rally. “Our appeal asks the court to vacate the Siting Council’s decision to approve UI’s plan that isn’t a plan, without a notification for a plan and without due process for a plan that wasn’t a plan to erect massive monopoles throughout Fairfield and Bridgeport.”
He told the crowd of more than 100 that he thinks the town has a good case.
“If we win, we believe UI will have to resubmit its application to the siting council, but under the new rules our state delegation has helped write and pass. That’s PA(public act)-24-144. It requires the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to hold a public meeting to receive comments on a draft act of the Connecticut Siting Council before the end of November.”
UI has said all along the purpose of the project is improve the reliability and resiliency of the transmission system, ensuring that the safe and reliable transmission of power is maintained throughout Fairfield and New Haven County in accordance with Federal reliability standards.
A UI analysis determined that the existing structural support system for the transmission lines exhibits age-related physical limitations that jeopardize the long-term integrity of the transmission system.
Soon after the Siting Council’s approval of the draft decision UI sent a letter on Feb. 16 to the Town of Fairfield with the following message:
“Now that the Connecticut Siting Council (CSC) has issued their draft decision and order, starting Monday, 2/19/24, UI staff will proactively go door-to-door distributing Fairfield to Congress Project information updates to residents and businesses abutting the north side of CTDOT tracks.
“UI will be spending the next several months redesigning and engineering
"The cost is not in the dollars that are spent; it’s in the life of the community itself."
— Rev. Carl McCluster
the new approved route. Therefore, UI will not have any specific project information about pole locations, heights, or easements at this time.”
DEEP will issue a report on Nov. 14, according to Gerber. On Nov. 21, there will be a hearing on the Siting Council. The scope of this review is on the functions of the Siting Council, its duties and its members, Gerber said. And what changes may be needed for the Siting Council. The kind of criteria it uses to evaluate applications, how the council evaluates environmental and economic impacts of its decisions.
The first selectman is due to testify at the hearing. On Thursday, Dec. 5, written comment will be accepted by email. And by Dec. 31, a final report is due to the General Assembly.
“I think that we are looking at a system that was built and was allowed to grow and doesn’t really consider residents and is only done to guarantee returns of utility companies,” he said.
“I think this group and the 501-c 3s are fighting this for the long haul. If we lose this, we are going to the Supreme Court. This probably won’t be resolved in the near future.”
The mission for the Ozycks and SCNETI, which has filed its own appeal of the Siting Council decision, is to stop the monopoles from being built and instead bury the transmission lines.
“That means that UI would seize the property from your neighbors, your friends, your churches, your
libraries, your parks and businesses,” Andrea Ozyck said about building the towers. “We found this deeply troubling and deeply unacceptable.
“After discussing our concerns with our representative Jennifer Leeper, she helped us mobilize very quickly. We had three days to file paperwork to officially oppose the project. We knew we needed an organization to help us.”
They then formed SCNETI as a 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit to focus their efforts on fighting the transmission line monopoles.
Her husband, Steve, pointed out there is a precedent for an electric utility burying transmission lines instead of erecting new monopoles.
“There was an almost identical project done in Greenwich,” he said. “It’s 2.3 miles long. They buried the lines specifically because of the impact on the environment. It was the first option for Eversource. They said it was a new transmission line and we suggest you bury the line. The cost of burying it was $22 million a mile and was completed in 2020.”
Pastor McCluster’s words put into perspective what rally-goers were thinking as far as what many were thinking. It’s not about the height and aesthetics of the huge monopoles. It’s about something more deep.
“Since I’m a preacher, I speak in scripture,” the pastor said. “I think of ‘who builds the tower without counting the cost.’ Isn’t that interesting? The cost is not in the dollars that are spent; it’s in the life of the community itself.”

A $300,000 renovation of a 160-yearold house in Verplank has ended instead in condemnation and demolition that could cost two contractors $2.5 million.
Melanie Butler accused Onyx Contracting Services, White Plains, and C. Correa Construction, Mount Vernon, of negligence, in a complaint filed on Nov. 5 in Westchester Supreme Court.
The plan was to renovate and expand the old house, the complaint states, but instead the contractors caused a "catastrophic failure such that the foundation no longer provided adequate load bearing of the structure."
The property is on Kings Ferry Road at Lake Meahagh. Butler, of Manhattan's Upper West Side, described the house as a historic home dating back to the 1860s. She bought it for $585,000 and mortgaged it for $801,000 in 2023.
