Rockland County leadership adopts ‘Envision Rockland’ comprehensive plan By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

Rockland County has adopted a new Comprehensive Plan, Envision Rockland, according to County Executive Ed Day and Rockland County Legislature Chairman Jay Hood Jr. The plan provides goals, policies, and recommendations to help the county and its municipalities address current challenges and opportunities while building a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future across Rockland for the next 10 to 15 years.

It will guide housing, transportation, economic opportunity, open space, infrastructure improvements

“Our county looks very different than when we adopted our last Comprehensive Plan in 2011, and our planning efforts must reflect that,” Day said. “Envision Rockland gives us a roadmap for protecting the quality of life our residents value while confronting some of our biggest challenges, from housing affordability and traffic congestion to protecting our water supply and preserving open space. Most importantly, this plan recognizes that the decisions we make today will shape the Rockland our children and grandchildren inherit tomorrow.” Led by the Rockland County Department of Planning, the 20-month planning process brought together County departments and leadership, municipalities, residents, workers, community stakeholders, and other partners to identify current challenges and establish priorities for Rockland’s future.

The plan addresses such as issues as expanding affordable and diverse housing options, traffic congestion, economic development and infrastructure. Rockland County’s last comprehensive plan was adopted in 2011. It provides goals, recommendations, and planning tools to help guide decision-making and support coordination among municipalities; it does not regulate local land use or dictate where development should occur. “This comprehensive plan can serve as a guide for Rockland’s future,” County Legislature Chairman Jay Hood Jr. said. “It reflects extensive public input and provides a framework for addressing important issues such as housing, transportation, economic development, the environment and quality of life.” The plan also recommends an updated land-use strategy that encourages growth and reinvestment in established and emerging town and village centers while protecting parks, farmland, environmentally sensitive areas, and established neighborhoods. “Adopting a Comprehensive Plan isn’t the finish line — it’s the starting point,” Day added. “Our focus will be turning this vision into action and continuing to work alongside our municipalities and community partners to keep Rockland moving forward.”

NY energy rebate checks to be mailed starting Sept. 21 By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

WE SAVE AND BRING CLEAN WATER TO YOUR TAP Our members share your concerns for water cleanliness and conservation.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Sept. 14 that energy rebate checks of up to $200 will be sent to 8.2 million households across New York state starting on Sept. 21. It’s expected that it will take until almost the end of the year for all of the checks to go into the mail. “Too many families are struggling with rising household energy bills and soaring gas prices at the pump — and that's why we're putting money directly back in New Yorkers' pockets by sending energy rebate checks to millions of families as part of our affordability agenda,” Hochul said. The latest state budget included a one-time $1 billion allocation for the energy rebates. Hochul positioned the rebates as helping to provide needed relief in the face of Donald Trump's tariffs pushing up costs for consumers and the war against Iran pushing up energy costs. Checks for $200 will go to joint filers of New York state tax returns with incomes under $150,000 and $150 to joint filers with incomes between $150,000 and $300,000. Single filers with incomes under $150,000 will receive $100. People are eligible for a rebate credit check if, for tax year 2024, they: filed a timely New York State Resident Income Tax Return; were a full-time resident in New York state; reported income within the qualifying thresholds; and were not claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s return. New York State Department of Taxation and Finance Commissioner Amanda Hiller said that her department is working to get the checks those who are eligible as quickly as possible.

Rep. Himes helps table Trump impeachment vote By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com of East Hartford, issued a statement about his vote “As Donald Trump wages an illegal war in Iran and terrorizes immigrant communities with Gestapo tactics in our neighborhoods, I filed articles of impeachment to hold him accountable for these continued violations of the law and his blatant disregard for the Constitution of the United States,” Rep. Larson said. “While Republicans thought they could divide Democrats on this vote, we remain united in the effort to hold him accountable for his abuses of power and failed agenda hurting the American people. “Make no mistake—real impeachment proceedings will move forward when Democrats retake control of the House of Representatives for the American people.” Larson, who lost his Democratic primary to former Hartford Mayor Luke Bronin and will not be on the ballot

U.S. Rep. Jim Himes was the only congressman from the Connecticut delegation to vote Tuesday with leadership to halt a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump. The House voted 232–147 to table and kill an impeachment resolution brought by Texas U.S. outgoing Rep. Al Green against President Trump, with leadership and 46 Democrats voting "present." Himes, a Democrat who represents the state’s Fourth District that includes most of Fairfield County, was one of those to vote “present.” Himes did not issue a comment regarding his vote. Himes’ four other colleagues – Rosa DeLauro, Joe Courtney, Jahana Hayes and John Larson – voted against the resolution to table a vote on the impeachment. Of the five Connecticut representatives, only John Larson

in November after serving for more than 25 years, had filed 13 articles of impeachment in April. Rep. Green, who has filed similar unsuccessful articles of impeachment against Trump in the past, sought to impeach the president this time over the conduct of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. That included the killings of Renee Good, Alex Pretti,

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo and Johan Sebastian Duran Guerrero by federal immigration agents earlier this year. Additionally, Green cited President Trump’s call for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers, all of whom are currently serving in the U.S. Senate or U.S. House of Representatives and who previously served in the U.S. military or in U.S. intelligence communities, in response to a short video that they posted on Nov. 18, 2025. That video urged current members of the military and intelligence communities to adhere to the Constitution and the laws of our country. They specifically said: “Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”

County International Airport a few miles west of Monticello, NY. The 6,000-foot runway was pressed into major service only a couple weeks later, when the legendary Woodstock festival bands started flying in and the emergency choppers started flying out. While the Airport has continued to play host to international stars performing at local hotels (or just jetting in for their own relaxing getaway), the original dream of a vibrant, attractive aviation hub has – pardon the pun – never really taken off. Yes, there was scheduled airline service in the 1970s – even flights to Canada, earning the “International” part of its name. And it continues to provide a haven for pilots (who rent hangars from us), planes (propeller-driven and jet-powered), the Civil Air Patrol, Hatzolah Air, and our 911 Center. Aviation fuel sales remain strong, and with an average of 72 takeoffs and landings every week, the Airport by no means goes unused. But we know it’s capable of far more. And that’s why we were thrilled when Gov. Kathy Hochul included Sullivan County in her Upstate Airport Economic Development and Revitalization Program, giving us $18.5 million to construct a new, energy-efficient terminal via the NYS Department of Transportation.

