Schumer calls for federal probe of area power outages

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

F

ollowing a series of nor’easters that slammed the region in recent weeks and left thousands of homes in the dark, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer called on the Federal Ener�y Regulatory Commission (FERC) to launch an investigation into the widespread and long-lasting power outages.

“Westchester County residents are fed up. They’re done.

They’re at the breaking point, and I’m standing here with them,” Schumer said at a press conference in White Plains on April 4. “We are going to force our utilities to change.”

FERC is an independent agency within the Department of Ener�y that regulates the interstate transmission of electricity, natural gas and oil.

“We shouldn’t have had to do this, but we’re at the point now where the experts at FERC have to come in, independently assess the situation, give us solutions and then work with us to require that our utilities implement them,” Schumer said, adding that “FERC is going to have to step up to the plate.”

Schumer said FERC’s investigation into local utilities, including Con Edison, is necessary to uncover facts, assist in identifying problems and » POWER OUTAGES

White Plains OKs The Collection project on Westchester Avenue

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

T

he White Plains Common Council has approved The Collection, an estimated $120 million project that will add shops and apartments along Westchester Avenue across from The Westchester mall.

The project will add about 25,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space along with 276 apartments spread between Westchester Avenue and Franklin Avenue.

The Common Council voted on April 2 in favor of environmental findings and site plan approvals for the development.

White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach praised the project as a way to connect the city’s residential Franklin neighborhood to its Westchester Avenue

“This is what adds value to homes in a downtown now, people want to walk to things,” Roach said. “And I always thought it was an irony that in this neighborhood, which is in the middle of everything, it wasn’t as easy as it should be.”

Modera Hudson Riverfront apartments in Yonkers begins leasing

odera Hudson Riverfront, a six-story, 324unit rental complex on the Hudson River waterfront in Yonkers, is now leasing apartments.

Developed by Mill Creek Residential Trust LLC, the 572,500-square-foot residential community at 20 Water Grant St. includes a mix of studio and one- and two-bedroom apartment rentals.

According to the company’s website, studio apartments start at $1,920 to rent per month, while one bedrooms begin at $2,098 and two-bedrooms start at $2,814.

The apartment building welcomed its first tenants earlier this year and today, 23 apartments are occupied by residents. Another round of residents are slated to move in April 10, a Mill Creek spokesperson said. The complex is still under construction and should be completed later this summer.

Officials believe the transit-oriented complex, which is just blocks from the Yonkers Metro-North station, will attract both young professionals and empty nesters from throughout Westchester County, as well as those from New York City.

“Yonkers continues to prove to be a highly desirable locale that offers the accessibility, dynamism and affordability to compete with many of New York City’s great neighborhoods,” said Russell Tepper, senior managing director of Mill Creek’s Northeast division. “With the launch of Modera Hudson Riverfront, Mill Creek is addressing the demand for unique apartment living by developing a new upscale community that is continuing the revitalization of Yonkers’ waterfront.”

Formerly known as Palisades Point on the Hudson River, the property was previously slated for redevelopment as part of the city’s public-private partnership with master developer Struever Fidelco Cappelli LLC. In 2013, the Yonkers City Council approved amendments to SFC’s leases at Palisades Point to allow SFC’s only remaining partner in Yonkers, New Jersey-based Fidelco Realty Group, to proceed with development plans on the waterfront site.

leasehold interest from Fidelco and started construction on the 3.7-acre property in 2016.

The apartments feature woodplank-style f looring, soaking tubs, quartz countertops, stainless steel Ener�y Star appliances, custom 42-inch cabinets, 9-foot ceilings and walk-in closets. Views will also be a draw, the developer said, with some apartments overlooking the city, the Hudson River or a public park the company is in the process of developing along the waterfront.

The complex features a 15,000-square-foot amenity center that includes a hotel-style lobby, resident lounge, fitness center, private home offices, an indoor and outdoor sky lounge with a golf simulator and a sundeck. There are also interior landscaped courtyards, along with outdoor gaming tables and grills, fire pits and a pool.

“It is important that Yonkers continues to increase its walkability as we promote a live, work and play lifestyle in the city,” Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said. “Yonkers has a history of embracing ‘smart growth’ and

Family feuds in fight over Estate Motors bheltzel@westfairinc.com

O

Charles Buonanno

Stock was exchanged for a $6.66 million promissory note.

The expectation, according to Charles’ lawsuit, was that the assets would appreciate in value and he would avoid capital gains.

He said he expected that assets also would go to his wife “for her care and welfare.”

From 2010 to 2015, family relationships deteriorated.

Christopher said his father distrusted his daughter-inlaw, believing that she had married him for his money.

He said his father blamed him for a “lack of a relationship with his grandchildren.”

Christopher blames Nancy, his stepmother, of poisoning the relationship with his father. He claims she intercepted phone calls, accused him of being a spendthrift and asked him to take a paternity test to prove that he was Charles’ biological son.

Charles fired Christopher near the end of 2015.

By then, Estate Motors was under tremendous outside pressure. Mercedes-Benz USA was threatening to terminate the dealership agreement unless the facilities were expanded and modernized, and various plans to rebuild in Goldens Bridge or move to another location had fallen through or not progressed.

At one point, Christopher said in his lawsuit, Santander Bank cut off Estate’s line of credit and the company was unable to buy vehicles from Mercedes or deliver vehicles that had been ordered.

In Charles’ telling, his son had siphoned off millions of dollars of assets. Estate Motors had become financially troubled and he had to return to save the business.

He is accusing his former

n the surface, Estate Motors in Goldens Bridge was a successful car dealership. But beneath the surface, troubles were brewing in a family feud over a different kind of estate.

Father, son and stepmother were battling for control of the Mercedes-Benz dealership in an estate planning process.

On March 17, Estate Motors owner Charles Buonanno sued his former estate attorney, Michael J. Hausman, and accountant, John W. Noonan, for $24.5 million. He claims they schemed with his estranged son, Christopher, to loot the business.

Last year, Christopher sued his father, stepmother, Nancy Buonanno, and Estate Motors for $31.5 million, claiming they had schemed to snatch back assets in family trusts to enrich themselves.

The bickering also ensnared former employees.

A minority partner and a sales manager filed separate lawsuits in the past year-anda-half, saying they were unjustly fired as they were caught between warring factions.

Estate Motors was located in Mount Kisco when Charles Buonanno bought into the Mercedes dealership around 1967. The business was moved to a hillside on Route 22 in Goldens Bridge and Buonanno became sole owner in 1974.

Last year, he sold Estate for $21.5 million to New Jersey luxury car dealer Tom Maoli, who renamed it the Celebrity Motor Car Co. The dispute can be traced back to a better time, 2010, when Charles was preparing to retire and he turned over control of the company to Christopher.

Hausman and Noonan, according to Charles’ lawsuit, worked on his estate plans, including trusts that were established for the benefit of his son and two grandsons.

The objective was to freeze the value of Estate Motors and other assets by transferring them to trusts.

lawyer and accountant of structuring the trusts to favor Christopher and harm Nancy.

