n age of nuclear power may be winding down, but the age of nuclear waste has just begun.

That was the opening message, from Gordon Edwards, at a conference in Garrison on June 9 to discuss the decommissioning of Indian Point Energy Center in Buchanan. The nuclear plant is expected to close by 2021 as part of a legal settlement between

the plant’s owner and operator, Entergy Corp., and the state government.

Edwards is president of the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility. He and a group of about a dozen nuclear experts and environmental advocates gathered at the recent forum to discuss Indian Point’s decommissioning and nuclear waste storage. The event, which drew about 100 people to the basement of the Desmond-Fish Library, was co-sponsored by Hudson River » NUCLEAR, page 6

Deal buzz: $17M paid for New York pot grower in Purchase

alley Agriceuticals LLC, a Purchasebased company that has conditional approval for a New York medical marijuana license, will be acquired by a New York and Toronto-based cannabis company that already operates in multiple states. iAnthus Capital Holdings Inc.

on June 12 announced the signing of a letter of intent for the $17 million deal. The acquisition will expand iAnthus’ portfolio into five regulated cannabis states in the U.S., which the company said is the largest footprint among public companies focused on licensed cannabis operations. iAnthus will acquire Gloucester Street Capital LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Valley Agriceuticals LLC and Valley Agriceuticals Real Estate

LLC. The deal includes $2.3 million in cash and $15 million in iAnthus shares, priced at $2 per share.

Valley Agriceuticals has already broken ground on a cultivation campus in Wallkill, a 136acre property zoned to allow a 6,500-square-foot plant cultivation and processing facility. Upon final approval from the state Department of Health, Valley Ag will be licensed for one cultivation and processing facility and four dispensaries. The company said it expects to supplement its cultivation facility with a 14,500-squarefoot hybrid greenhouse.

Valley Ag was not awarded one of the first five medical marijuana licenses from the state in 2015, but the Department of Health announced in February

that the program would expand to 10 licenses. The state will use a phased-in approach to license the companies that scored sixth through 10th in the initial application process. Valley Ag scored 8th.

The company received conditional approval in May for the state license and expects be fully approved this summer. Valley Ag anticipates that it can plant its first crop by the end of this year.

The company plans to produce pharmaceutical-grade standardized medical marijuana deliverable through oils, pills, inhaler pens and other delivery mechanisms. It can sell those products through its dispensaries, branded as Origin Health Centers.

The dispensaries are expected to open early next year, according to the company’s press release.

New York’s medical marijuana program began registering patients in 2015 and was up to 21,000 patients as of June 6. iAnthus said New York’s accelerated patient growth since March, when the state approved chronic pain as a qualifying condition for treatment with medical marijuana, made it an especially attractive market. The state Senate is also considering a bill that would add posttraumatic stress disorder as a qualifying condition.

“With a population of nearly 20 million residents, a rapidly growing patient base and only 10 medical cannabis licenses, New York is an ideal market for iAnthus to enter,” said Randy Maslow, » CANNABIS, page 6

O

wners of The Westchester in White Plains are hoping the mall’s latest addition will transform the downtown center into not just a place to shop, but a dining destination.

Atop the upscale shopping center on the mall’s fourth level is Savor Westchester, a replacement for the food court that previously occupied the space. But don’t make the mistake of calling Savor by its former name.

“We never say food court in this company anymore,” the mall’s General Manager Steven Sayers told the crowd at a recent event held by the Hudson Gateway Association of Realtors. “It’s now a dining district.”

Three New York City-based eateries have opened within Savor this spring: Whitmans New York, Mighty Quinn’s Barbeque and Bluestone Lane coffee shop.

“We’re bringing in first-in-market tenants that are mainly food and experiential based,” Sayers said. “People want a localized, individualized experience that no one else has ever had before.”

Sayers said that food available at malls

has historically been used as a way to extend a shopper’s stay, but that’s no longer the case.

“Now it’s a driving force,” he said.

Savor Westchester offers a variety of seating options, from sleek, white fourperson seating arrangements to wooden picnic tables. A patio area features a fireplace and plush outdoor chairs and couches overlooking downtown White Plains.

“The Westchester mall itself is beautiful,” said Josh Perring of Bluestone Lane, an Australian-inspired cafe that operates a dozen shops in New York City, along with outposts in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and San Francisco. “We’re community-oriented, and the reception in this community has been really positive.”

Asked why Mighty Quinn’s chose to open an eatery within The Westchester, cofounder Hugh Mangum responded, “Why not?”

The barbecue eatery got its start as a vendor at Brooklyn’s seasonal outdoor food market, Smorgasburg. Since then, Mighty Quinn’s has grown to open locations in Brooklyn, the Bronx and New Jersey. The company also has an international presence in Taiwan, Philippines, Dubai and Japan.

But for Mangum, expanding just north of the company’s home base into Westchester was a no-brainer.

“We have a lot of commuters here that know our brand,” he said. “It’s nice to have people come by that do dine with us in the city.”

Whitmans owner Craig Koenig agreed that brand recognition from New York City workers and visitors played a role in the

company’s opening at The Westchester.

“We don’t want to expand too fast or go too far,” he said. “This was perfect.”

Burger joint Whitmans operates three sit-down restaurants in New York City.

For Koenig, transitioning to a quick-serve environment has been the greatest challenge of the company›s newest location.