NYMC opens expanded Clinical Skills and Simulation Center By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

New York Medical College (NYMC) in Valhalla has opened its newly renovated Clinical Skills and Simulation Center (CSSC) with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The CSSC has been expanded in size by 5,000 square feet, bringing its total to 27,000 square feet. The renovation added seven new medical suites, classrooms, and labs, along with two additional standardized patient exam rooms, bringing the total to 22. The upgrades also include a new entrance to the center. Alan Kadish, M.D., president of Touro University and NYMC said, “Investing in a facility of this caliber ensures that our students are trained to the highest standard, and it reinforces NYMC's role as a leader in medical education, both regionally and nationally.” Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who obtained federal funding for the project said, "This state-of-the-art facility will

expand access to hands-on clinical training, ensuring students are better prepared to provide high-quality care to patients and helping to address New York’s healthcare workforce shortage.” According to Edward C. Halperin, M.D., M.A., chancellor and chief executive officer of NYMC, “As health care keeps grows increasingly complex, our responsibility to train physicians and clinicians who are ready on day one grows right along with it. This facility helps us meet that responsibility.” Among the features of the CSSC are a birthing simulator known as MamaAnne and a variety of manikins representing patients of varying ages, skin tones, and abilities that are used to help students train for treating the full range of patients they'll encounter during their medical careers. “This is more than a renovation,” said Katharine Yamulla, M.H.E.A.,

RCC opens new $3M nursing simulation lab By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com state-of-the-art learning environment will give our students expanded opportunities to practice those skills and prepare for careers in health care.” The new simulation lab includes simulators capable of reproducing complex patient conditions and physiological reactions, including childbirth, seizures and medical emergencies. Health care teams are taught to identify and manage high-risk obstetric emergencies and prepare nurses to respond to the leading causes of maternal mortality. Technology and learning tools also include a virtual reality program and an anatomy table that enables them to explore human anatomy in an interactive, three-dimensional environment. RCC says that it currently has more than 515 students currently enrolled in its nursing program.

Rockland Community College (RCC) in Suffern has held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the opening of its new $3 million Nursing Simulation Lab. Funded through the federal 2023 Omnibus Appropriations Bill, the new laboratory is five times larger than RCC’s previous simulation area.

Revisions to 418 North Division project presented at Peekskill public hearing By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com There also would be a 2,000-square-feet community space. Revised rendering of 418 North Division Street proposal in Peekskill. There are four lots involved that would need to be merged into a single lot as a condition of approval before a building permit would be issued. The lots are at 418 N. Division St., and 407, 425 and 427 Highland Ave. The proposed new building would have frontage on Highland Avenue, N. Division Street, and Constant Avenue in a C-3 General Commercial District. The developer has responded to comments from city staff, the public and the Planning Commission by making changes to the proposal. “The community room we have on Highland Avenue is now activated and we’ve been discussing programming with Peekskill Arts Alliance and Larry D’Amico from the Peekskill Arts Alliance is here tonight as well in support of the project,” Attorney Kathleen Bradshaw said at the Sept. 14 Common Council public hearing

Stagg Group, through the entity 418 North Division Street LLC, has presented revisions to its plan to build a mixed-use building at 418 N. Division St. in the city to the Peekskill Common Council. Original rendering of proposed 418 North Division Street building.

The proposed building would provide 158 affordable income-restricted apartments for tenants earning from 50% to 80% of the Area Median Income. It has just over 5,200 square feet of ground floor commercial space and 225 on-site parking spaces for both the residential and commercial space.

on the project. “The retail spaces that we were looking at, various individual small retail components, now we have The Little Kings and Queens Daycare, which is already located in the city of Peekskill, who would be very interested in the space and we were able to work with them to make the space usable as a daycare and some playground space at the building as well for them.” Architect Brian Newman of the firm Newman Design explained that the facade of the building has been completely redesigned so that instead of looking like a single large building it would look like a group of smaller buildings in keeping with the character of structures that traditionally have made up the city’s downtown. “It looks like a series of buildings that are throughout Peekskill,” Newman said. “We’ve reviewed historic images; we’ve photographed existing buildings. We’ve really reduced the massing, broken up the facade, changed the materials.” Original rendering of proposed 418 North Division Street building. Newman explained that the daycare facility would have direct

access to the parking structure for drop-off during foul weather area as well as to the street. He explained that there would be an outdoor recreation space for the daycare facility that would be sheltered by the building above and would be screened for security purposes and to prevent children from leaving. Peekskill’s Mayor Vivian McKenzie said the public hearing would continue in October. “We don’t take lightly what you bring to us,” McKenzie said to members of the public who were at the hearing. “You can see from the original concept to now that we listened to everything people that are saying. Can we accommodate everything? No, but we certainly listen to what the public wants and what the concerns are. As we come back to additional public hearings we’ll be able to talk about this with a little more detail. This is the beginning of this process. We’re not ready to put a shovel in the ground and start tomorrow. I don’t want people to think that. There’s a lot that has to be taken care of.”

COURTS

Greenburgh couple sues to close $1.55M house deal By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

Demand title and $500,000

A Greenburgh company owned in part by a real estate agent has been sued for allegedly refusing to consummate the sale of a house. Richard and Yael Rothman are demanding $500,000 from M3M Properties LLC in a lawsuit filed on Sept. 1 in Westchester Supreme Court. "The original closing date came and went," the complaint states, and M3M "refused to close or cooperate in scheduling a closing at any time thereafter." The property in question is a 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom, 2,400-square-foot house built in 1940 on a quarter-acre lot on Medford

Lane, Greenburgh. The house is near the Central Park Avenue commercial district and carries a Scarsdale postal code. Margaret Tummolo, who has operated Tummolo Real Estate at the same address, transferred the property to M3M in 2024. She is a member of M3M, according to court records, and Michael W. Miele is the managing member. On May 15, the Rothmans, who lived about 900 feet away on Hadden Road, agreed to pay $1,550,000 for the Medford Lane house, including a $155,000 down payment. The closing was set for June 26, but M3M allegedly refused to close or to cooperate in scheduling another time.

The Rothman's attorney proposed a late July closing but M3M allegedly objected that the timeframe was too tight. M3M said it would provide a mutually acceptable closing date, the complaint states, but never did. On July 24, the Rothman's attorney set Aug. 31 as a time-of-the-essence closing date. Then M3M's attorney said he was no longer representing the company, according to the complaint. On Aug. 24 a new attorney said he had advised M3M to seek court approval for the sale because Tummolo and Miele, but not M3M, had been sued in 2025 over a dog bite incident on the property. The "bizarre letter," the complaint states, illustrates that M3M is "grasp-

ing at straws and sheer desperation to get out of the contract by any means, including a patently frivolous one." The Rothmans tendered the $1,395,000 contract balance on Aug. 31, according to the complaint, but M3M "was a no show" and no one accepted the funds or conveyed the property title. The Rothmans are accusing M3M of breaches of contract and are asking the court to compel M3M to convey the title and pay at least $500,000 in monetary damages. The Rothman's are represented by White Plains attorney Joshua J. Grauer, of Cuddy & Fedder LLP. M3M's attorney, Jeffrey S. Lanzet, did not reply to a message asking for his clients' responses to the allegations.