Hausman and Noonan have not yet filed answers to Charles’ allegations.

In Christopher’s telling, he had increased Estate’s value but his father and stepmother imperiled the company’s relationship with Mercedes-Benz.

He claims they contrived a default to undo the trusts and enrich themselves.

The bad blood touched employees, too.

In 2010, the good times, John N. Galanin, a 20-year-employee, was promoted to chief financial officer and given a stock bonus worth 5 percent of the company. But as conditions deteriorated, he said, his access to company information was cut off, he was demoted and finally, in September 2016, he was fired for cause.

The “cause,” Galanin said in his lawsuit, was trumped up charges of receiving unauthorized payments. He is suing Charles and Nancy for $1 million, based on a 5 percent interest in the company when it was sold.

Robert Cinelli rose to general sales manager in 2010 but was fired six months later in what he describes as retaliation for revealing unlawful activities.

He claims that a previous sales manager who had been twice convicted for grand larceny and fraud was selling unregistered cars to an exporter without proper paperwork. He said another manager was rolling back mileage on odometers on cars that had been returned at the end of leases.

He reported his concerns to Christopher and Charles, he said, and five weeks after his last report he was fired on a false accusation of sexual harassment.

He is suing for $38,000 in unpaid commissions.

Charles and Nancy Buonnano and Estate Motors denied Cinelli’s accusations and countersued him for $50,000, claiming fraud, unjust enrichment, negligence and breach of fiduciary duty.

Port Chester Planapalooza draws big ideas for village rezoning

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

“T

his is the way you start thinking about the future,” Brian Wright told a crowd of Port Chester residents on March 28. “You draw big ideas and you see what happens.”

Wright is founder and principal of Town Planning & Urban Design Collaborative, a Tennessee-based planning consultant hired by the village of Port Chester to lead an effort to modernize its zoning. He was speaking in front of a projection screen at the village’s Carver Center as the finale to a week of community planning and discussion events known as Planapalooza, a term Wright’s company trademarked.

He walked the crowd through what he said might be more of a “100-year plan” for the village than any immediate vision. The village is undertaking the first comprehensive overhaul of its zoning since 1975. As architectural

renderings of new looks for the village's waterfront and downtown flashed across the screen, Wright framed each as a way to dream about what the village could become.

“You put stuff in here that sometimes you think is impossible," Wright said. "Then the right person comes to town and says ‘Wow, look at this vision that they had in this area…

You know what, I’m actually going to buy this strip center here and I’m going to do this.’”

The village spent the week before the pre-

sentation hosting a series of discussions in open studio space at 17 N. Main St. Topics included affordable housing; transportation and parking, streetscape and open space and waterfront development.

The Planapalooza is part of a larger “Plan the Port” initiative from the village. Port Chester budgeted $650,000 last year to fund an update to its zoning. Port Chester officials want to shift to a form-based code, which focuses on regulating the physical forms of development in

an area rather than specific uses of properties.

Wright ran the gathering of about 100 at the Carver Center through the results of that early outreach. He said in modernizing the village’s code, the village can enhance areas and attract growth, while also ensuring the village maintains aspects it residents enjoy.

“We want to create more predictable outcomes,” said Wright. “We know that in development situations, so many times citizens are concerned about what’s going to happen, even before they know what the developments going to be. They assume they’re not going to like it. The reason is because they don’t know what to expect.”

Zoning is often to blame for that, he said.

The goal for the re-zoning would be to set more clear expectations for real estate projects in the village, which Wright said can help both developers and residents. The process would also study the capacity of the village’s infrastructure and streamline environmental reviews.

While many studies and reviews are yet to be done, Wright shared some of the early vision.

That vision includes connecting spaces along the Byram riverfront for pedestrians, and bringing parks and mixed-use development with retail and apartments to the village’s train station and downtown.

Wright showed a rendering of what he said is likely the most densely developed possibility for the train station, with 8- and 12-story apartment buildings surrounding a public park.

“We want you guys to at least see what that looks like,” Wright said of the rendering.

“Because in the end the discussion is, what is the right fit? How big is big enough?”

Planners envisioned the area of King Street near the Metro-North station as an “amazing arrival point, a new gateway from the train station” with outdoor dining, fruit stands and a better path to the train station. The street could be designed as a woonerf, a Dutch concept that emphasizes slowing traffic to open up streets to pedestrians and bicycles.

The team also presented a vision for Boston Post Road, an area Wright said had few fans among residents with whom he spoke.

He said the space is underutilized with mostly unfilled parking lots. His team showed a rough outline of what Wright called a “suburban retrofit,” which lays out new street connections, shops and residences designed for better connectivity and more civic spaces.

The village’s Fox Island, now a public works site, was envisioned as a small mixed-use community with public spaces, row houses and condominium units.

The visions that Town Planning & Urban Design Collaborative officials presented are just concepts to aid in planning and zoning, not actual plans for development. But Wright said the concepts do consider what a region already has and the property that is available.

The actual drafting process for the new zoning code will begin this summer. More public comment events will follow that.

The village's planning department hopes to have a plan for the zoning overhaul before the village Board of Trustees before the end of the year.

The Castle in Tarrytown rebrands its spa

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

P

art of a century-old landmark in Tarrytown is getting a facelift.

The Castle Hotel and Spa at 400 Benedict Ave. announced that the THANN Sanctuary Spa will be rebranded as the Sankara Spa. The rebranding will also involve renovations to the spa’s front entryway, along with upgrades to the walkway, women’s locker room, showers and the steam room.

The property’s owners, The Sankara Hospitality Group, said the new name will better reflect the company’s philosophy of providing a “luxurious and restorative environment” for guests.

“As always, we remain committed to bringing the highest possible quality spa experience to our guests,” said Mika Hori, director of operations at The Castle Hotel and Spa. “The rebranded Sankara Spa enhances the luxury our guests enjoy when visiting the Castle Hotel and Spa.” The Sankara Hospitality Group said the spa will be an extension of the Sankara Hotel and Spa brand, which operates another out-

The company also plans to focus on offering local products at the Westchester spa. As part of the rebranding, the spa will carry items from Naturopathica, a New York City-based line of natural wellness items.

“In the past, we shipped our products from overseas, but now we’re excited to be sourcing our products locally from New York,” Hori said. “Offering products from the local community is not only important to our busi-

ness, but to many of our customers as well, and it will also help with in-store inventory on our spa’s most popular products.”

The original castle, complete with a 75-foot tower, was built by businessman and playwright Gen. Howard Carroll at the turn of the 20th century. The Norman-style building, dubbed Carrollcliffe by the family, later served as the headquarters for an investment counseling firm before it was designated a historic landmark in 1981.

In the mid-1990s, The Castle was transformed into a luxury hotel, restaurant and event space. Further upgrades in the ensuTWB Westenberg ing decades included renovations and restoWCBJ rations, along with the addition of 24 gues7.375” w xspa.

ment in Dobbs Ferry, which includes a movie theater, apartments, restaurants and retail.

