MGM Resorts floats $675M casino complex on Bridgeport waterfront Mixed reaction in Fairfield

GM Resorts International wants to bring the first casino to Fairfield County and the first nontribal gaming venue to Connecticut with a $675 million development in partnership with RCI Group, the Miami Beach-based developer of

Bridgeport’s Steelepointe Harbor.

The proposed MGM Bridgeport at RCI’s mixed-use waterfront development would feature a 300-room hotel; a 100,000-square-foot casino with 2,000 slot machines and 160 table games; 30,000 square feet of retail space; a boardwalk on the Yellow Mill River with a 900-foot dock, retail outlets and outdoor entertainment; a 20,000-square-foot entertainment venue with a 700-

seat theater; and 60,800 square feet of dining space that would include five restaurants and six bar and lounge locations.

Unveiling its proposed project at a Sept. 18 press conference, MGM Resorts touted financial and economic benefits that include a one-time, $50 million gaming license fee paid to the state; $303 million in state gaming tax revenue in 2019 and $328 million by 2023; 2,000 jobs at the resort casino and 5,000 indirect jobs, and a minimum of $8 million in annual payments to the city of Bridgeport. The Nevada company also projected a total of $667 million in incremental tax revenues from the resort casino over the next five years. » MGM, page 8

f you visit Manhattanville College’s website for its master of science degree in sports business management, you might be surprised by what you see posted under the program’s description.

“This is not a program for ‘sports fans,’” the first line reads.

On the contrary, the master’s degree program at the private college in Purchase focuses on the business end of the sports industry, an estimated $600 billion global enterprise.

“It’s a business program first and foremost, because sports is business,” said David Torromeo, director of the program. “It’s not all fun and games, and that’s something they (students) have to learn.”

The program has proven popular with students who hope to find careers that allow them to work close to the sport they love.

“Your passion might be the Mets,” Torromeo said. “You love the Mets, but you have to align that passion with your skill set.”

The graduate program, which will celebrate the graduation of its 10th group of students at an event later this month, aims to create the next wave of leaders in the sports industry. With internships, a carefully curated curriculum and a slew of in-the-know professors, the program tackles all of the pertinent areas of the business.

“This is the perfect location for this program,” Torromeo said.

“Obviously in the city, you have all

the teams, all the leagues, but you also have world-class, worldwide companies right in your backyard.”

Those close-to-campus organizations include the United States Tennis Association, headquartered on West Red Oak Lane in the town of Harrison; and sports and entertainment marketing heavyweight Octagon in Stamford, to name a few.

And those are just the sports brands.

“MasterCard (headquartered in Purchase) has a huge sports marketing department,” Torromeo said, “and around the corner is Pepsi, and if you watch any football, there’s a pretty big organization too in terms of their sports marketing efforts.”

Torromeo has been with the program since its inception in July 2006. A former athlete himself, he held a variety of positions across the industry, from athletic director at Iona College to vice president of operations for the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame, prior to joining Manhattanville.

“I tell my students, ‘Sometimes you’re going to have a goal, and you’re not going to be able to achieve that goal, but you’re going to say, ‘Thank God,’” Torromeo said.

For Torromeo, that goal was to become a big-shot public relations director by the age of 35. Though he never pictured himself working on a college campus — at least not prior to his late middle age, he joked — the opportunity the » SPORTS, page 8

Panel weighs in on how to find and keep good employees

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH

rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

n talking with the companies, large and small, that make up the membership of The Business Council of Westchester, BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon said she hears a common concern.

“Our members consistently tell us that finding good employees and keeping good talent, especially in these days of very low unemployment and a very competitive marketplace, is a real challenge and a challenge to their business growth,” Gordon told the Business Journal.

To help address that concern, the business group hosted a conference on attracting and retaining talent on Sept. 19 at Manhattanville College.

Titled “The Attraction Factor: What Drives The Chemistry, Culture and Cohesion of Today’s Successful Workforce,” the halfday conference featured two panel discussions and a keynote address from Jessica Schilling, Heineken USA’s senior vice president of human resources.

Schilling said Heineken recently moved several marketing employees from its Manhattan offices to White Plains, a switch that she said the company felt would help with cohesion, but did add some time to the commute for several of the employees.

For the move to be well received, it was important that the company remain flexible by offering employees the option to work some days from home, while also creating a unique environment, Schilling said.

“Our belief is that if you make the company special, and you are flexible with people’s needs, you can make it work and make it happen,” she said.

Sheila Appel, the U.S. regional director of corporate citizenship for IBM, moderated the two panel discussions. She said that IBM has started to use the term “new collar jobs” to describe its shift away from placing top value on having the exact degree for a job and more toward having the necessary skills.

Ten years ago, “For IBM and others, you’d really be looking at what were the educational degrees that people had for the jobs and careers you have in your industry?” Appel told the Business Journal between panels.

“Today what we’re finding is a skill gap. So when we talk about talent, it’s really synonymous with the skills of the 21st century.”

In the day’s second panel, the conversation focused on both finding and elevating employees with skills that fit a company’s need and culture.

“What I look for in particular is people who compete and people who want to be part of a winning culture,” said Kristin Bernert, senior vice president of business operations for the New York Knicks and Westchester Knicks.

That’s driven in part by her belief, she said, that the attitude and work of the Knicks business and operations employees can impact what happens on the court.

“If our players feel like we have their backs, if our players feel like everyone in the organization is giving 100 percent and we’re on the same page, communicating, collaborating and being a great teammate, then they may do the same thing on the court that we are demonstrating behind the scenes.”

of Altium Wealth Management in Purchase, said his firm tries to create an environment where everyone from interns to upper management can be heard. The company hosts monthly town halls where anyone can discuss their thoughts and ideas with the rest of

the employees.

“We want to empower everyone to have a role in taking on leadership in the organization,” he said.

Bob Oakes, vice president of global human resources for Ampacet Corp. in Tarrytown, said it’s important that employees feel safe to make mistakes. Ampacet is an international manufacturer of color additives for plastics. He said the company tries to encourage employees to try new approaches, even if it leads to errors.

“We want you to take initiative, we want you to take those leaderships roles,” Oakes said. “If you see a void in the room, fill it. Do something about it… It’s OK to make a mistake. I think that’s how we help facilitate and develop leaders in the organization.”

IN THE FAMILY

As Candlewood East Marina’s captain casts off, the O’Hara family hopes for continued smooth sailing

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

fter 35 years of owning and running Candlewood East Marina in Brookfield, Mitch O’Hara Sr. is ready to hang it up.

Probably.

“My wife and I have been working for 60-some years,” O’Hara said during a recent visit to the marina, noting that before buying Candlewood East in 1983, he had spent 22 years working for the Byrne Brothers Chevrolet dealership in White Plains.

“I haven’t had a Saturday off in a long time,” the marina president mused. “We have a wonderful deck at our house in Brookfield that I haven’t sat on once this summer.”

“Before you get to feeling too sorry for him, you should know that he spends a lot of time on the deck at (the marina’s restaurant) Ships Galley,” interjected co-owner, vice president and son Mitch O’Hara Jr. Nevertheless, he said, “He’s threatened to retire at least three times before, but this time I think it’s really happening.”

With a formal succession plan in place, O’Hara Sr. said he expects to retire on or about Nov. 1, when the 81-year-old’s wife, Ruth — controller and “the rock,” according to O’Hara Jr. — turns 80.

“She’s going to have a harder time with it than he will,” O’Hara Jr. said. “She has a hand in a lot of things and the idea of finally letting someone else do it isn’t going to be easy.”

Ruth wasn’t available for comment, but O’Hara Jr. said she’s already butted heads — in a friendly way — with his daughter Michele, who is taking over the company’s controller position.

Candlewood East is very much a family affair. In addition to the aforementioned, O’Hara Sr.’s daughter Sandy Chengeri serves as secretary and treasurer; her husband, Michael Chengeri, is service manager; daughter-in-law and O’Hara Jr.’s wife, Lori, manages the Ships Galley; and another of O’Hara Jr.’s daughters, Carolyn, is working part time as she earns a business management degree.

Sandy’s son Michael was in charge of shipping and receiving before recently moving to Florida.

“Working so closely with so many family members has its ups and downs,” O’Hara Jr. said. “Things can get a little heated sometimes. But my father and I have always had a great relationship. Even when we’ve gone at it, everything’s okay by the next day.”

Things seem to be more than okay for the business. As a privately held company, Candlewood East does not divulge revenue, but O’Hara Jr. said it has experienced 10 percent growth over the past few years and is on target to realize similar growth this year.

“Of course, when revenues go up, costs do too,” he said.

It’s been “quite a ride,” O’Hara Sr. said.

A trip to Lake George after the Chevy dealership closed led him to join the marina and, when it went up for sale, to buy it for $490,000 in 1983.

“It was a pretty big step, given that we’d only recently bought a boat, which at that time was usually sitting in our driveway in White Plains,” O’Hara Jr. said. “I was at Clarkson College when my parents asked if I wanted to partner with them in the business. I only knew Candlewood as a place to go boating.”

Candlewood East at the time “was a little rundown,” he said, consisting of 80 slips and catering to sailboats. But a steady increase in powerboat traffic at 8.4-squaremile Candlewood Lake soon led to a change in direction. By the early 1990s the marina had made the switch, selling powerboats by the likes of Nautique and especially Cobalt, which O’Hara Jr. describes as “the BMW or Lexus” of powerboats.

Cobalt would prove to be the catalyst for Candlewood East’s growth. “They took us to the dance,” O’Hara Sr. said. An expensive proposition — base prices today are in the $120,000 to $150,000 range — the O’Haras originally took four Cobalts, and ended up selling 15 in their first year. Almost all of the boats the company sells are in the 20- to 26-foot range, he said.

“We’re now one of the largest Cobalt dealers in the country,” O’Hara Jr. said.

In 2008, Candlewood East bought what was a tennis and fitness club across the street from its lake property at 204 Candlewood Lake Drive. They transformed it into a 40,000-square-foot facility with an indoor boat showroom displaying new and pre-

owned boats, a service department, heated indoor rack storage for 120 boats and additional outdoor storage.

In 2013, a 5,400-square-foot waterfront club house was completed, affording members access to 240 boat slips, three acres of picnic grounds, 24-hour security, a private launching ramp, a designated swimming area with lifeguard, playground, conference center, store, the restaurant and restrooms with showers. Each of those projects cost about $2 million, O’Hara Jr. said.

“What we’ve done is create a destination,” he said. “There’s plenty to do for family members who may not want to join dad and the kids on the lake all day.”

Further expansion is not on the immediate horizon, he said. “We’re the right size for now.”

Annual membership rates are $5,300 for a single slip and $4,300 for a double-berth. A social membership for those with lake houses who don’t need a slip but are attracted to the site’s other amenities goes for $1,750. O’Hara Jr. said all three categories have waiting lists.

“We’re more expensive than our neighbors are,” he said. “But we offer a lot more as well.”

He said that Candlewood East operates on a “three-legged stool” model, consisting of the slips and storage, service, and sales.

“We’ve been lucky in that, if one of the legs is a little wobbly at a given time, the other two are solid enough” to withstand the downturn, he said.

O' HaraJr. was confident that the business will remain in the family for the foreseeable future.

“Michele is already telling me all the things I’m doing wrong,” the 54-year-old laughed. “She’s got big plans for when I retire.

Even though I don’t think I’ll be doing this when I’m 80, I keep telling her that I’m not ready to get tossed out yet.”

O’Hara Sr. said that even if retirement does become a reality this fall, he expects to keep a hand in by dealing with boat registrations and the like.

“It’s been so rewarding,” he said, “especially since I didn’t inherit this business I built it.”

But “I’m done,It’s time for another generation to take over. They know where to send my check.”

CULINARY INSTITUTE COOKS UP NEW DEGREE The Culinary Institute of America announced its first bachelor's degree in culinary arts designed for students who have at least 30 eligible transfer credits from another college.

Aimed at career changers and college students, the program allows transfer students to use college credits they have already earned to speed up their path to a bachelor's degree from the CIA in Hyde Park.

