southern California-based company has turned a nearly 11-acre Irvington property into a residential eating disorder treatment center said to be the only one of its kind in the state. Monte Nido & Affiliates owns centers in California, Oregon, Massachusetts and Manhattan specializing in treatment for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and exercise addiction. After receiving its license from the state Office of Mental Health in late October, Monte Nido Irvington this month welcomed its first four patients to a 23-room mansion at 100 S. Broadway. Carolyn Costin, the company’s founder who herself recovered from an eating disorder, opened the first center in 1996 in Malibu, Calif. Monte Nido translates as “mountain nest.” The new Irvington center admits female clients 18 and older in need of urgent and around-the-clock treatment. Patients live in the approximately 10,000-square-foot mansion, which can house up to 14 women at a time. Other eating disorder treatment centers and hospitals in New York offer partial hospitalization and outpatient programs, said Douglas Bunnell, a Monte Nido owner and the company’s national clinical development officer, who oversees the New York and Massachusetts programs and all staff training. No other facility in New York offers live-in, full-time care in a domestic setting, he said. “Really, between Boston and Philly there wasn’t a residential option for adolescents or young adults, so families were having to travel,” Bunnell said. Monte Nido opened its newest facility to fill that gap. Many patients at its West Coast facilities were from the East Coast and the company believed the Irvington facility would be a “desired resource,” he said. After almost a year of looking at housIrvington, page 2

es in northern Westchester and western Connecticut, Monte Nido closed in May on its $6.45 million purchase of the property, long known to Irvington residents as the Murray-Griffin estate. The buyer brought in Centre Partners, a private equity firm, to invest in the facility, Bunnell said. The Irvington village board of trustees in December unanimously approved Monte Nido’s use of the 100 S. Broadway property, which last served as a family home after many years without an occupant. The design of the estate and its proximity to the Metro-North Railroad and Westchester County Airport for staff and clients attracted Monte Nido to the property, Bunnell said. Over the summer the house underwent minimal renovations, which included adding a fire sprinkler system, an additional bathroom and paint to make the color scheme consistent with the company’s other homes across the country. Bunnell said Monte Nido’s owners “fell in love” with the natural serenity of the Irvington property, which he said can help ease patients who often feel anxious and over-stimulated. In addition to the mansion, the property has the historic Odell Tavern, built in 1693, a barn, a garden, a pool and an unobstructed view of the Hudson River from the windows of many of the therapy rooms and patient bedrooms. “Part of the treatment is helping people to develop ways to settle themselves that don’t involve eating disorder behaviors,” Bunnell said. “I think somehow being in a more natural setting facilitates that. Being in a noninstitutional setting facilitates that. This doesn’t feel like a hospital or a business setting, it feels more residential and domestic in some ways.” The program is also less medical than a hospital, as it focuses on helping clients with the psychological issues that cause their disorder, Bunnell said. Clients participate in individual, family and group therapy. They learn coping skills to manage the emotions, thoughts and behaviors associated with their eating disorders. As they progress in treatment, Bunnell said, they are challenged to face common tasks they struggle with, such as shopping for food, preparing meals and buying clothes. “As beautiful as it is and as serene as it is, it’s actually a very hard place to be because people are really confronting and being gently pushed to confront the things that they struggle with,” he said. “It’s not a vacation; actually a lot of very hard work goes on here.” Monte Nido employs more than 20 staff

members to treat all aspects of eating disorders. They include psychologists, mental health workers, social workers, nurses, nutritionists and a chef who prepares food on site for supervised meals. The center has a staff trainer and a yoga teacher to help women develop healthy exercise routines. Bunnell said a patient’s average cost differs according to the insurance benefits they have and the length of time they stay in treatment. “Everyone is different,” he said. Monte Nido has contracts with several insurance companies and will try to reach coverage agreements with other insurers on behalf of individual patients, according to the company’s website. “Sometimes there are good faith disagreements,” with insurers, Bunnell said. There is no fixed length of stay for women receiving treatment at Monte Nido facilities, Bunnell said. They leave when they can adequately manage their own nutrition and their weight has increased, he said. Then they are referred back to their own health care providers. Bunnell said Monte Nido would like to
open the facility to men, an underserved and underrecognized population in the field of eating disorder treatment. He said the historic tavern on the grounds could house male clients. He joked that men might enjoy the billiard room in the basement of the mansion, which has been turned into an art room, although the original flannel carpet and wood paneling remain. Bunnell said he wants to build relationships with the community. He plans to hire students in health training programs at area universities as interns. The staff also will hold a monthly peer consultation group with other providers and specialists to give presentations, do training and foster collaboration. Aside from Irvington residents’ concerns about traffic, parking and preserving the historic tavern, Bunnell said many have been supportive about what Monte Nido will contribute to the village. “Our response and welcome from the professional community has been just outstanding,” he said. “We had a nice experience coming to this area.”

Developer slices condo numbers for Brynwood Golf Club BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com

