Lex Products enters new phase as Lex Innovations

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

SHELTON – Electric distribution manufacturer and supplier Lex Products took two major steps in its history Monday as it officially opened its new corporate headquarters. And it unveiled its new name – Lex Innovations.

The Shelton company that provides power distribution and emerging energy storage solutions for industrial, entertainment and military markets opened its newly built corporate headquarters next to its 60,000-square-foot distribution center at Forest Parkway with Gov. Ned Lamont and Mayor Mark Lauretti on hand.

“Today marks another step in the reawakening of Lex here in Connecticut and also in our operations in Davie, Florida, and also in Pacioma, California,” said Lex Innovations CEO Jim Binch. “Beginning two years ago, we committed ourselves as a unified team to streamline, massively improve our internal systems, pay renewed attention to first pass yields and overall quality to find a path to revolutionize the state of portable and temporary power distribution. “With the introduction of the company’s new far higher amperage solutions combined with onboard intelligence, Lex has become a leader in providing intelligent power distribution and emerging necessity pointing to the dramatic increases in electricity prices and with a concurrent need to reduce our carbon footprint.”

He pointed out how the company with more than 120 employees listened to users of such products as its outdoor power rack that distributes power from a generator for such events as concerts and sporting events and concurrently applied state-of-theart know how as it has evolved.

The company’s latest expansion comes after Lex Products opened a world class distribution center in 2010 at 15 Progress Drive before moving to its current site at 15 Forest

Parkway. The manufacturer of portable power systems started out in 1989 in Stamford when Bob Luthor started the company that serves the industrial, defense, and entertainment markets.

Mayor Lauretti thinks of Lex Innovations as an example of a Shelton company that has planted its roots in the city with the expectation to stay around for a long time.

“We are witnessing the innovations and the entrepreneurial spirit of what Connecticut has to offer,” Lauretti said. “Making Shelton its home for so many years has been in a real milestone for us.

“I want to recognize Bob Luthor, who is here. I met him back in 2010 at his opening at other location. That’s always been a goal for us in Shelton. Once we get you here, we want to keep you here. What businesses do for our community and state is incredible. So, we grow together. Your success is our success.”

Gov. Lamont harkened back to the days when he headed up Lamont Digital Systems and Campus Televideo as he related to the pressures a company like Lex faces.

“I feel kind of right at home hearing about what you do,” he said. “You specialize in portable power, very specific, very customized to unique needs. You have some very amazing clients. And you can’t afford to fail. You have everything from the Taylor Swift concert to Army and Marines and portable work for the infrastructure and such.

“Before I did this current thing I’m doing now, we used to do build very customized communications systems, Jim (Binch). I remember we had sort of some of the same pressure. We had probably one of the more high profile ones. We had the presidential debate at Hofstra University on Long Island. And they said, Ned, we got to get this right. I want double redundancy. If the lights go out or the TV goes out, that’s all they will

ever know about Hofstra for the next 100 years.”

Lamont called Lex Innovations an example of a company that makes up the economic engine of this state. “It’s companies this size that find a niche market, grow and expand from there,” he added.

He even recited the company’s motto: “Lex We Can.” It’s an acronym that stands for Wellness, Excellence, Continuous Improvement, Accountability and Neighborly.w

The essential role of a health plan in Connecticut

By Lou Gianquinto, President, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Connecticut

When families face a cancer diagnosis, mental health crisis, or any unexpected change in their health, the last thing they should worry about is navigating a complicated healthcare system. But for many, that’s exactly what they face. Complex benefits, rising out-of-pocket costs, and uncertainty about where to turn add stress to already difficult moments. Families are frustrated by rising premiums and costs –and they want solutions. At Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, we believe health plans have a responsibility to help keep coverage dependable and accessible when people need care.

People today expect more from their health plan – they want support that makes healthcare easier to understand, easier to afford, and easier to use. Our role is clear: we advocate on behalf of our members, help people navigate care with confidence, and ensure access to high-quality care when it matters most. These are the standards we are committed to delivering in Connecticut.

Simplifying the healthcare experience

Healthcare has become increasingly complex. Our job is to simplify it by helping members understand their coverage, what care will cost, and how to find the right provider. Without clarity, these factors often lead to confusion, delays, or unnecessary costs.

Tools like Anthem’s Sydney Health app bring benefits, in-network providers, cost estimates, and care navigation together in one place. Its ease of use, combined with new AI-powered features, helps members save time, make informed decisions, and find the right care faster. Members who use the app save an average of $185 annually because they can compare care options.

Lowering the cost of care for families

The U.S. now spends more than $5 trillion a year on healthcare, and costs are accelerating. Hospital spending increased by nearly 10 percent in both 2023 and 2024 –the fastest growth in more than three decades, outpacing inflation and wage growth. Prescription drug spending rose nearly 8 percent in 2024 and now represents roughly one-quarter of what employers spend on healthcare. It’s important to understand what drives those costs. Premium rates are based on the expected cost of medical and pharmacy care and how often services are used. In that sense, premiums aren’t a prepayment for routine care – they’re protection against large, unexpected medical bills when serious illness or injury occurs. Premiums are tied to the actual cost and amount of care people receive, and by law, 80-85 percent of every premium dollar must go directly toward medical care or be returned to consumers.

We’re also shifting care to more affordable settings, such as virtual visits and community-based providers, to reduce avoidable emergency room visits and hospi-

talizations. We work with providers to reward better health outcomes rather than more services. These approaches drive long-term improvements in quality care, patient experiences, and lower care costs.

Providing personal support when needs are complex

Quality healthcare requires more than coverage; it requires personal care. When someone is managing a chronic condition, juggling multiple appointments, or facing a new health concern, they often need help from someone who understands the system.

Care managers help members understand their benefits, coordinate appointments, and connect with community resources. One member’s experience shows the impact: when a pregnant woman noticed a concerning lump, she contacted her care manager, who helped her understand her coverage, coordinated a biopsy, and connected her with local support for food, diapers, and other essentials. That’s the whole-person support families should expect. In Connecticut, our care managers also help members access available resources that support complex care, chronic condition management, prescription drug affordability, and more.

We work closely with high-quality care providers to ensure care is coordinated, evidence-based, and focused on better outcomes. Our Community Pharmacy Total

Care program, for example, pairs members with more complex health needs with independent pharmacists who take the time to review medications, sync refills, arrange free home delivery, and prepare easy to follow packaging instructions. This hands-on approach makes staying healthy easier and helps members manage medications with confidence.

The path forward

Healthcare will continue to evolve, and health plans must evolve with it. Our commitment is simple:

• Make healthcare easier to understand through clear information and easy-to-use tools that guide decision-making.

• Make healthcare more affordable by addressing the drivers of rising costs and supporting lower-cost, high-quality care.

• Make healthcare more personal by offering support that meets people where they are. When health plans, providers, and policymakers work together, families can spend less time worrying about costs and more time focusing on their health. Our commitment is to keep coverage dependable, improve affordability over time, and help people get the care they need – when they need it – across Connecticut.