“We cook everything to order,” he said.

“People don’t like to wait, and some of our burgers take over 12 to 14 minutes to cook.

In time, people’s expectations will change when they see our quality.”

Savor Westchester will add pizza shop Tomato & Co. to its roster of restaurants later this month. Juice Generation and Hai Street Kitchen, an urban Japanese-casual concept, are set to open in August.

Simon Property Group, operator of the 890,000-square-foot mall, believes the new restaurants will help fill a “major dining void” in White Plains.

“It will appeal to the downtown daytime population, the surrounding communities and our guests who have been shopping the mall for over two decades,” said Meghann Martindale, Simon’s director of leasing.

Simon unveiled the new Savor area as part of the mall’s multimillion-dollar renovation project. Along with the dining district, the 12-acre mall also opened a children’s play area and a technology lounge on its fourth floor in December.

Other enhancements include modernized elevators and lobbies, all new facades on major mall entrances and new landscaping and flooring.

Tobacco 21: Time to stand up to the tobacco industry and protect youth

A

s a nurse practitioner in the field of oncology, I see firsthand the damage smoking does to the lives of my patients and their families, including their children and grandchildren. The impact of a lung cancer or other cancer diagnosis is devastating and sometimes enough to stop a younger person from smoking, but if we have law in place to assist those with underdeveloped decision-making skills, we can be doing a great deal to impact death from cancer.

I work every day to help improve and protect the health of our kids, patients and families. This truly should be an important role for all of us. At times this means we must stand up to people and interests that damage health. We must stand up to Big Tobacco now.

New York has made great progress in the fight against tobacco but we have not yet won the war with Big Tobacco. Too many residents struggle with this deadly addiction. It’s time to stop the influence of the tobacco industry in our community and pass legislation to increase the age for the sale of tobacco products to 21. It is also time we acted to make it less likely that our children will ever have to hear the words, “You have cancer.”

This policy, referred to as T-21, would help protect some of our most vulnerable — our children — from the tobacco industry. Each year, roughly 7,600 New York state kids become new daily smokers. Unless current smoking rates decline, 280,000 New York state kids alive today will die early from tobaccorelated illnesses. Given 95 percent of smokers started before the age of 21, it is imperative to help our young residents.

To lower our smoking rates and save lives, we must stop kids before they start.

Evidence shows that T-21 could significantly reduce smoking prevalence.

The Institute of Medicine predicts that raising the national minimum age for the sale of tobacco products to 21 will likely lead to a 12 percent reduction in smoking prevalence. That would mean healthier New Yorkers and lower tobacco-related health care costs.

Big Tobacco continues to try to addict our young people to their deadly products. This is especially true for

our young adults between the ages of 18 and 21 because this is a period during which habits are started and decisions are made that can affect someone for the rest of his or her life. The brains of these young people are still developing. This includes the areas of the brain related to decision-making, sensation-seeking and susceptibility to peer pressure. The tobacco industry pours some $206 million each year into our state to aggressively market their products and to hook future generations. We must not surrender to this deadly campaign.

Opponents say we should give adolescents a choice and we should not single out tobacco products. The truth is that tobacco products, when used as intended, cause disease and premature death. This is just one example of how tobacco is unlike any other legal product.

New Yorkers who truly understand the issue know that policies are a necessity to protect the health of young people and to save lives.

Some who oppose the bill also claim that its enactment will cost our government revenue due to decreased sales.

The use of tobacco is currently costing us a paralyzing amount. The annual health care costs in New York directly caused by smoking are $10.39 billion. Medicaid costs caused by smoking in New York are a staggering $6.62 billion. Smoking is not only bad for health; it is bad for our bottom line.

While it is important to look at the financial burden caused by smoking, it is more important to look at the New Yorkers who have lost their lives and damaged their health due to smoking.

Think about the families and friends of these victims of Big Tobacco. The real price we pay from tobacco use is with our health and lives. Tobacco use is a major risk for many types of cancer, heart disease and stroke.

This law already is in place in more than 230 localities in 17 states, including 11 New York state localities and New York City. I ask that our state legislators representing Westchester County look at the facts and act to protect the health of all New Yorkers. The time to pass T-21 is now.

Tiny Burling Plaza represents big New Rochelle plans

BY BILL HELTZEL

The June 12 plaza opening coincided with the groundbreaking for the Millennia, the third of seven low-rise apartment buildings with 460 units on adjacent property.

The Hammels’ 22 Burling Development LLC, which includes a partner, Robert Leaf, is demolishing a house and small office building for the $30 million, six-story 110unit building.

Hammel said it should be built and occupied by the end of next year.

T

he opening of Burling Plaza could easily be overlooked, if not for what it represents in New Rochelle’s development strategy.

The plaza is tiny, just a slice of land at Burling Lane near North Avenue.

Interstate 95 isolates the space where it slices through downtown below street level. A pedestrian bridge that spans the highway and connects to the train station has long been closed.

“It was rough and tough and fenced in,” said developer Tony Hammel. “It’s not a big park, but symbolically it’s greater than its physical size.” The plaza is an important element in Hammel’s plan to create a neighborhood between Montefiore New Rochelle Hospital and New Rochelle Transit Center.

The greater significance is that it is an

example of the city’s strategy of creating green spaces, no matter how small, wherever they can be built. “That’s how you add value to neighborhoods,” Hammel said.

