County launches program to aid people in eviction and other disputes with landlords

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins announces launch of the Office of
— Ken Jenkins, Westchester County Executive

Westchester County has launched the County Office of Housing Counsel (OHC) that is designed to provide financially eligible tenants with access to resources and legal representation at no cost when they're facing eviction and other issues with landlords. County Executive Ken Jenkins announced the new program on July 24.

In addition to providing free legal services to people who cannot afford to hire their own lawyers, the OHC will coordinate access to pre-eviction support and counseling programs under one roof. Residents who are facing eviction, having trouble paying their rent, in a rent dispute with a landlord, facing a loss of essential services like heat and hot water, or are facing other problems, can reach out to the OHC to be connected to legal representation, counseling, financial assistance

and other programs.

The OHC does not directly provide representation. It functions as a clearinghouse to connect residents with one of the following contracted legal service providers: Legal Services of the Hudson Valley; Human Development Services of Westchester; Hudson Valley Justice Center; and the Law Office of Tracy Forrest, Esq.

To fulfill the advocacy, counseling and financial assistance portion of the office’s mission, OHC has contracted with providers: Community Housing Innovations; Community Resource Center; CLUSTER; Westchester Residential Opportunities; Mount Vernon United Tenants; and Human Development Services of Westchester.

Residents seeking help can call 2-1-1, where specialists at United Way 211 Helpline of the Hudson

Valley will be available 24-hours a day, 365-days a year, to assess callers' needs and connect them with appropriate providers. Alternatively, residents can go online to the web address housingcounsel.westchestergov.com and fill out a form that OHC staff will review.

Under Westchester's Housing Counsel Law, tenants are entitled to free legal representation in eviction and related proceedings if their gross household income is 300% of the federal poverty level for a household of their size, or 60% of the county's average median income for a household of their size. That means a family of three with a gross annual household income of $91,800 or $1,765 a week would be eligible for legal representation.

“When the Westchester County Board of Legislators and the administration created the OHC, it was a promise to address housing insecurity head on, and it is a promise kept," Jenkins said. "The Office is a place where every tenant, regardless of financial means, can seek preventive services before a situation escalates to the point of an eviction proceeding. Our goal is to stabilize families and communities by keeping people in their homes and out of the shelter system.”

OHC Director George Asante explained, “The OHC was created to fill a crucial need. The vast majority of tenants facing eviction go into court with no legal representation despite the outcomes being far better when tenants appear with an attorney. We want to make sure tenants’ rights are protected. But most of all we want to keep families in their homes."

According to Hudson Valley Justice Center Executive Director Jason Mays, “By expanding access to counsel in eviction proceedings, Westchester County’s Office of Housing Counsel will allow tenants to access their protections and defenses under the law, ensuring that the law operates in the courtroom as the legislature intended."

County wins second arbitration ruling in legal dispute with Standard Amusements over Playland

The three-person arbitration panel hearing the dispute between Westchester County and Standard Amusements over Standard's termination of its contract to manage the amusement park on July 25 awarded a second victory to the county.

The arbitrators denied in full Standard’s motion for reconsideration of the arbitrators' previous decision that Standard's notice that it was terminating the management contract was not valid.

The arbitration panel is comprised of former judges Jonathan Lippman, Shira A. Scheindlin, and Anthony J. Carpinello. They concluded that Westchester County acted within its

rights under the Playland Management Agreement and that Standard’s attempt to terminate the agreement was invalid and void. At the heart of the decision was the county’s legal right to cure any alleged failure to complete 70% of capital projects by a specified date — an essential protection that Standard ignored in its termination notice.

In a previous June 26 decision, the arbitration panel sided with the county on cross motions for summary judgment, affirming that the Management Agreement provided the county the right to cure any alleged defaults and that Standard’s January 21, 2025, termination notice was legally deficient. Stan -

dard filed a motion for reconsideration.

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, “Playland is the people’s park – now and always. This ruling reaffirms what we have said all along: Westchester County has honored its commitments and acted in good faith to revitalize and protect Playland for future generations. The panel’s decision not only upholds the integrity of our agreement—it sends a strong message that Westchester will not be bullied. We remain committed to the continued enhancement of Playland which is a crown jewel of Westchester.”

ments different from those originally presented and seeks successive opportunities to reargue issues.

In its decision, the panel said, in part that Standard’s instant motion improperly attempts to present argu-

Jenkins added, “Today’s decision is more than just a legal win — it’s a victory for good government, accountability, and the residents of Westchester County – especially the children for whom this park is for. We are grateful to the panel for its thorough and impartial review, and we are ready to move forward.”

P.T. Barnum’s resilience ‘resurrected’ in his Bridgeport museum

BRIDGEPORT – Over the past 15 years the Barnum Museum has been tested as its executive director and staff try to finally complete a multi-million-dollar monumental transformation worthy of the national recognition it has already received. Now the former Barnum Institute of Science and History can add the story of its own resilience to its legacy as a place that houses the miraculous and bizarre.

Kathleen Maher, who has been executive director of the museum since 2005, has been a witness to the Barnum’s own bizarre recent history that started with a EF1 tornado in 2010. She shared stories with the Fairfield County Business Journal that reflect the resilience Phineas Tyler (P.T.) Barnum cited in one of his books called “The Art of Money Getting: Golden Rules for Making Money.”

“Ambition, energy, industry, perseverance, are indispensable requisites for success in business. Fortune always favors the brave, and never helps a man who does not help himself,” the Connecticut-born circus showman (Barnum & Bailey), businessman, politician and museum curator wrote. It’s almost as if Maher was summoning Barnum himself in the longtime renovation and rebuild of the historic Barnum Institute as she has had to face a litany of natural disasters.

“On 2:15 on June 24, 2010 my entire life changed,” Maher said in describing the tornado that touched down in downtown Bridgeport. “I was around the block on McLevy Green setting up (for an event).

