he 2008 economic downturn and, most recently, a housing discrimination lawsuit have stood in the way of Kensington Road becoming a downtown luxury residential hub in Bronxville. With those obstacles cleared, construction began in June for VillaBXV, a four-story, 54-condominium building adjacent to Metro-North Railroad tracks and a short walk from the upscale village’s downtown. The project, expected to cost roughly $60 million, is rising on a state brownfield site formerly occupied by a power plant and gas station on Kensington Road. The units are expected to open

for residents in spring 2017, said Geoffrey Thompson, a spokesman for Greenwich-based Fareri Associates, the site’s developer. Thompson said starting prices for the condos, which include one-, two- and three-bedroom units and penthouses that run from 1,300 square feet to 2,000 square feet, will range from $1 million to $3.6 million. A Bronxville sales center is expected to open by Thanksgiving at 9 Park Place. Construction crews this month poured the piers for the foundation of a 309-space parking garage on the site that is expected to be completed in one year. Of the 309 spots, 106 will go to residents of the condos; the remaining will be for village use. Bronxville officials required the developers to » BRONXVILLE, page 6

“You look familiar.” Rod Biermann often gets that from people. No autograph requests, no swoons of recognition, just the quizzical I-knowyour-face-from-somewhere look. And that oft-heard line. That nagging sense of familiarity likely doesn’t owe to Biermann’s current profession and the public figure he cuts in a courtroom as an employment-law litigator at Dorf & Nelson LLP in Westchester. His is a lean, 6-foot, 5-inch figure, topped by a thick crop of longish brown hair neatly parted on one side — an artfully poised, well-spoken figure that might equally well serve a trial lawyer or a Hollywood leading man. Before he attached “Esquire” to his name on his business card, Biermann carried a Screen Actors Guild card. He worked in Hollywood — off-and-on work, auditions galore, the lot of most actors — for about 15 years. He played some hunky Lotharios, but did not land the leading man roles before leaving Tinseltown for law school in New York City. Have you ever seen “The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle?’’ The 2000 movie? DeNiro. (Biermann calls him “Bob.”) Jason Alexander. Rene Russo. Piper Perabo’s romantic interest in the flick, Rod Biermann. Familiar? Or how about “Pearl Harbor,” director Michael Bay’s 2001 special effects and bombing extravaganza? Ben Affleck. Alec Baldwin. Josh Hartnett. Cuba Gooding Jr. Rod Biermann? Or maybe you vaguely know him from that “guilty pleasure,” as he calls it, “Saved by the Bell,” the television sitcom with a long, lucrative afterlife in reruns. The lawyer still collects residuals for the couple of characters he played there. Or how about that other guilty pleasure, daytime soap opera? “The Young and the Restless?” Biermann played Kyle, a new love interest for one or more of the 42-years-andstill-ticking show’s mainstays. “That soap opera received the most notoriety of any things I did,” Biermann says, reminiscing in a conference room at the Dorf & Nelson headquarters in Rye. “I would get all this mail” addressed to Kyle. And it was only a three-month, off-and-on gig. “When I left, I left on my terms and I was ready to go,” he says of his West Coast career. “I don’t dwell in the past. It was a clean break and I never looked back.” “I didn’t go out there to be a star. I went out there to be creative and just act.”

Rod Biermann in a scene from the 2000 film, “The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle.”

His westward migration was not the pursuit of a lifelong dream. For a kid growing up in Sterling, Illinois, a mill town 100 miles west of Chicago with a population of 16,000, “Things like being an actor or a lawyer just don’t register,” says Biermann. At the University of Illinois, he was a premed student, having chosen medicine as “a respectable career that I thought I had a knack for.” In his junior year, he took an elective course in acting, an academic diversion before “eight more years of school” as a med student. He was smitten. “That just floored me,” he says. “For the first time I got into something that really, truly interested me.” Biermann won the lead role in a campus production of Neil Simon’s “The Good Doctor.” “It terrified me,” he recalls. “I had so many lines to learn. It terrified me, but it was the most exciting thing I had ever done.” Within 48 hours of his college graduation, the 22-year-old Midwesterner was on

the road to Los Angeles with his life possessions. “I literally packed up my Eagle Talon and drove out there,” he says. “I got out to L.A. and I didn’t know a soul.” He enrolled in a method acting class and found his first manager, who was related to someone the Biermann family knew in Sterling. Sometimes it pays to hail from Sterling, Illinois. Biermann began taking roles in student films shot by budding directors at University of Southern California and UCLA. “I did about five or six of those, which was a really fantastic experience,” he says. An agency hired him to do commercials. His first was for Big Red Gum — whose commercials he had loathed as a kid. “I had to kiss this girl. It was fantastic,” Biermann recalls. “I had to make out with this girl all day and I got paid for it.” Biermann would do six or seven commercials while looking to break into television and film. “There was a time when I had two or three national commercials airing at ACTOR, page 8

Power authority explores plans to ‘call in the drones’ BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

n late October, the New York Power Authority hosted a three-day demonstration in the Catskill region in which drones were tested to determine the feasibility of using the devices to inspect electrical transmission towers. The drones on display hovered and zoomed in on cotter pins and insulators while beaming high-definition pictures and video as well as infrared and electrical discharge-sensing images, called corona, down to a person on the ground holding a video screen. The demonstration was a controlled test created by the Electric Power Research Institute and 12 of its utility company members, including the White Plains-based power authority, to compare drone vendors and determine the kind of routine tower inspection tasks the drones are capable of completing. Six Federal Aviation Administrationapproved vendors from Texas, Oregon, Colorado, Virginia and Connecticut participated in the demonstration, which displayed a spectrum of drones varying in size, weight and the number of propellers. Alan Ettlinger, the director of the power authority’s Division of Research, Technology, Development and Innovation, said his team has been working on the drone project for the last year. “The main reason for drones is not economic, it’s safety,” Ettlinger said. There are accidents and fatalities that can happen in the industry, he said, and using a drone would eliminate those risks. Although not the primary one, according to Ettlinger, cost savings is another driver for exploring the use of drones. Using them would decrease the necessity for expensive helicopters — the usual means of getting close enough to inspect transmission towers — and increase the efficiency of inspections and on-site tasks as the drones will detect and assess problems faster. In addition to inspecting the utility’s 1,400 miles of electrical transmission lines, which require regular tests every two and five years, Ettlinger said the New York Power Authority has another use in mind for drones, dropping the safety line over a tower when a person is required to climb it to complete work. Ettlinger said, typically, a person has to first climb the tower, which can be as tall as 200 feet, to throw over the safety line and then attach him or herself to it. The drone tower inspection method will

require three workers: a pilot to fly the drone and navigate the mechanics of its attached camera; a spotter to provide an extra set of eyes to look for potential hazards; and a lineman, who watches a screen streaming video taken from the drone. The drones the power authority is considering will cost around $10,000 each, Ettlinger estimated, before the cost of cameras. “We haven’t done a cost analysis, but everything tells us it will be much cheaper,” Ettlinger said, adding he does not anticipate jobs will be eliminated if drones are added to the authority’s workforce. The New York Power Authority hopes to join the small club of FAA-approved utility companies to begin using drones for routine tasks like tower inspections as early as next year. San Diego, Atlanta and Chicago are among the few cities whose utility companies have received FAA approval in the last year or so to use drones for inspections of electrical and gas lines. The next step for the power authority is to file an application with the FAA — which it plans to do in the coming weeks — that, if approved, will grant a certificate of authorization outlining the conditions and limitations for the approved drone company. The transmission team will take over the project once Ettlinger and his team wrap up the research and development of the program and the power authority’s application is approved by the FAA. Then, Ettlinger said, it’ll be time to “call in the drones.”

