eljamal’s legal setbacks mount to neaRly $10m BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

estchester County businessman Sammy Eljamal’s legal troubles stemming from a bitter 3-year-old battle with partners in Shell gas station businesses in the region escalated this month when a White Plains jury found him liable for $4.75 million in damages to an employee whom Eljamal falsely accused of making death threats against him and his family. The jury’s damages award, together with attorney’s fees tacked on by state Supreme Court Justice Lester B. Adler and a $5 million judgment in a separate case related to control of eight Shell gas stations in Connecticut, leaves the 39-year-old Purchase resident on the hook for nearly $10 million. Those financial blows came soon after a state appellate court in April dismissed slander and libel charges brought by Eljamal against Scarsdale investor James Weil, a majority owner and Eljamal’s business partner in a $43.3 million deal in 2010 to acquire 88 Shell gas station properties and leases in Westchester, Long Island and New York City. Weil and another majority owner in the Shell businesses, Silverman Realty Group Inc. chairman Leon Silverman, two years ago ousted Eljamal as a managing partner after Eljamal waged an unsuccessful court battle to block his removal. In a 12-day civil trial, a state Supreme Court jury on May 14 awarded the $4.75 million in damages to Brent Coscia, general manager at New York

the boys of summer, kings of the long island sound John Ambrose and his unique, seasonal restaurant resorts

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

he Pier Restaurant and Tiki Bar occupies a corner near a dock on the Long Island Sound where the Playland boardwalk ends. The long tiki bar has a thatched roof with leaves like giant pointed banana peels or yellowed corn stalks that don’t bend in the wind the way grass would. They are more wood than they are leaf and look as if they could withstand the force of a hammer. Those sitting on bar stools with their backs to the small indoor area have a 180-degree view of the water, stretching from a nature sanctuary and the Playland log flume on the left over to the county beach, Rye Town Park and Oakland Beach on the right. John Ambrose, who co-owns the restaurant, was in shorts, a fedora and a pastel golf shirt on a recent afternoon just days after Tiki Bar opened for spring. Tiki, and Seaside Johnnie’s, its sister restaurant just down the coastline, are two of only a few Westchester restaurants that are seasonal and link their success directly to sun and beach weather. There is indoor seating at Tiki, but almost no one eats inside except during the most humid days of summer, either to sit in the air conditioning or because all of the outdoor seating is occupied. When it’s warm, the day crowd spills over from Playland’s outer rim and orders seafood dishes like a Maine lobster roll or fried scallops from cartoonishly large plastic-laminated menus. Steel-drum music plays in the background. At dusk, it becomes a lively nightspot, with live music and crowds sipping bright tropical drinks with chunks of pineapple as a garnish. A common refrain from customers is they don’t feel like they’re in Westchester there. It feels more like vacation, they say, as if Playland Parkway had pushed them through a wormhole on Purchase Street and transported them to a Caribbean getaway or Floridian vacation destination. “I tell them, ‘I saved you the airfare,’” Ambrose said. It was a sunny day in the mid-70s, but

he recoiled when a customer mentioned rain was forecast for tomorrow. “That’s a dirty, four-letter word to me,” he said with a laugh. He already knew about the forecast. He checks forecasts on television, radio and on his phone constantly. At night he predicts the weather for the following day and decides whether to reduce his seafood orders, which he places daily. If the forecast is especially bad, he’ll put a reduced staff on duty anticipating sparse crowds. Whereas a 12-month restaurant might see a loss of business of about 5 percent due to bad weather, a downpour could mean a swing of as much as 80 percent for Ambrose’s seasonal spots. It was the week before the unofficial start of summer, Memorial Day, and Playland was yet to open on weekdays. Although the restaurants had just recently opened their doors, the preparations had been underway since March, when a seemingly endless winter was persisting. The buildings were repainted, much of the wood was refinished and the menus from last year were assessed, analyzed and modified. The

wine list is also rewritten annually. “Every year there seems to be more flavors du jour,” he said. Both bars have to be entirely restocked each year as alcohol cannot be stored in the offseason. The restaurants were both preparing for warmer weather and bigger crowds. Through the summer season, Tiki Bar will have about 180 employees and Seaside’s staff will be roughly two-thirds that size. You could take the 15-minute walk from Tiki to Seaside, down the Playland boardwalk – past the familiar spot where Tom Hanks made a wish on a Zoltar machine in the movie “Big” – and along the beach through Rye Town Park. Seaside, which sits on a perch overlooking Oakland Beach, is more of a traditional restaurant. Its menu caters to a more traditional, sit-down clientele. There are items like a seafood kebob and a combination dinner platter, and on most nights during the summer there is a dedicated sushi chef. The restaurant is in a retrofitted 100-year-old building with unique Spanish ceramic tile roofing.

Seaside operates two concession stands on the beach itself and its daytime crowd is often parkgoers and beach families. At night, Seaside has a regular dinner crowd – and on Wednesdays and Fridays the outdoor seating has a clear view of the Playland fireworks being shot across the bay near Tiki Bar. Seaside brings back many of the same staff members each spring, even after being closed for half the year. Ambrose said he works with his longtime employees to place them in other restaurants owned by acquaintances during winter with the understanding they’ll come back once the weather warms up. Ambrose has spent 40 years in the restaurant business and formerly ran the Crab Shanty in Mamaroneck from 1979 until 2004. Prior to that, he worked on City Island, where his partner, Sam Chernin, still owns several restaurants – The Sea Shore, Sammy’s Fish Box and Sammy’s Shrimp Box. It’s a whole different game running a restaurant that closes for fall and winter. “A seasonal restaurant is a more exacting science,” Ambrose said. In the early months of spring, when the cold weather finally breaks, Ambrose said he starts looking forward to the first day the restaurants will open. He, his staff and regular customers look at Tiki and Seaside as something distinctly summer – the same way a baseball fan might anticipate opening day. When the doors open, he tries to take a step back and enjoy it and perhaps not think about the weather. At least for a few moments. “I would not trade my locations for any other restaurant locations in New York,” he said. “This is almost a wellness center. When you leave here, whatever weight was on your shoulders when you came in is gone.”

electric capacity zone heads to federal court BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

new pricing plan that could increase Hudson Valley electric bills by as much as 13 percent is heading to federal court, with opponents trying to zap the plan altogether. Under a new electric capacity zone that went into effect May 1, energy bills in the lower part of the state are expected to increase by roughly 6 percent for residential customers and 10 percent for industrial ratepayers. The New York State Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities in the state, and Dutchess County-based Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. filed suit against the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to delay, modify or cancel the zone altogether. PSC Chairwoman Audrey Zibelman said the zones violated the Federal Power Act, which dictates that wholesale energy prices be “just and reasonable.” “We have taken this unusual action of going to court because the FERC is taking an action that will result in consumers being financially harmed without any real remedy,” she said. The capacity zone is a special-pricing

plan proposed by the New York Independent System Operator, which said allowing powergenerating companies to charge more to distributors like Con Edison during peak usage periods would eventually push those companies to build power plants and infrastructure in the region. Central Hudson and other critics of the zone have said there are no guarantees the zones will spur generator development in the area and even if successful would cause a short-term burden of as much as $280 million in new costs over the next year alone. The company and others say a better solution is investing in transmitter technology that would help better distribute surplus energy from upstate down to higher-demand regions in New York City and the downstate region. There is an existing “bottleneck” in the Albany region, opponents say, that prevents the ample generators upstate from adequately siphoning electricity to the usage-intense downstate area, particularly during highneed times such as the hottest days of summer. During the FERC hearing period, PSC and Central Hudson each petitioned for a phase-in period that would spread out the impact of any rate increases over several

years. The FERC denied those requests and the petitioning entities appealed – but the federal agency hasn’t ruled on the appeal while auctions that will determine future rates are expected next month. In the lawsuits filed, opponents of the zone call for a stay on auctions.

“We have taken this unusual action of going to court because the FERC is taking an action that will result in consumers being financially harmed without any real remedy.” — Audrey Zibelman James P. Laurito, president of Central Hudson, said in a statement that the company was forced to pursue legal action May 12 when its previous petitions to the FERC to rehear the rulings on the new zone went unanswered.

“We believe the new capacity zone will not address the energy issues we face in lower New York state, and in fact has already caused irreparable harm by costing our customers millions of dollars,” he said. The new capacity zone is the fourth in the state, according to the PSC. The new zone affects ratepayers that are customers of Central Hudson, Con Edison in Westchester, Goshen-based NYSEG Corp. and the Orange and Rockland power company. The capacity zone has gone into effect after a rough winter, when high demand and a spike in the cost of natural gas caused electricity bill increases of 44 percent to as much as 130 percent, according to PSC figures. The PSC anticipates higher-than-normal prices for consumers this summer regardless of the burden of the new capacity zone, with the futures market for electricity showing a 20 percent hike over last year’s June through September costs, the commission said. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has responded to the suits by setting a schedule for the FERC to reply later this month. The court will then hear motions and petitions June 3 at the Thurgood Marshall U.S. Courthouse in Manhattan. Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinari filed a legal brief in support of delaying the zone.

