Peekskill Brewery opens pop-up in Jefferson Valley Mall

W

eary holiday shoppers at the Jefferson Valley Mall are in for a refreshing surprise as they take the escalator to the second floor near the mall’s food court this December.

Mixed in-between the mall’s food court standbys is a brand new holiday pop-up from Peekskill Brewery, where beer

lovers can pick up cans and merchandise, or just sip a freshpoured draft beer inside the mall food court.

“People are amazed and can’t believe they can get a beer while shopping,” Peekskill Brewery’s Morgan Berardi said with a laugh. “We like to say it makes the holiday shopping a little more painless.”

Berardi is a partner in the brewery, along with her brother Keith and sister-inlaw Kara. She took a quick

break from manning the popup to talk with the Business Journal as Christmas tunes played in the background.

The pop-up offers three of the brewery’s beers on draft, plus a cider from Newburgh’s Graft Cider.

You can drink — so long as you stay within the food court.

Grab and go options include beer in cans, brewery-branded stickers, T-shirts, coozies, glasses and growlers. » BREWERY

Former White Plains Mayor Alfred Del Vecchio dies at age 95

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

lfred Del Vecchio, who served as mayor of White Plains for 18 years from 1976 through 1993 and is credited with saving the city from decay through a massive urban renewal program, died Dec. 5 at the age of 95.

He had been alert and in good spirits recently, according to a family member.

The transformation of downtown White Plains into the business and retail center it is today started when Del Vecchio and his city planners attracted the Galleria shopping mall to downtown during urban renewal. There was intense controversy over tearing down the old Westchester County Courthouse to make way for the mall and its adjacent parking garage, which the city built as an incentive for the developer. Del Vecchio

subsequently was instrumental in bringing the Robert Martin Co. into White Plains to develop the White Plains Financial Center and other projects. He also brought developer Luca Cappelli and others into the city.

“The Galleria was the catalyst for everything which followed,” former White Plains Corporation Counsel Paul Bergins told the Business Journal. “Al was intense, tremendously passionate about the city and actively involved in negotiations for various projects during his tenure.”

A centerpiece of redevelopment under Del Vecchio was reconstruction of the White Plains Metro-North train station, which included replacing the railroad bridge that crossed over both Hamilton Avenue and Main Street, two major arteries leading into town.

Del Vecchio was especially proud of the engineering feat in which the bridge was replaced without hav-

ing to shut down either of those roads.

Del Vecchio always had respect for the neighborhoods of White Plains, requiring developers who proposed projects to first meet with neighborhood associations and address concerns of residents. In one instance, when two massive high-rise apartment towers were proposed for Lake Street, Del Vecchio and his staff members met frequently with concerned neighbors,

one meeting lasting until 3 a.m., and ultimately rejecting the development proposal.

When construction of The Westchester mall was proposed, Del Vecchio, a Republican, became a strong proponent of the project that was opposed by Democratic leaders in the city. However, The Westchester ultimately was approved with bipartisan support.

Del Vecchio was an engineer and often was seen in city hall studying blue-

prints and technical material regarding infrastructure and building designs. He had been chairman of the department of engineering at Manhattan College.

Del Vecchio was promoting affordable housing before it became fashionable and used federal Community Development money to establish programs that helped rehabilitate hundreds of single-family and multifamily houses. Under his administration, 450 apartments in the Winbrook Housing project were rehabilitated with federal funds.

As White Plains became an office center with an estimated 250,000 workers coming into town on typical workdays, Del Vecchio became a proponent of computerizing the city’s traffic light system to help smooth the flow of cars.

A large mainframe computer was installed in the basement of city hall to run the traffic lights, a significant technical achievement for the time and

said to be the first system of its kind in New York state.

Del Vecchio also was a promoter of culture and recreation in the city and pushed for various activities such as live theater, downtown concerts at lunchtime and expanded sports activities at city fields. Among his personal recreational passions were boating and fishing, and he often would share his catch of Long Island Sound bluefish with city workers and friends.

In 1993, Del Vecchio was challenged in a Republican primary by Common Council member Michael Coffey who won by 85 votes.

Del Vecchio ran in the general election for mayor on the Conservative Party line.

Democrat S.J. Schulman won the election. Del Vecchio originally got into politics as a Democrat, but changed affiliation after a dispute with party leaders.

Del Vecchio and his wife of 73 years, Claire, had eight children.

Westchester County's largest commercial real estate sales for 2018

rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

I

t may come as no surprise to trackers of Westchester County’s commercial real estate market, but data on the largest sales of 2018 show that apartment buildings are worth big money.

The Business Journal compiled a list of this year's top 11 property deals in Westchester, as of the end of November, using data from Real Capital Analytics provided by CBRE Group Inc. In a year in which developers built or planned thousands of new apartment units throughout the county, investors spent large sums of money on existing apartment towers and complexes.

Westchester's two largest deals of 2018 involve apartment properties. The buyer in the third-largest deal, meanwhile, plans to convert office space to apartments.

Jeffrey Dunne, a vice chairman at CBRE, said the year marked a continuation of several trends for Westchester.

“Apartments remain of interest to investors and Westchester County has a somewhat limited supply,” Dunne said. “The office trades often have a value-add or change of use component. A lot of what you are seeing is older, less-functional office space being repurposed into mixed-use apartments or retail projects.”

Brewery—

Alexa O’Rourke, the general manager at the Jefferson Valley Mall, said the on-site brew is part of an ongoing effort from its ownership, Washington Prime Group, to “transform the mall into the community hub, town center that it is.” Partnering with Peekskill Brewery, she added, helps create a local vibe aimed at attracting wider demographics to the mall.

The brewery and mall had already worked together earlier this year on an event called Boo ‘n Brew outside the Jefferson Valley Mall a couple weekends before Halloween. Peekskill Brewery poured beers outside of Macy’s while the mall organized a costume contest and trick-or-treating. Ford Piano — which has a mall storefront — provided music.

included the brewery’s popular Eastern Standard IPA and Super Stario IPA. The Ohio-based Washington Prime purchased the roughly 550,000-sqaure-foot mall from Simon Property Group in 2015. A year later, the company started on a $40 million renovation plan for the more than 30-year-old mall. The exterior has been upgraded and a former cinema has been converted to a Dick’s Sporting Goods.

Within the time frame of the renovations, the Jefferson Valley Mall has celebrated openings from brands such as Ulta Beauty and Bath and Bodyworks. This year, Stone Rose Steakhouse Sushi and Lounge opened up a 6,000-square-foot restaurant on the ground floor. The mall saw other new openings in a Verizon Wireless location and from Home Pie Signature Pizza.

