Westchester officials call on state to increase aid program

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

L

eaders of Westchester municipalities are calling on state officials to increase an aid program that provides funding to local governments.

Created in 2005, Aid and Incentives for Municipalities (AIM) is an unrestricted state funding source provided to all of New York’s cities, towns and villages outside of New York City.

The program was created in order to consolidate a number of local funding streams, curtail property tax increases and provide incentives to local governments to consolidate or share services.

For the upcoming fiscal year, Gov. Andrew Cuomo has pegged $714 million for the AIM program in the state budget.

According to budget archives, that figure has remained unchanged for seven straight years.

“It’s great that the state says its own spending increase is limited to two percent a year,” Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said.

“But part of the reason they’ve done that is by not increasing payments to local governments.

That’s a spending shift, not a spending limit.” » » AID PROGRAM

Stamford showdown coming on proposed High Ridge Park development

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

proposal to repurpose one of the six buildings at Stamford’s High Ridge Park office complex into a fitness facility has run into significant opposition from neighboring residents — some-

thing that real estate firm George Comfort & Sons said is indicative of a growing “anti-development” trend in the city.

“It’s definitely something we’ve seen in Stamford in particular,” said Andrew Joseph, a vice president at Manhattan-based George Comfort & Sons, » » HIGH RIDGE

Lofty vision brings New York City landlord to Rye office building

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

T

wo years ago, when his company was looking for an office property in Westchester County, Matthew Kiamie said all it took was a tour of Acadia Realty Trust’s airy headquarters at 411 Theodore Fremd Ave. in Rye to know he had found his building.

Kiamie, vice president and chief operating officer of Manhattan real estate firm Windsor Management Corp., said the building’s look and feel made it a natural fit for his company’s entrance into the Westchester market.

“I toured a lot of different buildings over the years and when I first came into this one here and saw the Acadia space, with the polished concrete floors, open ceilings and the sunlight coming in through the windows, it really felt like a New York City property for us,” said Kiamie.

Kiamie described being instantly attracted to the potential of the building’s 14-foot ceiling heights and eight-foot windows. It provided the loft industrial-style product he said is more common in Manhattan than Westchester.

About $25 million later, Kiamie’s Windsor Management became new owners of the three-story, 119,000-square-foot office building in fall 2016. It marked the first purchase in Westchester County for Windsor, which owns seven high-rise commercial office buildings in lower midtown Manhattan, along with a 164,000-square-foot building in Shelton, Connecticut.

Beyond his interest in the building’s lofty potential, it also didn’t hurt that offices at 411 Theodore Fremd were 100-percent occupied at the time of purchase, with 25 different tenants.

MARCH 26, 2018

“That shows how the previous owner was able to make improvements to the building here,” Kiamie said.

“Not only the occupancy level, but the location was a driving factor. Rye is a very affluent area both for businesses and residents.”

Built in 1982, the 411 Theodore Fremd building had already undergone some extensive renovations from the previous ownership, Baywater TN 411 Theodore Fremd LLC. That long name represents a joint venture between Baywater Properties of Darien, True North Management Group of White Plains and WillKen Investments of Rye. WillKen is an affiliate company of the building’s prior owner, Rye-based Willett Companies LLC. The company teamed up with Baywater and True North on a $10.8 million deal to purchase the building in 2012.

David Genovese, CEO and founder of Baywater, said the property had lost major tenants in New York Life Insurance Company and Lake Group Media and was struggling to replace them at the time the new ownership took over.

“We were able to acquire the property at a significant discount to the price previously paid, which allowed us to renovate the lobbies, hallways and the cafeteria, as well as the exterior of the building,” Genovese said. The company hired Fairfield County firm Eric Rains Landscape Architecture LLC to lead the renovations.

By 2015, the new ownership and leasing adviser Jones Lang LaSalle had the building fully leased after purchasing it at 55 percent.

The biggest fish reeled in during that time was Acadia. The publicly traded real estate investment trust operates mostly large retail centers, including Cortlandt Town Center and Bedford Green Shopping

Center in Westchester.

The company worked with Manhattan firm TPG Architecture LLP to renovate and move into a 30,000-square-foot space at 411 Theodore Fremd in August 2015. Acadia actually downsized slightly in its move there from White Plains.

Acadia’s renovated open-concept design features a mix of sitting and standing desks, small rooms for private phone calls, a small yoga and fitness room and a kitchen with its own dining booths. Little touches such as meeting rooms branded for the cit-

ies Acadia operates in and a gumball-dispensing gas pump add life to the space.

Despite its Rye location, the office gives off an urban feel, as Kiamie described it.

“It had that very similar, loft-style installation with the concrete, open ceilings and the exposed Q-decking, steel and ductwork,” he said.

Kiamie said his goal is to “continue along the path of the previous owner” while providing additional capital improvements over the next several years. A team from CBRE of Michael McCall, Brian Carcaterra and Kellene Callahan is handling leasing. The build-

ing has also been rebranded as Kiamie 411.

Genovese said the ownership group had close connections with many of the companies in the building, and wanted to make sure it found the right firm to take over the building.

“They are hands-on, responsive, high-integrity owners who will own the building for a long time,” Genovese said of Windsor and the Kiamie family.

The building does have some space either available or soon to be open, with suites ranging from 828 square feet to around 6,000 square feet.

Windsor retained Bridgeport architect firm Antinozzi Associates LP to oversee a number of major capital improvements that include new exterior and interior signage and upgraded building entrances and façades.

The building has a lawn space close to the size of a football field where the ownership plans to add a mix of seating, event space and recreational amenities.

“The plans are under development for it now,” Kiamie said, “but it’s an underutilized section of the property that we really think will provide a big impact for the tenant as a collaborative space to go outside on nice days.”

The building has managed to find tenants in an environment where several suburban office buildings have been torn down and converted to other uses.

CBRE’s McCall said three main factors make it attractive to companies.

First, there’s access to transit: it’s about 1.5 miles to the Harrison train station, with a shuttle available. The building’s loft style offices also offer a different kind of product for Westchester. Third, he said the building has had sustained quality ownership.

“So when you check the box on all three of those, it’s a safe bet for a tenant,” McCall said.

He added that the building has amenities rare for its size, including a fitness center, cafeteria and private shuttle to the train.

Kiamie said his company could eye more buildings in the county, but that it was too early for specifics. He described Windsor as traditionally a long-term holder of its properties.

“Being a family business, we treat these properties personally,” said Kiamie. “We get to know our tenants, along with the business professionals in the community.”

BAKER RESIDENTIAL SUES LEGION OF CHRIST TO GET PROPERTY DEED

Baker Residential LP plans to build 73 to 116 houses in Thornwood, but one crucial facet is missing, the deed.

Baker Residential has sued the Legion of Christ, owner of the 165-acre property, to compel the Catholic religious order to convey title to the property.

The developer struck a deal with the Legion of Christ in 2014 to buy the property for $11.9 million, contingent on Baker getting land use approvals by this past Jan. 22. If approvals were not obtained by then, according to the complaint filed in Westchester Supreme Court, Baker could either cancel the contract or waive the contingency date and proceed with the purchase.

The White Plains developer says it fell short of getting everything it needed and it wants to proceed with the transaction. The Legion, according to the complaint, has refused to do so.

“We have very serious affirmative defenses and counterclaims,” said P. Daniel Hollis III, the Legion’s attorney, that establish the basis for not closing the transfer “at the moment, because of actions of Baker.”

He said he was not at liberty to discuss the Legion’s position because the court papers have not yet been filed.

The property is known as the Thornwood Conference Center and was formerly owned by International Business Machines. In 1999, the Legion bought 264 acres from IBM, reportedly for more than $33 million.

It planned to use it as a seminary, according to news accounts, and later planned to build a liberal arts university.

The Legion of Christ was an influential international movement with seminaries and schools across the world.

That began to change around

2006 after Pope Benedict dismissed the founder, Marcial Maciel, from the ministry.

Maciel had been accused of pedophilia and of sexually abusing Legion seminarians, according to the National Catholic Reporter. In 2010, the Vatican acknowledged that he had fathered three children by two women.

Hundreds of priests and seminarians left the order and many of its schools and centers were closed.

The Legion sold part of its Thornwood property in 2014 to EF Academy, an international boarding school.

It made the deal with Baker for the remaining 165 acres of undeveloped land.

Baker paid a $250,000 deposit and it said it has spent another $1,250,000 getting government approvals.

The developer is part of Baker Realty Services, a 51-year-old family business. The company has built 5,000 dwellings in six states in 25 years, according to an affidavit by Christopher T. Baker, company president, generating more than $1.5 billion in sales revenue.

The Thornwood contract price was based on 61 houses. Any more than that, Baker would pay another $110,000 per unit. The contract also cited interest by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection in buying 49 acres to protect the city’s watershed.

If that land were sold to the city within three years of the Legion selling the property to Baker, according to lawsuit documents, the devel-

oper and the Legion would divide the net proceeds.

Baker said the Mount Pleasant Planning Board was supposed to consider its subdivision plans on Jan. 4 but bad weather caused the meeting to be canceled.

Baker says it did not have all of the necessary government approvals as of the Jan. 22 deadline, and it advised the Legion that it was invoking the contract terms.

The Legion accused Baker of acting in bad faith by not diligently pursuing a deal on the 49 acres that New York City DEP wanted.

Until Baker memorializes its obligation to pay the Legion its share of a transaction with New York City, Hollis said in a Feb. 2 letter to Baker’s law firm, “our client will not close with your client at all for any price.”

INVESTORS SEEK $17M FROM WHITE PLAINS DEVELOPER IN FRAUD SUITS

Three months after investors sued struggling White Plains developer Michael P. D’Alessio over failed Manhattan condominium projects, a bank and more investors have filed lawsuits.

The investors are demanding at least $17 million in damages and a court order stopping D’Alessio from selling or transferring the properties.

D’Alessio and his enterprises have carried out a “massive scheme” to defraud them, investors allege in three lawsuits filed in Westchester Supreme Court.

Kelp harvesting on the upswing in Connecticut

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

S

eaweed — it’s not just for sushi anymore.

At least that’s the idea behind Connecticut’s growing kelp-farming industry, where entrepreneurs like Norwalk’s J.P. Vellotti are betting that the product will revolutionize not just the culinary scene, but also the medicinal/pharmaceutical and even the energy fields.

“It’s still such a new field here,” said Vellotti, a longtime employee of Norwalk oyster supplier Norm Bloom and Son; that firm partnered with him to create East Coast Kelp Farms, where Vellotti is general manager.

“We wanted to get in early,” Vellotti said. “I give a lot of credit to the state of Connecticut — they saw the potential and had the forethought to put the licensing process in place.”

Vellotti’s is one of five new farms that the state Department of Agriculture has licensed to grow kelp this year, nearly doubling the number of firms working the kelp beat in Connecticut.

Another, Atlantic Clam Farms of Connecticut Inc. in Greenwich, is awaiting approval.

“The number is really growing,” said Tessa Getchis, an aquaculture extension specialist with the Connecticut Sea Grant and UConn Extension Program in Groton.

“There’s a lot of enthusiasm and excitement out there.”

She allowed, however, that “the businesses involved are still small scale — they’re testing the waters. Most of them are primarily shellfish farmers and nobody’s doing it full time.”

That’s partly because kelp farming is a seasonal business. Seeding is usually done in November/ December, and harvesting takes place, in May/June. The process involves collecting mature, adult plants which reproduce onto string wrapped around a segment of PVC pipe; once the seeds have developed into juvenile plants, they are wrapped around a rope, which is then suspended 3 to 6 feet below the surface of the water between two moorings.

Buoys and other weights are used throughout the winter to man-

age the line’s position, during which time each plant can grow from 1 millimeter to 10 feet or even more.

After harvesting in May, the ropes are brought in to clear the way for summertime activities.

Vellotti noted that his farm in Long Island Sound measures about 50 acres, but noted, “It’s like a Russian nesting doll. Inside that there’s a 50-foot buffer with safety buoys. Right now, I have 12 kelp lines spread 50 feet apart. So, there’s probably only about six acres actually being used to grow kelp.”

One of the key players in the Connecticut kelp industry is Bren Smith. A fisherman turned sustainable shellfish and seaweed farmer and entrepreneur, Smith’s Branfordbased Thimble Island Oyster Co. operates one of the first sustainable “3D ocean farms” -- designed to meet the growing need for sustainable seafood while also restoring ecosystems -- in the country.