“And they’re doing it all over New Rochelle.”

Burling Plaza has sculpture, lighting and a bench with a solar charging station.

Within a year, the pedestrian bridge will be

New Rochelle favors Pelham developer’s proposal

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

M

acQuesten Development will probably get the right to redevelop the cityowned site of a fire station at 45 Harrison St. in downtown New Rochelle.

Luiz Aragon, commissioner of development, told the New Rochelle City Council at its June 13 meeting that a selection committee favors a proposal from the Pelham company over that presented by a partnership of the Richman Group and Brock Services Corp. partnership.

MacQuesten had presented plans to the council last month for a 27-story tower with 282 apartments, nearly 50,000 square feet of office space, 9,500 square feet of retail space and a four-story parking garage.

The city has stipulated that the developer may not disrupt fire department operations and must relocate the station.

Engineers assured MacQuesten that contractors can work safely around the fire station for 18 months, said Joseph Apicella, managing director at MacQuesten, at a May 9 council meeting.

The Pelham-based development company is working with Mitchell Associates Architects, a suburban Albany firm that works exclusively on building firehouses, to plan and build a new station.

The Brock-Richman partnership proposed a $162.8 million, 28-story building with 300 apartments, 42,000 square feet of offices, 36,000 square feet of retail and a five-level parking garage.

“I hope we can have both teams working in New Rochelle,” Mayor Noam Bramson said at the June 13 meeting, “and have multiple sites in play.”

The city council is scheduled to formally act on the MacQuesten Development proposal at its June 20 session.

IN COURT

BY BILL HELTZEL

NEW ROCHELLE CONTRACTOR CHARGED IN HOME REPAIR SCHEME A New Rochelle contractor on the county’s Renegade Renovators list has been charged with stealing from a customer.

Michael Scoca, 52, was charged last month with three counts of grand larceny and three counts of identity theft.

Scoca told a Bronx family that he was a licensed contractor, according to the Westchester County district atttorney, and would build them a house. He persuaded the family to provide him with five credit cards to pay for materials and construction costs.

Instead, Westchester County District Attorney Anthony A. Scarpino Jr. said in a news release, Scoca stole $79,000 for personal expenses and unrelated business expenses, using the clients’ personal information and credit card numbers. He allegedly diverted money to pay fees at a New Rochelle yacht club, buy precious metal

coins and acquire thousands of dollars of items from retail stores.

The district attorney did not identify the victims in the news release and redacted their names in a copy of the indictments.

Scoca pleaded not guilty in New Rochelle City Court.

Scoca was also charged with grand larceny last August in Rockland County. He was accused of stealing $26,000 from a Stony Point couple who hired him to remodel their kitchen. He demolished the kitchen and installed Sheetrock, the district attorney charged, but then abandoned the project.

Ravi and Anhtho Kashyap sued him in Westchester Supreme Court for $35,000, claiming he damaged their home and performed work in a deficient manner.

Also last year, Arben Morina accused Scoca of filing an invalid mechanic’s lien.

Morina hired Scoca to build a house in Eastchester for $345,000 and had paid him $126,990 for work.

Scoca filed a mechanic’s lien for $545,000, allegedly failing to properly notify Morina and using false information.

Morina was left only with a “hole in the ground,” dug by a subcontractor.

In 2001, Scoca was charged in Westchester with insurance fraud and grand larceny, for which he was sentenced to five years probation.

In 2004, he was charged with grand larceny, insurance fraud, workers compen-

sation fraud and possession of stolen property. He was sentenced to a year in jail.

According to the county’s Renegade Renovators list, Scoca also does business as SCG 24/7 Construction, Scoca Construction Corp. and Scoca General Contracting.

Contractors qualify for the Renegade distinction by being a continual source of many consumer complaints. “Consumers,” according to the county Consumer Protection Department, “should not use these contractors.

FAILED HAWAIIAN DEAL LEADS TO EX-HBO CHIEF IN KATONAH A failed Hawaiian real estate project leads to the doorstep of a Katonah resident.

Ke Kailani Development LLC filed for Chapter 11 protection in federal bankruptcy court in White Plains on May 1. The petition is the company’s second attempt to reorganize under bankruptcy laws.

The company was formed to develop high-end luxury housing in Hawaii, but its principal place of business is 33 Reyburn Drive in Katonah, a large estate owned by its sole member, former media executive Michael J. Fuchs.

Fuchs made his reputation as an executive with HBO. He joined the company in 1976, eventually became its chairman and CEO and built it into one of the largest and most successful cable networks. Time Warner Inc. bought HBO and he became CEO of Warner

Music Group. He was forced out in 1995 and reportedly got a $60 million payout.

From 2005 to 2006, Fuchs borrowed $70.4 million for a project within the Mauna Lani Resort in South Kahala, Hawaii. He bought about 65 acres to develop 39 lots for single-family homes and one parcel for 12 condominiums, according to court papers.

Only 11 single-family lots and two condominiums were sold, and in 2009 the company defaulted on its loans. The company’s creditors — the similarly named Ke Kailani Partners LLC — owned the original bank loans, sued for foreclosure and won a court judgment.

The day before the property was scheduled to be auctioned in 2011, Fuchs’ company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Hawaii.