"This new degree is an opportunity for those who may have gone to college with another career in mind and are now looking for an entry into the many career options in the exciting food world," said Michael Sperling, vice president for academic affairs. "The CIA's bachelor's degree in culinary arts will help them explore food career pathways, refine their skills and elevate their professional stature as they enter the industry."

The transfer credits will be applied toward liberal arts requirements and free electives. Students will gain field experience during a three-credit internship and have an opportunity to participate in the college's semester-away academic concentrations in either advanced wine, beverage and hospitality; Asian cuisine; farm to table; Italian cuisine or Latin cuisine.

Transfer and life achievement credits can also be applied to the completion of the school's bachelor’s degree in hospitality management.

The school also offers majors in food business management, culinary science and applied food studies. Associate degrees are offered in culinary arts and baking and pastry arts.

The school has branch campuses in California, Texas and Singapore.

CENTENE CORP. ACQUIRES FIDELIS CARE FOR $3.75B Queens-based nonprofit health insurer Fidelis Care has reached a deal to be acquired for $3.75 billion by Centene Corp., a Fortune 500 company and the largest Medicaid managed care organization in the country.

In its Sept. 12 announcement, Centene said the deal expands its national leadership in government-sponsored health care into New York. Through the deal, Centene inherits a leading presence in New York, where Fidelis Care has 1.6 million members as of June 30. Fidelis had total revenues of $4.8 billion for the first half of the year, according to the announcement. Centene said the combined company would have revenues of more than $60 billion next year.

Fidelis offers qualified health plans sold on the state insurance marketplace, Child Health Plus, the Essential Plan, Medicaid and Medicare Advantage products.

Centene described Fidelis as having "a successfully diversified business," with a statewide network of approximately 70,000 providers.

"Centene's and Fidelis Care's missions are fully aligned in terms of promoting health through high quality, accessible care and services for all and advocating for health policy that accords true dignity and respect for all people, especially the underserved," said Michael F. Neidorff, chairman, president

and CEO of Centene.

Centene said it will keep Fidelis' 4,000 employees, Queens headquarters and additional offices. Along with locations further upstate, Fidelis has satellite locations in Poughkeepsie and Suffern and community locations in Yonkers and Spring Valley.

Fidelis has the largest share of qualified health plans sold on the state's exchange and the largest share of essential plans, according to the New York State of Health 2017 Open Enrollment Report.

The company is also a leader in the state insurance market in Westchester. Fidelis has the largest share of Westchester County's qualified health plan market. Just fewer than 4,000 customers in Westchester bought a Qualified Health Plan through Fidelis' last enrollment period, about 34 percent of customers.

In Westchester, 7,168 customers bought an essential plan through Fidelis on the state exchange, leading the county's market with 31 percent of customers.

In a separate statement, Fidelis said joining with Centene gives it "the support, investment and innovation that are necessary to meet the health care needs of New York State residents — today and in the future."

Centene said it expected to close the deal early next year.

No faux pas, it’s a four-paw hotel

Vet ready to open pet wellness, care facility in Stamford

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

nother day, another veterinarian office opening?

Not so fast, at least when it comes to Spot On Veterinary Hospital & Hotel. Billed as “a first-of-its-kind pet wellness and care destination in the Northeast,” the 16,000-squarefoot facility, set to open in October, will go well beyond rabies shots and lectures about doggy dental hygiene.

Designed to attract customers throughout most of Fairfield and Westchester counties, Spot On — at 184 Selleck St. in Stamford near the Old Greenwich border — will provide not only the usual vet services, but also what founder Dr. Philip Putter describes as “a four-star hotel” for dogs and cats.

Instead of kennels there are 68 suites of varying size and cost, each promising plush bedding, a television and glass-front walls and cameras for staff monitoring. Pet owners can also access the webcams via mobile devices. Complimentary bedtime belly rub, playtime and feedings are also included, with a Greenwich-based chef available for special meals, Putter said.

The hospital features six medical treatment rooms, including a private comfort suite with a separate entrance; a separate dental surgery suite; intensive care unit; surgical equipment such as a CO2 laser, which removes skin layers by vaporization rather than with chemicals or sanding; digital dental and whole-body X-ray equipment; and holistic and therapeutic therapies like acupuncture and veterinary Chinese medicine.

There’s also a day care component, with three expansive, fenced-in indoor play areas totaling 6,000 square feet that include agility equipment, as well as a fenced-in outdoor play park — again with remote viewing available for owners via livestream. Pickups and dropoffs can be done by walk-in, curbside, or via a “Spot On Chauffeur” for an additional cost.

Grooming and styling are also available — with facials and massages offer — and Spot On has even dedicated space for separate, 1,000-square-foot dog and cat adoption centers. Funded by client Brooke Garden, the Garden Adoption Center will house each of up to 15 canines in a glass-front suite with access to a communal living room for socialization and training. Its cat adoption center, funded by a private donor, affords each of up

to 35 cats a five-story glass-front tower with access to a dedicated cat playroom for socialization, mental stimulation and exercise.

Spot On will also continue to make house calls, which Putter has been doing since leaving a Greenwich veterinary office and going out on his own in 2015.

“To me, it’s all about transparency,” the Nyack resident said. “I never felt entirely comfortable letting my dog stay in the facilities I’ve worked at, even when I was the one training the person providing care. The accountability and consistency weren’t there. People would tend to just do what was easy.”

Thanks to his dedication in the Spot On van, Putter said he will be opening shop with about 650 human and 900 animal clients already in place.

Although he said he has no formal design background, Putter and his wife, Rebecca, were careful to make things as pleasing aesthetically as they are medically and holistically at the multimillion-dollar practice.

Tiles were selected that include ridges for better paw-gripping, while a pheremonally attractive “signature scent” will be available throughout the facility, both to put pets at ease and to mask the odors that arise with high pet traffic.

Even the staff will wear dark uniforms and scrubs, rather than the traditional lab-coat white. “We know that for dogs, that makes it look like a great big white blob is approaching them — not quite the effect we want,” Putter said.

In the short term, Putter plans to hire about 25 people and grow his workforce to 50, with three veterinarians and four to five staffers per doctor. He said he’s already interviewed more than 300 people for Spot On’s various positions.

As for those house calls, he said he anticipated adding another couple of vans within the year.

MGM — » » From page 1

The company in its gaming tax projections estimated the Bridgeport casino would generate $28 million more for the state in 2019 than Connecticut’s two existing tribal casinos and $83 million more than the off-reservation tribal casino proposed for East Windsor.

“MGM Bridgeport is the right development at the right time and in the right place,” said MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO James J. Murren, returning to his native Bridgeport for the recent announcement. MGM Resorts said the project will be constructed entirely with private funding.

MGM Resorts said the project will additionally reap $4.5 million in annual total payments to surrounding municipalities. The company also plans to create a workforce development and training program in New Haven for future casino employees.

“There is one phrase to encapsulate my support for this project which will benefit Connecticut’s two largest cities,” said New Haven Mayor Toni Harp, “and that phrase is ‘jobs creation.’ Bold initiatives that engage private capital that will yield significant revenue in the public sector over time are needed.

This is that initiative.”

Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim, who earlier this year expressed doubt about the economic benefits that a casino brings to a host community in an interview with the Business Journal, spoke favorably of the proposed casino’s impact on the city at the waterfront press conference. “Seven thousand jobs — and after some 2,000 permanent jobs — I think that is the thing economic recoveries are built on,” he said.

sports management program provided was too enticing to pass up. “It was a startup thing, building it from scratch, which really appealed to me.”

The master’s degree program began with just four classes and 35 students. Since that time, “It’s taken off,” Torromeo said, with students travelling across the globe to attend.

The program, which can take from 18 months to three years to complete depending on how aggressive students are with their scheduling, has seen more than 340 graduates.

have seen their combined gaming revenue drop by 7.5 percent between 2013 and 2015, to $1.6 billion, according to Casino City’s 2017 Indian Gaming Industry Report. Nationally, however, casino gaming revenue on the rise.

Connecticut state law gives exclusive casino development rights on nontribal lands to MMCT Venture, a partnership of the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes.

MMCT is pursuing approval of a $300 million satellite casino in East Windsor that is viewed by many as a rival venue to MGM’s planned casino located 15 miles across the state border in Springfield, Massachusetts, which is set to open next year. MGM challenged MMCT’s exclusive control of Connecticut gaming in court, but its lawsuit was dismissed in June.

However, as MGM Resorts was previewing its project in Bridgeport, the U.S. Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs announced a delay in its required approval of the tribes’ East Windsor project.

In a letter to state Attorney General George Jepsen, Michael S. Black, acting assistant secretary for Indian affairs, said federal officials found “insufficient information upon which to make a decision as to whether a new casino operated by the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot Tribes would or would not violate the exclusivity clauses of the gaming procedures” that limit casinos in the state to reservation lands. “The tribes have entered into an agreement with the state whereby they have agreed that the exclusivity provisions will not be breached by this arrangement.

Therefore, our action is unnecessary at this time.”

In the wake of the MGM Resorts announceement, Andrew Doba, a spokesman for MMCT, blasted the Bridgeport project.

"Simply put, authorization of this facility would violate the existing compacts between the two tribes and the state, which would immediately end the slot payments that cur-

rently sends the state hundreds of millions a year in much needed revenue," Doba said.

"Our state's elected officials saw through their (MGM Resorts’) dishonesty last session, and we expect them to see this latest fib for exactly what it is — another bought- and paidfor piece of misinformation."

MGM Resorts, on a page on its website dedicated to the MGM Bridgeport project, urges Connecticut residents to sign an online petition demanding a change in state law to accommodate the new project and to contact state legislators “to permit this plan to proceed. Ask them to help bring jobs and economic development to Connecticut. Doing nothing would be more of the same that we just can’t afford.”

Gov. Dannel Malloy suggested the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot tribes would decide the fate of MGM Bridgeport. "I can't imagine any scenario under which the tribal nations would agree to open up the (gaming) compact on those grounds," Malloy said. "But perhaps they will."

In Fairfield County, reaction to the MGM Bridgeport proposal was mixed.

Mickey Herbert, president and CEO of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council, said that while his organization has not taken an official position on the project, he was impressed with MGM Resorts’ presentation.

“This could be transformational not only for the city of Bridgeport, but our whole region.

This could make Bridgeport a destination place, especially for people coming up from New York City. I always said that Bridgeport could use a spark, and this was like a bonfire.”

Architect Bruce Beinfeld, founding principal of Beinfeld Architecture PC in Norwalk, who was credited with spearheading the 1990s revitalization of South Norwalk, expressed concern that a standalone development like MGM Bridgeport, instead of a wider economic development

strategy featuring multiple revenue-generating projects, could have results like those in Atlantic City after gaming casinos were introduced there.

“My perception of Atlantic City was that the wealth that was generated there did not filter out into the community as much as it could have and was concentrated in the destination casinos,” he said. “While it was a good job generator, it was not necessarily the kind of development that helps to bring stronger communities.”

Peter Gioia, vice president and economist at the Connecticut Business & Industry Association, also expressed concern about the Bridgeport casino proposal.

“I wish Bridgeport focused a lot more on other developments,” he said. “They have land and the potential to train unemployed people. Financial services support operations or manufacturing would be much more effective for their economic development efforts.”

Gioia added that Interstate 95 would become more clogged because of MGM Bridgeport. “In terms of traffic, it is not an ideal location,” he said.

State Sen. Tony Hwang, a longtime foe of gambling, issued a statement strongly opposing the MGM Bridgeport project.

“Economically, it makes little sense to expand casino gambling when the Northeast faces a growing casino glut,” said the Republican from Fairfield. “You can’t base a successful, sustainable economy on gambling. And what about the human costs?

Casinos spread gambling addiction, debt, bankruptcies and crime. We cannot ignore the societal costs that gambling has brought to Connecticut: The families that have been torn apart, the lost hopes and the suicides.

I will continue to raise awareness about the costs of expanded gambling and speak out for the victims.”

ple. This is nice, niche program.”

About 40 percent of the program’s students are recent college graduates who have quickly realized they need additional education in order to make their way in the industry.

“If you want to work for any sports organization, A, it’s competitive, and B, you’re going to have to show that you’re adding to their bottom line or giving them a talent they need,” Torromeo said. “Fortunately or unfortunately, a master’s degree is what a bachelor’s degree was 25 years ago, so they (these students) realize they need to get something else.”

