While insurance companies cover direct physical damage, they're not obliged to pay for loss of use. With rental car companies claiming "loss of business income" when customers are involved in an accident, and insurance companies refusing coverage, the decision isn't so cut-and-dried anymore.

Break the Silence
It was an incredible day for the Inaugural Warwick Music Festival, "Break the Silence." From mother nature's disposition to the generosity of so many others, the event was an enormous success. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the
Warwick Valley Bed and Breakfast, "Break the Silence" was presented at
Chateau Hathorn on Sunday, June 30 to benefit
Safe Homes of Orange County, an incredible non-profit dedicated to helping victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. SDI was honored to sponsor such an amazing event!
Black Dirt Feast
On August 8, the Pine Island Chamber of Commerce hosted the Black Dirt Feast at Scheuermann Farms & Greenhouses in Warwick.
Each year, the
Chamber
celebrates the collaboration of local farmers and restaurateurs with its popular event. The farm-to-table al fresco affair sure highlighted the true bounty and beauty of the region.
SDI was proud to be a sponsor and support the development and growth of local small business.
Warwick Captured in Time
The townsfolk in this "practice run" picture from The
Warwick Valley Dispatch lived in Warwick in 1967 when the village buried a time capsule to be opened later this
year.

 Preferred Carrier of the Month
Seely & Durland is proud to partner with Vermont Mutual Insurance Group.
Chartered in 1928 and based out of Vermont (of course!), they selectively write with 800 independent agents across seven states,
specializing in builder's risk, homes, bed & breakfasts, and other small businesses. They have been
rated "A+ Superior" by A. M. Best and named a Ward's Top 50 performing property and casualty insurance carrier for the past eight consecutive years.
Once affectionately known as "The Old Vermont," Vermont Mutual is among the oldest insurance companies in the U.S. Its beginnings can be traced all the way back to 1827 when it first received its Legislative Charter. It was a little more than two months later that the Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company officially opened its doors to the public.
