IBM spinoff charts bright future with energy analytics BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

here’s a new world order in energy, says Chandu Visweswariah, president and CEO of Utopus Insights Inc., an energy analytics startup in Valhalla. Renewable energy is becoming more economically viable and growing rapidly worldwide. “That, however, will bring with it its share of technical problems,” Visweswariah said. “You are dependent on wind, you are dependent on the sun. So there is what we call intermittency in

the availability of energy. You need tools and intelligence to plan your energy around this intermittency.” Utopus Insights is creating those tools. “The goal of our company is to really be the leading provider of this new intelligence or new software that is necessary for utilities and energy systems,” said Visweswariah. Visweswariah previously directed the Smarter Energy Research Institute at IBM’s Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights. He was named an IBM Fellow in 2013.

‘A case study’ for bank mergers in KeyBank deal BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

t’s been 10 months since Cleveland-based KeyCorp’s $4.1 billion acquisition of Buffalo-based First Niagara Financial Group was approved by the Federal Reserve. Joseph F. Markey, senior vice president at KeyBank and its market president for the Hudson Valley and Metro New York, said that except for some technical hiccups, the transition has been smooth. “Bringing two massive systems and organizations together, there’s always going to be glitches,” Markey said. “But in the history of bank mergers, this one went very well. It’s actually a good case study for how to do a bank merger.”

The deal added about $29 billion in deposits and $40 billion in total assets and placed KeyBank as the 13th largest commercial bank in the nation. In October 2016, KeyBank had what was called Customer Day One, where all systems were merged and all clients from First Niagara came over to KeyBank. That part was not so smooth. Former First Niagara customers complained of being locked out of accounts and unable to reach KeyBank customer service reps. KeyBank eventually apologized and deposited $100 into each of the new KeyBank accounts of more than 10,000 First Niagara customers, according to the Buffalo News. But despite early troubles, Markey said the overall impact

of the deal, which expanded KeyBank’s network to more than 1,200 branches in 15 states, is showing several positive signs. KeyCorp reported first-quarter net income of $296 million, nearly 63 percent higher than last year’s $182 million in the first quarter. KeyCorp Chairman and CEO Beth Mooney said in the bank’s first quarter earnings call last month that the First Niagara acquisition had been transforma-

tive, particularly for KeyBank’s presence upstate. Markey pointed to a client retention rate that he said was over 90 percent following the merger. The deal required KeyBank to close 106 First Niagara and KeyBank locations in four states, 15 of which were in the Hudson Valley. That included locations in Rye Brook, Mount Kisco, Ossining and Bedford Hills.

Markey said that all branch closures for Hudson Valley region are complete. The region didn’t require as many closures as areas farther upstate, according to Markey, because First Niagara’s presence in Westchester and the rest of the region was smaller than other parts of the state such as Rochester, Albany, Buffalo and Syracuse. » KEYBANK, page 6

Manhattan ﬁrm focused on immigration law opens Peekskill ofﬁce

IN AMERICA

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

New York City firm focused on immigration law has opened a Peekskill office to better serve its clients living in Westchester County. Though still awaiting approvals from the city to erect the firm’s sign on the front of its new offices at 906 South St., law firm Pollack, Pollack, Isaac & DeCicco LLP has begun seeing clients in Peekskill. “Just today, I had a guy come in who had another lawyer who told him, ‘Go ahead and apply for political asylum,’” said Conrad Pollack, a managing partner and director of the firm’s immigration department. “A year ago, (that would have been) OK. I don’t necessarily disagree with that, but today, that’s a very different proposition, because you’re going to get denied and with our current attorney general, you’re going to get deported.” Instead of applying for asylum, the client was eligible to apply for a green card, Pollack said. “As a result, he’s now changing course. And he and his wife both will probably have a green card within the next year and a half, two years,” he said. For Pollack, who has been a practicing immigration attorney for more than three decades, this client’s case was nothing new. “That’s standard stuff,” he said. “I see that kind of stuff all the time.” In leading the Manhattan-based firm, Pollack has followed in the footsteps of his late father, Arthur. “I grew up not really thinking anything else than that I was going to eventually become an immigration lawyer and work for my dad,” he said. Arthur Pollack, who was born in the U.S. but moved to Germany at a young age, had a linguistic gift and spoke more than a dozen languages fluently. He served in World War II as a paratrooper and later as a translator for the Nuremberg Trials, according to his son. “My father was a smart guy, he was an extremely intelligent man,” he said. Though Arthur originally focused on insurance law — “he hated it,” Pollack said with a laugh — his proclivity for language led him to immigration law in the 1960s. “Some Dominican guy walked into his office, which was in Brooklyn at the time. The guy had an immigration case and my father spoke Spanish. Not only Spanish, but he spoke with a Dominican accent.” In 1965, Congress passed the Hart— Celler Act, which abolished a quota system based on national origins that had

served as America’s immigration policy since the 1920s. The act also ushered in a new wave of immigrants into the country. “It was just fortuitous,” Pollack said. “He became ‘the man’ with Dominicans and Haitians in particular. He worked six days a week and had crowds of people in his office. He was one of the pioneers (in the field of immigration law) and made it into a very nice practice.” Though Pollack had spent his life looking forward to working in immigration law alongside his father, unforeseen circumstances would cut short their time together. “Unfortunately, he died soon after I graduated law school. Basically we worked together for six months and he passed away, and the whole practice was thrust on me when I was a 26-year-old kid.” Becoming the head of a law firm so shortly after graduating was “interesting,” Pollack said. “It was hard, very hard for the first couple of years. It was very difficult for me, but in retrospect, I think there’s something to be said for trial by fire.” Pollack said the firm had considered opening a second office in northern Westchester for some time. “We have a lot of Ecuadorian clients up here in Ossining, Peekskill, Croton, Tarrytown,” he said. “Now, instead of my clients having to come all the way down to Manhattan to see me, I’m coming to them. It’s bringing the mount to Mohammed.” After touring the office space, which is near the corner of South and Division streets in downtown Peekskill, Pollack said it was “perfect.” “It just worked out,” he said. “Also, given the nature of what’s going on these days with immigration and politics, everything kind of came together.”

