he Port Chester village board recently heard presentations from five real estate firms vying to become the village's master developer, creating a lineup of big names in real estate that “has to be the nightmarish envy of every community from Stamford to Manhattan.” The appearance by industry suitors at the village meeting was so described by Sean McLean, executive vice president of development for Renaissance Downtowns. His Long Island-based real estate company responded to the village's request for qualifications, or RFQ, along with partner St. Katherine Group, a real estate development firm founded in the United Kingdom and based in Port Chester. That partnership was the final presenter in a lineup that included real estate developers HB Nitkin Group, Hines and RXR Realty. The Albanese Organization also submitted its qualifications to the village but is expected to present instead at the board's first December meeting. Cushman & Wakefield, the commercial real estate brokerage and services company, also responded to the request with an offer to advise the village through the master developer selection process. "We've got some really good responses," said Eric Zamft, director of planning for Port Chester. "It's going to be a good, tough decision that we have to make, but it shows

Tennis coach takes what life serves in sports career

own a leafy drive in Armonk, hidden from passersby on Business Park Drive, lies a small, brown-shingled hut that looks out of place wedged between two inflatable domes. Inside, the staccato pop of tennis balls betrays the whereabouts of Greg Anderson, director of Armonk International Tennis Academy. It’s a quiet location that suits Greg’s unassuming nature. His low-key profile, steady work ethic and love for the game have been compared with that of his childhood training partner — U.S. Open finalist Kevin Anderson, who is also his brother. Kevin is the 6-foot, 8-inch South African with a powerhouse serve who faced off against Rafael Nadal in his first Grand Slam final this past September. It was a surprising comeback from an injury-plagued year that came on the heels of a career-high ranking of No. 10 in the world. “I see Kevin potentially taking it further,” said Greg, who trained with his brother before the first match of the tournament, then joined the Anderson entourage in the stands. “It was obviously a great two weeks for me with a lot of special memories,” Kevin said of the U.S. Open and fraternal reunion. “It’s always great having him on the court again. Obviously, we’ve spent so much time together, it’s very familiar practicing with him.” The brothers’ busy schedules — Kevin on the tour, Greg directing the academy make those times less frequent. “Nowadays, it just usually happens during New York,” Kevin said. “He gets time off work. It’s always nice. He has a great eye for the sport and he knows me well.” Armonk International Tennis Academy is a high-performance program for junior players in Westchester. So, it’s no wonder that word of Greg’s connection with Kevin spread quickly there. His attendance at the U.S. Open in Queens meant the kids in Armonk got to experience a closeness to the tennis world that Greg and Kevin never had growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa. “It’s tough coming from a country where you don’t have the same sort of resources and you’re a little further from the tennis scene,” Kevin said. That’s why Armonk was a draw for Greg. “There aren’t many areas in the country where it’s this desirable to teach,” he said. “I feel like I’m really blessed with kids that are polite and have goals. Plus, I get to wear tennis clothes for a living.” The Anderson brothers’ story is a lesson in the art of living a successful life in sports.

Whether that means standing in front of a cheering stadium crowd at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows or instructing a new generation of talented players, Greg and Kevin have learned that living the lessons behind the sport is what counts. “There are lots of life lessons to be learned from tennis,” Greg said, citing discipline, overcoming defeat, handling pressure and physical health among them. It’s a lifelong sport that kids will play and benefit from long after college, he believes. “The lessons and morals are what I’m trying to pass on. It’s priceless.” That impetus to coach seems to come naturally to the Andersons. “I’ve always felt (Greg) had a great eye for helping people learn and develop,” Kevin said. “When I can, I definitely enjoy that aspect of sharing some of the stuff I’ve acquired over the years.” Coached by their father, the brothers’ game is stylistically similar. Both were good juniors, often ranked in the top two or three for their respective ages. (Kevin is 18 months older than Greg.) “Definitely having my brother to practice with all the time was a huge benefit for me and for him,” Kevin said. They started attending national tournaments, traveling with each other along the southern coast of Africa on “beautiful, long road trips,” playing finals on adjacent courts. “It was a four-year period of experience we can both draw from,” said Greg.

Eventually, they were recruited to play for colleges in the U.S., Kevin at the University of Illinois and Greg at the University of Kentucky and later at Morehead State University. “A free U.S. education is a massive accomplishment,” Greg said. As collegians their goal was to play tournaments in the summer, then take stock of their choices and possibly give the tour a shot. “The biggest reason I went to college was to continue developing my game,” Kevin said. “My aspiration was always to turn pro.” The decision rested on the success they had during those summers. Players can’t accept prize money in college. Once they do, they’ve turned from amateur to professional. Kevin decided to make that leap and left school after his junior year. “I didn’t do quite as well,” Greg said. “So I decided to stay and finish school.” “I think it was tough for him when he decided that professional tennis wasn’t going to be his destiny,” Kevin said of Greg. “It was all about practicality,” said Greg, who decided to finish college and not follow what he deemed a pipe dream. “My parents taught us to make smart choices and smart decisions.” They also taught him the true meaning of success. “Being the best at what you’re best at was the message,” he said This is an edited version of an article first published in the November issue of WAG magazine, the Business Journal’s sister publication.

Regeneron, Decibel partner on hearing loss therapeutics

Ups and downs have their place ... just not in your health plan.

T:11.5 in

egeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. announced on Nov. 29 a collaboration with Decibel Therapeutics Inc., a Boston company founded in 2015 to discover and develop potential drugs to protect, repair and restore hearing. As part of the collaboration, Regeneron will provide Decibel with access to its proprietary suite of technologies to support Decibel's goal of discovering important medicines for hearing loss and tinnitus. Regeneron will also directly participate in and provide financial support for Decibel's efforts, both through research and development funding payments and an equity investment in Decibel. "Over three decades, Regeneron has established an unparalleled suite of innovative technologies thanks to the sciencefocused approach championed by their longstanding leadership team," said Steven H. Holtzman, president and CEO of Decibel. "As we work to apply these capabilities to the development of hearing therapeutics, what truly distinguishes this collaboration is that Regeneron and Decibel scientists will be working together, shoulder to shoulder, on project teams beginning at the earliest stages of research.” Holtzman added that the partnership should “significantly reduce the time and investment necessary for Decibel to sustainably discover and develop meaningful new medications for hearing loss and tinnitus.” Decibel retains worldwide development and commercialization rights to any products discovered in the collaboration and will pay Regeneron tiered royalties based on net sales. Further financial terms were not disclosed. "Regeneron is committed to following the science as broadly as possible, and we're excited to invest in new discoveries coming not only from our labs but also from young biotechnology companies with whom we believe we can synergize," said Dr. George D. Yancopoulos, president and chief scientific officer of Regeneron. “We see these kinds of creative collaborations as a promising way to extend the impact of our technology and medicines to even more patients in need.” According to the World Health Organization, more than 5 percent of the world's population have disabling hearing loss. There are no medicines available to protect, repair or restore hearing.