rynwood Partners LLC has drastically scaled back its plans to build housing units that would turn Brynwood Golf & Country Club into a golf community. The course’s owners submitted a preliminary final environmental impact statement at the North Castle Town Board meeting Nov. 5. The statement details plans to build 80 housing units, including seven affordable housing units, 10 “golf cottages” and 63 condominiums. Attorney Mark Weingarten, who represents Brynwood Partners, said the proposed condos and golf cottages would be taxed like single-family homes. Previous iterations of the plan have included as many as 243 housing units on the golf course property. “This has been a very long and complex process,” Weingarten told the Town Board. “We’re looking to preserve the Brynwood Country Club by creating a first-class luxury neighborhood surrounding it.” Weingarten said that if another location could be found for the seven affordable housing units, they would be built elsewhere and replaced with condos. Additionally, the
owners of the country club proposed that the owners of the condos pay property taxes at a rate comparable to what would be paid by single-family homes. Built in 1961, the Brynwood club was previously known as the Canyon Club. The course was owned by Mitsubishi and primarily used by the company’s executives. Brynwood Partners LLC bought the course in December 2009 after it fell into financial distress due to dwindling membership. Since buying the club, Brynwood Partners has reinvested millions of dollars into the course and hired Arizona-based golf club operator Troon Privé to manage the club’s facilities. The 65,000-square-foot clubhouse was renovated and the club has started to financially rebound, Weingarten said at the meeting. “They were successful and they’ve built it up to 400 members, half of which are North Castle residents. We think they’ve created an asset worth preserving for this community,” Weingarten said. But, Weingarten said, private golf clubs can’t survive on just golf, activities and dining anymore. “Unfortunately, we believe that it’s not enough to have long-term success,”
Weingarten told the board. “The fact of the matter is that the golf course world has gotten worse. If we’re going to be successful in having this club succeed in Armonk and be here for years to come, we need to create a better course with better facilities.” The addition of housing units would create a community targeting empty nesters that would enable Brynwood Partners to reinvest the proceeds from the sale of the condos and golf cottages in the course. As the project moves forward, the developers will place funds in escrow and the town will refer the preliminary final environmental impact statement out to its consultants. After the consultants report back to the board, public hearings will be opened regarding Brynwood Partners’ request to amend the town’s comprehensive plan, add special-use permit language to the town code and qualify the property for the special use. Reached by email, Brynwood Partners LLC said, “We appreciate that the Town Board has decided to review our revised FEIS and we look forward to working with them.” Brynwood isn’t the only course in Westchester County seeking to build con-
dominiums and use the sale of the housing units to support the golf course. In January, Hampshire Country Club in Mamaroneck unveiled its plan to build 121 luxury condominiums in a 290,000-squarefoot cluster that would have included a 200space underground parking garage. The village shot down that proposal a month later due to community worries about increased traffic and environmental concern in an area prone to flooding. A second, scaleddown proposal by Hampshire was also denied by Mamaroneck’s elected officials. In response, Hampshire sued the town, seeking $55 million in damages. While Westchester County is the birthplace of golf in the United States and home to some of the country’s most historic courses, a downturn in the game’s popularity among younger adults and the expense of the sport in general has hit private clubs hard in recent years. “We’re losing money every month totaling into the millions of dollars. It’s unsustainable,” Weingarten, speaking for Brynwood Partners, told the Town Board. “If we want to sustain (the golf club), we need the housing. We have no other alternative.”

Business Council welcomes Westchester Knicks, Astorino
From left, The Madison Square Co.’s Allan Houston, Tad Smith and Al Trautwig share the spotlight at The Business Council of Westchester’s annual dinner.
BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com
T
he Business Council of Westchester’s annual dinner recently offered a rousing “welcome home” to the county’s defeated — but still quipping — candidate for governor and an orange-and-blue-colored welcome, too, for the council’s new member business bringing a new game to town. In a banquet hall festooned with orange and blue balloons — the colors of the New York Knicks and The Madison Square Garden Co.’s White Plains startup, the Westchester Knicks — about 600 Business Council members and guests gave a standing ovation Nov. 6 to County Executive Robert P. Astorino in the wake of his defeat in the gubernatorial election by another Westchester resident, Democratic incumbent Andrew Cuomo. “What if I got 51 percent?” Astorino mused in response to the sustained applause for a Republican candidate who received about 41 percent of the statewide vote in a race widely expected to be a more resounding slam dunk for Cuomo. Perhaps hinting at another bid for the governor’s seat in 2018, Astorino, at an event replete with basketball-themed trappings and allusions from a lineup of speakers, chose to quote Babe Ruth to describe his own loss at the polls: “Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.” The county executive noted he won 46 of New York’s 62 counties in the election. “The problem is, the ones I won have the population of Pound Ridge. The ones that Cuomo won, five of them have the name New York City,” he said, referring to the five boroughs. Returning to his governing duties at home, Astorino told his business audience there will be no increase in the county tax levy for the fifth consecutive year of his administration. A budget-minded Astorino noted that Westchester County’s official colors are the same as the Knicks, whose new NBA Development League affiliate, the Westchester Knicks, will play home games at the County Center in White Plains. “So we save on paint”

at the team’s new home, he said. The county will save, too, on upgrading equipment for the County Center court. Former Knicks All-Star Allan Houston, who now works for the team owner, The Madison Square Garden Co., as Knicks assistant general manager and as general manager of the Westchester Knicks, said MSG will bring its own playing floor and scoreboard to the county facility. Houston and Tad Smith, president and CEO of The MSG Co., were interviewed before a packed banquet-hall crowd at the Westchester Marriott in Tarrytown by Al Trautwig, longtime sports commentator at MSG Network. Asked by Trautwig what the Westchester Knicks will look like, Houston quickly replied, “I hope it looks like this room tonight.” While training team members to become both better professional players and better people, Houston said, the Knicks also will use their Development League affiliate “as a training ground here for new metrics, for new mechanics” to help young players develop. Smith, a Westchester resident, said the county is “key to our future” as the home of the D-League team and the Madison Square Garden Training Center in the town of Greenburgh. “Westchester is really special,” Smith said. “It’s the crown jewel of the southern part of New York state and really for all of the metro area.” Asked what his greatest challenge is as MSG CEO, Smith said it was the same as that of many other business executives in the audience: “Attracting, developing and retaining really outstanding talent.” Business Council President and CEO Marsha Gordon in her annual address said the county’s largest business organization added 160 new members this year. They include the Westchester Knicks. Gordon announced the Business Council will move its headquarters in March to the RPW Group’s 800 Westchester Ave. in Rye Brook from 108 Corporate Park Drive in Harrison.

Westchester biotech companies report strong quarters BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com
T
hree Westchester County biotechnology companies announced positive financial results for the third quarter. Ardsley-based Acorda Therapeutics Inc. posted earnings well above what Wall Street analysts expected, while Greenburgh-based drug companies Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Progenics Pharmaceuticals Inc. also posted a profit for the three-month period ending Sept. 30. Acorda’s adjusted earnings came to 65 cents per share on revenue of $106 million in the quarter, exceeding analysts’ forecasts. Wall Street had expected $95 million, according to Zacks Investment Research. A Nasdaq-traded company, Acorda develops and markets drugs for patients with neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis, spinal cord and brain injuries, stroke and epilepsy. The recent $525 million all-cash acquisition of Civitas Therapeutics is expected to propel Acorda into the international market for Parkinson’s disease therapy. The progressive neurodegenerative disorder afflicts approximately 1 million people in the U.S. and 7 million to 10 million people worldwide, Acorda officials said. Progenics announced $37 million in earnings for the third quarter, which amounts to 51 cents per share, on $41.7 million in revenue. The company for the same period in 2013 reported a net loss of $10.5 million, or 17 cents per diluted share. Net income for the first nine months of this year was $16.6 million or 24 cents per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $34 million or 63 cents per diluted share in 2013. Progenics has a market capitalization of approximately $456 million. Earlier this year, Progenics announced its injectable drug Relistor was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in patients with opioid-induced constipation who take opioid painkillers for chronic pain not related to cancer. The drug, which was developed with Raleigh, N.C.-based Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd., does not reduce the efficacy of the patients’ pain medication, according to a company press release. Approximately 40 percent of chronic pain patients, or nearly 11 million patients, on opioid therapy experience opioidinduced constipation, and Relistor is the
first approved medication that specifically targets the underlying cause of the constipation, the company said. Regeneron reported third-quarter adjusted earnings of $2.23 per share for the third quarter, up from $2.13 per share in the third quarter of 2013. Earnings were above the Zacks consensus estimate of $2.10 per share. The company’s total revenue in the quarter increased 22 percent from the same quarter in 2013, to $726 million, driven by strong sales of the injectable eye drug Eylea.