Rockland’s dubious distinction in tax ranking needs to be fixed

AL SAMUELS

national real estate data company recently listed Rockland County as the county with the second-highest property tax burden in the entire United States. Naturally, this caught my eye, as we don’t need more negative stories that might discourage businesses from locating here. The Rockland Business Association, having previously engaged Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress to help us unravel Rockland’s financial issues, again has contracted with them, this time on the tax issue. But it will take some time for them to help us understand why Rockland taxes are so high and what, if anything, we can do about it. While Pattern for Progress is doing its work, the RBA would like to bring this issue to the attention of the businesses and residents of the county, in an effort to initiate what we hope is a constructive conversation. So far, all I can say is, according to the real estate company analysis, the top 10 counties with the highest tax rates are in relatively close proximity to New York City. Number one is Westchester, number two is Rockland and three through 10 are on Long Island or in New Jersey, all close to the city. The geographic issue is interesting. Does being near New York City cause us to have

higher taxes because land values are higher and therefore taxes are higher? Some might say to me, “Al, quit your griping, look at all the jobs we get by being near NYC.” And, in a way, they’d be right: About 20 percent of our workforce is employed in the city and an even greater number work in businesses somehow connected to New York City. It’s a huge part of our economy. OK. So, we’re close to New York City. But maybe that is not the whole answer. Of all 50 states in the nation, only one forces its counties to pick up part of the cost of Medicaid. Yup, New York. The only one of all 50. The cost of Medicaid in New York state is $55 billion — among the highest in the nation. The state pays 34 percent ($18 billion) and the county governments — with our local tax dollars — pay 16 percent ($8.8 billion). So maybe we should turn our attention not to NYC, but to Albany and ask, “Why are we the only state that forces its counties to pay a percentage of Medicaid?” To those who have heard county leaders scream over the impact of state mandates on their county budgets, we have to recognize that, clearly, this has something to do with it. But all 62 counties are saddled with the same burden of unfunded mandates. We still need to know why these have greater impact in Rockland.

Six new stores slated for Cross County Shopping Center

ross County Shopping Center in Yonkers will feature six new retailers over the next year, officials said. Sunglass Hut is already in place with Michael Kors, Skechers USA Inc., Noodles & Company, Burrata Pizza and Jamba Juice on the way. According to officials of the open-air mall, the 1,000-square-foot Sunglass Hut store opened in October, the 3,000-squarefoot Michael Kors store is expected to open in November, the 3,200-square-foot Skechers store is expected to open late this fall, the 2,500-square-foot Noodles & Company restaurant is expected to open for the holiday season, the 325-square-foot Burrata Pizza kiosk is expected to open early next year and the 375-square-foot Jamba Juice kiosk is expected to open next summer. Burrata Pizza currently operates a location on White Plains Road in Eastchester. Officials from Santa Barbara, Calif.-based Macerich Co., the manager of Cross County, said the new stores are part of an ongoing re-merchandising effort at the Yonkers

shopping center, which saw a $250 million renovation four years ago. The mall is owned by Freehold, New Jersey-based Brooks Shopping Center LLC. “Since completing a $250 million renovation and redevelopment in 2011, the center has continued to update the mix of fashion retailers and restaurants at Cross County Shopping Center,” James Stifel, chief investment officer for Benenson Capital Partners and executive vice president of Brooks Shopping Center, said. “We are excited to bring in brands that are both new to the market and are a perfect complement to the current offerings that meet the needs of our shoppers.” The Cross County Shopping Center, opened in 1954 adjacent to the New York State Thruway in Yonkers, includes more than 70 retail stores and 1.08 million square feet of open-air retail space. A 155-room Hyatt Place hotel opened at the shopping center in April. — Evan Fallor

Even though county taxes are not the highest portion of any property tax bill (generally, it’s the school tax), the county tax still puts a hurt on us. How can we forget, just recently, Rockland County was on the verge of bankruptcy? While we did get to bond our indebtedness, we will have to pay that $96 million back and that is something known as debt service, which is paid through — you guessed it — more taxes. Speaking of more taxes, let’s look at what makes up another big piece of the pie, is our town taxes. Here we go again. For example, which town pays the most for its police in all of New York state? Well, that would be Clarkstown. Other towns in Rockland have costly departments, too. These all add up as part of the local tax bills! And, some of our school districts are among the most generous in the state. But what can we do about it? Well, one way to reduce the cost to each taxpayer is to reduce government and school spending, another is to increase the number of taxable properties and taxpayers so that the tax burden is divided among more businesses and people. In New York where so many of our services are based on the property tax there are only a couple of ways to reduce costs — improve efficiency

of the delivery of services so it costs less or simply cut services. Not so easy when roughly 70 percent of a school district’s cost, for instance, is based upon salaries and benefits and those aren’t going down. Of course, we could increase the number of ratables by increasing the number of taxable business enterprises. So by approving projects like Legoland or the Haverstraw Water Supply Project, we can make a difference and ... no wait a minute, these projects aren’t going forward. What about residential? Rockland is one of the few counties in the Hudson Valley that is still growing. But the fastest growing portion of our population is the Jewish Orthodox and some — not all — do not pay full taxes because of religious exemptions. So, what’s the head of a business association to do? I guess we start by just recognizing what is really happening in Rockland, that we really are one of the highest-taxed counties in the U.S. and that this is not so easy to change. But we can’t give up on this. So, we anxiously await the findings of Patterns’ efforts. Al Samuels is president and CEO of Rockland Business Association Inc. in Pearl River.