Morris Builders says tainted title tanked Target project in Yonkers SEEKS $2.7M IN BREACH OF CONTRACT LAWSUIT BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfariinc.com

orris Builders has been trying to build a Target store for several years at the former Austin Avenue landfill in Yonkers, but its aim was repeatedly deflected by litigation over property rights. So when Target Corp. backed out of the deal in April, Morris blamed its title insurance companies for delays in fixing a defective land title. Morris is demanding more than $2.7 million from Fidelity National Title Insurance, First American Title Insurance and Commonwealth Land Title Insurance companies, according to an amended complaint filed on Nov. 8 in a 2016 federal lawsuit charging breach of contract. The insurance companies responded that it was Morris that missed the mark, for instance, by not cooperating with their efforts to fix the mess. Morris, of Rutherford, New Jersey, has leased the Austin Avenue site since 1985, when it struck a deal with Westchester County, owner of 25 acres, the city of Yonkers, owner of 60 acres, and their industrial development

agencies. The site is across the New York State Thruway from Westchester's Ridge Hill. The agreement originally envisioned an office park, but as the real estate market changed it was amended to allow a shopping center. The developer built stores for Stew Leonard’s, Costco and Home Depot. But since those retailers opened in 1999, nothing else has been built on the site. The Target store was proposed about 16 years ago and a deal was formally signed in 2012. But unbeknownst to Morris, the lawsuit says, the land included a public park that had been improperly conveyed to the county. Yonkers had designated land for Hogan Park in 1955. Nearly three decades later, in 1982, the city sold the parkland to the county. The state Senate and Assembly allowed the city to abandon the park, but the law required the new owner to set aside at least one acre for green space and to immediately develop public amenities. Disposing of parkland for other than park purposes must be authorized by the state Legislature, Morris said, so the property transactions between the city and county and Morris were tainted. The developer notified the insurance companies that it planned to take legal

action to fix the flawed property title, and it asked for compensation for attorney fees and losses. The insurance companies said they would take “curative measures,” the lawsuit states, and they retained a law firm to represent Morris. But the developer chose to use its own law firm, citing a New York court decision that states an insured party is entitled to counsel of its own choosing. Morris sued the county, city and the development agencies. Last year, they settled the dispute. The park issue was put to rest and Morris bought the property. Then Target notified Morris in January that it wanted to terminate its lease. Negotiations continued, the lawsuit states, but by April 12 the deal was off. Target terminated the deal because of the defective title, Morris claims, and because of delays by the insurance companies in fixing the title. The insurance companies responded that the defective title was not the “proximate cause” of losing the Target lease. Morris wants the insurance companies to cover its costs, including $944,411 in legal fees and expenses to fix the title, $1.8 million in rent damages, lost profits and other damages.

Workers’ advocates unite against rampant wage theft BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfariinc.com

dvocate groups are pushing for stronger legislation to combat wage theft, a problem they say is both rampant and growing across Westchester County. “This is a daily occurrence,” said Ann Heekin, executive director of the Don Bosco Community Center in Port Chester. “Anyone working in these low-skill, low-wage sectors are vulnerable because they don’t have the resources to hire an attorney and push back, and the employers know that.” Nancy Fernandez, a workers’ case manager at the Community Resource Center in Mamaroneck, estimated her organization receives three to four calls per week regarding wage issues. They range from complaints of employers failing to compensate workers for overtime or benefits to withholding pay completely. Some employers, Fernandez said, will even resort to degrading workers if they voice their complaints. “They call them names, because they don’t speak the language,” Fernandez said of how some employers treat their non-English-speaking workers. “They act like they don’t know they’re human.” Heekin said many workers will continue to work for an employer, even after payments are postponed multiple times. “It’s not unusual for a day laborer’s wages to be delayed until the completion of a job, which of course, could never be done above ground,” Heekin said. “But because the bad actors in this case, which obviously isn’t everybody, know the worker is desperate and has no choice, the wages are postponed again and again and when payday comes, there is no payday.” To help prevent wage theft, Don Bosco and other worker centers across the county aim to provide a safe environment for workers and potential employers to connect. “We take names, we take addresses, so we know if a worker is leaving with someone, we know who it is and what the agreedupon salary was between the worker and the employer,” she said. “But as many people as we have standing outside every day, there’s still hundreds of others who are just standing on the corners in Port Chester and throughout Westchester County and they’re the most vulnerable, because there’s no oversight.” Those corners attract the employers Heekin calls the “bad actors,” who know they are less likely to be held accountable if they choose to pay workers less or not at all. “The worker has no power. All the power is in the hands of the employer,” she said.

“And that sense of powerlessness is what allows this to happen.” Don Bosco and the Community Resource Center are both members of the Westchester Labor Alliance, a countywide coalition of groups that have partnered to combat wage theft. Other groups in the coalition include Neighbors Link, Catholic Charities Community Services of the Archdiocese of New York, Obreros Unidos and United Community Center of New Rochelle. In the past five years, the alliance has helped to garner nearly $400,000 in recovered stolen wages across a broad range of industry sectors, among them construction, restaurants, beauty salons and barber shops. In September, state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman announced the arrests of Donato Pagnotta and Giovanni Dilullo, owners of J & D Painting Contractors Corp. in Port Chester, for allegedly failing to pay Westchester area workers thousands of dollars in wages. In May, the alliance presented five women who were plaintiffs in a case against Elise’s Food and More in Port Chester with the first $15,000 of a $47,000 restitution. Still, advocates believe the number of wage theft cases across the region is much higher than those reported by employees. “It’s no secret that many men and women who are working at these low wages are perhaps without the proper status to work and so it just becomes this vicious cycle because they’re afraid of retaliation either from the employer or the law,” Heekin said. “They fear they’re going to be deported if they speak up.” To combat that fear, advocates are pushing for county legislation that would establish an effective process for consumers and workers to report potential violations and improper conduct by businesses to the county. The group is also proposing legislation that would make it more difficult for businesses that do not pay their employees or engage in other unscrupulous businessrelated conduct to operate in Westchester. Their efforts took a step forward earlier this month when County Legislator David Gelfarb introduced a bill that would help combat wage theft by strengthening existing licensing requirements for home improvement businesses. However, his recent election loss to Nancy Barr has left the future of that legislation uncertain. “There’s a whole new group of leaders to our county offices, so we have a lot of work to bring this out and introduce it to people who are just coming on,” said Heekin. “But it should be something that’s bipartisan. Regardless of where you stand politically to the left or to the right, everybody believes that if you work, you should be paid appropriately.”

