AGE DISCRIMINATION CASE

F

ly Louie, an aviation startup with its first routes out of Westchester County Airport, hopes to “meld the best of commercial travel with the best of charter,” as described by CEO and Founder Julia Takeda.

Takeda, a Chappaqua native, launched the company in 2017 with a focus

on offering individual seats on private flights. The pitch to fliers: bypass the inconveniences of commercial planes — long lines, delays, rigid schedules — without spending thousands chartering a full private flight.

The company launched its second route Jan. 7 between Westchester and Pittsburgh’s Alleghany County Airport. Offering a welcome rate of $538 for the first month, Takeda hopes the route will build

on the success of the company’s first route between Westchester and Nantucket last summer.

Based out of Manhattan, Fly Louie is not actually an airline. Rather it’s a platform that charters private planes from licensed operators and then sells the seats individually. Passengers buy seats through Fly Louie’s website to luxury eight-seat turboprop planes out of a private terminal, Ross West for Westchester.

Passengers can arrive just 15 minutes before departure, park near the terminal for free and avoid lines for security, as TSA-compliant background checks are done in advance. The company says it can save pas» FLY LOUIE

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com THE BUYER OF A $1.5 MILLION condominium in the Villa BXV complex in Bronxville wants her contract canceled, citing alleged design defects.

Sharon Herstein sued the condominium sponsor, Gateway Kensington LLC of Greenwich, Connecticut, last month in Westchester Supreme Court.

The condominium was marketed and sold “as a top-tier luxury product that would afford owners and residents an elegant, pampered lifestyle,” the complaint states. “The sponsor has not delivered on that promise.”

The developer, Fareri Associates of Greenwich, responded in a written

statement: “It is unfortunate that despite our best efforts, we have been unable to satisfy one of our buyers.”

Fareri said it would not address the specific issues in the lawsuit.

“We can, however, unequivocally state that we remain committed to working with all of our owners and residents to assure that the Villa BXV experience is all that we have promised and that they should expect.”

Fareri said it has built a reputation for quality and integrity for 40 years, building thousands of houses, townhouses, condominium apartments and rental units.

Mack-Cali sells Elmsford Distribution Center for $70.25 million MAIN OFFICE TELEPHONE 914-694-3600 OFFICE FAX 914-694-3699 EDITORIAL EMAIL bobr@westfairinc.com WRITE TO 701 Westchester Avenue, Suite 100 J White Plains, N.Y. 10604

ack-Cali Realty Corp. has sold again in Westchester County, this time receiving $70.25 million for its Elmsford Distribution Center, a six-building industrial park comprising roughly 387,000 square feet off Saw Mill River Road.

The buyer is Realterm Logistics, a Maryland-based company with a national portfolio of facilities serving the transportation industry. The building, at 1-6 Warehouse Lane in Greenburgh, includes tenants such as UPS, Herr’s Potato Chips and XPO Logistics.

In its announcement, MackCali described the sale as part of the company’s strategy to wind down its f lex-warehouse sector and focus investment on its Jersey City office properties and multifamily development. The deal also continues the pruning of Mack-Cali’s Westchester office and warehouse portfolio, which is among the largest in the county. Since the start of 2018, the company has sold more than 1 million square feet of its Westchester holdings.

Last year, the real estate investment trust effectively exited the downtown White Plains office market. First, Mack-Cali sold the 570,000-square-foot Westchester Financial Center to Ginsburg Development Cos. in the spring for $83 million. Then, in the fall, the company sold 1 Barker Ave. and 3 Barker Ave., which total about 133,000 square feet, to a Rockland County buyer for $16 million.

Mack-Cali CEO Michael J. DeMarco said in a statement that the Elmsford Distribution Center sale “serves as a significant milestone in our plan to strategically consolidate the Mack-Cali portfolio. While we expect the park’s new owner will experience leasing success in an industrial market that has seen strong rent growth in recent years, the disposition enables us to pay down debt levels from investments we made in creating our multifamily platform.”

The Elmsford Distribution Center is behind the Sam’s Club off Saw Mill River Road, about a halfmile north of the Elmsford I-287 entrance. Mack-Cali has had the Elmsford Distribution Center buildings since 1997, when it acquired them as part of a $440 million

acquisition of Westchester developer Robert Martin Co. The deal saw the company, then Cali Realty Corp., acquire 65 properties totaling almost 5 million square feet in Westchester and Fairfield counties. Cali Realty Corp. became Mack-Cali a year later through a billion-dollar merger with fellow New Jersey firm Mack Co. Individually, the Elmsford Distribution Center properties sold for a total of $26.4 million in 1997, county property records show. The buildings at 1, 2 and 3 Warehouse Lane, about 95,000 square feet, went for $3.6 million; 4 and 5 Warehouse Lane, about 270,000 square feet, sold for $18.3 million; and 6 Warehouse Lane, 22,100 square feet, sold for $4.5 million.

Five of the six properties were built in 1957, with 6 Warehouse Lane built in 1982, according to Mack-Cali’s 2017 annual report.

Mack-Cali reported the building 97.9 percent leased as of the end of 2017, with an average base rent of $11.77 per square foot.

Mack-Cali was represented in this month’s transaction by the HFF investment sales team of Senior Managing Director Jose Cruz and directors Jordan Avanzato and Marc Duval.

Mack-Cali’s remaining holdings in Westchester County include the nearby Cross Westchester Executive Park flex office space; flex office space at the MidWestchester Executive Park in

Hawthorne; and office space at the South Westchester Executive Park in Yonkers.

Realterm Logistics is one of three logistics-oriented private equity funds managed by Realterm, which lists an office in Annapolis, Maryland. With the three funds, the company said it manages more than $4 billion in assets worldwide. Realterm Logistics owns and manages more than $1 billion in assets, the company reports, with more than 250 properties in the U.S. and Canada.

The sale comes at a time when industrial space is in demand for Westchester. Zoning changes in areas such as the Bronx and Queens have pushed industrial and warehouse tenants farther north.

At the same time, e-commerce has driven demand for distribution facilities close to population centers, such as New York City.

As the Business Journal reported in July, the twin trends have pinched an already tight

Westchester industrial market.

At the start of 2018, Newmark Knight Frank reported the industrial and flex space vacancy rate at 4.8 percent, down from 6.2 percent at the end of 2016. In July, broker and Business Journal columnist Howard Greenberg reported that f lex industrial space in the county — which typically rents for $8 to $10 per square foot — is routinely approaching asking prices of $15. “Never in my 30-plus years in the market have I seen this type of rent growth,” the Howard Properties Ltd. president wrote.

The strength of the market could be interpreted through the cost per square foot of the Elmsford deal compared to the Westchester Financial Center sale, which was last year’s most expensive office transaction. Mack-Cali received about $146 per square foot in the Westchester Financial Center deal. The Elmsford Distribution Center grabbed just under $182 per square foot.

A MEMBER OF

Ex-employee accuses IBM of ‘longstanding and pervasive’ age discrimination

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

former IBM sales director has sued the Armonk-based technology giant for age discrimination, claiming she was fired as part of a pattern of replacing older employees with millennials.

