Ex-town doctor sentenced for stealing from elderly woman

This week, Westchester County Executive George Latimer highlighted some recently approved projects that will help ease the commute of some Westchester residents while also touting the county’s new streamlined capital project process at a press conference in Bedford. For more, see page 6.

County, Concordia College host veterans open house Westchester County Executive George Latimer, County Veteran Service Agency Director Ron Tocci, Concordia College Director of Military and Veteran Affairs Viviana DeCohen and the Concordia College Veterans Club are excited to announce an upcoming event geared toward providing area veterans the services they need.

The “Veterans Open House and Resource Fair” will take place on Thursday, April 4 at 6 p.m. in the Schoenfeld Campus Center at Concordia College located at 171

White Plains Road in Bronxville.

The “fair” will feature opportunities for vets to: • meet with prospective employers, including the NYPD; • learn more about educational and health benefits from the VA; and • access Vet2Vet resources, free health screenings and more.

At the event, Veterans Service Agency Director Ron Tocci will announce his office’s intention to begin a “Westchester Vets Office on the Road” program where he and his staff set up shop once

a month at different colleges and universities across Westchester.

“At the Westchester County Veteran Service Agency, we are always ready to assist Westchester’s veterans,” Tocci said.

“Events like today, and our upcoming Vets Office ‘tour’ allow us to go to where these new veterans are, instead of them having to seek us out, so we can better serve them in whatever capacity is needed.”

Concordia College President John A. Nunes added, “We are honored to welcome the veteran

community to our Veterans Open House and Resource Fair. At Concordia College, we’ve made it a priority to serve those who have served our country. We encourage any veteran to learn more about how their educational benefits and grants can help them start or finish their college education and advance their civilian careers.”

Westchester County District Attorney Anthony Scarpino Jr., announced that former physician Peter Corines of Eastchester was sentenced to a year in Westchester County Jail for stealing more than $500,000 from a 97-year-old Yonkers woman through various fraudulent means.

Specifically, Corines, 70, was sentenced one year each on the following charges to run concurrently: • Grand Larceny in the second degree, a class C felony • Attempted Grand Larceny in the second degree, a class D felony • Identity Theft in the first degree, a class D felony Corines agreed to forfeit $11,600 of the victim’s money found in his residence from a search warrant.

Westchester County Court Judge Barry Warhit presided.

From the bench, he told the defendant, a former medical doctor, he “was a disgrace to a noble profession.”

During a two-week period in November 2017, Corines, after ingratiating himself, stole from an elderly woman by obtaining a power of attorney to benefit himself to reduce his mounting personal debt and infuse money into his failing yacht repair business in Florida. He did so by pretending to be her on the phone or online with numerous financial institutions where the victim had accounts.

More specifically, by claiming to be acting in her best interest, Corines went into various banks and withdrew money from her accounts; and by pretending to be her, he called various mutual funds and requested checks from her accounts. Corines also set up online accounts to receive money from various mutual funds owned by the victim, and then Corines requested checks from the mutual funds, without her permission, authority or consent. In total, Corines stole approximately $540,106.60 and attempted to steal $262,171.49.

Corines was arrested by Yonkers police on April 24, 2018, subsequent to the execution of a search warrant at his home in Eastchester. (Submitted)

County outlines plan to fix

Some recently approved projects

problematic roadways Flanked by a local business owner who is often tasked with fixing flat tires caused by pesky potholes along Long Ridge Road in Bedford, Westchester County Executive George Latimer highlighted some recently approved projects that will help ease the commute of some Westchester residents while also touting the county’s new streamlined capital project process.

“My Administration is focused on finding ways to both reduce the county’s existing backlog of capital projects as well as creating a process to eliminate future back-

logs,” Latimer said. “To county residents, this will mean faster repairs to the roads we all travel every day in addition to real savings of tax dollars. As we all know, routine maintenance costs less in the long run over drastic repairs when disaster strikes.”

This new process improves the county’s capital project system in three ways: • First, it allows for design and construction costs to be bonded together which will streamline the timeframe and counter any potential backlog from these two phases having separate bond acts;

• Second, this enhanced timeframe means that the project will be out to bid faster which will allow the projects to be ready for this year’s construction season— which is vastly different from the previous process used by the county; and • Lastly, bidding on design and construction together makes the cost estimate much more realistic, eliminating the need to go back and add additional funds to any miscalculated projects or projects which—due to delay—have gone up in cost.

