SEC accuses Pleasantville adviser of exploiting elderly client

While preparing for the opening of its new Berkemeier Living Center designed to care for patients with Alzheimer’s and other dementia issues, Mount Vernon's Wartburg was busy seeking the city's approval for changes to a proposed eight-story independent living building. Wartburg provides a wide range of services to both residents living on its 34-acre campus and people in their own homes. The services include independent living, assisted living, nursing home care, rehabilitation and more.

Yonkers credit union put in conservatorship

Orange counties.

The New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) today took possession of Yonkers Postal Employees Credit Union and appointed the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) as conservator.

Yonkers CU is a New York state-chartered credit union with total deposits of approximately $5.25 million as of Dec. 31, 2022. The credit union serves 486 U.S. Postal Service employees and retirees residing in Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess, and

“DFS placed Yonkers CU into conservatorship in order to protect its members,” said the department in a press statement. “The condition of the credit union has steadily deteriorated since 2018, when current management assumed responsibility for operations. In several examinations conducted jointly by the NCUA and DFS, the institution has been rated critically deficient. The management of Yonkers CU has continually failed to comply with orders issued by the NCUA and DFS to remediate outstanding issues and has created roadblocks for potential mergers with other credit unions that would have benefitted the members of Yonkers CU.”

The DFS added the credit union will continue to operate and members are able to continue with their financial transactions.

The Printhouse sells for $22.75 million

The Printhouse, a 72-unit multifamily property located at 165 Huguenot St. in New Rochelle, has been acquired for $22.75 million.

The six-story property was developed by Megalith Capital Management and opened in 2019. It features 71 studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments, a 2,700-square-foot commercial space, covered parking, a

tors Jose Cruz, Steve Simonelli and Michael Oliver, Director Elizabeth DeVesty and Managing Director Marion Jones. Invel Capital LLC, a Summit, New Jersey-based real estate firm, was the buyer.

“We are excited to play a role in the continued revitalization of the New Rochelle urban core and consider The Printhouse one of the premier apartment communities in this market,” said

Ryan Goldstein, managing principal of Invel Capital. “The property’s distinctive units, robust amenity set and immediate access to transit and neighborhood attractions have made it stand out to renters as a boutique, transit-oriented luxury housing community. We are confident that New Rochelle, which already benefits from strong demographics and rental demand, will continue to thrive as renters, homeowners and investors increasingly pursue opportunity in vibrant and walkable urban and suburban environments.”

Kevin Foley & William Montague of Cushman and Wakefield represented Tenerity, while RiskBridge was repped by Ned Burns and Tom Pajolek of CBRE. Rick Rosencrans of JLL represented Capital Crossing on the new signing. Merritt 7 Park’s ownership of Clarion Partners LLC and Marcus Partners was represented by JLL’s Ed Tonnessen, Betsy Buckley, and Gil Ohls in all transactions.

“The steady leasing activity over the last year shows that even tenants in larger markets such as Stamford see the value at Merritt 7, where they can occupy Class A space with over 70,000 square feet of agile indoor and outdoor amenity spaces at an institutionally owned office campus,” said Margaret Egan, Clarion Partners’ senior vice president of asset management. “As we prepare to unveil our latest amenity upgrades at Building 301, our commitment to providing modernized, top-tier workspace remains unwavering.”

should team up with the university.”

Rehm, the director of brewing operations at Two Roads Brewing in Stratford, has more than a decade of brewing experience. Between his years at Two Roads, Yards Brewing and the Philadelphia Brewing Co., Rehm has seen firsthand just how many different things a successful brewer needs to consider.

After three years imparting wisdom to aspiring brewers, he was recently assigned to the role of director of the brewing science certificate program at Sacred Heart University.

Rehm said that when he started at Two Roads in 2012, he didn’t expect to one day be the director of an educational program though he had hoped to help pass along his knowledge.

“I was employee number two, and it was a real whirlwind,” said Rehm, who earned a combined science and business degree at La Salle University before going into brewing. “It’s been amazing to watch this place grow and to be a part of that, and from the early days we’ve been a partner with Sacred Heart. When the brewing science program was coming to fruition it seemed like a perfectly natural fit that one of the premier breweries in the area

Sacred Heart University launched a brewing science certificate program in May 2020 and Rehm has been a brewing science professor since the program’s inception, but Two Roads’s connection to the school goes back to the 2014 launch of Via Cordis to celebrate the university’s 50th anniversary. The name, Latin for “Road to the Heart,” is given to beers brewed as a collaboration between the two organizations, with the 2023 version coming in the form of a New England IPA.

“There was a need recognized by the university that there were a lot of breweries opening up in the state over the past decade,” added Rehm. “I commend them for being very forward — thinking and progressive.”

The latest iteration of Via Cordis was developed by students in the program making use of the facilities at “Area 2,” a cutting-edge brewing facility where Two Roads develops new flavors and products.

In addition to working closely with brewing students and collaborating on the development of the program, Sacred Heart University professors have helped develop a number of unique yeasts used in signature Two Roads beers, including the yeast that

gives Urban Funk its distinctive notes, which was originally captured during Super Storm Sandy by the professors.

“There was an overwhelmingly positive response to the program, and we’ve had really good attendance ever since,” Rehm added.

The 22-credit certificate course includes instruction on biology, chemistry, management and business topics that are critical to successful brewing operations.

“The program is designed for people trying to get their foot in the door in the brewing industry to looking to start their own brewery,” Rehm explained. After health and safety classes the course explores the raw materials of beer, bringing together hops and barely with yeast and mastering the technology of production.

Rehm noted that beyond all the science and business there are also critical courses on how to conduct a sensory analysis of beer “because we need to say if it came out the way we wanted and go back to the process

Small Loan Act to receive new guardrails

By Justin McGown / jmcgown@westfairinc.com

Updates to the Small Loan Act (SLA) via the Senate Bill 1033, “An Act Concerning Various Revisions to the Banking Statutes," will implement several changes designed to improve access to smaller loans while bringing Connecticut laws in line with those in other states, which have also legislated a strict cap for consumer loan rates.

When this takes effect on Oct. 1, it will raise the small loan limit from $15,000 to $50,000; expands the SLA licensure requirement to cover certain brokering and facilitating activities; codify the predominant economic interest test in the SLA; redefine small loans to include income sharing agreements, refund anticipation loans,

and pension advances; put a 25% cap on the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) on loans of $5,000 to $50,000; and provide a broader definition of finance charges.

The anticipated impact is to address a wider range of expenses that consumers are likely to encounter.

“Many Connecticut residents struggle with student loans, and we understand that this law is an attempt to control the APR on those loans,” said Peter Myers a public policy associate for the Connecticut Business and Industry Association (CBIA). “Connecticut is facing a workforce crisis, and we must enact solutions to grow the population

and figure out how we can improve. It’s a blend of art and science, we spend a lot of time learning all about the enzymes and temperature ranges and process flow and the engineering behind what we do, but I always tell my students at the end of the day, what really matters is: does it taste good or not?”

and make our state more affordable to live and work. Finding ways to help residents struggling with student loans will help them make important investments in housing and invest in their community.”

State Sen. Tom Delnicki, a Republican who represents South Windsor, is both a co-sponsor of the bill and the ranking member of the Banking Committee. He pointed to the issues faced by many customers of People’s United Bank when it merged with M&T Bank last year as a partial impetus for the legislation – particularly the requirement that requires the banking commissioner to “provide timely assistance to any person holding an account at a financial institution concerning any matter related to the financial institution’s merger with another financial institution.”

“I must have handled a good 20 or 30 calls personally just from my district, with folks that couldn’t get access to their money,” Delnicki said, adding the bank responded to his concern by making a contact available for his constituents. He emphasized his hope that the clarifying language should make it easier for the banking commission to

protect consumers during mergers and spur better preparation for mergers.

Delnicki also speculated that the legislation could benefit credit unions.

“We talk about low-cost or no-cost banking and a credit union is perhaps one of the best instruments that an average person or even small business can go to and not have the kinds of fees you would have with a larger bank,” Delnicki said.

Tweaks to rules about advertising for banks with Connecticut charters were also poised to provide some amount of parity between smaller local financial institutions and larger ones by requiring state banking licenses before announcing or promoting small loan services.

“When you look at it in its totality,” Delnicki added, “there are a lot of things in (SB1033) that actually help out the small business folks and the average persons that find themselves having their bank gobbled up by a bigger bank. There’s no piece of legislation that is going to guarantee that a bank’s merger is going to go 100% successful. But you can legislate having guardrails there and have the ability to make sure people have help and that the commissioner can be involved.”

The Colony at Hartsdale fighting roofing contractor over $3.7M job

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

The Colony at Hartsdale Condominium desperately needs to replace leaky roofs but is at a stalemate with the contractor it hired to do the work for $3.7 million.

