From daycare to hair, entrepreneur continues to find new business ventures BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfariinc.com

“T

here’s a lot of competition in this business, so you have to step out of your comfort zone. You have to do something different.” So says Tamika Douglas, and she’s certainly backed up those words. The Jamaica-born entrepreneur and mother of two, who emigrated to the Bronx with her parents at just 12 years old, has started three businesses since coming to the region. Douglas said she has learned a lot from her parents — chiefly how to become a savvy businesswoman. “They wanted more opportunities for me and for them,” she said. “They did well (in Jamaica), but they still wanted more.” Her mother Carmeta Albarus was a teacher in Jamaica, but upon coming to the U.S. went back to school and eventually earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. She now owns her own company, CVA Consulting Services Inc., and works as a forensic social worker. Her father Dennis Douglas, meanwhile, worked as an engineer in his home country, and now runs Dennis Douglas P.E., P.C., a building inspection and engineering office in Mount Vernon. “They both worked very, very hard for what they have and what they want, and that’s what they instilled in me,” she said. » ENTREPRENEUR

E-commerce could pressure already tight Westchester industrial real estate market

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

-commerce is pushing demand for warehouse space near major cities nationwide, but can an already tight Westchester County industrial market take advantage? That’s been the question asked at real estate panels throughout the county and Hudson Valley in the past year. E-commerce giants such as Amazon and Walmart, along with the latter’s affiliated

Jet.com, are racing to offer consistent same-day delivery. To get there, the companies need space to store and process products for delivery near city centers. Seth Pinsky, metro emerging markets and public affairs director of RXR Realty, was asked about growth in the warehousing and logistics facilities at a panel in Poughkeepsie in April. He said RXR had purchased warehouse space in Queens in March that it will consider for just that type of purpose.

But, he added, traditional warehousing and industrial areas within New York City like Queens and the Bronx are being rezoned for mostly residential uses. “As a result of that, companies are having a really hard time finding locations within the city for these distribution facilities,” Pinsky told the crowd at the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp. spring real estate discussion. “And they desperate-

Doulas duel over placenta pill secrets

Peekskill doula training company claims that a consultant stole its placenta pill trade secrets. ProDoula Certification LLC is suing Debbie Pocica of Elmhurst, Illinois, for $500,000 and asking a court to stop her from competing against it. Pocica and her attorney did not respond to telephone and email messages asking for her side of the story. Debbie Aglietti and Randy Patterson founded ProDoula in 2015 to provide training and certification in the loosely regulated doula profession. Doulas provide nonmedical emotional and physical support to women before, during and after childbirth. ProDoula offers doula training across the country and in Canada. Its placenta encapsulation workshops, for instance, demonstrate the practice of steaming, dehydrating, grinding and placing the placenta into pills to be ingested by the mother. Advocates believe that the nutrient-rich placenta — the organ that surrounds the fetus in the womb — confers health benefits to the mother. ProDoula hired Pocica in 2015 as an independent contractor to develop a curriculum and certification standards for placenta encapsulation workshops and to train doulas, the complaint states, for a share of the profits. She signed a second contract

last year to provide training and certification services. Both contracts allowed Pocica to pursue business opportunities, according to the complaint filed by attorney Richard C. Ebeling of Putnam Valley, as long as she didn’t compete directly or indirectly with ProDoula for up to three years after the contracts ended. Pocica terminated the contracts last November, the complaint states, and then set up a Facebook placenta business mentorship group. In February, she launched the Placenta Training Co., offering placenta encapsulation classes. ProDoula claims that its curriculum contains placenta encapsulation trade secrets that are not generally known to competitors. The lawsuit was originally filed on May 30 in Westchester Supreme Court. Pocica’s attorney, Joshua R. Bressler of Manhattan, moved the case to White Plains federal court on July 2, arguing that federal law governs intellectual property rights.

he nitty gritty of rim repairing — or the art of wheel remanufacturing, as Rapid Rim Repair LLC refers to its business — is depicted in a federal lawsuit as a cutthroat enterprise. Rapid has sued consultant Anthony Frodella for $1.2 million, claiming in essence that he tried to hijack customers. Frodella, the lawsuit claims, is the mastermind and orchestrator of a conspiracy with disloyal employees to put Rapid out of business. Attempts to get Frodella’s side of the story failed. His last known address is in Henderson, Nevada, and contact information could not immediately be found. A LinkedIn profile lists an Anthony Frodella as a former partner in a Plainview, Nassau County rim repair shop, and as a “sales guru” and “a company builder.” Rapid was formed in 2015 and is based in New Windsor, Orange County. It repairs, restores and remanufactures wheels for auto body and repair shops, car dealerships, wholesalers, mobile rim repair services and individual customers. Rapid says it paid Frodella $184,662 from January 2017 to this past May for consulting work. The services of the consultancy are not described in the lawsuit. He also allegedly incurred $34,223 in American

Express charges that were not part of his services. Frodella has been accused of conspiring with four disloyal employees to harm the business by making disparaging comments to customers; removing equipment, vehicles and customers’ wheels; soliciting customers on behalf of competitors; and collecting cash payments that customers owed to Rapid. He is further accused of using his knowledge of Rapid’s mobile telephone network and surveillance video system to send a competitor’s drivers to locations where Rapid drivers were picking up customers’ damaged wheels. The complaint does not identify the competitor. Customers were allegedly told that Rapid does not perform its own wheel repairs, is not insured, is selling equipment to a competitor and is going out of business. Rapid claims that the disloyal conduct and false statements have caused at least 36 auto shops to stop using its services and have cost it $1 million in business. The complaint charges Frodella with conversion of property and receivables, breach of the duty of loyalty, breach of contract, unfair competition and deceptive business practices, interference and defamation. Rapid is represented by attorney Philip H. Kalban in Manhattan.

Verrino Construction files for bankruptcy protection

rmonk-based Verrino Construction Services Corp. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing declining revenues and an inability to proceed with lawsuits to collect potential revenue. VCS declared assets of up to $50,000 and liabilities between $1 million and $10 million in a petition filed July 2 in White Plains bankruptcy court. “Without relief of this bankruptcy filing,” VCS President Richard

Verrino said in an affidavit, “debtor would be taken apart and overwhelmed by some creditors at the expense of all others.” Verrino founded VCS in 2000 and runs the business from his home in Armonk. He has worked as a contractor, subcontractor and construction manager on commercial and residential projects in Westchester and New York City. VCS’ 20 largest unsecured claims total nearly $1.5 million, including $389,758 to Funding Circle USA for

a business loan; $239,315 to Breeze National Inc. for demolition work; $193,876 to Independence Carting; and $189,331 to Chase bank for credit cards and a line of credit. Verrino disputes several secured and unsecured claims. But as revenue has declined, he said in the affidavit, VCS has been unable to pay for legal matters. It lost a potential payment of $296,000, for instance, when a state court dismissed the case for his failure to appear for depositions.

