ven though its store opening in Harrison still is more than six months away, the Wegmans Food Markets under construction at 106-110 Corporate Park Drive already has 75 to 80 employees on the payroll, with more being added, store manager Matthew Dailor told the Business Journal. “We started our hiring as of April 1,” he said. “The number is in flux. We’re trying to hire over 500 so we’re always looking for good people. Currently, our folks are training in
our Montvale, New Jersey, location, which is some 30 minutes away.” Dailor said that Wegmans takes care of transporting the employees from Westchester to Montvale, where its 108,000-square-foot store opened in September 2017 and is slightly smaller than what’s taking shape in Harrison. The approved site plan for the Harrison store was for a 121,000-square-foot facility on the 20-acre site. It was initially approved to include a 12,000-squarefoot tenant space adjacent to the main building, but Dailor said, “That is no longer part of our plan. When we looked at it, it just wasn’t making sense.”
The site plan also has been revised to show a covered outdoor seating area overlooking the supermarket’s north parking lot. Dailor said the Harrison store will feature a Burger Bar, which is a popular attraction at other Wegmans stores. “It’s a fast, casual dining experience, so you can get burgers and shakes and fries and salads and things like that made right in front of you,” he said. “We’ll also have fresh sushi in the store every day. We’ll have our pizza shop, our sandwich shop, made-togo salad station and all of our perishable food, worldclass seafoods, meats and an amazing cheese shop. I love cheese.” The store will stock approximately 70,000 items. Wegmans purchased the property for $26.5 million from Normandy Real Estate Partners. “We’re » WEGMANS

FOOD FIGHT ENDICO BROTHERS FIGHT OVER FAMILY BUSINESS BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com INHERITORS OF THE ENDICO ENTERPRISES, a prominent player in prepared foods for three generations, are fighting for control of the family business. Felix Endico of Darien, Connecticut, sued his brother, William Endico, of Armonk, July 18 in Westchester Supreme Court, claiming that company assets have been diverted. He is demanding $5 million and an accounting of transactions between UFS Industries Inc. — the family business — and his brother’s Ace Endico Corp. William “diverted monies, assets, resources, customers and corporate opportunities from UFS to Ace (and
himself ),” Felix alleges, to “destroy UFS as Ace expands on its own into manufacturing deli-style salads and similar products that had always been manufactured by UFS.” “He is totally delusional,” William Endico responded.” It’s total slander. What he’s accusing me of is all untrue.” UFS can be traced back to the brothers’ grandparents, Willie and Josie Endico, who opened a grocery store and a produce purveyor in the Bronx. It became known as Endico Potatoes Inc. after World War II, and was run by their father and two uncles. The family acquired Sally Sherman Foods, a maker of potato salad and other deli salads, in the 1970s. Today, UFS Industries operates from a facility » ENDICO

S
ix New Rochelle projects selected to share in $10 million in state funding were announced by New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul at New Rochelle City Hall on July 31. The city was named a recipient of funding from the state’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) last September. At that time, Mayor Noam Bramson said the first $300,000 would be spent on creating a strategic investment plan to determine what to do with the rest of the money. At the time the award was announced, the Business Journal reported that the city’s application for DRI funding had focused on the corridor surrounding Lincoln Avenue, about a half mile north of Main Street. The city’s application defined the corridor as a mile-long section that includes Montefiore Hospital of New Rochelle, market-rate and affordable housing, the MetroNorth train station and part of the city’s arts and cultural district. A committee composed of city representatives, community leaders and others worked with consultants and state planners to review what was happening in the way of economic development, transportation, housing and community projects and recommended where the money should go. “Investment in these projects will improve connectivity, linking downtown with the Lincoln Avenue corridor, provide residents with new recreational

opportunities and enhance quality of life,” Hochul said. The six projects receiving the funding include: • A public restroom to be built adjacent to the Lincoln Park pool house — $227,000. • A playground, basketball court and other amenities to be added to a park serving a new 288-unit affordable housing development at Winthrop Avenue and Brook Street — $343,000. • A black box theater and arts education center to be built on the sec-
ond floor of the new RXR building on the site of the old Loew’s Theater at 587 Main St. — $830,000. • The transformation of what has been the eastbound portion of Memorial Highway into public recreation space — $6,000,000. • Planning, studies and outreach to establish a new zoning overlay district to encourage a greater mix of residential and commercial uses and pedestrian-friendly design in the Lincoln Avenue corridor — $300,000. • Changes to the Lincoln Avenue
corridor to make it more pedestrian- and bike-friendly and ease traffic congestion — $2,000,000. Bramson said: “The projects funded by the DRI will forge stronger physical, economic and social links between our burgeoning downtown and the Lincoln Avenue corridor, provide for a transformative, historic investment in infrastructure, open space and mobility, improve public safety and help all people in New Rochelle benefit from inclusive growth and prosperity.”

