Briarcliff Manor entrepreneur is trying to create the world’s most efficient and commercially viable solar cell, building on his late father’s scientific legacy and perhaps helping to change an entire industry.

Ashok Chaudhari heads SolarTectic LLC, a solar research and development firm that its founder describes as a family company that includes his mother and sister.

From a home office in Briarcliff, Solar-Tectic has been awarded five patents in different solar technologies, most recently for a germanium perovskite thin film tandem solar cell. The company has an additional 20 patents pending.

Its most recent patent, granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in January, is the latest step for the company in creating a tandem thin film solar cell.

It’s a type of cell that Chaudhari believes will prove more efficient and cheaper to produce than the currently dominant silicon wafer cell, used in about of 90 percent of solar panels.

Chaudhari has developed a small solar cell from a previous patent as a proof of concept, but the majority of his work to this point is in intellectual property, developing patents.

No solar panel now on the commercial market can reach 30 percent efficiency at converting light into energy, but Chaudhari believes Solar-Tectic’s cell design » SOLAR, page 2

Ossining group proposes homestead option, tax hike for condos

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

S

eeing an inequity in the way single-family homes and condominiums are taxed in the town of Ossining, a group is proposing the town board consider an option that would increase property tax rates for condo owners.

Jerry Gershner, Salvatore Carrera and Mark Seiden, representatives of the Ossining Committee for Fair Taxation, have proposed that the town implement the state’s Homestead Tax Option, which would assess condominiums on their market value, like single-family homes.

The Ossining Committee for Fair Taxation proposes a five-toseven-year phase-in of the home-

stead option to keep the increases in taxes from overwhelming condominium owners, something that would require legislation from Albany.

“We’re not looking to suddenly do something and (say), ‘Forget what Albany says, let’s just get the condo people to suddenly go from $8,000 to $15,000 in taxes,’” said Seiden, owner of Briarcliff Manorbased Mark Seiden Real Estate Team. “We really want to make sure that it is fair.”

Seiden said the phasing-in of the tax increase would mitigate any effects on the condominium’s market values.

“While real estate taxes are one of the many factors that a buyer will take into account when

making a decision where to live, it is far from the only deciding factor,” he said.

Lynn Farrell, a resident of Fox Hill Condominiums in Ossining and member of the Town of Ossining Condominium Association, disagreed.

“Common sense would tell you that (the homestead option) will have a definite impact on resale value of the condos,” she said. “Why would you buy a condo in Ossining if the taxes were the same as a private home? Why would you pay taxes for garbage, roads and lighting and then pay for them again in your monthly common charges?

“If you wanted to live in a condo, you would buy in

another community where the taxes reflected the services you received,” Farrell said.

A state law passed in 1981 established the Homestead Tax Option, which prevents any large shift of the property tax burden to residential owners after a revaluation.

Ossining completed the $1.8 million revaluation of its 10,138 properties in 2016, the first such reassessment in 40 years. The project aimed to estimate fair market value for all residential, apartment and commercial properties within the town.

“Now we’re at a point where everyone is at full market value, » CONDOS, page 6

can do that. And if a cell can reach that high efficiency, solar has the ability to grow from a still small share of U.S. energy production into a primary source, he said.

“At 30 percent, at these costs, fossil fuels for electricity generation would no longer be necessary,” he said.

The story of how Chaudhari, who once planned to become a minister, came to lead his own scientific research firm starts with the legacy of his father, a renowned materials physicist.

PRAVEEN CHAUDHARI Praveen Chaudhari, a native of India who arrived in the U.S. in 1961 as a graduate student in physical metallurgy at MIT, held various research and management positions for three decades at IBM, including a stint as vice president of science for the Armonk-based company. Under his stewardship, IBM scientists were awarded two Nobel Prizes.

Chaudhari applied for 22 patents while at IBM, including one for the erasable readwrite compact discs often used to burn music or other data files. In 1995, President Bill Clinton awarded him the National Medal of Technology and Innovation for the invention, recognizing that the technology served as the foundation for the magnetic-optic disk industry.

In 2003, he was appointed by President George W. Bush as director of the Brookhaven National Laboratory, the Long Island institute run by the federal Department of Energy. Chaudhari served in the role until 2006.

He died in 2010, two years after filing for his final patent: a method for growing heterepitaxial single crystal or large-grained semiconductor films and devices. The patent provides a method for producing a thin film of an inexpensive semiconductor, such as silicon, at a low temperature, and depositing the film on an inexpensive surface, such as glass.

That patent was finally granted in 2015, but had already laid the groundwork for the technology Solar-Tectic is developing today.

Ashok Chaudhari may seem an unlikely heir to carry on his father’s invention.

The entrepreneur, who holds a master’s degree in religious studies from Stanford University and a master of divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in Manhattan, said he was in the process of being ordained as a Presbyterian minister when the elder Chaudhari died and he was drawn to his father’s work researching solar technology.

Chaudhari said his father likely took on the solar research project as the latest in a series of engineering challenges, yet he also

wanted to write the patent for his family. He and his father had discussed the possibility that Ashok would continue the solar cell research, but he said neither of them expected it would lead to a long-term project.

“I didn’t see myself as someone starting a solar company. I was going to be a minister at that time,” Chaudhari said. “I thought, OK, it’s great he wrote this patent for the family and if I can develop it or bring it further, I’ll do it, but I was thinking maybe it was a part-time thing or a weekend hobby.

I didn’t expect to be spending full-time on the business.”

He first tried to license the technology to another company for development.

When that didn’t work out, he launched Solar-Tectic as a way to try to finish and commercialize the solar technology his father left behind.

“I didn’t know a thing,” he said. “But right away, it really grabbed me.”

He landed at SUNY Polytechnic Institute’s iClean incubator for energy and nanotechnology in Albany, where for a year his company had access to expensive equipment and expertise. Solar-Tectic has also worked with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado and Blue Wave Semiconductors, a Maryland-based manufacturer, to build a prototype of an earlier patent.

After almost seven years in research and development, Solar-Tectic now has patents either approved or pending for technology he believes can boost solar cell efficiency.

THE TECHNOLOGY The U.S. solar market is already growing rapidly. Solar installations increased by 95 percent in 2016 over a number in 2015 that was already a record, according to data from the Solar Energy Industries Association.

That growth has been spurred in part by a reduction in the cost of solar energy production. Chaudhari said the prices can be driven down even more by advances in solar cell technology.

The dominant silicon wafer solar cells convert light into energy with an efficiency

that averages about 18 percent. The race is on to create a solar cell that can surpass that efficiency without increasing production costs.

Solar-Tectic’s research has produced what Chaudhari says is a viable solution. It uses thin film to produce a tandem solar cell. Thin film is a less commonly used type of solar cell that deposits one or more ultrathin layers of photovoltaic material on glass.

