emocrats are poised for victory on Election Day in the races for senate and governor in New York while the governor’s race is too close to call in Connecticut.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Stefanowski has pulled to within the margin of error of Democrat Ned Lamont in the latest Quinnipiac University poll of likely voters.

The survey shows Stefanowski cutting Lamont’s lead from 8 points in Quinnipiac’s last poll to 4 points, and essentially agrees with a Sacred Heart University poll showing the GOP candidate trailing his opponent by 3.4 points. Lamont leads Stefanowski 47 percent to 43 percent, with independent candidate Oz Griebel at 7 percent.

Westchester developer plans 24-story ‘iconic’ hotel at entrance to New Rochelle

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

A

plan from a Dobbs Ferry developer would add an ‘iconic’ 24-story hotel along I-95 at the northern entrance to downtown New Rochelle.

D’Wayne Prieto, managing partner and CEO of Ward Capital Management, is leading the effort to bring a 225-room “urban resort” to the city’s downtown edge at 115

Cedar St. The developer plans to team up with Wyndham Hotels Group, which will operate the property and brand it under the company’s TRYP hotel title aimed at avid travelers.

The developer received approval for a zoning amendment in October to allow hotel use for the small block of property where it will be sited, which is off the Cedar Street traffic circle surrounded by I-95 and its on-ramps.

Speaking from the location with the Business Journal, Prieto

said there’s a nostalgia factor in his plan to re-use the historic 1905 building. His wife, Jewelle Prieto, was founder and co-owner of Don Coqui, the popular restaurant and nightlife spot that operated from the second floor of the three-story building from 2009 to 2015.

Before Don Coqui, it was home to MacMenamin’s Grill and, before that, the manufacturing company Plastic Works.

Prieto described the idea for the hotel as one floating in his

Building on a building PROPOSAL WOULD ADD THREE FLOORS ABOVE EAST POST ROAD STOREFRONT IN WHITE PLAINS

A

stretch of storefronts along East Post Road in White Plains could soon be updated and built upon to create 18 apartments and restaurant space in the city’s downtown.

The New York City development company that owns the building at 199-201 E. Post Road seeks a site plan amendment that would allow it to add three stories to the one-story building, with six apartments on each floor. The roughly 24,000-square-foot addition would bring apartments to a strip of the downtown that is mostly single-level commercial buildings.

The quarter-acre lot has a one-story building that was formerly home to the Thirsty Turtle restaurant and bar. The current owner, an affiliated company of New York City development group Sackman Enterprises Inc., bought the property for $800,000 in 2017.

The design for its redevelopment, from Sullivan Architecture PC, calls for all units to be one-bedroom and also adds a courtyard to the property for the restaurant’s use. The building went into foreclosure and was described by the project’s attorney, Janet Giris, as being in a state of disrepair at a city planning board meeting in September.

The restaurant space would include a restaurant and beer garden, intended to be more “family-oriented,” than its prior occupant, Giris said. A representative for the developer said the apartments would likely rent for between $1,700 and $1,900 per month.

One wrinkle to the proposal: it includes no parking. The building does not currently offer any offstreet parking and there are no plans to add any. The developer will instead pay a $260,000 fee in lieu of providing parking.

That caught the attention of the planning board. One board member shrugged it off as the “developer’s risk,” while another questioned whether it would set a precedent allowing other developers to forgo parking.

“This is the first time, as far as I know, that we have a development that will provide no parking on site,” said Lynn Oliva, a planning board member. “We’ve had many developments in and around this area that are all providing parking, so why this one, number one, is so special that it shouldn’t have to provide parking is a question.”

Rendering of apartments planned for East Post Road in White Plains.

One wrinkle to the proposal: it includes no parking. The building does not currently offer any offstreet parking and there are no plans to add any. The developer will instead pay a $260,000 fee in lieu of providing parking.

Giris said the decision to forgo parking is, in one sense, a practical matter. The quarter-acre has no natural place for parking.

“We’re doing a lot of development now where units are a little smaller, they’re occupied by millennials,” Giris said. “Millennials don’t have cars as a practical matter, they’re big users of Uber, big users of Zipcars.”

The apartments could arrive to an area of the city becoming increasingly residential. The lot is just a few hundred feet from the former Westchester Pavilion mall site, where Lennar Multifamily Communities has a proposal under city review that would build two, 24-story residential towers with 707 rental apartments on the vacant lot. It’s also not far from another Lennar project, which already has city approval, which would add 434 apartments to the corner of East Post Road and Mamaroneck Avenue.

This project represents the first in the county for Sackman Enterprises.

The company launched 45 years ago by focusing on restoring historic brownstones on Manhattan’s Upper West Side,

according to a description on its website. The company has holdings in residential and commercial properties in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and New Jersey.

The White Plains building complies with city zoning and requires approval only from the planning board. The board adjourned the matter in October to its monthly November meeting.

Our leaders must be held responsible for America’s hatred, division and tragedies FROM THE EDITORS. We’re all smart businesspeople.

We have to be in order to have achieved what we have achieved.

And now, we must use our powers of perception and intelligence to address a complex situation that begins to be unraveled by asking a rather simple question: Are we living in a country which is being manipulated to replicate Germany of the 1930s where hatred and anti-Semitism were the norm? Where political leaders used a philosophy of “divide and conquer” as they bullied their way to power? Where acts of violence and destruction of public and private property became tools to ensure dictatorial control over the masses?

Where the press was attacked and replaced by propaganda and lies packaged as a dictator’s vision of reality? Where children were turned against parents and neighbors against neighbors and formerly civilized individuals thought nothing of committing murder in the name of a nationalist philosophy built on hate?

No — the U.S. in 2018 may not now have reached equivalency with Germany of the 1930s, but many of the elements are already starting to appear here and recent events should serve as a warning of where our experiment in democracy could wind up and how quickly we as a society could descend into the depths of depravity.

The Oct. 27 massacre in the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh cannot be viewed as an isolated incident. Mass murders have taken place across the U.S. in schools, theaters, nightclubs, factories, offices. And, as if to amplify the aberrant effect, the Pittsburgh shooting took place within days of 14 packages containing pipe bombs being mailed in failed attempts to assassinate key political leaders, including past presidents, all of whom had been the subjects of criticism and ridicule by our current president, Donald Trump.

Did Mr. Trump empower the fringe elements at work here?

Evidence on the pipe bombing suspect’s van and websites clearly suggests that the answer is “yes.” Yet many Trump supporters just as emphatically say “no.”

Yet others, even powerful elected officials, stay stunningly silent.

As a society, though, we need to ask whether empowerment of

acceptable for the leader of the free world to deal in what are euphemistically called “alternative facts.” And, doesn’t a pattern of lies lead to sending a message that you as an individual can live in whatever reality you devise, even one in which violence and physical domination are more important than intellect.

Clearly, what we are seeing unfold, albeit with some things happening subtly and in slow motion, is not what the founding fathers intended. Checks and balances within the government are slowly being undermined and the rule of law seems no longer sacrosanct.

Continue the way we’re going and division, hatred and violence

hatred and violence is acceptable and should be allowed to stand.

While the Pittsburgh atrocity was clearly an act based on the shooter’s hatred of Jewish people as evidenced by his online postings and the invective he shouted as he was firing, his bigotry was unique because it was out in the open.