The Colony fired C.M.V. Company Inc. in June and weeks later filed an emergency action in Westchester Supreme Court to stop C.M.V. and owner Christopher M. Verrone from “absconding with nearly $700,000 of the condo community’s money.”

But Verrone’s attorney, Christopher Riley, told the court that The Colony’s allegations are scurrilous and he is holding the money in an escrow account.

On July 26, Justice Hal B. Greenwald approved a stipulation, signed by attorneys for both sides, that endorses Riley’s request to continue holding the funds and not to move them unless ordered by the court.

The Colony includes 15 buildings with 157 apartments on Fox Glen Drive in Hartsdale.

The condominium had been spending about $200,000 a year to repair roofs, board member Joseph Morelli states in an affidavit. Rather than “continuing to place bandaids on the problem,” the board decided in 2021 to replace the roofs.

In May 2022, The Colony hired C.M.V. of Danbury, Connecticut. The board already knew Verrone, of Katonah, because he had been fixing the leaks since June 2019, and C.M.V. offered the lowest bid and the highest warranty, 30 years.

The Colony borrowed $3.7 million.

Last December, C.M.V. requested $686,500 for purchasing roofing materials, according to the condominium. The Colony issued a check in January but no materials have been purchased and C.M.V. has refused to return the funds.

Morelli also claims that the warranty that C.M.V. eventually provided “was worthless.”

It excluded damages caused by winds greater than 55 miles per hour, and according to the condominium’s attorney, Nancy Durand, it “was supposed to be from a reputable roofing manufacturer but instead was from an entity formed by defendants just two years earlier.”

The Colony fired C.M.V. on June 22, in part, according to Durand, for fabricating a warranty.

On June 26, C.M.V. demanded $989,546 for completed work.

Property manager Eric Schmidt of Stillman Management Realty Group states in an affidavit that C.M.V.’s charges are fabricated.

“No roofing work was performed or could have been performed because C.M.V. never ordered any materials and … no materials were delivered to the property.”

He conceded that the contractor had worked on the swimming pool deck, but says the highest bid for the project was $26,000, nowhere near the $197,677 that C.M.V. is

demanding. Interim roof repairs made from May 2022 to June 2023 are worth $71,000, not the $159,713 that the contractor claims.

“The most C.M.V. could credibly claim to be owed is $97,000,” Schmidt said, “far below the $1 million windfall C.M.V. hopes to realize.”

“C.M.V. provided work, labor and services for which they are due recompense,” Riley said in an email response to a request for his client’s side of the story.

The Colony’s statements “were all untrue,” he said, “no one tried to abscond with anything,” and the stipulation reflects that The Colony “owes my client monies for work performed.”

If the condominium files a formal

complaint, he said, “you can be certain there will be a counterclaim.”

Morelli said in his affidavit that The Colony has reopened bidding for the roofing project, “and now we are right back at square one making incremental repairs.”

Wartburg revises plan for independent living building - Page 1

The Berkemeier Living Center is located at a site on Wartburg's campus where the Berkemeier Auditorium used to stand. It was designed with a total of 64 residential units, 32 private and 32 companion suites.

A few weeks ago, David J. Gentner, Wartburg's president and CEO, announced that John Schuster, who has been with Wartburg for 20 years has been named administrator of the Berkemeier Living Center.

Gentner also announced that Maria Provenzano, who has been with Wartburg since 2015, will follow Schuster as administrator of the assisted living facility Meadowview on the Warburg campus.

A proposal for a new independent living building originally was presented to Mount Vernon officials at the same time the new Berkemeier Living Center had been proposed. On Sept. 8, 2021, Mount Vernon's Planning Board approved the site plan for an eight-story senior independent living building with 210 units. The building was planned to have 135 parking spaces both at grade and in a parking structure. Ground was broken for the Berkemeier Living Center in March of last year, but construction of the independent living building did not begin.

Now, Wartburg has developed an amended site plan that is characterized as being generally similar to what was previously approved,

but with 225 residential units rather than 210. While adding 15 units, the revised plan reduces the number of parking spaces from 135 to 84, a decrease of 51 spaces.

Richard Rosen from the architectural firm Perkins Eastman told Planning Board members that while the total number of units increases with the new plan, the mix of units has been changed to decrease number of the largest two-bedroom units while increasing the number of studio

and one-bedroom units to provide a greater number of apartments that would be affordable to more seniors.

"The height has not changed, the basic footprint of the building is the same," Rosen said. He explained that they found out that during Covid a lot of seniors were essentially confined to their apartments so the new plan introduces bigger windows and additional balconies. He said that the roof of a garage area would be made into an approximately 60 feet by 120 feet green space that would be open to everyone at Wartburg. He said there also would be a terrace on the roof of the building providing a seating area and space where people could socialize. He said that on a good day there would be a good view of New York City from the roof area. He said that there would be protective railings and the seating area would be away from the edges of the roof.

"We've opened up the building a little bit, made it a little bit more open at the entrance and we've separated the building from two sorts of continuous bars into four pavilions with sort of light-filled glass lobbies between them," Rosen said. "It makes it feel a little bit like a collection of smaller buildings and not a larger building."

Gentner said that the architects have been able to shorten the walking distance between where the natural light comes into the building and the elevators, creating a more interesting building.

"We're very sensitive to not impacting the neighbors," Attorney William Null of the White Plains-based law firm Cuddy & Feder said. He pointed out that the shadows expected to be

cast by the new building are the same or lesser than what studies had shown for the previously approved building. Null explained that reducing the number of parking spaces to be provided helps make the building more affordable for seniors and makes sense since many seniors who will live there will no longer drive their own vehicles.

"We reevaluated what it made sense to do to have this building come to fruition," Null said.

Gentner said that Wartburg plans to add an additional vehicle to those currently used to provide transportation for residents and it probably will be another town car. He added that they also are looking into insurance requirements for a program that would provide vehicles for seniors to reserve and drive themselves.

"We want to provide like a small fleet of electric cars for people who don't want to own a car, but if you want to reserve a car there would be one available," Gentner said. "Even seniors who have cars we find sometimes don't even drive them. They just want to know that it's there."

Null said that he's worked on a number of senior housing projects over the decades and found it's fairly common for the cars of residents to just sit unused.

"It's a matter of feeling independent and giving up your independence when you give up your car," Null said. "If they have alternatives of the electric vehicles and some other town cars to get them to shopping or otherwise our hope is that will address the apparent need and the actual need."

Developer of faulty St. Regis Residences in Rye sues architect for $5M

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

The condominium on Old Post Road consists of five buildings with 92 apartments that are marketed to buyers where at least one is 55 or older.

Opra III LLC is demanding $5 million in damages from Perkins Eastman Architects DPC, in a complaint filed Aug. 1 in Westchester Supreme Court, accusing the Manhattan firm of negligence, professional malpractice and breach of contract.

Opra III and its contractors “had to create solutions and self-help designs and specifications on the fly” to overcome failures by Perkins Eastman, the complaint states, “increasing costs and delaying the project.”

Perkins Eastman did not reply to an email asking for its side of the story.

Opra III, an affiliate of Alfred Weissman Real Estate in Harrison, broke ground on the $100 million project in 2018, and finished the project a year-and-a-half late in mid-2022, according to court records.

It is managed by Marriott International and bills itself as the only St. Regis Residences in the world that does not include a hotel.

In the past 16 months, units have sold for $1,275,000 to $3,595,000, according to county property records.

Opra III claims that architectural designs and drawings were filled with errors and omissions that resulted in 13 clarification bulletins, seven plan addendums and about 1,000 requests for information.

Among the alleged shortcoming were drawings that failed to show mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment; elevations; and lighting fixtures.

The developer says Perkins Eastman failed to properly coordinate work with its interior design, structural work and mechanical – electrical – plumbing –

fire protection consultants.

The architectural firm also failed to properly staff the project, the complaint states, properly inspect the work or notify the developer of construction defects.

Opra III says it incurred tremendous costs to correct problems “in order to deliver a project worthy of the St. Regis and Marriott brands.”

The condominium project has

spawned several lawsuits.

For instance, Hudson Meridian Construction Group, the construction manager, sued Opra III for $9.2 million this past March. And several subcontractors have sued Opra III and Hudson Meridian to enforce millions of dollars in mechanics liens.

Hudson Meridian claims in its pending lawsuit that Opra III produced flawed design and engineering documents and failed to pay it, as well as subcontractors, for some of their work.

Opra III broadly denied the allegations and filed counterclaims against Hudson, blaming project delays on the construction manager and subcontractors for providing insufficient resources to complete the project.