As Saks Off 5th says ‘farewell,’ Neiman Marcus Westchester is spared

By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com

Saks Off 5th in Eastchester – one of the off-price arms of Saks Fifth Avenue, which opened to great fanfare on July 14, 2022 on the ground level of the former Lord & Taylor – will go the way of L & T on Saturday, March 28.

The closure, which follows the shuttering of two Saks Off 5th locations in Greenburgh and Stamford on Feb. 2, is part of Saks Global LLC’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring.

In its final weeks, the store has seen steady foot traffic, particularly at its jewelry counters where patrons sign in and wait to be called to purchase everything from Effy gemstone rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets to Versace watches. When we visited Thursday, March 26, jewelry prices were slashed 80%, with another 20% on top of that. So an Effy emerald-cut, lab-grown diamond that was originally priced at $6,000 sold for about onesixth of that. (Chemically and visually identical to mined diamonds, labgrown stones are 70% to 90% cheaper as they are mass-produced. While natural diamonds retain a 25% to 50% higher resale value, lab-grown diamonds are particularly prized by young shoppers as affordable luxury.)

As Saks Off 5th customers considered the difference, one could be heard bemoaning the loss of another off-price store to what may be a further extension of White Plains Hospital. (White Plains Hospital Physician Associates is located in the rest of the former Lord & Taylor site at 750 White Plains Post Road.)

Apart from the jewelry, there were a few racks of clothes left as well as some of the furnishings. With signs announcing that “everything must go” in traditional fire-sale fashion, one shopper joked about buying a shopping cart for remembrance.

While Saks Off 5th signs off, it turns out that reports of the death of Neiman Marcus in The Westchester mall in White Plains – to paraphrase Mark Twain’s joke about his own demise –have been greatly exaggerated.

“We are pleased to share that our Neiman Marcus Westchester store will remain open following recent productive conversations with our landlords and further evaluation," a Saks Global spokesperson announced Monday, March 23. "Our approach to optimizing our footprint remains centered on ensuring we focus our presence in markets with a high concentration of luxury shoppers where we can operate

“Everything must go.”

at an attractive level of profitability. We look forward to continuing to serve customers in the Westchester community.”

Why the about-face? Apart from the alluded-to productive talks with the Simon Property Group – which operates and co-owns The Westchester, anchored in part by the 143,000-squarefoot Neiman Marcus – there is the Saks Global strategy laid out in a recent Forbes article that suggests going forward Neiman Marcus will drive the conglomerate.

Saks Global, the name chosen after Saks acquired Neiman Marcus and sister store Bergdorf Goodman in 2024, had pared down to 13 Saks Fifth Avenue locations, including the Manhattan flagship and The Saks Shops at Greenwich; 12 Saks Off 5th locales; the Bergdorf Goodman flagship on Fifth Avenue; and 32 Neiman Marcus stores. That was before adding back Neiman Marcus Westchester and the stores in Sarasota, Florida, and Palm Desert, California.

Is former Neiman Marcus Group CEO Geoffroy van Raemdonck, called back to steer the company through bankruptcy, playing favorites? Not at all, he said. Rather, he told The Wall Street Journal, it’s all about considering which stores do best in which markets, since there is a less than 15% overlap between Neiman and Saks patrons.

“I want to operate in markets that have the most potential,” he said. Apparently, Van Raemdonck has reconsidered the potential of Westchester, which has been one of the wealthiest counties since before the American Revolution. Neiman Marcus has been a fixture here since 1981.

Recognizing all this, Saks Global has in effect said, “uh, never mind.”

Through Saturday, March 28, Sakes Off Fifth store hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Dental instruments company files for bankruptcy protection

North White Plains business seeks to reorganize

A North White Plains surgical instruments manufacturer has petitioned for bankruptcy protection citing high interest rates on loans and wasteful spending by a previous manager.

Laschal Surgical Instruments LLC declared $312,778 in assets and $481,700 in liabilities, in a Chapter 11 reorganization petition filed on March 23 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, White Plains.

Laschal is "recognized as a luxury-brand instrument provider,"

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com COURTS

CEO Daniel Lasner stated in a declaration, and is "commonly referred to by surgeons as the Rolls Royce of instruments."

Lasner's father, Dr. Jeffrey Lasner, a dentist, founded Laschal in 1978. It specializes in dental tools such as forceps, probes, and retractors, and it claims that the steel it uses is lightweight yet longer-lasting than traditional carbon steel instruments.

It leases offices in the 690 North White Professional Building on North Broadway.

Lasner attributed some of the financial woes to the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2019 the business grew by 65%, he says, but with the onset of the pandemic in 2020 revenue declined by 80%. When markets opened up in 2023, revenue reached pre-pandemic levels. But when Daniel took control in November 2024, he discovered more than $700,000 in debt, according to his declaration. He claims that prior management used the business for "personal reasons" and drove the business into financial distress by maxing out loans, lines of credit, and credit cards "with no revenue to show for it."

Lasner says he has eliminated wasteful spending, and last year Laschal turned a profit for the first time since 2019: $160,000 on $900,000 in sales. Still, the business is constrained by high interest rates and unwillingness by lenders to negotiate new terms.

Restructuring the debts in bankruptcy, Lasner says, will give the company a chance. "With appropriate debt relief, within a few short years, it is well within reason to say the company will grow rapidly and create jobs, while continuing to improve surgical outcomes."

Sen. Tony Hwang,

“After many meaningful years of public service, I have decided that the time has come to step away from state elected office and begin the next chapter of my life.”

Sen. Hwang of Fairfield announces his retirement from public office

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

— Tony Hwang

FAIRFIELD – Five-term state Sen. Tony Hwang, R-Fairfield, has announced his retirement from public office less than two months after Newtown Board of Finance member Amybeth LaRouche, R-Newtown, announced she is running for his seat.

A long-time Fairfield resident, Hwang, the Senate chief deputy Republican leader, has held the seat since 2014 and prior to that, served in the Connecticut House of Representatives. Hwang was also a member of the Fairfield Representative Town Meeting. He represents the 28th Senatorial District, which includes the towns of Bethel, Easton, Fairfield, and Newtown.

“After many meaningful years of public service, I have decided that the time has come to step away from state elected office and begin the next chapter of my life,” Hwang wrote in a press statement. “Serving the people of the 28th State Senate District has been one of the greatest honors and privileges of my life.

“Throughout my tenure in the Connecticut General Assembly, I approached this responsibility with humility and a deep respect for the institution, its traditions and the people we serve.”

He added that he is “profoundly grateful for the countless friendships and meaningful interactions with constituents, colleagues, community leaders and advocates.”

Hwang had unsuccessfully ran for Fairfield first selectperson in a special election in February against the Democrat incumbent Christine Vitale, who is filling out the term following the death of First Selectman Bill Gerber in 2025.

Senate Minority Leader Stephen Harding, R-Brookfield, issued a statement touting Hwang’s work over the past two decades.

“Tony Hwang has lived the American Dream,” Harding said. “Tony loves America and he loves Connecticut. His dedication to the people of his district is second to none, as is his work ethic. He put people before politics. He worked in bipartisan fashion. After nearly 18 years in the state legislature, he is starting a new chapter. His public service has had a positive impact on so many lives, and

I know Tony will continue to find ways to serve his community and give back.”