Terry Keebaugh, 57, of Alpharetta, Georgia, was fired in 2016, according to the complaint filed Dec. 21 in federal court in White Plains, one month before she was due to collect $573,000 in commissions. She got $20,000 instead.

“IBM’s age discrimination is longstanding and pervasive,” the complaint states, “Since 2012, IBM has implemented age-based reorganizations twice a year, sending loyal IBMers over age 50 to the chopping block while sparing younger employees.”

IBM did not respond to an email request for comment.

Keebaugh started with IBM in 1984 and worked her way up from a marketing representative to a client director on large accounts.

She was assigned to disparate industries, from communications to financial services and finally to travel and transportation. Each time, the complaint states, she taught herself the skills necessary to serve her clients.

The complaint describes International Business Machines as the largest information technology employer in the world, with 366,300 employees.

Historically, according to a ProPublica article published in March and cited in the lawsuit, IBM was known for great wages and “something close to lifetime employment, all in return for unswerving loyalty.”

But fierce global competition in the 1990s put pressure on the company to trim its workforce and costs.

Keebaugh traces the current practices to Virginia Rometty, who became CEO in 2012.

That year, according to the lawsuit, Rometty implemented age-based reorganizations twice a year, in which thousands of high performers over age 50 were laid off.

“Rometty’s vision for IBM is a workforce comprised of 75 percent millennials,” Keebaugh claims.

IBM allegedly wants to shed older workers, according to the complaint, who the company thinks lack the skills needed to create and sell new products and services, such as cloud computing.

ProPublica calculated that IBM has eliminated more than 20,000 U.S. employees, 40 or older, in the past five years.

Keebaugh claims that the older workers are replaced with younger people who fill the same or similar positions.

Keebaugh was even assigned to work on the Millennial Task Force in 2015. She noticed that young replacements were not being trained to serve clients who still relied on mainframe computers, “the main tech-

nology used by hospitals, financial institutions, airports and insurance companies.”

She proposed creating a database of best practices, for training new employees in dealing with costly mainframe problems. Her idea led to a “cognitive solution” patent application.

On Aug. 30, 2016, IBM gave her invention an achievement award for her patent application.

The next day, her boss sent her a letter stating that she was being fired as part of a “skills transformation plan,” according to the lawsuit.

She was told that she had been rated as the “lowest of the low” in skills compared with her peers. But the company, she alleges, would not identify how or to whom she was being compared.

She claims she had never been warned, placed on probation or admonished for poor sales or substandard skills before the letter. In fact, she states she had received the highest rat-

ing possible in her last annual performance review and her boss had praised her for delivering “the best results in the sector for the year.”

In 2015, she had more than doubled revenues from a new client, from $65 million to $135 million. When she was fired a year later, the complaint states, she had more than $100 million in contracts that were expected to close in a month.

Keebaugh says she was replaced with a younger employee who she claims has struggled to serve a key client and has generated less revenue.

She alleges that IBM shifted its explanation for why she was fired after she filed an age discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2017. Now, she says, IBM says she was fired because of poor sales in newer products, including cloud, analytics, mobile, security and social technologies. Yet, she claims, her

last performance review acknowledged her skills in the newer technologies.

Keebaugh quickly landed a new job, according to her LinkedIn profile, as a business development executive with Tata Consultancy Services in Atlanta.

In paying her $20,000 in commissions for 2016, she claims IBM cheated her out of more than $550,000. She also says she was deprived of future stock awards that had earned her $60,000 to $120,000 a year, and $15,000 in a 401(k) employer contribution.

Her lawsuit is based on alleged violations of the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act and the New York State Human Rights Law. She is asking the court to direct IBM to take her back and pay her for the lost wages, commissions and other benefits.

She is represented by Manhattan attorneys Anne C. Vladeck and Allison L. Van Kampen.

Caveat emptor HOSPITALS ARE NOW REQUIRED TO POST PRICES, BUT THEY WARN THE LIST IS NOT WHAT YOU’LL PAY

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdefenbaugh@westfairinc.com

A

new federal rule requiring hospitals to post a list of standard charges for procedures and drugs could help consumers shop around, but hospitals are warning that the price tag is almost never what they should expect to pay.

Hospitals have technically been required to provide pricing information since the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010. But the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services forced the issue in August, when it finalized guidance requiring hospitals to post the information online.

The initiative is aimed at bringing more transparency to pricing. With publication of the full list of set hospital charges — known as chargemaster in the industry — regulators hope consumers will be better able to compare costs among hospitals.

But the data do not make for easy comparison shopping. Most hospitals have posted the prices in dense spreadsheets, with terms that vary among each health care provider.

Besides, hospitals stress that what a patient pays depends on insurance, and even those without insurance often can qualify for free or reduced-price charitable care.

That makes the new regulation a challenging subject for hospital executives such as Daniel Blum, president and CEO of Phelps Memorial Hospital Center in Sleepy Hollow. He is in favor of more price transparency for hospitals, but said he questions whether this rule is the best way to achieve that.

“As a nation we really need to grapple with the issue of the financing of health care,” Blum said.

“It’s good for consumers to be educated and informed and empowered. I don’t

think this regulation gets us that much closer, frankly, to that position.”

Phelps, Blum noted, has about 1,300 different charges on its chargemaster. But because each patient will have different complications and needs, “the permutations of what the charge ultimately is are kind of limitless,” Blum said.

And those charges are often just a starting point.

Hospitals negotiate different rates with private insurers and there are set rates for what the government will pay for Medicare and Medicaid patients.

That doesn’t even begin to account for the thousands of different insurance plans and options carried by each individual patient.

“So although it’s helpful for a patient to have an understanding of what the charges are, that’s not the charge they would actually receive,” Blum said. “It’s also not the price they would pay.”

The rule was lobbied against by hospital groups, including the Suburban Hospital Alliance of New York State LLC, a consortium of 51 hospitals in the Hudson Valley and Long Island. Kevin Dahill, the group’s president and CEO, said hospitals are concerned the lists will only introduce more confusion on pricing.

A better effort at price transparency, Dahill said, has to come from insurers communicating costs with their customers.

“The patient is most interested in what is coming out of their pocket,” Dahill said. “It’s ‘What I am going to have to pay?’ ‘What’s my deductible?’ ‘What’s my copay?’ The insurance companies should be telling them that.”

But some consumer advocate groups welcomed the start of the new regulation. That includes FAIR Health, a Manhattan-based nonprofit consumer group that maintains a health care pricing database of its own.

In an interview with C-SPAN

WCBJ

on Jan. 7, FAIR Health President Robin Gelburd described the data as part of a journey toward more price transparency.

While consumers may be confused by some of the terminology, the price lists could help consumers formulate initial questions before pursuing the data in more organized formats from other sources.

The rule, Gelburd said, “is sending a signal right now that consumers deserve this information, and it’s incumbent upon all of us to really help them travel on this journey.”

Hospitals are required to publish the data in a machine-readable format, such as a downloadable spreadsheet. The majority of Westchester hospitals have simply posted their entire chargemasters online: massive downloadable spreadsheets with thousands of different line items. Most have also included warnings with the download link, stressing the prices listed are not what a patient should expect to pay. They have instead directed patients to call the hospital to discuss pricing.