At the press conference, Latim-

er was joined by Hugh Greechan, commissioner of the Department of Public Works and Transportation, Westchester County Legislator MaryJane Shimsky, Construction Industry Council and Building Contractors Association President Ross Pepe and Pound Ridge Town Supervisor Kevin Hanson.

Greechan said: “One of the most important jobs our department is tasked with is making sure that the roads that the county maintains are kept in the best condition possible for hardworking Westchester taxpayers,” Greechan said. (Submitted)

The unsustainability of the state continues BRONXVILLE TODAY Mayor Mary Marvin

New Yorkers are leaving the state in record numbers which should be a cause of concern to us all. Overall, New York is grappling with a population that is growing more slowly than almost every other state as well as an out migration of more than 1 million people in the past decade, more than any other state.

It is also the wealthiest who are leaving who pay the most taxes, resulting in a profound effect on the state’s finances and added burden on those who remain residents.

The situation is mirrored in other high-taxed states, such as New Jersey, California, Massachusetts and Connecticut. Last year, more residents left New Jersey than any other state.

What all these states have in common is a steeply progressive tax code. In New York, the top 1 percent pay 46 percent of the taxes. Gov. Cuomo recently said, “God forbid if the rich leave.” Yet in the new budget just reached on April 1, a so called “mansion tax” was added on pricey luxury homes.

The current combined New York City and state taxes pre the new mansion tax are now 12.7 percent while Florida has no income or estate tax.

According to a recent National Movers Study conducted by United Van Lines tracking the

state to state migration patterns in 2018, 61.5 percent of New Yorkers moving left the state and 41 percent of those had incomes above $150,000.

Last year, a study by Wallet Hub looked at states ranked by their total tax burden and New York came out on top. In contrast, the five lowest taxed states—Florida, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina and Washington gained the most new residents.

In short, high taxes drive people away and low taxes attract them. The recent changes in the deductibility of federal taxes certainly hasn’t helped New York and those with the most income have the most choice and mobility.

The Wall Street Journal recently did a story of the growing number of wealthy tax refugees from New York, New Jersey and Illinois showing up in Miami to buy condos. Instead of looking at ways to lower taxes, New York has chosen to beef up the auditing capabilities of the state Department of Taxation and Finance. New York conducted 3,000 “non-residency” audits a year between 2010 and 2017, collecting approximately $1 billion.

The ante has been upped between tax collectors and wealthy New Yorkers who are moving to Florida reaching new levels of investigation and going high tech.

Conventional wisdom holds that if you’re out of New York State for 183 days, you don’t have to pay state taxes. But tax advisors say that while the number of days matter, the real test

for auditors is “domicile”—being able to prove that a taxpayer’s permanent, primary home is in Florida rather than New York.

Because defining “domicile” is subjective New York State ends up winning more than half of its tax residency audits, but even at that for many of the wealthy they move from New York to ultimately escape the estate tax which is 16 percent on estates above $5.5 million versus zero in Florida.

Auditors now check that your home in New York is smaller and less expensive than the Florida home even going in the refrigerator to see the amount of food and expiration dates. They also check for the location of prized artwork, wedding albums and family photographs as people keep closest to them what they hold most dear.

In that same vein, the location of the family dog can be determinative. As one famous plaintiff’s attorney said, “If you want to lose a case very quickly, kennel your dog in New York when you travel.” The state also now has the capability to track the location of all calls made and received.

It is a shame that more time, brainpower and expertise is not put into ways to make New York an affordable home for everyone rather than spend inordinate efforts to get one last check out of people before they leave.

New York is in a crisis and this new state budget seems to ignore the true urgency of easing the tax burdens that make living here unsustainable sadly for an increasing number of New Yorkers.

NPC seeks input from Bronxville community The Bronxville Committee for the Non-Partisan Nomination and Election of School Trustees, NPC, is currently undertaking a regular review of its procedures and is seeking input from the community during the month of April.