be done from October through December, except in case of an emergency. The landlord may not change the parking facility, Raymours said, add levels or floors or use the first three floors for nonretail purposes. Raymours decided that offices on the first floor would not interfere with customers, and on May 18 it consented to

the arrangement for a rent reduction of $56,000 a year. But the landlord, Raymours claims, “intentionally concealed” other plans for modifying the shopping center. On Oct. 10, scaffolding was erected in front of Raymours’ storefront in its designated parking area. Scaffolding and netting also cover the exterior façade and sidewalk. A 15,124-square-foot enclosure is being built on fourth-floor parking spaces, the lawsuit states, and will block access to a stairway. More than 300 parking spaces will be re-striped, narrowing them to 8.6 feet wide from 9 feet. Danone has been granted rights to 71 “spillover” parking spaces on the furniture store level, and Raymours said it has been told that hundreds of Danone employees will park in spaces that had been reserved for retail customers. Construction and changes to the building are “causing significant disruption,” the lawsuit states, and will cause “untold and incalculable lost revenue and business.” Raymours said it has made several attempts to resolve the dispute but the landlord is unwilling to stop work. The city of White Plains has weighed in, with a building official notifying the court that construction has advanced to the point that scaffolding and a sidewalk shed must stay in place to protect pedestrians and vehicular traffic.

ously worked as a master developer on Long Island with the town of Huntington and on a billion-dollar redevelopment effort in Hempstead, on which it again teamed up with RXR and with developer UrbanAmerica. St. Katherine Group was founded in the U.K. in 2010, where it has focused on student apartment units. In the U.S., the company has built luxury single-family homes and is constructing a 94-unit studio apartment building in New Rochelle. Greenwich real estate firm HB Nitkin Group talked up its roots in Port Chester’s neighboring town to the village board, as well as its work with the city of Hartford over the last decade. In Connecticut’s capital, the firm has utilized a public-private partnership to develop the Front Street District, which includes new restaurants, entertainment, retail and residential space on the city’s Connecticut River waterfront. Hines, a global real estate investment, development and management company based in Houston with a regional office in Manhattan, cited the more than 10 million square feet of property it manages in the New York region. That includes several high-rise buildings in Manhattan’s Hudson Square neighborhood. The firm is collaborating with SL Green Realty to build One Vanderbilt, a $3.3 billion, 58-story office

tower next to Grand Central Terminal. The Albanese Organization in its qualifications statement to the village spotlighted its work partnering with the public sector. The Garden City firm is master developer on a $500 million redevelopment project, Wyandanch Rising, on Long Island. Albanese also partnered with the Battery Park City Authority to construct three mixed-use residential buildings totaling more than 1 million square feet in the Lower Manhattan neighborhood. Port Chester Mayor Richard Falanka said at the meeting the village would work with its planning department to “set a roadmap” for continuing the master developer process. Zamft told the Business Journal that the board could decide on its next step at its final December meeting, possibly selecting a firm or publishing a request for proposals to a short list of firms. The village has budgeted $650,000 this year to study its zoning and prepare to implement a form-based code, which would provide more specific requirements for development than simply declaring allowed uses. The village is already reviewing three proposed mixed-use projects near its train station. They would add hundreds of new apartment units and retail square footage to the blocks surrounding the station.

the potential here." Port Chester advertised its request for qualifications in July following approval from village trustees to seek a master developer. The village said it is looking to move away from an “ad hoc” approach to reviewing potential real estate projects. Instead, it would utilize a more comprehensive plan devised with a “partner who speaks the language of development,” as Zamft previously described the approach. Port Chester’s RFQ focuses on the 120acre radius around its Metro-North train station. It’s there that officials are looking to draw on public and private lands for development that would create a more “cohesive, walkable, transit-oriented” downtown and add life to the village’s Byram River waterfront. The village’s RFQ also offers opportunities for redevelopment of an 8-acre public works property at the village’s southeastern end, called Fox Island, and for a partnership with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The master developer could also aid in the redevelopment of the 15-acre former United Hospital site on Boston Post Road, according to the RFQ. The village

It will occupy 80,000 square feet on the first and fourth floors when it moves its headquarters and 400 employees from Greenburgh next year. It expects to add 150 jobs within five years. Raymours claims that the landlord must notify the company within a reasonable time before doing maintenance or repairs in common areas of the shopping center. The lease does not allow work to

board in March gave Starwood Capital Group approval for a zoning change to build a $450 million mixed-use development there, but the Greenwich company has since informed the village it will try to sell the property. The company chosen as master developer will be called on to lead a community outreach effort and prepare a development plan within one to two years. At the November meeting, the prospective developers took turns pitching their real estate bona fides in the region. Two of the presenting teams highlighted their experience working as master developer in New Rochelle. Long Island real estate developer RXR Realty previously teamed with Renaissance Downtowns to launch RDRXR at New Rochelle LLC, which the city hired as its downtown master developer in 2015.

Experts assess Year One of Trump BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

s President Donald Trump approaches the end of his first year in office, the Business Council of Westchester recently gathered a group of experts to make sense of his impact so far in the region. "Year One of Trump," held at the Reckson Metro Center in White Plains, featured panels on the Republican president's foreign policy, tax and infrastructure plans and the growing political divides in the country. In both tax and infrastructure policy, experts attempted to sort out two still evolving issues in Trump's early presidency.