The tandem thin film cell would use two separate photovoltaic materials in the film to capture a wider range of wavelengths on the light spectrum, increasing efficiency. “The best of both worlds,” Chaudhari described it.

The company’s most recent patent, for a germanium perovskite thin film tandem solar cell, is its most significant yet, according to Chaudhari. He said it’s the first patent for a tandem structure thin film cell. Thin film uses less material and can be produced at a lower temperature, potentially lowering the costs to make it.

Solar-Tectic also has a patent pending for a silicon perovskite thin film tandem cell, along with a mix of other materials. The material combinations change slightly with each patent, but the focus is consistent on creating a tandem thin film cell with a different material on a bottom layer and top layer.

Chaudhari said the recently patented solar cell is especially promising because germanium is more efficient at converting light into electricity than silicon. But the material is so expensive that it’s now used only in satellites, he said. By using it in thin film, where the material needed is a fraction of the width of a strand of hair, it could become affordable enough to be commercially viable, he said.

The materials would be grown on a soda-lime glass surface, the same glass used on window panes and to bottle soda, another way to keep production costs down.

The company in 2016 began to shift its focus from researching and developing intellectual property to publicizing its results.

Last July, Chaudhari published a paper in the U.K.-based “Journal of Energy Challenges and Mechanics.” Solar-Tectic’s research was recognized with a national award in January by the Texas-based market research firm Frost & Sullivan.

Chaudhari said the company is seeking funding to finance a proof-of-concept for its tandem thin film technology. He is also in talks with companies on a potential partnership to develop and commercialize the patented technology.

The goal is an ambitious one, but Chaudhari is confident his company’s solar cell technology can create the world’s most efficient solar panel.

“We have the technology and we have the patents for it,” he said. “The world’s most efficient solar cell, but also cost-effective.

We are not going to give up the cost factor.”

Health care leaders worry about Obamacare repeal

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

T

he Affordable Care Act may not be perfect, but health care providers are increasingly worried over the effects its repeal could have, especially if the 2010 law is not immediately replaced.

That was the message from a group of health care executives, among them representatives hospitals from each of the major health care systems operating in Westchester County, at a roundtable discussion on Feb. 13 at White Plains Hospital.

The discussion was organized by U.S. Rep. Nita Lowey and marked the first time that representatives from Montefiore Health System, Northwell Health and Westchester Medical Center Health Network gathered to discuss possible changes to the Affordable Care Act, often referred to as Obamacare.

President Donald Trump and a Republican-controlled Congress point to rising premiums under the ACA and vow to repeal it. But Republicans have not yet offered a comprehensive plan for what would replace the law.

That concerned many who were at the roundtable. Lowey pointed out the possible

ramifications in New York if the law were repealed. The Harrison Democrat, a ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, said repeal could strip coverage from 2.7 million New Yorkers and lead to more than 130,000 job cuts.

“Let me be perfectly clear: this Republican attempt to dismantle the Affordable Care Act could jeopardize the financial security of New York families and put lives at risk,” Lowey said.

Susan Fox, president and CEO of White Plains Hospital, a member of the Montefiore Health System, said that health care providers bought into the goals of the Affordable Care Act when it was first discussed and passed: access, higher quality care and a plan to lower costs. She said hospitals have been taking on some of the costs of the act by investing in a higher quality of care, with the thought that more people would be insured, bringing in more dollars.

“So when we talk about repeal and replace, we cannot repeal without replacing,” Fox said. “Because the dollars would go out of our institutions.”

Hospital executives also fretted over the potential loss of the expanded Medicaid dollars under the Affordable Care Act. Anthony Mahler, senior vice president of

strategic planning at Westchester Medical Center, said the hospital is “very dependent” on government funding, including $400 million a year in Medicaid revenue.

“It’s not the only thing we do, we are about a $1.2 billion hospital just in Valhalla, but the Medicaid is core, and it’s also core to our mission,” Mahler said. Any cuts to Medicaid, he said, could have serious consequences for the hospital.

“Our margins are, to call them thin, I think, is even generous,” Mahler said.

Kevin Dahill, president and CEO of the Northern Metropolitan Hospital Association, said the Affordable Care Act, while not perfect, did help an “inefficient” commercial health care market. He said the federal mandate requiring people to buy insurance, as well as government subsidies, helped grow the base of people covered.

“That part of it has worked. Growing the risk pool, there still is some work to be done,” Dahill said. “But if there is just a wide repeal, the insurance market could get thrown into an upheaval.”

Mark Geller, CEO of Nyack Hospital, a member of the Montefiore Health System, also sounded alarms about the impact of any repeal of the law without a replacement.

“If there is repeal without replace,

patients in Rockland County are going to lose access,” Geller said. “We’re not going to be able to provide the services that we have historically. ...Absent a replacement process, there will be significant diminution in the volume of services and in the ability of the hospitals to stay open.”

Joel Seligman, president and CEO of Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, part of Northwell Health, said it was also important to highlight how the law helped shift the focus for hospitals.

Provisions in the law incentivized hospitals to move from a fee-for-service model to a value-based system. He described what that looked like.

“Focus on prevention, focus on wellness, focus on continuity of patient care,” Seligman said. “The idea of keeping patients out of our hospitals, out of our emergency rooms, home safely, living longer and healthier lives. There’s been tremendous progress in that regard and no one is talking about that side of it.”

With the Affordable Care Act still in place, sign-ups have surged on the New York State of Health marketplace, the Business Journal reported. More than 3.6 million people signed up for health insurance » OBAMACARE, page 17

REGENERON’S NET INCOME UP 40 PERCENT

Driven by sales of EYLEA, an injectable drug treating certain eye diseases, net income at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. last year rose 40 percent, to approximately $1.32 billion, compared with 2015, the Westchesterbased company announced in its fourthquarter and year-end financial report.

Total revenues in 2016 for Regeneron, the state’s largest biopharmaceutical employer, rose to $4.86 billion, an 18 percent increase from the previous year.

The year ended with the company reaching an agreement with its Landmark at Eastview landlord, Biomed Realty, to purchase the 150-acre life sciences campus in the towns of Greenburgh and Mount Pleasant for $720 million. The deal, which Regeneron plans to finance through a five-year lease arrangement with Banc of America Leasing and Capital, is expected to close by the end of March.

Regeneron reported fourth-quarter net income in 2016 of $353 million, a 37 percent

increase from the fourth quarter of 2015.

For company stockholders, net income in the recent fourth quarter amounted to $3.04 per diluted share, up 36 percent from the fourth quarter of 2015.

For the full year, net income per diluted share was $11.32 in 2016, up 39 percent from the $8.12 in net income per diluted share in 2015.