“Shortly after their move-in, new residents began to complain about shoddy construction work,” Opra III states in its May 16 answer to the Hudson Meridian lawsuit. “To date, many of the residents’ issues remain unaddressed and the project is still incomplete.”

The developer of the St. Regis Residences in Rye claims that the architect was careless in designing and overseeing construction of the luxury condominium project.

Summer entertaining by design

By Cami Weinstein

Here are a few ways to make your day magical no matter how casual or elaborate it is. For a casual picnic, bring a pretty tablecloth, linen napkins, wine glasses and even a small vase with a bouquet. Alternatively, you can pick some wildflowers or grasses on your way to your picnic setting.

I have a small, portable, roll-up table that can easily be carried and set up at the site. Often if we are at the beach, we bring seating pillows and lanterns, too. For food we usually go with everything premade and packed into the picnic basket. These picnics make a late afternoon into evening memorable.

If you are entertaining at home, divide your yard into zones if you have the room. One area for seating, a great umbrella for shade, a designated cooking area and a dining area. Think of your outdoor space as rooms and decorate accordingly. If you are fortunate to have a pool, dining or

having cocktails by the pool always sets a summery mood. Having a pool with a dedicated pool house or gazebo also adds outdoor interest and helps make outdoor entertaining easier.

There are so many options for outdoor furniture. If you are limited on space, select slingback chairs and lounges so that you don’t have to worry about storing a huge pile of cushions. If you prefer a plush look with seat and back cushions, use outdoor furniture covers or store your cushions in a separate storage unit. This will preserve the life of your cushions and will keep them in good shape. It’s also helpful after a heavy downpour. If the sun comes out, you won’t have to wait for your cushions to dry.

It’s also important to pay close attention to the umbrellas you choose. Select umbrellas that really shade and filter out the sun. Umbrellas that are vented at the top keep air circulating and prevent your umbrella from blowing away in strong winds or storms.

To extend your patio time, consider an outdoor heater. There are so many stylish ones and they make staying out longer on a chilly night a pleasure.

When entertaining at home, try to set up a cocktail and soft drink

station prior to guests arriving. Serve a pitcher of a signature drink and offer wine, beer and soft drinks for the event, again, keeping it simple. Keep food effortless, too, by either featuring foods that can be served at

room temperature or taken right out of the fridge. If you can pre-barbecue some of the food that’s even better. This will leave you more time with your guests instead of sweating over a hot grill.

For larger gatherings, I set up everything buffet-style rather than a formal sit-down. Don’t forget the flowers. I love using flowers from my garden and farm-stand flowers to fill a couple of vases from my collection. Adding a few summer grasses to the bouquet creates a casual feel. Guests will love that your attention to detail made the event so special.

For a more formal party such as a wedding, there are so many event specialists to create your magical day. I recommend interviewing a few of them and see which ones are within your budget and vision. If you are having trouble zeroing in on your vision, they can help with recommendations.

Remember: Summer entertaining is about having a fun time with family and friends, so make it easy. It’s such a short season that I hope you enjoy every second of it.

For more, email Cami@ camidesigns.com or call 914-4476904.

Summer entertaining is in full swing for many of us. Outdoor entertaining lends itself to so many variations. You can keep it as simple as packing a picnic or as complex as a full-service event with caterers and event specialists to make your event really a day to remember.

“Pre-barbecue so you can enjoy more time with your guests.”

SEC accuses Pleasantville adviser of exploiting elderly client

By Bill heltzel / bheltzel@westfairinc.com

The SEC accused Clarice Saw, 56, of using a fraudulent power of attorney document to defraud an 87-year-old New York man, in a civil complaint filed July 28 in U.S. District Court, Manhattan.

Saw began representing the retired janitor in 2020 when she was working for Citigroup Global Markets. The complaint does not name the customer but a court filing in a related case identifies him as Fusheng Jiang.

Jiang could not speak, read or understand English, according to the SEC, and Saw, who shares the same ethnic background, speaks his native language as well as English.

After she became his broker, she became involved in other aspects of his life, such as accompanying him to medical appointments.

Jiang had inherited money from his wife’s life insurance policy, and Saw knew that he did not have any immediate family, according to the complaint.

In 2020, she allegedly persuaded Jiang to sign a document that she presented as a health care proxy but was actually a broader power of attorney.

In September 2021, she resigned from Citigroup, went to work for Cetera Investment Services, and persuaded Jiang to move his account there.

The following November, Jiang was severely injured, hospitalized for a couple of weeks and transferred to a nursing home for seven months.

Saw knew that Jiang had an account with TD Bank, and while he was incapacitated she allegedly used the power of attorney to add her name to Jiang’s bank account as a joint owner and then opened a second TD account in her name only.

She posted a note on Jiang’s brokerage account stating that due to his health he wanted to fully liquidate the

account, the SEC says, and have the cash deposited in his TD account.

Unbeknownst to Jiang, the SEC complaint states, Saw sold $1.7 million in securities and transferred the cash to his TD account and then transferred the funds to her TD account.

A few days later she liquidated the remaining $730,000 in his brokerage account, transferred the funds to his TD account and from there to her TD account.

Shortly thereafter, the SEC alleges, she moved $2.4 million from her TD account to various bank and brokerage accounts in her name.

Jiang, the complaint states, never

authorized the transfers and was unaware of the moves.

Saw used a portion of the allegedly misappropriated money to buy a car, make mortgage payments, withdraw $46,000 from ATMs, and purchase securities.

Attorneys Keith S. Barnett and Steven K. Frankel did not reply to an email asking for Saw’s side of the story.

They represented her in a lawsuit she brought against the SEC in March in Manhattan federal court, seeking to stop the agency from subpoenaing records and compelling her to testify in a criminal investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn.

Saw denied any civil or criminal wrongdoing, according to an affirmation filed by Frankel, and “maintains that she had acted properly during the course of her employment as a financial adviser with Cetera Investment Services LLC and CitiBank.”

He said a portion of Jiang’s monies were gifted to Saw “as a result of her close friendship and long-term care of Mr. Jiang,” pursuant to a duly executed power of attorney.

A week later, Saw dismissed the lawsuit, and since then, no criminal case has been filed.

Saw resigned from Cetera in May 2021, according to a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority BrokerCheck report, as the firm was “looking into allegations of usage of an undisclosed POA (power of attorney) for a client.”

In the civil complaint, the SEC accused Saw of two violations of anti-fraud securities regulations. The agency is asking the court to order her to disgorge all ill-gotten gains and to pay penalties.

A Pleasantville investment adviser imposed herself on the life of an elderly, incapacitated client, according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and transferred $2.4 million from his holdings to her own accounts.

In the civil complaint, the SEC accused Saw of two violations of anti-fraud securities regulations.

Manhattanville moves forward with a new president

By Georgette Gouvei a / ggouveia@westfairinc.com

Latino one.

While achieving diversity is not a problem for Manhattanville, all schools have a stake in the subject of student loan debt, because its specter may deter some students from enrolling in college.

“Enrollment is a tremendous challenge,” Sánchez said, due in part not only to college costs but a declining population in the Northeast – although he added that Manhattanville’s enrollment is projected to be up 3% this fall. Student loan debt also has a profound effect on the economy, he said, because it lessens the debtor’s purchasing power.

These are challenging times in higher education, but you wouldn’t have known it on a high-summer day at Manhattanville College in Purchase. Children engaged in camp activities threaded the lush quad, their voices echoing all the way to Reid Hall – the 1892 Renaissance Revival castle that was once the home of publisher-diplomat Whitelaw Reid and now serves as the college’s administration building.

Inside the hall, cool pink marble dominates the foyer and the magisterial staircase that leads to the offices of new President Frank D. Sánchez, Ph.D., and Provost and Executive Vice President Christine Dehne, a multimedia artist who contributed to two works recently produced on Broadway. (See profiles.)

The June U.S. Supreme Court decisions that struck down affirmative action and the Biden Administration’s student loan forgiveness program have sent some colleges scrambling. But in interviews with Westfair, Sánchez and Dehne said that Manhat-

tanville is poised to meet the educational hurdles of our time.

“Affirmative action affects the super-elite Ivy League schools,” Dehne said, alluding to the suit brought against Harvard College that led in part to the Supreme Court decision. “Nonetheless, we at Manhattanville value diversity.”

Indeed, the 182-year-old college has been ranked the number-one private, nonprofit school in New York state for social mobility for two years by U.S. News and World Report in its Regional Universities North category. The college has earned a designation as a Hispanic Serving Institution by the U.S. Department of Education. Close to 40% of Manhattanville’s students identify as Hispanic. When Sánchez came on board July 3 – with perfect timing, he said jokingly, right before a holiday – he became not only the college’s 15th president but its first

environment, while his father, having served in the Marines, got his GED high school equivalency diploma, a bachelor’s degree and two master’s degrees and became a principal in his hometown.