The NPC carries out such an advisory review at least every four years to review its rules, procedures and overall effectiveness. The objective is to keep the NPC effective and upto-date to ensure fairness and continued relevance. The review process considers suggestions from current and former NPC members, school board trustees

and the community. The Plan for Non-Partisan Nomination and Election of School Trustees, the Rules of Procedure of the Non-Partisan Committee, and past review reports can all be found on the NPC website bronxvillenpc.com. Please email the committee atbxv_npc@yahoo.com before the end of April with any suggestions, recommendations or questions related to the NPC and its processes and procedures that you would like to be considered.

Wondering what the NPC is?

The NPC was formed in 1936 with the mission to identify and assess potential nominees in

our community for the Board of Education of The Bronxville School on a nonpartisan basis and to ultimately nominate a slate of candidates for election to serve the school. The NPC has no affiliation with any political party and the process for identifying, assessing and nominating candidates is driven solely by the shared goal of finding the best trustees in the community for the school board. The NPC consists of 21 residents of Bronxville, comprised of three elected representatives from each of Bronxville’s seven election districts, who each serve for a three-year term. (Submitted)

Latimer announces county’s incubator program Westchester County Executive George Latimer has announced the launch of the Westchester incubator program called Element 46. Designed to inspire and support entrepreneurial talent and the development of new businesses in Westchester, Element 46 will help turn promising ideas into thriving businesses, and promote entrepreneurship and economic development by providing founders with access to programing and resources.

Latimer said: “Westchester has all of the most important ingredients for start-up success— location, infrastructure, transportation, business expertise, investor interest, talent and more,” Latimer said.

“By bringing together the very best entrepreneurial ideas and supporting them with the immense talent and resources of this county, I’m confident that we’ll be able to cultivate high-

growth companies that will drive economic development for Westchester and also serve as a great reminder of the benefits of working, living and playing right in our county.”

A cohort of 15 selected entrepreneurs will be housed in a number of co-working locations in the county and paired with some of the best minds across business, innovation and the investment community. The first cohort of Element 46 will be selected in April and begin in July 2019.

Westchester County Director of Economic Development Bridget Gibbons said: “We are laser focused on attracting startups to Westchester and creating an entrepreneurial ecosystem,” said Bridget Gibbons, county director of Economic Development.

“Through Element 46 we plan to provide early-stage entrepreneurs with the support they need to professionalize and scale their

businesses, and to keep them here in Westchester.”

Incubators are organizations geared toward speeding up the growth and success of startup and early stage companies. They provide access to services such as accountants and lawyers—in addition to invaluable coaching and networking connections through the mentors and other entrepreneurs at the incubator.

They are also often a good path to capital from accelerators, angel investors and venture capitalists.

Element 46 will have a positive impact on economic growth in communities across the county by maximizing the success of emerging, startup companies.

Startups, mentors, service providers and co-working spaces interested in learning more about the Element 46 program, should visit the website at Element46.org.

5 ways summer camp makes a difference In popular culture, summer camp is often portrayed as a place where pranks are played, romances unfold and underdogs triumph. Classic summer camp movies such as the 1979 film “Meatballs” or, more recently, the 2012 movie “Moonrise Kingdom,” are just a couple of examples. Movies aside, summer camp can be a meaningful experience that helps kids learn important life lessons and have fun along the way.

There are countless reasons why American parents spend a collective $3.5 billion on summer camp each year. Not all summer camp experiences will be great.

There may even be some experiences that parents and participants would rather forget. However, as researchers who focus on youth development and outdoor activities—and who are doing a study financed by the American Camp Association, ACA, that looks at the impact of camp—we believe that, on balance, summer camp makes a positive difference in children’s lives.

1. Kids gain independence Traditional overnight camps create a “third space” for kids to

learn valuable life skills in different ways than they do at home or school. Going to camp offers kids needed time away from family and regular friend groups. These experiences give them the space to gain independence.

Qualities to seek in a summer camp include high expectations and opportunities for campers to be responsible and accountable for individual and group tasks.

These opportunities can be as simple as pitching in on kitchen duties or as involved as leading the planning of the campwide talent show. A quality camp experience is one in which kids gain the confidence that they can take care of themselves and also contribute to something bigger.