The different terms among each spreadsheet can make comparisons difficult, but there are some

items consistent across several of the chargemasters.

For instance, a 325 milligram tablet of aspirin — the generic of which Walgreens lists for $1.29 per 100 — costs 38 cents at Hudson Valley Hospital in Cortlandt. The same tablet is listed at $1 by White Plains Hospital, 2 cents at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Yonkers and $1.33 at Montefiore New Rochelle.

A chest MRI with or without contrast is listed at $4,751 at Westchester Medical Center, $6,844 at Phelps, $5,371 at St. John’s Riverside Health in Yonkers and $6,517 at Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco.

New York state has developed a database of its own for average pricing, called NYS Health Connector, which analyzed hospital discharge data for 2014, 2015 and 2016.

It doesn’t cover the comprehensive list of drugs and procedures in some of the hospital chargemasters, but it covers common hospital actions such as newborn deliveries, joint replacement and spinal procedures.

The data show that in 2016, the Mid-Hudson Valley was the third most expensive in the state for patients receiving a hip or knee joint

replacement, behind Long Island and New York City.

The costs for a knee joint replacement varied, sometimes significantly, as the state data showed. A knee joint replacement of moderate severity, as defined in the data, cost an average of $29,968 at Westchester Medical Center, $40,590 at Hudson Valley Hospital and $9,485 at St. Joseph’s Medical Center. The average cost statewide that year was $19,018. Westchester Medical Center performed 36 such surgeries in 2016, while the surgery was performed 144 times at Hudson Valley Hospital and 33 times at St. Joseph’s, according to the state data.

So what can consumers do with this information?

Adam Block, a health economist and assistant professor at New York Medical College’s School of Health Sciences and Practice, noted that consumers don’t always have the luxury of shopping around for care, such as for an emergency cardiac bypass. But in nonemergency situations, there are factors consumers could consider before walking through the hospital door, according to Block. The NYMC professor spent several years developing the Affordable Care Act as an economist

at the Congressional Joint Committee on Taxation and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Smaller, nonacademic hospitals that don’t have specialized facilities and care — such as neonatal intensive care — generally are less expensive than the larger academic centers that do. Noting that quality is not always tied to price, Block said individual patients should decide when a certain facility may be worth the extra price.

“If I have a run-ofthe-mill tonsillectomy, or something standard that hospitals do all the time, I may be comfortable going to a hospital that is lower priced, more local,” Block said. “But if I have something extraordinarily complicated, I may want to go to an academic and not be so concerned about the price associated with it.”

Of course, the question of whether consumers — even as pricing data becomes more accessible — will actually shop around is yet to be definitively answered.

Block pointed to a 2017 study in Health Affairs, a peer-reviewed health care journal. The study examined a large population of insured consumers in California who were offered a free price-transparency tool for routine procedures, such as lab tests and imaging services. Only 12 percent of employees who were offered the tool used it in the first 15 months after it was introduced, according to the study. And only 1 percent of those who received an advanced imaging test conducted a price search, despite the study’s finding that the average price paid for imaging services was 14 percent lower when preceded by a price search.

“Maybe it will happen over time, but for the longest time there hasn’t been a culture of asking about prices in the way there is when you go shopping for a car or television,” Block said.

M&T Bank to pay $700,000 to settle Hudson City Savings disability lawsuit

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

M

&T Bank Corp. has agreed to pay $700,000 to former employees of Hudson City Savings Bank who were fired or not accommodated because of disabilities.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) sued in 2017 in federal court in White Plains for violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hudson City Savings had denied reasonable accommodations for disabled employees, according to a consent decree filed Dec. 19, required them to go on involuntary leaves or fired them because of their disabilities.

The decree covers two years, from 2013 until late 2015, when M&T Bank of Buffalo acquired Hudson City Savings.

The EEOC complaint and

consent decree were filed against M&T’s Wilmington Trust Corp. subsidiary.

Hudson City was based in Paramus, New Jersey, and had numerous branch offices in the New York City metro area, including 11 in Westchester County. It had $35.4 billion in assets, according to the Federal Reserve System order approving the M&T acquisition, and $18.2 billion in deposits that made it the 49th largest depository organization in the U.S. The EEOC complaint gives four examples of discrimination, but names only Carmen Gaillard, a teller in the Harrison branch.

Gaillard had Achilles tendinitis and bone spurs that limited her ability to stand and walk. She asked for permission to wear an orthopedic boot that would have enabled her to perform the essential functions of her job.

Hudson City denied her request, according to the EEOC complaint. Bank poli-

cy required employees with “potential disabilities” to take a leave of absence and return to work only if a doctor provided a written notice stating that there were no restrictions on the employee.

The bank also did not allow employees to remain on medical or disability leave for more than 26 weeks, according to the complaint.

After 26 weeks of involuntary leave, Gaillard was fired.

The EEOC complaint describes similar circumstances with unnamed employees at three other branch offices: a clerk with a broken foot in Staten Island; a teller with pregnancy complications in Cherry Hill, New Jersey; and a clerk with arthritis in Jersey City, New Jersey.

In signing the consent decree, Wilmington Trust denied engaging in the kinds of “alleged activities” described by the EEOC, after acquiring Hudson City in 2015.

Bankruptcy judge awards $1.7M to Executex in photocopier scam

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

E

astchester salesman Joseph Holzberg has been ordered to pay Executex, a Hawthorne company, nearly $1.7 million for pocketing commissions on photocopier scam leases.

Federal bankruptcy Judge Robert D. Drain issued a default judgment against Holzberg on Dec. 26 in favor of Executex Inc. Whether Executex can collect on the judgment is questionable as Holzberg has filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, declaring $732,080 in assets and $836,400 in liabilities.

Chapter 13 allows an individual with regular income to protect a home from foreclosure and to propose a plan to

repay all or part of the debts.

But Executex filed an adversarial action within the bankruptcy case, asking that Holzberg not be allowed to discharge his debts, because he had allegedly committed fraud, embezzlement and larceny.

Holzberg worked for Executex as an independent contractor from 2012 to 2017, selling leases on expensive copiers. He received $435,518 in commissions on about $1 million in sales.

But Holzberg had a scheme. He forged contracts and delivery certificates, according to Executex, and stashed most of the machines in a Rockland County storage facility.

The sham worked as long as customers didn’t notice they were paying monthly leases on machines they

didn’t possess.

But USIS, a technology company headquartered in Pearl River, noticed it had been charged more than $250,000 for 20 photocopiers it did not possess.

Executex discovered 60 bogus leases. It paid $1 million to compensate USIS and buy back copiers from companies that financed the transactions.

Holzberg did not respond to Executex’s accusations.

Drain then issued a judgment against him for $1,435,418, plus 9 percent interest for 22 months, for a total of $1,676,211.

Executex was represented

by Leonard Benowich of White Plains. Holzberg was represented by Gary R. Gjertsen of White Plains in the Chapter 13 case but had no attorney in the adversarial case.

Takeda launched the company as an MBA student in the Columbia School of Business. A graduate of Horace Greeley High School, Takeda helped grow and sell an education technology company before pursuing an MBA at Columbia.