She hired Onyx Contracting to renovate the house, according to the complaint, and Onyx hired C. Correa Construction for excavation and foundation work.
The work began in January. Within days, the project had to be stopped. Cracks developed in the facades and basement walls began to buckle.
Architect Marco S. Mandra con-
cluded on Jan. 15 that the structure was too dangerous to enter or salvage.
"It is in the best interest of the owners and the town to have [the] building condemned and demolished," he reported, "to create a safe construction site and allow the owners to rebuild from the ground up."
EFI Global Engineering came to a similar conclusion. The entire foundation was compromised during excavation, an engineer reported, "due to the improper bracing provided by the contractor during the temporary shoring phase of construction."
The Town of Cortlandt condemned the structure as unsafe, on Jan. 16. The house was razed on Aug. 26.
Butler accused the contractors of negligence, in part for "recklessly and with cavalier indifference [ignoring] the unambiguous instructions on the architectural plans."
She is demanding $2.5 million to build a new house and to recover her out-of-pocket expenses.
Onyx Contracting did not reply to a telephone message, asking for its side of the story. Efforts to find contact information for C. Correa Construction were unsuccessful.
Butler is represented by White Plains attorney Joshua E. Kimerling.

Members of a neo-Nazi group that is based in New England, Nationalist Social Club 131 (NSC-131), staged a small demonstration on the steps of White Plains City Hall on Saturday, Nov. 9, White Plains Public Safety Commissioner David Chong has confirmed to the Business Journal. City Hall was closed since it was a Saturday. It is located at 255 Main St. in downtown across from the City Center retail and residential complex and in an area where there is plenty of pedestrian and motor vehicle activity.
"We noticed about ten to a dozen males dressed in all black standing on the steps of City Hall," Chong said. He said that the banner they were holding up identified their group and that the banner stated that all foreigners should go home.
"Our patrol units spotted them and immediately ordered them off the steps of City Hall," Chong said. "They were compliant as more police units showed up. They walked in a group chanting their name and broke up when they realized that the police were following them up Main Street to North Broadway."
Chong said that the members of the group were not openly harassing
pedestrians and did not cause any criminal mischief. He said that the Westchester County District Attorney’s Instigator Squad was notified, and the whole incident lasted no more than 20 minutes. Chong said that other appropriate agencies in the county have been notified of what took place.
"No other similar incident was reported by any other community in the county," Chong said. "Our detectives will be setting up a follow up meeting with the Westchester District Attorney’s Office."
Information obtained by the Business Journal indicated that at least some of the group's members wore ski masks to hide their identify for at least part of the time they were on the steps of City Hall.
According to the Anti-Defamation League, NSC-131 came into being in 2020 when a previous white supremacist group went out of existence.
In addition to being active in New England, especially around the Boston area, it added chapters in the Midwest, Southwest and Southeast, but soon abandoned those chapters and concentrated on the six-state New England geographic area of Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
A search by the Business Journal
"We noticed about ten to a dozen males dressed in all black standing on the steps of City Hall..."
— David Chong, White Plains Public Safety Commissioner
failed to find reports of demonstrations in New York by NSC-131 prior to what happened in White Plains.
The Southern Poverty Law Center reported that in the spring of last year, NSC-131 launched a group called People's Initiative of New England that welcomes women into its ranks. It uses a logo similar to NSC-131's logo.
In April, NSC-131 staged a rally in front of Town Hall in Greenwich that lasted about an hour. Police said at the time that those taking part in the rally had not broken any laws but they found after the rally that a young girl had been injured by some individuals who took part in the event.
In March, Stamford police reported that anti-Semitic and other hate speech literature attributed to NSC131 had been distributed in the city. NSC-131 had said that its members were present when the U.S. Capitol was attacked on Jan. 6, 2021, and that it added 250 new members after Jan. 6. The total number of people active in NSC-131 remains unclear, but the Boston Globe reported in August 2023 that the group had 30 or 40 members. Other sources have said that the membership is "large."

Rep. Elise Stefanik of Schuylerville in Upstate New York has been selected by Donald Trump to be the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations under his administration.
In a statement, Trump said, "“I am honored to nominate Chairwoman Elise Stefanik to serve in my Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Elise is an incredibly strong, tough, and smart America First fighter.”
During the impeachment hearings in 2019, Stefanik was a defender of Trump and he referred to her as a "Republican star." Stefanik has been a steadfast election denier and objected when the House was in the process of certifying President Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election. She has consistently supported Trump's lie about him winning the 2020 election and there being widespread fraud.