The White Plains project will follow a similar concept. As designed by the Virginia architect firm Antunovich Associates, the project would bring 25,218 square feet of retail and restaurant space to Westchester Avenue in the area between the White Plains Chrysler Jeep Dodge and the Westchester Burger Company buildings.

The Westchester Avenue portion will include 90 apartment units in three stories above the retail. On the back end of the property, on Franklin Avenue, an 11-story residential building will have 186 units.

Of the 276 apartments, 17 will be offered at rents affordable for people making 60 percent of area median income. The complex would include 25 studio, 160 one-bedroom and 91 two-bedroom units between the two residential buildings.

The project also adds 745 on-site parking spaces, including a parking garage on the first four stories of the apartment building on Franklin Avenue. A little more than a third of the spaces — 275 total — will be reserved for municipal uses.

ways on the site will connect Franklin and Westchester avenues. The project will also add a crosswalk on Westchester Avenue.

Once built, The Collection will replace a group of largely vacant single-story retail buildings on a 3-acre tract.

The city also approved the transfer of ownership of a 153-spot public parking lot on Franklin Avenue to the development team.

The Collection project will replace that parking and add to it with the 275 designated municipal spaces on site.

The project was first reviewed by the city in 2015, but has since been scaled down. The project’s footprint went from 4.4 to 3.14 acres. A spa and hotel were eliminated from the plans, along with an underground automobile showroom. The retail and restaurant space was also decreased from the original proposal of 91,000 square feet.

The larger project was at the city’s request at the time, which wanted the development team to incorporate the White Plains Chrysler Jeep Dodge property next door at 70 Westchester Ave. The larger project would have built a new showroom and service area for the dealership, but the two sides ultimately couldn’t reach a deal.

first presented to the city’s Common Council in May 2017.

Martin G. Berger, managing principal of Saber, told the city council that his group is excited to get going on a project he described as many years in the making.

“We’ve studied it quite well and we’re ready to get moving and start the development,” he said.

The project did receive two votes against out of the seven-member council, including the mayor.

Council member Milagros Lecouna described the project as too big for the site and said the developer should include more affordable units. The city’s code gives developers the options set aside either 6 percent of its units as

Roithmayr said that at one point, her family’s home was without power for two full weeks.

“You have to ask, what is wrong with our electricity companies,” Schumer said. “When you lose power once, that’s one thing, but when it happens over and over again, you say ‘Why aren’t you stepping up to the plate to correct it?’”

County Executive George Latimer, who was also present at the press conference, previously called for leadership at Con

Edison and NYSEG to resign following the long-term outages. Schumer, however, said that he hopes to allow FERC and its investigation to handle the situation.

“We’ll see what happens after that,” Schumer said.

“We’ll be watching the progress like a hawk.”

Schumer said FERC heeded his call to conduct a similar investigation in Orange County in 2011.

That probe was spurred by prolonged outages that followed an October nor’easter that thrashed the region.

Schumer said his office has spoken with utility companies in recent weeks, though they were provided with “unsatisfactory answers.”

Though no timeline for the investigation was given, Schumer said he would ensure that FERC’s investigation would be conducted in a timely manner.

“They need our office for budget, and the need us for appointees,” he said.

“Those are pretty good leverage points.”

Five ways to build trust (and your business)

“A

ll things being equal people will do business with, and refer business to, those people they know, like and trust.”

This quote from “The Go-Giver” by Bob Burg and John David Mann sums up my philosophy on how people choose and cultivate their business relationships — really, any relationship where there is freedom of choice.

Say someone takes a liking to you. That’s wonderful, but what would it take for that person to trust you and why would that matter?

Trust is at the heart of every

business transaction, client (and personal) relationship, donation to an organization and other activities involving others. So, how is it that so many people get it all wrong, jeopardizing their relationships, business dealings and prospects?

Here are five notorious ways that people fail to build trust and how to turn them around:

WEBSITE WOES

A website that isn’t updated, or worse, nonexistent, erodes trust. And no, that “Under Construction” sign doesn’t fool anyone into thinking a business is at work

developing a spot-on website. It says, in fact, the opposite, loudly and clearly: the business owner isn’t investing in his business on all fronts. That’s a no-no when it comes to building trust.

Ditto on only having social media accounts.

They’re a start, but should not substitute for a company website, which can house content that a business controls and has the rights to, versus variable channels that can change in an instant, potentially pushing trust levels to the fringes.

If a business can’t follow through on its digital presence, thereby demonstrating its commitment to and belief in itself and its customers through the investment, why should anyone else trust in or feel comfortable committing to the company, either?

HEADSHOT OR MUGSHOT?

Company owners that love LinkedIn like I do probably have perused a lot of headshots on the business-networking site. And, like me, executives that spot head shots that look more

like a selfie than a professionally staged photo, don’t take it as a good sign of the individual’s business standing — bad news for would-be associates and colleagues.

Again, if a person is not willing to invest in a high-quality photo, why should we invest in or trust him or her?

ALL OVER THE PLACE

Ever hear the phrase, “Jack of all trades, master of none?” While it’s great to be versatile, to build trust a company and its leader should demonstrate competency in one area and promote that. Businesses that aspire to be the expert in everything are not expert in anything and that’s not a good way to secure or maintain others’ trust.

NO EARNED MEDIA

Most people trust what they read in earned media more than messages that come from paid advertisements. Earning key audiences’ steady respect through communications that come from people with high credibility, including journal-

ists, makes observers more inclined to feel comfortable doing business with a company than they might be, otherwise. In a Nielsen global study from 2012, paid advertising exhibited a large gap in the “trust factor,” whereas “recommendations from people I know” scored with 92 percent of consumers as completely or somewhat trusting of the source.

WRONG WRITING

Much can be said about the need to write as if one’s livelihood depended on it. Whether it’s a proposal, appeal letter, blog post, website copy, social media post or a press release, writing with care can help a business stand out among today’s communications’ clutter. It also can help a company build its brand, forward its mission and catch the interest of potential clients. Many decision-makers have shuddered at posts written in all caps or with poor grammar. As well, long-winded, incorrectly written press releases often are deleted

on-the-spot by media pros that don’t have the time to rewrite a business’ or organization’s wrongs. What’s worse is that poor writing can corrode the level of trust a person or company has in the firm behind the ill-crafted message, potentially alienating new and existing business relationships. All communications should be proofed for content, accuracy and format before they’re issued. If a staff person does not have the correct skills to set the writing straight, a professional should be hired to do the work. There is trust — and more — at stake.

Yonkers launches disability registry for first responders public libraries and City Hall.

Disabilities to register may include physical and medical challenges; developmental challenges, mental illness and post-traumatic stress disorder; vision and hearing challenges; or other issues, including language barriers, residents who are hoarders or those who have service animals.

“Mayor Spano charged our board to identify and respond to concerns affecting Yonkers citizens with disabilities,” said Gene S. Minkow, the chair of the Disability Advisory Board. “We believe this new program helps us to fulfill that mission. First Responders Disability Registry is vital, and it just makes sense.”

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

T

he city of Yonkers will launch a new registry of residents who have a disability or special needs for use by the city’s first responders.