Total fourth-quarter revenues last year amounted to approximately $1.23 billion, Regeneron reported, up 12 percent from approximately $1.1 billion in total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2015.

Regeneron reported net product sales of $863 million in last year’s fourth quarter, up from $750 million in the fourth quarter of 2015. Net product sales in all of 2016 totaled nearly $3.34 billion, a $649 million increase from sales of its drug products in 2015.

Net sales of EYLEA in the U.S. climbed to $858 million in last year’s fourth quarter, up 15 percent from the same period in 2015. For the full year, net sales in the U.S. of Regeneron’s treatment for eye diseases totaled $3.323 billion, a 24 percent increase from 2015, the company reported.

Citing “the hard work of our scientists over the last decades,” Dr. Leonard S. Schleifer, Regeneron’s founding CEO, in the report said the company has reached “the next phase of our evolution” and expects to launch two more antibody therapies this

year, “significantly expanding our impact for patients with serious diseases and our company’s growth potential.”

In March, Regeneron’s antibody drug Dupixent could be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat adults with atopic dermatitis. The company is studying Dupixent’s potential to treat other patients with serious allergic diseases, Schleifer said, including asthma in adults and children, children with atopic dermatitis and patients with nasal polyps.

Regeneron has 16 antibody drug products in its clinical development pipeline, including six in collaboration with Sanofi, the French pharmaceutical company.

ACORDA SAYS PARKINSON’S DRUG SHOWS POSITIVE TRIAL RESULTS

Officials at Acorda Therapeutics Inc. announced that a recent Phase 3 clinical trial of an inhalable drug developed by the biotechnology company in Ardsley to treat re-emergent symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease produced positive results that support Acorda’s plans to seek marketing approval for the drug in the U.S and Europe this year.

The Acorda drug being studied, CVT-301, is a form of levodopa, or L-dopa, which is commonly prescribed and taken orally in a treatment regimen for Parkinson’s patients.

The 12-week safety and efficacy study

involved 339 patients who on their own took doses either of CVT-301 or a placebo.

Those taking the drug showed a statistically significant improvement in motor function during episodes of symptom flareups, the company reported.

Dr. Burkhard Black, chief medical officer at Acorda, in a press release said the company was “greatly encouraged by the efficacy and safety results of this trial.”

The Phase 3 study’s lead investigator, Dr. Peter LeWitt, director of the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Program at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, said delivering levodopa through the lungs “offers an important treatment option for people with Parkinson’s disease.”

Acorda officials said the company plans to file a new drug application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by the second quarter this year and to seek marketing authorization in Europe by the end of 2017, pending additional data analyses.

Founded in 1995, Acorda develops drugs that restore function in patients with neurological disorders. Its leading marketed product, Ampyra extended release tablets, are taken to improve walking in people with multiple sclerosis. The company in January reported full-year net sales of $493 million for Ampyra in 2016, an approximately 13 percent increase from 2015.

Pace University names its next president

berlin College President Marvin Krislov has been chosen to succeed Stephen J. Friedman as president of Pace University.

The 56-year-old Krislov takes over the post on Aug. 1. Friedman, 78, announced a year ago that he would not request reappointment when his current term ends on June 30. He has served 10 years as president.

Mark M. Besca, chairman of the university board of trustees, said Krislov “is the ideal person to lead Pace into a new era of growth and build on the renewal and revitalization that Pace has experienced under Steve Friedman. Marvin has demonstrated

S

throughout his career the strong, effective, enlightened, and passionate leadership to propel Pace to a new level of impact and stature.”

Krislov, who has been president of the liberal arts school in Ohio since 2007, said, “I am honored to be chosen to lead Pace University during this exciting period of growth and revitalization as the University advances its position as one of the nation’s foremost institutions in fostering the leaders of tomorrow. Pace’s commitment to access and pathways to success for students inspires me.”

At Oberlin, Krislov also taught advanced courses every semester on law and public

policy. In November 2009, he was appointed to the advisory board of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

He led an Oberlin fundraising campaign that exceeded its $250 million target by $68 million and achieved it 18 months ahead of schedule.

During his leadership, Oberlin “became more inclusive, strengthened its academic programs, improved student outcomes, created new career opportunities for faculty and staff, expanded fundraising and alumni participation and improved its campus facilities,” according to the Pace announcement.

Krislov previously served as vice presi-

dent and general counsel at the University of Michigan for nine years. Before joining academia, he held solicitor posts in the U.S. Department of Labor and was an associate counsel in the Office of Counsel to the President.

The selection process for Friedman’s successor began last March and was led by a 15-member search committee representing trustees, faculty, administrators, alumni, benefactors and students.

With campuses in New York City and Westchester County, Pace enrolls nearly 13,000 students in bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs.

Spirits importer will relocate to White Plains

idney Frank Importing Co. Inc., the U.S. importer of the German spirits brand Jagermeister, will relocate its headquarters from New Rochelle to 10 Bank St. in downtown White Plains, where it has signed a long-term lease for a full floor of nearly 30,000 square feet. The office move is targeted for June.

The lease deal was announced by Empire State Realty Trust Inc. in Manhattan,

the owner and manager of 10 Bank St. The 45-year-old import company now is headquartered at 20 Cedar St. in New Rochelle, where it has approximately 180 full-time employees, according to its website.

The company in 2015 was acquired by Mast-Jagermeister SE, the privately owned German manufacturer of its namesake spirits brand and other alcoholic beverages, and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of the German company in the largest inter-

national market for its Jagermeister liqueur.

Empire State Realty Trust’s 10 Bank St., is an approximately 229,000-square-foot, 12-story office tower within walking distance of the White Plains Transportation Center.

“This upper floor availability at 10 Bank Street provided Sidney Frank with a unique opportunity to house its operations on a single, efficient floor plate, with an abundance of natural light and expansive corner views, and easy access to mass transit,” said

Jeffrey H. Newman, senior vice president of ESRT, in the deal announcement. “We are thrilled to welcome Sidney Frank to our portfolio.”

Jay Hruska and Skip Lane of Cushman & Wakefield represented Sidney Frank in the lease negotiations. Newman represented the landlord, along with Kimberly Zaccagnino, Empire State Realty Trust senior leasing associate, and leasing associate Tara Long.

Goodbye warehouses, hello apartments for young professionals ENCLAVE EQUITIES PLANS 179 UNITS IN FLEETWOOD

BY BILL HELTZEL

Mount Vernon, with three train stations and quick access to highways, is posed for development, Mermelstein said.

Enclave wants to construct five buildings with 179 apartments. One cluster will have two 5-story buildings at 645 MacQuesten next to the Classic Audi repair shop. Another cluster includes two 5-story buildings at 525 MacQuesten and a 4-story building behind them that will

front on Locust Street.