Hatred and bigotry can be found virtually everywhere you care to look for it in America today, from the workplace to places of recreation, and it is becoming more overt. The AntiDefamation League reported a 57 percent increase in the number of serious anti-Semitic incidents reported in 2017 over the number reported in 2016. People desecrated Jewish cemeteries, spray-painted Nazi swastikas on buildings or other property and committed or threatened acts of violence 1,986 times in the U.S. last year, according to the ADL. Why the increase? Many are convinced that it begins at the top, with President Trump, who drew a moral equivalency between white nationalist Nazis marching in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the peaceful protesters who tried to demonstrate that their form of hatred and violence has no place in our society. They also point out that Mr. Trump was reluctant to disavow the political support he had gotten from Ku Klux Klan Wizard David Duke. They also point to Mr. Trump’s inability to express empathy with victims of violence and hatred and sexual assault. Yes: there is truth to the proverb, “The fish rots from the head down.”

As businesspeople, we know that we must promote civility within our workforce. Doesn’t that make it even more outrageous for us to witness a president who rallies crowds by using invective directed at specific individuals and promotes chanting such as “Lock her up” and “CNN sucks?” And repeatedly attacks such stalwarts of truth and honest journalism as The New York Times and The Washington Post?

As businesspeople we know that we must protect our staff and our customers from random acts of aggression and violence. Does that mean that we are sinking to a level where armed guards must be every place in order to keep people safe? It truly is about time for politicians to stand up and begin a serious dialogue seeking reasonable solutions to the menace caused by living in a society where there are an estimated 393 million guns with military-style assault weapons available pretty much for the asking.

Bold leadership isn’t measured by the noise level of the bullying and demagoguery. It is measured by principled action designed to promote safety and security for all of us. As businesspeople, isn’t it time for us to come out from under the balance sheets and take stands on issues which might help keep our democracy one of the people, by the people and for the people?

As businesspeople, we know that there is a need for honesty, integrity and factualness when communicating with our employees and customers. Why then, is it

will become the dominant elements in the way we live our individual lives, interact with one another and forge the moral compass we pass along to our children. More than being dismissed as despicable tragedies, which are soon forgotten as have been others, the violence we have recently witnessed needs to be treated as a wakeup call we have no choice but to heed in order to save our society while we still have the chance.

Politicians need to care less about winning elections and more about doing what’s necessary to restore our nation to civility. Where has the courage of our founding fathers gone?

‘Thoughts and prayers’ are not enough after attack at Pittsburgh synagogue “ .... the voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto Me from the ground.”

(Genesis 4:10) To the New York Medical College Community: About 12 hours ago, On Shabbos Vayera, a gunman entered a Pittsburgh synagogue during morning services and killed eleven congregants while wounding six other individuals, including four police officers. This event may have the infamous distinction of being the deadliest attack on the Jewish community in American history.

Repetitive acts of gun violence punctuated, this week, by the mass distribution of mail bombs begin to leave us numb. How many more cycles are we to witness of mass murder, politicians sanctimoniously remembering the victims in their “thoughts and prayers” while taking no action, tearful funerals and irresponsible calls to respond to violence by the mass arming of civilians? What is there to say? Perhaps the most profound response is that attributed to Aaron after the death of his sons (Leviticus 10:3), veyidim Aharon “and Aaron was silent.”

What can words do to respond to this assault against human life, against the sanctity of a House of Prayer, against law enforcement and against our democratic values?

There may be no words adequate to respond to recent events, but there are actions. We recommit New York Medical College to its missions of the generation, conservation and dissemination of knowledge. We reaffirm our belief in providing access to health professions education to everyone irrespective of their gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, economic status, or any other factors other than their academic record, their commitment and their character. Recognizing that wisdom derives from the confluence of values and knowledge, we are wise enough to reject hate and violence.

May the Almighty comfort those who mourn among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. May the memories of the deceased be for a blessing.

Four ways to reach more customers with Alexa

CREATE ALEXA SKILLS AND FLASH BRIEFINGS

Alexa Skills can allow potential customers to connect with your business. You can create an Alexa Skill to help others book an appointment, request a consultation, order your product or service or call your business. Flash Briefings are updates about your company. Examples of these include the introduction of a new employee, product or service, specials, promotions, partnerships and event announcements among other options.

Promote your Alexa Skill or Flash Briefing in your newsletters, social media posts and in your physical location if you have one.

y 2020, there will be 200 billion voice search queries per month, and more than half of searches will come from voice and image search. Sixty percent of people surveyed say they used a voice assistant or voice search within the past 12 months. If you want to stay ahead of the curve and reach people on the devices they use, you have to learn about VEO (Voice Engine Optimization).

Leveraging this technology can help you get found by more potential customers searching for your type of product or service. Brands are beginning to take advantage of the voice search trend. You can order an iced grande caramel macchiato from Starbucks and book a ride from Uber via Alexa.

Help potential customers find your business on voice search with the following four strategies.

mobile-friendly. Customers are usually near their mobile devices throughout the day.

Run your website through Google’s mobile-friendly test to determine if you’re making a positive first impression on mobile visitors. In 2018, 52.2 percent of global internet traffic to websites happens on mobile phones.

Therefore, your website’s mobile-friendliness will impact every person who researches your brand and visits your site.

COMPLETE AND OPTIMIZE YOUR ONLINE LISTINGS

Alexa often pulls information from online listings like Facebook, Google My Business and Yelp to answer its users’ questions. Fill out your business hours and company description in those listings. Encouraging customers to leave a review of your business if they had a positive experience can also help as recent reviews improve the credibility of your listing. Updating your work hours to reflect the changes in season and holidays can keep your customers informed.

Here’s a tip for people with a Google My Business listing. Post to your listing twice per day. In the same way you post to your social media accounts, publish content to your Google My

Structured data is information that is easily understood by the robots or algorithms inside Alexa, Facebook, Google and other software. Publish your frequently asked questions on your website using structured data so Alexa can comprehend and read your answers back to others. For example, if someone asks “does this orthodontist offer Invisalign?”

Alexa can respond, “Yes, [the business] offers Invisalign.” Other questions you can answer if they apply to your business include: where is the business located?; and does the business offer a free consultation? Since most people use voice assistants like Alexa, Siri and Google Home to answer quick questions, anticipate what those inquiries will be and answer them.

The world’s largest tech companies, Amazon, Google, Apple and Facebook, have made it their mission to get voice assistants into your home. They’re succeeding, with more people becoming comfortable by seeking guidance from voice assistants. When customers go to their voice assistants with questions about your business, make sure you have the answers.

ciples. There are many publications, webinars, and seminars available to explain and guide you through implementation.

Public companies have already adopted ASC 606, so getting examples of what you should be doing is not difficult. You just have to take the time to address and understand this change.

MARK L. FAGAN The time is almost here for private companies. ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), is effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018 (2019 calendar year-ends).

The new standard can have a significant impact on your business. Here are five reasons why business owners and CEOs should care:

4. The devil is in the details. It’s important to understand that, in order to properly determine whether or not ASC 606 will significantly change the way a company recognizes revenue, you have to go through the assessment and implementation process in a thoughtful and comprehensive manner. This process must include (frankly start with) gaining a thorough understanding of ASC 606. You can’t just rely on your outside accountants to get you through this. Why? Because you, as CEO/ owner and your finance team, are the ultimate custodians of your company’s financial information. As such, the finance team is required to demonstrate the ability to produce an accurate set of financial statements. You will need to apply the new standard to all contractual relationships the company has with its customers for all revenue generating activities. It is critical that all services and deliverables expected by your customers be considered, whether explicitly written or simply implied by your customary business practices. This process should be performed by personnel who understand all the goods and services provided to your customers, as well as those charged with accounting for the activities.

The result will be a set of corporate governance documents that record the significant assumptions made to determine why and how ASC 606 affects revenue.