While studying at Columbia, Takeda began to look to the aviation sector as a place where she could make a difference.

“What you see pretty quickly, and I’m not the first to observe this, is there has been a crazy consolidation in commercial airlines,” Takeda said. “Even a decade ago, there were nine major carriers. Now there are four major carriers.”

Without competition, there are fewer direct flights going between midsize cities. What flights there are, Takeda says, are often expensive.

In the charter aviation sector, there are 2,500 operators that are, by Takeda’s measure, mostly fragmented.

“In fact, we enjoy the distinction of never having been sued by one of our buyers.”

To Takeda, there was a chance to expand access to private flights for passengers while helping operators utilize their planes more efficiently.

Columbia Business School, Takeda said, helped connect her to people with industry expertise, as well as provide needed startup funding and pitch experience through business competitions. Fly Louie won $25,000 in funding through pitch competitions and $50,000 through Columbia Business School’s Eugene M. Lang Entrepreneurial Initiative Fund, which provides early-stage investment to student business initiatives. That money helped fund the company through its first seed funding round, which closed last fall at an undisclosed amount.

In the summer of 2018, Fly Louie came to Westchester for its inaugural route, 36 flights between Westchester and Nantucket.

Interest in the route, as well as bookings, grew through the summer, confirming to Takeda the concept worked.

“What we found was a lot of word of mouth and referrals,” Takeda said.

“Folks who flew with us weren’t switching back. We complaint states, if not for the private patio and large courtyards. But her patio has been rendered unusable, she claims, and the courtyards have been seriously compromised.

Poor drainage, according to the complaint, has caused water to pool on the patio and courtyard decks. Standing water then allegedly mixes with organic material, creating a breeding ground for mosquitos, parasites, mold and bacteria.

Initially, she alleges, the sponsor denied there was a problem, but eventually the condominium acknowledged by an email message to homeowners that there was “clear evidence of mosquito infestations, seemingly caused by standing water on the f lat roof system installed in the plaza deck patio areas.”

just had to get them on that first flight.”

As for why the company picked Westchester for its first two routes, Takeda said there was a hometown advantage: she knows the airport well. But it’s also convenient to customers in New York City as well as the surrounding area. To use the airport, the company pays landing and facility fees in proportion to its flight volume.

To choose its second route, Fly Louie completed a market analysis for a group of possibilities. The company plans to specialize in routes that are under 500 miles: a maximum of an hour to 90 minutes of flight time. It’s there, Takeda said, that Fly Louie can keep its costs to within a couple hundred-dollar premium compared to commercial flights. The 500-mile radius represents just under onethird of all travel in the U.S., according to Takeda.

The study pointed Takeda and COO Eytan Kurshan, a former JetBlue Airways route network manager, to Pittsburgh.

About 1,200 people fly each day between New York and the City of Bridges, according to Takeda’s research.

She has made several trips to Pittsburgh since the start of route planning,

meeting with municipal and business officials. She described the city as a hub for technology and innovation, led by Carnegie Mellon University. She also cited a thriving arts scene and pro sports teams in baseball’s Pirates, hockey’s Penguins and football’s Steelers.

Companies such as Dick’s Sporting Goods and Alcoa are headquartered within or near the city.

“There are a ton of opportunities for us to connect with folks who would want this,” Takeda said.

The company’s preferred aircraft include the King Air 350, a twin-engine turboprop, and the Pilatus PC-12. Operators Altius Aviation and Reliant Air Charter will handle the majority of the flights.

The flights start with the one-month introductory flat rate of $538, including tax, one-way for a flight. After that, prices rise to $795 each way. Flights run with two pilots. On-board amenities include large leather seats, small bottles of prosecco, craft beer from Pittsburgh purveyors (though Takeda said Westchester brews may be boarding soon) and iced coffee from Wandering Bear Coffee, a fellow Columbia startup.

“We try to find things that are unique to the

route,” Takeda said. For the Nantucket flights, that meant Cape Cod potato chips and Whales Tale Pale Ale from a Nantucket brewery.

Even with the introductory rate, Takeda admits that Fly Louie won’t come in cheaper than commercial options. But Takeda believes the company can save customers enough time to make the premium price worthwhile.

“We can make it a threehour trip door to door,” Takeda said. “We think that is compelling to enough people.”

The company hopes to not only convert commercial travelers, but also prove a more efficient form of travel for those who already typically fly private, including corporate clients.

There is some competition in the field.

Companies such as Blade and Tradewind Aviation have offered by-theseat private routes from Westchester to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket seasonally. In a report on the increasing accessibility of private travel last year, the New York Times cited data from the research company Euromonitor, which found the number of passengers in the U.S. who chartered planes increased from

4.88 million in 2013 to 5.32 million in 2016.

“Competition … indicates your idea isn’t such a crazy one,” Takeda said.

“But there’s not so much competition [that] it’s troubling.”

Fly Louie is advertising its Pittsburgh route through digital marketing as well as radio and print ads, Takeda said.

Fly Louie is focused on the Pittsburgh route and the return of the seasonal Nantucket route before launching any new ones. “Once we’ve gotten that right, there’s a ton of opportunity and a lot that is transferable from our learning and experience here,” Takeda said.

The name Fly Louie is in honor of Takeda’s great-uncle Lou, who immigrated from Russia in 1919 and launched a business in South Dakota that helped bring the rest of his family, including Takeda’s grandfather, to the U.S. Takeda says the Fly Louie name “makes the business a little more accessible and makes the idea of private aviation more accessible. But it is also because of Lou. He’s a special person in our family.”

Last year, Takeda also named her son Louie, in her great-uncle’s honor.

noise of exit doors opening and closing in a building corridor has made a second bedroom unusable.

The lawsuit also blames the problems on the general contractor, the architect and three of the five condominium board managers who were appointed by the sponsor.

Herstein is demanding that her purchase agreement be rescinded and that she be reimbursed for her costs, or alternatively, for damages of at least $600,000.

She is represented by Harrison attorney James R. Anderson.

New buildings always need corrections, Dennis E. Glazer, president of Villa BXV’s homeowner’s board, said in a telephone interview. There have been issues with drainage and insects and other “punch list” items, he said, and Fareri has been “incredibly responsive and done a firstrate job.”

He said the developer has hired a hydrologist and a biologist, who will report to the homeowners in February, and has pledged to absorb all costs and to spare no expense fixing the problems.

The Villa BXV complex in Bronxville.

The proposed remedy, spreading gravel under the plaza deck pavers, she claims, will not solve the problem.

Herstein says the developer also botched two attempts to repair defective wood floors in her apartment.

SUITE TALK Westchester Institute for Human Development President and CEO Susan Fox

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

A

s leader of the Westchester Institute for Human Development (WIHD), Susan Fox oversees an organization that provides specialized medical, dental and psychological services to more than 5,000 people with intellectual and development disabilities each year.

Fox, born in Nebraska and raised in Massachusetts, has been president and CEO of the Valhalla-based medical center and service provider since 2016. Before WIHD, Fox was associate director at the University of New Hampshire’s Institute on Disability.

She also served as the state director for developmental disabilities services in New Hampshire for five years.

She met in December with the Business Journal to discuss WIHD, her goals for the organization and the challenges it faces today and moving forward.