GOP nominee Fazio wants six debates with Dem Gov. Lamont By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

HARTFORD — While Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont has agreed to two general election gubernatorial debates, Republican and Independent Party nominee Sen. Ryan Fazio has called for a minimum of six debates, including at least two held before early voting begins in October. The Lamont campaign has so far agreed to just two debates, both scheduled after Connecticut voters have already started casting ballots, according to Fazio’s campaign. The Fazio campaign’s internal polling shows that 57% of voters believe it is time for someone new, while Fazio’s support increases significantly after voters hear more about both candidates and their records. The campaign says the numbers make it even more important for voters to hear directly from both candidates before casting their ballots. A poll released by Sacred Heart University, WFSB TV and CT Insider shows the governor with a double-digit lead over Fazio. The second of three polls conducted by GreatBlue Research tracks Connecticut voters ahead of the November election. The study finds Lamont leading Fazio 48%-34%. While Lamont’s support has remained relatively steady since July, when he received 50%, Fazio has gained ground, increasing his support from 30%-34%. Another 18% of voters remain undecided. “The numbers show this race is close, and the governor’s continual rejection of debates shows that he knows it too,” Fazio said. “It would be a disservice to the voters of Connecticut to ask them to start casting their ballots before we’ve even had a debate. “They deserve the chance to hear direct-

ly from both candidates, side by side, on the issues that affect their lives. Ned Lamont has had eight years to lead this state, and voters deserve answers about his record and the challenges Connecticut families are facing today. If he can defend that record, he should have no problem debating me. I’m ready to have that conversation.” The Lamont campaign issued a response to the Fairfield County Business Journal regarding Fazio's request for six debates. "Governor Lamont has already agreed to ten public opportunities to make his case to Connecticut voters, including two head-tohead debates," according to an email from Lamont's campaign. "This was never really about debates, it's about a Fazio campaign that's desperate, behind in the polls and busier playing superhero than offering a real vision for Connecticut." Fazio’s campaign has received and accepted debate invitations from a WFSB/CT Insider, NBC30, Fox61 and the Hartford Business Journal, WTNH/Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, Sacred Heart University and Fairfield University as well. Fazio is calling for an additional debate on radio to round out a total of six. Lamont has rejected at least two debates — including a joint debate hosted by Fox61 and the Hartford Business Journal, according to Fazio’s campaign.

A physician and educator at Weill Cornell Medicine, Dr. Saunders co-founded FlyteHealth to bring rigorous, evidence-based care for obesity and cardio-kidney-metabolic conditions to people who could not otherwise reach it—beyond the handful of clinics and cities where that care has traditionally lived. She has spent her career insisting these conditions deserve serious science, and that patients deserve to be treated with dignity. Her work sits where medicine, entrepreneurship, and access meet, and it reflects something central to WBDC's own mission: health access is economic access.

“ Patients often present to FlyteHealth apologizing, as if a medical condition were a personal failure. It isn’t. With the right care, people regain energy, confidence, and the ability to thrive at work and in life. That’s why this WBDC recognition matters: health and opportunity are inseparable.”

The Women’s Business Development Council educates, motivates, and empowers women to achieve economic independence and self-sufficiency. Since 1997, WBDC has educated and trained over 26,000 clients—helping women to launch, sustain, and scale over 17,700 businesses, create and maintain more than 46,100 jobs in Connecticut, and access over $97 million in capital.

Quinnipiac Poll: Nearly half of Americans want Dems to take the House By Gary Larkin / glarkin@westfairinc.com

HAMDEN – Less than two months until the midterm elections, 49% of voters would want to see the Democratic Party win control of the U.S. House of Representatives if the election were today, while 38% would want to see the Republican Party maintain control of the House, with 13% not offering an opinion, according to the latest Quinnipiac University poll A plurality of voters (46%) think the Democratic Party is more in touch with the concerns of most people in the United States, while 35% think the Republican Party is more in touch and 13% volunteer that there is no difference between the two parties. "Which political party is most inclined to have your back? While

neither gets high marks generally, the Democrats are judged more empathetic when it comes to the concerns of voters," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.9/11 attacks The poll also surveyed registered voters regarding the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. Fifty-two percent think the U.S. is less safe, 37% think the U.S. is safer, and 4% volunteer the level of safety is the same.

TRUMP APPROVAL RATING

Thirty-three percent of voters approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president, while 59% disapprove, with 8% not offering an opinion.

That was the mantra Master of Ceremonies Christina Dufour, executive coach with Carnelian Connection, repeated throughout the night. “Looking back, I’ve realized something. Innovation has an admission price,” Dufour said. “More often than not, it’s uncertainty. Every meaningful innovation asks us the same question: Are you willing to keep going before you know how the story ends? “I don’t think that’s just my story. I think it’s the story of every single person in this room that has created something that didn’t exist before. The common thread isn’t certainty; it’s trust. Trust that you can figure out the next step. Trust that your vision is worth pursuing. And trust that uncertainty doesn’t necessarily mean you are on the wrong path.” Samantha Pardal-Jerez, director of government affairs for Long Island City-based Optimum Communications, certainly sees herself in the mold of what Dufour was preaching. “I’m a connector. I’m fierce. Some people might say I’m too much sometimes,” Pardal-Jerez said. “I’m in the business of connectivity. We’re broadband. We’re cable. We’re a mobile telecommunications provider. At the end of the day, my job is to make connections.” To put it simply, her job is to make connections in the industry of connectivity.

“Whether I’m out and lobbying a piece of legislation and I have to have a relationship with elected officials to influence the outcome of that policy or whether I’m partnering with a not-for-profit so we can express some community goodwill, I’m always about bringing people together,” she said. She explained how being “unstoppable” has helped her cope with being a woman in a male-dominated industry. “It’s even harder when I’ve been in this position 10 years and you go back five years and am I not the only female in the room but I’m the youngest,” Pardal-Jerez said. “I’m not given any authority or respect. One time I had someone tell me, ‘When is your boss coming?’ Where’s the decision-maker?’ I said, ‘well, that’s me. I’m the expert. It something that really humbles you.” Beverly Balaz, president and CEO of the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, is one of the 25 Westfair Business Journal's Women Innovators of the Year.

And she did it through inspiration and relationship building. “Anyone who knows me I live and

die by building relationships and building business,” Balaz said. “I believe in that so strongly. I meet everyone in person, sit down, face to face. I still have contacts from when I was in publishing. Relationships are so very important.” Those words are literally in the chamber’s motto: “Fairfield Chamber of Commerce: Building Relationships, Building Business. Stephane Weston, district manager and first vice president of Apple Bank in Westchester, has been fearless in her pursuit of a career in banking the past 40 years. For her, change has driven to become the successful banker she is “Change is the only thing constant in life,” Weston said. “If we can’t move, we have a problem. You have to be flexible.” She credits her drive for change to her husband of 45 years, Tom Weston. “If it wasn’t for his support throughout my whole career, I wouldn’t be standing up here tonight as a woman innovator. I believe behind every good woman is a strong man.”