Orange Theory Fitness is

expected to open up there soon as well.

But the mall will soon have a large vacancy when anchor tenant Sears moves out. The Jefferson Valley location is one of 142 stores nationwide that Sears Holdings Corp. announced would close by the end of the year.

The announcement came as the company filed for bankruptcy in October.

The Sears location is owned and operated independently of Washington Prime, by Seritage Growth Properties, a spinoff real estate trust of Sears assets.

The company has received approval from the town of Yorktown to allow fitness and health club uses on the property. Seritage wrote in a third-quarter public filing that part of its Yorktown property will be redeveloped with a 24-hour fitness facility and additional retail space by the end of 2019.

The efforts at making the mall into the type of community center O’Rourke describes were apparent on a visit the first weekend of December. That morning, the mall offered a “Breakfast for Santa” for kids and hosted afternoon crafts for kids

by Pizzazles, a Crompondbased children’s party and creativity class planner.

On Dec. 15, the mall and Peekskill Brewery will team up to host an “Ugly Sweater” party with a DJ, games and drinks from the brewery in the mall food court.

“We’re letting go of the use of the word ‘mall’ and really emphasizing the community aspect of it,” O’Rourke said. “We’re here to bring in different activations and daily programming and all that fun stuff.”

The pop-up is open 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. every Friday and noon to 10 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays through Dec. 24.

The company’s dedicated website is info.starwoodhotels.com. In addition, it is letting those affected enroll for free in WebWatcher, which monitors sites where personal information is shared and sends an alert if a person’s information is found.

U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Connecticut), ranking member of the Senate Commerce

Subcommittee on Consumer Protection, Product Safety, Insurance and Data Security, said in a statement: “Marriott’s failure to prevent the theft of private data has placed hundreds of millions of customers at significant personal and financial risk. The apparent failure to detect and remove hackers from its systems for four years calls into question whether Marriott took the security and privacy of its customers seriously. American consumers expect that companies entrusted with their credit card information, passport numbers and other sensitive personal data are taking necessary measures to protect it from malicious actors.

“Once again, Americans are left to pay the substantial cost of corporate negligence.

Congress must move forward to end this cycle of broken promises. We must set clear consumer data protection standards for all companies — whether they’re hotel chains, online retailers or big tech — and severe penalties for those who fall short.”

The hotel company said a hacker had copied and encrypted information and took steps toward removing it. On Nov. 19 Marriott said it was able to decrypt the information and found that the contents were from the Starwood guest reservation database.

On Nov. 30 Marriott said for 327 million of the 500 million people exposed, the information includes some combination of name, mailing address, phone number, email address, passport number, Starwood Preferred Guest account information, date of birth, gender, arrival and departure information, reservation date and communication preferences.

For others, the company said, the information also includes payment card numbers and payment card expiration dates, “but the payment card numbers were

the brewery again for the holiday pop-up, Berardi said the brewery saw it as a natural fit. “Me and Keith grew up coming to the Jefferson Valley Mall, so it was kind of an easy, no-brainer for us to come for the holidays.”

The brewery — based out of its taproom and restaurant on South Water Street near the Peekskill train station — often does this style of grassroots marketing.

They pop up, so to speak, at festivals and beer tasting events that last for a day or weekend. But this is the first extended venture into a retail location, Berardi said.

The brewery celebrated 10 years in operation this fall. Peekskill started canning its beers for retail sale in 2016. The Jefferson Valley pop-up represents “part of our natural transition into trying to promote our cans.”

According to Marriott, “there are two components needed to decrypt the payment card numbers and at this point Marriott has not been able to rule out the possibility that both were taken.”

How can I protect myself from identity theft?

T

hese days it seems like every major company is getting its data stolen.

A major data breach can dominate an entire news cycle. But sometimes the media can’t keep up with these developments. It has become commonplace. With all this data being stolen, it is very likely that almost everyone reading this has their data in the hands of someone they don’t want to have it. However, “data” can mean anything from your email address to your Social Security number, so it is important to protect what counts.

AM I AT RISK?

Yes, if you have ever entered any personal information into a computer, or even written it down on a piece of paper, you are at risk of identity theft. However, just like investing, there are varying degrees of risk. We all make choices that can increase or decrease the risk of identity theft. Think about the following actions. The more you do (or don’t do) the higher your risk of identity theft: • Do you throw away credit card offers, bank statements, prescription pill labels and receipts? All these common pieces of mail should always be shredded.

• Do you send outgoing mail from home?

8

DECEMBER 10, 2018

WCBJ

Intercepting mail is a nondigital, and still very common, form of identity theft.

• Do you ask how service providers will protect your Social Security number or the copy of your medical ID card? Just as you need a plan to protect yourself, your service providers need a plan to protect you as well.

• Do you carry your Social Security number or military ID in your wallet? If you misplace your wallet your information will be at risk.

• Are you required to use your Social Security number as an employee ID number or password?

• Have you neglected to read the privacy policy statements of the banks and financial institutions you work with?

• Do you share your location or personal information on social media sites?

• Do you forget to logoff when accessing online banking or social networking from a shared computer?

• Do you use public Wi-Fi to access your private account?

• Did you forget to set a passcode on your phone that activates after a short period of inactivity?

While this list may seem lengthy, it is import-

ant to remember that bad actors focus on the low-hanging fruit. Anything you can do to make it a little harder on a cybercriminal, the more likely it is that they will choose easier prey.

Yes, if you have ever entered any personal information into a computer, or even written it down on a piece of paper, you are at risk of identity theft. However, just like investing, there are varying degrees of risk.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I AM A VICTIM?

Keep in mind the following steps: File a police report and keep a copy as evidence.

File a fraud alert with the national credit bureaus Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.

This is also known as a credit freeze and requires lenders to call you to verify your identity before granting credit.

The bureaus can be reached at: Equifax (800-685-1111); Experian (888-397-3742); and TransUnion (888-909-8872).

Notify all financial institutions with which you do business, cancel and order new credit and debit cards, and stop payment on outstanding checks.

File your case with the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC enters all complains into a database that is used by law enforcement.

Send creditors a copy of your ID theft report.

Why MSPs need to step up their game

M

anaged service providers (MSPs) need to be on alert.

These businesses are relied upon by organizations in a range of industries for managing services that encompass all things IT and telecommunications (from personal computers to cloud storage, from servers to scanners, and much more).

