Ossining developer takes opponents to court … twice

BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

T

hwarted for more than a decade at redeveloping an abandoned historic factory site on the Ossining riverfront, a Pleasantville developer has mounted two legal offensives against his project opponents, claiming one defamed him in comments posted on Facebook and asking a state judge to overturn a stop-work order by Ossining village officials that has halted demolition of the former Brandreth Pill Factory.

Developer Peter Stolatis, a principal of Plateau Associates LLC, in a complaint filed last month in state Supreme Court claimed Miguel Hernandez, a longtime opponent of Plateau’s

proposed redevelopment of the 5-acre property at 36 N. Water St., defamed and libeled him in online comments on two community pages on Facebook last April.

Marc Oxman, the White Plains attorney defending Hernandez, said the defamation lawsuit seemed an attempt by Stolatis to make his client’s opposition to the project costly in legal fees and perhaps get Hernandez to back off his public opposition Hernandez, a former Ossining mayor and trustee and current member of the village Historic Preservation Commission, posted the comments after village building inspectors halted the developer’s demolition of the deteriorated 19th-century factory building that is listed on the National

Families are expected to cut back-to-school spending by an average of almost $40 per household, according to a July study by the National Retail Federation, a Washington, D.C.based retail trade association.

Jim Raneri, co-owner of the 90-year-old Charles Department Store in Katonah, has a different take on the slow start of the back-to-

school season. Raneri thinks a better economy this summer coupled with low fuel prices have residents extending their summer vacations.

Westchester woman goes Hollywood with her Posh Pretzels

n a sliver of retail space along Broadway in Tarrytown’s downtown shopping corridor is a small boutique business that is rapidly making a big name for itself — Posh Pretzels.

“It is a little store, but it is awfully busy,” said AnnMarie D’Erasmo, owner and driving force behind the Tarrytown confectionary at 7 Broadway.

Since opening last December, the store has garnered national attention. Building on a steady flow of walk-in customers and large custom orders, D’Erasmo has propelled Posh Pretzels to outsized recognition, earning her television appearances and large corporate customers like NBC, The Ritz Carlton and Hampton Hotels.

Traveling from Tarrytown to Hollywood, her pretzels landed in the Oscar swag bags — their taxable contents were valued at about $168,000 — handed out to winning and losing nominees at this year’s Academy Awards. Like the gold-plated Oscar statuette, her gift-bag pretzels were coated with actual gold flakes — and yes, gold is edible, D’Erasmo said.

The single mother of two school-age children is a one-woman show running her business from front to back.

“Since I’ve opened I’ve done almost 55,000 pretzels by hand, and that’s just what I was able to calculate for certain,” she said. “No one makes them but me.”

Not only the brawn behind the venture, D’Erasmo has had to get creative as a firsttime small-business owner. She has relied on personality to market her products in lieu of an advertising budget, which is how her pretzels found their way into jewelry displays at Bergdorf Goodman and Oscarnight swag bags.

“I just picked up the phone and called them,” she said. “I thought, if I am the head of that company I am working either really early in the morning or really late in the day, so I would call at six or seven in the morning and got them right away.”

That determination and perseverance has paid off for D’Erasmo. After less than a year in business, she is looking to build a dedicated staff, instead of relying on seasonal help from college students and is nursing dreams of expanding her business.

“I must have at least five to 10 people every week asking me why I’m not in the city,” she said. She envisions opening stores in high-end locations in Manhattan and the Hamptons and selling her poshly decorated

pretzels on first-class flights and in chic nightclubs.

Her labor of love can still be a challenge, D’Erasmo said.

“There have been moments where I thought, what am I doing? This is crazy, it’s never going to last,” she said. “Then I go back to the gut feeling of this is going to be fine, I have to stick with what I know and I know people enjoy this — I just have to get it out more.”

The story of Posh Pretzels begins at D’Erasmo’s kitchen counter in her Tarrytown home, where an affinity for chocolate-covered strawberries, bananas and pretzels led to confectionery concoctions popular among her friends and colleagues. For 10 years she dabbled in commercial ventures from home with her pretzels, selling large quantities to Stew Leonard’s grocery stores, friends and family and at times eyeing various retail locations before finally taking the plunge.

“I never owned a business, I knew nothing about business. All I knew is that I loved making pretzels and people liked eating them,” she said. “People would always say to me you should have a business and finally I bit the bullet and did it.”

D’Erasmo said she spent about $20,000 to get the business up and running, including rent and extensive renovations to her retail space. She later invested an additional $10,000 in inventory, furnishings and the development of her website, poshpretzels. com.

She made her first retail sale before her store was open for business or even had a cash register. That sale to a curious passerby inspired a compliment on Facebook from her first customer. D’Erasmo credits that glowing Facebook review for the “outthe-door” lines of customers she had over the Christmas holiday during her opening month.

“That was it, I was sleeping here Christmas week,” she said. “I sold out of everything that I made, I couldn’t make

them fast enough.”

Corporate orders are already coming in for the upcoming holiday season, she added.

Self-marketing has been a major key to her success. From networking through social media to hand-delivering samples to Manhattan offices, she has forged a name for herself by relentlessly pursuing exposure for her products.

She has also benefited from the support of fellow entrepreneurs and professional support programs like SCORE of Westchester, a nonprofit group of retired executives that advises small businesses — but she has largely had to go it alone, she said.

“Anything that I’ve done up until now has been me — while I am stocking a shelf I’m making calls on the phone at the same time. While I am unloading and making whatever pretzel of the day, I am Googling and answering emails.”

Posh offers dozens of classic and eclectic flavors of pretzels, from creamsicle to dark chocolate-covered ones, as well as specialty items like chocolate-dipped bacon strips and toffee-covered marshmallows.

But the true draw for the boutique is her willingness to connect with customers and customize their orders, whether it is one pretzel or several pounds, D’Erasmo said.

Customers can buy a single pretzel for $1.50 to $3, depending on toppings. Custom and pre-arranged selections are sold in packaged gift boxes or platters ranging from $5 to $160.

She acknowledges that she is selling a niche product and that stores like hers come and go frequently. Customers when they enter have commented that they can hardly believe a store like hers can stay in business. But that has not dampened her optimism.

“It is definitely a lot of work, but I like doing this — so it doesn’t feel like work,” she said. “The struggle for me is that there are not enough hours in the day.”