Hwang serves as the ranking member of the Transportation and Insurance and Real Estate committees. He is a member of the Planning and Development Committee and the Finance Revenue and Bonding Committee. He is the ranking member of the Bonding Subcommittee of the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee, and serves as co-chair of the legislature’s bipartisan Bioscience Caucus.

Previously, Hwang served as vice chair of the Aging and Energy and

Technology committees and ranking member of the Housing, Higher Education, Public Health, Planning & Development, and Public Safety and Security committees.

Born in Taiwan to parents who fled Communist China, Hwang came to America as a young child and was raised with the values of hard work, education, and opportunity.

His service to Fairfield began in 2005, when a local education issue inspired him to run for the RTM.

In 2014 Tony became the first Asian-Pacific American State Senator in Connecticut history. In that year, he received the Legislative Champion Award from the Connecticut Alliance of YMCAs for his commitment to

strengthening communities, youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

In his retirement statement, Hwang cited the “emotional and political polarization – and a troubling erosion of civility in public discourse” but that he remains inspired by the generosity, dedication and civic spirit of those across the towns he served.

“Personally, I look forward to spending more time with my loving wife and our adult children, who sacrificed so much to allow me the privilege of serving,” he added. “I will also return to my real estate profession while seeking opportunities to teach and mentor young leaders.”

CT Sun to ‘set’

after this

season

UNCASVILLE – The Houston Rockets owner Tilman Fertitta’s company, Fertitta Entertainment, has reached an agreement with the Mohegan Tribe to purchase the Connecticut Sun WNBA franchise, pending league approval.

The announcement made by Mohegan and Fertitta confirmed what had been rumored for months after the Mohegan Tribe announced the team was for sale. The franchise, which will revert back to the Houston Comets name, is expected to begin play at Toyota Center for the start of the 2027 WNBA season.

“My family and I are thrilled for the opportunity to bring the Houston Comets back to this incredible city,” said Rockets Alternate Governor Patrick Fertitta.

“Houston has a proud championship history in the WNBA, with banners from the Comets’ four historic championship seasons still hanging in the rafters of Toyota Cen-

ter. We believe the time is right to begin the next great era of Comets basketball, and we look forward to working with the WNBA as we move through this process.”

More than two decades ago, the Mohegan Tribe became the first independent owner in the WNBA — a reflection of Mohegan’s forward-looking vision to bring a professional women’s basketball team to our reservation.

Twenty-three years ago, the tribe purchased and relocated the defunct Orlando Miracle.

“Mohegan owes an enormous amount of gratitude first and foremost to our extraordinary fans cheering on the team for 23 incredible seasons,” said Joe Soper, Corresponding Secretary for the Mohegan Tribal Council.

“This team — and what the talented women who have worn this uniform over the years have meant to Mohegan Sun, our region and the impact they’ve made both on and off the court, has been nothing short of remarkable.

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

That includes the dedication of our front office and the invaluable collaboration and support we’ve received from the State of Connecticut, as well as from businesses and other community partners across the region and beyond.”

Jen Rizzotti, Connecticut Sun President and UConn national champion player, recognized the loss of the only sustaining major league professional team in the state.

“The Connecticut Sun organization understands how emotional this moment is for our fans and community,” she said. “You have made a home for this franchise for generations, and we are grateful for the passion and support that made us a cornerstone team in the WNBA. While the league continues to grow and evolve, our commitment is to honor this legacy—and finishing this final season together with pride.”

For the 2026 WNBA season, Mohegan Sun Arena remains home for the Connecticut Sun. The Sun will also for the first time bring WNBA action to Hartford this season, playing two regular season games at Peoples-

Bank Arena. A game in Boston at TD Garden is also planned for Tuesday, Aug. 18.

Meanwhile, the Comets fans will get their team back after folding in 2008 due to financial troubles.

“This is an exciting time for our organization as we welcome the WNBA back to the City of Houston and revive the legacy of the Comets,” said President of Business Operations Gretchen Sheirr. "The momentum and enthusiasm have been evident through the overwhelming interest from fans and the business community, all eager to support the return of this franchise.”

— Patrick Fertitta

The Houston Comets were one of the WNBA’s original eight franchises and established themselves as one of the greatest dynasties in sports by winning the league’s first four championships. Over 12 seasons of operation from 1997-2008, the Comets made nine playoff appearances and were home to several legends, including Hall of Famers Cynthia Cooper, Sheryl Swoopes, Tina Thompson, and former head coach Van Chancellor.

Former Oakledge Mansion listed for $14M

Houlihan Lawrence has listed the former Oakledge Mansion, an 11,000-square-foot Bronxville home at 5 Oakledge Road, for $14 million.

The property, which was featured in Elle Décor, was originally built in 1870 for Bronxville magnate John Masterton by his father Alexander Masterton, reimagined by Lewis Bowman, and recently transformed by acclaimed architect Boris Baranovich. It includes six bedrooms, six full baths, four powder rooms, multiple fireplaces, and a lower level with a climate-controlled wine cellar, gym, and creative studio.

According to the Bronxville Historical Conservancy, in 1884 Masterton was arrested and soon lost his house and all his assets for using depositors’ money for speculating in mining stocks. Later owners, generous philanthropists, became well-known for lending the house to the community’s Red Cross chapter to do war

work both before and during World War II.

As a result of a fire in the 1920s, architect Lewis Bowman did a massive reconstruction and changed the look of the house. The original three-story, plain, square, stone construction (with walls nearly 18 inches thick), had a mansard roof with dormers and a first-floor columned porch that surrounded the house.

Today’s interiors were designed by the world-renowned designer Steven Gambrel.

Known for its privacy and beautifully landscaped grounds, the award-winning landscape architect James Doyle designed the property that blends historic pedigree with refined modern living.

The village of Bronxville last assessed the property’s value at $10,500,000 in 2025, according to Houlihan Lawrence. The annual taxes on the property is $220,524.

Young entrepreneur launches Professor Detail Auto Care

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

A North Salem High School and Pace University graduate has officially launched Professor Detail Auto Care, a premium mobile auto detailing business serving customers throughout the Hudson Valley.

With artificial intelligence (AI) reshaping the global workforce, 23 -year-old entrepreneur Peter Rossi

chose to step away from a traditional white-collar career in marketing to pursue a skilled trade he believes is nearly impossible to automate: professional auto detailing. Rossi’s decision reflects a broader Gen Z shift toward trade work.

According to a recent ResumeBuilder survey, 42% of Gen Z respondents are currently working in or pursuing a skilled trade, with

“AI is fundamentally changing how Gen Z views their longterm careers.”

more than one-third holding bachelor’s degrees. A separate survey by Zety found that 65% of young workers believe a college degree won’t protect them from AI-related job loss.

“AI is fundamentally changing how Gen Z views their long-term careers,” Rossi said. “Every decision now ends with, ‘Will this line of work still exist a decade from now?’

— Peter Rossi

“No algorithm can feel the difference between a paint imperfection and a clearcoat surface, or know when you’re applying too much pressure with a buffer. This work requires a human touch, judgment, and years of skill development.”