Development proposed near Tarrytown train station BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
A
n area south of the Tarrytown Metro-North train station, which features one-story, metal-walled, warehouse-type structures and parked truck trailers may become home to a mixeduse development featuring 69 apartments. The village of Tarrytown’s Planning Board heard a preliminary presentation on July 22 from Lexington Group 202 LLC, which wants to build the project at 29 South Depot Plaza, Lot 38. In addition to being close to the train station, the site is in the vicinity of Tarrytown Village Hall and a 151-unit affordable housing building operated by the Tarrytown Housing Authority known as Franklin Courts. Last year, the developer f loated the idea of building 40 apartments above self-storage at the site. Attorney Steven Wrabel of the White Plains-based law firm McCullough Goldberger & Staudt LLP told the Planning Board that the developer already has approval for a self-storage facility on the property and now is looking to create a transit-oriented development, which would include self-storage as a portion of a ground-level retail component with 69 residences above. Wrabel said there would be 73 parking spaces dedicated to the building, with 32 on the site and 41 used under contract with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, operator of Metro-North. Twenty additional spaces would be made available by the MTA for use at night and on weekends. Wrabel said the contracted spaces would be across the street from the site on MTA property. Some parking would be provided for users of the self-storage facility. The project has been referred to the Planning Board by Tarrytown’s Board of Trustees. The applicant is requesting a zoning text amendment and also asked the Planning Board to declare itself lead agency for the environmental review. The board did that and set a public hearing for its Aug. 22 meeting. David Smith, principal at land use planning and real estate development consulting firm Planning & Development Advisors, gave a rundown on additional studies and reports the developer plans to present. Available parking resources within the project area will be examined along with “an evaluation of shared parking here because there are opportunities where different uses may have different peaks throughout the course of the day,” he said. Smith said they will look at other transit-oriented development projects in Westchester, “so you’ll have a better understanding of how the parking can be best managed and appropriately planned.” Smith said they’ll be doing a pedestrian circulation plan focusing on the areas

“We’ll have a preliminary financial analysis and we’ll evaluate what the taxes are now and what the taxes will be once the project is finished,” Smith said. He said they’ll also look at the projected
child population and evaluate the impacts of projected disposable discretionary income spending by the building’s residents on the Tarrytown community. “There was a request to evaluate how this project would meet sustainability and green building practices, so we’ll prepare a technical memo from our architect who will evaluate the measures that could be incorporated as part of the design,” Smith told the board. He said the applicant is proposing to put solar panels on the roof. Tarrytown Village Engineer Donato Pennella commented that he’d like to see a sidewalk along the building so people wouldn’t have to walk in the street because of the “constant circulation of trailers and vehicles going through there.” He also said because the site is next to the train tracks, they should think about the noise retardancy of the wall that’s planned to separate the property from the tracks.

IN COURT | By Bill Heltzel Judge rules for Concordia College in 2 of 3 retaliation claims
A
judge has dismissed two claims of retaliation against Concordia College, but allowed one whistleblower claim to continue. Erika L. Rexhouse has pleaded a “good faith, reasonable belief,” Westchester Supreme Court Justice Terry Jane Ruderman ruled on July 25, that alleged violations of patient confidentiality could have endangered patients. Rexhouse, the former director of the Bronxville college’s wellness center, sued Concordia, its president John A. Nunes and his wife Monique and other officials for $1 million in March. She claimed she was fired in retaliation for reporting violations of patient privacy rights by Monique Nunes. In 2017, according to the lawsuit, John Nunes appointed his wife as senior director of student experience, making her Rexhouse’s boss. Rexhouse is a licensed clinical social worker. Monique Nunes has a master’s degree in human resources man-
agement but has never been licensed as a health care practitioner in New York. Rexhouse claims Monique Nunes tried at least a half-dozen times to obtain or disclose confidential information about students seeking treatment at the wellness center. In one incident, she allegedly entered a hospital exam room and tried to speak to a distraught student who had disclosed past sexual abuse to a counselor at the wellness center. Rexhouse lodged a college whistleblower complaint last year. She was fired a few months later, in what she alleges was retaliation. Her lawsuit cites two causes of action under state labor laws that prohibit retaliation for whistleblowing and a claim of intentional infliction of emotional distress. Concordia asked the court to dismiss the claims. Ruderman agreed with Concordia in her analysis of one of the labor laws, ruling that Rexhouse had failed to show that the alleged wrong-
doing posed a substantial threat to the health or safety of the public at large. But the second statute offers greater protections to health care employees and Ruderman found in favor of Rexhouse. Disclosure of confidential patient information could present a significant threat to the health of a patient, the judge said. In a sexual abuse case, for instance, the patient could react in an extreme or dangerous manner. Ruderman dismissed the emotional distress claim. By invoking the whistleblower laws, Rexhouse had in effect waived her rights to sue for retaliation under other laws. Moreover, Ruderman said, citing previous rulings, an emotional distress claim must be based on “extreme and outrageous conduct” that goes “beyond all bounds of decency” and is “utterly intolerable in a civilized community.” Rexhouse’s allegations, Ruderman said, “fail to support such a claim.”
New Dover Group, luxury watch seller, files for bankruptcy
A
luxury watch dealer in Rockland County has filed for bankruptcy protection, blaming financial problems on a watchmaker for suddenly stopping the clock on their distribution deal. New Dover Group Ltd. of Valley Cottage filed a Chapter 11 reorganization petition July 8 in federal bankruptcy court in White Plains. New Dover Group had exclusive rights to sell Salvatore Ferragamo, Versace and Versus timepieces in the U.S. and the Caribbean for Vertime B.V., a Netherlands watchmaker. New Dover Group was assured that its distribution deal would be renewed in 2017, company owner and President Samuel Friedmann of Monsey stated in an affidavit. “This promise was not kept,” he said. Friedmann was born in Lugano, Switzerland, and began selling watches as a teenager, according to a company profile. He moved to New York in 1990. In 2001, he
bought Gevril, a Swiss watchmaker founded in 1743. By his account, Gevril grew to a $25 million business in 12 years. By then, New Dover had made a deal to distribute timepieces for Vertime, an affiliate of Timex Group USA of Middlebury, Connecticut. From 2010 through 2016, New Dover claimed in a 2017 lawsuit, it increased annual sales tenfold. But Vertime violated its exclusive distribution rights and undercut business, New Dover alleged, by “dumping” 35,000 watches at heavily discounted prices, in unauthorized sales to retailers such as Costco and online sellers. New Dover claimed that Vertime assured the company in late December 2016 that the distribution deal would be renewed. A few days later, “after six years and over $40 million in purchases,” Vertime terminated the arrangement. Vertime sued first, in federal court in White Plains, accusing New Dover of continuing to sell its timepieces after the
deal expired, using its trademarks, and failing to pay a debt of 2,500,000 Swiss francs. New Dover filed a counterclaim for $5.9 million, alleging that Vertime had breached the distribution deal by directly selling timepieces in its market. The case is pending. New Dover bankruptcy documents list a claim of $2.5 million to Vertime. Initially, New Dover declared assets of nearly $1 million and liabilities of $15.6 million. The liabilities included $6.1 million to JP Morgan Chase Bank, $5.2 million to M&T Bank and $2.6 million to “CBP,” Washington, D.C., in an apparent reference to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The CBP claim was listed as recently as a July 26 filing but was not included in Friedmann’s July 29 affidavit. The JPMorgan claim was reduced to $60,239 and total liabilities to $9.3 million. New Dover is represented by Joseph Balisok of Balisok & Kaufman PLLC in Brooklyn.
Ex-employees of AMA Labs in Rockland County plead guilty to rigging tests
T
wo former employees of AMA Laboratories Inc. have pleaded guilty to rigging results at the Rockland County consumer products testing business. U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman charged David Winne, the former lab technical director, and Mayya Tatsene, a supervisor, with conspiracy and wire fraud. Gabriel J. Letizia, sole shareholder of the New City lab, said in a July 31 press release that Winne formed two new companies after he posted bail and hired former AMA staff who had helped him defraud the company. “To add to this folly,”