Rye developer plans 150-room hotel in Yonkers BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

A Rye real estate investment and development company plans to build a $15 million, 150-room hotel on property it owns on Tuckahoe Road in Yonkers. The prospective developer, Alfred Weissman Real Estate L.L.C., recently gained support for the project from the Yonkers Industrial Development Agency board, which approved approximately $923,000 in mortgage and sales tax exemptions and agreed to negotiate a property tax abatement for the development. A Weissman company affiliate will build a five-story, 188,000-square-foot hotel on a vacant parcel at 555 Tuckahoe Road. The site adjoins the POP Displays USA plant at the same address. The developer in its IDA application estimated the hotel will create 50 permanent positions ranging in pay from $22,000 to $100,000 annually, as well as 200 temporary construction jobs. The Weissman company

expects to spend $12 million on construction and $3 million in fit-out costs. The Yonkers IDA board approved an estimated $270,000 mortgage tax exemption for the developer and an estimated $653,250 sales tax exemption for construction purchases. The IDA also agreed to negotiate a property tax abatement agreement. “With two other hotels already in various stages of development within the past year alone, this is a strong indicator of the city’s growing attraction as a destination for business and leisure travel,” Yonkers Mayor Michael Spano, who also serves as IDA board chairman, said in a press release. “It’s the business community casting a vote of confidence in the city’s favor.” The property is in an area zoned for commercial, storage and light manufacturing uses. The Yonkers City Council recently amended that zone designation to include hotels as a special permit use, according to city officials. The project still will require approval by the Yonkers Planning Board. The Weissman organization told city officials the hotel will be operated under a national brand. Principals at Weissman Real Estate could not be reached for comment at press time.

companies have closed on their third jointventure commercial property purchase in the last 18 months. RM MAG Westmore L.L.C. paid $800,000 to acquire a vacant six-story, 50,000-square-foot office/flex building at 121 Westmoreland Ave. The new owner is a partnership of principals of Robert Martin Co. L.L.C. in Elmsford and MAG Real Estate Advisors Inc. in Chappaqua. Jeremy Frank, director of acquisitions at Robert Martin Co., in a press release said the owners are considering “a wide variety of adaptive reuses” for the property, which is about a half-mile from the White Plains Metro-North Railroad station. Michael Grossman, principal of MAG Real Estate Advisors, noted the building features loft-type space with high ceilings, efficient floor plates and loading accessibility that, combined with its location, “make it appealing for a variety of uses, including office, showroom, studio, storage and multifamily.”

Houlihan Lawrence partners with bank

Houlihan Lawrence, the high-end residential real estate firm based in Bronxville, recently announced a new partnership with Thoroughbred Mortgage, an independent mortgage bank based in Rye Brook and licensed in New York and Connecticut.

Formed as a joint venture of Houlihan Lawrence Inc. and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Thoroughbred Mortgage since September 2013 has been owned by Silvermine Ventures L.L.C. in Rye Brook. Houlihan Lawrence officers in a press release said a Thoroughbred loan officer has been assigned to each of Houlihan Lawrence’s 91 offices in the region to provide homebuyers a one-stop shopping experience that includes a full menu of fixed and adjustable-rate loan products and up to 25 percent savings on title services and closing costs. “At Houlihan Lawrence, we are always looking for opportunities to make the buying process even easier for our clients and our affiliation with Thoroughbred Mortgage is designed to do just that,” said Stephen Meyers, CEO of Houlihan Lawrence. Dan Duggan, president of Thoroughbred Mortgage, said company executives “recognize that in recent years, the mortgage process has become increasingly challenging and our team is committed to providing strategic and timely guidance and assistance every step of the way.” In addition to partnering with Houlihan Lawrence, Thoroughbred Mortgage will extend its services to homebuyers throughout New York and Connecticut.

BOMA Westchester lauds two forces in health care real estate

he Westchester chapter of the Building Owners and Managers Association honored two Bronxbased organizations reshaping Westchester County’s health care landscape at the chapter’s 23rd annual Hall of Honor Awards Dinner on May 8. Montefiore Medical Center and Simone Development Cos. were recognized for their contributions to Westchester’s economy at the annual gathering at Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown. Montefiore in 2013 acquired the bankrupt Sound Shore Health System’s hospitals in Mount Vernon and New Rochelle and its New Rochelle nursing home. The academic medical center in the Bronx this summer is expected to complete an agreement that would add White Plains Hospital to its metropolitan health system. Montefiore last year also purchased a 300,000-square-foot office complex from Kraft Foods in Tarrytown for administrative and back office operations. About 850 workers are employed there. Formerly headquartered in New Rochelle, Simone Development Cos. last year began construction of an 85,000-square-foot medical office building at 3030 Westchester Avenue in the company’s Harrison Executive Park in Purchase. The development, done in partnership with Fareri Associates L.P. of Greenwich, Conn., has been designed for and leased to WESTMED Medical Group. The association also presented its annual Best of BOMA Signature Awards for excellence in property management. This year’s awards and winners were: Tenant Fit Out: Xylem Inc., Reckson Executive Park in Rye Brook. Creative Real Estate Deal of the Year: Scarsdale Medical Group, Saxon Woods Corporate Center in Harrison. Signature Building Team of the Year: RPW Group’s Robert P. Weisz, Lorraine DeMaria, Nik Ilic, Dan Hannon and Itamar Simoes, and RPW’s leasing agents at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank, Glenn Walsh and Larry Ruggieri, for their work at 1133 Westchester Ave. in White Plains. BOMA Westchester President’s Award was presented to the chapter’s founding members, Joel Cardillo, Bill Friedman, Denis Guerin and Tony Lifrieri. – John Golden

Standing up, again, for women veterans BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

job fair, legal services and health screenings are all on the agenda when the second annual edition of an event designed to help women veterans transition back to civilian life is held next month in Tarrytown. “Stand Up for Women Veterans of the United States Armed Forces,” also considered a daylong celebration of women veterans, will be held June 13 at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Tarrytown. Designed for veterans of all ages and all branches of service, Stand Up is sponsored by Family Services of Westchester, Westchester Community College and the Women’s Research and Education Fund, in collaboration with the United States Department of Labor Women’s Bureau. It is presented by the Lanza Family Investment in Veterans Empowerment. The program grew out of a desire to address the specific needs of women returning from service, with last year’s event at WCC offering everything from information on navigating the higher-education system

Fuel Distributors L.L.C. in White Plains. An Eljamal associate, Greene County resident Bryan Orser, was held liable for $225,260 for his roles in the series of incidents that prompted Coscia’s lawsuit. A longtime owner and operator of gas stations and convenience stores in Westchester, the lower Hudson Valley and Fairfield County, Conn., Eljamal also supplies gas to numerous stations in the region as the owner of Wholesale Fuels in Thornwood. In 2012, Westchester County officials awarded Eljamal a food concessions contract at Westchester County Airport, where he operates three restaurants, a Dunkin’ Donuts franchise and the airport terminal newsstand. The jury sided with Coscia in his claims that Eljamal filed a false criminal complaint against him with Harrison police in 2011 and has engaged in a continuing pattern of “malicious behavior” in an effort to force Coscia out of his job, inflict financial and emotional harm and damage his reputation in the fuel oil industry. That behavior, according to Coscia and court documents, included a series of “spoofing” incidents in which “inappropriate” messages were sent to Coscia’s business associates in his name, magazine and porn site subscriptions were ordered without his knowledge and food and flowers supposedly

to understanding credit scores to securing safe, affordable housing. “We felt it went very well, in spite of the weather,” said Camille Murphy, the executive director of the Women’s Research and Education Fund. She added that although last year’s event was held on a day with a particularly rough storm, “We got a lot of good feedback.”

Exit surveys, Murphy said, helped the organizers tailor the programming for this edition. In response to suggestions, for example, the event is being held within one indoor site instead of in several buildings on the college campus. Murphy noted that legal services proved the most popular offering, “the most attend-

ordered by Coscia were delivered to the New York Fuel Distributors office. “One day we had pizza delivered,” Coscia said after the verdict. “One day we had Chinese food delivered.” Coscia said he has been the victim of spoofing – a technique to disguise the sender of information as someone else – by phone, email and text messages.

deteriorated between Eljamal and his business partners and employee. A Harrison town judge that fall found Coscia not guilty after the defendant produced phone records showing he never made the alleged call to Eljamal. The order of protection was lifted. At the jury trial, Eljamal and Orser “stuck to their story all the way, and you can see the result,” Coscia said. Coscia in court documents also described being stalked at work and at home, which left him and his family fearful for their safety. In another incident, his Thornwood office was trashed; the jury in its verdict ordered Orser to pay $250 for personal property damage. Coscia said he was satisfied with the nearly $5 million damages award. “Considering what these guys did, I think the punishment fits the crime,” he said. Since the criminal trial in Harrison, Coscia said, he has spent about $100,000 in attorney and expert witness fees and another $5,000 in expenses. Eljamal’s false reports in 2011 to an oil industry trade publication and business associates that Coscia had been fired have “definitely had an effect” on his reputation, he said. “I’ve been the butt of a lot of jokes by people in the industry.” Coscia’s attorney in White Plains, Marc S. Oxman, said the damages award “is very high. In my view, it demonstrates that the jury was displeased by Mr. Eljamal’s conduct.”

“Considering what these guys did, I think the punishment fits the crime.” — Plaintiff Brent Coscia

Coscia claimed Eljamal used a spoofing service in June 2011 to show Harrison police that he had received a phone call from Coscia, whom he accused of threatening his life and family. Orser claimed to have overheard their phone conversation. Coscia, a resident of West Haven, Conn., was charged with aggravated harassment. Eljamal obtained a temporary order of protection against him that effectively barred him from entering the company’s Thornwood office. New York Fuel Distributors moved its operations from Eljamal’s Thornwood headquarters to a downtown White Plains building owned by Silverman, as relations

ed and most needed.” Other popular subjects included housing, employment, health and wellness and Veterans Affairs benefits. “It really demonstrated that we hit needs that were not being met in the community,” she said. This year’s event, as it did last year, will go beyond the basics. While there will be a wide range of speakers and workshops, there will also be spa services, spiritual-wellness offerings, gift cards and plenty of opportunities for the veterans to bond with each other. As Murphy said, the inaugural edition was particularly rewarding in the way that veterans from different wars and service branches came together. “It was amazing to me,” Murphy said. “They were networking each other.” Registration is required for the free event, which will run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and also include complimentary breakfast and lunch, child care and transportation. For more details or to register, call Natalie Edelhauser at 914-872-5242, email nedelhauser@fsw.org or visit standupforwomenveterans.com.