In just two generations, Sánchez has become the first Latino president of Manhattanville College in Purchase, having served as the first president of color at Rhode Island College (RIC),

High tuition and related expenditures have helped shape a different world today, said Dehne, who oversees academic and student affairs for approximately 1,300 undergraduates and nearly 1,000 graduate students.

“Students are very focused on getting a job,” she said. They’re living at home longer. And their parents are struggling to justify the cost of a college education: They want a return on their investment.

At Manhattanville, tuition is $40,850 for the coming academic year, and 98% of students receive some form of financial aid. https:// www.mville.edu/admissions-and-aid/ financial-aid/office-of-financial-aid.php

Sánchez’s ability to balance academic excellence with its financial underpinnings, demonstrated in his previous roles as president of Rhode Island College (RIC) and vice chancellor of student affairs at City University of New York (CUNY), is one of the reasons he was chosen president, the search committee said.

“As the college adapts to the changing needs of students and the world, it has increasingly embraced an ethos of innovation with new approaches to academic program development, technology, interdisciplinarity, research and the student experience,” Manhattanville Faculty

a school with 7,000 students and an annual budget of $180 million; and, prior to that, as vice chancellor for student affairs at the City University of New York (CUNY), the nation's largest urban public university, with 25 colleges and graduate schools.

At Rhode Island College from 2016 to ‘22, he elevated the school’s U.S. News and World Report social mobility ranking to number two among

Council co-chair Christopher Pappas, Ph.D., a member of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. Pappas, professor of biology and chair of the Division of Natural Science, Mathematics and Computing, added, “The college has made bold, strategic moves in recent years – reimagining the liberal arts for today’s needs, adding programs in nursing, the health sciences, the natural sciences, data science and computer science. The college is well-positioned to propel forward with Dr. Sánchez at the helm.”

In “reimagining the liberal arts for today’s needs,” some colleges and universities have downgraded the arts and humanities in favor of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) courses. But Sánchez said, “I think the humanities, the arts and the fine arts are critical to a socially responsible, engaged citizenry.”

As for making education more affordable, he said that the states play a role in this. He pointed to two programs in Rhode Island – the Rhode Island Promise Scholarship, which enables students right out of high school to pursue a two-year associate’s degree at Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) tuition-free; while the Rhode Island College Hope Scholarship provides last-dollar tuition and mandatory fee payments to in-state students at the college for their junior and senior years, if they are in good academic standing, with a 2.5 GPA (grade point average) or higher, and on track to graduate or earn an approved certificate in four years.

Sánchez said RIC students have also saved money with online textbooks. At Manhattanville, 4+1 programs in some disciplines allow students to earn bachelor’s and master’s degrees in five years, instead of six, another savings. https://www.mville. edu/academics/accelerated-dual-degree-programs.php

There are ways to provide students with more financial help, he said.

New England public institutions, growing student diversity, modernizing academic facilities and significantly increasing fundraising. During his presidency, the endowment at RIC grew from $28 to $42 million and federal and state grants increased to $10.3 million annually.

Being a college professor goes hand in hand with doing research and publishing. For Christine Dehne, provost and executive vice president of Manhattanville College in Purchase, research took a most unusual form when she was a professor in the Department of Communication and Media, teaching video production, animation and multimedia.

“My research was my artwork,” she said of a creative pursuit that would take her all the way to Broadway.

Dehne contributed to two productions by Spellbound Theatre, an immersive artists collaborative, that were recently presented to young children at The New Victory Theater on 42nd Street in Manhattan. She was the devising artist for “Shakespeare’s Stars,” which she described as using the Bard’s own words about the sky to create a multisensory experience for children ranging in age from a few months to 5 and their caregivers. It was staged in the theater’s lobby in a tent with cushions, because actual seating would fold on tiny theatergoers, she said.

She was also responsible for the animations in “Wink,” a show for older children about the adventures of a young girl and her teddy bear. Using shadow puppetry in a traditional theater setting, “Wink” was inspired by Eugene Field’s beloved 1889 poem “Wynken, Blynken and Nod,” about the nocturnal journey of

Said CUNY Chancellor Felix V. Matos Rodriguez, Ph.D.: “During his years at CUNY and throughout his career, Dr. Sánchez has been known as an innovative advocate for

For children and caregivers alike, the works “allow you to enjoy the wonders of childhood,” she said.

At a time when some colleges are cutting arts and humanities courses in favor of seemingly more useful and job-friendly STEM work, Dehne is a good example of what you can do with a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy (from Tufts University), a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree (from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts in Boston) and a Master of Fine Arts degree (from the University of Arizona).

Before coming to Manhattanville – where she served as dean of the School of Arts and Sciences prior to becoming provost -- Dehne taught at Harvard University, Emerson College, Brown University and the University of West Florida, displaying her videos and multimedia work in New York, Massachusetts, California, Canada and Tokyo. With Spellbound, Dehne has been awarded residencies at The New Victory Theater and the Miranda Arts Project Space (MAPSpace) in Port Chester and grants from ArtsWestchester, the Brooklyn Arts Council and The Jim Henson Foundation. She was the artist/ co-creator of the show “The World Inside Me,” which was co-produced with the Chicago Children's Theatre and staged at the Chicago Children's Theatre, Miami Theatre Center (MTC) and then at The New Victory

With his passion for making higher education ever more equitable, inclusive and responsive to the needs of an increasingly diverse student population, Sánchez is poised and well-equipped to lead Manhattanville College to a bright future.”

“Passion” is perhaps the key word in that statement. Talking with Sánchez about his move to Manhattanville was like having a tutorial with a favorite professor. His is a warm, accommodating presence contained in the compact form of the college wrestler he once was. He brimmed with enthusiasm for his new assignment. Why did he want to come to Manhattanville?

In part because of its “ethos of innovation in curriculum,” he said, including interdisciplinary self-designed majors; and the Center for Design Thinking (CDT), https://www.mville. edu/academics/center-for-design-thinking/

center-for-design-thinking.php where students, faculty and community members come together at the President’s Cottage to take a multidisciplinary approach to creating practical solutions to some of today’s problems.

Sánchez has long been interested in students. At the University of Nebraska-Lincoln where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, he was an RA (resident adviser), a peer mentor to dormitory students. He has a Master of Science degree in student affairs and higher education from Colorado State University, and a Ph.D. in higher education administration from Indiana University, Bloomington.

His well-rounded approach to education can be seen in his service in Rhode Island, where he was a member of the United Way of Rhode Island board of directors, the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce, the Providence Performing Arts Council and the NCAA Division III Presidents' Council.

The father of three grown sons, Sánchez may be new to Manhattanville and Purchase, but he’s not new to Westchester County. When he was at CUNY, he lived in Pelham for three years.

Apiary at The Scarsdale Public Library is the bee’s knees

By Jeremy Wayne / jwayne@westfairinc.com

I was late to the party when I recently rejoined the Scarsdale Public Library, nearly two years after it reopened following its 10-year, $21 million renovation plan and implementation. Not only was I in for an exceptional cultural joy, but the library – with its state-of-the-art design and impressive inventory – offers another treat too, a culinary one.

That’s to say, a superb café, which operates as an outlet of the Apiary café in Larchmont. At the library, the ground-floor eatery, which you must pass through on entering in order to reach the books, is a bright space with large windows overlooking the library garden and front parking lot. With seating arranged at a right-angle along two walls – but without actual tables, other than one long “high” table – the space can feel a little bare and exposed. But no matter, it’s clean and comfortable. Imagine a small, business-class lounge in a provincial airport with a self-regulating hush and you will get the picture.

Over the course of several visits

I’ve tried breakfast dishes with eggs cooked to order, fresh and imaginative salads and exceptionally good sandwiches. My favorites among them include the breakfast burrito (eggs with black beans); an arugula salad (with raw cow’s-milk cheese from upstate New York, endive and dried cherries); and a brie and fig jam panino on first-class sourdough. I should also mention the umami-rich

soba noodle salad with sesame, the schmakhaft German potato salad with bacon and the nicely “hot” turkey chili. I could go on.

The coffee, from Coffee Labs Roasters in Tarrytown, is excellent.

The dishes are prepped each morning up in the original Apiary café in Larchmont and driven over to the library to be finished off before being served – grilled, chilled or otherwise – by Apiary at The Scarsdale Public Library manager Eddie, who runs the show as a one-man-band. It does mean waiting a few minutes if orders are in ahead of yours.

The café is a boon to students working at the library, to people working from home who fancy a change of scene, and to locals generally, as well as, I imagine, to library staff. There is nowhere else like it between Hartsdale and downtown Scarsdale. I even know of two couples who come in for a regular bridge game, although the slightly odd seating arrangements (for bridge) and also having to keep your voice down would hardly, I think, be conducive to a relaxed game.