When Stefanik was first elected to Congress in 2014, she was the youngest woman lever elected to the House of Representatives. She worked closely with former House Speaker Paul Ryan.
Stefanik attracted national attention recently when she blasted university officials for not speaking out loudly enough and failing to take action against anti-Semitism on campus.
Stefanik is a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, the Committee on Education and Labor, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
She graduated from Harvard. From 2006 to 2009, she served on President George W. Bush’s Domestic Policy Council Staff and in the White House Chief of Staff’s office where she assisted in overseeing the policy development process on all economic
and domestic policy issues.
Although at one time she was a critic of Trump as president, she shifted to become a leading Trump supporter saying that her shift was, in part, a reaction to Trump's popularity with her constituents.
When she's not in Washington, Stefanik lives in Schuylerville with her husband Matt and their son Sam.
Stefanik said, “I am truly honored to earn President Trump's nomination to serve in his Cabinet as U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. During my conversation with President Trump, I shared how deeply humbled I am to accept his nomination and that I look forward to earning the support of my colleagues in the United States Senate.
"The work ahead is immense as we see anti-Semitism skyrocketing coupled with four years of catastrophically weak U.S. leadership that significantly weakened our national security and diminished our standing in the eyes of both allies and adversaries".
"In 15 years, we have spent about $150 million directly in variable spend with Connecticut vendors."

STAMFORD
– Imagine a world where syndicated television talk show hosts and fierce competitors Maury Povich, Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos worked under the same roof.
That was the case at Stamford Studios in when it opened in 2009 at the former Rich Forum Theatre in the city’s downtown. The demise of the former iconic theater led to the TV talk show “factory” that hosted Maury, The Jerry Springer show, Judge Jerry, and the Steve Wilkos show.
“The whole reason why we are here is that The Maury Povich show lost its lease in New York,” said Kristen Killackey, vice president of production and operations. “So, then the writing was on the wall. We needed to find another studio to tape that show. Our boss at the time said Connecticut has a tax credit program. How difficult would it be for us to move the show to Connecticut.”
Killackey, Vinnie Fusco, senior vice president of production and operations, and their team scoped out possible venues in the state.
“We looked in more untraditional places – a mall, a warehouse that you
can use as a studio,” Killackey said. “Then a Realtor told us they have this old theater. It’s owned by the Stamford Center for the Arts. It’s in bankruptcy and foreclosure.”
They took a trip to downtown Stamford and when they walked in they could feel the vibe that this would be their future home.
“The bones of the building were so perfect for what we could see us doing there,” Fusco said. “The great part of it was that it was a theater. It had the elements of a theater, like a fly system where the sets go up into the air and a lot of depth on the wings so you can build sets you can roll in and out.”
Fusco and Killackey asked themselves, “why should we just put the Maury show there?” They had two other shows in Chicago that could use better space – the Jerry Springer and Steve Wilkos shows.
With some cajoling and coordination, the Stamford Studios team worked with all three talk show hosts to agree to sharing one stage at different times of the day and days of the week.
“You have to remember that it was really a little unorthodox,” Fusco said.
“Up until that point, all the syndicated shows were done in New York, Chicago and LA for the most part on a single stage.”
The crew at Stamford Studios, a subsidiary of NBC Universal, took the keys for 307 Atlantic St. in April and by August began taping its first Maury show in August. “There were a lot of pieces that had to be brought together,” Killackey said. “Before we even moved a staff, we had to get the building to a place where we could make TV.”
That included an around-the-clock transformation of an old theater into a television studio complete with seating for an audience, green rooms, production facilities, and a control room. With a lot of help from former Mayor Michael Pavia’s office, the city’s build-
ing department and the Downtown Special Services District led by Sandy Goldstein, Stamford Studios was able to meet its tight deadline to start rolling its cameras by August 2009.
“They were really interested in a business like ours because of the brick and mortar element of it,” Killackey said. “We’re not just a film that brings in a lot of people and leaves. We were going to bring in a business and hopefully go year over year over year and expand.”
And grow they did. In a matter of 15 years, Stamford Studios has built out its 46,000-square-foot space, which now includes two studios, support space. In total, they have 70,000 square feet of space that includes its “digital factory” at nearby Bank Street.
Also, it is now marketing its Studio B for third-party events.