Other students in the program, though, haven’t seen the inside of a classroom in decades.

“We’ve had guys who already work in the industry, and we’ve had a good number of

career changers,” he said. “We actually had a guy who was successful in finance, made a lot of money, but he hated his job. And who wants to get up every day and go, ‘Good God almighty, I'm miserable’?”

Torromeo said about 40 to 45 percent of the program’s students are female. “There is an opportunity now,” he said of women in the industry. “It’s not the good old boy club anymore, which is good.”

As part of the program, students take classes covering all areas of the business, from marketing and management to the role of a sports agent.

“We have a lot of people interested in becoming agents, because they saw ‘Jerry Maguire,’” the 1996 movie starring Tom Cruise as a hard-driving sports agent Torromeo said.

The curriculum, which Torromeo said

has changed drastically over the years, also includes baseball analytics, digital and social media and sports psychology electives. The school recently added a new degree option for prospective students: entertainment management.

“There are jobs that exist today that nobody had ever heard of 10 years ago,” said the program director. “The reason we have some of these classes is because we have the preeminent people who can teach them.”

Courses are taught by adjunct professors who are industry professionals in their own right. Those well-connected faculty have included writer and editor Art Berke, who spent more than two decades at “Sports Illustrated,” and Eugene Doris, a special advisor for athletics at Fairfield University and former athletics director at both Fairfield and Marist » » SPORTS, page 37

Judge upholds North Castle in affordable housing dispute

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

judge has ruled that the town of North Castle acted legally when it rejected a request by Armonk developer Michael Fareri to transfer an agreement to build affordable housing.

Fareri contended that building six

affordable housing units at the Lumberyard property, 162 Bedford Road, was impractical and would result in a $1.8 million loss. He proposed building the apartments at 470 Main St. instead.

But acting state Supreme Court Justice Anne E. Minihan ruled on Sept. 7 that the decision to transfer the units “is effectively left to the discretion of the town board.”

“I’m really disappointed with the judge’s decision,” Fareri said in a telephone conversation. “At the end of the day, the town won the battle but potentially lost the war.”

In 2015, the town planning board granted Fareri site plan approval to build luxury apartments at the Lumberyard. Six of the 36 units had to be offered as affordable housing.

In March, Fareri asked the town to

approve transferring the affordable housing agreement to the proposed development on Main Street.

He maintains that is not practical to mix “high end” market-rate apartments with below-market-rate apartments.

Market-rate apartments cost more to build, he said, and offer more expensive features and amenities. The Lumberyard design would require tenants to pay monthly common area costs of about $500, while the Main Street tenants would pay about $100.

If not allowed to transfer the obligation, he states in the lawsuit filed on May 3, “the developments will simply not occur.”

He claims that the board rejected his request because he had spoken out against Supervisor Michael Schiliro.

Schiliro had called him a liar at a recent meeting, he said.

Fareri also had demanded that Schiliro recuse himself from the decision because he lives close to the Main Street project and therefore would be adversely affected by affordable housing. The supervisor declined

to do so.

Fareri petitioned the court to compel North Castle to approve a transfer of the apartments and to approve development of both projects “in all other ways.”

Such a remedy is extraordinary, Minihan ruled. The court may compel a government to perform a legal duty only where the petitioner demonstrates that the government is duty-bound to perform the action.

In this case, she said, the law leaves the decision to transfer the apartments to the discretion of the town board.

She also rejected Fareri’s contention that Schiliro was biased, in light of neutral comments he made at the March meeting.

Now the community will not get what is in its best interest, Fareri said: luxury housing and affordable housing at the right locations.

In a divided U.S., political protest becomes an employment issue

BY PHIL HALL

I

phall@westfairinc.com

n the aftermath of last month’s violent political protests in Charlottesville, Virginia, several social media users publicized the names of white supremacists participating in the right-wing march and rally. The publishing of the personal identifying information on the internet, a practice known as doxing, reportedly led to the firing of three participating members of white supremacist groups — two fast-food workers from Tennessee and Vermont and a welder from South Carolina — from their jobs. At

the University of Nevada, students unsuccessfully sought the expulsion of a doxed fellow student who joined in the violent protests.

Also in the wake of the Charlottesville rally, two public safety employees — a Philadelphia firefighter and a police officer in Springfield, Massachusetts — made news reports for their social media postings supporting the white supremacist movement.

The firefighter publicly apologized and the police officer was placed on administrative leave, but neither was removed from their jobs.

Earlier this month, ESPN sportscaster Jemele Hill in a Twitter message called

President Donald Trump “a white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists.” Her Trump comment brought a backlash, with White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders calling it “outrageous” and “a fireable offense.”

ESPN in a statement distanced the company from Hill’s remarks, saying they “do not represent the position of ESPN,” and added that Hill recognized “her actions were inappropriate.” Hill in a subsequent tweet offered no apology, but expressed “regret” that she “painted ESPN in an unfair light.”

The firings and public backlash against right-wing protesters and Hill’s job status in

the wake of her characterization of Trump, have aroused national debate over employees’ constitutional rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. It reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

“When people talk about the First Amendment or free speech, the general idea is that it lets people express their opinions,” said Sachin S. Pandya, a professor at the University of Connecticut School of Law who teaches American employment law. “But the First Amendment protects people against the government. If government restricts your speech, then you invoke the First Amendment.”

“In most states, there is a very sharp separation between the rights of free speech by public employees versus private employers,” Pandya said. “The First Amendment is only applicable to state employers and employees, but doesn’t apply to the private sector.”

Mitchell I. Weingarden, a White Plains attorney specializing in labor and employment law, said the First Amendment was not designed to prevent people from being fired from their jobs.

“Employers don’t have to allow free speech,” he said. “An employer can terminate you for any reason except violation of the will of law, which covers discrimination based on considerations such as age, race, sex, national origin. There is no law that protects you over having certain political views or being outspoken.”

Robert B. Mitchell, a labor and employment law attorney at Mitchell & Sheahan PC in Stratford, said any negative publicity cast on a company by an employee could be seen as grounds for dismissal if it is considered harmful to the company’s operations.

“Say you’re a salesperson and people find out you were down in Charlottesville,” he said. “No one would sell or buy from you. If that becomes an issue that could slop into the workplace, it could be good cause for dismissal.”

Attorney Stuart M. Katz, a principal of Cohen and Wolf PC in Bridgeport, noted that negative publicity that results in a firing need not be political. “Say an employee is involved in a drunken brawl at a baseball game. Everyone reads in the newspaper that he got arrested. As an employer, I could think that’s bad press for the company,”

he said.

New York labor law prohibits discrimination in private-sector employment because of an individual’s “political activities outside of working hours, off of the employer’s premises and without use of the employer’s equipment or other property, if such activities are legal.” New York defines political activities as running for public office, campaigning for a political candidate seeking elected office; and participating in fundraising activities for the benefit of either a candidate, political party or political advocacy group. The law does not cover participation in political rallies or social media messaging.

In Connecticut, state law protects both public-sector and private-sector employees engaged in activities cited in the First Amendment, “provided such activity does not substantially or materially interfere with the employee's bona fide job performance or the working relationship between the employee and the employer.”

“Connecticut is an unusual state because the statute extends the protection that a public employee would have to a private employee,” Pandya said. “You could always bring a lawsuit if you’re fired, but whether or not you win depends on the facts of your case.”

Weingarden said that public employees and private employees who belong to labor unions are also afforded protection from dismissal if their union contracts specifically include a provision for free speech and assembly. Still, “I’ve never seen an employee contract involving a defense against being dismissed that includes being outspoken or having political views opposite of employers,” he said.

Michael Carriger, an assistant professor specializing in management and leadership at Sacred Heart University’s Jack Welch College of Business, said employee contracts could also spell out which activities are not welcomed.

“Generally speaking, what you do on your own time is your business,” he said.

“However, it depends on what’s in your employee contract. If it states you’re a representative of the company, then you are not allowed to represent the company in a negative way, even on your own time. But most contracts do not have that clause.”

In the academic environment, “Universities would be hard-pressed to kick out a student short of the student doing something violent or against the code of policy of the university,” said Terrence P. Dwyer, professor of legal studies in the Division of Justice and Law Administration at Western Connecticut State University’s Ancell School of Business. “Universities can sanction a student for something that happens off-campus — for example, a sexual assault.”

Yet Dwyer worried that expelling or

Randolph M. McLaughlin, a civil rights

attorney and professor at Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law, agreed. “The university is supposed to be an open marketplace for ideas,” he said. “Universities should not be policing the thoughts of students off

campus.”

In the workplace, however, job firings and disciplinary action by employers like those that followed the violent Charlottesville protest could become more common.

"As the political climate becomes more polarized and contentious, employers are going to take a look at the political activities of their employees," said attorney James L. Hyer, a partner at Bashian & Farber LLP in White Plains. That area of employment law is still relatively undeveloped, he noted.

"Due to the rise of social media and the ability to express one's views on politics, employees should be concerned about either making their posts private or limiting who can see them, or maybe not posting at all,” he said. “This is not out of fear of retribution, but the understanding that what is posted online never really goes away."

Annese, a ConvergeOne Company, is proud to announce the three finalists for our inaugural SightLine Education & Technology Grant, which will be presented at our annual SightLine 2017 IT conference. The grant will award $5,000 to a school district, college, or university implementing an innovative solution or project that will empower individuals and/or communities through technology.

This grant will be awarded to the institution that most clearly articulated the planned benefits of their efforts in their nomination, and that funding is deemed to have the largest impact. Any educational institution in the northeastern United States was eligible to apply. SightLine is an annual event bringing together hundreds of IT industry leaders from across the Northeast for two days of education and thought leadership around the intersection of technology and business.

WE ARE VERY PLEASED TO INTRODUCE OUR FINALISTS: Maimonides School of Brookline, Massachusetts, Monticello Central School District in Sullivan County, New York, and Buffalo’s Villa Maria College have been selected for their innovative, tech-based programs, outlined below. The winner will be

announced at the conference kick-off party on Oct. 17th at 6:30 pm at the Albany Capital Center.

MAIMONIDES SCHOOL Maimonides School is seeking to construct a new Science & Innovation Center serving students with tools to discover their innate talents and potential. The Science & Innovation Center will include an upgraded lab and STEAM room (science, technology, engineering-electrical, art-creativity, math) and innovative programs that will spark curiosity and build a continued passion for science, technology, engineering, and math learning. The Science & Innovation Center will give students—more than 75 percent from low-income families—the opportunity to acquire skills for future jobs in a tech-based world.

MONTICELLO CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT The Monticello Central School District is proposing the creation of a K-12 articulation in robotics and coding. Funding from this grant will be used to include a competition through an after-school academy concept that will aim to serve students who lack experiential learning opportunities because of economic constraints. Promoting an after-school academy will not only capture these students, but also provide

teachers with the opportunity to learn the technology themselves without feeling overwhelmed by state standards and testing. The overall impact will be to provide a coordinated infrastructure inclusive of all students that will lead to opportunities and experiences they would not otherwise have.

VILLA MARIA COLLEGE Villa Maria, a private, Roman Catholic liberal arts college, pursuing a technology-enabled Collaboration Room within its library. The Collaboration Room will benefit at-risk students, as well as students with learning differences — two groups that make up more than 50 percent of the school’s population. This dedicated space will improve the quality of Villa Maria’s many techbased programs, such as digital film making, graphic design, and fashion design and merchandising.

Funding will be used to improve Wi-Fi connectivity and security to engage existing students, as well as recruit new students interested in a state-of-the-art learning environment.

C

amilla Gazal and Flavia Naslausky met while working in the financial industry; Flavia for 20 years as a foreign exchange strategist and Camilla for 15 years in emerging market bond sales. They quickly learned they were both looking for a new challenge. Each had small children at the time and shared an appreciation for helping their kids learn in a fun and interactive way.

“We were looking for a new challenge. We both had already made a career in the financial industry and started speaking to each other about the possibility of opening a business on our own. At the time, we both had small kids in elementary and middle school,” said Camilla.