cation’s Top Employer’s Survey for the third consecutive year. Regeneron has a market capitalization of approximately $39.9 billion, and its stock price has risen more than 65 percent since the start of the year. Regeneron announced in September that dupilumab, a drug it is developing with Paris-based Sanofi, met all primary and secondary endpoints in a phase 2 trial for patients with moderate to severe chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps. The drug also is being tested for use against two allergic conditions, atopic dermatitis and asthma. The FDA in September designated Eylea as a breakthrough therapy to treat diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetic macular edema.

family of a colleague who had died in a motorcycle accident. He told Boran he would be sending the man’s death certificate to the Tuckahoe office, headquarters since 2012 of the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation (MCLEF). The victim had one child. Once the death certificate arrived, Susan H. Boulhosa, the nonprofit’s part-time executive director and only paid employee, would begin a process that has benefited thousands of children of parents who have died while serving in the Marine Corps or as federal law enforcement officers. Usually within four to six weeks, the surviving parent will be notified that a $30,000 bank account has been established in their child’s name at Merrill Edge, an investment division of Bank of America. The foundation’s deposits are intended to assist in financing children’s college education and can be used when they turn 18. “They’re encouraged to use it for their higher education,” said Boulhosa, “but we really don’t have ownership at that point.” The foundation is looking to develop a database to track recipients and how they used the money, she said. “We’ve helped 3,400 children over the last 19 years,” Boran said. This year the foundation has made about $2.2 million in contributions, with 24 children still scheduled to receive aid, he said. Boran stressed that more
INBRIEF MANCINI REALTY JOINS WESTCHESTER TRADE GROUP Mancini Realty in Somers has joined Westchester Real Estate Inc., an Eastchesterbased trade organization of independently owned real estate firms in the region. The Somers real estate brokerage was founded in 1995 by principal Richard Mancini, a homebuilder and developer in northern Westchester, and his wife and business partner, Joan Mancini. The company has grown to include 12 licensed real estate agents and markets and sells all types of homes throughout northern Westchester and Putnam counties. “We are very excited about all the tools, resources, ideas and shared knowledge that being a part of this organization brings to our firm,” Joan Mancini said in the announcement from Westchester Real Estate Inc. “The Westchester Real Estate

than 98 percent of donations received by the foundation is used to aid those children and families it serves. “Now we’re approaching $64 million” in total donations, Boulhosa said. Of that total, about $38 million has gone to Marine Corps families, she said. “In the Benghazi incident,’ said Boulhosa, referring to the 2012 attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Libya that killed the American ambassador and a Foreign Service officer, “we took care of four of the children.” Closer to home, MCLEF opened $30,000 scholarship accounts for three children of Peter Becerra, a criminal investigator with the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office who died of cancer in 2012. At the time of his death, Becerra had been working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation on assignment to a joint terrorism task force. Although the number of scholarships rose at the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the aid is not limited to children of active-duty Marines who died in combat. “You’d be surprised how many Marines die in car accidents or motorcycle accidents or other incidents around the globe,” Boran said. The foundation in recent years has expanded its mission to provide medical equipment and financial support to Marines severely wounded in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and to children of active-duty Marines with mental or physical disabilities. Boran said more than 200 Segways, the two-wheeled electric vehicles, were given by
the foundation to disabled Marines, some of whom have been helped too by its purchases of wheelchair-accessible ramps. The retired FBI agent answered the ringing phone again. The caller was seeking the foundation’s help in a buying a child’s cranial band. Though recommended by physicians, the equipment is not an expense covered by government insurance. The helmets are worn by infants born with deformed heads and the treatment typically requires three helmets as the child grows, Boran said. At $2,500 a helmet, even after a military discount, “It’s about seven and-half thousand,” said Boran. “When you’re only making $24,000 a year, it becomes a major discussion” for military families. A Marine veteran of the Vietnam War and Bronx native, Boran joined the FBI soon after leaving military service in 1970. He was assigned to the same squad as James K. Kallstrom, another former Marine who became head of the FBI’s New York office as an assistant director of the agency and who would be called from retirement to serve as Gov. George Pataki’s counterterrorism chief in the aftermath of 9/11. Boran and Kallstrom soon discovered the FBI, like most federal law enforcement agencies, included many Marine veterans in its ranks. They formed the FBI-Marine Corps Association, a group that led to the creation of the current foundation and is now being “resurrected” at the FBI office in New York City, which currently employs 100 former Marines, Boran said.
The Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation was created in 1995. Kallstrom, its founding chairman, continues to head its board of directors. Its mission to aid the children of Marines is an extension of the Corps’ “leave no man behind” motto, Boulhosa said. About two months after the foundation’s start, the deadly bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City by domestic terrorists launched it into action. Given national prominence by conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh, MCLEF was flooded with donations from Americans, many of whom were children sending in their saved dimes and pennies, Boulhosa said. The foundation distributed 32 scholarships totaling $260,300 to children of federal employees who were among the 168 victims killed in the bombing. Boulhosa said the foundation has done no marketing until recently and largely relies on individual donors and 12 annual fundraisers held around the country to fund its mission. “There’s not a large amount of corporate involvement,” Boulhosa said. “It’s something we’re trying to look to expand on.” The bulk of the foundation’s income is raised at its all-volunteer events, topped by its annual Semper Fidelis Gala at The Waldorf-Astoria. “And we have a tremendous loyal following of people who send $25 a month and family foundations who find out about us,” Boulhosa said. “The biggest thing is getting the word out. Once people know about us, they love us,” she said.
members think and work like we do, with professionalism, pride and integrity. It’s a great fit.” Gail Fattizzi, executive director of Westchester Real Estate Inc., said the trade group represents about 250 licensed agents in 11 offices in Westchester County and Manhattan. Member firms in Westchester also include Bronxville Real Estate in Bronxville, ERA Insite Realty in White Plains and Yonkers, Four Seasons Real Estate Center in Mount Vernon, Peter J. Riolo Real Estate in Hastings-on-Hudson, Tri-Crest Realty in Eastchester, J. Philip Real Estate in Briarcliff Manor, Pelham and Mahopac, and Platinum Drive Realty in Scarsdale.

