Blockbuster deal GINSBURG, ROBERT MARTIN CO. TEAM UP FOR MAJOR REDEVELOPMENT IN WHITE PLAINS BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com
I
n what developer Martin Ginsburg described as a “legacy project,” his firm announced that it will lead a major redevelopment of two of downtown White Plains most prominent office buildings.
The Elmsford developer’s company, Ginsburg Development Cos., said on April 11 that it has teamed with Robert Martin Co. on an $83 million deal to acquire Westchester Financial Center, two office buildings comprising about 570,000 square feet on Main Street and Martine Avenue.
Ginsburg said he will use the properties, along with an apartment building on the same block he bought last year, to create a new “City Square” with apartments, green space, restaurants, retail and renovated offices near the city’s train station. “This offers a tremendous opportunity,”
Ginsburg told the Business Journal in a phone interview following the company’s announcement. “This is the key gateway location to White Plains.” The deal includes 50 Main St., a 15-story, 309,000-square-foot office tower and 1-11 Martine Ave., a 14-story, 262,000-squarefoot office building. Both

Street and South Lexington Avenue. Ginsburg’s development team plans to take advantage of that full block to create the City Square concept. “What we’re talking about is creating a much more diverse, today type development,” Ginsburg said. “So combining apart-

Pound Ridge resident takes humane approach to raising chickens MAIN OFFICE TELEPHONE 914-694-3600 OFFICE FAX 914-694-3699 EDITORIAL EMAIL bobr@westfairinc.com WRITE TO 3 Westchester Park Drive, Suite G7 White Plains, N.Y. 10604-3407

he diverse shades of eggs sold by Pound Ridge Organics — a bright mix of beige, olive green, blue and pink — don’t just make for a pretty picture. They’re the product of a philosophy of raising and caring for rare breeds of chickens that has made the farm the first in Westchester County to be certified humane. The farm and co-op, started in 2012 by Donna Simons, is recognized for its commitment to ethical and environmental standards for its animals and is both Animal Welfare Approved and Certified Humane by the two eponymous nonprofits. Pound Ridge Organics has also been recognized by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, received the Slow Food “Snail of Approval” and is “A” rated by the consumer group BuyingPoultry. com. From an 18th century Pound Ridge homestead near the state line in Scotts Corners, Simons grows herbs, taps maples, keeps honeybees, bakes goods and creates jams and preserves. But the farm may be best known for its heritage breed chickens, usually about 50 in total (plus one duck), that produce eggs. The heritage title is given to breeds of chicken that are rare or even endangered — some of which trace their lineage back more than 200 years. Unlike industrial chickens designed to grow and produce quickly, the birds come in all shapes and sizes. “These birds are lean; they’re spry, thin and tall,” Simons said. “Not all of them, some are even really huge. I have a Jersey Giant you would think is a turkey, she is so big.” Simons feeds the birds a healthy diet that includes locally sourced feed and fruit and vegetables. They’re also allowed to forage for their own grub — ticks, bugs, worms, frogs, even snakes and mice. The nutrient-heavy diet helps produce a richer yolk in the eggs. The chickens are not slaughtered when they stop laying eggs, allowing them to live a full life and raise younger birds. Pound Ridge Organics also includes a small hatchery. Chicks hatched on the farm are hand-de-

livered to farmers, allowing them to keep heritage birds without subjecting them to the stressful and sometime fatal shipping process. The co-op business has grown to include hundreds of customers mostly in Westchester and Fairfield counties. Simons describes herself as a “clean authentic food curator,” as her co-op draws produce and other products from farms that she ensures follow the same environmental and welfare standards. Through her farm and working with local farmers, Simons’ co-op offers a range of products including Pound Ridge Organics label jams, maple syrup and honey, organic produce, local cheese and dairy products, breads and baked goods and high welfare, certified organic meats.

Why did you decide to pursue the humane certifications?
“High welfare buzz words have been used to manipulate consumers to believe that the food they are buying meets certain perceived standards. When you research the actual legal definitions of many of these terms, you find that the actual standards are far beneath your expectations. Some claims are actually inhumane such as ‘fed a vegetarian diet,’ while others make claims that make no sense at all like ‘natural.’ Additionally without audits and accountability, producers can claim anything they want, until of course they get caught. Animal Welfare Approved standards are in alignment with my husbandry practices and I am happy to go through the effort to continually verify that through the audit process.”
What did your farm need to do to become certified humane?
“It requires an annual audit, which includes a
farm visit every 11 months, review of records, showing the auditor feed and supplements and copies of labels, sharing health records and egg laying records, etc. “I always enjoy the audits. They enable me to chat about my birds (without being perceived as a Crazy Chicken Lady).”
Where can people buy your products?
“Right here at the farm market in our carriage house. The co-op initiation fee is only $50, which provides access to our meticulously curated local food; delicious seasonally based recipes; tasting and first dibs on our events. The public is welcome to come on co-op pick up day to shop for any surplus. We suggest calling ahead since the schedule changes due to factors beyond our control (like nor’easters). We plan to expand our hours of operation – so stay connected with us.” For more, visit facebook.com/ PoundRidgeOrganics.