But MSPs are being targeted — specifically, according to a recent Reuters report, by the international hacking ring cloudhopper that is linked to the Chinese government. Why are they under attack? Because given their range of clients and the amount of data each one of those clients possesses, they offer a trove of valuable and exponential personal data.

From a cybersecurity standpoint it makes complete sense that MSPs and other IT service providers are prime targets.

They have unfettered access to their clients’ valuable data, which translates quite directly into money.

It’s more important than ever that MSPs step up their game — both for the sake of their clients and themselves. Relying on anti-virus, anti-malware and a firewall is not enough.

MSPs and IT service providers need a cybersecurity ecosystem that provides 360-degree visibility and protection.

A comprehensive cybersecurity ecosystem blankets the attack surface with a layer of protection that leaves no hole exposed and nothing left to chance. MSPs should coordinate with cybersecurity professionals to assemble a suite of purpose-built appliances and applications. While IT people can be very good at what they do, unless they specialize in cybersecurity, they need to coordinate with experts. Otherwise, it’s like a general practitioner performing heart surgery. And even more importantly, many MSPs don’t invest in the next-gen security to protect their systems that access their client data.

Key technolo�y components of a cybersecurity ecosystem really must include SIEM 2.0, next-gen advanced endpoint protection, next-gen perimeter protection, network level monitoring, data loss prevention, DNS and web filtering, file and disk encryption, encrypted backup and multi-factor authentication. Additional elements of protection to help round out the ecosystem should also include dark web monitoring and security awareness training.

Alongside these components, a comprehensive set of cybersecurity-related policies should be formulated and enforced.

These policies must define behaviors and expectations, deputizing members of the organization to join in safeguarding valuable data in the process.

One incredibly effective policy for all organizations (including IT service providers and MSPs) to consider is participation in consistent ongoing education and training.

Educational efforts can’t be thought of as one and done, but rather must be an ongoing,

repetitive and normative process for a company, allowing employees to practice what they learn every day.

These efforts don’t have to be overwhelming — a quarterly review of policies, routine security announcements (that could be included in a staff meeting’s agenda, a message on a pay stub or a pop-up when they log on in the morning) and perhaps incorporated as part of an employee’s annual review all add up to an environment where employees are always thinking about keeping their own data — and their organization’s data — safe.

Employees should be educated on the proper use of technolo�y and social media — what they should be looking out for, what cyberattacks actually look like, what websites are infected (and there are tons — even legit-

imate websites) and what malware behaves like. Effective cybersecurity training can instill a sociological element that changes employees’ behavioral norms with regard to how they interact with one another and act on social media.

This type of education can then be reinforced through procedures that demonstrate to employees how to be good corporate citizens with a strong cybersecurity posture and policies that demand they live up to these requirements.

Because mistakes still happen despite these precautions and best intentions, it’s not a bad idea for them to round out their protection by adding a cyber liability insurance policy for when an employee accidentally opens an infected attachment or visits an

CD

infected website.

The good news is that as cyber threats have increased, so have the companies that have risen to the challenge. This has significantly reduced prices, making it affordable to almost any business.

Businesses should realize that if their IT provider isn’t protected, neither are they. An IT company which is not fully protected can be responsible for their client’s data being stolen. Now, more than ever, MSPs and IT service providers need to step up their game with a comprehensive cybersecurity ecosystem for their clients — and themselves.

ASK ANDI | Andi Gray

Recruitment is a key driver of success to add more talent disruption to the mix.

Do a careful assessment of every key player in your organization. Make sure each team member has a growth path laid out, and a plan to work to achieve that growth path. For any team members who are struggling, pair them up with someone else who is strong in the areas they’re weak at. Give them time to develop additional skills and carefully assess how well they’re doing at tackling the opportunities you put in front of them. Make sure all team members understand that respect, integrity, striving to achieve more and helping others succeed are all values you expect to see every day.

Map out one-, two- and three-year goals at a min-

I INTERVIEWED AN “A” PLAYER BUT THE TEAM PASSED ON HER. IN RETROSPECT I SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT HER IN. HOW DO I GET MY TEAM TO RECOGNIZE AND EMBRACE BRINGING ON HIGH-QUALITY TALENT? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Make sure your team is confident in their roles. Define the goals that need to be met, and the talent that is required to get to those goals. Give the team a payoff for hitting the ball out of the park. Get everyone up to speed with how to search, qualify and hire great candidates.

Assess your team members. Are they comfortable in the roles they hold? Do they understand how they can continue to grow with the organization? Do they want to keep growing? Do they understand the payoffs that come with per-

sonal development?

If you can answer “yes” to all of these questions, you’re half way home to getting your team focused on hiring great talent. If there are any “no” answers, put time and ener�y into figuring out what’s wrong.

Do you have the right people, just not all in the right jobs? Are any of the team members in over their heads and in need of rescuing? Any team members that spend time defining themselves by putting others down? These are all common management problems that need to be fixed before you move on

imum. Define where the business is going and how to get there. Involve your team members in mapping out the plan of attack. Talk about how much and what kind of additional talent will be needed in order to achieve those goals.

Encourage team members to identify talent gaps that must be filled in order to achieve success.

Instead of rewarding individual performance, set up bottom-line rewards.

If the company grows, and improves, the bottom line will improve. Offer to share a portion of that increased net income with everyone on the team. Help everyone understand that once basic salaries are handed out, the big rewards will come from hitting the ball out of the park in terms

of growth of revenue and increasing profit.

Define the future positions that need to be filled, and build training plans for people to grow into those jobs. When there isn’t enough time to train someone, or there isn’t anyone interested in growing into a particular job, that’s where the team needs to focus its hiring efforts. Make hiring great talent a group goal with group rewards.

Make sure your team gets the training it needs so they have great search and hiring skills. Encourage everyone on the team to work on building a talent bank to draw upon in future years. Gather names, identify great resumes, regularly talk with potential candidates — that’s everyone’s job,

if the company is going to ultimately build its “A” team.

Bottini Fuel skim scam costs $3.3M in criminal, civil penalties

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

Hudson Valley fuel oil company that boasts of “guaranteed fair pricing” pleaded guilty Nov. 27 to falsifying business records in a scam to skim customers’ money for its owners and friends.

Bottini Fuel of Wappingers Falls also agreed to pay nearly $3.3 million in criminal and civil penalties to compensate customers for their losses during the 12-year scheme.

The case was based on a whistle-blower lawsuit filed in 2015.

