Blumenthal hears stories about sports betting ills at SHU

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

FAIRFIELD – For Stephen Coffey and Ava Adiletti at Sacred Heart University, sports betting on campus – whether it involves athletes or fellow students – is a lot more than just a way to enjoy their favorite team. It’s a growing problem that can destroy relationships, careers and even lives.

It’s an addiction just like drugs and alcohol abuse that has become even more socially acceptable due to the proliferation of such companies as DraftKings and FanDuel, legal sports books. But unlike the two major addictions, sports gambling has no federally funded recovery or treatment programs.

“I was a former college athlete,” said Adiletti, an accomplished swimmer for Millersville University. “For me, the thought of gambling and risking my college career was enough for me to stay away from it. I definitely knew some athletes who I knew were gambling. It’s upsetting.”

Adiletti was one of three SHU sports media and communications students who sat on a panel sponsored by that department May 5 at Martire Center for the Liberal Arts building. She was joined by Coffey, a senior undergraduate, and Zach Seymour, a graduate student.

The Roundtable Discussion with U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal was led by professor Andrew Miller, SHU Director of Sports Communication and Media Graduate program, and included Jeff LaBella, SHU director of counseling and collegiate recovery

“Sports gambling is an addiction just like drugs and alcohol— but without the safety net of federally funded recovery programs.”

and Seamus McNamee of Great Blue Research, co-author of the 2026 Sacred Heart University Nationwide Sports Gambling Poll. That poll, which was released this winter, found that 63% of respondents are concerned that college athletes may be pressured from gambling activity and 62% expressed concern about gambling advertising on young viewers, according to McNamee. The poll was conducted Feb. 2–5, among 1,500 U.S. adults.

What concerns Adiletti even more is how often college students are gambling on teams they watch on a regular basis.

“I think there is pressure, especially with college athletes because they are sports fans,” she said. “Now, it’s happening more often and at bigger levels like in the pros. It’s not just players involved. It’s coaches and college students who are betting on their own teams. It’s not a new concept but it’s much worse now.”

For Coffey, his experience with betting on sports teams is a personal one.

“When I turned 18, I downloaded an app – Underdog Sports – the summer before I went to college,” he said. “I found out very fast it was not a very good idea. It’s very scary to see some of my friends fall down that hole.”

The targeting of young students, specifically men, by sports book companies that bring sports betting right to their smart phones is a problem that disturbs him.

“Very recently, there is an app called Kalshi,” Coffey added. “They say it’s

— U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal

an investment app. It’s not an investment app. It’s a sports gambling app.”

Kalshi is the first regulated U.S. exchange that allows people to buy and sell "event contracts" based on real-world outcomes, such as economic data, weather, or political events. While it is regulated as a financial exchange by the U.S. Commodities Future Trading Commission, over 90% of its activity in early 2025 was tied to sports.

“What I have learned in the past few years is that young people are a target for the gambling companies,” said Sen. Blumenthal. “They are the predominant target for gambling corporate giants, not just DraftKings and FanDuel. We see a whole new collection of companies in the prediction market. They are gambling, even though they say they aren’t.”

Blumenthal, who has proposed two pieces of legislation to rein in the sports betting and prediction market apps, described how the DraftKings and FanDuels go after young fans to feed their addictions.

“What I know about these companies is that they target people, they track people,” Blumenthal said. “They use algorithms and AI to target the bets that you place, the prop bets and all of the others. The technology has so advanced what they can do.”

The senator representing Connecticut has proposed the Gambling Addiction Recovery Investment and Treatment (GRIT) act, which would take some of the sports betting excise tax and devote it to treatment and research for addiction. Another piece of legislation he co-sponsored is the Supporting Affordability and Fairness with Every Bet (SAFE Bet) Act, legislation that would create nationwide consumer protections and standards for the mobile sports gambling industry.

Sacred Heart University decided to hold the panel discussion because it believes the sports gambling issue is affecting the lives of their students and those at other NCAA schools with sports teams.

“At the counseling center, we know the population least likely to reach out for help is young men, who are the most affected,” SHU’s LaBella said. “It’s a challenging population to outreach for and educate and encourage to come in. By the time someone actually comes through our doors it’s often at that point of problematic gambling with relationships destroyed, anxiety and depression as well as suicidal ideation.”

Ex-employees claim Purchase company failed to thwart hackers

Two former employees of a global paper products business based in Purchase have sued the company for allegedly failing to protect their personal information from hackers.

Alexis Romero, of Bayshore, Suffolk County, and Samantha Campbell, of Tarpon Springs, Florida, accused Central National Gottesman Inc. of negligence, in separate class action complaints filed on April 6 in U.S. District Court in White Plains.

"There has been no acknowledgement yet by defendant that the data breach occurred," both complaints state, "nor any assurances that defendant is taking steps to protect the private information going forward."

Central National Gottesman is a fifth generation family business founded in 1886. It sells products such as paper stock for books and catalogs,

newsprint, towels, diapers, cleaning tissue, packaging, paper pulp, and cans. It employs more than 4,200 people in 29 offices worldwide.

On March 2, a notorious ransomware group, Payoutsking, or Payouts King, claimed responsibility for a data breach that gained access to the names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses and contact information of current and former employes.

Such personal information is a "gold mine for data thieves," the complaints state. Hackers typically sell the stolen information on "dark market" online platforms where crooks anonymously buy illicit goods.