The MacQuesten Cos. includes MacQuesten Construction Management LLC and MacQuesten Development LLC. It specializes in financing, design and construction management of affordable multifamily housing and commercial properties, which are then privately held by affiliated companies. Since 1992, the company has developed 11 buildings and 1,500 units of affordable housing in New York City and Westchester County. It is currently the developer of Heritage Homes in New Rochelle, a threephase, $72 million, 228-unit housing project in partnership with the New Rochelle Municipal Housing Authority. The only child of general contractor Sabino Fogliano, owner of the former
Sabin Construction Co. in Mount Vernon, Rella Fogliano began working part time at her father’s company at 17 and joined the firm full time in 1983 after graduating from Fordham University. Fogliano formed MacQuesten General Contracting Inc. following her father’s retirement in 1988 and in the early 1990s began to develop properties that the company had acquired, focusing on the Bronx, where she found a significant shortage of affordable housing. She founded The MacQuesten Cos. in 2003. The companies have built a portfolio of more than $140 million dollars in completed projects. Over the next five years, The MacQuesten Cos. will have more than $200 million in construction projects and developments throughout the five boroughs and Westchester County, according to the company spokesperson.
Rachel Fee, executive director of the New York Housing Conference, in the awards announcement cited Fogliano’s “passion for creating transformative affordable housing and commitment to improving the lives of her residents.” “In many ways, The MacQuesten Cos. is Rella Fogliano: hardworking, collaborative, detail-oriented, creative and supportive,” Fee said.

the Chase logo will appear on the center court jump circle, on the apron of the court and in other locations in the Westchester County Center, where the team will play 24 home games during the 2014-15 D-League season. Chase also will have its logo on the Westchester Knicks’ home and road jerseys. “We are thrilled about tipping off the Westchester Knicks’ inaugural season with Chase,” said Ron Skotarczak, executive vice president of marketing partnerships at The Madison Square Garden Co., in a statement. “We appreciate Chase’s support of our new NBA Development League team, which is an important part of our organization, and believe this partnership will provide Chase with a great and unique way to
connect with the Westchester community.” Chase was named Madison Square Garden’s marquee marketing partner in September 2010, giving Chase brand exposure across MSG’s properties and brands as well as preferred access to tickets for Chase cardholders. “We’re excited to extend our marquee partnership with MSG to the NBA Developmental League,” said Steve Pamon, the head of sports and entertainment marketing for Chase, in a statement. “The Westchester Knicks’ inaugural season also gives us a great opportunity to provide unique experiences to a community where many of our customers live and work.” The Westchester Knicks open the D-League regular season against the Canton Charge on Nov. 19 at the Westchester County Center.

A self-managed real estate investment trust, Mack-Cali under Hersh’s direction in recent years has sold several of its commercial properties in Westchester and the Northeast to finance its moves into the multifamily residential market. The company owns or has interests in 282 properties in the region, including 266 office and office/ flex properties totaling approximately 31.5 million square feet and 16 multifamily rental properties containing over 4,900 residential units. Hersh spent 17 years at Mack-Cali and 24 years at its predecessor, The Mack Co., where he was a partner and chief operating officer. “It has been a privilege to lead the finest employees in the industry, whose commitment and hard work never ceases to impress me,” Hersh said in the company announcement. “Together, we have steadily outperformed most of the markets that we operate in and have continued to reinvest in our office properties. At the same time, we have significantly advanced our multifamily residential strategy, successfully increasing the company’s residential business mix through developable land acquisitions and property investments.” William L. Mack, chairman of the Mack-Cali board, thanked Hersh for his “many contributions” and cited his leadership in Mack-Cali’s successful repositioning of its portfolio as it diversified into the multifamily apartment sector. He said the company will seek a new leader “to continue executing on our strategic initiatives and strengthening our already strong platform.” — John Golden and Leif Skodnick

SOCIAL MEDIA TRENDS
I
BY BRUCE NEWMAN
Social media and smoking-cessation strategies
n past columns, I have written about how important social media is to nonprofit organizations and some of the strategies they employ to build followers and raise money. Every nonprofit organization should employ a multitude of social media strategies and most midsize to large ones do. Recently, I became involved with the issue of smoking-cessation programs and decided to study how social media could both improve their ability to reach more people and improve their success rate. There are two broad categories of programs: those employing strategies to prevent people from starting to smoke and the ones that help existing smokers to quit. Both can benefit from social media. One of the key characteristics of social media is its ability to provide constant communications on different platforms to a wide range of people. These platforms — most notably, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube — allow smokers to share videos, information, insights and stories with other smokers. It allows people to be social and provide support while sharing a common goal: to stop smoking. It also allows people in remote locations to be able to reach out and talk with other people who are also attempting to stop smoking. Since more than 80 percent of the people under 18 who smoke will become regular smokers, it can also provide an additional supportive structure for the large percentage of adolescents who smoke and have unsuccessfully tried to quit. Coupling this support with mobile apps designed to help people stop smoking, creates a powerful pairing that can provide an adolescent (or adult) with a 24/7 structure. Developing groups and communities is very important since it provides a platform that allows smokers to develop trusting relationships. Since group therapy is a proven method of helping people overcome or cope with some of their problems, online group therapy can likewise offer smokers the support and communications they require. Experts and ex-smokers can also be invited to join these groups as members or guests. (Ex-smokers frequently serve as role models, particularly for adolescents.) Federal, state and many city governments offer online support to prevent and help people stop smoking. One such example is the fan page NYC Quits Smoking — I Quit Because, which has more than 23,000 “likes.” It was constructed and is maintained by the New York City Department of Health. There are many platforms and sites
like this, all focused on fighting tobacco and nicotine addiction. These websites, like smokefree.gov, are free. There are also several for-profit websites that provide a host of services and resources. When I mentioned I was writing this article to a friend, he pointed out that these social strategies can be expanded to include other problems besides tobacco, including how to deal with obesity and overeating. And, he was right. One such
successful example is Weight Watchers. Since social media is so flexible and farreaching, it can certainly address a range of problems and provide potential solutions. One final thought. Supporting a good cause on your company’s website can also pay several dividends. Most importantly, you will be helping a good cause by providing it with another location where it can receive attention from your viewers.
Second, studies have shown that promoting good causes online can also help your business, including higher open rates on newsletters. In short, it’s a win-win for everyone.