The outcome was the first time the New York False Claims Act has led to a criminal conviction and restitution for victims, according to the whistle-blower’s law firm, Getnick & Getnick.

Bottini employs hundreds of people, according to the settlement agreement, and has annual revenue of more than $100 million.

The company claims it is the largest provider of heating oil and propane in the Hudson Valley, covering 10 counties as well as parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

“When you’re a Bottini Fuel customer,” the company’s website states, “you never have to look at your delivery ticket and wonder, Am I getting a fair price? The answer is yes, every time!”

But sometimes customers overpaid.

Customers bought fuel in the off-season, budgeted the wrong monthly average or mistakenly made duplicate payments or paid too much.

Normally, excess payments would be credited to the accounts or refunded. But in hundreds of cases, according to the settlement, Bottini transferred the balances to dummy accounts and then to accounts held by the company’s owners, family members, friends, employees and related businesses.

Investigators calculated that Bottini skimmed $1,762,771.

Sixty victims were government customers — schools, prisons, towns and state agencies — that lost $590,887. The greatest government losses included the Taconic Developmental Disabilities Services Organization, $281,630, and Green Haven Correctional Facility, $145,957. Bottini even stole as little as 27 cents from the Arlington Central School District.

It was the ripoff of governments that upended Bottini.

The False Claims Act rewards whistle-blowers who report fraud against governments.

The whistle-blower will receive $491,358 from the governments’ portion of the restitution and penalties.

The whistle-blower’s identity “remains protected,” according to a news release by Getnick & Getnick, and his or her name has

been redacted in the public version of the settlement agreement.

The settlement also covers Anthony Bottini, Brian Bottini and Mark Bottini, Carriage Hill Apartments LLC, Mid-Hudson Park Management Corp., Morgan Fuel & Heating, Toje Realty Inc. and Woodhill Fletcher Apartments LLC. The defendants agreed to pay back $1,762,771 to customers and another $1.5 mil-

lion in fines and penalties to the state. The attorney general’s office will distribute the restitution funds.

Money owed to customers who cannot be located will be deposited in the comptroller’s unclaimed funds account.

Bottini also agreed that it will not apply the payments to state or New York City tax deductions or tax credits.

The heating oil fraud was investi-

gated by the offices of state Attorney General Barbara D. Underwood and state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. The criminal case was filed in Wappingers Falls Justice Court.

Justin Wagner, an assistant attorney general, represented the state. Manhattan attorney Paul R. Grand represented Bottini. Neil V. Getnick represented the whistle-blower.

NFS Leasing claims $1M in Mount Vernon tennis bubble debacle

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

N

FS Leasing Inc., a company that leased an inflatable dome to an indoor tennis facility in Mount Vernon, claims that the city cost it more than $1 million when it deflated the bubble in the dead of night.

NFS Leasing said the city had agreed to “simultaneously provide” it with a copy of any default notices issued to Kela Tennis Inc., the company that leased the bubble and rented city property at Memorial Field. The city sent notices to Kela Tennis, the company claims, but did not notify NFS Leasing.

“Around midnight on June 1, 2018, without notice or warning to NFS,” the leasing company states in a petition filed Nov. 20 in Westchester Supreme Court, “the city forcibly gained entry to the indoor tennis facility operated by Kela Tennis at Memorial Field and vandalized the bubble, causing it to rapidly deflate and causing severe and permanent damages to NFS’ property, effectively destroying it as well as Kela Tennis’ business.”

Mayor Richard Thomas did not immediately respond to a request for comment emailed to his press office, corporate counsel and outside attorney.

NFS wants to sue the city for illegal destruction of property, trespass and interference with its contracts with Kela. But first, it is asking the court to extend a deadline.

A municipality must be given a written notice of claim within 90 days of an incident, before filing a lawsuit for damages.

NFS, based in Beverly, Massachusetts, was unaware of the 90-day deadline, Ashley S. Whyman, vice president and general counsel, said in an affidavit. The company submitted a written notice of claim on Sept. 4, a few days after the 90-day cutoff.

But that should not matter, according to the NFS petition filed by attorney Mona D.

The city forcibly gained entry to the indoor tennis facility operated by Kela Tennis at Memorial Field and vandalized the bubble.

Shapiro of Mount Kisco.

She noted that the mayor held a press conference the day the bubble was deflated and discussed what the city had done.

Kela sued the city for $27 million a week after the incident, and the mayor and other city officials have acknowledged under oath in that case that NFS owns the bubble, the city destroyed it and Kela was put out of business.

Whyman also called and emailed the city’s outside counsel, Douglas J. Martino, on July 24, to discuss the matter.

Thus, the city and key officials were “fully familiar with all of the pertinent facts” from the beginning, NFS argues, “and therefore will not be prejudiced if NFS is permitted to file its claim late.”

The bubble debacle goes back to 2015, when the city licensed exclusive rights to Kela to operate a tennis facility, indoor and outdoor, for 15 years at Memorial Field.

Kela was required to supply the equipment, including a removable inflatable structure — the bubble — and the city agreed to build a clubhouse, restrooms and infrastructure.

On Dec. 31, 2015, on his last day as mayor, Ernest Davis

signed a consent and waiver agreement with Kela and NFS. The city acknowledged NFS as owner of the bubble and promised to immediately notify the company if a default notice was ever sent to Kela.

The city sent Kela a notice of default on Feb. 3 and a notice of cancellation on April 30. If Kela remained in possession of the property on June 1, the cancellation notice said, the city would enter the property “by force if necessary” and dispossess Kela.

NFS claims it was never notified of the default or cancellation.

Kela, in its lawsuit, attributes the city’s actions to Mayor Thomas’ ambition to restore Memorial Field.

City officials had made repeated demands that Kela vacate the tennis courts, citing plans to demolish a nearby grandstand and a need to clean up contaminated soil.

The city also said Kela owed $265,000 in back rent.

Kela alleges that the city never built the clubhouse and restrooms and that officials had said rent payments could be withheld.

Kela Simunyola, president of Kela Tennis, described in an affidavit what happened on June 1.

Around midnight, employees of Figueroa & Son Contracting Co. “broke the locks of the blower unit and turned off the blower, pried open the bay door attached to the tennis bubble with an axe and crowbar, and broke into the electrical room to shut off power to the facility. They then entered into the tennis bubble and opened up all the emergency doors, causing the bubble to rapidly collapse.”

About 70 anchor nuts and other parts needed for re-inflating the bubble were removed.