1. The value of your company could change. Revenue is a critical component in determining the value of a company.

ASC 606 changes revenue recognition from a rule-based approach, which contains industry-specific standards, to a principlebased, comprehensive approach applied to all entities, substantially eliminating the existing industry-specific standards. The adoption of ASC 606 will require companies to identify all services being provided to a customer, even those not specified on a purchase order or contract, and allocate the transaction price to the delivery of those services. Generally, companies with complex customer relationships have a higher probability that ASC 606 will change the way they recognize revenues either causing revenue recognition to be delayed or accelerated as compared to the legacy standards. This change could affect the value 5. It’s a good time to take stock.

mind for years. During the Don Coqui years, he “spent many nights here seeing the flows in and out, and realized this location would be ideal for a destination. It was a destination as a restaurant. But there was no place to stay.”

The opportunity to act on his vision opened up when the property hit the market and Ward Capital purchased it through an affiliate company in August for $3.65 million. A month later, Prieto and Wyndham officials brought plans before the city council to start the hotel review process.

The plan includes 150 standard hotel rooms and 75 extended stay suites. The historic building at 115 Cedar St. would be renovated to include a hotel lobby, bar and elevator bank on the first floor, a restaurant and lounge on the second floor and office, meeting and conference space, as well as ballrooms, on the third. The roof would be converted to a landscaped terrace with an open air lounge and bar.

The hotel rooms would rise in a 24-story tower behind the original building. As designed by Gregory Sharp Architect PC, the tower is meant to create an “iconic architecture identifiable and readable from I-95,” Sharp told the city council at a meeting in September.

The side of the tower facing I-95 will feature a grid of concrete-looking piers that will float over a glass curtain wall to create a “unique experience from both the inside and outside,” Sharp told the council. A glass curtain wall on the other side of the building will face toward the Long Island Sound.

A rooftop pool on the 24th floor will host another lounge for hotel guests only, featuring a bar, kitchen and pool with a hydro-floor that can be converted to flat ground for events. The floor will have views of the Long Island Sound, Westchester County and parts of the city, Prieto said.

Likely voters in the state disapprove of the way Trump is doing his job by a 59-39 margin.

“We don’t have a revenue problem in this state.

We have a spending problem,” Stefanowski said in an Oct. 15 Business Journal interview. “The reason so many people are leaving the state is because of higher taxes.”

Lamont criticized his opponent in an Oct. 1 Business Journal interview.

“Bob Stefanowski’s plan isn’t to cut the income tax, but to eliminate it, which would cut $10 billion to $11 billion out of our budget,” Lamont said. “That’s [almost] 60 percent of our $20 billion budget.”

the town,” Prieto said. “You’ll always remember you passed New Rochelle because of this building.”

To address parking issues that could occasionally cause traffic to back up to the Cedar Street traffic circle, the hotel plan includes a 323space parking garage that will include an automatic valet system as well as roads that will circulate visitors through the property with the aim of preventing any backups.

The developer also is exploring ways to add a pedestrian bridge across Cedar Street to better connect the site to the downtown.

with only two hotels, but a population heading toward 80,000, Prieto pointed out to the city council in September. There’s a 129room Radisson Hotel and a 127-room Residence Inn. Another 80-room boutique hotel is under construction in the city on Church Street.

The New Rochelle TRYP could not only add to that room total, but Prieto said it could create a new “social networking hub” and resort for people looking for a relaxing weekend getaway to enjoy the spa, restaurant and rooftop lounge.

“We’re trying to help promote tourism in New Rochelle by being either a destination ourselves, or by providing capacity for people who are coming to visit families, go boating, to the beach or the new arts programs we have here,” Prieto said.

He said the TRYP brand is popular with international travelers as well. TRYP’s only other regional locations are near Times Square and Newark, as well as in Atlantic City.

In the city council pre-

sentation, the developer estimated the project would generate more than $300,000 each year from the city’s 3 percent hotel occupancy room tax, as well as create 150 permanent jobs.

The proposal still needs site plan approval from the city, for which Prieto said he hopes to file soon. The hotel team also plans to petition the IDA for tax abatements to help with the project’s financing, which Prieto said is necessary given the large-scale parking construction the site will require to be viable.

In the zoning review, the project received positive comments from the board, other than a push for more parking spaces, which Prieto said he is exploring. Council member Barry Fertel called it “one of the most exciting opportunities I’ve come across” in 13 years on the council. Mayor Noam Bramson praised the project’s design as a way to create a gateway for the city.

Prieto said that, if approvals go as planned, he hopes his company can start construction in the spring of 2019 and open between 2020 and 2021.

In the Connecticut U.S. Senate race, Democrat incumbent Chris Murphy leads Republican challenger and business owner Matthew Corey 56-41 percent among likely voters, compared with a 57-42 percent lead for Murphy in the previous Quinnipiac poll.

Murphy is ahead 96-3 percent among Democrats and 54-42 percent among independent voters. Corey leads by 89-9 percent among Republicans.

In New York, incumbent Gov. Andrew Cuomo enjoys a 58-35 lead over Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro.

Cuomo, who has a commanding 6-1 advantage in New York City, according to Quinnipiac, also enjoys a 62-30 lead among women and a 54-40 advantage among men. His advantage among independents is 54-38.

Cuomo has the support of Democrats by an 88-6 margin while Molinaro enjoys GOP support by a margin of 81-13.

New York City provides

Cuomo with a margin of victory of 77-13. Cuomo is also winning in the suburbs, 52-45. Molinaro is winning in upstate New York, 52-41.

White voters favor Cuomo, 48-46, while nonwhite voters overwhelmingly support the governor, 77-15.

According to Quinnipiac, health care is the top issue in choosing the state’s chief executive (17 percent), followed by taxes (16 percent), the economy (15 percent), education (13 percent) and immigration (13 percent).

In New York’s battle for the senate, incumbent Kirsten Gillibrand enjoys a 58-33 lead over Chele Farley.

Also revealed in the poll is that the state’s likely voters disapprove of the job Trump is doing 60 percent to 37 percent. This includes 73-22 in New York City and 54-46 in the suburbs. Voters approve of Trump 49-48 in upstate New York.

Quinnipiac surveyed 852 likely voters for the poll with a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 percentage points.

Survey: 67 percent growth in TV, film impact in Westchester

estchester County’s vast backdrops, historical sites, state-of-the-art sound stages and proximity to New York City undoubtedly make the region ideal for the film industry. It’s for many of those reasons that Westchester has been the film location of choice for countless television series, commercials and music videos, and more than 160 feature films since 1965. The economic impact survey, conducted every two years by the Westchester County Tourism & Film Office, reports more than $30 million generated by the TV and film industry in 2016. That’s a 67 percent increase since its 2014 survey.

With on-location production days rising year after year, and the economic impact growing furiously, there is no sign of the region’s film industry slowing down.

For my newest film, “No Alternative,” filming in Westchester, and in Yonkers specifically, was the only option. The film is a coming of age drama I wrote and directed and is inspired by my family and my teen years growing up in Yonkers in the

early 1990s. Aside from being the most fitting location, as it is set where it was filmed, there were a number of benefits to filming in the region. The look and history of the locale was important. The film needed period-specific houses, buildings, infrastructure and the general patina to recreate 1990s Westchester County. In addition, having various types of locations at the ready was key, and from city to suburban to rural expanses, Westchester has it all.

Outside of the visual advantages Westchester offers, the region is incredibly film-friendly. Ease of permitting, affordability and resident enthusiasm were all part of choosing to film here, and the tax incentives provided by New York state were an incredibly appealing bonus. Utilizing the tax breaks given by the New York State Film Tax Credit Program, and working closely with both the Mayor’s Office of Film & Photography in Yonkers and the Westchester County Film office to maneuver the logistics, the production crew and I felt supported

and at home in more ways than one. “No Alternative” utilized 11 local entities and businesses for filming and production purposes, and we hired nearly 100 local residents for cast and crew.