“I’m not an environmentalist,” Smith declared, “but I want to protect and help revive the environment so I can continue to make a living.”

Having spent most of his adult life “fishing the globe,” Smith said, “The last thing I wanted to do was grow vegetables. But the economics of this were a game-changer — there’s no need to add water or

fertilizer. It’s a winter crop and there aren’t a lot of those, so I can do it during the off-season. It requires a really low input, which keeps the overhead down. It’s the nail salon model of the sea.”

In 2013, Smith established the nonprofit organization GreenWave to train new seaweed farmers and provide them with two years of support. He said that anyone armed with about $30,000, a boat and a lease — which requires approvals from state regulators and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — can farm 20 acres of near-shore seafloor, which can produce 10 to 30 tons of kelp and 250,000 shellfish per acre in five months.

While educating the public about the benefits of kelp — it’s high in vitamins A, B and C, as well as iron and protein and low in calories — is still a work in progress, Smith said that demand from restaurants, food wholesalers and the like has resulted in “our having standing orders for 500 pounds of kelp right now. And there will probably be a total of 100 to 150 pounds harvested from the entire East Coast this season.”

Still, he said, sales are “miniscule. We need more farms, more permits, more hatcheries.”

And more uses. Although both Smith and Vellotti said that restau-

rants and food services are becoming increasingly adventurous with what Smith calls “the new kale” — GreenWave’s team has prepared kelp linguini, ice cream and even cocktails — food is only one application. Carrageenan and algins — both of which can be extracted from edible seaweeds — are used in pharmaceuticals as binders and emulsifiers, as well as in cough medicine and in dental molding preparations. Skin treatments, toothpastes, shampoos and other cosmetic products can also include seaweed.

Kelp is also used as fertilizer, paint, paper, cardboard and biofuel — although the latter application is still very much in the early stages in the U.S. As Smith noted, kelp can make economic sense when measured against other products. UConn Professor Charles Yarish, one of the nation’s leading kelp researchers, has indicated that once the market is fully established, seaweed-derived biofuel could be produced for as little as $80 a ton — considerably cheaper than corn and wheat, which trade at $160-190 per ton.

This past November, Yarish and his UConn team, along with a team at the Woods Hole (Massachusetts) Oceanographic Institution received a $5.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to determine whether seaweed can be mass-produced as a biofuel in the federal waters 12 to 200 miles off the New England coast.

According to San Francisco’s Grand View Research, the global commercial seaweed market was $10.31 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach $22.13 billion by 2024, a compound annual growth rate of 8.9 percent.

How quickly the state's kelp farming industry can grow is still an unknown, according to Getchis at Connecticut Sea Grant. “It’s a very rigorous permit process,” she noted, confirming what Vellotti said. “There’s a lot of concern about protecting marine life and their habitats, as well as ensuring that people can continue to swim and boat safely.”

But, she added, “It’s always a good idea to diversify. Most kelp farmers today are also growing oysters and clams, so by diversifying they could be giving themselves an insurance policy by growing two products at the same time.”

Yorkville Sports celebrates four decades in business

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

A

l Morales stood in his office on a recent weekday morning in front of a wall that chronicles the 40-year history of his business, Yorkville Sports Associates.

Awards he has won over the decades mingle with signed baseballs, figurines and photos of iconic sports figures, like the 1992 United States men's Olympic basketball team, nicknamed the “Dream Team.” A framed print out of a poem titled “Success” sits next to photos of his children in their sports gear at various points in their lives.

“This was when we were just starting out,” he said, gesturing to a photo of Morales and his wife in their company’s first store-

front in Manhattan.

Founded in 1978 and based in Yorktown Heights, the company organizes and runs various amateur sports leagues in New York City and Westchester County for companies and community groups.

Yorkville Sports provides professional officials for each game, T-shirts for members and all other necessary sporting supplies. Yorkville also rents the playing fields where games are held.

The company’s Westchester branch organizes leagues for sports including softball, kickball and golf. Recently the company added a new bocce ball league to its roster.

“It’s really up and coming,” Morales said of the sport.

Morales also hopes to add dodgeball to his company’s list of leagues in the near future.

Prior to starting the business, Morales spent the better part of a decade working as a counselor and therapist, first as a youth counselor and later as a family and drug counselor. But years of the mentally and emotionally draining job took its toll.

“I needed a change of direction,” he said. “I just got burnt out. I just said, ‘I’ve got to go.’”

For a change of scenery, a young Morales moved to Yorkville in 1977, an “old German town” on the Upper East Side.

“I started getting myself physically and mentally back in shape,” he said, adding that he spent the following year running, working out and taking the bus to nearby taekwondo classes.

“Everytime I needed change for the bus, I would go to this candy store. I felt

bad just getting change, so I’d try to buy something,” he recalled. “And eventually, I bought that store.”

Morales purchased that candy store in Yorkville in 1978, but instead of a candy shop, he had a different idea in mind for its future.

“My passion was baseball and sports,” he said. “I didn’t want to sell candy, so within six months, I had gloves, baseball bats, and it just took off from there.”

Sports have always been a part of Morales’ life. He even played semi-professional baseball and tried out for the Major Leagues before an ankle injury brought those big league dreams to a halt.

After opening his new sporting goods store, Yorkville Sports, Morales soon began playing in various neighborhood recreation leagues.

Eventually, one of the league owners offered him a proposition.

“One of the leagues said, ‘Would you mind taking this over? We need someone to take this over,’” he recalled. “I said ‘Great, now I’ll sell some more uniforms at my store.’ That’s all I had in mind.”

Morales took out space in a local newspaper, advertising his league and soliciting any

teams who might be interested in joining.

“I was just looking for neighborhood teams,” he said.

The response, he said, was overwhelming.

A number of corporations, including Major League Baseball and CBS Sports, later reached out to Morales, telling him they’d be interested in signing up employees to compete.

“It’s like I just stepped into it and God said, ‘You’ve put your time in. Here you go, kid,’” he said.

For corporations, Morales said these recreation leagues can build camaraderie, improve work relationships and promote health and wellness in the workplace.

“Some of these companies, these people didn’t speak to each other, they didn’t know each other before these games, and now they’re playing with the vice president of the company and the guy from the copy room. It’s a different atmosphere,” he said. “It helps them to build a bond from top to bottom and helps make them a well-oiled machine.”

“People are just people when they come out to the field,” he said. “They aren’t a vice president

or whatever, they are just a ballplayer.”

Morales said there are numerous benefits from the services his company provides.

“Staff are healthier, they’re happier, they mingle, they socialize. They go out after the games. These are distractions from the daily stresses, from the long hours.”

Since its inception, the organization has worked with more than 16,000 firms.

Morales, along with the company’s main offices, moved from Manhattan to Yorktown Heights in 2002. Soon after, Yorkville began to offer these leagues throughout Westchester.

“We are putting an emphasis on our corporate presence here because we’re here, and TWBis Beusman the need here,” he said. “That’s probably the WCBJ way it’s going to go, but we never want to close 7.375” w x 7.125” h out the community teams.”

10/30/17 In celebration of the company’s four decades in business, Morales plans to host an anniversary celebration later this month.

“I’ve been thinking about retirement, but I just can’t. It’s been a hell of a ride.”

which also maintains an office in the High Ridge office park. “We’ve been working with the city to address the concerns.”

Those concerns center primarily on traffic and noise that would result from Life Time, a chain of health clubs headquartered in Chanhassen, Minnesota, removing the existing building at 3 High Ridge Park and replacing it with a facility that would have the same footprint, Joseph said. The three-story building, once the corporate headquarters for Frontier Communications, has been vacant since the telecommunications provider moved to 401 Merritt 7 in Norwalk in 2015.

3 High Ridge was built in 1970 and, like the other buildings on the 38-acre site, was designed by architect Victor Hanna Bisharat, who also designed Landmark Square Tower downtown.

Most of the buildings retain the sort of space-age, “futuristic” design then in vogue, but unlike them, 3 High Ridge is in dire need of cleaning and

Spano called the freeze a “slow strangulation of city governments.”

“The amount that Yonkers taxpayers send to Albany in the form of income and sales taxes has grown enormously over the years, but the amount we get back under AIM has remained the same,” Spano said. “A two percent increase every year would have avoided the layoffs and service reductions that are now possible in the upcoming city budget.”

Under the AIM program, more than $134 million will be designated for cities, towns and villages in Westchester County. Yonkers, the most populous city in Westchester, receives the bulk of the county’s funding at roughly $108 million.

“If the state had simply increased AIM funding by two percent every year since 2007 and kept it there, Yonkers

repairs; several windows are boarded up and cracks are visible in its façade.

Joseph noted that the building will be eligible for consideration as a historic place by the National Register in just two years — but no one seems particularly interested in waiting that long for a resolution.

At the center of the dispute is Stamford’s master plan, which three years ago was amended to allow for “the adaptive reuse of compatible office, research and development, residential, government, educational and medical uses” outside the downtown area — a way of addressing the fact that the once popular single-corporate tenant concept has mostly passed. “Adaptive reuse” allows for new buildings to be constructed, provided they maintain the general tenor of the surrounding neighborhood.

Last June, the city’s zoning board unanimously voted against Building and Land Technology’s proposed development of an 800unit residential complex at 260 Long Ridge Road —

a project that Mayor David Martin, regularly accused of allowing overdevelopment in the city, opposed.

On Feb. 26, the planning board voted against the Life Time project.

However, George Comfort & Sons and Life Time believe that zoning board approval could come at its scheduled March 26 hearing — although such an action will require a super-majority, rather than a simple vote, of its six members.

Comfort & Sons “in our opinion is not looking to ‘adaptive reuse,’ but to redevelop,” said Steven Grushkin, an attorney with Stamford’s Wofsey, Rosen, Kweskin & Kuriansky, who has been hired by some of the residents living near High Ridge Park.

“The neighbors’ opinion is that (Comfort) is primarily looking for the highest and best return on their investment, not that they are trying to find other uses for the building that would be more compatible,” he said.

Joseph at Comfort maintains that the property does not lend itself to subdivision

into smaller units, a statement with which Grushkin disagreed.

“When all is said and done, there’s no question that what they’re trying to do would affect not just this particular parcel but the entire city,” the attorney said.

“What they want is Chelsea Piers on steroids.”

The laughter that accompanied Grushkin’s last remark indicated he was aware of his hyperbole. Stamford’s Chelsea Piers measures 300,000 square feet and encompasses seven indoor tennis courts, ice rinks, batting cages and an Olympicsize swimming pool as well as the headquarters of the NBC Sports Group. But the meaning behind his remark was clear: In his clients’ opinion, Life Time would be a disruptive force.

“We’ve run into this kind of opposition before,” said Aaron Koehler, director of real estate development at Life Time, “but we were taken a little off-guard with this particular location. It will have the same footprint and impact as what’s currently there — and involves redevel-

oping an eyesore.”

Although full details of what Life Time hopes to build in Stamford won’t be finalized until all approvals are obtained, Koehler said the building would end up at “under 100,000 square feet.

We’d originally said 114,000, given the traffic we expected, but the city said to keep it under 100,000.”

Although expectations are that the Stamford club would draw 5,000 members, both Koehler and Joseph said that they would hardly all be coming in at the same time, and that most of the increased traffic would take place outside of morning and evening rush hours.

Weekends would, of course, be another story — employees at other High Ridge Park tenants like Affinion Group, PDC Brands, Eagle Ridge Investment Management and Comfort itself are rarely to be seen there on Saturdays and Sundays — but Joseph insisted that disruptions would be minimal.

As for concerns over increased noise — the Life Time facility would include a pair of outdoor pools and

tennis courts — Joseph said that, given their positioning, most of the sound would be absorbed by the new building itself. “Noise-mitigating landscaping” would take care of much of the rest, he said.

Life Time has been on something of an area expansion binge of late. In 2014 it opened a 206,000-squarefoot facility in West Harrison, New York, on the former site of The Journal News.

It expects to open the doors of an under-construction 40,000-squarefoot center on the former Reader’s Digest property in Chappaqua, New York, in November.