Then thieves use the personal information to drain bank accounts, open new financial accounts, take out loans, run up credit card charges, obtain medical services, apply for governmental

Ransomware crooks targeted Central National Gottesman

benefits, file fraudulent tax returns, and conceal their true identity during arrests.

Since the data breach, Romero and Campbell claim, they have received more spam calls, text messages and emails, "evidencing misuse of (their) private information."

They argue that Central National

Gottesman should have known the inherent risks of collecting personal information from employees, yet failed to properly secure and safeguard the information.

It should have used an intrusion detection system to monitor attempted hacks and recognize breaches as soon as they occur, according to the complaints, to quickly notify employes and law enforcement and to mitigate the damages.

The lawsuits were filed on behalf of all individuals nationwide whose personal information was taken from Central National Gottesman.

Campbell and Romero are demanding at least $5 million in damages and lifetime credit monitoring and identity theft insurance for everyone whose private and personal information was exposed in the data breach.

Central National Gottesman did not reply to a request for comment that was submitted through its website.

Yonkers Mayor Spano proposes $1.57B FY2027 executive budget

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

No cuts to municipal services and active workforce; maintains historic education funding

Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano on Monday released his $1.57 billion proposed fiscal year 2027 Executive Budget, which contains no cuts to municipal services or active workforce and maintains historic funding to Yonkers Public Schools.

“As we await the passage of New York State’s budget, this year’s Executive Budget is based on the governor’s proposed budget and must take into account the current global economic climate, such as cuts in federal funding, tariffs, inflation and a volatile market,” Mayor Spano said. “As such, this Executive Budget is honest and lean, and will look to offset the uncertainties left by many of these economic stressors.”

BUDGET SNAPSHOT

• $1.57 billion total budget

Sets the combined city and school tax rate at $1,013.69 per one thousand of assessed value, an increase of 5.25% over last year’s $963.14 per one thousand of assessed value.

• $298.4 million appropriation for the Board of Education

• $17.3 million in school construction in its capital budget for infrastructure and enhancing Wi-Fi

• The city’s water and sewer usage rates are proposed at a combined 3.17% increase, which is approximately half of the increase proposed in water rates charged by New York City to Yonkers.

• Includes a $64 million Capital Budget for City operations. The proposed budget includes a tax rate increase of 5.25%, which is a result of settling union contracts and prudently setting aside funds through a contingency for outstanding contracts at similar wage increases to the settled, paying for a 9% increase to health insurance, or $9.4 million, which is a 2% tax levy increase alone, and supporting the district. Under the proposal, a typical home at the median assessed value of $10,900 would see their annual property tax bill increase by $551, or

approximately $45.91 per month.

The Executive Budget includes a $298.4 million appropriation for the Board of Education.

This year’s Executive Budget recommits to education and Yonkers students despite a difficult fiscal outlook. The transfer to education will provide an additional $16.3 million through an equivalent increase to the Maintenance of Effort of $5.2 million that includes the absorption of the district’s IT department, a $4.6 million contribution towards the Joint School Construction Board costs, and assumption of $6.5 million in textbooks and equipment costs that will collectively assist in freeing up funds to be spent in the classroom.

“Together, we have fought hard over the years to build the District back,” the mayor said. “That includes our 90% graduation rate and programs like sports, music and art. However, during recent years, we have lost critical federal dollars that once helped stabilize our schools in the aftermath of COVID-19. Today, Washington leaders are unwilling to fully recognize

the unique challenges facing urban school districts like ours and provide additional funding.”

Spano added that as a result of less federal aid, pending additional state aid, Yonkers Public Schools will need to restructure and consolidate to accommodate for the changing District that has seen a 10% reduction in-district regular students.

Overall, the 2027 Executive Budget minimizes departmental spending, except for contractual and state mandated increases, eliminates three vacant positions and comes with internal instructions to limit travel, fill vacant positions only when necessary, preserve spending flexibility, and emphasize additional efficiency measures where possible.

The FY27 Budget is the 50th under the Special Local Finance and Budget Act of 1976. General Fund Wages and Fringe Benefits represent approximately 74% of General Fund expenditures.

The Yonkers City Council must review and adopt the City budget for the new fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2026.

Travel Talk — The 2026 FIFA World Cup

As the countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup intensifies – the New York/New Jersey-hosted 2026 FIFA World Cup coincides with “Sail 4th 250” week, New York City’s massive Fourth of July initiative— millions of Americans and an estimated five million international visitors are gearing up to follow the cup action across North America.

But not everyone is planning to be swept up entirely in the soccer frenzy. As Travel Talk learned in a recent exchange with Victor de Vita, managing director of Travel & Luxury at the Brooklyn-based communications and consulting agency BPCM, a quieter, more considered approach is emerging.

Think of it as World Cup travel with a twist – itineraries that “orbit” the spectacle rather than dive into it headfirst. These so-called “anti-FIFA” journeys are all about slipping just beyond the matches and even beyond the host cities, discovering places rich in culture and character and without the crush of the crowds.

“Matches are no longer the sole destination; they're the anchor. From Los Angeles to Toronto, New York City to Miami and down to Mexico City, the tournament is transforming cities into interconnected cultural stages, where sport intersects with hospitality, design, dining and nightlife,” he said.

This World Cup is set to be unlike any before it. With 48 teams spread across 16 cities in the United States, Canada and Mexico, the sheer scale is staggering. Travel demand continues to surge with hotel bookings climbing well above seasonal norms, while private aviation and high-end concierge services are seeing a noticeable uptick.