“The trial was absolutely remarkable,” Oxman said. “There was a lot of eye-rolling at the trial.” Eljamal, whom Oxman said has had “at least 17 lawyers” in the various lawsuits stemming from his ongoing disputes with his business partners, attempted to change lawyers during the trial. The judge denied his motion. The defendant’s move “was clearly in my view an attempt to create a mistrial,” Oxman said. As for collecting the $4.75 million award from Eljamal, “Sammy has business interests,” Oxman said. “He has equity interests in numerous companies and we expect to go after them.” “I will follow this collection process all the way to the end,” Coscia said. “Eventually I will get paid. I will never let this drop.” In another state Supreme Court case, Justice James W. Hubert in April awarded $5 million to a Silverman-owned company, Wilton Motiva Associates L.L.C., as landlord to Eljamal-owned companies leasing eight Shell gas stations in Fairfield County. The judge agreed with Silverman’s claim that Eljamal’s tenant companies had violated terms of their contract when they failed to make $5 million in installment payments to an escrow account. Eljamal and his father, Ardsley resident Musa Eljamal, are personally liable for the $5 million award to Silverman’s company as guarantors of the lease agreement. Eljamal could not be reached for comment.

INBRIEF

Long-closed Deli Delicious set to reopen

The town of Greenburgh has granted a zoning variance that will allow for a drive-through window at Deli Delicious, a Tarrytown Road business that has been closed and boarded up for three years. Greenburgh’s Zoning Board of Appeals denied the variance in 2011 and the property’s owner, Ernie Tartaglione, told the Business Journal at the time that without the drive-through it wasn’t worth keeping the property open. “This is a third-generation business,” he said at the time. “I operated it for 28 years and my son was going to take over.” The deli was losing $2,000 to $3,000 a week when he closed shop, he said. On May 15, the zoning board reconsidered the application and granted variances on a reapplication, according to Town Supervisor Paul Feiner. Feiner said a three-month construction period is expected to renovate the building and construct the drive-through, pending site plan approval from the town’s Planning Board. He applauded the variance. “The large signs on the building stating that the deli was closed and the boarded windows sent people the wrong message about Greenburgh and made it more difficult to attract new vibrant businesses to our town,” Feiner said in an email. The supervisor estimated the renovated Deli Delicious would be open by the end of the year.

region in this year’s round of statewide competition for funding from Albany. Empire State Development officials said up to $750 million in state economic development funding and resources are available in the fourth round of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s regional council initiative. Cuomo in 2011 created 10 regional councils operating as public-private partnerships and consolidated the state’s funding application process to stimulate economic development and private investment across the state. The 21-member mid-Hudson council represents Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam, Dutchess, Sullivan and Ulster counties. The state in December will award $220

million among the 10 regions to implement regional strategic plans and support priority projects, including $150 million in capital and $70 million in tax credits from the Excelsior Jobs Program. An additional $530 million will be awarded from state agency programs through the Consolidated Funding Application process launched by Cuomo with the regional councils. Priority projects are chosen based on their ability to stimulate job creation, privatesector investment and transformational economic growth in keeping with the goals identified in each regional council’s strategic plan.

New York will spend $27.5M on youth summer job program

New York state will spend $27.5 million to put young workers from low-income households to work this summer. Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday funding for the Summer Youth Employment program that will put more than 18,000 to work. Those in the program will work at school districts, nursing homes, senior citizen centers and in other areas. The program is for people ages 14 to 20 who come from households with income below 200 percent of the poverty level. For example, the governor’s office said, the income for a family of three must be less than $39,060 a year.

Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan.

A story in the May 19, 2014, edition of the Business Journal titled “Indian Point reviews potential for earthquake hazards” reported that the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission recently told Indian Point Energy Center and other nuclear power plants they needed to conduct more analyses into potential hazards posed by earthquakes. The Buchanan plant has been a focal point for scrutiny due to its proximity to New York City and within 50 miles of the homes of 17 million. Richard Thomas, director of the New York Affordable Reliable Electricity Alliance, submitted a letter to the editor in response. Indian Point is safe – absolutely, categorically, unequivocally safe. Over the past 40 years numerous independent and government experts have analyzed and reanalyzed earthquake concerns only to reach this same conclusion time and again. Just within these past few years the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission conducted an exhaustive evaluation as part of the license renewal process and determined Indian Point can operate safely for another 20 years. Indian Point is fundamentally different than Fukushima across the board. Indian Point sits 30 feet above sea level and 24 miles inland. Fukushima was on the shore of the Pacific Ocean. Indian Point is built into bedrock and its containment dome is 6 feet of rebar concrete lined with stainless steel. The

ful for the opportunities he’s been given by his employers at Greyston Bakery and Paraco Gas. There has not been much to boast of in the life of Kim Fudge, which includes a very long chapter – “36 years and 10 months,” he said – spent in New York’s toughest prisons. “Just about every maximum security prison in New York I spent my time in,” he said. Fudge spent most of his youth in Harlem. “Growing up there was a lot of negative influences that I got drawn to,” he said. “Men making easy money” through drug dealing and other crimes. “Things just escalated with that street culture, with robberies and all that type stuff.” That life ended in a murder that sent him to state prison at 17. He was “young and ignorant,” he said,

and behind bars continued on a path that does not make one a model prisoner for self-correction. Fudge was 53 when released from Clinton Correctional Facility, the last stop on his long tour of the state’s maximum security system. “November 15, 2011,” he said. He had no job and no housing awaiting him, but had a wife in Yonkers whom he had met, first by correspondence through a friend’s introduction, midway through his incarceration. He and Mary Sears have been married for 13 years. He entered a strange new world transformed by technology. In bathrooms, for example, “I didn’t have to touch anything,” he said, recalling his anxious confusion. “How do I flush? How do I wash my hands?” Seeking employment, he struggled but persevered to complete online job applications. “My wife actually suggested I go down there and sign up at Greyston Bakery” on the Yonkers waterfront. The bakery is

the for-profit enterprise of the nonprofit Greyston Foundation, where disadvantaged and down-and-out men and women are trained and supported in ways and programs that can put them on the path to self-sufficiency. PathMaking, that practice and philosophy is called at Greyston. Fudge’s wife knew about the unusual employment policy at the brownie bakery on Alexander Street. “We call it open hiring,” said Steven Brown, president of the Greyston Foundation. Job seekers like Kim Fudge can simply show up and add their names to a sign-up sheet near the entrance. No resumes or background checks are required, no questions about one’s past are asked. “We do everything legally,” Brown noted. “Open hiring is unique to Greyston,” he said. “It’s something we’d like to see more companies do.” For some job positions at companies, “That’s a good way to address the unemployment of people who have had some obstacles to hiring.” In June 2012, Fudge got a call to work at the bakery and entered Greyston’s 10-month apprenticeship program. “After six to eight months, I got my uniform,” he said. He worked 12-hour shifts at $9.70 an hour. “Work was pretty much foreign to me because the only thing I ever had was summer youth jobs,” he said. “The bakery is pretty physically demanding,” Brown said. “We give you a job but you have to work. It’s a very supportive work environment. But it’s a forprofit business and there’s an expectation that you’re going to perform.” Attrition is high, he said. Those who fail to complete the apprenticeship program can have a second chance at employment in the bakery after a one-year wait. Brown said Greyston in the last year has formalized its long-standing practice of encouraging workers to move on to better jobs with the start of its Next Steps program. At Paraco Gas, a propane gas and equipment supplier with headquarters in Rye Brook, CEO Joseph Armentano had helped raise funds for the Greyston Foundation. Armentano’s father started the family-owned business in 1968 as a distributor of welding supplies and industrial gas in the metropolitan area. “It was literally out of a garage in Mount Vernon,” said the founder’s son, who became CEO in 1988. The business has changed its product line and has

grown to $150 million in annual sales and 300 employees. Paraco is the first company to join Greyston’s Next Steps program. “This seemed to us at this time that this was a good thing to support,” said Armentano, whose company has supported numerous charities in Westchester. “It’s the first time for us to hire an ex-con. … I trusted the Greyston people to give me what they thought was going to be a good employee.” “People is part of my business and knowing people is part of my business, and I was really impressed with Kim Fudge when I met him,” Armentano said. “I don’t have any reservations” about the ex-con’s hiring, said Frank Carlone, Paraco plant manager and Fudge’s boss in Mount Vernon. “He did well in the interview.” Fudge started work one month ago on the loading dock off Edison Avenue. At $16.85 an hour, he appreciates the substantial pay hike that came with the Teamsters job. “He’s working out great,” said Armentano. The CEO hopes the 56-yearold laborer might eventually advance to a less physically demanding administrative job with the company. Fudge would like that. “My first week, I actually had to put Epsom salt in the tub” to ease the aches and pains of hauling 55-pound containers from conveyor belt to waiting trucks in nine-hour shifts. “Sore wasn’t the word.” “I’m working smarter now,” he said. He pulled up his sweatshirt to reveal a back brace he wears on the job. And given an opportunity, he is living smarter, too. “My story is really one of perseverance,” Fudge told his visitor. “With my life, I never looked at myself as a role model. I’ve just had an opportunity to show who I really am as opposed to when I was incarcerated, when I was young and ignorant. “I had a rough and tumble life due to my own choices because I didn’t listen, but there’s always opportunity to turn it around, no matter how old you are – and not just with incarceration.” That is his message to others in need of an open hiring policy and a risk-taking employer. As the Business Journal went to press, Joe Armentano was about to be honored by the Greyston Foundation at its annual benefit dinner for his company’s pioneering work in the Next Steps program. Kim Fudge was free to introduce him.