Professor Detail Auto Care offers auto care delivered directly to customers’ homes or workplaces. Services include interior and exterior detailing, paint correction, and ceramic coatings. Operating as a fully mobile service eliminates the inconvenience of traditional detailing shops while delivering professional-grade results.

Rossi has designed and built a fully mobile workshop inside a Chevy Express cargo van. The van is equipped with a 75-gallon water tank, a water

filter, full plumbing, an air compressor and a 3,500-watt generator. These features are designed to make the car wash process as seamless and convenient as possible for customers.

Built on Rossi’s lifelong passion for cars, Professor Detail Auto Care prides itself on restoring vehicles to showroom condition while ensuring every service is performed safely and correctly, without compromising the integrity of the vehicle.

While attending Pace University, he launched Pete’s Sac-O-Suds Mobile Car Detailing, which built a loyal local following through community Facebook groups in Katonah and Lewisboro. Rossi graduated from Pace University Summa Cum Laude and worked for a marketing agency in New York City for one year before returning to his passion for auto detailing.

“The feeling of building something of your own is just so fulfilling,” he said. “Waking up every day knowing that every decision made, you are in total control of. I have always wanted to pursue a career in the automotive industry. I love cars. Always have. And always will.”

Tesla claims right to install charging stations in Yonkers

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

Tesla Inc. claims that the City of Yonkers is unlawfully stopping it from installing electric vehicle charging stations.

The Austin, Texas carmaker petitioned Westchester Supreme Court on March 12 to compel the city to allow installation of 16 charging stations at ACME shopping center, McLean and Central Park avenues near the Yonkers - Bronx border.

The Yonkers Planning Board "acted arbitrarily and capriciously" in denying approval of a site plan and special use permit, the complaint states, "in that it allowed itself to be swayed by community pressure which was unsupported by any professional opinions or testimony."

Yonkers enacted regulations in 2024 encouraging installation of charging stations to "promote ... the use of electric vehicles." The stations could be installed in any zoning districts, with a building permit, an electrical permit, and in some cases a site plan, according to Tesla's petition. The city law also requires a special use permit for motor vehicle use -such as repair shops and car sales -between midnight and 6 a.m.

The city planning department told Tesla that it needed a special use permit because the chargers would operate 24 hours a day.

Tesla contends that the Level 3

superchargers it wants to install do not require a site plan or special use permit. "Nevertheless," last July, it "filed the application and sought planning board approval."

Tesla presented its plans at public meetings last October and November.

Three neighbors who live across the street from the plaza cited concerns about potential noise, loitering, car music, arguments, and police activity.

Tesla representatives said the charging stations are quiet, security cameras could be installed, cars that idle too long are charged a fee that discourages loitering, and there is ample room for the charging stations.

On Nov. 12, the planning board unanimously denied approval for a site plan and special use permit. The board's resolution noted that the proposed location is about 130 feet from houses and apartments. "Having the charging stations open and operational to the public 24 hours a day would produce an undue nuisance and negatively impact the residential land uses in the surrounding areas."

Tesla argues that city law does not require a site plan review or special use permit for charging stations, therefore the planning board had no jurisdiction. And it argues that no evidence supported the planning board's decision.

City spokesperson Christina Gilmartin did not reply to an email asking for the Yonkers' response to the allegations.

Walden village manager indicted for tax evasion

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A Walden lawyer who also serves as the village manager and as a member of the Orange County Legislature has been indicted for allegedly cheating on his taxes.

A federal grand jury charged John J. Revella of subscribing to false tax returns for four years, March 19 in U.S. District Court in White Plains. "Revella falsely and fraudulently omitted revenue he received from his law practice," the indictment states, "thereby substantially understating his tax liabilities."

Revella, who was licensed to practice law in New York in 2008, runs

a solo practice that focuses mainly on immigration and real estate, according to a profile on the village's website.

From 2018 to 2022, Revella allegedly cashed about 1,700 checks totaling about $1.1 million, from the firm's client trust account.

He reported $109,150 in income from his law practice, for tax years 2019 through 2022, but failed to report $1,076,832, according to the indictment, thus underpaying federal taxes by $383,322.

Revella did not reply to an email asking for his response to the allegations. He pleaded not guilty at a March 25 arraignment.

“He

reported $109,150 in income … but failed to report $1,076,832."

Dick’s opens at Hudson Valley Plaza

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Dick’s Sporting Goods has opened in a new location in the Hudson Valley Plaza in Kingston. The retailer, which had been at the Hudson Valley Mall, has moved to its new location that covers 52,832 square feet.

In May of 2024, the Town of Ulster’s Planning Board approved a site plan amendment allowing Dick’s to convert the space, which then was vacant and had been occupied by Gander Mountain, for its use. Gander Mountain specialized in hunting, fishing and other outdoor gear.

The owner of Hudson Valley Plaza, MCB Real Estate, which is based in Baltimore, characterized Dick’s as an exciting addition to the shopping center that covers 673,000-square-feet and features such national names as Walmart, Lowe’s, Sam’s Club, and PetSmart.

"Much of MCB Real Estate’s retail success is driven by a disciplined ap -

proach to pairing national brands with the needs of the surrounding community," said MCB Principal Drew Gorman. "We don't just fill space but create a total shopping experience. By selecting retailers that resonate with the local demographic and strategically complement our existing anchors, we maximize asset velocity and create a destination that truly serves the consumer and provides long-term property stability.”

MCB says that it now manages 22 million square feet of real estate worth $4 billion. Its properties include those in the retail, mixed-use, multifamily, industrial, office and health care fields.

MCB expects that the addition of Dick’s Sporting Goods will further strengthen traffic at the Hudson Valley Plaza and have a positive economic impact on the Kingston area and the population of 57,356 located within 15 minutes of the center.

Westchester County population has highest increase in state

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

Westchester County’s population experienced the largest numeric population increase in New York state between 2024 and 2025, according to new population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau. It has reached 1,015,743 residents, marking an increase of 6,578 people in just one year – the highest population ever recorded for the county.

“People are choosing Westchester – not just to visit, but to live, build families and invest in their future,” said County Executive Ken Jenkins. “When we create housing opportunities and vibrant neighborhoods, people come – and they stay. This jump underscores the county’s continued growth and strength as a place to live, work and raise a family.”

Overall, the County’s population is now approximately 1.1% higher than

its 2020 Census count, signaling sustained growth over the past five years. In April 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau reported that the county surpassed the million mark. In the 2020 census, Westchester’s population came in 1,004,457, an increase of 55,344 or 5.8% from 949,113 in 2010.

The population increase comes at a time when many counties across the state have experienced declines. Recent data shows that 24 counties gained population while 38 lost residents.

By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com

We were chatting in the music studio of Mary Mancini and husband Mario Tacca’s Cortlandt Manor home, but we might as well have been at a café on Paris’ Left Bank.

Tacca and Don Gerundo were playing an impromptu accordion duet of “Quando, Quando, Quando,” which they would follow up with “Under the Sky of Paris.” In between, they accompanied Mancini as she paid tribute to chanteuse Edith Piaf by singing two numbers she made famous – “Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien” and “La Vie En Rose.” Such is the power of music to transport you to any time anywhere.