His largest asset is an $890,000 claim against a bond taken out by Tishman Construction Corp. for work on the Jewish Theological Seminary in Manhattan. Several subcontractors in turn have filed mechanic’s liens against VCS for work on that project. As contracting revenues have declined, Verrino attests, he has shifted his efforts to consulting services that bring in about $21,000 a month. He pays himself about $14,000 a month, after expenses.

Suite Talk Scott Hayworth, president and CEO of CareMount Medical

r. Scott Hayworth, president and CEO of CareMount Medical, has spent more than three decades in the health care industry. He joined CareMount in 1988 as an OB-GYN and has served as its CEO since 1996. Under Hayworth’s leadership, CareMount has expanded from 40 physicians to more than 500, and today operates 40 sites across the Hudson Valley. Here he talks with Business Journal reporter Aleesia Forni about his passion for medicine, his decades-long career and the future of the health care industry. Did you always know you wanted to work in medicine? "Yes, I knew at a very young age that I wanted to help and heal people. Medicine was a natural career choice for me. Delivering babies and caring for the health of others was extremely rewarding. Maintaining a full-time clinical practice in obstetrics and �ynecolo�y while serving as president and CEO of CareMount Medical for nearly 20 years was my life’s calling. I still serve as president and CEO, but I gave up clinical practice a few years ago. "Personally, I knew I wanted to specialize in OB-GYN because I could combine my surgical skills with primary care. I took care of generations of patients, many of whom stayed with me throughout their lives." You’ve worked in the medical �ield for more than three decades. When looking back on your career, what have been some of the standout moments or highlights? "Being an OB-GYN, you value each life you bring into

this world, and each delivery is a meaningful event. But if I had to pinpoint specific career highlights, two stand out. The first is when I delivered four sets of healthy triplets in one year. The second was while I was a resident, I performed the first laparoscopic ectopic pregnancy surgery to take place at Mount Sinai Hospital. "An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants and grows outside the uterus. This type of pregnancy can't proceed normally. The fertilized egg can't survive, and the growing tissue may cause life-threatening bleeding or be fatal if left untreated. As a resident just starting out in the field, this was an intricate, difficult surgery and a career highlight for me at the time." What about challenges? And how did you overcome those? "My executive competencies are self-taught. I’ve had no formal business training and learned to be CEO on the job. It is my passion for the industry combined with my medical background that drives my vision to provide high-quality, patient-focused care. I work each and every day with teams of exceptional people, including the brightest physicians and providers to deliver quality health care to whole populations of people in the most cost-efficient way. Our motto, 'Health care that revolves around you,' helps me and our great employees focus on what’s important as we overcome challenges." What are some of the biggest hurdles facing the health care �ield today? "Health care costs continue to increase, access to care is decreasing and recruiting quality physi-

cians and health care providers is becoming more difficult each day. With that said, the cure for these hurdles is achieving what has become known as the 'quadruple aim' — improving the patient care experience, improving the health of populations, improving the work-life integration for health care providers — including physicians and staff — and reducing per-patient health care costs. "Health care organizations have been forced to rethink their business models and work to eliminate waste while improving quality and efficiency. One of the ways CareMount Medical is re-engineering its business model is by shifting the focus from volume to value. Value-based care focuses on patient outcomes and improving quality of care based on specific measures, such as reducing hospital readmissions and improving

preventative care. "The opportunity exists to transform how health care is delivered to all populations, at all stages of life. To that end, we partner with many local hospitals and several other regional providers to seamlessly coordinate patient care. We also have strong affiliate partnerships with Massachusetts General Hospital, Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. CareMount Medical is always growing and we sustain that growth by partnering with like-minded facilities, providers, medical groups, and physicians. "For CareMount, the goal is straightforward but ambitious — replace the nation’s reliance on fragmented, feefor-service care with comprehensive, coordinated care. We are utilizing data to identify, drive and sustain quality performance,

refining our patient experience, providing access using online engagement and mobile platforms, and investing significant resources to manage the health of populations." Can you talk a bit about how CareMount has expanded and transformed over the years? "When I became CEO the group was strong clinically, but we were still developing as a business entity. Many of our information technolo�y systems were antiquated. Budgets and financial forecasting were nonexistent. There was no formal human resources department, and our facilities were outdated. In addition, customer service was not tracked or analyzed. Yet patients came to us primarily because they loved their physicians. "Recognizing this, I wanted to focus on the patient experience, because on a

personal level I believe the way our patients experience their visit with us should be second to none. That’s why patient experience is measured every week at CareMount Medical. "I also believe strongly in hiring and retaining the best and brightest physicians and employees. We have 184 top doctors ranked by (research firm) Castle Connolly, in addition to several more listed in U.S. News & World Report and other distinguished sources, including New York magazine. "In the last 20 years, I’ve overseen the expansion of our group from 40 physicians to more than 560 physicians and advanced practice professionals. Today we represent more than 40 specialties, with a total employee base of over 3,000. We are in five counties, including Westchester, Putnam, Ulster, Columbia and Dutchess, and we serve more than 555,000 patients through our broad network of over 40 locations and eight urgent care centers. "Furthermore, we’ve established strategic relationships with hospitals and providers. To keep ahead of technological advancements, we’ve implemented a number of critical information technolo�y platforms through CareMount 24/7, such as virtual visits (telemedicine), online scheduling, patient portal, and pre-check-in, eliminating distance barriers and improving access to medical services in even the most remote communities. We are continuing to grow despite already being the largest, independent multi-specialty medical group in New York State. Note: This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Elmsford contractor claims he was swindled in real estate racket BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfariinc.com

lliott Porco, owner of Construction Directions LLC in Elmsford, sued three men and their companies for $1.4 million for alleged violations of the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act in White Plains federal court on June 29. He and his company accuse the men of conspiring to gain his trust “by creating compelling background stories and fictional expertise in connection with real estate development offerings.” On the same day that Porco, an Eastchester resident, sued the men, he was accused in a separate lawsuit of failing to pay nearly $500,000 to a subcontractor.

