MID-HUDSON VALLEY IS NEW YORK’S BREWING CAPITAL

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

hether looking for a classic lager, hoppy IPA, tart sour beer or strong stout, there’s no region in New York with more options for beer drinkers than the Hudson Valley.

There are 65 licensed craft breweries in the Mid-Hudson Valley, according to state data released June 14, leading all of New York state.

The region, which includes Westchester, Rockland, Putnam, Orange, Dutchess, Ulster and Sullivan counties, has added 54 licensed craft breweries since 2012, representing almost 500 percent growth.

The numbers prove the region stands out even within a statewide craft beverage industry that’s doubled in size over the past six years.

The numbers came in an announcement from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office that heralded the state exceeding 1,000 total licenses for craft beverage manufacturers.

That includes wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries.

New York ranks in the top five states for every one of those adult beverages: first in U.S. for the number of hard cider producers, second in craft distillers, third in breweries and fourth in the country for the total number of wineries, according to state data.

The Mid-Hudson Valley has led that growth. The region added » BREWING

Pedal peddlers MEET THE COMPANIES BRINGING DOCKLESS BIKE SHARING TO WESTCHESTER

A

s the lime green and yellow bicycles that dot streets in White Plains and Yonkers attest, bike sharing in Westchester County shifted into high gear quickly.

The county entered 2018 with a grand total of zero bicycles available through organized share programs. By June, there were more than 1,000 total bikes

spread across separate programs in Yonkers, White Plains and New Rochelle.

First was New Rochelle, which partnered with P3 Global Management to launch Westchester’s first bike-share program in May. New Rochelle’s is a docked bike share program, similar to Citi Bike in New York City.

Two weeks later, Yonkers launched a “dockless” program, a model that White Plains followed in its launch at the beginning of June.

Elected officials in all three

cities have praised the programs as ways to help make their communities more environmentally sustainable and healthy, while improving access to downtown shops and train stations.

The dockless bike-share programs engaged by Yonkers and White Plains allow users to pick up a bicycle wherever it is closest and drop it off in a safe spot at their destination, without having to find a designated bike rack.

Mission Taqueria mixes Mexican, family feel in Pleasantville

BY ALEESIA FORNI

“P

laya del Carmen meets New York City in the 914.”

That’s how the owners of Mission Taqueria, the new Mexican fusion restaurant at 472 Bedford Road in Pleasantville, describe the eatery that opened this spring.

“The concept in terms of the design was creating a home on an agave farm,” said Mitchell Dennis, one of the restaurant’s owners. “At the end of the day, workers come together and share the fruits of their labor.”

The 1,600-square-foot eatery features wooden tables and industrial-styled seating, along with a bench dotted with plush pillows that wraps around one side of the restaurant.

The other side is occupied by a bar with a blue-tiled backdrop lined with 16 beer taps and 92 types of tequila and mezcal, an alcoholic beverage made from agave. Decor items range from small, planted cacti to a longhorn cow skull.

Dennis said he hoped to incorporate the feeling of “eating together under the stars,” so strings of lights were installed to hang along the ceiling. Menu items are designed to share, with a range of seafood, salads, steak, tacos and rotisserie chicken.

The restaurant was launched

by Dennis and partners Tony Fortunate and Andrew Kotchen.

Fortunate and Dennis are also the men behind 105-Ten Bar & Grill, an eatery at 127 Woodside Ave. in Briarcliff Manor.

Fortunate has worked in the restaurant industry for more than two decades, beginning as a server and moving up the ranks. He later met Dennis, whose background lies in construction and development, through their children who played soccer together. The two quickly hit it off and soon began talking of opening an eatery together.

“I’m in the restaurant business, he’s a builder,” Fortunate said. “It’s like peanut butter and chocolate, you know? We work well together.”

Fortunate said he had long dreamt of opening a restaurant in his hometown of Briarcliff Manor.

“There was a need for it, and we live there, so we knew it,” Fortunate said.

The two opened 105-Ten in 2014, a restaurant that offers American cuisine like burgers, sandwiches and wraps. At 105-Ten, the duo said they had a vision of

creating a restaurant where members of the community could come together and share a meal.

“You’re sitting amongst your neighbors,” Dennis said. “We used communal tables.”

The two said they had been searching for space to open another restaurant for years and finally got their chance when touring the vacant former bar along Bedford Road.

“I literally said to Mitchell when we came in here, ‘We’re going to take this space. I’m not sure what we’re going to do yet, but we’re going to take this space,’” Fortunate recalled.

The two then “threw around some ideas,” Fortunate said, but it was Dennis, who said he has traveled extensively through Mexico, who came up with the idea for Mission Taqueria.

“I thought there was a void in the market for the kind of modern Mexican we wanted to deliver,” Dennis said.

For the new restaurant, “modern Mexican was the desired fare, but it’s still the same kind of feeling” that the two created at 105Ten, “where we’re bringing people

together to have an experience.”

“The menu is different but it’s the same spirit,” Dennis said. “We still want that feeling of you walk in and you may know your neighbor.

Or if not, you meet people.”

For months prior to the restaurant’s opening, the company would post photos on Instagram, from creative cocktails to ceviche. The photos left many commenters repeatedly questioning when the eatery would finally open.

“It got people’s attention,” said Fortunate of the Instagram push. “It created a buzz.”

Fortunate and Dennis both thank Dennis’ wife, Sheryl, for that buzz. A marketing and public relations guru for more than two decades, Sheryl Dennis not only planned the marketing campaign, but was also instrumental in creating the restaurant’s menu, one that she says places an emphasis on healthy, authentic ingredients.

“We wanted to create something for everyone,” she said, adding that the menu features many vegan options and is 98 percent gluten free. “It’s authentic in its roots, but it’s modern in its presentation.”

“My vision of the menu is that

you could dine here multiple times in a week and not feel that it’s repetitive,” her husband added.

For now, diners will have to enjoy that menu during dinner hours, though the owners say the restaurant is slated to open for lunch service in the coming weeks.

Mission Taqueria has been open only a short time, but Dennis and Fortunate are already planning for the future.

“We’re looking to grow,” Fortunate said, adding of 105-Ten and Mission Taqueria, “we like both concepts.”

The duo already have plans to open a second outpost of their Briarcliff eatery in Croton-onHudson. Deriving its name from the new restaurant’s ZIP code, 105-Twenty will open at 120 Grand St. in the former home of French restaurant Tagine Restaurant and Wine Bar later this summer.

EFCO sours on supplier

or five years, until late 2016, EFCO Products Inc. was satisfied with the Lemon Peel #7 from Vita-Pakt Citrus Products Co. The businesses were a good match.

EFCO, based in Poughkeepsie, makes bakery products for the global market. VitaPakt, based in Covina, California, supplies citrus ingredients.

But a 2016 shipment of Lemon Peel #7, according to a lawsuit filed in federal court in White Plains, was “thoroughly contaminated by the presence of an excessive amount of marketing labels and fragments thereof.”

EFCO is claiming breach of contract, breach of implied warranty and unjust

enrichment. Vita-Pakt has denied the allegation in a court filing.

EFCO — the Effron family — has been selling bakery products in the Hudson Valley for more than a hundred years, according to its website, beginning with flour delivered by horse-drawn cart. Steven L. Effron is president and CEO, Jack and Ira Effron are co-chairmen and Mike Effron is the sales manager.