“And with that, Chris, the director, tried to open the door. It wouldn’t open. I learned later that was the ‘blunder effect.’ All the trees in McLevy Green had fallen. I rushed back to the museum. All the glass was out.”

She described the extent of the damage from the fateful day.

“When the tornado hit in 2010, there were about 20,000 artifacts that were in harm’s way,” she said. “Glass blew out on the first floor. All of what you could see became garbage. That got sucked out into the HVAC system.”

Then in August 2011, Hurricane Irene hit followed by Superstorm San-

dy in the fall of 2012.

“The water came up into the building,” Maher said in describing both storms.

“We were already two years into disaster management, so all the artifacts that were already cleaned had to be cleaned again. It was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’”

Through its numerous disasters, the museum got a lot of help from its friends –namely other Connecticut museums such as the Mark Twain House and the nearby Fairfield Museum. They had staff members who helped micro-vacuum the many damaged artifacts.

THE EAGLE HAD LANDED

But Mother Nature wasn’t done with the Barnum Museum and Maher just yet. In 2019, its golden proud eagle statue that adorns the top of the turret-covered dome went missing after a sudden gust of wind.

“The Eagle withstood everything – the tornado, hurricane and Sandy,” Maher said. “Then in March 2019 there was some anomalous wind gust and it tipped the eagle. So, we called the fire department. They said be there first thing in the morning on Monday and we’ll figure it out. I get here at 6:30 in the morning and it’s gone. No eagle.

“We did an all-points bulletin to find the eagle. Turns out, we’re all over the news and a friend of ours tells me I was at Ralph and Rich’s (restaurant) across the street and I saw these big guys – I think they were cops – loading up the eagle and it was on the ground.”

She wound up calling the police department and they brought it back right away in the police car. It went to a restoration in Berlin, Connecticut, and now it looks beautiful.”

HISTORIC RECOGNITION

Right before the tornado hit in 2010, the Barnum Museum was elevated to Nationally Significant status by the Department of the Interior and National Park Services. It had been previously put on the National Register in the 1970s.

“The final step is National Historic Landmark,” Maher explained. “When the tornado hit, the National Park Services called to say you don’t have the structural integrity to be a National Historic Landmark. They said they

“The Barnum Museum finally became a National Historic Landmark after 19 years.”

had to take us off that list.”

So, after the Barnum Museum team did enough stabilization work in the building, the National Parks called saying they had just talked to the Connecticut State Preservation Office and it was a “go” for the landmark status. However, the museum had to wait until two years after President Joe Biden took office in 2023 for the status to become official as then-President Donald Trump disbanded the entire program during his term from 2017-2021.

“The Barnum museum finally became a National Historic Landmark after 19 years,” Maher said.

The 132-year-old edifice opened as the Barnum Institute of Science and History in 1893 as the final masterpiece of Connecticut’s own showman, businessman, politician, and museum curator.

Originally envisioned by Barnum –a native of Bethel, Fairfield, and most importantly Bridgeport – the Institute was designed to be a grand showcase of the state’s cultural achievements and technological marvels. From General Tom Thumb’s carriage to a skeleton of a centaur of TYMFI to a massive reproduction of the Ringling Bros. circus to many of Barnum’s books, it boasts more than 60,000 artifacts related to Barnum, Bridgeport, and 19th century America.

RENOVATION WORK

Kronenberger & Sons Restoration of Middletown is in charge of the building’s restoration. They have been working with other contractors to replace the roof, restore the dome, the damaged East Wall and replace the damaged interior walls and elevator. Working alongside them is the award-winning design firm BRC Imagination Arts, which is creating

new and vibrant exhibits that offer learning through exploration, imagination and innovation, stimulating the power of creativity and sparking intellectual curiosity.

According to the museum website, BRC was selected to work with the Barnum Museum based on their years of experience as extraordinary storytellers and technical wizards (designing globally acclaimed sites including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library and the Kennedy Space Center.) Barnum’s stories will be presented by seamlessly combining rigorous storytelling with traditional museum design, artifact display, and media, theater, technology and immersive environments.

With an anticipated opening year attendance of up to 244,000 visitors, the new Barnum Museum will be a primary contributor to the regional economy, stimulating economic growth and jobs, according to a campaign flyer prepared for the museum.

So far, the museum has raised more than $14 million for the first two phases of the restoration: historic preservation, East Wall and dome stabilization and exterior rehabilitation. The next two phases will address interior design and interior rehabilitation. The museum's capital campaign goal is $26 million. Additionally, the museum has received a $2 million from the Community Investment Fund (CIF) 2030 – Round Six grant. That will support critical infrastructure, safety, accessibility, and historic preservation improvements for the 1893 landmark. The project includes upgrades to fire suppression systems, climate control, plumbing, lighting, building repairs, and a new ADA-compliant elevator.

“We’re getting the band back together again,” Maher said as she finished a recent tour with the Fairfield County Business Journal as she proclaimed that work on the next phase will start soon. “Our architects, our historic preservation architects, the designers, mechanical engineers we are going to have a meeting next week (mid-July) to say, OK, inside is next.

“So that’s going to be the group saying we got to get started even though we have to match the Community Investment grant from the state. And we are working on that right now. And we have support from the city for capital.”

Possible future buyout offer for Lionsgate Studios reported

A film and TV production company is considering making an offer to buy Lionsgate Studios, which has a sprawling production complex in Yonkers, according to the entertainment industry publication Variety and the Los Angels Times, among others.

The company considering buying Lionsgate is reported to be Legendary Entertainment LLC, which has seen success at the motion picture box office with "A Minecraft Movie" and the "Dune" trilogy.