Put another way, for today’s luxury traveler, the question has evolved. It’s no longer just where to watch the game but how to experience the journey around it.

For those who want to immerse themselves fully, proximity is, of course, everything. In Los Angeles, The Ritz-Carlton, Los Angeles places

guests right in the heart of L.A. Live –the place to be for screenings, celebrations and the city’s electric sports culture. It’s not just about the matches; it’s about being part of the atmosphere that surrounds them.

By contrast, though, for a complete reset, a property like the newly reimagined The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, provides a coastal counterpoint to the buzz of Los Angeles. Perched above the Pacific, it trades noise for ocean air and crowd for calm.

Across host cities, Marriott Bonvoy is leaning into its role as an official partner, offering members access to match tickets, curated hospitality packages and exclusive experiences.

But you can enjoy the soccer, and even follow it, without having to be in the thick of it. In Miami, Mr. C Miami Coconut Grove strikes that perfect balance. Overlooking Biscayne Bay, this beautiful property (operated by the Cipriani hotel and restaurant family), offers a more relaxed, residential feel, complete with terrace-lined rooms, a rooftop pool and long, languid lunches that are going to feel a world away from the roar of Hard Rock Stadium. It’s the kind of place where you can dip into the excitement, then retreat and reengage on your own terms.

Not everyone, however, wants to savor the sidelines. If the past few years were defined by pared-back, “quiet luxury” escapes, the pendulum is swinging decisively in the opposite direction.

“Travel, like fashion, is embracing boldness again,” De Vita said, with “more color, more contrast and more experiences packed into a single trip.” And as for how to travel, with air-

port traffic in World Cup cities expected to hit an all-time high, this summer could be the time to get acquainted with private or semiprivate jet services, like PS (formerly The Private Suite), if your budget runs to it. With private terminals in key World Cup hubs like Los Angeles and Atlanta – and Dallas Fort Worth and Miami coming soon –PS allows guests to bypass traditional airports entirely. It promises no queues and no crowds – just a seamless glide from one city to the next, “turning even transit into part of the luxury experience,” De Vita added.

Certainly, luxury advisers are seeing a clear shift: Travelers are no longer content with one destination. Instead, they’re stitching together multi-city, even multi-country itineraries, often combining two, three or four stops into a single journey. The World Cup, with its cross-border format, is the perfect catalyst for this kind of travel.

In other words, this isn’t – or needn’t be – just about soccer. It’s about crafting a journey that feels as dynamic as the tournament itself. This will work especially well for families where some members are crazy for the game, but others, well, less so. They’ll be the ones sitting around a blissfully quiet swimming pool or visiting a deserted city art gallery while their friends or family members will be shouting their lungs out at the pitch.

The takeaway? Whether you’re chasing the roar of the crowd or deliberately skirting its edges, the 2026 FIFA World Cup may well be reshaping how – and why – we travel. The matches may be the headline, but for many, it’s everything around them that’s becoming the real story.

Regan Development, RHAC picked to redevelop Sain Building

Regan Development Corp. of Ardsley and Rockland Housing Action Coalition (RHAC) were selected to redevelop the roughly 3.69-acre Sain Building site at 18 New Hempstead Road, according to Rockland County Executive Ed Day and outgoing Director of Community Development Alexandra Obremski.

The redevelopment proposal calls for a three-story mixed-use space with 23 age restricted affordable senior rental units, 25 non-age restricted affordable rental units and 3,100 square feet of retail space. The existing Sain building will be demolished to make for the development.

“Today marks an important step forward in transforming a long-vacant property into high- quality, affordable housing for seniors, vulnerable residents, essential workers and volunteers,” Day said. “We are helping ensure that long-time residents — and those who serve our community—can continue to live and thrive here.”

The redevelopment also includes:

• Preference for 10% of units for veterans, 5% for first responders/ essential workers, and 10% for individuals with Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities (IDD).

• 40,000 sq. ft. of recreation and park space.

• A mix of units affordable to those earning 30%, 50%, 60% and 80% of Area Median Income (AMI).

“As a company whose principals grew up in Rockland County right in the Town of Clarkstown, Regan Development is proud to partner with Rockland County and the Town of Clarkstown to create new high quality, energy efficient, affordable rental housing units,” said Larry Regan, President of Regan Development. “Rockland residents across the board are struggling to find affordable housing rental options in the County and these 48 new units will help alleviate the shortage.”

Rockland County Legislature

Chair Jay Hood Jr. believes the project shows what can happen when a community comes together.

“This property has long served the public and through this new effort, it will continue to do so by providing vital affordable housing for those most

in need of it,” Hood said. “This project reflects what can happen when government, nonprofit organizations and responsible developers work together toward a common goal.”

The Request for Proposals was published in June 2025. Of the four applications submitted, Regan and RHAC’s submission was awarded the exclusive negotiating agreement.

Final proposal details are still under negotiation.

Proposals were evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Meeting goals for workforce and affordable housing, commercial uses, public space and sustainability

• Experience with similar affordable housing and mixed-use projects

• References and performance with similar developments within the past 5 years

• Strength of financial proposal and overall financial health of the developers

• Proposed community benefits like parks and open space

A public presentation of three redevelopment proposals took place in the County Legislative Chambers on Feb. 9. Survey responses from neighbors and the public after the presentations overwhelmingly preferred the Regan/RHAC proposals because of the amount of green space, sensitivity to local needs and more affordable rents.