IEX co-founder shares tale of trading-tech breakthrough BY CRYSTAL KANG ckang@westfairinc.com
under his boss, Brad Katsuyama, Ryan and his team faced major frustrations when it came to electronic trading because each time a trade was executed, buyers couldn’t obtain the full shares at the price they saw. “Let’s say I see 50,000 shares on the offer at a price, and I want to buy it at that price,” Ryan said. “Every time I press the button to go and buy it, I only get filled in on 50 percent of it. And the 50 percent I didn’t buy is now a penny or two pennies more. But when I try to get the remaining 50 percent, that disappears as well and now it’s up three pennies.” Katsuyama, who was the head of electronic sales and trading at Royal Bank of Canada at the time, and Ryan soon discovered through Katsuyama’s efforts that SAC Capital Advisors (now Point 72 Asset Management), Steven Cohen’s hedge fund, had the same problem as RBC.

n the world of Ronan Ryan, fortunes are made and lost in the blink of an eye and 350 microseconds is a game-changer. The chief strategy officer of IEX Group Inc., who was featured in “Flash Boys,” the 2014 Michael Lewis book that sold 130,000 copies in its first week, shared his story recently at his alma mater, Fairfield University in Connecticut. Before co-founding IEX, Ryan, who has nine years’ experience in the financial services industry and more than 17 years’ experience in networking infrastructure, was the head of electronic trading at RBC Capital Markets, a Canadian investment bank. During timeKisco there, his first title was Now Openhis in Mt. 7.5” w x 7.25” h trading specialist. Working high-frequency Version B / 11-10-14
“SAC Capital would see 100,000 of shares at a price and buy it, but only get filled on 50,000 shares,” Ryan said. “And everyone there has just accepted that this is what happens. A trader said to me, ‘You just can’t get what you see.’ And that’s not OK.” At RBC, Ryan and his team received a risk account of more than $100 million dollars to figure out why buyers couldn’t execute on what they saw. Soon, the team realized the problem had to do with co-location, or the distance of a trading firm’s software to the stock exchanges, which made a world of difference in actualizing transactions. “If you’re running a high-frequency strategy or just an electronic trading strategy in general, you need to interpret the data in a very fast fashion,” Ryan said. “The further away from the signal you are, the longer it takes you to get the signal.

trading would pay to put their strategies in the same data centers as the exchange for faster connectivity.” When RBC developed a software program — named THOR — it disrupted the high-frequency trading market by introducing a way to stagger the arrival times of transactions to major stock exchanges’ data centers in New Jersey. “The first morning we hit the button, we were like giddy little school kids,” Ryan said. “We got every single thing on the screen that we saw. We had a frenzy on the floor.” In the first month of using the new software program, RBC’s loss ratio went down 35 percent, saving more than $5 million. Six months after rolling out the software to clients in June 2010, RBC had 454 new clients and $100 million of new revenue, Ryan said. “Instead of saying high-frequency trading is bad, we used technology to fight technology,” Ryan said. “No one knew who we were until THOR came out.” But Ryan wondered after reporting consecutive years of growth why some of RBC’s Wall Street clients weren’t trading through THOR. He said it was because investors have other brokers and investment banks that provide services and the only way for investors to thank them is by continuing to trade with them. After entering THOR into different competitions to showcase its technology, Ryan and his team began tossing around the idea of spinning it out of the company as its own product. In January 2012, Ryan and his team gathered 15 of RBC’s largest clients in a room to propose the idea of launching THOR as its own technology company. Ryan recalled a 2012 meeting, saying, “We said, ‘What if the technology company became an exchange itself — an end destination?’” In October 2013, Katsuyama, Ryan and their team launched Manhattan-based IEX, the first equity trading venue owned exclusively by a consortium of buy-side (not inhouse) investors, including a mutual fund, a hedge fund and family businesses. This mini exchange, also called a dark pool, just raised $75 million and has been cash flow positive for three months, Ryan said. IEX plans to become a full-fledged stock exchange in July with SEC approval. The strategy behind the exchange is to prevent predatory high-frequency traders from co-locating in the same building as its software program and finding out in advance what was just traded on the exchange venue because their connectivity signal is stronger. “We wanted to install 350 microseconds of delay on the way in and 350 microseconds of delay on the way out,” Ryan said, calling it an “anti-co-location model.” IEX, page 11
North Pole Adventure opens at Ridge Hill BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com
T
he annual trip to the shopping center to see Santa Claus has been reimagined with the opening of the holiday season’s marquee attraction at Westchester’s Ridge Hill in Yonkers. Designed by DreamWorks, the DreamPlace North Pole Adventure is an interactive experience in a six-room, 2,000-square-foot house featuring animated surfaces comprising more than 3.1 million pixels and 15,000 LED lights. Inside, children venture on a journey to meet Santa Claus. “We developed DreamPlace with the hopes of creating a unique experience for the entire family that transports guests to a very special destination up north — way up north,” said DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, who was joined on stage for the opening of the attraction Nov. 6 by children from the Boys & Girls Club of Northern Westchester, as well as Shrek and Santa Claus himself. The DreamPlace North Pole Adventure is touted as a new take on the visit to sit on Santa’s lap. Nine people can go through the North Pole Adventure every two minutes, making it possible for nearly 10,000 per day
to go on the virtual journey. “Since 1890, parents and children have been lining up to sit on Santa’s lap, and since 1890, they’ve been doing it in exactly the same way,” Katzenberg said. “We figured the big guy and all the families in line deserve something a little bit newer and a little bit better, and now it’s here.” DreamWorks, which produced the “Shrek” series of films, is opening seven other North Pole Adventure locations across the country. The Ridge Hill location is the only one in the New York metropolitan area. More than 8,000 had made reservations to visit the DreamPlace North Pole Adventure before it opened. “That’s just the tip of the iceberg,” said Kathryn Welch, executive vice president of Forest City Ratner Cos.’ retail development division. Welch said Forest City Ratner, which owns the Ridge Hill retail complex, hopes the DreamPlace will draw new visitors. “That’s a lot of what it’s about, bringing people here who haven’t experienced Ridge Hill before,” Welch said. “Based on data from our unique-to-the-market retailers, we draw from a pretty great distance, so we’ll go into Manhattan, Westchester, Orange (County)

and New Jersey. We’re expecting a very wide draw.” Planning for the interactive space began in June, when Welch first met with DreamWorks. The project, which Welch said required significant time and resources, officially got the go-ahead in August. “To see the culmination of all those efforts is pretty wonderful. It came together exactly as we hoped,” said Welch, who declined to put a dollar figure on the project’s cost. “We did buy the DreamHouse, and we’ll have it for five to seven years.” The DreamWorks DreamPlace North Pole Adventure will be open every day until Christmas Eve, excluding Thanksgiving.