The business has expanded well beyond bags of flour. Today, the company sells 10to 50-pound pails of bakery fillings and mixes, specialty toppings and beverage syrups. Products include lemon-concentrated icing fruit and crème-style fillings branded

as Golden Lemon, Lemon Crème, Paradise Lemon and Ultimate Lemon.

Customers include wholesale and retail bakeries, chain restaurants and frozen food manufacturers.

EFCO screens suppliers, according to its website, tests ingredients and samples every batch it makes to ensure the safety of its products.

Vita-Pakt was founded in 1947, according to its website, and was one of California’s first fresh orange juice companies. Now it supplies industrial citrus ingredients, including frozen, shredded Lemon Peel #7.

The company cites certifications of its facilities by the Global Food Safety Initiative.

“Our unique set of standards assures that not only are our products safe,” the website states, “but that they exceed the expectations

of the global marketplace.”

EFCO initially filed the lawsuit in state Supreme Court in Dutchess County in April.

The case was transferred to federal court on June 8, at the behest of Vita-Pakt.

EFCO claims that the November 2016 shipment of Lemon Peel #7 was so contaminated that it was unusable and that the company had to spend a lot of money on salvaging a portion of the shipment and on compensating customers who bought lemon products.

It is demanding $109,913 in damages.

Any alterations to Lemon Peel #7 happened after the shipment left its possession and control, Vita-Pakt says in its answer to the complaint, and “damages, if any, were the result of the sole negligence or conduct” of EFCO.

SEC alleges manipulation

T

he U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has accused a Bronxville man of engaging in market manipulation schemes to generate $11.5 million in illegal proceeds from a penny stock.

Joseph A. Fiore, 58, was charged with several securities violations in a lawsuit filed on June 18 in federal court in White Plains.

The complaint also names two companies he controlled: Berkshire Capital Management Co. in Scarsdale and SPYR Inc., formerly known as Eat at Joe’s Ltd., in Denver.

The SEC claims he bought and sold stock in Plandai Biotechnology Inc. and concealed related transactions from 2013 to 2014. The Nevada company has offices in London and produces botanical extracts for the pharmaceutical industry.

Fiore’s attorney, Alexander B. Spiro, was dismissive of the allegations.

“The lawsuit does nothing more than demonstrate a misunderstanding of the transactions at issue,” he said in a brief telephone conversation. “We will answer the allegations in court.”

After acquiring Plandai stock in 2012, the SEC claims, Fiore orchestrated market manipulation campaigns using techniques that have no legitimate business or economic purpose, including scalping, matching, marking the close and printing the tape.

Scalping is the practice of recommending a stock to investors while failing to disclose one’s intent to sell the same stock. Fiore, the SEC claims, paid at least $2.1 million to email subscription services and websites with names such as “Epic Stock Picks,” “Fast Money Alerts” and “Penny Stock Prophet.”

Fiore directed the promoters, the SEC complaint states, to recommend Plandai stock to investors. » » IN COURT

Suite Talk Suite Talk: Rita Mabli, president/CEO of United Hebrew of New Rochelle

F

or the past two decades, United Hebrew president and CEO Rita Mabli has overseen the organization’s expansion and growth in New Rochelle. Today, the organization serves 1,000 seniors daily across six lines of business. On its 7.5-acre campus at 391 Pelham Road, United Hebrew offers an array of services aimed at meeting the needs of today’s seniors.

Here, Mabli chats with Business Journal reporter Aleesia Forni about the state of the health care industry, an aging Westchester County population and moving up the ranks at United Hebrew.

What made you decide to pursue a career in health care?

“When I was 12 and growing up in the Bronx, my dad got sick. It lasted a long time. I’ll never forget how his doctors and nurses cared for him and helped make him more comfortable. They had a way about them, a personal touch, that’s really a gift.

Looking back, I’d say that was the start of my wanting to work in health and human services. Now, when I hear from our residents’ families that the care we provide at United Hebrew is making a difference in their loved one’s lives, I know I made the right choice.”

You later went on to become the �irst female administrator at United Hebrew before you were named the organization’s �irst female CEO. Can you talk a bit about that experience?

“After my father died, it was just my mom and me at home. Because she spent her youth working in a sweatshop, my mother was only able to finish school through the eighth grade. She was

4

JULY 2, 2018

the smartest, most organized woman I have ever known. She encouraged me to study and to strive to be both smart and kind, lessons I have never forgotten. She also instilled in me a desire to work hard. I won scholarships for both high school and college and was the only woman in my MBA thesis program at Iona College.

When I started at United Hebrew in the late 1970s, women were entering the workforce in droves, but typically not planning to take on leadership roles. I was very fortunate to have managers and colleagues who encouraged me to reach higher. I took chances to advance whenever I could. I earned my nursing home administrator’s license while working full time as United Hebrew’s human resources director.

Earning the title of CEO in 1994 was a result of working hard all my life and having a tremendously supportive boss and board of directors.

The number of women in executive positions in health care is somewhat better today than it was then.

Women comprise about 80 percent of all health care workers today, but only 20 percent are at the executive level. I’m proud to say that five of the six lines of business at United Hebrew are headed by women, and women comprise 83 percent of our 800-person staff overall.”

Any advice for other women who might be hoping to advance in male-dominated �ields?

“Work hard, that’s the first thing. There’s simply no substitute for that. You can pave your own path if you are focused and have a strong work ethic. Don’t be afraid to take the job no one wants. It may be messy, but it may also be a chance to prove yourself.

ed living facility for seniors to live on their own with a little help; and a freestanding memory care facility. By the way, our facility, Willow Gardens Memory Care, is Westchester’s first nonprofit residence devoted exclusively to caring for people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other memory impairments.”

Rita Mabli

“I learned early on that some people in

pursuit of their own agendas will do anything or say anything, even if untrue. So I had to toughen up and learn to push back against workplace bullies and troublemakers. First be a diplomat, then turn into a tiger.”

— Rita Mabli Second, be direct. Women are great communicators and you should not hesitate to participate, to contribute and to take your seat at the table. Third, be confident in your abilities.

You’re as smart as everyone else. I feel there is an energy around women today —suffice it to say, women should seize the opportunity to speak up, be heard and control their destiny.”

What are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced over your career and how have you learned from those?

“I learned early on that some people in pursuit of their own agendas will do anything or say anything, even if untrue. So I had to toughen up and learn to push back against workplace bullies and troublemakers. First be a diplomat, then turn into a tiger.”

Can you talk a bit about how United Hebrew has expanded, transformed and diversi�ied over the years?

“Sure. The expansion of our campus has been driven by Westchester’s steadily aging population. People

are living longer with more health issues and they need more care. Therefore, we diversified. We went from our initial mission, to provide a home for the aged, to include more levels of care on a truly innovative, state-of-the-art campus of elder care.

We now provide an array of services to fit the fluctuating health needs of seniors, including a skilled nursing and rehabilitation facility to restore residents to health or provide long-term care if their needs grow; affordable senior housing for seniors with limited income; an assist-

What accomplishment are you most proud of?

“Certainly, I’m incredibly proud of building a campus where seniors can age in place and have their evolving health care needs met. I didn’t do it alone. I am so fortunate to have a supportive, visionary board of directors and a dedicated staff composed of individuals who are committed to their work. We have worked hard to create a culture of kindness and respect, where we treat each other, and our residents, like family. As a result, we have one of the lowest staff turnover rates in New York state. That’s something I’m immensely proud of.”