The reports indicate that Legendary is considering a plan under which it would initially partner with Lionsgate to make a few movies and thus be able to determine how well the companies could work together. That experience would allow Legendary to decide whether to move forward with a purchase offer, according the reports that cite unnamed sources.

Sources who asked to remain anonymous were reported to have said that Legendary first approached Lionsgate about the matter in May.

Legendary's "Dune" movies have grossed more than $1 billion globally at box offices. "A Minecraft Movie" has grossed more than $900 million worldwide. In 2022, funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Private Equity Partners agreed to make a $760 million equity investment in Legendary.

Lionsgate's popular films include “John Wick,” “The Hunger Games” and “Twilight.”

The Lionsgate Studios complex in Yonkers was built by Great Point Studios and real estate developer National Resources, based in Greenwich. It has 11 soundstages along with support and back lot spaces and continues to expand.

Lionsgate reported revenues of $1.1 billion for its fourth quarter of its fiscal year that ended in March. Fourth quarter net income was $23.1 million. Revenues for Fiscal Year 2025 were $3.2 billion with a net loss of $128.5 million.

Pending appeal to cost Cortlandt convict $2.7M

A Cortlandt landscaping executive has appealed recent bribery and wire fraud convictions but first he has to put up nearly $2.7 million.

U.S. District Judge Vincent L. Briccetti approved a deal on July 17 where Glenn Griffin, owner and president of Griffin Landscaping Corp., and federal prosecutors stipulated that Griffin's monetary penalties could be frozen pending appeal of his convictions.

Judge Briccetti ordered Griffin to pay $2,670,200 in restitution, forfeiture and fines when he sentenced Griffin to prison.

From 2018 to early 2020, Griffin paid cash bribes to Town of Cortlandt official Robert Dyckman to dump illegal materials at a town facility on Arlo Lane. Dyckman made sure no one else was around when large trucks emptied concrete, cement with rebar, tiles, bricks, rocks and soil at the site. Then the town paid Griffin to haul away the very materials his trucks had dumped on town property.

Griffin also rigged bids for $133,000 in contracts with Croton-on-Hudson and Verplank. He submitted high bids for businesses he had no connection to, so that the bids for his own business would be competitive.

Last year, Griffin pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit bribery and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

On June 11, judge Briccetti sentenced Griffin, 56, to two years in prison and three year of supervision after his release from prison. He ordered Griffin to pay $52,000 in fines; forfeit $220,000; and pay $2.4 million in restitution. Half of the restitution goes to the Town of Cortlandt and half to the Westchester Land Trust, the owner of damaged wetlands next to the dump site.

Griffin appealed his conviction on June 18.

Prosecutors Melissa A. Childs, David R. Felton and James F. McMahon demanded that Griffin either post an appeal bond or deposit funds to cover monetary penalties.

Griffin agreed on July 10 to pay $2.45 million to the Clerk of Court to cover the restitution and fines, and to forfeit $220,000 to the United States Marshal's Service.

The Clerk of Court will put the money in an interest-bearing account, and the Marshall's Service will put its share in a Seized Asset Deposit Fund, while the case is appealed.

Upon proof of payment, the government will not enforce the monetary penalties until the conclusion of the appeal.

Griffin also asked the court to postpone his Sept. 11 surrender date to the federal Bureau of Prisons, pending appeal. Judge Briccetti agreed on July 22 to consider the request.

Griffin's co-defendant, Robert Dyckman, was convicted of conspiracy to commit fraud. On May 20, Judge Briccetti ordered him to pay $2.4 million in restitution and sentenced him to one year and a day in prison. He is imprisoned in Waymart, Pennsylvania.

AG Tong Seeks $2.5 M from Fairfield, Oakdale businessmen in cannabis fraud

HARTFORD – Attorney General William Tong has sued a Fairfield business owner and an Oakdale affiliate for $2.5 million for their part in an alleged fraudulent cannabis license-for-sale scheme involving forged documents and tens of thousands of dollars in payments from upwards of 70 businesses

State Attorney General William Tong announced Monday, July 28, that the state has filed for a $2.5 million prejudgment remedy, seeking to freeze the assets of Michael Tedesco of Fairfield, his company MAKECTBETTER LLC and Zafir Iqbal of Oakdale to prevent them from offloading or shifting resources to evade accountability.

The complaint, filed in Hartford Superior Court, alleges that the defendants misrepresented to Connecticut

retailers that they were part of a fictional state “pilot program” that authorized them to sell exclusive cannabis licenses and cannabis supply. No such program exists. Instead, the defendants forged documents purporting to be issued by the Department of Consumer Protection and signed by an official in the Office of the Attorney General.

Iqbal has claimed to have entered into such agreements with approximately 35 businesses, charging $25,000 to $30,000 each. Tedesco has boasted that as many as 70 businesses have entered into such agreements.

“This was a brazen scam to extract tens of thousands of dollars from Connecticut retailers based on false promises and forged documents. But let’s be clear—no one can pretend to be an agent of the Office of the Attorney General and get away

“No one can pretend to be an agent of the Attorney General and get away with it.”

with it. We’re suing and moving to freeze $2.5 million in assets based on the unassailable evidence in our case, and the extreme lawlessness of their misconduct,” Tong said.

The complaint details schemes in New Milford, New Haven, and Manchester.

While MAKECTBETTER does not have a functional website, it has parked the domain makectbetter.com with GoDaddy and Tedesco’s email address is listed as youcan@makectbetter.com.

In January 2024 Iqbal introduced Tedesco to the owner of Grab ‘N Go Mart in New Haven and New Milly Smoke Shop in New Milford, according to the complaint. Tedesco allegedly told the owner that he knew people in high positions in state government and was authorized to sell cannabis establishment licenses. In exchange for $50,000, Tedesco provided the owner with forged documents on DCP letterhead, purportedly from an Associate Attorney General, falsely indicating both shops were approved to distribute “legal cannabis.”