The city’s First Responders Disability Registry features specialized information to be accessed by Yonkers’ police and fire departments and emergency medical services personnel in the event of an emergency at the home of a person with special needs.

Mayor Mike Spano joined representatives from the city’s police and fire departments, along with members of the Disability Advisory Board, to announce the registry on March 28.

“Yonkers’ First Responders Disability Registry is our opportunity to better service a growing population in our city,” Spano said.

“I applaud our Disability Advisory Board for recommending a program that will provide added comfort and peace of mind during those precious moments during an emergency.”

The registry aims to eliminate or lessen emotional trauma, fear and conflict when first responders enter homes of those who have special needs.

Yonkers officials stressed that enrollment in the registry and sharing personal information with the city is strictly voluntary. All personal information will remain confidential and is protected according to federal regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. Information will only be used, the city said, to help residents in the event of an emergency.

The registry aims to eliminate or lessen emotional trauma, fear and conflict when first responders enter homes of those who have special needs.

Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano announces the launch of the registry with members of the Disability Advisory Board, along with Police Commissioner Charles Gardner and Fire Commissioner Robert Sweeney.

ASK ANDI

By Andi Gray

MARCH WITH US

Instill passion in your workers WE HAVE CONCERNS REGARDING OUR SALES AND SERVICE PEOPLE. WE NEED TO SEE MORE INTENSITY AND PASSION. HOW DO WE HELP THESE PEOPLE GET THERE? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: What is it that you’re trying to accomplish? Define your real objectives. Give people a mission worth caring about. Take time to prepare your message so that it’s well received. Practice being adaptable.

CREATE OPPORTUNITIES

When I hear business owners talking about needing more passion, it’s often leadership that they’re looking for — people who can both lead forward and boost momentum as they drive from behind.

Think about the sales/ service role. How much influence do the people in this role have? Can they make decisions within in the company and on behalf of customers? Can they take actions, but they’re not doing that? Or is the problem that they don’t have the authority to act when they see the need? Probably a mix of both. What can be done to open up decision-making and create more opportunities for action?

Keep in mind that while it may feel riskier to allow people to make decisions, no one is mistake-proof, owner included, and almost all mistakes can be corrected. Start small and build on successes.

DEFINE OBJECTIVES

Give people a context for their actions. What do you want as outcomes for the company and its people? Be clear about more than what’s expected. Lay out where that’s supposed to take the team. What’s over the next hill and the one beyond that?

It’s OK to expect a lot

from people. But to succeed long term you also have to give people a vision of what it is they’re working to accomplish — both so they can recognize it when they see it, and so they understand the motivation behind what’s being asked.

MAKE THE MISSION WORTHY

To boost engagement, explain why the company’s vision matters in terms that people can grab onto and care about. Will results put more food on peoples’ tables or a better roof over employees’ heads? Can the company’s mission provide better job security and more opportunity for advancement, both personal and professional?

Take time to listen to the people around you.

Understand their struggles.

Dig into their needs. Find ways to tie solving needs to the company mission. Look for clues about what people want that you can use to unlock individual and group passion and intensity.

LET YOUR MESSAGE RESONATE

While we are called upon throughout the day to quickly respond, it is worth taking the time to prepare for what’s to be said. Give your message a chance to come across well by allowing thoughts time to percolate. Think about the tone and attitude of the words you use, communicating with respect and compassion for everyone around you. Offer people a challenge, but do so in a way that inspires them to step forward by offering

We’re leading the fight for the health of all moms and babies.

Join us!

Andi Gray

S U N D A Y , A P R I L 2 9 , 2 0 1 8 encouragement and showing enthusiasm.

BE ADAPTABLE

If you are frustrated, slow down until you are in command of your emotions and able to show people the upside of your message. Give people opportunity to grab hold and show what they’re capable of producing, rather than blaming people for what has not yet come to pass. A positive attitude and belief in the potential of people will yield significantly greater results both short term and long, as compared to finding fault and accusing and impugning.

Practice adjusting your style of delivery to meet the needs of the situation. At times people need someone to rally them, to help them energize and focus. At other times your people may need someone to listen and brainstorm with. Look for cues. Are people acting with enough urgency to meet the needs of the current conditions? Are they clear about what needs to happen? Help fill in the gaps.

BRIEFLY MOUNT SAINT MARY COLLEGE NAMES NEW PRESIDENT

Mount Saint Mary College has named Jason N. Adsit as the next president of the college.

In a unanimous vote that followed a national search, the college’s board selected Adsit as its seventh full-time president. Adsit succeeds interim President David A. Kennett, who was appointed in August 2016.

Adsit will begin his new position on June 1.

“I look forward to working with the Mount’s talented students, faculty and staff, as well as its dedicated alumni, parents, and friends, to build upon its tradition of innovation and academic excellence” Adsit said.

Board Chair Charles Frank said the college was focused on finding a candidate that would make a long-

term commitment to the school. The search committee also looked for a leader that would bring dynamic change and leadership, while also recognizing the college’s roots.

“Dr. Adsit brings all of that and more, including a broad range of experiences from his work at both research and faith-based institutions,” he said.

Adsit joins Mount Saint Mary College from D’Youville College in Buffalo, where he served as dean of the school of arts, sciences and education and director of the educational leadership doctoral program.

The 15-member presidential search committee included school trustees, faculty members, administrators, an alumnus and a student.

“Jason brings ener�y, enthusiasm, and experience to his new role as president of Mount Saint Mary College,” said board vice-chair Sister Margaret Anderson.

Prior to his work at D’Youville College, Adsit was associate provost for academic administration at the University of Rochester.

He was also director of the teaching and learning center at SUNY Buffalo and assistant dean for institutional research and assessment at Johns Hopkins University.

Adsit earned a doctoral degree in philosophy from the State University of New York at Buffalo and a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from American University.

Built in 1954, Tanglewood consists of two retail buildings: a 22,300-square-foot property anchored by AutoZone and an adjacent 4,700-square-foot property whose tenants include CKO Kickboxing, a nail salon and a market. The property is

100 percent leased.

“We are thrilled to have acquired Tanglewood, the culmination of a relationship with the owners that began over 15 years ago,” said William Biddle, president of Urstadt Biddle Properties.

“Tanglewood is one of the first shopping centers in lower New York, developed

its first and only trade.”

Urstadt Biddle Properties also owns two other shopping plazas on Central Park Avenue — the Midway Shopping Center and the McLean Plaza Shopping Center — plus two additional plazas within two miles of Tanglewood.

Tanglewood was the one-time operating site of the Tanglewood Boys, a recruitment gang working with the Lucchese crime family in the 1990s.

St. John's Riverside, one of county's last independent hospitals, seeks partner

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

O

ne the last two independent community hospitals standing in Westchester County will seek a partnership with a larger health network.

St. John’s Riverside Hospital, a 378-bed hospital based in Yonkers, announced March 28 that it’s on the hunt for larger institutional backing.