The region, too, stands to make big gains. Between job creation and local spending, film shoots help flood dollars into the region and its businesses within a relatively short period of time. History shows that film tourism grows in regions where films are produced. Tourists visit distinct locations and historic sites that have been given exposure via films or venture to places where movies or television shows are currently being shot. These visits, often overnight stays, create revenue and employment opportunities that may not otherwise exist without the film industry and the exposure it brings.

Lennar Multifamily closes on $25M purchase of Mamaroneck Avenue site

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

A

n affiliated company of Lennar Multifamily Communities has closed on a $25 million purchase of properties along Mamaroneck Avenue and Mitchell Place in downtown White Plains. The purchase marks the latest step in a plan from the company to build 434 apartments and a small retail space along a stretch known as the city's "restaurant row."

Lennar bought the properties at 9 Mitchell Place and 131 Mamaroneck Ave. through a single deed recorded Oct. 3 from Devon Plaza Realty, which lists an address in Manhattan in care of JAH Realties LP. Greg Belew, Lennar Multifamily Communities’ city president for the New York tristate region, con-

firmed to the Business Journal that the properties are part of its plan to build the 16-story, 440,000-square-foot apartment tower complex the city approved for the site in 2017.

The 131 Mamaroneck Ave. lot includes a stretch of storefronts from the corner of Mamaroneck and East Post Road to a dollar store on Mamaroneck Avenue.

The 9 Mitchell address is an automotive lot near the corner of Mamaroneck and Mitchell Place.

The approved plans call for a mix of studios and apartment units ranging from one to three bedrooms. Those apartments would be spread across three building segments on the 2.1-acre site: two 15-story buildings and a 6-story building. Included in the project is 8,000 square feet of ground-level retail and restaurant space on Mamaroneck Avenue.

A 6-story parking structure

would be built within the central building, not visible from street level. The plan also calls for a small park open to the public on the Mitchell Place side of the building.

The next step in the project, Belew said, is demolition of buildings on the site starting in November. The start of construction is planned for early next year.

Lennar Multifamily is an arm of the publicly traded Lennar Corp., which is headquartered in Miami and is the nation’s largest homebuilder.

Lennar Multifamily, which has a New York metro office in Stamford, is also the developer behind a plan for two apartment towers in downtown White Plains at the site of the former Westchester Pavilion.

While the Pavilion has already been demolished, the developer presented revised plans for its residential redevelopment there that are still under review by the city.

Will your company owe out-of-state sales taxes?

I

f you do business in other states, you may have to begin collecting and remitting sales taxes to those states. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states have the authority to collect sales taxes from out-of-state companies if a nexus exists.

“Nexus” means a business presence that’s substantial enough to trigger that state’s tax rules and obligations.

Precisely what activates nexus in a state depends on its chosen criteria. Common triggers include employing workers, using a local telephone number, owning property and marketing products or services in the state.

Depending on state tax laws, nexus could also result from installing equipment, performing services and providing training or warranty work in the state. This applies either with your own workforce or by hiring others to perform the work on your behalf.

A minimal amount of business activity in a state probably won’t create tax liability.

A furnace repairman who makes two calls a year across state lines probably wouldn’t be taxed in that state. As with many tax issues, the totality of facts and circumstances will determine whether you have nexus in a state.

Norman G. Grill

OPTING FOR MARKET-BASED SOURCING

If your company licenses intangibles or provides after-market services to customers, you may need to consider “market-based sourcing,” instead of nexus, to determine state tax liabilities. However, not all states have adopted market-based sourcing. And states that have adopted this model may have subtly different rules.

Here’s how it generally works: If the benefits of a service take place and will be used in another state, that state will tax the revenue gained from that service. “Service revenue” generally is defined as revenue from

intangible assets — not the sales of tangible personal property. Thus, in market-based sourcing states, the destination of a service is the relevant taxation factor rather than the state in which the income-producing activity is performed. This is also known as the “cost-of-performance” method.

Essentially, these states are looking to claim a percentage of any service revenue arising from residents (customers) within their borders. But there’s a trade-off. Market-based sourcing states sacrifice some in-state tax revenue because of lower apportionment figures. (Apportionment is a formula-based approach to allocating companies’ taxable revenue.) But these states feel that, even with the loss of some in-state tax revenue, they’ll see a net gain as their pool of taxable sales increases.

PLANNING AHEAD

If your company operates in other states or is planning to, you’ll want to look at more than logistics and market viability. A nexus study can provide insight into potential out-of-state taxes to which your business activities may expose you. There’s a possibility that, because of differing state rules, you may find yourself subject to tax in more than one state.

If that happens, you’ll need to navigate the rules with caution to determine how best to reconcile the inconsistencies. Once all applicable income, sales and use, franchise and property taxes are factored into your analysis, the effect on profits could be significant.

The results of a nexus study may not be negative. If you operate primarily in a state with higher taxes, you may find that your company’s overall tax liability is lower in a neighboring state. In such cases, it may be advantageous to create nexus in that state by setting up a small office there. If all goes well, you may be able to allocate some income to that state and lower your tax bill.

Finding the right event venue

T

hough there are many components to planning a memorable event, finding the right venue is an art form all its own. The right venue ensures that your event will be executed to its exact specifications, and that guests will be surprised and delighted by their experience, resulting in a favorable view of your company, or the clients you represent.

The right venue can also make the planning process much more seamless, helping to provide you with all the “extras” needed to make a lasting impression, from linens to florals, to connecting you to other vendors who will aid in bringing your event to life.

The following five elements provide the foundation of a stellar venue.

bar, wine pairings or alcohol-free) is key to your event’s success. When budget is an issue, you may choose to plan an alcohol-free function, but simply keeping the offering to one alcoholic selection — such as bubbly or a single signature cocktail — can make a big dent in cost, without seeming like a budget cop-out.

Costs can be deferred by working with an alcohol sponsor. The on-site event manager can often be your secret weapon in determining the appropriate menu for your event needs and

budget. Don’t be afraid to tap into their expertise and also to negotiate. The venues want your business and are inclined to work with you.

ple are talking about in local magazines, on social media and around the water cooler, you’re getting warm. A bonus: sometimes it’s easier to book a full event at these spots than to reserve a simple table for two.

‘WOW’ FACTOR

Be sure to choose the venue with the biggest “wow” factor. Maybe it’s buying out the restaurant that is booked on Saturday nights until the end of the year. Or, it’s selecting the restaurant that has just won “Best Restaurant of the Year” or “Best Chef ” accolades. If the venue you’re eyeballing is one that peo-

CAPACITY

Sounds simple, but this one can make or break you. The right venue isn’t the right venue if it holds just under your anticipated attendee target. While drop-off is to be expected, you don’t want the room to be too tight, to stop a healthy flow of moving about the room, or uncomfortable in any way for your guests.

If the latter is true, discomfort will be the only takeaway from the evening.

Do your due diligence to ensure that a space isn’t going to be too large for the function. An intimate client dinner, for instance, wouldn’t go over best in a large event hall. The private room of a restaurant, or even a cozy corner table in the heart of the restaurant, is a better option, giving your guests the atmosphere and energy of the restaurant itself, with a private enough area to conduct business and personalize the table and space to your specifications.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION

Try to choose a venue that’s most convenient and appealing to the guests you’re hoping to attract. If it’s an after-work networking event, try to plan it nearest to where your invitees go to work all day, or along the popular commute home route. If it’s a weekend function, try to select a venue that is a destination unto itself — on the water, with sunset views, or at a rooftop lounge. While you can’t capture the perfect location for everybody, you can pick a spot that’s easy to get to, isn’t accessible only via the most gridlocked highway in the area and generally speaking, isn’t off the beaten path. This one’s a biggie, and not to be underestimated.