“We realized that we spent so much time following their studies and both of us always loved math. We used it so much in the financial industry and we felt that more could be done in terms of getting kids to love and appreciate it.”

“We knew we wanted to do something in education. We would tutor our own kids at home and help them with their homework and realized the methodology we were using, which

was making it fun for them was interesting to them,” continued Flavia. “The issue at that point though was that we weren’t from an education background. We thought about getting someone in the field to partner with us and potentially franchise. By luck, we met the founder of Zaniac, Paul Zane Pilzer.”

Zaniac is a program that allows children to learn math at their own pace, perfectly aligning with Camilla and Flavia’s ideas for a business.

They convinced him to be his first franchisee and opened the first Zaniac store in Greenwich in 2013.

“We looked at the business model and knew that we wanted to include other STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and math) disciplines in the curriculum. We identified a demand for other tech programs that didn’t exist anywhere. Through robotics, coding, computer programming we developed a more robust tech program for K-8,” said Flavia.

The business has expanded since then, offering reading now with science content. Camilla and Flavia have created a space for children

where they’re inspired and curious and take risks. They’re learning how to share information and they’re getting a whole lot of math through things like robotics, chess and computer programming along with improving their reading skills.

“The kids really make it for us. They’re amazing. There is a magic to Zaniac in how kids perceive it to be a place where they can learn whether they take longer than other kids or not,” said Camilla.

In 2015, Camilla and Flavia opened two more Zaniacs in Westport and New York City. Working with the Women’s Business Development Council was a big part of their success.

“We reached a place in our business where we were kind of stuck in terms of growth. Without the Women’s Business Development Council coming in at that moment we might have lost the opportunity for expansion and the ability to offer new reading and other programming. So, the timing was perfect. The point is that Women’s Business Development Council is there. We were lucky to work with them, and hopefully we can

A four-story, 40,000-square-foot office building at 75 S. Broadway in White Plains has sold for $13.7 million.

New Jersey-based commercial real estate firm KABR Group sold the property to Zef Perlleshi, according to an announcement from Ten-X Commercial, a digital real estate marketplace where the deal was transacted. Dan Lessing, principal of DSR Group in Hackensack, New Jersey, brokered the sale.

The South Broadway building is 96 percent occupied, according to Ten-X, with tenants including the state Department of Education, General Services Administration and state Worker’s Compensation Board.

KABR will retain tenancy of Westchester Business Center, a 23,000-square foot executive workspace on the building's fourth floor.

The building is near the intersection of East Post Road and South Broadway in the city's Central Business District. The property is across the street from the former Westchester Pavilion shopping mall, where national developer Lennar Multifamily Communities LLC, a subsidiary of Lennar Corp., plans to build a $275-million, high-rise apartment, retail and restaurant complex.

KABR Group purchased the building in 2012 and invested more than $1 million in renovations and technological upgrades, the Business Journal reported in 2014.

"The repositioning of 75 South Broadway is another example of KABR executing its value-added business plan,” said Michael Goldstein, managing director of KABR Group.

“We look forward to adding this property to our diverse portfolio and look forward to working with the KABR Group again on future deals," Perlleshi said.

BRAIN & SPINE SURGEONS MOVES TO BIGGER SPACE Brain & Spine Surgeons of New York, a nearly 60-year-old specialty group medical practice in Westchester, has moved its neurosurgical and spine center to expanded offices on the Westchester Avenue office corridor in the town of Harrison.

Formerly at 244 Westchester Ave. on the six-building White Plains Medical Campus of Healthcare Trust of America Inc., the practice has relocated to a 35,163-square-foot space at 4 Westchester Park Drive, part of Heritage Realty Services’ two-building Westchester Park Center in Harrison.

The new location adds more than 10,000

square feet of office space and combines what was three separate offices at the practice’s former location with consolidated waiting and reception areas.

“Our new location opens up new possibilities for our patients and for BSSNY,” said Dr. John Abrahams, president of Brain & Spine Surgeons of New York. “We have patients coming to us from all over the country, so being located in an area that is easily accessible is paramount. With our new offices, it’s even easier for our patients to have access to our world-class surgeons.”

The new office includes on-site, stateof-the-art digital X-ray services, which are both more convenient for patients and provide a higher quality of care, according to Abrahams. “Our goal at BSSNY has always been to give our patients the most advanced technology, along with the highest quality care from world-class physicians,” he said.

Founded in 1958 by the first neurosurgeon in the Hudson Valley, the private practice now includes 10 neurosurgeons and four board-certified spinal orthopedic surgeons who perform more than 2,200 procedures each year.

A spokesman said Brain & Spine Surgeons of New York will continue to operate its office at 21 Reade Place in Poughkeepsie.

TAPPAN ZEE BRIDGE CONTRACTOR SELLS BUILDING A major contractor on the Tappan Zee Bridge replacement project has sold an 8,400-square-foot industrial building at 1418 Route 9D in Wappingers Falls for $1.125 million, or approximately $134 per square foot, Houlihan Lawrence Commercial Group announced.

The single-story, steel-constructed building was sold to Roger Realty, a Dutchess County real estate company, by Granite Construction Northeast, a California company with a regional office in Tarrytown.

Granite Construction is one of four companies that form Tappan Zee Constructors LLC, the joint-venture consortium awarded an approximately $3.1 billion contract by the state in late 2012 to design and build the newly named Gov. Mario M. Cuomo Bridge.

Nicholas Licari, an associate broker at Houlihan Lawrence Commercial Group, represented the seller in the transaction. The buyer was represented by Geraldine Jennings, of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Hudson Valley Properties in LaGrangeville.

www.grassicpas.com Lean drivers are tools used to build a lean organization. Lean drivers consist of: mistake proofing, self-directed cross-functional teams, the workout process, flexibility, succession planning, and expense control. Inherent in all of these tools are elements of employee motivation and empowerment. Any one of these tools can be used separately, but taken together they will enable you to build a very lean moneymaking business.

Mistake proofing: Mistake proofing enables employees to identify and fix problem processes within the business. Employees will be able to identify when an error has occurred or is about to occur, and will be able to take actions that are collectively known as “lower level mistake proofing”. This approach also enables employees to prevent errors entirely through higher level mistake proofing—a way to involve all employees in building a lean moneymaking business. Each and every employee must be trained to identify and mistake proof processes.

Self-Directed Cross-Functional Teams: Self-directed cross-functional teams involve addressing the bigger issues that are not so easily or quickly resolved at the mistake-proofing level. The self-directed methods are used for issues like doubling inventory turns or implementing a company-wide bar-coding system. Using existing resources, employees from different areas of the business are selected to work together to solve the “big problems” by meeting challenges given to them by top management; however, teams work independently, without interference from management. At this point, prior to kick-starting a self-directed team, a member of the management team often tries to solve the problem. (Obviously he or she did not have the solution or the problem would have ceased to exist at all).

The Workout Process: The workout process is a simple and brilliant way to deal with complex issues in a short period of time, (as few as two to three days). It successfully deals with issues by building a consensus business plan resulting in identified action steps with assigned responsibilities and deadlines.

Flexibility: Creating flexibility is essential for success in today’s business environment. Cross-training employees to do several different tasks efficiently, as well as having the right materials and equipment when they are needed, are absolute necessities. The goal is to create the flexibility you need to react to your customers’ changing needs.

Succession Planning: Too often succession planning is neglected, even though it’s essential to every business.

The world today is moving so fast that you can either choose to stay on top of developing your employees on a continuing basis or fire all of them and start over every five years.

So how do you ensure that the organization is continually developing its people? One way is through a succession planning process, where each key employee develops a plan for his or her succession with at least one successor being trained while another is being prepared. This approach will include a formal written plan with action steps detailing how each individual is being prepared, forcing each key employee to develop a successor. It will build a culture of employee development and will ensure a deep bench, or a team player who is always ready to step in when needed.

Expense Control: Expense control will contribute greatly to the bottom line and will help to set expectations for employees. Remember, the goal is to eliminate all the waste in your business, so watching expenses carefully sends the right message about eliminating waste. Everyone can contribute to this effort. While there are many other lean drivers, the ones highlighted above can be implemented by almost any company with a minimum cost commitment.

Most answers on how to improve business exist within the organization. The key to remaining relevant in the marketplace is to become a “Lean Continuous Improvement Company” delivering the highest quality at the lowest possible cost.

WESTCHESTER & FAIRFIELD COUNTY

BUSINESS JOURNALS BRIEFLY

AUGUST HV UNEMPLOYMENT RATE SAME AS JULY

The unemployment rate in the lower Hudson Valley has stalled, according to New York Department of Labor statistics, even as the national rate improved.

The 4.6 percent August unemployment rate in Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties is the same as in July and up from 4.3 percent a year ago.

The three county civilian labor force declined by an estimated 11,400 people from July to August, to 828,200.

Statewide, the unemployment rate was the same, 4.9 percent, in July and August of 2017 and August 2016.

Over the same August to August period,

national unemployment declined 10 percent, from 5 percent to 4.5 percent.

The best August unemployment rates in the three-county region were in Port Chester, Rye and Monroe, at 3.7 percent.

The worst were in Mount Vernon, 6.3; Newburgh, 6.2; and Yonkers, 5.7.

Nonfarm jobs in the region declined by an estimated 6,200 in August, including 4,200 jobs in the private sector and 2,000 in government.

The yearly snapshot remains positive, with 14,000 more jobs in the three counties.

The strongest subsectors last month were transportation and warehousing and ambulatory health care services, each with 400 more jobs.

The greatest losses were in accommodation and food services, down by 1,900 jobs; local government, down by 1,800; and retail trade, down by 1,100.

Unemployment rates are calculated with a U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics model and based partly on a survey of 3,100 households.

Job counts are based on a survey of 18,000 New York employers. Monthly estimates are preliminary and are not adjusted for seasonal influences, such as summer jobs.

The two methods often result in different totals and the numbers can be revised in following months as more information becomes available.

JEPSEN JOINS IN DEMAND TO EQUIFAX Connecticut Attorney General George Jepsen is teaming with the attorneys general from the District of Columbia, Illinois and Pennsylvania to demand that Equifax halt enrollment in its fee-based credit monitoring service following reports of a data breach impacting up to 143 million people.

Although Equifax is offering free credit monitoring services in response to the breach, Jepsen and his fellow attorneys general complained in a letter to the Atlantabased company that it was "seemingly using its own data breach as an opportunity to sell services to breach victims."

While acknowledging that Equifax has agreed to waive credit freeze fees for those who would otherwise be subject to them, the attorneys general argued that Equifax should take steps to reimburse consumers who incur fees to completely freeze their credit with rival credit bureaus Experian

and TransUnion.

"Consumers are understandably angry and upset about this breach, and their feelings are entirely warranted given the extremely sensitive nature of the compromised information," Jepsen said. "This breach has also caused considerable confusion, which could lead breach victims, who are already vulnerable, to inadvertently sign up for a costly program instead of the free service. Additionally, consumers, who are at absolutely no fault in this situation, should not have to pay anyone to completely freeze their credit."

DANBURY OTB PARLOR GAINS ZONING OK Danbury’s first off-track-betting (OTB) parlor has taken a major step forward, following the city zoning commission's 6-3 vote in favor of approving a zoning regulation amendment.

The issue — long a bone of contention for several Danbury residents and businesses — now goes to Danbury’s 21-member City Council, which is expected to take it up as early as next month.

If passed, the amendment would allow the addition of an approximately 1,200-square-foot OTB operation to the second floor of Two Steps Downtown Grille, a longtime fixture at 5 Ives St. Gambling and entertainment company Sportech, which has exclusive licensing rights to OTB in Connecticut, has pledged $750,000 to renovate the eatery and has said that it will provide 1.6 percent of its gross revenue to CityCenter Danbury, the special taxing district formed by merchants in the late 1980s. City officials have estimated that sum could be as much as $100,000 per year.

In July, Sportech opened an OTB at Bobby V’s Restaurant and Sports Bar at 268 Atlantic St. in Stamford.

STEMERMAN SHUTTING HEDGE FUND TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR Greenwich hedge fund manager David Stemerman is shutting down his Conatus Capital Management to pursue the 2018 Republican nomination for governor of Connecticut.