$700K settlement reached in Yonkers clothing donation scam

ew York State Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said his office has reached a $700,000 settlement with clothing donation company Thrift Land USA of Yonkers Inc., which allegedly resold donated clothes for profit and deceived the public into thinking their old clothing would benefit various charities. Schneiderman said charities named on Thrift Land’s clothing donation bins, including New City-based Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rockland County and Queens-based I Love Our Youth Inc., received only a small monthly fee for the use of their logos. As part of the settlement, Thrift Land, which netted more than $10 million from the scheme, was required to pay $50,000 in penalties as well as a payment of $650,000 to the New York Community Trust and the Westchester Community Foundation. Thrift Land, which operates more than 1,100 clothing donations bins in parking lots, gas stations and others locations throughout the region, was also found to have entered into contracts with charities as a professional fundraiser without having registered with

Schneiderman’s office as required by law. “Duping members of the public into thinking that they are making a charitable donation, when in fact they are enriching a for-profit corporation, is both deceptive and illegal,” Schneiderman said. “When a for-profit company masquerades as a charity, my office will hold it and its owners accountable.” Going forward, Thrift Land will be required to disclose its for-profit status, company name and phone number on its bins as well as written consent from each property owner. Hosea James Givan II, chairman of I Love Our Youth, was also found to have used charitable funds to pay for personal expenses. Givan was required to pay $50,000 in penalties and dissolve the company. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rockland County was also found to have failed to take adequate measures to ensure its logo and name were not being used in a deceptive manner by Thrift Land. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Rockland County will directly manage and supervise all charitable advertisements of its logo moving forward as part of the settlement. — Evan Fallor

build the parking garage before construction could begin on the condominiums, which will rise across from Christ Church on Sagamore Road. “There were a lot of challenges in getting this site ready,” Thompson said. “This site is really the kind of construction work you’d see in an urban area because it is basically surrounded by other utilities, a church and train tracks. It’s not just building on an open field. It’s very tricky.” Original plans called for blasting ledge rock on the site, but the Metropolitan Transportation Authority nixed those plans because of the proximity to its railroad tracks. Instead, crews had to hammer out the ledge rock, which slowed the construction process several months, Thompson said. During the excavation process, crews also discovered an underground utility tunnel, owned in part by the New Rochelle Water Co., which had to be filled to make room for the parking garage’s foundation. According to Fareri Associates, VillaBXV will have Mediterranean-style architecture, a 24-hour concierge, a fitness center, an outdoor garden and rooftop terraces. Thompson said Fareri expects the village to approve an offering plan which could allow sales of the condominiums to begin as soon as this week. He added initial interest has been “exceptional” following advertisements in The New York Times.

Originally marketed for empty nesters, VillaBXV encountered a legal obstacle in January when Gateway Kensington LLC, the development entity of Fareri Associates, were sued by Westchester Residential Opportunities, Inc., a nonprofit promoting equal and affordable housing in the county. The organization claimed the development violated the Fair Housing Act and discriminated against families with children. The lawsuit was settled in September after Bronxville changed its zoning code to no longer allow for an age-targeted special permit “designed to appeal primarily to individuals and couples without children,” Westchester Residential Opportunities said, citing the village’s zoning code. According to Westchester Residential Opportunities, the village paid the organization $95,000 in damages and legal fees. Fareri will be required to construct a play area for children on the site. “Families with children, people amid adoptions and pregnant women are all protected from housing discrimination by law,” Westchester Residential Opportunities Executive Director Geoffrey Anderson said in September. “I am pleased this matter is now settled and Bronxville has eliminated its discriminatory permit category.” Following the lawsuit settlement, Bronxville Mayor Mary Marvin wrote in her weekly column the new development would generate significant tax revenue for the village and would provide much-needed parking for both downtown merchants and shoppers. She said she is pleased the

Bronxville code no longer provides for an age-targeted special permit and was excited to bring new children into the school district. “We believe the Kensington condominiums will be a great new addition to our village, and we are excited to see them coming to fruition after many years of careful planning,” Marvin wrote. The former home of Lawrence Park Heat, Light and Power Co., the development site was bought by the village in 1986. The village initially planned to build parking facilities there, but the discovery of contaminated soil on the site, which would require environmental remediation, made construction too expensive. After nearly two decades of vacancy, WCI Communities Inc. was chosen in 2004 to build a 54-unit, 110,000-square-foot condominium development with a 300-space parking garage on the site. But that plan also fell through after the company filed for

Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2008 during the recession. The village signed an agreement with Fareri Associates in March 2014. Marvin said last year Fareri Associates paid Bronxville $3.85 million to acquire the property and was expected to pay between $7 million and $10 million to clean up the site. Fareri Associates also developed The Harbor at Greenwich, a community of 11 luxury condominiums and homes, as well as Chieftains, a group of 28 estate homes on the former Gimbel estate in Greenwich. John Fareri, principal of Fareri Associates, said the Bronxville project will build upon the company’s other luxury developments in the area. “Our company’s expertise is in building intimate luxury properties in some of the finest communities in the region,” he said. “VillaBXV fits perfectly with our experience and character.”

INBRIEF CITRIN COOPERMAN ADDS FIRM, INCREASES HOSPITALITY PRESENCE Regional tax, accounting and advisory firm Citrin Cooperman announced that the partners and staff of New York City-based Joel Popkin & Co., a more than 45-year-old boutique accounting, tax and consulting firm, joined the firm effective Nov. 1. Popkin arrives with what Citrin Cooperman termed “a significant specialty in restaurants, nightclubs and event venues.” The addition will bring approximately 25 new employees to Citrin Cooperman and, coupled with its existing restaurant industry clients, will make the firm one of the largest accounting practices in restaurant and hospitality services in the U.S., according to the firm. As part of the transaction, Roy Tumpowsky, managing partner of Joel Popkin & Co., will join Citrin Cooperman’s Nick Florio and Stacy Gilbert as co-chairperson of the restaurant and hospitality practice. “We continually strive to bring in great people with great clients and we feel the partners and staff of Joel Popkin are a perfect fit,” CEO Joel Cooperman said. “The strong synergies between us and the partners and staff of Joel Popkin & Co. will allow us to significantly enhance the full range of services for our clients. We are very proud to have people with such like-minded values and culture join us.” Apart from food and hospitality, Popkin’s clients include entrepreneurial startups and large multinationals spanning construction, real estate, trusts and nonprofits and highnet-worth individuals. “We are very excited to be joining Citrin Cooperman,” Tumpowsky said, “Together, we can leverage the strength of our teams and provide our clients with more in-house

comprehensive accounting, tax and consulting services that they can utilize to help their businesses grow. It is a great pleasure for us to be joining such a prestigious firm.” With the addition of Joel Popkin & Co., Citrin Cooperman’s annual revenues are now expected to exceed $190 million, the company reported.