Because of the current state of immigration in the country, Pollack also cited a strong need for sound legal services in the area. “The quality of immigration legal advice, it could be better in Westchester,” he said. “There’s a reason why I probably get more clients that already have lawyers than don’t.” Pollack said the immigration law field is “very ripe” for new attorneys to jump into. “You have a lot of people, maybe they mean well, but they don’t know anything,” he said. “As a result, a lot of immigrants get screwed. Maybe it’s unintentional, but Immigration (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) doesn’t care.” Because of their desperation or lack of knowledge, Pollack said many immigrants can find themselves taken advantage of or “ripped off.” He recalled many clients who had previously paid a lump sum for legal advice, only to return weeks later to find the offices of their attorney vacant. “That happens a lot,” he said. “I think people take comfort in the fact that I’m not going anywhere. My father did it before me. My son will probably be doing it after me.” Pollack stressed that immigration law is not for every lawyer. “It’s on one hand difficult because you’re dealing with people under a lot of pressure,” he said. “On the other hand, when you’re successful especially, there’s a level of satisfaction it brings as well.” For Pollack, the current state of the country’s immigration policies, though different from the previous two administrations, is “not necessarily new.” Pollack cited the raids and immigrant detentions that were commonplace in the 1970s and 1980s. “The stuff that’s going on today has happened before, it just hasn’t happened lately,” he said. “So I’ve seen the ebb and flow. So, No. 1, I’m not shocked, and No. 2, I’m not unprepared. We’ve been there.” Still, Pollack believes immigrants have “a legitimate reason” to be fearful. “The official line is, ‘We’re just going after the bad hombres,’ quote unquote,” he said. “That’s not true. Its whoever they come across.” Pollack cited the recent news of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents lurking near courthouses in an attempt to arrest immigrants who are in the country illegally. “It’s just crazy,” he said. “They may be removing more people than had been removed previously, but they’re not going to solve the problem, because they’re not going to remove 11 million immigrants. Eventually, they’re going to realize that, but how long it takes, who knows.”

Downtown housing developer hears opponents in Mount Vernon BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

half-dozen residents voiced opposition to tax breaks for a mixed-use development at the Mount Vernon West Metro-North train station at a public hearing on May 12 for a proposal that could be a foregone conclusion. A year ago, MacQuesten Development LLC, a Pelham company formerly based in Mount Vernon, asked the city’s Industrial Development Agency to exempt it from $1.6 million in sales and use taxes and to abate property taxes for 30 years on a 20-story residential and retail tower at 22 S. West St. The IDA has granted the Pelham company preliminary project approval. The final authorizing resolution is pending. “We have a signed resolution that is the basis of our financing,” said Joseph Apicella, MacQuesten’s project manager, after the IDA hearing. “This is in full force and effect,” he said, holding the IDA’s 2016 inducement resolution. Following its preliminary vote of support for the downtown project, the IDA held a required public hearing on the project in December. But the Mount Vernon school district sued the city over how it apportions PILOTS — payments in lieu of taxes — and it objected to the timing and manner in which the IDA notified the public about the first hearing. So the IDA held another hearing. MacQuesten on May 8 submitted site plans to the Mount Vernon Planning Board for a 17-story building with 174 apartments, scaled back from 20 stories and 205 apartments in the developer’s proposal last year. The estimated $71 million development would include about 4,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and blend marketrate apartments with units reserved for lowto-medium-income households Several residents who spoke during and after the hearing objected not only to IDA tax breaks and support for MacQuesten’s project but for residential projects in general and for affordable housing in particular. Pedro Coelho runs Padaminas Brazilian Bakery on Lincoln Avenue in Mount Vernon, owns four properties in the city and pays about $100,000 a year in taxes. “There’s no pilot for Pedro,” he said. “I have to pay the full tab.” He worries that the city’s support of lowincome housing exposes children to too much poverty, motivates good citizens to move away and causes stores to close. “We’re working hard to restore the city,”

Coelho said. “Bring back the glory days. Don’t sell out our beautiful city so cheap.” “We don’t need more residential housing,” said Bill Cappello. He said affordable housing tends to deteriorate, adds too many children to the school district and increases the tax burden on homeowners. He said the city needs all the property tax revenue it can get from developers to fix a city that is falling apart. “We want them to pay their full share of taxes,” said Cappello. “I can’t see the financial gain for the city,” Marlene Werthem said. “We’re asking that you not continue with the old deleterious decisions.” Jose Filipe said the city should encourage development of market-rate apart-

ments to foster more business and build a stronger tax base. He asked if the IDA ever gets back taxes from developers that fail to produce the jobs they promised or whose projects put more students in the schools than predicted. The IDA has a clawback policy, said Sean McIntyre, the agency’s interim director. “The IDA pays lip service to clawbacks,” said Thomas Scapoli, an attorney who represents the schools. “I would ask how often it’s done.” MacQuesten’s 2016 IDA proposal says the project will create 300 to 350 construction jobs and 50 full-time jobs when it opens. The company bought a parcel in 2015

for $1.5 million and has removed underground gas tanks and contaminated soil. Last summer it paid $3 million for the dilapidated Mount Vernon West train station. Annual payments to municipalities in lieu of taxes would begin at $171,828, based on an average of $838.19 per unit for 205 apartments. It would increase to $397,118 by the 30th year. “We’re ready to go,” Apicella said. “We hope to break ground in a matter of weeks, not months. We’d like to have a foundation permit by July.” After the public hearing, Mount Vernon resident Jane Curtis noted that none of the five IDA board members attended. “There was no one from the board to hear our comments,” she said.

Courtyard Yonkers opens on Executive Boulevard BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

isitors to Westchester County and the surrounding area will now have a new place to rest their heads in Yonkers. Boston-based hotel management company Pyramid Hotel Group opened the doors of the Courtyard Yonkers by Marriott at 5 Executive Blvd. earlier this month. “It’s been fantastic,” said Brandon Glen, director of sales and marketing at the new hotel. “We’re probably at 45 percent (capacity) compared to 22 percent last week and 4 percent the day we opened.” With more than 2,800 square feet of meeting space split between two conference rooms, the 154-room hotel is targeted to the burgeoning business community. “I think that’s going to be our wheelhouse,” Glen said. “I think this area has been underserved with quality meeting space. Otherwise, you have to go to downtown White Plains or you have to go to Rye. There’s not a lot in Yonkers of quality, hightech meeting space.” Owned by Norwich Partners, a New England and Florida-based hotel developer and investor, the hotel also features a num-

ber of media pods in its front lobby. These pods offer flexible seating, televisions, complimentary Wi-Fi and can be used for additional meeting or breakout space for area companies, Glen said. “I think with the city’s redevelopment and things like the Generation Yonkers (marketing campaign), you’re going to see an increase in companies moving in” to Yonkers, Glen said. “I hope so, for sure.” The hotel is also home to The Bistro, an eatery that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, along with Starbucks drinks, beer, wine and cocktails. Other amenities of the hotel include a pool and fitness center. The hotel also features an outdoor space complete with a variety of plush seating arrangements and a fire pit. “I don’t think a lot of people are going to expect to find this in Yonkers off of Executive Boulevard,” Glen said.