What’s next for you and United Hebrew? Any big projects on the horizon?

“Our aging population is fueling a rise in the number of individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. While there’s no cure, there’s much we can do for those affected (about 40,000 across the Hudson Valley). We’re undertaking a campuswide specialized dementia training and certification initiative to ensure that our staff has the tools and skills to provide the best quality of life possible for our residents affected by dementia. Our next big milestone is our 100th anniversary. We’ll be celebrating throughout 2019 with special events, reflections, and additional new initiatives. Stay tuned.”

gest operators have launched in Westchester. Lime, which runs the program in Yonkers and is one of two operators in White Plains, was founded last year in Silicon Valley and already is in more than 60 markets. The other White Plains operator, ofo, started in Beijing in 2014 and describes itself as the first and largest provider of dockless bike sharing in the world. The company operates in more than 200 cities worldwide.

“The key to dockless is that it’s a solution to the first and last mile,” said Anna Wan Christie, general manager for ofo’s New York region.

“When you’re looking for a bike, you don’t necessarily

93 craft beverage producers last year, the most in the state.

The region is home to 16 cider producers and 27 distilleries, both of which also lead the state. Meanwhile, its 59 wineries trail only Long Island’s 79 and the Finger Lakes region’s 105.

“These are obviously great numbers for the region and something we’ll continue to see grow, which is exciting,” said Mike Oates, the executive director of the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp.

He said the growth is driven in part by the region’s proximity to the New York City market.

“I also think you can look at some of the success of the earlier breweries in the area: places like Captain Lawrence, Peekskill and Yonkers breweries,” Oates said. “Establishments like that have really started to make a name for themselves and I think that breeds success and competition.”

Tommy Keegan has watched the industry grow up around his brewery, Keegan Ales. When he launched his company out of a defunct brewery space in midtown Kingston in 2003, he said his operation joined just a couple restaurant breweries as the only beer producers between New York City and Albany.

want to walk several blocks to find and drop off that bike.

Dockless allows you to pick up a bike anywhere and drop it off where you want to go.”

The bikes are equipped with GPS and unlocked with an app, with rides for both companies starting at $1.

Once a trip is complete, the rider places the bike in an area that doesn’t block traffic, pulls its lock down and ends their ride on the app.

The programs don’t require any upfront investment from the cities, as the bikes and systems are maintained by the companies. Both White Plains and Yonkers have access to ridership data from the companies that it can consider when developing its bike and

pedestrian infrastructure.

The early results have been promising. Lime announced last week that the company’s bikes reached 30,000 trips within its first month operating in Yonkers, with residents and visitors now averaging 1,000 trips per day.

“What we’ve seen is that in Yonkers, you don’t have a ton of alternative transportation options,” said Gil Kazimirov, Lime’s New York general manager. “If you don’t have a car, it can be tricky to get around. People have really taken this up because they see it for what it is, which is a cheap way to get around.”

The results have helped answer concerns Kazimirov said he heard early on about the city’s bike-share market.

Island, attributed the growth to several factors. Craft beer’s popularity spread from the West Coast to the east, and New York made brewing licenses easier to come by.

“The Hudson Valley itself has got a reputation for its agriculture community, not just in the beer world but in many ways,” Keegan said.

“The beer world has been able to follow that.”

Yonkers Brewing Co. was established six years ago, just as the region’s major growth in breweries and craft beverage producers was getting started. Founder John Rubbo said the brewery focuses on beers “for the everyday consumer as they’re experimenting a bit more in craft beer.”

Though with a new head brewer, Yonkers is expanding its options.

To Rubbo, more breweries means more interest in trying Hudson Valley beers.

“More and more people want to drink something local,” Rubbo said. “Having so many awesome local breweries, it makes it such an easy choice to say ‘I want to drink something local and I want to drink something high quality.’”

Sing Sing Kill Brewery in Ossining is the newest brewer on the block for Westchester.

Its tasting room opened on Spring Street in the village at the beginning of June.

Co-owner Eric Gearity told the Business Journal that the main reason for opening in Ossining was simple: it’s where he and his co-owner

live and they wanted to brew beer and help their downtown at the same time.

But Gearity said there are advantages specific to being in the Hudson Valley and New York. Sing Sing Kill is a farm brewery that relies on access to high-quality malt and hops grown in the region.

He also agreed that the Hudson Valley’s proximity to New York City provides an advantage. A New York City beer lover could hop on a train out of Grand Central and make stops at the Yonkers Brewery, Sing Sing Kill and Peekskill Brewery, not to mention options at points farther north in Beacon and Poughkeepsie.

“The more breweries there are in a region, the more that region becomes a destination for tourism, and especially people seeking breweries,” Gearity said.

The governor said at least part of the state’s explosive growth can be attributed to policy changes. Cuomo’s announcement described hearing out craft beverage businesses in a 2012 summit and then adjusting laws and regulations to make it easier to open for business.

Those efforts include lowering taxes and fees, creating new licenses for craft breweries and cideries and cutting the time it takes to receive a license.

warning systems designed to deter people from leaving bicycles outside of the company’s operating zone.

Meanwhile, the future of dockless transportation is already moving beyond pedal bikes to include a mix of other transportation modes, such as electric scooters and electric bikes. In May, Lime dropped the bike from its initial “LimeBike” name.

“Lime started with pedal bikes, but the vision has always been much bigger than that,” Kazimirov said. “The idea is to deploy a system of mobility devices, however you find them. Our approach is, let’s give people a really easy way to get around their cities. One that’s cheap and that’s convenient.”

Plains overall may not have the same density as markets such as San Diego and Seattle, “the ridership has been really good on a number of bikes,” Christie added.

The key for both companies is making sure bikes are left in places that people will use them, ideally train stations and around downtown.

Using the GPS data, ofo and Lime technicians can track the most popular areas and make sure bikes that reach far-flung locales are repositioned daily to more useful locations.

“We can see both where the bikes are constantly out-flowing, and where we need to pick bikes back up,” Christie said.

Both companies also have

“For Yonkers, the terrain is super hilly, right? People said no one is going to ride them,” Kazimirov. “Or, they said that everyone who wants to ride a bike already owns a bike. Both those things turned out not to be true.”

Meanwhile, in White Plains, popularity has surged around the city’s train station.

“People have loved taking the bikes from the outer ring of the city into the train station,” Kazimirov said. “It’s just too short for a car ride, but too long to walk. So it’s that perfect in-between.”

That tracks with what ofo has found as well.

“The train station and downtown area has been a really popular corridor,” Christie said. While White

and beverage industry. As Oates describes it, there are a number of related businesses that grow along with the craft beverage industry.

Retailers and restaurants can attract new clientele by offering locally produced options. Visitors to breweries and wineries drive tourism spending. Farms in turn would add hops and malt grain to their crops.

Cuomo’s announcement cited a Cornell University study that found the acreage of hops grown in New York has nearly doubled from 2014 to 2016, and the acreage of malting barley has increased by 374 percent in the same period, from 422 acres to about 2,000 acres.

New York doesn’t keep exact data on employment in the brewing or craft beverage industries, but

a federal Department of Labor report released last year found that nationwide employment in breweries increased 135 percent from 2010 to 2016, with the industry adding 33,716 jobs.