TAXES

Attorney Glenn Newman, a shareholder at Greenberg Traurig LLP in Manhattan, addressed the GOP’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act tax reform bill being considered in Congress as the Business Journal went to press. Newman previously served as president of the New York City Tax Commission and specializes in tax planning involving state and local taxes. "I can guarantee one thing: The House and the Senate bills as written today are not

going to be the tax reform you see," Newman said, adding that there are differences in the bills that need to reconciled and votes that need to be won. The Senate and House bills differ even in the number of tax brackets, with the House bill cutting the number of brackets to three and the Senate keeping the original seven. But Newman pointed to provisions that are consistent through both bills, such as a near doubling of the standard income deduction, coupled with the elimination or limiting of many individual deductions, such as for state and local taxes and the home interest mortgage deduction. "In order to achieve simplification, they're going to give a larger standard deduction and fewer specific deductions," Newman said. "How people come out on that depends a lot on their particular circumstances." That includes whether persons live in a high tax state and their income level. The House tax bill caps the mortgage interest deduction at $500,000, though the Senate bill keeps it at its current $1 million. Real estate professionals in Westchester County say the House plan could especially hurt the county's real estate market, where the median home sale price is $680,000. That forms a one-two punch with the potential elimination of the deduction for

local and state income taxes. "I would not be surprised to find out that the month of November home sales took a hit because of that," Newman said. "These changes will affect the economics of home ownership, especially in New York." The House tax bill does allow a deduction for state and local property taxes of up to $10,000, while the Senate bill currently eliminates all local deductions. Newman said the tax bills will put extra pressure on state governments, particularly in Albany and other high tax states. "There's going to be a lot of pressure on the state governments to reduce the taxes, because it’s no longer going to be subsidized somewhat by the federal government," he said. The position of state governments could be particularly tough, Newman added, because "they are going to want to make up for any lost services from the federal government...by maintaining or increasing taxes, and yet it’s going to be more of a burden on individuals in the state."

INFRASTRUCTURE

For the first 12 months of Trump's term, infrastructure has taken a back seat to health care and tax reform. The trillion-dollar infrastructure bill Trump promised during his campaign has yet to materialize.

But Veronica Vanterpool, the former executive director of the Tri-State Transportation Campaign advocacy group who serves on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board, said the lack of a bill doesn't mean there's no activity. "For those of us paying attention, there's a lot going on" regarding infrastructure policy, she said. She said it’s important to pay particular attention to Trump's budget priorities. Positives in Trump's budget proposal, according to Vanterpool, include $200 billion in direct federal spending for infrastructure projects and expansion of the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, which provides federal loans for infrastructure projects. New York state used a $1.6 billion TIFIA loan to help finance the Gov. Mario Cuomo Bridge project. On the negative side, she said, the proposal cuts the federal Department of Transportation overall budget by 12 percent, eliminates federal support for Amtrak and eliminates Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grants, a program from President Barack Obama's stimulus package that supports local infrastructure projects. Vanterpool also noted the proposed GOP tax bills eliminate credits for the purchase of » » TRUMP, page 8

Ramapo agrees with SEC to clean up bond finances

Trump — » » From page 7

electric cars and a $20 monthly deduction for people who commute to work by bike. Most importantly, the House plan eliminates private activity bonds, which provide taxexempt financing to private development projects. The loss of the bonds could impact Trump's infrastructure plan, given his emphasis on public-private partnerships, she said. "That is a really big deal, and it will be unclear how an infrastructure plan would move forward in the absence of these PABs, because public-private partnerships rely very heavily on tax-exempt private activity bonds," Vanterpool said. Vanterpool closed by noting the importance of the federal government's decisions on local transit. The MTA, she said, relies on the federal government for 23 percent of its capital program. "Whether or not you use transit, whether or not you drive, what happens in transportation affects you," she said. And what happens with one mode of transit affects all others. "Our road infrastructure cannot absorb what's happening with our transit infrastructure, our bridge infrastructure cannot absorb a collapse in our transit infrastructure, there's no room for anyone to go anywhere,” said Vanterpool. “So what's happening at the federal level has direct implications."

he town of Ramapo and its local development corporation have consented to an SEC agreement to clean up how they issue municipal bonds. Though they did not explicitly admit wrongdoing, by agreeing not to violate U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission laws they tacitly acknowledged they had done so. The SEC civil case coincides with federal criminal charges filed last year against town officials for concealing financial problems and lying to bond investors. Christopher St. Lawrence, former town supervisor, was found guilty after a fourweek spring trial of conspiracy, securities fraud and wire fraud. Nachman Aaron Troodler, a former town attorney, pleaded guilty to fraud. They fabricated Ramapo’s financial reports to help sell municipal bonds, according to court documents, and to help pay for Provident Bank Park, a minor league baseball stadium. Taxpayers had rejected a proposal to finance the stadium in 2010, and St.

Lawrence pledged that it would be built with private funds. But in 2011 the development corporation issued a $25 million bond for construction, and the town ended up paying more than half of the $58 million project. The stadium is now known as Palisades Credit Union Park and is the home of the Rockland Boulders. For six years, Ramapo reported general fund balances ranging from $1.4 million to $4.1 million. But the fund was actually running deficits of $249,000 to $13.9 million. General fund balances were distorted with phony receivables, concealed liabilities and improper fund transfers. St. Lawrence, for instance, claimed that Ramapo was going to get $3.1 million in Federal Emergency Management Agency reimbursements for expenses from Hurricane Irene, even though no claims had been submitted. The town had guaranteed bond payments, so fake fund balances made the bonds appear less risky. Investors also were told that revenues from the stadium and a housing project would cover the bonds’ principal and interest. The SEC said St. Lawrence lied to inves-

tors to conceal the town’s deteriorating finances and to disguise the inability of the development corporation to make payments from its own money. Federal Judge Cathy Seibel issued a judgment on Nov. 17 that requires Ramapo and its development agency to hire a courtapproved independent consultant to review financial procedures and controls. The consultant may employ accountants, attorneys, forensic experts or business advisers to assist with the review. The consultant will recommend improvements and Ramapo must adopt changes. The town and its agency must also hire an independent auditing firm to examine financial statements for 2017 through 2019. If they decide to issue new bonds in the next three years, they must hire an independent counsel who will investigate the accuracy and completeness of disclosure documents. In three years, they must certify that they have complied with all requirements of the judgment. The criminal sentencing hearing for St. Lawrence of Wesley Hills, began on Nov. 27 and was scheduled to continue Dec. 1. Troodler of Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania, is scheduled to be sentenced on Dec. 12.