Porco’s lawsuit names Thomas DiOrio of Katonah; Frank DeBoise and Craig Greene, whose addresses are unknown; and six limited liability corporations. DiOrio did not immediately respond to a voicemail message asking for his side of the story. Porco says that when he met the men in 2014, DiOrio said they were looking for a partner for projects in New York and Florida. They allegedly offered to hire Porco for a $1.8 million excavation and foundation job in Brooklyn, and Porco agreed to pay an insurance premium. But the project never happened and Porco lost $153,000. DiOrio also persuaded Porco in 2014 to invest in a $51.6 million apartment complex in Port St. Lucie, Fla., the complaint states, and promised him an equi-

ty stake in the companies that would own the apartments. The developers allegedly said they would need more funds as costs came in during construction. Porco wired three checks totaling $37,500. Nothing was built, the complaint states, and Porco was never given an ownership interest in anything. “Defendants simply took plaintiff’s money and disappeared,” the complaint states, “once plaintiffs stopped wiring funds.” A Tampa project, as depicted in the lawsuit, was the biggest score. DiOrio allegedly pitched a hotel and condominium project as a “done deal.” All that was needed was $500,000 to close on the land. He asked Porco for $150,000; in return Porco would get 10 percent own-

ership of the project and 10 percent of the construction management fee. Construction Directions would get a $25 million contract for window work. In November 2014, Porco wired $150,000 to a company set up for the project. DiOrio allegedly asked for more funds over the following months, and Porco complied: $20,000 for architectural drawings; $4,000 for legal expenses; $37,000 as a loan for permits and attorney fees; $12,500 for closing expenses; $3,000 to cover interest payments owed to another investor; $1,000 for project costs; and $15,000 as additional capital. Finally, last December, DeBoise allegedly asked for another $50,000. Porco declined. DiOrio, Greene and DeBoise had repeatedly rep-

resented the project as ongoing, the complaint states, and investment returns as forthcoming. Delays were blamed on Tampa’s permitting process, lenders’ need for documents and funding needed for separate contracts. But, Porco contends, no land had been purchased, nothing was built and no ownership interests were conveyed. Instead, he alleges, the developers rolled his money into real estate projects to which he was not privy. Porco’s attorney, Stephen A. Florek III in White Plains, charges the developers with running a racketeering enterprise under the RICO law, fraud and breach of contract. Porco and his company claim out-of-pocket losses of $435,000 and seek another $1 million in punitive damages. On the same day that Porco sued the develop-

ers, Men of Steel Rebar Fabricators LLC sued him in Westchester Supreme Court. The Bensalem, Pa. company claims that Porco’s Construction Directions hired it in 2016 to install steel rebar and reinforcing steel for a project at Lighthouse Point in S taten Island. Men of Steel claims that Porco has refused to pay $491,976 owed for the materials and services. The lawsuit, filed by attorneys Carol A. Sigmond and Gary J. Repke in Manhattan, accuses Porco and his company of breach of contract, and it is filed as a class action on behalf of all subcontractors and material suppliers for the project. Attempts to reach Porco for comment failed, as two phone numbers listed in his name were not working.

ly need them, as they are expanding like wildfire,” he continued. “I think areas that are relatively accessible to the city -- but outside the city -have a competitive advantage in that there is land available (that) is much less expensive.” But as industrial market experts in Westchester note, that land and warehouse space is not nearly as available within the county as it is further north in the Hudson Valley. It’s those areas that may prove more able to take advantage of the trends Pinsky described. For Westchester, “The market has been tight for a while, back before it was even cool to talk about industrial,” said Kevin Langtry, a managing director at Newmark Knight Frank in Rye Brook. NKF reported the county’s industrial and flex space vacancy rate at 4.8 percent at the end of the first quarter, down from 6.2 percent at the end of 2016. The county’s total market comprises about 13.6 million square feet by NKF’s count. “There’s two asset classes that my group always get calls on -- multifamily investment opportunities and industrial/ logistics space,” said Thomas LaPerch, director of Houlihan Lawrence Commercial Group. “Unfortunately, all 1

During her childhood years, Douglas said her parents were always supportive of her interests and endeavors. Still, “What I didn’t have a lot of was their time because they both worked a lot,” said the Mount Vernon resident. “After having my own child, I said, ‘I can’t do what they did. I have to be available to my child.’” That desire was highlighted by an experience Douglas had when her first son, Douglas Baldeo, was only a few months old. Douglas, who was at the time working long hours at her mother’s company, said she hired a nanny to take care of her son. “There was one day where I was home,” Douglas recalled, “but my son didn’t want me. He was crying for the nanny.” That experience led

the properties that were formerly industrial sites are now being repositioned into residential in lower Westchester, or they’ve been gobbled up already. There’s a very, very small inventory of any desirable properties left.” Naturally, prices have gone up. In his mid-year Westchester real estate review column for the Business Journal, Howard Greenberg reported that flex industrial space in the county — which typically rents for $8 to $10 per square foot -- is now routinely approaching asking prices of $15. “Never in my 30-plus years in the market have I seen this type of rent growth,” the Howard Properties Ltd. president wrote. Much of Westchester’s building stock for industrial and warehouse space dates back to the county’s 20th century manufacturing industries. The same trends that have reduced the warehouse markets in New York City’s outer boroughs have similarly reduced the Westchester market. Once industrial neighborhoods near Westchester’s waterfront have been rezoned for what municipal officials refer to as higher and better uses; namely, mixeduse apartment buildings for anything near transit centers. “In Westchester, you can Douglas to fire her nanny and enroll her son in daycare. But after becoming increasingly frustrated with the care her son received there, Douglas decided to take an even greater step. “I bought a house and shortly after, I said, ‘Why don’t I just open a daycare in my home?’” she recalled. In 2005, she launched Tamika’s Happy Faces, a business she ran out of her new home. More than just a daycare, Douglas also brought in a range of instructors to teach lessons to the children she cared for, including ballet dancers and karate experts. That business grew, Douglas said, and in 2008, she decided to start an after-school program at Cedar Place Elementary in Yonkers. Douglas said students and families flocked to the program because it offered more than tradition-

look at the Hudson River waterfront along Yonkers. Those were all warehouses before, now you see buildings and construction going up along the Hudson,” said Joseph Simone, president of Bronx-based Simone Development Cos. In April, Simone’s company spent $13.3 million to acquire a 118,500-square-foot property in Stamford featuring warehouse, research and office space. He said conditions in Stamford’s warehouse and industrial market are similarly tight as a result of former warehouse space being converted for mixeduse development. “The younger generation is looking to be as close to urban areas as possible, and I think the pent-up demand is driving municipalities to zone those areas for more density,” Simone said. “And as long as that demand exists, you’ll probably see them changing those zones, pushing the industrial further out.” That leaves potential tenants fighting for a limited amount of space that is often out of date. And market experts aren’t expecting a rush of new industrial space to meet demand anytime soon. “We really don’t have a ton of new construction that occurs because most towns have gone the path