Shifts in the health care industry since the implementation of the Affordable Care Act have seen major hospital networks such as Montefiore, NewYork-Presbyterian and Northwell Health scoop up almost all of Westchester’s hospitals through purchases or affiliation agreements.

Westchester Medical Center, meanwhile, has boosted its network through affiliation and purchase agreements of

its own in the Hudson Valley.

With the dust mostly settled, only two Westchester community hospitals, St. John Riverside Hospital and its Yonkers neighbor Saint Joseph’s Medical Center, still operate independently.

But St. John’s CEO Ron Corti said that after 150 years of independent operation, it’s time the hospital pursues a new chapter for its 2,000 employees and physicians.

“Today, the cost of health care has escalated while government reimbursement for Medicare and Medicaid patients has dropped precipitously,” Corti said in a statement released by the hospital. “Additionally, insurance companies have increased denial rates for payment after we have rendered excellent patient care.”

The hospital issued in March a request for proposals to major health

care systems to explore a partnership arrangement.

Responses are due by April, but the hospital said the process could take between two and three years to finalize.

The state Department of Health would also have to approve any arrangement.

St. John’s Riverside Hospital is spread among four main facilities. There’s the flagship 225-bed Andrus Pavilion in Yonkers, which offers emergency services, cancer care, a state-designated stroke care center and the only maternity services in the city, along with a range of other inpatient and outpatient services. The 141-bed Park Care Pavilion about 2 miles south provides inpatient and outpatient services, substance abuse care and is a state-designated AIDS Center. A 12-bed pavilion in Dobbs Ferry provides inpatient and primary care, as

well as ambulatory surgery and emergency services. A 15,000-square-foot lease at Simone Development Cos’ Boyce Thompson facility hosts outpatient services and doctor’s offices.

The hospital estimates it treats about 250,000 patients annually. St. John’s is a designated “Essential Community Provider” by the state, meaning it serves predominantly low-income individuals.

The hospital also includes the Cochran School of Nursing, the oldest hospital-based nursing school in the New York Metropolitan region. The school is based within St. John’s main hospital campus and enrolls about 90 students per year.

The hospital system reported a $7.3 million loss in 2015 and a $7.4 million loss in 2016, according to federal tax filings.

Comparing its 2016 tax

filings with its 2011 filings illustrates the growing strain on the hospital’s finances.

The hospital reported a net income of $18 million in 2011, according to federal filings.

Its incomes have dropped steadily since. That year, the hospital brought in about $259 million in revenue and had $241 million in expenses.

In 2016, the hospital brought in about $243 million, according to tax filings, down about 6 percent from 2011. Meanwhile, its expenses totaled $251 million, up about 4 percent from 2011.

The hospital acknowledged its negative margins in the announcement, which it blamed on reimbursement denials, uncompensated care and rising costs.

Along with insurance companies denying payment for care, Corti said a shift among employers to health plans’ high out-of-pocket

costs has left a growing number of patients unable to pay for medical care.

“Yet the hospital treats them, which amounts to a price cut for us,” Corti said.

“So, the combination of all this, plus an aging population that requires more specialized and consistent care, and the increased cost of new technolo�y, makes our current hospital business model unsustainable.”

St. John’s Hospital already has a clinical affiliation with the Montefiore Health System through which it collaborates on some larger Montefiore health care initiatives, but not any official network affiliation.

The partnership process will take some time. Even after it has found the right partner and negotiated the structure for its partnership, St. John’s said it could take another five years to fully integrate the hospital’s systems.

Cancer Support Team: Hope, healing and helping hands

BY JULIE MEADE

I

t began with the realization that something essential was missing in the world of cancer treatment, something big that could radically change the way doctors ministered to their patients and helped them better cope with their disease, regardless of their prognosis.

And then that realization became a vision and that vision a reality.

Back in the 70s, Dr. Arnold M. Wald, a radiation oncologist practicing in Rye, noted that his cancer patients, whose outlook ranged from curable to palliative, needed more than help with their physical illness. His patients’ cancer diagnoses were often overwhelming and their concerns ranged from fear about their physical treatment and its side effects to anxiety about how they were going to manage their families, their jobs and their lives overall.

Determined to help his patients, Wald investigated hospice, a new concept introduced in England, but New York state had not yet accepted the practice. Undeterred, he then connected with Gayle K. Lee, a nurse skilled in patient advocacy who also understood that helping cancer patients wasn’t just about reducing tumors. It was about providing holistic care, enhancing the quality of life for those affected by cancer at any stage of the disease, and offering ongoing support.

United in their mission, Wald and Lee set out to create an organization that would fill the gap left by traditional medical care. After carefully considering the special needs and problems of their patients, they founded Cancer Support Team (CST), a nonprofit organization that provides professional nursing care, social work counseling, case management and other supportive services to individuals, families and caregivers living in southern Westchester.

Since its inception in 1978, CST has been transformative in the care of cancer patients. Instead of focusing on the negative, the program offers a continuum of care to patients at all stages of cancer and focuses on the living — however, long that might be.

Every effort is made to help all patients regain a sense of control over their lives, and to be active and involved partners with the medical team in treating their disease.

Wald and Lee knew from the outset that each patient experiences cancer in different ways. They gathered together a compassionate, interdisciplinary staff of highly trained nurses and social workers who understood that they could not treat cancer in isolation. Rather, they must consider the whole person in developing an individualized plan of care. In addition to addressing a patient’s physical needs, the team responds to the emotional, socioeconomic and spiritual issues and concerns of each patient and his or her family. CST mobilizes the patient’s own strengths and abilities in a productive and positive manner.

As an independent organization, CST has the freedom and ability to provide a comprehensive program of services to a broad spectrum of patients without charge. Since it does not bill insurance agencies, it is able to tailor services to patients’ needs and to see them continuously over time. The services offered by CST are many, including care management, pain and side effect management, counseling, advocacy, referral to community resources, financial and transportation assistance and bereavement services.

CST is unique in that it is the only licensed Westchesterbased home health services agency focused on cancer that provides services at no cost and without regard to insurance. Private donations, grants and CST’s fundraising efforts enable it to not only provide quality care, but to

offer financial grants to the medically underserved to pay for cancer-related items and services not covered by insurance, as well as the daily costs of living.

CST’s experienced staff is enhanced by the many volunteers who assist the organization on a consistent basis. These devoted individuals hail from many professions, such as nursing, social work and patient advocacy.

These volunteers, all carefully selected and trained, enable CST to serve an even greater number of patients. Whether it’s driving them to treatment appointments, paying them visits at home or running errands, these steadfast, compassionate volunteers provide assistance and care.

Over the past 40 years, CST has grown into a well respected and highly valued organization that, through its holistic approach to cancer care, has had a profound impact on the community it serves. In 2017, its nurses, social workers and case managers served 725 patients, making 2,030 visits either in a client’s home, in the CST office or in the community. Including telephone consultations, the organization’s professional staff facilitated over 4,857 in-person “encounters” or visits. In a testament to CST’s outstanding work, in a recent survey of clients, 100 percent said they would recommend a family member or friend with cancer.