TECHNOLOGICAL COMPONENTS

While some events are more high touch than high-tech, technology matters and you’ll need to ensure the event space is equipped to handle your needs as seamlessly as possible. Some questions to ask include: • Is the audiovisual in the room high quality, and easy to handle?

• Are screens available to show presentations, or to help mark the room with your client’s logos and branding?

• Is there a microphone available to address guests during speeches?

• Can you pipe in a curated playlist of songs?

FOOD AND BEVERAGE

Selecting the right combination of food (hors d’oeuvres vs. a sit-down meal) and drink (full

Chicken Island: AMS Acquisitions to spend $16 million for long undeveloped piece of Yonkers downtown

onkers has found a new buyer willing to build on a 6-acre undeveloped parcel in its downtown known as Chicken Island.

Mayor Mike Spano held a press conference to announce what he said could be a "watershed moment" for the city: AMS Acquistions LLC has agreed to purchase Chicken Island from the municipality for $16 million, pending City Council approval.

AMS principals said at the announcement they aim to turn the property into a downtown epicenter, with a concentration of shopping, dining, apartment buildings, offices and a luxury hotel.

The announcement marks the latest of multiple plans hatched for the property, which gets its name from a small chicken farm that operated there in the 19th century — a time when the Saw Mill River surrounded the lot and made it a small island.

"The city has tried for more than 40 years to develop Chicken Island without success,” Spano said. “This is a game-changer for Yonkers, because it proves economic development and a growing tax base is possible beyond the waterfront.”

The most recent big plans for the site came from the city’s former master developer, Struever Fidelco Cappelli L.L.C. The name represented the three big-name developers in the partnership: New Jersey-based Fidelco Realty Group, Valhalla's Cappelli

Enterprises Inc. and Struever Bros. Eccles & Rouse, a Baltimore developer known for its transformation of that city’s Inner Harbor.

The group envisioned its own downtown epicenter, branded as River Park Center, with high-rise residential towers, a cinema complex, major retail stores, commercial office space and a stadium to attract a minor league baseball team to Yonkers.

That plan initially faced community opposition, then never got off the ground as the financial crisis in 2008 and subsequent economic downturn stalled development projects throughout the country.

Yonkers called off the master developer partnership in 2013, though last year a reorganized form of the company agreed to fund the $5 million environmental remediation of the brownfield site.

A series of requests for proposal have followed in the years since, but Spano said the city received only vague, under-financed plans.

Yonkers changed tack recently, Spano said, and started reaching out directly to established developers in the city to gauge interest.

That included AMS. The company already had expanded its Yonkers presence at the beginning of 2018, when it paid $9.5 million to purchase 86 Main St., a six-story, 70,000-square-foot office building on the southeast corner of Main Street and Buena Vista Avenue across from the Yonkers Metro-North train station. The company also owns 92 Main St., a 78,000-squarefoot, mixed-use building that was formerly a city trolley

barn. That building includes 40 live-work lofts and is home to Chase Bank and Yonkers Brewery.

“Downtown Yonkers is in the midst of a renaissance,” said Michael Mitnick, principal of AMS Acquisitions. “AMS is invested heavily in the growth and expansion of this incredible and unique market."

Formed in 2012, AMS' portfolio includes approximately 1.5 million square feet of retail, residential and office space in the tri-state region.

Chicken Island is zoned to allow development of up to 25 stories. Potential buildings there are zoned to allow a wide range of uses as well, the city said, including retail, restaurant, office, colleges and residential.

"Seven years ago the Chicken Island redevelopment plan was dead,” said Spano.

“Now we have a workable plan, backed up with hard dollars that the city can use in the short run to fund our schools and essential services, and in the long run we will collect many millions of real estate and income taxes plus take another giant leap forward in revitalizing the downtown.”

The city envisions the development of Chicken Island complementing two nearby public works projects: the building of a new fire station on New School Street and a soon-to-be-completed phase of the Saw Mill River daylighting along New Main Street.

AMS paid the city $800,000 as a deposit on the letter of the intent to purchase the property. The balance of the purchase will be paid following the sale's approval by the city council, Spano said.

Financial pros suggest uncertainty is a certainty

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

V

olatility in the stock market, rising interest rates, the threat of tariffs torpedoing international trade deals while driving up costs for U.S. manufacturers and effects of changes in federal tax law are among the factors adding new levels of complexity to financial decision-making, according to the six financial professionals who took part in a forum in Suffern on Oct. 30. The event was titled “Navigating the Financial Markets in the Current Administration.” It explored the effects Trump administration policies have been having on areas such as real estate, banking, securities, taxes and private equity deals.

Laurence Keiser, an attorney and accountant who is a partner in the New York

City and White Plains firm Stern, Keiser & Panken LLP, said that the true impact of what the Republicans touted as a significant tax cut for everyone will soon be known. “I think a lot of people are going to be surprised when they get their [2018] returns back from their accountants and see that they maybe haven’t had a tax cut at all. Maybe they’ve had an increase.”

The capping of federal deductibility of state and local taxes (SALT), especially real estate property taxes, at $10,000 is certain to have a major impact on many. Still uncertain is the impact of changes in the federal tax brackets. “The brackets have been broadened so, although they’ve all been lowered a little bit, there’s more income going to be taxed at higher brackets,” he said.

Keiser said that lowering the corporate tax rate

to 21 percent has not had the stimulus effect which was advertised. “I think it’s been halfhearted. To give a $2,500 bonus to your employees, that’s a stimulus, so they buy a little more at the grocery store that week, but I don’t think we’ve seen the kind of investment in the U.S. that we’ve hoped to.”

Elizabeth Brucker, a mortgage loan originator in residential lending for First County Bank, said interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have contributed to the housing market slowdown, while the new limitation on SALT deductibility appears to be having a greater psychological impact. People in what she calls the “sandwich” level of home sales, not low-priced and not mansions, $350,000 to $800,000, are “…thinking about the taxes they have to pay. They’ll be paying $5,000 to $10,000 more.

This is hurting their pockets.

This could mean the family vacation they were going to take the kids on, now they have to sacrifice, or maybe [sacrifice] buying a new car,” Brucker said.

Bill Krivicich, chief investment officer for Gary Goldberg Financial Services, said that while unemployment rates have been low, “..it really comes down to what are the advancements in productivity.” He said that some wage inflation is good because it means people have more money in their pockets.

Louise Phillips Forbes, a real estate broker with Halstead Manhattan, suggested that real estate is the greatest tool for creating wealth and said that uncertainty, terrorism, market volatility and rising interest rates have combined to get would-be buyers off the fence. She said people could remove some uncertainty by locking in today’s inter-

est rates in financing their real estate deals: “Buy more today and less tomorrow,” Forbes said.

Ted Yang, managing director of the Westbury Group, an investment bank for entrepreneurs located in Westport, told the gathering that he does business in China and believes that President Trump will want to resolve the trade issues before the 2020 election.

“I think after the midterms you’re going to see more moves to resolve these issues.” Yang said his experience is that the Chinese he knows still are very upbeat about dealing with America.

Yang notes that a great deal of capital is available for buying businesses here at home. “If you’ve got cash flow, people are paying high multiples for that.”

Yang says it’s akin to real estate: “There is a demand for quality. If you have a better company, whatever met-

ric you want to use … you’re going to see deals that still gravitate to you.”