Since then, Simunyola claims, the bubble has been torn and ripped, and mold and mildew have formed on both sides.

NFS claims $1,083,872 in damages: $612,863 for the bubble and $471,009 in lost lease payments.

he Westchester County commercial real estate marketplace continues its progression toward modernization and becoming stronger from an economic and occupancy perspective.

Since the Great Recession of 2009, Westchester County has historically struggled with old and obsolete inventory and a reduction in tenant demand. The reduction in tenant demand hurt landlords’ ability to collect rents that would allow them to renovate or even just maintain their commercial office product to remain competitive. Predictably, the best, well-capitalized landlords and their office building product gained a disproportionate share of tenant occupancy and the lessthan-best office buildings struggled.

BIG TRENDS

Over the past several years, the Westchester

marketplace has seen the emergence of the following trends: Increased office tenant interest in CBD of White Plains office market: Over the past three years the office vacancy rate in the commercial business district (CBD) office market has gone from 22 percent to 15 percent. Additionally, office rents in the CBD have risen by 20 percent over that period of time.

Peak rents in the CBD appear to be reaching $40 per square foot, the highest in more than a decade.

This increased vitality in the CBD has developers focused there. One example is the total renovation and activation of 11 Martine Ave. and 50 Main St. This is a project being redeveloped by Ginsburg Development and will be known as City Square.

Office tenants’ demands: The first priority of office tenants is to attract and

retain their human capital, their employees. The utilization of real estate, both in terms of location and functionality, as a tool to attract the new millennial employees has made this mandate more important than ever.

The second priority is increasingly dense office space utilization. The common “rule of thumb” used to be four employees per 1,000 square feet. Tenants are now putting up to seven employees per 1,000 square feet. Unassigned workspaces are also an emerging trend. Tenants are now asking their employees to pick a desk when they come in each day instead of having an assigned desk or office.

Increases in construction of high-density residential apartment buildings: This is a trend in several hubs within Westchester County. There is strong residential demand and construction in two submarkets:

How Owning Bitcoin or any other Cryptocurrency May Complicate Your Estate Plan and Income Taxes

T

he ownership of any digital currency whether it be Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency has by its very nature inherent complexities. One particularly complexity is issue of its taxation and how to legally dispose of the cryptocurrency upon one’s demise.

In spite of most references to Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies as being a “digital currency”, the IRS in Notice 2014-21 issued on March 25, 2014 made it clear that for purposes of federal taxation in the U.S., Bitcoin is to be treated as “property.” Thus, like all other forms of “property” the principles of taxation that apply to property transactions apply to the transactions involving cryptocurrencies. For example, income taxation thereof, short and/or long-term capital gains and/or losses and their applicable tax rates need to be applied to transactions involving Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency. Even the use of a cryptocurrency to purchase goods and services has the potential for income taxation, or losses, as there could be income taxes due on the difference between the value of the cryptocurrency at the time it was purchased, and its fair market value when spent on the goods or services. This taxation can also occur when it is converted into U.S. dollars.

Unfortunately, the use of any cryptocurrency to make purchases is often the area of greatest potential taxation for its owner. This occurs because almost every transaction involving a cryptocurrency results in a taxable event, that may generate capital gains or losses. For example, you purchased one Bitcoin for $6,000.00 U.S. dollars and you purchased a motorcycle with said Bitcoin for $10,000.00. depending on how long you held the Bitcoin before you made the purchase there could be a short- or long-term capital gain Because a cryptocurrency is treated as property by the IRS, extensive and detailed record keeping is needed. The failure to adequately keep records of transactions could potentially come back to haunt one’s family and estate if contemporaneous records are not kept and income taxes not paid on the transactions annually. The prospect of an IRS audit is real. This is also an area where most cryptocurrency owners seek to avoid taxation.

istence of the Bitcoin. However, if they do not know of both digital keys (public and private), the Bitcoin cannot be accessed and distributed to one’s beneficiaries. It would be for all practical purposes lost in the block chain.

This problem is unfortunately similar to that facing the owners of all types of digital assets. One’s passwords, keys, etc. must be divulged to one’s family and those tasked with handling one’s affairs.

Having knowledge of the two keys (both public and private) is also a dilemma if the Bitcoin holder is taken ill and/or is incapacitated. The named agent under his or her Power of Attorney would not be able to access the Bitcoin without knowledge of the private key and if the Power of Attorney does not specifically refer to digital assets and/or the cryptocurrency.

Because of the volatile nature of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies it is also imperative that the executor/trustee of an estate and/or trust be aware of its volatility and take all necessary steps to seek to comply with the Prudent Investor Act as provided for in §11-2.3 of

On the positive side, upon the death of a Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency holder, the beneficiaries of said cryptocurrency will receive the cryptocurrency at its fair market value on the holder’s date of death. §1022 of the Internal Revenue Code. Their cost basis is stepped up to its date of death value as it is includible like any other property in the decedent’s taxable estate, subject to federal and state estate tax laws and their applicable estate tax credits.

Because of its digital nature there is no tangible documentary evidence of the cryptocurrency’s existence. There is no Bitcoin bank statement. In essence, its owners engage in direct transactions with each other. There are more than 100,000 merchants that accept Bitcoin as payment. As of the date of this writing one Bitcoin is worth approximately $4,268.00 U.S. dollars. The transactions in Bitcoins are recorded in a publicly distributed database which is known as a “blockchain”. The blockchain is constantly and regularly updated. It is within the blockchain where the Bitcoin exist.

The name of the Bitcoin owner is not publicly recorded, but, one’s ownership is tied to a specific Bitcoin address. This is where the potential problem exists for not only the holder, but, his or her heirs. One’s Bitcoin or cryptocurrency can only be accessed by the holder of its two (2) digital keys. One key is public and the other is private. There can be one or more private keys. The private key is in essence the secret number that allows the cryptocurrency to be spent.

It is a randomly generated string of numbers and letters.

A problem exists if the private key is lost because then there is no way to access the Bitcoin. Generally, both keys are stored in a digital wallet by the holder. The public key is used to ensure you are the owner of an address that receives funds. It is related to one’s wallet.

Because Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency is treated as property, it can be distributed by one’s Last Will and Testament and be also assigned/transferred to one’s Revocable and/or Irrevocable Trust. This would require that the Trust be the holder of the Bitcoin in the blockchain. Even if one’s heirs, executor(s), and trustee(s) know of the ex-

the NY Estates, Powers and Trusts Law and diversify the holdings in the Trust and/or estate. Even ownership of just a little bit of Bitcoin can end up creating headaches.