By offering a human response to human needs, the organization has played an integral role in the lives of those with cancer and their families. CST is a supportive lifeline, offering hope, healing and helping hands to those in southern Westchester who need it most.

Julie Meade, executive director of Cancer Support Team, oversees a team of 14 professionals and more than 100 volunteers in Westchester. Meade can be reached at jmeade@cancersupportteam.org.

Pace University offers an OASIS for students on the autism spectrum

BY JANET D. MULVEY

M

ichael is nervous about attending college as a freshman in the fall. And his parents are even more anxious. Michael has been accepted to a private university in New York and this will be his first time away from home and his parents.

Typical college freshman scenario, right? Except Michael is a student on the autism spectrum. Successfully completing a college degree can be a challenge for any individual, but especially for those on the spectrum.

Autism is a developmental disorder that affects one in 68 people. It impairs the ability of individuals to communicate and interact with others. This can make college life challenging for students with autism.

Living in college resi-

dence halls, participating in classes and study groups and eating meals at the cafeteria are all part of college life and all a bit more challenging when on the spectrum.

So what solutions are available for students on the spectrum? Research has shown that these students thrive when they received increased support to assist them with navigating the college experience.

April is autism awareness month and in the past decade an increase in awareness has led to earlier diagnosis, which has resulted in children who are better prepared as they enter adulthood. As a result, many students with high-functioning autism are seeking postsecondary education at colleges and universities nationwide.

Current statistics indicate that each year applications of students with autism

spectrum disorder (ASD) to post-secondary education will increase by approximately 20,000. It is therefore, imperative that institutions of higher learning prepare to accept, support and include students with ASD into their courses and classrooms.

More and more colleges and universities are offering support for students with disabilities, including those with ASD. It is important to note that the amount of support differs greatly and parents, high school counselors and students should research each to make sure that the supports offered meet the individual needs of the prospective student.

At Pace University, OASIS (ongoing academic, social, instructional, and support) is a comprehensive college support program for students on the autism spectrum. Located in the TARA

Center (Teach and Research in Autism), the program is founded on researched findings focused on essential supports necessary for success in postsecondary education and independence.

Students entering the program are required to submit recent neuropsychological assessments to assure that their individual strengths are recognized and their needs met. To guarantee that all accommodations — from extended time for testing to note-taking services — be afforded, the assessment is shared with the office of disability services responsible for implementation of all accommodations.

All students in the program are admitted by university standards, but receive the tools they need for success. That includes individual coaching, social skills training and inclu-

sion with college students, instructional assistance, enhanced communication with professors, emotional support through individual and group sessions with a trained licensed social worker, housing support, weekly social activities, employment readiness workshops, and assistance with finding internships and employment following graduation.

The OASIS program provides a quiet place on campus for individual coaching, study cubicles, lounges for social interaction and support for individual needs.

Each student is assigned a coach and works oneon-one with that coach at least four hours weekly.

Executive functioning skills are focused on to help the student with time management, organization, planning and communication to adhere to the standard of

course work expected from all Pace students.

The OASIS program at Pace was started in 2008 with four students. There are currently 40 students participating and the program has helped more than 100 students.

Recognizing the statistics for noncompletion and/or graduation for students on the spectrum (80 percent), the OASIS program boasts a 77 percent completion and graduation rate. Following the same pattern for employment following postsecondary completion, the program has focused upon those skills necessary for success in the workplace.

All junior and senior students receiving support from OASIS attend weekly employment ready workshops focused on skills necessary for success after

At-home genetic testing: Implications for patients and providers

BY SARA BIENENFELD

I

f you’ve ever suffered a sleepless night after surfing the “Symptom Checker” on WebMD, you might understand why medicine, and especially oncolo�y, is not best served “direct-to-consumer.” This is why direct-to-consumer genetics tests for cancer risk are concerning for both patients and providers.

Recently, the FDA approved companies such as 23andMe to provide customers with information on three genetic variants found on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that can indicate higher risk for breast, ovarian, prostate and other cancers, without ordering a health care provider.

As health care providers, our primary goal is to offer exceptional care for the community.

When our patients are aware and informed, the insight they provide is invaluable in assessing their cancer risk. Proponents of home testing note that some women might not have a full picture of their family history and therefore might not seek genetic testing nor know they harbor BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations until after being diagnosed with cancer. The problem is that tests like these do not provide a full and complete picture of one’s cancer risks.

Comprehensive and complete genetic testing is a complex process. So, are our patients best served by taking this on by themselves?

Interpreting test results without the support of an experienced genetic counselor or oncologist can be misleading and confusing.

It’s akin to a patient surfing the web in order to self-diagnose symptoms.

What’s important for consumers to know is that current hereditary cancer screenings focus on much larger genetic panels and that people with a significant family history of cancer should have testing that is much more extensive than the BRCA genes alone.

Significant implications for other cancer risks might be overlooked.

For example, the newly approved 23andMe test focuses solely on three specific mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are most commonly observed in the Eastern European, or Ashkenazi, Jewish population. The test does not analyze the remainder of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes nor does it test for a multitude of other genes that when mutated increase the risk for cancer.

Pre- and post-test counseling also are an important part of the genetic testing process.

They help ensure the patient: (a) pursues the most appropriate genetic test based on their personal and family history, and (b) understands the implications of the results — whether positive, negative or inconclusive. Without counseling, at-home genetic testing can cause undue stress or harmful complacency. Individuals may not understand the options available to them if they have a mutation or what it might mean for other family members. Conversely, negative results may also lead some individ-

uals to forgo appropriate routine screening such as mammograms.

We have found that the best way to win the fight against cancer is through a multidisciplinary team approach. Here at White Plains Hospital, our team of oncologists and genetic counselors help identify patients who should get tested, identify the appropriate panels of genes to be tested, guide patients and their families in interpreting the results, and place patients into appropriate surveillance programs. The insight and guidance given to patients is, quite frankly, life saving. At-home tests might deter patients from seeking professional support that can identify cancer at its earliest stage, when it’s most treatable.

The upside of the attention for at-home genetic tests for cancer risk is just that — atten-

tion. It is our hope that news about at-home genetic testing sparks conversations about cancer risk. As terms like BRCA1 and BRCA2 enter the popular lexicon, and consumers become more aware that these genes are associated with a significantly higher risk of breast, ovarian, and other cancers, it helps shine a light on the importance of genetic testing.

The health care industry has come a long way in enhancing community health and technolo�y has played a crucial role. Today, we have more in our arsenal to identify, prevent and treat diseases such as cancer than ever before. We have access to the latest cancer clinical trials that are transforming the future of cancer care right here in the community. In the last decade, we’ve seen breathtaking results for immunotherapy, letting us implement novel,

cutting-edge treatments that eliminate a cancer’s ability to evade our immune system.

As health care providers, we wholeheartedly embrace technolo�y and all that it does to enhance community health. But, providing exceptional care to the community means engaging with our community. When we make that human connection with our patients we are best able to leverage everything in our arsenal to preserve what’s most important — the well being of our Westchester community.