According to a Bloomberg report, Conatus Capital launched in 2008 and manages $1.6 billion. In a letter to investors, Stemerman said Conatus will return 95 percent of its client money by Dec. 22, adding that he would back a new fund run by Amir Mokari, his consumer sector head, that is scheduled to open in January.

The 48-year-old Stemerman also explained to his investors why he was pursuing politics.

“Connecticut — home to my family and business — is in crisis,” he wrote. “I believe

David Stemerman

that too many of our leaders do not understand the challenges we face, nor do they have a strategy for the path forward. I am deeply concerned that a small number of people in our state are thriving while many are struggling to make

ends meet.”

Before launching Conatus, Stemerman was a partner and portfolio manager at Lone Pine Capital LLC. Prior to that, was an analyst at both Ulysses Management, the successor firm to Odyssey Capital, and HPB Associates.

CONNECTICUT LOST 3,900 JOBS IN AUGUST Connecticut lost 3,900 jobs in August compared with July employment numbers, according to a report by the state Labor Department, though the state’s unemployment rate last month fell by two-tenths of a point.

“August’s decline of 3,900 payroll jobs leaves the three-month average job gain in Connecticut nearly flat,” said Andy Condon, director of the department's Office of Research. “Nevertheless, due to a decline in the state’s labor force, the unemployment rate fell to 4.8 percent.”

Connecticut's August unemployment rate was the highest among the six New England states, and higher than the U.S. unemployment rate in August of 4.4 percent.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics revised its July job-loss figure for Connecticut from 600 to 1,100 jobs lost.

As a result, job gains over the year stand at 6,000.

Seven of the state's 10 major industry supersectors, including trade, transportation and utilities, lost jobs last month, while the manufacturing and professional and business services sectors gained and the information sector was flat.

Connecticut has recovered 78.1 percent of the jobs lost during the last recession, according to the state Labor Department.

Schneiderman sees more resistance to bad federal policies

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

D

ifficult times — and the Trump era qualifies, according to state Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman — demand a more active role by state

government.

Speaking the recently at the Business Council of Westchester’s political leadership series in Rye Brook, Schneiderman described how attorneys general from across the country have been responding to “bad policy ideas.”

“I’m your lawyer,” he said. “I view it as my job to protect New Yorkers and to stand up to the federal government whenever it does something that hurts the people I represent.”

Schneiderman, who was first elected to the office in 2010, positioned himself as an activist attorney long before Donald Trump became president. He has prosecuted corrupt politicians, for example, secured billions of dollars in settlements from big banks implicated in the financial crisis and regulated charities more closely.

Even before the presidential election, he sued Trump University and ultimately won a $25 million settlement for students who had been defrauded by a phony curriculum.

He told his Westchester audience that

cated for sanctuary cities and sued to protect immigrants under President Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy.

Pre-Trump investigations and lawsuits have prepared the way, Schneiderman said.

Even as his office was cracking down on corporate excesses and nonprofit scandals and fighting for health care coverage, he said

relationships were being forged with the good actors in those sectors. “We’re seeing a unity of purpose with business, labor and government that is very important,” he said.

Schneiderman said that his colleagues across the country sense more than ever that they can be an effective check on bad public policy. Federal employees who feel shut out by the new administration are

switching to state jobs.

Among those who see serious challenges to the nation’s values and who believe that government is a force for good, “The enthusiasm has been tremendous,” he said.

He said New York’s business and political clout have made the state a leader.

“It’s time for all of us,” Schneiderman said, “to step up to the plate.”

Main Street Rx creates niche among big-box neighbors

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN

I

March of Dimes Greater New York Market Thursday, November 16, 2017 Hilton Westchester • Rye Brook 7:00 a.m.

kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

n a world increasingly dominated by titans like CVS and Walgreens, is there still room for an independent pharmacy? Andy Delillo certainly thinks so, having recently opened Main Street Rx, “a hometown-themed pharmacy” in Newtown’s Plaza South Shopping Center at 266 S. Main St. “We’re willing to fight them in this area,” Delillo declared, saying that the town’s general eschewal of big-box stores proves that it prefers supporting independent companies when it can.

Nevertheless, the proximity of the pharmacies at the Stop & Shop, practically within walking distance at 228 S. Main; Walgreens, less than three miles away at 49 S. Main; and the CVS at 6 Queen St. means that Main Street Rx will have its work cut out for it.

Delillo — who with his wife Diane, son A.J. and daughter-in-law Stevie Schenk are all involved with operating the 2,600-squarefoot store — said that friendly customer service and involvement with local merchants and causes will help Main Street Rx distinguish itself from its behemoth brethren.

Monroe-based Wood Market built the store’s wooden shelves and cabinets — adding the “small town” touch by avoiding the usual glass showcases. And shelf space is set aside for honey, soap and candles from Sporthill Honey Farm of Redding.

Mass market candy, chips, soda and the like won’t be found at Main Street Rx, Delillo said.: “We’ll leave that to Walgreens. We want to keep what we sell as local as possible.”

An unusual feature of its approach to customer service is its free delivery throughout the state. With just one driver on hand, Delillo admitted that accomplishing such deliveries in a timely manner will be a tall order, but said he believes it will become cost-effective as Main Street Rx’s customer base grows.

Involvement with Newtown’s Chamber of Commerce, volunteering as the first aid provider at the recent Newtown Arts Festival and hosting a free Narcan and anti-drugabuse awareness event at the plaza are all helping to spread the word, Delillo said, adding that his son hosts a car show each Wednesday in the plaza’s parking lot.

The Newtown resident’s career started at his father’s construction business on Long Island, after which he moved to Las Vegas in the mid-1990s. There he worked with his brother building home pools as part of a subcontracting agreement with Toll

Brothers. But by 2006 the bottom fell out of the Las Vegas market and he moved to Florida, where he ran a diabetic call center, working with the medical community and pharmacies in the area.

Hooking up with health and wellness website Everyday Health led to the growth of his database by of some 8,000 names per day.

But simply providing names to area pharmacies led to his “eureka moment,” Delillo said.

“They were making all the money, and I was doing all the work.” That drove him to start HSUS Pharmacy in Boca Raton, where he still maintains a second home.

That facility, which includes a call center for both it and Main Street Rx, is similar in scope to the Newtown venture, though he employs seven drivers there to cover the considerably larger state. HSUS just reopened in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma. Delillo said damage was thankfully minimal, though power was out for a couple of weeks.

Having already amassed about 100 customers in just one month of business in Newtown, Delillo said that he’s open to possibly opening additional pharmacies in Connecticut, “obviously depending on how things go.”

He said that he also has an eye on moving to the vacant Union Savings Bank building at the plaza, although the bank is still paying rent for the next several months.

“This is a great area,” he said of Fairfield County and Newtown in particular. “The people are friendly and I’m confident that we can compete here.”

Even the absence of a drive-through window — Newtown generally forbids such features, with the exception of some banks and the CVS — isn’t necessarily a negative, he said.

“We can go out to a customer in the parking lot and give them what they’ve ordered,” he said. “And besides, a drivethrough window is kind of at odds with the image we have.”

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Planning in longer time frames We’re not focusing down the road; we’re completely concentrated on what’s right in front of us. We’re way too reactive and our ideas about what to do next seem to change from day to day.

I know this won’t get us where we want to go. Any suggestion on how to make changes?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Entrepreneurs are capable of great focus and often it’s way too short term. It’s easier to recognize progress when the mileposts are clearly marked.

There are key questions to answer when creating a roadmap for others to follow Entrepreneurs love action and tend to eagerly leap into the fray, willing to deal with uncertainty and create solutions as they go along. Unfortunately, others who are trying to follow along may get lost. And missing warning flags can be dangerous. Documenting goals and making plans make it possible to measure and manage progress.

Confidence is increased when one can gauge how well the business is doing.

Mapping out a set of goals ahead of time provides a necessary frame of reference that can be used to measure real-world results as time and events unfold. Anticipating challenges and documenting how to handle them makes it easier for everyone to recognize and deal with bumps in the road if and when they occur.

A written description of what the business will look like in the future is a tool you can use to communicate with your team.

Writing out a plan also forces you to deal with gaps and inconsistencies. Building a plan with mileposts can be a great exercise that brings the whole team together, aligning around a common set of goals, brainstorming the best ways to get from here to there.

Think of building a plan as being similar to preparing to take a journey. The map and guidebook may not tell you exactly who you’ll meet or what you’ll experience, but they will tell you where to stay, when to refuel and recommend sites to visit.

When laying out a plan, it may feel like you’re guessing. That’s okay. Just make it as fact-based as possible. There are broad areas

to review, and specific questions to answer.

Look at resources available considering challenges and goals you’ll face.

• Where is the business headed and what are its progress milestones?

• What additional expertise and resources are needed? What gaps exist?

Write about social and economic changes, which can cause a market to shift dramatically. Make notes on legal and political constraints and opportunities.

Describe the complexity of your sales process. Energy to fuel growth is influenced by several factors: • Number of options available to the buyer; • Number of decision makers and their accessibility; • Ability to clearly demonstrate value; • Urgency tied to finding and implementing solutions; and • Depth of resources held by competitive solutions.

Growing profitable sales is essential to any healthy business. How likely is it that yours can grow year after year?

Describe how customers and suppliers may respond to varying conditions.

• How easy will it be for customers to switch

to a different solution? Easy switching is more dangerous.

• How many customers can you appeal to with a single solution? Usually the more the customers the better as long as you don’t lose focus reaching out to them.

• How much control will you have over suppliers? How much notice before they increase prices? Can they withhold solutions? Can you block them from providing favorable treatment to other companies? What are chances they’ll be able to go around you and appeal directly to your customers?

• How hard will it be for competitors to enter the market? The harder, the better.

What’s the opportunity for your business to reliably and profitably serve a loyal, appreciative customer base?

Toys R Us files for bankruptcy protection, but stores remain open

Webster Bank CEO James C. Smith retiring

BY ALEESIA FORNI

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN

aforni@westfairinc.com

kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

oy store chain Toys R Us Inc. announced on Sept. 19 that it has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The Wayne, New Jersey-based company plans to work with its creditors to restructure the $5 billion of long-term debt on its balance sheet. The restructuring will provide the company with greater financial flexibility to invest in its business, improve customer experience in physical stores and online, and strengthen its position in an increasingly challenging, rapidly changing retail marketplace worldwide.

“Today marks the dawn of a new era at Toys R Us where we expect that the financial constraints that have held us back will be addressed in a lasting and effective way,” said Dave Brandon, chairman and CEO of the company.

The chain’s approximately 1,600 Toys R Us and Babies R Us stores across the globe, including those in Yorktown, Yonkers, White Plains, Norwalk and Danbury, and its websites, toysrus.com and babiesrus.com, will continue to operate as usual.

ames C. Smith, only the second CEO in the 82-year history of Webster Financial, is retiring from the bank his father founded and will be succeeded by company president John R. Ciulla, effective Jan. 1.

Ciulla will also join Waterburyheadquartered Webster’s board of directors.

He is also the board chair of the Connecticut Business & Industry Association.

“I have had the privilege of working closely with Jim over the past 14 years and appreciate and value his principled leadership and extraordinary contributions to Webster,” Ciulla said. “I have benefited from his counsel throughout my career at Webster, and especially from our close working relationship these past few years.

“As Webster’s incoming CEO, I look forward to working with our strong executive management team and leveraging my experience to ensure the great heritage and legacy

T

The company intends to seek protection in parallel proceedings for its Canadian subsidiary. Its operations outside of the U.S. and Canada are not part of the bankruptcy.

Toys R Us has received a commitment for more than $3 billion in financing from lenders, including a JPMorgan-led bank syndicate. Subject to court approval, the company expects that financing to “immediately improve its financial health” and support its ongoing operations.

The retailer also plans to work with its vendors to ensure inventory levels are maintained and products continue to be delivered in a timely fashion.

Kirkland & Ellis LLP of New York City is serving as principal legal counsel to Toys R Us, Alvarez & Marsal is serving as restructuring adviser and Lazard of New York City as financial adviser.

J

of Webster continue to be the foundation to advance our strategic priorities,” he said.