Within the Mid-Hudson Valley, Ulster County is easily home to the most craft beverage producers, with 53 total.

Ulster residents and visitors can choose from 27 wineries, 14 breweries, 8 distilleries and 4 cideries within county lines, according to data provided by the New York State Liquor Authority.

Orange County has the second most craft beverage producers with 37 — 15 wineries, 12 breweries, 7 distilleries and 3 cideries.

Westchester County, meanwhile, features 4 wineries, 11 breweries, 5 distilleries and 2 cideries, according to

state data.

The natural question amid the rapid growth is whether a beer boom could eventually result in a beer bust.

Keegan cautioned that the road to success could grow tougher for local breweries as competition increases.

“There’s a lot of breweries and a lot of different beers in every brewery,” Keegan said.

“But the number of tap handles in the market, and shelves in the supermarket, are not growing at the same rate, so the pie is getting thinner.”

He said having a point of differentiation or specialized product will be important for breweries. That, and an established local brand.

“For the breweries that have a strong local following, that can help carry them through some dangerous seas,” Keegan said.

State agencies ask feds to review risks of gas pipeline near Indian Point Washington policymakers must stand up for America’s newspapers and printers and over 600,000 jobs.

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

A

group of New York state agencies raised concerns in a new report about a natural gas pipeline that runs near Indian Point Energy Center.

The agencies released on June 22 the executive summary of a long-awaited safety assessment of the Algonquin Incremental Market natural gas pipeline, which brings natural gas from Pennsylvania into New England. Its route runs underneath the Hudson River about a quarter-mile from the Indian Point nuclear power plant in Buchanan.

The report is a joint effort from the state Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services and departments of Public Service, Environmental Conservation and Health.

The state agencies asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which regulates interstate pipelines, to take steps to offset risks associated with the pipeline's proximity to the nuclear plant. One of those steps is banning further capacity on the pipelines near the plant while Indian Point is still operational.

“While the probability of pipeline incidents is low, the proximity to the Indian Point nuclear plant makes the potential consequences of such an event very significant,” read a statement from the state agencies.

“Additional scrutiny and

monitoring to better understand and reduce risks associated with the Algonquin pipelines is warranted.”

The study reviewed three pipelines in the vicinity of the plant that are each owned by Algonquin Gas Transmission LLC: two 26-inch pipelines that have been in operation for several years and the 42-inch AIM pipeline that was approved in 2015 by FERC. Algonquin Gas Transmission LLC is a subsidiary of Enbridge Inc., a publicly traded company that is Canada's largest natural gas distribution provider.

The safety assessment from the state’s engineering consultant, HDR Engineering Inc., concludes that risks of a potential pipeline incident are reduced by the upcoming closing of Indian Point’s nuclear reactors in 2021 and the removal of spent nuclear fuel from the site that the report says will follow.

But, the summary of the report argues, “ongoing public concern in the local communities, and the nature of the critical infrastructure involved” should prompt further review of the project by FERC. The state requested that FERC do the following: • Not approve any additional capacity or increased pressure at the pipelines near Indian Point. The report said high demand for natural gas could lead to Enbridge requesting to send more gas at a higher pressure, which would go beyond what the safety assessments of the

original FERC approvals considered.

• Conduct regular communications between the pipeline owner and Indian Point owner and operator Entergy Corp. on incident-prevention activities and emergency preparedness.

• Require regular testing of the pipeline’s capabilities to shut down quickly in the case of an event at Indian Point.

• Coordinate a review of Entergy’s decommissioning plan for Indian Point, once its filed, for any potential impact on the pipelines.

The expanded Algonquin Incremental Market natural gas pipeline runs through New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The nearly billion-dollar project received federal approvals while held by Spectra Energy Partners LP, which Enbridge acquired last year for $28 billion. The plan added 11.1 miles of 42-inch-diameter pipeline and replaced 26.3 miles total along the route.

Amid heavy pressure from local and environmentalist grassroots groups concerned about the safety risks of the pipeline, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s administration ordered a safety assessment of the pipeline in February 2016. Activists have since pushed for the report to be released publicly, and it was for the first time June 22.

The state agencies asked FERC to keep the full report confidential, noting it contains sensitive information on the pipelines and nuclear reactor.

it stands alone.

In Court—

“You have a money-making opportunity with PLPL like no other,” one promoter touted in October 2013, referring to Plandai’s ticker symbol, “so get in while you can. Go with the experts. Buy PLPL now!”

Matching is the tactic of creating “wash trades” to create the appearance of legitimate market activity. Fiore is accused of buying and selling the same amounts of Plandai stock at the same prices on the same days.

In the “marking the close” scheme, trades are executed at or near the close of the market to artificially inflate the end-of-day share price and create the appearance of active trading. Fiore, the SEC complaint states, set Plandai’s closing price at least 18 times.

The “painting the tape” deception involves repeated purchases of stock on the same day, artificially inflating the price and creating the appearance of active trading.

On July 9, 2013, for instance, Fiore executed seven trades in seven minutes, increasing the share price by 12 percent.

The SEC said Fiore masked his ownership of Plandai stock and concealed his intentions to investors by submitting false reports to brokerage firms and by not filing a mandatory SEC report.

Fiore made trades through six brokerage accounts connected to him, Berkshire or Eat at Joe’s, the SEC said, often selling Plandai shares on the same day or within a week of the promotions, generating $11,521,778.

The SEC describes Berkshire as a private equity firm that provides financing to penny stock companies. Eat at Joe’s claimed to develop, own and operate theme restaurants by that name, the complaint states, but only operated a cheesesteak stand at the Philadelphia airport that has since closed.

The SEC is asking the court to bar Fiore and Berkshire from trading in penny stocks, bar Fiore from acting as in officer or director of any company that has registered securities, and order Fiore and his companies to “disgorge all ill-gotten gains they received.”

ney. “We will try to see what we can do to accommodate them,” said Sachs. “We are still reviewing the complaint, but generally Bedford is a very horse friendly town and very supportive of horse farmers and people who ride horses.”

Bedford describes itself as one of the

last remaining horse communities in the country with more than 150 miles of riding trails, picturesque paddocks, backyard horse barns, a history of breeding thoroughbred champions and a tradition of equine events and competitions.

Tanrackin boards horses on a 17.5-acre farm on Broad Brook Road, with a house, cottage, two barns with 19 stalls, paddocks, an indoor riding ring, an outdoor wash stall and a utility barn. The property, owned by Robert S. Mancini, is zoned residential but is also in Westchester County Agricultural District No. 1.

Tanrackin applied for a permit in 2009 to build two farmworker apartments in the utility barn. The town refused to consider the application, the complaint states, because accessory housing is not allowed in the residential zone.

Tanrackin asked the state Department of Agriculture and Markets to review the decision. State laws, the lawsuit claims, prohibit local governments from restricting farm operations unless public health or safety is threatened.

An agriculture official ruled that Bedford had unreasonably restricted a commercial horse boarding operation.

Tanrackin built the apartments.

Last year, the Bedford planning department cited the farm for not having a building permit, certificate of occupancy or certificate of compliance for the farmworker housing. A separate violation had been issued for failure to get permits for a three-stall shed for temporarily housing horses.