Medical marijuana producer has big plans for New York facility

BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

D

r. Kyle Kingsley, CEO of Empire State Health Solutions, a competitor for one of New York’s five recently awarded licenses to produce and distribute medical marijuana, recently toured the county as part of a visit with business leaders, media outlets and Mayor Thomas Roach as his company prepares to open one of only two dispensaries in the county and likely the only one in White Plains.

Kingsley, a staunch advocate for cannabis as medicine, is confident his company will present a medical model that will emblematic of a new chapter in the long story of medical marijuana in the U.S. “I think the New York law is going to redefine how true medical marijuana cannabis is done internationally. I think this will become kind of a flagship program internationally in how it can be done in a very non-recreational way,” Dr. Kingsley said. “Cannabis enthusiasts — their time to shine is in the past, and this has now become the realm of scientist, physicians and operational professionals.”

As with all five of the license recipients, Empire is required to have non-smokable cannabis derived medications available for

dependent on how quickly patients and physicians adopt the medical marijuana model, Kingsley said.

Should phase three come to fruition, the total cost of Empire’s investment in the New York Medical Marijuana program could come close to $30 million, Kingsley said.

Much of Kingsley’s confidence in the direction and future of his company stems from his successful experience in Minnesota, where the company placed second in the state’s application process.

In Minnesota only two licenses were awarded to a field of a dozen finalists.

Aside from the proven track record, Kingsley is excited about the new program as an emergency medicine physician, businessman and horticulture enthusiast.

He sees Empire and the state program as new evolution in medical marijuana away from what he called the loose regulations of the “wild west” of the medical marijuana industry in California and Colorado.

“This sounds terrible but, essentially, it’s a bunch of stoners who are doing what they love, making a ton of money, helping a ton of people — so there is not really an impetus to change there,” he said.

But the change from medical recreation to actual medicine has to come from scien-

patients by Jan. 5, 2016, a deadline Kingsley is confident his company will meet with its production facility in the Tryon Technology park in Fulton County’s Johnstown, which was under development months in advance of Empire receiving the state license.

“The only way to do it comfortably is to start before the award,” Kingsley said. “It is the most cost effective and also the only way to meet the timeline — starting a facility right now wouldn’t work.”

The company will be an anchor tenant at a facility that could one day employee hundreds of local and regional residents as the company has phased plans which, by the arrival of the winter deadline, should include 40,000 square feet of production space, including the company’s greenhouse.

The plan also includes an ambitious third phase Kingsley called, “the crown jewel” of the company’s New York medical marijuana operation, a 200,000-square-foot research facility Kingsley said will be a center for scientific progress and research on cannabis as medicine surpassing any other currently operating.

The third phased expansion will be under consideration during the months and years following the company’s start of business in the state and its completion will be

tific and medical communities that will partner to advance the scientific understanding behind the drug, he said.

Kingsley’s company plans to work with Nathan Littauer Hospital in Fulton County to further the scientific-medical partnership and advance medical marijuana research.

He also hopes all five of the state’s medical marijuana providers can partner to advance the understanding of the drug within health care systems.

“There will have to be some modifications for the regulations to facilitate this research,” he said. “There aren’t a lot of folks with a lot of interest in working with cannabis as medicine.”

While there has been some criticism of the state’s program and reports of financial and medical impediments to patient access, Kingsley said New York’s program is the best he has seen to date, but that is not to say there is not room for improvement.

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is one area not currently included under the state’s list of medical conditions and symptoms for which patients are eligible for medical marijuana, and is of particular interest to Kingsley for further study as a veteran of the U.S. National Guard.

Westchester officials tout four potential sites for a GE cross-border move

BY COLLEEN WILSON and DANIELLE BRODY

A

fter learning this summer that Fairfield-based General Electric Co. has considered finding a new headquarters to avoid corporate tax hikes in Connecticut, Westchester County officials have wasted no time in identifying potential sites in the county to attract the technology giant to New York.

Some real estate experts speculate the rumors GE is weighing relocation to other states and locales as far south as Atlanta — and especially the prospect of a move to a neighboring county- has put the company in a stronger leverage position for renewed tax incentives in Connecticut.

Mark Barnhard, director of Fairfield’s Office of Community and Economic Development, said that GE owns its 68-acres headquarters property off the Easton Turnpike in Fairfield. The property includes two office buildings totaling 463,000 square feet of space and a 28-room, approximately 52,000-square-foot guest facility.

Phil Oliva, a senior adviser to Westchester

County Executive Robert P. Astorino, identified four potential sites to the Business Journal the county has pitched in collaboration with real estate leaders for a GE headquarters relocation. They are: • One Pepsi Way in Somers, the former headquarters of the PepsiCo Beverages Americas division, a 540,000-square-foot building on 200 acres. Its new owner, a company owned by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helú and his family, paid approximately $87 million for the vacated property in March.

• The former MBIA Inc. headquarters at 113 King St. in Armonk, a 300,000-squarefoot building on 38 acres. A joint venture of Pound Ridge-based affiliates of the Manocherian family, a prominent family in Manhattan residential and commercial real estate, and Steven Wise Associates LLC in Stamford paid $23 million for the property in a May deal.

• Gateway Center at 1 N. Lexington Ave. in downtown White Plains, an 18-story, 532,000-square-foot office building.

• The former Alexander Smith and Sons

Carpet Mills factory complex on Nepperhan Avenue in Yonkers.

“We’ve been actively involved in pitching different locations that meet their needs,” Oliva said. Westchester has a “natural competitive advantage” in workforce talent and accessibility to New York City, he said.

Coupling those advantages with tax incentives, Oliva said, “We think Westchester would be a great place for their new corporate headquarters.”

Oliva said the county is not at a stage to offer GE a tax incentive package, but that the county Industrial Development Agency “stands at the ready” if talks were to move in that direction.

Glenn Walsh, a commercial real estate broker at Newmark Grubb Knight Frank in Rye Brook, said the purpose of GE’s negotiations and exploratory actions is to get a better deal from the state of Connecticut.

“They are playing the incentive game and the odds of them moving to Westchester are slim to none,” he said. “I think those lawmakers are going to roll up their sleeves and figure it out,” Walsh said of Connecticut officials.

Michael C. Tetreau, the first selectman of Fairfield, said he does not think GE wants to move, but the state’s business climate forced the company to reconsider the location of its headquarters.