“The RFP process was thorough and competitive, and this proposal stood out for its feasibility, the strong experience of the development team which have built and operate a combined 30 affordable rental developments across New York, and its overall alignment with community priorities,” said Alexandra Obremski, director of Rockland County Community Development.

Rockland County Legislature Minority Leader Lon Hofstein was glad to see something being done about the Sain Building site.

“The deteriorating structure known as the Sain building has been an eyesore in the heart of New City for many years,” Hofstein said. “As the county legislator representing the district where this property is located, I am pleased that this structure will be removed and the property will

be redeveloped to include a building that will provide affordable housing along with community space for the residents to enjoy.”

The County’s 2024 Housing Needs Assessment identified significant gaps in housing affordability and availability including +40% of Rockland residents spend +30% of their income on housing costs. To address this crisis, the county has launched several key initiatives, including:

• Housing Action Loan Opportunity: $13.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds allocated to provide direct loans for creating or preserving workforce housing.

• Keep Rockland Home Campaign: A new marketing and education campaign informing residents about the county’s housing needs and dispelling common myths about affordable housing.

“We are grateful to collaborate with the County on a project that reflects thoughtful planning, real community engagement, and a shared commitment to affordability,” concluded Teressa Smith, Executive Director of Rockland Housing Action Coalition. The Resolution awarding the exclusive negotiating agreement is being processed for submission to the County Legislature and is on track to be voted on during the June 16 meeting. After approval there will be several additional steps, final redevelopment details of the project will be negotiated by the County and Regan/RHAC, the redevelopment proposal will proceed through Clarkstown’s Planning Board process, the developers will seek federal, state and local funding support, and the County Legislature will vote on the final disposition of the property. These steps will occur over the next several years.

Companies sign leases totaling 54,000 SF at Stamford Plaza

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

STAMFORD — CBRE has competed 54,000 square feet in new leases and renewals at Stamford Plaza, a four-building, 1 million-square-foot office campus.

Stamford Plaza is home to companies ranging from asset managers and financial services firms to life sciences, consumer product and media companies. A partnership of CBRE, real estate investment firm RFR and fiduciary service company

Trigild allows Stamford Plaza to aggressively pursue new tenants and retain existing ones.

Among the largest new leases signed at the complex is a lease for 9,505 square feet for CBRE, which will relocate its Stamford office to part of the 14th floor of 3 Stamford Plaza from 201 Tresser Blvd. Other new commitments include a lease for 2,409-square-feet by Shay Capital and a lease for 2,478 square feet by Hudson Ferry Capital at 1 Stamford

Plaza. Lease renewals include 23,961 square feet by Hexcel, 6,167 square feet by a financial institution, and 2,340 square feet by Trisura at 2 Stamford Plaza, as well as 6,840 square feet by an investment management firm at 1 Stamford Plaza.

The CBRE team of David Block, Jacqueline Novotny, and Joseph Weaver led the leasing campaign at the office complex.

“Major office tenants continue to make long-term commitments at this iconic campus in Stamford’s central business district,” Block said. “Substantial capital has been earmarked to meet tenant demands and ensure that Stamford Plaza operates at the highest standard – making it an easy decision for CBRE to move our office there.”

Stamford Plaza features a 2.5-acre landscaped plaza with gardens, a putting green, bocce court, fountains, outdoor dining, and an array of seating options, an idyllic alfresco

environment in which tenants can work or unwind. RFR recently executed a significant capital improvement campaign at the complex that included dramatic new lobbies for 3 and 4 Stamford Plaza, boasting rift sawn white oak and Verdi marble.

“Stamford Plaza continues to stand out as a premier destination in the Stamford top tier office market, driven by its prime location, robust amenity offering and unwavering commitment of ownership to deliver an exceptional tenant experience,” said JoAnn McGrath of RFR.

The campus also features the Terrace Café, a 130-seat restaurant designed by Meaghan Apfel’s Carnelian Studio and operated by Guckenheimer, an award-winning international catering firm that specializes in creating custom dining experiences for corporate users. Other amenities at the complex include a modern fitness center, teleconferencing centers, shuttles and black car service to the nearby train station, ATM, car wash and dry-cleaning.

Poughkeepsie restaurateur seeks bankruptcy support

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A Poughkeepsie restaurateur has filed for personal bankruptcy protection in the hope of stabilizing his finances to continue running a fast food enterprise.

Ricardo Juan Grey declared $407,103 in assets and more than $4.4 million in liabilities in a Chapter 11 reorganization petition filed on April 6 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Poughkeepsie.

"In the event of liquidation, creditors would receive little, if anything," he stated in an affidavit. "If a plan can be negotiated with creditors, the results will be the rehabilitation of my family. For all the above reasons, I desire to continue in business and successfully reorganize my financial affairs."

Grey founded Scotch Bonnet LLC in 2016 and Scotch Bonnet Restaurant Corp. in 2024, to operate fast food restaurants that feature Jamaican dish-

es such as jerk chicken made with fiery and fruity Scotch bonnet peppers.

He opened restaurants at shopping centers, including Poughkeepsie Galleria, the Galleria at Crystal Run in Middletown, and The Mall at Bay Plaza in the Bronx. Now he has one location, at Danbury Fair in Connecticut.