We expect there will be more transporting when the three take part in “An Accordion Extravaganza!”, presented by The American Accordionists’ Association at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, April 26, at Crystal Hall in Yorktown Heights. Gerundo and Tacca are among the 70 members of the 88-year-old organization, with Gerundo, a New Rochelle resident, serving as president and Tacca, a past vice president, receiving the AAA’s Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016. The association consists of professional and avocational musicians, primarily on the East Coast.

The first half of the concert will spotlight the Connecticut Accordion Orchestra, in which Gerundo plays, conducted by Peter Peluso. (Marilyn O’Neill serves as director.) The second half will feature Tacca; fellow accordionists Beverly Roberts Curnow, Kevin Friedrich, who will also serve as master of ceremonies, and Alex Chudolij; bassist David Grego; and trumpeter Peter Blume. Mancini will close out the show with a patriotic medley.

The afternoon will be an opportunity to get to know a perhaps surprisingly versatile instrument that has played a distinctive role in American culture and history, Gerundo said.

Believed to have been invented in early 19th-century Germany, the accordion is part of the free reed aerophone family of instruments – famous relatives include the harmonica and the concertina – in which sound vibrates as air flows past a reed in the frame. The accordion is driven by a bellows that the musician compresses and expands, playing the melody on a right-hand keyboard or buttons and the accompaniment on the left-hand buttons.

This duality gives the accordion a complexity like no other instrument except for the organ. (It’s telling that Tacca, who also plays the piano, is not only an accordionist but principal organist at Church of the Assumption in Peekskill where Mancini serves as principal cantor and music coordinator. Once when he was having trouble with the organ, he said, he was able to continue the liturgical music using his accordion.)

“You hear the instrument, and it’s so full,” Gerundo added. “The melody sings. It sounds like a full orchestra.”

That would explain the accordion’s adaptability to virtually any kind of music. It’s hard to beat an orchestra sound that you can pack into 12 to 20 pounds, which is what an accordion can weigh. (Costs range from $300 for a beginner’s model to more than $10,000 for certain professional instruments.) But hand in hand with that versatility is the immigrant story. The accordion spread throughout Europe, then went wherever Europeans went, including the Americas.

Those of a certain vintage will remember Lawrence Welk (1903-92), who grew up on a farm in the German-speaking community of Strasburg, North Dakota, and parlayed a $400 investment in an accordion (more than $6,500 today) into a career as an accordionist, bandleader and host of “The

Lawrence Welk Show,” which aired from 1951 to’82. Among his featured performers was accordionist Myron Floren (1909-2005), Welk’s right-hand man, whose photograph hangs in Mancini and Tacca’s paneled studio. Tacca once substituted for Floren in a concert at the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, New Jersey.

Back in the 1940s and ’50s, Tacca said, the accordion was associated with waltzes and polkas. Today it moves to a variety of beats, from classical to jazz, Latin American music and Zydeco, the high-energy hybrid of Cajun and Creole Louisiana. Famous accordionists include Ukrainian classical specialist Alexandr Htustevich, French jazzman Richard Galliano, Mexican Norteño Grammy Award winner Ramon Ayala, Finnish folkie Sam Perttula, Celtic creative Tadhg Ó Meachair, French-German composer Lydia Auvray and, of course, “Weird Al” Yankovic.

Like those listed above, Gerundo, Mancini and Tacca earn their livings as musicians – no small feat since only 10% or less of musicians do.

Gerundo began playing at age 5 when he saw a little girl in his kindergarten class at Hamilton School in Mount Vernon and was smitten – with her accordion. He plays accordion and piano in the metro area, ranging from the standards in the Great American Songbook to jazz and rock ’n’ roll. Increasingly, he’s used Finale (music notation software) for compositions, arrangements, transpositions, workshops, demonstrations and classes.

A coloratura soprano – possessing the highest and most agile female vocal range – Mancini was born and raised in Peekskill where she began singing at Assumption Church at age 10. Her coaches included Carolina Segrera Holden, Luciano Pavarotti’s teacher in the United States. Mancini’s versatility is such that she sings in eight languages applied to repertoire that embraces everything from opera to sacred music to pop.

Tacca was born in the Abruzzo region of southern Italy and raised there and in Paris, continuing his music education when he came to the United States at age 12. Among the competitions he won was the International

“The love of what we do sustains us. When we make music, it’s a joy, and it makes other people happy.” — Mary Mancini

and have been making music together for a half-century across the globe, from local restaurants and East Coast resorts to symphony halls in China, sharing the bill with such performers as Paul Anka, Bobby Rydell and Jerry Vale. In addition, Mancini and Tacca have formed the Hudson Valley Accordion Ensemble of eight accordions, guitar and drums and recorded 10 CDs. They also operate the Tacca Music Teaching and Recording Studio.

For the couple and for Gerundo, music isn’t just a career; it’s a passion. Mancini told us two stories about that passion. Once in Assumption, she let slip a piece of sheet music that wafted down to the congregation. A woman who had just lost her husband, found it and, reading the words, later told Mancini that it was a message from above – and she didn’t mean the choir loft.

Every six weeks, Mancini went on, she and Tacca perform at Rini’s Restaurant & Wine Bar in Elmsford where visitor Haley Horner – a 16-year-old art competition winner from South Carolina – was so moved that she sent the couple a card with her pencil drawing of them.

“The love of what we do sustains us,” Mancini said. “When we make music, it’s a joy, and it makes other people happy.”

“An Accordion Extravaganza!” takes place 2:30 p.m. Sunday, April 26, at Crystal Hall, 34 Hillandale Road, Yorktown Heights. For tickets ($45) and more, contact this email.

Drew Barrymore lists Harrison home that lets nature in

By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com

It’s not surprising that Drew Barrymore would buy and refurbish a 1747 house in Harrison.

The Barrymore name itself is historic. The actress, producer and talk-show host (CBS’ “The Drew Barrymore Show”) is the granddaughter of Broadway and Hollywood legend John Barrymore and grandniece of his acting siblings, Lionel and Ethel Barrymore. (Drew’s parents, John Drew Barrymore and wife Jaid, were also actors.)

That legacy was key to the Harrison purchase. With New York City –where her hit daytime series has been renewed for 2027-28 – as her primary residence, the California native told Rue magazine that she “had the urge to find nature.” And find it she did on nearly 12 acres at 19 Winfield Ave.

The 7,274-square-foot main house

blends the colonial past with Barrymore’s passion for interior design. As you enter the home, you are greeted by a chalet-inspired foyer with a limestone fireplace that sets the tone for the space. The floor plan allows for flow among the kitchen, dining room, sitting room, conservatory, family room, living room and other spaces, all enhanced by multiple fireplaces. It’s a home that lets the outdoors in, perhaps never more so than in the great room, with its 30-foot ceiling, walls wrapped in windows and floor-to-ceiling doors.

The primary suite is a hideaway with a sitting room, walk-in closet, two bathrooms, a Juliet balcony and a large picture window that frames the property, filling it with natural light. Additionally, there are three family bedrooms, two bathrooms and a finished, livable attic. (The

CONSTRUCTION

house has six bedrooms and nine bathrooms in all.)