AUGUST 12, 2019
the press release states, “their advertising byline reads ‘Ethical Testing’!!! Chutzpah, huh?” Winne and Tatsene ran human clinical trials with fewer panelists than specified by the lab’s clients, according to the criminal complaint, and then made false and misleading statements about test results in reports to the clients. The lab tests sunscreens and other cosmetics for safety and effectiveness. Winne, of Cold Spring, was hired in 1987 and left the company in May 2017, about six weeks after FBI agents and the Rockland County
WCBJ
District Attorney’s Office raided AMA offices and labs and seized records. A second search and seizure was done the following month. Letizia said in his press statement that Winne was fired. Winne allegedly participated in the scheme throughout his tenure at the lab and Tatsene allegedly participated from 2005 to 2017, according to the criminal complaint. Both conspired, according to the government, with “others known and unknown.” AMA sued Winne, Tatsene and three other employees in Westchester
Supreme Court in 2017, accusing them of essentially the same scheme. Winne managed the lab and supervised Tatsene, a Rockland resident. She supervised the repeat insult patch test, according to the complaint, in which paid volunteers were exposed to clients’ consumer products. AMA accused them of defrauding the company by using fewer test subjects than required and then pocketing compensation that was meant for the fictitious panelists. Winne said Tatsene did submit documents showing more panelists than the
number actually used, in his answer to the complaint. But he said Letizia “was fully aware of this practice since this was how he conducted the business of AMA for many years.” He claimed that Letizia “arrogated for himself ” the money that was falsely allocated to nonexistent panelists, and that AMA’s clients, not the company, were the victims. Letizia denied having any knowledge of Winne’s activities, according to his press release, and “continues to maintain his innocence.” Tatsene blamed Winne and three co-workers for
the irregularities, in her response to AMA’s lawsuit. The lawsuit is pending. Winne was arraigned in the criminal case May 23 and released on a $200,000 appearance bond. He is represented by Jeffrey A. Udell of Manhattan. Tatsene was arraigned May 29 and released on a $100,000 personal recognizance bond. She is scheduled for sentencing Sept. 5 by U.S. District Judge Vincent L. Briccetti. She is represented by David I. Goldstein of Chestnut Ridge. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Coffman is prosecuting the case.
IN BRIEF Greenburgh nixes Edgemont incorporation proposal for 2nd time BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN

A
petition for a referendum vote on making the hamlet of Edgemont into a village has been rejected by the town of Greenburgh. Greenburgh Town Supervisor Paul Feiner cited a number of reasons for denying the petition — the second to be filed by the Edgemont Incorporation Committee, following an unsuccessful bid in 2017 — including conflicting evidence over the boundaries for the proposed village and that many of the approximately 1,700 signatures could be considered outdated, as they were collected in 2017. Feiner said that it was possible some of those who signed the petition could

have changed their mind since, citing the existence of an opposition group, Keep Edgemont Inc. The Incorporation Committee blasted Feiner for using “his limited ministerial authority to adopt extreme and nonsensical interpretations of New York State law. In doing so, he is blocking his own constituents from voting on their preferred
form of self-governance, a troubling development for the 43,000 unincorporated area residents who pay the majority of Town taxes but represent a minority of the Town-wide electorate.” The group is evaluating its options, which could include filing a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court to challenge Feiner’s decision.
he problem Specialty Quality Packaging faced was reminiscent of the assembly line fiasco in a legendary 1952 “I Love Lucy” episode. Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance must quickly wrap chocolates as they come down a conveyor belt, but they are unable to keep up the pace. They begin tossing chocolates aside, popping them in their mouths and cramming candy in their clothing to hide the evidence of their failure. Specialty’s problem was the opposite: machines it bought to produce Chinese wire-handle takeout con-
tainers were too slow. “Unable to operate at the proper speed,” Specialty states in a lawsuit filed July 24 in Westchester Supreme Court, “the machines were moved off the plant floor and into storage, where they sit today as large and complex paperweights.” Specialty, an Elmsford company that sells food packaging, sued the machine maker, Modern Manufacturing Services LLC of Farmington, New York,
for $600,000. A Modern representative declined to respond to the allegations. In 2014, according to the complaint, a supplier notified Specialty that it would no longer provide Chinese takeout containers. Specialty decided to make the boxes itself, and paid Modern $600,000 to make four container-forming machines. Each machine had to produce at least 60 containers a minute. But when they were installed in 2016, Specialty alleges, “the machines sputtered and malfunctioned, failing to achieve an output rate anywhere close to the 60 per minute ‘guaranteed’ in the agreement.”