Tedesco and Iqbal perpetrated another scam in Manchester in June 2024, representing to the owner of Happy Puff smoke shop he was an agent of a licensed cannabis distributor and could use his relationships with key state personnel to provide Happy Puff a cannabis license in exchange for $30,500.

— William Tong, Connecticut Attorney General

The payment purportedly included a $10,000 payment to the state, a $10,000 payment to Tedesco, a $5,000 payment to Iqbal, a $5,000 payment for marijuana products, and $500 for a scanner. Iqbal provided Happy Puff with a forged cannabis license and forged cannabis ID card. The complaint alleges numerous violations of the Connecticut Unfair Trade Practices Act.

Cannabis products in Connecticut cannot be sold by unlicensed retailers and must meet rigorous testing and

packaging requirements. The Office of the Attorney General works closely with local law enforcement and state partners, including the Department of Consumer Protection and State Police, to investigate and hold accountable bad actors who sell illegal, unregulated, untested cannabis products. Enforcement actions have resulted in seizure of hundreds of pounds of illegal cannabis products, including potent edibles that look like common snacks and candies.

CANNABIS-RELATED CHARGES

Consumer Protection Commissioner Bryan Cafferelli has suspended the lottery sales agent license for Gulf Convenience LLC located at 111 Gulf St. in Milford for selling illegal cannabis products to minors.

This suspension is the result of a collaborative compliance inspection effort in Milford at various vape shops that also held lottery credentials. The inspections stemmed from many consumer complaints alleging sales of vape and tobacco products to minors. The City of Milford currently does not permit or allow the sale of THC or marijuana substances anywhere within its city limits.

“Promoting and selling illegal cannabis products, especially where people who are underage may buy them, is a gross violation of the trust we put in our license holders,” said DCP Commissioner Bryan T. Cafferelli. “Thank you to the city of Milford, as well as our sister agencies, who we will continue to work together with to prevent the sale of illegal and dangerous products.”

Gulf Convenience LLC may not conduct lottery sales until further written notice. The license was first issued by DCP on Dec. 8, 2023, and has been renewed annually with the current license set to expire on March 31, 2026.

Complaints about illegal cannabis sales can be sent to DCP. cannabis@ct.gov.

DEBUTS A DIABETIC BARBIE

In a continuing effort to ensure its toys speak to a wide audience, Mattel Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT) has debuted the first Barbie with Type 1 diabetes (T1D).

This addition to the Fashionistas line – which features more than 175 looks across various skin tones, eye colors, hair colors and textures, body types, disabilities and fashion styles, including a Blind Barbie, a Barbie with Down Syndrome and a Barbie doll with Hearing Aids — is designed to help more children see themselves reflected in Barbie and encourages doll play that extends beyond a child’s own lived experience, thereby fostering a greater sense of inclusion and empathy – all pillars of the Barbie brand’s mission, company officers said.

“Introducing a Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes marks an important step in our commitment to inclusivity and representation,” said Krista Berger, senior vice president of Barbie and global head of dolls. “Barbie helps shape children’s early perceptions of the world, and by reflecting medical conditions like T1D, we ensure more kids can see themselves in the stories they imagine and the dolls they love.”

The introduction of a Barbie with T1D comes at a moment when the 80-year-old toymaker and its 66-year-old icon are struggling – despite the “Barbie” movie being the highest grossing film of 2023 ($1.4 According to Reuters: “… Mattel posted a bigger-than-expected drop in second-quarter revenue on (July 23) as weak Barbie sales in North America and cautious inventory planning by retailers amid global trade uncertainties weighed on demand.

“The company, however, reinstated its full-year sales and profit forecast after pausing it in May…. Mattel, the owner of brands such as Hot Wheels, Fisher-Price and Uno, now expects a rise in 2025 net sales of 1% to 3%, compared to its February target of a 2% to 3% increase. It forecast adjusted per-share profit between $1.54 and $1.66, below its prior estimate range of $1.66 to $1.72

Mattel's net sales were approximately $5.4 billion, while the Barbie brand generated around $1.35 billion in global gross sales, according

To ensure the doll design truly captures the diabetic community, Barbie partnered with Breakthrough T1D (formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) in Manhattan, the leading global research and advocacy organization committed to accelerating life-changing breakthroughs

to cure, prevent and treat Type 1 diabetes — a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the pancreas to make very little insulin or none at all, leading to dependence on insulin therapy —along with the risk of short- and or longterm complications. (See related story on Page 14.) Mattel worked closely with Breakthrough T1D to reflect accurately the medical equipment those with this condition may use as well as the the doll’s look, right down to the polka-dot pattern of her outfit:

• Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): The doll wears a CGM on her arm to help manage her Type 1 diabetes by measuring her blood-sugar levels. To keep her CGM in place, she uses heartshaped medical tape – Barbie pink, of course – along with a phone that displays a CGM app to help track her blood-sugar levels throughout the day.

• Insulin Pump: Barbie has an insulin pump, also a small, wearable medical device that allows for automated insulin dosing as needed, attached to her waist.

• Blue Polka Dot Outfit: The doll wears a polka-dot top and matching skirt with ruffles. Both the color blue and the circle print are nods to the global symbols that represent diabetes awareness.

• Purse: Barbie comes with a pastel blue purse for her essentials, such as Type 1 diabetes supplies or snacks, when she’s on the go. “We were thrilled when Barbie approached us to collaborate on the development of the Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes,” said Aaron J. Kowalski, Ph.D., CEO of Breakthrough T1D. “I have lived with T1D since I was 13, and my brother since he was 3, so this partnership is deeply personal. It means the world to be part of bringing greater visibility to a condition that affects so many families. It’s an honor to work with a brand that shares our commitment to showing children that a life with Type 1 diabetes can be full, vibrant and empowering.”

of Congress. The youth delegates traveled to the nation’s capital from all 50 states and Breakthrough T1D’s international affiliates in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Israel and Australia.