When they were taping Maury, Springer and Wilkos in the early years, the studio employed more than 400 workers. That figure is now down to about 250 as they are taping Wilkos and Karamo (Karamo Brown of TV’s Queer Eye). When it had all three shows, the studio handled about 600 people per day for three shows.
The economic impact of both Stamford Studios and its satellite digital productions venue, which also tapes podcasts, is not to be taken lightly for the city of Stamford.
“We have probably traveled 55,000 people into Stamford since the inception of the shows here,” Fusco said. “And 600,000 audience members, more or less.”
He went on to describe how the spend by guests, audience members and most importantly the crew itself in and around Stamford shows how important a business like theirs is.
“What’s really different about our
shows is that a lot of the spend in the state is very variable,” he added. “It encompasses restaurants, cleaners, HVAC companies, architectural companies. You name it, food stores. In the 15 years, we have spent about $150 million directly in variable spend with Connecticut vendors.”
When the studios came to Connecticut and took advantage of the tax credit, it was really important for them to fulfill their obligation to be a part of the community from a volunteerism standpoint and from a variable spend standpoint, according to Fusco.
Many of the Stamford Studios employees volunteer for such organizations as Inspirica (a homeless advocacy group), DSSD events such as the Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Boys and Girls Club, American Cancer Society, and Stamford Hospital’s Paint the Town Pink event.
The state’s Digital Media and Motion Picture Tax Credit allows for a company to qualify for up to a 30% tax credit if production expenses are more than $1 million annually. There is a sliding scale where if a company spends between $100,000 and $500,000 it gets a 10% credit, and if it spends between $500,000 and $1 million, it gets a 15% credit.
Additionally, the studio qualifies for the credit if it conducts at least 50% of principal photography in the state or 50% of postproduction costs within the state, or $1 million in postproduction costs in the state.
One story Fusco likes to tell about the early days at Stamford Studios is about the former Atlantic Pizza restaurant.
“We would order about 60 pizza pies per day from Atlantic Pizza at the time when we were taping five days a week from 8 in the morning until sometimes as late as 9 at night,” Fusco said.
“That included pizza for the audience, guests on the show and the crew.”

A Dutchess County man is suing Boar's Head Provisions Company for allegedly engaging in deceptive business practices and false advertising by not disclosing the presence or risk of listeria contamination in deli meats.
Boar's Head of Sarasota, Florida recalled millions of pounds of deli meats this past July after listeria bacteria were detected in Strassburger Brand Liverwurst produced at a plant in Virginia. At least 59 people in 19 states were hospitalized and ten have died, including two in New York.
Frank Pompilio filed a class action lawsuit on Oct. 30 in U.S. District Court, White Plains, seeking at least $5 million on behalf of New Yorkers who bought Boar's Head products before July 31.
His lawsuit is the twelfth class action case brought against Boar's Head since the recall. Complaints filed in six states
across the country accuse the company of wrongful death, personal injury, product liability, and fraud.
Pompilio claims he bought tainted Boar's Head products at a Stop & Shop market in Poughkeepsie. He does not identify the specific products he bought or say if was sickened.
The complaint lists 57 variations of bologna, bacon, frankfurters, hams, and sausages that were allegedly made, marketed and sold in misleading ways.
Pompilio says consumers rely on labels to decide if products are safe and worth buying. They cannot independently test the products, so they expect the manufacturers to disclose the risks of contamination.
The complaint is based on New York's General Business Law, a consumer protection statute that makes it unlawful to engage in deceptive practices and false advertising in business, trade or commerce.
Pompilio is asking for monetary
damages, punitive damages, and $550 for each transaction in New York that was deceptive and falsely advertised.
The Boar's Head media relations office did not reply to a message asking
for the company's response to the allegations.
Pompilio is represented by Poughkeepsie attorneys Jason P. Sultzer and Daniel Markowitz.
A Tarrytown financial adviser claims that a meritless complaint by a former customer harms his reputation and should be erased from the public record.
Paul J. Tramontozzi petitioned Westchester Supreme Court on Nov. 5 to expunge a complaint on the BrokerCheck record maintained by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
Removing the complaint "will not adversely affect the public," the petition states, "as the publication of false and clearly erroneous allegations cannot accomplish the investor protection that ... BrokerCheck systems purport to provide."