He blames the demise of restaurants on Covid and the increased costs of goods. As locations failed, according to his affidavit, he became personally liable for sales taxes, leases and vendor debts, and he fell behind on his home mortgage.

Grey says he owes $1.5 million to the U.S. Small Business Administration, for example, $561,000 on a home mortgage, $505,000 to Mall at Jefferson Valley, $328,000 in New York sales taxes, $324,000 for a U.S. Department of Education student

loan. Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. has threatened to shut down utility services at his home, over $47,877 in unpaid bills.

He makes about $13,456 a month in business income. His primary asset is his half-ownership of a $808,000 home on Old Field Road, Poughkeepsie valued at $808,000. Other than the home, he declared $3,350 in personal and household items, and $3 in a financial account.

Grey argues that restructuring his debts would be in the best interest of creditors, himself, and the community. He is represented by Wappingers Falls attorney Michelle L. Trier.

Fiction and real life meet at American Cancer Society event

By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com

According to the American Cancer Society, one in three Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in his or her lifetime, and 600,000 Americans will die of some form of the disease this year. Perhaps even more alarming:  Certain cancers, like breast cancer and colorectal cancer, are on the rise among younger adults.

But, as the society notes, Americans have made significant strides against the disease, as evidenced by a 34% decline in overall U.S. cancer mortality since 1991, averting an estimated 4.8 million cancer deaths. Improved early detection, targeted treatments like immunotherapy and reduced smoking rates have driven five-year survival rates for all cancers combined to 69%. Still, whether it’s research into new treatments or providing free rides to those treatments, fighting cancer takes money.

On Thursday, May 7, the American Cancer Society raised more than $200,000 with its "Women Leading the Way to Wellness" event at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich that brought together the world of fiction and stories that were all too real.

Some 500 attendees saluted Community Impact Volunteer award winner Julie Stein and Choose Your Champion award winner Brittany Thompson, who shared their different but equally defiant approaches to the disease.

New Canaan resident Julie Stein was 47 when she was diagnosed with DCIS

(ductal carcinoma in situ) breast cancer, the earliest form, or stage 0, of the disease, in which abnormal cells in the milk duct have not spread to the surrounding tissue. After initially being floored, Stein went into what an event video called “Julie mode.” She decided to have a double mastectomy with reconstruction.

“I just said, this is what I’m doing,” she told the New Canaanite in 2023. “I am going to beat this…. And then, God willing, once I’m over the hump, I’m gonna dedicate my time, my resources, to raising awareness, raising funds and helping everyone, because breast cancer affects everybody.”

Stein went on to found Project Pink New Canaan, a fundraiser that turns downtown New Canaan pink each October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, raising more than $30,000 for breast cancer research since the fundraiser’s inception. She also sits on the board of the Greenwich-based Breast Cancer Alliance.

While cancer is no match for this dynamo, there is one fear that Stein hasn’t overcome and that is public speaking. So her acceptance speech was delivered by husband Jeff as she and their children, Karly and Ryder, looked on.

Choose Your Champion honoree Thompson was hit with cancer in two different ways, both threatening the life of her second child, daughter Mara. Thompson herself was diag-

“I just said, this is what I’m doing. I am going to beat this.”

— Julie Stein

nosed with cancer while pregnant with Mara. But her doctor was convinced that she could bring the baby successfully to term, which she did.

But cancer wasn't finished with Thompson. At age 3, Mara was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In each case, Thompson told the audience, mindset, movement and nourishment were among the keys to battling cancer twice. Thompson’s yoga mat, for instance, was a constant companion during Mara’s treatment.

Mara, now 4, and brother Ford, 7, stood beside their mother as she accepted her award.

The event switched gears for a panel discussion with writers Alisyn Camerota, Zakiya Dalila Harris, Wally Lamb and Dorothy Lyman. Camerota – the Emmy Award-winning former CNN anchor and author of the new novel “Combat Love,” about sex, drugs and (punk) rock’n’ roll on the Jersey shore of the 1980s, served as moderator for the panelists, who shared tales from

their childhoods and working lives, some of which have found their way into their fiction.

Harris said her debut novel, “The Other Black Girl,” a New York Times best seller that became a Hulu series, was inspired by her own experience in the publishing world, where hers was often the only Black face. What she discovered, however, was the race does not define friendship.

Lamb, a northeastern Connecticut author of more New York Times best sellers (“She’s Come Undone,” “The River Is Waiting”), described how growing up surrounded by female relatives inspired his female characters. (Being the only boy had its advantages: He was the sultan whenever his sisters played harem girls, which he said made for quite the story when he made his first confession to prepare for his first Holy Communion.)

Lyman, author of the plays “Upstate” and “The Bleak Midwinter,” is probably better known to audiences as an actress. The Washington Depot, Connecticut, resident won two Emmy Awards as Opal Sue Gardner, the feisty, loving though meddlesome pal to Erica Kane on the ABC soap opera “All My Children," continuing in the role at least initially as she did primetime duty as the flirtatious Naomi Harper on CBS’ “Mama’s Family.” After the latter ended, Lyman took up producing and directing, notching 75 episodes of “The Nanny” with Fran Drescher.

The panelists’ conversation demonstrated that life is not only stranger than fiction; it's inevitably the stuff of it.

On Sunday, May 10, Old Salem Farm in North Salem celebrated not only Mother’s Day but another ‘M’ – six-time Olympian and two-time gold medalist McLain Ward – as  he took both first and second places in the $125,000 Old Salem Farm Grand Prix Presented by J.P. Morgan Private Bank, capping the first weekend of the farm’s “Spring Horse Shows.”