STATE EXPANDS FUND FOR NEW FARMERS The New Farmers Grant Fund was allocated $1 million in the 2015-16 state budget, up from $610,000 last year, and will provide

grants to farmers who have recently started agriculture businesses, according to Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office. Eligible agribusinesses can receive up to 50 percent of project costs and the recipient must match the other half of the cost. The minimum amount provided will be $15,000 and the maximum is $50,000. Some of the parameters for eligible operations include farmland in the state that is fewer than 150 acres, the business cannot be more than 10 years old and 2014 or 2015 tax returns must show the owner has had at

Biermann met his wife, a New York City native, in an acting class in Los Angeles. She was pregnant during the filming of “Pearl Harbor,” Biermann’s second major motion picture. Filming on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific, Biermann was notified that his wife had gone into labor. The producers bundled him into the nose of a World War II-era B-25 Mitchell bomber and the cast and crew aboard the carrier cheered on the nervous father as he flew to San Diego. There a waiting Disney jet flew him to Los Angeles, where a waiting limo rushed him to the hospital. It was like a scene from a Hollywood movie: “As I’m running into the room, she basically had the baby right then,” he says. About two hours later, he returned to the B-25 and filming. The biggest jerk with whom he worked in Hollywood? Nolo contendere: Ben Affleck on the set of “Pearl Harbor.” For the young couple, “We were just immersed in the entertainment business,” Biermann says. “We met some incredible people, had some amazing experiences, and really made my time out there something to remember.” Still, “I never knew when my next job was going to be. You always finished a job and you were back to the grind” of landing the next one.

ACTOR — From page 2

the same time.” The commercial work qualified him for a Screen Actors Guild union card. But acting work was slow to come his way and sporadic when it did. Like many aspiring actors, he waited tables — making two bucks in tips on a good night at a diner frequented by L.A.’s Z-listers — before joining another aspiring thespian in his carpentry finishing business in Malibu. “It was very tough,” he says. “I started to work and I started to believe that this was something I could do.” In Hollywood, “There really are no overnight stories of success.” Biermann says he did about 10 television shows and 10 to 15 independent films in roles “ranging from an all-American lead to a vampire.” In a Danielle Steele made-for-TV movie, he played a preppie rapist. He landed numerous roles in television pilots. If his face looks familiar, you didn’t see it first in one of them. “They never did run,” says Biermann. “I was the kiss of death for a lot of those things.” The Rocky and Bullwinkle film “was my first major motion picture. It was a $200 million movie…Working on that movie at that level was really unbelievable.”

After the births of their two children, Biermann had a father’s epiphany. At home one day during another interval without work, he realized that out-of-work actor was not the role he wanted to model for his children. “I realized I had to have some control over my destiny….That concerned me. I had friends older than me that were struggling and hit a wall” in the entertainment business. “I made a decision that day that this was something that was fun in my twenties, but now I have to figure out what to do” in a new career. “I realized that I had a good run. I had a lot of fun. But I was ready to make the transition, to make a break.” Biermann saw role models for a viable, attractive career in his wife’s mother, Saralee Evans, then a New York State Supreme Court judge, and his wife’s stepfather, civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel, the former director of the New York Civil Liberties Union. “I realized that I could use the skill set I developed as an actor to act in the courtroom. So I went to law school and became a litigator. I was able to use what I had developed and take it to another level.” The Biermanns, who now reside in Larchmont, moved to New York City, where the former actor enrolled in the City University of New York School of Law. He

was admitted to the state bar in 2007. “The funny thing about that transition, it was very tough. As an actor, you’re taught to feel and not think. As an attorney, you’re taught to think and not feel.” Yet Biermann found the skills he’d developed as an actor performing in public and his life experience were “critical” in giving him an advantage over many of his courtroom peers. “Being a public speaker and being in a courtroom is a high-stress, highstakes environment,” he says. Biermann says he chose to practice employment law because it “was an opportunity where I could help other people and really have an impact.” Although some thought it would be a natural move for him in his career change, “There was nothing about entertainment law that interested me,” he says. “With entertainment law, I felt I’d be keeping one foot in and one foot out” of the business he’d left behind. In 2011, Biermann joined the Dorf & Nelson firm. Last May, the firm launched its employment law group headed by Biermann. The former actor had presented a business plan for the new practice group that swayed his colleagues. “It’s been incredibly successful,” Biermann says. “It’s really filled a niche in Westchester County and New York.” On with the next act.

INBRIEF METRO-NORTH PARKING GARAGE OPENS

The North White Plains train station serves nearly 2,200 travelers during weekdays and about 1,300 on the weekend, according to the MTA.

Nearly $42 million in federal funding was spent to expand the North White Plains Metro-North parking garage. Photo courtesy MTA

A ceremonial ribbon-cutting event was held Oct. 30 at the North White Plains MetroNorth Station to unveil $41.8 million in improvements to the station. The dedication showcased a more robust parking garage — now 186,000 square feet and five stories — expanded from the original 109-space lot. Also on display was new art, commissioned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Arts & Design division, made of 125 stainless steel panels, which create a water droplet scene on a facade of the building. The now 500-space parking garage includes electric vehicle charging spaces, dedicated areas for scooters and bicycles, three floors for permit parking and two floors of metered parking. The changes also included converting Haarlem Avenue into a two-way street from Bond Street to the garage entrance, adding a pedestrian signal as well as a “Kiss-nRide” to make drop-offs and pick-ups easier and a storefront retail space facing Haarlem Avenue. The nearly $42 million grant was provided through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement program with the U.S. Department of Transportation. Metro-North President Joseph Giulietti, state Sen. George Latimer, state Assemblyman David Buchwald, Westchester County Legislator Benjamin Boykin and White Plains Mayor Thomas M. Roach were among the officials attending the event. Earlier this year, $2.1 million in upgrades to the North White Plains station were completed as part of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s BuildSmart NY initiative to increase energy efficiency in state-operated buildings. The changes included a new boiler and ventilation devices that are used in the train yard’s four buildings. The funding was provided by the White Plains-based New York Power Authority, which will be reimbursed in installments by the MTA.

The White Plains mayor’s office announced the names of 13 members on the stakeholder task force to help oversee the redevelopment of the White Plains Metro-North station. Mayor Thomas M. Roach will join TWB Coming Soon to Mamaroneck members WCBJ representing the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, 7.375” w x 7.125” h state Department of Transportation, residents and businesses. 10-30-15 The group will work with a consultant, New York-based Parsons Brinckerhoff. In addition to the mayor, the task force membership includes Michael Shiffer, vice president of planning for Metro-North;

Jones, managing member of development firm Robert Martin Company LLC; and William V. Cuddy Jr., executive vice president of CBRE Brokerage Services.