“To a great degree, we shouldn’t be in this situation,” he said. “This has been 20 years in the making. This last budget is the one straw that broke the camel’s back.”

On June 1, GE released a statement reporting Connecticut’s possible tax increases were “discouraging.” That was followed four days later by an email from GE CEO Jeffrey R. Immelt to employees saying the company’s taxes have been raised five times since 2011 and that GE would be looking at options for a more “pro-business environment.”

Politico New York first reported in midAugust New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo visited GE’s headquarters in Connecticut July 30 to meet with executives about the possibility of moving to Westchester County.

The office of Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy declined to comment on GE negotiations. Cuomo’s office did not respond to requests for comment.

Citrin Cooperman Corner Entity Selection: A Critical Component to Achieving Your Business Goals

BY ROBERTA BERNHARDT, CPA CITRIN COOPERMAN

ROBERTA BERNHARDT

The former MBIA headquarters at 113 King St. in Armonk.

Dominic McMullan, a spokesman for GE, did not elaborate on the company’s negotiations, but reissued a statement the company has an exploratory team assessing its options to relocate headquarters.

Tetreau said Connecticut legislators and residents worry about the economic impact of GE moving and its potential ripple effect on other businesses. The company pays about $1.8 million in Fairfield property taxes per year, he said. GE’s approximately 800 employees pay property taxes, income taxes and have involvement in the community.

The move would hurt the local suppliers GE uses and could lead to other businesses reconsidering whether or not to expand in, or relocate to, Connecticut, he said. Tetreau said he has been on the phone with GE executives for the last three months and is seriously evaluating the company’s options.

“It’s very clear they’re going through a formal evaluation,” Tetreau said. “GE knows their objectives. GE has their criteria. They know people they’re going to talk to. They’ll let us know when they make a decision.”

There are several entity choices: sole proprietorship, limited liability company (LLC), partnership, corporation, or S corporation.

There are choices and differences in liability protection and tax consequences that need to be balanced to provide the proper amount of protection, to maximize the tax benefits, and to maximize the flexibility available. Entity selection is critical to achieving these goals.

In the past, the corporation was utilized principally to shield shareholders from creditor liabilities. Unfortunately, tax law makes corporations inflexible for small to mid-size businesses, including the fact that net operating losses are carried forward at the corporation level and cannot be used to offset a shareholder’s personal income. In this structure, corporate profits are taxed at the entity level and are then subject to a second layer of tax when distributed to the shareholders in the form of a dividend. To alleviate some of the potential pitfalls, a tax election (subchapter S) can be made by a corporation to provide that the corporation’s income be taxed to the shareholders rather than the corporation, which generally alleviates the double taxation. One of the few continuing benefits of an S corporation is that distributions are not subject to FICA or Medicare tax. In an S corporation shareholders can receive money in two ways: a salary subject to FICA and Medicare, or distributions that are not subject to these employment taxes. Regulations state that of the total amount that shareholders take out of their business, a “reasonable amount” must be treated as salary, and profits in excess of that reasonable salary can be treated as distributions not subject to FICA or Medicare.

This rule has been under constant scrutiny and may eventually be changed. Until then, with Medicare rates rising to 3.8% in 2013, this could still be a significant benefit to a taxpayer. In addition, S corporation stock is more easily transferred than ownership in an LLC where approval from other members is often required.

General partnerships offer no liability protection, but can offer great flexibility in determining how income is divided among the partners. In addition, they don’t have many of the negative tax ramifications of corporations. Unfortunately, all of the net earnings of a partnership are subject to FICA and Medicare tax.

Today, the entity usually chosen is the LLC. It combines the operating flexibility of a partnership with the liability protection of a corporation. A substantial advantage for most owners is that there is generally

no tax paid at the entity level; the entity’s income is subject to tax only at the individual level, and losses may be used to offset an owner’s personal income. An LLC has the flexibility to enable owners to allocate income amongst themselves in any logical economic manner, and, in certain circumstances, the transfer of ownership interests may avoid being taxed. There are various additional forms of limited liability entities, such as a limited liability partnership (LLP), professional limited liability company (PLLC) and professional limited liability partnership (PLLP). All of these entities have some differences in the extent of the liability protection for members or partners depending upon the particular laws of the state in which they are formed. Generally, licensed professionals remain personally liable for claims arising in connection with their profession. There are fewer restrictions on profit sharing within an LLC than in an S corporation.

LLCs can have an unlimited number of members, and members can include nonU.S. citizens/residents. They can also be owned by C corporations, S corporations, partnerships, other LLCs, or many trusts.

An entity can be formed in one state and operate in another state, but it must register in all the states in which it operates as an entity doing business in the state. The state in which the entity is formed can have an impact on the liability protection and may impact the rights of minority shareholders and members.

A business advisor can help you make the decision of what type of business entity, as well as provide guidance on other components of effectively starting a business such as cash flow, generating revenue, shareholder/ operating agreements, and so on.

Ossining — From page 1

Register of Historic Places. Officials at the time claimed the developer lacked a valid demolition permit.

Yet the village in 2008 deemed the mansard-roofed mill an unsafe structure and granted Plateau Associates a demolition permit. That came about five years before the village’s newly formed historic preservation commission recommended the property be designated a local landmark and preserved for restoration and reuse.

Consultants for Plateau Associates, which acquired the property in foreclosure in 2001, told commission members the historic preservation work and new flood barriers on the building required after Hurricane Sandy would cost $3.2 million and exceed the property’s value.

In a separate but related lawsuit also filed last month in state Supreme Court, Stolatis’ attorney in White Plains, John Murtagh, cited a length history of delays, planning extensions and unreasonable and costly demands and requirements placed on the developer by village officials as Stolatis and his brother and business partner, Nicholas Stolatis, sought approvals for Hidden Cove on the Hudson, a six-story, 137-unit luxury apartment building that would replace the partial-

the season purchases of off-campus living items for college students.

“People are getting back to basics,” he said. “They are not spending a lot of money on frilly items.”

While Raneri’s season is just getting started, 30 miles south the boutique-lined streets of Bronxville have seen a steady stream of shoppers, according to owners. Though the Cross County Shopping Center and its array of clothing retailers are just a five-minute drive away, Adrian East, owner of the eponymous clothing shop on Kraft Avenue, said that didn’t slow what was a very profitable August.