What drew you to this profession?

"It’s a long road. But I think back to, in high school, there was a very small special education program in our school. I became friendly with one of the students who was in my class, who was in the special education program. We remain friends today. So I think I always had an empathy and interest in people who have disabilities.

"That’s where I started. Then going to college, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do.

I was taking classes in a variety of areas. I had three or four different majors in my first couple years. I ended up taking a class in learning disabilities and was fascinated with the concepts of how people learn, the differences in learning styles. That got me started.

I graduated from college at a time when special education programs were just starting to be mandated federally in every school. So there was a need for a lot of special education teachers, and I was able to get a job right out of college teaching special education. It kind of grew from there.

"On a personal level, my husband, David, and I adopted a young girl, Lori, who had very significant disabilities when she was about 5. She’s now 37, so she has kept me more grounded in the field and maintained my passion in wanting to make sure that there are good, high-quality services available for people with disabilities."

Can you give an overview of the organization and its goals?

"We provide a comprehensive array of medical, clinical and social services, primarily to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We also have a very large child welfare program. We serve children in the child welfare system who

are in family foster care.

"But what really makes us unique is that we not only provide those direct services to individuals, we also are an academic and research institution. So we do research related to those services to better inform the field, identify best practices and change how services are provided. And then we do a lot of education and training for both students in school as well as current professionals."

What is going on in the WIHD on a typical Monday?

"Mondays are typically very busy. We run a medical clinic on the second floor. We have primary care plus 17 specialty care services.

Pretty much any specialty care: psychology, endocrinology, neurology, dieticians, cardiologists. They are all here, so people are coming in for appointments, seeing primary care physicians or other specialties. We have a large dental clinic on the fourth floor, so people will be coming in to see the dentist.

We have a large speech and hearing clinic, so people will be coming in for either speech therapy or for hearing checks.

"We serve people of all ages, children through adults.

"We are the largest private provider of child welfare services for Westchester County.

We also manage the Children’s Advocacy Center. The center is the group of individuals who investigate all instances of child abuse or child death. We lead that team. We employ a forensic pediatrician. But the team is made up of the county prosecutor, the DA, the police, social workers, all the people that might be

involved in a child abuse situation."

What was the �irst year on the job with WIHD like?

"I really spent time getting to know the organization. I had many, many, many meetings with staff throughout the organization, as well as the board, community members.

From there, I was able to formulate some of my own goals for the organization."

I imagine you had to learn the area as well.

"Yes, the area was new to me. Although I have to say, living in Westchester County, people often say it must be so different from New Hampshire. But I think Westchester, because it has more forests and hiking trails and the river, it doesn’t feel so big city-ish."

Can you describe some of the challenges the organization is facing?

"We rely very heavily on Medicare and Medicaid funding for the direct services we provide. That’s always a challenge. We’re paying attention to changes in Medicare and Medicaid and what’s happening at the federal level.

"We have a pretty diverse funding stream, with state contracts, county contracts and grants. But we are a nonprofit agency, so we are always looking to maintain good, solid funding.

"Our biggest challenge is that we are in a building that was built in 1972. It was built as an inpatient facility and residential school for kids with special needs. Today, it’s an outpatient facility doing a much different type of business. So we’re trying to figure out what

to do about our building, whether to stay here, renovate or to move to a building. That’s a big challenge and it will be an expensive challenge for us."

We may have just covered a big one — facilities — but what are some other initiatives you plan to take on in your leadership of this organization?

"What I found when I came here, staff identify very much with the department they work in, but did not identify as strongly to the larger organization. I’ve done a lot of work since I’ve come here to really build employee engagement and that sense of belonging to this larger organization with a bigger mission to improve the lives of people with disabilities.

"I’ve also tried to be very involved and engaged in the business community to get people more aware of who we are and what we do. I often say we are this hidden gem here. We do all these really amazing things and people don’t know about us.

We’ve been working to increase our visibility in the community. We want people to be aware of who we are, that we are here and we are here to help.

"I feel really fortunate to have landed here at WIHD, this organization that is very mission-driven and is full of people who are committed, talented and passionate about this work. Many of the people who work here are parents of individuals with disabilities.

They are in this because they have a real personal and professional commitment to the field. It’s really a great way to work."

Regional employment report shows Westchester may benefit from NYC jobs creation

T

he fact that we’re all interconnected is not an original thought, but one that makes more sense as the world becomes a smaller place.

The same is true for ways that we look at boosting our local economies, creating jobs and more viable communities for the future.

Westchester County recently entered a partnership with New York City, which is looking at how we are all interdependent in the regional economy.

Representatives from the New York City Department of Planning met with Westchester County’s Office of Economic Development to share data from “The Geography of Jobs,” a report that looks at employment, labor force and housing development trends and the changing geography of growth in the New York metropolitan area since 2008.

The report showed that the region grew its labor force by 1.5 million workers since 2008, representing an increase of 15 percent — slightly below the national average gain of 16 percent.

New York City accounted for half of the region’s growth in resident labor force (plus-742,450), representing an increase of 21 percent, while other counties in the region had an average increase of 11 percent. New York City has benefited the most from the post-2008 economic boom, but Westchester has also gained some jobs, particularly in the education, health care (plus-7,507) and retail and hospitality industries (plus- 9,843). The workforce ebbs and flows between New York City and its suburbs in a cyclical fashion. Right now the cycle shows jobs and the workers needed to support them are headed into New York City.

This does provide some good news for the Hudson Valley and Connecticut as the additional labor force in New York City will need to find places to live since new housing there is not keeping pace with the influx of workers, who will be looking to Westchester and Connecticut for housing. According to the report, both Westchester and Connecticut would be able to accommodate these needs as shown by the ratio of new housing units to new jobs created. In the Hudson Valley there were 84,000 new housing units created compared to only 71,000 new jobs. In Connecticut the difference was more pronounced with 66,000 units of new housing and a loss of 16,000 jobs.

The report notes, however, that this could put a strain on the region’s transportation system.

“While this symbiotic relationship has value in enabling the region to continue to meet both housing and employment needs, higher-than-anticipated levels of trans-Hudson commutation are taxing the region’s transportation systems. The future balance of housing {and} jobs growth will have significant implications for prospective investments in regional transportation infrastructure,’’ the report stated.

What the report made clear is that Westchester needs to do more to capitalize on the influx of younger workers (ages 25 to 54). New York City gained 400,000 younger workers, a rate three times higher than the national average. Housing is a key piece to this puzzle. And data show that Westchester’s cities, particularly those areas with access to mass transit, have been successful, showing that the county’s focus on transit-oriented development is a winning strategy.

Ultimate Auto Body claims Ethos Auto Body pirated its business LLC and co-owners Matthew Beobide and Dan Zimdahl for $1 million on Dec. 20 in Westchester Supreme Court.

While Ethos’ co-owners still worked for Ultimate, they were misappropriating “as much confidential and proprietary information as possible,” Gregory Beobide says in an affidavit, to “minimize their own costs in developing their new shop.”

the lawsuit and referred inquiries to Ronald G. Crispi, his attorney. Crispi was not available to comment.