Fleetwood retailers say they are hurting and need an economic shot in the arm, according to Mermelstein. Enclave sees market-rate apartments rather than subsidized housing as the key to stimulating a neighborhood. Yet market-rate apartments are in short supply in Mount Vernon.

“This gives them the shot,” he said. “You need to bring in people who can spend

money. You bring in the people and retail will follow.”

He said the project would not strain the school system because it is designed for young professionals without children, with 600 square feet for one-bedroom units and 800 square feet for two bedrooms. He estimated that no more than six school-age children will be housed there.

The developer has passed muster with the zoning board and planning board. The architectural review board is next, and the Mount Vernon Industrial Development Agency is doing a cost-benefit analysis of the project.

Enclave has asked the IDA for sales and mortgage tax relief totaling about $1.4 million, tax abatement for 25 to 30 years and a payment in lieu of taxes agreement of $940 for one-bedroom units and $1,100 for the two-bedroom units.

The company has budgeted $43.7 million, including about $33.6 million for construction. It expects to create 200 construction jobs and 15 permanent jobs.

Enclave has applied for a demolition permit and is ready to raze the warehouses.

Construction will take about 24 months.

“We believe in Mount Vernon,” Mermelstein said. “This project is really important. It will change the area for the better.”

fair share,” Gershner said.

Gershner said that homeowners are subsidizing condominium owners by paying an increased real estate tax to make up for a condominium assessment valuation shortfall.

“The condominiums are probably taxed at about 40 percent less than a single-family home and that’s pretty substantial,” Seiden said.

This is not the first time the idea of reassessing condominiums has come up in the town. In 2015, Ossining chose to move forward with its property revaluation without implementing the homestead option.

“The town board made a decision that the benefit to the individual homeowners was not so great as to outweigh the detriment to folks that own condos,” Farrell said.

Scarsdale, Mamaroneck and the towns of Carmel and Greenburgh decided against implementing the tax option following their respective revaluations in recent years, while Sleepy Hollow and the towns of Rye and Pelham have each adopted the

homestead option.

In her 2015 campaign, Ossining Town Supervisor Dana Levenberg said she was opposed to the homestead rule.

“Everyone up for election last year said they were not in favor of homestead,” Farrell said.

Carrera, an independent real estate broker and former director of the county’s departments of real estate and economic development, feels community sentiment may be different this time around.

“What the homeowners did not get the information on during the reassessment, and (led to) the board not moving forward with the homestead act, is that no one explained to them the amount of savings on a yearly basis the average homeowner would save,” Carrera said.

“This board was elected to serve and represent everyone, not just condo owners, and I think that’s a very important fact that has to be brought to the attention of homeowners, because there are a lot of condominium owners with associations

that come forward and speak their piece,” Carrera said. “We don’t have that as the individual homeowners, which we will do as we move forward, depending on what this board does.”

Levenberg said the town board plans to gather additional information and schedule a work session or town hall meeting regarding the issue.

“We will have more on that in the near future,” she said.

The town could move forward with the homestead option during a ratio analysis it plans to complete later this year, Gonzalez said. Requests for comment to the state Department of Taxation and Finance were not returned at press time.

The Ossining Committee for Fair Taxation hopes the board will open the issue up to a town referendum “to be voted by the people who are going to be paying these taxes,” Seiden said.

“This is not a war against condo owners,” Gershner said. “It’s just an opportunity to correct the inequality.”

T

wo decrepit warehouses on North MacQuesten Parkway in Mount Vernon could be the key to revitalizing Fleetwood.

Enclave Equities plans to demolish the structures and build clusters of market-rate, low-rise apartment buildings.

“It’s the perfect site to get the area completely revitalized,” said Sam Mermelstein, vice president of development.

Enclave bought the warehouse at 645 MacQuesten, a half-block away from MetroNorth’s Fleetwood station, and another a block or so south at 525 MacQuesten, for $9.1 million in 2006.

The warehouses have outlived their usefulness. “The way it stands now, they make no sense,” Mermelstein said. The company is paying taxes but cannot make enough money on rents. “They’re coming down.”

Enclave got its start in 2008 managing a portfolio of distressed properties. Now the Purchase-based company focuses on underperforming or mismanaged properties in fundamentally sound markets. It has more than 1,500 apartments and 300,000 square feet of commercial space in development, mostly in New York City and the Northeast corridor.

with the exception of the condominiums, but that’s by law,” said Gershner, who is also president of Gershner Realty Associates.

“No one gave them a break. The law dictates how condominiums are to be assessed, but they’re assessed as commercial property, not residential property. That’s what complicates things.”

According to Ossining Assessor Fernando Gonzalez, there are approximately 1,850 condominium units in Ossining and 6,800 single-family homes. The homestead option’s implementation would decrease homeowners’ yearly property taxes by about 8 percent on average, Gonzalez said, while taxes for condominium owners could jump between 40 to 60 percent.

“We have the opportunity to make certain adjustments to those properties which are underassessed by law, particularly the condominiums, and we’re proposing that that be adjusted and that everyone pay their

Morton’s pulls up stakes for City Center sizzle

BY JOHN GOLDEN

An attorney for Kite Realty told the council last year that restored valet service was essential to the company’s improvements project at City Center in order to attract more upscale restaurants to the complex.

Kite Realty said last week that public valet parking will be added soon at City Center.

Kite Realty Group Trust was represented on the Morton’s lease by RHYS, a commercial real estate firm based in Stamford.

RHYS Executive Vice President and Principal Jason Wuchiski, Vice President Tyler Lyman and Senior Associate Ryan Stranko were the sole brokers in the deal.

orton’s The Steakhouse by summer will relocate its downtown White Plains restaurant to City Center, where it will lease storefront space on Mamaroneck Avenue vacated more than three years ago by the popular Legal Sea Foods.

The lease deal for 8,000 square feet of space at 5 Mamaroneck Ave. was announced

by City Center’s owner, Kite Realty Group Trust in Indianapolis, which recently completed a multimillion-dollar renovation of the 600,000-square-foot retail, restaurant and cinema complex it acquired in 2014 in a $2.1 billion merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust Inc. of suburban Chicago.

The landlord said the new Morton’s location is scheduled to open by midyear.

The upscale steakhouse chain will move from its ground-floor space at 9 Maple Ave. in The Source at White Plains, a 240,000-squarefoot retail and office building at the corner of Bloomingdale Road and Maple Avenue, where Danone North America, which makes Dannon yogurt, in 2018 will move its headquarters from the town of Greenburgh.