East found that most families and individuals are buying fall and winter items, like light dresses, shorts and tops as well as snowsuits and winter coats rather than conventional back-to-school apparel.

“My main competition is not the department stores, but rather the specialty stores and better boutiques,” she said. “I try not to carry the same products that can be found in department stores.”

On Pondfield Road, Bronxville Stationers owner Johnny Lee said a school supply partnership with the village’s elementary school has drawn customers and he has hopes for a

ly collapsed, graffiti-covered factory building. The court papers read like a developer’s worst nightmare of biased local bureaucracy that threatens to end in “the potential bankruptcy of Plateau concerning this project and the complete failure of the project.”

Rather than improve the village’s waterfront and housing to benefit Ossining taxpayers, Murtagh claimed in regard to village officials, “The real agenda is a spiteful use of the political process and the levers of village government to harass a developer who would not ‘play ball’ with petty local powerbrokers.”

Those power brokers, according to Stolatis, are Hernandez and William “Bill” Burton, a development consultant and former Ossining town supervisor who advised Hernandez — whose home adjoins the Brandreth Pill factory site— when Stolatis several years ago made a purchase offer to Hernandez for his property. Burton at the time served as a Westchester County legislator and was chairman of the Ossining Democratic Committee.

Stolatis and his attorney claimed Burton attempted to “shake down” the developer and renegotiate the price of the Hernandez property to four times its fair market value. Burton said he was “politically connected” and could help Plateau obtain project approvals for a $50,000 fee, according to the plaintiff. The developer said he declined the offer.

Stolatis in both lawsuits claimed Plateau’s refusal to make the deal with Hernandez and Burton has resulted in the ongoing delays and attempts to defeat the Hidden Cove project by the two men’s “political and governmental associates.”

Stolatis also claimed that Hernandez and others “engineered” the creation of the historic preservation commission and Hernandez’ appointment to it. Hernandez especially pushed to have the Brandreth factory designated a landmark, according to court papers, and village trustees adopted the commission’s recommendation.

“Thus, the village had, inexplicably, reversed itself entirely — moving from approved demolition of an unsafe structure to an oppressive, burdensome and groundless ‘ex-post facto’ landmarking,” Murtagh wrote in the court petition.

Plateau Associates wants a state judge to order Ossining officials to lift the 5-monthold stop-work order for the demolition project.

In the separate legal action against Hernandez, the attorney for Stolatis claimed the developer’s reputation was harmed by false statements made by Hernandez on two public Facebook pages, “About Ossining — A Town Square,” and “Ossining Taxpayers.”

A frequent commentator on the sites, Hernandez posted a photograph of Stolatis

taken at the Brandreth Pill Factory and captioned it, “Peter Stolatis at the site of his crime.” He later posted what he labeled “additional photos of the crime scene” and described the demolition contracting company as “unwitting accessories to the crime.”

In another posting, Hernandez claimed Stolatis had removed part of a metal roof on the factory and punched holes in it, calling the developer’s action “demolition by intentional neglect.”

The developer’s attorney argued those statements were defamatory and libelous by asserting that Stolatis was a criminal and had engaged in criminal activities, and Hernandez knew the false statements would damage the developer’s personal and business reputation.

“It’s not even close” to constituting defamation or libel, Oxman said of his client’s online statements. “There is no legal basis to the defamation action, and I am confident that it will be dismissed.”

Oxman said he thought the lawsuit “has been brought for the sole purpose of discouraging or chilling Mr. Hernandez from his opposition to Stolatis’ development plans.” He said he might counter with a legal action based on a New York civil rights statute that protects defendants from SLAPPs, or Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation.

boost in business in the coming weeks.

“This year’s business is about the same as last year’s,” Lee said. “Maybe next week it will get even busier.”

Though Hastings Stationery manager Kenny Jung said business has been hampered by the likes of Staples and other area big-box chains, the store was bustling on a recent afternoon. Parents and children, including a group of four girls buying a combined 13 notebooks, filled the store before village schools opened the following day.

With binders starting at $2.99, Jung said a major selling point of the Warburton Avenue business is its convenience and competitive prices.

“It’s easier to come in here as opposed to going all the way to Staples,” Jung said.

“Luckily in Hastings, everyone tries to support local businesses.”

often start out shopping at the big stores until they discover Squash’s, he said.

“Once they know that we’re here, it’s like a fish — you grab them, you hook them and you pull them in,” he said.

As in Hastings, Squash’s has also capitalized on community support from local schools to deliver value packs with all the supplies kids need as part of a currently expanding partnership program, said Whitney Williams, assistant store manager.

“Parents love the fact that they’re supporting the town,” she said.

She said many of her store’s prices are about the same or cheaper as big box stores.

Williams shopped at the store when she was a child and now brings her own children there to shop. She said lifelong residents like that the store has remained the same.

While not able to carry the massive stock of big-box stores, the store keeps prices about the same or cheaper than larger competitors by keeping a lean inventory and filling specialty custom orders quickly, she said.

But it is not only big-box stores that are keeping Main Street businesses on their toes.

“We are competing against the big-box stores and the Internet. We carry a lot of things that can be bought on the Internet, but the problem is the consumer needs information on product,” Raneri said, in Katonah.

“The big issue right now is to be able to sur-

vive in this kind of an environment.”

More than 35 percent of back-to-school shoppers are expected to spend their money online, according to the NRF study.

“To ease hectic schedules and long shopping lists, it’s likely that we’ll continue to see consumers try out and regularly use services like free shipping, reserve online and even same-day delivery — options busy parents have been waiting for,” said Pam Goodfellow, principal analyst with Prosper Insights & Analytics, which helped conduct the study.

The average family with children in grades K-12 is expected to spend $630 on electronics, apparel and supplies, down from $669 in 2014. Still, families on average have spent 42 percent more on school items in the past decade, and total spending this year is expected to reach $24.9 billion, according to the NRF study.

The need for information and most importantly, on-demand service, is an opportunity for Raneri and his staff to show off their product knowledge and earn repeat business through their hands-on approach guiding customers through their purchases, he said.

“That’s what makes the big difference between a small store like ours and a big-box store — it is all about customer service,” he said. “And the experience carries on even after you sell the product to the customer.”

Across the border

Bill Bellion, a store manager at Squash’s Ridgefield Office Supply, said he hopes to get some crossover business from New Yorkers still shopping for back-to-school items.