ask andi BY ANDI GRAY

attract clients with informative, accessible marketing We have relationships with clients, but we need marketing to be in front of them now – they’re not thinking about us. How do we stay on their minds for when it’s time for them to buy?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Know your audience. Be a leader and a follower. Use multiple approaches to distributing content. Keep your sales organization informed. Who is your audience? What do they want to know about? How do they receive information? Even if you’re doing businessto-business marketing, you’re still reaching out to connect with people. Find out what they look at, where they go for information, who they find influential. The best marketing campaign has to be located where your audience will likely find it, filled with content your audience will pick up on. Create content that positions your company as an expert. Provide your audience with new, useful, useable and even repackaged information. Make sure it’s engaging,

grammatically correct and understandable, at or below the technical level of your average reader. Present information accompanied by appealing visuals. Remember that a picture can speak a thousand words. “Inform” is the key word. Find out what people in your target audience want to know more about, are confused about, are hoping to better understand, are already interested in and curious about. Don’t assume that your audience comes equipped with a highly technical background. Provide content that people can quickly skim through and pause to read again if they’re interested. Set hooks along the way to draw attention to key points that are likely reader hot buttons. Avoid reputation-losing mistakes. Don’t stray too far afield attempting to cover subjects that you’re unsure about. It won’t make you look smarter. Mistakes can drive eyeballs away permanently. Draw attention by presenting your company as an expert on the topics it knows best. Read up on competitors. See what they’re doing to attract attention and educate the marketplace. You don’t want to be a copycat, but you may get some ideas on informa-

tion that isn’t being presented or topics that could be discussed more thoroughly. Look for opportunities to draw conclusions that others aren’t drawing, synthesize multiple points of view and fill in gaps in understanding. Books are easier to write and distribute than you might think. And they are still respected as knowledge sources. Take a course to learn how to get a book out. Read online suggestions about e-books from marketers who are trying to attract your eyeballs. Make an outline. Write a chapter each week or month. As with everything else you’re going to do in marketing, write about something you know about that your audience is also interested in. And try not to take yourself too seriously. Try video to tell a story. Make it professional enough that your audience will be engaged – not turned off. Ask current clients for a critique as you prepare content and shoot clips. Be ruthless in editing as time is your enemy. Short and to the point is usually best. Keep the interest of casual viewers. Give interested viewers a way to dig deeper. Build a community. Search the term. You’ll find tons of advice out there on how to do it and lots of venues through which to

launch. Start by joining some communities and participating regularly with informative content. See how many followers you can attract. Make sure your sales organization knows what you’re putting out and how to use that to draw in sales. Salespeople need to be at least as informed as the target market that has been paying attention to what you’ve put out. They need to know the purpose – why was that content distributed – and how to turn that content into connections. Make it a full circle by getting sales people to gather client feedback and make suggestions for future efforts.

astorino accepts gop nod to run against cuomo BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

estchester County Executive Rob Astorino accepted the Republican nomination to run for governor on May 15, painting a picture of New York as a state in decline due to an overbearing government. Astorino, facing an uphill battle against popular and well-financed incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo, called for term limits for state legislators, who he said had committed “political malpractice” by catering to special interest groups. He said New York government had increased taxes to support itself and overregulated businesses, pushing residents and industry out of the state. “If Henry Hudson and Giovanni da Verrazzano pulled into New York Harbor today, they’d turn their ships around and head south,” Astorino told delegates at the Westchester Hilton in Rye Brook. “What they’d see is the word ‘closed.’ Closed for business, closed for innovation, closed for honest, responsible government.” Astorino, 47, said the governor’s administration was “preying on local municipalities” by imposing a property tax cap and not offering relief to state mandates like Medicaid and pension contributions, which make up the majority of local budget costs. Medicaid contributions in New York were more than Texas, Florida and Pennsylvania combined, he said. “What have our politicians done? They’ve nearly ruined a once-great state,” he said. “They’ve murdered innovation and chased away the dreamers.” The candidate clearly outlined some campaign talking points – he wants to repeal Cuomo’s gun control law, the SAFE Act, and said if elected he’ll repeal the Common Core public school curriculum in favor of local control. Astorino also said he’d allow for natural gas mining through hydraulic fracturing, a drilling method that has seen opposition from environmental and civic groups while proponents say it will bring jobs and money to depressed regions of the state. Cuomo, 57, has avoided taking a stance on the issue, deferring a position until a state health review is completed, he has said. Notably absent from Astorino’s acceptance speech was any discussion of social issues. Astorino has twice won handily in elections for county executive in Westchester, where registered Democrats outnumber Republicans two to one. He’ll face a similar deficit statewide, and in the early goings his opponents have sought to define him as a tea party Republican with conservative views on abortion and women’s issues. At the beginning of his campaign in March, Astorino trailed his opponent with only about $1 million in the bank compared

to $33 million for Cuomo, who also has large leads in early polling. Despite the advantage, Cuomo’s camp has struck early in the campaign launching a series of ads criticizing Astorino for a standoff with the federal government over building affordable housing in Westchester. A Democratic-run group

called the Astorino Truth Squad has sought to define the candidate for voters outside of Westchester who may not be as familiar with him. County Democrats have gone as far as to propose a bill to ask for Astorino’s resignation, saying he has neglected his county duties while campaigning around the state.

If the governor’s team has been mobilized though, Cuomo himself has been quiet – avoiding acknowledging his opponent publicly to the point where he hasn’t mentioned his name. In a recent visit to Tarrytown during which he spoke to local business leaders, Cuomo did not meet with the local press or take questions on his campaign. Astorino accepted the nomination on his home turf with little drama, as the sole nominee after other potential candidates like Donald Trump and Carl Paladino had long dropped out of the race. State Republicans also nominated Chemung County Sheriff Christopher Moss for lieutenant governor, John Cahill for attorney general and Onondaga County Comptroller Robert Antonacci for state comptroller. Cahill will face incumbent Eric T. Schneiderman and Antonacci will run against incumbent Thomas DiNapoli.

Construction starts on $20M White Plains Hospital addition BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

emolition work has begun at the site of a new 38,000-square-foot medical office and patient services building that will double the size of White Plains Hospital’s cancer treatment program. An 85-year-old building is being razed at the corner of East Post Road and Longview Avenue to make way for the new facility adjoining the hospital’s Dickstein Cancer Treatment Center. Linked on three levels to the existing 15-year-old cancer center, the building will give the 292-bed community hospital approximately 70,000 square feet of space dedicated to cancer care. The Dickstein Center is already the largest free-standing cancer treatment center in the county, according to hospital officials. The approximately $20 million facility is scheduled to open in fall of 2015. “Our cancer program is growing because of our commitment to providing top-tier care for our patients,” Jon Schandler, CEO of White Plains Hospital, said at a May 19 ceremony to mark the start of construction.

“This significant investment and expansion will enable us to continue one of our most important missions – caring for our community.” The glass-sheathed building was designed by Posen Architects L.L.C., a West Orange, N.J., firm with an office in downtown White Plains. White Plains Hospital officials noted the design is consistent with the major renovations and improvements underway on the hospital campus that occupies a full city block. With the new addition, the hospital will consolidate its expanding oncology services by providing office space for physicians, some of whom currently have offcampus offices. It will also free up space for additional treatment of patients in the Dickstein building by shifting physicians’ and other medical offices and training rooms to the new building. Accredited in 1993, the cancer center has treated nearly 23,000 patients and has become one of the hospital’s signature programs. The

New IRS guide to fringe beneﬁts BY NORMAN G. GRILL

n January, the IRS released its newly updated Fringe Benefits Guide, publication 5137. Although the guide is directed at federal, state and local government employers, it provides a helpful overview of how the agency defines fringe benefits as well as its tax treatment and reporting rules. Now may be a good time to review your company’s offerings. A business can offer many things as fringe benefits. Publication 5137’s table of contents alone provides an interesting list of what the IRS generally regards as “a form of pay (including property, services, cash or cash equivalent), in addition to stated pay, for the performance of services.” For instance, two broad categories that every company should re-evaluate from time to time are working-condition fringe benefits and de minimis benefits. The former are expenses that, if employees had paid for the item themselves, could have been deducted on personal tax returns. Examples include employer-paid subscriptions to business periodicals or websites and employer expenditures for some types of on-the-job training. De minimis fringe benefits include any employer-provided property or service that has a value so small in relation to the

frequency with which it is provided that accounting for it is, according to the IRS, “unreasonable or administratively impracticable.” Some examples of these items are group meals; occasional coffee, doughnuts or soft drinks; and permission to make occasional local telephone calls. Another broad category of fringe benefits is transportation. Employers may provide: • General transportation for local business travel that doesn’t involve an overnight stay. • Qualified transportation fringe benefits (such as expenditures related to commuter transportation, transit passes, and some parking and bicycling costs. • Vehicles for employee use or reimbursements for the use of employee-owned vehicles. In a similar vein, your company can cover an employee’s moving expenses as a fringe benefit – as long as the move is for business purposes. The Fringe Benefits Guide makes clear that potential offerings range from relatively smaller-scale items to truly big-picture benefits. On the diminutive side, employer-funded awards and prizes can be a fringe benefit. You may also reimburse employees for the cost of their professional licenses and professional organization memberships. Job-related educational reimbursements and allowances are an increasingly popular offering to help employees keep up with technology.