Doctors are providing a more personal touch via concierge medicine

BY JENA A. BUTTERFIELD

W

hen we’re not feeling well, we all want to be treated immediately by doctors who understand us as well as their specialties. There’s a growing need for quality doctor/patient relationships on both sides of the exam table and, with it, a growing field — concierge medicine.

“The typical primary care doctor has a patient panel of 2,200 to 2,500 patients,” said Dr. John Connolly, president and CEO of Castle Connolly, a research company that publishes the “America’s Top Doctors” book series and partners with more than 30 magazines to profile top docs. “When (physicians) convert to a concierge model, (they) reduce their patient load to anywhere between 400 and 600 patients,” Connolly said. “That gives them the ability to offer immediate appointments, either same day or next day and to spend a lot more quality time with them.”

Connolly had a growing interest in the concierge model when he met Dr. Dean McElwain, a health care executive who had a decade of experience in the concierge approach.

“I decided it was time that Castle Connolly

got into this field,” Connolly said. “So, we launched Castle Connolly Private Health Partners (CCPHP) back in 2015.”

Concierge medicine seemed to fit Castle Connolly’s brand of helping consumers navigate the health care environment.

“We are uniquely situated in the space,” said McElwain, president and COO of Castle Connolly Private Health Partners. Its nationwide network of physicians gave them an edge. “(Patients) have access to our database of top doctors,” Connolly said. “It’s very useful to them.”

The database proved fertile ground for finding doctors who could benefit from converting their practices. “There is no cost for doctors,” Connolly said. “We handle the cost of that conversion and we also offer expertise to do it properly.”

At Castle Connolly about 30 doctors have converted their practices to the concierge approach, and “we have another three or four that are in line ready to be launched,” Connolly said. “We expect we’ll add between 10 and 15 additional doctors this year.”

Dr. Steven Schneider, a 16-year “America’s Top Doctors” veteran, was the second doctor to come aboard CCPHP

when it launched. Before he converted his practice to the concierge model, he had a patient panel of 2,500, seeing 20 to 22 patients in a single afternoon. His part-time practice is down to 250 patients. Now he sees a maximum of 8 to 12 patients in an afternoon, four or five on some days.

He had been considering concierge medicine for years when McElwain approached him, he said, and the change has been beneficial.

“I would greet my patients with ‘Sorry to keep you waiting,’” Schneider said. “It’s changed the quality and nature of my practice. And now no one’s waiting.”

The concierge model is no longer only for the super-rich. There are physicians who can charge $10,000 to $25,000. “People hear that and think ‘concierge medicine, that’s not for me,’” Connolly said.

The patients who join a CCPHP concierge practice pay an annual fee of around $2,000 to $2,500. “That’s what most of our doctors (charge),” Connolly said. “Some charge more.

The doctors continue to bill for insurance. But they don’t have to bill for a couple of thousand patients, they have to bill for the number of patients they’re caring for, so it’s much less burdensome.”

Telemedicine is a growing part of the CCPHP program, which has developed its own branded wellness offering that pairs patients with a health coach at no additional cost.

“That’s part of the secret sauce,” McElwain said. “Physicians understand the added value of that.”

Annual growth in subscription private medicine services, primarily in internal and family medicine, is between 3 and 6 percent, according to Concierge Medicine Today, an industry trade publication. The obstacles to enticing doctors are twofold, Connolly said, citing increased employment of physicians by hospitals and large medical groups as well as a general fear of change and making their converted practice a success.

But according to an August 2017 article in The American Journal of Medicine, concierge medicine will continue to grow. Even hospitals are realizing many patients are looking for a concierge doctor and are implementing programs. Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston has launched a concierge medicine program. And Connolly said “we have partnered with Newton-Wellesley Hospital, which has also launched a program.”

Critics of concierge medicine say the model further drains the pool of an already insufficient number of primary care physicians. But for Schneider, it was a determining factor in whether he continued to see patients at all.

“If I had kept the old practice, I don’t think I could do it anymore,” he said. “I was in a state of anxiety half the time.”

There is also fear of elitism and a reinforcement of a two-tier health system.

“Is it a solution for everybody? No,” Schneider said. But he sees a growing number of middle- class and blue-collar workers choosing the concierge model. He cited a patient who initially balked at paying the annual fee. During the time that he was establishing the program, the patient suf-

“The major change I see is simply growth

employment. Résumé and cover letters are perfected and mock interviews provide practice and feedback to build better potential for employment. All attendees in the workshops acquire paid summer internships, preparing them for independence after graduation.

While this is a new initiative of the program, we are already seeing results and are determined to prove how students with ASD and other learning differences contribute to the community and society.

It is becoming increasingly gratifying to see program graduates achieve success in their personal and professional lives. Many have been able to gradually transition from dependence to independence and are succeeding in the workplace. Some have become spokespeople for the program and role models on the possibilities of what can be accomplished.

KICKS KICK OFF ANNIVERSARY The Yorkville Sports Association (YSA) recently kicked off the celebration of its 40th anniversary with a kicking event: people were invited to kick balls into a net on the green of Solaris, a sports club in Yorktown Heights, with each goal adding to the money being raised to benefit the Special Olympics-Hudson Valley.

A total of $1,000 was raised for the Special Olympics, which provides yearround sports training and athletic competition in a variety of Olympic-style sports for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.

Al Morales, YSA founder and CEO, thanked the community for its support.

“With its backing, we have been able to pay it forward by supporting organizations such as the Special Olympics, that make an immeasurable impact on our community,” he said.

Among those attending the event were Yorktown Supervisor Ilan Gilbert, Yorktown Chamber of Commerce representative Sergio Esposito, Teresa Gilli, director of development of the Special Olympics New York-Hudson Valley, and Yorktown Town Councilman Ed Lachterman.

PACE STUDENTS FILM HURRICANE RECOVERY Students from Pace University have been working on a documentary about the hurricane recovery in Puerto Rico. The film is set to premiere on May 1 at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville with a second showing May 7 in Manhattan at the Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts.

Led by Maria Luskay, a professor in the department of media, communications and visual arts at Pace’s Pleasantville campus, the 18 students interviewed more than 60 people in 11 locations including rainforests, coastal and mountain villages and the city of San Juan. They talked with officials from FEMA, social service agencies, the Puerto Rican government and Con Edison about the challenges of restoring normalcy to the island.

Rachel Skopp-Cardillo, one of the students, said, “I was lucky enough to see Con Edison turn on power for an elementary school that hadn’t had electricity since Hurricane Irma (which was followed by Hurricane Maria). I will never forget the smiles, tears and cheers of the children.”

“This is experiential education – students are learning in the field and experiencing another culture, another world, outside of their classroom,” said Luskay. “They learn the value and importance of teamwork and organization as well as how to solve problems and adapt to changes in the story as it develops.”

TWO ADMIRAL BROKERS HONORED

CCCSR HONORS THREE

Two brokers at Admiral Real Estate Services Corp. in Bronxville have been recognized by the independent commercial real estate research firm CoStar. Jonathan Gordon and Joan Simon received awards for closing the highest transaction volume in commercial property sales or leases for the entire year of 2017 in their market areas.