Interested to see what the Apiary mothership in Larchmont was like, I took a ride over there. The first thing I noticed was that, on a Friday lunchtime in mid-August, the village was all but deserted, the French-American Larchmonters doubtless having upped sticks and flown off to Brittany or the Côte d’Azur for the duration of the month. (Something of an irony, since

Larchmont was once a summer resort itself.)

That said, one of the café’s three tables was taken when I arrived, so I was not entirely alone, and Apiary founder Joerg Zehe, a French Culinary Institute graduate -- who did not know me or that I was coming in, since I usually dine anonymously – welcomed me like a long-lost friend.

The Larchmont menu is even longer than the one at the Scarsdale Public Library, with additions like turkey confit hash or avocado toast with smoked salmon for breakfast and fishcakes and panko–crusted chicken cutlets for lunch. Zehe invited me to try some watermelon gazpacho, which was a special of the day – less punchy than a fully fledged gazpacho, it nevertheless had great balance and a nice touch of heat – and I enjoyed another special, tender brisket in a brioche bun, a dish that he told me will soon be available at the library, too. He doesn’t make his own breads or croissants, because he doesn’t need to. Baked goods come from the Balthazar Bakery in Manhattan. You can’t say fairer than that.

When I told Zehe how much I enjoyed the library café and asked him if he planned more openings, in libraries or in other venues, he said he did not rule it out. He mentioned that Apiary already has a successful catering arm and that while he has been approached by several interested parties, including a shopping mall in Stamford, an ideal brick-and-mortar third venue has not yet presented itself.

Unlike Apiary at The Scarsdale Public Library, with its clean lines and ample seating, the eight-year-old original Apiary is showing age. The

decoration, such as it is, comprises a couple of walls of white subway tiles, a pair of milk churns, a naïf painting of a man with a dog and three large menu blackboards. Tchotchkes take up a good deal of the counter space and the front door and street window are covered in stickers and signs. Music is courtesy of an R&B radio station. The clutter is a pity, though, because Apiary has some of the best food and fairest prices in what is known as the Larchmont Alfresco area, incorporating Larchmont and Chatsworth Avenues.

In my not-so-humble but I hope practical opinion, doing a “Marie Kondo” on the place, namely clearing everything out and starting again with a clean slate, could make a very good but older café as appealing as its newer offspring.

Apiary at The Scarsdale Public Library is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, with slightly shorter hours on weekends. The library venue also offers curbside pickup. For more on this and Apiary in Larchmont, visit apiarylarchmont.com.

At a signing ceremony on Aug. 2, Kingston's Mayor Steven Noble put the city's new form-based zoning code into effect. The process of creating the new code took about three years. Kingston's Common Council had unanimously approved adopting the new code the day before the signing ceremony took place. A form-based zoning code elevates the importance of the form and function of buildings and puts less emphasis on land use.

“I am very proud of the zoning code, which has taken into consideration best practices from other municipalities and ample community feedback,” Noble said. “This new code is truly the vision of our community. It will encourage incremental growth and smart development across the city, while preserving our open spaces. Crucially, this code reform will reduce barriers to the creation of new housing at every level and will help us combat the housing crisis.

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Ultimately, these changes to the code will make a more equitable city for all.”

The new code creates what is called a "Minor Site Plan Review Process" designed to streamline the review process for development proposals. It legalizes a number of mixed-use development types, legalizes multifamily and infill development and allows townhouses, duplexes and live-work developments throughout the city. The code also eliminates minimum parking requirements.

Noble characterized the new code as

the most important land use decision by the Common Council since the previous zoning code was adopted in the 1960s.

"I enthusiastically endorse the vision proposed by the code to rightsize parking requirements, improve walkability, preserve open space, encourage infill development that is compatible with Kingston’s historic urban form, and meet other planning goals outlined in the city’s comprehensive plan," Noble said. "Most of all, this rezoning is about reducing

barriers to the development of new housing and encouraging the development of different housing types in greater quantity. I thank the Common Council for moving swiftly in considering the proposed zoning code, our wonderful consultants at Dover Kohl, and all the residents who participated in the drafting and adoption process. Crucially, this code reform will reduce barriers to the creation of new housing at every level and will help us combat the housing crisis. Ultimately, these changes to the code will make a more equitable city for all.”

Common Council President Andrea Shaut said the new code represents Kingston stepping away from zoning that was historically based on racial segregation and changing to a community-driven, forward-thinking code.

"The form-based code will assist in affordability, promote walkability, encourage small businesses, and give a true sense of neighborhood to Kingston," Shaut said.

Orange County building $24M Medical Examiner's Office

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

A groundbreaking ceremony for a new building to house the Orange County Medical Examiner's Office was held Aug. 3. The site is adjacent to the county's Emergency Services Center at 22 Wells Farm Road in Goshen. The Medical Examiner's Office currently is housed in the Emergency Services building.

The 18,175-square-foot facility is projected to cost $24 million with most of the funding coming from the federal government through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).Orange County has received $74,770,002 in ARPA funds. The building is expected to be completed in the third or fourth quarter of 2024.

In addition to autopsy rooms, the new facility will include spaces designed for the comfort of people who come in

to identify bodies.

“The new Medical Examiner’s Office is necessary for our growing county and will provide comfort and compassion for grieving loved ones during a very difficult time,” Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus said. “It will allow Medical Examiner Dr. Jennifer Roman and her staff to conduct their work in a cutting-edge facility designed to best serve our community.

In 2022, Orange County's Medical Examiner’s Office investigated 1,081 deaths. It conducted 514 autopsies and external examinations of bodies.

“The Medical Examiner’s Office plays a critical role in investigating deaths, but they do much more,”

Groundbreaking for Orange County Medical Examiner's Office.

Orange County Health Commissioner Dr. Alicia Pointer said. “Some of their functions include collection of data related to the opioid epidemic, child fatality review and prevention, and preparation for mass casualty events. This new facility will allow the Medical Examiner’s Office to continue to do their work with professionalism and respect as they face new challenges and increased

responsibilities.”

Participating in the groundbreaking event in addition to Neuhaus, Pointer and Roman were Deputy County Executive Harry Porr, Chairwomen of the County Legislature Katie Bonelli, Department of Public Works Commissioner Erik Denega and Legislators Barry Cheney, Joe Minuta, Paul Ruszkiewicz, Kathy Stegenga, Janet Sutherland and Pete Tuohy.

Push in Putnam to combat fentanyl

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat who is one of the approximately 61 sponsors of the bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act that was introduced in the Senate by Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, was at Philipstown Town Hall in Putnam County's Cold Spring on July 28. She went there to hail Senate passage of the Fentanyl Act as part of the Defense Authorization Bill. The House of Representatives adjourned for the August vacation without voting on its bipartisan version of the measure.

“No community, including Cold Spring, has been left untouched by the deadly impacts of silent killers like fentanyl. Just last year, the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) seized enough deadly doses of fentanyl in New York for more than three times the state’s population,” Gillibrand said. “The bipartisan FEND Off Fentanyl Act would target both cartels and individuals involved in producing and trafficking these dangerous drugs. It will better empower the government to sanction drug traffickers and combat money laundering schemes that make this trade profitable."

The bill mandates a number of actions beginning with having the government declare that the international trafficking of fentanyl is a national emergency. It requires the president to sanction transnational criminal organizations and drug cartels’ key members engaged in international fentanyl trafficking and allows the president to use proceeds of forfeited, sanctioned property of fentanyl traffickers to pay for law enforcement efforts.

The bill also enhances the ability of the Treasury Department to act more effectively against money laundering tied to fentanyl trafficking.

Fentanyl cannot be detected by taste, smell, or sight when mixed with other drugs. The synthetic opioid is 50 times stronger than heroin. Last year, the Drug Enforcement Administration seized more than 379 million doses of fentanyl across the U.S., enough of the drug to kill everyone living in the U.S. With Gillibrand at Philipstown

Assembly speaker receives Newburgh briefings

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

New York State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie visited Newburgh on Aug. 2 with Asemblyman Jonathan Jacobson whose 104th District includes Newburgh. They received briefings on a project taking shape for a 35-acre city park and the activities of the Newburgh Urban Food and Farm Initiative (NUFFI).

Heastie and Jacobson visited with Executive Director Virginia Kasinki of the NUFFI. The group advises community groups and individuals on urban gardens and provides free or low-cost produce to residents. NUFFI received a $10,000 allocation in the state budget that was put there by Heastie's Assembly Majority. The group also operates the

Downing Park Urban Farm (DPUF), where community members can take part in educational programs and participate in planting, growing and harvesting food that is donated to local food banks or sold at the Newburgh Farmers Market. DPUF reported that during Covid in 2020 it grew approximately 4,500 pounds of food at the farm and donated that food to 15 different programs in Newburgh.