pumped money into Sally Sherman to keep it alive. Everything he put in that lawsuit is a lie.” UFS’ financial records have allegedly been manipulated to conceal its true profitability and to hide William’s conduct. UFS funds
have been transferred into and out of North Provisions Corp., a company William allegedly controls. UFS bank statements are sent to William’s home instead of company offices, the lawsuit states, to “conceal his diversion of UFS funds and assets, including one account believed to have held more than $1 million.” UFS’ reported annual gross sales declined by at least $6 million, from 2012 to 2016, according to the complaint. Felix charges William and Ace Endico with corporate waste, breach of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and unfair competition. UFS is named as a nominal defendant, but Felix also filed on behalf of UFS, as the only shareholder, he claims, who can protect its interests. “It’s disheartening,” William Endico said, “because he is ruining my reputation. I have an impeccable reputation and I’ve built a heck of a company and all these accusations are untrue.” Felix is represented by Steven R. Schoenfeld and Steven P.

on MacQuesten Parkway in Mount Vernon. William Endico left the family business in 1982, according to the lawsuit, and bought 60 percent of Ace Provisions, later renamed Ace Endico. It has grown into one of the largest independent food distributors in the region, from a facility in Brewster. UFS had used Ace’s fleet to deliver products and had allowed Ace to resell its products, but there was no conflict of interest, according to the complaint, because William had no role in UFS management or operations. That changed after their father, Michael Endico, UFS’ sole owner, died in 2010. In 2013, the brothers each inherited half of the family business. William had been appointed executor of the estate and named himself chief executive officer of the company. He ran the family business while also leading Ace.

One of the things I really love about my job is that it really comes down to making sure we’re providing an exceptional employment experience to our new people.

There are 19 full-time staff and more than 130 part timers, more than 95% of whom at one time attended the club. The club serves ages 3 through 18, with more than 70% of the youngsters in the club’s afterschool care programs living at or below the poverty level. About 700 people volunteer to help at the club, which also is a New York state licensed child-care facility. “Our responsibility is to ensure that we’re producing that product which is successful, happy, healthy, productive, caring kids for generations to come. The profitability component to make sure that it takes place certainly requires significant financial investment in the kids and programming and staffing and technology, reinvesting in your programming, reinvesting in your partnership, leveraging with community partners just as any business would,” Ozer said.

tionally and programmatically with the kids,” Ozer said. “One key differentiator from a business perspective in terms of programming is civic advocacy and leadership and teaching kids how to advocate on behalf of themselves and their communities,” Ozer said. “One of the programming opportu-
nities that we have especially for our teens is workforce development.” She explained that personnel from local corporations will volunteer to teach youngsters about financial responsibility, important environmental issues and the importance of diversity in the community and workplace. “Companies have an opportunity for their own employees to come to the club,” she said. “It helps the culture within those companies in terms of employee loyalty and retention, but it also helps the kids understand that large corporations and midsize privately held organizations are investing within our community to be sure that it remains strong.” Ozer is an attorney and worked in corporate real estate for 27 years. In 2008, she switched to philanthropy, managing the New York
City office of the American Cancer Society. She applies business management techniques, including the use of metrics-based evaluation and decision-making, to BGCNW. “Some key performance indicators that we would look at that demonstrate success for what our mission is would include the number of children that we serve and the impact and success of the programs,” Ozer said. “This past June marked the 10th anniversary whereby 100% of our high school seniors, including those designated at-risk, are going to either a university or technical school. That’s a pretty good indication that various programming that they were fortunate to receive enabled them to be competitive and go into secondary education. That would be a business-driven statistic demonstrating success of the programming.”

“We must be financially successful both from a financial perspective as well as being able to demonstrate to our donors, the community, the success and the impact of our mission, which is our kids.” Ozer said the BGCNW’s budget is about $4 million this year. It offers more than 40 programs and is affiliated with Boys & Girls Clubs of America but operated autonomously. “One of the benefits of being part of a national organization is the national reach and partnering capacity,” Ozer said. “I serve on two national committees: one is an advocacy committee and one is a substance-abuse prevention committee.” She explained that the national organization serves approximately 4.3 million youngsters and there are more than 4,000 local clubs. In New York state, 140,000 youngsters take part in a club. BGCNW has a Teen Center which presents a variety of programs focused on academic success, career preparation and commu-
nity service. For teens and other age groups there are programs offering sports and recreation, arts, crafts, music, dance, educational enrichment, healthy lifestyles and more. “We have a very, very robust aquatics program,” she said. “We have 270 athletes on our swim team, which is called the Marlins Swim Team and is very competitive.” The team has won the Boys & Girls Club National Championships every year since 2000. Ozer said many members of the board of directors have been involved with the organization for more than 20 years. The board president is Stuart Marwell, president and CEO of Curtiss Instruments based in Mount Kisco, who attended the club as a youngster and has been a board member for more than 28 years. “Board members are usually volunteering at the club for several years before they actually get involved with the board, so they really understand what’s going on opera-