On the larger side, companies may provide dependent care assistance (such as day care facilities) or group-term life insurance coverage. Generally, the IRS takes one of four tax approaches to fringe benefits: 1. Taxable/includable. The value of benefits in this category are taxable because they must be included in employees’ gross income as wages and reported on Form W-2. They’re usually also subject to federal income tax withholding, Social Security tax (unless the employee has already reached the current year Social Security wage base limit) and Medicare tax. Typical examples include cash bonuses and the personal use of a company vehicle. 2. Nontaxable/excludable. Benefits in this category are considered nontaxable because you may exclude them from employees’ wages under a specific section of the Internal Revenue Code. Many of the examples of fringe benefits mentioned above fall here, including: • A wide variety of working-condition and de minimis fringe benefits. • Properly documented work-related travel expenses (such as meals and lodging). • Up to $50,000 in group-term life insurance, as long as the policy meets certain IRS requirements. • Employer-paid health care premiums under a qualifying plan.

3. Partially taxable. In some cases, the value of a fringe benefit will be excluded under an IRC section up to a certain dollar limit with the remainder taxable. A public transportation subsidy under Section 132 is one example. 4. Tax-deferred. This designation applies to fringe benefits that aren’t taxable when received but that will be subject to tax later. A common example is employer contributions to a defined contribution plan, such as a 401(k). To be clear, the Fringe Benefit Guide is an overview of the IRS approach to this area. The agency offers other publications covering specific fringe benefits in greater detail. More importantly, your tax and benefits advisers can examine your company’s size and workforce to help you tailor the right menu of fringe benefit offerings. Generally, such a menu should allow you to minimize the number of taxable/includable fringe benefits while maximizing the tax benefits, for both your company and employees, of nontaxable/excludable offerings.

Obama visits Tappan Zee ahead of ‘highway cliff’ In town to tout $302B bill ahead of latest federal crisis

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairin.com

he federal government’s latest stalemate has the country headed for what’s being called the “highway cliff.” The federal Highway Trust Fund, which invests in transportation projects like highway repairs and bridge construction, is drying up and on the road to ultimate evaporation by August. More than 112,000 projects and 700,000 jobs hang in the balance, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation. The number of jobs that could be lost is greater than the combined populations of Tampa, Fla., and St. Louis. President Barack Obama has proposed a four-year, $302 billion transportation infrastructure bill to replenish the trust fund. He was in Westchester on May 14, touting the bill and speaking on Tarrytown’s Hudson River waterfront in view of the old, battered Tappan Zee Bridge. Obama stood at a lectern at Sunset Cove restaurant at the Washington Irving Boat Club, noting the bridge was the longest in the state and calling it “one of the busiest bridges around” “As any commuter will tell you, it’s crowded,” he said. “It carries a lot more traffic than when it was built in 1955. At times, you can see the river through the cracks in the pavement: I’m not an engineer but I figure that’s not good.” The president used the new bridge as an example of the types of projects the U.S. needed, saying premier roadways and transportation infrastructure were key to the economy of the country. “The alternative is to do nothing and watch businesses go to places that have outstanding infrastructure,” he said. The federal government committed a $1.6 billion loan for construction of the Tappan Zee replacement, though questions linger about how expensive the bridge toll will need to be to pay for the construction. Obama said the country’s highway and transportation system is what set it apart as a world leader and location for thriving businesses in the middle part of the 20th century. He said it was time to recommit. “The bottom line, Tarrytown, is America doesn’t stand still,” he said. Avoiding the highway cliff is more complex than being committed to replenishing the Highway Trust. How to provide money for the trust and other complexities could delay any revolutionary changes, particularly in an election year in which Republicans are aiming to take control of the U.S. Senate.

Running out of gas The Highway Trust was established in 1956 as part of the Federal Aid Highway Act. President Dwight D. Eisenhower,

16 May 26, 2014 • WCBJ • HV Biz

an Army veteran, understood the correlation between a strong and easily navigable roadway system and military and economic might. He pushed through the act, which led to the largest and most comprehensive nationwide infrastructure project in the nation’s history. More than 41,000 miles of roadway saw construction. The trust was funded through a tax on gas, initially 3 cents to the gallon. To keep the fund solvent, the tax has increased several times but it has remained steady at just above 18 cents on the gallon since 1993. The consumption of gas has decreased in recent decades, with the advent of more fuel-efficient cars as well as hybrids. That has led to less tax money collected for the fund, and improving technology means the amount of fuel consumed will likely fall further in coming years. Also, ballooning project costs have led to the amount going out of the fund outpacing the amount of taxes collected by nearly $20 billion annually. Increasing the taxes is unlikely, with talks stalled for several years. The depleting of the fund could start to affect federal disbursements to states before it has completely run dry, experts say.

Alternatives to a gas-tax increase Obama’s bill calls for tightening corporate tax loopholes and increasing taxes on overseas earnings. Those initiatives are likely to see resistance in Congress, particularly in the House. A muchdebated measure of the bill would allow increased authority to states to expand tolls on interstate highways and give improved authority to levy those tolls to the states themselves. American Trucking Associations, a national trade group, criticized the president’s plan for what it said were “quick fixes.” Bill Graves, president and CEO of ATA, took issue with the toll provision and a lack of details in the corporate tax reform proposal. “Any proposal that moves away from a user fee-funded transportation system is not going to be acceptable to the American trucking industry, period,” he said. “The focus must be on real, long-term funding answers rather than repeatedly looking for the proverbial ‘nickels in the couch cushions.’” The fund has only remained solvent for the last five years due to temporary solutions. Dating back to 2008, Congress has had to make up the shortfall in the trust by dipping into the general fund to the tune of $54 billion. A recent NPR piece said another $15 billion would be needed from the general fund to extend the trust this year. That option may be the most likely with elections looming and any major policy changes bogged down. Tapping the general fund may mean a

deal between the House and the Senate. Another long shot, at least to be approved in the immediate future, is to change entirely the way the trust is funded. One suggestion is to eliminate changes to the gas tax and instead tax drivers based on how many miles they drive. Drivers who use the roadways more would pay more taxes to support those roads. There has not been tangible support of an initiative such as this on the legislative level.

Senate unveils counter proposal The day after Obama’s visit to the Tappan Zee Bridge, May 15, the Senate’s Environment and Public Works committee released a counterproposal to the president’s transportation bill. The Senate plan called for $260 billion in spending spread out over six years – $40 billion less than the president’s bill and stretched two years longer. The committee bill did not lift the restrictions on tolls on interstate highways, which drew kudos from the OwnerOperator Independent Drivers Association. The group’s executive vice president, Todd Spencer, said, “We look forward to working with both the Senate and House transportation committees in addressing the challenges faced by the highway trust fund and ensuring that the priorities of professional and small-business truckers are included in the final bill.” According to a recent article in The Hill, the Senate is expected to amend its bill significantly before a full vote while the House hasn’t chimed in on whether it will amend the existing bill or come up with an alternative plan. The Senate committee plan, notably, does not offer a suggestion on how to pay for replenishing the trust fund.

Report: hudson valley’s infrastructure being neglected BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

in 2011. The cap limits the size of annual property tax levies and infrastructure repairs are not exempted costs under the cap. The flow of funding from the federal government in recent years has also slowed, the report stated. Putting off routine asset management is a multimillion-dollar problem. According to the Cornell Local Roads Program, $1 spent on maintenance at the routine maintenance stage will save as much as $5 in major rehabilitation in the future. One of the most telling results from the report is that 57 percent of the municipalities that responded do not do capital improvement planning. Also, many of those respondents had only recently implemented planning as part of their budgeting process. March Gallagher, chief strategy officer for Pattern, spoke at the group’s May 19 conference on infrastructure.

ewburgh City Engineer Jason Morris explained in a recent survey that the city’s wastewater collection system has had several failures in recent years. “The system is more than 100 years old and extensive upgrades are necessary to prevent future failures, increase efficiency and reduce combined sewer overflow events through the city’s combined sewer overflows,” he said. Upgrades won’t come cheap, but putting off nonemergency upgrades is meaning a larger price tag down the road and possibly contributing to a regional infrastructure crisis. Failing infrastructure could scare away potential private enterprise and slow economic development, analysts say. The Hudson Valley’s infrastructure is deteriorating and municipalities in the ninecounty region aren’t doing enough to maintain their aging water, sewer and road systems, according to a new report. Pattern for Progress, a Newburgh-based business and education advocacy group, released a report called “Infrastructure Planning and Investment: A Widening Gap” that collected responses from 126 out of 238 municipalities in the Hudson Valley. The report focused on everyday infrastructure rather than on “national headline” projects such as Hudson River crossings. “As citizens we expect our infrastructure to work and work well,” the report stated. “When it works, people barely notice it. But when it doesn’t, it affects us all.” Sixty percent of respondents said their water infrastructure needed work in the next three years or was at risk of “imminent failure.” Sewer, roads and bridges were tagged as needing major repairs in the next three years by 51 percent, 42 percent and 49 percent, respectively. There are more than 3,000 bridges in the Hudson Valley aside from the major crossings, according to the report. The Federal Highway Administration said that 13 percent of the area’s bridges are deficient and 32 percent of bridges in the region are obsolete. The report found that Hudson Valley cities, towns and villages spent significantly less of their budgets on infrastructure between 2002 and 2012. It also found the relative share of infrastructure to total budget in cities, towns and villages dropped 41 percent, 16.9 percent and 17 percent, respectively. County budgets did see an increase over that period, to the tune of a 5.2 percent increase. This may be further complicated by a New York state tax cap that went into effect

“They do not plan, they do not look at cost five years out, they can’t necessarily tell you what they have to spend in infrastructure in the next five years,” she told attendees. “That’s crazy, you could never run a business like that.” In its report, Pattern made eight recommendations including asset planning and capital project planning. The group recommended shared services and regional planning for infrastructure and exploring possibilities of public-private partnerships in lieu of tightened discretionary budget expenditures. Most municipalities polled said they were already collaborating with other agencies, county governments and state agencies, while many others were interested with future collaborations. Still, there seems to be some resistance to a shared approach – 6.6 percent were not interested in intermunicipality collaboration, 10.6 percent didn’t want

to collaborate with the county and 14.5 percent weren’t interested in collaboration with state agencies. The American Society of Civil Engineers gave the nation a D-plus grade for its infrastructure in 2013, the report stated, and the U.S. has fallen behind countries such as China, Japan and South Korea in the percent of gross domestic product spent on infrastructure. Woodstock Town Supervisor Jeremy Wilbur, one of the respondents, was quoted in the report as saying elected officials needed to explain the need for short-term investment and how it will save money long-term. “Better to spend the dime now than the dollar later,” he said. “The next generation will look back upon us kindly.” Pattern for Progress defines the Hudson Valley region as Columbia, Dutchess, Greene, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester counties.