“There is something special about neighbors helping neighbors, and the farm seeks to do that each and every day by providing produce to our neighbors that need it the most,"

Jacobson said about NUFFI and the Downing Park farm. Heastie and Jacobson also were briefed on a more solemn project being developed for Downing Park. The project is for the Newburgh African American Burial Ground, which will provide a permanent resting place for the remains of African Americans that were removed from an old burial ground.

In 2008, remains of men, women and children were discovered by construction workers at the City of Newburgh Courthouse located at the corner of Broadway and Route 9W. The city courthouse previously was the Broadway School that was built in 1908 on a piece of land that once was a burial ground for African Americans.

inally was built, excavations uncovered human remains. Newspaper reports at the time indicated that the remains were to be relocated to two sites: the Alms House burial ground located at Snake Hill on city-owned property, and at Woodlawn Cemetery on Union Avenue, a private facility. It is unknown how many individuals were actually moved, and how many were left in the existing burial ground at the Broadway School location. During the 2008 courthouse renovation project, excavations uncovered skeletal human remains from several individuals. These remains were turned over to the Orange County Medical Examiner's office, which determined that they came from a historic cemetery.

A number of citizens have worked to ensure that the remains will be appropriately reinterred in a suitable location. After many meetings and study, the city and the citizens group agreed that a burial ground should be created in an area near the top of Downing Park that has sweeping Hudson River views. City officials took Heastie and Jacobson on a tour of the area and discussed plans for creating the burial ground.

Harnessing data to build a winning marketing plan

BY JoAnne Gritter

Marketing and advertising are no different, and the key ingredients for a successful marketing plan have not changed much.

Consider that as of 2012, 2.5 exabytes of data were being created daily ― more data every second than the entire internet contained in 1992. Flash forward 10 years. As of 2022, 329 exabytes of data were being created daily. Filtering, analyzing and utilizing this data has become a precise science.

How Data Fits In

Preparing for a marketing plan now involves crucial groundwork: collecting and analyzing relevant data to drive informed strategies and decision-making. With leadership expecting the draft plan in August, it's never too early to start the process as early as May. Often, feedback on the plan isn't received until October, and final approval may not come until December. This typical planning cycle underscores the importance of initiating data gathering and trend analysis early on to stay ahead.

Start by breaking down your data into categories, such as:

For starters, there is the need to establish the overarching goals and objectives of your company for the upcoming year – don’t lose sight of these targets. Next, identify and gain a deep understanding of your audience and customer segments.

Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the market landscape, including industry trends, competitive insights and market opportunities. This will enable

you to perform a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) of your own business to identify internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as external opportunities and threats.

From there, determine the marketing budget for the year and allocate resources accordingly. Outline the strategies and tactics you will employ to achieve your marketing objectives. Define the specific metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) that will be used to measure the success of your marketing efforts. Create a timeline or calendar outlining the key milestones, activities and campaigns

Budget resourceandallocation

Review historical sales and revenue data to understand past performance and identify trends. Evaluate the performance of past marketing campaigns across different channels and tactics.

Collect financial data related to marketing expenditures and allocate budget based on performance and priorities.

Gather information about your customers, including demographics, psychographics, purchasing behavior, and preferences. To generate thoughtful customer insights, customer data will be necessary.

throughout the year.

Before setting your plan in motion, establish a system to regularly monitor and evaluate the performance of your marketing plan. Expect to make adjustments along the way.

Analyze your competitors’ marketing tactics, product offerings, pricing, and positioning. Understand their engagement and reputation by reviewing their online presence, social media activities, and customer feedback. What actionable data can you gather to learn from others’ successes and failures?

Utilize web analytics tools to track website traffic, user behavior, conversions, and engagement metrics.

Gather feedback from customers through surveys, interviews, or online reviews.

Seek input from key stakeholders within your organization, such as sales teams, product managers, and executives. Make sure everyone understands the data at hand. Make it digestible and relevant. What’s important to a sales leader is different from what’s important to your CEO.

Conduct in-depth market research to gain insights into industry trends, market size, customer demands, and the competitive landscape. Industry reports, studies, and benchmarks will also help you understand broader market trends, consumer behavior, and best practices.

By investing time and effort into the pre-marketing plan prep work, you'll be equipped with the necessary insights and data to develop a targeted marketing plan that maximizes your resources and drives meaningful results. With a well-informed and strategic approach, you can navigate the challenges of the modern marketing landscape and achieve your business objectives.

Park renovations unveiled in Yonkers

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

Yonkers,

On Aug. 9, there was a ribbon-cutting marking the opening of phase one of renovations at the 25-acre Trevor Park on Ravine Avenue. When all three phases of the work are completed, the park will have new basketball courts, new tennis courts, new benches and walkways and the replacement of the playground surfacing. The restrooms and playing fields will be redone along with a play area designated for dogs. There also will be new fitness equipment installed and new bleachers. The first phase of the work at Trevor Park had an estimated cost of $1.1 million.

Just a week earlier, on Aug. 2, a ribbon cutting had been held at Pitkin Park, located at 87 Locust Hill Ave., to mark the completion of renovations there.

Parks Commissioner Steve Sansone said that Pitkin Park, adjacent to the

Martin Luther King Jr. Academy is heavily used by the community and the school. He described it as being the cornerstone of the neighborhood.

"The Pitkin Estate was the home to a prominent Yonkers family up until the 1930s," Sansone said. "George Pitkin first purchased the property in 1880, which extended from Locust Hill to North Broadway and included a greenhouse and small buildings used for guests and storage. He was in the dry goods business. He was also vice president of St. John's Hospital as well as the president of the East New York Boot and Shoe Manufacturing

Rodriguez named Interim superintendent

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

The Yonkers Board of Education trustees have appointed Luis Rodriguez to the post of Interim Superintendent of Schools. Superintendent Edwin Quezada retired on July 3 after 25 years with the school system. Rodriguez is due to serve a one-year term in the position.

A search for a permanent superintendent is underway with the school board retaining the firm Hazard Young Attea & Associates to assist in the search. Hazard Young describes itself as having worked in 42 states and assist-

Company."

Sansone said that George Pitkin died in 1886 but his wife lived on the property until 1930 and left the property to her grandchildren who sold the land for the park to the city of Yonkers. The park and playground were dedicated to the city's Parks Department in 1947 and later was named for the Pitkin Family.

"The park needed work; we identified the needs," Sansone said. "Last year we paved the courts and walkways thanks to our friends in the engineering department. We have now spent an additional $415,000 and have added new

playground features, rubber matting, site work and improved drainage. The kids were so excited this weekend they broke through the cones and caution tape and have already started using it."

Mayor Mike Spano said that his administration and the City Council made a commitment to rebuilding the city's parks, especially the ones on the city's West Side because those parks had been ignored for far too long. Spano explained that the council was especially interested in renovating parks located next to city schools to make them more inviting for school children.

Rodriguez recently expressed support for Mayor Spano's Backpack to School program, now in its 12th year, which invites residents to make backpack and school supply donations for Yonkers Public School students most in need. Donations are accepted at Yonkers libraries and police precincts through Aug. 20.

ed more than 1,600 school districts.

“We look forward to a successful collaboration (with Dr. Rodriguez) as we continue to strive for the best for the Yonkers Public Schools community," Board of Education President Rev. Steve Lopez said. Rodriguez moved into the interim superintendent position on Aug. 1 after having served for nine years as assistant superintendent for special education

and pupil support services. Prior to joining the Yonkers Public Schools, Rodriguez was an official in the New York City Department of Education. He previously was an assistant professor at New York Medical College in Valhalla. He also was an adjunct faculty member at Fordham University and Southern Connecticut State University. Rodriguez holds a Master of Science in Urban Leadership & Education degree from Mercy College and a Master of Public Health degree from Columbia University. He received a law degree from Fordham University School of Law.

“The cost burden of sending students back to school can cause significant financial stress on families, particularly those with multiple school–age children. Our students often see the strain on the family budget, and that can diminish the excitement of returning to school,” Rodriguez said, adding that the program "allows our families and students to share the excitement of returning to school, focused on the upcoming school year."

A survey on the cost of school supplies in 2023 by the National Retail Federation found that families with children in grades K-12 expected to spend more than $890 on average for school items in 2023, approximately $25 more than last year's record of just over $864.

YONKERS IS THE NEW HOLLYWOOD ON HUDSON

The unprecedented renaissance underway in the City of Yonkers is now premiering a spectacular new sequel! Yonkers is Hollywood on Hudson, home to the new 1 million square foot Lionsgate Studios complex, the largest modern film and TV production facility on the East Coast.