Housing sales slip in region, but future ‘bright’ cent from the previous year to 31. Rockland County experienced the largest decrease in residential sales in the region with a drop of 13.7 percent to 522 sales. The county’s single-family home sales fell 18.9 percent to 360, while median home price rose 2.4 percent to $435,000. In Orange County, sales of a single-family residence dropped 0.5 percent, while single-family home sale prices rose to a median of $240,000, a 4.3 percent increase from the previous year. “The median sale price of a single-family home in Orange County at the end of the first quarter of 2009 was $310,000, which likely explains why Orange County is now experiencing some of the larger percentage gains in price,” analysts said.

ousing sales in the lower Hudson Valley were flat to slightly lower on the year for the first quarter of 2018, according to market analysts at the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors. There were 3,595 residential sales of single-family houses, condominiums, cooperatives and two- to four-family buildings in Westchester, Putnam, Rockland and Orange counties during the quarter, marking a roughly 3 percent decrease compared with the same period last year. Analysts noted that first-quarter sales were largely the result of transactions negotiated during the final quarter of 2017, a time that analysts called “a period of uncertainty” given the active negotiations of the Federal Tax Reform bill. “This uncertainty could be a contributing factor, along with low inventory, to the flat sales numbers in most of the region in the first quarter,” analysts stated in their quarterly report. “Another possible dark cloud on the horizon is an increasingly volatile stock market.” However, analysts found that with mortgage rates remaining attractive, unemployment low and economic development activity high in the region, “the prospects for another healthy year for real estate sales in the region remain bright.” Prices continued to strengthen in all four counties across the region, while the days on market was down, “a clear indication that the continuing erosion in inventories is negatively affecting sales activity while putting upward pressure on prices,” analysts said. Inventory of single-family residences was down 7.3 percent in Westchester, 12 percent in Rockland, 21.5 percent in Putnam and 17.1 percent in Orange County compared with the first quarter of 2017. In Westchester, the median sale price for a single-family residence in Westchester rose to $613,250 from $600,000 in the first quarter of 2017. The county also saw an overall drop of 2.3 percent in residential sales to 1,892, while sales of single-family homes posted a decrease of 5.6 percent to 1,034 during the first quarter of 2017. Co-op sales, meanwhile, continued to be resilient and saw an increase of 1.1 percent to 452 for the quarter. Putnam was the only county to post an overall increase in residential sales. The figure rose 7.2 percent year-over-year to 268. The county also saw the largest percentage increase in price at 9.4 percent for a single-family home. The county’s median home price rose to $323,750 from $296,000 for the first quarter of 2017. Condominium sales in Putnam, meanwhile, fell 11.4 per-

TO THE
EDITOR:
I
read with interest that our new County Executive has appointed new members to the County Planning Board (Westchester Business Journal 3/19/2018). The article quotes the county executive as saying these appointments will make the county planning board “a more effective regional resource for planning.” I hope that’s true, but I doubt it; history shows that “new blood” alone rarely, if ever, has a meaningful impact taming development. If the new administration is serious about protecting our natural resources and quality of life (and time will tell), let’s look deeper and try something new! Admittedly, meaningful “regional” planning suffers many constraints, but one impediment here, in Westchester, stands out: a quirk in the Westchester County Administrative Code deprives our Westchester County planning board of the authority enjoyed by most all other county planning agencies in the state. Although New York state law requires a few, specific local planning

and zoning actions be referred to the county planning agency for review and recommendation, the “recommendation” generated by the Westchester County Planning Board carries virtually no weight, none. In contrast, a recommendation to modify or disapprove a proposal made by most other county planning boards requires the locality act under heightened standard of review. Specifically, outside Westchester County a local government can only “act contrary” to a recommendation of its county planning agency “by a vote of a majority plus one.” This standard does not apply in Westchester. Forcing a heightened standard of review strikes a judicious balance between central planning and local autonomy. Past development fiascos teach that quality of life enjoyed by most of Westchester is under severe threat by hodgepodge/”crazy quilt” zoning and land use regulations and highly fractionalized, local decision making. So, my advice: Let’s look deeper and try something new. Frederick W. Turner Turner is an attorney with the law firm Turner & Turner in White Plains.