Creditors cried foul. Fuchs’ company owed them $29 million and he had personally guaranteed the loans, according to court papers. “The apparent intention of the bankruptcy filing was to protect debtor’s sole member, Mr. Michael J. Fuchs,” the creditors stated.

Fuchs, with consent from his creditors, ended the bankruptcy case in 2011. In dismissing the case, the judge barred Fuchs from filing another bankruptcy petition until the property was sold.

The new case lists a $25 million claim from Ke Kailani Partners, the creditor.

Fuchs disputes the debt.

Nuclear —

not really happened in any case of a reactor closure.”

Geoffrey Fettus, a senior attorney with Natural Resources Defense Council, described Indian Point as a “huge industrial cleanup.” He added that the site has “an extraordinarily different component to it — waste that lasts for essentially millions of years.”

Robert Alvarez, a scholar with

the Institute for Policy Studies and former senior policy adviser to the U.S. Department of Energy, warned that the communities surrounding Indian Point were entering into “a realm of great uncertainty.”

“You must get involved, you must demand transparency,” HE said. “You must get them to confess to what they really know and what they really don’t know and

what the uncertainties are and you must demand contingencies to deal with the uncertainties.”

Entergy announced the settlement to close the plant with the state and the environmental group Riverkeeper in January.

Under the terms of the deal, Indian Point Unit 2 will shut down by April 30, 2020 and Unit 3 by April 30, 2021. The deal requires Entergy to provide $15 million for environmental stewardship and to transfer used fuel to dry casks storage at a minimum rate of four casks per year, reaching at least 24 casks by 2021.

Entergy spokesperson Jerry Nappi said in a statement that Entergy has begun engaging the community on “what can be expected to occur in the future” regarding decommissioning.

“Entergy will adhere to established federal regulation in regard to the decommissioning of Indian Point to ensure the safety and security of the site, including the used fuel that has been safely stored on it for decades,” Nappi said. “Until the federal government removes the fuel from the site, Entergy is obligated to manage the safe and secure storage of the fuel using processes approved by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.”

Officials with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission were scheduled to hold a public hearing in Tarrytown on June 14 to discuss its annual safety performance review of Indian Point. The NRC announced in advance that its inspections last year found the plant operated safely in 2016.

we are seeing striking similarities between where New York is today and where Canada was a year ago, with comparable patient numbers and a limited number of competitors,” said Julius Kalcevich, CFO of iAnthus.

The main difference, according to Valley Ag CFO Philip Green, is that “New York is experiencing significantly faster patient growth, indicating that New York state could potentially be one of the largest

medical marijuana markets in the U.S.” The acquisition is subject to approval by the state Health Department and Canadian Securities Exchange. It is expected to close in the third quarter this year.

After giving a brief walk-through of the process that creates nuclear energy, Edwards cautioned that nuclear waste “will be a public health problem for millennia to come.”

He advocates a nuclear waste management concept called rolling stewardship. which calls for constant monitoring of the waste products. “Since we don’t know what to do with waste, really,” Edwards said. “We don’t know how to get rid of it, we don’t know how to neutralize it, it is therefore wrong to abandon it.”

“Do we know how to manage nuclear waste? Yes, we do. We know how to package this stuff, we know how to keep it out of the environment with really good packaging. But of course this costs money, it has to be done properly,” said Edwards.

Tim Judson, executive director of the Nuclear Information Resource Service, a nonprofit that describes itself as advocating for a “a nuclear-free, carbon-free world,” stressed the importance of communities staying engaged throughout the process.

“There’s going to be a lot of uncertainty and possibly some disappointment about what the final outcome of decommissioning is going to be,” Judson said. “There’s a lot of talk about greenfielding the site at the end of decommissioning, and that has

“The state’s move to eliminate some of the program’s initial limitations has created an incredibly potent opportunity for accelerating patient growth.” iAnthus also operates in or has partnered with marijuana license holders in Massachusetts, Vermont, Colorado and New Mexico. The company lists offices in both Toronto and Manhattan and trades on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol IAN. iAnthus officials noted that patient growth in the first 500 days of New York’s program outpaced the growth of Canada’s medical marijuana program in its first 500 days.

Above the Bar honors five lawyers former chief judge of the New York Court of Appeals, in introducing Georgia Kramer, a founder of Kramer Kozek LLP, as the leading matrimonial attorney.

He cited her expertise in many areas of matrimonial law.

“But what is most striking to me is how she has blended her legal skills with her humanity,” he said.

“She is your friend, your confidant, your co-conspirator. She is kind. She is sensitive to your needs. She’s is loyal and true and she uses her unique personal qualities to carry you through the most trying of times.

Georgia Kramer literally saves lives.”

Kramer boiled down her work as simply serving people.

“It’s a privilege,” she said, “to be an attorney and to assist people.”

ard work is a given for any lawyer who hopes to excel, but what distinguishes the five winners in the Above the Bar Awards is a sense of pub-

lic duty.

The awardees did not speak so much of their legal labors as they did of their civic obligations.

These lawyers make the profession proud, said Anthony A. Scarpino Jr., Westchester County district attorney, introducing the winners on the night of June 8 at Whitby Castle in Rye. “It’s an extremely difficult job to do right,” he said, “and it’s tremendously important to take the time to recognize the members of the bar that do an extraordinary job.”