In conclusion, although an interesting, volatile, and perhaps potentially profitable investment, the ownership of a cryptocurrency has a number of pitfalls that need to be considered before one becomes an owner. *Anthony J.

OVERVIEW OF PARENTAL LEAVE RIGHTS IN NEW YORK

By Joseph DeGiuseppe, Jr., Esq. and Justin M. Gardner, Esq. Bleakley Platt

T

he rights of employees in New York state to take leave to bond with a newborn child are governed by The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the New York State Paid Family Leave Law (NYPFL).

FMLA, a federal statute, provides eligible employees with the right to take up to 12 weeks off for the birth of a child and to bond with the newborn child within one year of birth. Employees are eligible for FMLA leave if they have worked for their employer for at least 12 months, and have worked for at least 1,250 hours over the previous 12 months at a location where at least 50 employees are employed within 75 miles. Both mothers and fathers have the same right to take FMLA leave for the birth of a child (but not for adoption or foster care placements), which must be taken as a continuous block of leave unless the employer agrees to allow intermittent leave.

FMLA only requires that employers provide unpaid leave. However, an employer may require employees to use their paid personal time off (PTO) leave concurrently with the FMLA leave period. Employers must maintain group health insurance benefits for employees on a FMLA leave, but they can require employees to continue to pay their required share of the insurance premium. FMLA provides employees with reinstatement rights to the same or an “equivalent” position following their time off, with limited exceptions.

NYPFL covers employees who are regularly scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week and have worked at least 26 consecutive weeks before the first full day of family leave begins. Part-time employees whose regular employment schedule is less than 20 hours per week are eligible for NYPFL benefits after having worked for 175 days for the employer.

NYPFL provides that eligible employees will be entitled to paid leave in order to bond with their newborn children during the first year of the child’s life, or in the case of adoption or foster care placement, for the first year after the placement of a child with the employee.

The NYPFL currently allows employees to collect up to a maximum of 8 weeks of paid leave benefits within a 52-consecutive week period. The maximum weekly benefit in 2019 will be $746.41. Like FMLA, employees are also entitled to the continuation of their group health insurance benefits with their employer, subject to their usual contribution.

The required use of accrued PTO (vacations, personal days, etc.) presents employers with an issue where an employee concurrently takes a FMLA and NYPFL leave for child bonding purposes as NYPFL regulations pro-

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

Joseph DeGiuseppe, Jr.

hibit the required use of PTO, while FMLA allows employers to require the use of the same. Although commentators have differed on whether FMLA preempts this NYPFL regulation, the regulation currently remains in effect. An employee may, however, elect to use accrued PTO while on NYPFL. Based on the recent developments on parental leave rights, employers should review their parental leave policies to ensure compliance with both federal and NYS law.

If you have any questions concerning parental leave rights in New York, please do not hesitate to contact Joseph DeGiuseppe, Jr., Esq., at 914-949-2700.

Successful Aging: Keane & Beane, P.C. Participates in Senior Law Day

T

he Westchester County community is fortunate to have a robust array of professionals, organizations and caring individuals with a variety of backgrounds and abilities who are dedicated to the cause of successful aging. The Senior Law Day Programs assist families to successfully plan for their future, answer legal questions and provide free programming to the county. The 2018 program year is finishing on a high note.

This year, we completed over 550 free one-onone consultations for our residents, with skilled estate and elder law attorneys, a record number. In 2018, and in every year since our start in 1999, we have been dedicated to promoting the legal, financial and overall health of seniors and their families in Westchester County.

The Senior Law Day Collaborative which consists of attorneys, accountants, financial planners, insurance professionals and geriatric social workers plans to continue expanding its reach in 2019. We are focused on being a trusted community resource on a wide range of elder law, healthcare and financial issues for seniors and their families.

We closely partner with Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services (DSPS) and encourage Westchester residents to call the DSPS help line at 914-813-6436 with any concerns related to aging. DSPS often refers the call to the appropriate member of our Collaborative. We screen each professional before he or she joins, so that residents do not have to worry about potential scams or otherwise being sold something they do not need. In 2019, we plan to offer: • Greater use of the guide “Elder Law Q&A: An Introduction to Aging Issues and Planning for the Future” to supplement our live programming. The Elder Law Q&A is available at https://www.kblaw.com/ wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Elder-LawQA-2018-ONLINE-Ed19-FINAL.pdf as a valuable community resource.

• Additional single-session programs in local communities throughout the County during the year to serve our diverse residents. o The Bronxville Public Library will host a program on Affordable Housing Options on Monday, February 11, 2019 at 3:00PM o The Town of Pelham Public Library will host a program on Social Security on Monday, March 18, 2019 at 7:00PM o The Briarcliff Manor Public Library will host a program on Elder Law on Thursday, March 21, 2019 at 6:30PM o The Yonkers Riverfront Library half day program in April 2019, and our annual half day County Center program in White Plains on Tuesday, October 15,

PROFESSIONAL SERVICES

By by Sarah A. Steckler 2019 at which begins at 9:00AM; and • Increased programming for Westchester’s Spanish-speaking population; and I am pleased to continue as the Senior Law Day Program Director in 2019, with my Keane & Beane P.C. colleague Steven A. Schurkman serving as a Program Co-Chair. Jeffrey A. Cohen, Zachary D. Olivia and Christopher J. Aventuro are also active. We work with a wonderful committee of more than 130 colleagues, many of whom volunteer tirelessly and take on leadership roles. Senior Law Day is presented by the Westchester County DSPS, the Westchester Public/Private Partnership for Aging Services, and the Ninth Judicial District of the New York State Office of Court Administration.

We look forward to another year of empowering Westchester’s older adults to remain in

their homes and age with dignity, independence and civic involvement.

Rendering of 60 South Broadway in White Plains.

• New Rochelle. The city features: 360 Huguenot St., a 28-story, mixeduse tower at the former Loews Theater, which will consist of 280 apartments and a 10,000-square-foot black box performance center; Church and Division streets, consisting of two 28-story towers containing a total of 650 to 700 apartments and 40,000 square feet of retail and parking; and “The Rockwell,” a five-story, 151,000-square-foot building with 114 apartments, 21,000 square feet of retail space and indoor parking.

• White Plains. 60 S. Broadway, a two-building, 707-unit, mixed-use development totaling 858,000 square feet. The 24-story residential towers will have a 93,840-squarefoot commercial base featuring retail and restaurant space.