of rezoning industrial land and buildings to residential and retail uses,” Langtry said. “Our supply has steadily shrunken over the years, and now with such demand for last-mile delivery services, it’s very challenging for them to find space.” As an example of the zoning and cost obstacles of building new warehouse and industrial space, LaPerch cited the reinvention of the I-287 corridor in Harrison. Developers have spent the past half-decade knocking down and repurposing under-utilized office buildings along Westchester Avenue, but warehouses haven’t gone up in their place. Instead, it’s been a hotel, �ym, medical offices, college classrooms, apartments and a Wegmans grocery store. “That’s the perfect location for an industrial, manufacturing or warehousing operation from a logistics standpoint,” LaPerch said. “But for highest and best use, they’re not doing that.” Industrial growth has instead focused further north. Across the river in Orange County, developers added 1.3 million square feet of industrial space last year to the county’s roughly 22.5 millionsquare-foot market, according to an annual report from Goshen-based Mansfield Commercial Real Estate. The

vacancy rate for prime industrial space shrunk to 1.8 percent in Orange County last year according to the report, spurring developers to build space on spec. Elisabeth Mansfield, president of the firm, wrote that the county reached a historical high of 2.3 million square feet of industrial space absorbed in 2017: “This activity was not only driven by the delivery and occupancy of the above construction, but by increased demand, much of it attributable to e-commerce.” In Putnam County, CBRE Group Inc. will handle leasing for the Northeast Interstate Logistics Center, a planned development of 1.1 million square feet of high-bay warehouse space in Putnam County. The center would be built on 252 acres along I-84 in the town of Southeast. “What we’re doing is saying, ‘Where can you build large, high-bay warehouse type space?’” said Budd Wiesenberg, a vice president in CBRE’s Stamford office. The plans still require municipal approvals. If built, Wiesenberg said the site could take advantage of toll-free access to I-84 to allow tenants to send products to New York City in a little over an hour, and/or to Boston and Philadelphia in about three hours. The site would host four

modern warehouse buildings, each between 175,000 and 375,000 square feet. “I don’t know of any place in Westchester you really can do that,” Wiesenberg said. But the lack of space doesn’t mean e-commerce distributors are likely to surpass Westchester entirely. The county could still be desirable for companies looking for smaller, more flexible “last-mile” distribution space. “We all feel like this is the tip of the iceberg,” said Art Ross, a senior managing director of NKF in Hartford. “What these companies are focused on, it’s almost like retail. They’re focused on demographics, the per-capita incomes, for locations.” In that case, difficulty in finding land or modern warehouse space could spawn some creativity. Ross described a presentation he saw at a recent real estate conference that discussed mixed-use last-mile logistics facilities in urban centers. “They’re taking older, obsolete product or using vacant lots to create industrial on the first floor for a traditional warehouse, and then residential above,” Ross said. “We haven’t seen that yet in this market, but my sense is that we probably will. Maybe not for a while, but these are the kind of ideas that are out there.”

of “The Bodyguard” and on the television show “So You Think You Can Dance.” Taking a cue from Baldeo’s interest in show business, Douglas later launched a talent development company called Four Star Talent. Similar to her after-school program, Douglas said she would invite actors, singers and dancers to teach lessons to a group of students, who

would then perform their routines in front of a panel of prospective talent agencies. The self-described “serial entrepreneur” isn’t done yet, though. In November she launched an e-commerce hair extension business called Four Star Tresses. “I’ve always worn extensions and I spend a lot of money on hair extensions,” she said. Still, the idea to begin her own business didn’t occur to her until recently, when after falling into a bout of depression she took the advice of a close friend and decided to head for a makeover. Along with having her hair and makeup done, that makeover included getting a new set of hair extensions. “I wasn’t taking care of myself,” she recalled, but after the makeover, “I loved how I looked and I said, ‘You know what? I have to take

care of me.’” Drawing on her own experience of how those extensions changed her mood and outlook, Douglas decided to launch Four Star Tresses in November. The company’s website offers clipins, tape-ins, ponytails and wigs, along with a range of false lashes that are all made from human hair. Prospective customers can see samples provided by Douglas in person, though sales are made online and products are supplied and shipped by an outside firm.

Pace Women’s Justice Center opens new walk-in clinic BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

he Pace Women’s Justice Center (PWIC) opened its new walk-in clinic at The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 25. The 4,000-square-foot facility is on Pace’s North Broadway campus in White Plains in what had been the Student Life Center. Cost of the project was $1.5 million, with funding coming from Pace and private donors, including a $100,000 grant from Impact 100. A ceremony before the ribbon cutting was addressed by state Sens. Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Shelly Mayer and David Buchwald, along with Westchester County Executive George Latimer and Chairman of the Westchester County Board of Legislators Ben Boykin.

Administrative Judge Kathie Davidson of New York’s Ninth Judicial District spoke, as did Jill Gross, associate dean for academic affairs at the Pace Law School. The event was hosted by Cindy Kanusher, executive director of PWJC. “Domestic violence, sexual assault and elder abuse are pervasive problems that affect communities all over the country, including ours,” Kanusher said. “We know that the opening of this clinic will save lives. We will give people the critical help that they need to feel safe, and we will be at their side every step of the way throughout the legal process.” PWJC each year provides free legal services to nearly 3,000 victims and survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and elder abuse. It also provides services males as well as females. PWJC conducts or participates in more than 140 outreach and training events each year.