Atria expansion proposal moves closer to vote in Ossining BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
A
proposal from Atria Senior Living to build three structures at its Atria on the Hudson senior living facility at 321 N. Highland Ave., Route 9, in Ossining is headed for a vote by the village’s Planning Board, possibly as early as its Aug. 27 meeting. The board continued its review of the proposal at its July 23 meeting, during which there was an indication that it might be in a position to act on siteplan approval and an environmental findings resolution as soon as the August meeting. Atria on the Hudson has 122 housing units for seniors in a 133,501-squarefoot building with several wings. It is located on 10.3 acres. Plans call for 39 units to be added, bringing the total to 161. Atria on the Hudson offers independent living, assisted living and memory care. Two three-story additions are proposed on the west side of the building and a one-story addition is proposed for the east side of the building. The east side addition would be built
where a walled garden is located. The additions would increase the gross floor area of the building by 35,984 square feet, bringing the total size of the complex to 169,485 square feet. There would be modifications to the existing parking lot, although no new spaces are proposed. A new fire access lane is to be constructed. Attorney Adam L. Wekstein of the White Plainsbased law firm Hocherman Tortorella & Wekstein LLP represented Atria before the board. He said the applicant has addressed concerns the board previously expressed, including concern about noise levels of building equipment affecting nearby residences. “We have submitted since last time some revised plans. We have retained an acoustical engineer who has looked at the equipment and indicated what new equipment should be installed to actually mitigate the sound problem,” he said. Nate Perna, associate partner of New York Citybased Longman Lindsey, one of the largest independent acoustical consultancy firms in the U.S. serving the construction industry, told the board, “We went out to

Atria to conduct some measurements, all around the property line. Right now what we’re proposing is a new cooling tower. What we did was take the sound data from the manufacturer and we’re projecting that to the nearest residence. The nearest is about 450 feet away from the proposed cooling tower location and the others are around 600 feet.” He said with what they’re planning the existing mechanical noise level will
be substantially reduced even with a larger building. Planning Board Chairman Michael Beldotti noted that over the years vegetation on the property has matured and also will help suppress noise. Mark Alexander, Atria’s executive vice president of redevelopment and construction, told the Business Journal from his office in Louisville, Kentucky, “We were trying to make the changes to the site as min-
imal as possible and also maximize the potential for views out to the Hudson River. Most of the apartments that we’re proposing to be added are facing out towards the Hudson and away from Route 9.” Alexander said they’re hoping to have the additional units up and running by the summer of 2021. “We hope to get this approved in the fall and then we would go to construction in the springtime
or early summer, and it would take us 18 months from there,” he said. Alexander said Atria considers the facility in Ossining and its other Westchester properties to be highly successful. “We think Westchester is a great community for expansion long term over the next five to 10 years and there are always possibilities to enhance our current communities as well,” he said. “We’ve become fairly active redevelopers over the last 10 years with a focus on New York and the Northeast and out west in California.” The Ossining site is large enough so that even with the new units Atria will be well within the required setbacks and no variances from the village of Ossining will be needed, Alexander said. “We have made the building a silver LEED building and it has a solar roof on it currently,” he said. “It has great amenities like a pool and a large fitness space and multiple dining venues, so we have a lot of amenities on-site and we have a nice walking path around the community on our 10 acres and we’ll be able to have that with this addition as well.”
DMV seeking another site BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
A
n application, which would have allowed the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles to move its White Plains office from the White Plains Mall to an office building at 3 Barker Ave. has been withdrawn. The owner of the office building, 3 Barker Avenue LLC, had asked the city to approve a government use permit that would have allowed the DMV to conduct government business in the office building. A public hearing that had been scheduled on the matter for the Aug. 5 Common Council meeting
was canceled as a result of the owner withdrawing its application for the permit. The White Plains Mall is to be demolished to make way for the $585 million Hamilton Green, which is to include four buildings with a total of 860 apartments, more than 85,000 square feet of retail and restaurants, 27,000 square feet devoted to coworking space, almost 1,000 parking spaces and a public park. Plans for a DMV office at 3 Barker Ave. included a first floor waiting area where people would have signed in, second-floor space with service windows and other areas for getting licenses, filing vehicle reg-

es on the third floor. Critics of the plan expressed concerns about parking availability and cost
and the extra activity, which would be taking place at the building, even though it was only a short distance from

the DMV’s current location at the mall. When asked by the Business Journal, a source at the DMV in Albany declined to identify other possible sites for relocation of its White Plains office, saying that the state’s Office of General Services (OGS) was responsible for the leasing of office space. Heather Groll, deputy commissioner of communications for OGS, told the Business Journal, “This contract solicitation is in the restricted period and, as such, OGS is not permitted to discuss it. The restricted period is the time between when a contract solicitation begins and when it is awarded.”