The White Plains Common Council this month approved a zoning amendment to allow Danone NA to open a food laboratory in the building’s street-level retail space, where shoppers and pedestrians can view the production of small yogurt samples. The Morton’s restaurant space will be the site of Danone’s food laboratory and cafeteria, according to “Real Estate in Depth,” the trade publication of the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors.

Kite Realty also announced that Blaze Pizza, an artisanal-pizza franchise chain based in Pasadena, California, recently signed a lease at City Center and is scheduled to open there this fall.

The announced lease deal with Morton’s came one year after the city’s Common Council, at the urging of City Center’s owner, passed an ordinance to allow valet parking service by permit-holding operators in specific downtown areas. The council last February approved the city’s first designated valet drop-off area on the Mamaroneck Avenue block that fronts City Center.

Legal Sea Foods closed its City Center restaurant in late 2013 after city officials banned downtown valet parking service.

Mayor Thomas Roach last year described the prior service as unregulated and chaotic, leaving some diners and other downtown visitors with parking tickets for illegal street parking by valet attendants.

A Legal Sea Foods executive at the time of the closing said the city’s elimination of valet parking made operating at the Mamaroneck Avenue location “untenable.”

Owners find love, and labor of love, at Hartsdale restaurant

IN THE FAMILY

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

illaggio Italiano Restaurant in Hartsdale is a true labor of love for its owners, Robyn and Danny Santiago. Though the couple acquired the restaurant in 2015, the Italian eatery at 389 N. Central Ave. has long held a special place in the hearts of the husband-and-wife duo.

They first met at the restaurant nearly two decades ago, when Danny worked behind the bar and in the kitchen, while Robyn served as a waitress. Over the years, Danny moved up the ranks at Villaggio, eventually becoming a manager, while Robyn went on to start her own public rela-

tions firm in Valhalla, Illumination PR. She has continued as the boutique firm’s CEO since becoming a restaurant owner.

When Villaggio’s former owners, Maria and Lou Scampone, who had helmed the eatery for more than 38 years, decided it was time to retire, Danny and Robyn knew they couldn’t let the restaurant fall into the hands of a stranger.

“It was important to us that we continued as one family,” Robyn said. “Danny and I knew it was a successful location since we both worked there, and we knew the hard work and dedication that the previous owners had put into Villaggio.”

For Danny, Villaggio is truly a home away from home. He emigrated to the U.S. from Mexico nearly 30 years ago and took a

job as a dishwasher at the restaurant. Three other employees of the eatery also hail from his hometown.

“The existing staff is family,” said Robyn.

“We all get on each other’s nerves from time to time but at the end of the day, we are all family.” When assuming ownership, it was important to the couple to retain the restaurant’s workforce.

“Our families grew up together, and their kids came to the restaurant often. For some of the staff, this is the only job they’ve known,” Robyn said. “Changing that would be disruptive to us, to them and to their families.”

And keeping the eatery’s menu consistent too was important to the new owners.

“The old saying, ‘If it’s not broken, don’t fix it’ fits perfectly in this scenario,” Robyn said.

“The previous owners spent time perfecting the menu and the way the restaurant was run. We thought that if we came in and bought the restaurant and changed everything, we would lose the loyalty of our already loyal customer base.”

But there have been a few changes since the Santiagos took over. The couple hosts a jazz band each week and, paying tribute to Danny’s heritage, a mariachi band comes in for special occasions.

Transitioning to restaurant ownership, the Santiagos have had to navigate a few bumps in the road, especially when it comes to hiring new employees.

“We are fortunate to have the staff we do,” Robyn said. “Their work ethic is beyond what most new employees have, so when we wanted to add employees when business increased, we found interviewing, training and keeping employees was the most challenging. I think the stories my husband has from hiring, training and losing staff are bookworthy.”

The success of the longstanding restaurant is something the Santiagos hope to replicate at a second Villaggio location. The new restaurant, which opened earlier this year at 20 Cedar St. in Dobbs Ferry, “was perfect for us,” Robyn said. “We decided we wanted to try (another location) and what better place than a river town like Dobbs Ferry.”

When both Robyn and Danny are present at Villaggio, they can usually be found greeting customers, often embracing them in bear hugs and inquiring about children or family members.

“Our customers are truly family to us,” Robyn said. “They come in to Villaggio expecting the meal to taste the same, their favorite items on the menu and the quality and service that Villaggio’s staff have delivered for almost 40 years. Why change a thing?”

Business diversity competition attracts 40,000 votes

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

A

national spotlight has been turned on diversity in the U.S., in its communities, government policies and business. For example, in his recent State of the State message, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said, “We are one of the states with the greatest diversity, we grew up with the diversity. We grew up in communities where everybody was an immigrant. You want to deport immigrants? Immigration is bad? Deport me. I’m an immigrant. I’m the son of Mario, I’m the grandson of Andrea.”

Diversity also was a theme in Michelle Obama’s final public speech as first lady on Jan. 6. “Our glorious diversity, our diversity as the faiths and colors and creeds, that is not a threat to who we are — it makes us who we are,” she said.

The subject even came up when former CIA Director William Brennan testified at a Senate hearing: “Diversity not only gives us the cultural understanding we need to operate in any corner of the globe, it also helps us avoid group think, ensuring we

bring to bear a range of perspectives on the complex challenges that are inherent to intelligence work.”

Internationally, the United Nations holds a world day for cultural diversity on May 21. Locally, diversity in business is being highlighted right now by the “Celebrating Diversity in Business” program produced by Westfair Communications Inc., in conjunction with Geneive Brown Metzger of ICA World. Westfair publishes the Westchester and Fairfield County Business Journals and WAG magazine.

Forty businesses people who are deeply committed to the principles and practices of diversity will be honored at an event on April 4 at 1133 Westchester Ave. in White Plains. The 40 businesses have been declared “Diversity Champions.”

Five are being selected as the “Final Five Champions.” Readers of Westfair’s publications submitted more than 40,000 votes to choose the final five. Voting took place from Dec. 19 through Feb. 13 on the Westfair website. The final five will be announced in the March 13 issues of the Business Journals.

Each of the “Diversity Champions” was nominated in one of the following categories: standard-bearer, most socially

conscious, most promising millennial, outstanding entrepreneur and visionary.

Westfair Publisher Dee DelBello said, “The response to this event was overwhelming. This tells us that people are thinking, wanting and praising diversity in the workplace. I suppose we will have true diversity when we don’t have to think, want and praise it. In the meantime, we will strive for it and showcase it where and when it occurs.

Our congratulations to all the champions and all of our journal readers and friends who participated in this effort.”

Brown Metzger of ICA World added, “The unprecedented number of persons who have voted is thrilling and noteworthy. I think it confirms that diversity is a very important aspect of our business culture.”