Tramontozzi has been a registered financial adviser since 2003. He currently works for Stratos Wealth Partners Ltd. and LPL Financial LLC in Tarrytown, according to his BrokerCheck Record. The Financial Industry Regulatory
By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com
Authority, more commonly known as FINRA, regulates firms and individuals that sell securities. Although it is a private organization, it acts as a quasi -governmental agency that enforces U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
FINRA's BrokerCheck database contains detailed reports that anyone can view about every firm and individual registered to sell securities. The reports include summaries of customer disputes and the final determinations.
Tramontozzi's BrokerCheck report lists one dispute, a complaint received in April 2023 from a customer who alleged that an unauthorized investment was made on his investment account.
The complaint was denied.
BrokerCheck does not identify the client, but according to exhibits filed with the petition he is a gemologist and jewelry-maker from North Salem.
In mid-December 2022, the client sought to set up a 401(k) plan by the
end of the year, according to the petition. On short notice, the account was opened with $27,000 in cash.
Tramontozzi says he advised the client to keep the account in cash until they had time to discuss the client's needs in greater detail.
In February 2023, he implemented their plan to put the cash and nearly $264,000 from a Fidelity Investments account into a growth fund.
But when the client received the account statement, he was surprised that the funds had been reinvested, the petition states, because he was "under the impression that they were going to keep the money in cash for now."
Later, the client acknowledged that it was all a misunderstanding but he felt that they needed to communicate better. Tramontozzi says he communicated clearly on the phone, in person and in emails, but he appeased the client so as not to escalate the situation.
In April 2023, the client submitted a complaint to FINRA, alleging an unauthorized investment.
Publication of the complaint on BrokerCheck implies professional misconduct, the petition states, and misleads the public, employers and regulators.
FINRA rules allow for information to be removed from a BrokerCheck report, according to the petition, "when it is clearly erroneous, factually impossible, false or ... potentially defamatory."
Tramontozzi is asking the court to order FINRA to expunge the BrokerCheck report.
FINRA public relations director Rita De Ramos declined to comment on the lawsuit.

First responders from numerous communities joined with state forces to combat wildfires in the Hudson Valley that roared out of control in he wake of drought conditions and uncharacteristic heat for November.
On Nov. 12, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus led the team of state and local officials working with frontline responders at Greenwood Lake to review progress and planning in battling the Jennings Creek/Sterling State Park wildfire that had spread to encompass 5,000 acres. The fire, which jumped the border into New York from New Jersey, was estimated to be 10% contained at the time. High winds were making it more difficult for firefighters to contain the blaze.
A second 42-acre fire was located near West Mombasha Road and the Appalachian Trail and was contained. Hochul said that another fire in the Town of Denning in Ulster County was 95% contained within 630 acres. Hochul also announced that a statewide burn ban was in effect until Nov. 30 due to an increased fire risk as the state continued to experience drought conditions.
"Right now New York state is facing the largest wildfire since 2008," Hochul said. "Our greatest concern is the Jennings Creek fire here in Orange County. Some of the residents have voluntarily evacuated but I want to emphasize that at this moment no
structures are currently under threat."
Hochul pointed out that firefighters from as many as 47 different communities around the state had come into Orange County to help. She said that New York State Police helicopters had been used for water drops and State Police drones were being used to track the fire. Two National Guard UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters were being put into service with water buckets that have twice the capacity of the buckets on the State Police choppers.
Neuhaus credited firefighters with saving a row of homes along Cliff Road a couple of days before.
"We are making headway with people on foot being supported by UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) operations," Neuhaus said. "Those aviation assets are critical to our success here. We can't get to some of these places. We can't get bulldozers, excavators and other heavy equipment to these areas so we're depending on our men and women on foot as well as our support from those air operations."
Jackie Bray, commissioner the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, said, "This has been a historically dry fall. We had the driest October in New York City and parts of the Hudson Valley than we've ever had in New York. We did receive some rain over the last 48 hours, less than half an inch. It just wasn't enough to extinguish the flames and take us out of the drought that we're in. Completely
avoid outdoor burning. As the drought continues, conserve water."
According to Hochul's office, from 2007 to 2023, New York state had an average of 117 wildfires per year, with an average of 1,400 acres burned per year. In 2008, the Overlooks Fire in the Town of Rochester in Ulster County burned a total of 2,855 acres. The largest brush fire to occur in New York state was the Adirondack Fire of 1903, which lasted for six weeks and burned a total area of 600,000 acres.
An 18-year old park ranger was killed while fighting the Sterling State Park fire. He was identified as Daniel Vasquez, an employee of the New York State Department of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a statement saying, “My prayers go out to his family, friends and coworkers during this difficult time. I commend his dedication to serving and protecting his fellow New Yorkers, and his bravery on the front lines."