Glen also believes the hotel, which features 87 king and 67 double-bed rooms, will serve tourists who plan to visit New York City. “For business, Westchester has always been strong, but I think we’re seeing the growth of Yonkers from a leisure standpoint,” he said. “With the proximity to the Greystone (Metro-North Railroad station,) we’re four minutes from the train. If you’re looking at either a one-night stay at $350, $400 in the city or you can come up here and spend $150 per night, which one are you going to choose for your small retreat?” The Courtyard shares a parking lot with another Norwich-owned and Pyramidmanaged hotel in South Westchester Executive Park, the Residence Inn at 7 Executive Boulevard. Pyramid took over management of the two properties in December, taking the reins from True North Hotel Group, a Kansas-based hotel development and management company, prior to the completion of the Courtyard’s construction. Along with their management duties, Pyramid was tasked with finishing the development of the Courtyard. Glen said when he joined the project, “carpets were down, and some product was in some of the rooms, but in boxes.”

“We wouldn’t have built this if there wasn’t demand in the market, and I don’t see Yonkers shrinking anytime soon with the efforts that the city is putting together,” he said. “I think for the longest time, many of the hotels were running north of 90 percent occupancy.” The Courtyard also plans to take advantage of the Boyce Thompson Center, the $35 million project that is across Executive Boulevard from the hotel. Nearing completion by Simone Development Cos., the 85,000-square-foot mixed-use development is set to be unveiled to the public on May 23. Restaurants will include Italian eatery Fortina, The Taco Project and a Japanese restaurant. “You can do meals with us, but you don’t want to be stuck in the hotel 24/7, so you can go to Boyce Thompson, you can go to the Untermyer Gardens, Lenoir Preserve,” he said. “Those experiences are what people are looking for.” Pyramid Hotel Group also manages Tarrytown House Estate on the Hudson at 49 E. Sunnyside Lane, Crowne Plaza at 18 Old Ridgebury Road in Danbury and the Renaissance Woodbridge Hotel in Iselin, New Jersey. The company also operates the new Courtyard New York Manhattan/World Trade Center hotel in Lower Manhattan.

Fortune 500 connections grow small businesses

ational Small Business Week may have recently come and gone, but for many of us, we didn’t necessarily need the reminder — we live it every day. Small businesses famously comprise such a large percentage of the U.S. economy — 99 percent of all U.S. firms, half of the employers and 64 percent of new jobs — that the average consumer probably encounters an entrepreneur at least once a day. The majority are not tech startups, as one might believe, but instead cater to every niche imaginable. As pervasive as small businesses are in the economic landscape and on the metaphorical Main Street, it turns out that the engine for some of their growth and longevity may be large companies. Small businesses that are awarded contracts from larger companies tend to thrive. According to the Center for an Urban Future, small businesses that obtain contracts with large companies can easily double their workforce within two years. Working with larger companies also gives smaller businesses the credibility to obtain loans more easily. But, let’s face it: it can be tough just to get the attention of Fortune 500 companies. To simply present their credentials and offer themselves for consideration in the procurement process, small businesses need to spend a lot of time filling out paperwork, one prospect at a time. Many are caught in the Catch 22 of not having enough time to undergo the process, yet need to do so if they’re going to grow. While there are about 6 million businesses in America, only about 10,500 suppliers received 80 percent of Fortune 500 contracts in 2008, according to Chicago-based CVM Solutions. Of course, not every small business wants to break into a large supply chain, but for those that do, it’s daunting. All of that changed for the better last year when The Connecticut Supplier Connection was launched and IBM selected The Business Council of Fairfield County to lead the first regional growth partnership of Supplier Connection, a national, multiindustry procurement network. Powered by IBM and residing in the digital “cloud,” Supplier Connection is a free website (www. supplier-connection.net) that directly connects small and diverse businesses directly to the supply chains of Fortune 500 corporations and other large organizations. Small businesses need only fill out profile information once and the information becomes

available to, so far, more than 40 Fortune 500 companies, some of them based in Fairfield and Westchester counties. Since 2011, corporate and organizational buyers have spent almost $8.5 billion with the small and diverse businesses that have registered for free on Supplier Connection. Supplier Connection had already existed for a few years prior, but the partnership with The Business Council of Fairfield County gives local entrepreneurs an edge, as they can receive complementary training on issues related to capital, marketing, sales and related trends. The partnership has also led to events such as The Supplier Connection Growth Summit on May 10 in Stamford. Recognized at the event were companies like Pitney Bowes, the first Connecticutbased corporate member of Supplier Connection and co-chair of the Connecticut Supply Chain Roundtable, which guides the Supplier Connection initiative statewide, along with The Business Council. Pitney Bowes signed a contract with Danburybased Airlink Ground Transportation to receive global employee pick-up and delivery. Airlink had only been in existence for four years when it earned the contract. Two hundred local businesses have already signed up for Supplier Connection in Connecticut alone — we expect that to be 300 by year’s end — and so have corporate buyers. These include Pitney Bowes, Synchrony Financial, Purdue Pharma, Frontier Communications, Avangrid, United Rentals, Nestlé/Nestlé Waters North America, and Sikorsky Aircraft through its new parent Lockheed Martin. Although the Supplier Connection partnership is through The Business Council of Fairfield County, it isn’t limited to just highly local businesses. Companies from neighboring counties also see value in participating. These days, regional is really local and vice versa. In many ways, there›s never been a better time to be a small business in Fairfield and Westchester counties. The Growth Summit is only the first of other such events, but don’t wait for those before getting involved. Resources are available year-round. If you’re a small or diverse business looking to grow, or a large company looking for a vendor to work with, then Supplier Connection is a good place to start. Chris Bruhl is CEO of The Business Council of Fair�ield County and Jennifer Ryan Crozier is IBM’s vice president of corporate citizenship and president of the IBM International Foundation.

Utopus — From page 1

May 16, is based in Westchester and India. It was spun out of work from IBM’s Smarter Energy research team and was launched as a partnership between IBM and Vermont Electric Power Company Inc. Energy orchestration Utopus’ slogan is, “Orchestrating the future of energy today.” Its software platform, MaestrOS, offers analytical tools and insights that can help reduce uncertainty in the electrical grid and guide decision making for a range of potential clients in the energy industry. “If you put the supply of energy and the demand of energy together with a model of the grid, you are able to start to do things much more intelligently,” Visweswariah said. Within the MaestrOS platform, the company offers HyperCast. It’s an application that combines super-localized weather forecasting with machine learning to predict the output of renewable energy generation resources, such as solar and wind, along with demand and load on the grid. To predict renewable energy production, HyperCast needs to be able to predict the weather down to the kilometer and in 10-minute increments. “We’ve got a wind turbine here, or a farm here, and we want to know, what’s the wind at the hub height?” said Ron Ambrosio, chief scientist for Utopus Insights. “Well, that means we need to be able to differentiate that weather model at a finer grain than the traditional National Weather Service.”