Gary Goldberg, founder and CEO of a financial services company, warned that people heavily invested in mutual funds could be exposed to unexpected taxes for 2017 due to the high level of stock trading by the funds in the current volatile market. “Brace yourself for a 1099 (tax form) that’s gonna be hurtful for embedded gains in funds,” he said. The forum took place at the Montebello Mansion, where Goldberg’s firm has its offices.

Sponsors of the event included Westfair Communications, publisher of the Westchester County Business Journal, the Fairfield County Business Journal and WAG magazine; the real estate firm Compass; Halstead Real Estate; and Gary Goldberg Financial Services.

SPECIAL REPORT | Hospitals

Health care job growth is double state’s other professions

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

H

ealth care jobs are growing in New York state at a rate double that of overall employment, as evidenced in major construction projects at hospitals and in expansion of outpatient care facilities in Westchester County.

The job numbers are just one of many figures included in a recent report from New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli extolling the strength of the market for health care employment statewide.

Health care jobs exceeded 1.2 million in New York in 2017, growing at a rate of more than 18 percent in the past decade, DiNapoli found.

New York ranked third in the nation for health care employment, behind only California and Texas. New York has 200,000 more jobs in the sector than the more populous Florida.

Health care is the state’s third-largest employment

industry, trailing only professional services and trade, transportation and utilities, according to the report. The industry provided nearly $71 billion in wages statewide, with an average annual wage of $57,200 last year.

Labor statistics break down the health care jobs field into three subsectors: ambulatory health care services, hospitals and nursing homes and residential care facilities.

Ambulatory services represent about 44 percent of health care jobs in the state, hospitals 34 percent and nursing and residential facilities 22 percent.

In Westchester, health care providers employed 61,588 people in 2017, a 16 percent increase from a decade earlier. The average annual wage in the industry in Westchester increased 28.5 percent in 10 years to reach $64,651.

One example of that growth is White Plains Hospital. The hospital’s total employment jumped from 1,672 full-time employ-

ees in 2009 to 3,115 in 2018, according to numbers provided by Diane M. Woolley, chief human resources officer at the hospital.

The 125-year-old hospital has changed significantly in that time, most notably partnering with the regional Montefiore Health System in 2015. A wave of construction and facility expansions have also added to the employee total, such as a $60 million cancer center expansion and a $17.5 million renovation of clinical space at the 292-bed East Post Road hospital.

“We’re not the same organization we were in 2009,” Woolley said.

“We’ve acquired a lot of different physician practices, opened up different services. We've grown in a lot of ways, but that is a crazy number in the increase of (full-time employees).”

As the hospital adds services and sees more patients, “there’s a domino effect,” Woolley explained, that goes from health care professions to housekeeping and food service. The most

in-demand positions, she said, are general nursing and specialty nurses.

“We’re always looking for all types of nurses,” Woolley said. “We do hire a good number of new graduate nurses, but we also need to

have a good number of experienced nurses, those with anywhere between 10 and 15 years’ experience.”

Administrative positions, such as human resources, finance and information technology, have grown as

well, though at a slower pace than patient-focused positions, Woolley said.

Every region in the state saw growth over the last 10 years in health care jobs, but the growth was strongest 18

White Plains Hospital reports that healthy communities are an economic engine

BY DAWN FRENCH

H

ospitals have long been considered anchor institutions in communities. We employ many of our neighbors and support local economies, but our overall mission is to care for the people of our communities. You may think of us only when you’re sick, but the missions of hospitals extend beyond our four walls. We champion and support the community’s health by providing access to healthy food, exercise

programs, empowering people through prevention and screenings, and serve as a resource for behavioral health issues. We do it because hospitals understand that keeping our citizens healthy helps create a healthy community — a Westchester that continues to be a great place to work, play and live. But we can’t do it alone.

CREATING PARTNERSHIPS TO PROPEL HEALTHY COMMUNITIES FORWARD

There’s much talk about social determinants of health and the role they

play in overall health outcomes. According to research, 80 percent of the factors that contribute to an individual’s longevity and quality of life may be determined by socioeconomic, environmental or behavioral factors such as inadequate housing, lack of access to healthy, affordable foods, substance addiction, unemployment and limited parks and recreational spaces. Access and quality of health care only impacts 20 percent of your overall health. So, we have to think in a holis-

Healthy communities are associated with lower rates of obesity and smoking, and higher levels of education.

tic way about these issues and how to create public-private partnerships to address them.

HEALTHY COMMUNITIES CREATE HEALTHY BUSINESS ENVIRONMENTS

In 2016, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation issued a brief titled “Why Healthy Communities Matter to Businesses.”

The report supports the link between health and a productive workforce and stated: “...Healthy communities are associated with lower rates of obesity and smoking, and high-

WCBJ

er levels of education. All these factors contribute to a healthy, more productive workforce that misses few days of work and drives lower health care expenditures.”

A healthy workforce is a win-win for everyone by reducing employer and employee costs, increasing productivity and lowering out-of-pocket health care costs.

Job Growth—

in New York City, with a nearly 33 percent increase in health care sector employment.

Long Island was next with 25 percent growth and the Finger Lakes region third with 18.9 percent growth.

The Hudson Valley was fourth with 17.8 percent growth.

Doctors, dentists and nurses made up nearly 40 percent of health care occupations statewide, with doctors and dentists garnering the highest annual average wages at $152,650 in 2017. The average wage for a nurse in the state in 2017 was $79,240.

Kevin Dahill, president and CEO of The Suburban Hospital Alliance of New York State, said one factor driving the increase

in health care hiring is competition in the industry.

“Just look around Westchester and all the new facilities that have opened — urgent care facilities, ambulatory sites. That’s obviously not just in Westchester, it’s throughout the state,” said Dahill, whose organization represents 51 hospitals in New York City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley.

Several of the county’s hospitals have grown and expanded in the last half-decade, including major construction projects at White Plains Hospital, the WMCHealth Network and NYP Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville. Over the same period, the majority of Westchester’s independent hospitals have either partnered or been acquired by larger

Hedge funds and private equity firms are also investing in health care delivery, such as the CityMD urgent care operator, which last year was acquired by a private equity firm.

regional health networks, such as White Plains Hospital to Montefiore, Lawrence Hospital to NewYork-Presbyterian and Phelps and Northern Westchester hospitals to Northwell Health. Dahill pushed back against the term often associated with that trend, “hospital consolidation.”

“Not consolidation, I’ve seen integration,” Dahill said. “You’re not seeing shrinking of facilities or personnel, you’re seeing just the opposite.”

Hedge funds and private equity firms are also investing in health care delivery, Dahill noted, such as the CityMD urgent care operator, which last year was acquired by a private equity firm.

Another factor driving job numbers in the health care field, Dahill said, is technology.

“As technology has advanced in the industry, it has opened the need for new positions,” Dahill said. “The field of telehealth requires not only providers to be available, but those that support those positions — technicians, biomedical people.”

The comptroller’s report cited federal and state labor projections that expect the health care industries to remain among the fastest-growing occupational groups between 2016 and 2026.

Dahill said he could see the growth rate start to plateau a bit over time. But one trend he said would impact the health care job market is turnover. A large part of the current workforce is aging and heading toward retirement, he said, particularly in nursing.

“Those folks will have to be replaced,” Dahill said. “That’s not so much a growth factor as much as an acceleration in hiring.”

The comptroller’s report cautioned against factors that DiNapoli said could hurt the health care industry. Health care facilities statewide have faced financial difficulties, as well as challenges finding qualified employees for open jobs, he said.

DiNapoli also cautioned against any cuts in federal funding for health care initiatives.