Continued softness in the suburban office park sectors of the county: We see continued softness for those buildings and office parks not within the Westchester CBDs as the value proposition of each building becomes less demonstrable. The vacancy rate outside of the White Plains CBD is hovering in the 27 percent range with no real momentum to bring that down.

This softness allows for the redevelopment of these less-healthy office buildings into other categories of use, specifically residential, entertainment/ lifestyle, medical (and biomedical), educational and retail. Examples of this are Simone’s proposed redevelopment of 104 Corporate Park Drive to a four-story pediatric ambulatory care facility for Montefiore Medical Center and the lifestyle fitness/ Wegmans/Toll Brothers

redevelopment of the Corporate Park Drive area.

The current trend in the Westchester market has seen improvement in the CBD office sector, a weeding out of the less competitive buildings and growth in other commercial markets such as apartment buildings, medical and other uses. As the White Plains center creates a critical mass of housing and entertainment venues combined with its train station improvement project, it will continue to capture more than its fair share of office users and with its limited supply of space, rents will continue to climb.

Transportation and public-private partnership key to building Hudson Park

T

he new Hudson Park complex in Yonkers is a prime example of how improving transportation infrastructure can help revitalize overlooked areas that have been difficult to develop. By funding infrastructure upgrades, developers had the confidence to invest in the area along the Hudson River — creating housing and amenities that will serve families for generations to come. This experience can show municipalities across the state what can be done to repurpose their industrial areas, so they too can once again contribute to the communities they are in.

In a state like New York, transportation infrastructure is vital for growth, and a strong

Hudson Park from the platform of the Yonkers train station.

Elevator Service

is Not Child’s Play!

There’s a lot riding on the proper maintenance of your elevators. The safety & comfort of your passengers. The peace of mind that comes with reliable operation and avoidance of emergencies. Potentially significant cost savings.That’s why you need D&D Elevator’s highly-trained professionals, to conduct your monthly elevator maintenance and make expert recommendations to help you steer clear of problems.

D&D’s workforce education and certifications include: ◆ 10 and 30-hour OSHA certifications ◆ Qualified Elevator Inspectors (QEI) Certifications through NAESA ◆ Certified Elevator Technicians (CET) accredited by ANSI & ISO ◆ NY State & Federal Dept of Labor-approved Apprenticeship Program ◆ Licensed Master Electricians ◆ Certified Education Instructors ◆ Factory-trained Installers ◆ Full-time Workplace Safety Auditors & Trainers

transportation system has proven to bring greater economic and social opportunities, including accessibility to additional markets, employment prospects and increased investments. That is why when public entities decided to make the investments that they did, they knew they would serve multiple generations of Yonkers residents.

The upgraded infrastructure helped make the apartments at Hudson Park much more appealing to a variety of people. The first two buildings are fully occupied, mostly by those who work in but did not want to live in New York City, had a job transfer or wanted an upgrade from their current living situation.

The third building will have amenities not included in the first two, including a pool and a room that looks directly over the water.

These tenants have not only brought new ener�y to Yonkers, but also helped lift its financial prospects.

A recent case study by the Urban Land Institute’s Tri-State Land Use Council documented the nearly two-decade process it took to make Hudson Park a success. Sitting on eight acres of former industrial land, this almost forgotten area was in desperate need of revital-

In order to entice developers to make investments, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) spent $43 million restoring the historic Yonkers train station.

ization, which had been delayed by community opposition to previous proposals. In order to entice developers to make investments, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) spent $43 million restoring the historic Yonkers train station. Many tracks and bridges needed to be replaced and now riders can enjoy a much better experience. Yonkers is just a 28-minute train ride to midtown Manhattan and these improvements gave the private sector the confidence to develop knowing they could attract commuters.

Making the rezoning process transparent was also a key element to putting shovels in the ground. With the city and nonprofits purchasing the land, these entities were

SPECIAL REPORT able to share control of the process, helping to ensure any development that took place benefited the Yonkers community as a whole.

By involving residents through public meetings, developers and city officials had the opportunity to address concerns they saw in previous plans. The buildings were smaller and included public access to the water. The private investment wouldn’t have come without the city investing over $100 million for a new library, a 610-space parking structure for commuters, critical infrastructure and utilities as well as an esplanade along the Hudson River. In addition, the city passed new zoning codes specifically for Hudson Park, sparking a renaissance for the long-suffering downtown which has spurred further redevelopment.

This development strengthened Yonkers’ long-term fiscal outlook by expanding the tax base. Even though Hudson Park generated additional costs to the city for infrastructure, education and emergency services, estimates show that additional revenue will also be generated through the added tax base. In fiscal year 2016-2017, Hudson Park generated over $2 million in city/school taxes and over $300,000 in county taxes.

When manufacturing sectors were created, they included several transportation options so products could be easily sent to their destinations. Today, communities are looking for ways to redevelop these former industrial sites to meet current needs. This could include other types of manufacturing, housing, retail and public amenities. Because these areas were built around transportation, strengthening infrastructure - like they did in Yonkers - would entice the private sector to support revitalization efforts.

Building Hudson Park was a long process, but successful in large part because of the transportation improvements made for the city’s residents. In turn, we saw a multiplier effect of greater public spaces, amenities and economic activity. By implementing similar policies in other parts of New York, even more former industrial areas can be turned into economic and socially vibrant communities.

Good Things Happening AWARD-WINNING APP CREATED The assistant chief medical officer of Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains, Carolin Dohle, and Montefiore resident physician Abhishek Agarwal were on the team that’s been creating the digital application designed for use by caregivers, which won MIT and Weill Cornell awards.

The idea is to provide an app-based approach to help combat caregiver burnout. The app provides an easy way for caregivers to stay in touch with a network of peers and also find information about specific illnesses affecting the people for whom they’re providing care. Although further development is underway, the current version received the grand prize at MIT Hacking Medicine’s 2018 Grand Hack event. The annual Grand Hack is attended by clinicians, engineers, designers, developers and members of the business community who brainstorm on digital strategies to solve health problems globally. About 240 attended the event in New York City.

Dohle and Agarwal, along with engineers and other experts on the development team, won the grand prize in the rehabilitation and human performance section of the event for their presentation on the app development project. The team also won the Weill Cornell Medicine Award for New Innovation.

SEEING FLEMING FIELD IN A NEW LIGHT

From left: Yonkers Councilman Mike Breen and Mayor Mike Spano; Cristle Collins Judd; Sarah Lawrence staff members Kristin Maile, Matthew Torres, Christopher Ehmer, Scott Miller, Maurizio Grillo and Allen Green; and four members of the Sarah Lawrence soccer teams.