Barbie also honored two global role models and type 1 diabetes advocates – Peloton instructor Robin Arzón in the United States and model Lila Moss in the United Kingdom – with their own one-of-a-kind Barbie dolls. Arzón unveiled the new Barbie doll with Type 1 diabetes and her one-ofa-kind Barbie doll at Peloton Studios New York on July 8.

“After being diagnosed with tTpe 1 diabetes a decade ago, I've found a lot of purpose in advocating for people with the condition and educating others about it, because knowledge is power – especially for young minds,” Arzón said. “It’s an absolute honor to receive a Barbie doll as a part of the brand’s efforts to grow awareness and representation surrounding Type 1 diabetes, so that we can help show kids that all types of challenges give us all the more reason to push forward and achieve our dreams.”

Added Moss: “I am proud to use my platform to educate around Type 1 diabetes and show that being different is cool. Receiving messages from people who see my patches and feel represented means everything to me. To be able to now see Barbie dolls with T1D, and to receive a Barbie doll that visibly looks like me even wearing her patches, is both surreal and special.”

“By reflecting medical conditions like T1D, we ensure more kids can see themselves in the stories they imagine and the dolls they love.”

In 2020, Barbie kicked off a multiyear study with researchers at Cardiff University on the shortterm and long-term benefits of doll play that supports the importance of variety in role models. It found that doll play serves a purpose during key developmental stages, as it may help set children on a course for success by fostering empathy and developing social skills needed to excel, all while imagining their futures on an equal playing field.

In continued partnership with Breakthrough T1D, Barbie donated dolls to the Breakthrough T1D 2025 Children's Congress. The biennial event, held July 7 through 9, brought 170 children living with Type 1 diabetes, ages 4 through 17, to Washington, D.C. to meet with members

The 2025 Barbie Fashionistas dolls are environmentally friendly, too, committing to a minimum of 50% International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC)-approved bio-circular plastic (Mass Balance Approach), with all boxes made from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified materials. By incorporating ISCC-certified plastic into these dolls, Barbie aims to reduce reliance on fossil-based materials, supporting a more circular economy.

A pediatrician's personal and professional take on Type 1 diabetes

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), an estimated 1.8 million people in the United States have Type 1 diabetes (T1D), with roughly 304,000 of them being children and adolescents under the age of 20. With nine million global sufferers of T1D, that means that the United States has more than 20% of the cases, despite being only 4.2% of the world’s population.

T1D, which differs from Type 2 diabetes (T2D), is an autoimmune condition that causes the pancreas to make little insulin or none at all. This leads to dependence on insulin therapy and the risk of short- and long-term complications, which can include low and high blood sugar; damage to the eyes, heart, nerves and kidneys; and even death. The onset of T1D has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. While its causes are not yet entirely understood, scientists believe that both genetic factors and environmental triggers are involved. There is currently no cure for T1D, which has recently been in the news as Mattel releases its diabetic Barbie doll. (See story on Page 1.) For more on diabetes, we’ve turned to Debra Etelson, M.D., a pediatrician at White Plains Hospital Physician Associates in Somers who has a personal as well as professional interest in the condition:

Dr. Etelson, thank you for your time. As you no doubt know, Mattel has a new Barbie with a continuous glucose monitor. How important is such a cultural symbol in raising awareness of Type 1 diabetes, which is a tough diagnosis, especially for kids?

“Role-playing with dolls is an important part of growing up. Therefore, children should be able to play with dolls who can represent or be reflected by themselves. When a child with T1D sees the iconic Barbie wear the accessories which keep her alive (insulin pump and glucose monitor), this feels comfortable and realistic to them. There is also an educational piece, where a child can explain to a friend how and why these devices are important and how the doll may need to take a specific action depending on

the blood sugar which is displayed on her monitor.”

How does tTpe 1 diabetes differ from Type 2, and how does diabetes in children differ from the disease in adults?

“Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells (beta cells) in the pancreas. Insulin is required for glucose metabolism, which is important for every cell and organ system in the body.

Patients with T1D are therefore completely dependent on getting insulin from an outside source….”

“In Type 2 diabetes, the patient has their own insulin, but it does not work efficiently and therefore leads to high blood sugars, which can cause damage to bodily organs. Type 2 diabetes is often managed by diet, exercise, oral medications and sometimes insulin.

“Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) causes acute symptoms of excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurred vision and may lead to coma if not treated appropriately. Long- term complications can include stroke, blindness, neuropathy and limb amputation.

“Type 1 diabetes usually occurs in childhood, but later onset is becoming more common. In younger children, diabetes presents additional challenges such as limited communication skills and erratic eating patterns. Children may feel isolated due to food restrictions, adjusting meal or snack times due to blood sugar abnormalities. Younger children don't understand why they may need to wait until their blood sugar is in a healthy range before eating certain foods. In addition, the child’s own growth hormone causes insulin resistance, so blood sugars are more difficult to control during growth spurts and also during puberty.”

How is T1D treated?

“T1D is treated with insulin… given by injection or pump, which is attached by a device and changed every few days. The correct amount of insulin is different for each person, may differ by every hour of the day, and a certain amount of insulin must be given before any meal or snack.

“A very important and often dangerous part of T1D is low blood sugar, which can occur when insulin is given by an outside source (rather than

from the body's own pancreas). It is impossible to know exactly how the body will react to insulin, and low blood sugars may result in sweating, dizziness, tremors, seizures and even death. Low blood sugars are treated by fast-acting carbohydrates such as juice, glucose gel or tablets and/or a glucagon pen.”

We've witnessed cases of diabetes in young children in which the parents were more devastated by the diagnosis than the children. How does T1D envelope the family?