Neuhaus had been to a fire scene in the Town of Warwick.
"I want to assure you that I am working closely with Town of Warwick Supervisor Jesse Dwyer, Greenwood Lake Mayor Tom Howley, and my emergency services command team to coordinate the response to the fires," Neuhaus said as brush along the side of a road burned behind where he was standing. "County and municipal fire Service personnel, in collaboration with state fire resources, are working tirelessly in the difficult terrain around the Town of Warwick and Greenwood Lake area to combat the fires. While
first responders continue to monitor the situation closely, there is currently no immediate threat to homes or individuals. However, out of an abundance of caution, we advise residents near the fires to have an evacuation plan in place should the situation change."
The Red Cross had set up a temporary shelter at the Greenwood Lake Community Center, located at 51 Waterstone Rd., in Greenwood Lake for anyone in need of assistance.
"We have deployed state assets and agencies to coordinate with local first responders in fighting these fires while closely monitoring air quality as a result of them,” Hochul said. “The safety of all New Yorkers is my top priority, and I urge everyone in impacted areas, especially those vulnerable, to stay alert, monitor air quality, and take necessary precautions to stay safe.”
The State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services had sent a portable radio tower, satellite communications truck, and cell phone system from AT&T into Ulster County. Park Forest Rangers were in direct communication with Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Forest Rangers coordinating the response to the fire on the Sullivan/ Ulster County border.
Due to the smoke from the fires, DEC and the State Department of Health issued an Air Quality Health Advisory. People with existing breathing difficulties were the most likely to be affected by the smoke from the fires that was being carried by winds into Westchester, Connecticut and other areas.

Throughout history, infertility has generally been considered a woman’s problem. (Remember Henry VIII, desperate for a male heir, and his six put-upon wives? Historians now believe Henry may have had the Kell antigen, a protein that triggers immune responses, making him a poor reproductive match for his partners and explaining his physical and mental deterioration.)
In 60% of couples, infertility stems from male trouble, not female problems, with 1% to 2% of all men having no sperm in their ejaculate (azoospermia). Another 1% to 2% will have so few sperm (cryptospermia) that they cannot be counted on even for an in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle.
October marked the fifth anniversary of a ground-breaking medical procedure in the United States that is now responsible for 36 babies born and a total of 50 pregnancies in couples where men who had no sperm or virtually no sperm in the ejaculate – some of whom had previously undergone traditional, invasive therapies to locate and identify sperm that failed -- were able to father a child.
Developed in Israel, Extended Sperm Search and Microfreeze (ESSM) has brought results to men struggling with infertility. Maze Men’s Health in Purchase is the only medical practice in the U.S. performing this technique, seeing male patients from all over the world to have their semen analyzed and sperm located and frozen. The results say it all:
• Since October 2019, Maze Men’s Health has performed 750 sperm searches through ESSM.
• With ESSM, Maze’s overall sperm recovery rate has been 40% for men with azoospermia and more than 90% for men with cryptospermia.
• Total IVF cycles in progress using sperm found via ESSM at Maze – 23.
• Total live births as a result of ESSM at Maze – 36.
• Total patients who released sperm to IVF labs – 51.
Chaya Rothschild, Maze Health senior andrologist, prepares a specimen for ESSM testing.
ESSM finds and freezes small numbers of sperm in men with azoospermia or cryptospermia. The entire semen sample is divided into microdroplets and carefully scanned under a high-powered microscope. Then Maze spends up to eight hours looking for sperm. Any sperm that are located are placed in a special device called SpermVD, which allows individual sperm to be transferred to a microdroplet for freezing and then cryopreserved for use in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI-IVF).
The ESSM process to divide the concentrated semen into droplets stemmed from a 2017 study by the Male Fertility Center in Tel Aviv, which found that examining the concentrated semen samples that comprise the entire sample, which is equivalent to 20 times the volume analyzed in a standard semen analysis, ultimately allows the physician to find rare sperm about 40% of the time. This new technique was then named Extended Sperm Search.
The second component of ESSM is the microfreezing, which overcomes two problems associated with traditional sperm freezing methods. First, the sperm survival rate with microfreezing is much higher than with standard freezing. Second, since traditional freezing is performed on much larger volumes of semen, once the larger sample is thawed, that an additional search must be performed to find the sperm within the sample. Since IVF is time-sensitive, the additional time required for the extra search presents additional challenges.