Senior scientist Richard Ostfeld contributed to the report’s chapter on human health. “As temperatures warm, ticks and mosquitoes are expanding their ranges northward. We are seeing a rise in Lyme disease and the threat of insect-borne illnesses. At the same time, we are dealing with decreased air and water quality causing respiratory and digestive diseases and the stress and injury that accompany extreme weather.” Schlesinger noted that, “As a nation, we still have huge opportunities to reduce our carbon emissions and embrace renewable energy. Cutting emissions today will make for a better tomorrow.

The joint venture of the two galleries will continue to showcase Galerie BMG’s contemporary fine art photography while Sweetheart Gallery will offer an enhanced focus on fine art and sculpture to complement their longstanding fine American crafts. To inaugurate the new space and celebrate the arrival of spring, an exhibition will feature a retrospective of floral and landscape paintings by Lila Bacon and a new series of photographic images combining flowers and other natural and man-made elements by Kim Kauffman. Bacon, a Woodstock artist and co-owner of Sweetheart Gallery, is a painter with more than 40 years of experience. While her work has encompassed landscape, still life and figure paintings in a variety of media, including charcoal, pastel and watercolor, her current work is primarily focused on flowers with bold yet free-flowing colors, using acrylic on canvas. Kauffman’s “photo collages” combine a variety of natural and man-made objects, using multiple images layered to create an abstract and visual environment. The exhibition will feature new work from her “Florilegium” series, vibrantly colored and richly detailed botanical images, along with selections from her new series “Confluence,” employing visual simplicity to convey the meeting of the natural world and the human-created world. Bacon and Kauffman’s work will be on display through July 27. The new gallery space at 17 Cricket Ridge will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and other times by appointment.

The third National Climate Assessment, issued to the president and U.S. Congress every four years, is a scientific analysis of how climate change is affecting our nation, including what we can expect in the future if the escalating problem is not addressed. A collaborative effort among more than 250 authors, the 860-page report synthesizes current, peer-reviewed science on climate change. The Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies in Millbrook provided leadership on content related to ecosystems and biogeochemical cycles and contributed to the section on human health. “Climate change is a problem that has moved firmly into the present,” said Cary Institute President Bill Schlesinger, a co-convener of the report’s biogeochemistry chapter. “Our activities are disrupting Earth’s carbon and nitrogen cycles, largely due to the burning of fossil fuels. If imbalances remain unaddressed, it will be at a huge expense to the health of our planet – and the quality of our own lives.” The assessment details how people and resources throughout the United States are already suffering from the negative effects of climate change, with extreme weather taking different forms regionally. While the Southwest has been gripped by crippling drought and wildfires, the Northeast has experienced prolonged periods of heat, heavy rainfall and storm surges that put people and property at risk. Peter Groffman, a senior scientist at the Cary Institute, co-convened the chapter on ecosystems, biodiversity and ecosystem services. “The science is clear, climate change is degrading ecosystem resilience,” Groffman said. “In the Southwest, climate change is projected to reduce the ability of ecosystems to supply water. While in other areas, like the Northeast, many ecosystems are losing their ability to buffer extreme events like floods.” There is also growing evidence that climate change is

ULSTER SAVINGS AWARDS GRANT

The Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation recently awarded a $5,000 grant to John A. Coleman Catholic High School to assist with capital improvements in technology and its curriculum information technology program. In addition to computer and software upgrades in classroom and computer lab settings, the foundation’s grant will also be used to buy Smartboards and mounted projectors for use in the high school’s common areas. These purchases will help cut the school’s costs of outsourcing technology-related classes and will also enhance online studies by providing these services on campus on a daily basis. “The long-term benefits of Coleman High’s technology upgrades will be multifaceted,” said MaryRose Warcholak, executive director of the Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation. “In addition to increasing students’ capabilities in the classroom, the many outside community groups that use Coleman High School will have access to this technology for their own purposes, such as conducting meetings or presentations.” For more information about the Ulster Savings Charitable Foundation, call Warcholak at 845-338-6322, ext. 3626.

OUTSIDERS BECOMING INSIDERS

SUNY ORANGE HOSTS EXHIBIT

The distinction between art made by professionally trained artists and those who have never attended art school, insiders and outsiders, is being challenged in the arena of contemporary art and criticism, according to Vassar College. “As evidence of this softening of the edges between these categories, in recent decades, many mainstream art museums have added self-taught art to their collections and exhibition programs.” The Vassar College Frances Lehman Loeb Art Center in Poughkeepsie has a collection of more than 100 works made by self-taught artists. “Faces and Figures in Self-Taught Art,” the center’s new exhibition, July 11 to Aug. 31, showcases many of them. Included in this exhibition are paintings, drawings, sculptures, books, watercolors and photographic prints by artists who operate without academic training and outside traditional artistic discourse, often using unconventional materials to create works that vary remarkably in style. “Faces and Figures” features works by approximately 36 artists, including James Castle, Henry Darger, Thornton Dial, Howard Finster, Bessie Harvey, Dwight Mackintosh, Donald Mitchell, Mose Tolliver, Bill Traylor and Inez Nathaniel Walker. The show also includes works borrowed from the personal collection of state Assemblywoman Didi Barrett and her husband, David Barrett, and the BlanchardHill Collection.

The Artists of Excellence exhibit series continues with works by Barbara Bonham, of Middletown, and Stuart Sachs ,of Newburgh. On display from now through June 25 in the foyer of the Mindy Ross Gallery, Kaplan Hall, which is at the corner of Grand and First streets on the Newburgh campus of SUNY Orange. Viewing hours are Mondays through Fridays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. During June, the college is closed on Fridays. The exhibit series was initiated to spotlight highly talented regional artists while giving the college community and the community the privilege of viewing outstanding pieces in various media by professional artists. Bonham and Sachs are sculptors, however, each works in very different media. Bonham’s sculptures are made from various kinds of clay bodies with finishes from white slip to oxides, while other pieces are finished with oils and metallic patinas and Byzantine style mosaics. Sachs presents another point of view in this exhibit. With the exception of one piece made of stainless steel and bronze, his small works on exhibit are glass castings. The exhibit, presented by the college cultural affairs, is free to the public. For more information, call 845341-4891/9386, email cultural@sunyorange.edu or visit sunyorange.edu/culturalaffairs.

It’s true. When doctors become successful, they move to the suburbs.

Who can blame them? Westchester has charming town squares, top-tier school districts and one-of-a-kind homes. But if you’re a successful doctor, you don’t only care where you live. You also care where you work. That’s why they’re drawn to Bronxville’s Lawrence Hospital Center. Over the last five years, we’ve spent nearly $50 million in renovations. S uffice it to say, that kind of money buys a lot more than a new coat of paint and some soothing wall art. Let’s start with the room people often see first: The Emergency Room. We’ve done so much reconstructive surgery on it, you wouldn’t recognize the place. Modern. Sleek. Computerized. It’s everything

you’d want in a part of the hospital we hope you never have to visit. Of course, not every visit to our hospital is for a bad reason. Sometimes it’s for a good one. And there’s no better example of that than our Maternity Ward. Our nursery is spacious enough to handle a minor population explosion. And with 23 new private rooms, their mothers get some well-deser ved privacy. Each room has been designed with soft lighting, carpeting, Internet access and a flat-screen TV. In addition to our warm bedside manner, we have electronic bedside records. A laser-fast scan of your ID bracelet tells our nurses who you are and what medication you need. It’s an extra layer of security that helps eliminate the possibility of mistaken identity. Speaking of technology, we’ve improved our image with upgraded MRIs and Westchester’s first Low Dose CT Scan. A dose so low, it delivers up to 40% less radiation than the previous model. That said, technology is only half the story. People are the other half.

In an age when hospitals focus on the almighty dollar, we still focus on the almighty patient. Maybe that’s why nationally recognized doctors and award-winning surgeons who could work anywhere, choose to work here. We don’t just talk about compassionate care, we also

live and breathe it. No wonder people think it’s healthier to live in the suburbs. If you’d like the full hospital tour, visit lawrencehealth.org. Find out why so many top doctors call our hospital “home.”

Location. Innovation. Compassion.