Ex-orthopedic surgeon Spyros Panos accused of health care fraud again BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com
E
ven after unlicensed orthopedic surgeon Spyros Panos admitted in 2013 to committing health care fraud, federal authorities allege, he was setting up a new scheme. And even after he pleaded for a lenient prison sentence in 2014, asking the court for an opportunity to redeem himself, the authorities say, he was cashing in on the scheme. And even after he was released from prison in 2016, the authorities claim, he continued the fraud. On April 10, Panos, 49, was arrested at his home in Hopewell Junction in Dutchess County. He was taken before U.S. Magistrate Judge Paul E. Davison in federal court in White Plains, where he was accused of health care fraud, wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in a workers’ compensation scam. Panos’ conduct first came under scrutiny in 2010, when another orthopedic surgeon noticed discrepancies in patient medical records. He was reported to the New York state Office of Professional Medical Conduct. He was routinely seeing 60 patients and performing as many as 20 surgeries a day at the Mid-Hudson Medical Group. The medical practice submitted more than $35 million in health care claims for his work and received $13 million in payments, from 2006 to 2011. Panos received more than $7.5 million in compensation, from 2007 to 2011. State and federal investigators discovered bills for procedures that Panos did not perform and inflated bills for procedures that were falsely described. He was collecting higher payments than warranted from Medicare, Medicaid, the New York State Insurance Fund and private health insurance companies. His medical license was revoked, and in 2013 he pleaded guilty to health care fraud. Six weeks later, as Panos was awaiting sentencing, Excel O LLC was formed by a family member who is not identified in the criminal complaint, at an address in Brooklyn. The family member then opened an Excel bank account at the Hudson Valley Federal Credit Union. Excel, according to the state Division of Corporations, was registered by Manuel Freitas. In 1999, Panos married Maria Freitas, daughter of Manuel Freitas, a Park Avenue doorman. In February 2014, Panos submitted a five-page letter to U.S. District Judge Nelson S. Roman in which he took full responsibility for his crimes. He had falsified billing records out of greed and insecurity, he said, and because Mid-Hudson Medical Group was in a desper-
ate financial situation. “I have learned from my mistakes and I am a changed man,” he told the judge. “I have been atoning for my sin for the past three years and will continue to do so for the rest of my life.” Panos was sentenced to 54 months in prison and began serving his term in April 2014. By then, the criminal complaint states, workers’ compensation companies were
sending checks to Excel in Brooklyn. A total of $239,000 was deposited in the credit union account, up to three months after Panos was imprisoned. The payments were for peer review reports that are done when physicians want a variance in treatment, under workers’ compensation. A report must be done by an independent, licensed doctor who reviews a patient’s file and writes an opinion on whether the variance is appropriate.
Peer reviews are often arranged by companies that assign the work to doctors who have established their credentials. Several peer review companies used Excel’s doctor. That doctor, who is not named in the criminal complaint, had once worked with Panos and now has a practice in Westchester County. But the doctor never submitted credentials to the peer review companies, did no peer reviews for Excel, did not authorize

tion later this spring on the 52,500-square-foot brewery. Asahi Shuzo will build at the former site of a Stop & Shop on the corner of St. Andrews Road and Route 9. The brewery will produce 332,000 gallons of sake each year, with a tasting room, retail space and public tours. The company and CIA officials described a plan that will bring not only one of Japan’s best-known sake brands to the region, but also Japanese culture and traditions. The architecture team – a collaboration of a Japanese and an American firm – plans to populate the site with cherry blossom trees and remove some of the parking lot to make the site more natural for outdoor gatherings. Asahi Shuzo traces its roots back 250 years ago in Yamaguchi in western Japan, though it became officially organized as a company in the 20th century. The brewery has stayed in the Sakurai family that entire time, as Asahi Shuzo’s

ments, living and working in the same environment and creating pedestrian-friendly streets in the heart of the downtown.” Under the plans disclosed by Ginsburg, 1-11 Martine Ave. would be converted into a mix of luxury residential apartments and office space, each with separate lobbies and elevator banks. The offices at 50 Main St. will remain, but the building will be renovated with an amenity floor having a fitness center, yoga studio, game room, lounge and business center. The building would also add indoor and outdoor dining. Its lobby would be completely renovated and extended, adding art and sculpture displays, according to Ginsburg. All three buildings