Beyond the main house, you’ll find a finished pool house and a separate guest cottage. The pool house offers a spa-like refuge with a living room, bedroom, full bath, soaking tub overlooking the grounds, laundry and full kitchen. The guest cottage is another retreat with a loft, living room, full bath and kitchen. All of these look out onto a landscape of large level lots and wooded areas. The free-form Gunite heated pool is surrounded by wildflower gardens. Rue magazine describes the house as being in “upstate New York.” Well, maybe it just feels like that.

The house lists for $4,995,000. For more, contact Compass’ Kori Sassower at 914-727-0169 or email kori.sassower@compass.com.

Condo building proposed for North Broadway in White Plains

A proposal to construct a 12-unit condominium building on a 0.48-acre site at 510 North Broadway in White Plains has been submitted by developers Eric Abraham and Charles Raspler. They are principals of Comstock Residential Contracting based in Purchase.

The company says that since its founding in 1994, it has “built, renovated, remodeled and restored hundreds of homes in Westchester and Southern Fairfield counties. As our project sizes has grown over the years we have made the strategic decision to keep our company relatively small to provide a level of service and project oversight by our principals which sets us apart from our competition.”

According to Attorney Steven Wrabel of the White Plains-based law firm McCullough, Goldberger & Staudt,

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

LLP, the new building would be three stories in height. It would have parking underneath along with additional at-grade parking in the back to provide 25 spaces, one more than required under zoning. There would be 12 spaces in the garage as well as one space there for handicapped parking.

Wrabel said that the project would take steps to mitigate flooding problems with a new stormwater system. In addition, the building would have rooftop amenities for residents and solar panels. In addition, there would be new landscaping.

The site now has on it a vacant office building that previously had been a residence. The structure would be demolished to make way for the proposed building.

Architect Gregg DeAngelis explained that there would be four units on each

floor with each having three bedrooms and two baths and sized at approximately 1,600 to 1,700 square feet each.

“We did get a variance from the Zoning Board to increase the height 3.7-feet ... to get some better ceiling heights in the units for marketability,” DeAngelis said. “It’s close to the North White Plains train station so it’s very convenient.”

DeAngelis said there is the required 10-feet buffer along the front and rear

of the site. He said the developers plan to work out an easement with a neighbor that will allow the neighbor to keep using an existing driveway that is partially on the development's property. He said that the planned rooftop deck is designed to have minimal impact on the neighbors and there will be plentiful plantings to provide screening for the neighbors.

Joseph Riina of Site Design Consultants said that stormwater currently drains from east to west through the back of the site for the proposed development and causes flooding of adjoining properties. He said that new piping and a subsurface detention system would mitigate any increase in stormwater attributable to the new building while relieving an existing flooding problem.

Wrabel said that the city does not require any of the units to be priced as affordable housing since they are condominiums and not rental apartments.

Eye on Small Business –travel writer, and Paris Baguette Hartsdale team leader, Aferdita Boga

By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

“Baking is both art and science,” said Aferdita “Day” Boga, a Hartsdale-based travel writer who also works as a team leader in the Hartsdale franchise of the hugely popular Paris Baguette group.

The Albania-born Boga originally came to the United States to promote Albanian tourism and culture, she told the Westfair Business Journal.

She has written two best-selling books about her country and, in collaboration with her husband, Cafo Boga, has published a new, expanded guide to Albania.

As financial factors and personal circumstances steer folks towards jobs and careers that may not have been their original choice or intention, Boga’s particular story resonated with “Eye on Small Business,” because it demonstrates how two seemingly disparate career trajectories can combine.

Indeed, taking employment at Paris Baguette was not a random choice but more of a considered progression. Boga had started developing an interest in the food industry in her high school days in Tirana, the capital of Albania. After graduating, she pursued a degree in food engineering.

“In many ways, working in patisserie retail is a natural extension of my academic background,” she explained. “Today, I am happy to be part of Paris Baguette, even though my professional journey later expanded into the tourism industry. Now I am trying to bring those two worlds –food and travel – together.”

Boga reflected how her education helps her understand process control, ingredient integrity and operational standards at a deeper level. Looking at her writing career, she said that producing such in-depth works required extensive field research – and that research had taught her discipline, attention to detail, documentation skills and the importance of authenticity. Those are qualities, she said, she now uses daily in management, communication and customer engagement.

“The most useful skills from my background?

Systems thinking, discipline, communication and problem-solving,” she added.

Instead of carping that her original writing career has not been one she has been able to follow exclusively, she said that her position as a team leader suits her current needs well, adding that she believes she is ready to assume greater responsibility in the food/ restaurant industry when the opportunity arises. Meanwhile, one line of work does not preclude the other, and Boga said that she and her husband continue developing their publishing and cultural projects.

And instead of finding any incongruity with “wearing her two hats,” Boga was enthusiastic about the interconnectivity. She explained how she had grown up with Albania’s simple but deeply flavorful Mediterranean cuisine at a time when agriculture was largely clean and based on local cultivars adapted to specific regions.

“The connection I feel with Par-

“Combining our interests in food, culture, and travel feels like a natural next step. After all, what could be better than traveling the world and savoring its culinary traditions?”

— Blerina Boga

is Baguette lies in the emphasis on quality ingredients and professional techniques. The company combines high quality ingredients with advanced baking methods. My appreciation for ingredient integrity and freshness is something that naturally aligns with their standards.”

Despite the name, Paris Baguette is not only about bread. It offers pastries, cakes, gourmet sandwiches and an extensive coffee and tea bar. Boga said that some customers will drive the best part of an hour just for coffee and pastry, which gives you some idea of the quality and appeal of the product, including an espresso menu that changes seasonally and for holidays.

And of course, Paris Baguette is not “Parisian” either, but rather a successful South Korean franchise operation – founded in 1988 by the SPC Group – that as of December 2024 numbered more than 3,700 retail stores at home, with 200-plus across the United States and more than 10 in Canada.

In Hartsdale, her direct responsibilities include ensuring the store and her shift team operate smoothly. She said she emphasizes teamwork, accountability and customer satisfaction. During peak hours, the team focuses on preparation, continuous restocking and communication. Training is largely on-the-job, she said, and she constantly reminds her team that customer service must remain a priority – even in stressful moments.

As for her own personal goals, again the distinct “hats” she wears are not exclusive but complementary, or at least she manages to make them so.

“(My husband and I) are currently working on another book about Albania and the Balkans,” she said, “(while) also exploring the idea of launching something food-related – perhaps a magazine or digital portal. Food and travel are passions we share deeply.

“Combining our interests in food, culture, and travel feels like a natural next step,” she concluded. “After all, what could be better than traveling the world and savoring its culinary traditions?”

Westchester and Fairfield residents join in global 'No Kings' protests

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Many residents of Westchester and Fairfield were among the millions of people taking part in the March 28 "No Kings" demonstrations. The demonstrations were designed to show displeasure with President Donald Trump's policies, the higher costs of living since Trump took office, the activities of ICE agents including the killing of two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis, and Trump's war against Iran among other issues of the day.