Jonathan Kirschenbaum has been named the task force’s coordinator. He was previously a planner for the city’s Community Development Program. The project, which aims to more effectively combine train, bus, taxi and possibly bus rapid transit at the station in downtown White Plains, has picked up speed since August, when the mayor’s office announced a request for proposals to study the idea. The city received a $1 million grant from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority in December 2013 to fund the consultant firm, chosen earlier this month, that will study the roughly 0.5 mile radius around the train station. The project had been held up by talks between the authority and the city, according to a previous Business Journal report. — Colleen Wilson

Doctors of Distinction honors Westchester’s medical best BY EVAN FALLOR evan@westfairinc.com

ix county doctors were honored for their work and “dedication, expertise, accomplishments and compassionate care” in the medical field during the annual Westchester County Doctors of Distinction at The Bristal in Armonk on Oct. 29. Westfair Communications Inc., the publisher of the Westchester County Business Journal, accounting firm Citrin Cooperman and the Westchester County Medical Society co-sponsored the event, which honors the county’s top doctors in five categories: Lifetime Achievement; Excellence in Medical Research; Community Service; Humanitarian; and Leadership in Medical Advocacy. Other sponsors included Simone Healthcare Development, CareConnect, Danziger & Markhoff LLP and Pepe Infiniti. Alan G. Badey, managing partner of Citrin

Cooperman and co-leader of the firm’s health care industry practice, said the organization was proud to sponsor the event. The firm also sponsors Westfair Communications’ Fairfield County Doctors of Distinction. “We were thrilled to again be a part of the Westchester Doctors of Distinction awards to celebrate physicians whose work has made significant contributions to the medical community,” Badey said. “It was a joyous evening and we were all captivated by the inspiring stories of the winners. Congratulations to all on this well-deserved recognition.” Scott D. Hayworth, president and CEO of the Mount Kisco Medical Group, was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award. Hayworth, who joined the Mount Kisco Medical Group PC in 1988, said the 3,200 employees that care for the more than 400,000 patients across the Hudson Valley have been instrumental in helping the organization expand its reach and become a main-

stay in the region. Hayworth also serves as an associate dean and clinical assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and is on the national advisory boards for Aetna, Anthem and MedPro. “I get to stand up here and look good, but I couldn’t do it without all those people,” Hayworth said. Andrew Kleinman, the immediate past president of the Medical Society of the State of New York and former president of the Westchester County Medical Society, and L. Mark Russakoff, director of psychiatry at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center, were both presented the Leadership in Medical Advocacy award. Kleinman, a plastic surgeon who operates Kleinman Plastic Surgery — a private practice in Rye Brook — and serves on the staff of Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital, encouraged younger physicians to become involved in the field in any way they can. He attributed his success to the time he spent working alongside

other physicians. “We went into this to take care of patients, advocacy is all about patients. It really is a team effort,” he said. “When I take a look at my accomplishments, they’re really not my accomplishments. They’re the accomplishments of a bunch of physicians working together.” Russakoff spent much of his time discussing the funding that has been lost in the psychiatric field, adding his guiding principle is, “If it works for the patients, it will work for the physicians as well.” “A disproportionate amount of money has been taken out of the mental care field,” Russakoff said. “It’s here that advocacy is most needed. It’s a constant struggle to maintain services to our patients that they truly need.” The Community Service Award was presented to Michael Lahn, an emergency physician at New York Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville for the past 13 years. Lahn’s work in the community includes being director of the Eastchester Volunteer Ambulance Corps for the past four years, where he has led the integration of the intranasal drug Naloxone and continuous positive airway pressure, and, most recently, the role of medical director of the Pelham Fire Department. Lahn said he has treated patients with ailments ranging from the “very minor” to the “very extreme” and enjoys making patients and their families feel better. He recently led a trip to the Dominican Republic with his family to build a youth center and said he continues to thoroughly enjoy his work with Eastchester Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Craig H. Zalvan, a laryngologist who helped create the Institute for Voice and Swallowing Disorders at Phelps Memorial Hospital Center, was given the Humanitarian Award for the numerous techniques and procedures he was introduced in his more than 15 years of experience in the field. Zalvan thanked Phelps for the support for his international endeavors over the years, which have included numerous trips to South America to spread techniques regularly practiced in the U.S. In April, he led a team to Peru to teach laryngology techniques so local doctors there can better care for residents. “It really sparked tremendous interest in local doctors there in these techniques,” Zalvan said of the mission. “They didn’t have that ability at the time.” Robert Gary Josephberg, an ophthalmologist who has served as the chief of retina and vitreous for Westchester Medical Center for 20 years and operates a private practice in Yonkers, accepted the award for Excellence in Medical Research. Josephberg spoke of his Yonkers upbringing and his time at Roosevelt High School before attending the University of Wisconsin. “It was a humbling experience when I got that letter,” Josephberg said.

As you know, high-net-worth individuals face many unique issues. So, with the end of the year rapidly approaching, it’s important to review your estate plan and identify opportunities to minimize your overall income tax burden. Being proactive. There are many planning techniques you’ll want to employ before the calendar changes. Some of the more common include using income and deduction strategies, particularly if you’re a business owner. You’ll want to time charitable contributions to get more tax benefits. Maximizing your retirement plan contributions is important, as is making any 529 Plan contributions. It’s also key to take advantage of low interest rates while they’re available. Lastly, you’ll want to reduce the Medicare surtax on your investment income. While 2015 did not usher in any changes to current tax laws, it did bring the national legalization of same-sex marriage. So it’s extremely important for same-sex couples to weigh the financial implications of this landmark Supreme Court ruling. Reflecting carefully. It’s also important to consider any significant changes you and your family have experienced. Marriages, births, deaths, the sale of a business – any

of these events means it’s time to take a fresh look at your estate plan. Keeping your estate IN 2015 YOU ARE PERMITTED TO MAKE GIFTS OF

How to keep your retirement fund working for you

e often address strategies for amassing funds during one’s active working years that are needed for a comfortable retirement. However, what happens when you actually enter your retirement and need to start drawing upon the funds? Is it simply a matter of making withdrawals from your 401(k) and other retirement savings accounts and hoping you do, in fact, have enough money to maintain the standard of living you want? The answer, of course, is “no.” Making sure that your retirement funds continue to work for you can be crucial in helping to ensure that you maintain a steady income during your golden years. In contrast to the accumulation phase, you are now entering a “decumulation” phase, where your income stream must cover basic expenses for shelter, food, utilities and other routine bills, as well as “pleasure” expenses, such as travel, hobbies and other fulfilling activities. While planning your decumulation strategy with a qualified retirement services provider is always prudent, the good news is that, when done properly, you can capitalize on the fact that no one knows your current and future needs as well as you do.