“No shortcuts.” That’s the credo by which P. Daniel Hollis III, recipient of the Pace Setter award, has tried to live his life.

He is a litigator in complex corporate and land-use cases, with Shamberg Marwell Hollis Andreycak & Laidlaw. He has been recognized by several organizations for his community work.

He made a promise to himself when he returned home from Vietnam in 1969, where he served in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division.

Mindful of the 58,000 comrades who were killed and the hundreds of thousands who did not return home “in sound mind, spirit or body,” he vowed to honor their sacrifices by trying to make the world better, “taking no short cuts along the way.”

Joseph Carlucci, a partner in Cuddy & Feder, echoed the theme, in accepting the award for most socially conscious attorney.

His legal work encompasses a range of corporate and real estate law, but it is volunteer work that weights his resume: educational institutions, a children’s center, arts organizations, a substance abuse counseling agency, land conservation and more.

On his first day at Georgetown University, new undergraduates were told they were very fortunate, though they might not think so. With their good fortune comes the obligation to go back to their communities and make them better places.

He was but one of many of the 150 or so lawyers and judges at the ceremony, he said, who have practiced in socially conscious ways.

“I’d say to all of you here tonight, you are also fortunate and therefore you have an obligation to go out and help organizations better peoples’ lives.”

Richard O’Rourke of Keane & Beane PC also deflected his honor, as the leading land-use attorney.

“What this is really about is team work

and support,” he said. “I’ve been blessed with great team members focused on achieving success in a very ethical framework. Receiving an award like this is a result of working with great people.”

The most difficult part of the profession is matrimonial law, said Jonathan Lippman,

nary presence at the law school, said Dean David Yassky.

She echoed the evening’s themes of privilege and responsibility.

She recalled her anxiety on the night before her first finals exam and the inspiration she found in the words of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor: “The law needs us.”

Pace taught her that the law is always worth it. “I cannot wait,” she said, “to enter this profession.”

The Above the Bar awards is in its 11th year. It was presented by Citrin Cooperman accountants and advisers, Pace’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law and the Westchester County Business Journal.

“It is wonderful to see our community come together,” said Alan G. Badey, managing partner of Citrin Cooperman’s White Plain’s office, “to celebrate the accomplishments of top lawyers in Westchester County.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

The value of maintenance work We add one client and then we lose one. There’s no real growth in maintenance work. We have never done a campaign push to grow the maintenance side of our business. Should we focus there? And if so, how do we do it?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Consider the effort that goes into getting new customers. Make sure that the business lines you’re growing have long-term value. Teach your employees about how valuable repeat customers are to the business, what that means to the company’s well-being long term and what they can do to help.

Selling new customers is time consuming and costly. Why not instead focus on revenue that comes from keeping customers year after year. Pay attention to your renewal process and watch the dollars roll in. That includes putting someone in charge of keeping customers on board.

Run the numbers on profits from renewal customers. Usually it is higher than initial sales profits, after accounting for all delivery and installation costs and sales commissions. Think about the sale value of your business. A book of customers who

keep renewing is a valuable asset.

Put every customer on a schedule. If possible, spread costs out over the months of the year, so there’s not a big shock every three, six or 12 months. Get a credit card on file to put charges through with an automatically renewing service agreement and an annual escalation percentage. Offer customers service for free or at a huge discount the first year to get the process started.

Create levels of service to give price-conscious customers options.

Think about customers in decades instead of as one-time acquisition events.

One of the best ways to improve value is to fundamentally connect with ways to improve peoples’ lives. Making it easier for customers to maintain a working system, and to get service when needed, is an added value. So is staying in front of the customer so that they don’t have to go searching for

a service solution. The third way to create value is to regularly add services that customers are looking for. Make it your mission to add a new service or service enhancement every year or two.

Set two goals each year for renewals, one for converting new customers to renewals and one for retaining existing renewals. Then think about a third revenue opportunity, to sell something additional to those recurring customers.

If your company hasn’t sold a lot of maintenance contracts, take a look at how many of last year’s customers fell away and why. Are people moving away or otherwise no longer in need of your services? If so, who is taking their place and how do you tap into those new potential buyers. How many left because of dissatisfaction? How many left because they didn’t hear from you or you weren’t relentless enough with the follow up?

Take a look at what your competitors are doing to keep or shed customers. Sometimes another company’s throwaways can be your manna from heaven.

Looking at their retained customers, you may find clues to their success that you can adapt.

At the heart of most customer-retention programs is the customer interaction. How many of your customers rave about their experiences with your employees? Explain to employees that continuing revenue from current customers makes the company more stable and profitable, which in term contributes to employee retention and pay increases.

Show employees the link between making sure every customer’s products or services are in top working order and the likelihood that customers will stick with your company long term.

For 45 years, agency shrinks achievement gap one home at a time

Business and Community Leaders Invited to Participate in Annual Breakfast Meeting

ccording to a legion of research from a number of institutions, children from low-income households perform worse on most measures of academic achievement, from grades and test scores to college enrollment rates, when compared to their high-income peers.

While the reasons behind this broad gap are varied, many researchers believe part of the problem lies in the fact that children in lower-income households are less likely to have access to learning-rich environments in their own homes. For one Westchester nonprofit, creating those environments has been its mission for nearly half a century.