Among the "No Kings" rallies in Westchester were those at: Bloomingdale Road in White Plains in front of the Bloomingdale's department store and the Waterstone senior living complex; at St. Paul's Church in Mount Vernon; at Harbor Island Park in Mamaroneck, at Hudson Fulton Memorial Park in Hastings-on-Hudson and Veterans Memorial Park in Yonkers; at Town Hall in Greenburgh; at Pierson Park in Tarrytown; and at Village Hall in Mount Kisco. In

Connecticut, demonstrations included those at the Board of Education headquarters in Greenwich; and in Stamford and Norwalk, and at the Ash Creek Bridge in Fairfield.

According to Public Citizen, at least 8 million people took part in some 3,300 “No Kings” rallies Saturday, spanning every continent on Earth. Public Citizen

Co-President Robert Weissman addressed the crowd of over 200,000 people at the flagship “No Kings” rally in St. Paul, Minnesota. Texas, Florida and Ohio each had more than 100 events scheduled for Saturday. The flagship rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul had at least 100,000 attending with featured performances by singers Joan Baez and Bruce Springstein as well as an appearance by Jane Fonda and Minnesota Gov. Tim Waltz, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. It was the largest single day of protest in American history.

More than 3,100 rallies has been planned for March 28 in the U.S., with others taking place in major cities overseas. Two-thirds of the people who had registered for one of the events live outside of major urban centers, up nearly 40% compared with the first "No Kings" event in June 2025. The No Kings Coalition that was a central organizer of the events sponsored by a variety of groups said almost half of the demonstrations were in either a Republican state or a state that is in play. In all, there were about 30 events scheduled for the Hudson Valley, ranging from Nyack, Beacon, Newburgh and Poughkeepsie to Middletown in Orange County. At the state capital in Hartford, a large gathering took place that featured speeches by Gov. Ned Lamont, Attorney General William Tong and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal. There were also rallies and a march in New Haven on the green not too far from Yale University that drew hundreds of people.

Accountant demands accounting of Harrison CPA firm

A Westchester accountant wants a judge to make his former CPA firm appoint an independent accountant to conduct a full accounting of the business.

Larry Holzberg claims that Band Rosenbaum & Martin P.C. and co-owners Hal and Scott Martin have refused to buy out his one-third share of the firm or pay his portion of revenues, in a complaint filed on March 24 in Westchester Supreme Court. Despite "persistent efforts to reach a reasonable resolution," Holzberg says, his partners have "delayed and obfuscated" and deprived him of remuneration "to which he is entitled."

Defense attorney Julie Pechersky Plitt stated in an email that Holzberg "is well aware that this lawsuit is completely without merit and frivolous."

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com COURTS

BRM, as the firm is called, is based in Harrison.

Holzberg was licensed as a certified public accountant in 1983, joined BRM in 1986, and became a shareholder in 1991, according to the complaint. He holds 33.3% of the shares, Scott Martin, of Fountain Hills, Arizona holds 46.7%, and Hal Martin, of Scarsdale, holds 20%.

Holzberg says he decided to pursue other opportunities in May 2023, and all agreed that he would continue working through September 2023, the end of the fiscal year.

The Martins agreed to redeem his shares, according to Holzberg, and compensate him for work in progress and accounts receivable that had not been billed or collected yet.

The firm paid him for a few months after he left, according to the com-

“I am asking the court to declare that I am a shareholder who still has rights to distribution.”

— Larry Holzberg

plaint. Then in January 2024, Hal Martin allegedly asserted that Holzberg was no longer a shareholder, the firm had no legal obligations to him, he no longer had access to billing information, and he should stop asking about the value of BRM shares.

In June 2024, the firm allegedly filed federal and state tax forms that acknowledged Holzberg's shares as of September 2023 but "falsely suggested" that he was no longer a shareholder.

For 18 months, BRM delayed calculating the value of his shares, the complaint states. Then Holzberg threatened legal action.

Hal Martin allegedly replied in an April 2025 email: "You elected to leave so that you could facilitate being bought out and we supported your decision. I and the firm will continue to work on our dissolution, as we have

been since you left as a continued show of support."

But other than offering $36,000 for Holzberg's shares, an "amount made up by Hal Martin in an arbitrary manner," the complaint states, BRM has not redeemed his shares or compensated him for work completed or in progress before he left.

Holzberg claims he is entitled to at least $564,500. He is asking the court to declare that he is a shareholder who still has rights to distributions; order BRM to provide access to records; and make the firm conduct an independent accounting.

Defense attorney Plitt said BRM and the Martins "plan to file a legal response and countersuit in due course."

Holzberg is represented by attorney Jonathan Ohring, of Yankwitt LLP, White Plains.

New WestConn president offers hope for students in tough economic times

DANBURY – At a time in this country where many are questioning the importance of a college education at a time when more graduates cannot find jobs, pay down steep student loans or afford to live on their own, newly installed Western Connecticut State University President Jesse Bernal has a message of hope.

“What are universities for? It’s a fair question,” Bernal told those gathered at his inauguration March 27 at the Hagman Concert Hall Visual & Performing Arts Center. “It deserves a real honest answer.

“Here’s mine: When I just turned 18, I bought a one-way ticket to California. I had just enough money for the ticket there. That bus was carrying this young kid from South Texas, who already tried college once and left. Who didn’t have a plan. But who believed because his family taught him to believe that education had the power to change a life.”

He told an audience of nearly 300, which included Gov. Ned Lamont and Danbury Mayor Roberto Alves, that when he steps on the WestConn campus he sees students who are not just choosing a college. “They are choosing to believe that something different is possible,” he said. “That’s what universities are for and that’s what WestConn is for.”

According to a New York Times story Sunday, March 29, the writer Noam Scheiber reported that recent college graduates are having a harder time finding work. From 1990-2018, it was almost unheard of for the unemployment rate of recent college graduates to exceed the country’s overall rate. But that has been the case for five straight years, Scheiber wrote. That has led to graduates having to take service jobs at Starbucks or Target as they return home to live with their parents as they prepare to repay student loans that can run upwards of $70,000.

Bernal, who comes to Western Connecticut via Grand Valley State University in Michigan, laid out his plan for one of the state’s four regional state universities during his tenure.

“The model for higher education that most of us inherited was designed

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

for a world that no longer exists and in many cases for students that look like that students we have on our campus,” he said. “We’re not those people anymore and, quite honestly, thank goodness for it.

“My job is not to defend a model that leaves too many people out; it’s to become one that leads people where they are, tells them the truth about what is possible and walks with them until they get there.”

Mayor Alves reiterated the need for a strong symbiotic relationship between WestConn and Greater Danbury when it comes to education, jobs and the local economy.

“As I have gotten to know Dr. Bernal in the short time he has been here, he has already articulated a clear vision – a plan to continue moving WestConn forward,” Alves said.

“WestConn and the City of Danbury have a storied history going back 120 years, when this institution was founded as Danbury Normal School.

“Over the years, our relationship has continued to develop as WestConn grew with more academic offerings and through it all the university continues to share the same mission of service and of community.”

Gov. Lamont, who helped swear in Bernal during his investiture Friday, specified some of the business relationships that exist between the university and Danbury.

“I remember our conversation (with Bernal) like it was yesterday,” Lamont said. “(He said) this is part of something bigger. We’re going to make sure that Western is part of the broader community. We’re going to have programs as part of Boehringer Ingelheim. We’re going to have programs over at Danbury Hospital. We’re going to make sure that you are taking courses at where jobs are. Make sure that the jobs come to you.”