“T1D has a profound impact on parents and siblings, often affecting their emotional, physical, social and financial well-being. A person with T1D (or their caregiver) makes about 100 extra decisions a day, including carbohydrate counting, timing and amount of insulin distribution, blood sugar monitoring and considerations for upcoming meals, constant preparation for the need to correct a high blood sugar with insulin or treat a low blood sugar. While these treatments work, it is never perfect or precise, and a child will often feel the effect of both high or low blood sugar (described above). In addition to hypervigilance on a 24/7 basis, family members also fear disease complications and the possibility they may develop diabetes as well.”

Are there mental health challenges associated with a diabetes diagnosis?

“There is a significantly higher occurrence of depression/ anxiety in people with T1D due to the ongoing demands of diabetes care. This includes blood glucose monitoring, insulin management, meal planning, physical activity management and fear of complications. T1D patients also tend to fear social isolation and their financial well-being in the future due to higher costs of medical care.”

What can we do to prevent diabetes, particularly in the young?

“There is no way to prevent T1D. However, there is a newly approved injection (CD3-directed monoclonal antibody) which helps moderate the immune response and slow down the progression of T1D.

“In order to prevent T2D, it's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle with respect to diet and physical activity and follow through with advice from health-care professionals.”

Tell us about your background and experience, which we understand has given you a personal stake in T1D care.

“I have been a general pediatrician for 27 years. After completing my pediatric residency at NewYork-Presbyterian/ Weill Cornell Medical Center, I joined the faculty of New York Medical College (in Valhalla), where I worked with medical students and pediatric residents at (neighboring) Maria Fareri Children's Hospital, in addition to treating my own patients in an affiliated ambulatory pediatric practice.

“Ten years later, I stopped working for several years after the youngest of my three sons was diagnosed with T1D at the age of 13 months. My oldest son (who was 9 years old at the time) was diagnosed with T1D about three years later. There was no family history of T1D, although all three children have celiac disease, which is also an autoimmune disease frequently seen in patients with T1D. They are (respectively) 18 and 24 years old now, and thriving, but T1D presents challenges every day. We have seen firsthand how technology (specifically the continuous glucose monitor) has revolutionized T1D care. The ability to display minute-to-minute blood sugars in a convenient and less invasive way (and shared on a caregiver's smartphone) has enabled quicker and safer ways to treat abnormal blood sugars.

“I returned to ambulato ry pediatric practice once my children's health was stabilized, and I have re mained very involved in the diabetes community. I have enjoyed the opportunity to care for patients and families, from routine growth and development to acute illnesses. I also feel confident in my abil ity to help patients and their families navigate chronic conditions. While I have always been a compassionate physician, I believe my own experience has enabled me to provide a helpful balance of empa thy and structure.”

“When a child with T1D sees the iconic Barbie wear the accessories which keep her alive, this feels comfortable and realistic to them.”

Greenburgh couple says geothermal system doesn't work

HARTFORD – Attorney General William Tong has sued a Fairfield business owner and an Oakdale affiliate for $2.5 million for their part in an alleged fraudulent cannabis license-for-sale scheme involving forged documents and tens of thousands of dollars in payments from upwards of 70 businesses

Katherine and David Stowe accused Dandelion Energy Inc. of negligence, in a complaint filed on July 17 in Westchester Supreme Court. They are demanding $250,000 in monetary damages.

"The design and installation of the system was faulty in numerous ways and has never functioned properly," the complaint states. And the couple has "not been able to enjoy or be comfortable in their home since the Dandelion system was installed."

"While we cannot comment on ongoing legal matters," Dandelion publicist Kathy Berardi stated in an email, "we take these concerns very seriously and we remain focused on resolving this matter constructively and quickly."

The Stowes own a 2,200-square-foot,

4-bedroom, mid-century modern house built in 1959, in the Greenville neighborhood near Scarsdale.

The main floor and basement were heated with hot water baseboards fueled by heating oil. The main floor was cooled by conventional air conditioning.

The Stowes wanted to remove an underground heating oil tank and use an alternative method to correct uneven heating and cooling spots throughout the house.

Dandelion, based in Virginia and operating out of a Mount Kisco office, offers geothermal systems. During the winter, cold water lines are pumped through a loop deep underground where it is warmed up and then recirculated through the house. During hot weather, warm air in the house is pumped into the ground to be cooled and recirculated in the house.

Dandelion boasts on its website that its technology is quiet, "built for extreme weather," and produces "the lowest utility bills you'll ever have."

The Stowes calculated that the system would cost about $80,000. It would save $4,500 to $5,000 a year

in utility costs, thus paying for itself in 16 to 18 years.

Dandelion surveyed the house and determined that it was acceptable for a geothermal system, as long as the Stowes put in additional ductwork.

In 2020, the couple paid a contractor about $16,676 to install the ductwork, and they gave Dandelion the go-ahead. At that point, the complaint states, project costs were estimated at $52,185.

By October 2020, the geothermal system was installed.

Problems allegedly surfaced right away. The system was noisy, and there were hot and cold spots throughout the house. On Nov. 4, 2020, for instance, bedrooms were at 57 degrees in the morning. Winter utility bills were as high as $2,200. During the summer months, the main floor sometimes reached the high 80s.

Dandelion made many service calls, according to the complaint, and made stop-gap fixes. In summer 2022, the company allegedly concluded that the system could not keep up with heating and cooling demands because it was undersized. Dandelion installed new equipment, but problems persisted. This past winter, the Stowes claim, there was no heat in part of the house, and they

had to pay $10,000 for new ductwork and $20,000 to replace a ceiling.

This past March, Dandelion concluded that the root problem was lack of insulation in the vaulted ceiling, according to the complaint. Insulating the roof would cost about $60,000 to $80,000.