third-generation owner and Chairman Hiroshi Sakurai explained. “We’re very excited to build on that history and traditions of making sake and bring an excellent sake brewery here to Hyde Park,” Sakurai said through a translator. Sakurai said what sets the company apart is a focus only on the highest quality type of sake, known as Junmai Daiginjo. Its Dassai brand is produced from a single brewery in Yamaguchi using a variety of rice called Yamada Nishiki, described as the king of sake rice. When Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited the White House in 2015 for a state dinner, media accounts said he and President Barack Obama toasted with Asahi Shuzo’s Dassai 23. The mix of media from both U.S. and Japanese outlets made the significance of the company’s move clear. Scanning the packed reception room, Sakurai already appeared satisfied with the decision. “Very excited to hear from so many future customers of ours,” Sakurai said with
a smile. “We’re really not worried about sales anymore.” The move marks not only the first U.S. brewery for Asahi Shuzo, but also the first time a major sake producer from Japan will set down roots on the East Coast. Kazuhiro Sakurai, the company’s president and fourth-generation owner, noted that several Japanese sake producers have already made the jump to the United States. But they’ve all focused their efforts on the West Coast, where there’s easier access to high-quality rice in California. In coming to New York, Asahi Shuzo can differentiate itself as the first Japanese sake brewery close to New York City, the younger Sakurai explained through a translator. For the Culinary Institute of America, the partnership offers a chance to collaborate with an international beverage producer on curriculum, workshops, certification programs and special events. The CIA offers a bachelor’s-level course in Japanese cuisine, which college President Tim
Ryan said will be expanded to a full academic concentration. Ryan said Asahi Shuzo is known worldwide as the top sake company in the country. “As people are exposed to high-quality sake in the right manner, it is going to take off,” Ryan said. “There is tremendous, tremendous growth potential.” This is not the first time the culinary has teamed up with a big-name brewer. In 2015, the school opened The Brewery at the CIA, an educational facility it created in partnership with Brooklyn Brewery. The Asahi Shuzo brewery is designed by Jun Mitsui & Associates Architects of Tokyo and Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects of New Haven. The two firms have worked together on projects in Japan for 30 years, but said that this is their first joint project in the United States. The sake produced in Hyde Park will be branded under a different name, but will “honor Dassai in a familiar way,” as described in materials from Asahi Shuzo. The project will receive
would be linked by a 2-acre central court with a quarter-mile “walk-around” guiding pedestrians through landscaped areas, a water fountain, sculptures and an outdoor lounge and sun deck. “We have an internal central park that really is a unique asset,” Ginsburg said. “We are going to be redoing that and making it really a major amenity.” The three buildings share a block adjacent to the White Plains MetroNorth train station, an area the city is targeting for mixed-use development as part of a vision for a transit district it unveiled in late 2016. The train station itself is undergoing a $94 million renovation expected to take three years. The three-building Westchester Financial Center complex was built in the mid-1980s by Robert Martin Co. The company sold the buildings in 1997 to
Cali Realty Corp. as part of a $440 million deal in which Cali took over 65 properties from Robert Martin totaling almost 5 million square feet. Cali Realty Corp. became Mack-Cali a year later though a billion-dollar merger with fellow New Jersey firm Mack Co. The 1-11 Martine Ave. building originally included five condominium floors owned by Pace University it used for its Lubin Graduate School. Pace sold its part of the property to Mack-Cali in 2016 for $10.75 million. Ginsburg said plans are still being finalized, so exact details on the number of apartments and square footage for retail and office space aren’t set just yet. Neither is an exact timeline for its review and construction, but Ginsburg said his hope is “as soon as possible.” Some work, such as updates to the office portion of the property, the
company can start on whenever plans are in place. The larger retail and residential conversion work will require city review. The development team has already met with city officials for preliminary discussions of the project, but has not submitted any official plans, a city spokesperson said. The properties are in a district already zoned to allow residential and commercial uses, so city officials said the project would only require site plan approval from the Common Council. Mayor Thomas Roach provided a quote in support of the project through a press release distributed by Ginsburg Development. “Projects such as City Square align with the goals of the White Plains Transit District Strategic Plan,” the mayor said, “including activating the street with retail and restaurants, new residential units, improved

up to $588,000 in Excelsior tax credits through the state’s economic development arm, Empire State Development. Dutchess County Executive Marcus Molinaro welcomed Asahi Shuzo to what he called the “epicenter of the food and beverage industry.” Both Molinaro and Hyde Park Supervisor Aileen Rohr praised the brewery’s location as a way to bring life to an abandoned site and better connect the town to the culinary institute. Rohr said the adaptive reuse of the property has the
town “thrilled to see it will become a vibrant center for Japanese culture and for the food and beverage industry.” While Asahi Shuzo will bring some employees over from Japan, the company is planning to hire at least 32 locally. One of those employees making the trip to the United States is the company’s chairman himself. Hiroshi Sakurai said he’ll be living in Hyde Park to oversee the operation until “the sake is at the level he wants it to be.” He said he looks forward to meeting his new neighbors.
pedestrian experience, placemaking and proximity to mass transit.” Ginsburg said he believes he and the city are “playing the same tune” with a focus on bringing life to the site and downtown. “We have what is potentially going to be a for real mix of live and work with the iconic offices and bringing everything 100 percent up to date with amenities, restaurants, streetscaping,” Ginsburg said. “All the goodies that are on everybody’s
wish list.” This type of pedestrian-friendly and transit-oriented development project is one Ginsburg said his firm specializes in. And for this one, he is dreaming big. “I’m not looking at this project just to do it,” Ginsburg said. “I’m looking at this as a legacy project. It’s iconic architecture in the commercial center of Westchester. I don’t want to do anything less than A-plus work.”
Children’s association lawsuit against Lanza foundation dismissed
COURT BY BILL HELTZEL
A lawsuit by the Westchester Children’s Association demanding $500,000 from the Lanza Family Foundation has been dismissed. Former foundation leader, the noted philanthropist Patricia Lanza, had proposed a $500,000 matching challenge grant with the children’s association in 2013. When she died in 2014, the association was in the midst of matching the pledge and eventually reached the goal of $500,000. Despite the agreement with Patricia Lanza, WCA failed to establish that the foundation or her estate was on the hook for the grant, Westchester Supreme Court Justice Lewis J. Lubell ruled on March 22, in granting a motion to dismiss the complaint. WCA has not yet decided whether to appeal the ruling, attorney Robert Corke said. Patricia and Frank Lanza started the foundation in 1996 and it has given away
TD Bank sued for a buck, over paperwork A TD Bank customer in Orange County has sued the financial institution over a $1 fee. The Cherry Hill, New Jersey-based bank allows checking account customers to avoid paying $1 a month for paper statements by switching to online-only statements. “Going paperless,” TD says, “is convenient, safe and green.” And illegal, when forced on customers by threat of a fine, John Melackrinos claims. He filed a class action complaint in federal court in White Plains on April 6, claiming that more than 5 million $1 fees have been charged illegally to customers who get paper billing statements.
TD spokesman Matthew Doherty responded that the bank does not comment on litigation. Melackrinos, of Chester, has had a TD checking account since 2010 and has been charged $1 a month for paper statements since 2015. He said a state law enacted in 2011 bars businesses from charging consumers an additional rate or fee on accounts when they choose to receive paper statements. Such fees are unfair to people who do not have access to the internet, according to a legislative memorandum cited in the complaint, or who are uncomfortable with using the internet out of concern for privacy. Low-income customers are affected dis-

