Grace Church To Close Homeless Shelter Next to Cappelli Hotel

Hits: 0

WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. November 23, 2004: Grace Church announced to the Journal News yesterday that they would close Samaritan House at 33 Church Street, their shelter for homeless women, which had it remained open would be a next door neighbor of the Cappelli Hotel and Condominiums at 221 Main Street. The announcment of the closure came on the same day Louis Cappelli announced a $1,000,000 gift to Grace Church.


Susan Elan’s story in The Journal News today reports the Rector of Grace Church, Janet Vincent as saying the reason for the closing of Samaritan House is because Grace Church has not been able to raise enough money to keep all church programs going. Elan reports Rector Janet Vincent as saying she would not use any of the Cappelli $1,000,000 windfall  to make up the $50,000 shortfall needed to bring Samaritan House to break even. Instead, Vincent said, the money would be used to renovate the Parish House which includes, according to the article the Grace Church soup kitchen and day-care center.


Elan’s article notes the Department of Social Services First Deputy Commissioner, Nancy Travers, as being surprised at the announced closure. Travers is reported saying the D.S.S. had advanced them money in the past when Samaritan House had financial problems. Commissioner Travers is reported as saying the D.S.S. was contemplating increasing the approximate $600,000 funding 5%. The Samaritan House Director is reported saying the shelter needed an 8% increase to break even or about $50,000.00.


Ms. Elan reports the fifteen women now being housed will be relocated to other shelters within the city.


This is not the first time Grace Church and the Department of Social Services have been apart on accounting.


In 2002, Grace Church was found by the Department of Social Services to be billing D.S.S. more money than they were actually charging for day care, according to  Maryfaith Fortunate, the Director of Day Care, who spoke with a reporter for WPCNR, Teresa Kramarz, at the time.


The Department of Social Services reduced their funding of the Grace Day Care fees when the D.S.S. discovered they had been making a mistake paying to Grace Church Day Care the full Title XX entitlement, which was $800 per child at the time, when Grace Church was charging parents only $600.


The daycare fee at Grace had to be raised from $600 to $800, causing some parents, who were not fully subsidized by the Department of Social Services to drop out. Grace Church was forced to pay back approximately $55,000 to the Department of Social Services, as a result of the overbilling they had charged the Department of Social Services.


As a result of Grace Day Care having to increase the monthly fee, a number of parents left Grace Church Day Care at the time.

PIN Number Fraud — Latest TeleThief Technique

Hits: 0

WPCNR WHITE PLAINS LAW JOURNAL. From Sonny The Solicitor. November 22, 2004: Sonny the Barrister reports the experience of a friend of his and says this new telemarketing fraud is being worked on credit card holders in the tri-state area. Here is his report:


I received this from a friend and thought that you should know about it so you can protect yourself.

The scam works like this:

Person calling says, “this is , and I’m calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge number is 12460. Your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I’m calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by bank. Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a marketing company based in Arizona?”


When you say “No”, the caller continues with, “Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you your address), is that correct?”



You say “yes.” The caller continues… “I will be starting a Fraud investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1-800 number listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this Control #” The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. “Do you need me to read it again?”

Here’s the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works. The caller then says, “He needs to verify you are in possession of your card.”  He’ll ask you to “turn your card over and look for some numbers. There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are your card number, the next 3 are the ‘Security Numbers’ that verify you are in possession of the card. These are the numbers you use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. Read me the 3 numbers.”


After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he’ll say ,”That is correct. I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other questions?” After you say No, the caller then thanks you and states, “Don’t hesitate to call back if you do,” and hangs up.  You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the card number. But after we were called on Wednesday, we called back within 20 minutes to ask a question. Are we glad we did!

The REAL VISA Security Department told us it was a scam and in the last 15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charge on our card. Long story made short, we made a real fraud report and closed the VISA card, and they are reissuing us a new number. What the scammers wants is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. Don’t give it to them.

Instead, tell them you’ll call VISA or Master card direct. The real VISA told us that they will never ask for anything on the card as they already know the information since they issued the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think you’re receiving a credit. However, by the time you get your statement, you’ll see charges for purchases you didn’t make, and by then it’s almost too late and/or harder to actually file a fraud report.

What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday, I got a call from a “Jason Richardson of MasterCard” with a word-for-word repeat of the VISA scam. This time I didn’t let him finish. I hung up! We filed a police report, as instructed by VISA. The police said they are taking several of these reports daily! They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this scam is happening.

Please pass this on to all your friends. By informing each other, we protect each other. Thank-You.

The Day President John F. Kennedy Was Shot.

Hits: 0

WPCNR NEWS COMMENT. By John F. Bailey. November 22, 2004: Forty-one years ago at about midday today, President John F. Kennedy was shot. When I heard the news, I was heading to Gray Chapel at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. It was sobering news. Then within the hour it was reported that the President was dead, and the search was on for potential suspects.

Persons in their late 50s can probably remember exactly what they were doing when they heard that electrifying news told them. Disbelief. Concern. Sadness. President Kennedy’s popularity was ebbing at that time. The public was initially inspired by the vision of Camelot and the likable, energetic young president. However, by the time he was assassinated, President Kennedy was coming under harsh criticism for his foreign policy and his inability to move an agenda through congress. He was ridiculed by impressionists and pushed around by congressional heavyweights.


But, when he was shot, the American public, even those who disagreed with his politics and considered him in over his head in the presidency, were stunned by grief and horror. Nothing had happened like that in America since 1901 when President William McKinley was assassinated. An entire nation reflected in guilt for a week as the three television networks showed 24 hours a day assassination and funeral coverage.


Until the Trade Center Horror in 2001, this nation had not experienced anything on that national scale of reaction to an event.