Dandelion allegedly said it would not cover the costs because the surveyor had made a reasonable assumption about the state of insulation, the couple had signed the survey, and the design decisions were based on that information.

The Stowes claim that Dandelion has not given them the survey, and they do not recall the information about insulation. But Dandelion employees were aware of the uninsulated roof, "and beyond that, it was visible to the eye that the roof was uninsulated."

The Stowes accused Dandelion of negligence for lacking the competence to fix the geothermal system; fraud for representing that a geothermal system was suitable for their house; and breach of contract for not installing a functional system.

Dandelion's publicist said the company is "dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction and is committed to delivering high-quality work on every project."

In an age of changing climate, northern vineyards have their moment

It seems like everyone in the wine industry is longing for the days of old with little regulation, with minimal thoughts of sustainability. In the United States, global warming is denigrated to the fringe areas and wrested from the hands of the scientists. Throw in tariffs that seem to change daily with the severity or even the target producer or country and longing for an easier time would seem natural.

Frankly, winemakers and grape growers should be on the leading edge of climate change. In most wineries and wine regions, there are specific day-to-day weather reports going back many decades, and it is undeniable. Bud break, flower expansion, veraison (seasonal color change in the grape) and harvest dates have been accelerated and compressed, forcing harvest to pre-optimal conditions far short of the proper hang time and flavor development on the vine.

The wine regions situated in those eco-friendly areas that began supporting proper vine growth and grape development decades ago

are nonetheless having to juggle, blend and invest in higher altitude plots or higher latitude acreage. However, if your vineyard were at the northern edge of grape cultivation back then, global warming has come to the rescue and more northern climes are finally ripening to their happy spot.

I was recently invited to a media wine luncheon at Aqua, a beautiful restaurant serving Italian and Japanese dishes from one kitchen in the Flat Iron district. It curated a wine-pairing of fresh flavors, creatively pulling them from various cuisines to enhance the wines. The host winery was Abbazia di Novacella in northern Italy, quite close to the German and Austrian borders. It is one of the northernmost wineries, not only in the Alto Adige region but in all of Italy. I had never tasted these wines before, and they did not disappoint. All of the grapes for their 900,000-bottle annual production are hand harvested, with subsoils of schist, granite and limestone contributing to stoney, mineral and flinty notes. Abbazia di Novacella began life

as an Augustinian monastery in the year 1142. It still is. The monks plant grapes for local and personal consumption, and they learned a few things over the centuries. In the year 1623, they realized their location would not allow for proper maturation of red grapes. Abazia di Novacella purchased more southerly vineyards to be their epicenter for red wine production. Today, the monastery, the vineyards, the winery and a museum are all available for tours by appointment, and get a healthy share of visitors.

Our first two wines, paired

with a sushi dish of Hamachi, were brilliant. The 2024 Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC Sylvaner showed abundant lemon zest and perfumy aromatics. The Alto Adige Valle Isarco DOC Gruner Veltliner Praepositus from 2023 was structured with citrus that included Valencia orange and was simply lovely. (The Praepositus line uses specific vineyards of particular quality for small scale production of something special.)

Our next pour was the 2023 Alto Adige Isarco DOC Kerner Praepositus. This wine — fresh citrus, balanced and puckery Meyer lemon – should not be overlooked. The 2021 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Pinot Nero (Noir) Praepositus offered up aromatic red fruit and fresh raspberry, with a dry spiciness. For these, the kitchen prepared pan-seared Maine scallops and green peas celeriac – quite perfect side by side.

Our final wine was the Alto Adige Isarco DOC Moscato Rosa from 2022. This was clearly a dessert wine with the jammy pleasantness of Concord grape essence and ripe red roses. The Aqua kitchen paired this wine with Burrata roasted beets, walnuts, honey and thyme.

One final thought here: Italian wine labels can be a bit difficult to understand. These Abbazia di Novacella labels are simple. The vintage year is clear. Alto Adige is the wine region. Isarco is the subregional valley. And the grape variety is on the front label, easy to find.

Abbazio di Novacella 's Sylvaner, Grüner, Veltliner and Kerner vintages are all made from beautiful and nuanced white grapes that, in the right hands, will bring you to some lovely flavors. Look for these and explore.

Legislation considered to help fight Bee-Line fare evasion costing $1M per month

The Westchester County Legislature is reviewing a proposed new local law submitted by County Executive Ken Jenkins. The proposed new law is  designed to help combat the inability to collect an estimated $1 million each month in Bee-Line bus fares due to fare evasion by riders.

"According to a 2025 report by the Westchester County Department of Public Works and Transportation, the Bee-Line has an average daily ridership of 85,000, and serves well over 3,000 bus stops, touching the lives of many of Westchester's residents," Jenkins told the Legislature in a letter discussing his submission of the proposed local law. "For some time now, the Bee-Line has experienced a large number of fare violations (non-payment). This has been caused by both confusions over the free bus program

over the summer, and also malfeasance. Regardless of the cause, fare evasion weakens the financial health of Westchester County and encourages unlawful behavior on the Bee-Line buses." Currently, fare evasion is classified under New York State’s Penal Law Section 165.15 (Theft of Services), as a Class A misdemeanor, a “printable offense” meaning a person would be arrested and finger-printed, which puts people at risk of having a long-lasting criminal record.

The proposed new law is described as allowing the county to take a more thoughtful and compassionate approach to dealing with fare evasion that promotes accountability through a civil penalty without imposing a criminal record.

Jenkins said, “We know that a missed bus fare should never derail a young person’s future. This legislation

Calling something a partnership doesn't make it so

A federal judge has ruled that a Greenwich man who sought $282 million from two former colleagues has failed to prove that they had formed a partnership.

U.S. District Judge Philip M. Halpern dismissed a lawsuit brought by Daniel Lee against Richard Golaszewski of Rye and Stephen Swentzel of Manhattan, July 24 in White Plains federal court.