That 350 microseconds of delay is equivalent to one one-thousandth of a blink of an eye. Although that microscopic delay doesn’t make a difference for buyers or sellers, it keeps high-frequency traders in line so that everyone finds out what trade happened at the same time. The delay is accomplished via 38 miles of fiber that’s coiled in what’s called a “magic box.” Every trade that comes in through IEX goes into the box, spins around for 350 microseconds, comes out the other side and into IEX’s matching engine where it matches the order, trades it and sends a message that spins around in another box and goes back to the front door. Ryan said IEX hasn’t become a relevant model for the U.S. equity market yet. But he has seen the tide slowly shift as senior leaders in major stock exchanges walk away from their jobs. He noted nine of the 44 employees at his company come from high-frequency trading firms, including people who held senior roles at Nasdaq. In the one year of trading, IEX’s recordhigh was 175 million shares in a single day. On its opening day, IEX traded 500,000 shares. “We haven’t proved anything or won anything,” Ryan said. “We have a lot of work to do.”

ASK ANDI
BY ANDI GRAY
Individual mistakes highlight a company’s needs Lately we’re dealing with a lot of unreliable people that work for us. When people screw up, they do say “I’m sorry” and act as if they’re off the hook because they apologized. I know sometimes it is easier to turn someone around than to replace them; how do you know when to quit and move on? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Reliability is a big issue — make sure you know where the problem is coming from. Teach people that the problem isn’t over until it’s solved — permanently. Attitude and behavior are where to look when trying to decide if you keep someone or let them go. Make sure that you don’t get in the way of letting others take the reins when it comes to problem-solving. One word in this problem puzzle caught my eye: “lately.” Many companies are getting busier as the economy picks up. And yet as owners, we hesitate to commit to hiring what we need for fear that things will turn down again. After all, most companies are still repairing their balance sheets and most business owners can still recall the uncomfortable days agonizing over decisions about cutting staff. No one wants to get caught with too many people on payroll when they’re not completely sure the business will grow. However, when problems start to increase, it may not be the fault of the people. It could be the workload, how the skills fit the work or that people cannot stretch their efforts any further. When business picks up, different parts of the business get busy. The busier people get, the more likely they are to take shortcuts and risk mistakes. One big challenge for most organizations is they’ve learned to function on a just-intime basis. An hour of overtime is sometimes necessary to get work out the door. And then it becomes two hours of overtime. Then 3 hours. Sooner or later, there is no more to give. People aren’t machines. They need time off to refresh and rest. And if they don’t get time off, they get worn out, mistakes go up and the recovery time puts everyone further behind. And problems get out of control. So if you’re wondering why things are getting worse lately, check if it’s time to hire more people. On the other hand, when problems crop up all around, you can’t be the one to step in and fix it every time. That just increases the load you’re carrying. It’s time for you to start leading the organization to a more successful way of doing things. Slow it down. When things go wrong the
temptation is to rush in order to catch up. Instead, encourage people to stop and fix one problem before moving on to the next set of challenges. Make fewer demands and avoid introducing new issues until the old ones are taken care of. Ask people to tell you how they’ve solved problems, and listen to their explanations. Then figure out how to make their solutions permanent. Move people around. It’s human nature to want to succeed. The question is, are the actions being taken actually leading to success? Ask people to look with a new perspective. Maybe the old way of doing things isn’t the best — it’s hard for someone to see that if they’ve been doing the same thing over and over. Make realistic promises to customers. Ask the people around you what they think. Just
because the customer wants it a certain way, or delivered by a certain date, doesn’t mean that’s the best way to do things. Keep in mind that an extraordinary request often leads to headaches. Make sure you have the time and resources needed before you commit. Watch what people do more than listening to what they say. Are certain people OK with failure? Always trying to fix a problem instead of preventing it? Acting like their way is the only way, even though there are problems all around them? Running around leaving chaos in their wake? That’s not good. Give them a deadline to start doing things right. Reward people who step up to the plate, admit their mistakes and take responsibility for permanently fixing the problems they encounter.
Check your own ego at the door. You may know how to fix things, but if you do, someone else doesn’t get the chance to learn. Step back to let others take charge. You’ll live longer if you let the people around you take action to fulfill the mission you’ve created. Looking for a good book?

BCW HONORS THREE BUSINESS CHAMPIONS NOVEMBER 2014 | WESTCHESTERNY.ORG
MSG Executives Tout Westchester at Sold-Out Event From left, BCW Board Member and incoming Chairman Anthony Justic; William McGrath, Senior Vice President and COO of Pace University; Hiroji Iwasaki, CEO of Kawasaki Rail Car; BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon; Montefiore CEO Dr. Steven Safyer; David Ring Managing Director of Enterprise Banking, First Niagara Bank, and BCW Chairman Stephen Jones.
Continuing its commitment to honoring businesses that have contributed to the vitality of Westchester’ economy, The Business Council of Westchester recently announced the recipients of its Wetstchester Business Champion Awards --- Pace University, Kawasaki Rail Car, Inc. and First Niagara Bank. The awards were presented October 27 at the Business Council’s Leadership Conversation Series event at Manhattanville College featuring Montefiore Health System President and CEO Dr. Steven Safyer. Accepting the awards were William McGrath, Senior Vice President and COO for the Westchester Campuses of Pace University; Hiroji Iwasaki, CEO of Kawasaki Rail Car; and David Ring, Managing Director, Enterprise Banking of First Niagara Bank. The awards are presented quarterly to three businesses and organizations that have relocated, recommitted or expanded in Westchester. As Westchester’s largest university and 13th largest employer, Pace plays an important role in the county’s economy contributing $64 million annually in direct and indirect spending in Westchester. Last fall, Pace broke ground for a Master Plan to transform and revitalize its 200-acre Pleasantville campus. The $100 million first phase, which is one of the largest construction projects in the Hudson Valley, will enable Pace to consolidate functions that are now split between campuses in Pleasantville and Briarcliff. For several decades, Kawasaki Rail Car has operated its U.S. corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility in the former Otis Elevator plant in Yonkers. It is there where Kawasaki builds subway cars for the MTA and train cars for Metro North. The company employs nearly 400 people at the facility, half of whom are in administrative positions. Earlier this year, Kawasaki announced the approval of a state grant that helped it purchase its $25 million plant in Yonkers. Since entering the Hudson Valley region in 2012, First Niagara Bank has rapidly expanded its presence as a commercial lender, and has provided financing for several major real estate developments in Westchester and elsewhere. First Niagara has 26 bank branches in the Hudson Valley Region, including five in the Westchester communities of Baldwin Place, Bedford Hills, Mount Kisco, Ossining and Yorktown Heights. In a boost for Westchester’s economy, First Niagara recently announced it is opening its new Tri-State Regional Headquarters in Tarrytown.