2. Kids develop essential relationship skills A great camp experience involves making new friends, offering kids opportunities to practice the skills needed to build and maintain relationships. For most campers, this social function of camp is central to their experiences, unlike school where academic outcomes drive most of their daily activities. Adults who went to

camp often report that camp was critical to developing their ability to be open with others and create friendships over a short period.

The social environment at an overnight camp can be intense, as kids can’t escape the daily drama by going home at night. This means that camp counselors encourage kids to deal with conflict rather than avoid it. 3. Kids learn to appreciate differences As adults, building and maintaining relationships requires the ability to understand and appreciate differences among people.

Great camps provide a space where kids can interact with people from different backgrounds and worldviews. At some camps, this might be interacting with kids of different cultural, religious or racial backgrounds. At others, it might mean making friends with campers and counselors from different parts of the world or being with kids from different economic or family conditions.

4. Kids connect with nature Summer camps have connected kids to nature for about as long as kids have been going to camp.

Around the turn of the 20th centu-

ry, many camps focused on being a place for kids from the city to experience the wonders of the natural world. Fortunately, great camps continue to connect kids to nature through nature-based programming and simply being outside.

Time use trends show us that kids (and adults) are spending more time indoors leading to what Richard Louv has called a “nature deficit disorder.” Great

camps can provide a safe space for kids to be outside and explore the natural world. 5. Kids get to be kids In a highly connected and stressful world, there has been an increased interest in being more authentically engaged with others and our world. If you are a parent looking to help your kid put down their phone, reduce their screen time, worry less

about “likes” on social media and just be a kid, then the old idea of camp seems like a custom-built solution.

Great camps allow kids to play in non-virtual worlds and interact with friends face to face rather than through a device. And most importantly, at camp kids get to be kids—and that might be the most compelling reason why camp still matters. (Submitted)

Tech-free camps change kids’ brains for the better When the Keller kids—Nathaniel, 9, Celeste, 13, and Hayden, 16—go away to summer camp in Maine, their mom, Amanda Aronoff, worries about them.

But not enough that she’d want them to break the cellphone ban. Implemented by 90 percent of camps accredited by the American Camp Association, ACA, rules prohibiting tech allow kids to relearn the art of screenless living.

Is technology impacting my child’s social and communications skills?

“They learn independence and have a chance to negotiate social situations on their own,” Aronoff said. “If they could text me every time they were upset, that would obviously change that scenario.”

In fact, without phones, kids’ brains change. In a 2014 study by child development expert Yalda T. Uhls of Common Sense Media, preteens who spent just five days at a sleepaway nature camp without access to screens developed a greater understanding of real-world interpersonal communication cues. The campers were better at reading facial expres-

sions, making eye contact, and interpreting tone of voice and other prompts, such as posture and keeping an appropriate spatial distance with others.

But as kids are used to spending more waking hours with a screen than doing any other activity—about two hours and 15 minutes for kids 8 and younger, six hours for tweens, and nine hours for teens—camp without a smartphone remains a challenge.

So, as we enter the season of camp registration, we thought we’d ask: How’s everyone been faring?

Going tech-free for camp was hard the summer after Isabela Alvarez finally got her own phone— but not as difficult as the following year at Appel Farm Music and Arts Camp in Elmer, New Jersey. She was in middle school, said Alvarez, now 21, a student at the University of Pennsylvania.

“Twitter and Instant Messenger were popular, and that disconnect from the outside world was something I had to get used to.”

Upon reflection, Alvarez thinks going tech-free forced her to make friends. “I’m a shy per-

son, so even today, I feel I have the protection of my cellphone if I don’t want to participate,” she said.

Still, most campers are initially anxious without their devices, said Tom Rosenberg, president and CEO of the ACA, but once they get involved in the activities and camp community, they get through their withdrawal rather quickly.

The biggest culprits are the parents, he insisted. “Part of going to camp is learning how to solve problems with your friends and your counselors, but also learning to manage yourself better,” he said.

Despite often being forced to sign a pledge, parents and campers find ways to subvert the rules—like the night at the International Sports Training Camp in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, when a camper’s teddy bear began vibrating.

“When we catch them with the phone, we confiscate it,” said Mark Major, camp director. The parents must then pay $25 to get the phone back, a fine the camp donates to charity. Several years

ago, that added up to a $400 donation, but last year only $50.