Retirement plan distributions need careful planning. Considering the enormous impact compounding has on one’s retirement savings, large distributions may have an adverse effect on future income — because large amounts that are distributed from your savings no longer have earnings potential — which will ultimately limit your account value. A critical alternative to consider is to keep your 401(k) assets in a tax-deferred vehicle, thereby avoiding taxes and, depending on circumstances, a penalty. By rolling over your 401(k) account into a traditional IRA, you can continue to benefit from earnings potential without paying taxes until you take a distribution. (One can also explore Roth IRA rollovers, but please note that there are different tax rules involved for traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs.) Cost-effective investments are potentially of even greater importance post-retirement considering that you are probably no longer drawing a regular paycheck, and even if you are, it is probably for a lesser amount than you were accustomed to receiving. Low investment costs and their impact on a fund’s returns result in cost

AN INSIDER’S VIEW OF THE POLITICS AND POLICIES THAT SHAPE OUR NATIONAL DEBATE.

savings that compound substantially over time — allowing your money to work harder for you. There are also a number of personal factors to consider. If you are taking early retirement, what reductions and/or penalties may be involved? Will there be a gap before you are eligible for Medicare benefits and, if so, how will you bridge that gap? Are you married and, if so, is your spouse retired or still working? What are all of your sources of retirement income? How is your overall health? What is your anticipated life expectancy? You will also need to develop a decumulation strategy. One approach is what we call the “4 percent rule,” which involves withdrawing 4 percent of your portfolio in the first year of your retirement, and then four percent in each subsequent year, adjusting for inflation. Alternatively, based on life expectancy assumptions, you may elect to divide your account balance by the number of years you expect to live based on your current age in order to determine your withdrawal amount. This approach is more difficult to calculate with accuracy, considering that average life expectancy — as with any average — is rarely in perfect alignment

across individuals. Another alternative approach is to purchase a life annuity that provides retirement income for life with a “period certain,” or a guaranteed benefit for a certain period of time. For example, a life annuity with 10 years certain means that the benefit would be paid over the life of the participant, with a minimum of 10 annual payments guaranteed. If the participant were to die after four years, his or her beneficiary would receive the remainder of the payments, or the actuarial equivalent value of six years’ worth of payments, because the annuity guarantees that the payments will be made for 10 years. The guaranteed portion of the benefit under this option is also referred to as a death benefit, or death benefit protection. There are more details involved with each of these approaches. Nevertheless, the big takeaway here is that you need not consider your retirement an endpoint for your retirement savings. Richard W. Rausser is senior vice president of client services at Pentegra Retirement Services in White Plains and a certified pension consultant. He can be reached at Rrausser@ pentegra.com.

THE ROBERTS REPORT

BY ALEC ROBERTS

Gone are the good old days of business

couple of weeks ago I attended a gala for the Supportive Housing Network of New York, a coalition of nonprofit agencies and developers of housing for special needs populations, the homeless with mental illness, developmental disabilities, substance abuse, etc. We’re talking big bucks — professional agencies that have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on more than 35,000 units in New York City and the suburbs. There were tax credit syndicators, accountants, lawyers, title companies and bankers whom I have known for 20 years. And all of them, to a person, had the same complaint. Doing business today is too damn hard, almost impossible, because of onerous government regulation. It seems that while the

financial crisis brought raises and golden parachutes for its architects, everybody else got Dodd-Frank. They also lamented the 2002 law called Sarbanes-Oxley. Let’s start with Dodd-Frank. I met a banker I dealt with 20 years ago who used to provide my nonprofit with funding for property acquisitions within two weeks. He is now the head of a major New York City nonprofit himself and said lending like that would never happen today because of the new regulations. He said the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act that was supposed to bring more accountability and transparency has instead brought tons of paperwork and paralysis. And nobody thinks the original goal of eliminating the “too big to fail”

banks actually occurred. Quoting A. Scott Anderson, CEO of Zions Bank in Salt Lake City, the ABA Banking Journal wrote, “Overregulation often reduces bank flexibility to meet the unique circumstances of customers. Common sense is replaced by complex rules. Fear of violating regulations and potential lawsuits leads to fewer loans, hurting customers and their communities.” Then, there’s the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. This congressional creation, which still has some provisions thankfully delayed, was supposed to address the accounting scandals such as Enron and WorldCom. Aside from putting small accountants out of business, the endless certification requirements and personal liability for everything About 100 required documents are laid out for signing at a 2014 closing on a multifamily property in Mount Vernon.

corporate have primarily benefited lawyers. A closing I had on an affordable housing development last year that in the past might have required signing 30 documents, ended up with more than 100. As far back as 2003, Richard Kincaid of Equity Office Properties said, “The flaw with Sarbanes-Oxley, with all the certification requirements and other mandates, is that if you’re going to commit a fraud, you’re going to sign the documents anyway.” As executive director of a nonprofit, I have seen government regulations go from the sublime to the ridiculous. In our federal contracts for housing counseling today, my counselors have to document their time in writing every 15 minutes. And today, the national software reporting system for filing audits is down because of a security breach. Charities required by law to file their federal A-133 audits between July and December were told in an email that they can’t file until the problem is fixed. There is a reason why two people with no government experience are leading the Republican presidential field. People are fed up with government that makes problems worse instead of better. But the nation needs experienced leaders who understand business and something called benefit-cost analysis. When you do that, you find out whether proposed legislation will actually make things better.

ASK ANDI

Find your marketing sweet spot We have markets with low want more of that; something like dating, from introduction to getting to know each other, to working closely • occasionally come forward with requests margins — what markets should we for something new that is within your com- together, to taking each other for granted, to focus on to have better margins THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Finding the best customers for your business can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. Sometimes old, loyal customers may not be that great anymore — give them an invitation to try something new. Make a list of what defines best for your company. Do your homework on what customers want most and are least able to get. Build profits through effective, directed selling supported by a strong marketing campaign. Start with the premise that all customers are not equal. Get on with the job of figuring out which customers are worth the most to your business. It probably isn’t the most demanding ones, even though those are the customers that come to mind first because they’re the most vocal. Make a list of criteria to help everyone identify who are your company’s best customers: • willingly pay their bills on time; • value what your business provides and

pany’s ability to produce; • understand and accept the need for periodic price increases; • introduce you to new prospects; • sing your company’s praises; and • are generally respectful and appreciative. Get more of these kinds of customers and it probably gets easier to hang onto employees because they feel more rewarded for the work they do. It gets easier to find additional similar customers as everyone in your company comes to know what to look for. Law of attraction — like finds like — comes into play as your company is introduced to your customers’ connections with other like-minded folks. It’s worth periodically reviewing your list of customers against your best customer criteria. As business conditions change for all of us, it may impact who qualifies for that elite status of “best customer.” Dig into old customers who look like they’re on the decline. Find out what is causing the decline — and whether or not it’s worth addressing. Every customer has a life cycle,

moving on to the next new, hot opportunity. If that’s what happened to some of your customers, figure out if it’s because your company isn’t keeping up with the market or if what’s a hot opportunity for your customer just isn’t in your company’s wheelhouse and it’s time to let go. Dig deeper with best customers. Get to know what makes them tick, what they’re working on next and what challenges and opportunities they’re facing. Try to move from a customer-vendor relationship to partnership status. As an insider your company is likely to find out early what’s happening in your customers’ world. You’re likely to be asked to help solve problems that your customers are facing. And that information can give you a head start on being first to market with a new valuable offer. Build recognition programs for your best customers to let them know you appreciate them as much as they seem to appreciate what your company can do for them. Invite them to join you at events and go to activities that they attend. Find out where they get their

information from and make your company highly visible there. Test offers with them — if the “hook” works for them it may work for other, similar suspects. If they are willing, feature your best customers in ads recognizing how working together has resulted in better solutions that others might be interested in. Recognize the importance of timing and fit — being present with relevant information exactly when a prospect has a need. Keep in mind that with today’s communication tools, the thirst for information is going up, not down. In a world with the ability to put information at our fingertips, the ability to deliver exactly what someone wants, just when they’re looking for it, has never been greater. The companies who master the skill of presence and applicability will dominate at the game of getting the best customers for their business — and that can lead to growth, greater profits, and the highest quality relationships.