Matthew Beobide worked for Ultimate for 13 years and managed the Bedford Hills shop.

Zimdahl worked for Ultimate for four years and managed the Mount Vernon shop.

They continued to work for Ultimate until Oct. 6, when Gregory Beobide confronted them about their new business.

Ethos was established three months before and operated at 785 Bedford Road, Bedford Hills, near Ultimate’s shop. Its website “history” states it has been providing auto body repair services “for over 30 years.”

Gregory Beobide claims that his nephew contacted Assured Performance Network, a certification company, and represented his uncle as a co-owner of Ethos, according to the complaint, to transfer original equipment manufacturer certificates to the new business. Then he took the OEM plaques.

His former employees hijacked Ultimate’s website, according to the complaint, replacing it with a “ghost” website that had no contact information and incorrect location information.

He claims his nephew pirated Ultimate’s social media sites, listing his own cell phone number as the contact number on Google Business and Yelp and taking the Facebook page off line.

Ethos recruited Ultimate employees, according to the complaint, and a painter, helper and bodywork man left to work for Ethos.

Gregory Beobide also accuses his nephew of taking vendor contracts and a customer list and downloading professionally taken photographs of work being done in his shop. The photos were then allegedly used on Ethos’ website and Facebook page and posted on the Katonah Chamber of Commerce website.

He claims that his former employees sent email blasts to Ultimate’s customers, soliciting their business. An email announcing the new business was headlined, “Grand Opening Ultimate Auto Body, Formally,” implying, according to the complaint, that Ethos was a new location for Ultimate.

Customers have been confused, the complaint states, “into believing that Ethos and Ultimate were the same entity.”

The strength and net worth of an auto body shop, Gregory Beobide states in his affidavit, rests on its brand, services, image, reputation, pricing, employees and customer base.

His former employees, he alleges, misappropriated confidential information and trade secrets, unjustly enriched themselves and breached their duty of good faith and loyalty.

Ultimate is demanding $1 million and a court order barring Ethos from exploiting its proprietary information.

Ultimate is represented by Patrick V. DeIorio of Rye Brook.

Trustee: D’Alessio sold property for one-tenth of value before bankruptcy

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

he U.S. Trustee’s Office claims that former White Plains real estate developer Michael P. D’Alessio sold a property for one-tenth of its value, shortly before filing for bankruptcy protection.

The adversarial lawsuit, filed last month in federal bankruptcy court in White Plains, claims that the buyer paid $100,000 for property in Suffolk County that was worth $1 million.

The complaint was filed against the buyer, Middle Pond Partners LLC of New Hyde Park, Nassau County.

The lawsuit is the latest in a blizzard of legal actions involving D’Alessio, his Michael Paul Enterprises and numerous limited liability companies.

D’Alessio raised millions of dollars by promising investors interest payments up to 16 percent per year, to finance luxury real estate developments.

D’Alessio bought the vacant property in January 2017 and mortgaged it for $300,000 to Maxim Capital Group LLC in Manhattan. He defaulted on mortgage payments in March 2018.

Interest on the loan increased from 10 percent to 24 percent a year.

Last May, D’Alessio transferred the property to Middle Road Partners, an affiliate of Maxim Group, according to the complaint,

for $100,000.

A bank appraisal had put the value of the property at $1 million.

D’Alessio valued it at $900,000 on a bankruptcy petition.

By the time the property was sold, the complaint states, it had accumulated $722,000 in unsecured debt and two groups of investors had sued D’Alessio, claiming losses of $1.2 million on develop-

ing the property.

The property was transferred for less than its fair market value, the complaint states. The trustee’s office is asking the court to set aside the deed for the benefit of 43 Middle Pond Road Associates LLC, one of D’Alessio’s development companies.

The trustee is also asking for a money judgment for an unspecified amount, against Middle Pond Partners.

“PCSB Bank Helped Us Achieve Our Business Dreams.”

Michael P. D’Alessio

Dozens of investors sued him last year in Westchester, Manhattan and Long Island courts. Three banks forced him into liquidation in bankruptcy court. He then filed Chapter 7 liquidation petitions for 25 real estate entities.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office accused him of swindling investors out of $58 million last summer, in what the government described as a Ponzi-like scheme in which he commingled investors’ funds and channeled funds through a series of shell companies. He pleaded guilty in November to wire fraud and bankruptcy fraud.

The new allegations concern 43 Middle Pond Road in Southampton.

“When we wanted to expand our business and build a new restaurant, PCSB Bank was there with us on the ground floor; they provided the construction financing and mortgage to help us share our culinary dreams with everyone in this area. We know they have the people and the products that can help any business succeed and grow.

For 25 years, PCSB Bank has not only been part of our growing business, but they have been like members of our family.”

ASK ANDI Organized to win WHEN WE WERE SMALLER AND I WAS WEARING ALL THE HATS I KNEW WHAT CUSTOMERS WANTED AND I COULD OVERSEE EVERYTHING AND MAKE SURE CUSTOMERS GOT WHAT THEY EXPECTED. AS WE HAVE GROWN IT’S GOTTEN MORE COMPLICATED AND I’VE HAD TO LEARN THAT I CAN’T CONTROL EVERYTHING. AS MORE PEOPLE GET INVOLVED, THEY HAVE TO SHARE MORE INFORMATION AND FIGURE OUT HOW AS A TEAM TO GET THINGS RIGHT. AT THE SAME TIME, MANAGERS HAVE TO LEARN, LIKE I DID, THAT THEY CAN’T GET OVERLY INVOLVED IN THE DETAILS. INSTEAD THEY HAVE TO EMPOWER THEIR PEOPLE TO DO THE RIGHT JOB. HOW DO WE FIND THE BALANCE? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Consistently and accurately serving customer needs is a key to success for any company. Make sure your managers are well qualified. Insist on communication structures that bring people together frequently. Develop systems everywhere. Use

breakdowns as opportunities to improve.

When it comes to supplying customers with exactly what they want when they want it, the devil is in the details. As any company grows, more hands in the pot means more to coordinate and more

chances to slip up. Build systems and processes that people use over and over again. Train people on the right way to do things. And instill in everyone respect for doing it right the first time.

Start fixing things by checking on your managers. Do they understand how you want things done? Do they know how to train their people? Are they willing and able to act consistently and demand the same of others? Do they have the technical skills to sort through and resolve glitches? Can they counsel employees and deal with difficult situations? If the answers are yes, keep going. If you answered any questions with a “no,” then focus on training your managers first, workers under them second.

We are happy to announce that our NEW BRANCH, at 500 Westchester Avenue in Port Chester, OFFICIALLY OPENED on December 19th. We are very pleased to be a part of this thriving community, where we look forward to forging new relationships. Our unique brand of customer service and competitive deposit and loan products, will not disappoint.

Insist that managers and workers make time to communicate. Face to face is always best. Three huddles of 10 minutes should suffice. Gather everyone around and use an agenda for each meeting.

At the start of the shift go over what’s on the schedule, employees out for the day/week, machines down for retooling or repair. Mid-shift, review anything that’s behind, glitches that showed up, equipment breakdowns and repair schedules.

End of shift, recap the day’s results, customer priorities, employee schedules, updates on equipment and adjustments to the next shift’s schedule.