Greater Hudson Bank is one of two leadsponsors of the program. Anthony Pili, the bank’s vice president and director of strategic planning, said, “Greater Hudson Bank is a locally owned and growing community bank operating in the counties of Westchester, Rockland and Orange. We are proud to support the Celebrating Diversity in Business awards because we believe differences challenge assumptions and bring forth a variety of solutions to achieve a common goal.

Partnering with Westfair Communications for this inaugural event and honoring one of our very own ambassadors, Fannie Aleman, as a diversity champion, has been a great opportunity to showcase our biggest competitive advantage — our people.”

The other lead sponsor is Stamford Health. Sal Mancino, the director of human resources, commented, “Stamford Health is a growing hospital and health care system and is increasingly the regional center providing high-quality care for all. With more than 2,700 employees that reside in Connecticut and New York, we believe that embracing diversity ignites excellence and we are proud to support the Celebrating Diversity initiative, which recognizes workplaces committed to reflecting the community they serve.”

In addition to the lead sponsors, supporting diversity advocates include Arch Street Communications, Caribbean Food Delights, Pullman & Comley LLC and Skanska USA Building Inc. The April 4 evening event will open with The Marketplace featuring local vendors and businesses. For more information, call 914-358-0766 or go to westfaironline. com/celebratingdiversity.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Check out every angle before buying another business A colleague asked if I was interested in buying her company. My curiosity is piqued, but I’m not sure. She says she wants to keep working to help ensure a successful transition and to have income for the next few years. While I’d be open to doing an acquisition, I’m also worried: If she came to work for us what opportunity is there for her to make a living? My gut says she’s considering selling because she can’t make enough money on her own. I don’t want to solve her need for income and leave my company on the short end of the stick.

Suggestions?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Make sure you know what this business does for your company. Negotiate until you’re both clear as to the role the seller will play in your company.

Think about how easy or difficult it would be to take on the business. Can you make money by doing the deal?

What would your company gain by adding to its portfolio? More clients? A new business line? Technical skills?

Personnel? How is the industry doing overall — and is this a sector that you need to invest in, in order to grow?

It’s not all about revenue. Consider whether you want her clients. They need to be as or more profitable as compared with your current clients. They need to be easy and loyal enough to manage that you don’t spend all your profits on concessions and support just to hang onto them.

In a low unemployment economy, picking up personnel and technical skills can have a great deal of value. How skilled are the seller’s employees — do you want all of them or just a few gems? Reflect on your company’s culture — make sure any new personnel will fit in. Think about the personnel gaps in your company and nose around to see if her employees could shore things up.

How likely is it that her employees will stick around?

Once competitors find out the company is in play, employees will be getting calls. If you’re moving locations from the seller’s shop to yours, the commute could impact who stays or goes. What would pay be like at your company — more, less or the same as what her employees are making now?

Any increases to get to parity, whether it’s her employees or yours, will impact your bottom line.

Figure out the role you want the seller to play in your company and whether she’s doing that now in her own company. Keep in mind that if she can’t make enough to live on running her own shop, how will she make enough once she’s part of yours? Her best opportunity to make money will probably be in client-facing jobs: sales, account management, technical adviser. Functions such as accounting, production and even marketing need to be handled by less expensive personnel and blended in with roles already in existence in your company.

Do your homework. Find out everything you can about the seller’s business, the industry and the owner. Check out her work. Make a sales call on some of her better-known customers. Take a look at reputation and positioning on the internet. Go to a trade show for the industry to get informa-

tion on overall trends as well as to gather information on her company.

Figure out how you turn this opportunity into a moneymaker before you make an offer. Consider paying out over time, as a percentage of profit, if she’s open to it — probably her best shot at making money from the sale. Don’t be afraid to walk away if she makes deal-breaker requests.

SPECIAL REPORT

Insurers ask courts to block coverage in a Rockland case of teen suicide

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

T

wo insurance companies are asking courts to declare that they do not have to defend or indemnify parents whose sons have been accused of assaulting and harassing a teen who later committed suicide.

Metropolitan Property and Casualty Insurance Co. and Travelers Commercial Insurance Co. said their homeowners policies exclude coverage for injuries caused by criminal acts or intentional injuries.

The insurers want protection from a lawsuit concerning the death in September 2015 of James “Jimmy” Hauburger, 17, of Orangeburg. His mother, Noreen Hauburger, last July sued four minors and the parents of two of the minors in state Supreme Court in Rockland County. She claims that the minors, identified only by initials in court documents, assaulted Jimmy in July 2015, posted a video recording of the assault on Instagram and threatened him on social media.

The defendants denied the allegations.

Her son suffered pain, psychological and emotional anguish, posttraumatic stress syndrome, fear and ultimately death as a result of bullying, Hauburger alleges.

supervising them.

Hauburger is asking for unspecified damages for alleged battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

The Blomquists, Szwarcs, C.D. of Blauvelt and Z.C. of Tappan denied the allegations in court filings. C.D. also filed a counterclaim for malicious prosecution

Metropolitan Property and Casualty Insurance Co. and Travelers Commercial Insurance Co. said their homeowners policies exclude coverage for injuries caused by criminal acts or intentional injuries.

The lawsuit names the parents of J.B., Mark and Amy Blomquist, of Piermont, and says they had a duty to restrain their son because they knew he had a propensity for violence.

The alleged assault happened at the home of Michael and Anna Szwarc and their son, S.S., in Piermont. Hauburger claims that the Szwarcs, who since moved to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, provided alcohol to minors and were negligent in

and abuse of process. He states that he was wrongfully named in the lawsuit because he did not perpetrate any of the alleged conduct and does not appear in the video.

The lawsuit suggests that Jimmy was assaulted because J.B. believed Jimmy had informed on him to police. Amy Blomquist was present, it says, when police interviewed her son about an alleged retaliatory act in June 2015.

The following month, according to the

lawsuit, the Szwarcs hosted Jimmy and the four minors at their house and provided alcoholic beverages to the youths. The four minors became intoxicated, the lawsuit says, therefore the Szwarcs are liable for injuries caused by their underage guests.

The minors allegedly held Jimmy from behind and punched him in the abdomen.

In September 2015, they allegedly posted a video of the incident on Instagram.

J.B., according to the lawsuit, posted three Instagram comments: “Do I have to snuff you out a second time,” then, “You’ll see me and (Z.C.) in school tomorrow we’ll have you crying a second time,” and finally, “Bruh I don’t need back up neither does Z” and “there’s a video of you crying after I snuffed you with no help do I have to post it.”

Z.C. allegedly posted comments referring to cracking Jimmy’s jaw and calling him offensive names.

Metropolitan insured the Blomquists.

The company says the homeowners and excess policies exclude coverage for bodily injuries that result from criminal acts or abuses inflicted by people covered by the policies. Furthermore, suicide is not a personal injury or bodily injury as defined by the policies, according to the insurance company’s lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in White Plains on Feb. 8.