Peekskill Coffee House celebrates 15 years of being the city's ‘living room’ BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfariinc.com

hen Sunny Cover opened the doors of Peekskill Coffee House in 2003, she didn’t have dreams of a wildly successful business. “I just wanted to not lose my house,” she recalled of the process, which included taking out loans and applying for grants in order to open the doors of the coffee shop at 101 S. Division St. “And then after that, I wanted a better paycheck,” she said with a laugh. “We made less than our employees for quite a while so that was quite interesting.” Today the coffee shop serves as a hub for the city of Peekskill, with its eclectic interior regularly hosting live music shows and other events. “It’s really just taken off,” Cover said. The shop is also celebrating a significant milestone this year: its 15th anniversary. To mark the occasion, Cover held an anniversary party in June, one that closed down a section of Esther Street and featured games, live music, cake and champagne. “It was so great hearing people tell their stories and remembering our first day or our first year,” Cover said. Cover opened the coffee shop shortly after moving to Peekskill in 2001. Prior to living in Westchester, Cover spent most of her life in California. “In San Francisco, there are coffee houses everywhere,” Cover said. “Part of the neighborhood, part of being in the community was having that place to go to in the morning. When I moved here, I was like, ‘How am I supposed to meet other parents?’ Do I go up to someone at a grocery store and be like, ‘I think we might get along? Maybe your kid, my kid, what do you say?’ It’s very awkward.” That desire to create a meeting space led Cover to partner with James Lorr and Laura Gillen to open Peekskill Coffee House. At that time in Peekskill, “Nothing was open here,” Cover recalled. “Pretty much everything was boarded up.” Prior to its use as a coffee house, the historic corner building had served a variety of purposes, from a painter’s studio to a tire store to a dry cleaner. “Everything really happened serendipitously,” Cover said. “We took up the carpet and pulled up the plywood. There were holes in the original floors, but they had been topped off with coffee cans. We felt like it was really meant to be.” In 2009, Cover bought out her two partners, and soon after added menu items, including soup and paninis. “Originally in the early 2000s, you could have a coffee house with coffee and nothing else,” she said. “But we started to realize people would sit here for the day and people were literally leaving all their stuff and going away to eat then coming back, or bringing their food back to the table. So we were like, ‘All right,

we’re going to have to do something here.’” In later years, the menu has expanded to include a variety of crepes, along with gluten-free and vegan options. The coffee shop itself grew in 2013, when a neighboring antique shop closed its doors. “I snatched that up and expanded,” Cover said. “We just keep trying to make relevant changes to keep the business going.” In the years since the coffee shop opened its doors, Peekskill has undergone something of a transformation, with a number of new businesses opening their doors in the city’s downtown, including her own husband’s business, Speakeasy Tattoo. “We’ve had some great restaurants come into town, too,” Cover said, referencing both Louie Lanza, who opened a string of restaurants, including the nearby Hudson Room and The Eagle Saloon, and John Sharp, the restaurateur behind Birdsall House and Gleason’s.

“It’s a lot different when you have landlords and building owners who don’t live in the town,” Cover said. “Because when you have someone like me or John or Louie who have these properties, we’re here. Our businesses are here, our houses are here, our lives are here versus (a landlord who says), ‘Oh, I don’t need to rent that out, because it’s a tax deduction. It’s no big deal. It’s just a building over there.’” For Cover and business owners like her in Peekskill, “Your whole livelihood is here,” she said. “You have a lot of pride for the way it looks and how it’s perceived.” Cover said the greatest pride she takes in her business is seeing the community come together at the coffee shop. “It was one thing in the very beginning,” she said. “People would come in and we didn’t even really know very many of them. But then we’d see people start to lean over and talk to each other.”

Over the years, Cover said she and her business have been a part of a number of milestones in the lives of their patrons. One couple used Peekskill coffee (sourced from Seattle) for their wedding favors, “because their first date was here and this is where they met and just totally fell in love,” she said. “We’ve seen babies born and then watched them turn into 15 year olds who want to work at the coffee house.” Cover said future plans for Peekskill Coffee House could include roasting their own coffee or operating a mobile coffee truck. “This coffee house definitely has a life of its own,” she said. “And it really does attract a lot of love.” Despite having spent 15 years working to build Peekskill Coffee House into a spot affectionately referred to by locals as “Peekskill’s living room,” Cover stressed, “This whole thing is not about me. It’s everybody’s coffee house.”

Is Sleepy Hollow on the verge of an awakening? BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfariinc.com

leepy Hollow Mayor Ken Wray thinks his village is ready for an awakening. “We really have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right now,” he said. The village of Sleepy Hollow recently applied for a $10 million grant from New York State’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI). The initiative, now in its third year, offers funds that can be used by municipalities to boost local economies, transform downtown areas and improve residents’ quality of life. For Wray, receiving this grant couldn’t come at a better time. “It’s really going to help revitalize our downtown and our downtown businesses,” he said. On the village’s waterfront, developers are in the midst of constructing a sprawling mixed-use project

known as Edge-on-Hudson. The development sits just off Beekman Avenue on the former General Motors assembly site. “That of course is enormous, because the village (population) will grow by close to one-third with that,” Wray said of Edge-onHudson. “That represents a huge private investment in the village, probably close to $1 billion when all is said and done.” The property sat vacant for years, but a joint venture composed of Diversified Realty and SunCal is working to transform the site into a development that will include 1,177 units of condominiums, townhouses and rental apartments; a 140-room boutique hotel; 135,000 square feet of retail space and 35,000 square feet of office space. “The expectation is that it will create a lot of new business opportunities along our Main Street and

downtown,” the mayor said of Edge-on-Hudson, “so we want to look at ways we can integrate that with our existing residential neighborhoods and how we can improve the business community and the village.” The development will also feature a string of waterfront restaurants, more than 16 acres of parkland and a promenade along the water. Developers recently opened up a riverfront walkway that offers public access to that stretch of the Hudson River coastline for the first time in decades. “The riverfront park is huge for us,” Wray said. “People are just thrilled to be able to walk along the water.” Sleepy Hollow is also moving forward with the development of another section of the former General Motors site: a village-owned piece of land known as the East Parcel. The 28-acre site had served

as a dump for decades, and the village is in the process of cleaning up the site to create a new community space. “I’m really excited about that. We’re going to be creating something the village

has never had before: a new center, a new village commons,” Wray said. The commons will include new recreation space and parkland, along with a community center, athletic fields and courts,

a performance area and a skate park. “I think we have an opportunity that’s really incredible,” Wray said, noting that Sleepy Hollow has already begun working on infrastructure improve-

ments on the vacant site. “Over the next year and a half, we’ll be doing those improvements. Then we can start building.” Furthermore, Sleepy Hollow plans to install a bridge over the Metro-

North tracks that will connect Edge-on-Hudson with the new commons. “We’re kind of spread out in a long rectangle,” the mayor said of the village. “We’ve never really had a common area before.