CoStar bases the awards on transaction data in its commercial real estate database that it says is the largest independently researched database of commercial real estate property information available online.

In addition to the brokers receiving awards, Admiral Real Estate Services Corp. was recognized by CoStar as a top commercial leasing firm serving Westchester and Connecticut.

Admiral currently lists and/or manages more than 100 retail, office and development properties in the New York metropolitan area.

Catholic Charities Community Services of Rockland honored three Rockland County women during its 10th annual fundraising dinner that was attended by 200 guests at Town & County in Congers.

Emcee for the evening was Joan Facelle, board chair of the organization. Martha Robles, the organization’s executive director, presented the awards.

Frances Glick of Mateo Communications received the Business Community Award. Marion Breland, director of youth and family services of the Haverstraw Community Center received the Community Service Award. The Lifetime Community Service Award was presented to Suzanne Tiso of Immaculate Conception Parish in Stony Point.

Services provided by the group to those in need include food, shelter and other emergency assistance. Its staff members speak English, Spanish, French and Creole, and assist people of all ages, races and religions in Rockland County.

LIONS ROAR ABOUT HABITAT FUNDRAISER The newly merged Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions partnered with the Sedona Taphouse of Mamaroneck to raise funds for Habitat for Humanity of Westchester.

Every Monday, Sedona offers Steak Out for Charity in which it donates $1 of every order for its special $6 steak lunch or dinner to a local charity. The Lions Club decided to help

raise funds for Habitat by matching the amount raised in Sedona’s promotion by up to $1,000.

When the proceeds from the steak dinners on five Mondays were combined with $1,000 from the Lions, the total was $2,173.

Based on the success of this effort, the Lions and Sedona have agreed to work together again.

HAPPENING From left: Scott Hayworth, Westchester Community College President Belinda Miles, Dave Yawman and Alana Sweeny.

PEPSICO PLEDGES $100K TO UWWP The PepsiCo Foundation has pledged $100,000 over two years to fund one of the United Way of Westchester and Putnam’s signature programs. It’s called “The Teach Me to Fish.” The job skills training program helps put adults on the road to self-sufficiency through career training and mentorship.

The organization’s CEO Alana Sweeny said, “PepsiCo’s generosity and vision have given immeasurable momentum to our work to bring greater stability to the one in three households in our counties that are living on the financial edge.”

The gala was the organization’s most successful annual gala, raising more than $400,000. It was held at Doral Arrowwood in Rye Brook and honored United Way’s board chair Dave Yawman. He is executive vice president of government affairs, general counsel and corporate secretary of PepsiCo Inc. Also honored was Dr. Scott Hayworth, president and CEO of CareMount Medical.

The gala committee was co-chaired by Ross Buchmueller, Megan Hurley, Michael D. Israel and John Gary Luboja.

COHEN NAMED A WOMAN TO WATCH

HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES CELEBRATE

BY REACHING OUT While White Plains Hospital celebrates its 125th anniversary throughout 2018, hospital employees are doing a bit of celebrating on their own by reaching out to the community at large.

The employees have been leading efforts to benefit children, seniors and low-income families throughout the region.

When winter was still a force to reckon with, the hospital’s marketing, foundation, and human resources departments contributed cold-weather accessories for children to the Don Bosco Community Center in Port Chester. Later, the hospital’s critical care division donated 125 pedometers to the White Plains Senior Center. The food service and radiology and pathology departments were set to collect new pajamas and books for children to be donated to Pajama Program, a national charity.

White Plains Hospital holds its 125th anniversary gala in September at the Sleepy Hollow Country Club, the site of the organization’s first fundraising gala in 1956

UJA-Federation of New York’s Westchester Business and Professional Division board members have been conducting mock interviews and mentoring students to help them face the challenges posed by job interviews.

The sessions have been taking place at the Sally & Anthony Mann Center, a residential treatment facility in Hawthorne for teenage girls with severe emotional challenges, which is run by UJA partner, The Jewish Board. There, the board members have been speaking with the students about job search skills and practicing interviewing skills.

“It feels good to give back to the Mann Center…and to share what I’ve learned as a businesswoman with young women who are motivated to embark upon careers of their own,” said White Plains resident Bonnie Hagen, one of the volunteers and COO of Bright Energy Services, a sustainable energy firm.

The Jewish Board said that it serves more than 43,000 people from all religious, ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds each year in New York City and Westchester.

BCW BUSINESS EXPO HELD

Nurses Leslie Rodriguez and Melissa Alves-Malaver joined Ellen Albers, White Plains Community Center’s assistant director and the city’s Mayor Tom Roach to deliver pedometers to the White Plains Senior Center.

MENTORING STUDENTS

Stacey Cohen, CEO of Co-Communications, a public relations and marketing firm with offices in White Plains, Farmington, Connecticut, and New York City has been named as a top woman to watch in real estate. She received the honor at the Top Women in Real Estate Gala held at Club 101 in Manhattan

by Sokol Media.

Cohen was honored for her communications contributions to the field of real estate. Among her firm’s clients are the Fordham University Real Estate Institute, Coldwell Banker, CBRE, The Blue Book, Construction Industry Council, Faithful Gould, Cushman Wakefield, George Comfort and Sons, and CREW New York. Her firm worked on the 18-month communication campaign “Build the Bridge Now” to raise awareness about replacing the Tappan Zee Bridge.

Co-Communications was founded by Cohen in 1997. She currently serves on the boards of The Business Council of Westchester and the UJA Foundation.

PEPE NAMED TOP INFINITI RETAILER IN U.S. Pepe Infiniti in White Plains has been named the 2017 Infiniti U.S.A. Volume Retailer of the Year. This marks the seventh time in the last eight years that Pepe has received the award.

The executive manager of the dealership, Mark Hersh, accepted the award from Brian Barrett of Infiniti Financial Services. Pepe also received the 2017 Infiniti Award of Excellence. It was the brand’s only retailer in New York and Connecticut to receive that honor.

The company attributed its success not only to its staff and the automotive line it offers, but also to its customers that it characterized as the “heartbeat” of its business.

Nationally, Infiniti reported all-time record sales in 2017 with 153,415 vehicles sold in the U.S. for the year, an increase of 11 percent over 2016.

More than 1,500 people attended The Business Council of Westchester’s (BCW) Westchester Business Expo on March 28 at the Westchester Hilton in Rye Brook. More than 150 service businesses and merchants were represented. In addition, there were booths where foods and beverages could be sampled and others where experts could be asked about a variety of subjects.

The event was billed as the most influential business-to-business trade show in the Hudson Valley. It provided an opportunity for visitors to mingle with representatives of leading brands in education, healthcare, hospitality, insurance, real estate, banking, law, marketing, the nonprofit field, and more.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said, “Government is a partner with the business community, but it is the energy of the business community that is driving this county forward.’’

Marsha Gordon, president and CEO of the BCW, noted, “The event which is in its 16th year provides a vibrant arena for connecting with potential clients and business partners to forge long-lasting, profitable relationships.”

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