KeyBank — From page 1

“There was overlap, but not as much,” he said. “So I don’t think we had as big a reduction as they had upstate.” KeyBank now has 57 total branches in the region, which includes Westchester, Dutchess, Rockland, Ulster, Putnam and Orange counties. First Niagara had only been active in the lower Hudson Valley for half a decade before it was acquired by KeyBank. In 2012, the fast-expanding Buffalo bank completed a $1 billion acquisition of nearly 200 HSBC Bank USA branches, greatly expanding its footprint in lower New York and Connecticut. The bank launched a Tarrytown regional headquarters two years later, where it oversaw 26 branches in the lower Hudson Valley region. Now KeyBank can capitalize on the cus-

“People think of the wind as fickle, people think of clouds as fickle, except we are going to have future energy systems dependent on these things,” Visweswariah said. “And the truth is they are not fickle. They are obeying the laws of physics.” Utopus Insights’ GridPulse application models the current condition of the many individual pieces that make up the electrical grid and predicts each part’s lifespan and probability of a failure. It can calculate the “electrical age” of the transformers, capacitors and even wires and wooden poles that help keep electricity flowing through the grid, helping a utility to maximize capital investments.

ADVANTAGED STARTUP

Utopus Insights doesn’t fit many startup stereotypes. It’s far removed from any folksy garage-based origin story. The company launched with the backing of established companies and leadership with decades of experience in the industry. That’s why Visweswariah calls it an “advantaged startup.” “This is a much more serious venture,” he said. “We’re already up to 30 people. We have 14 PhDs, dozens of patents, many more in the pipeline, industry connections, some of the world experts in machine learning, data mining, weather modeling and so on.” Visweswariah said the company is IBM’s first entrepreneurial startup. About two-thirds of Utopus Insights’ staff are former IBM researchers. Ambrosio was an IBM distinguished engineer and chief technology officer for IBM’s Smarter Energy research. Spinning out the research done at IBM, he said, allows the team to use its experience with

tomer base and business relationships First Niagara built during its time operating in the region, Markey said. Offering services that are more developed than what First Niagara was able to offer will be crucial to that effort, he said. “We’re a bigger bank, a bigger balance sheet, but more importantly, the products we are able to offer is really where the opportunity is,” Markey said. He said KeyBank is seeing strong deposit growth in the region and has beefed up its private banking leadership team. For personal banking clients, Markey cited the bank’s new HelloWallet software, which provides customers with an interface that displays information on all customer accounts, even outside of KeyBank. That’s a new product KeyBank was able to deliver to First Niagara customers. But Markey said First Niagara had offerings that were beneficial to KeyBank as well, such as a more developed residential

a much nimbler approach. Visweswariah added, “We can be laserfocused on the energy industry, whereas IBM is a much broader player.” IBM provided source code and dozens of current and pending patents, along with equipment such as laptops and servers, for an equity stake in the company. The work from IBM that Utopus Insights will build on stretches back 15 years. That includes three years of work with Utopus Insights’ main investor, VELCO, an electric transmission company owned by Vermont’s electric distribution companies. VELCO is also a strategic partner of the startup. Based in Rutland, Vermont, the energy transmission company worked with IBM researchers in the past on a range of topics, including managing distributed energy resources by forecasting weather and renewable generation and demand. Boston Consulting Group is a minority investor and led a feasibility study for IBM before IBM and VELCO launched Utopus. Utopus Insights has joint research and development agreements with VELCO and with the federal Department of Energy’s Bonneville Power Administration in the Pacific Northwest. The company has a seven-year lease on a newly renovated, 4,400-square-foot space at 115 Stevens Ave. on the Mount Pleasant Corporate Campus in Valhalla. The company also has an office in Bengaluru, India.

The energy analytics market is expected to reach $9 billion by 2020, according to the feasibility study completed for IBM. Large companies such as GE, ABB Group

and Schneider Electric have launched energy analytics products and a number of startups have entered the field as well. Utopus Insights’ platform could be a fit for utilities, independent power producers, energy traders, renewable-farm investors and independent system operators, according to Visweswariah. “It’s a huge opportunity and our financial model will be wildly successful if we even capture a small sliver of it,” he said. Beyond financial success, both Visweswariah and Ambrosio said Utopus Insights has a role to play in the future of energy: one where the world transitions to an optimized power grid run on distributed renewable energy. That’s what pushed them to give up prestigious titles at one of the world’s largest tech companies to launch a startup. “We are believers in this transformation that is going to take place,” Ambrosio said. “Not may,” he emphasized, “will take place.” And the company’s industry connections and expertise position it to “influence the direction this future vision is moving toward,” Ambrosio added. That vision is embodied in the company’s name. Visweswariah said some people have interpreted Utopus as a portmanteau of “utility” and “opus.” Others, he said, read it as an opus that will enable an energy utopia. Either interpretation is fine with him, he said. When the company spun off from IBM, it created a mission vision called the “Utopian Values.” Visweswariah also begins each email to Utopus staff with the greeting, “Dear Utopians.” “And it was total coincidence,” Ambrosio said, “that we ended up in Valhalla.”

mortgage product. On the commercial banking side, both in middle markets and small business, KeyBank has “seen a lot of activity that we wouldn’t have had” without the merger, Markey said. “These were good relationships with commercial banking clients that First Niagara had that they brought over to KeyBank. And we were able to introduce products that they didn’t have and as a result we were able to do more for those clients,” he said. He cited KeyBank’s more developed business cash management, foreign exchange product and equipment financing and leasing through Key Equipment Finance. Markey added that KeyBank’s commercial banking group works with Key’s investment bank, Keybanc Capital Markets, to provide a wider range of insights for businesses it works with. In the small-business sector, which

KeyBank defines as businesses with revenues of $30 million and less, the Hudson Valley has the largest backlog of businesses seeking services, such as loans or cash management, across the KeyBank footprint, according to Markey. He said the most important part of the transition was the similar cultures between the two banks, a point KeyBank’s leadership has stressed throughout the acquisition process. Markey said the Cleveland-based bank has a Midwestern culture. While First Niagara’s Buffalo roots don’t quite place it in the Midwest, the bank’s home base was far closer to Cleveland than Manhattan. Markey said this created similar corporate cultures that allowed the banks to come together with less friction. “The numbers are one thing,” he said. “But the culture trumps the numbers. The culture is so important in getting people to work together.”