SPECIAL REPORT

BANKING

Businesses cite Ex-Im’s value as bank remains in flux

This notice is posted on the Export-Import Bank website.

BY COLLEEN WILSON cwilson@westfairinc.com

or the first time in its 81-year history, the Export-Import Bank of the United States was not reauthorized by Congress earlier this year, but a recent vote in the House of Representatives has put its charter back on the table. The agency, which helps U.S. companies decrease risk when exporting products, expired at midnight June 30 after the House failed to call a vote before going to recess. Since then, the Ex-Im Bank has not been able to process applications or conduct new business. Since 2007, the Ex-Im Bank has been a resource for roughly 30 businesses in Westchester and Rockland counties and helped facilitate about $820 million in exports, according to the bank’s online database. U.S. Rep Nita M. Lowey, a Democrat

whose district includes all of Rockland County and part of Westchester County, has been an outspoken proponent of the bank. “The agency’s guaranteed financing has helped dozens of companies throughout the Lower Hudson Valley, and failure to reauthorize the Ex-Im Bank’s charter could mean job losses not only for those exporters, but also their extensive supply chains,” she said. Curtis Instruments Co., a Mount Kiscobased business for 55 years, makes instruments and control systems for electric vehicles such as wheelchairs and golf carts for markets in the Americas, Europe and Asia. Frank Matheis, director of corporate communications at Curtis, said the company has used the Ex-Im Bank for loan guarantees, which he said has allowed the company to take on some risk and do transactions abroad. “If you absorb all the risk without any backing, then companies are in a position

where they would assume all the risk,” Matheis said. “But the (Ex-Im Bank) stands behind the companies.” Mary-Ellen Storino is the CFO of Purchase-based Agri-Dairy Products Inc., a company that sells dairy ingredients to customers in Asia, South America, Mexico and the Caribbean and has not used the Ex-Im bank in more than a year. In the last eight years, the company did secure roughly $4 million in exports with support from the agency, according to the Ex-Im Bank’s online database. “In hindsight, it is a great tool in order to allow open terms to international customers,” she said. The agency provides financing such as loan guarantees and insurance to American companies that have an international buyer. In addition, it supports international buyers with medium- and long-term financing loans up to 85 percent of the contract after at least a 15 percent cash payment.

But conservatives argue American taxpayers have to pay back the loans foreign companies default on. John Alan James, chairman emeritus of Pace University’s Lubin School of Business, said that perception is inaccurate. “There’s never been any taxpayer payment,” he said. “The profits made from the deals that were good, covered any losses.” In other words, the fees and interest the agency charges with its services help cover any deficits from deals that fall through. “The Ex-Im Bank has played an important role, and hopefully will continue to do so, for both huge U.S. corporations and their sourcing partners here in the states and abroad,” James said. The bill to reauthorize the Ex-Im Bank will go to the Senate next. News reports have said the bill likely won’t be voted on by itself, but rather as an attachment to a highway-funding bill in the coming weeks. WCBJ | HV Biz

KeyCorp to acquire First Niagara Financial Group for $4.1B BY REECE ALVAREZ ralvarez@westfairinc.com

leveland-based KeyCorp, the holding company for KeyBank, has agreed to acquire Buffalo-based First Niagara Financial Group for $4.1 billion, creating the 13th largest commercial bank in the U.S. First Niagara has five bank branches in Westchester County including, locations in Bedford Hills, Yorktown Heights and Ossining.

In Connecticut’s Fairfield County, First Niagara has nine branches after closing five local branches early this year. First Niagara had an aggressive entry into Fairfield County with its acquisition of NewAlliance Bank, picking up eight branches with more than $266 million in deposits in 2011 when it announced a deal with HSBC bank. By May 2012, more than 100 former HSBC offices reopened as First Niagara branches, with First Niagara add-

ing 1,200 employees and 500,000 retail customers. In 2014, First Niagara operated a total of 80 branches throughout the county and state. According to KeyCorp, the per-share consideration is valued at $11.40 per share based on the closing price of KeyCorp common stock on Oct. 29. First Niagara shareholders will receive 0.68 KeyCorp shares and $2.30 in cash for each First Niagara common share. “I am confident the combination of First Niagara and Key will benefit our shareholders, customers and the communities we serve and will build off the great progress the First Niagara team has made,” Nathaniel D. Woodson, chairman of the First Niagara board of directors, said. “We believe this partnership provides significant value for our shareholders and allows them to participate in the upside potential of the combined Key and First Niagara.” First Niagara, headquartered in Buffalo, has $39 billion in assets, $29 billion in deposits and 394 banking offices in New

York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts. With approximately $135 billion of assets, the combined bank will be the 13th largest commercial bank headquartered in the U.S. and will have approximately $99.8 billion in deposits, $83.6 billion in loans and 1,366 branches across 15 states, according to KeyCorp. Neither First Niagara or KeyBank have stated what will come of the Fairfield and Westchester County branches, though KeyBank did include plans to expand into Connecticut in its announcement. KeyCorp expects the acquisition to be accretive to earnings per share in 2017. “Key and First Niagara are a powerful combination, driven by a shared commitment to the clients and to the communities we serve,” KeyCorp Chairman and CEO Beth Mooney said. “This transformational opportunity will bring compelling and complementary capabilities to our shared three million clients, while driving meaningful synergies and enhancing shareholder value.”