The Nathaniel Witherell in Greenwich Modernizes and Doubles Size of its Health and Wellness Rehabilitation Center

BRINGS NUMBER OF PRIVATE ROOMS UP TO 64

esearching a rehab center where you can recuperate from injuries or surgery need not be stressful. The state-ofthe-art Nathaniel Witherell Health and Wellness Rehabilitation Center in Greenwich answers the following questions to help you streamline the process and make the best possible choice: 1. Should a rehab center offer services seven days a week? The state-of-the-art Nathaniel Witherell Health and Wellness Rehabilitation Center provides rehab seven days a week so that your progress can continue without interruption. If prescribed, orthopedic rehab sessions are available twice a day, Monday through Friday, and once a day on weekends and most holidays. 2. Are comprehensive rehab programs in place and broad enough to include orthopedic, cardiac, neurological and general medical services? At the Nathaniel Witherell, we serve the community best by offering comprehensive programs in the following areas:

Orthopedic (hip, knee, shoulder) Cardiac (heart surgery, valve replacement, heart transplant, heart attack, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) Neurological (back surgery, spinal cord injury, stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, multiple sclerosis) General Medical (end-stage renal disease (ESRD), cancer recovery, medically deconditioned patients). 3. What is the staff turnover rate? A low turnover rate is key. It ensures greater attention to subtle changes in a patient’s condition and provides consistency and accountability. The Nathaniel Witherell has the lowest turnover rate (7 percent) of any short-term or long-term care facility in this region. Our full-time licensed rehabilitation staff provides expert medical and nursing care along with a fully individualized and coordinated treatment plan to help you on your road to recovery. 4. Should a rehab center be committed to “person-centered care”? The Nathaniel Witherell supports a cul-

ture that respects your autonomy and individual choices. We believe you should be able to determine aspects of your daily routine, menu choices (with medical approval) and dining times. Additionally, we think visiting hours should be flexible; at Witherell, visiting hours are unrestricted. 5. How are short-term rehab or skilled nursing centers rated? The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services publishes a rating system, which evaluates every facility that participates in those programs. The Nathaniel Witherell enjoys the coveted 5-Star rating from the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. At the Witherell, our full-time licensed rehabilitation staff provides expert care. 6. How well equipped is the facility? Thanks to Project Renew, the Witherell’s $26 million capital campaign to improve the institution’s infrastructure and environment, the number of private rooms has increased from 26 to 64, and we now offer Wi-Fi and live/work space. All rooms have been remodeled and redecorated attractively and public spaces have been similarly enhanced.

State-of-the-art therapy and “person-centered care” are lynchpins of the Nathaniel Witherell Health and Wellness Rehabilitation Center in Greenwich.

At The Nathaniel Witherell, our primary goal is to provide state-of-the-art care to get you back to an active life as soon as possible.

Helping those who help others: Respite care a popular service at Westchester Care at Home

ftentimes family members serve as primary caregivers for loved ones requiring care at home. According to the Family Caregiver Alliance, approximately 29 percent of the U.S. adult population – including spouses, partners and other family members, friends or neighbors – serve as informal caregivers who assist those who are ill, disabled or elderly with activities of daily living. But what happens when the caregiver needs a break to go on vacation, to a wedding or other important event? What if they need a few hours to take care of personal business? Dedicated as they may be, caregivers often experience stress as they contend with juggling the everyday needs of a loved one with their own busy lives. At times like these, Westchester Care

at Home (WCAH), a White Plains-based New York state-licensed home health care agency offers relief to families through its Respite Care Program. According to WCAH Administrator Karen T. LaMonica, “People may not realize that we provide home health aide services on an extremely flexible basis, whether for one hour, all day or around the clock. It’s not uncommon for us to receive calls from adult children of elderly parents, spouses and others who are simply seeking temporary help with caring for loved ones. Some people think that hiring a home health aide is an “all or nothing” proposition, but it’s important for family members to realize that they have options for shortterm vs. longer-term care.” Through its Respite Care Program, WCAH’S highly trained, certified home health aides can step in to assume care-

giver duties, providing personal care such as grooming and bath service, light housekeeping and laundry, grocery shopping and meal preparation, escort to medical appointments and additional activities. “Temporary care can take place at the individual’s home or at a nursing home or other health care facility,” LaMonica noted. Respite Care is one of the unique home health care services offered by Westchester Care at Home, with no minimum hours or days of service required and no contracts to sign. An affiliate of VNS Westchester, Westchester Care at Home services residents of Westchester, Putnam, the Bronx, Dutchess & Rockland. For more information about Respite Care and other WCAH services, call (914) 997-7912 or visit www.vns.org/homehealth-aides.

Call us to learn about our affordable rates on an hourly or live-in basis. Some third party payers provide reimbursement for our services.

Pathway to Nursing program delivers comprehensive nursing and health sciences education

he University of Bridgeport (UB) and Bridgeport Hospital are proud to announce plans to integrate the nursing program at Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing (BHSN) with UB’s Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences. This unique “Pathway to Nursing” program will put students on the track to becoming Registered Nurses and valuable health care professionals. Not only will students in this program gain the knowledge and skills necessary to become a Registered Nurse, but graduates will earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Health Sciences from UB that will prepare them for a variety of careers in nursing and the health care field.

The “Pathway to Nursing” program will deliver a comprehensive nursing and health sciences education to meet the demands of an ever expanding health care industry. Under a curriculum developed by experts from both institutions, UB students who successfully complete their pre-professional academic coursework at the University will be given priority admission to the BHSN nursing program, which consistently fills its limited number of spaces. The “Pathway to Nursing” program has been designed to offer students a clear path to complete the challenging coursework required for a diploma in nursing as well as a B.S. in Health Sciences within four years. During the first year of study students will enroll in a pre-professional track at UB that prepares them for entry into BHSN’s two-year hospitalbased diploma program. In the second and third years of study, BHSN will provide students with a strong educational foundation in nursing. Each student who successfully completes the BHSN nursing program will receive a diploma in nursing and will be eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN, National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses. BHSN’s

NCLEX pass rate consistently exceeds state and national pass rates — a testament to the quality of the nursing education offered at BHSN. In their fourth and final year of study, students will return to UB to complete the coursework for a B.S. in Health Sciences. With the BHSN credits counting toward the bachelor’s degree, students will build on their nursing education with specialized health sciences courses at UB. With the collaboration of two leading schools, the “Pathway to Nursing” program will deliver a comprehensive nursing and health sciences education to meet the demands of an ever expanding health care industry.

UBecome a Registered Nurse. The new “Pathway to Nursing” program puts you on the path to becoming a registered nurse. The University of Bridgeport and the Bridgeport Hospital School of Nursing have created a unique program that gives students the opportunity to receive a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences from UB and a diploma in Nursing from BHSN. With a curriculum designed by experts from both institutions, students build a strong educational foundation along with the skills and knowledge necessary for a nursing career in today’s expanding healthcare industry. As an added benefit, qualified students in the Pathway to Nursing program are given priority consideration to study at BHSN, with only a limited number of spots available each year.

Students are now being accepted for the fall 2014 semester. For more information, and to apply, go to www.bridgeport.edu/nursing or call 203.576.4552

The Westchester Father of the Year Council and the American Diabetes Association

oday, nearly 26 million children and adults have diabetes and it has tripled in the past 10 years to become a national epidemic, as an estimated 18.1 million have been diagnosed, and 7.9 million people are unaware that they have the disease, and another 79 million are at risk. The American Diabetes Association is leading the fight against the deadly consequences of diabetes and fighting for those affected by diabetes. The Westchester chapter of the National Father’s Day Council is a volunteer organization that works with the American Diabetes Association to raise awareness of diabetes and fund research for this organization through its annual Father of the Year Award event, as individu-

als are honored who exemplify an outstanding commitment to their children, family and community. The annual Westchester Father of the Year Awards recognizes the hard work of fathers in their local communities and provides a platform to promote awareness of diabetes as one of the most important challenges to our health and welfare. For more information, call the American Diabetes Association at 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383) or visit www.diabetes.org.

Westchester Knicks team name, logo revealed

The New York Knicks held a naming contest for its new NBA Development League team that will play its home games in White Plains, but in the end the team decided “Knicks” would do just fine. The Westchester Knicks’ name was announced and its logo unveiled May 14 at the Westchester County Center, where the team will play its home games starting this fall. Madison Square Garden Co., which owns the Knicks, said the name was a popular fan choice. Dave Howard, president of MSG Sports, said the company was excited to tip off in Westchester. “Thank you to all the fans who went online to submit team name suggestions,” Howard said in a statement. “We are proud to be extending the Knicks brand into Westchester.” The team’s logo shows a colonial dribbler, “Father Knickerbocker,” making a fast break. It’s an update of the New York Knicks’ logo from its first two decades, designed by sports cartoonist Willard Mullin of The New York World-Telegram, according to MSG. MSG plans to use the Westchester Knicks to develop players as well as coaches and trainers. The D-League is emerging as the NBA’s answer to the minor leagues in baseball. The Knicks affiliate will be the 18th in the league and the seventh owned and operated by an NBA team (14 teams have direct affiliates in the D-League). Many sportswriters expect that within a decade, the D-League will expand to 30 teams, with each NBA club having ownership or direct affiliation with a lower league club. Westchester County, which owns the County Center, estimated it could gain between $48,000 to $288,000 per season in ticket sales, parking, concessions and merchandise from the deal with the Knicks. The team is the latest pro sports club to come to Westchester, which is known more

Manhattanville to create Rodney Dangerfield comedy institute

He said he got no respect. Turns out he was wrong. Rodney Dangerfield, the standup comedian and star of films like “Back to School,” will have an entire institute of higher learning named in his honor. Manhattanville College in Purchase will establish The Rodney Dangerfield Institute for the Study of Comedy, according to its website. Dangerfield, who died in 2004, received a posthumous honorary doctorate at the college’s commencement ceremony May 17.

not for what Pat said. “Metro North had a system-wide signal failure and I was stuck in the tunnel of Grand Central Station for an hour and a half. Finally the train moved back to the platform. It was packed with people with frayed nerves. I immediately called Red Oak and was connected with Cynthia. She calmed me and told me she’d have a driver to me in an hour. And he was early! Cynthia kept in touch by phone and expressed concern for me. Talk about “going the extra mile”!