ASK ANDI Enduring customer relationships make money HOW DO WE STAY IN TOUCH WITH EXISTING CLIENTS? ONCE WE GET AN ORDER IT GETS TURNED OVER TO PEOPLE IN OUR OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT TO HANDLE EVERYTHING FROM CUSTOMER QUESTIONS TO DELIVERING ON TIME AND IN BUDGET. ONCE WE DELIVER, WE TEND TO MOVE ON TO FOCUS ON THE NEXT ORDER, AND CONSEQUENTLY WE LOSE TOUCH WITH PAST CUSTOMERS UNLESS THEY CONTACT US TO ORDER AGAIN. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CHANGE THAT? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Maintaining relations with past clients is very important, even though there’s no more work coming from those clients at the moment. People in operations probably have the best working relationships when work is completed. Great marketing strategy is to develop new products for old clients — get your folks in operations involved in figuring out what to do next with those old clients. Build a community that customers want to be involved with, even if they’re not active. Past customers are very
valuable to every business. They can teach your business about how well you’re doing at meeting customer needs. They can spark ideas about what to do next. And they’re a proven source of income. Many companies forget that it costs many times more to acquire a new customer than it does to circle back and sell something additional to someone who has already bought from you. Once your company has gotten through the door with sales, keeping that door open for future opportunities is everyone’s job. That includes folks who do the
work of satisfying customer needs by delivering products or services. Folks in operations tend to focus on what’s right in front of them and what’s coming next. Finish this order, get the next order ready to go out. That’s the normal order of things. After all, some would say, looking after customers for new orders — well, that’s sales and marketing, isn’t it? Yes and no. Think about who owns the relationship with customers. After working to get an order delivered correctly, customers often feel their greatest bond with the folks
in operations who stepped up to do the work and handle their questions. Their ties to sales and marketing often drop away once their request is transferred over to the operations people to fulfill. Past customers are often more likely to take a call from someone they’ve worked with most recently. There’s a lot of benefit to the operations department for following up with customers after they’ve taken delivery of their order. Operations may find out about a customer’s upcoming need and they certainly know how to best fit additional orders into their busy schedule. Customers can provide insight as to how the product or service was received and they can make suggestions on what else they need. That feedback can lead to valuable enhancements and
new product development, which operations is best positioned to understand and work on. It’s easy to stay in touch with customers if you think about building a user community. Connecting satisfied buyers with other satisfied buyers tends to multiply the good will customers feel toward your company. And often much of that goodwill is tied to how well operations served their past needs. Help operations people stay at the center of your customers’ focus by giving everyone a reason to connect. Invite customers to visit. Hold user conferences. Host a dinner. Put up a message board where everyone can communicate with your people and with each other. There are a thousand ways to stay in touch post-sale. Implement a few of them,
put your operations people front and center and watch the dollars multiply.

IBM: Average data breach costs U.S. companies $8.19M BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
I
BM, the Armonkheadquartered pioneer in information technology, has issued a new report examining the financial impact of what are among the hazards most feared by businesses, which rely on modern computer systems: data breaches. The 2019 report on the costs of data breaches was sponsored by IBM Security and researched by the Ponemon Institute in Traverse City, Michigan. Ponemon reached out to 507 companies around the world that suffered data breaches between July 2018 and April 2019 and conducted 3,211 separate interviews. Data breaches ranged from a low of 2,000 compromised records to
slightly more than 100,000 records. Numerous factors were examined such as legal, regulatory and technical costs, loss of brand equity, customer turnover and the drain on employee productivity. The study examined both accidental breaches and deliberate actions such as hacking. The report found that the average data breach involved 25,575 computer records. It found that on average it took a company 279 days to realize that its data had been hacked or otherwise compromised and take action dealing with the breach. Each affected computer record cost companies an average of $150, according to the report. The U.S. had the highest average cost of a data breach per company of $8.19 million, compared with an average worldwide cost per
company of $3.92 million. The health care industry had the highest cost of all industries studied at $6.45 million per data breach, about 60% higher than the average of the other industries. Seventeen industries were examined, such as transportation, communication, pharmaceuticals and hospitality. When IBM began reporting on the costs of data breaches in 2006, the average impact on a U.S. business was $3.54 million. The report said the cost figures of data breaches, which were studied do not apply to catastrophic mega data breaches, such as those which affect major collectors of data such as Equifax or Facebook. The study found that small and midsize businesses suffered the worst financial consequences from data breaches when viewed
in the context of their financial situations. The average loss for companies with fewer than 500 employees was $2.5 million per breach, quite significant in view of the study categorizing these businesses as having annual revenues of less than $50 million. This is the 14th year IBM has issued the report and for the first time it examines the longer-term impacts of a data breach. While an average 67% of data breach costs were handled in the first year after the breach, 22% accrued in the second year with another 11% accumulating more than two years after the breach took place. Malicious attacks, such as hacking via the internet, cost companies an average of $4.45 million, which was an average of $1 million more than the cost of data breaches resulting from
system problems or human error. These inadvertent breaches were responsible for about 49% of the losses. Having automated security technologies in place was a cost saver, according to the report, with the average cost of a breach being cut to about $2.65 million. If a company made extensive use of encryption, the total cost of a data breach was cut by about $360,000. The report said an organization’s ability to respond effectively after a data breach is strengthened by the presence of an incident response (IR) team that follows a plan. Cost savings are produced when there has been extensive testing of the IR plan. Organizations conducting extensive testing of an IR plan had breach costs that were $1.23 million less than the costs faced by other organizations.
WCBJ
The 2019 report showed that a business is more likely to experience a data breach today than it would have been in 2014. Back then, an organization had a 22.6% chance of experiencing a data breach within a twoyear period. In 2018, that increased to a 27.9% chance. “Cybercrime represents big money for cybercriminals and unfortunately that equates to significant losses for businesses,” said IBM’s Wendi Whitmore, the global leader for IBM X-Force Incident Response and Intelligence Services. “With organizations facing the loss or theft of over 11.7 billion records in the past three years alone, companies need to be aware of the full financial impact that a data breach can have on their bottom line and focus on how they can reduce these costs.”