High Ridge would be the chain’s first Connecticut location. Koehler said the company had looked at various spots in Stamford — all of them corporate parks — before deciding on High Ridge. He said should the current project fail to be passed, “We’d be looking at the same situation at the others.”

Joseph was unwilling to lay odds on how the March 26 zoning hearing might go.

“We’re hopeful,” he said.

would be getting $19 million more this year than we are,” said Spano. “If AIM funding had increased as fast as the overall state budget, we’d be getting $142 million this year.

That’s nearly $35 million more than we are.”

New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson said he hopes the state will update the formula for the program and “provide localities with a fair and reasonable level of fiscal assistance.”

New Rochelle receives $7.1 million in funding through the program.

“AIM funding has been essential to the delivery of municipal services and to holding down local property tax rates, but the state’s support for the AIM program has failed to keep pace with either need or inflation, and that failure has put greater stress on city budgets,” he said.

Even in municipalities where AIM funding isn’t critical, such as Pound Ridge where the funding accounts

for less than 1 percent of its total revenue, the freeze is noticed.

“Clearly, we would like to see it adjusted upwards, because any additional revenue from the state would be helpful considering Pound Ridge isn’t much of a consumer of state or county services,” town Supervisor Kevin C. Hansan said.

Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner agreed, noting that any state assistance to local governments would be helpful in keeping property taxes at a level that would allow the town to attract new residents.

“Every municipality is facing similar problems: maintaining services and being in compliance with the tax cap,” he said. “It would have been nice getting more state funding.”

Peter Baynes, executive director of the New York Conference of Mayors, said an increase in AIM is “long overdue.”

“Just as annual increases in school aid help school districts comply with the tax cap and maintain essential services, municipal governments

need and deserve similar annual increases in state aid,” he said. “The tax cap, which has been well below 2 percent practically since its inception, only accentuates the need for further growth in unrestricted state aid. ” The state has countered that instead of increasing AIM, the administration has invested in other programs that support local governments and taxpayers, including $225 million earmarked in this year’s budget to match local savings associated with the County-Wide Shared Services Initiative. First enacted last year, the initiative was designed to generate savings by facilitating operational collaboration among local governments.

Morris Peters, a spokesperson for the New York State Division of the Budget, said that during the program’s first year, many of the proposals adopted by counties under the plan “will permanently lower the cost of providing

local services, giving taxpayers a much better return on investment.”

A call from mayors like Spano to increase AIM have been heeded by the New York state legislature. The state Senate included in its proposed budget an additional $10 million for the program.

The Assembly’s budget included a $60 million increase.

Assemblymember Amy Paulin, a Scarsdale Democrat, said that “municipalities are not just being asked to forgo an increase; they’re asked to do more with less, since state aid isn’t even increasing at the rate of inflation.”

“Our chamber is committed to making the case to the governor and our colleagues in the Senate,” she said.

But whether those additions will be included in the final plan remain to be seen. A $50 million increase to AIM was proposed by the Assembly last year, though that increase was ultimately not included in the budget.

The new team will be composed of Chief Operating Officer Shan Jeffreys, Director of Finance James Michel and Director of Human Resources Melinda Brayton. Lt. Gov. Nancy Wyman, who serves as chair of Access Health’s board, said the organization’s “first priority is the health of Connecticut residents — that is unchanged.”

“Access Health CT’s leadership team will also continue to ensure its great employees have the tools and training necessary to continue the delivery of excellent customer service to its customers,” said Michel.

AHCT’s board will continue conducting a search to fill the role of a permanent CEO.

CLAIRE’S FILES FOR CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY

Ship brokerage company TrueNorth Chartering LLC has relocated its headquarters from 53 Danbury Road to 372 Danbury Road in Wilton.

The company headquarters will occupy the entire first floor in its new location.

Cushman & Wakefield arranged the 4,842-square-foot lease for TrueNorth. Members of the Cushman & Wakefield's Leasing Services Group — Associate Director Brian Scruton, Senior Director Kathleen Fazio and Associate John Altieri — represented landlord Wilton GSE LLC in the transaction, while Senior Director Adam Klimek represented the tenant.

“The tenant’s prior space was compartmentalized and not conducive to a highly efficient work environment,” Klimek said. “The work environment supported by the landlord (at 372 Danbury) will address the firm’s specific operations and rapid growth.”

372 Danbury Road is a 92,500-square-foot, two-story office building. Other tenants include Stamford Health Medical Group, Power Home Remodeling Group and The Westport Day School.

LAWMAKER SEEKS RELEASE OF TOWN AID GRANTS

State Rep. Richard Smith has called for Connecticut to release $30 million in Town Aid Road (TAR) Grants to address damage caused by the recent series of nor’easters.

The TAR grants have been withheld since December due to the Special Transportation Fund’s budget shortfall.

“If state officials do not release TAR grants to municipalities now, it will have devastating effects on the condition of local roads in the spring,” Smith said.

Smith accused Gov. Dannel Malloy of using the TAR grants as “a political football,” noting that the state had budgeted $60 million in TAR grants for the fiscal year, but that Malloy had decided to suspend half of the funding due to the shortfall.

“We cannot put Connecticut drivers at risk this spring and summer because of a spending dispute,” Smith said.

Smith also asked Malloy to put TAR grants on the agenda for the next State Bond Commission meeting this spring to ensure towns have sufficient funding for infrastructure projects.

Claire’s Stores Inc., a national jewelry retail chain with a ubiquitous presence in shopping malls, has announced it is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The Hoffman Estates, Illinois-based company, which operates more than 5,300 stores in the U.S. under the Claire’s and Icing brands, claims to be in 99 percent of the nation’s malls. Claire’s Stores Inc. held $2.1 billion in debt at the end of last year and vowed to reduce its debt by $1.9 billion. It reported a net income of $28.656 million for the 12 months ending Feb. 3.

In announcing its bankruptcy filing, the company said that “unlike other retailers that have come before it, Claire’s has commenced its restructuring process from a position of unique operational strength.” It added that it was enabling the Chapter 11 process to “effectuate a balance sheet — not an operational — restructuring.”

The company said that

income was $1,751,727.

As a result of this deceit, he only paid a total of $44,213 in federal taxes when he owed an additional $540,182. An investigation by the Internal Revenue Service determined that Furano conducted this fraud by negotiating approximately 2,436 client checks, totaling approximately $1,295,990.23, at his bank for cash rather than depositing the checks into his business accounts, sometimes cashing up to 38 checks in one day.

Furano faces up to five years in prison. An October 2014 search of Furano’s residence by IRS agents uncovered $613,842 in cash, which Furano has agreed to pay to his outstanding tax liability.

Furano is estimated to owe the IRS remaining penalties of $480,179, and he owes the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services $112,360 in unpaid sales taxes he collected from his customers from 2009 to 2013.

it had no plans to shutter its retail operations during the bankruptcy process.

Regionally, Claire’s and Icing stores can be found at malls in Yonkers, White Plains, Jefferson Valley, New City, West Nyack, Stamford, Danbury and Trumbull.

Organic foods company seeks Mount Vernon location and tax deal

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

ce Natural Inc., a Queens-based organic food company, plans to relocate its distribution center to a vacant building in Mount Vernon.

The new location offers more than double the square footage of its Queens home.

Ace had shopped around for a new site that would keep it close to its customer base, looking in the outer boroughs, New Jersey, Long Island and Westchester. The company also was looking for a local government or IDA that would offer financial incentives.

The Mount Vernon IDA supported the deal at its March 14 meeting, granting preliminary approval for property and sales tax relief.

Company officials told the Mount Vernon Industrial Development Agency the move was necessary due to steadily increasing costs of operating in New York City.

The company distributes natural and organic foods, including frozen goods, snacks, gluten-free products, Asian foods and vegan and non-dairy products. Customers include restaurants, caterers and food retailers.

Ace plans to move from a 23,375-square-foot facil-

ity in Long Island City to a 56,678-square-foot office and warehouse at 249 E. Sandford Blvd., between a TD Bank and Staples store.

It will lease the building from Exit 8 Hutch LLC, care of ABS Partners Real Estate in Manhattan and Harrison.

It has an option to buy the property for $7.2 million.

The new site will have offices, a distribution center, and food processing, packing and cold storage facilities. Ace has budgeted $2.7 million for renovations and equipment.

Once an IDA deal is approved, the company says it can finish the work and relocate in four months.

Its 42 employees — 35 full time and 7 part time — will relocate to Mount Vernon.

Ace has a $2.8 million payroll, with average salaries of $262,350 for executives, $75,775 for salaried workers

and $30,334 for hourly workers. Ace expects to add five employees after two years in Mount Vernon.

The IDA gave preliminary approval for a sales tax exemption of $196,645 and property tax relief for 10 years. Current property taxes are $246,867.

The proposed payment in lieu of taxes agreement would begin at $104,854 and increase by 3 percent a year, to $136,811 in year 10. The value of the tax exemption is estimated at $1.6 million.

If Ace buys the property, it expects to take out a $6.5 million mortgage and ask for mortgage recording tax relief of $68,000.

Ace is a privately held corporation. The stockholders include Dawn E. Guarino, 35 percent; Donna C. Kryger, 35 percent; Tor Newman, 25 percent; and Diana Vierling, 5 percent.

Spano highlights development, job growth in State of the City address

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

W

hen Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano reflects on what the city has achieved in recent years, he said that a single word comes to mind: yes.

“Yes invokes feelings of change, renewal, accomplishment and optimism. We have changed the discourse in our city,” Spano said during his State of the City address on March 14. “The days of Yonkers being dismissed are behind us. Now, the state of Yonkers is a really a feeling. It’s a feeling of transformation, a feeling of arrival, a feeling of fulfilled promises.”

Spano noted that during the year, construction on nearly a dozen projects began across the city. He singled out large-scale developments such as Extell Development Co.’s 1,395unit apartment complex and AvalonBay’s 609unit complex along the downtown waterfront.

Strategic Capital LLC, meanwhile, held a topping-out ceremony for the final piece of its sprawling 16-acre, $85 million development along the Hudson River waterfront in Yonkers last year. Other luxury projects, including Ginsburg’s River Tides residences and the Uno apartments at Larkin Plaza opened their doors during the year, while new tenants continue to sign on at the mixed-use development on North Broadway, the Boyce Thompson Center.

“You know what, Starbucks found the west side of Yonkers, so they’re here,” Spano said, referring to the coffee chain’s store opening earlier this year.

The addition of more quality affordable housing was also a focus of his administration in 2017, Spano said.

“Our public housing stock has not been refurbished since World War II,” he said.

In December, the Municipal Housing Authority (MHA) and Enterprise Community Partners gave a preview of the renovations at Valentine Townhomes at 162 Helena Ave., the first step in a three-year, $300 million renovation plan to transform more than 1,700 units of public housing across the city.

“Construction is under way and in some locations it’s completed, with the repair and renovations of every MHA unit across the city,” he said.

The city’s downtown also continues to attract businesses of every size, Spano said, including marketing and advertising agency Hudson Global. That company will move its offices this year from Tarrytown to iPark, a 24-acre technology and office campus on Wells Avenue, bringing 50 skilled jobs to the city.

Film production in Yonkers has also hit an all-time high, the mayor said, with more than 175 productions shooting in the city during 2017 and accounting for nearly $650,000 in revenue for the city.

“With all this activity here in Yonkers comes a growing economy and most importantly more jobs. We’ve attracted over 6,000 full- and part-time jobs to our city since 2012,

with industries such as construction, hospitality, retail, entertainment and technology.”

During his address, Spano also proposed legislation that would require all retail stores to impose an impact fee when dispensing nonreusable bags.

“Customers at ShopRite, just at ShopRite, use anywhere between 300,000 to 400,000 plastic bags each week,” he said of the grocery store’s two locations in Yonkers. “Let’s cut that number significantly, lead by example and be the first big city

in New York state to take action.”

Other highlights Spano addressed in his speech included a $2 million investment to the Edward J. Murray Memorial Skating Center, an improvement project underway at the Nodine Hill water tower and a bike-share program set to start in the spring.

“We’ve faced some challenges, many of them that honestly, I wasn’t really sure we would get through,” he said. “But I have to say that I am continually reassured by the grit and can-do attitude of our city of Yonkers.”