“Over the past 10 years in particular, we’ve undertaken a transformation to position Webster for continued growth as a high-performing regional bank,” Smith said.

“We have successfully developed and implemented our strategic management framework, which invests capital and resources to support strategies that create value for our customers and shareholders.”

“John has contributed greatly to our successful transformation based on his consistently high performance, strategic acumen and strong leadership skills,” Smith said.

Ciulla joined Webster Bank in 2004 as senior vice president for middle market banking and later served as chief credit risk officer, among other leadership posts.

The firm also announced Albert J. Wang as its new chief accounting officer for both the holding company and Webster Bank.

Wang was most recently chief accounting officer at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and previously served as chief accounting officer at Banc of California.

Webster Bank operates 177 branches and 316 ATMs in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Westchester County.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

New Rochelle targets augmented and mixed reality industry to ‘save the day’

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

T

o plan for its future, New Rochelle can look to its past. In the city once home to the studio that created the animated Mighty Mouse in the mid-20th century, economic development officials will again turn to artists and creators to bring jobs to a growing city.

From the early 1930s through the 70s, New Rochelle was home to Terrytoons, an animation studio launched by Paul Terry that included the characters Mighty Mouse, Tom Terrific and Heckle and Jeckle. While Terry was known to refer to his studio as the Woolworth’s to Disney’s Tiffany, the Terrytoons location in downtown New Rochelle put the city on the map as a place for artists and illustrators in New York City to find work.

“It was really easy for New Rochelle, because they had this huge talent pool in New York,” said Amelia Winger-Bearskin, director of the newly formed nonprofit IDEA New Rochelle. The city had the advantage of a quick train ride into and out of Manhattan to attract talent to jobs in the relatively new field of animation.

“People started moving up to New Rochelle and living here, having their fulltime work at Terrytoons, all while they were still able to be connected to artists and the intellectual community of New York City,” Winger-Bearskin said.

In her new job, she will lead a nonprofit attempting to take the same forces that grew an animation industry in New Rochelle and apply them to the rapidly growing immersive technology fields, including virtual and augmented reality.

“Animation is a perfect metaphor for what virtual reality is right now,” she said. “It’s this new technology somewhere between art, entertainment and science. It has all these applications in all these different fields. And the first ones there are a lot of artists and entrepreneurs. These are the first people to say ‘Let’s try this out.’ And New Rochelle is a perfect place for them to start experimenting.”

THE IDEA

An award-winning artist and graduate of

New York University’s Interactive Technology Program, Winger-Bearskin will lead IDEA New Rochelle as it works with the city and its downtown business improvement district (BID) to launch a range of programming, studio and workspaces over the next several years aimed at creating a home for the fields of virtual and augmented reality, motion capture and molecular gastronomy.

Virtual and augmented realities are most associated with gaming and entertainment.

The popular Pokemon Go! phone application is considered augmented reality, for example, while the Oculus Rift headsets represent virtual reality.

But with investments coming from every major technology company, virtual and augmented reality are expected to be rapidly growing industries with a range of applications in art, entertainment, medicine and education.

While the field has created a great deal of entrepreneurial energy, Winger-Bearskin said it’s difficult for recent graduates to find the equipment and space they need to work.

New Rochelle’s vision is to step in and offer that space with easy access to Manhattan and at a fraction of the cost. Those factors make New Rochelle “a perfect playground for a new industry, like it was once for animation and is now for virtual reality,” she said.

“We really have a niche and an opportunity to create these facilities for exactly the kind of people that exist in New York,” she said. “Which are the innovators, people working in marketing, advertising and publishing to allow them to use our facilities here.”

IDEA, which stands for Interactive Digital Environments Alliance, will run much of the programming for the arts and technology district that the city and its downtown BID are working to launch.

As the city competes with municipalities in metropolitan New York for millennials and other professionals, New Rochelle BID Executive Director Ralph DiBart said it’s important that the city find an industry to set it apart.

“The city is looking for uses that will create a definable niche,” DiBart said, “that have the ability to bring together the existing community, but also attract new people and have an economic foundation.”

Bringing together city resources and private developers, IDEA is already set to open two downtown studio and maker spaces in 2018. The first is a 12,000-square-foot space at the New Roc City retail and entertainment complex, while the other is a 5,000-squarefoot space at 542 Main St. The second studio will be built in space that was formerly home to the New Rochelle Trust Co., where artist Norman Rockwell once did his banking.

The studio space will be donated to the nonprofit by each building owner for at least five years, after which IDEA New Rochelle expects to enter into below-market long-term leases, DiBart said.

The studios will each include a virtual reality production studio, motion capture studio and molecular gastronomy lab. Each will also serve the clients of a nonprofit incubator that IDEA New Rochelle is establishing for early stage startups in the immersive technology field.

In 2019, RXR Realty is expected to finish a 28-story retail and residential tower at 587 Main St. That project includes a 10,000-square-foot black box theater at the site of the city’s former Loew’s Theatre, which will be another home for IDEA programming. While the theater will host traditional productions, the stage will also be equipped for motion capture work and virtual reality experiences Winger-Bearskin said it will be the first black box theater to offer the technology.

DiBart said developers and landlords in the city have shown a willingness to work

with the nonprofit because its initiatives represent “an opportunity for downtown to really generate traffic, new businesses and create economic development.”

Later this fall, IDEA New Rochelle expects to begin a residency program for artists in the immersive technology field. The program will offer artists communal living space in a three-bedroom apartment, set up for co-working options that include virtual reality equipment. The program will be in a renovated 3,000-square-foot space owned by the city above the New Rochelle train station.

Future plans also call for an interactive immersive technologies museum in downtown New Rochelle. In collaboration with IDEA New Rochelle, the global creative services agency Squint Opera plans to offer an interactive development application next year that will allow for collaborative planning of the museum’s design.

READY TO GROW IDEA New Rochelle matches up both an industry and a city that are in the early stages of what is expected to be rapid growth.

The augmented and virtual reality industries are worth about $20 billion this year, according to research from virtual reality advisory firm Digi-Capital cited by IDEA New Rochelle. That value is expected to rise to $140 million by 2020.

Winger-Bearskin said the technology will have a wide variety of applications.

SULLIVAN IDA GETS $509K IN FEDERAL FUNDS The County of Sullivan Industrial Development Agency has received $509,642 in federal funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Business Development Grant program.

Announced by U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer on Sept. 7, the grants aim to expand local business efforts and spur economic development in the region.

Of the award, $314,420 will go to Livingston Manor-based Catskill Brewery.

The grant will help the business expand and create seven jobs.

The remaining $195,222 will be used for improvements at the Goodness Grainless Bakery, and the creation of five new jobs, and create five new jobs. The bakery is expanding from New Jersey to a former school in Narrowsburg.

“This federal investment is a win-win for Sullivan County and local businesses,” Schumer said in a statement. “With

support from the USDA’s Rural Business Development Grant program, the County of Sullivan Industrial Development Agency can support Catskill Brewery and Goodness Grainless, enriching the regional economy and supporting local jobs.”

The USDA Rural Business Development’s mission is to increase economic opportunity and improve the quality of life for rural residents through loans, grants and loan guarantees.

ORANGE COUNTY LEGOLAND RECEIVES KEY APPROVALS A proposal to build a $500 million Legoland amusement park in Goshen received important approvals on Sept. 14 in a 4-1 vote by the town board, bringing the third such park in North America closer to construction in Orange County.

The Goshen Town Board voted to approve amendments to its comprehensive plan and zoning law that allow for

the project. The votes come more than a year after Merlin Entertainments PLC, the British-based, American-owned developer of Legoland, first proposed the park in June 2016.

While the company still will need additional approvals, including its site plan, Merlin is targeting a 2019 opening date for the 153-acre amusement park. Plans call for a 250-room hotel and more than 50 rides, shows and attractions for children ages 2 through 12 on a 523-acre plot of undeveloped land off Route 17 in the town.

Merlin says the park could attract 10,000 to 20,000 daily visitors during peak season and create 500 full-time jobs and 800 part-time jobs once it opens. The project has been awarded more than $6 million in state funds through New York's Consolidated Funding Application process.

It is identified by the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council as a priority project.

But Legoland New York has also raised concerns in Goshen, home to about 14,000 residents. Opponents have protested the project's impact on traffic, the town's resources and the environment.

Those concerns have been heard in a series of extended public hearings, including the Sept. 14 meeting, which reportedly stretched to nearly three hours. They have

also been heard in court.

While one lawsuit challenging the project was dismissed earlier this year, the project could face additional legal challenges, according to an attorney who represents opponents.

Michael Sussman, attorney for the grassroots group Concerned Citizens for the Hudson Valley and a group of residents near the proposed site that filed the first challenge, said in February that his clients would challenge the project again if approved by the town. Sussman reiterated to the Middletown Times-Herald Record on Sept. 14 that he planned to file the lawsuit once the project received approval.

Following the vote, Merlin officials praised the town board and talked up the positive impact the amusement park would have in Goshen.

“We believe the town board’s decision is recognition of the tremendous benefits that Legoland New York will have in Goshen and the surrounding Orange County communities,” said John Ussher, senior divisional director of Legoland Development.

“We look forward to continuing this process and hope to be able to bring Legoland New York to Goshen subject to the other necessary approvals being obtained,” Ussher said.

Fleetwood groundbreaking clouded by lawsuit

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

n old warehouse has been razed and tons of bricks have been removed in preparation for the groundbreaking for the Enclave at Fleetwood, but a recen court case could cloud the ceremony.

Last month Peter F. Gaito Architecture, of White Plains, sued Enclave Equities in Purchase and its president, Michael Goldberg, for $25 million.

Gaito says he identified 645 N. MacQuesten Parkway in Mount Vernon as a potentially lucrative site for housing. He persuaded Goldberg to develop it but since then, he says, he has been frozen out of the deal.

“If done properly,” according to the law-

suit filed in Westchester Supreme Court, the property can reap “tens of millions of dollars.”

“He is a disgruntled partner,” responded Sam Mermelstein, Enclave’s vice president of development. “There is no reason for the lawsuit.”

Enclave at Fleetwood will consist of two 5-story buildings with market-rate apartments, one block away from Metro-North Railroad’s Fleetwood station.

The $44 million project also includes a cluster of low-rise apartments at 525 N. MacQuesten Parkway that are not part of the lawsuit.

The apartments are smaller than typical one- and two- bedroom units to appeal to young professionals without children.

Gaito says the building at 645 N. MacQuesten will have half as many apart-

ments as originally intended, thus diminishing the potential profitability.

He discovered the site in 2004, he says, and recognized “a huge financial upside” if it were developed for a 140-unit highrise building with either condominiums or market-rate apartments.

He acquired rights to purchase the site from PDJ Simone Realty and alerted Goldberg. They formed 645 Mac Realty LLC to acquire and develop the property.

Their company bought the property in 2006 from Reliable Automatic Sprinkler Co. Gaito and Goldberg had drawn up an operating agreement that allocated 75 percent of Mac Realty to Goldberg and 25 percent to Gaito. Gaito’s contribution was to procure city approvals and provide all architectural services at no charge to the partnership.

Gaito says Goldberg agreed to get his

written consent if Goldberg tried to sell the property before the approval process was completed.

Not much happened for several years.

Then in 2012, Goldberg formed 645 Mac-1 Realty LLC. Gaito says he was unaware of Mac-1.

Then, he says, Goldberg refused to permit him to obtain zoning approvals. When they met to discuss matters, Gaito claims, Goldberg said he wanted the architect out of the project, didn’t want anything to do with him and did not want to ever see him again.

Gaito claims Goldberg pointed a finger in his face “and said in substance that Gaito had better back off or Goldberg would ruin him. Goldberg stated that Gaito would never work again and that his kids and grandkids would suffer.”

The time and place of the alleged confrontation are not disclosed in the lawsuit.

Last December, Goldberg transferred the property from Mac to Mac-1. Gaito says he was not informed of the transaction. He learned from news accounts in February that Enclave Equities was developing 645 N. MacQuesten and he discovered the transfer.

He says he demanded that Mac-1 transfer the property back to Mac. In July, the property was transferred.

Even so, Gaito says, title to the property is clouded because of an illegal and improper transfer. He says Goldberg has also made it impracticable to carry on the company’s business.