Traditional competencies remain highly valued in a STEM world
E
arning a liberal arts degree is a pathway to financial and personal success. As the dean of the Dyson College of Arts and Sciences at Pace University, parents often ask me what the future will hold for a student in our majors. My response is always positive. Liberal arts programs are relevant to today’s job market. They provide students with multiple opportunities to learn how to synthesize, reflect and critically analyze situations; be innovative, creative and collaborative; think deeply about the human context; as well as devise solutions to problems — skills that are transferable to every field of employment. Liberal arts majors are successfully employed across all industry sectors and many rise to the
C-suite, often with a graduate degree in hand. The liberal arts form the core of most general education requirements since every engineer, financial analyst, software developer, program analyst, scientist, business or technology manager, or CEO must possess these skills to be effective. At Pace University, our programs uniquely blend theoretical learning in the classroom with real-world experiences, through internships, research collaborations, civic engagement and cocurricular activities where students sharpen their interpretive, analytical and contextual skills, regardless of their major. They learn how to think. A recent study, “How Liberal Arts and
Science Majors Fare in Employment,” conducted by the Association of American Colleges and Universities and the National Center for Higher Education Management Systems, found that at peak earning ages, graduates with a bachelor’s degree in humanities or social sciences earn more than those with professional or preprofessional degrees. In addition, liberal arts programs were found to provide a solid foundation for long-term employment and career success. The report compares earnings trajectories and career pathways for liberal arts majors with those majoring in science and mathematics, engineering, and professional or preprofessional fields like business or education.

The successful outcomes for Pace alumni and students demonstrate the value of the liberal arts as found in this study. In recent years, more than 100 Westchester companies have employed Pace’s liberal arts students and alumni in jobs and internships. Our alumni are working for the Westchester County Department of Labs and Research, Westchester Medical Center, Westchester County District Attorney’s Office and New York Life Insurance Company. Our students participated in hundreds of internships at companies such as RNN, NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, the Better Business Bureau and Cintas Corporation, where they have put theory to practice as part of their Pace Path, a program that integrates in-class and experiential learning throughout a student’s time at Pace. Family Services of Westchester, United States Federal Probation and St. Vincent’s Hospital have offered full-time jobs to Pace liberal arts interns. Our liberal arts students and alumni give back to the Westchester community in a big way. Through Dyson College’s civic engagement courses, students get firsthand experiences serving the needs of the community and develop an appreciation of their ability to work with others to bring about positive outcomes in a democratic society. The richness of the experience cannot be overstated. Since 2016, 550 liberal arts students have participated in giving back to the Westchester community through this unique learning experience. In a testament to how impactful these courses are, some of our students have completed more than one course, further amplifying the commitment they have to Westchester. Dyson’s Media, Commun-ications, and Visual Arts (MCVA) Department is a prime example of one of our leading-edge liberal arts programs that blends classroom learning with practical experience. Every MCVA major (Communications, Public Relations, Digital Journalism and Digital Cinema and Filmmaking) takes courses in communications, social media, content development, storytelling and writing. They also get hands-on experience with video and camera equipment, video editing, editing and inserting graphics on the fly during live broadcasts through our on-campus facilities, which include a recording studio, a TV studio with a complete three-camera setup, TelePrompTers, news desk and tri-caster. Every student completes an internship, with most completing two or three, after discovering where their interests in media lie. Students have had internships with networks such as NBC, CBS, The CW and CNN, among others, and are prepared to enter the field by creating a reel of tangible work while completing their degree.

Older adults and technology, a contradiction in terms or lifesaver?
T
here is something intangibly profound about the real impact that assistive technology can have on older adults. To the average person, assistive technology is not something they have experience with — but later in life, most of us will likely require the use of technology to improve our quality of life. In 2016, the U.S. Census found that citizens over 65 years of age increased to 16 percent of the population from 12 percent in 2000, and is projected to keep increasing as the baby boomer generation ages and medical technologies advance. This equates to a population of nearly 50 million people — they are our parents, grandparents, friends and relatives — and they rely on assistive technology every day. From walkers and wheelchairs to canes and shower chairs, the benefits of assistive technology give older men and women the ability to walk, to wash themselves, to navigate their homes and communities and to remain as independent as possible. An elderly grandmother traveled to visit her family for an extended stay and found many areas inaccessible. Her family decided to visit the Assistive Technology
Loan Program at the Westchester Institute for Human Development and explore all the free options of possible supports that were available. With the help of a shower chair, she was able to bathe herself with ease. With the help of additional railings, she was able to navigate the stairs in her family’s home. With the help of modified utensils, she was able to cut and eat her own food. Assistive technology not only helped her with her self-care needs — she was also provided with a walker, which allowed her to walk anywhere she wanted, easily. She woke up every day excited. She navigated up the stairs, found her walker waiting at the top and walked outside every morning where she would grab a broom and gleefully sweep the fallen leaves off the home’s side porch. After her two grandchildren returned from school on the bus every afternoon, she was already waiting for them. The children would put the leash on their dog and all of them would walk up the street to the nearby golf course, where they would spend an hour wandering. Being able to walk through the fresh, autumn air, she was able to see the leaves
change color and she was able to do so with her grandchildren at her side — a memory she cherished until the end of her life. Assistive technology gave this grandmother the ability to walk when she was no longer comfortably able to do so alone, and because of that it allowed her to create memories with her family. For older adults, assistive technology enables them to live happier lives. In the U.S., 7 percent of adults suffer from depression, but in the older populations, above 65, that percentage is nearly 20 percent, higher for those who have complicated medical histories. The National Institutes of Health urges older people to partake in daily exercise and maintain contact with their families to combat depression. Assistive technology can give older adults increased mobility, and it can also allow them to better communicate with their families using modified cellphones or tablets. The Assistive Technology Program at the Westchester Institute for Human Development has helped many people, but through its senior loan program, they have improved the quality of life of older adults sig-
nificantly by providing them with life-changing technology. Families, service providers and individuals can contact the AT program with questions about scheduling appointments, or general information about services offered. The loan program provides a free service to seniors who require assistive technology, in the hope that their lives may be improved. As Izel Obermeyer, the director of the Assistive Technology Program, states, “assistive technology is a service that everyone must be aware of, because at one time or another in their life they may need our help. The devices that we have modified for our clients have without a doubt improved their lives, and it is something we continue to strive for every day.” Alexander Steinmann is a pre-med student at the University of Washington, majoring in English and graduating in 2020. He worked at WIHD as a high school intern and then as an employee in the Assistive Technology Program for the past two summers. For general AT inquiries contact atp@ wihd.org or 914-493-1317.