Retaliation claims: The cruelest employment litigation

hat’s even worse than being the victim of employment discrimination? Speaking up about it and getting fired. For an employer, what’s even worse than getting falsely accused of employment discrimination? Winning that case but losing one for retaliating against that false accuser. Pretty much all the statutes that protect employees from discrimination on the basis of a protected characteristic — such as race, sex, national origin, religion, age and disability — also prohibit retaliating against someone for asserting their rights under those statutes. It is almost a given that a good discrimination claim asserted by a current employee will generate an at least feasible retaliation claim. It is remarkably common for a weak discrimination case to engender a strong retaliation case. The reason is pretty self-evident. Accusing someone — and your corporate employer is a group of “someones” — of behaving in a racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, ageist or otherwise bigoted way is not exactly a love letter. It is insulting. Many people violating these laws don’t really think they are doing so. And many

people accused of violating these laws are not really doing so. Either way, one common, normal human reaction to an insult is to lash out or at least to feel some hostility to the accuser and insulter. To encourage employees to actually avail themselves of the laws’ protections, legislators built in the anti-retaliation protection. Over the past decade or so, more and more employment disputes have included or have consisted solely of retaliation claims. The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission counts 42,018 such claims in 2016 versus 22,555 in 2006. Just what is unlawful retaliation? It can be a pretty broad array of activities. The legal definition boils down to any action that would cause a reasonable person to be discouraged from asserting the rights protected under the statute in question. This is a different standard from what applies in the underlying discrimination matter. To prove discrimination, an employee has to show an adverse employment action motivated by the employee’s protected characteristic. An adverse employment action can be a failure to hire, a firing, a demotion, a pay cut, a refusal to promote, a lost bonus or

other opportunity, shift changes. All these things can also be unlawful retaliation, but so can a good deal more. Some cases have found retaliation in an action against a complaining employee’s relatives or associates — for example, firing the spouse or fiancé of the complainer, changing an employee’s shift deliberately to conflict with known child care obligations, increased and targeted enforcement of previously ignored rules or reclassification of a job to a lower pay grade. Employee action that cannot be retaliated against is not confined to filing formal complaints of discrimination with government agencies or notifying human resources or other management representatives within a company. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s website advises that protected activity includes: • filing or being a witness in an Equal Employment Opportunity charge, complaint, investigation or lawsuit; • communicating with a supervisor or manager about employment discrimination, including harassment; • answering questions during an employer investigation of alleged harassment;

• refusing to follow orders that would result in discrimination; • resisting sexual advances, or intervening to protect others; • requesting accommodation for a disability or for a religious practice; and • asking managers or co-workers about salary information to uncover potentially discriminatory wages. So, an employee willing to stick out his or her neck to get an employer to comply with employment law should feel comforted that if the employer’s reaction is retaliatory, the law provides protection. On the other hand, employers should prepare managers to react with restraint and care toward any employee expressing concern about protected characteristics. Even a way off-base allegation of discrimination is protected by the anti-retaliation provisions. Attorney Margaret M. Sheahan is a partner at Mitchell and Sheahan P.C. in Stratford. She provides legal advice and representation to both private and public-sector employers and to individuals in their workforce relationships.

SPECIAL REPORT

YEAR END REVIEW HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION

Cost for employer health plans stable, still out of reach for many BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

s premium increases in the health insurance exchanges dominate the political conversation, a report by the Kaiser Family Foundation found costs for employer-sponsored plans to be rising at a lower, relatively stable rate for the past five years. However, the overall cost is substantial enough that half of all small firms did not offer health benefits to employees this year. Average annual family payments for employer-sponsored health plans increased 3 percent to $18,764 this year, according to Kaiser’s annual Employer Health Benefits Survey that was released in September. The yearly poll of employers is done in partnership with the Health Research & Educational Trust, the research affiliate of the American Hospital Association. The survey was conducted between January and June and included just under 4,000 randomly selected firms with three or more employees. The average premium for employersponsored single coverage increased 4 percent to $6,690. The findings mark the sixth straight year that premiums for employer-provided policies have increased by less than 5 percent. Since 2012, average family payments have increased 19 percent, according to the survey. That’s far slower than the increases between 2007 and 2012, 30 percent and 2002 and 2007, 51 percent. Kaiser Family Foundation President and CEO Drew Altman said in a statement that premium increases for employersponsored care are “far less than the 20 percent average in the Affordable Care Act marketplaces. While the marketplaces seem to get all the attention, the much larger employer market where more than 150 million people get their coverage is very stable.” In a webcast press conference following the report’s release, Altman called the slowed growth in premium costs for employer-sponsored plans “health care’s

greatest mystery,” with no clear underlying cause. Still, premiums grew at a faster rate over the past five years than worker earnings and overall inflation. Altman noted that separate Kaiser data found 30 percent of people surveyed expressed concern about paying medical bills. “If this is the new normal, it’s not a normal people are happy with,” he said. In New York, 50 percent of residents receive insurance through an employ-

er, according to 2016 numbers kept by Kaiser, compared with 49 percent nationally. Medicaid, the next largest source of insurance for New Yorkers, covers about a quarter of the state’s residents. While employers still cover the majority of premium costs, the share an employee contributes has increased over the past five years, according to the study. Workers on average contribute $5,714 annually toward health care premiums for family coverage, which is up 32 per-

cent from average 2012 employee contributions. The average annual deductible for single coverage is $1,505 in 2017, just slightly up from a year earlier. Altman described increasing out-ofpocket costs, such as higher deductibles, as a “fallback cost containment strategy” for employers in recent years. “We should watch whether growth in deductibles is reaching some natural limit or we’re just seeing a one-year pause,” he said. The report did not paint a rosy picture for health coverage at small firms. Workers in small firms are less likely to be offered health benefits and likely to pay more for coverage they are offered. The survey found just half of firms with fewer than 50 workers offered health plans in 2017, down from 59 percent in 2012. The Affordable Care Act requires all companies with 50 or more full-time employees to offer health insurance or face a tax penalty. The Kaiser survey found that 99 percent of firms with 200 or more employees offered health benefits. Among small firms that did not offer health benefits, 44 percent said the decision is driven by high cost, while 17 percent said their firms are too small. The survey did find that 16 percent of firms not offering health coverage offered workers money to buy a plan of their own. But only 2 percent of small firms not offering coverage said they chose not to because they believed employees would get a better deal on the individual exchange. Small firms tend to pay lower wages, Altman said, adding that “while the rate of increase may have slowed down, the number, the cost, is just high. So it’s a struggle for them.” Workers in small firms contribute on average $1,550 more annually for family health care premiums than those at large firms. Deductibles tend to be higher as well. Workers covered in preferred provider organization plans at small firms, for example, face an average family deductible of $3,660, almost double the $1,899 average deductible for the same plans at large firms.