In business more than 40 years, Squash’s is one of the last remaining shops of its kind in the area. Bellion said parents like coming in because the staff is knowledgeable.

The store has benefited from a following of longtime residents and newcomers who

Port Chester blossoms into new happy hour destination

BY EVAN FALLOR evan@Westfairinc.com

F

or years, White Plains has had a stranglehold on the Westchester County happy hour scene. Its strip of restaurants and bars along Mamaroneck Avenue within walking distance or a short drive from the county’s top employers have long made it a desirable 5 p.m. destination.

Now its neighbor to the east is giving White Plains a run for its money. Port Chester’s restaurant scene has exploded in recent years, and that means more happy hours spent in the seaside village.

Several restaurants have made Port Chester’s location on the Byram River a destination for corporate workers looking for a post-work adult beverage and appetizer.

Located mainly along the downtown corridor of Main Street and Abendroth Avenue, roughly 10 restaurants and bars offer happy hours.

Bartaco, has been a post-work staple since it opened in 2011. The chain with regional locations in Stamford and Westport has five cocktails on its Happy Hour menu that complement its selection of tacos, rice bowls and guacamole.

On a recent Tuesday evening, Bartaco’s outdoor riverside patio was nearly entirely full with happy hour customers. The perpetually full Abendroth Avenue municipal parking lot was jammed with bar-goers taking advantage of the last days of summer.

Michelle Longo, assistant general manager of Port Chester Bartaco, said, although happy hour is not a focal point of the eatery, Fridays generally bring the biggest crowd of early evening patrons.

“It’s very diverse, between families, business people and millennials,” she said. “It’s a very busy crowd.”

Les Barnes, owner of neighboring Saltaire Oyster Bar and Restaurant, which opened Aug. 31, said he plans to eventually add outdoor seating overlooking the Byram River. A rear patio area along the river would lend itself to a thriving happy hour scene, he said during Saltaire’s renovation of the former Willet House Building on Abendroth Avenue.

“We hope to build a deck by next summer,” Barnes said.

Port Chester’s proximity to Metro-North, Interstates 95 and 287, the corporate parks of White Plains, Harrison, Rye Brook, Rye and Purchase as well as the region’s larger firms have made it a target for restaurateurs looking to expand in the region.

The village’s latest addition to the happy hour scene is the Port Chester Hall, a beer garden and eatery the village’s renovated train station. The hall, an extension of Manhattan-based brewpub Heartland Brewery, features a happy hour from Monday to Friday during which cocktails, wine and appetizers are half-price. During the week, the beer hall opens at 4 p.m., ready for the corporate crowd. It offers them varieties of Heartland brews served from a stein as well as railroad-themed cocktails like the Running Late Margarita and the Platform Spritzer.

When visitors have had their fill, they can hop aboard the New Haven Line that roars past the hall’s outdoor beer garden, which is outfitted with two 20-foot tall fireplaces and assorted televisions.

BUSINESSMAN ADMITS GUILT IN REAL ESTATE LOAN SCHEME

INBRIEF EX-OSSINING PLANNING CHIEF JOINS VHB IN WHITE PLAINS The former planning director for the village of Ossining, Valerie Monastra, has joined the White Plains office of VHB — Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc. — as senior project manager.

Monastra joins the community planning, design and engineering consulting company after 10 years in Ossining village government, where she led planning, land use, zoning, and housing and community development projects as planning director.

Her new private-sector employer said Monastra was instrumental in amending the village code to enact an affordable housing provision and establish the village’s affordable housing program in 2009. She managed the rewriting of the village’s zoning, storm water and flood damage prevention codes and supervised the village’s development of its comprehensive plan, for which Ossining received the Westchester Municipal Planning Federation’s Planning Achievement Award in 2010.

Empire also plans to develop New York CannaCare, a program that will take private and public donations to offset the cost for patients who can not afford medication, he said.

In terms of community pushback, while there have been reports of concerns from neighborhoods near the planned White Plains dispensary on 221-223 E. Post Road, Kingsley said he and his company have heard very little in terms of formal complaints and he encourages discussion with concerned individuals to clear the air of any misunderstandings.

“I see any opposition to this as a failure on our part on the outreach side,” he said.

“Imagine kids with seizures coming in and having their lives changed by this simple, clean, safe medication they are getting — that is something to be proud of. You have people at the end of life, they have no option, they come into this amazing facility and as often as not it will be helpful, it is something to be proud of.

“From a moral standpoint the lives that we are changing — the patients we are helping — it is an undeniable good for a community.”

conspired to obtain $63.5 million in loans from Sovereign Bank — now Santander Bank — to buy or refinance apartment-building complexes in Tennessee. Prosecutors said Zherka lied about the purchase price of the property being acquired and the amount of the down payment.

Zherka also admitted guilt to charges he engaged in a 5-year-long tax fraud scheme related to the apartment properties and the real estate holding companies in which he was a partner. As part of his plea agreement, he agreed to forfeit $5.23 million for filing materially false returns.

Zherka has been jailed without bail. His partners have entered guilty pleas in the bank loan conspiracy and are awaiting sentencing.

Westchester businessman Selim “Sam” Zherka will forfeit more than $5 million to federal authorities and faces a maximum five-year prison term for his admitted role in a bank loan fraud scheme involving real estate deals in Tennessee.

Zherka pleaded guilty Aug. 27 to conspiring to make false statements to a bank, U.S Attorney Preet Bharara announced after the 47-year-old Somers resident’s appearance in U.S. District Court in White Plains.

Sentencing is set for Dec. 22.

Zherka is publisher of The Westchester Guardian, a weekly newspaper based in New TWB Loan Decision Rochelle WCBJthat gained notoriety in the county under his ownership 7.375” w x 7.125” for h its editorial attacks on 8-6x-15 and lawsuits against elected officials.

Zherka’s investments in real estate, though, sparked an investigation by several federal agencies.

In December 2005, federal prosecutors charged Zherka and four business partners

Shore-LIJ CareConnect Insurance Co. Inc., and a contract extension with an established health insurer, Cigna.

A spokesman at the ear, nose, throat and allergy group practice headquartered in Tarrytown said the contracts, which took effect in July and August, ensure Cigna and CareConnect members will receive in-network rates at ENTA’s 41 offices in New York and New Jersey.

The nearly 175-physician specialty practice has negotiated group contracts with more than 20 insurance companies, an ENTA spokesman said.