“There’s a very interesting paradigm shift that’s happening now,” said Major, whose camp has never allowed technology throughout its 25-year existence.

“Ten to 15 years ago, parents used to send their kids with two cellphones, so when we found one they would still have a backup.

Now, the parents are on our side.”

In an ironic twist of technology, the fears Serena Gibson of South Philadelphia felt knowing she wouldn’t be allowed to call her daughter when she first went to camp at age 7 were quelled when she saw videos posted by the camp on Facebook that showed Tayana was having fun.

Other parents, too, have

learned to go with the flow.

“There are definitely times I wish could pick up the phone and say, ‘How are you? I miss you,’” Cristy Michaels of Bella Vista said about when her kids, Georgia, 11, and Marina, 8, go to camp. “But it’s definitely better not to do that.

You’re sending your kid to get a sense of self, independence and autonomy.” (Submitted)

How to choose the right camp School will be out before you know it, and for most families, that means sending kids to camp—and figuring out how to pay for it. What used to be a leisure-time luxury for school-aged kids is now a necessity for many families, especially those with two working parents. And experts say camp’s value extends far beyond childcare.

“Camp is a deeply enriching out-of-school-time experience that gives kids the opportunity to practice social and emotional learning skills,” said Tom Rosenberg, president and CEO of the American Camp Association, ACA. “It helps kids develop a strong inner self, practice empathy and communication, collaborate with a group and nurture an appreciation for diverse ideas.”

Whereas school is all about learning the Common Core curriculum and striving for good grades, camp allows kids to take risks in a safe environment, Rosenberg said. “Camp is where they learn it’s OK to fail, make mistakes and try again.”

Great! But… that doesn’t make the process of choosing one any easier.

Here’s what you need to know.

How much does day camp cost vs. sleepaway camp?

Weekly tuition for day camp ranges from $199 to $800, while sleepaway camp can cost anywhere from $630 to $2,000 a week, according to the ACA. If your main priority is finding quality childcare coverage at an affordable price, consider a day camp offered by the YMCA, Boys & Girls Club or your town’s parks and recreation department. While full-day camp hours vary, a typical schedule might be 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. or 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Some camps

offer before-care and after-care for an extra charge. They tend to start within a week of schools in your area closing for the summer and end within a week of schools opening up again.

Should you enroll your child in a specialty camp?

While a specialty camp might be a good fit for a middle school student with an interest in STEM or musical theater, young children should start in a well-rounded day camp, says Jill Tipograph, CEO and founder of Everything Summer, an independent educational consulting firm that guides families to rightfit camps and summer programs.

“When you expose children at a young age to different activities, they have fewer phobias and biases,” she said. “If they are in a well-rounded day camp with an encouraging staff, they will try new things.”

She suggests sticking with a day camp through age 9 or 10 and then introducing a week or two of specialty camp as the child approaches middle school.

Should I send my child to one camp for eight weeks or to multiple camps?

Beyond potential cost-saving benefits—some camps offer a discount if you sign up for most or all of the summer—sticking with one camp is the key to building an immersive community that will help a child nurture and develop friendships, Rosenberg says.

“The more frequently you go to the same place, the more comfortable you are in terms of breaking out of your mold,” Tipograph adds.

That said, if your tween is obsessed with robotics, it’s OK to try a special program. When do

you have to register?

Winter is the best time to snag a spot. “Directors are marketing their camps year-round to get parents to enroll,” says Tipograph, adding that some camps with limited space fill up soon after registration opens. Is financial aid an option?

More than 93 percent of camps report offering financial assistance, and 67 percent of camps award $10,000 or more in scholarships annually, according to the ACA’s Rosenberg. It’s important to ask, even if it’s not on the camp’s website.

“Don’t assume financial aid doesn’t exist,” he says. “Once a director knows you’re interested in their program, they will do their very best to help you find ways to afford it.” While camp directors want to “fill beds” in a financial sense, he adds, they also truly believe in the power of camp and the benefits campers receive from the experience. But start the process as soon as you can, since there are limitations on bandwidth. Is financial aid distributed by the camp itself, or are there national grants?