Were we a more sensitive nation then? More sensitive to what killing actually is? I wonder. In the fast-moving sensationalism of news today, would the same sensitivity be there today?


Or, have we been hardened to violence, and do we now see violence as more of an acceptable solution to problems than to be avoided at all costs?


I remember how Americans sat mesmerized in front of their televisions as the Kennedy goodbye played out. I remember, too how Kennedy’s death swiftly paved the way for the landmark Civil Rights act of 1965, architected by Kennedy’s successor, Lyndon B. Johnson. That legislation, without Kennedy’s assassination would probably never have been passed. I believe it passed because of collective guilt over Kennedy’s demise.


For 41 years, politicians, when their charisma is measured, have always been compared to Mr. Kennedy. However, charismas does not get things done. Does not make for change by itself. It is nice but it achieves nothing unless you have some solid ideas, management skills, and are willing to work hard for it. Even, then, as a recent Kennedyesque President found out, it may not happen

Westchester C.C. Seeks $14 Million in funds for Immigrant Center.

Hits: 0

WPCNR SCHOOL DAYS. From Westchester Community College (EDITED) November 20, 2004: The Westchester Community College Foundation today launched a $14 million capital campaign that will ensure the creation of the WCC’s planned Gateway Center which is envisioned as an institution to aid immigrants into weaving seamlessly into the fabric of America.


 


 Dr. Joseph N. Hankin, President, Westchester Community College, told the audience. “No place like this exists that will provide the opportunity for foreign-born men and women to learn about America—its language, its history, its economy, citizenship and social makeup. Gateway Center, I expect, will become a model for other colleges across the country.”


The fund-raising campaign was announced at a media luncheon attend by a crowd of 200 that included state, county and local municipal officials, educators and leaders of the business community.


 


The College also revealed the exciting news that $6.2 million has been raised toward a goal of $14 million.


 


David Swope, Westchester Community College Foundation co-chair of the Campaign Steering Committee with Elinor Urstadt, cautioned that there was still a long way to go and that participation from all sectors—corporations, foundations and private individuals—was paramount to the project’s success. “The goals for the Gateway Center are clear and straightforward—providing the education, training and support that foreign-born men and women need to move forward. The Campaign is our opportunity to enable them to gain greater economic self-sufficiency and to enjoy productive participation in our democratic society.”


 


The College has thus far secured $12 million from New York State and $14 million from  Westchester County for the project. To complete it, the Westchester Community College Foundation will need to raise $14 million, $9 million for construction and $5 million toward programming and scholarships. The Gateway Center is expected to cost a total of $40 million and open in 2008.


 


Polshek Partnership, a world-renowned firm based in New York City, was named architect for the project with partners Susan Rodriguez (FAIA) and Tim Hartung (FAIA) leading the effort.


 


“We are proud to have Polshek Partnership on board to design what will be the gateway to our campus and a signature building for the college,” said Tim Carey, Chairman of the Westchester Community College Board of Trustees. “This will be the first sustainable building developed with the help of the Westchester County Government, following Governor Pataki’s vision of creating a harmony between the built and natural environments.” The Gateway Center will face the East Gate entrance, and it is hoped that its design will reflect the project’s mission by being a welcoming, embracing beacon for all who experience it.


 


The Gateway Center is intended to build upon the lessons learned by Westchester Community College during its long history of educating foreign-born students which today number 4,000 between those studying English and those pursuing degrees. The concept is grounded in the recent findings of a three-year study, conducted in partnership with the college and the Westchester business community, funded by a grant from the Hitachi Foundation.  The study identified priorities of foreign-born students seeking advancement, including English Language Learning (ELL), cultural training, technology education, a need for education, training and assistance acquiring “second jobs” or careers, and access to higher education.


 


The Gateway Center aims to respond to these finding by providing both core and advanced curricula, utilizing an interdisciplinary education approach. The Gateway Center will provide an expansion of existing resources and space. Included is a broader array of ELL courses and specialized training programs and support resources designed to afford men and women the opportunity to gain vitally needed knowledge and skills to develop a better understanding of the culture and systems of this country. The Center will promote interaction among foreign and native-born students, volunteers, and the general college population, to engage these new members of the community in the American college experience while bringing their cultural and linguistic richness to the campus.


 


The Center will also lead in new directions, moving forward with fresh opportunities for these new residents to benefit from: specialized higher education, workforce development, citizenship, entrepreneurship, and more. At the same time, the program will promote interaction between foreign and native-born students as well as intergenerational learning between foreign-born students, senior learners and community volunteers. This synergy will bring cultural and linguistic richness to the campus, engaging these new members of the community more fully into the American college experience.


 


Finally, The Gateway Center will serve as a hub, sharing information and functioning as an educational resource center among other educational institutions, businesses and community based organizations serving immigrant populations. This capacity will enable the community to take a proactive approach to new challenges and to discuss educational issues, programs and policies of importance to the foreign-born men and women and all other members of this community.


 


“The Gateway Center will serve as a forum for new residents to share their culture, language and traditions with each of us—this is what has made America strong,” Dr. Hankin said.


 


Westchester Community College is widely recognized as one of the most comprehensive colleges educating foreign-born men and women. The college has been educating non-English speaking students since the mid-1980s, and today has the largest ELL program in the Hudson Valley Region.


 


With approximately 24,000 credit and non-credit students, Westchester Community College is the largest college in Westchester County and is consistently the number one college choice of high school graduates in the County. 


 

Westchester Community College is dedicated to the belief that growth and adaptation through educational experience are possible for individuals at all stages of development. The goal of the college is to be accessible, adaptable, and dedicated to lifelong learning while sensitive to the individual needs of our diverse population.  Westchester Community College Foundation, a 501-C3 not-for-profit corporation, is the fund-raising arm of the college.