ENTA CEO Robert A. Glazer said CIGNA’s and CareConnect’s coverage of employer groups at companies in the metro New York area, including Long Island and the Hudson Valley, “creates enormous synergies with our office locations.”

ENTA SIGNS INSURER CONTRACT WITH CIGNA, NORTH SHORE-LIJ ENT and Allergy Associates LLP has signed an agreement with a new thirdparty insurer in the tristate region, North

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Hiring and managing millennials I’m getting a lot of applications from millennials, but it seems like millennials are just looking for the next best thing and are not willing to work as hard as generations before. Is it just bad stereotypes?

How do I manage their expectations and mine, and use them to move the company forward?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Raised to be the best inside a protective bubble, millennials may need help to succeed. Harness the enthusiasm of youth, marry it with the wisdom that comes from experience, and you’ll have a winning combination. Stop generalizing.

Know that millennials want to buy in. Learn to harness a millennial and maybe one day they’ll help to run your company.

Kids raised by a generation of helicopter parents are now challenged with finding their own way. Encouraged to “be the best” while protected from the downsides, millennials come to the workplace with a high set of expectations, limited patience and low tolerance for failure.

Regardless of the generation label, most young people start jobs with energy, excite-

ment, impatience, desire to have an impact and perceived lack of respect for what they have not personally experienced. Don’t crush their dreams. Figure out how to support and manage their enthusiasm while funneling their ambition to fulfill company goals.

Managers who have paid their dues can feel frustrated when challenged. With years of experience, they feel like the new workforce lacks respect. They may also be insecure with a ‘if I teach this kid how to do my job, they’ll take it from me’ mentality. Teach your managers how to use the new talent pool to their advantage.

Be sure to hire the right millennial for your company, get individuals into the right jobs. Emphasize company culture in job ads, interviews and the onboarding process. Ascertain fitness periodically as you guide the growth and development of new employees. Just like everyone else, different millennials want different things.

If you’ve made a hiring mistake, help them figure out where to go next. Be willing to make calls, open doors, and provide advice — whether or not the millennial is willing to use the help, is up to him or her.

Be aware millennials may not have expe-

rienced real failure, buffered by helicopter parents intervening in difficult situations.

They may overestimate their abilities and get in over their heads.

Make sure they have a support structure while learning how things work in the real world. They need something they can succeed at, learning to stick with difficult, and sometimes frustrating work. Boost confidence by asking them to complete tasks within their scope as you give them higher level challenges to work on.

Millennials want to know the purpose behind their work. They want to accomplish things and expect their input to be valued.

They are often idealistic, passionate and futuristic with a burning desire to make an impact. Harness that energy.

Encourage them to question things, and show them why things are presently set up the way they are. Teach them to stick with it when things don’t go their way. Build confidence and comradeship by celebrating successes when they overcome setbacks.

Give millennials projects that have milestones and expose them to a variety of tasks.

Teach them how to break big projects into small tasks. Show them how to perfect ideas and presentations to navigate through a

chain of command. Millennials don’t like to be bored, they need to be busy.

Make time to listen and mentor, use one-on-one meetings to teach, explore new ideas and encourage them to persevere. Try out their best suggestions, even if it means changing the status quo, and give them credit when credit is due.

Teach millennials that a team mentality will have higher outcomes than an individual. Pair young hires with leaders who have earned respect from all levels of the organization. Encourage all employees to innovate and get work done efficiently, regardless of their age. Use brainstorming sessions to gather ideas and give the younger generation a chance to voice suggestions.

Ultimately the company will win or lose.

The question is how much talent will get lost in the process of negotiating personal desires and fit to culture. There’s a reason your company is bringing in new talent. It’s about more than getting work done today.

Someday, millennials will be the ones leading your company into the future.

SPECIAL REPORT SMALL BUSINESS BANKING

Patriot banks on growth

BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com

K

en Neilson thought he had retired after transforming a small New Jersey bank. A few years later, Stamfordbased Patriot National Bank asked him to do it again.

Neilson joined Patriot’s board in 2010 when the bank took about $50 million in recapitalization after net losses of $7.1 million in 2008 and $23.9 million in 2009. He became Patriot’s president and CEO three years later.

“I enjoyed being on the board of Patriot and was disappointed that the progress we made hadn’t been faster than it was,” Neilson said. “So when the board asked if I’d step in and speed things up, I thought it would be fun to get back into the saddle and make a difference.”

In the past few years the bank, which is based in Stamford and has 10 branches in Fairfield, New Haven and Westchester counties, has been quietly recovering from the recession.

It has had 16 quarters of increasing earnings, according to Neilson.

In July, the bank reported assets of $629 million, an increase from $552 million last June.

In August, Patriot announced private equity firm Castle Creek Capital LLC invested in the bank. That influx will help Patriot with its goal to grow aggressively, Neilson said.

Prior to joining Patriot National, Neilson was the president and CEO of Hudson United Bank, based in Mahwah, New Jersey. There, he expanded from 15 branches and about $500 million in assets to more than 200 branches, including in Connecticut and New York, and $9 billion in assets.

Hudson United sold to TD Banknorth for $2 billion in 2006 and Neilson retired.

Joining Patriot National posed a new challenge for the longtime banker. Patriot suffered during the recession, paying off 529 loans totaling $336 million.

In trying to turn things around, Neilson looked at Patriot’s biggest costs and the bank paid down its high-cost borrowings.

“We were borrowing money at rates higher than we were able to lend it out ,” he said.

The turnaround plan also included assessing and renegotiating every contract and reviewing the bank’s business lines.

Patriot stopped residential lending because competitors could be more efficient, Neilson said.

Now at profitability, Patriot is investing in buying the branches’ buildings. The bank went from paying $350,000 a year for rent in its Greenwich building to buying it and making $150,000 per year net of expenses from the tenants. The bank also purchased its facility in Milford and will do the same in Fairfield. The bank moved its Darien branch to a building it bought and will move the Stamford and Westport branches to purchased buildings.

In another money-saving move, Neilson relocated the corporate offices from Summer Street to Patriot’s building on Bedford Street.

Neilson said the building blocks to Patriot’s recovery have been simple, reliable ones.

“It’s just common-sense business things and analyzing every expense at every opportunity and achieving the base profitability you need to be able to hire the right people,” he said. “That’s what we’ve been doing.”