Small-business owners will be able to link up one-on-one with entrepreneurial mentors in an online platform that launched May 20. Business Mentor NY will have users register online for free, review mentor profiles and directly engage with their chosen mentors. Program administrators will also be available to help small businesses identify suitable mentors, according to announcements from the state. The platform was first announced by Gov. Andrew Cuomo during his State of the State speech in January. He said at the time the program would build upon the mentoring efforts of volunteers during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The program is partially funded through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. An announcement from Cuomo’s office said more than 200 business professionals from various industries will serve as mentors in the program. The program will be conducted in partnership with MicroMentor, a mentoring platform that is an initiative of nonprofit Mercy Corps. Cuomo’s office said Empire State Development, which is administering the program, will hold events across the state to tout the benefits of the platform and seek to increase registration and use of its services. – Mark Lungariello

INBRIEF

for its training facilities for pro clubs. The NBA Knicks and hockey’s New York Rangers have training facilities in the county and Major League Soccer expansion team New York City FC will practice at Manhattanville College’s campus starting in 2015. The city has reportedly been trying to woo the soccer club to play its regular-season home games in Yonkers. Sports fans will hope for a better run from the Westchester Knicks than the county’s last big pro sports team. The Yonkers Hoot Owls joined baseball’s Independent League in 1995 to much local fanfare but lasted only one season before relocating to Maine.

Celebrating 77 years of going the extra mile.

HEaLTH TEcH ’14

FUELING INNOVATION IN WESTcHESTER

TRANSFORMATION

COLLABORATION... It was the first of its kind in Westchester County: Health Tech ’14: Fueling Innovation in Westchester, our spectacular two-day conference that put key players in health tech, biotech, medtech, venture capital, real estate, and healthcare in the same room to report, analyze, and collaborate about the future. The event was organized by the Westchester County Association and produced by Harrison Edwards, Inc. Health Tech ’14 broke all records. Great attendance, big attention and press coverage from beyond Westchester, tremendous sponsorship, and palpable excitement among all who were there! The big takeaway? Westchester County is one of the nation’s growing hubs of healthcare, health tech, and biotech innovation. And the Westchester County Association is leading the charge— helping to spawn the county’s entrepreneurial and innovation cultures. But don’t take our word for it. Read what the participants had to say: “Westchester is at the epicenter of the largest biotech workforce in the nation—79,000 people. That’s bigger than Boston, San Francisco, or San Diego.” —Dr. Nathan Tinker, executive director, NewYorkBIO. Neil Stahl, Ph.D., Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, discussing the company’s innovations.

“The excitement is palpable... There’s incredible talent based here. We have to work together to build a greater awareness of the possibilities here... Collaboration can take on many forms [including] joint projects but also knowledge… We have to commit to that to make it happen.” —Neil Stahl, Ph.D., senior vice president, research and development, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals

“I have to pinch myself. The innovation in Westchester is astounding...And, Westchester is infused with a spirit of collaboration—everyone seems interested in talking. Events like Health Tech ’14 are fantastic, and we need more. Westchester is doing a lot to become the health innovation hub in the Americas.” —David Burke, director of telemedicine and virtual rehabilitation, Burke Medical Research Institute

“Entrepreneurs Edge” panelists included Mahmud Wazihulla, Mercy College; Jeff Borenstein, Medstartr; Steve Davis, Goodwin Procter; Andy DiSimone, StartUp Health; Jack Kopnisky, Sterling National Bank; and Mark Kronenfeld, M.D., Maimonides Medical Center.

“Winning the pitch competition for us was fantastic because of the exposure to the healthcare organizations, legal and financial firms, and biotech companies in the region. We are both a software company and a tech company so the networking made possible by this event is of tremendous importance. I haven’t seen this kind of energy, this vibe since I was in Palo Alto ten years ago.” —Nuala Ronan, managing partner, Databean and winner of the “Pitch to the Pros” Accelerate Westchester Grant

“We are all in this together. We should look at Boston and the San Francisco Bay Area and decide how we can grow as a region to compete. Having more communication—more meetings like this [Health Tech ‘14] will provide opportunities. With eight major academic institutions, there’s a lot of intellectual capital coming out of New York City, which is also the second biggest recipient of federal funding for medical research...The potential for life sciences in this area is huge. Some companies will want to stay in the city, some will want to move to Westchester. We need to work together—the more options the better. There’s no ceiling on where this region can go.”

“In order to thrive as a startup, you need to be in a location where you have ready access to R&D, finance, and helpful local government. Those resources come together in Westchester... For a small biomedical firm starting up, that is extremely valuable.”

“Westchester’s academic institutions like New York Medical College give biotech companies a reason to locate here.” —John Eldridge, Ph.D., chief scientific officer, Profectus BioSciences

“Healthcare is moving from an institutional environment to a retail environment: healthcare is going out to the consumer. Westchester can capture this market because it has ample room for these types of spaces, where healthcare could be convenient to home and neighborhood. Westchester must also look at adapting buildings for support services for hospitals.”

“It couldn’t have been better... It’s so exciting to be here [at the conference] and see what’s happening in Westchester. It’s a reawakening. Regeneron is like the PepsiCo of the 1970s. It’s necessary for us to hear and to understand the technical [research innovations]. It’s all within our grasp…If we can’t build it, they won’t come.” —Guy Leibler, president, Simone Development Healthcare

NEWSMAKERS plus awards and events ATTORNEY RECEIVES RISING STAR AWARD Legal Services of the Hudson Valley staff attorney Kyle Steller, was selected by the New York Law Journal as one of its 2014 Rising Stars. A panel of 20 reviewed more than 230 nominations of lawyers age 40 and under who have established a record of accomplishments and demonstrated that they are top contributors to the practice of law and their communities. The attorneys will be honored at an event June 16 at Manhattan Penthouse, 80 Fifth Ave., New York City from 6 to 9 p.m. Steller, works in Legal Services of the Hudson Valley’s Poughkeepsie office. She was nominated for her work on behalf of vulnerable and marginalized elders. Over the past year, she spearheaded Legal Services collaboration with The Mediation Center of

Dutchess County’s Coalition on Elder Abuse in Dutchess County. Handling 150 cases, which impact between 225 to 450 family members each year, Steller helps clients with issues, including Medicaid and Medicare benefits. As Legal Services of the Hudson Valley and The Mediation Center of Dutchess County continue to do community outreach on this program, the number of seniors identified as needing LSHV’s assistance continues to grow. A graduate of the State University of New York at Albany, where she was a Presidential Scholar, with an undergraduate degree in economics/finance and a Master’s of Business Administration degree, Steller received her Juris Doctorate from Western New England College School of Law.

HOSPITAL HONORS O’MALLEY In honor of National Hospital Week, May 11-17, Orange Regional Medical Center in Middletown announced its Star of the Year, Jayne O’Malley, a 17-year employee, who also earned this honor in 2005.

According to a statement by the hospital,

BUSINESS LEADER APPOINTED TO UTILITY BOARD Heather C. Briccetti, president and CEO of The Business Council of the State of New York, has been appointed to the board of directors of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. The appointment fulfills the terms of an agreement to increase regional representation on the company’s board of directors when it became the first American utility subsidiary of Canadian holding company Fortis Inc. in June 2013. “We are extremely pleased to welcome Heather to our board and we are certain that her substantial business expertise and governmental-affairs experience will benefit Central Hudson customers immensely,” said H. Stanley Marshall, chairman of the board. Briccetti was named head of The Business Council in January 2012, having joined the council in 2007 when she was named vice president of government affairs.

“But, it is her compassion and deeply caring way with patients and their families, which sets her apart. She welcomes the opportunity to help any patient in need, often going above and beyond to research resources and support.” In addition to her daily responsibilities, O’Malley established a Head and Neck Support Group at Orange Regional in partnership with Support for People with Oral, Head and Neck Cancer, which she also facilitates. O’Malley is currently developing a Lung Cancer Support Group, as well.

NEW HEART PROCEDURE IN THE REGION Dr. Sankar N. Varanasi has completed a medical procedure at Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie to provide a patient with the new S-ICD System, a defibrillator implant that is placed under the skin to monitor heart activity and deliver life-saving therapy if needed. The minimally invasive procedure was the first of its kind completed in the midHudson Valley region. The technology is so advanced that, unlike earlier models of defibrillators, it does not require a wire connected to the heart, but rather operates using electrodes. Instead of reading individual heartbeats, the device picks up broader heart

rhythms, allowing for discrimination between major cardiac events and more minor, treatable episodes. “This is a state-of-the-art option for patients who suffer heart conditions. The defibrillator is inserted under the skin, outside of the chest wall. The recovery times are very quick and the procedure allows for fewer complications,” Varanasi said. “There are no wires connected to the heart and the technology is so advanced that patients will very soon be able to have their reports transmitted electronically from home, saving them significant time in our office for follow-up visits. It is revolutionary and we are thrilled to offer it.”

DAISY AWARD FOR EXTRAORDINARY NURSES Orange Regional Medical Center (ORMC) has partnered with the Daisy Foundation to recognize its nurses for the excellent care they provide to patients. Erin Kirwin, critical care registered nurse, was chosen as the first honoree. She was honored for her care, compassion and professionalism while educating a patient and her family on the donot-resuscitate process and advocating for and providing guidance to the patient and her family during the last days of life. “Erin is a great example of an extraordinary nurse … Nurses are heroes every day. It’s important that our nurses know their work is highly valued and The DAISY Foundation provides a special way for us to do that,” said Joanne Ritter-Teitel, vice president, chief nursing officer. The Daisy Award For Extraordinary Nurses was created in honor of J. Patrick Barnes who died at age 33 from an autoimmune disease. His family was extremely grateful for the nursing care he received that they started a foundation in his honor. For the past 15 years, hospitals across the nation