Business coach encourages a new sense of professional accountability

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

I

f one were to judge people by social media postings, it would seem there is an excessive surplus of overconfident people. The endless volume of selfies and postings that boast about ongoing fun times would suggest that no one has a care in the world.

But Christopher J. Wirth doesn’t buy that.

“A lot of people have selfdoubt or what I refer to as paralysis by analysis,” said Wirth, president and CEO of the Greenwich-based consultancy No Quit Living. “But if you look at people’s social media world, typically they are very different from their real world. People chase a like, a retweet or a follow, as opposed to showing what they really are. A lot of people only post the best things.

If you have a terrible day, you are not going to go out and say, ‘Oh, my day stinks.’

You are going to take a selfie at the gym.”

Forcing people to face their self-doubts is a primary focus of No Quit Living, which Wirth founded in 2014 as a coaching company to encourage individuals in their pursuit of professional goals. Wirth said that it is too easy for self-doubters to assign blame for their woes elsewhere without acknowledging that the problem sometimes starts at home.

“Most people don’t realize the simplicity of holding yourself to a level of accountability,” he said.

Acknowledging there is a problem that needs to be addressed is a first step, Wirth said, but many people are often stymied by dysfunctional workplaces that have little room for encouraging innovation among its staff. Over the past year-and-a-half, Wirth expanded his consultancy to challenge companies and nonprofits to consider whether the obstacles they face are of their own making.

Christopher J. Wirth

“We ask people: ‘What’s the mission statement from your company and what’s your personal mission on where you stand?’” he said.

“An issue for many companies is an us-versus-them divide between management and workforce, where a lot of employees feel like they’re working for somebody. One of the things we like to do is knock down the walls and figure out how we can work together, so it is ‘we’ rather than ‘us-versus-them.’ The number one reason people leave companies is not money or pay raises, but because people feel neglected.”

Wirth said that the corporate world has become more cognizant of these issues and is trying to address them. “We’re seeing a trend of companies realizing that they need to invest in their employees,” adding that this ultimately helps a company’s image and bottom line by not carrying the reputation of being the place known for its high turnover and low morale.

In many ways, No Quit Living is the latest career step that enables Wirth to pursue what he described as a passion for helping others achieve their best. A 2001 graduate of Washington College in Chesterton, Maryland, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in business and drama, he was on the school’s basketball team and pursued sports coaching with stints as assistant men’s basketball coach at

the University of Bridgeport and head boys’ varsity basketball coach at Rye Country Day School. Simultaneously, he has worked as a wealth management planner at First Financial Resources in Greenwich, a firm founded by his father Kenneth Wirth.

Wirth has parlayed his No Quit Living consulting in speaking engagements at business conferences across the Northeast and California.

In early 2017, while preparing for a speech at a Boston hotel, Wirth began chatting with the audio-video technician for the event about the possibility of setting up a podcast. That technician, Wes Yee, encouraged Wirth to explore that channel, and the duo created the No Quit Living podcast that launched in April 2017 and recently recorded its 100th episode.

“We’ve had over 115,000 total downloads and we average between 1,000 to 2,500 downloads per episode,” Wirth said, adding that his podcast can be heard on iTunes, Google Play and Stitcher Radio. “It’s really exciting.”

Wirth’s podcast guests have included former Walt Disney World Resort executive Lee Cockerell, best-selling author Tucker Max and designer/blogger Dani DiPirro. In each episode, Wirth asks his guests “What is your no quit story?” and “What happened when you had the opportunity to give up and give in?” After each episode, he has received feedback from shocked and surprised listeners.

“The emails say, ‘This is kind of what I’m going through — I had no idea this person what going through that, too,’” he said.

While Wirth markets himself as a problem solver, even he has problems. He freely admits that he consults with his own coaches to ensure that he’s on the right track.

“It is really humbling to lay your cards out and ask for advice.”

Is Medicaid Home Care an Option Available to me or my Loved ones?

By Anthony J. Enea. Esq.

All too often seniors and their families are faced with the dilemma of deciding whether it is possible for them to continue residing at home in light of their physical and cognitive limitations. Fortunately, for seniors living in the southern tier of New York State the Medicaid home care program is both easily accessible and relatively generous.

One of the first things that helps make Medicaid home care accessible to New York seniors that are in need of assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), being, walking, dressing, feeding, toileting, and bathing, is that the transfer of asset rules for Medicaid eligibility do not apply to home care Medicaid. Thus, a single (non-married) individual who has nonIRA/retirement assets in excess of $15,150 can transfer his or her assets above said amount to anyone and/or an irrevocable trust, and still be eligible for Medicaid home care. IRA’s, 401K’s and other qualified accounts are not considered available resources for Medicaid eligibility. However, the required minimum distributions from said qualified accounts are counted as available income. While, the transfer of assets will disqualify them for the Medicaid nursing home program by creating the 5 year look back period, it does not impact their eligibility for Medicaid home care.

Additionally, the spousal impoverishment rules are also applicable for Medicaid home care. Thus, a potential applicant that is married can transfer his or her non-IRA/ retirement assets in excess of $15,150 to his or her spouse. Then, the spouse of the applicant can execute what is known as a “spousal refusal letter.” He or she advises Medicaid in writing to not look at his or her assets and/or income in determining the eligibility of his or her spouse, but only look at the assets and income of the applicant spouse. Once the transfers are made the applicant spouse would have $15,150 or less in his or her non-IRA assets, thus, making him or her eligible for Medicaid from the resource (assets/savings) perspective.

The execution of a spousal refusal letter by a spouse in either the Medicaid home care or nursing home scenario allows Medicaid to sue the refusing spouse for the value of the services they have provided.

However, in light of the exorbitant private pay cost of either home care or nursing home care versus the Medicaid reimbursement rate (the amount Medicaid pays, which is significantly less) and the fact that there is uncertainty as to whether Medicaid

FCBJ

will pursue a spousal refusal claim, the execution of spousal refusal is often the most logical option.

Another factor which makes the Medicaid home care program accessible to seniors is that they can still retain virtually all of their income to pay for their at home expenses while still being eligible for Medicaid. This is possible because Medicaid allows a recipient to retain the first $862.00 of his or her income, and then contribute all income above said amount to a pooled community trust (administered by a charity), which can then pay the applicant’s bills from said income. Thus, with the exception of a small monthly fee charged by the charity to administer the trust, the full amount of the recipient’s income is available to pay his or her living expenses.

The number of home care hours one can receive is contingent upon the applicant’s ability to perform the ADLs earlier stated herein. The more ADLs the applicant needs assistance with, the more hours of care he or she will generally be eligible for. It is possible that the applicant could receive round the clock care seven days per week depending on his or her needs. However, it is much more common for the applicant to be approved for 8-12 hours per day, seven days a week.

In conclusion, while it sounds unbelievable that one could transfer his or her assets, protect one’s income and still be eligible for Medicaid home care in New York, it is currently a reality. Whether or not New York Medicaid will be able to sustain its largesse remains to be seen, especially if changes are made to the program federally. *Anthony J.

Entrepreneurs Institute at NCC seeks to embolden more with the startup spark

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

N

ot everyone going to college wants to be their own boss. But for those who do, Norwalk Community College (NCC) offers a program that enables students to bypass the job hunt and do just that.

Since the Entrepreneurs Institute began in 2014, one project, a Stamford-based children’s educational company called The Game of Mixed Emotions, has been successfully launched, while other projects are still in the development phase.

On March 28, the college is opening the institute to the wider community, offering anyone the chance to enroll

for the spring semester with tuition set at $399. The school is hoping to launch a fall semester while also maintaining its summer program.

“Community colleges can deliver a curriculum in a very responsive way,” said Kristina Testa-Buzzee, associate dean of extended studies and workforce education at NCC. “Entrepreneurship studies at a four-year institution is traditionally tied to a four-year degree. Folks that come to a community college are seeking an opportunity to pursue a new credential or to start over, and they don’t want to do that in the course of four years, or even two years. A 10- to 12-week program serves the heart of the community and the local economy.”

The institute began

in 2014 when the NCC Foundation created a task force to study the viability of encouraging students to start and run businesses. “We did research and found that more entrepreneurs come through community colleges than four-year schools,” said Ann Rogers, the foundation’s executive director.

In 2015, the institute began as a seven-week, 30-hour summer offering modeled on the Fasttrac program developed by the Kauffman Foundation, a Kansas City-based nonprofit that supports entrepreneurial education. The program was initially limited to NCC students, with scholarships provided by the NCC Foundation.

During the program, students receive lessons on the various aspects of starting and

running a business, including financial goal planning, market research and analysis, monitoring cash flow and finalizing a successful business plan. At the end of the program, students present a “Shark Tank”style pitch on the businesses they hope to create.

Stephen Mersereau, an adjunct professor and instructor for the institute, noted that class sizes are limited to 15 students.

“This is a very intense process, with a lot of oneon-one advisory,” he said, adding that local business owners help with the lessons.

“Experienced entrepreneurs give students more practical insight. By the time you graduate, you are in a position to launch a business — a practical, fundable, presentable business.”

Vincent Murphy, chairman of the NCC Foundation’s Entrepreneurship Task Force, said the program encourages students to tap into the knowledge of as many people who can guide

they found that spot where the market is willing to pay a lot or willing to join to accept the product or innovation,” he said, citing Airbnb and Facebook as being able to redirect their operations during their early years.

However, not every startup becomes Airbnb and Facebook, and recognizing the high mortality rate among startups is a crucial aspect of the program.

“They fail quickly and in significant numbers,” Mersereau said. “Within a year, maybe 20 percent.

Within five years, 50 percent are gone. We try to help people to build and run a sustainable business. Most of these failures can be attributed to a couple of key issues, usually bad decisions involving cash management — people either overextend themselves or make the wrong kind of investment decisions and, ultimately, they are stressed and fail. Preventing those failures tend to sustain more jobs.”

them to self-employment.

“A lot of students ask questions, but there are a lot of questions they don’t know to ask,” he said. “One of those questions involves the degree to which longer-term mentorship can help them sustain.

One of the things we are trying to develop is a mentorship program whereas once someone is in our business launch pipeline, they can have folks on the faculty or the foundation to communicate with and help them along.”

One topic that Mersereau has repeatedly been asked about by his students is funding for a startup. “Cash is king,” he said. “As we go through the process, we learn a lot more of how to get it, control it and make it.”

He said that students also learn about the ability to be nimble and recognize that some companies need to reinvent themselves as they go along.

“The most successful companies have been through several pivots before

What tax reform means for small-business owners

T

he new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has the business world, including smaller companies, scrambling to figure out the implications and opportunities.

One of the major changes is a steep drop in the corporate tax rate, from 35 percent to 21 percent, but that only affects a small percentage of businesses. Most businesses — about 95 percent — are “pass-throughs,” which have their income “pass through” to their owners to be taxed under the individual income tax. New provisions in the act benefit these owners as well, and these are some of the biggest changes to the Tax Code in decades.

Specifically, a new Section 199A creates a 20 percent deduction for business income that passes through to an individual from a pass-through entity to be taxed at individual tax rates. Some details still need to be worked out by the Treasury Department, and how the deduction will work in practice is a complicated question.

The basic formula that most business owners will use to calculate the deduction is the lesser of 20 percent of your “qualified business income” or 50 percent of the W-2 wages that can be allocated to your share of the business.

Qualified business income is best thought of as the ordinary, noninvestment income of the business. Limiting the deduction to 50 percent of W-2 wages means that a business that does not have true employees, and therefore pays little or no wages, is not eligible for 20 percent deduction. But the good news is there are a couple of key exceptions to that rule.

The first exception depends on your taxable income. Taxpayers with income below $315,000, if married filing jointly, or $157,500 for all other filers, are not subject to the wage limitation at all. The limitations phase in as income levels increase, with the full limitation kicking in at

$415,000 for married filers and $207,500 for all other filers.

Congress also made a last-minute addition to the tax bill that benefits pass-through entities that hold large amounts of depreciable property like real estate, but may have few or no employees. The deduction for these companies is limited to 25 percent of W-2 wages plus 2.5 percent of unadjusted basis in the property.

The new pass-through deduction is designed to benefit companies that produce things rather than provide services. For that reason, professional service firms are excluded from claiming the deduction. But there’s an exception to that rule as well. The Act allows the full 20 percent deduction for professional service providers if they are below the income thresholds previously mentioned ($315,000/$157,500).