Regeneron is teaming up with the Westchester Parks Foundation to “adopt” Blue Mountain Reservation in Peekskill, located on Welcher Avenue. The Adopt-A-Park program is run by the Westchester Parks Foundation and provides public and corporate involvement in the maintenance, improvement and support of the nearly 18,000-acre Westchester County park system. By
adopting a park, a group commits to enhance and maintain a designated park within the county park system through clean-up efforts, trail maintenance, tree plantings, weeding and any other approved projects, which would enhance the beauty of the park. The adopter must complete at least 120 hours of service per year in the adopted park. Regeneron volunteers from its Tar-
rytown corporate office completed the first service project on July 19: revitalizing the Blue Mountain Sportsman Center by installing a new fence, repairing partition walls, painting and removing all debris from the range. They also completed tasks at Blue Mountain Preserve, including removing aquatic invasive species, installing grills, mulching as well as completing trail maintenance.
MORE THAN HALF MILLION IN GRANTS AWARDED IN 2019
BRIGHT FUTURE FOR HIGGINS WITH ABILITY BEYOND When Jack Higgins accepted his Carmel High School diploma on June 20 at Western Connecticut State University, he had no idea the video showing his completely silent classmates would become a worldwide sensation. School Principal Lou Riolo had asked the crowd to refrain from clapping or cheering to respect Jack’s sensory processing differences. The 21-year-old with autism cannot tolerate loud noises but was able to proudly walk across the stage escorted by his brothers Patrick and Bryan thanks to everyone’s quiet support. Now Jack is taking the next steps toward his future through the unique Day Program at Ability Beyond in Chappaqua, which helps individuals with developmental disabilities discover their strengths and learn the skills necessary to obtain meaningful employment. “Ability Beyond has more than 15 work-readiness sites that are open to individuals in our day program,” explained Jane Davis, president and CEO of Ability Beyond. The Ability Beyond Day Program provides experiences and activities that are stimulating and encourage good physical and cognitive health for each participant. Ability Beyond is headquartered in Chappaqua and Bethel, Connecticut. It provides a wide range of services for more than 3,000 people with a disability that inhibits their activities of daily living.

Phelps Hospital’s Emergency Department achieved Level 3 Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation (GEDA), from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) with support from the Gary and Mary West Health Institute and John A. Hartford Foundation. The accreditation process was led by Narissa Joyner, M.D., Alayna Davis, RN, and a team of interdisciplinary leaders at Phelps in Sleepy Hollow, a part of the Northwell Health System. The GEDA program is a voluntary program that recognizes emergency departments that provide noteworthy and outstanding care for older adults.
$2.25M GIFT KEEPS COLLEGE PROGRAMS IN POUGHKEEPSIE SCHOOLS Family members and friends of a recently deceased Vassar College alumnus have announced they will donate $2.25 million to the college to help support Vassar’s educational programs in the Poughkeepsie City School District. The bulk of the money will ensure the continuation of the Vassar College Urban Education Initiative (VCUEI), which provides tutors, mentors and other assistance for the city’s elementary and secondary school students, for the next decade. The program was launched in 2004. The gift, which is contingent on $1.25 million in matching donations, was announced by Propel Capital, a New York-based social impact investment firm, and family and friends of Daniel Mindich ‘87, an educator who died in a swimming accident near his home in Honolulu in 2014. Mindich, who earned master’s and doctorate degrees in education from Stanford University following his graduation from Vassar, was an English and history teacher at Punahou School, a K-12 school in Honolulu.

YONKERS’ TIBBETTS BROOK PARK TO BE REVITALIZED
Cleaning up Tibbetts Brook Park in Yonkers.
The Westchester Parks Foundation (WPF) has launched a lake revitalization project at Tibbetts Brook Park in Yonkers. The 10day effort will use a specially designed mechanical harvester to clear the 10-acre lake of invasive species, including thousands of water chestnut plants. This initial step is part of a planned effort to sustain the lake over the course of the next few years and ultimately restore it to its original state. The work is made possible by a grant from Xylem Inc, a global water tech-
nology provider located in Rye Brook, and G.A. Fleet. It is the beginning of a longterm partnership between the two organizations whose mutual goal encompasses the health of parks and waterways. Once the mechanical harvesting is complete, 40 volunteers from Xylem and G.A. Fleet will manually clean up hardto-reach areas on the edges of the lake. Through Xylem Watermark, Xylem’s Corporate Citizenship program, their mission is to provide and protect safe water re-
sources for communities around the world and educate people about water issues. Headquartered in Rye Brook, with 2018 revenue of $5.2 billion, Xylem does business in more than 150 countries through a number of market-leading product brands G.A. Fleet and its service company, Fleet Pump, is a 60-year-old, Westchester-based company, providing and servicing water infrastructure equipment for the New York City metropolitan area.