Because the sperm are successfully frozen in such a small quantity of fluid with ESSM, over 90% of them survive the freeze and thaw process. This process also makes the sperm easier to find when thawed on the day they are needed to inject into their partner’s egg (ICSI).
According to a 37-year-old patient, “I was told I was azoospermic after going to several well-known fertility centers in the tristate area. I then came to Maze for a standard semen analysis, which also showed zero sperm count. However, after having Maze’s ESSM lab test, 42 sperm were recovered and safely stored. In collaboration with the IVF lab, my wife and I are happy to
say that seven healthy embryos were developed.”
The physicians at Maze suggest that ESSM should be performed prior to considering testicular sperm extraction, because ESSM is noninvasive and can be done as many times as needed. Contrarily, the traditional surgical extraction procedure called Testicular Sperm Extraction (micro-TESE) is invasive and may cause some damage to the testicles, reducing testosterone production, and thus can only be performed a limited number of times.
Although ESSM pricing can’t be compared to standard sperm freezing, because the workflow is so different, it is significantly less than the cost of a surgical sperm extraction. For example, it costs $2,000 for the search and $100 per vial for freezing and is comparable to the laboratory fees for egg banking. Since ESSM is relatively new, it doesn’t fall into any of the exist-
ing codes used by insurance companies and is therefore not typically covered. However, each company is different, and Maze’s billing specialists work directly with each insurance company on behalf of its patients to discuss coverage options.
We are proud of the fact that we have profoundly changed the way we treat azoospermic and cryptospermic men. With these groundbreaking techniques, there will be more pregnancies with dramatically less intervention. The effect that ESSM will have on these couples trying to conceive will continue to be even more far-reaching and life-changing.

Change, as the saying goes, is the only constant, and these days, The Westchester in White Plains – a Simon property with 140 stores and restaurants -- seems to be in constant motion, adding new retail spaces and eateries periodically, while anchor stores upgrade. (Neiman Marcus, for instance, has moved its men’s department to Retail Level 3, consolidating women’s clothing on Retail Level 2. More on Neiman Marcus, now part of Saks Global, in an upcoming story. For now, two big names in fashion and accessories – Marc Jacobs and Kendra Scott respectively – opened boutiques at The Westchester in October.
Valued at more than $1 billion, Kendra Scott LLC, maker of fine and fashion jewelry, has some 1,000plus specialty boutiques worldwide, along with wholesale partners like Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom. Not bad for a business that the single-mom namesake started with $500 in 2002 in the spare bedroom of her Austin, Texas, home when the first of her three sons was three months old.
“I’ve always had a love of natural gemstones and noticed a white space in the jewelry market for quality styles and stones at an affordable price,” Scott said on her website. “So I decided to create them myself.”
There’s fashion jewelry; The DemiFine Collection of sterling silver pieces and fine jewelry that features gemstones and 14-karat gold, including lab and mined diamonds, said Jessica Wolfe, assistant manager of The Westchester store, which opened on Retail Level 3 Oct. 11. At the Color Bar, a concept that Wolfe said Scott created with friends, you can customize your pieces, selecting from more than 40 styles and 50-plus stones. It’s perfect for mother-daughter gatherings and parties, Wolfe said of the lounge area, which features beverages and treats on weekends. It’s all wrapped up in Scott’s signature “Yellow Rose of Texas” décor and packaging (not to be confused with her Yellow Rose of Texas collection, inspired by the American West).
But fashion is only one of the three pillars of Scott’s business model, Wolfe said. The others are family, which
Scott’s website said “always comes first here, and it always will”; and philanthropy. To date, Kendra Scott has donated more than $50 million to local, national and international charities that affect youths and women in the areas of education, entrepreneurship and health and wellness.
“My stepfather once told me that the greatest thing I could do with my life was to use my talents to improve the lives of others,” Scott has said.
“What drove me to work here,” Wolfe added, “was the chance to do good every day.”
Down on Retail 1, Marc Jacobs brings its customary playfulness to a boutique featuring the brand’s various handbag lines, footwear, fragrances, jewelry, sunglasses and other accessories along with some ready-to- wear.
The New York City-born, Teaneck, New Jersey-raised designer studied at the Parsons School of Design in Manhattan before winning the Council of Fashion Designers of America’s Perry Ellis Award for New Fashion Talent in 1987. A decade later, after designing for Perry Ellis and his own label, Jacobs became creative director of Louis Vuitton (LV), which acquired a majority interest in his then 13-yearold company. Jacobs, a former Rye resident, took LV beyond luggage and leather goods into ready-to-wear and viral pop iconography. LV in turn restructured Jacobs’ company, which helped the brand record $642 million in sales last year.