Travelers made a similar argument in a lawsuit filed in state Supreme Court in Rockland County on Feb. 10. The company insured the parents of C.D., David and Marybeth Dermody, of Blauvelt, for homeowners and umbrella coverage.

The insurance does not apply to an act which is expected or intended by an insured party to cause bodily injury, Travelers says.

Travelers agreed to retain counsel to defend C.D. But the insurer is asking the court to declare that it does not have to provide coverage in a settlement or judgment and that the Dermodys must reimburse the company for defending their son.

Last year, the Hauburger family set up the Jimmy Hauburger Memorial Foundation to support programs that increase awareness of bullying, emotional distress and teen suicide.

The nonprofit foundation is backing anti-cyberbullying legislation in the state Legislature and has started a scholarship to be given to a graduating senior at Tappan Zee High School who demonstrates kindness to others and to fellow students in need. Jimmy Hauburger was a senior at the school at the time of his death.

The foundation’s website, jimmyhauburgerfoundation.org, links to resources for parents, educators, teens and the community.

A bill, sponsored by Senate Insurance Committee Chairman James L. Seward and passed by a 55-5 vote in the Senate, provides the framework for ridesharing companies to expand their operations statewide.

“We are encouraged to see that the Senate and the governor are listening to the voices of New Yorkers over those of special interests and making ride sharing a priority. It is now time for the Assembly to do the same and ensure that upstate has what New York City and 47 other states have,” according to a statement from Uber.

Proponents of the bill said it would improve local economies and enable the creation of jobs.

“Ride sharing has the potential to be of

great benefit to the economic health of local communities,” state Sen. Terrence Murphy said in a statement. “Through the use of mobile phone apps, local transportation network companies like Uber and Lyft will be able respond to connect riders with transportation that matches their specific needs.”

Murphy added that these companies would provide an affordable transportation option to underserved areas, reduce the incidence of drunken driving and ease traffic congestion. Murphy did not respond to requests for additional comment.

The bill would alter insurance laws in New York state, which have complicated the passage of such legislation in the past, and allow ride-sharing companies to take out group policies for their drivers. The bill requires insurance coverage levels of $50,000 per person and $100,000 per incident when drivers are without passengers and at least $1 million of coverage while a ride-share vehicle is transporting a passenger. In New York, all drivers are required to have minimum coverage of $25,000 per

person and $50,000 per incident.

Cassandra Anderson, a spokeswoman for New York Insurance Association, said these liability coverage amounts are more appropriate than others that have been proposed in the past.

“The coverage amounts align with the national model that has been adopted in more than 30 states,” she said.

Insurance requirements played a part in the death of a Senate-passed ride-sharing bill in the Democrat-controlled Assembly in 2016. The Assembly’s bill required higher coverage for drivers: $100,000 per person and $300,000 per incident when the car is not being used for service and a $1.5 million policy when riders are in the car.

“It is essential that as this issue continues to be discussed that unreasonably high levels of liability coverage are not mandated,” New York Insurance Association President Ellen Melchionni said. “Excessive liability coverage will make it so these services cannot be offered at an affordable rate across the state.”

In the recently passed Senate bill, crimi-

nal and driving history background checks would also be required for all ride-sharing drivers, along with the adoption of nondiscrimination and zero-tolerance drug and alcohol policies.

However, the bill does not include language that would require fingerprint background check of drivers, something groups such as the Upstate Transportation Association have sought.

The bill also creates a task force that would identify and address barriers to and opportunities for greater access for New Yorkers of all abilities and includes drivers in workers’ compensation insurance offered through the existing Black Car Fund.

The Senate bill also differs from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s ride-sharing proposal included in his executive budget last month. While the $152 billion executive budget includes a 5.5 percent tax on rides that begin outside of New York City, the Senate’s measure cuts that tax to 2 percent and does not subject rides to the 4 percent state sales tax.

NYS: Some life insurance companies improperly denied claims

Obamacare — » From page 3

BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH during the open enrollment period that ended on Jan. 31, according to the state Health Department, an increase of about 26 percent from a year ago.

In closing remarks, Lowey gave a defense of the Affordable Care Act and expressed doubt that her Republican counterparts would provide a thorough replacement plan if the act was repealed.

“No one is saying the system is perfect,” Lowey said. “But it’s really quite extraordinary when you evaluate the impact of the Affordable Care Act in New York and the devastating consequences to New York.

To just repeal the Affordable Care Act without replacing it in a thoughtful way is outrageous, and, frankly, Republicans don’t have a substitute.”

A

letter circulated last month by the state Department of Financial Services is “reminding” life insurers of the conditions required to reject a life insurance claim, after the department investigated what it says were improper claim denials. An announcement from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s office says the letter will help shield low- and middle-income New Yorkers from unfair claim denials.

The announcement from the governor’s office stated that the Department of Financial Services action reminds life insurers that policyholders should not be required to furnish medical records and that insurers are required to make prompt payments to beneficiaries within the two-year period after a policyholder dies.

An investigation by the Department of Financial Services found that insurers, which it did not name, “contested numerous life insurance claims following the death of the insured during the two-year contestable period, in the absence of actual evidence of misrepresentation, and improperly have shifted the burden of proof to beneficiaries,” according to the circular letter.

The letter states that, under New York Insurance Law, an insurer may contest a life insurance claim made during the two-year contestable period only if the insurer establishes that there was a material misrepresentation on an application for life insurance.

The investigation found some insurers improperly attempted to shift the burden of proof regarding misrepresentation to beneficiaries by requiring them to produce the medical records of the covered policyholder. The letter points to a 1981 state Supreme Court ruling that found a beneficiary has “no legal obligation to cooperate with an insurer by providing the insurer with the deceased insured’s medical records.”

“Insurers are on notice of their obligations and that this administration has zero tolerance for those who seek to sidestep their responsibilities,” Cuomo said. “With this action, we are holding insurance companies accountable, helping to ensure beneficiaries receive what they are entitled to, and are working to create a more fair and more just New York for all.”

In the announcement, Cuomo’s office provided the following advice for policy holders: • A life insurer may only challenge a beneficiary’s claim for benefits on the basis of material misrepresentations on an application

for life insurance within a two-year contestable period from the policy’s date of issue. After the two-year contestable period, an insurer cannot claim material misrepresentation on an application as a basis for denying a beneficiary’s claim.

• Following the death of the insured during the two-year contestable period, when an insurer investigates potential misrepresentation on the application for insurance, beneficiaries may assist the insurer with its investigation and provide medical records, but they are not required to do so.