Ward set the pace as the first rider in the timed jumping event aboard Lestro VD Valckenborg, a bay gelding, then came back later to turn in another excellent performance, this time aboard Jordan Molga M, also a bay gelding. He was not the only rider to do double duty as Georgina Bloomberg of neighboring Gotham North farm, rode the gray mare Cassina and the liver chestnut stallion Tulara Colmine, while last year's winner, Ireland's Jordan Coyle, rode the bay gelding For Gold and then the gray gelding Ariso; and Colombia’s Mark Bluman appeared aboard the chestnut stallion S&L Hello Sunshine, then returned with the black mare S&L Haquinsa.

In the five-person jump-off, Ward was back aboard Lestro and Jordan for the one-two finish. The breeder and trainer of horses at his Castle Hill Farm in Brewster even had a hand as a trainer in the third-place finish of McKayla Langmeier of East Granby, Connecticut, riding the gray gelding Isidore de Chalusse.

It was an impressive showing from Ward, who led a field that also included Jessica Springsteen, part of

the U.S. silver medal-winning team with him at the 2020/21 Tokyo Games; Israel’s Daniel Bluman; and Egypt’s Nayel Nassar in what was billed as a preview of Olympic hopefuls for the 2028 Los Angeles Games.

It was Ward’s second winning outing in three days. On Friday, May 8, he defended his title in the $63,000 New York Welcome Stake presented by Evergate Stables, this time claiming top honors with Lestro. He and the 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding, owned by E.T.C. Custodian FBO Marta Mattox, brought home the win in 34.65 seconds.

But the spring shows are not only about all things equestrian. They’re also about food, fun, fashion, family and other furry friends. (Think plenty of dogs.) This year, the shows are also very much about equestrian art. On

“In the five-person jump-off, Ward was back aboard Lestro and Jordan for the one-two finish.”

Mother's Day, Nigerian sculptor Precious Eboigbodin was on hand to talk about his work “The Resilient Beauty II" (2026), a rearing horse made out of what looked like ribbons of reclaimed stainless steel. For Eboigbodin, art is about more than the love of nature. He sees the horse as his spirit animal. He’s represented by Rohmer Gallery in Saugerties, New York, whose owner, J.C. Hopkins, is also a writer with his own imprint, Eponymous Books.

Another lover of the horse – and indeed all kinds of wild things – is photographer and small-group tour guide Drew Doggett, whose works grace the VIP tent during the horse shows.

At 6 p.m. Saturday, May 16, Old Salem Farm & New Canaan Mounted Troop will present an evening with the photographer. You can register for the event and bid on some of his works here.

The remainder of the “Spring Horse Shows” – which run Tuesday, May 12, through Sunday, May 17 – continue to feature an array of amateur and professional riders of all ages in athletic jumping and aesthetic hunter competitions.

Saturday, May 16, includes face painting, pony rides, arts and crafts with the North Salem Historical Society, A New Chance Animal Rescue dog adoptions and an ice cream party with the Wolf Conservation Center of South Salem. Besides face painting, pony rides and arts and crafts with the North Salem Historical Society, Sunday, May 17, will spotlight a visit from the Animal Embassy.

The shows conclude that day with the $225,000 Empire State Grand Prix Presented by Old Salem Farm, in which Ward is the defending champion.

Impatient for impatiens? Wait no longer

By Melinda MyerS

Impatiens’ easy-care nature, season-long bloom and shade tolerance make it one of the most popular garden annuals. The introduction of downy mildew-resistant varieties has helped it maintain this status. For these reasons, as well as its butterfly and hummingbird appeal, the National Garden Bureau has declared 2026 the Year of the Impatiens.

The name "impatiens" is Latin for "impatient." It refers to the seeds abruptly exiting the ripe seed pods. Orange jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) and yellow jewelweed (Impatiens pallida) are also known by the common name touch-me-not since their ripe seed pods burst at a slight touch. These two North American native plants attract and support bumblebees, other long-tongued bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.

Some impatiens species’ flowers undergo a sex change as they mature known as sequential hermaphroditism. Their flowers start as male and, after the pollen sheds, they morph into a female.

Most gardeners are familiar

with Impatiens walleriana, also known as Busy Lizzie, and have grown them in containers, hanging baskets and garden beds. You will find a variety of colors and double-flowered varieties like Musica, Silhouette series, Glimmer and Fiesta. Look for Beacon, Glimmer and Imara XDR, which are resistant to the downy mildew disease that devastated many plantings of impatiens starting in 2011.

New Guinea impatiens (Impatiens hawkeri) are resistant to downy mildew, grows 12 to 15 inches tall and prefers partial shade. Introduced to the United States in the 1970s, the diverse cultivars feature dark green, bronze and variegated leaves, along with large white, pink, red, orange and violet flowers. Look for the flower color and plant size that best fits your container or garden design.

Interspecific hybrid impatiens were bred by crossing two different species of impatiens for some adaptability or aesthetic benefit. Bounce, and Spectra grow well in part sun to shady locations while Solarscape XL and Sunpatiens thrive in a full or half-

day of direct sunlight. All are downy mildew resistant.