Eye on Small Business — Eye Candy Boudoir, Scarsdale By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

Once largely associated with bridal gifts, boudoir photography — intimate, sensual portraiture traditionally featuring women in lingerie or other revealing outfits — is serious business these days. Indeed, the genre has broadened considerably in recent years, with growing numbers of women booking sessions for themselves rather than for a partner, so that “modern boudoir” is increasingly about self-expression as much as sex appeal.

Andi Schreiber,

founder and owner of Eye Candy Boudoir in Scarsdale. Courtesy Alison Sheehy Photography.

For Scarsdale photographer Andi Schreiber, those two are not mutually exclusive. Through Eye Candy Boudoir , she combines professional portraiture with glamour, playfulness and, yes, just the merest touch of the risqué. The result is a business that is as much about how women feel as how they look — although looking pretty fabulous certainly doesn’t hurt. Schreiber has lived in Scarsdale for many years and considers Westchester County home. In a recent interview, she told Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal how her photography career began in high school and has included family portraits, events, headshots, branding sessions and fine-art photography. And she explained that much of her business has grown through relationships, referrals and connections within the local community. “I really love working in a community where people aren’t just names on a contact form,” Schreiber said. “There are relationships behind the work.” Eye Candy Boudoir developed organically from that broader photography career. Schreiber said she never set out with a master plan to become a boudoir photographer. Rather, she discovered that she particularly enjoyed photographing women in a way that went beyond simply pro-

ducing an attractive picture. The lightbulb moment came when women who arrived convinced that they were “not photogenic” saw their finished images and “fell in love” with what they saw. “I realized there was a real need for an experience that wasn’t just, ‘Stand here, smile, and I’ll make you look good,’” she said. And that is where things started to get interesting — because boudoir photography is, after all, not exactly a passport photo. Schreiber’s sessions are private, judgment-free and highly guided. Clients do not need to know how to pose, where to put their hands or what, exactly, to do with a pair of high heels and a camera pointed in their direction. That, as she put it, is her job. Schreiber directs everything from body positioning and movement to the finer details, while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and playful. There is conversation, music, laughter and sometimes even dancing. Put another way, Schreiber’s version of boudoir is considerably more fun than standing against a white wall saying “cheese.” Her clients are equally varied. Women book sessions to celebrate birthdays and milestones, mark major life changes, reconnect with themselves or simply because they have decided there is no good reason to keep waiting. And a significant number are women in their 40s, 50s and beyond — something Schreiber embraces. “I truly believe that women become more beautiful as they age,” she said. “They have lived more, experienced more and often know themselves in a different way.” And she believes women should not become less visible as they get older. If anything, she wants them to become more willing to take up space — preferably while looking fabulous. There is still a stereotype attached to the word “boudoir,” however. Schreiber said some people immediately picture lingerie, high heels and photographs intended primarily for somebody else’s enjoyment. While there can

Westfair Business Journal | September 21, 2026

certainly be lingerie and high heels — Eye Candy is not going to apologize for either — Schreiber sees the genre as considerably broader. For her, the photographs are important, but so is the experience of seeing oneself differently. And her tagline captures the philosophy perfectly: “Boudoir Isn’t the Reward. It’s the Rebellion.” There is a serious business proposition beneath the playful packaging. Eye Candy Boudoir is structured as a full portrait experience, with planning, preparation, wardrobe guidance and consultation taking place before she even picks up a camera. After the session comes an image reveal, when clients see their photographs for the first time. They can then purchase images as albums, digital photographs, artwork or a combination. The photography session, Schreiber explained, is only the beginning. The finished photographs and artwork represent the larger investment — and are intended to be treasured for decades rather than posted and forgotten by Tuesday. Looking ahead, Schreiber sees opportunities for Eye Candy Boudoir to grow as women become increasingly comfortable talking about aging, visibility, confidence and self-expression. But she has no desire to turn it into a high-volume photography factory. The personal nature of the business is fundamental to its value. Clients are trusting her with something intimate, which requires more than good lighting and a flattering camera angle. It requires connection and a photographer who knows when to direct, when to reassure — and perhaps when to turn up the music. For Schreiber, boudoir may involve a little lace, a little laughter and the occasional raised eyebrow. But beneath the fun is a serious business built around an equally serious proposition: Women deserve to see themselves as beautiful, desirable and worth celebrating. And if that happens to involve fabulous photographs along the way? Well, that’s just the icing on the cake — or perhaps, in this particular line of work, the garter on the stocking.

Contractors sued over abandoned Ossining project By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

Two construction firms that worked on an Ossining apartment building have been sued for allegedly abandoning the project. Samba Management Corp. is seeking more than $500,000 from RJ Design and Build Inc. and Aramco 1 USA Corp., in a lawsuit filed on Sept. 3 in Westchester Supreme Court. "This action arises," the complaint states, "from the failure to complete and properly perform construction work at 14 Church Street, Ossining." Two years ago, Angelo Tradito of Samba Management, Valhalla, agreed to pay RJ Design, of Ossining, $954,500 to build a 3rd floor, 4,500-square-foot addition to an apartment building on Church Street near State Route 9. The job was supposed to begin in October 2024 and be completed by July 30, 2025, according to the complaint. RJ Design subcontracted substantial portions of the work to Aramco, of Kearny, New Jersey, according to the complaint. Samba says it paid RJ Design and Aramco $779,782, up to March 11, 2026, mostly for roofing work. On May 14, Aramco allegedly abandoned the project. The value of the completed work at that point was $457,500, according to the complaint, thus the contractors had been overpaid by $322,282. Samba claims it incurred another $25,000 to repair buckled roof tiles and other damages to the building and to remove construction debris. This past May, a lumber supplier claimed it was owed nearly $128,000 for materials used on the project. In August, the project failed a village building department inspection and Samba had to pay its architect to revise the drawings. Samba issued a default notice on July 23 and demanded $347,282 from RJ Design and Aramco, according to the complaint. They did not comply. Samba is accusing RJ Design of breach of contract and Aramco of unjust enrichment. Besides the $347,282, it is demanding nearly $128,000 to pay the lumber supplier, unspecified expenses for completing the project, and $500 for every day the project went over schedule.