Tanrackin applied for a building permit for the shedrow and tried to submit an application for the apartments, attorney Nancy Tagliafierro states in the complaint, but the town insisted that the farm must first get zoning variances.

The housing poses no public health or safety threats, the complaint states, and the shedrow is an agricultural building that is not used for human habitation.

Tanrackin is asking the court to declare that state agriculture law preempts Bedford town code, that the housing was unreasonably restricted and that the shedrow is exempt from the local building code.

Horse farm sues over worker housing

B

edford promotes itself as a “unique and special home for horse-loving families,” but a recent lawsuit suggests that the town is less friendly toward horse farm workers.

Tanrackin Farm sued Bedford in Westchester Supreme Court on June 14, claiming that the town has improperly restricted farmworker housing and agricultural buildings.

“The town has a history of unreasonably and unfairly imposing unnecessary rules and regulations against the farm,” the complaint states, “in an effort to frustrate the business.”

Bedford Supervisor Chris Burdick said he was not familiar with the lawsuit and he deferred to Joel H. Sachs, the town attor-

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: In every small business, it’s marketing’s job to push up the volume in the sales pipeline.

Think of the pipeline in stages from identifying suspects to reeling them into a discussion with your company.

Build tools for each stage of the pipeline.

Most small businesses don’t really have a marketing department. It’s usually part of someone’s job, if marketing exists at all, and usually there are few if any accountabilities tied to how well that job does or doesn’t get done. Formalizing the role and responsibilities around marketing can help to increase the company’s long-term success in sales.

Think about who should have responsibility for marketing, even if it’s part time.

Decide what skills need to be added, whether through additional hires, more education or using vendors to supplement the team.

Set up standard pipeline stages, starting with identifying suspects — all people in the world who have characteristics similar to your best customers. Next stage would be all people in the world who have looked for a similar product or service within the year. Then refine that group down to all people in the world who know about your company. And finally, all people in the world who have expressed interest in knowing more about your company’s products or services. At that point the leads get turned over to sales to reel them into a discussion with your company.

Knowing the quantities of each stage and what typical percentage converts

from one stage of the funnel to the next helps you evaluate where to focus your marketing efforts. Compare the number of leads currently being turned over to sales to the number of leads your salespeople need in order to achieve their sales goals. Look for big gaps between stages and think about ways to push more suspects from one stage of the funnel into the next.

Tools for each part of the pipeline should help you to pull in visitors and educate them. Create a reason for them to engage.

Test the tools and repeat usage of the ones that work. Revise the ones that don’t seem so productive until they deliver results.

Measure results in terms of awareness of your company, often referred to as eyeballs, and engagement with your company in the form of inquiries, acceptance of offers and taking calls from your sales people.

Grab attention and then hang onto it with each suspect your company crosses paths with. Build marketing pieces and test which ones grab your suspects’ attention. Try snail mail — it works better today, since fewer and fewer marketing companies spend money, time and effort pumping out printed content. Try promotions to current customers, rewarding them for referring new contacts to you. Try landing pages that make people aware of some aspect of your company. Try advertising to bring in interest — both in print and over the internet.

Try blogs, videos, podcasts, infographics — all informational and educational tools

designed to grab someone’s interest and lead them to you. Make sure that your website is set up to capture interest and lead a suspect to engage by leaving some kind of a footprint. Think in terms of offers to provide demos, white papers, additional product or s ervice information.

The best footprint is always an inquiry with a name, phone number and email address. But you can also make it work if you get people to tell you what groups they belong to and where else they hang out so you can direct your salespeople to places where they’re more likely to find active prospects.

Set up measures that help identify which parts of the marketing funnel are getting traction and which need work. Require a weekly update on actions being taken in marketing. Meet regularly to discuss progress and brainstorm additional actions to take.

Global diabetes care company Ascensia opens research headquarters in Valhalla

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

W

alking through the nearly finished labs of the new research offices for Ascensia Diabetes Care in Valhalla, Rick Stadterman said one thing he wanted to be sure of was that the labs weren’t too small.

Within the roomy labs of the company’s 65,000-square-foot space at 100 Summit Lake Drive, which includes a separate floor of lab and clinical space, Ascensia’s research teams should have plenty of room.

Stadterman is the global head of research and development for Ascensia, an international producer of diabetes care devices that plans to eventually employ about 160 people in Westchester County. The company was still settling in to its 11-year lease for twofloors at the SL Green-owned building when Stadterman gave the Business Journal a tour at the end of June.

Ascensia’s main product is its Contour line of blood glucose monitoring systems. The company is one of the top four worldwide producers of glucose monitors and strips.

Ascensia global corporate headquarters are in Switzerland, its products are manufactured in Japan, and its U.S corporate headquarters is in Parsippany, New Jersey. But the company will focus its global research and development efforts in the Valhalla office. The space includes a floor of offices and conference rooms beneath a floor of wet and mechanical labs, including a separate clinical trials space that will open soon.

Despite the company’s global presence, the name Ascensia is not quite a household name. That’s partly

because it’s a fairly new one.

The company was formed in 2016, when Bayer sold its diabetes care business for $1.15 billion to Panasonic Healthcare Holdings (now PHC Holdings), a business spun out of Panasonic Corp. and backed by the private equity firm KKR & Co. LP. PHC Holdings owns two related companies: Ascensia Diabetes Care, which develops and markets the diabetes care products, and PHC, which manufactures the meters and other products sold by Ascensia.

The Contour line includes the blood test strips and monitors used by people diagnosed with type 1 and type 2 diabetes to measure the level of glucose in their blood.

The company’s latest product line, Contour Next One, syncs user results to a mobile app via Bluetooth. The app, Contour Diabetes, provides users feedback through algorithms that analyze and find patterns in user results.

“Say you’re sugar has been low every afternoon for the past four weeks, would you like to look into this?”

Stadterman explains. “And then you can start going through some queries.”

The idea is that by providing what they describe as actionable information, the app can help people better manage their condition. If a person’s glucose levels are high every Tuesday, the app can highlight that and ask a series of prompts to identify possible causes.

“Is every Tuesday your pizza lunch with the buddies?” Stadterman provides as an example.

The extra level of information is especially important for a disease such as diabetes, where most of the daily care is managed by the people themselves, not doctors.

Stadterman said the goal of the business is to go beyond simple measurement

by “trying to move patients toward behavior change.”

It’s the modern form of a product that Ascensia has been developing for more than 70 years, by its reckoning, albeit through different companies and ownerships.

The company traces its roots to the 1940s, when Ames, part of Miles Laboratories in Elkhart, Indiana, began production of diagnostic strips that measured glucose in urine. It would take another decade before Ames developed Dextrostix, the first test strip for glucose levels in blood. In 1977, the German company Bayer greatly expanded its U.S. presence by acquiring Miles, which also produced and developed Alka Seltzer.

Bayer’s diabetes care unit included a research and operations office in Tarrytown. That’s part of

how Stadterman said the company chose Westchester County for its global research headquarters. But he added that the New York City region is one of the best in the country for life sciences and medical device talent.

“There’s an infrastructure of people, both technical and engineering, scientific and clinical, people within the area that we can draw on as we hire more people,” he said, adding that the region’s universities can provide potential interns and future employees as well.

The company has about 80 employees at the Valhalla offices, with plans to reach 150. Another 10 to 15 employees will also work at an office in what Stadterman calls a software incubator that will build on its app and other online offerings.