The key to consistency is to have systems for how things are done. Doing work the same way every time allows people to more easily identify when there’s a breakdown along the way. And if something gets produced with imperfections, dedication to using systems and processes makes it easier to search for production flaws and material defects.

Document how every product or service is constructed. Create instructions for retooling machines, inventory ordering, receipt and management, actual steps to fabricate each product or service, storage of finished goods and shipping and delivery confirmation.

Put people in charge of tracking how work is flowing through the shop, with the authority to interrupt production if errors show up. Set up a daily and weekly schedule and hold people accountable for meeting that schedule. Periodically check material to insure underlying quality standards are being met. Authorize additional hiring and overtime if necessary, but make sure that labor costs stay within budget or notify sales about potential profitability issues if labor costs are rising.

When breakdowns inevitably happen, train your people to use them as opportunities to improve. Look for root causes in daily huddles. Assign a team to deal with persistent issues. Meet monthly to discuss more systemic changes that need to be implemented.

Business ethics in the age of artificial intelligence and big data

mazon’s decision to build its HQ2 in Long Island City — and bring as many as 25,000 jobs to the region — has generated a host of reactions, ranging from elation about what it does for the region’s economic development to condemnation and cries of crony capitalism.

While those issues are debated, the online retailer’s presence presents a tremendous opportunity for business, higher education and political leaders to address the real challenges of the new economy as defined by innovation, entrepreneurship and technological change. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) — that is, machines that can think and learn — analytics, automation and tracking increasingly will be integrated into just about every aspect of business.

All of this underscores the importance of reexamining business ethics. We must train the next-generation workforce to understand that ethical leadership and empathy matter. Technology is improving our lives, but we can’t ignore the fact that

ultimately, it is our humanity that distinguishes us from machines — even the really smart ones.

At Iona College, ethical leadership and decision-making have been integral parts of the mission and core curriculum. It’s as important as ever.

As business and technology are continuously evolving, we’ve taken a proactive approach to education by creating a transformational ecosystem of entrepreneurship on the Iona College campus. We created the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation in 2017 to develop our students into changemakers, entrepreneurs and leaders who can move the world. Entrepreneurship is a universal skill set they can apply to the IBMs, Googles, Facebooks and Amazons of the world — or the next incarnation of these companies, large or small, whatever they may be.

We focus on entrepreneurship, creative innovation and design thinking. We provide innovation challenges for students to address everything from mon-

etizing new creations to cleaning water through advanced water filtration systems. And we apply an interdisciplinary approach by weaving philosophy, art and math courses into our business curriculum so that students are not only able to think out of the box, but are capable of creating a new box altogether.

Touching every aspect of our curriculum is ethics, empathy and leadership.

Anyone working in a brave new world of advanced technology must have a clear sense of right and wrong that serves as a North Star in developing or implementing new technologies, systems and approaches. Ethical decision-making must be integrated into a company’s mission, otherwise it stands to be ignored, brushed aside or overshadowed.

Integrating these issues into a corporation’s thinking could be one of its most important decisions, particularly when you consider the potential losses when customers perceive that a company doesn’t have their interests in mind.

By design, tech companies rely heav-

ily on AI, big data, analytics, tracking, automation and engineering. One needn’t look much further than Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, where a private political group was given access to as many as 87 million people’s personal data without their consent, to know that privacy, transparency and public trust matter. Sadly, there is no shortage of ethical breaches and questionable decision-making, which is why this issue is prime for discussion.

Amazon’s announcement that it will be locating its HQ2 within miles of our campus is exciting for us — as is the news that Google will invest $1 billion in a New York City campus that will add 7,000 workers — and for so many other educational institutions that view these tech giants as an inspiration and an opportunity for graduates.

FOCUS ON

HEALTH CARE WESTCHESTER COUNTY BUSINESS JOURNAL

Focus on nutrition generates demand for registered dieticians, nutritionists

BY CHRISTEN CUPPLES COOPER

I

f you are perplexed by rapidly increasing health care costs and the ever-broadening girth of the average American, you are not alone.

While the connection between nutrition and overall good health has been established for quite some time, it was not until recently that the medical establishment has begun to step up efforts to focus on preventive medicine, including a focus on nutrition. Chronic diseases, such as heart disease,

cancer and diabetes, are responsible for 7 of every 10 deaths among Americans each year and account for 75 percent of the nation’s health spending, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Proper nutrition, health screenings and other preventive measures can not only reduce these deaths, but save billions in health care costs each year.

With a background in nutrition education from Teachers College, Columbia University and experience in management consulting, my job is to teach students not only

Nutrition and Dietetics Clinical Coordinator Jessica Tosto, left, with student Shanon Grant Wittingham, working with Feeding Westchester’s Mobile Food Pantry at Pace University.

about healthy food choices and the science behind good nutrition, but how to connect our food choices with our health, the economy and the environment.

This added dimension makes Pace University’s two-year program unique in the nation, going beyond traditional clinical nutrition to showcase culinary nutrition and food justice as well as food policy.

The program teaches students to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, when it comes to healthful eating. Our students will be able to show people how to select, prepare, cook

WCBJ

and enjoy healthful foods.

Many people don’t realize that using fresh ingredients instead of lots of fat, sugar and salt can be affordable, quite easy and delicious. Students will also understand where food is grown, how it is harvested and distributed and the reasons many Americans lack access to it. Nutrition is complex and touches every person, everywhere. This field blends food science, psychology, geography, sociology, political science and environmental studies.

Nutrition—

Nutrition programs that include two years of classroom learning and one year of unpaid internship, Pace’s program is designed to give students real-world experience.

Pace combines classroom learning and the 1,200 requisite dietetic internship hours into a two-year program. As of 2024, RDNs will require a minimum of a master’s degree for entry-level practice and Pace’s program provides a fast-track option for this.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics suggests that there will be a national shortage of RDNs by 2020 and that the field will experience 16 percent growth in job opportunities between 2014 and 2024.

RDNs are reimbursed by health insurers for mainly acute conditions

but not for preventive care, the very place that they might make the biggest difference. Research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) suggests that about 70 percent of chronic diseases — including the most common and expensive, such as cancer, Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and kidney disease — are preventable in many people who adopt positive lifestyle changes, especially dietary changes. The American Institute of Cancer Research claims that the major underlying factor for six types of cancer is overweight/obesity, which is directly linked to diet. Excess weight comes even before cigarette smoking when it comes to risk for some diseases.

As health care costs rise, insurers will likely look to dietitians for affordable, targeted preventive care.

Pace’s nutrition students also have the advantage of training inter-professionally in the College of Health Professions’ Clinical Education Lab, where they will participate next semester in resolving simulated health care cases.

The nutrition students’ internship rotations will begin this summer in corporate, school and restaurant food service settings and will continue with community work in food banks, farmers markets, supermarkets and private practices.

Their training will then progress to medical nutrition therapy in local hospitals and clinics.

Retia Medical becomes first BioInc@NYMC client to win FDA clearance

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

R

etia Medical LLC has received federal clearance for a new cardiovascular monitor, the first company to obtain such approval while a client of New York Medical College's biotechnology incubator in Valhalla.