Above those income levels, the W-2 wage limits phase in just as they do for other business owners, but above the top end of the phase in ($415,000/$207,500), professional services providers qualify for no deduction.

These limits prevent some higher-earning service firms like doctors, lawyers, financial professionals or professional athletes from taking advantage of the change. However, there is a specific carve out in the Act for engineers and architects, who are able to claim the same benefits as a manufacturing company.

Depending on how the Treasury Department writes the regulations, there may be planning opportunities that business owners can take advantage of if they are proactive, so it is a good time to meet with your financial advisory team, including your accountant.

For instance, a business owner may want to discuss whether it makes sense to convert their entity from a pass-through to a Subchapter C corporation. In doing so

the owner will need to weigh whether the costs, accounting changes and possible tax implications associated with the conversion are appropriate for the company.

For high-income producing professional service firms that are looking to preserve the new tax deduction, which they may otherwise be phased out of, it makes sense to perform a strategic analysis of all income sources. By combining a service business with businesses that hold depreciable property or that manufacture goods, they may be able to take greater advantage of the deduction. In some cases, the opposite strategy might be appropriate; separating different departments of the business into standalone entities may preserve the deduction for some lines of the business.

Employees who have the option of becoming independent contractors instead may also benefit from the new deduction, but it’s important to understand that there are rules defining what makes an employee an employee. Also, Subchapter S corporations, partnerships, and LLCs are subject to different treatment in a long list of ways, including payroll taxes, compensation requirements, state filings, liability, and capital gains. Before you make any changes, these are things you should talk through carefully with your legal and tax advisors.

Representatives do not provide tax and/or legal advice. Any discussion of taxes is for general informational purposes only, does not purport to be complete or cover every situation and should not be construed as legal, tax or accounting advice.

In Court—

Bank also sued, demanding $881,000 on a $1 million loan he took out in 2015.

D’Alessio did not respond to a telephone message requesting comment, but he recently apologized to investors in an email.

“I am terribly sorry for these turns of events,” he wrote, “and I recognize that you have lost your hardearned money in these projects.”

His business model was to buy Upper East Side townhouses, demolish or gut them, and build luxury condominiums. He guaranteed the loans personally and promised investors returns of 10 to 16 percent per year and quick repayment of principal.

Four investors sued D’Alessio, Michael Paul Enterprises and project entities in December after he stopped making payments.

They demanded to

inspect the financial records to trace use of funds on the $90.2 million projects.

Seventeen investors, including the original four accusers, filed three new lawsuits on March 13.

They charge D’Alessio and his enterprises with fraud, unjust enrichment, breach of contract and breach of guaranty.

They claim, for instance, that D’Alessio enterprises fabricated construction costs on a $19 million project on East 67th Street, have not paid subcontractors and have moved money in and out of an account “as if it were their personal piggy bank.”

Investors in a $31.4 million project on East 62nd Street said that $13.6 million in construction costs billed last November were “fictitious,” and that “little, if any, of the work billed was actually performed.”

A New Rochelle investment company claims that D’Alessio moved “millions of

dollars into his own account,” in a $23.4 million project on East 64th Street.

Investment companies that have sued the developer include Attis Properties of Harrison; East 64th Street Realty Partners of New Rochelle; and RNG WEA LLC of Morganville, New Jersey.

Individual investors include Joseph Breda of Pelham; Joshua and Angie Brown of Stamford, Connecticut; Robert Cicero of New Milford, Connecticut; Rella Fogliano of Pelham; Stacey Gendels of New Rochelle; Philip and Ellen Goldstein of the Bronx; Philip Healy of Bedford, New Hampshire; Keith Hummel of West Harrison; Jacqueline Martinez of Hauppauge; Douglas Scribelli of New York City; Marilyn Shendell of New Rochelle; and Bonni Stanley of New Rochelle.

D’Alessio wrote in a Feb. 20 letter to investors that two projects on East 62nd Street

Michael D’Alessio

“no longer make economic sense.” He said the mortgage lender had given notice of its intention to foreclose and he intended to accept an offer.

A week later, he described “our current financial crisis,” in an email report to investors.

The Manhattan market

for high-end condominiums was hot seven years ago, he said, and his first project, on East 63rd Street, sold out in less than a year and at prices above projections.

He acquired two properties on East 81st and East 82nd streets. They took longer to finish and sell but also were successful, he said.

Eager to expand, he bought five more properties.

He projected 18 to 24 months to build and sell them, but by then, he wrote, he was facing the “strictest regulatory administration in New York City history” and building inspectors were issuing “stop-work orders for every little thing.”

Work dragged on and the condos went way over budget and ran out of money. He said he personally borrowed $11 million to keep the projects going.

“I was completely leveraged,” D’Alessio said. His only option was to “stop paying the preferred returns and

use the money to complete the projects and continue to make mortgage payments so that we were not in default.”

When the investors sued, he said, a newspaper article about the case was sent to his banks and investors.

“The immediate response from my banks was to shut down my lines of credit and to stop the funding on my construction loans. This caused me to completely shut down my operation and lay off all of my staff, and essentially put me out of business, which in turn destroyed any option of preserving the investors’ capital.”

D’Alessio said he had decided to turn over the keys and deeds to the banks, to avoid the costs of foreclosure.

“Although many of the factors that led me to this point may have been beyond my control,” he wrote, “I still hold tremendous regret understanding how these projects have affected all of my investors.”

Stamford Health Assessment Centers take on the ‘silver tsunami’

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

T

he so-called “silver tsunami” of aging baby boomers is continuing to gain strength — and Stamford Hospital is positioning itself as one of the county’s top resources to address the issue.

“There is a real and growing need for more geriatric care, and we want to be on the front lines,” said Dr. Allison Ostroff, director of geriatric care at the Stamford Health Assessment Centers.

Although she did not have specific figures at hand, Ostroff said that the centers — at 292 Long Ridge Road in Stamford and at 75 Holly Hill Lane in Greenwich — have

already seen a 33 percent increase in new consultations this year over the first three months of 2017, a trend she fully expects to continue throughout this year.

A recent expansion of the Greenwich facility, which more than doubled its space from 14,000 to 33,000 square feet, also reflects the growing need for geriatric care in the community, if not the country. The U.S. Census Bureau projects that the nation’s population will grow from the current 325.7 million to 400 million in 2050; by 2030, more than 20 percent of U.S. residents are projected to be 65 and older, compared with 13 percent in 2010 and 9.8 percent in 1970.

Ostroff, who joined Stamford Health as a geria-

trician in 2010, helped create the assessment centers three years ago with Dr. Noel Robin, Stamford Hospital’s emeritus chairman of its department of medicine. She said that an initial visit to the center usually involves a 90-minute consultation by a nurse practitioner and Ostroff. The interview consists not only of reviewing medical problems and current dosages, but also frailty and depression assessments and questions about how safe the patient’s house is for his or her current needs.

“We wrap up with recommendations, which sometimes can include diagnoses,” Ostroff said, adding that depending on the case a follow-up can take place once, twice or even four times a year.

Conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and dementia are leading concerns of elder patients and their families, she said.

According to Alzheimer’s Disease International, someone in the world develops dementia every three seconds; the total number of people suffering from the disease is projected to almost double every 20 years, reaching 75 million in 2030 and 131.5 million in 2050.

“The most common question is, ‘What can I do on the proactive side?’ Exercise is the only proven behavior modification that can improve, not just slow down the process of memory loss,” Ostroff said.

“We recommend aerobic exercise lasting 30 minutes, five days a week.”

Stamford also recommends brain exercises like taking up crossword puzzles, Sudoku, learning a foreign language, or something similar that a given patient has not regularly done before.

“We also encourage

them to be as social as possible,” Ostroff said. “A lot of them have had a spouse or several of their friends pass on, and they can become isolated. We push them to get out, go to a senior center, interact with people who aren’t just family members.”

The efficacy of such activities remains frustratingly unproven, she said, “But doing these things certainly doesn’t hurt. Some of the newer data show that it’s really important to learn and to do something new.”

Another possible treatment involves coconut oil, which some studies have suggested could provide an alternative energy source for brain cells. Turmeric — which contains a natural chemical compound called curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties — has successfully been used in treating some arthritis patients, and Ostroff said it could help relieve some of the inflammation of the brain in dementia patients as well.

Meanwhile, Stamford’s assessment centers are actively working to relieve primary care physicians of trying to match aging patients with the right facilities.

“We have a lot of connections in Greenwich, Stamford and Fairfield County in general,” Ostroff said. “We work with most of the assisted living and senior centers, which can really be time-consuming for primary care physicians.”

She expressed frustration with the general lack of residents and medical students entering the geriatric field. “I heard that there’s a county in Iowa that has one doctor for every 17,000 patients,” she said. “It’s a really unfortunate situation. We need to ramp up interest in working in this area.”

Regrettably, she added, “Geriatricians often have the highest job satisfaction but the lowest income. But there’s not one geriatrician that I’ve met who didn’t feel that what they’re doing really makes a difference.”

Latest lawsuit filed in twisty Greenburgh senior living zoning case

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

he tortuous process of getting approvals for an assisted living home in Greenburgh is mirrored by the twisty-turning road at the center of a 3-year dispute.

Two civic groups and 13 residents have sued the town board and FormationShelbourne Senior Living Services, the developer, to reverse the board’s recent approval of a special-use permit for Solana Greenburgh Senior Living.

It was the fifth lawsuit filed in the dispute, including two by Shelbourne and three by opponents of the project.

Shelbourne has proposed building a 4-story, 70,0784-square-foot facility with 80 apartments at the former Sprainbrook Nursery.

Even the name of the street, 448 Underhill Road, hints at the topographical challenges at issue.

Underhill is a steep, winding, two-lane road with multiple hairpin turns in a residential neighborhood.

The developers, based in Radnor, Pennsylvania, have built and operated 180 senior living homes in the U.S. and Canada.

Shelbourne needs a special-use permit to build this one.

In 2013, Greenburgh amended its zoning laws for assisted living facilities in resi-

dential districts.

The zoning seeks to “limit additional or excessive traffic within established residential neighborhoods,” the town board stated in its findings, “while insuring safe emergency and other vehicular and pedestrian access.”

Assisted living facilities must be built on at least 4 acres. They have to be within 200 feet of a state or county road, not including parkways or interstates, and by direct access and not by a circuitous route.

The town produced a map that showed all properties that satisfied the criteria. The former Sprainbrook Nursery site did not make the cut.

The closest state road is Route 100, Central Park Avenue, 4,500 feet away as the crow flies

and more than 6,000 feet by car.

The property, at 3.8 acres, falls short of the minimum size.

In 2015, Shelbourne filed for a special-use permit and zoning variances. The builder sought relief from the 200 feet and the minimum acreage requirements, according to the new lawsuit, but not from the direct, noncircuitous route criteria.

Ever since, the developer and opponents have been fighting over interpretations of the zoning laws.

The town board and the zoning board have held numerous public hearings. They have voted on positions and reversed themselves.

Shelbourne has sued twice to challenge unfavorable interpretations.

Civic groups and residential property owners near the site have sued twice, including the latest petition, to nullify government rulings.

Last year the Greenville Fire District sued Shelbourne and the zoning board to nullify a zoning variance.

The fire department said it does not object to new assisted living facilities, but this project has not been sufficiently studied.

The Solana home would add 100 to 115 emergency calls a year, the fire department said. Fixed-axle fire trucks would have difficulty negotiating the “S” curves on Underhill Road.

The fire department’s life-saving services “will be uniquely affected on account of the proposed assisted living facility,” the petition said.

Acting Justice Susan Cacace dismissed the case because it had been filed after the 30-day statute of limitations.

She dismissed a similar lawsuit filed by the Council of Greenburgh Civic Associations, Edgemont Community Council and neighbors. In that case, she found that the opponents had not exhausted all administrative remedies, while the town board was still considering a special-permit application.

On Feb. 28, the town board granted the permit and adopted a resolution stating that Shelbourne had satisfied the requirements for a direct and noncircuitous route.

The civic groups and neighbors refiled a new lawsuit to reverse the board’s decision.

The board failed to support its decision with evidence, they claim, and not a single witness was willing to testify at public hearings that Underhill Road is a direct and noncircuitous route to Central Avenue.