TD takes customer-satisfaction crown in survey

ew Jersey-based TD Bank, with 19 branches in Westchester County, was ranked as the best small-business bank in the Northeast in the recently released 2015 J.D. Power “Small Business Banking Satisfaction Study.” The survey reflected data from 9,000 small-business owners or financial decisionmakers nationally who use business banking services. The study was conducted from June through August 2015 and found, among other data, that women like their banking experience more than men. This is the second time TD Bank has taken the top small-banking satisfaction spot in its headquarters region following a win in 2013, the bank reported. Women who own small businesses in the U.S. are overall more satisfied than their male counterparts with their banking experience, according to the survey. The study, now in its 10th year, measured small-business customer satisfaction by examining product offerings; account manager; facility; account information; problem resolution; credit services; fees and channel activities. TD Bank’s overall small business customer satisfaction score for the Northeast

was 796 on a scale of 1,000, an increase of 25 points compared with last year. The bank termed the jump “significant” and said it represented the winning difference. Chase was No. 2 regionally with a survey score of 770, followed by Wells Fargo at 751; Citibank at 749; PNC Bank at 747; Citizens Bank at 736; Capital One at 734 and Bank of America at 724. Chase took the No. 1 spot nationally with a score of 780. The survey ranked banks on categories such as products, account management, fees, locations and credit services. It said TD Bank “performs particularly well in product offerings, facility, fees, account information and channel activities.” Channel activities include ATM, mobile and phone. The survey analyzed customers’ perceptions of their bank’s ability to meet their expectations and highlighted banks that perform well in managing relationships with their customers and why. It also was designed to provide bankers with a series of measurable and actionable performance indicators to help increase customer satisfaction, TD Bank said. — Bill Fallon

‘TRIPLE DRIVE’ CAMPAIGN STARTS People to People, Rockland’s largest food pantry and MI-BOX Mobile Storage of West Haverstraw are teaming up again to assist less fortunate families in the Rockland County area with the launch of the fifth annual Triple Drive collecting toys, food and coats for this Thanksgiving and holiday season. For the fifth straight year, MI-BOX is serving as the collection site for donations.

CLEARWATER TO HOST GALA

HABER ELECTED TO MERCY BOARD

The Hudson River Sloop Clearwater will host its first-ever fundraising gala Nov. 15 at The Garrison in Garrison, from 4 to 8 p.m. Longtime friends and contributors to Clearwater, Annie and Fred Osborn III of Garrison, will be presented with the Spirit of the Hudson award, which has been established to recognize and honor extraordinary contributions to the protection and celebration of the Hudson River and its watershed. Musical performances will feature seven-time Grammy winner Paul Winter and The Judith Tulloch Band. There will also be live and silent auctions featuring unique items such as a scale model of the sloop Clearwater. Clearwater Executive Director Peter Gross said, “This event comes at a critical time in Clearwater’s history, when we face new levels of financial challenges and exciting new opportunities ahead.” Funds raised at the gala will support the restoration of America’s environmental flagship Clearwater – founded by Pete Seeger and first sailed in 1969 – and is now in the midst of a multiyear Coast Guard-mandated restoration of the ship’s hull. This massive project goes far beyond annually required repairs and maintenance and involves replacing all the frames, planks and much of the “backbone” below the water line.

Bruce J. Haber has been elected chairman of the Mercy College oard of trustees, replacing Gary W. Brown, who led the board since 2009 and is stepping down as he is set to assume responsibility in January as CEO of CIBC First Caribbean International Bank, based in Barbados. Haber has nearly 30 years of management experience in the medical distribution industry. He is president of BJH Management LLC, a firm specializing in turnaround consulting, private equity and real estate investments. Mercy College President Tim Hall said, “I am excited to see Bruce take on this role. His work on the board thus far has been important and meaningful. His experience and passion for Mercy students is evident in the work he has done here.” Prior to being elected chairman, Haber served as chair of the finance and control committee and as chair of the compensation committee. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in economics and finance from the City College of New York and an M.B.A. in finance from Baruch College.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE Employee volunteers of Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corp. recently participated in the United Way of Dutchess-Orange Make a Difference Day by completing yard work at the home of a retired Korean War veteran, performing a variety of needed tasks at the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, and donating carved pumpkins to the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie. At the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, 15 employees built garden beds, harvested, weeded and prepared food for other volunteers. The farm is member supported with a mission to grow fresh vegetables and fruit, train future farmers, provide hands-on educational programs and improve community access to healthy, locally grown food. Nine Central Hudson employees created and donated carved Halloween pumpkins to the Children’s Home of Poughkeepsie for the organization’s annual Pumpkin Walk fundraising event. The pumpkins are used to light the nature path trail and the money raised is donated to a charity of the children’s choosing.

FOOD BANK RAISES NEARLY $250,000 The Food Bank for Westchester recently hosted a selection of top chefs and restaurants for its 25th annual An Evening in Good Taste event at 1133 Westchester Ave. in White Plains. The event raised nearly $250,000 . All proceeds from the event went directly to support the food bank’s children’s programs. “We thank everyone who attended this year’s An Evening in Good Taste. Our guests enjoyed fine food, drinks and company while raising money to fight hunger in Westchester,” said Ellen Lynch, president and CEO of Food Bank for Westchester. “Through the generosity of our supporters, we were able to raise nearly $250,000 to support our programs that directly feed and impact the hungry children in our county.”

NEW ROLES FOR TWO MEMBERS OF UNITED HEBREW United Hebrew of New Rochelle board of directors member Donald Duberstein, one of the longest-serving members of the board with nearly four decades of service, assumed a new role as chairman of the board effective Oct. 29, according to Rita Mabli, president and CEO of United Hebrew. Current Chairman Michael Rozen will serve as senior chairman succeeding Malcolm Lazarus, who will become board secretary. “Donald, Malcolm and Michael have been stalwart supporters of United Hebrew for many years and have played instrumental roles in helping us build an outstanding campus of comprehensive care to serve the region’s aging population,” Mabli said. “We look forward to their continued support as we add vital services to our 7.5-acre campus, including Willow Gardens Assisted Living for people with Alzheimer’s and other memory issues, and Meadow Lane, which will provide affordable

housing for seniors.” United Hebrew is a nonprofit, nonsectarian, multiservice campus of comprehensive care. Duberstein, who joined the board in 1976, described his involvement with United Hebrew “as extremely fulfilling” because of its commitment to residents and patients and its extraordinary standards of care giving. Rozen, a retired real estate executive and resident of Scarsdale noted that since he joined the board in 2003 and became chairman in 2007, “The way of providing health care has changed tremendously and we have moved with the times.” Lazarus, a successful business owner who lives in Scarsdale joined the board in 1982 and has served five times as president, from 1993 through 2007, during which time he also served as chairman; he became senior chairman in 2007.

The Mill at Middletown is featured in New York state’s HOME Coalition’s 2015 HOME Success Stories report as one of the region’s success stories. The project, a collaboration of agencies and funders, including Regional Economic Community Action Program (RECAP) and the Leviticus Fund, is transforming a dilapidated historic hat and silk manufacturing factory into commercial space and affordable housing. Other partners in the $14.7 million renovation include the Orange County HOME Investment Partnerships Program, the Community Preservation Corp., New York State Homes and Community Renewal, Raymond James Tax Credit Funds Inc., the Federal Home Loan Bank and Urban Initiative. RECAP was established in 1965 after President Lyndon Johnson’s “State of the Union Address” a year earlier encouraged Americans to eradicate poverty and build a “Great Society.” A model called the Community Action Program was created and agencies sprung up across the country. In 2014, the New York State Department of State designated RECAP as the official community action agency serving the city of Newburgh. Funds were administered to offer new services to the city’s at-risk populations including community referrals, job training and nutrition.