Both. Some camps offer their own financial aid based on a sliding scale, while other funds come from need-based or organizations, such as SCOPE, which subsidizes camp tuition for children from underserved communities, or faith-based organizations such as Foundation for a Jewish Camp, which offers $1,000 off the first year of tuition at a Jewish camp. Or approach your congregation; if you want to send your child to a Christian camp for example, your church might have a scholarship fund specifically for that purpose. Established day camps like the YMCA aim to

provide some sort of financial assistance to all families that meet income requirements. Any other tips for reducing costs?

Day camp expenses fall under the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, which allows families to claim up to 35 percent of qualifying expenses—or up to $3,000 for one dependent and up

to $6,000 for two or more dependents. Day camp tuition can also be paid using a Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account. Still feeling the pinch? Ask about a payment plan. Above all, don’t be afraid to get creative, says Tipograph says.

Consider working in the camp office to cut costs, for example, or

barter your services for a reduction in fees. This could be an option for teachers who have summers off, or even for a full-time working mom who knows marketing, copywriting or website design. “And nurses are always in high demand,” she adds. “You never know if you have a skill the organization needs.” (Submitted)

Mets drama won’t fade LIVE MIKE Mike Smith

Say what you want about the 1986 Mets, but almost 33 years after they beat the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, they might still be the most entertaining team in New York City. And more often than not, it’s for the wrong reasons.

The Mets of the 1980s were a larger-than-life team and became an indelible part of this city’s sports culture. Larger-than-life superstars, a penchant for the dramatic between the lines, and an absolute rogue’s gallery of miscreants away from the ballfield, they were a lot of things; but boring was never one of them.

This week, the Mets found themselves embroiled in yet another controversy, and it just goes to show you that the more things change, the more they stay the same.

Former starter and current Mets’ announcer Ron Darling was promoting his newest book when he let an interesting tidbit drop. Prior to Game 3 of the 1986 World Series, Darling alleges that Mets’ centerfielder and leadoff hitter Lenny Dykstra stood in the on-deck circle hurling racial epithets at Red Sox starter Dennis “Oil Can” Boyd as he got ready to dig into the box.

Darling went on to say that even though he didn’t believe Dykstra was actually racist, the things he said in an attempt to get under Boyd’s skin were, “Worse than anything Jackie Robinson might have heard.”

Taken on the surface, the story seems believable. Darling, a Yale graduate, is one of the most respected pundits in the game and well thought of in most baseball circles. Dykstra on the other hand, is an ex-convict who was always thought to have a screw— or several— loose.

But Dykstra fought back against the allegations, announc-

ing that he was going to sue his former teammate for defamation and turning in an all-time sports radio performance on ESPN’s “The Michael Kay Show” on Monday afternoon in which the station’s censors couldn’t keep up with his foul-mouthed rants.

Furthermore, a number of Mets jumped to Dykstra’s defense, including black players like Doc Gooden, Darryl Strawberry and Kevin Mitchell, who didn’t believe that Dykstra—for all his faults—had done what Darling alleged.

So what we have now is a hesaid/they-said situation which offers up far more questions than simply what happened on this day.

What does Darling have to gain from his accusations if they aren’t true? If they are, are players like the ones defending Dykstra simply defending a culture that has long demonized athletes who dared to break clubhouse confidentiality for a profit?

When former Yankee pitcher

This week, former Mets pitcher Ron Darling accused teammate Lenny Dykstra of hurling racial epithets at an opposing pitcher during the 1986 World Series. The media firestorm that ensued proved that even 33 years after their World Series run, the 1986 Mets continue to dominate headlines. Photo courtesy Wikipedia.org

Jim Bouton penned “Ball Four” in 1970, he included several embarrassing anecdotes about former teammates that led, essentially, to him being blacklisted from the game. Judging by the immediate reaction to the Dykstra story, it would seem that nearly half a century later, ballplayers still look down on those who pull the curtain

back on life in the big leagues.

It will be interesting to see where this story goes from here; if Darling will offer a correction to the story or if anyone will corroborate it. If Dykstra will go forward with the lawsuit or if this will lead to tension between Darling and another member of the ‘86 Mets, Keith Hernandez, in the

Mets’ telecast booth.

But one thing is for certain; no matter how this tale plays out, the tumultuous 1986 Mets won’t fade away, at least not for a good, long while. And as a sports fan, I don’t think that’s a bad thing.