The College of New Rochelle makes strides following financial crisis BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfariinc.com

t’s been more than a year since The College of New Rochelle announced that it was in the midst of a major financial crisis that threatened to close the doors of the century-old institution. And while there are a number of challenges ahead, school officials remain optimistic about the future. “I cannot overstate how much so many have done in so little time to literally save this school,” interim President Dorothy A. Escribano said in a statement on the school’s website. In October 2016, college trustees announced that a probe into the school’s finances had found $20 million in unpaid

payroll taxes spanning eight quarters since 2014 and an additional $11.2 million in debts and liabilities. “The scope and depth of the problems left even the most optimistic among us wondering if our 113-year-old school could find a way to survive,” Escribano said in a statement. Following that discovery, the college appointed a special committee to oversee an investigation. The school named a chief restructuring officer from the New York City accounting firm Grassi and Associates to manage the college’s finances. Trustees also hired a forensic accountant, PKF O’Connor Davies, and the law firm Pepper Hamilton LLP to conduct the investigation. College President Judith Huntington stepped down amid the investigation last

fall and trustees named Escribano, the provost and senior vice president for academic affairs, as interim president. About 70 employees have been laid off since November 2016, including 10 tenured faculty, the school said, which it deemed necessary in order for the college to continue. However, those layoffs led to a pair of lawsuits filed earlier this fall. Fourteen faculty members, along with the college senate and council of faculty, filed a lawsuit in October, alleging breach of contract after the college failed to file a declaration of financial exigency. Financial exigency recognizes an imminent financial crisis that threatens the survival of the institution as a whole that cannot be alleviated by less drastic means.

the board of trustees as defendants along with the college, states that by neglecting to declare financial exigency prior to terminating the faculty, the school violated its own handbook. The faculty members, who were laid off in June, are seeking damages, including loss of salary, benefits and damage to their professional reputations, along with legal fees. “The board has stated clearly and consistently that it regrets the need to lay off even one person, but we did what was necessary for the viability of the college and the continued quality education of our students,” Gwen Adolph, chair of the college’s board of trustees, said in a statement. “We are disappointed about the lawsuit and the resources that will be required to defend it, but we are not discouraged.” A second lawsuit alleging breach of contract involving former employee Veronie Lawrence, who worked for the college as a campus director for three years and was let go during the second round of layoffs, was filed in Westchester County Court earlier this month. Though the college declined to comment further on any pending litigation, officials said they do not expect any additional layoffs at this time. Other steps the school has taken since the discovery of the financial problems included the auctioning of five college-owned, single-family homes and a restructuring of its finance department. The college also negotiated tentative settlements with the Internal Revenue Service and the State Department of Taxation and Finance on the repayment of unpaid payroll taxes. A national search for a permanent replacement for Escribano is underway and the school aims to have the position filled in the coming year. Officials believe that the key to the college’s recovery lies in two key factors: successful enrollment numbers and fundraising efforts, both areas they feel optimistic about. Enrollment remains strong at 3,200 students, the school said in a statement, and a recent round of fundraising proved largely successful thanks to an anonymous $5 million donation. “While more hard work remains to be done, we are very hopeful that the steps that we have taken have us on the road to long-term stability,” Escribano said in a statement. Founded by the Ursuline Sisters in 1904, The College of New Rochelle includes four schools: the School of Arts & Sciences, the School of Nursing and Health Care Professions, the Graduate School and the School of New Resources for adult learners. In addition to its main campus in New Rochelle, it operates five satellite campuses in the New York City boroughs. The former women’s college became fully coeducational in 2015.

BURKE LAUNCHES OUTPATIENT PRACTICE

Burke Rehabilitation Hospital now offers a variety of outpatient services in White Plains. The new outpatient physician practice on the hospital’s campus at 785 Mamaroneck Ave. will allow patients to schedule appointments with doctors for a variety of medical conditions requiring physical rehabilitation in an outpatient setting. “Burke is responding to the growing need for outpatient services by offering patients comprehensive medical evaluations and treatment with the same level of patientcentered care that Burke has been providing for over a century,” said Jeffrey Menkes,

Burke’s president and CEO. Physicians who are part of the new outpatient practice will include those who treat and manage complications related to stroke, spinal cord and brain injury, cardiac and pulmonary disease, orthopedic surgery, chronic pain, dementia and other conditions. “Burke’s renowned outpatient physicians can work in coordination with Burke’s inpatient and outpatient treatment teams or a patient’s current physician to develop an individualized treatment plan to optimize recovery in the shortest time period possible,” Menkes said. Founded in 1915, Burke Rehabilitation Hospital became part of the Montefiore Health System in 2016.

LLS ADDS $46M IN CANCER RESEARCH GRANTS

health care organization has invested more than $1 billion in cancer research in its nearly 70-year history. Recipients of the new funding include Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, where Dr. Eric Smith received a Special Fellow Award, granted to help scientists earlier in their careers, to optimize T-cell immunotherapy for patients with multiple myeloma. Among 87 new research projects, LLS will fund 17 immunotherapy projects and 23 grants for research in precision medicine, a targeted approach “to finding the right drug for the right patient at the right time,” LLS officials said. Projects will include novel therapies to combat myeloma, which remains an incurable disease, and acute myeloid leukemia or AML, for which four new therapies were approved in recent months, the first in 40 years, according to LLS officials. The Rye Brook organization also awarded 36 grants totaling $10.3 million in its career development program to foster the early careers of the next generation of scientists. Its active research portfolio has grown to 254 grants, more investment in blood cancer research than any nonprofit or government agency outside of the National Institutes of Health, according to Leukemia & Lymphoma Society officials. “There is never a good time to get cancer, but it’s a phenomenal time to be fighting it,” said Louis J. DeGennaro, LLS president and CEO. “Already in 2017, the FDA has approved 13 new blood cancer treatments or new indications and LLS has supported virtually all of them. Our long-term vision and investment is paying off in our impact for patients.” LLS also invests approximately $10 million annually in its venture philanthropy initiative, TAP or therapy acceleration program, through which the organization partners with biotechnology companies to speed development of novel therapies through clinical trials. Two of those partnerships this year resulted in U.S. Food and Drug Administration approvals for a groundbreaking chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell immunotherapy approach for patients with relapsed large B-cell lymphoma — in which the patient’s own immune cells are re-engineered to find and kill cancer cells - and for a novel combination therapy for AML patients. Over the past two decades, LLS has invested $40 million in CAR T-cell therapy at multiple institutions. It is committed to funding $34 million in CAR T-cell and other immunotherapies. DeGennaro noted that 1.3 million people in the U.S. live with a blood cancer. “We are seeing extraordinary progress in blood cancer research but with one third of blood cancer patients still not surviving five years past their diagnoses, we clearly have more work to do,” he said. — Ryan Deffenbaugh, Aleesia Forni, John Golden