Grand Valley State University

President Philomena Mantella, who has worked with Bernal for five years, called her former colleague’s ascension to his own presidency one that will benefit WestConn in the years to come.

“Students today are navigating rising costs, working family responsibilities, new workforce demands and an uncertain economic future,” she said.

“When I step on the WestConn campus I see students who are not just choosing a college. They are choosing to believe that something different is possible. That’s what universities are for and that’s what WestConn is for.”

— Jesse Bernal

“Communities are asking whether higher education is a reliable pathway to mobility and purpose. Employers are looking for graduates who are adaptable, prepared and grounded in ethical leadership.

She called this moment a bold one that needs a leader that WestConn can get behind for “intentional leadership and shared resolve.”

“That’s why President Jesse Bernal is the right leader for the moment,” she added. “I’m speaking not only as a colleague but as someone who has the privilege of working alongside Jesse for five years at Grand Valley State University where he served as vice president and chief of staff.”

Bernal, who has a Ph.D., is the 10th president in WestConn’s history, having replaced the late John Clark who died in January. Earlier in his career, the new WestConn president was chief executive GVSU Public Charter Schools and served in state and system-level roles in California.

He serves on the boards of the Center for the Advancement of Pro -

fessional Students and the President’s Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration. He also chairs the REP4 President’s Council.

He earned his Ph.D. in education from the Gervitz Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

“When I think about WestConn, I think about threads,” Bernal said. “Every student who arrives here carries one. Every faculty member, every alum, every donor, every partner, every family member is hoping it will help someone they love. Every university is woven from a thousand threads, a living tapestry of people, ideas and possibilities.”

RN is the ‘Nurse Next Door’ in western Connecticut

MONROE – Allison Hulme, a registered nurse for 15 years with more than a decade of experience in home healthcare, knows the importance of putting a patient’s medical problems in the hands of someone experienced and knowledgeable, and who offers thoughtful, attentive, and highly individualized care.

She has put that knowledge to work as she helps to find the right healthcare professional to address people’s specific medical needs.

“I saw a growing need for high-quality, personalized, concierge-level nursing support for families throughout Western Connecticut,” said Hulme, BSN, RN, owner of Nurse Next Door, part of an international franchise with over 200 branches in the United States. Hulme’s office is the first Nurse Next Door in Connecticut.

“The foundation of any successful healthcare organization is trust,” she added. “I provide only certified, licensed, and registered caregivers to ensure the best possible care. By maintaining high standards of professionalism, investing in compassionate caregivers, and staying committed to people-first care, we can continue to provide meaningful support to families throughout the region.”

Initially, Hulme, a graduate of Sacred Heart University with a clinical background that spans geriatric care and chronic care management, operated from a home office to build her practice within the community. As she saw the demand for personalized in-home care increasing, earlier this year she opened an office space at 755 Main St. in Monroe, which serves other nearby communities such as Newtown.

“Healthcare needs continue to evolve, particularly as more families seek ways to support loved ones at home,” she said. “Growth allows us to expand our team, increase availability of services, and better serve the community with reliable, professional care.”

Newtown Economic and Community Development Director John Voket pointed out that Nurse Next Door will help address the rapidly escalating demand for the type and level of services Hulme and her team

deliver locally.

“According to my sources, Connecticut is going to need approximately 54,000 direct health care workers by 2030 to meet the rising demand,” said Voket. “This requirement represents a 20% increase from the 44,000 direct care workers in the state in 2020, so Allison’s entry into this critical service marketplace is well-timed. It’s great that Newtown can claim its place as the first New England location for this expanding nationwide healthcare service network.”

Nurse Next Door’s approach combines professional nursing expertise with a philosophy called Happier Aging™ – helping people continue living meaningful lives at home.

“While we support medical and daily care needs, we look beyond to understand what truly brings a person joy. By learning about a client’s interests, hobbies, and personal goals, our caregivers and nurses help create care experiences that support both health and quality of life,” Hulme said.

Clients receive personalized care plans based on their specific medical

needs, lifestyle, and personal goals. “We want every client to feel respected, supported, and able to continue living life on their own terms,” she added. “Our goal is to provide not only clinical support but also emotional connection and encouragement.”

Services include private-duty nursing and certified nurse’s aides for personal care services. In addition, it offers personalized care plans for each patient.

Nurse Next Door operates on a private-pay basis. “Operating as a private-pay service allows families greater flexibility and quicker access to care,” Hulme added. “Without the limitations that can sometimes accompany insurance-driven models, care can be tailored to the individual’s unique needs and preferences.”

The business’ services are complementary rather than competitive as Nurse Next Door supports patients in their homes after they are initially treated by urgent care centers and clinics. “We help bridge the gap between hospital or physician visits and day-to-day recovery by providing skilled nursing oversight, medication management, and personalized support,” she said.

“The foundation of any successful healthcare organization is trust. I provide only certified, licensed, and registered caregivers to ensure the best possible care.”

Hulme’s path into nursing and opening Nurse Next Door was shaped by personal experiences.

“As a child, I grew up watching my mother struggle with alcoholism, which exposed me at a young age to the challenges families face when someone they love is unwell,” Hulme said. “That planted the early seeds of compassion and caregiving in my life.”

Later, her mother rebuilt her life with the help of Alcoholics Anonymous and spent decades as a private duty caregiver in Connecticut.

“Watching the pride, grace, and compassion she brought to caring for others had a profound impact on me and reinforced how meaningful thoughtful care can be,” Hulme said. “Toward the end of her life, she developed Alzheimer’s disease, and I had the opportunity to care for her during that journey, which gave me a personal understanding of what families experience when a loved one needs support at home.”

In 2014, after tragically losing her sister, Wendy, Hulme established Wendy’s Heart LLC in her honor when she purchased a Nurse Next Door franchise. “I hope to be able to help women at risk for domestic abuse when my business is successful,” she said.

“The mission of our team at Nurse Next Door is not simply to provide medical or daily assistance, but to ensure that every person we care for feels supported, respected, and genuinely valued. We strive to help people continue living rich, meaningful lives in the comfort of their own homes.”

Turner Construction Company, incorporated in the State of New York, was established in 1902 by Henry C. Turner who continued his active direction of the company as President and Chairman of the Board until his retirement in 1946. Turner Construction Company is a subsidiary of The Turner Corporation and is currently under the direction of Peter J. Davoren, Chairman and CEO. With a staff of 14,000 personnel Turner has shown remarkable growth over the past 124 years. From the beginning, we have had an undeniable influence on the construction industry by pioneering the practical use of what was then the newly developed reinforced concrete design concept. We have demonstrated the capabilities of this construction method by building the station stairs for the New York City Subway system in 1904 and the Robert Gair Building in New York in 1905, which was the largest reinforced concrete building in the United States at the time. Turner New York has a professional staff of more than 800 employees and completes more than $1.7 billion in annual construction volume. For more than 124 years, we have contributed to the construction of many landmark projects in New York City including the United Nations Secretariat, Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Center and Yankee Stadium.