The board had failed the “eyeball test,” the petition states.

“Any rational person who simply looks at an overhead view of Underhill Road would concede it is circuitous.”

I FEEL SO POWERLESS. WE HAVE TO WATCH HER EVERY MINUTE. FAMILY AND FRIENDS STOPPED COMING AROUND. HE KEEPS SAYING: “THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.” IT’S DESTROYING OUR FAMILY. I FEEL SO GUILTY WE HAVE TO MOVE HER INTO A HOME. IT’S SO HARD TO CARE FOR SOMEONE WHO’S MEAN TO YOU. HE HIDES THINGS ALL THE TIME. I’M GRIEVING THE LOSS OF SOMEONE WHO’S STILL ALIVE. WE DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START.

LIVING WITH FTD IS HARD. LIVING WITHOUT HELP IS HARDER. THERE’S COMFORT IN FINDING OTHERS WHO UNDERSTAND. WE FINALLY FOUND A DOCTOR WHO GETS IT. I GOT SO MUCH ADVICE FROM OTHER CAREGIVERS. UNDERSTANDING MORE HELPS ME DEAL WITH HER SYMPTOMS. SEEING THAT OTHERS MADE IT THROUGH, I KNEW I COULD TOO. WE HONOR HIM BY ADVOCATING FOR A CURE. NOW I’M BETTER AT ASKING FOR HELP. NO MATTER HOW BAD IT GETS, WE KNOW WE’RE NOT ALONE. It can feel so isolating and confusing from the start: Just getting a diagnosis of FTD takes 3.6 years on average. But no family facing FTD should ever have to face it alone, and with your help, we’re working to make sure that no one does.

Dialing back reliance on antipsychotics in nursing homes

Feb. 5 study published by the Human Rights Watch stated that about 179,000 nursing home residents nationwide are being given antipsychotic drugs when they don’t have the mental illnesses for which the drugs were approved. Related news headlines included the words “misuse” and “overprescribed,” suggesting a widespread abuse of these medications when given to elderly individuals who have Alzheimer’s or related dementias.

The fact is we have made tremendous strides in reducing the use of antipsychotic drugs in nursing homes across America. Nationally, the percentage of long-term residents receiving these drugs dropped from 24 percent in 2011 to under 16 percent in 2017, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Imagine if such success were achieved with respect to the opioid crisis! We would be celebrating indeed.

As reflected in the study, antipsychotic drugs are sometimes used to address the most severe and distressing symptoms of Alzheimer’s and related dementias: aggression, verbal abuse, hallucinations, paranoia, delusions and physical harm to self and others — the very behaviors that drive families to place their loved ones in nursing homes because they are unable to handle them at home. The reality is that nursing home staff attempts to manage these distressing symptoms by employing nondrug interventions.

But sometimes it’s just not enough. Doctors may try antipsychotic medications as a last resort.

INDIVIDUALIZED CARE

As health care providers, we can and should continue to try and reduce the use of these drugs. We must also acknowledge that there are

individuals who suffer from extreme symptoms of dementia who, in fact, benefit from their use. The challenge is to employ a holistic, patient-centered approach, including both nondrug measures and a continuous cycle of observation. And if antipsychotics are used, providers should, after the resident has stabilized, attempt to withdraw or reduce to the minimum dose necessary to help manage the symptoms of the disease.

With this approach, the staff at United Hebrew of New Rochelle minimized the use of these drugs long before CMS pressured nursing homes to do so. For years, the percentage of residents receiving antipsychotic drugs in our skilled nursing facility has been significantly lower than state and national averages; over the past 12 months, the percentage was 9.8 percent, as compared with 12.8 percent in New York state and 15.7 percent nationwide. Our approach includes: • Training: Our staff is trained to recognize that dementia-related symptoms may be an expression of an unmet want or need; yelling, hitting, or other aggressive behaviors may mean the resident is hot or cold, hungry, or frightened. Staff members learn what makes their residents tick, and understand that they must address the root causes of distressed behaviors with skill, compassion and resourcefulness.

• Care plans: Each resident undergoes a comprehensive care planning process in which the family meets with our interdisciplinary care team and if possible, the resident. We look at the resident’s personality, history, environment, and other triggers of the distressed behaviors.

Then we establish an individualized care plan that aims to minimize these behaviors.

That’s followed by a reassess-

ment at least four times per year. When drugs must be employed, we scrutinize their use in subsequent meetings, with an eye toward reducing or discontinuing them as soon as is safely possible.

• Therapeutic activities: We also provide a rich array of activities designed to engage residents, establish routines, and make connections to the world around them. They include music therapy, pet therapy and the use of robotic pets, art classes, dance and movement therapy, crafting, entertainment and more.

These activities give our residents the chance to engage in positive behaviors and connect to others physically and emotionally. They move more.

They smile more. Families who are invited to participate are delighted to have a way to connect with their loved one. Recently, after seeing her mother’s response to music therapy, the grown daughter of one of our residents said how grateful she was “to have my mom back.” It’s all part of our approach to ensure our residents find purpose and joy in their daily lives.

With Westchester’s rapidly aging population and the number of individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and other dementias on the rise, our senior care providers will have to find ways to thoughtfully treat symptoms of the disease — both at home and in senior care facilities — in the coming years. It will take a focus on individual care and behavioral health, adequate staffing, intensive staff training, and leadership. In doing so, we ensure a better and safer environment for elderly individuals with dementia, and those who care for them.

Westport naturopath calls for patient empowerment in eldercare treatment

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

W

hen Dr. Paul Epstein holds seminars on health care for seniors, he engages his audience with a call and response segment that always produces the same results.

“I ask, ‘How many people go to the doctor?’ and everyone raises their hand,” said the Westport-based naturopathic physician. “I then ask, ‘How many people take medicine?’ and everybody raises their hand. And then I ask, ‘How many are getting better?’ No one raises their hand.”

Epstein is a frequent keynote speaker and lecturer on mind-body integrative medicine, and he has witnessed a greater acceptance of this

approach to health and wellness among his peers in the medical field. “Thirty years ago, this was considered flaky and woo-woo,” he said. “Now, it is seen as science.”

Still, Epstein is concerned that this approach is often lacking in today’s eldercare.

He warned that too many physicians are missing a major point by focusing on the seniors’ illness and not the people seeking aid.

“Someone needs to be listening to them,” Epstein said, referring to elderly patients who often feel they are not being respected by their primary care physicians. “Doctors say, ‘Here take an anti-inflammatory for arthritis.’ But they don’t know or understand or have time or inclination to get to know the patient and really care about the whole person,

not just the diagnosis.”

As a result of this, Epstein said, seniors find their lives becoming a pattern of going from one doctor to the next.

He acknowledged that some seniors complain that they are not being taken seriously by their medical professionals, who give the impression that the patients are chronic complainers.

Epstein has been conducting eldercare seminars at the Westport Center for Senior Activities for the last 15 years. He has a new six-week program scheduled to begin on May 17. In his presentations, he emphasizes the role that seniors can assume in orchestrating their own wellness rather than becoming dependent on providers for all of their needs.

“I am giving seniors the

tools to face the challenges and difficulties of seniordom with a can-do attitude,” he said. “As we get older, the most powerful medicine we have is ourselves. I present classes that have such titles as ‘Face the Music and Dance’ and ‘How to Oy Without the Vey.’” Epstein’s presentations concentrate on the destructive role that stress plays in seniors’ health, with issues ranging from the death of a loved one to the problems in downsizing and moving from a longtime home at a late age to coping with the increased negativity levels in today’s news. Epstein faulted eldercare professionals that do not consider the effects of severe stress on seniors’ health and wellness. “They are not addressing the underlying causes

Dr. Paul Epstein

on why we get ill,” he said.

Epstein also warned that many seniors are either actively discouraged from being in charge of their care or they are surrendering to

ENHANCE YOUR BRAND AND BOOST MORALE

the uncertainties that accompany the aging process. “As we get older, we get more scared and want someone to take care of us,” he said, pointing out that some eldercare organizations give the impression of existing in order “to give you a stairway to heaven through these facilities.”

For Epstein, successful eldercare can be achieved by empowering seniors through positive attitudinal strategies and giving them an equal partnership in determining their well-being.

“We need to offer another reality in providing people with hope and optimism,” he said. “That will have a real effect on health. People have feelings — and they are still alive in their eighties. We need to find ways to connect with them and engage them.”

Purchase College targets 2019 for senior living community start

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

A

s Thomas Schwarz ends his nearly 20-year run leading Purchase College in spring 2019, he will remain involved in one of his marquee projects: a senior living community on campus.

A press release from the school on March 16 announcing Schwarz’s retirement noted that the college president would stay involved in developing the retirement community beyond his term.

“He plans on devoting much of his last year to the creation of Broadview, a senior living community in development for the campus,” the statement read. “Following his retirement, President Schwarz will continue to be a member of the board that is directing the project.”

Schwarz has led the college for 17 years, one of the longest-serving presidents in the SUNY system. He was officially named the fifth president of Purchase in 2003, after arriving on campus as acting president in 2001.

The senior living community plan dates back to 2003. The college’s nonprofit, the Purchase College Advancement Corp., is leading the initiative in its final steps before construction, along with two private development partners. A website launched last fall advertises the project as Broadview, Senior Living at Purchase.

The first phase of construction, expected to start in 2019, will include 220 independent living apartments and villas for seniors ages 62 and older. That includes 36 assisted living apartments and 36 memory care suites.

A bill to allow the school to lease the land for the senior living campus first circulated the state Legislature in the early 2000s. It passed both houses in 2008, only to be vetoed

by Gov. David Paterson, who wanted a more comprehensive approach to leasing SUNY land.

In 2011, a bill was signed into law by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo to allow the school to lease about 40 acres to its nonprofit Purchase College Advancement Corp.

The nonprofit came forward with finalized plans last fall. The Purchase College Advancement Corp. is partnering with the Iowabased Life Care Services, the nation’s third-largest manager of senior living communities, and Senior Care Development LLC, a developer of high-end senior communities based in Harrison.

The community could eventually have a total 385 units, 339 of which would be in an apartment-style building. The other 46 would be two-bedroom, single-story cottage style villas arranged as single-family and duplexstyle buildings.

The community would include 60,000 square feet of amenity space, including dining venues, a fitness center, pool, salon, library and movie theater. A landscaped area with walking paths, gardens and outdoor seating would connect the main independent living apartment building to the neighborhood.

The Broadview design also includes a 12,000-squarefoot “Learning Commons,” with classrooms, art studios, a performance space, culinary classrooms and a cafe.

As described in Broadview advertising literature, the

school views the commons a place “where residents and students can learn from each other or simply exchange views over a cup of coffee.”

The state legislation requires 20 percent of units be designated affordable to low- or moderate-income residents, and that 50 percent of those affordable units go to Westchester residents. It also designates that 75 percent of the project’s proceeds go to scholarships at Purchase College and 25 percent go to hiring full-time faculty.

The college, led by Schwarz, has long advocated for the project as a way to provide a desirable home for Westchester’s growing 65-and-older population while bringing in revenue to the college.

“Westchester has an aging population” Schwarz told the Business Journal in a 2011 feature. “To be able to be in a community on a college

campus with the Performing Arts Center and a museum is very desirable.”

While Purchase would be the first SUNY school to have a senior living community, retirement communities on college campuses can be found throughout the country. Cornell University, Notre Dame, the University of Florida, Stanford University and Duke University are among the schools that offer living spaces for retirees on campus.

On his page on the school’s website, Schwarz lists the community senior living center as a way the school “embraced entrepreneurship” under his leadership, along with the school’s Park 2 Fly service, which provides a parking and shuttle service for $14 a day for travelers to the nearby Westchester County Airport.

STEPS Home Care: We won’t rest until we find the “Right Fit”

W

e strategically recruit Caregivers with previous experience, excellent references, and specific skills (i.e. drivers, dementia, fall prevention, etc.). Then we pay them well above the industry average, and provide a comprehensive benefits package. This results in in a much more stable workforce.

Our focus on hiring the best Caregivers and treating them well, combined with our attention to finding the “Right Fit” results in longer lasting relationships.

The STEPS hiring philosophy is simple. We find Caregivers that have Passion, Experience, and Personality. Then we ask ourselves, “Are they the ‘Right Fit’”?