Ginsburg unveils $100 million apartment project in Yonkers BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

insburg Development Cos. on Tuesday unveiled the latest in its brand of luxury rental apartment buildings with the River Tides at Greystone complex in Yonkers. Valhalla-based developer Martin Ginsburg was joined by county and city officials at a ceremonial ribbon cutting for the $100 million, 330-unit luxury rental building at 1133 Warburton Ave. Some construction work, however, remains to be done on the complex’s two 10-story towers. The building is expected to open for occupancy in June. “In this case, we really had a lot of practice, because we’ve owned this property since the 1970s,” Ginsburg said, “and we went through at least three or four or five design plans and if practice makes perfect, we should be perfect.” Ginsburg Development broke ground on the project, near the city border with Hastings-on-Hudson and overlooking the Greystone Metro-North train station and Hudson River, nearly three years ago. “The south building still has to be completed,” he said, adding that a number of

amenities, including a swimming pool, spa, demonstration kitchen, cafe, game room and outdoor pavilion, are still under construction. The project includes a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom units, many sporting views of the Hudson River and The Palisades. Monthly rents begin at $1,925 for a studio, $2,425 for a one-bedroom, $2,995 for a two bedroom and up to $6,000 for a corner penthouse. Apartments feature stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, bay windows and

terraces. The transit-oriented development features a direct walkway to the Greystone Metro-North station platform. “I always feel my next project is my best, so we think this is our current best,” Ginsburg said. The developer said his company looks forward to completing other projects in Yonkers, a city he referred to as his “home base.” “We feel very positively that Yonkers is moving in a very strong and positive direc-

tion, and I think it’s going to become a special place on the Hudson River,” he said. “It is special now, but it’s going to be even more special in the future and we’re thrilled to play our little part in that.” Just north of the company’s newest development, Ginsburg Development plans to open a $21 million, 55-unit apartment building, 1177@Greystone, later this fall. “River Tides is a shining example of the great things that we’re seeing blossom in our city of Yonkers,” said Yonkers mayor Mike Spano said. The project marks Ginsburg’s third luxury rental development to open in Westchester in the past year. In September, the company opened The Lofts on Saw Mill River, a 66-unit apartment complex on Route 9A in Hastings-on-Hudson. Hudson Square, a $65 million, 188-unit complex on the Ossining riverfront, opened in June. Earlier this year, the development company paid $35.25 million for a 124-unit luxury apartment tower at 34 S. Lexington Ave. in White Plains, which it later rebranded as “The Metro.” Ginsburg Development will soon break ground on Fort Hill, a mixed-use development in Peekskill that will include rental apartments and a restaurant on the former St. Mary’s Convent property.

ANNESE ESTABLISHES WHITE PLAINS OFFICE Annese & Associates Inc., an information technology services company headquartered in Clifton Park, has expanded and consolidated its downstate operation with the relocation of its offices in Brewster and Warwick to a 3,800-square-foot office space in the East Building at 333 Westchester Ave. in White Plains. Annese officials in a press release said the Westchester space more than doubles the size of the company’s lower Hudson Valley office and will accommodate 26 employees and new staff members expected to be added over the next year. They said the move gives the IT services company greater visibility and accessibility across the region and also provides a base for business growth and expansion into New York City, Connecticut and New England. With six offices in the state, Annese reported $90 million in companywide revenue for 2016. The downstate region, formerly served from Annese offices in Putnam and Orange counties, accounted for the second highest in revenue among offices in the last fiscal year, growing 13 percent in year-over-year revenue, according to the company in its 2016 annual report. In addition to its suburban Albany headquarters, the 150-employee, women-owned business also has upstate offices in Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester and Herkimer, the Mohawk Valley city where Annese began in 1970 as a communications technology sales company. “Annese is committed to evolving and innovating as a company and we know that this move into White Plains will have far-reaching effects as it relates to customer engagement, recruitment and outreach,” said Yvonne Annese LoRe, Annese coowner and chairwoman, who spearheads the company’s property acquisition efforts. Annese will debut its new White Plains office to the community when it hosts an office Happy Hour from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. June 15, when guests can tour the space and mingle with the Annese team. Guests are asked to RSVP by June 12 at annese.com/ WhitePlains.

tion to acquire 280 Mamaroneck Ave., an approximately 27,000-square-foot, threestory medical office building in White Plains, according to Houlihan Lawrence Commercial Group. Garry Klein, regional manager of Houlihan Lawrence Commercial Group, brokered the sale for both the buyer and the seller, Medical Office Building of White Plains Inc. The deal closed in April. Edmond DeLaurentis Jr., president of DeLaurentis Management, said the property “fits into the mix of other properties we own and manage in White Plains and we saw this as an opportunity to add to our portfolio and diversify our holdings.” The new owners plan extensive renovations and are evaluating the potential of bringing in a valet service to enhance the tenant and patient experience at the building.

Air Lines Inc., will lay off 28 employees at Stewart International Airport in New Windsor. The company filed a WARN notice with the state Department of Labor on May 5 that blamed the layoffs on the loss of a contract with SkyWest Airlines Inc. Delta Global Services handles staffing needs for airlines and other companies. A Delta spokesperson confirmed the layoffs and said the employees had provided customer service, baggage handling and other flight services as part of the contract. “DGS is working with those employees impacted by this transition to identify other opportunities within DGS as well as other positions at the airport,” the spokesperson said in an email. The layoffs are scheduled to happen by August, according to the company’s notice to the state.

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

TRASH HAULER PLEADS GUILTY IN $2 MILLION SCHEME A trash hauler tripped up by a confidential informant, business partner and his former attorney has admitted to his part in a scheme that bilked customers out of $2 million. Stephen DiSalvo, 60, of Ormond Beach, Florida, pleaded guilty in Westchester County Court on May 11 to one count of grand larceny. DiSalvo was co-operator of ATNM Corp., a solid waste hauler in Briarcliff Manor. He and his partners, Christopher C. Leggio, 57, and Christopher E. Leggio, 21, both of Brewster, forged dump tickets to make it appear as though they were hauling more waste. Then they billed customers for the higher tonnage. They altered more than 3,000 dump tickets from 2010 to 2015, according to District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino Jr. The Leggios previously pleaded guilty to charges for their roles in the scam and are awaiting sentencing. DiSalvo had been caught in a previous trash hauling fraud when he ran A&S DiSalvo Co. In 2000, he was convicted of commingling garbage from the town of Ossining with garbage from commercial customers and billing the town for the entire loads. He was sentenced to five years probation. The county Solid Waste Commission then denied him a license. In 2003, the elder Leggio’s ATNM Corp. bought DiSalvo’s business, including routes, vehicles and equipment, for $730,000. DiSalvo took $20,000 in cash and loaned back $710,000 in exchange for monthly payments of $10,372, according to case documents. County police and the district attorney began a new investigation in 2014 when a confidential informant told the Solid Waste Commission that ATNM was overbilling Universal Environmental Consulting Inc., a broker hired by the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co. to remove waste from 27 A&P stores. Investigators got a court order authorizing them to eavesdrop on four telephone lines. Hundreds of phone calls and fax transmissions were intercepted. Although DiSalvo lives in Florida, surveillance and travel records showed that

Bill Diamond has worked with dozens of banks. But when his company wanted to renovate an aging bowling alley and turn it into Spins Bowl, he chose Tompkins Mahopac Bank.