The sold-out event, which was held November 6 at the Westchester Marriot in Tarrytown, featured an all-star roster that included MSG President and CEO Tad Smith, former Knicks all-star Allan Houston and Al Trautwig of the MSG Network. Trautwig, who is the signature voice of the MSG Network, interviewed Smith and Houston about MSG’s new team, the Westchester Knicks, and why the county is the right place for this Development, or D-League, team. The Westchester Knicks, the official NBA D-League Affiliate of the New York Knicks, opens their regular 2014-15 season on Nov. 19 at Westchester County Center in White Plains. “This is an extraordinary place. We love being here. Westchester is really special. It’s a crown jewel of the southern part of New York,” Smith said during the interview. Smith, who is a resident of Westchester added, “It has a great energy and great leadership

that is something we can build upon.” With training facilities for the Knicks and Rangers located in Westchester County, MSG maintains an important – and growing -- presence in the county. Houston, who serves as assistant GM for the New York Knicks and GM for the Westchester Knicks, echoed Smith’s comments and cited the county’s great schools, distinct communities and proximity to New York City and Madison Square Garden as tremendous assets for players and the organization. “I’ve lived in this area for 16 years and my kids go to school in Westchester.
It’s just a great community and I think people are just really excited about having some professional basketball here,” he said. “This year’s Annual Dinner was a spectacular success, attracting a record attendance. We’re absolutely thrilled to have had such a stellar lineup. Tad Smith, Allan Houston and Al Trautwig were fantastic,” said Marsha Gordon, President and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester. “The energy and excitement generated by Madison Square Garden was amazing.”

Montefiore CEO Offers Overview of Healthcare Trends One of the region’s leading healthcare executives, Dr. Steven Safyer, President and Chief Executive Officer of Montefiore Health System, provided an insightful overview of the challenges facing today’s ever changing healthcare industry at the Business Council of Westchester’s Leadership Conversation Series held October 27 at Manhattanville College. Sponsored by First Niagara Bank, the Leadership Conversation event drew more than 100 business leaders who heard a lively and wide ranging 45-minute interview with Dr. Safyer that was conducted by Business Council President and CEO Marsha Gordon. Dr. Safyer, who oversees an integrated care delivery network with more than 150 locations across the region, said one of the major challenges facing hospitals today is how to provide affordable care without sacrificing quality. He noted that Montefiore’s model of integrating care and payments is a key element of the Affordable Care Act. “That’s

Investing in water to avert looming crisis
C
lean water is, thankfully, something we all take for granted. But should we? More than a billion people across the globe do not have access to fresh, clean water, according to data from the World Health Organization. Water is a scarce resource, and the scarcity is expected to worsen as the global population grows and the developing world industrializes. The issue is not only about the ability to quench one’s thirst. According to the United Nations, access to safe drinking water can influence everything from human health and sanitation to biodiversity and access to education. Tragically, the U.N. also estimated that 6 million to 8 million people die each year as a result of water-related disasters and diseases. Unfortunately, the problem is only accelerating. As the U.N. stated, “Water use has been growing at more than twice the rate of population increase in the last century, and, although there is no global water scarcity as such, an increasing number of regions are chronically short of water.” If, as a global society, we continue on the current path with regard to water management, the World Bank cautions that we “will
not be able to meet the great development challenges of the 21st century — access to safe drinking water and sanitation for all, livable cities, food security, energy security, jobs through economic growth and healthy ecosystems.”
What is being done?
Around the world, governments, nongovernment organizations, nonprofits and even for-profit companies recognize that the global water infrastructure must be improved in order to solve this looming crisis. They are banding together to invest in projects such as wastewater treatment, desalination and water reuse. Recycling water may sound strange but, according to the U.N., there is a need for cost-effective options for collection, treatment and disposal of human wastes. It is estimated that more than 80 percent of used water worldwide is not collected or treated. Agriculture is the source of much of water demand, as is the energy industry. The U.N. has noted that a particular emphasis has to be placed on increasing the water use efficiency in energy production — essentially producing more kilowatt-hours per drop of water. There is also a pressing need for
improved water sanitation infrastructure. This is true even here in the U.S., where our aging infrastructure is estimated to require billions of dollars in investment over the coming decades.
How can I get involved?
There are many publicly traded companies that are investing in sustainable methods of collecting, treating and delivering water efficiently. Indirectly, several large beverage companies use their corporate charitable foundations to deliver clean water solutions to communities around the globe. Companies more directly involved in the management of this valuable resource include those developing and selling water efficiency technologies such as meters, leak detection units or low flow technologies; others selling water-related infrastructure such as pipes, filters and rain water collection systems; or those developing new technologies, such as wastewater treatment or desalinization. The critical need for clean water around the world makes it an area of potential opportunity for you as an investor. If the issue compels you to act, speak with an