The not-so-hidden pests of fall (and how to get rid of them) by JIM MCHALE

As the weather cools and fall arrives (at 8:05 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 22), area homeowners start spending more time indoors. So, too, do some pests and wildlife, which are preparing for the new season inside and out. Ticks stay active, mosquitoes can stick around during warm September days and spotted lanternflies become easier to spot, while rodents and other animals start searching for food, shelter and warmth for the coming months. Our region has a mix of woods, wetlands, waterways and suburban areas, which gives pests and wildlife many chances to get closer to homes. The good news is that fall is a great time to tackle these problems before they get harder to handle.

TICKS ARE STILL ACTIVE IN THE FALL

Don’t put away the tick kits just because summer is over. Ticks can stay active all fall, especially if the weather stays mild. Adult ticks are busiest from August to November. Leaf piles, tall grass, brush and woods are perfect places for ticks. Deer, mice and other animals can bring ticks into your yard. Fall activities like hiking, walking or raking leaves can also raise your chances of coming into contact with ticks. They can spread Lyme disease and other illnesses. Many of us are also learning about Alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), a serious allergy that can develop after a tick bite. Homeowners can reduce tick-friendly conditions by: • Keeping grass short and vegetation trimmed; • Removing leaf litter, brush and unnecessary debris from frequently used areas; • Creating a transition area between lawns and wooded areas; • Trimming vegetation around patios, play areas and other outdoor spaces; • Keeping children and pets away from tall grass and dense brush when possible; • Wearing long sleeves, long pants and closed-toe shoes when spending time in areas where ticks may be present;

• Using an appropriate tick repellent according to label directions; • Checking yourself, children and pets for ticks after outdoor activities. Hiring a professional tick management service can also help lower the number of ticks in areas you use often around your property.

MOSQUITO SEASON MAY BE LINGERING

Just because nights are cooler doesn’t mean mosquitoes are gone. Warm September days can keep mosquitoes around, especially near standing water, wetlands, ponds and other breeding spots. Earlier this summer, Westchester County found very high numbers of mosquitoes in parts of Mamaroneck, including Otter Creek Preserve, Otter Creek (a tributary to Guion Creek) and Magid Pond. Mosquito presence depends on weather and location, so homeowners should keep taking precautions as long as temperatures stay warm. To make your property less attractive to mosquitoes: • Empty standing water from planters, buckets, toys and other containers; • Keep gutters clean and free of debris; • Keep grass, shrubs and vegetation maintained; • Make sure window and door screens are intact; • Use Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)-registered mosquito repellent according to label directions. If you had a lot of mosquitoes this summer, consider keeping up mosquito protection into the fall, especially if the weather stays warm, as predicted for the Northeast, due to the Super El Niño event. JP McHale Pest Management spotted lanternfly map. `

SPOTTED LANTERNFLIES ARE AT THEIR MOST NOTICEABLE

If you have seen more spotted lanternflies around your property lately, you are not imagining things. These insects become easier to spot in late summer and fall as adults get more active around trees, landscaping and outdoor areas. This invasive pest doesn't bite or sting, but large numbers can be a ma-

jor nuisance. Spotted lanternflies feed on plants and trees and make honeydew, a sticky substance that can cover plants, cars, outdoor furniture and more. They also travel easily. Adults and eggs can hitch a ride on vehicles, furniture, landscaping materials and equipment. Homeowners should: • Check vehicles and outdoor equipment for spotted lanternflies and egg masses; • Inspect outdoor furniture and other items before moving them; • Look for lanternflies around trees and landscaping; • Pay particular attention to treeof-heaven, one of the insect’s preferred host plants; • Avoid unnecessarily transporting potentially infested materials; • Keep landscaping maintained and monitor areas where lanternflies are concentrated. Fall is a key time to watch for spotted lanternflies and take steps to keep them from spreading to new places.

RODENTS AND WILDLIFE ARE LOOKING FOR A WAY INSIDE

As it gets colder, homeowners may notice more rodents and wildlife looking for shelter. Mice, rats, squirrels, raccoons, bats and other animals can squeeze through small openings around your home to find a safe place

Westfair Business Journal | September 21, 2026

to nest or overwinter. A gap around a roofline, vent, chimney, foundation or utility entry point may be all an animal needs to get inside. Before colder weather arrives, homeowners should: • Inspect the home's exterior for cracks and openings; • Check rooflines, soffits, vents and chimneys; • Make sure screens and vents are properly secured; • Seal gaps around pipes, wires and other utility entry points; • Keep firewood elevated and away from the home’s exterior; • Secure garbage and remove potential outdoor food sources; • Store pet food in sealed containers; • Remove debris and clutter that can provide shelter for rodents and wildlife; • Watch for scratching, scurrying or other signs of activity inside the home. • Seal entry points in the fall, before animals have a chance to move in.

FALL YARD CLEANUP CAN HELP REDUCE PEST PROBLEMS

Cleaning up your yard in the fall does more than just make it look tidy. It also removes places where pests and wildlife can find food and shelter. Leaf piles, overgrown plants, fallen fruit, wood piles and outdoor clutter can all give rodents, ticks and other pests good places to hide. As part of seasonal maintenance, homeowners should: • Remove excess leaf litter from areas where people and pets spend time; • Trim overgrown vegetation; • Clear brush and unnecessary debris; • Clean gutters and downspouts; • Keep wood piles elevated and away from home; • Remove fallen fruit from trees; • Secure outdoor garbage and compost; • Inspect sheds, garages and other structures for evidence of pests or wildlife. Taking a few simple steps now can help you avoid more pest problems later in the season.

Making your credit cards work for you by BEN SOCCODATO AND CHRIS KAMPITSIS

Most people use credit cards to pay for things. Smart people use credit cards to get paid back for things. If you're not being strategic about how you use your cards, you're leaving real money and real perks on the table.

First, understand the three categories of credit-card rewards:

Cash back

is straightforward and flexible. A percentage of what you spend comes back to you as a statement credit or deposit. Great for people who want simplicity over complexity.

FIND THE CARDS THAT MATCH HOW YOU ACTUALLY SPEND

Before opening a new card, look at where your money goes. Do you spend heavily on groceries, dining, travel or gas? Cards are built to reward those categories, often at three, four or five times the standard rate. Matching your card to your spending habits is one of the simplest ways to accelerate your rewards without changing your behavior. There are also platforms and tools designed to tell you which card to swipe in which situation to maximize your return at any given merchant. If you carry multiple cards, these can be a game changer.

Travel rewards

earn points or miles that can be redeemed for flights, hotels and more. The redemption value can far exceed what cash back would offer, if you use them right.

Point-based programs are tied to specific ecosystems like airline, hotel or retail loyalty programs. These can be valuable for frequent travelers and shoppers.

“Matching your card to your spending habits is one of the simplest ways to accelerate your rewards without changing your behavior.”