The LV-Jacobs synergy – he left LV in 2014 to work on his own eponymous line – can be seen in the blend of the classic and the modern at the Marc Jacobs store in The Westchester. Traditional handbag styles like the tote are given an ironic twist, being labeled what they are. “The Tote Bag” in various sizes, colors and prints and three materials (canvas, jacquard and leather) is, Jacobs has said, his utilitarian answer to Hermès’ Birkin and went viral on TikTok, added Westchester store sales associate Samantha Lawless, when it debuted in 2019.
Lawless demonstrated how The Clover Bag, with its interlocking “Js” logo, can be a shoulder, crossbody or hand bag, a clutch or a wristlet. The Snapshot Bag, made of Saffiano leather with the same logo and an interchangeable webbing strap, resembles a camera bag and is the preferred starter bag, Lawless said:
“Lots of young girls like it, because you can switch out the strap and it’s very durable and scratch-resistant.”
Meanwhile, Marc Jacobs’ large, dark, funky-framed sunglasses look like a cross between what Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Cyndi Lauper would wear. The appeal of the designs and thus the store is that they embrace many demographic groups, Lawless said. The Daisy fragrance, with its notes of strawberry, pink grapefruit and violets, was named for Daisy Buchanan, the anti-heroine of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel “The Great Gatsby.” And unlike other retail brands capitalizing on the Nov. 22 film release of the musical “Wicked,” Marc Jacobs’ tie-ins do not play on the musical or the film but on the 1939 version of “The Wizard of Oz,” Jacobs’ favorite movie, Lawless said.
“My clothes are not hot. Never. Never,” Jacobs told New York magazine in 2011. But not being sexy may be precisely the thing that makes his designs so.

“It’s not rocket science,” Enio Reyna -- co-owner, with Oscar Alvarado, of the new Hartsdale Auto Service – said of car repair. But for most people, a good mechanic is a must. So it should come as no surprise that the partners are seeing steady business since they leased the garage on the lip of East Hartsdale Avenue Oct. 1. (Separately, the spot includes a Mobil gas station -- where Reyna's uncle, Oswaldo Escobar, works -- with plans for a Chestnut Market.)
Location, location, location: The new business, in the Greenburgh hamlet of Hartsdale, is diagonally across from a Harlem Line Metro-North Railroad station and just feet away from the Bronx River Parkway on a part of the thoroughfare often called “Restaurant Row” that connects Greenburgh with Scarsdale.
“It’s a great location on a busy street,” said Reyna, who first encountered it as a 14 year old pumping gas at the station, which is where he fell in love with cars. “I was looking for a
shop for five years. I knew as soon as it went on the market, I was primed to get it.”
The two men, Guatemalan immigrants, bring years of experience with horse power foreign and domestic to the new venture. Alvarado spent 21 years at Lenny’s Auto Clinic in Scarsdale.
Reyna spent 15 years with BMW Service & Parts in Port Chester.
“Our goal is to fix the car right the first time and build a relationship with the client,” said Reyna, adding that this embraces everything from an oil change to an engine rebuild.
The most common problem the two see? “The ‘check engine’ light,” Alvarado said with a grin.
Ah yes, the dreaded “check engine light” prompt: Sometimes it’s the death knell for a car as an engine rebuild can cost more than the vehicle is worth. Reyna encountered just such a challenge when a woman brought in a BMW 550I stick shift, worth about $9,000. The engine rebuild came in at $8,000. But the car had belonged to her late husband. She couldn’t part
with it. So Reyna rebuilt the engine. He came to this country in 2002 at age 14, graduated from New Rochelle High School and went on to a 14-month program with Lincoln Tech. Alvarado got all his training in Guatemala, arriving here in 2003 at age 26. The two men knew each other in their native country and have continued the relationship in New Rochelle, where they live. “We’re family,” Reyna said, adding that he also learned about cars from the senior Alvarado.
During those years, cars have become more sophisticated, with many computerized safety and convenience features, even in some cases driving themselves. Reyna said the pair are constantly upgrading their skills to keep up with the improvements and enhancements, making use of the latest diagnostic equipment.
Hey, it may not be rocket science to them, but to the rest of us, it practically is.