This is an opportunity to connect all the different parts of the village together in an area that everyone will use.” Sleepy Hollow also plans to move its Department of Public Works facility from

the waterfront location along River Street onto the new village commons. “It will be the last kind of industrial use in a sense on our riverfront,” Wray said. Public Works’ present location is directly across

from parkland, and the mayor said he envisions a new residential development with street-level retail or community space as possible uses for that site. The area has already been rezoned for mixed-use. “There’s going to be a very dramatic change to the village over the coming years, and that’s well underway,” Wray said. He also noted that Sleepy Hollow is “not a high-end income community as a whole. Everyone likes to say they’re diverse, but we really are. We love that diversity and want to maintain it.” To do so, Wray said the village is working to develop a new comprehensive plan, a document that has not been updated in decades. A series of public hearings and community outreach meetings were held last year, and the village will continue to work on the updated plan in the coming months. Other economic development initiatives Sleepy Hollow is pondering include

creating workforce housing in the former United Auto Workers building on Beekman Avenue, adding sidewalk and lighting improvements along that same road, and improving the intersection at North Broadway that sits adjacent to Philipsburg Manor. The DRI grant could also help the village create and enhance its linkages to the waterfront. The mayor said the village should know by the end of the summer if it will be one of 10 downtowns that are selected each year as part of the annual $100 million initiative. If selected, Sleepy Hollow would become the first Westchester municipality to be awarded a grant through the DRI. Past awardees in the Hudson Valley have included Kingston and Middletown. “It will really force us to use good planning and to really think about what our village needs and how we can best invest in the community,” Wray said. “We have our fingers crossed.”

ver the past 50 years, the Schack Institute of Real Estate — established in 1967 by prominent members of the City’s real estate community—has evolved to become a world-class center of real estate research and pedagogy. The unprecedented success of the Schack Institute is owed largely to its industry ties and commitment to rigorous academic standards. This relationship has garnered the Institute faculty members who are both leading academics and industry professionals. They are supported by an advisory board comprised of prominent members of the real estate and construction communities. Faculty members bring real-world experience and cutting-edge research and techniques to the classroom. Students benefit from their capacity to address industry issues head on, and to explore industry trends, preparing them to become thought leaders in their field. The Shack Institute’s deep professional relationships in both the real estate and construction industries, expose students to the men and women who are recreating the New York City skyline as well as vistas around the globe. Faculty members play an instrumental role in leading large-scale, public-private development initiatives; erecting new residential and commercial buildings; renovating bridges and subways; developing shopping centers and housing complexes; and constructing schools, hotels, airport terminals, and art centers. Schack’s BS in Real Estate prepares students to understand the foundational and advanced elements of real estate, capital markets, development, and the urban landscape. It builds upon a solid liberal arts core and business foundation.

Manhattanville College School of Business

he Manhattanville College’s School of Business is proudly celebrating 35 years of preparing today’s professionals for tomorrow’s business. Originally named the Office of Adult and Special Programs in 1983, the school’s name changed to School of Graduate and Professional Studies (also known as GPS) in 1993. Four years ago, the School of Graduate and

Professional Studies changed its name again to the Manhattanville School of Business (MSB) to best reflect its progressing direction. Although the school’s name has had several changes, its commitment has remained the same, evolving to keep ahead of business industry demands as well as the needs of adult learners. What is now known as the School of Business was ironically founded by Sister Ruth

Dowd RSCJ, a beloved nun who was 92 years old when she retired from the college in 2011. After graduating from Manhattanville in 1940, (when the all-women’s college was called the College of the Sacred Heart and located in Harlem), Sister Ruth spent the next 70 years dedicated to education. She returned to campus in 1949 to accept a teaching position in the philosophy department. Then in 1983, Sister Dowd, was appointed associate dean of special programs and was responsible for part-time students in degree programs and students enrolled in noncredit programs. Sister Ruth was committed to educating nontraditional learners (at a very novel time to do so). This commitment is still alive at the School of Business. At a June 12th anniversary celebration, beloved professor Don Richards paid tribute to Sister Ruth’s many accomplishments, her dedicated service to the college and her vision and pioneering spirit that laid the foundation that would become the School of Business. Dr. Richard’s long-serving relationship with Sister Ruth and the School of Business was also recognized at the June 12th event. Under Sister Ruth, Dr. Richard served as the associate dean and upon her retirement, acting dean. Dr. Richards is currently a part-time program director and a contributor to the school’s reaccreditation submission. It was also fitting, that Professor Denis Sullivan was recognized at the anniversary celebration. Professor Sullivan has taught for the School of Business’ flagship Master of Science in HR Management and Organizational Effectiveness (HROE) since its beginning and all (hundreds) of the M.S. HROE students and alumni have had Professor Sullivan as an instructor. In 2016, the M.S. in Human Resource Management and Organizational Effectiveness was named as one of the best programs in the country by College Choice based on its outstanding academic reputation, student retention, networking and internship opportunities among other criteria.

New York regulator encourages state banks to work with medical marijuana companies BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

ew York's financial regulator is encouraging state-chartered banks and credit unions to work with medical marijuana and industrial hemp businesses. The New York Department of Financial Services released a guidance to the state's financial institutions July 3 to clarify that the state will not impose any regulatory action against banks that work with companies in the medical marijuana industry. Maria T. Vullo, New York State superintendent of financial services, wrote that the department "stands ready to work with our chartered institutions to assist them in moving forward toward commencing operations in a safe and sound manner." As federal and state enforcement standards on the industry appear to conflict, the state DFS said it has received inquiries from financial institutions about establishing banking relationships with companies involved in either medical marijuana or industrial hemp. Marijuana is still considered a Schedule I drug by the federal government, meaning federal regulators view the substance as highly addictive with no accepted medical use. Even as more than half of U.S. states have adopted some form of medical marijuana program, the New York DFS said the federal drug classification has kept banking institutions away from the industry. Without banking relationships, medical marijuana is a cash-driven industry. Vullo wrote in the guidance that, in some cases, companies pay employees with

envelopes of cash, pay taxes in cash and hold money in personal accounts or through holding companies. The state DFS said the unclear regulations and reliance on cash in the industry leaves it vulnerable to crime and harder to track for tax and anti-money-laundering purposes. "None of this is necessary," Vullo wrote. "Positions taken by the federal government are only exacerbating these problems, rather than remedying them. New York must act." In 2013, then-U.S. Deputy Attorney General James M. Cole released a memo that instructed federal prosecutors to limit enforcement of criminal law on marijuana regulation in states where it was legalized. The memo instead encouraged focus-

ing resources on preventing the substance from reaching places it remained outlawed and away from criminal gangs and children. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, long an opponent of any form of marijuana legalization, rescinded that guidance in January in a memo to federal prosecutors. "While the rescission

of the Cole Memo may indicate the viewpoint of federal government officials, the department is not aware of any actual changes in the priorities of the four U.S. Attorneys serving in the State of New York," Vullo wrote. "Nor does it change the fact that many states, including New York, have legalized medical marijuana." New York's medical mar-

ijuana program, launched in 2015, expanded last year to provide licenses to 10 companies statewide. The program had 1,725 registered practitioners and 61,699 certified patients as of July 3, according to state data. Industrial hemp, meanwhile, is expanding in the state through a $10 million grant program for research and capital investments in the industry. One of the

WCBJ

projects funded by that grant is in the Mid-Hudson region. SUNY Sullivan is partnering with fellow Sullivan County nonprofit Center for Discovery to study hemp-growing methods at the center's Monticello farms. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said his administration's guidance will help the growth of both industries. "The ability to establish a banking relationship is a challenge that legal industries face unlike no other," Cuomo said. "As the federal government continues to sow discord surrounding the medical marijuana and industrial hemp businesses, New York has made significant progress in creating a supportive economic development and regulatory landscape for these companies."