Ascensia is also working to build up its network of local patients it can call on for clinical trials. The trials will focus mostly on testing the accuracy of the company’s blood glucose sensors, as well as the user-friendliness of its meters.

In the press release announcing the deal and the company’s creation, Ascensia noted the World Health Organization estimates nearly 350 million people live with diabetes globally and rates of diagnoses are expected to rise.

But while the number of people who require the type of products Ascensia makes is expected to grow, the industry has faced pressures from insurers and state health care providers offering lower reimbursement rates for products, as Bayer noted in its 2015

WCBJ

annual report.

KKR’s purchase of Bayer’s diabetes care division created what Stadterman said was the “perfect combination.”

KKR was able to essentially pair the Bayer division with Panasonic Healthcare, which was already manufacturing the Contour devices Bayer Diabetes Care developed and marketed.

“We have the best of both worlds,” Stadterman said. “A commercial and R&D side, combined with manufacturing side, in one company.”

And as the company’s researchers continue to refine Ascensia’s products for 21st century demands, those efforts will be led from Valhalla.

“We’re going to be here for a while,” Stadterman said. “And I think there’s a great opportunity for us to grow.”

Don’t let busyness stop you from being healthy

BY DR. SHIREEN PAIS

I

t sometimes seems like busyness is a basic requirement for living in the tristate area. From care giving for children and aging relatives to balancing the needs of family and work, the demands on our time and attention are vast. The start of the New Year is a period we often set new goals and lifestyle changes into motion.

However, summer can also be a time of change. We tend to slow down a bit and spend more time outdoors. We schedule vacations and reconnect with family and friends.

Summer can be an opportune time to examine overall health and well-being and kick-start a healthy lifestyle that will benefit you for years to come.

EAT LIKE YOUR ANCESTORS

With so many diet fads coming in and out of favor,

it can be challenging to keep up, let alone know what’s the best way to nourish our bodies. My advice: eat like your ancestors. To be clear, you don’t need to go too far back in the family tree, but try to emulate the eating habits of your great-grandparents. Focus on eating less red meat and processed foods. Avoid consuming nitrates, charred food, high fructose corn syrup and excess sugars. Whole grains such as quinoa, barley and farro are an excellent source of fiber and protein, which are key to a healthful diet. Be sure to include plenty of fresh vegetables with different sources of greens, yellows, purples and oranges. Vegetables can be raw or cooked, but not overcooked. And, the good news is that summer is the perfect time to incorporate a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables into your meals, with a many kinds selections in-season.

KEEP YOUR MICROBIOME HAPPY

Although it may not be the most glamorous body system to think about, the microbiome — the ecosystem of bacteria within our bodies — plays an integral role in our health.

Not only is an unhealthy microbiome connected to autoimmune diseases, fatigue and joint pain, mood disorders, diabetes, obesity and allergies, it also helps determine our predisposition to various diseases and our unique integrated DNA. We need to populate our gastrointestinal tract with prebiotics and probiotics to maintain an environment where the right bacteria can flourish.

Supplements containing bacterial strains aren’t FDA approved, so there’s no way to know what’s truly inside.

It’s best to get your prebiotics and probiotics straight from the source. Once again,

fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as ancient grains and legumes are ideal prebiotic foods and yogurt, kefir, kombucha, kimchi and other fermented foods are excellent options for probiotics.

GET MOVING

Fatigue often accompanies busyness. And when we’re fatigued we’re more likely to eat junk and less likely to follow a healthful diet.

We’re also apt to drink less water and more alcohol. As a result, our sleep patterns suffer, and we wind up in a downward spiral of fatigue.

Although exercise can feel like the last thing we want to do, in fact it’s the best remedy for fatigue. Exercise gives us the same dopamine rush as eating junk food, but without the health consequences. It also promotes GI tract movement, better responses to insulin, and has been shown

to decrease multiple primary cancers as well as heart disease and strokes.

HELP YOUR FUTURE SELF

Despite leading busy lives, many of us put time and resources toward planning for our financial future. We open 401k and 529 accounts.

We meet with our financial planners and accountants to think long-term about our financial health and security. In the midst of busy, we must not forget to invest in our health, too. Research shows poor digestive health is directly linked to cancer, obesity and diabetes. Take care of yourself now. Trust me; your future self will thank you for it.

FAILING TO PLAN IS PLANNING TO FAIL

It sometimes seems like stress is a basic requirement for living in the tristate area.

While we may not be able to completely rid ourselves of stress, there are steps we can take to manage it. Take charge of your overall health by setting attainable nutrition, fitness and self-care goals. Make meal planning and prepping a priority. Yes, it feels like a lot of work, but when you’re running to a meeting or soccer practice you’ll be grateful you don’t have to worry about what’s for dinner. Schedule exercise as if it’s a meeting or appointment you cannot miss. Put it on your calendar and show up. By becoming mindful about lifestyle changes, you’ll feel in control of your life, despite the stress and busyness.

Can fast-food restaurants successfully offer healthier meals?

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

D

uring a recent investors’ conference, Starbucks President and CEO Kevin Johnson noted that Frappuccino sales were down 3 percent in the company’s U.S. stores since 2015.

The reason, he explained, was a consumer shift away from sugary and high-calorie drinks.

“We must move faster to address the more rapidly changing preferences and needs of our customers,” Johnson said.

The company, he added, is responding to consumer demand by introducing healthier drinks such as the Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refresher, which carries 100 calories — considerably lower than the Frappuccinos with a caloric range between 350 and 520. But healthier is not necessarily synonymous with healthy: The Mango Dragonfruit Starbucks Refresher comes with 19 grams of sugar, which is lower than the 65 grams in the average Frappucino cup, but still on the high side.

Starbucks is the latest chain to promote itself as offering healthier choices in food and drinks. And while Starbucks has hit a bump in the road — the company is planning to shutter 150 of its underperforming stores next year — there is little evidence that the overall fastfood world is showing signs of tumult. Indeed, new data from Transparency Market Research has forecasted the global industry will be worth $617.6 billion by the end of 2019, a 4.40 percent compound annual growth rate increase from the $477.1 billion level set in 2013.

“Quick service restaurants have been unique to the American experience starting in the 1950s,” said J. Thomas Failla, director of hospitality management and culinary arts at Norwalk Community

College. “The fast pace of our society lends itself to this type of establishment, along with the franchising opportunities that it offers.”

It also seems that a faster life pace would ensure that rapid food service will have a solid audience.

“People don’t have time to go out for lunch,” said Mia Schipani, principal at Schipani PR in Stamford.

“And the need for healthy food on the fly is huge.”

This is not a brand-new trend. Over the past several years, a number of fast- food chains have introduced salads, grilled chicken and other menu choices, and some chains have promoted ingredient changes in food preparation. But can fast-food eateries benefit from having a more diverse blend of selections promoted as being healthier for consumers?

“Yes, absolutely,” said Sharon Arena, owner and creative director of Salty Red Dog Marketing LLC in Norwalk. “People want choices. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more gluten-free, vegan or vegetarian options.”

Constantine Kalandranis, the owner of two Westchester restaurants and president of Kalandranis Consulting, a food trade consultancy based in Harrison, believed that the fast-food eateries have no choice.