Neilson said he makes an effort to hire local staff that is involved in the community.

Loan officers are trained to try to understand more complicated loan applications to help customers.

While he calls small businesses the bank’s “bread and butter,” he said clients are diversified. The bank does not shy away from nonprofits, which are sometimes seen as risky deals.

Patriot National Bank gave two loans to a nonprofit renovating the 100-year-old Wall Street Theater in Norwalk. After facing rejection from other banks, the nonprofit received a pre-development loan of $500,000 and a $5.2 million loan for construction, said Frank Farricker, a developer with the project.

“They gave us all the money we need to be able to build this project,” Farricker said.

“I think it would have been highly unlikely

for us to be able to do this without them.”

Neilson said many banks would have rejected the theater’s application because it looked too risky. Patriot approved the loans because the project was not as risky as it looked and the end result would be good for the community, he said.

As the bank remodels and opens new branches, Neilson said he is keeping in mind they get less foot traffic than in the past. The new facility in Darien will serve as the model — it has open space and a community room with teleconferencing capabilities available for customer use.

While Patriot may not be the first bank to

roll out new technologies, Neilson said it will not be far behind with those offerings. Soon it will offer ATM machines with an option to speak with a live banker.

Because Patriot only has about o.1 percent of market share, the bank could grow 10 times over and barely get noticed, but still help many customers and employees and provide returns to investors, he said.

“We’re a small-market share player in a large market, so there is a lot of opportunity as we demonstrate the customer service difference between us and other institutions,” Neilson said. “I think there’s a lot of room for us to grow.”

OUR FAMILY OF COMPANIES

“I give to nonprofits that spend my donations directly on the people who need help, not administration.”

“The nonprofit I support only spends 10 percent on overhead. I would never give to one that spends more. They should be more efficient.”

Sounds reasonable, right? But this is a common misconception among some good-hearted people who want to support a good cause but who want their money to make the most difference.

What they don’t realize is this: money for fundraising and administration are necessary to sustain most charities. Don’t let the “nonprofit” label fool you. Nonprofits are businesses and like any business they need to have the tools and capacity to operate effectively and efficiently.

Consider this: How effective is a donation made to support a program if: • Computers are completely outdated taking staff two to three times as long to complete the work and crash frequently?

• Staff members don’t have the opportunity to attend conferences and learn cutting-edge techniques?

• There is a lack of first-rate performance-measurement systems that track the effectiveness of programs?

While overhead can serve a role in evaluating an organization, it should not be the sole measure of an organization’s success. Transparency, governance, leadership and – most importantly - results all should be considered.

The three leading nonprofit evaluation agencies – Better Business Bureau, Charity Navigator and Guidestar – have joined together in a campaign called “The Overhead Myth” to help correct this assumption around the idea that low administrative costs are inherently desirable. Studies have shown that not investing in administrative costs can be linked to poor organizational performance – the opposite of the intention. It is vital that nonprofit organizations have adequate funding for overhead in order to effectively run organizations and provide quality services.

Do a little homework, give thoughtfully and you will make a big difference.

NPW is a membership collective comprised of more than 90 Westchester nonprofits working to strengthen the impact, capacity and -Joanna Straub visibility of the nonprofit sector in the county for a more just and caring Executive Director, community.

Experts: Opportunity lies in Chinese stock collapse

BY EVAN FALLOR evan@Westfairinc.com

hile most may see the recent Chinese stock market collapse as an indicator of economic despair, some business experts see it as a golden opportunity for Westchester and Fairfield County firms.

Bruce Bachenheimer, a clinical professor of management at Pace University and the executive director of Entrepreneurship Lab — a Lubin School of Business networking and development program — said now is as good a time as ever for local companies to explore opportunities for partnerships and strategic alliances with Chinese companies.

“If I was a Chinese firm and saw this going on, I wouldn’t want to have all my eggs in one basket,” he said. “New York City is the financial capital of the world, and there is a lot of talent here in Westchester County and Fairfield County. I see it as an opportunity for small firms to do business.”

Despite China having the second largest economy in the world after experiencing accelerated growth in recent years, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has been on a downward slump for much of the summer.

Aug. 24, now widely known as “Black Monday” in the financial world, saw the Shanghai main share index lose 8.49 percent.

Calling the U.S. a safe haven economy, Bachenheimer said Westchester’s standing as a wealthy county with large amounts of intellectual capital make it a desirable destination for Chinese companies. Investments in the the tech industry would help these firms diversify.

Investors in Westchester, he said, can do one of two things: buy from China, where products and services are less expensive, or conversely, sell to Chinese companies. The selling opportunities, he said, are plentiful in a big market where specialty products may not be impacted by the shrinking Chinese growth rate.

At roughly $10 trillion in gross domestic product, the Chinese economy is still the second largest in the world and has been growing at a very rapid rate for decades. Though the rate is slowing now, it continues to grow.

The latest crash does not mean a direct negative impact on Westchester’s small businesses, Bachenheimer said.

“I think, if anything, the Chinese stock market crisis provides more opportunities than stability does,” Bachenheimer said.

“They should take these market jitters as an opportunity, not a reason to withdraw into a shell. The Chinese symbol for crisis is the same symbol for opportunity.”

Bruce Bachenheimer

Marsha Gordon, president and CEO of the Business Council of Westchester, said because China has been heading toward an economic adjustment for a while, area businesses may have been prepared for its pending economic downfall.

“Sophisticated businesses are prepared for the ups and downs in the economy,” Gordon said. “It will be interesting to see if this has any effect on consumer confidence with the sharp stock market swings. We have not heard this as an immediate business concern, or opportunity, from our members.”

George Avidon, managing partner at Norwalk-based The TradeXchange, a webbased trading information service, said he anticipates local business will need to rely on ingenuity and creativity to adapt to the “zeal” with which the Chinese approach business and global competitiveness.

“A renewed competitive nature may need to be restored to local business as the most recent currency volatility poses additional complexities,” Avidon said. “As local businesses, our greatest asset, in addition to capital and a wealth of business acumen, is the ability to adapt to new business climates and economic change.”

At the macro level, Avidon said Chinese products and services may decrease in price due to the devalued and depreciated renminbi. This in turn may cause U.S. export prices to rise.

Speculation has surfaced that the Chinese government may have made figures rosier than they truly are and its economy may be slowing down much more than stated. With its growth is at its lowest level in six years, Avidon said there is a considerable amount to distrust in the data provided by the Chinese government.