Passion Do they possess the same passion to help families that we do?

Experience Do they have 2+ years of previous experience? Do they have experience with specific illnesses?

Personality Do they have the personality and social skills to succeed within your household dynamic?

The Right Fit The STEPS Care Coordination team spends a great deal of time and effort evaluating your home care situation and personality requests, and then carefully selects a Caregiver(s) we think would be the “Right Fit”. For example, some people prefer someone who is talkative, while someone else might like someone a little quieter. Another

Our Caregiver provided by STEPS Home Care was well trained and immediately became a part of our family thanks to her warm, congenial personality. She had a ‘take charge’ attitude, which was a blessing to me. I never worried while our Aide was with my mother and I was at work. I knew she was safe and well cared for. The services provided by STEPS Home Care were perfect for my family’s needs.

example is that some people prefer someone who takes direction well, while others require someone more assertive.

If the match isn’t correct, we will find another Caregiver for you. We won’t rest until we find the “Right Fit”. And we will personally introduce any Caregiver that comes to your home.

Caregiver Orientation & Introduction The STEPS Care Coordination team will explain everything about the case to any new Caregiver. In addition, someone from STEPS will come to the home to introduce and orient all new Caregivers to the Plan of Care, the home environment, and the social dynamic.

This increases the likelihood of a comfortable transition. The introduction is very important in putting the Caregiver in a position to succeed. The first few days/weeks are crucial to the relationship’s long-term success. This is not a common practice, and we believe is indicative of The STEPS Difference.

THE STEPS DIFFERENCE We understand that caring for love ones can be challenging and stressful.

Our goal is simple. Provide you with peace of mind using three guiding principles: Family, Passion and Stability.

We utilize a multi-step approach to customize care for each unique situation and to insure we make the “Right Fit”.

The STEPS hiring philosophy is also simple. “Are they the Right Fit?” We find Caregivers that have Passion, Experience, and Personality.

You are not alone.

FAMILY STEPS is a family, female and locally owned company serving Westchester, Fairfield, and Nassau Counties and New York City. Our family is here to help yours.

PASSION We have passion and pride in everything we do, including hiring Caregivers with the same devotion. We started the agency to share our passion for caring for families.

STABILITY We strategically recruit Caregivers with previous experience, excellent references, and specific skills. The result is more stability, which is a key factor is creating the “Right Fit”.

H

aving just returned from our biggest scientific national conference of the year, the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, it seems to be perfect timing to report on the latest trends and updates in hip and knee replacement surgery.

Once again, the focus has been on advancement of surgical techniques with the continued evolution of surgical technology, improvements in pain control around the operative period and faster recoveries.

In hip replacement surgery, the trend continues to show that the anterior approach to hip replacement surgery, whereby the surgical incision and approach go between the muscles through the front of the hip, is much less invasive, provides a faster recovery, a shorter stay in the hospital and at times even a same-day procedure where

the patient goes directly home hours after the surgery.

In addition, those surgeons proficient in the anterior approach demonstrated a much lower rate of complications, specifically hip dislocation, an unfortunate problem when the new ball and socket joint “pops” out of place — a painful event requiring a return to the hospital. Since this approach disrupts significantly less muscle, the pain is less and the recovery is easier, requiring virtually no physical therapy other than walking. This is in stark contrast the “old” way of doing hip replacement surgery where the incision is in the back of the hip, more muscle is cut during the surgery, with higher rates of pain and longer time spent in the hospital, and quite often the necessity of a short stay in a rehabilitation center after surgery, instead of

westchester family care

Trends and updates in hip and knee replacement surgery going directly home.

Similarly, in knee replacement surgery, robotically assisted surgical technology has continued to evolve, now designed to help perform both partial and, more recently, full knee replacement surgery. The benefit of robotically assisted knee surgery is the potential for improved accuracy in placing the new knee components within the knee, in addition to more precise muscle and ligament balancing, i.e. helping the knee feel more like a patient’s normal knee.

One of the continued issues I see as a second opinion are patients whose knee replacements were done, but are still quite painful thereby leading to a poor result.

Previous studies have shown a 15 to 20 percent rate of dissatisfaction after knee replacement surgery, so NewYorkPresbyterian Lawrence

Hospital continues to study the factors that decrease that rate of dissatisfaction and lead to an improved outcome, including some broad-ranging, multicenter research studies about the benefits of robotically assisted and electronic sensor guided surgery which are routinely done at our center.

Quite a bit of work was also presented on reduction of complications after surgery, most importantly, infection. NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence had a large scientific exhibit about surgical site infection prevention with an exhaustive review of the literature and the most effective tactics for prevention. Much of the work was done at NewYork-Presbyterian Lawrence, where we have instituted very stringent protocols on timing and dosing of antibiotic usage, pre-operative skin cleansing and bacte-

If a patient is considering joint replacement surgery, finding out a surgeon’s infection rate is among the most important questions that a patient should ask prior to surgery. Unless a surgeon closely tracks their own cases on a monthly basis, they probably don’t know their real infection rate. In addition, there are few other surgical complications other than infection that can catastrophically ruin an otherwise successful joint replacement surgery.

BOEHRINGER, VANDERBILT IN NEW ANTICANCER COLLABORATION

Boehringer Ingelheim and Vanderbilt University are expanding their existing collaboration to develop novel anticancer

compounds.

The expanded research partnership will focus on the discovery and development of new chemical therapeutics targeting the pro-survival protein MCL1 as a potential therapy against MCL1dependent cancers.

This is the third collaboration between Ridgefield-based Boehringer Ingelheim and Vanderbilt to pursue discoveries made in the laboratory of Stephen W. Fesik at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine.

“MCL1 is one of the top 10 overexpressed genes in human cancer, where it plays a role as a survival factor,” said Lawrence J. Marnett,

Dean of Basic Sciences at Vanderbilt.

“It is a great target for therapy but candidate drugs need to disrupt high-affinity protein-protein interactions, which is very challenging,” Marnett said. “The Fesik laboratory has made impressive strides in developing such compounds and it is exciting to see them advanced toward clinical development through the partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim.”

MCL1, when overexpressed, can prevent cancer cells from undergoing programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis. This necessitates the discovery of a molecule that binds extremely tightly and selectively to MCL1 in order to sufficiently induce on-target, mechanism-based cancer cell death.

The agreement between Boehringer and Vanderbilt includes undisclosed upfront and milestone payments, with the ambition of delivering a new cancer drug to market as quickly as possible.

PACE HONORS ANTHONY ENEA

Westchester elder law attorney Anthony J. Enea was honored March 8 with the Distinguished Service Award at Pace University’s 23rd annual Law Leadership Awards Dinner. The event, held at the Westchester Country Club in Rye, raised funds to support Pace law students.

Enea has dedicated more than 30 years to educating and protecting the rights of seniors, the disabled and their families, according to a press release. A Pace Law alumnus, Enea was named Westchester County’s Leading Elder Care Attorney at the Above the Bar Awards and Best Lawyers’ 2018 Elder Law “Lawyer of the Year” in White Plains.

“We are thrilled to recognize and honor Anthony Enea with the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University Distinguished Service Award,” Dean David Yassky said. “Anthony is a prime example of what our students can accomplish with their Pace law degrees. He is a universally recognized leader in the fields of elder law and trusts and estates, having helped thousands of families to resolve challenging issues and achieve security. He is a respected pillar of the Westchester community and an involved alumnus.”

“It is truly an honor to be recognized by my alma mater, particularly for work that I find so personally rewarding,” Enea said. “The Leadership Awards Dinner is an important event, raising funds to help underwrite the Law School’s outstanding academic programs, faculty and students, and I feel privileged to be a part of it.”

Enea is president of the Westchester County Bar Foundation and a fellow of the

Aging in place on the sound

BY JANE K. DOVE If you have been fortunate enough to live in the Sound Shore communities of Larchmont and Mamaroneck for a long time, you probably never want to leave, even as you grow older.

And many senior residents of these two towns have elected to stay right where they are, aided by a vibrant and active organization called At Home on the Sound.

Founded eight years ago, At Home on the Sound has about 200 members and has taken the concept of “aging in place” to a new plane.

“We serve residents who have lived in their towns for 30, 40 or even 50 years and simply do not want to move,” said Elaine Weingarten, the nonprofit’s executive director. “And why should they?

The communities are lovely, with beautiful housing,

wonderful shopping, networks of friends and family and a convenient location in southern Westchester. The results are overwhelming.

People want to stay here.”

The At Home on the Sound concept is based on the successful model created by Beacon Hill Village in Boston. Gramatan Village in Bronxville, Staying Put in New Canaan and At Home in Greenwich are similar organizations active in Westchester and Fairfield.

“Since its inception, At Home on the Sound has been guided by The Center for Aging in Place,” Weingarten said of the countywide organization.

With these concepts in mind, she said, a group of residents formed a steering committee and created a board of directors in April of 2010.

“Since then our pro-

grams have really taken off. They have grown and evolved and now embrace seniors from age 60 up to 98. We even have a 91-yearold yoga instructor, and

The At Home on the Sound concept is based on the successful model created

by Beacon Hill Village in Boston.

At Home on the Sound board members John Bradley, Janet O’Connell, Leslie Molinoff, Simon Marlow, Ellie Fredston and Harmon McAllister.

our goal is to provide an active, mentally and physically healthy lifestyle for our members, with an array of events to keep them happily occupied and connecting with one another.”

Weingarten said the

members of At Home on the Sound are deeply rooted in their communities. “About half live in their original homes and the other half in apartments or condos. All live independently and are served by about 100 volun-

teers, all local people from the communities.”

Her group is proud of what it does and Weingarten provided ample details. “We now have 25 board members and they are entirely devoted to our cause.

Members of At Home on the Sound can pick and choose among a long list of interesting and motivating activities.

“Our list is comprehensive and designed to be engaging. If transportation is needed, members have to only contact the office and we will provide them with a ride both to and from. Events are held at different locations in the area,” she said.

The schedule is a full one.

“Twice a month we discuss current events at the Nautilus Diner. We have a special group that explores what it’s like to be 80-plus in today’s world and have major once-a-month trips to New York City and other locations. In January, we went to The Met (Museum),” Weingarten said.

At Home on the Sound at 545 Tompkins Ave. in Mamaroneck, holds monthly luncheons and other restaurant outings. All activities are during daylight hours. “We have a lovely, catered holiday party each year and it feels like one big family. So many of our members have been with us from the beginning and we tend to keep tabs on one another,” Weingarten said.

The group is always trying out new things as well as the old and familiar.

“Our basic, overall services include rides to medical, dental, shopping and other appointments, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. We have 100 volunteers to do this. Our service area includes nearby surrounding communities.”

Fortunately Dr. Andrew Casden, a top spine surgeon from New York City, had just joined the White Plains Hospital Center for Orthopedic & Spine Surgery. Dr. Casden and his partner Dr. Jared Brandoff performed a minimally invasive procedure that eliminated Vivian’s pain and got her back on her feet the same day.

O

ne of the most common misconceptions about end-of-life care is that the focus is solely on pain management. While that is a key component of any hospice care program, many providers, including Hospice of Westchester, recognize the importance of a holistic approach to treating the patient, not just their symptoms. It is a proven fact that patients diagnosed with a life-limiting illness greatly benefit from alternative therapies, in addition to medical treatment.

Often called complementary care, these therapies can maximize patients’ comfort and peace of mind and provide relief for their primary caregivers.

Caring for the “whole” patient is an essential feature of hospice. Mind-body complementary therapies such as

Guest view massage, reflexology, music therapy, art therapy and pet therapy can help ease tension, reduce anxiety levels and improve the overall comfort of the patient.

A good hospice provider should arrange for these therapies to be provided in the patient’s residence, whether that be their home, a hospital or a skilled nursing facility.

Together, the patient, their family and hospice team decide which therapy would best address symptoms of pain, stress and anxiety.

We are proud to offer all of the above therapies, at no cost to our patients, through The Anna & Louis H. Shereff Complementary Care Program. While they all can be useful depending on a patient’s needs, here is a closer look at how massage therapy and reflexology can positively benefit hospice patients and their families.