Gaito is asking the court to dissolve the company and put the property in a trust so that it can be sold and the assets distributed according to the terms of the operating agreement.

He also is suing for breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, waste and mismanagement, tortuous interference and fraudulent conveyance, for which he is demanding at least $25 million in damages.

“We will resolve this soon,” Mermelstein said.

Cooper's Corner neighbors can’t sue, judge says

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

N

eighbors who live near Cooper’s Corner in New Rochelle don’t live close enough to challenge a proposed memory health care facility, a judge has ruled.

Shmuel Vasser, Joseph Rafalowicz and Daniel Krasner live in Bonnie Crest, in homes that are 1,200 to 1,800 feet away from the closed Cooper’s Corner Garden Center at 121 Mill Road.

That’s too far away to show potential harm, acting Westchester Supreme Court Justice Anne E. Minihan ruled on Sept. 14, and therefore they do not have legal stand-

ing to challenge the proposed memory care facility.

Vasser criticized the court for not addressing how the city handled the process and for not considering alleged misrepresentations by the mayor and city council members.

“The court took a narrow view of standing,” he said, “and thus prevented the actual facts from being litigated and decided on the merits.”

The men sued the city of New Rochelle, including the city council and the planning board, and the developer, ND Acquisitions LLC. They asked the court to nullify a January zoning change that allows senior citizen facilities to be built in the neighborhood.

The proposed 72-bed memory health care facility is a joint venture of two Boston-area companies, National Development and EPOCH Senior Living.

The property is at the end of North Avenue where a Y-shaped intersection splits into Mill and Wilmot roads, between Hutchinson River Parkway and the Kensington Woods neighborhood.

The nursery closed in 2015, after 72 years of operation.

The Bonnie Crest residents cla imed that public notices posted on the property were nearly impossible to see and that they were blindsided when the city council posted an agenda on the same day the zoning change was considered.

They said the facility would harm the character of the community and diminish property values.

To establish a legal stake, Minihan ruled, they had to show that they will suffer an injury that is distinct from the general public.

The judge noted that Bonnie Crest is beyond the 250-foot radius where property owners must be notified of a public hearing about zoning issues.

She described the men’s concerns about noise, odor and traffic as “speculative” and “overboard allegations,” and no different than what the community at large could suffer.

Their claims also are not "ripe" because the proposed development is still subject to administrative review and approval.

The planning board has scheduled a Sept. 26 public hearing on the site plan.

The men also asked the court for permission to add two Kensington Woods residents who live within 250 feet of the site, Harry and Jacqueline Stone, as petitioners. Minihan ruled that the Stones also lacked standing because there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate special damages.

“It’s an egregious miscarriage of justice,” said Deborah Blatt, Vasser’s wife.

“The city essentially bulldozed its citizens and the judge pushed that forward.”

She said the Bonnie Crest neighbors will appeal the ruling.

ARTS GENERATE $172 MILLION IN WESTCHESTER COUNTY, STUDY FINDS The nonprofit arts and culture sector generated $172.3 million in Westchester County during 2015, according to a study

by Americans for the Arts, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that advocates for the arts.

The national study, called Arts & Economic Prosperity 5, found that the sector delivered $25.8 million in local and state government revenues and supported 5,179 jobs in 2015.

The data was presented by ArtsWestchester, who partnered with Americans for the Arts to conduct the study, during a breakfast conference at Morton’s The Steakhouse in downtown White Plains on Sept. 20.

“The arts is a powerful economic driver that fuels smart growth in Westchester,” said Janet Langsam, CEO of White Plainsbased ArtsWestchester. “This economic

College in Poughkeepsie.

“To me, there’s no better way to learn,” said Torromeo, who still maintains his own sports consultancy firm. “And it’s current-day information.”

Still, Torromeo said a successful career is about more than what students learn in the classroom.

“It’s all about networking. Obviously, the degree is something that’s never going to hurt you to have, but you always have to be meeting and growing and connecting, especially in the sports industry.”

As part of the program, Torromeo and his staff help link students with internships in the fields of their choice.

“We’ll say, ‘What is it, at the end of the day when the smoke clears, that you want to be doing?’ And then we try to match them up with something in the area. It’s worked out more often than not that people have gotten not just the internship experience, but the job afterward, and that’s satisfying and gratifying in so many ways.”

Alumni have gone on to hold various positions at ESPN, Madison Square Garden, the New York Mets, World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., the Brooklyn Nets and the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.

Their respective fields of work “really run the gamut,” Torromeo said, from marketing and public relations to entrepreneurship and event planning.

“Even I am losing track of them now, because there are so many,” Torromeo, laughing, said of the program’s graduates.

“I’ll look at my LinkedIn and think, ‘Wow, I wish these people would tell me how much success they’re having.’”

impact study sends a strong signal that when government and the corporate sector support the arts, quality of life improves as does Westchester County’s economy.”

The study also found that since 1995, the economic impact of arts in Westchester increased by 218 percent. The research also found that attendees to cultural events spent an average of $21.84 per person per event on items and services other than the price of their ticket. That figure could include child care, meals or overnight lodging.

Sixty-two percent of nonresidents surveyed indicated that their primary purpose for visiting the county was to attend an arts or cultural event.

“The arts are not only vital to Westchester’s quality of life, but they are also significant to our economy by creating jobs and helping businesses large and small,” said County Executive Robert P. Astorino, who attended the conference.

STAMFORD IS IN THE AMAZON RACE Stamford would like to attract Amazon’s second headquarters, with officials saying they are putting together a formal proposal.

“We believe Stamford and our surrounding region would benefit from a company like Amazon locating a headquarters here,” Mayor David Martin said in a statement. “We are taking Amazon’s search for a second headquarters seriously and putting together a competitive application that will be appealing to Amazon.”

While officials in Bridgeport, Fairfield, Hartford and Danbury also have indicated

their interest in luring Amazon, no formal applications have yet been made.

There has been widespread interest around the country in attracting Amazon’s second headquarters with promise of 50,000 jobs. New York City, Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Nashville and Minneapolis are among those saying they are planning to apply.

Even in the face of such heavyweights, “We believe Stamford, and the lower Fairfield County region, is well positioned as a desirable location for Amazon’s headquarters,” according to a statement by Stamford Director of Economic Development Thomas

Madden. “Stamford is one of the few cities that has the workforce, infrastructure, and quality of life that we believe Amazon is looking for.”

Stamford’s Innovation District Begins To Take Shape With $2M Grant from CTNEXT The city of Stamford has been designated as an “Innovation Place” by the CTNext Board of Directors and will receive up to $2 million in implementation grant funding to establishing Stamford as a hub for innovation. The CTNext run program was created to help the state’s communities become centers for entrepreneurism and innovation, magnets for talent and launching points for growth-stage companies by continuously exploiting emerging opportunities. The district will let entrepreneurs do what they do best, without the time and financial burden of creating and managing their own support systems.

The city’s Innovation District, run by Innovate Stamford, envisions several tiers of connectivity. First, an intensely collaborative, walkable, digitally enabled city that is strongly connected to NYC and other Connecticut cities thanks to the Stamford Transportation Center.

Second, a number of geographic locations within the city, where startups, modern manufacturing businesses, co-working spaces and gathering places are clustered into cohesive neighborhoods.

The Sept. 19 announcement by MGM Resorts International of plans to build a resort casino in Bridgeport coincided with word of a decision by the Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) to delay giving its approval for a new Connecticut casino in East Windsor that was designed to compete against MGM’s upcoming casino across the border in Springfield, Massachusetts.

According to a Connecticut Mirror report, the BIA needs to approve amendments to Connecticut’s gaming compacts with the Mashantucket Pequots and Mohegans, the tribes behind the East Windsor casino, which is not being built on tribal reservations. Federal approval was also seen helping to ensure the new casino would not disrupt the more than $260 million that tribes annually pay Connecticut in return for exclusive casino rights.

However, Michael S. Black, acting assistant secretary for Indian affairs at the Department of the Interior, sent a letter to the office of Attorney General George Jepsen stating the BIA was not ready to offer its approval. Black’s letter also seemed to question whether such approval was necessary.

Black wrote, in part, “We find there is insufficient information upon which to make a decision as to whether a new casino operated by the Mohegan and Mashantucket Pequot Tribes would or would not violate the exclusivity clauses of the gaming procedures. The tribes have entered into an agreement with the state whereby they have agreed that the exclusivity provisions will not be breached by this arrangement. Therefore, our action is unnecessary at this time.”

Jaclyn M. Severance, Jepsen’s communications director, said that they are reviewing Black’s letter.

ed to embrace immersive technologies.

“Any industry where tech has permeated, that's where virtual reality is,” WingerBearskin said Meanwhile, construction in New Rochelle over the next several years is expected to add 3-million square feet of office and retail space and 5,500 apartments, part of a plan adopted by the city from master developer RDRXR at New Rochelle LLC, a joint venture of RXR Realty and Renaissance Downtowns.

In the middle of that growth, New Rochelle economic development officials want to also try to attract new sources of industry. The city’s economy right now is driven largely by three colleges and Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital, its largest employer.

“That's fantastic,” said Luiz Aragon, New Rochelle’s commissioner of development.

“But then what is our industry beyond that?

We have a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but not enough of anything to really put us on the map. That’s when we started to take a step back and really started looking at technology as a gateway to our future.”

“We’re in a good location, but we’re still

a small city,” DiBart said. “We have no foundation of any industry. So we had to find an economic sector which was beginning to really take off. So there was room to get in on the ground floor and grow with it.

That’s one of the reasons we have identified immersive technologies, which is still in its infancy.”

Officials the last several months have focused on setting the foundation for that future. In August, the BID and IDEA New Rochelle hosted a summit on immersive technologies that featured discussions and demonstrations from top minds in the field.

The two organizations are also working with artist Marco Castro Cosio, former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's MediaLab, to redesign a donated U-Haul van as a mobile virtual reality venue.

IDEA and the BID have also formed partnerships with New York University, Monroe College, the Community Preservation Corp. and the New Museum in Manhattan, where the nonprofit has joined the museum’s New Inc cultural incubator.

“We’re in the phase now of incubating the plan by making all these partnerships and networks, getting the name out,” DiBart said. “And people are beginning to really talk about what we are doing, which makes it easier as we create these spaces to get people involved.”

The company plans to build 16 row house condominiums at 700 Main St. in Peekskill. The new development will include triplex two- and three-bedroom homes ranging from 1,649 square feet to 1,915 square feet. The first floor of each home will have an entrance hall, home office and guest room and two-car garage.

Second floors will consist of living and dining rooms, while the top floor will feature the bedrooms.

Fourteen of the townhomes will be sold at market-rate prices starting at $275,000, and two units will be offered as affordable housing with a sale price of approximately $240,000. Sales are expected to begin in the summer of 2018.

“We recognized the importance of this site as a gateway to the city of Peekskill and its downtown and were happy to make this neighborhood townhome development part of our holistic commitment and investment in the city,” said Ginsburg Development founder and principal Martin Ginsburg. He said he believes the apart-

ments will be “ideal for both first-time homebuyers and empty nesters looking to downsize who want to enjoy the convenience of downtown living.”

Ginsburg was joined by Peekskill Mayor Frank Catalina, state, other city and county officials and dignitaries at the groundbreaking on Sept. 14.

“I cannot express my joy and excite-

ment at the commencement of this project,” Catalina said. “It represents the first new construction in this area of Main Street in over 65 years.”

The new project follows a Peekshill groundbreaking that the Valhalla-based developer held earlier this summer for its $64.5 million mixed-use development, Fort Hill. That project, which is

being built on the site of a former convent and Revolutionary War lookout, will include 178 rental apartments, a hotel and a restaurant. Construction could take about a year to complete, according to Ginsburg. The developer expects to begin leasing at Fort Hill Apartments next spring.

111 TONS OF PET FOOD AND COUNTING The Hudson Valley Pet Food Pantry will be celebrating its 7th anniversary on Oct. 23 with a 5:30 p.m. party at the CV Rich Mansion in White Plains. The nonprofit was established to help individuals and families experiencing financial difficulty avoid having to surrender their pets to a shelter or abandon them. The group offers assistance to fixed-income senior citizens, the disabled, veterans and others who qualify. It also assists animal shelters and rescue groups as food supplies permit.