Union trust funds win $743K judgment from WJL trucking company president BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfariinc.com

ore than six years after a trucking company stopped paying for employee benefits, a federal judge has awarded $743,243 to the employees’ union trust funds.

Nelson S. Roman, WJL must pay $600,373 and Buenaventura must pay $743,243, including delinquent payments, interest and damages, for breaching the 2013 deal. WJL is a trucking and hauling company formed by Buenaventura in 1997, with offices in Eastchester and operations in the Bronx. Under a collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters, the company was required to

WJL Equities Corp., Eastchester, and company president Danielle Buenaventura had agreed in 2013 to pay $400,292 to Teamsters Union Local 282 employee benefits plans, for unpaid contributions going back to 2011. A year later, the company stopped making payments. Union trustees sued in 2015 to enforce the agreement and collect the payments. Now, under rulings by federal judge

contribute to union funds for employee pensions, welfare, annuities, job training and vacation and sick leave. WJL began to miss payments in November 2011, and by mid-2013 owed $458,176. The union trustees settled for $400,292, to be paid over 34 months. Buenaventura personally guaranteed to pay the full $458,176 if WJL defaulted on its payments. WJL paid $155,519, according to the trustees’ complaint, then stopped paying in 2014. The trustees claimed that WJL had shifted assets to new companies to avoid its obligations. William Loughheed, New Rochelle, formed CNB Contracting Corp., Pleasantville, about a month before payments stopped. Buenaventura, also of New Rochelle, formed WJL Construction Corp. in December 2015. WJL Equities and the new companies share common management and ownership, the trustees’ complaint states. They conduct the same business, operate out of the same Bronx location, use the same employees and share trucks and equipment. The new companies did not contribute to the trust funds.

Under a collective bargaining agreement with the Teamsters, the company was required to contribute to union funds for employee pensions, welfare, annuities, job training and vacation and sick leave.

“WJL Equities, WJL Construction and CNB have operated in such a manner,” the trustees’ attorney, Jonathan M. Bardavid, White Plains, argued, “that they constitute a single employer.” Judge Roman’s June 12 opinion does not address the relationship between the three companies. He granted summary judgment on July 3, for the trust funds and against WJL Equities and Buenaventura. WJL Equities agreed to make payments, he ruled, and the terms of the 2013 settlement were “clear and unambiguous …. As guarantor, Buenaventura personally obligated herself to repay all monies originally due and owing, should WJL default in its payment obligations.” Payments made by WJL or Buenaventura shall also be credited to each other, so the union stands to collect $743,243.

NY joins coalition investigating ‘no-poach’ agreements in fast-food industry BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

ew York Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood has joined a coalition of 10 state attorneys general — and the District of Columbia — that will investigate hiring practices at national fastfood chains. The coalition — led by Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey — sent a letter July 9 to eight separate franchises requesting information on “no-poach” agreements. The agreements prohibit franchisees from hiring employees from another store within the same chain. While a move from a Burger King to a Wendy’s wouldn’t be blocked under such an agreement, a jump from a part-time role at one Burger King location to a full-time job at another potentially could be stopped. That type of agreement, the coalition argues, prevents low-wage workers from being able to advance to better opportunities. “Workers deserve to have the opportunity to earn higher wages and seek promotions — yet no-poach provisions make that impossible,” Underwood said. “My office will continue to protect the rights of workers in New York and across the country.” While noncompete clauses are often agreements between an employee and an employer, no-poach clauses are often written into contracts between chains and franchisees. That means employees don’t have to agree to, or even be aware of, the no-poach rule -- but can still have their opportunities limited by them. The letter targets Arby’s, Burger King, Dunkin’ Donuts, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Little Caesars, Panera Bread, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen and Wendy’s. About 80 percent of fast-food franchisees have no-poach provisions in their franchising agreements, according to the letter from Healey’s office. The agreements reach industries beyond fast food. Healey cited a 2017 research paper from Princeton University economists Alan B. Krueger and Orley Ashenfelter, which found no-poach agreements in 58 percent of major franchise contracts, including at H&R Block and Jiffy Lube. The Princeton economists noted in the paper that the prevalence of no-poaching agreements is evidence of employers trying to restrict competition in the labor market. Krueger and Ashenfelter’s paper concluded that, “to the extent this practice has grown or become more effective, it might help explain a recent puzzle in the U.S. job market: unemployment has reached a 16-year low and job openings are at an all-time high, yet wage growth has remained surprisingly sluggish.” That conclusion caught the eye of federal lawmakers. U.S. Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and

Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., introduced a bill in February called the “End Employer Collusion Act,” which would ban no-poach agreements. A similar bill was introduced a month later by House Democrats. Fast-food employers have argued that the provisions help protect training investments in an industry with high turnover. The International Franchise Association (IFA), a franchising trade group, said in a statement July 9 that it hopes lawmakers will “engage with us in a constructive way to find a solution that protects workers’ rights and promotes economic growth.” In a letter to federal lawmakers in June, IFA President and CEO Robert Cresanti wrote the investment that franchise systems make in

training employees represents an important business asset. “In certain cases, if these methods were to be shared widely outside of the franchise brand — or if franchisees were to lose the operational proficiencies of various employees

whom they trained at great cost — the competitiveness of the franchise could be seriously undermined,” he wrote. The attorneys general coalition asks each company in the letter whether their franchise agreements have included any language restricting employment between franchises since January 2015. The AGs also want information on the types of employees included in no-poach restrictions, whether those employees were informed of the agreements and the geographic scope of the agreements. The letter was also signed by the attorneys general of California, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.