proportionately, because they are less likely to have internet access. Violations are deemed deceptive acts according to the state’s rules, Melackrinos claims. The legislative memo also describes a possible fix. Businesses may offer a credit or incentive to consumers to elect a specific billing option. What constitutes an incentive, versus an additional fee, is not explained. Melackrinos’ attorney, Philip L. Fraietta of Bursor & Fisher in Manhattan, wants the court to stop TD from charging a fee for paper statements. He is demanding compensation for Melackrinos and other TD customers in New York for actual damages or $50, whichever is greater.
millions of dollars to organizations around the world. In recent years it has focused on Westchester County, particularly organizations that support children, women and religious causes. After Frank Lanza died in 2006, Patricia Lanza poured money into the foundation. She also gave away or pledged millions of dollars personally, often, according to recipients, with a handshake and no formal agreement. The foundation is now directed by her sons, Anthony, Louis and James. It has curtailed donations under their leadership, Louis said in an interview last year, while they sort out “an accounting nightmare.” The children’s association claimed in its lawsuit that it had met the conditions of the 2013 gift agreement but Louis refused to honor the deal. The agreement required the association to raise $500,000 by the end of 2014, for instance, and main-
tain its federal tax-exempt status. But the deal was signed by Patricia Lanza individually, Lubell ruled, and there are no references to the Lanza Family Foundation. The agreement also states that it is not binding on Patricia Lanza’s estate. The documentary evidence, the judge said, utterly refutes the children’s association’s allegations. The foundation has stopped supporting several local charities; and several organizations that had received personal checks from Patricia Lanza no longer benefit from her generosity. In her last year or so, Louis Lanza said recently, his mother had realized that some organizations had not produced the expected results and people had taken advantage of her. “We’re cutting some of those folks off,” he said. “They’re not the real deal.”

ASK ANDI By Andi Gray
Get your business plan down on paper I’M FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE THINGS FROM IN MY HEAD TO GETTING IT DOWN ON PAPER. I HEAR LOTS OF MY BUSINESS FRIENDS SAY THEY, TOO, HAVE PLANS FOR THEIR BUSINESSES, BUT IT’S ALL IN THEIR HEADS, NOT WRITTEN DOWN. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON WHY THAT IS AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: If you don’t have a written business plan, you’re not alone. Stats show you get higher results. Follow some simple “How To’s” to get started.
If you don’t have a written business plan, you’re not alone.
Most surveys of privately held businesses indicate that 60 to 90 percent of business owners lack a formal,
detailed, written business plan. When asking business owners why they don’t have a written plan, we get lots of answers, including: • Who knows what the future may hold? • We might not be right. • A plan would make us less nimble. • Might not like what we see. • I’m too busy.
• I don’t know how to write a useful plan. • Plans are for startups — we’re up and running and know what we’re doing.
Stats show you get higher results.
If those significant obstacles stand in the way for so many, why bother swimming against the tide by focusing on creating a plan? Simple answer. Companies with plans achieve more. Laying out what’s expected and logical ways of getting there gives your brain a chance to work on the details. Having written plans also makes it easier for people to follow your lead, spot problems and contribute productive solutions. And who wouldn’t want to be able to spot trouble before having to live out the negative consequences in real life? It’s frustrating saying you plan to accomplish things and then not getting there. And most busi-
ness owners experience more than their fair share of frustration. Why pile on more? Instead, use a written plan to stay on point and to examine what’s working and what’s not. Written plans can also become a challenge for everyone to step up and strive to accomplish more. When it comes time to sell the business, demonstrating success with written goals makes the business more saleable. Buyers want predictability. Showing how year after year the company plans and then successfully executes, adjusting plans when needed to stay on track, makes the business significantly more attractive to quality buyers.
Follow some simple “How To’s” to get started.
Ready to try your hand at planning? Make notes on what you’d like the business to achieve. Be realistic — jumping from $1 million of revenue to $100 million is probably too big a leap; take it in smaller, more manage-
able chunks — doubling in size, for example. Ask other people in the company to help you with the planning process. Assign someone the task of taking and writing up notes to circulate. Work in drafts. Encourage debate. Select goals and write out milestones and action steps to walk the company through from where you are today to where you want to be. Ask everyone to agree to back the written plan, even if it wasn’t their original idea. Give out assignments and due dates. Check regularly on progress, shifting around resources to help areas that seem stuck or behind. Check on future actions and dates to see what might get thrown off. Periodically weed through and let go of things that no longer seem applicable. Still lost on how to get your plan on paper? Hire an outsider to facilitate the process. Look for someone with a great planning process,
a track record of helping companies like yours build and implement plans and success stories about companies that are significantly further along after planning than they were before they started. Looking for a good book? Try “Business Plan: The Right Way To Create A Winning Business Plan (Essential Tools and Techniques For a Winning Business Plan & Strategies for Proper Start Up and Project Management Guide Book 1)” by Susan Hollister. Andi Gray is president of Strate�y Leaders Inc., Strate�yLeaders.com, a business-consulting �irm that teaches companies how to double revenue and triple pro�its in repetitive growth cycles.