Westchester Jewish Community Services, a nonprofit human services agency headquartered in White Plains, marked the 45th anniversary of its Parent Child Home Program (PCHP) this year. The program uses an evidence-based model to provide families with tools to achieve their greatest potential both in school and in life.

“The program bridges the academic achievement gap between children from low-income families and their wealthier peers,” said program director Patrice Cuddy. “Children participating in the PCHP enter school ready to learn and achieve at the same level as their more economically advantaged peers.”

Cuddy said the program, which is part of a national network of PCHPs and the only such initiative in Westchester County, aims to prepare children for school by beginning their education in the home.

“Some research states that 30 to 50 percent of children enter kindergarten without the school readiness skills needed to succeed,” she said. Those children “often engage in a futile attempt to catch up to their more privileged peers, many of whom have had multiple years of preschool.”

As part of the program, families receive twice-weekly home visits from a program employee. The trained home visitor provides the family with a book or educational toy, often the first such item in the home.

The home visitor then uses that item to initiate conversation and play activities with both parents and children, helping develop language and literacy skills and build school readiness, Cuddy said.

PCHP employees visit the homes of families for a two-year period, beginning when the child is 2.

“The home visitor supports parents to become their child’s first and most important teacher,” Cuddy said. “The regular

presence of a well-trained, well-supervised home visitor provides a consistent support system for the family.”

According to the organization, students who complete the PCHP are 50 percent more likely to measure ready for kindergarten than their socioeconomic peers. They are also 50 percent less likely to be referred to special education services by third grade and have a 30 percent higher graduation rate than their peers.

Cuddy said the program disrupts the cycle of poverty and disadvantage by supporting academic, personal and social achievement. The program also links families to community resources including food, shelter, medical and educational assistance.

Since its inception, the PCHP has assisted more than 4,000 parents in Westchester County. Cuddy credits the program’s longstanding success to its focus on an evidence-based model and its adherence to high standards.

“Home visitors focus on building relationships and supporting families in realizing their role” as their children’s educator, she said, adding that sessions are designed to be “fun and joyful” for all involved.

The program, which has 35 part-time, paid home visitors and several full-time staff, is free to families with preschool-aged children. State and county funding, along with donations from foundations and private philanthropists, support the organization’s initiatives and $750,000 annual budget.

“Funding runs in cycles and the program is always in jeopardy of losing critical support,” she said.

Because of the PCHP’s long waiting list, Westchester Jewish Community Services opened a Parent Child Care Center at 79 7th St. in New Rochelle in 2002. The dropin playgroup allows parents and children to participate in activities together. “It also provides community resources to families who are often isolated,” Cuddy said.

The PCHP also includes a Summer Fun Program at Hartley Park in Mount Vernon and the Child Care Home Program, which assists family care providers who serve under-resourced families.

Today’s lesson: Cybersecurity for our schools

W

hen we think of cybersecurity attacks and vulnerable information, we often think of financial institutions with banking information and credit cards or hospitals with medical records. But what about our schools? We often forget that schools hold a slew of attractive data for hackers.

Verizon’s 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report ranked the education sector sixth overall in the U.S. for the total number of reported “security incidents.” So why are schools such an attractive target for a hacker? Because schools, colleges and universities in particular, have a little bit of everything for the hacker, and in high volume. Our schools’ data include items such as email addresses, Social Security numbers, medical records and insurance data, financial aid information and research material, particularly in the fields of science and engineering.

What are some key areas of concern for schools when it comes to cybersecurity?

Although the primary concern with the security of student data is generally identity theft, Huffington Post contributor Jason

Lindsey Donato

Glassberg, of Casaba Security, cites several other threats for our education system: UNIVERSITIES AND MEDICAL DATA — Several colleges and universities have their own medical centers and as such, carry medical data and records making them a target for hackers.

ACADEMIC SERVICES AND TESTS — Major exams like the SAT and ACT have been noted as susceptible to data leaks. This can compromise the legitimacy of scores and the college admissions process.

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROGRAMS — The innovative research fields are being

targeted by foreign governments. In the summer of 2015, an attack, apparently originating in China, targeted the University of Connecticut School of Engineering, exposing an unknown amount of personal and financial information of students along with sensitive research data and information from research partners.

POLITICAL ACTIVIST GROUPS — These groups that originate from or operate in college campuses are being targeted by foreign intelligence service monitoring and hacks.

K-12 SCHOOLS — Ransomware has been noted as a major threat for K-12 schools across the country. Young users may be less mindful of risks associated with clicking unknown web links. This is forcing some schools to pay to have their data released, money that most schools do not have. New York, New Jersey, Texas, Florida, South Carolina, Mississippi and Montana have already had their districts attacked with ransomware.

Awareness is a first step toward better protecting our schools. It is imperative to remember that although the business of schools is primarily educational, as opposed to financial or medical, they are

susceptible all the same. Schools should consider revamping their budgets to invest in modern cybersecurity measures, including training. Jason Glassberg, co-founder of Casaba Security, recommends spending “no less than 2.5 percent of the annual budget on IT security improvements and modernization, although more is always better.”

Secondly, our schools must determine what data they hold that is susceptible to breach and then utilize security measures like encryption, reduced access and backups to better protect that sensitive data.