Creating a culture of quality in nursing care

urke Rehabilitation Hospital has been a cornerstone in the White Plains community for more than a century. Those who know Burke know of the exceptional level of care patients receive in both the inpatient and outpatient programs. The successful outcomes are achieved because of the quality of the Burke staff and the team approach to post-acute rehabilitation. A patient’s recovery process involves many different levels of staff, including physicians, nurses, therapists and administrators. Nurses are an integral piece of the rehabilitation process. The unique qualities of the Burke nursing staff are their dedication, compassion and ongoing commitment to patient safety and outcomes. Burke nurses continually strive to deliver the best possible care while always maintaining Burke’s goal of getting our patients back to the life they love as quickly as possible. Burke was the recipient of the 2017 Press Ganey National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators Award for Outstanding Nursing Quality. This is the second award of this magnitude that the Burke nursing department has received during the past six years. Burke won this award because all of our nurses have an unwavering commitment to achiev-

ing positive patient outcomes. The award is given based on 17 qualitynursing measures, which include patientcentered outcomes as well as nursing-specific indicators. Among the criteria are fall rate, when a patient unexpectedly falls while in the hospital; pressure injury rate, formerly known as bedsores, the prevalence of areas of damaged skin and the underlying tissue caused by immobility in a bed or chair; and catheter-associated urinary tract infection, to name a few. Examples of nursing-specific areas include nursing satisfaction, nursing advanced education and certifications. In order to achieve such positive outcomes, the staff must be vigilant in evaluating their patients and implementing appropriate interventions. Burke nurses are open to learning about the latest and best innovations in patient care. They are devoted to their patients and are able to blend their advanced education in rehabilitation nursing with caring and kindness. As the chief nursing officer at Burke, it is my belief that in order to be successful we need to provide continual support and education to the staff. In addition, we have to continue to mentor our staff and offer opportunities for them to grow professionally. We groom our nurses to gain as many

skills as they can, to mentor others and to expand their careers. We offer ongoing CPR, CPI (crisis prevention) and other education classes so that our staff can continue to renew or grow their expertise. For the past several years, Burke has been a proponent of education and promotion of specialty rehabilitation certification for nurses, such as the Certified Rehabilitation Registered Nurse (CRRN). As a leader in the rehabilitation field, Burke offers numerous opportunities for nurses to learn more and even offers staff CRRN review classes. This course assists in preparing newer nurses to become certified rehabilitation nurses. We encourage and support all of our nurses who work toward their CRRN, as it both ensures Burke as an employer that our staff is specially trained, as well as boosts the confidence our patients have in the care they receive. We appreciate that our nurses take pride in their professional value and achievements and choose to obtain this highly regarded certification. According to the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses, nurses with the CRRN certification demonstrate to all involved — from employers to patients and the public—that they are committed to patient-centered excellence, particularly in

cases of people with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses. “Certification is an investment that can reap great rewards,” according to the association. “These include increased professional credibility, recognition of your expertise, greater impact as a job candidate and a heightened sense of personal achievement.” Burke patients benefit from a knowledgeable, well — trained staff of specially certified nurses. With the common goal to get our patients to the highest level of independence and back to the life they love as quickly as possible, without compromise on quality of care, our nurses continue to be a reason that Burke’s rehabilitative care is world-renowned. Burke and its entire staff value and understand the importance of the quality of care one receives after a life-changing injury or illness and we will continue to provide that patient-centered, excellent care from the day the patient is admitted. Burke will remain a leader in post-acute rehabilitation care well into the future. Registered nurse Marie Spencer is vice president for nursing and chief nursing officer at Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains. She can be reached at MSpencer@burke.org or 914-597-2385.

REASONS TO ATTEND A FREE MEDICARE SEMINAR

ctober 15 through December 7 is the Annual Enrollment Period (AEP) when Medicare beneficiaries can decide whether to remain in their current Medicare Advantage Plan, choose another plan or return to Original Medicare. Attending a free Medicare educational seminar hosted by licensed Medicare agents, can give you information about eligibility and enrollment and help you understand covered benefits and services available to support your health care coverage. There’s no cost to attend a seminar and no obligation to enroll. These are a few important items to keep in mind, so you can get the most out of attending a Medicare seminar and learn about different health plan options to help you make the right decision about your Medicare coverage.

• ORIGINAL MEDICARE VS. MEDICARE ADVANTAGE PLANS. What’s the difference? What are the pros and cons? You should

have all your questions answered and know all your options before making a decision.

• MEDICARE AND OR MEDICAID ELIGIBILITY. Some plans offer options for those with varying levels of Medicare and those with Medicare and Medicaid. Talk to advisors at the seminar about your levels of Medicare and or Medicaid and find out if there are plans options best suited for your health and personal care needs.

• ENROLLMENT PERIODS AND LATE PENALTIES. The enrollment period for Medicare is up to three months prior to turning 65 and 3 months after turning 65, but there are a few special enrollment opportunities that you could qualify for. You should be aware of late enrollment penalties and when you could be eligible to enroll in a Medicare plan. • PROVIDER NETWORK: Health plans are continually expanding and/or modifying their provider networks. Find out if your primary care physician or specialists are in the plan’s network. If they are not, ask

If you , olled Rock ‘n R dy for ea you’re r ew York. N AgeWell

about making a request for the plan to reach out to your physicians to invite them to participate in the network. • HEALTH AND WELLNESS BENEFITS: Many Medicare Advantage plans offer various health and wellness benefits over and above what is provided by Original Medicare. These may include dental, vision, hearing, transportation, over the counter (OTC) drugs and products, alternative medicine and fitness programs. A Medicare seminar is the place to find out what benefits the plan covers and you can access these benefits. • CARE NAVIGATOR OR CARE MANAGER: Some plans give you access to a Care Navigator or Care Manager. These professionals are assigned to assist you with accessing providers and health services, supporting your medication management, setting up a care plan based on your clinical and functional requirements and ensuring that you receive routine screenings and preventative services. Find out if these services are available to you and how it works.

• DRUGS IN FORMULARY: Be aware of the plan’s formulary and if the drugs your physician is prescribing is included. Ask the plan about their process for you to request consideration that your drugs be included.