Panos to use his name and received no compensation for the reviews. In 2016, Panos was released to a halfway house, having served half of his term, and then to home confinement. A new Excel account was opened at the credit union in December 2016 by a Panos family member. Investigators traced email messages between the peer review companies and the Excel doctor to internet addresses assigned to Panos’ home. Five companies sent $636,500 in checks to Excel in Brooklyn from December 2016 to October 2017. Checks were deposited in Excel’s credit union account. Funds were then withdrawn and deposited in a family account at the credit union. In one instance, $100,000 was transferred to bank accounts in Hong Kong. Surveillance videos, the complaint states, show Panos and a family member at the credit union transferring money to the family account. Panos had managed to get $860,000 in peer review payments, before and after his imprisonment, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said in a statement, by assuming the identity of a licensed orthopedic surgeon. In 2014, Panos had expressed great remorse for his wrongdoing. “I hope and pray that I can be afforded an opportunity to redeem myself,” he said in his letter to Roman, “and continue to work toward regaining the trust of my family, friends and community. “I look forward to continuing to work on becoming a law abiding and productive member of society and the community in which I live.”

Special Report
At Stone Barns, education is key for the future of food BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

f you ask Jill Isenbarger, CEO of Stone Barns Center, she’ll tell you that our food system is in trouble. “We’ve moved away from strong relationships with farms and farmers and let the food system become dominated by industrial-scale interests, so we have lost touch with those who care for soil and can help us choose the foods that are good for us and the environment,” Isenbarger said. “It’s going to take a broad set of global citizens to really drive change in the food system over the next 50 years.” For Isenbarger, that change will start with one specific group of people. “There is no more important group to engage with than high schoolers,” she said. “The more people we have who are excited about this topic, the better we are.” To help engage those students, the farm and education center has launched a High School Summer Institute, an immersive, food-focused educational program held on its 80-acre farm in Pocantico Hills. This two-week course for high school juniors and seniors aims to transform students into “food citizens” through explorations of the farm, cooking labs and discussions. “In the beginning of the course, we get students to think deeply about the fact that food is one of the building blocks of our culture and one of binding elements of our society,” she said. “They come to those conclusions and are able to unearth those ideas on their own through conversation.” During the course, students explore a variety of topics, from food culture to food and the environment.
Other topics include the “good food movement” and sustainable farming practices, like beekeeping or management of the food waste stream. “We really break the challenges of the food system down into kind of individual stories,” she said. Now in its second year, the program stems from the organization’s work with area schools. Stone Barns officials began teaching semester-long courses at schools in New York City four years ago, classes that aimed to “get students thinking about food.” As the curriculum for those courses developed, the organization began exploring a new idea. Instead of bringing certain aspects of the farm to the students, they aimed to bring the students to the farm. “The camp creates an even deeper emotional connection that’s harder to create in a classroom,” Isenbarger said. “It gives you a week where every day, you’re directly connecting what’s in the soil to what’s on your plate.” For example, students could spend a morning outside harvesting vegetables that would later be used to create a healthy meal for their lunches. “Just being able to make that direct connection is really invaluable to the way we think about the how the choices of what we eat have an impact. There’s no replacement to seeing that in real life.” Along with educating students about their food, the courses also aim to connect students with those who grow it. “They get to interact with the farmers in a very intense way,” Isenbarger said. “It’s important they have that human connection, that recognition of how hard someone works to grow your food

and how skilled they are and all the different kinds of knowledge they need to do that successfully.” Students come to the program from a range of backgrounds and with an array of interests. Some hope to work in agriculture or a related field, others hope to embark on a career in the restaurant industry. Others are particularly interested in environmental conservation or other social issues. “One of the things I really love about them is they’re not passive environmental-

ists,” she said. “They might be less inclined to join the Sierra Club, but they really want to put their hands in the dirt.” Most of the students who attend the program are from Westchester, though some travel to the farm from New York City. “There is no such thing as our ideal student,” she said. “We want a real cross-section. Fixing the food system is going to take professionals from all kinds of disciplines.” High schoolers are the
perfect age for this program, Isenbarger said, because they’re just on the cusp of adulthood. “They’re making their own choices,” she said. “They’re going to become global citizens who care about a variety of issues, and we want food to be one of those issues.” The institute will run two weekday sessions this summer, with prices ranging from $1,357 for members of Stone Barns to $1,675 for nonmembers.

who qualify for free or reduced-price school lunch. “We want the classes to be accessible to everyone, to anyone who is excited and enthusiastic and willing to do the work and participate,” she said. Isenbarger said there is “definitely a demand” for courses like the ones Stone Barns offers. “I think it’s fair to say that there’s a greater awareness and more savviness among students about food,” she said. “And there are kids who think it’s cool.”