DON'T OVERLOOK THE BUILT-IN BENEFITS

Rewards points are just the beginning. Many credit cards come loaded with benefits that people never even use, including • Trip cancellation and travel protection; • Rental car insurance; • Free checked bags; • TSA Precheck or Global Entry credits; • Purchase protection and extended warranties. These benefits alone can easily justify an annual fee and, for frequent travelers, they can save hundreds of dollars a year without earning a single point.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Rewards and credits earned strategically can help you accomplish goals that would otherwise require capital you may not have. A free flight, a covered hotel stay, cash back that offsets a monthly bill: None of it requires spending more, just spending smarter. The golden rule applies: This works if you're paying your statement balance in full each month. Interest charges will always outpace rewards, so the foundation has to be disciplined spending first.

Westchester film and TV production generated $1.85B in 2025 By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

“These results show what happens when a county makes a real commitment to welcoming the film and television industry.”

— Ken Jenkins, Westchester County executive

Film and television production in Westchester generated $1.85 billion in economic impact in 2025, according to a new annual economic impact report. “Data show significant growth in production, employment and overall economic and fiscal impact demonstrating the strength of the county’s film-ready ecosystem and its ability to support every type of production from recurring television series to commercial content and feature films,” Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said. The new report found that total jobs supported by the industry rose by 86% in 2025, from 3,103 to 5,757, with 2,434 jobs tied directly to production activity. Total employee earnings reached $535.6 million, including $262.2 million in direct earnings. Productions filmed across the county for 1,636 total production days, which the report said demonstrates the continued strength of the film sector in Westchester. Steven Spielberg directing a scene

Film production also generated local revenues, including $4.3 million in sales tax and $4.4 million in lodging-related sales and occupancy taxes. The county and its municipalities reported nearly $1.7 million in permit, location, and rental fees. In total, the fiscal benefit of the film industry to Westchester County and its municipalities reached $12.3 million in 2025, a 62% increase over 2024. “These results show what happens when a county makes a real commitment to welcoming the film and television industry,” Jenkins said, “We’re focused on making Westchester easy to work in, streamlining permitting, coordinating across our municipalities, and making sure productions can find everything they need right here in Westchester. Our communities are film-friendly, the doors are open, and the industry is responding.”

Natasha Caputo, director of Westchester County Tourism & Film, said, “Westchester offers productions something increasingly valuable: the ability to sustain filming over time while accessing an extraordinary range of locations within a compact area. We have the fundamentals in place including diverse locations, soundstage infrastructure, and hundreds of local partners who understand the pace and demands of production. Just as importantly, we still have capacity and room to grow.” According to Josh Levin, vice president for the northeast region of the Motion Picture Association (MPA), “When film, television, and streaming productions choose a location, they create high-quality jobs, support local businesses, and boost the economy. Westchester continues to be a proven destination of choice for productions because it has built a reputation for reliability, versatility, and strong local collaboration. The county is clearly committed to creating an environment for productions to succeed and this report shows the results of that sustained effort.”

AFFORDABLE HOUSING

Yonkers Housing Authority beginning new affordable housing homeownership program By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

The Yonkers Housing Authority (YHA) is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to seek a development team for a new homeownership program that would construct affordable housing on several parcels YHA owns in the city. The RFQ, with a Sept. 15 release date, asks for nonprofit housing organizations, developers, architects, contractors, and financial partners with a successful track record of developing housing to submit proposals. The RFQ lists seven parcels YHA owns as initial sites for the new housing. It suggests there could be additional sites. In partnership with the city, YHA purchased the seven parcels from the city’s Industrial Development Agency with the goal of building affordable homes.

YHA has scheduled a Sept. 30 virtual conference to provide interested parties with more information. The deadline for submitting an RFQ is Oct. 30. “This program is designed to provide economic mobility for current residents of the housing authority and others through the transformative power of homeownership,” said Wilson Kimball, president and CEO of the YHA. “We hope that this unique partnership uniting the Housing Authority, City of Yonkers, and an innovative private developer will establish a genuine pathway to prosperity. We are looking for development teams that are willing to think outside of the box and come up with creative solutions.’’ According to Yonkers Mayor Mike

“This program creates the open doors and solid foundations that hardworking families deserve, ensuring that our residents have an equitable stake in the future of our city.”

— Lakisha Collins Bellamy, counsel, Yonkers Housing Authority

Spano, “The City of Yonkers has been exceptionally successful at attracting market-rate housing development, and we are equally committed to providing housing at all levels including to those with modest incomes. This collaboration reinforces our commitment to ensuring that Yonkers remains a vibrant, inclusive city where everyone has a fair chance to put down roots.” The homeownership program is being led by Lakisha Collins Bellamy, counsel to the YHA, who said, “As a former housing authority resident, I am keenly aware of the critical importance of providing opportunities for upward mobility to those who have been overlooked. This program creates the open doors and solid foundations that hardworking families deserve, ensuring that our residents have an equitable stake in the future of our city.” In announcing release of the RFQ, YHA pointed to statistics from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University showing

Westfair Business Journal | September 21, 2026

that homeownership rates for white non-Hispanic households are about 71.7% compared with 47% for ethnic minorities. The seven parcels identified in the RFQ as being possible sites for the new housing are at 115 and 117 Herriott St., 95 Ash St., 56 Ridgeview Ave., and 79, 81 and 83 Byron Ave. “The Authority recognizes that successful affordable homeownership development requires coordinated expertise across multiple disciplines,” YHA said in the RFQ. “Accordingly, respondents are encouraged to assemble teams that may include, as appropriate, a nonprofit housing developer or community-based organization, for-profit developer, architect, engineer, general contractor or construction manager, affordable housing and public-finance specialists, housing counselor, mortgage/underwriting partners, real estate marketing and sales professionals, attorneys, and other consultants necessary to complete the work.”

Salon franchisee wants to open in Darien By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com Central Business District. It is on about a 1.17-acre parcel on the southeast corner formed by the intersection of Boston Post Road and Sedgwick Avenue. The first floor of the building currently has a burger restaurant and a personal service business. Moshup1 LLC is asking for a Special Permit to allow the operation of a 34 salon suite studios on the second floor of the building. According to Rucci Law Group that is representing the applicant, the majority of clients at the salon suites would be coming in during regular business hours and on Saturdays. The individual professionals operating in the suites would be able to set their own hours and could offer services later in the evening if desired. Rucci pointed out that the existing building has 98 striped parking spaces and there is off-site parking available in the adjacent Mechanics Street parking lot as well as on-street parking

on Mechanic Street and the Boston Post Road. “Due to the different hours of peak use for the building tenants as well as the available off site parking we believe that there is sufficient parking available,” Rucci told Darien’s Planning Commission. Mikael Levey of JEM Holdings, owner and manager of 800 Boston Post Road, said that they reviewed Image Studios’ anticipated hours of operation and the nature of their business and determined that their periods of peak parking demand complement those of the building’s existing tenants. It said that it currently uses a dedicated parking lot attendant to verify that parking spaces are used exclusively by building tenants and their authorized guests and that it is prepared to activate valet parking should that become necessary. Image Studios currently has about 125 locations in 32 states. The Darien site would be its first in Connecticut.