“They’re easy to work with, they make quick decisions, and they keep the process simple,” says Bill, CEO of Spins Bowl. With the bank’s help, he was able to create a new kind of entertainment venue that appeals to millennials as well as families.

he met the elder Leggio in New York about every two weeks. After Leggio was arrested in 2015, he hired Andrew Quinn, the attorney who had represented DiSalvo in his 2000 case. “Quinn encouraged Leggio to cooperate with the prosecutors,” according to a court filing by DiSalvo’s current attorney, Murray Richman. “The prosecutor negotiated — and then entered into — a cooperation agreement with Quinn on Leggio’s behalf.” Richman said Leggio testified against DiSalvo in front of a grand jury. The grand jury indicted DiSalvo on 40 counts of larceny and forgery, accusing him of stealing more than $20 million from 20 customers. The A&P subcontract, according to the indictment, brought in more than $1 million in ill-gotten gains. Some other customers who were bilked include BioMed Realty LP,

Mack-Cali Realty Corp., Concordia College and Ron Par Construction Corp. The forged and altered dump tickets were for waste transfer stations operated by Waste Connections Inc. in West Nyack, Covanta Holding Corp. in Mamaroneck and Mount Kisco, City Carting Inc. in Somers, Waste Management of New York in Yonkers and Wheelabrator Technologies Inc. in Peekskill. DiSalvo could be sentenced for up to 15 years in state prison, according to the prosecutor. His next court date is Aug. 16.

WALLACE AND COMPANY SUED FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT

Mount Vernon City Councilman Andre Wallace and his company, Creative Direction Construction & Design, have been sued for $4.6 million for allegedly mishandling two subcontracts. Yonkers Contracting Co. accused them of breach of contract, in a lawsuit filed May 5 in Westchester Supreme Court. Wallace responded in a telephone inter-

view that he plans to counter-sue. “Why don’t they just make it $10 million? It’s ridiculous,” he said. “They kicked me off the job because I charged them for change orders they refused to pay.” Westchester County hired Yonkers Contracting in 2010 to expand the New Rochelle Wastewater Treatment Plant for $121.8 million. A second contract was awarded in 2012 for $94.2 million. Yonkers Contracting hired Creative Direction to do masonry, carpentry and other work for $4.4 million. Wallace diverted payments that were meant for Creative’s subcontractors, laborers and suppliers, the lawsuit says, and Creative failed to maintain records, such as certified field payroll reports. Yonkers Contracting claims it finished Creative’s work and paid Creative’s union benefits and suppliers. The company says Creative refused to reimburse it for costs incurred in finishing the jobs. The complaint does not specify what portions of the two subcontracts were not

performed by Creative. Wallace said his company was kicked out when it had finished 93 percent of the work on the first subcontract and 50 percent on the second subcontract. “They try every way they can to get around the MWBE requirements,” he said, referring to the county’s minority and women business enterprise program. “Once a minority contractor gets to a point, they find a reason to take you off the job.” Yonkers Contracting also sued Westchester Fire Insurance Co. for $1.7 million for allegedly refusing to reimburse the company under a performance bond.

THREE CHANGE PLEAS TO GUILTY IN FRAUD SCHEMES Three members of an extended family with ties to Orange County who were accused of conspiring in a rich man, poor man series of frauds that allegedly netted $20 million have entered guilty pleas. The 15-member Rubin Organization — Irving Rubin, his wife, sons, brothers and in-laws, as well as an unrelated lawyer and a real estate appraiser — were charged in 2014 with mortgage fraud and welfare fraud. The 21-count indictment accuses the organization of bank fraud, making false statements to lenders, theft of public money, identify theft and wire fraud. All pleaded not guilty. In the rich man part of the alleged conspiracy, the organization obtained 20 loans from 2004 to 2014, secured by properties in Brooklyn, Harlem and Orange County. Family members inflated their incomes and assets to get the loans, according to an indictment, which had been filed by former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. Most of the loans went into default and most of the debts were not repaid, the government says, and the loan money was used for personal credit card debts, home mortgage payments and real estate projects on which they earned rental income. In the poor man scheme, they allegedly claimed poverty to get Medicaid, food stamps and Home Energy Assistance Program benefits. The government identified Yehuda Rubin, of Kiryas Joel in Orange County, as an organizer. He was accused of participating in 10 fraudulent loans. In 2006, for example, he got a $1.05 million mortgage from National City Bank on a property at 53 W. 119 St. in Manhattan and a second mortgage in 2007 for another $350,000, according to the government. The indictment says that he falsely claimed the property was his primary residence and that he and his wife, Rachel, a co-defendant, earned $31,000 a month. But in claiming $43,863 in Medicaid benefits, according to the indictment, they declared income ranging from $180 to $720 a month. In February, Yehuda Rubin changed his plea to guilty of conspiracy to defraud the U.S.

County executives want tax savings from schools

or years, three Hudson Valley county executives say, the counties have been finding ways to consolidate local government services, so they are miffed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s shared services initiative. Cuomo recently mandated that county officials develop plans with local governments to cut property taxes by eliminating duplicative services. “This was a political ploy by the gover-

nor to divert attention from what is happening in the state,” Westchester County Executive Robert Astorino said this morning at a Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress forum at Pace University in Pleasantville. The problem is schools, Astorino, Rockland County Executive Ed Day and Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell agreed. School taxes account for two-thirds of the typical property tax burden, yet schools were excluded from the initiative. “If you’re going to go whale watch-

ing, you have to go where the whales are,” Astorino said. “The schools are the whales.” “The big numbers are in the schools,” Odell echoed. Every county executive must convene a panel of officials from every city, village and town. They may also invite school district representatives to participate. Odell said counties have taken the lead on shared services for years and they have found many innovative ways to consolidate government activities.

“But there are so many state mandates,” Day said. “It’s like we’re treading water in choppy waters. Things are forced on us by the state.” Cuomo and the state Legislature should “look in the mirror,” Astorino said, if they want to find savings and lower the property taxes. “The way the issue was rolled out,” said Day, “was an insult to the executives of county governments.” — Bill Heltzel

New executive director for Lifting Up Westchester

ifting Up Westchester, a nonprofit social services agency based in White Plains, has appointed Anahaita Kotval, an attorney and Tarrytown resident, as its new executive director. Kotval is the chief operating officer and general counsel of Inspirica Inc. in Stamford, a nonprofit that finds permanent housing for the homeless. She will join Lifting Up Westchester, which provides shelter for the homeless and meals to needy residents of the county, on May 23. She succeeds Paul Anderson-Winchell, who is retiring after 11 years as the agency’s executive director.