“It’s a matter of survival for the fast-food restaurants,” he said. “People eat out more and restaurants are becoming their homes. This is part of the evolution of food and the way people are dining. We’ve seen more high-end franchises over the last five years that have better ingredients and contracts with farms.”

Nikki Wingate, assistant professor and department chair of marketing at the University of Bridgeport’s Ernest C. Trefz School of Business, said the fast-food outlets have their work cut out for them.

“Research suggests that

changing the brand’s core image or core benefits will be difficult but not impossible,” she said. “By emphasizing ‘convenience’ and ‘speed’ as their primary brand benefits, instead of ‘greasy food’ as their core benefit when they offer healthy food options, fast-food eateries may be able to mitigate the formerly inevitable associations of unhealthy offerings. This will be possible only if those healthy food options are reliable in execution each and every time. For example, if you see brown edges of lettuce in the salad once, you would never order it again.”

Wingate predicted that customers who would never consider frequenting a McDonald’s or a KFC might be willing to venture to these locations if they are convinced by “authentic word of mouth reviews.” Yet Wingate added that sometimes these efforts have counterproductive results.

“Interestingly, research has shown that even if these consumers are lured into fastfood restaurants by healthy options, they surprisingly end up choosing unhealthy options — fries, for example — to eat during their actual visit,” she said.

Katie Diehl, owner of Norwalk-based Diehl Nutrition, has a simple answer when her clients ask her about fast-food restaurants.

“I tell them not to eat there,” she said. “I preach about the quality of food — be aware, to the best of your ability, where your food is coming from. More and more people are very aware of the quality of food and the types of food available today.”

Diehl added that the fastfood industry is, ultimately, not putting healthier items on their menu out of concerns for the customers’ wellness.

“When you think of McDonald’s, you don’t think health,” she said. “The fastfood restaurants are in it for the money — it’s a very lucrative business.”

Simplifying the conveyance of a second home in another state

Anthony J. Enea

BY ANTHONY J. ENEA

A

ccording to the Pew Research Center, every day approximately 10,000 baby boomers reach 65 years of age. As the approximately 65 million surviving members of the baby boomer generation retire, it is not unusual for them to own homes in multiple states. In fact, it is

very common for a retiree in New York to own a second home in any other state where they might spend their winters, while continuing to own a home in New York.

Although the second home may be jointly titled with one’s spouse with rights of survivorship, upon the demise of the joint titleholder the home will automatically transfer to the surviving spouse. If this is the case or if the second home is titled only in one’s sole name, the result will be additional complexities and costs at the time of death of the sole owner. For example, it would be necessary that a probate or administrative proceeding (if there was no will) be filed in the county where one died in New York, but also necessitates an ancillary

probate or ancillary administration proceeding be started in the state where the second home is located. This will require that an executor or administrator be first appointed by the court in New York and receive letters of testamentary or letters of administration from the surrogate’s court here and then retain an attorney in the state where the second home is located to allow its sale.

The need for an ancillary probate or ancillary administration proceeding will result in additional legal fees, court filing fees, maintenance and upkeep for the second home as a result of delays in being able to sell the home after the owner’s demise. These delays and expenses can all be avoided if one’s primary residence and second home

are owned by either a revocable living trust and/or an irrevocable trust, which is used for long-term care and Medicaid assets protection planning purposes.

If one’s primary residence and second home have been transferred to either trust during one’s life, then upon one’s demise there is no need to commence a probate proceeding for the primary residence or an ancillary probate proceeding for the second home in the state where the second home is located.

The trustee(s) named in either trust will be given the immediate ability to list and market for sale either the primary residence and/ or second home, and if they believe it is appropriate to do so (after all bills and taxes have been paid)

convey the homes to the named beneficiaries. There are no court filling fees required for either home and no court delays.

Having the ability to avoid the expensive and time-consuming proceedings by utilizing a trust to hold title to one’s home and other assets is invaluable. In spite of best efforts by attorneys and the courts to minimize the delays and complexities of a probate and/or administration proceeding, they are often inevitable.

For example, if one were to pass and is survived by a spouse, child and/or grandchild that is a beneficiary under a will or an heir at law in an administration proceeding that is a “person under a disability,” it would be necessary for said person to be listed as such

in the court papers, thus, necessitating appointment of a guardian ad litem in the proceeding to represent and protect the disabled person’s interests in the proceeding. This results in additional court delays as the guardian ad litem needs to file his or her report with the court and will also be entitled to a fee for his or her services. Again, a cost and complexity that could have been easily avoided with the use of a revocable or irrevocable trust.

Aging in place: Staying home has benefits as well as pitfalls

Linda Eliovson

BY LINDA ELIOVSON

I

f we had the choice, many of us would opt to stay in our own homes from retirement to our last days, rather than move to an assisted living community or nursing home. We’d be in familiar surroundings, reducing the stress of moving to a new location and being among strangers.

Those of us lucky enough to enjoy this option should consider important issues before making this decision.

First, establish legal protections for your health and finances, such as powers of attorney and living wills with designation of health care representatives. Even if we are in the early years of retirement and relatively young, both physically and chronologically, we should decide who will handle our affairs if we become incapacitated. Establishing a power of attorney is a relatively simple procedure, but it requires a major element of trust; due diligence is required when selecting a person to represent us.

Connecticut’s new Uniform Power of Attorney Act first became effective in 2016. These powers of attorney are presumed to

be durable meaning they will survive anyone’s incapacity or incompetence and are expressly unaffected by the lapse of time.

Banks and financial institutions are obligated to recognize these powers even if the documents are many years old. Previously, financial institutions claimed the powers of attorney were “stale” and would not honor the powers granted by individuals who now could not execute new documents.

Of great concern are today’s digital assets. The new powers of attorney address these, as well as allowing access to retirement funds, management of trusts and tax planning, plus other issues.

Living wills also have been updated. They provide for the pre-designation of a conservator (guardian) of a person and have expanded powers to ensure that as we age in place our health care

Establishing a power of attorney is a relatively simple procedure, but it requires a major element of trust.

wishes will be met.

We should take measures to protect ourselves in other ways, too. Think about the house itself — it may have to be renovated to provide access for us when we no longer have our full strength, balance and agility. Stairs may be obstacles. Bathtubs and showers may need refiguring or replacing for added safety.

A major issue is when to give up driving and rely on others for shopping, medical appointments, dining and visiting friends.

This is not easy. Depending on the capabilities of the individual — eyesight, hearing, physical dexterity, competence — many states allow driving well into the 80s and even 90s.

Alternatively, there are myriad ride services available to the elderly.

Nutrition is a critical consideration. Living alone can negatively impact our mental state, lessening attention to meals, which can result in longterm nutritional deficiencies and dehydration. A potassium deficiency, for instance, can mimic the symptoms of dementia, so our diet — or lack thereof — is a priority.

Aging in place can be a positive experience, safeguarding a lifetime of memories and the enjoyment of the fruits of previous years of labor that are hard to duplicate elsewhere. A proactive approach by family members and caregivers can help avoid pitfalls that might arise.

GOOD THINGS SUPERHEROES GRADUATE FROM COLEMAN SCHOOL

And you thought superheroes were only in comic books and the movies. Actually, they were alive and well on the White Plains campus of the John A. Coleman School which recently held its Superhero Training Program graduation. The Coleman School provides a community-based special education program for young children.