The holder of an Image Studios franchise is seeking approvals to make necessary renovations and open in space at 800 Boston Post Road in Darien. Under the Image Studios business model a franchise holder sets up a facility that has a number of individual beauty salon spaces that are then rented out to individual operators. Professionals such as hair stylists, barbers, and massage therapists rent the private suites to run their own independent businesses. Franchisees do not manage staff or perform beauty services; instead, they focus on facility management, tenant recruitment, and collecting recurring monthly rent, according to Image Studios. Moshup1 LLC d/b/a Image Studios Darien has applied to the Town of Darien for approval to set up in approximately 6,564 square feet on the second floor of 800 Boston Post Road. The three-story office building is in the

CT officials criticize Trump’s repeal of pollution standards By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, Attorney General William Tong, and the state’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Acting Commissioner Emma Cimino are criticizing the Trump administration’s announcement that it has finalized its repeal of carbon pollution standards for power plants. The action eliminates federal greenhouse gas standards for existing coal power plants and new gas generation plants. The U.S. Climate Alliance, to which Connecticut belongs, submitted comments in strong opposition and the three officials have added their voices on top of what has already been said.

The Trump administration’s action, they said, will leave hundreds of millions of Americans exposed to carbon emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants, leading to higher costs, dirtier air, and worse health outcomes. Lamont said, “This announcement by Trump’s EPA ignores settled science and will prolong our reliance on dirtier, more expensive sources of electricity while harming the environment and increasing risks to public health. Here in Connecticut, we will continue to fight these backwards policies to lower costs and protect the health of Connecticut residents.” According to Tong, “Trump is

sacrificing the air we breathe for short-term profits for the world’s biggest polluters. No one believes for a second that these massive corporations are going to pass a single cent of savings onto American consumers. And here in Connecticut, the influx of smog from cross-state polluters will be worse than ever. We’ve fought every one of these reckless rollbacks, and we’re ready to sue again now to protect our health and safety.” Acting Commissioner Cimino added, “Another week, and another pollution rollback by the Trump Administration making Americans less safe, less healthy, and costing us more money, all in the service of the fossil fuel industry. Power plants are the largest industrial source of greenhouse gas emissions in the United

Westfair Business Journal | September 21, 2026

“This action costs Connecticut residents.” — Katie Dykes Cimino, acting commissioner, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection

States, accounting for a quarter of the nation’s climate pollution. Connecticut already suffers from some of the worst air quality in the United States, and we’re paying for it in the form of millions spent on healthcare costs, and storm-related infrastructure and property damage. This action costs Connecticut residents.” The standards, which were put into place by the Biden administration in 2024 , were projected to have been able to prevent 1,200 premature deaths, 1,900 asthma cases, 48,000 school absence days, and 57,000 lost workdays by 2035. Air quality in Connecticut exceeded the federal health-based standards for ozone (smog) on 23 days in 2024, 22 days in 2025, and 17 days so far in 2026.

As a member of Gen Z, the only generation in today’s workforce that did not experience a pre-pandemic workplace as working adults, I founded The NextGen Playbook to help organizations navigate a rapidly changing world of work. Through keynotes and consulting, I help companies attract, engage, and retain emerging talent while creating opportunities for employees across generations to learn from one another. My work focuses on strengthening communication, preserving institutional knowledge, and improving retention and performance. I believe organizations are strongest when experience and fresh perspectives come together, helping people make better decisions, accelerate learning, and drive stronger business results.

I am the Director of Residential Services at Hope's Door. My journey with the organization began over a decade ago when I joined as a college intern. During those early years, I discovered my passion for supporting survivors of domestic violence. Drawing from my own lived experiences, I felt called to this work and have since grown within the agency, serving in a variety of roles that have shaped me into the trauma-informed leader and dedicated advocate that I am today. Through my leadership, I strive to support and empower individuals on their path toward healing, self-sufficiency, and independence.

TIM MCCORRY

Chief Revenue Officer Westchester Soccer Club

Partner Zarin & Steinmetz LLP

Sales Executive IMA Financial Group

Managing Director of Operations Iron Oak Discovery

As Chief Revenue Officer of Westchester Soccer Club, I am responsible for the commercial growth of Westchester’s only professional soccer team. After joining the team in January of 2025, I directly oversaw the launch and execution of our partner relations as well as our industry leading internship program which provides mentorship and career guidance to college students nationwide who call Westchester home. Going forward, I hope to continue to bring Westchester businesses, families, and individuals together around the beautiful game and continue to be a local trailblazer in the sports industry.

I am a litigation partner at Zarin & Steinmetz. Z&S’s focus is on real estate, so a big part of my caseload involves disputes on land-use entitlements, transactions, zoning/regulatory issues, eminent domain, environmental law, or property-rights issues. I also handle general commercial and business-related lawsuits, and many of our firm’s trials and appeals. And I take a leading role in Z&S’s recruiting and marketing efforts, and training and mentoring our junior litigation associates. And since our practice is so local, I make a point to get and stay involved here in the community where I live and work.

I am a Sales Executive at IMA, specializing in property and casualty insurance for owners and operators. I help bring transparency and control to the insurance buying process through our structured risk assessment approach. With a background in Actuarial Science, I take a data driven approach to better tell our clients’ story to the insurance marketplace so they can make confident, informed decisions aligned with their business goals. Outside of work, my wife Solange, who is from New Rochelle, and I are raising our one-year-old daughter in Tuckahoe.

Born and raised in Westchester, I am deeply honored to receive this recognition from the Business Council of Westchester. My career in the legal technology industry, now serving as Managing Director of Operations at Iron Oak, has given me the opportunity to grow alongside the rapid evolution of the digital age. Through my work, I have had the privilege of helping law firms, corporations, courts, and legal professionals navigate complex data challenges while protecting sensitive information in an increasingly digital world. Growing up in a large Irish family, I learned early that hard work, integrity, and perseverance are the foundation of success. Most importantly, I want to recognize my incredible wife, Aleigh, and our two sons, Aiden and Parker, whose love and support inspire me every day.

I proudly serve as Vice President of E.J. York, Inc. a family-owned General Contracting firm serving New York City and Westchester County. Since joining the firm during the pandemic, I have advanced from an administrative role to the executive team, gaining hands-on experience across operations, finance, human resources, compliance, and business development.

York, I am actively involved in industry and community organizations, helping develop future leaders in construction and our community.