• If an insurer has actual evidence of a material misrepresentation, the insurer may obtain a rescission of the policy through a court action and return premiums to the covered policyholder’s estate. Alternatively, if the parties wish to avoid litigation, an insurer may reach a settlement providing for rescission with all beneficiaries who are fully informed of their rights to challenge the insurer’s claims in court.

• Although beneficiaries are not required by law to provide medical records of the deceased to the insurer, persons who obtain benefits under life insurance policies through fraud or misrepresentation on claims forms may be investigated and prosecuted for insurance fraud.

EVENING WITH PALMINTERI BENEFITS BEDFORD PLAYHOUSE

WLS WELCOMES NEW BOARD MEMBERS

Actor, author and director Chazz Palminteri, accompanied by his wife Gianna, appeared at a benefit for the Bedford Playhouse, currently being revitalized as a community arts and film center.

The evening was hosted by the Saw Mill Club, which operates health and fitness centers at two locations in Mount Kisco.

Although he has appeared in about 50 films, Palminteri is best known for “A Bronx Tale,” for which he wrote the screenplay. He starred in it with Robert DeNiro. Based on Palminteri’s life growing up in the Bronx, “A Bronx Tale” first was a one-man show that featured Palminteri, who turned it into a screenplay in 1993. The movie has been adapted

Two new members have joined the Westchester Library System (WLS) board of directors. Susan Morduch of Ardsley is the District VI representative covering Ardsley, Dobbs Ferry, Greenburgh, Hastings-on-Hudson and Irvington. Karen Zevin of Croton-on-Hudson is the District I representative covering Croton-on-Hudson, Montrose and Yorktown. Each will serve a five-year term.

Morduch is a licensed psychologist in private practice and at CHE Senior Psychological Services in Croton-on-Hudson, where she conducts psychotherapy sessions with geriatric residents and consults with professional staff. Previously she worked with the Ardsley Public Library for more than five years.

Zevin is a market researcher, analyst and project manager. Her nonprofit experience includes nine years as an elected school board trustee, leadership roles in regional school advocacy associations, treasurer of the Croton Free Library and involvement with the village of Croton financial sustainability committee.

“We are pleased to have these talented and experienced individuals join our board and look forward to their active participation,” said Terry Kirchner, Westchester Library System executive director. “Their diverse knowledge and extensive community engagement will bring new insight to the Westchester Library System.”

In addition, the WLS board re-elected the following officers for 2017: Catherine Draper of Pelham as president, Mary Amato of Yonkers as vice-president, Sean Ryan of Armonk as secretary and Edris Scherer of North Castle as treasurer.

for a stage musical currently running on Broadway.

In a venture outside of show business, Palminteri has opened an Italian restaurant in Manhattan.

The benefit raised more than $8,000 for the Bedford Playhouse and included contributions from Pour Wine Bar, Sette e Venti, Saw Mill Club Cafe by Myong Gourmet, Double Image Event Productions, Mad Shots Photography and Thomas Fox & Sons Catering.

The nonprofit Bedford Playhouse restoration group was founded by Bedford resident John Farr. In 2003, Farr led the turnaround of the Avon Theatre in Stamford into a center for classic and foreign films.

ARTSWESTCHESTER SPEARHEADS ARTS GROUPS FUNDRAISING PROGRAMS

Two programs coordinated by ArtsWestchester resulted in about $599,000 being awarded to a host of Westchester arts organizations this month.

On Feb. 8, ArtsWestchester hosted a reception at the Crowne Plaza in White Plains where it was announced that 47 arts organizations were receiving matching funds through the Art$WChallenge.

The organizations raised $342,982 in new funds on their own during 2016 and will receive an additional $200,978 in matching grants. The matching fund effort is supported by Westchester County. County Executive Robert P. Astorino and Board of Legislators Chairman Michael Kaplowitz were among those on hand as ArtsWestchester CEO Janet T. Langsam lavished praise on the county for its continued support of the arts.

In the 10 years since it began, the Art$WChallenge has resulted in $4,006,555 being raised for Westchester cultural organizations, with $2,540,440 by the groups themselves and the rest in matching funds.

“The county is pleased to partner with ArtsWestchester and the private sector on this important program; it is our way of being creative. As

we’ve learned over time, this approach helps Westchester maintain its reputation as a place where people want to live, work and play,” Astorino said.

Kaplowitz said the funding “is a much-needed investment in our community and I am proud to stand with you all today.”

Another program, Arts Alive, has resulted in 25 organizations and four individual artists benefiting from $55,440 in grants administered by ArtsWestchester. A breakfast at which the grants were announced was held on Feb. 3 at ArtsWestchester’s building at 31 Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains. Among the elected officials attending the breakfast were White Plains Mayor Tom Roach, Assemblyman David Buchwald and State Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins.

The money for the Arts Alive grants comes from the New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization Program. ArtsWestchester administers the funds, supporting community-based cultural activities throughout the county, as well as the creation of new works by Westchester artists.

“We are thankful to Governor Cuomo for providing funding to support the arts in our county,”

SIDELY NAMED A TOP ADVISOR

Langsam told the audience. “Without these grants, many of the art events that our community enjoys would not be possible. These events will add to the economic impact in the neighborhoods where we love to live, work and play.”

Among the projects funded by the grants are an Asian American Heritage Festival at the Kensico Dam Plaza in June, writing workshops for students to be held at Greenburgh Town Hall, free concerts at the Asbury Methodist Church in Tuckahoe featuring the West Point band and New York City Children’s Chorus and Baroque music concerts in Peekskill and New Rochelle.

Arts Alive grants are awarded in three categories: project grants providing Westchesterbased organizations and artists with financial and technical support for projects at the grassroots level; artist grants supporting works that relate to the community in a significant way, and arts-in-education which brings art and artists into schools. The grant recipients are chosen through a competitive process that includes review by a panel of community members and arts professionals.

NEW ART AT THE NEUBERGER

T

he Neuberger Museum of Art in Purchase welcomed more than 200 guests to a reception on Feb. 4 marking the opening of the exhibition “Leandro Erlich: Port of Reflections.” The 43-year-old Erlich, a native of Argentina, was recipient of the 2017 Roy R. Neuberger Exhibition Prize.

Neuberger, founding patron of the museum, initially funded the prize. It continues to be supported by his son Jim Neuberger and Jim’s wife, Helen Stambler Neuberger.

The exhibition includes mixed media installations in which colorful rowboats appear to float and gently rock as their reflections shimmer in the waters beneath.

But there is no water and there are no reflections. The boats are suspended in midair and motors create a rocking motion.

This is the installation’s premier showing in the U.S. Earlier versions appeared at museums in Korea and Argentina.

“Leandro Erlich: Port of Reflections” will be at the Neuberger through July 30. Photos by Lynda Curtis.