MAKE-A-WISH RECEIVES $28K DONATION There was a presentation ceremony recently at the headquarters of Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley, a former carriage house at 832 S. Broadway in Tarrytown that has been converted into The Wish House. The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation, a division of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors, presented Make-A-Wish with a check in the amount of $28,000 representing the proceeds of its Black & White Masquerade Ball held at the Falkirk Estate and Country Club in Central Valley. During the past 20 years, HGAR has raised more than $315,000 for the group. “This year’s event marked a milestone of supporting this very special organization,” said Richard Haggerty, HGAR’s CEO. “We are delighted to have helped make a huge difference in the lives of so many children and families who live in this region.”

Yonkers Raceway has named Robert “Cammie” Haughton to the newly created position of director of racing. Haughton had been serving as a consultant to the raceway. He is a former presiding judge at both the Meadowlands and Yonkers racetracks. He also was assistant race secretary at Saratoga Raceway and had a career as a trainer-driver. He is the son of Harness Hall of Fame member Billy Haughton. Bob Galterio, COO of Yonkers Raceway, praised Haughton’s experience. Haughton said, “I definitely believe Yonkers’ product is as good as any in the sport, and all of us are committed to getting the racing fans to take notice.” Haughton’s father was one of the top drivers and trainers in harness racing. He died in 1986 as a result of severe injuries suffered when he was thrown from his sulky during a race.

GRANT TO RETIRE FROM MUSEUM

The Hudson Highlands Nature Museum board of trustees has announced the retirement of Executive Director Jacqueline Grant. She has been on the museum’s staff for 17 years. The museum has an outdoor discovery center and a wildlife education center in Cornwall-on-Hudson. Grant led the development of four educational trails on the 177-acre Outdoor Discovery Center property and the opening of an accessible visitor’s center. She led the expansion of the Young Naturalist Preschool with the addition of new classroom space and was instrumental in developing Grasshopper Grove, the Hudson Valley’s first natural play area. Susan Christensen, the board chair, credits Grant for the museum’s expansion “from a neighborhood resource to being a regional destination, with a peerless naturebased preschool, a strong management team, and a fabulous cohort of nature educators.”

ENEA CO-CHAIRS FUNDRAISER WITH CARDINAL A Somers attorney, Anthony J. Enea of the law firm Enea, Scanlan & Sirignano, was co-chair with Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, of the 2017 ArchCare Gala. The event raised $1.5 million to benefit ArchCare, the continuing care community of the archdiocese. ArchCare provides health care to thousands of people of all faiths through its community-based and residential care programs The black-tie gala was held at Gotham Hall in New York City. About 500 people attended. The funds raised will be used to care for those in need in Westchester and other parts of the Hudson Valley, Long Island and New York City. ArchCare president and CEO Scott LaRue said that the funds raised will support a variety of programs focused on closing gaps in care that other institutions are often unable or unwilling to address. Enea’s law firm has offices in White Plains and Somers. The practice concentrates on elder law, Medicaid planning, wills and trusts and related areas.

Employees of CareMount Medical, which operates more than 40 offices in the Hudson Valley, pitched in to gather supplies to help those in Puerto Rico still suffering in the wake of Hurricane Maria. Many CareMount employees have personal connections with the island. The employees put together enough supplies to fill a 24-foot box truck. CareMount’s patients were not solicited. “People outside of Puerto Rico would have a hard time understanding how devastating this has been. The uncertainty is overwhelming,” said Sandra Santiago, a radiologist with relatives on the island. Physical therapist Martha Coccaro came up with two carloads of supplies. “As a new grandma, and thinking of a baby not having a clean diaper or food to eat, I felt compelled to help.” Among the items collected by the CareMount employees were baby food and formula, batteries, diapers, soap, toothpaste, deodorant and feminine hygiene products. Michael Altamura, a CareMount urologist, facilitated getting the supplies to the New York City Fire Department, which handled the actual shipment of the goods to Puerto Rico.

KITTLESON JOINS MEDICAL COLLEGE

ELECTRIC GROUP HONORS UNION PRESIDENT The New York Affordable Reliable Electricity Alliance (New York AREA) is an organization of business, labor and community groups working to help ensure that New York has an adequate and reliable supply of safe, low-cost and clean electricity. At its annual luncheon on Nov. 15 at the Abigail Kirsch at Tappan Hill Mansion in Tarrytown, AFL-CIO Westchester-Putnam County Central Labor Body President Thomas Carey was named recipient of the Chairman’s Award. Carey was out of New York on union business, so the award was accepted by his daughter Kansas. In addition to being president of the Central Labor Body based in White Plains, Carey serves as a business agent of Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 21. “As a third-generation employee of Indian Point, Tom has been an outspoken advocate of the plant and of the lower Hudson’s energy needs,” said New York AREA Chairman Arthur “Jerry” Kremer. Also honored at the luncheon was Al Samuels, president and CEO of the Rockland Business Association. New York state Senate Majority Leader John J. Flanagan was the keynote speaker. He told the group he was shocked when he heard about the plan to close Indian Point and said action is needed to replace the 2,000 megawatts of power that will be lost.

The school offers a tuition-free alternative for boys in the fifth through eighth grades from underserved families in Newburgh. It strives to break through the cycle of poverty through education. The Rev. Mark Connell, the school’s executive director, said, “This grant will allow one of our students to begin or continue their education here at San Miguel Academy, which will put them on a path for future success.” “At Key, we champion mentoring and youth academic programs in our local communities,” said Joe Markey, KeyBank Hudson Valley and Metro New York market president.

Transitioning ownership of your business will undoubtedly be one of the most significant events of your life. And one you may not be prepared to even think about right now. However, with careful planning at each stage, you can expect to be ready for what’s ahead – and confident that you’ll preserve everything you’ve worked so hard to build. Growing your business. Your banker and insurance specialist will help determine which deposit, lending, cash management, and insurance solutions will best fuel the growth of your business. You’ll also want to ensure your will and other estate planning documents are in order, and that you’re taking advantage of tax-minimization strategies. Transitioning business capital to personal capital. As your business evolves, you may consider selling or transitioning to your son or daughter, or someone outside the family. We can help you explore exit strategies, secure the right buyer, and value your business. We’ll also help you determine how and where to invest your wealth, and how to manage your liquidity and cash flow needs.

Managing and transferring personal wealth. This is when all your hard work pays off. You’ll begin to implement trust and planning strategies to transfer wealth to the next generation. You may also have the freedom to donate resources to those organizations you find meaningful.