“Reductions in federal funding could result in downward pressure on both employment and on wages, with the latter possibility creating increased challenges for health care organizations seeking to attract the workers they need,” DiNapoli wrote in the report. “After years of good economic news in the state’s health care sector, such outcomes would represent a reversal with troubling implications for New Yorkers.”

WPH—

In the last year, we embarked on a quest to engage diverse partners to build a culture of health and created a Healthy Community Initiative. The goal of this initiative is to identify and advance clinical and nonclinical approaches for improving health, preventing disease and reducing health disparities within the community.

This Healthy Community Initiative is bringing together key stakeholders from White Plains, including leaders from the school district, housing authority, Ministers Fellowship Council, White Plains Hospital and others to form a citywide collaborative focused on positively impacting health outcomes in our community. These groups have their own individual missions and goals, but all are coming together to support the idea to build a strong, vibrant community in which to live, learn, work and play.

By approaching issues from the bottom up versus top down, we are discovering the unique needs of our community. By prioritizing our efforts and combining resources we can be more effective in moving programs forward and making an impact.

Each partner plays a role in identifying needs and creating effective and collaborative programs to make an impact. One of the earliest programs developed was a 12-Weeks to Wellness program with a population identified by the Thomas H. Slater Center. The Slater Center created an exercise program to engage a group in weight loss. We partnered to add clinicians to provide health screenings, nutrition education and interactive activities to engage the group in wellness. We’ve also implemented a fresh food pantry pickup for patients with chronic diseases who may not be able to access fresh produce on a regular basis, in partnership with Feeding Westchester.

When White Plains Hospital saw its first patient 125 years ago, our founder, Dr. Ernst Schmid, began the tradition of supporting public health, a responsibility to the community he felt that extended beyond the hospital’s four walls. He advocated for sanitary sewers in White Plains to stop the spread of disease. A visionary, Dr. Schmid created a blueprint for exceptional care that we still follow today.

The bottom line is this: healthy communities are good for the bottom line.

When we can partner together, sharing our resources and expertise to address the social determinants of health, we will have created a blueprint for a healthy community that others will follow in the future to promote the well-being of all of our citizens.

“H

Muscle up for mind as well as body

ealthy body, healthy mind” is a maxim just about everyone has heard. But perhaps it should be “healthy muscles, healthy body, healthy brain.” For more than 2,000 years, humans have exercised to maintain and improve health, but it is only in recent years that hundreds of scientific studies have proven that exercise can help maintain and improve brain function. Various types of exercise from weight training to aerobics to yoga have shown a variety of benefits. Certainly exercise — by helping manage weight, blood sugar, liver and kidney function and cardiovascular well-being — helps greatly to maintain a healthy brain. Moreover, it has been shown that molecular and genetic changes that occur in exercise have direct effects on brain molecules and the generation of new

“An interesting recent study showed that exercise involving muscle strengthening was more beneficial than other forms of exercise such as aerobics in reducing the development and severity of dementia in Alzheimer’s,” neurosurgeon Ezriel Kornel says.

nerve cells as well as the further growth and connections of mature neurons.

Perhaps the most feared common consequence of aging is the onset of senile dementia. We all joke about memory loss and aging, but really it is no laughing matter.

No one wants to lose the ability to reason and recognize the world and people around him. In recent years, medical research has demonstrated that exercise can reduce the incidence and severity of senility, both that which is secondary to cerebrovascular disease and that is due to Alzheimer’s. An interesting recent study showed that exercise involving muscle strengthening was more beneficial than other forms of exercise such as aerobics in reducing the development and severity of dementia in Alzheimer’s. The mechanism of this benefit is still unknown and under intense investigation.

A recently published study from the universities of Milan and Pavia addresses this important issue from the opposite side.

Researchers studied what results from the lack of muscle use. We know that astronauts who do not use their legs as much in space and those individuals with illnesses such as multiple sclerosis can develop cognitive deficits such as memory loss and difficulty with concentration. This suggests that lack of lower extremity usage is detrimental to the brain.

To study this effect researchers performed a well-constructed experiment in which they immobilized the back legs of mice and after a period of time looked at the cells in specific areas of their brains. They found that neuronal stem cells that are needed to form new nerve cells were greatly diminished in these mice. It is likely that this applies to humans as well but we need much more study to confirm the extent of this effect. This does make sense in light of what the other studies mentioned above have shown.

Clearly, there is not a one-to-one correlation between the loss of use of the legs and cognitive deficits. However, perhaps with aging, individuals who have significant difficulty with the use of their legs do not do as well cognitively. This may be another line worthy of investigation.

What is clear from the extensive science thus far is that we should all be seeking a form of exercise that works for us and incorporate it into our daily routines. Whether by vigorous walking, jogging, running, swimming, aerobics, calisthenics, weight training or myriad other forms of exercise, find what fits you, your skill, your interest and your lifestyle and do it. Do it for your brain.

Good Things Happening YPIE SAYS YIPPEE ABOUT GALA Yonkers Partners in Education’s (YPIE) celebrated the impact it has been having on students in the city’s schools during its annual gala held recently at the restaurant X2O in downtown Yonkers. The gala raised more than $600,000 to support students from eight Yonkers high schools who will come to the YPIE College Zone each week to learn and grow.

The YPIE College Zone currently is under construction at 92 Main St. The learning center is designed to serve more than 500 students a week.

YPIE board member Alison Lohrfink Blood was honored during the event. Also honored was the biotechnology company Regeneron. Sam Wallis, YPIE’s chief program officer, presented an award to Hala Mirza, Regeneron’s vice president for corporate communications and citizenship, celebrating the company’s six-year partnership with YPIE. “Regeneron was founded with a deep commitment to STEM education and fostering the next generation of scientific talent, especially among students who are historically underrepresented in the sciences,” said Wallis.

EVENT RAISES $375K FOR GROUNDWORK About 300 guests attended the recent Urban River Party in Yonkers to benefit Groundwork Hudson Valley. The event raised about $375,000 to support the organization’s initiatives.

Honorees included Nanette Bourne, principal and director of Hudson Valley services for Sam Schwartz Consulting; Floyd Myers, chief of business development and partnerships for the National Parks of New York Harbor; Anthony Simari, partner at Holm & O’Hara LLP and a board member at Groundwork Hudson Valley; and Holly Malekian, Groundwork HV’s former director of development.

Two youth program alumni spoke: Erick Rosa and Rossy Veras, who have participated in Groundwork HV’s youth conservation programs, including trips to Yellowstone National Park.

“From transforming public spaces to bringing nature to more city residents, to our nationally recognized youth education and employment programs, nothing Groundwork undertakes is done without the leadership and support of key partners in this room today,” said Brigitte Griswold, executive director of Groundwork Hudson Valley.

LSHV HONORS VOLUNTEERS

Bernard Curry III

CURRY HONORED

BY TIME

From left: Harvey Boneparth, Christopher Oldi, Marcie Kobak, Betsy G. DeSoye, Christopher Schweitzer and Fernanda Gutheil Faleiro.

To mark National Pro Bono Week 2018, which took place Oct. 21 through 27, Legal Services of the Hudson Valley (LSHV), based in White Plains, honored several attorneys who have volunteered their expertise to help people unable to afford legal representation. LSHV is the only provider of free, comprehensive civil (noncriminal) legal services to low-income and disadvantaged individuals and families in the Hudson Valley who cannot

afford an attorney when their basic human needs are at stake.

Among those honored were Deborah A. Scalise of Scalise and Hamilton LLP, Emily P. Kahn of Walsh & Amicucci LLP and Emily Kahn.