“Local business will need to approach each data point with seriousness and some level of skepticism,” he said.

Charitable giving through an IRA

uring your lifetime, you can support a charity with volunteer hours or donations. Donations to the charity you want to support may be limited, however, due to the constraints of your budget and worries about outliving your lifetime savings, especially given our increased life spans. An important option to explore is using a traditional Individual Retirement Account to support charities about which you care.

Over the past several decades, the use of IRAs for retirement savings has increased substantially. Upon leaving the workforce, many people use IRA rollover accounts to protect the savings they have accumulated through their 401K plans and other taxfavored retirement saving vehicles while working in corporations, schools, hospitals and many nonprofit associations. IRAs are also used by the self-employed to accumulate retirement savings and to reduce current income taxes. The traditional IRA is not taxed during the accumulation phase and all investment earnings are not taxed prior to distribution.

When a traditional IRA holder starts distribution after age 59 ½, the distribution is added to the taxpayer’s total income and taxed in the year received. The IRS requires an IRA account holder to take distribution after age 70 ½ under the minimum required distribution regulations.

Even after taking minimum required distributions, an IRA holder may face several tax hurdles in leaving the accumulated IRA to heirs. When doing estate planning, one should keep in mind that IRAs can be a tax burden to the heirs of the IRA holder and are an opportunity to leave a legacy for one or more charities that have had a special place in the IRA holder’s life.

Making a charity a beneficiary of an IRA is usually a simple process. The IRA holder requests a beneficiary designation form from the custodian/trustee. The IRA holder can name multiple beneficiaries including a combination of individuals and charities.

Undecided about which charity to designate when you have strong feelings for more than one charity? Name multiple charities as the beneficiary. However, it is best to specify a specific percentage to each charity when naming more than one beneficiary

of the IRA. When naming a charity as beneficiary, contact the charity to determine the legal name of the organization to avoid confusion at a later date.

Why does a person want to leave an IRA to a charity at death?

A gift of an IRA at death to a charity is not taxed for federal estate tax purposes and qualifies for a federal estate tax deduction. The taxpayer’s estate is not taxed for income taxes when leaving the IRA directly to the charity. Most importantly, the charity is not taxed on the proceeds when received.

Thus 100 percent of IRA proceeds can be used for the mission of the charitable institution.

Could an IRA account holder make a gift during their lifetime using the IRA? Yes, but it may not be effective from a tax standpoint.

If a person is under 59 ½ there is the 10 percent penalty for an early distribution.

If you do not itemize deductions, your gift will not allow you to receive a charitable gift deduction. Some states do not allow for a charitable gift deduction in their state income tax law. Charitable gifts are limited to 50 percent of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income. For example, if you made a $100,000 distribution from the IRA account and your AGI is $100,000, your maximum charitable deduction would be $50,000.

The one exception for a gift from an IRA during one’s lifetime is the IRA Charitable Rollover. Originally enacted in 2006, this allowed taxpayers over age 70 ½ to make a qualified distribution to a charity from the IRA up to $100,000 per year. The distribution from the IRA has to be paid directly from the custodian/trustee of the IRA to the charity. The taxpayer cannot receive any of the distribution. The IRA Charitable Rollover can be used to satisfy all or portions of the IRA account holder’s minimum required distribution withdrawal.

One word of caution: the IRA Charitable Rollover provision in the tax law expired on Dec. 31, 2013. In 2014, it was passed very late in December for only the 2014 tax year.

Many taxpayers could not take advantage of the IRA Charitable Rollover provision because of the late enactment and the tight requirements taxpayers needed to satisfy.

Many tax professionals believe Congress

will again reinstate the rollover provision in 2015, possibly on a permanent basis. While this looks favorable, if you are an IRA holder over age 70 ½ and are interested in making a distribution during your lifetime, stay in touch with your tax professionals to see if Congress passes the extension.

IRA distributions to a charity are a great tool in planning your estate. You can benefit a charity important to you during your lifetime while preserving the funds you yourself need on a day to day basis in life.

ARLENE ALDA TELLS IT THE WAY IT WAS In 62 brief conversational interviews and essays, author-photographer Arlene Alda, wife of actor Alan Alda, gathered enough Bronx-identifying contemporaries to fill a book titled “Just Kids From the Bronx.” In a happy and occasionally poignant collection of reminiscences, the 20th-century Bronx takes shape again in memories of the distinguished, the well-known and an extended circle of those who have had tangential or intersecting relationships with Alda, herself Bronx-born and raised.

Alda will be speaking at the Monroe Temple of Liberal Judaism in Orange County on Sept. 20 at 2 p.m. Books will be available for purchase and signed by the author. The event is free and open to the entire community.

Volunteers from the firm worked outdoors on the Green Chimneys campus to paint fencing around a climbing tower and apply fresh mulch to paths through a wildlife area – home to injured birds unable to survive on their own. They also offered vocational guidance to residents of high school age, addressing such topics as career options, job-interview techniques and other life skills required by these young people once they leave the Green Chimneys environment.

SUMMER’S BEST OFFICE PARTY

The second annual Corporate FunRun Westchester 5k encouraged 1,282 participants and 72 company teams to lace up their running shoes recently at Purchase College. The after-work, company-based run/walk attracted 500 more participants and nearly 30 more teams than in 2014, its inaugural year, raising more than $300,000 for Blythedale Children’s Hospital in Valhalla. Coined “The Summer’s Best Office Party,” the event featured a postrace fest and awards ceremony honoring the top individual and team racers.

LOVE ALL FOR LOEB

Summer Trails Day Camp recently hosted an event with New York Yankees’ shortstop Didi Gregorius to provide campers in the baseball program with a memorable learning experience. Gregorius led a baseball-focused discussion, demonstrated skills, answered campers’ questions and autographed memorabilia. The kids were able to engage in the sport and have fun with friends while testing their talents and expanding their sense of sportsmanship.

Ossining’s own Jamie Loeb recently returned to her hometown for Jamie Loeb Day. After receiving a proclamation from village officials, the 2015 NCAA Women’s Singles champion instructed young tennis players from the Ossining Day Camp program on the Nelson Park Tennis Courts. Earlier this year, Loeb was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Women’s Tennis Player of the Year for the second consecutive season and is one of only seven multipletime winners in the history of the conference.