SPECIAL REPORT | Guest Column | By Chuck Coldwell

Enhancing a bank’s competitive position with an executive benefit plan

ith unemployment rates trending lower, wage growth increasing, and employers with positions to fill, workers now have leverage, confidence and options. For banks competing for job candidates, a comprehensive benefits package may tip the scales for a candidate who is considering multiple offers. A tighter job market requires that an organization present itself as an employer of choice, a situation that is leading many banks to offer benefit programs that include executive benefit plans as a way of garnering a strategic advantage. Under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), qualified plans must be offered to all employees at a company. An executive benefit or nonqualified plan, however, is a type of tax-deferred, employer-sponsored retirement plan that falls outside

of most ERISA guidelines. Since nonqualified plans are not subject to the same regulatory requirements that apply to qualified plans, employers can provide benefits through nonqualified plans to recruit and retain key employees — those who cannot be fully compensated through a combination of salary and qualified plans due both to the cost and compliance burdens that arise when similar benefits are provided to all employees, and IRS benefit limitations. Unlike qualified plans, nonqualified plans may be offered to a select group of management and/or highly compensated employees. Certain job titles generally meet this description — president, CEO, senior or executive vice president, etc. — while other employees may be eligible based on their level of compensation and responsibilities.

These plans are often used to address the retirement income shortfalls resulting from qualified benefit plan limitations, while incorporating rewards based on targeted performance or other benchmarks. Executive benefit plans provide flexibility in developing benefit compensation strategies, as they can be used to: • Provide replacement income at retirement based on total (non-limited) compensation; • Reward, attract and retain key executives; • Replace benefits lost due to IRS limits on qualified plans; • Provide benefits in addition to those under qualified plans; • Defer compensation; and • Provide enhanced benefits in the event of an acquisition or other change of control. The first consideration is to determine the

objectives you want to achieve with a nonqualified program by analyzing which employees are being impacted by IRS limits, and which key employees you might wish to reward with coverage under a nonqualified arrangement. The organization should analyze how it wishes to position its compensation and benefits programs relative to its competitors and how to best apportion its retirement benefit dollars among various benefit vehicles — pension, savings and nonqualified plans. Once these parameters have been established, the next step is to determine which type of nonqualified plan best suits the organization’s needs. These can include:

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS

These are typically established in order to provide a vehicle for key employees, highly compensated employees and directors to defer compensation until retirement. Arrangements can include deferred salary and bonuses as well as director fees, allowing greater tax deferred dollars than can be made on an individual basis.

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS (SERP)

These are typically designed to reward officers and/or key employees. SERPs may be entirely discretionary and designed to provide rewards arbitrarily or based on specific performance factors. SERPs can be constructed in a variety of ways, including as “defined contribution” or “defined benefit” plans. SERPs may be used to provide benefits based on a more generous formula than used in a qualified plan; may credit more years of service than under a defined benefit pension plan; or may even restore retirement plan benefits lost due to the various limits placed on IRSqualified plans.

EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE RETIREMENT PLANS (EIRPS)

Another type of SERP, EIRPs are designed to provide a reward to a select group of participants if the organization exceeds key performance metrics, such as Return on Equity, Return on Assets, Net Income, Quality of Loan Portfolio, Growth in Fee Income or CrossSelling Achievements. Your total rewards package is a key competitive resource for employee recruitment and retention and retirement benefits are an important component of that package. For banks competing for top talent, non-qualified retirement plans can be a game changer.

Good Things Happening

The BCW’s President and CEO Marsha Gordon, center, welcomed attendees at the organization’s recent quarterly breakfast. Children from the Boys and Girls Club of Mount Vernon were given new bikes and helmets.

BIKES FOR MOUNT VERNON YOUNGSTERS Wartburg, the Mount Vernon-based provider of residential and health care services for seniors, turned its attention to a younger age group when it worked with the Barnum Financial Group and Foundation for Life to benefit almost 30 children from the Boys and Girls Club of Mount Vernon with new bicycles and helmets. The children and their families had been invited to participate in a free sports clinic on the grounds of Wartburg and the gifts came as a complete surprise. Since its inception, the Bikes for Kids program has given away more than 3,000 bikes and helmets to underprivileged children. Wartburg President and CEO David J.

Gentner said having the children visit for the sports clinic was “a great use of the resources, and it is our hope that Wartburg’s residents enjoyed the inter-generational excitement.” Danny Bernstein, president at Backyard Sports, said: “It never fails to amaze me about the transformative power of a nice day, a few balls, green grass and caring people.” Caitlin Beaudry of Barnum added: “My colleagues and I at Barnum are proud to give youngsters the same thrill we had when we got our first bike. I even had one girl ask me to help her practice riding as she has never owned a bike before.”

48 CHILDREN TO TRANSITION TO HOME SCHOOL The John A. Coleman School in White Plains held graduation ceremonies for the 48 students in its special education program. In September, 61 percent of the grads will attend special education classes in their home school districts; 28 percent will attend inclusion or regular kindergarten classes in their home school districts; and 11 percent will attend BOCES classes. Two of the graduates were in Coleman’s Children’s Place preschool and will be attending kindergarten in their communities. State Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Assemblyman David Buchwald and White Plains Common Council member Milagros Lecuona were among those attending. The commencement speaker was Coleman School Board Member Peter T. McKeever. He told the parents: “As a result of your active partnership with our teachers and staff, 48 extraordinary children will be transitioning to your home school districts and BOCES. Yet another big step in their lives, but one which I’m confident that they have been well prepared for.” “Our graduation ceremony celebrates the triumphs achieved by these incredible children and reflects the loving support of their amazing families,” said Maureen Tomkiel, the school’s executive director.

NEW HEIGHTS FOR BIRCH HILL The Bedford Hills-based Westchester Land Trust (WLT) has announced the preservation of a 273-acre property in Patterson known as Birch Hill. The move expands an existing 2,000-acre conservation corridor. The conservation easement for Birch Hill is WLT’s third largest in its 30-year history. A conservation easement is a voluntary legal agreement between a landowner and a land trust that permanently restricts the development of a property in order to protect the land’s important conservation values. The Birch Hill property is owned by Benny Caiola of Larchmont and will remain in private hands; it will not be open to the public. “The Birch Hill conservation easement demonstrates WLT’s strategy to protect land that connects existing open space corridors and safeguards public drinking water supplies,” said Nanette Bourne of WLT. Caiola said WLT was “very sensitive to our goals as landowners and taught us how our property’s significant environmental features linked to the larger protected landscape around us.” Parts of Birch Hill are actively managed as part of a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service program to restore the habitat for the New England cottontail rabbit, which has experienced an 85 percent habitat loss in the past 100 years.