Rosie Puthiyamadam, a physical therapist at the school, developed the superhero program during the last school year after a student said that he didn’t want to take part in an activity because he couldn’t walk the same way as his peers. “I told him that Spiderman and Batman don’t fly the same way, but that has never stopped either of them from flying,” she said.

At the end of the school year, 31 children graduated from the superhero strength and conditioning program that motivates students on their “epic quest” to achieve their physical therapy goals and develop their own inner “superhero.” Graduates received a personalized cape and certificate to commemorate their success.

Maureen Tomkiel, the school’s executive director, said, “Our children have taught One of the Coleman School’s “superheroes,” identified only us that super powers are within all of us. They are our role models for turning the ‘I as Mateo. can’t’ into the ‘I did.’”

BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY IN SCARSDALE We’ve been in the age of full-color digital photography so long that there are people who scratch their heads at the mention of film, negatives, print paper and even black and white images. For those, and anyone with an appreciation of black and white photography as art, Madelyn Jordon Fine Art at 37 Popham Road in Scarsdale is presenting an exhibition of 30 photographs by Vivian Maier through Aug. 11.

It is the first exhibition of Maier’s photography in Westchester. Her black and white photographs, mostly from the ’50s and ’60s, provide glimpses of the architecture, street life, children, women, elderly and indigent in Chicago and New York City. The New York Times has recognized her as “one of America’s more insightful street photographers.”

The gallery also will present a free screening of the 2015 Oscar-nominated documentary “Finding Vivian Maier” on July 12 at 7 p.m.

WORKER HONORED FOR COMPASSION Felix Colon, who for almost 30 years has worked at the Regional Economic Community Action Program (RECAP) in the Hudson Valley, was recognized for his dedicated and compassionate service to those seeking services for substance-use disorder.

But, Colon isn’t a doctor or social worker; he’s the program’s driver and also serves as the resident master gardener.

Colon, 79, is based at RECAP’s New Life Manor, a halfway house in Newburgh. He was honored with the New York State Community Action Association’s NYSCAA Service Award at the 2018 Annual Awards event in Albany.

The award recognizes community action workers who exhibit professionalism, cultural competence, and willingness to go above and beyond while pursuing the mission and values of community action.

THREE PROJECTS HONORED

ARC GOLF OUTING RAISES $260K

There was a tribute to Carol Muller, a teacher who died earlier this year.

Jackie Logozio, a full-time substitute teacher at The Children’s School, was honored with the Building Futures Award. Richard P. Swierat, who recently retired as Arc’s executive director, was

recognized with the first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award.

Nancy Patota, executive director of The Arc Westchester Foundation, said, “Early intervention is key to developing a child’s full potential, but state funding to support such services continues to fall short.

White Plains Hospital’s Center for Cancer Care.

WHITE PLAINS HOSPITAL REACCREDITED FOR BREAST CARE The Breast Program at White Plains Hospital has been granted another three-year full reaccreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons “Having this accreditation demonstrates adherence to the highest quality standards in patient-centric breast care delivery,” said Randy Stevens, M.D., director of radiation oncology at the hospital and chair of its Institutional Review Board.

NAPBC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of the quality of care and monitoring of outcomes of patients with diseases of the breast. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer in the U. S. in 2018, as well as 63,960 new cases of non invasive breast cancer. In addition, hundreds of thousands of women with benign breast disease this year will require medical evaluation for treatment options.

STEPINAC STUDENT RECEIVES ROONEY SCHOLARSHIP Kevin Rafferty, a Yonkers resident and graduate of Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains, was selected as the 2018 recipient of the Timothy J. Rooney Distinguished Graduate Award from the Lincoln Park Taxpayers Association (LPTA).

He was presented with the $1,000 scholarship by Clare Terhune, granddaughter of Empire City Casino President and CEO Timothy J. Rooney, at a meeting of the LPTA. Each year, the LPTA chooses a recipient from applications received by its scholarship committee. The scholarship fund was established by Rooney nearly 30 years ago. In 2011, he made a new contribution so the scholarship awards can continue.

LPTA President Liam McLaughlin said, “Kevin was chosen because of his academic excellence at Stepinac, his strong work ethic and his contributions to the Lincoln Park community. We are very proud to award the scholarship to Kevin and are thankful to Empire City and the Rooney family in particular for their sponsorship of this scholarship and for being such an integral part of our community.”

HOSPICE HOSTS ANNUAL GOLF INVITATIONAL Hospice of Westchester hosted its 16th Annual Golf Invitational at Westchester Hills Golf Club in White Plains on June 19. More than 100 business leaders and community members participated in the event to support the nonprofit health care agency. This year was the organization’s largest golf Invitational yet, with nearly 20 foursomes playing in the benefit. Proceeds will support the group’s commitment to providing compassionate end-of-life care.

Mary K. Spengler, CEO of the organization, said, “We are grateful for the continued support of the Westchester business community and the sponsors that helped make this great day possible.”

The all-day event featured brunch/lunch, 18 holes of golf, a barbecue on the ninth hole, a cocktail reception, a dinner and awards ceremony, a silent auction and raffles.

The co-chairmen of the event included Michael K. Ciaramella, Larry Dix, William F. Flooks Jr., Max Gaujean, Jack Geoghegan, Bill McLaughlin, Tim Murphy, James P. O’Toole, Stephen Paletta, Kenneth Theobalds, Michael Vitale and John Zanzarella.

The White Plains-based law firm Yankwitt LLP has added Cassandra Vogel to its roster as counsel. Her background includes a year as a law clerk for Federal Court Judge Nelson S. Román of the Southern District of New York.

The firm’s founding partner, Russell Yankwitt, said, “While clerking for federal judges is just one of many factors we consider when evaluating potential new hires, it is an important one that provides candidates with keen insight into the law and offers exceptional benefits to our clients.”

Vogel most recently was with the New York City law firm Kostelanetz & Fink LLP. She earned her law degree at Brooklyn Law School and her bachelor’s degree from Johns Hopkins University.

While in law school, Vogel completed internships with the Eastern District of New York U.S. Attorney’s Office, Civil Division, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The New York Times’ White House correspondent Maggie Haberman told an audience at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville that President Trump “doesn’t fundamentally get the relationship between the president and the press corps.” She said reporters have to work especially hard to maintain objectivity as a result of his using Twitter and on-camera appearances to denigrate the news media and drag reporters into the spotlight.

Haberman, who is a Sarah Lawrence alumna, appeared as part of the college’s Democracy and Education series. She engaged in a question and answer session with Cristle Collins Judd, the college’s president.

Judd asked Haberman what advice she has for students, alumni and the general public about safeguarding democracy.

Haberman stressed the importance of people educating themselves about the fundamentals of government and expressed alarm at the “lax reaction to the erosion of institutions” and the “misunderstanding of the limits of those institutions.”

Haberman said the daily controversies have distracted public attention from what the administration has been actually been doing. “Deregulation is a massive story about this administration,” she said.

“They’ve been doing it from day one.”

Haberman explained that, in her view, most people miss something basic when they try to understand Trump’s approach to various issues. She said, “He doesn’t care about the consequences; he doesn’t care about the ‘first order’ consequences; he doesn’t care about the ‘second order’ consequences and he rarely thinks beyond the ‘first order’ ones anyway, but if you said to him, ‘Don’t you see this would be a problem,’ literally his only view is, ‘Is this going to be a problem for me in some way?’”