Grads head for college dorms with supplies through YPIE

While getting ready for its 16th annual gala to be held Sept. 21 at the Barbara Walters Campus Center at Sarah Lawrence College, the nonprofit Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE) has been helping Yonkers students get ready to go off to college. It describes its mission as helping students confront the challenges of a low-income, urban school district by providing families with equitable access to the critical tools and services necessary for college success.

One regular program of YPIE is to help ensure that numerous low-income students from the Yonkers Public Schools have the supplies they need for on-campus success. This year’s selected recipients, many the first in their families to attend college, will be enrolled at Boston University, Mount Holyoke College, Stony Brook University, SUNY Binghamton and the University of Virginia among other schools.

For the 11th year, the Junior League of Bronxville partnered with YPIE to help the students make transition to campus life. Students were given a gift card to Value

Drugs in Bronxville and a gift card to Target to complete their college dorm shopping.

YPIE again this year worked with the organization Grad Bag and for a second year with Scarsdale High School graduate Katie Han.

Grad Bag is organization that collects and refreshes dorm room essentials. It provided items for more than 100 YPIE students that were donated by graduating students from six area colleges and recycled by volunteers and student interns.

“The success of Grad Bag relies on students giving back to students,” according to Liz Gruber, co-founder of the organization. “We have students who have received items through Grad Bag who are now coming back to donate items for incoming college students as well as many who work for Grad Bag over the summer.”

Last year, while a high school senior, Han had helped YPIE provide dorm supplies and this year she asked for help from the community and gathered items such as desk lamps, sheets,

comforters, power strips, shower caddies and hampers for YPIE to distribute through its YPIE College Zone. Han also donated Amazon gift cards for the students and established a special Boys Dorm Drive shopping day for male students. She'll be attending the University of California at Irvine.

"It is important for me to make a difference in the lives of others by supporting and guiding others like the way my parents have guided me

in my journey so far,” Han said. “My community quickly responded to my request, including adult members and my high school peers."

She said that all young people are entitled to a quality education regardless of the zip code in which they're brought up.

“It is always important to pay it forward and always believe that we can accomplish tasks when we have the right mindset,” Han said.

YIDA takes action on incentives

By Peter Katz / pkatz@westfairinc.com

The Yonkers Industrial Development Agency (YIDA) at its July 27 meeting had two senior citizen housing situations on the agenda.

The YIDA voted final approval of a mortgage recording tax exemption of $255,000 for a 147-unit apartment building located at 2 Father Finian Sullivan Drive in Yonkers.

Known as Monastery Manor Senior Apartments, the building owner Monastery Manor Associates also received YIDA approval for a seven-year extension of the existing payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreement. Extension of the PILOT was requested so that the building could be refinanced and maintained

as affordable senior housing.

Preliminary approval was given to a request from 155 Elliot LLC for financial incentives for a development at 155 Elliot Ave. that was the one-time home to Congregation Sons of Israel. The developer is putting up a three-story residential building with 24 units.

The plans show 10 studio apartments, six one-bedroom units, four two-bedroom units and four three-bedroom units. The design of the new building preserves the facade of the former synagogue. The developer requested a recording tax exemption of $67,500 from the YIDA.

Regional college and university roundup

By Phil Hall / phall@westfairinc.com

While the Fall 2023 semester is still a few weeks away, the regional colleges and universities are not taking it easy during their final weeks of summer. Here is a roundup of some of the most prominent updates from the local institutions of higher education.

from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation will enable 30 Sacred Heart University nursing students to complete their degrees.

The Dr. Susan L. Davis, R.N., & Richard J. Henley College of Nursing will apply the funds to the new Sustaining Hearts Scholarship for juniors and seniors pursuing their bachelor’s degrees in nursing. Academically and financially eligible students with $5,000 scholarships, and a committee has been created to disseminate funds.

DUTCHESS COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Dutchess Community College is participating in a grant-funded initiative that covers the educational costs for a Direct Support Professional (DSP) credential program for new and incumbent workers. The first cohort will start classes on Aug. 28.

The initiative is designed to advance statewide efforts to retain and grow New York’s direct support workforce to provide quality care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. The three-tiered credential program aligns with national certification standards set forth by the National Alliance for Direct Support Professionals, and students will receive college credit that can be applied toward a certificate and/ or associate degree in the college's human services program.

“We’re proud to introduce this new program, which stands to make a difference in the lives of many in our community and throughout New York state," said Dr. Peter Grant Jordan, the college's president. "As a community college, we are committed to making education accessible and meeting the needs of our students and the broader society. The DSP program does just that."

“One of the biggest hurdles for nursing students is the cost of a college education. Their debts hamper their ability to progress without working long hours while in college or forgoing the purchase of vital classroom materials, such as textbooks.”

A committee will oversee the Sustaining Hearts Scholarship, create the selection process and disseminate funds, starting this summer. The financial aid office will ensure that selected students, who must have at least a 3.0 GPA, meet the program’s income criteria.

“One of the biggest hurdles for nursing students is the cost of a college education," said Cynthia O’Sullivan, associate dean for academic affairs and global nursing. "Their debts hamper their ability to progress without working long hours while in college or forgoing the purchase of vital classroom materials, such as textbooks.”

Fellow in Mexico City. He received his law degree from Yale Law School and his Masters of Environmental Management degree from Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.

"The Elisabeth Haub School of Law has a reputation around the globe as the premier institution for environmental law,” said Rink. “I look forward to sharing my passion for climate law with the Haub Law community and to collaborating with its top-tier faculty and students to develop ideas and strategies for effectively combatting the climate crisis.”

WESTERN CONNECTICUT STATE UNIVERSITY

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has awarded a $250,000 Bay Watershed Education and Training (B-Wet) grant for a watershed research project conducted by graduate students from Western Connecticut State University (WCSU) in collaboration with Danbury High School students and the Danbury Department of Public Works.

The research will determine if carp previously introduced into Squantz Pond and Candlewood Lake to control invasive Eurasian watermilfoil resulted in having a negative impact on native specifies of vegetation.

BARD COLLEGE

Bard College has partnered with Montefiore Einstein to open a new public early college high school this fall in the Bronx.

The new Bard Early College Bronx will introduce students to biomedical science and research as well as career pathway programs. Graduating students will receive both a New York State Regents Diploma and an Associate in Arts degree from Bard College.

The school opens in September in the Crotona neighborhood in the South Bronx under the leadership of Dr. Siska Brutsaert as principal.

“Over the last 20 years, Bard College has partnered with public school systems to open early colleges in New York, Newark, New Orleans, Cleveland, Baltimore, Hudson, and Washington, D.C.,” said Dr. Dumaine Williams, Bard College vice president for early colleges. “This new partnership with the New York City Department of Education and Montefiore Einstein is a tremendously exciting opportunity to expand access to rigorous and intellectually inspiring opportunities – particularly those in the biomedical sciences –to high school students in the Bronx.”

PACE UNIVERSITY

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University announced the addition of Paul Rink as a visiting assistant professor of environmental law.

Rink comes to Pace from the climate law firm Our Children’s Trust, which represents young people from around the world in strategic and provides legal assistance to secure their right to a safe climate system. Earlier in his career, he was a forest restoration consultant for Conservation International in Australia and researched the impact of business interests on international environmental law as a Fox

The project is being coordinated by Fairfield County high school science teachers David Herberger and Gregory Lewis, who are currently pursuing Master of Science degrees in WCSU’s Integrative Biological Diversity program; the Danbury High School students involved in the research are Halle Alysandratos, Alondra Lenz, Tumiso Leshiba and Camila Gonzalez.

“The situation with vegetation in the lake isn’t really talked about that much, and that’s a big surprise,” said Herberger. “There are a lot of people who don’t know what’s going on in their own backyard, and this could have a big effect on the entire lake and the whole community. The stakeholders don’t really understand the consequences of what could happen if there were no more aquatic plants in the lake.”

UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT

The University of Connecticut School of Law is opening the Transactional Law Clinic, which will offer pro bono services to small businesses, nonprofit agencies, and individuals in transactional and regulatory matters.

The clinic, which has enrolled students for the fall semester, is the newest of seven in-house clinics operated by UConn Law faculty to serve the community while training law students. Among the services offered by the new clinic are contract review and negotiation, startup governance and filings,

entity formation and document drafting, and industry-specific regulatory advice for dealing with local, state and federal agencies.

Casey Faucon, who launched a similar clinic at the University of Alabama School of Law, has joined the UConn Law faculty as clinic director and associate professor.

“Legal costs are so expensive for small businesses,” Faucon said. “We want to be able to provide help to the community.”