Now is the time for our schools to start prioritizing cybersecurity. Schools need to keep up with modern cyber threats by maintaining awareness of current threats, acknowledging the massive amounts of personal, financial and medical data they have, investing in data protection mechanisms and teaching students, faculty and staff about the cyber risks that they face.

Entrepreneurial education is not just for business students at Iona

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

E

ntrepreneurial education is usually associated with business schools, but Iona College is aiming at a broader audience with the hiring of Christoph Winkler to head the Hynes Institute for Entrepreneurship and Innovation.

Winkler wants to train all students to become problem solvers and innovators.

“I want them to discover their entrepreneurial itch,” he said, “and help them scratch it.”

The institute was endowed with a $15 million gift from James and Anne Marie Hynes of Greenwich. Its mandate is to create a transformational, cross-disciplinary experience for students, faculty, alumni and surrounding communities.

Winkler is an educational psychologist by training. He comes to Iona from Long Island University, where he was an associate professor of entrepreneurship and academic director of an enterprise and innovation center.

He has held similar positions with Baruch College and City University of New York, where he received master’s and doctorate degrees in educational psychology. He studied at Johannes Kepler University in Linz, Austria.

The Iona institute will be unique, he said, because it will cut across all disciplines and embrace all students at the Catholic college in New Rochelle.

His appointment is to both the Hagan School of Business and the School of Arts and Science.

The institute will start up this fall with a course of studies in entrepreneurship, according to an Iona news release.

Eventually, it might confer undergraduate and master’s degrees and employ an entrepreneurship club, pitch competitions, mentoring and a community incubator.

Hynes Institute will have to practice what it preaches: explore and test ideas, collaborate with faculty in disparate disciplines, solve problems, translate interests into action and make an impact.

Winkler said the focus first of all must be on the students, starting with exposing them to the potentials of entrepreneurship.

“It’s really an introduction to a methodology, identifying opportunities and approaching them in a way to bring about change.”

Students will be expected to make choices. What interests them the most?

What problems do they want to solve? The institute will help them develop the skills they need to achieve their goals.

The entrepreneurial label is traditionally attached to people who start companies or create products. Winkler defines success more broadly.

He does not expect every student to launch a business. Some will want to work in large corporations where they can advance a mission. Some will never be risk-takers, but can become comfortable with problem solving.

An English major might apply a passion for literature to starting a school in Africa.

The methodology embeds the seed of lifelong learning.

“By definition, you become a learner because you are curious about something,” Winkler said.

Success begets success. As you solve problems, you learn fundamental techniques that enable you to set higher goals, solve bigger problems and achieve greater successes.

The institute derives at least some of its DNA from its funders.

James Hynes, a 1969 Iona graduate and chairman of the board of trustees, was a managing director of Fidelity Capital.

He was a co-founder and the first CEO of COLT Telecom Group, one of the largest telecommunications businesses in the United Kingdom. He co-founded and ran Neutral Tandem Inc., an innovator of

voice technology that eventually become Inteliquent Inc. Anne Marie Hynes studied math as an undergraduate at Pace University, where she also got a master’s in management science and a law degree. She has focused on community services, such as working with Pace Women’s Justice Center in White Plains. She is president of the Hynes Foundation.

Winkler thinks Iona’s entrepreneurial program could be transformational.

“It’s not really about the degree,” he said. “It’s the experiences that come with it, the ability to continue learning and to engage your environment.”

“These are the skills that serve as a catalyst to lifelong learning.”

New round of layoffs at CNR

BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com The College of New Rochelle laid off 32 members of its faculty and staff this month.

According to a June 12 statement on the college’s website, the layoffs were necessary in order for the college to achieve financial stability. “We have taken this painful step only after exhausting all other options,” the statement read. “Payroll and benefits are the college’s largest area of expense, yet it’s the most difficult to reduce because it involves the lives of individuals who devote their time and energy to our students and campus.”

Of the 32 employees affected, 10 were

The Center for Disaster Medicine previously has conducted this type of first responder training as part of a pilot program with the U.S. Department of Defense.

The increased state funding that comes with being declared a Center of Excellence will help New York Medical College build out those training programs, which use military strategies to guide decisions by first responders in dangerous and dynamic

tenured faculty. The college said selected employees were chosen to assure “minimum impact” on student experience. Personnel from all five campuses were affected.

Because of the college’s financial restrictions, compensation packages were not offered.

College officials said no further layoffs are anticipated.

In October, college trustees announced that a probe into its finances had found $20 million in unpaid payroll taxes spanning eight quarters since 2014 and an additional $11.2 million in debts and liabilities. President Judith Huntington stepped down in October.

Following that discovery, the college appointed a special committee to oversee an investigation. The school named a chief restructuring officer from the New York City accounting firm Grassi and Associates to manage the college’s finances. Trustees also hired a forensic accountant, PKF O’Connor Davies, and the law firm Pepper Hamilton LLP to conduct the investigation.

The layoffs come as part of the college’s financial restructuring plan, which it embarked on last fall. The college said the “exhaustive process” has involved a careful analysis of its operations to determine where expenses can be reduced.

“To date we have identified and implemented cost reductions in virtually every operational area,” the statement read. “As a result, we have made significant progress and our financial outlook is steadily improving.”

Founded by Ursuline Sisters in 1904, The College of New Rochelle includes four schools: the School of Arts & Sciences, the School of Nursing and Health Care Professions, the Graduate School and the School of New Resources for adult learners.