An honors graduate of Brown University and Harvard Law School, Kotval was a prosecutor for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission before joining Royal Bank of Scotland, where she specialized in securities regulation in her 13 years there. She last served as managing director and general counsel of RBS Global Banking & Markets, formerly Greenwich Capital. Kotval joined Inspirica in 2011 as chief operating officer and general counsel. Before her move to the nonprofit sector, she was an active volunteer and board member of My Sister’s Place, a battered women’s shelter, and Pro Bono Partnership

Get On Your Mat For Mental Health

in Westchester. She received Pro Bono’s Volunteer of the Year award in 2003 and its Volunteer of the Decade award in 2007. Helen Hamlyn, president of the Lifting Up Westchester board of directors, called Kotval “the natural choice” for the executive director’s position to emerge from a search for Anderson-Winchell’s successor conducted by the Support Center for Nonprofit Management in Manhattan. “Anahaita brings years of nonprofit experience, superior business and legal acumen and tremendous passion to the position,” she said in the Monday announcement. Kotval, a lifelong Westchester County

resident, said that “having a safe, stable and affordable place to call home is the foundation on which all other economic and social advancement can be built. I was drawn to Lifting Up Westchester because its programs are centered on helping clients to achieve this housing stability and the selfsufficiency that follows.” Founded in 1979, Lifting Up Westchester operates eight community-based programs and serves approximately 4,000 men, women and children each year, serving 140,000 meals to the hungry and providing 28,000 nights of shelter for the homeless. — John Golden

Wary borrowers avoiding reverse mortgage market BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

s the baby boomers become the next wave of senior citizens, it is easy to assume that they would be interested in pursuing reverse mortgages, a loan product specifically designed for those who are 62 or older. But that has not quite happened. Reverse mortgages enable a borrower to access their home equity and defer the payment on the loan until they sell or move out of the residence. In the event of the borrower’s death, the heirs are responsible for repaying the loan. A homeowner can receive money for the reverse mortgage loan either in a lump-sum payment, monthly payments or as a line of credit. A homeowner is still responsible for property tax payments and insurance, as well as home maintenance and other residential obligations. The most prominent type of reverse mortgage is the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, or HECM, which is insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Some state housing finance agencies offer their own proprietary programs, such as the Reverse Annuity Mortgage Program offered by the Connecticut Housing Finance Agency (CHFA) in partnership with the Connecticut Department of Social Services. The Connecticut program “provides monthly cash payments that can be used to cover a variety of services connected with long-term care needs that allow the homeowner or joint owner to remain in the home,” said Lisa C. Kidder, the housing finance agency’s director of communications. Applicants must be 70 or older and are prescreened by the Connecticut Department of Aging to be sure they meet the criteria. “There are no outside lenders involved,” Kidder said. “A representative of an independent social services agency assesses the applicant’s long-term care needs. It’s important to note that this program serves a very specific need, and in the last five years, CHFA has closed eight loans.” Reverse mortgages have weathered some controversy over the years, ranging from news stories regarding foreclosure cases against seniors who defaulted on the terms of their loans to a wider misperception that lenders automatically seize the

property upon the death of the borrower. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a federal regulatory agency, received 206 complaints related to reverse mortgages in 2012. By 2016, the agency received 562 complaints, a 172 percent increase over a four-year period. In June 2015, the agency issued a consumer advisory titled “Don’t Be Misled by Reverse Mortgage Advertising.” Without naming specific lenders, the agency faulted advertising and marketing materials from reverse-mortgage providers that gave the impression that the product was a win-win solution for seniors. “Many ads, however, didn’t mention that seniors could lose their homes if they don’t satisfy the loan requirements, such as paying property taxes or homeowners insurance,” the agency warned. “Seniors said the ads made reverse mortgages look like a good way to travel and enjoy retirement while they were still young and active. Yet Americans are living longer, more active lives than ever before. Reverse mortgage borrowers can outlive their loan funds by borrowing without careful planning.” In December 2016, the agency enacted civil penalties against three reverse mortgage companies — American Advisors Group, Reverse Mortgage Solutions and Aegean Financial — for deceptive advertising. The problems associated with reverse mortgage can be mirrored in the fairly

low origination volume for the product. The number of Home Equity Conversion Mortgages originated in the U.S. have been in a decline since their fiscal year 2009 peak of 114,692. For fiscal year 2017, as of April, only 31,864 were originated. A lack of interest has kept the product out of the offering lineup at The Westchester Bank in White Plains. “This is not something that is popular with our client base,” said John M. Tolomer, president and CEO, whose bank is also absent from the traditional residential mortgage market. “We don’t have any plans to offer this in the foreseeable future.” Many older Americans are not convinced that the product is safe. In May 2016, the American College of Financial Services released the results of a reverse mortgage survey of 1,000 people between the ages of 55 and 75 with at least $100,000 in investable assets and $100,000 in home equity. Only 14 percent of respondents said they considered pursuing this loan, while just one respondent reported having a reverse mortgage. When asked how the reverse mortgage worked, less than one-third of respondents could correctly answer the question. Rick Kalnins, reverse mortgage specialist at Middletown, Connecticut-based Liberty Bank, acknowledged that the product’s image could benefit from better marketing. “We need to dispel that this is not a loan of last resort and that it can provide a viable financial solution,” he said. From a lenders perspective, reverse