Iona University is now offering a 33% tuition discount through its Archdiocesan Scholarship for Graduate Studies award to support current Catholic school educators pursuing a master’s degree.

Qualified applicants may enroll in any of Iona’s graduate degree programs. The scholarship is open to full-time teachers, administrators and guidance counselors employed by Catholic elementary and secondary schools in the Archdiocese of New York and neighboring dioceses, as well as members of the clergy.

“With Iona’s proud Catholic tradition, and teachings of Blessed Edmund Rice engraved in its history, it’s very fitting that we offer a scholarship to empower this current generation of Catholic school educators,” said Shantell Smith, director of graduate admissions for the School of Arts and Science. “Now is the perfect time for qualified educators to set

themselves apart from the rest with a graduate degree from Iona.”

FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY

Fairfield University has announced the launch of a new Master of Science program in financial technology within the Charles F. Dolan School of Business.

The new program begins in the fall 2023 semester and will be available in both a fully online and hybrid format. Students will study both financial principles and technological advancements with topics including blockchain and its applications, cryptocurrencies, artificial intelligence, algorithmic trading, strategic management of technology and innovation, and ethical considerations for the regulation of fintech.

“As technology continues to revolutionize every aspect of our lives, the need for forward-thinking individuals who can bridge the gap between finance and technology has never been more crucial,” said Dr. Katsiaryna Bardos, chairperson of the finance department and associate professor of finance. “Our program is designed to address this demand head-on, offering students an unparalleled educational experience that blends theoretical frameworks with practical applications in cutting-edge financial technologies.”

Carolan will also work to enhance the experience for undergraduate education majors. A former high school teacher, Carolan is a scholar with research interests in the field of the sociology of education, bringing insights into the intersection of education and society. His research has examined the complex ways in which high school size, grade span, policies and institutional practices impact student success and how social factors, such as class, race, gender and culture, influence educational access and outcomes. He has expertise in

Fallscan irrevocably alter lives, especially for senior citizens who can go from being independent to needing constant care. “That is why preventing falls is a top priority,” said Chief Medical Officer Mooyeon Oh-Park, M.D., physiatrist at Burke Rehabilitation when addressing seniors at Waterstone of Westchester last week.

Oh-Park’s presentation was the first in a series of educational programs Burke is planning at Waterstone as part of a new partnership to bring useful health information to its residents.

“Keeping our residents happy and productive is a top priority for us here at Waterstone,’’ said Lauren Freifeld, executive director of Waterstone of Westchester, a luxury senior living community in White Plains. “Our connection with Burke and White Plains Hospital is a valuable resource for this community.’’

“We are excited to forge this new educational partnership with the Waterstone of Westchester and share our expertise with its residents,” said Burke’s Executive Director Scott Edelman, MBA, CPA, CFE. “Burke is a leader in rehabilitation and through this series, we can help participants live safe and healthy lives.”

Oh-Park stressed how important it is for everyone, but especially older adults to prevent falls. She said that by 2030 adults over the age of 65 will make up 20% of the population and falls will have a marked impact on the state of health care. Burke works to help its patients not only recover from falls but strengthen balance and posture to prevent them.

Waterstone of Westchester features 132 beautifully appointed residences and supportive services designed to provide seniors with independence, connection and socialization. Residents enjoy a full array of amenities and services and also have access to home care through an on-site partnership with VNS Westchester.

WESTCHESTER RESIDENT SERVING IN NAVY

Lt. Teresa DeVino, a native of Yorktown Heights, New York, is serving aboard USS Wayne E. Meyer, a U.S. Navy warship, operating out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

DeVino, a 2016 graduate of John F. Kennedy Catholic High School, joined the Navy two and a half years ago.

“I was introduced to leadership through coaching volleyball in high school,” said DeVino. "I wanted to continue to learn and practice leadership, so I joined an ROTC program in college. This inspired me to later join the Navy."

Today, DeVino relies upon skills and values similar to those found in Yorktown Heights to succeed in the military.

Wayne E. Meyer is a guided-missile destroyer that provides a wide range of warfighting capabilities. The destroyer is a multimission ship that can operate independently or as part of a larger group of ships at sea. The ship is equipped with tomahawk missiles, torpedoes, guns and a phalanx close-in weapons system.

More than 300 sailors serve aboard Wayne E. Meyer. Their jobs are highly specialized, requiring both dedication and skill. The jobs range from maintaining engines to handling weaponry along with a multitude of other assignments that keep the ship mission-ready at all times, according to Navy officials.

With 90% of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity of the United States is directly linked to trained sailors and a strong Navy.

necessary to design and construct the Veterans Memorial Garden,” said Roach.

Mayer said, “…I am pleased to have been able to secure $62,000 funding from the State Senate to bring this beautiful garden to fruition…”

"Our mission remains timeless –– to provide our fellow citizens with nothing less than the very best Navy: fully combat-ready at all times, focused on warfighting excellence, and committed to superior leadership at every single level," said Adm. Mike Gilday, chief of naval operations.

EVEN COUNTY GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS HELP PACK SCHOOL BAGS

County Executive George Latimer and County Social Services Commissioner Leonard Townes joined The Sharing Shelf in Port Chester, on Wednesday, Aug. 2, to fill 190 backpacks with school supplies. The nonprofit’s “Backpacks to School” campaign allows under-resourced students countywide to return to the classroom feeling confident with tools necessary to excel.

Volunteers filled packs with composition books, markers, colored pencils, crayons, folders, pencil cases and other school supplies. The Sharing Shelf will be filling 1,500 backpacks over the course of the campaign.

COMMUNITY SUPPORTS ALS RESEARCH FOR A CURE

Theannual ALS Ice Bucket Challenge took place for the 10th year on Saturday, Aug. 5, at Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts trackside at the 124-year-old historic Yonkers Raceway at 810 Yonkers Ave. in Yonkers.

Community members of all ages turned out to face some cold ice on a hot day, alongside family, friends and neighbors who are currently battling or have lost the battle to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a debilitating disease that equates to a death sentence because no cure has been developed.

The event was organized by Patrick Quinn Sr., father of the late Yonkers native and ALS Ice Bucket Challenge co-founder Pat Quinn.

“Quinn for the Win - Find Your Smile Foundation.” the annual event draws local and state elected officials each year who take part in the challenge.

The hundreds of participants were either individuals with a connection to the deadly disease, current patients or participating in the name of loved ones who lost their battle to ALS. The event is held the first week of August each year because at the first event, Quinn committed to holding the event “Every August Until a Cure.” The community is honoring those words and continuing the original mission of the event to raise awareness of ALS and the need for funding to find a cure.

“We all continue to be moved by Pat Quinn’s spirit,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano. “His determination brings us back every year. We will continue to support the Quinn for the Win-Find Your Smile Foundation and the ALS Association and will return to Empire City Casino for the Ice Bucket Challenge every August until a cure.”

The annual event, co-founded by Quinn after his diagnosis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in 2013, became a global phenomenon in 2014. ALS, often called Lou Gehrig's Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Though Quinn passed away from ALS in November 2020, the Ice Bucket Challenge has remained a catalyst to finding a cure for ALS, with Quinn helping to inspire billions of dollars in donations for ALS research, which has led to expanded research and significant discoveries.

“I am always amazed by the community’s dedication to finishing our mission of finding a cure,” said Patrick Quinn Sr. “I am so thankful to all of you for always showing up. We will continue to fight to make ALS a disease you can live with, and not one that diagnosed patients will die from.”

Each year, Empire City donates the space, set-up and staffing costs, as well as over 1,300 pounds of ice. The city of Yonkers donates the ice buckets and the stage for the event, along with organizing the online registration for participants.

Founded in 2009, The Sharing Shelf is Westchester’s clothing bank for children founded to combat clothing insecurity among low-income children and families in the community and meet basic material needs such as socks,

underwear, diapers, personal products and toiletries. The Sharing Shelf collects new and gently used clothing for infants, children and teens that are distributed to local, low-income children at no cost through nonprofits, schools and community groups in Westchester County. The children receive a Wardrobe Pack, a week's worth of seasonally appropriate clothing matched to their sizes. The Sharing Shelf also hosts a series of free shopping days for low-income teens called Teen Boutique. The program was founded by a volunteer and relies on volunteers to accomplish its work.

Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE) is a nonprofit organization that partners with students to ensure they are ready for, enroll in and complete college. “We confront the challenges of a low-income, underfunded school district – the third largest in New York state – by providing families with equitable access to the critical tools and services necessary for college success,” he said.

For 16 years, YPIE has been preparing thousands of students for success in college and the 21st century workforce and has forged deep ties with the community, the city leaders and the Yonkers Public Schools. YPIE currently provides college readiness, access and persistence services to 1,200 students per year.