Pace opens expanded university health care center in Pleasantville BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com
P
ace University made history in 1978 when it opened the first-ever nurse-managed medical facility on the campus of a U.S. college. Forty years later, the school celebrated the anniversary and renewed its commitment to the program with the completion of a new and expanded health care center. Pace held a ribbon cutting on April 5 for the new 2,000-square-foot health center space inside the Paton House, which also hosts Pace’s career services office. The health care center features four patient exam rooms, a procedure room and lab. It

also has a larger reception area than the previous location, which was in the college’s Goldstein Fitness Center. About 1,700 patients — a mix that is mostly students but also includes staff, faculty and even alumni — are treated by the school’s health center annually. With that number growing, Pace College of Health Professions Dean Harriet R. Feldman, said it was time to expand. “We needed a lot more space because we were seeing a lot more students,” Feldman said. “This space is about three times the size of what we had before, and we’re already starting to see more students show up at the door.” The previous location had also become a bit too noisy for a health care facility, she said. Renovations to the fitness center last year placed a weight room directly above the health center, requiring staff to work through barbell-induced thuds. The new location puts the health center near three residence halls. “It’s easy access for the students,” Feldman said. “They don’t have to go down the hall and through the gym. They’re right next door.” The health center is staffed by three nurses, including two nurse practitioners who receive assistance primarily from student employees. The staff can treat most common illnesses, prescribe or refill medications, order lab and radiology tests and refer students to specialty care. “It’s pretty much all of your primary care services,” Feldman said. The health center also acts as a clinical setting for nursing students in the Pace College of Health Professions. Feldman said students typically have insurance through family plans or through the school. The university opened the health center as part of its celebration of 40 years on campus. Pace was the first in the country to use nurse practitioners to operate its health center, which Feldman said has become a model for the rest of the country. Pace also plans to open a new health center on its New York City campus later this year.

our years ago, Keith Rhodes left his position as senior vice president and group director at the Young & Rubicam Group-New York, where he spent five years at the helm of a multiagency team that offered integrated marketing services for Land Rover North America. He took on the job of vice president and chief digital communications officer at his alma mater, Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Connecticut. “Today, many interactions with a university take place online, accessed by several different devices,” Rhodes said in a Quinnipiac press statement announcing his hiring. “It’s a complex landscape and consumers expect an experience that reflects the quality and value of the institution.” At the end of last December, Rhodes left Quinnipiac to create University Labs, a Stamfordbased agency focused on providing marketing services and digital experience products for private four-year colleges and universities. The inspiration for this startup, according to Rhodes, was based on his first-hand observations on the state of higher education marketing. “When I joined Quinnipiac, I learned quite a bit about the disruption happening in higher education,” he recalled. “The agencies that serviced the higher-education vertical aren’t very good — they were very low innovation and only offered homogenized product offerings. The big shops on Madison Avenue don’t know how to work with universities, and universities don’t know how to work with Madison Avenue. As a chief marketing officer, I was looking around and couldn’t find any good agencies. I chose to use agencies in the New York and Boston areas to get a higher level of inspiration from other industries in order to advance
Quinnipiac.” In launching University Labs, Rhodes said colleges and universities cannot afford to take an if-you-build-it-theywill-come approach to attracting students. For starters, he said, the prospective target audience is getting smaller. “There is a significant population decline that is happening over the next 10 years, and there are 3 percent fewer students graduating from high school,” he said. “Huge population shifts are occurring throughout the country, especially in the Northeast where you have a higher concentration of private schools. Part of the challenge today is that the demand is not there for all universities.” Rhodes added that many schools are trying to woo students with what he calls “discount rates” on tuition, but this runs the risk of creating financial instability if too much discounting takes place. “They call them grants and scholarships so it sounds sexier, but its cash on the hood in automotive parlance,” he said, adding that this situation is not a secret among those searching for the right college. “Parents are negotiating hard and they know they can get it.” In Rhodes’ estimation, colleges and universities need to take a cue from consumer brand marketing. “You have to differentiate,” he said. “For too long, universities have not really thought about themselves as brands. They need to think about their identity. They spend enormous amounts of money building beautiful schools, beautiful campuses and beautiful buildings, but their marketing and communications are a mess, and their websites are a mess.” In positioning University Labs, Rhodes is seeking to create partnerships with schools by developing and implementing strategic marketing strategies unique to their needs. He aims to create individualized audits of the schools’ ongoing marketing and will tailor specific plans
with clearly defined goals on how to use this new approach to generate greater interest from applicants. Rhodes is aiming for an initial four- to six-month engagement model to allow universities to develop strategies. Rhodes insisted that college and universities chief marketing officers are looking for this type of help. “They have tremendous pressure on them in order to perform,” he explained. One area where Rhodes is placing a strong emphasis is website design, which serves as the first impression that many students have regarding college choices. He has already introduced a cloudbased, enterprise-grade web content management platform called Sitelab DXP that will enable universities to build and scale a website without the need for expensive and built-from-scratch code development. “Greater than 90 percent of people will use that website throughout the process multiple times,” he said. “But if that website doesn’t feel like a fit, they will drop out of the consideration process.” Since officially starting University Labs in January, Rhodes has targeted schools in the Northeast and MidAtlantic region, and he opened an office in Washington, D.C., to better serve the latter market. He has self-funded the endeavor and said he has kept his operating expenses “fairly low.” He said that he is developing a partner network that can support his product and service offerings. For the long haul, Rhodes is eager to maintain an ongoing relationship with the schools and is not looking for one-off assignments. “I am not a job shop,” he said. “I am looking to partner with the universities and be, in a lot of ways, an outsourced chief marketing officer. I believe in higher education and I believe that I can help universities to expand and grow and to think about their audiences while developing great experiences.”