The volunteer attorneys of Westchester CLARO (Civil Legal Advice and Resource Office) Program were honored for offering free legal advice to unrepresented Westchester residents being

sued by creditors. They included Harvey Boneparth; Betsy G. DeSoye; Fernanda Gutheil Faleiro; Brian Gallagher; Regina Kelly; Raymond Murphy; John E. Schmeltzer III; LSHV’s supervising attorney for litigation, Marcie Kobak; and LSHV’s Supervising Attorney Christopher Schweitzer.

LSHV Pro Bono Director Christopher Oldi said, “We are honored to partner with these attorneys in this important work.”

Bernard F. Curry III, dealer principal at Curry Acura in Scarsdale, will be a recipient of the 2019 TIME Dealer of the Year award. TIME, the iconic publisher of news and information, now reaches approximately 45 million digital readers each month.

Curry is scheduled to receive the honor at the National Automobile Dealers Association Show taking place in San Francisco in January.

Recipients of the award are among the nation’s most successful auto dealers who also demonstrate a long-standing commitment to community service. Curry was chosen to represent the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association in the national competition – one of only 51 auto dealers nominated from more than 16,000 dealers nationwide.

“Being a business owner gives me the wonderful opportunity to give back to my community through charitable work, to provide good jobs for more than 1,000 people, including 450 here in Westchester County, and to enhance the lives of their families,” Curry said.

A SLICE OF PROMOTION The “Gen Y” advertising and promotion campaign for the city of Yonkers is underway, following a kickoff event held at the restaurant Fortina in the Boyce Thompson Center. Restaurant owner and celebrity chef Christian Petroni, known for his appearances on the Food Network, invited Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano to help create a special pizza, the “Gen Y Pie,” which will be featured on Fortina’s menu.

Ingredients for the pizza include butternut squash, fresh mozzarella, kale, red onion, Aleppo pepper and strips of speck prosciutto in the shape of a Y. Petroni is among the small-business owners and residents of Yonkers who appear in the marketing campaign, which is designed to positioning the city as the region’s hot urban center.

He was recently named co-winner of the 2018 Food Network Star competition, and he won season four of the network’s “Chopped” series and served as a judge on that show and on “Beat Bobby Flay.” In addition to Yonkers, there are Fortina restaurants in Rye; Armonk; Stamford, Connecticut; and Brooklyn.

ENTA OPENS NEW WHITE PLAINS OFFICE

ENT and Allergy Associates LLP (ENTA) recently celebrated its move to new office space in White Plains with a ribbon cutting. The new facility at 222 Bloomingdale Road includes 15,000 square feet of space housing 18 fully equipped exam rooms, two procedure rooms, three audio booths, two hearing aid dispensing rooms, two injection rooms, a testing room and more.

Among those attending the ribbon cutting were state Sen. Andrea Stewart-Cousins, Deputy Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins and representatives of the Westchester County Association.

“Our White Plains office was the cornerstone of ENTA when it was founded two decades ago,” said Robert Glazer, CEO of the organization.

Since its founding in 1998, ENTA has grown to include 42 locations in the tristate area.

It expects to serve one million patients next year.

PHELPS HIRES DEVELOPMENT TEAM Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow has added two new members to its development team.

Jill Sibilia is the new vice president of development and Lucy Hollis is the director of development.

Sibilia spent 15 years with the Girl Scouts of Greater New York, most recently as senior vice president for philanthropy and external relations. Previously, she was a corporate event manager for Marcus Evans and national staff person for the college student association, Lutheran Student Movement-USA. Sibilia earned a bachelor’s degree from The American University in Washington, D.C. Hollis joins Phelps with 10 years of experience in the philanthropic sector and after having been the director of grants management at The Atlantic Philanthropies. Before that, she had been with Radford Surveys + Consulting, a division of AON Hewitt.

Hollis earned her bachelor’s degree at Trinity College in Hartford and received a graduate certificate from New York University’s management and systems master’s program.

FUNDRAISER PRODUCES $400K FOR THE ARC Among the participants, from left: Jessica McKenzie, PepsiCo; Jeffrey Cole, Iona College and New Rochelle School District; Joseph DiCarlo, Westmed; and Anael Alston, New York State Education Department.

Education, business and government leaders were on hand for a forum on workforce diversity held recently at Manhattanville College in Purchase. The forum was presented by Today’s Students Tomorrow’s Teachers (TSTT), a White Plains-based nonprofit that has as its mission the recruiting, mentoring and training of culturally diverse and economically challenged students from

high school through college who then are placed in teaching positions.

Bettye Perkins, president and CEO of TSTT, said, “We often hear from business leaders that they need to improve the pool of well-prepared workers and they need to address this issue now, as it is an increasingly competitive environment. Educators and policy makers have come to understand that this skills gap starts in our schools at a

very early age.”

TSTT has recruited, mentored and trained more than 150 high school students to become caring and committed teachers.

Today, there are about 300 high school students enrolled in TSTT’s eight-year, comprehensive and collaborative program.

TSTT has agreements with 25 colleges and universities to provide financial support to TSTT students pursuing teaching degrees.

$300K TO BENEFIT HUDSON VALLEY HOSPITAL

NewYork-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital’s (NYPHVH) annual Fall Gala raised nearly $300,000 to benefit the hospital’s Digestive Health Center in Cortlandt Manor. More than 350 supporters attended the event, which was held at the Tarrytown House Estate on the Hudson on East Sunnyside Lane in Tarrytown.

In addition to celebrating the addition of the Digestive Health Center to the hospital’s facilities, the evening also focused on the hospital’s growth and its expansion strategy for the recruitment of physicians in key areas, including orthopedic/spine surgery, obstetrics and other service lines.

Founded in 1889 by the Helping Hand Association, the hospital is now a 128-bed facility, which joined NewYork-Presbyterian’s health system in 2015 and has 450 physicians on staff in 62 medical specialties.

Pace University has received the Founder’s Award from Latino U College Access (LUCA) for its partnership and collaboration supporting educational opportunity and career development for first-generation college students in Westchester County.

“I believe in the power of education to transform lives because a good education doesn’t just change a person, it changes a community,” said Pace President Marvin Krislov.

LUCA is a nonprofit whose mission is to increase college enrollment and completion rates among Latino youth who are the first in their families to go to college. The organization helps provide educational access and guidance with college planning, applications and FAFSA completion in partnership with the Ossining, Sleepy Hollow and White Plains school districts.

Since the launch LUCA six years ago, Pace has played a significant role its development, most recently naming the organization as the Pace University Wilson Center Social Enterprise in Residence for two years and hosting the Latino U Scholar class orientation this past summer at the university’s Pleasantville campus.

The Arc Westchester Foundation, which is dedicated to increasing public awareness and raising financial resources to support The Arc Westchester’s programs and services for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities, announced that nearly $400,000 was raised at its Oct. 16 fundraiser. More than 300 supporters attended the event, which took place at the Glen Island Harbour Club in New Rochelle.

The evening featured dishes prepared by some of Westchester County’s finest chefs, accompanied by wine and craft beers. About 30 restaurants and beverage purveyors participated in the event, which was titled “A Matter of Taste.”

In her address to the gathering, The Arc Westchester’s Executive Director/CEO Tibisay (Tibi) Guzmán talked about the organization’s employment services. “The nationwide employment rate for individuals with disabilities is only 33 percent,” she said.

“At The Arc Westchester, we are proud to say that we have achieved an astounding 60-percent employment rate for those individuals who want to work. Over 250 Westchester County businesses employ nearly 300 participants in our Employment and Transition Program.”

The Wong Family, led by Elise and Yen Wong, received the Family Partner Award for their unwavering support for The Arc Westchester.

The evening’s second honoree was Abb Optical Group/Digital Eye Lab Network, which received the Corporate Partner Award for its commitment to giving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities the chance to be contributing members of the workforce.