The organization estimates it has helped keep about 1,900 animals in their homes by distributing more than 223,000 pounds of free food since its inception. Most of the pets are dogs and cats. It’s an all-volunteer organization; there are no paid positions. The group rents space at the Ridgeview Congregational Church in White Plains.

Kathy Ferri, vice president and director of pantry operations, said that “applications come from both individuals and referrals from government social service agencies. Some clients have needed temporary assistance, while for others there has been a need for long-term aid.”

Susan Katz, founder and president, said, “The simple act of providing bags or cans of pet food on a regular basis can have tremendous impact in helping people avoiding having to surrender or abandon a pet, while helping to keep the animals properly nourished.”

To attend the event, email hvpetfoodpantry@aol.com or call 914-907-3433. The website is hvpetfoodpantry.org.

On Sept. 23, Burke Rehabilitation Hospital on Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains presents the 38th annual Wheelchair Games.

The games provide physically challenged competitors with an opportunity to showcase their abilities in a variety of track, field, basketball and table tennis events. It was one of the first events of its kind when introduced almost four decades ago. Since then, the games have become a favorite tradition for both wheelchair athletes and the Westchester community.

“At the Wheelchair Games we offer an inclusive, supportive atmosphere that encourages participants of all ability levels to compete and have fun while boosting their self-confidence,” said Jeffrey Menkes, president and CEO of Burke. “This annual event is an inspiring, uplifting experience not just for the athletes, but for friends, family, and other members of the community who come to cheer them on.”

Beginning at 9 a.m., there will be field events, table tennis and a slalom (obstacle) course.

Track events start at 1:30 p.m. A new event this year is the basketball free-throw competition at 11 a.m. There also will be carnival games, musical entertainment and raffles.

Richard Sgaglio, vice president at Burke, said, “While the Wheelchair Games are a competition, everyone truly comes away feeling like a winner.”

SORORITY DONATES BACKPACKS TO WIHD

From left: Marla Green, WIHD socio-therapist; Jackie Boucher of AKA; Danielle Weisberg, director of child welfare services at WIHD; Katherine Kelly, AKA; Jenean Castillo, WIHD assistant director of child welfare services; and Lena Anderson and Kathleen Sheldon of AKA.

The Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD) received 60 new backpacks filled with school supplies from the Pi lota Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.

Children being served by two home-based WIHD programs will benefit: the Project Impact and Every Family Counts Aftercare programs.

The children who received the backpacks range in age from 5 to 16. Project Impact provides in-home parent training to parents with an intellectual disability whose children are at risk for foster care placement. These services are specifically designed to meet the learning needs of parents with cognitive disabilities. The Every Family Counts Aftercare Program provides community-based supports and services to families that have been reunified following a foster care placement. These families have overcome significant obstacles in order to be reunited with their children.

For more than 40 years, WIHD has been a regional resource for children and adults with autism, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, neurological and cognitive disabilities, hearing and vision problems, and other conditions. Its services, which often follow a person throughout his or her lifespan, include comprehensive dental and adult medical care programs, service coordination and planning, education and support services.

Ken Almstead, CEO of Almstead Tree & Shrub Care Co. in New Rochelle, was named a “2017 True Professional of Arboriculture” by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) at its annual conference in Washington, D.C. The program honors arborists and tree care professionals for their positive impact on the industry and in their communities.

“Ken leads by example,” said Michelle Mitchell, ISA board president. “He not only believes in community outreach for himself, but for the arborists who work for him.”

Almstead encourages the arborists who work for him to engage with the local community through activities and events, particularly on Arbor Day and Earth Day.

RIVERA SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED The College of New Rochelle’s interim President Dorothy Escribano and New York Yankees legend Mariano Rivera presented this year’s Mariano and Clara Rivera Scholarship to a high school student from the Bronx during a special ceremony on campus at Leland Castle.

The recipient was Camila Barrientos, a graduate of Cristo Rey High School in Harlem. The scholarship is given to students who have achieved academic excellence while being actively involved in their communities. The scholarship, created in 2014, covers four years of tuition as well as room and board.

Rivera said, “My wife Clara and I are happy when we are able to help those less fortunate who have tremendous abilities like Camila.”

Barrientos was born in El Salvador and came to the Bronx with her mother and older sister in 2000. During high school, she participated in the school’s drum club, theater, the choir and student council. She is enrolled in the college’s School of Arts & Sciences.

“The College of New Rochelle was one of my top choices to attend college and when I heard that I received the scholarship I was almost in tears,” Barrientos said. “Higher education is very important to my family and I have dreamed about going to college since I was a child.”

New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson said, “We are grateful to the Riveras for their continued generosity in New Rochelle and wish Camila well as she begins her studies.”

WESTIN HONORED AT YPIE GALA David Westin, former ABC News president and current co-anchor of Bloomberg Television’s morning program “Daybreak,” was honored at Yonkers Partners in Education’s (YPIE) 10th Anniversary Gala held Sept. 14 at Lyndhurst in Tarrytown. Westin was a founding board member of YPIE and is the current board chairman.

“No one deserves this honor more than David. Since our inception David has brought his wisdom, business acumen and leadership skills to our organization and has been responsible for ably guiding YPIE to grow into the successful organization we are today,” said Wendy Nadel, YPIE’s executive director.

The event raised more than $600,000 to fund programs to help Yonkers students be accepted to college and obtain degrees. YPIE partners with the Yonkers Public School District, business and philanthropic organizations and colleges. It serves an estimated 1,000 students each year.

A student at Marist College, Devin DeLosSantos, spoke about how YPIE and his mentor, Westin, have changed his life.

“We all need people who believe in us, encourage us and open doors. Without YPIE, David Westin and the doors they have opened, I don’t know where I would be today.”

Westchester Community College (WCC) has a new honors college, allowing top-performing high school graduates to complete a two-year nonors-designated associate degree in an academically challenging environment. These students will be individually mentored until they graduate and will be encouraged to transfer to four-year universities for two additional years of bachelor’s degree studies.

The first cohort of 18 students, which is the maximum enrollment, was welcomed to the school at a ceremony during which they received new laptops. All students are given textbook stipends, the laptops and full tuition coverage subject to any financial aid that they have received.

At the ceremony, WCC President Belinda S. Miles said, “The opening of this new honors college has its roots in our strong tradition of academic rigor and student engagement.”

For three decades, WCC has offered individual honors classes through its honors program.

The honors college is funded by the Westchester Community College Foundation through a gift from an anonymous donor.

Cancer Support Team is hosting its 19th annual Gayle K. Lee Health Awareness Luncheon on Oct. 12 at the Mamaroneck Beach and Yacht Club. The featured speaker is Wendy S. Harpham, a doctor of internal medicine, a 27-year cancer survivor, best-selling author, nationally recognized speaker and patient advocate. Harpham has devoted her career to helping people with cancer get good care and live as fully as possible.

She is expected to discuss new ways of thinking about hope, as well as ways to overcome obstacles toward living with hope whatever the challenge, illness related or not.

Based in Purchase, Cancer Support Team is the only Westchester-based home care program that is solely cancer focused and that offers in-home nursing and other supportive services at no cost and without regard to income or insurance coverage. The organization will mark its 40th anniversary next year.

BANKING ON BACKPACKS This school year, as in past years, employees of First County Bank participated in the Human Services Council’s “Donate a Backpack for Family Day” program to provide students with backpacks and school supplies for the school year. The bank’s employees donated enough pens, pencils, crayons, rulers, calculators, highlighters, erasers, notebooks and binders to fill 102 backpacks.

The backpacks and school supplies were distributed by the Human Services Council as part of its Family Day celebration.

For many years, the council has been supporting The Tenant Association in Norwalk in its effort to provide each school-age resident with backpacks and school supplies.

HOSPITAL LAUNCHES FOOD PROGRAM In October, New Milford Hospital launches an “Eatingwell” program to provide Diebold Family Cancer Center patients with the nutritional benefits of “Plow to Plate” meals, free of charge. The program is made possible through funding from the community.

The Plow to Plate concept promotes consumption of locally grown foods as important to well-being and disease prevention. Plow to Plate meals are prepared from scratch on site by foodservice management company Unidine Corp. using fresh produce, antibioticfree meats and locally grown fruits and vegetables as much as possible.

The hospital stated that maintaining good nutrition can help cancer patients feel better and stay stronger.

The Eatingwell program will serve

350 meals each month to cancer patients at the hospital. Patients are offered a free Plow to Plate meal after each chemotherapy or radiation therapy treatment, with the option of eating in the hospital’s café or taking their meals home.

The annual cost is $34,000, which the hospital hopes to obtain through donor support. It also hopes to expand the cancer center’s Let’s Get Cooking program, a free quarterly cooking class and nutrition workshop designed to help cancer patients and survivors make informed and healthy lifestyle choices.

To learn more about the food programs, call Cindy Tyler at 860210-5302. To support these programs, contact the hospital’s foundation at 860-210-5270.

KENNEDY CENTER FINISHES RENOVATION PROJECT

STUDENT WINS AWARD FOR INVENTION

Using a $299,000 grant applied for by the town of Trumbull from the state’s Small Town Economic Assistance Program, renovation of The Kennedy Center’s parking lot and grounds at 39 Lindeman Drive in Trumbull has been completed.

The project included engineering, design and construction involving parking lots, sidewalks, curbs and landscaping, in compliance with state ADA regu-

lations. This Lindeman Drive location serves as the center’s administrative, program and transportation hub.

Trumbull First Selectman Timothy Herbst said, “The Kennedy Center does an amazing job providing services to people and families throughout the region. We are proud to have them in Trumbull.”

Martin D. Schwartz, the center’s

president and CEO, said, “This substantial funding has made our building at 39 Lindeman Drive much safer and more accessible for the hundreds of people with and without disabilities who access the building on a daily basis.”

Schwartz thanked Herbst, State Rep. David Rutigliano and State Senator Tony Hwang for their assistance in obtaining the grant.

Reem Alattas, who is earning a Ph.D. in computer science and engineering at the University of Bridgeport, has invented an advanced bike helmet and, in so doing, won $12,000 at the CT Next Entrepreneur Innovator Competition, including a $10,000 Grand Prize and the $2,000 Judges’ Favorite Award.

Alattas was one of just two student-entrepreneurs to advance to the final rounds of the recent competition held at The Space in Hamden. It was sponsored by CT Next, the early-stage division of Connecticut Innovations, the state’s business-financing arm.

“I can’t believe it. I was competing against professionals. I didn’t have friends or family with me last night, but I felt the support from the UB faculty who were there,” said Alattas, who named her helmet Rumble.

Rumble includes GPS tracking, an alert system that warns cyclists when traffic gets too close and directional signals operated by the tap of a button.

Alattas has been working on the bike helmet for about three years. A manufacturing prototype is being built with an eye toward bringing it to market next year.

DOG ADOPTION EVENT IN GREENWICH Betsy Kaminski, co-owner of high-end pet goods retailer Raleigh & Co., has teamed up with Suzy Armstrong, a Greenwich real estate agent at Coldwell Banker; state Rep. Fred Camillo, who is an animal activist; Nicole Gallagher, owner of a Stratford-based pet grooming salon and founder of nonprofit Murphy’s Paw Rescue Inc.; and Sarah Bamford at Hybrid Media, to host a dog adoption event in Greenwich. It will be on Oct. 7 from 11a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Raleigh & Co. store, 209 Bruce Park Ave. “I love to help my clients and friends find the perfect home and on a few occasions I’ve even helped them find the

WCBJ

perfect dog,” Armstrong said.

Several dogs in foster care will be among those attending in hopes of meeting a new family. Raleigh & Co. will donate a portion of the day’s sales to Murphy’s Paw Rescue Inc. In addition, there will be a raffle with items from merchants.

Camillo plans to use the occasion to seek support for a petition extending dog access to Tod’s Point Park during the fall and winter months.

“In a community of dog lovers, extending the beach season at Tod’s Point for dogs from four to six months would be both logical and consistent with other shoreline towns,” Camillo said.