Cinema Sarah Lawrence combines liberal arts with hands-on filmmaking
A
spiring filmmakers can look forward to a new, one-of-a-kind program now being offered by Sarah Lawrence College. Cinema Sarah Lawrence, a 15-week, semester away program, is a rare opportunity for young filmmakers from various colleges to collaborate with 25 film professionals in the making of a feature film, which will be released nationally. The program is led by myself, an award-winning independent filmmaker and faculty member, and Fred Strype, chair of Sarah Lawrence’s robust Filmmaking & Moving Image Arts program. It is set to launch in the spring 2019 semester. (I am currently traveling the country, starting in the Northeast at
Skidmore, Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, and other schools to recruit 35 students for the program.) “An education that stresses the core values of the liberal arts, with an emphasis on the multifaceted nature of important issues and problems that require innovative and flexible thinking, is more relevant than ever,” said Dean of the College Kanwal Singh. “Cinema Sarah Lawrence is an experiential learning program that is deeply rooted in the liberal arts, immersing students in a process that starts with a work of literature and moves through the entire arc of development that results in the creation of a film.” Cinema Sarah Lawrence
begins with a weeklong visit to the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. From there, students and faculty/mentors travel to the island of Nantucket in Massachusetts for several weeks of classes, workshops, and pre-production. Following that, students will work with an expanded group of mentors/professionals to launch final pre-production and production of the planned film, “Martin Eden.” The program has an impressive track record. Founded in 2011 at Marlboro College, it ran for seven years, providing valuable experience to 96 students from 23 colleges and universities around the world. Previous films produced include
“Disappearances,” starring Academy Award nominees Kris Kristofferson and Genevieve Bujold; “Northern Borders,” starring Bujold and two-time Academy Award nominee Bruce Dern; “Peter and John,” starring Golden Globe-winner Jacqueline Bisset, Christian Coulson (“Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets”), and Diane Guerrero (“Orange is the New Black”), and “Wetware,” starring Jerry O’Connell (“Stand by Me”), Cameron Scoggins (“Nashville”) and Morgan Wolk (“Miles Ahead”). For 2019, Cinema Sarah Lawrence will produce a film based on Jack London’s autobiographical novel, “Martin Eden.” In this story, a roughhewn, poor and unschooled
sailor, Martin Eden, unexpectedly meets Ruth Morse, a magnetic young woman of means and education. Their unconventional attraction upends both lives and propels timely themes of impossible love, the confines of class, celebrity and individualism, aspiration to the American Dream, and the quest for a comfortable place in an inconstant world. Students from all accredited colleges and universities are welcome to apply to Cinema Sarah Lawrence. Many kinds of students — not just film students — benefit from the program, as the skills developed have multiple applications and are chiefly intended to foster critical thinking, joint decision-making, problem-solv-
ing, evidence-based inquiry, creative interpretation, contextual analysis, fair-mindedness, flexibility, risk-taking in the process of creative discovery, and much more. Students also acquire practical skills in the many specific jobs that are required to make a narrative feature film or television program. These skills can help them to advance significantly if they choose to pursue professional opportunities in the field. To learn more about Cinema Sarah Lawrence, visit sarahlawrence.edu/cinema. Jay Craven is an award-winning independent �ilmmaker and faculty member at Sarah Lawrence College.

Marists eyes fall opening for $26M fashion/arts expansion
M
arist College is hoping to be done by fall on a $26 million expansion project at its Steel Plant Studio across Route 9 from its main campus in Poughkeepsie. The private college of about 6,600 students started on the renovations last summer. The completed building will house Marist’s fashion and arts and digital media programs, with dedicated gallery spaces for both. The project renovates and expands the existing 12,000 square feet of studio and learning space with a two-story, 36,000-squarefoot addition. The expansion is designed by Manhattanbased Robert A.M. Stern Architects LLP to match

what the school described as the Hudson River Valley’s industrial-modern style. The design incorporates brick, steel, polished concrete, terrazzo, corrugated metal, tile and wood. Stern Architects previously designed new residence halls at the north end of Marist’s campus, its science and allied health building and an expansion of its student center. Once completed, the expanded studio space will host classrooms, four digital labs, a maker space for advanced 3-D and large format 2-D printing, faculty offices and a student-run boutique and entrepreneurship lab. An interior garden will have a café and gallery that exhibits regional and international artists along with student work.

GOOD THINGS SHOP & SHARE IN SCARSDALE Scarsdale Village merchants, in collaboration with The Acceleration Project, are staging the Scarsdale Village Spring Shop & Share event to benefit Family Services of Westchester. Participating Scarsdale Village merchants plan to either donate a percentage of proceeds from sales or a fixed pledge amount to FSW during this two-day event, April 26 and 27.

“This event will contribute to the vitality of Scarsdale Village, drawing members of the community and surrounding communities to shop and support our local merchants while giving back to one of the largest human services and mental health nonprofit organizations in Westchester County,” said Jane Veron, CEO of The Acceleration Project. Marcy Berman-Goldstein of I Am More Scarsdale, and Michael Rosen of Eye Gallery are co-chairs of the event.