Retia Medical obtained Food and Drug Administration clearance for a cardiovascular monitoring system called the Argos Hemodynamic Monitor.

It is now available for sale in the U.S. Retia is among a group of medical and biotech startups that have offices at BioInc@ NYMC, an incubator the col-

(cardiovascular output) monitoring technologies in order to realize the potentially life-saving benefits that accurate and effective hemodynamic management can provide to patients."

The company's aim is to give clinicians up-to-theminute data for patient care decisions. The company also hopes to offer clinicians greater access to cardiovascular output monitoring by reducing cost and inconvenience, factors it says limit use of the technology to the most high-risk patients.

New York Medical College, which is part of the metropolitan region’s Touro College and University System, launched the BioInc@NYMC incubator

lege launched in 2014 on its campus at 7 Dana Road.

Hemodynamic monitoring helps measure cardiovascular output, the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute. The Argos Hemodynamic Monitor is intended to provide care providers in an operating room or ICU with a more accurate and affordable monitor. According to its website, the 5-year cost to own the monitor is $19,200.

Comparable monitors cost $84,000 and $90,000, according to Retia.

In a statement, CEO and co-founder Marc Zemel said the company "designed Retia’s proprietary MBA algorithm to overcome the limitations of current

with a mix of county, state and federal funds. The incubator received $1.25 million from the state in 2017 through its designation as a biotech Innovation Hot Spot.

BioInc@NYMC offers shared resources, lab space and professional services to entrepreneurs and startups in life sciences fields.

In 2017, the incubator booked a prominent anchor tenant when the Dutch technology conglomerate Royal Philips signed on for office space to house 13 researchers in its genomics program.

The incubator shares the building with the college’s Clinical Skills and Disaster Medicine Training Center, a 21,000-square-foot facility that opened in 2014.

Good Things WCC FORUM ASKS WHERE WE ARE

Part of the Mill River parcel before winter set in.

WLT PRESERVES TWO MORE PROPERTIES Westchester Land Trust (WLT) has announced the permanent preservation of two properties totaling 36 acres within the town of Lewisboro. These parcels expand an open space corridor near the 370-acre Leon Levy Preserve, which is owned by the town of Lewisboro and protected in perpetuity by a conservation easement held by WLT. Included is a 33-acre parcel encompassing a segment of the Mill River, near Route 123. WLT has also completed the conservation of a 3-acre property on Ridgefield Avenue located between the Leon Levy Preserve and the Gossett Conservation Area, a 31-acre nature sanctuary.

In 2018, Westchester Land Trust preserved nine properties totaling 600 acres, marking one of the most successful years since the organization’s founding in 1988 and bringing its total preserved lands to nearly 8,400 acres.

“Lewisboro lies in the midst of a key conservation corridor and there is still much important land we need to protect here,” said Susan Henry, founding WLT director and longtime Lewisboro resident.

Stepinac High School in White Plains continues to follow the careers of two of its alumni who made names for themselves in the entertainment field and recently touted their appearances on a Showtime TV series.

The alumni are actors Jon Voight and Alan Alda. In an announcement, Stepinac reported that Alda joined Voight on-screen in the series “Ray Donovan.”

Alda played a psychiatrist in the episode entitled “Dream On.” Stepinac recalled that both actors visited the school in 2009 to honor their dramatics and literature teacher, Rev. Bernie McMahon. Alda was a 1952 graduate while Voight graduated in 1956. During their visit, they presented McMahon with Stepinac’s Major Bowes Award, named after Edward Bowes, a popular radio personality in the 1930s and 1940s.

McMahon said, “My job was not to impose but to elicit what my students had inside of them. What I tried to do was create a sense of joy. If they have that joy, they will find the real person in the character they are presenting.”

The Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation (HGRF), the charitable arm of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors (HGAR), recently presented a check for $3,000 to Drug Crisis in Our Backyard, a nonprofit, which serves the Hudson Valley from its headquarters in Carmel.

The organization was founded in 2012 by Susan and Steve Salomone and Carol and Lou Christiansen after their sons became victims of heroin abuse. The organization promotes awareness about drug use, assists addicted and at-risk individuals and their families and implements measures, including legislation that holds accountable organizations and medical institutions that perpetuate drug use through over-prescription of opiates and other drugs Carol Christiansen is a broker/owner with Café Realty in Mount Kisco. Steve Salomone is an associate broker with Houlihan Lawrence Commercial Real Estate in Rye Brook.

HGAR is a nonprofit trade association representing almost 12,000 real estate professionals doing business in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Orange and Sullivan counties, as well as the Bronx and Manhattan.

FELDMAN NAMED PARTNER

From left: Jon Voight, Rev. Bernie McMahon and Alan Alda.

The laws firm Harris Beach, which has more than 220 lawyers in offices located in New York state, Connecticut and New Jersey, has named seven of them as new partners, including White Plains attorney Christopher Feldman.

Feldman represents municipalities, school districts and commercial clients in matters ranging from Constitutional issues to partnership disputes. He received his law degree from the Pace University School of Law and holds a bachelor’s degree from LaSalle University.

The firm’s other new partners are Rachel C. Baranello, Allison B. Fiut, Francis L. Gorman III, Melanie C. Marotto, Omar Nasar and Danielle M. Rizzo.

TOMPKINS MAKES TWO DONATIONS Tompkins Financial Advisors, which has offices in the Hudson Valley as well as other parts of New York state and Pennsylvania, recently made a $1,000 donation to The Arc Westchester, which is based in Hawthorne, in honor of Bernard A. Krooks, an attorney and past president of The Arc’s board of directors.

The gift will help support the organization’s programs to assist children, teens and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The second $1,000 gift went to Hastings-based Westchester Creative Arts Therapy Services, which provides music and art therapy programs to children and young adults with special needs to foster cognitive, emotional, speech and social development, along with a sense of well-being.

William D. Winters, senior vice president, and managing director in the Hudson Valley for Tompkins, praised both organizations for “… working so diligently on behalf of our community’s people in need.”

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

New York Medical College’s (NYMC) Center for Disaster Medicine (CDM) recently conducted an eight-hour mass casualty triage training course with staff at St. John’s Riverside Hospital in Yonkers.

“Even the most seasoned emergency room professional can benefit from learning or brushing up on the most effective triage methods,” said Dr. David S. Markenson, medical director and interim director of the CDM. “Our training sessions are proactive ways medical professionals can prepare for disaster situations.”

The course featured hands-on exercises, lectures and interactive group discussions to teach participants the most effective and evidence-supported emergency department and hospital triage methods, initial interventions and patient-flow approaches for mass casualty events. The CDM has previously held similar training sessions for first responders, law enforcement officials, health care leaders, business leaders and school officials.

“This kind of training is incredibly important to better prepare our current emergency room physicians as well as our emergency

room residents. These providers are among the first line of responders and to have knowledge and the opportunity to actually practice their response prior to a crisis is invaluable,” said Elizabeth Fernandez, assistant program director of St. John’s Riverside Hospital’s Emergency Medicine Residency Program and an emergency medicine physician.

Elected officials, including New York state Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, came to show their support and speak about the necessity of this training in order to provide mass-casualty victims the best possible care.