I am a better husband, father, son, and friend because of this endeavor, and now I owe it this tremendous honor.

Senior Vice President and Chief Pharmacy Officer Westchester Medical Center Health Network

Lead Advanced Practice Provider, WPH Cares White Plains Hospital

Over the past 15 years, I have grown both professionally and personally alongside New York Hospitality Group. Evolving from an early team member into a key leader in the growth of our four companies, helping to position us as the go-to partner for corporate, social, and large-scale events. My role has expanded allowing me to wear multiple hats—from overseeing marketing and content creation to technology and brand development. I recently spearheaded the brand evolution of Caperberry Events, by leading the development of a new logo and website strategy to better reflect our elevated, design-forward approach to support continued growth.

I’ve dedicated the past 18 years, more than half my life, to nonprofit leadership focused on helping organizations maximize their mission through innovation, data informed decision making, hard work, and strong community relationships. As Executive Director of the Westchester Children’s Museum, I am passionate about building a best in class institution with dynamic exhibits and engaging educational experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, genuine human connection, and accessibility for all children and families. I believe strong organizations are built by empowering talented teams, fostering meaningful partnerships, and creating sustainable growth that strengthens both the institution and the community it serves.

I serve as Senior Vice President & Chief Pharmacy Officer at Westchester Medical Center Health Network, where I lead enterprise strategy, specialty services, and clinical innovation across a multihospital academic health system. My focus is on improving patient access, advancing high-value care, and building scalable, integrated pharmacy models that enhance outcomes while supporting sustainable financial performance. I am passionate about developing highperforming teams and partnering across disciplines to solve complex healthcare challenges. My work centers on translating strategy into execution—aligning clinical care, operations, and finance to build sustainable solutions that strengthen our health system and improve outcomes for the communities we serve.

As Lead Physician Assistant in White Plains Hospital’s WPH Cares department, I am passionate about improving the lives of our patients throughout Westchester County and its surrounding communities. Because of my background in clinical emergency medicine, quality improvement, education, and simulation-based training, I have been able to develop innovative and scalable healthcare programs that improve outcomes for our patients and expand access to care. It is so rewarding to help patients successfully transition from the Hospital back to their homes and communities, ensuring they have the support and care they need after discharge. Outside of work, I am most proud of the life I share with my husband and our two young children, who inspire my commitment to creating a healthier community for us all.

This work may not always make headlines but is vital to the health and welfare of our communities.

COURT CASES Bridgeport Superior Court Olsen, Christian, et al, Patterson, New York. Filed by James Severine Greenwich. Plaintiff’s attorney: The Flood Law Firm LLC, Middletown. Action: the plaintiff was allegedly struck by the defendant causing him to suffer injuries and losses. The defendant was allegedly intoxicated at the time he physically struck the plaintiff. The plaintiff seeks more than $15,000 in monetary damages exclusive of interest and costs and such other further relief the court deems appropriate. Case no. FBT-CV26-6162718-S. Filed July 20. St. Vincent’s Medical Center, et al, Bridgeport. Filed by Diane Passaro, Trumbull. Plaintiff’s attorney: Coyne Von Kuhn & Brady LLC, Shelton. Action: the plaintiff was admitted to St. Vincent’s Medical Center in March 2025 for intractable back pain and underwent back surgery. Despite being identified as a high-fall risk, St. Vincent’s, through its nursing staff, allegedly failed to properly assess, supervise, assist and monitor her, including neglecting medication side effects and fall-prevention education. The plaintiff experienced two falls during her stay, resulting in injuries to her right abdominal wall and ankle. Additionally, the call bell in her room was broken on the day of her second fall and was not repaired. These failures are allegedly due to negligence by defendants’ staff, leading to plaintiff’s injuries and damages. The plaintiff seeks more than $15,000 in monetary damages exclusive of interest and costs and such other further relief the court deems appropriate. Case no. FBT-CV26-6162462-S. Filed July 13.

Washburn-Gonzalez, Jessica, et al, Westport. Filed by Darren King Austin, Texas. Plaintiff’s attorney: The Bartinik Law Firm LLC, Pawcatuck. Action: the plaintiff, the son and estate beneficiary of the late Pamela Davidson, alleged that defendant, who served as conservator and later administrator of Davidson’s estate, breached her fiduciary duties by improperly handling funds with Transfer on Death (TOD) designations. The defendant, after Davidson’s death in September 2021, transferred TOD-designated monies directly into the estate account instead of passing them to the rightful beneficiary, King, as required by law. Despite the clear TOD designations bypassing the estate, defendant treated those funds as estate assets, charged significant fees and mismanaged the funds, which as of November 2025 were mostly depleted except for a small reserve. King claims this conduct violated multiple fiduciary obligations, including ignoring TOD designations and misrepresenting facts to the probate court. The plaintiff seeks more than $15,000 in monetary damages exclusive of interest and costs and such other further relief the court deems appropriate. Case no. FBT-CV-26-6162835-S. Filed July 22. Wilcox, Brian Michael, et al, Bolton. Filed by Denisha M.K. Russell, Bridgeport. Plaintiff’s attorney: Miller Rosnick D’Amico August & Butler PC, Bridgeport.

Danbury Superior Court Ferguson, Daniel, et al, New Milford. Filed by Glen Moss, Brookfield. Plaintiff’s attorney: Lax Neville & Intelisano LLP, New York. Action: the plaintiff brings this action as a result of the alleged callous, reckless, irresponsible and fraudulent conduct of defendant, whose selfishness and disregard for his business partners and well-established principles of law have harmed and is hurting plaintiffs, exposing Hudson Machine Works Inc. to substantial liabilities and threatening its very existence. The plaintiff seeks more than $15,000 in monetary damages exclusive of interest and costs and such other further relief the court deems appropriate. Case no. DBD-CV-266060440-S. Filed Aug. 5. Friedly, Dale, et al, New Milford. Filed by John MacDonald, Bethel. Plaintiff’s attorney: Christopher Gerard Winans, Danbury. Action: the plaintiff entered into a contract to buy real estate from defendants. After paying deposits, the plaintiff discovered that significant parts of the property, including stone fences and an outbuilding, were below a 440-foot elevation line owned by utility company FirstLight, requiring permits for such structures. The defendants never disclosed that they lacked these necessary permits before or after the contract signing. Despite being informed by the MacDonalds’ counsel that the buyers would not have proceeded without this knowledge, the defendants failed to produce any permit documentation, claiming no obligation to do so. This failure to disclose and provide the permits is alleged to be a breach of contract by the defendants. The plaintiff seeks more than $15,000 in monetary damages exclusive of interest and costs and such other further relief the court deems appropriate. Case no. DBD-CV-266060002-S. Filed June 29.