For something different, try growing a few Garden Balsams (Impatiens balsamina). Popular during the Victorian era, their cup-shaped flowers grow by the leaves all along the upright stems. The peppermint stick garden balsam cultivar has red and white flowers that are spotted, striped and ruffled. Camellia balsam impatiens have large double flowers reminiscent of the flowers on a camellia shrub.

Keep the soil consistently moist for healthy and attractive impatiens. Spread a layer of leaves, evergreen needles or other organic mulch over the soil surface to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Regular fertilization according to label directions will help you maximize the floral display.

Pinch back leggy impatiens plants as needed. Use a sharp bypass pruner or snips to reduce the plants by up to one-half their height. Make the cut just above a set of leaves or node to encourage more compact growth and a better-looking plant in just a couple of weeks.

With the many color choices and their adaptability, you are sure to find the right impatiens for your containers and garden beds.

Energy prices went up the most with 7.1% spike, followed by food

CPI for New York-Newark-Jersey City went up 1% in April

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

will most likely be running against a Radical Left Democrat named Effie PhillipsStaley…”

The Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the New York-Newark-Jersey City area advanced 1% in April, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported Tuesday.

Regional Commissioner Mark J. Maggi noted that the indexes for all items less food and energy (+0.6%), energy (+7.1%), and food (+1%) rose over the month. (Data in this report are not seasonally adjusted. Accordingly, month-to-month changes may reflect the impact of seasonal influences.)

Within the food-athome group, categories experiencing increases included processed fish and seafood; bread; cakes, cupcakes, and cookies; and other fresh fruits. Prices for food away from home (restaurant, cafeteria, and vending purchases) increased 0.3%.

The food index rose 4.9% over the year. Prices for food at home advanced 5.9%, and prices for food away from home increased 3.4%. All six major grocery store food group indexes rose over the year, led by fruits and vegetables (+11.8%).

Donald Trump endorses Rep. Mike Lawler for re-election

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

In a post on his social media website Truth Social, President Donald Trump issued an enthusiastic endorsement for the re-election of Republican Congressman Mike Lawler to his seat representing New York’s 17th Congressional District. The district includes parts of Westchester and Dutchess and all of Rockland and Putnam.

At the same time, Trump slammed Democrat Effie Phillips-Staley, a Tarrytown trustee, who is running in June’s Democratic Primary for the nomination to oppose Lawler in the November election. Trump accused her of cheating even though a judge had ruled there was no evidence of that.

“Congressman Mike Lawler is doing a terrific job for New York’s 17th Congressional District! Mike

will most likely be running against a Radical Left Democrat named Effie Phillips-Staley, who loves High Taxes, Open Borders, Anti-Semitism, Men in Women’s Sports, and Transgender for Everybody, among other CRAZY ideas,” Trump wrote.

Trump repeated what had been determined in a court case in which Lawler was a plaintiff, that Phillips-Staley’s petitions to get on the primary ballot contained fraudulent signatures. However, Trump failed to mention that Judge David Fried of New York State Supreme Court in Rockland County who decided the case determined, “the Petitioners have not introduced a single piece of evidence to indicate that Candidate Phillips-Staley, her campaign, or the Democratic Party in

whose primary she aspires to participate, personally engaged, knew, or should be chargeable with knowing in any fraudulent activity.”

The judge found that a person who the campaign had hired to gather signatures to get Phillips-Staley on the ballot submitted petitions with some fraudulent names but there were more than enough legitimate names and signatures on Phillips-Staley’s petitions to qualify her to appear on the primary ballot.

Other candidates running in the Democratic Primary include Beth Davidson, Cait Conley, Jessica Reinmann, Mike Sacks and John Cappello. Davidson, Conley and Phillips-Staley are projected to be the front-runners according to recent polling.

In his post, Trump did not make note of the judge's findings and instead said, “Effie Phillips-Sta-

ley’s campaign has just been caught CHEATING, RED-HANDED, trying to file hundreds of fraudulent signatures to get on the ballot. Justice should be sought, and the fraud should be investigated, IMMEDIATELY! Effie Phillips-Staley is a FRAUDSTER, but the good news is that Congressman Mike Lawler is a WINNER, and has my Complete and Total Endorsement — MIKE WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN.”

A scan of Lawler’s Facebook and “X” internet postings for the few days prior to May 9 did not show a post from him accepting Trump’s endorsement or supporting Trump's allegations against Phillips-Staley. There was a post on his Facebook site criticizing Cait Conley for “trying to run on her national security experience, but she won’t answer for her role with the Biden Administration during the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal.”

Fairfield’s Penfield Reef to Be designated Vertical Flight Society Heritage site

By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

FAIRFIELD —The Penfield Reef will be officially designated a Vertical Flight Society Heritage Site, recognizing the location of the world’s first successful helicopter hoist water rescue. That first-in-aviation history act revolutionized search and rescue operations from that day forward and established a model still in use today.

In 1945, during a fierce storm, two men stranded on a barge off Penfield Reef fired emergency flares that were spotted by Fairfield residents along the shoreline. With rescue boats unable to reach the barge, local Fairfield police turned to nearby Sikorsky Aircraft in Stratford to attempt an aerial rescue.

Engineers and flight crews quickly mobilized, preparing a Sikorsky R-5 helicopter equipped with a newly developed hoist system that had only recently been demonstrated to the U.S. Coast Guard. The helicopter with two crew on board hovered above the barge and dropped a note to the men, promising a return with rescue harnesses. On its return, in a firstof-its-kind maneuver, the helicopter rescued the two men in successive lifts, transporting one partially in the cabin, and carrying the other suspended beneath the aircraft.