Its main campus is in New Rochelle, with five satellite campuses in the New York City boroughs. Formerly a women’s college, the school became fully coeducational last fall.

environments.

“We’re talking about doing things now to enhance the civilian emergency medical response to not just terrorism, but all types of disasters and public health emergencies,” Reilly said.

That training will incorporate some of the simulators owned by New York Medical College. They look like mannequins or crash test dummies but are far more complex.

One type of simulator, which Reilly said costs from $75,000 to $90,000, can replicate basic human actions such as breathing

and blinking and is operated through Wi-Fi to display symptoms and injuries.

Using state money, Reilly said the center will be able to purchase more of the simulators. That includes mechanical paitents built specific to trauma injuries, which can bleed - and bleed out - and offer more options for surgical procedures.

“We hope we can upgrade to better technology not only to train our students but all people that come here for medical education simulation training,” Reilly said.

The simulators were on display when

New York Medical College officially opened the Center of Excellence at a ceremony on June 8. State Sen. Terrence Murphy, who helped secure the state grant, said at the ceremony that the center “gives the region a vitally needed local resource to fight terrorism and potentially protect the lives of first responders and our families.”

The main area where training and simulation will be staged is still undergoing renovations. Reilly said the college hopes to ramp up its emergency response programming by August.

“I specifically chose UConn because of the location, the easy application process, and the price. My professors and my classmates really care about my success in the program.”

GOOD THINGS From left, Angela Ciminello, Debra A. Arena and David Gentner, Wartburg’s president and CEO.

ESTATE PLANNING SESSION AT WARTBURG

NO CURBING A DOG’S INSTINCTS If everyone loves a dog story, then what happened on June 11 at the Jennie Clarkson Campus in West Harrison of St. Christopher’s Inc., should bring smiles to a multitude of faces. The Dobbs Ferry-based nonprofit, which helps special-needs children and their families, joined with United States Canine Scent Sports (USCSS) and the Bandilane Canine Center in Stamford to stage a “mock scent trial.” This is where canines of various sizes and abilities participate in exercises that test and help develop their natural instincts to hunt, search and find objects by scent. About 20 pooches took part.

The atmosphere at St. Christopher’s for the mock trial was relaxed and included games for novice and experienced dogs and their handlers. As in the intense competitions, the participants were encouraged to discriminate among various scents and find where things were hidden strictly by following one’s nose.

Staging the canine event on its Clarkson Campus was a reflection of the seriousness with which St. Christopher’s has welcomed animal-assisted therapy into the emotional, behavioral and educational support programs it offers its clients.

About 60 people attended a presentation by attorney Debra A. Arena on the essentials of estate planning that was held at the Wartburg residential and health care facility in Mount Vernon.

Arena explained the importance of long-term financial planning by saying, “You would never think of letting someone else decide your vacation destination, pick out your wardrobe or choose what you’re having for dinner, so why then would you neglect such a critically important task as selecting a guardian for your children when you’re not around to care for them, deciding which family members or charities will receive your assets and appointing an agent to manage your affairs or make health care decisions if you cannot do so?”

Subjects covered included the role of a will, charitable gifts that can be incorporated into an estate plan and estate taxes.

“This free seminar represents one more way Wartburg is committed to educating the community on steps to take to achieve that independence,” said Angela Ciminello, Wartburg’s vice president of development and marketing.

NYMC PARTICIPATES IN ANTI-OPIOID CAMPAIGN

Clinton Vineyards Winery

Phyllis Feder

POPPING A CORK IN CLINTON CORNERS There will be a celebration in Clinton Corners on June 24 when Clinton Vineyards releases its 40th vintage of Seyval Blanc. Previous bottlings have won numerous awards and were described as the “best wine in the Northeast.”

Phyllis Feder, the owner of Clinton Vineyards, says the public is invited to the rain-or-shine happening that will include wine tastings, music by a jazz trio and a farmers market.

“Last year, the conditions were great for growing and it is re-

flected in the wine,” said Feder, who at age 81 is very much in charge.

“It’s as if all the good forces have come together to produce a really outstanding vintage…we want everyone to try it.”

The 100-acre farm winery was founded in 1969 by Feder’s late husband, Ben Feder, who was a graphic designer and real estate developer. In the early 1980s, he learned the Méthode Champenoise technique at the renowned house of Bollinger in France, and he created the first “Champagne” made in the Hudson Valley.

Robert W. Amler, dean of the New York Medical College’s School of Health Sciences and Practice and the college’s vice president for government affairs, was among the 200 community, educational, and government leaders who gathered at the Westchester County Center on June 7 to begin an initiative to combat opioid abuse. It’s called “Westchester Opioid Response Teams Helping You (WORTHY).”

Previously, NYMC committed to helping combat the dangers of opioid overdoses by training students to recognize the signs and symptoms of an opioid or heroin overdose and teaching how to administer the life-saving drug Narcan.

From 2010 to 2015, annual deaths from opioid overdoses in Westchester increased more than 200 percent according to the county.

Westchester County Health Commissioner Sherlita Amler, who also is an associate professor at NYMC and married to Robert Amler, told the gathering, “There is no room on the sidelines in the fight against opiate addiction….We need the help of our partners to change the lives of the mothers and fathers, sons and daughters with opiate addictions.”