"The proof adduced makes clear that three at-will employees of 17Capital intended to find employment elsewhere and possibly together," Halpern found, "not that they formed a partnership or joint venture to do business with other entities."

Lee was head of fundraising and in-

vestor relations at 17Capital, a London private equity firm with offices in New York. Golaszewski and Swentzel were managing directors.

Lee decided to leave 17Capital in early 2021 and proposed a partnership with his colleagues. They discussed the idea, for instance, at dinner at The Brook, a private social club in Midtown Manhattan.

A year later, Oaktree Capital acquired 17Capital, and Lee was fired. Golaszewski and Swentzel took positions with Hunter Point Capital.

Lee claims his former colleagues betrayed a partnership deal and took his ideas with them, "to fatten their own pockets." He accused them of breach of partnership and breach of joint venture.

There never was a formal, written

partnership agreement, Halpern found, but a court can conclude that there is a partnership in fact, based on conduct, intention and relationships.

In the absence of a written partnership agreement, Lee had to demonstrate nine factors, such as sharing of profits and losses, joint management and control, joint liability, and contribution of capital. The same goes for demonstrating a joint venture. There must be evidence, for instance, of an agreement to create an enterprise for profit; and each party must contribute property, financing, knowledge or skill.

Halpern concluded that a jury could find that Lee had established an intention to make a deal and a combination of skills and knowledge.

Golaszewski and Swentzel deny that they formed a partnership with Lee, but even if it is assumed that there was an oral agreement, that is

“The proof adduced makes clear that three at-will employees intended to find employment elsewhere, not that they formed a partnership or joint venture.” — U.S. District Judge Philip M. Halpern

is about compassion and coammon sense. Today, too many people — many of whom rely on the Bee-Line to get to school or work — are one mistake away from carrying a criminal record that could follow them for life. By shifting fare evasion to a civil penalty, we’re holding people accountable in a way that is fair and proportionate.”

The new law would impose a civil fine of up to $50 for a first offense of fare non-payment. The second and subsequent offenses would be subject to a $100 fine. The new law would authorize county and local police to issue appearance tickets. Fare evaders would be allowed to either pay the fine or appear in local court.

"Westchester County is taking this course of action because it strongly opposes the criminalization of poverty, and is working hard to reduce youth interactions with the criminal justice system," Jenkins said. "This proposed legislation will encourage fare compliance and enhance overall safety aboard Bee-Line buses."

not enough, Halpern said. Lee had to satisfy several criteria.

There is no evidence that the parties agreed to make any capital contributions, Halpern said. There is no evidence of partnership assets. There is no bank account, office, website, telephone number, email address, stationary, logo, financial records, line of credit, debt, contracts or employees. No tax returns were filed. It was not registered to do business in New York and it was not registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

"In light of this failure of proof," Halpern ruled, "summary judgment dismissing these claims is appropriate."

Lee also accused Golaszewski and Swentzel of breach of fiduciary duty, for allegedly ousting him from a partnership for their personal benefit

But the failure to establish the existence of a joint venture or partnership agreement, Halpern found, "is fatal to establishing the existence of a fiduciary obligation."

Golaszewski and Swentzel were represented by White Plains attorneys Russell Yankwitt, Jason Swergold, and Michael Reed. Lee was represented by Brown Rudnick LLP, of Hartford, Connecticut and Manhattan.

Organizers cancel annual Soundside Music Festival slated for late September

BRIDGEPORT – The annual Soundside Music Festival at Seaside Park scheduled for Sept. 27-28 has been cancelled by organizers “due to circumstances beyond our control.”

C3 Presents and Founders Entertainment in collaboration with Live Nation Connecticut announced the news on Friday, July 25 on the event’s website.

While no specific reason for the cancellation was given, reports suggest that low ticket sales may have been a contributing factor. The festival had announced a lineup that included such acts as The Killers, Hozier, Weezer, and Vampire Weekend. Some fans have also noted concerns about the high price of tickets.

Tickets will be refunded to the original method of payment in as little as 30 days depending on your bank’s processing time, according to the event’s purchase policy listed on its website. If the tickets were transferred, the refund will go to the fan who orig-

inally purchased the tickets from Ticketmaster.

In a June Facebook post on the Soundside Music Festival page, a group member shared information from the Soundside festival organizers regarding ticket transfers and resales. The post read:

“If any member intends to sell their tickets within the group, please message me (GROUP ADMIN) directly beforehand. I will verify the tickets to prevent any issues related to fake or invalid tickets being circulated within our community.

It's crucial to maintain trust and transparency within our group, so any posts advertising tickets for sale without prior verification will be promptly deleted. Furthermore, individuals found violating this policy may face a temporary or permanent ban from the (Facebook) group.”

Prior to the cancellation, organizers had to deal with a possible issue regarding a nearby construction site at the former Bridgeport Harbor PSEG Station. In May Bridgeport Mayor Joe Ganim told the developer of the

“While no reason was given for the cancellation, reports suggest low ticket sales and high ticket prices may have played a role.”

former station at 1 Atlantic St. that the Sept. 29 demolition of the iconic candy stripe smokestack would have to be rescheduled.

The reason for rescheduling was that the implosion of the smokestack to make way for a multi-million dollar mixed-use development was scheduled for the same weekend as the annual Soundside Music Festival at Seaside Park.

The Soundside Music Festival was launched in 2022, originally branded as Sound on Sound. Spearheaded by Howard Saffan, in collaboration with Live Nation Connecticut and Founders Entertainment, the inaugural event featured prominent such acts as Stevie Nicks, the Lumineers, and Dave Matthews alongside Tim Reynolds. The festival aimed to create a vibrant musical atmosphere in Bridgeport, drawing attendees from across the region. In 2023, the festival rebranded to Soundside Music Festival.