To commemorate this historic rescue, the Vertical Flight Society (VFS) and Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin Co., will formally designate Penfield Reef as a Heritage Site at 1 p.m. on May 15 at Penfield Pavilion back deck.

The VFS will present to the Town of Fairfield a commemorative plaque honoring the feat. As a tribute, Sikorsky plans to fly a company-owned Black Hawk helicopter to the Penfield Reef from its factory in Bridgeport, hover over the area of rescue, and then return to Bridgeport.

“This remarkable story of bravery, teamwork and innovation is a testament to community action in the face of adversity,” said First Selectperson Christine Vitale. “We are honored to have Penfield Reef recognized as the site where rescue aviation was forever changed. Countless lives have been saved due to the quick response and ingenuity of Sikorsky and the Fairfielders of 1945.”

Sikorsky Vice President and General Manager Rich Benton is proud of his company’s involvement in such a historic rescue event.

“The first-ever helicopter rescue using a hoist showed the world the tremendous potential of a machine that could hover and bring people out of danger,” he said. “Deservedly, the two crew members and two rescuees received the first Sikorsky helicopter rescue awards, a practice we continue 80 years later. Lessons learned from the Penfield Reef incident by Sikorsky engineers changed the trajectory of vertical lift aviation; the design of larger, more powerful helicopters with reliable hoists to bring multiple people on board — capabilities that save thousands of lives every year around the world.”

This moment is woven into the very fabric of vertical flight history, Vertical Flight Society Director Angelo Collins said. “Just miles from where Sikorsky and the Vertical Flight Society were founded in Stratford, Connecticut, this rescue demonstrated, for the first time, what helicopters could truly do. Eighty years later, Sikorsky continues to add new threads of innovation, helping define the broader vertical flight community,” Collins added.`

Owner brews up new business on Federal Road in Brookfield

“Opening a coffee shop has always been my dream… to create a gathering place where people can find comfort, inspiration, and a sense of community.”

A love of coffee inspired Ziqa (Zack) Ullah to take a leap of faith and start a new business after arriving in the U.S. only 13 years ago at age 30. His vision for offering a space where customers can connect, unwind, and experience coffee crafted from seven different regions, became a reality last month when he celebrated the grand opening of 7Beans, a coffee shop located at 782 Federal Road in Brookfield.

Our coffee is freshly ground to order, and customers can select beans from seven unique regions. This personalized approach, combined with our cozy atmosphere and attentive service, ensures every visit is a memorable experience,” said Ullah who oftentimes can be found behind the counter.

“The Economic Development Commission in partnership with the Greater Danbury Chamber are hosting two ribbon cuttings a month – a trend that we hope continues. I have been talking to business owners who tell me they are pleased with the activity they are seeing in their stores. Offering variety to shoppers and residents is complimentary to everything Brookfield has to offer."

“There is a growing trend toward specialty coffees and personalized experiences,” he added. “Customers are seeking high-quality beans, unique blends, and the opportunity to explore flavors from around the world.”

— Zack Ullah

“Opening a coffee shop has always been my dream. I have a deep passion for coffee culture and the way it brings people together,” Ullah said. “The inspiration comes from wanting to create a gathering place where people can find comfort, inspiration, and a sense of community – as I’ve always envisioned.”

Ullah acknowledges the retail coffee business is a competitive industry, but he, along with a staff of seven, is ready for the challenge.

“We set ourselves apart by focusing on quality, authenticity, and choice.

Ullah designed it to be cozy and inviting, featuring a sleek rustic farmhouse-style ambiance with wood tables, modern orange chairs, glass cases, and a coffee-themed mural.

According to Brookfield Community Development Specialist Greg Dembowski, 7Beans is among several new business in opening in town over the past several months.

“Zack (Ullah) is among a group of other franchisees and entrepreneurs who have opened store fronts along Brookfield's commercial corridor on Federal Road,” he said. “In 2025, for example, several restaurants reopened with new menus, and the Food Emporium opened in the heart of the Town Center District.

A large portion of the 7Beans menu focuses on coffee.

“Our coffee is locally sourced, and sustainability is very important to us; we strive to support local suppliers and maintain environmentally friendly practices,” Ullah said.

The menu includes iced coffee, hot coffee, iced and hot tea, Turkish coffee, and mocktails.

As for the name, it was inspired by the seven regions the café’s coffee beans are sourced from, Ullah said. He described the coffee as “refinement in a cup.” The coffee beans are harvested with care, curated to feature a wide range of bold, balanced, and nuanced flavor profiles and roasted in small batches by passionate artisans, to preserve peak flavor and aroma.

The menu also includes variety of fresh food options, including bagels; muffins; danish; mini chocolate lava cakes; tarts; macarons; cheesecake; Mediterranean Kessh; bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches, and more. Many of the baked goods are made on-site daily.

For Ullah, who also owns the Edible Arrangements franchise business, this is his first venture building a business from scratch. “I’ve always been dedicated to learning, growing, and serving others,” he said. “The journey is new, but my commitment to excellence and hospitality is strong, and I’m excited to bring my vision to life.”

Looking ahead, Ullah plans to improve the business.

“Our long-term goal is growth, both in serving more people and deepening our roots in the community,” he added. “We hope to expand our offerings, reach new neighborhoods, and continue evolving to meet the needs of our guests.”