mortgages require much more planning ahead than the traditional home loan. Extensive financial counseling on the pros and cons of the loan are required for the borrower and, when applicable, that person’s family. On some occasions, the borrower’s financial planner and attorney are also involved. “It takes a very, very long time period to get it done — about eight to 10 months,” said Brent Nyitray, director of capital markets for Stamford-based iServe Residential Lending, which does not offer this type of loan. “Most loan originators prefer not to do a reverse mortgage if they had the choice between that and a normal mortgage.” Still, there are financial institutions that gladly provide this product. Brian L. Mahone, vice president and regional manager at Washington Trust Mortgage Co. — which is represented locally with a Darien office — said the reverse mortgage is “not a program for everyone,” although he said there were a number of inquiries being made on behalf of potential borrowers. “Most of my referrals come through attorneys for the people and from family members,” he said, adding that some older customers ask about the product with the branch tellers. “Our tellers are a little more intimate with our borrowers.” Mahone said that one key selling point for the product involves the older homeowner’s ability to remain in their residence. “If you tell someone that they have to sell their home and move into a two-bedroom apartment, that is not going to appeal to a lot of people,” he said. John Luddy, vice president of reverse lending at Avon-based Norcom Mortgage, agreed. “When you have a reverse mortgage, you always own your home,” he said. “Many adult children used the reverse mortgage so their parent can stay at home and not go into a nursing facility. If you go into a convalescent home, your money is gone within a year.” Luddy also stated that his Fairfield County customers use their reverse mortgages to help keep on top of property taxes. “I have clients in Fairfield County whose property taxes equal the amount that they paid for their homes in the 1960s,” he said. His company will soon be expanding across the border into New York to take advantage of a potentially “booming” reverse mortgage market, he said.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Pleasing the bank We need to get a loan to tide us over as we start to ramp up to our busy season. All the banks have been calling us saying they want our business, and so far we’ve talked to a couple. When we get into the details, we ﬁnd they are hard to please. While the local reps say they want our business, the higher-ups don’t seem so eager. One bank said they didn’t want our business, another said they needed more information. Is it worth it going through the process? If we don’t get a loan it could be really tough managing cash until all our clients pay up. THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Understand what the bank wants. Be prepared to fill out a lot of forms. Ask for a realistic loan amount and repayment terms. Back up what you say with a business plan. You need to have business experience. If you’re a startup with less than two years of history, getting any bank loan will be

close to impossible. You’ll probably do better getting a personal loan and personally lending money to the company until there’s some history to show. Pick a bank that’s right for you. Credit unions and community banks can be easier to deal with, but generally offer smaller loan amounts. Commercial banks come

in lots of sizes and have various optimum client targets. Some banks specialize in real estate loans, others in working capital, while others get excited about funding equipment leases. Private funding sources typically offer higher interest rates, but less paperwork and faster approval. The SBA backs up loan risks, but the loans still will have to come from the local, regional or national banks that put up the funds initially. If the SBA gets involved expect both additional paperwork and added processing time. Show that you can pay back the loan — by having a history of doing so. Banks look at both personal and business credit history. If you pay on time, that’s good. If you have a lot of late payments, that’s not good. If you owe taxes, clean that up first.

A business without liquidity is not sustainable

Small Business Financing from $500K to $5MM 44 Business Capital is an SBA lender providing financing to companies whose needs cannot be met by traditional bank credit standards.

Get an education before you get started. Discuss the process with your banker, from initial short-form application to final approval. Ask for a critique of your company’s current financial position. Pay attention and don’t get defensive. In today’s banking environment; it’s all about crossing “t’s” and dotting “i’s.” Expect to slog through multiple requests for documentation — both personal and business. Expect delays, as the banker sends paperwork forward, a credit analyst puts the package together, the credit committee reviews the loan and requests for additional information come back down the chain. Ask your banker and accountant for advice on how much funding to seek. This is governed more by what you can afford than by what your company needs. The banks are in business to lend AND get paid back. They want to know your company will be able to easily handle repayment, even if some thigns don't go according to plan. If you’re concerned about cash flow, ask for a line of credit rather than a term loan, which gives you flexibility on how much to pay each month. Submit a detailed business plan with personal and business financials and resumes of key players. Provide history and current status on the business. Show how the loan will be used. Conservatively estimate financial results. Provide information on obvious things that could go wrong, how you would handle them and still pay back the loan on time. LOOKING FOR A GOOD BOOK?

BURKE HOLDS ROAD RACE AND WALK

DOCUMENTARY BY PACE STUDENTS PREMIERES

The Burke Rehabilitation Hospital held the “Heels & Wheels 5K Road Race & Walk” at its Mamaroneck Avenue campus in White Plains on May 7 and, as part of the festivities, gave the Jenny Lewis Memorial Award to Heidi Spitz, director of outpatient neuropsychology at Burke. The award is named in honor of Jenny Lewis Catalanello, Burke’s former chief development officer who passed away in 2015. It is given to an individual who best exemplifies the generous and giving spirit for which she is remembered. There were events for participants of all ages and abilities, such as those in racing chairs and hand cycles. One of the running/walking events, for example, had 156 participants whose times to the finish line ranged from six to 23 minutes.

A documentary created by students at Pace University, which examines the impact of development on Florida’s ecosystem had its premier at the Jacob Burns Film Center in Pleasantville on May 10. In addition, the film has been released for worldwide viewing on YouTube. The title is “Ridge to Ranch to River to Reef: Florida’s Conservation Connections.” Students in the documentary film class spent their spring break filming in Florida, and covered various parts of the state from

the Gulf Coast to the interior. The film looks at the continuing population increase in Florida, with about 1,000 people moving there every day, and about 175,000 acres undergoing new development each year. Pace students Shakira Evans, Nicholas Farris, Allison Fennik, Camilla Klævold, Zhenming Liu, Megan Meyer, Felicia Robcke, Rachel Weiss and Kelly Whritenour worked on the ﬁlm in the course taught by Maria Luskay.

LEADERSHIP WESTCHESTER PLANS CELEBRATION James Eyring with a barred owl at last year’s Birds of Prey Day.

SOARING TOWARD 25TH BIRDS OF PREY DAY Twenty-five years ago, Green Chimneys, the nonprofit that provides educational and therapeutic programs for special needs children, staged a Birds of Prey Day as a fundraiser to build an aviary. It has evolved to also be a full-day celebration of birds and the environment that annually attracts several thousand visitors to the campus in Putnam County. The 25th anniversary will be celebrated June 4 with free-flying raptors, live animal demonstrations and the release of a rehabilitated bird with the help of a graduating Green Chimneys student among the highlights. Among the environmental experts on hand will be Jim Fowler of Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom, Jonathan Wood of The Raptor Project and James Eyring of the Pace Environmental Center. More information on the events page of greenchimneys.org.

More than 100 attended a panel discussion titled “Nonprofit Leaders with Impact” hosted by Leadership Westchester, a program of Volunteer New York!, which is designed to help leaders assume positions of influence and impact in the county, particularly as board members of nonprofit organizations. The panelists were: Cora Greenberg, executive director, Westchester Children’s Association; Christian Philemon, executive director, Youth Shelter Program of Westchester Inc.; Kevin Plunkett, deputy Westchester County executive; and Sherry Saturno, CEO, Elder Advocacy. They discussed their mission and their impact as local leaders. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Leadership Westchester program. Almost 400 community leaders have completed the nine-month curriculum. On June 20, there will be a graduation ceremony for the Leadership Westchester Class of 2017, followed by the 20thanniversary event. The graduation ceremony and Alumnus of the Year Award presentation will take place at the YoFi Digital Media Arts Center in Yonkers.