How complementary therapies can positively impact end-of-life care MASSAGE THERAPY

After the death of her husband in 2007, MacIlvane needed a change and wanted to pursue a career she was truly passionate about. She became a licensed massage therapist in 2010 and expanded her therapies to hospice patients three years ago.

MacIlvane said there are many benefits of massage therapy on patients diagnosed with a life-limiting illness, including helping with muscle tension, circulation and anxiety. She also works with patients’ family members to teach them what they can do in between sessions to help their loved one, and even gives them tips for acupressure that can help with their own anxiety and stress.

“When patients know that someone is with them, holding their hand and providing a compassionate touch, the effects are amazing,” MacIlvane said.

It is widely accepted that power of touch can have a healing impact on pain and decrease stress. Massage is a form of structured therapeutic touch, which can relax patients, relieve muscle tension, reduce anxiety levels and blood pressure, boost the immune system and moisturize the skin.

Licensed massage therapist Maria MacIlvane first recognized the positive effect of touch years before she started her massage career. When her mother was on hospice care, MacIlvane was awed that simply rubbing her mother’s shoulders would instantly bring upon relaxation.

“I continued to massage her every day. It was so beneficial and I could not believe that just touching someone compassionately could affect the process they were going through so deeply,” MacIlvane said.

REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is based on the belief that specific areas of the feet and hands correspond with specific parts of the body. Gentle stimulation of these areas with the thumbs and fingers relieves stress and tension, improves circulation, promotes normal body function and results in a feeling of deep relaxation.

Gabrielle Zale, a nationally certified reflexologist, began working with hospice patients shortly after starting her career 17 years ago.

However, her knowledge of how touch could help those with an illness started many years earlier. She remembered how people pulled away from her own mother when she was sick, as if they were afraid to touch her.

“No one should feel that alone,” Zale said. “Ultimately, touch is the greatest healer, particularly at this final jour-

ney in life. Even though some patients may not be awake and alert, by touching them in this way you are acknowledging that they are still there and still part of the world.”

Zale said that, even if a patient can’t speak, she is able to sense small body changes that show the effects of her practice. “It’s a subtle energy shift. Their breathing slows down — you can tell they are relaxing and may be feeling less pain and anxiety. They can tell that you are acknowledging them and are really present with them,” she said.

“This work is a really sacred thing for me. I’m not just holding another person in my hands, I’m holding their soul in many ways.”

Mary K. Spengler is CEO of Hospice of Westchester.

WESTMORELAND RECEIVES $20K GRANT

Alexandra Paul, age 14, who is in the eighth grade at Fox Lane Middle School, is among those learning about the environment at Westmoreland’s Conservation Camp.

Letters for the new sign were hoisted into position using a bucket truck. The new sign makes the building’s identify unmistakable. The building at Martine and Mamaroneck in White Plains.

SIGN OF THE TIMES ArtsWestchester marked its 20th year in its building at the corner of Martine and Mamaroneck avenues in downtown White Plains by unveiling new sign installations. The nonprofit acquired the former bank building in 1998.

What had been home to the Peoples National Bank & Trust Company has been transformed into a cultural hub featuring gallery and events space as well as studios and offices for artists and creative businesses. Additional façade improvements are planned for the nine-story building.

The signature sign was installed by Signarama Hartsdale.

“Since we acquired the building, we have worked on restoring and creatively adapting the use of the cultural treasure into an arts incubator and multi-use arts center, while preserving the landmark building,” said Janet Langsam, ArtsWestchester’s CEO. “We have transformed one of the first ‘skyscrapers’ in White Plains into a cultural destination humming with creative energy, artists and arts programs for the greater Westchester market area.”

Westmoreland Sanctuary Nature Center & Wildlife Preserve in Mount Kisco has received a $20,000 grant from Con Edison to support its Earth science and civic conservation education programs.

The funds will enable Westmoreland to hire an experienced science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) educator. Westmoreland staff, interns and other organizations will receive updated teacher training.

The STEM educator will use workshops, exercises and fieldwork to help ensure that innovative and effective techniques are used in advancing the curriculum.

Ann Paul, executive director of Westmoreland Sanctuary, said, “Whether it’s work done in the classroom to work done in the field, we remain dedicated to educating the community to better understand, embrace, protect and restore our natural habitat.” She said that once the initial STEM project is completed a year from now, the principles would become embedded in Westmoreland Sanctuary’s efforts.

LAUGH FOR LIFE EVENT SET

The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation in Norwalk will host its 16th annual MMRF Laugh for Life: New York fundraiser on May 1 at the event space 583 Park Ave. in New York City.

Comedian Mike Birbiglia will perform. He has directed and appeared in films and has had a recurring role in the television series “Orange is the New Black.” He has recorded comedy albums and starred in a comedy special for Netflix.

Actor and comedian Brad Zimmerman will be the evening’s master of ceremonies. The foundation will honor multiple myeloma patient and longtime ambassador Bill McHugh with the Carol Goldschein Spirit of Hope Award presented

by Celgene.

“The MMRF is my spirit of hope. When I was diagnosed in 2008, treatment options were limited. Over the last decade, however, the MMRF has helped to bring new treatments to market and helped to determine the right drug at the right time for every patient,” McHugh said.

More information at themmrf.org/laugh or 888-396-8235.

UNITED WAY HITS $1.26M GOAL FOR CHILD PROGRAM The Greenwich United Way has reached the fundraising goal for its Early Childhood Achievement Gap Solutions program. United Way CEO David Rabin told the Business Journal that $1.26 million has been raised, which will fund the program for three years.

Fundraising began in September 2016 and the goal was reached a few weeks ago.

The program was created to help close the educational achievement gap in Greenwich. It was launched in collaboration with Family Centers, YMCA of Greenwich, Greenwich Public Schools and others.

Rabin said, “No one agency can solve the achievement gap issue. The Greenwich United Way, as it has been doing for 85 years, is uniquely positioned to do the research, raise the funds and bring together the most qualified parties to address a need and develop a lasting solution. We are fortunate to be able to … bring this proven, data-driven solution to our town in an effort to allow at-risk children to enter kindergarten on a level playing field with their not-at-risk peers.”

MULTIFAITH INITIATIVE AT SHU There are three new part-time chaplains at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield. Imam Gazmend Aga, Rabbi Marcelo Kormis and Mark Block, have joined the Campus Ministry team as part of the “Open Heart, Many Faiths” initiative.

The initiative began as a means of opening channels among faiths, encouraging open dialogue and communication on campus and providing an open door for students who have questions about religion and spirituality.

During a recent meet-and-greet session with the three chaplains in University Commons, Larry Carroll, executive director of pastoral services and planning, described the new chaplains as individuals with “great faith, great spirit and fun.”

Aga is the imam of the Albanian-American Community in Waterbury. Kormis is from Congregation Beth El in Fairfield. Block is executive director of Congregation Rodeph Sholom in Bridgeport.

They will appear on a regular podcast with a title based on the opening line of many jokes: “An Imam, a Priest and a Rabbi Walk into a Bar.” They’ll be discussing the issues associated with being a religious person in the 21st century. The show will be recorded at Red’s, Sacred Heart’s on-campus pub.

WEBSTER NAMED A HEALTHY WORKPLACE

LOBSTERCRAFT DROPS ANCHOR LobsterCraft, which has two full-service lobster-roll trucks offering seafood-on-wheels in Connecticut, New York and parts of Rhode Island, now has an outlet on a firm foundation at 1891 Post Road in Fairfield. A ribbon cutting marked the opening of the new location and also served as an opportunity for the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce to welcome LobsterCraft as a new member.

LobsterCraft was founded in 2012 by Capt. Mike Harden. He’s not only a licensed lobster fisherman, but a Coast Guard captain as well. In 2006, Harden bought his 38-foot lobster boat, the Jennifer Lynn. The boat was handmade in Maine and, we’re told, has no trouble with the varied weather and sea conditions encountered on the Long Island Sound.

Harden’s passion for the sound and ocean evolved into a business after friends asked if he could catch, cook and prepare lobster for them.

After the ribbon cutting he said, “We are so happy to have found a place in the shoreline community of Fairfield, to serve our fresh-caught lobster, lobster rolls and other seafood items to local residents and those living in surrounding towns. I am overwhelmed at the response and welcome I have received, and everyone has been so helpful.”

Waterbury-based Webster Bank has once again received a Gold Level Healthy Workplace Award from the Business Council of Fairfield County. The bank was one of 44 companies honored during an awards ceremony held in Stamford. Webster was cited for its employee wellness programs that include on-site events, health savings account deposits for participation in various preventive care activities, and automated progress trackers.

Tanya Court, the council’s director of public policy and programs, noted that this is Webster’s third Gold Level Healthy Workplace Award. It received them in 2015 and 2017 for outstanding achievement in implementing employee wellness programs.

This was the 10th year the business council has recognized Fairfield County employers for having healthy workplaces.

Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.

HAPPENING

FCCF DONATES $25K TO HORIZONS AT SHU

From left: Community & Economic Development Director Mark Barnhart; Kristina Ivezaj, a salon stylist; First Selectman Mike Tetreau; Imogene Wilson; and Beverly Balaz, president, Fairfield Chamber of Commerce.

Horizons at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield has received a grant of $25,000 from Fairfield County’s Community Foundation to support development of its year-round STEM (science, technology, English and math) and reading curriculums.

Horizons at SHU also helps underprivileged children from Bridgeport overcome the phenomenon known as summer learning loss. Because there usually are fewer organized opportunities for learning and intellectual stimulation over the summer, children can backslide and return to school in the fall at a lower achievement level than they had when school ended for summer vacation. With a 4-to-1 student-teacher ratio, Horizons keeps learning processes active over the summer while also providing opportunities for regular physical activity such as swimming.

Tom Forget, faculty liaison for the Horizons at SHU program, said, “This support enables Horizons at SHU to continue to serve more than 150 youngsters with opportunities to develop their reading and math skills, their social and emotional intelligence and their confidence.”

ALCHEMY IN FAIRFIELD While alchemists claim to be able to turn base metals into gold, Alchemy, The Salon is promising to offer customers a beauty experience in Fairfield, which can be described as golden.

A ribbon cutting March 16 marked its opening at 1851 Post Road.

First Selectman Mike Tetreau joined Fairfield’s Director of Community and Economic Development Mark Barnhart, Beverly Balaz, president of the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce and Alchemy’s owner Imogene Wilson along with her staff, family, friends and invited guests for the grand opening.

Barnhart said, “Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, creating jobs and economic opportunities, and we are fortunate to have entrepreneurs like Imogene willing to venture forth on their own.”

When first launched in 2016, Alchemy received support from Fairfield’s Department of Economic Development, which provided a $5,000 grant through the Micro-Enterprise Assistance Program that Wilson used to purchase equipment and cover tenant fit-up and marketing costs.

Wilson said, “I’m so grateful for all of my experiences that led me here. I never thought I wanted to own a full-service salon, but now I couldn’t picture my life any differently.”

SAVOCA JOINS BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY

MANAGEMENT ADDITIONS AT WAVENY

Josephine Simko, office leader of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties in Ridgefield, has announced that Tom Savoca has joined the firm. He is a Ridgefield resident.

“Although a new licensee, Tom is a seasoned real estate executive with over 30 years of experience from both the corporate side on a national level and the landlord side regionally, which will serve him well,” said Simko.

Savoca said that he decided to join Berkshire Hathaway because of its “national reach and extensive agent network.” He indicated that his previous experience in facets of real estate, which did not require a license will be useful in bringing parties together.

Waveny LifeCare Network, based in New Canaan, has added three members to its management team: Michelle Ernst, director of development; Eleanor Ryan, director of resident care at The Village; and Stella Clarke, director of volunteers.

Ernst previously was with the New Canaan Community Foundation and the New Canaan Nature Center. In her new role, she will be directly involved with Waveny’s development operations and annual fundraising efforts.

Clarke is a native of England who has also lived in Singapore. She moved to the United States in 2005 and became a U.S. citizen in 2016. Clarke served as mission director for Noroton Presbyterian Church of Darien.

Ryan served as a case manager at Greenwich Hospital. Previously, she held management positions with Constellation Home Care, Atria and Stamford Hospital where she co-founded and cochaired the Stamford Community Care Team.

Waveny is a nonprofit that offers independent living at The Inn, assisted living and short-term respite care for people with memory impairment at The Village and other services, including home health care.