On Nov. 28, officials of Sarah Lawrence College and the city of Yonkers gathered to view Fleming Field on the college campus in a new light: the light from six, 80foot tall LED light towers, which have just been installed to flood the field in brightness while saving electricity.

Sarah Lawrence and the city shared

the cost of this nearly $700,000 capital project. Instrumental in arranging for part of the funding were state Senators Shelley Mayer and Andrea Stewart-Cousins. They invited the college to apply for grants from the State and Municipal Facilities Program (SAM), administered by the state’s Dormitory Authority. As a result, the college re-

ceived $175,000 in SAM grants – $125,000 at Mayer’s request and $50,000 at the request of Stewart-Cousins.

Sarah Lawrence President Cristle Collins Judd said, “We appreciate the state’s recognition of the value we can bring to the community and their support in making these projects possible.”

ENT and Allergy Associates LLP (ENTA), the largest ear, nose, throat, allergy and audiology practice in the country, has opened its newly constructed office in the historic Boyce Thompson Institute Building on 1086 N. Broadway in Yonkers.

A ribbon-cutting event coincided with Nov. 20 being declared “ENT and Allergy

Associates Day” in Yonkers. City officials and members of the City Council also presented a certificate of recognition for ENTA’s 20th anniversary.

ENTA’s new Yonkers location covers more than 8,000 square feet and includes 10 exam rooms, an audiology suite, an allergy department and an immunotherapy

injection area.

Robert Glazer, ENTA’s CEO, praised the city by saying, “From its early beginnings, Yonkers has been a progressive community in the areas of development, business and industry. Today, that progressiveness continues to provide the formula for success.”

LUW AWARDED $5K BY M&T Lifting Up Westchester (LUW), the White Plains-based nonprofit that annually provides services to 3,500 men, women and children dealing with poverty and homelessness, was recently awarded a $5,000 grant from M&T Bank to support its Brighter Futures After-School Mentoring Program.

The mentoring program is a free, educational enrichment program serving youngsters from 5 to 19 who are from homeless or very low-income families. For the past four years, 100 percent of the high school seniors in the program have graduated on time. This compares with an average graduation rate of only 50 percent for homeless students nationally.

Anahaita Kotval, executive director of LUW, thanked M&T Bank and added, “With their partnership, we hope that the students who participate in our program will be the first in their families to go to college, and the last to live in poverty.”

NPW GIVES AWARDS, ELECTS DIRECTORS Tarrytown-based Nonprofit Westchester (NPW) presented its inaugural Keep Westchester Thriving Awards and elected new board members during its annual meeting recently at Doral Arrowwood in Rye Brook.

The Organizational Changemaker Award was presented to The Acceleration Project, which provides business advice to nonprofits, small businesses, entrepreneurs and municipalities. Accepting were CEO Jane Veron and COO Tracy Jaffe.

Elected to NPW’s board of directors were: Karen Cheeks-Lomax, CEO of My Sisters’ Place; Jirandy Martinez, executive director of the Community Resource Center, also known as the Hispanic Resource Center of Larchmont and Mamaroneck; and Heather Miller, executive director of the Thomas H.

The medical center has been serving Yonkers and the surrounding communities of lower Westchester and the northern Bronx since 1888.

RIBBON CUTTING AT ROSA PARKS CAMPUS

From left: Athena Moore of the Manhattan borough president’s office; former state Sen. Ruth Hassell-Thompson; Assemblywoman Inez E. Dickens; William Latimer; CNR Board Chair Gwen Adolph; Fr. Gregory Chisholm, pastor of the Church of St. Charles Borromeo/Chapel of the Resurrection; and Fr. Joseph Flynn.

The legacy of civil rights activist Rosa Parks was honored Nov. 29 when The College of New Rochelle (CNR) celebrated the expansion of its Rosa Parks Campus in Harlem. There was a ribbon cutting for a new $21,000-squaqre-foot building at 313 W. 125 St. The campus is named for the woman who, in 1955, refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man and move to the back of the bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

“Today marks another important mile-

stone in The College of New Rochelle’s long history in Harlem that has seen thousands of women and men from this community earn their college degrees,’’ said CNR President William Latimer. “There is no doubt that education has the power to change lives, families and whole communities. And we are honored to have the opportunity to further strengthen and enrich this vibrant Harlem community through the new, expanded Rosa Parks Campus.”

When CNR opened its Harlem location

in 1981, it was the only four-year college to have a presence there. In 1987, CNR received approval from New York state to establish the Harlem extension as a campus and classes moved into one floor of the new Studio Museum on 125th Street. On Sept.

15, 1987, the campus was officially named in honor Rosa Parks, who attended the dedication ceremony.

More than 5,000 women and men have earned their college degrees at CNR’s Rosa Parks Campus.

IRISH HONOR BANK AND OTHERS Rory Dolan’s restaurant in Yonkers was the location recently for a dinner and dance staged by the Bronx County Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH), the oldest and largest Irish-American organization in the U.S. Honored during the event were Country Bank and Joseph J. Murphy Jr., the bank’s president and CEO, along with other members of the Murphy family. Additional honorees were U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley, Ray O’Hanlon, editor of the Irish Echo, and Taryn Duffy, vice president of communications at Empire City Casino.

Country Bank presented AOH with a $2,300 donation to support the organization’s community efforts.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians in America was established in New York City in 1836. Chapter leaders organize and promote support for social causes that directly impact people of Irish heritage, such as denouncing harmful or negative Irish stereotypes, calling for fair immigration policy or seeking justice for the wrongly accused.

GOLF WRITERS ASSOCIATION DONATES $55K The Metropolitan Golf Writers Association (MGWA), which is headquartered in Elmsford, reports that it has donated more than $55,000 to charitable organizations in 2018. Causes supported included caddie and journalism scholarships, internships and various golf-related organizations.

“The MGWA was founded in 1952 to promote golf journalism and honor the game’s champions,” said Dave Donelson, the organization’s president. “Our charitable donations are a solid expression of those purposes.”

MGWA donated $12,000 each to three caddie scholarship programs in Long Island, New Jersey and Westchester/Connecticut. Donations were also made to the Dave Marr Journalism Scholarship at Columbia University, the Morgan Hoffmann Foundation and other organizations.

Since being founded in 1952, it has raised more than two million dollars for charitable purposes.

Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.