CHALLENGING CAREERS

Lawyer spearheads food-labeling accuracy efforts
he practice of law opens the door to multiple career opportunities, says Henry Kelston of Nyack, a partner in Milberg LLP, a law firm representing plaintiffs in class actions and other complex litigation. The Nyack resident began his law career after graduating cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree from Tufts University and from New York University’s School of Law. He went into the practice of law, interrupted his law career to become an entrepreneur for eight years, then returned to law, this time with Milberg. Kelston is presently working on class actions brought by several mothers concerned about inaccurate food labeling. The cases involve three firms that labeled their products as all “natural” while they were made largely from genetically modified ingredients, he says. “Natural foods are more expensive than others,” he says. “Although the suits may cost the offending companies millions, when divided among the many people affected, it amounts to a relatively small amount for each individual. But class actions can have ripple effects, helping to shape public policy and discourage bad corporate behavior.
“Each action has individuals who have agreed to act as representatives for the class,” Kelston says. He points out that these people have to be prepared for the long haul, “because these cases have a long life.” Locating individuals affected by a pending suit is a specialty in itself, he adds. “We post notices in appropriate magazines, websites and social media.” In addition to being a litigator and classaction specialist, Kelston is also involved in electronic discovery. “This is the practice of identifying, collecting and exchanging electronic information — locating documents and where (they are) stored,” he explains. Looking back, Kelston recalls, “During my second summer at law school I worked for a law firm, assigned to do some work in labor relations. A third generation had taken over a family-owned foundry and made the employees so unhappy that they sought to unionize,” he says. His law firm represented the foundry. Kelston says the problem was solved by impressing on the new generation of owners the need for less arrogance and greater consideration of employees. “On my last day of work the employees actually decided not to unionize,” he says.
“The field of labor law is changing,” he says after working full time in labor law. “It’s more about discrimination litigation, which I found less satisfying.” After also working in entertainment law, Kelston decided to become an entrepreneur. He had a role model in his father, who owned a small leather trimming factory in Brooklyn, aided by his wife as bookkeeper. Kelston’s then-3-year-old son inspired his first invention. “The cardboard juice boxes presented a problem in a child’s hands,” he says. “A light squeeze sent juice spurting all over. I designed and patented the first plastic juice holder. I also developed a few other lunch box items. I only intended to remain in business for a couple of years, but it stretched into eight. Launching a business is an education. A small-business owner needs to learn product design, production methods, inventory control, sales and public relations.” As competing products came on the market, Kelston decided to phase out and return to law. The Kelston family does boast two remaining entrepreneurs. Kelston’s Swedishborn wife, Marie Burewall, owns her own business helping to promote foreign destina-

SPECIAL REPORT EDUCATION
Nun devotes life to bringing music education to all BY FRANK PAGANI
W
hen Sister Beth Dowd grew up in Holyoke, Mass., her parents nurtured a love of music in her and her siblings. “Music was the centerpiece of activity in our home every night as well as in the schools,” she said. She also recalled that taking piano lessons was not an expensive proposition for her family back in the ’40s. It cost about a $1 for a one-hour instruction, something she would keep uppermost in mind when she founded the New Rochelle Catholic Elementary School Choir in 1979. Directing a choir was a dream come true for Dowd. She said she knew at the age of 14 that it was what she wanted to do with her life. But it also got her to think about how she would live up to the ideal of what it means to be a sister of the Order of St. Ursula, specifically “to build a community wherever you go and to know that that each person you touch is engraved in your heart.” Her idea for building a community was to create a music education program aimed at children living in low-income households. However that idea manifested itself, it would reflect Dowd’s stated belief that “all children should have access to private instrumental music lessons regardless of affordability.” Leveraging the bonds she had established over the years with New Rochelle High School and The College of New Rochelle Campus Ministry, her vision started to become a reality in 1994 when she incorporated the choir into a newly formed enterprise named Songcatchers. What began as a modest music education program with a small number of students and volunteers housed at New Rochelle High School grew impressively — so much so that the program had to move to larger accommodations at St. Gabriel’s High School. There, instruction is given in three classrooms and sometimes the hallways and a stairwell have to be used to accommodate the overflow. “We are bursting at the seams, thanks to the strong word of mouth of parents about how Songcatchers has transformed their children’s lives,” Dowd said. Since its inception, Songcatchers has realized its mission of “reaching for peace through music” by providing quality, affordable and accessible music instruction programs to more than 6,000 underprivileged

youths. Its offerings include after-school and early childhood programs, a summer choir camp and a concert choir of children and adults. Participants range from 18 months to 16 years of age and hail not only from New Rochelle but from Mamaroneck, Tarrytown and Rye as well. They are learning how to play the piano, flute, guitar and other instruments as well as sing in a chorus. They perform together at concerts throughout the year as well as at civic and interfaith events in the community. Dowd said the impact that Songcatchers is having on children and the community is powerful. She quoted the Hungarian composer Zoltán Kodály, who developed innovative methods of teaching music to children: “Music enters our being as nothing else and it affects you one way or another.” She said the magic that comes with learning to play an instrument or sing in a choir helps children grow into expressive, confident adults, instilling self-esteem, inner peace and a
sense of belonging. The greatest satisfaction she has derived in the past 20 years is watching the growth of children in every way on every level, Dowd said. “It is inspiring to see how children grow musically and become leaders,” she said. “Learning how to make music together teaches mutual respect as well as a valuable lesson about the importance of collaboration at an early age.” As part of Songcatchers community outreach activities, children have been making a difference in the lives of seniors at local nursing homes. “They not only sing for them but also join them in song as well. It’s truly a wonderful experience to see how music enlivens the seniors, especially those afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia,” Dowd said. “As one 11-year-old girl who participated said, ‘Music makes you realize who you are.’” Dowd said she also is heartened by seeing alumni return to Songcatchers to serve as mentors. “Increasingly our volunteers are professional musicians who are raising the
bar to instruct the next generation of aspiring musicians,” she said. Given all she has achieved, Dowd will be honored Nov. 21 when she is presented with the National Guild for Community Arts Education Milestone Award for her service to the field of arts education. When she returns from the awards ceremony in Los Angeles, she will prepare for another milestone — Songcatchers’ 20th anniversary Concert for Peace, which will be staged at 3:30 p.m. Dec. 14 in the College of New Rochelle chapel. As the music director, she will lead a large ensemble of singers and instrumentalists in a performance of holiday songs, culminating with the rising of a large earth flag as children proclaim a litany for peace — for a world they wish to be where there is no hunger or homelessness or war. The concert will be a fitting affirmation of Songcatchers’ journey: “What we are dong together goes beyond here. Our thoughts and energies through music are making a lasting impact on the world.” WCBJ | HV Biz

Supporting opportunities for students in Yonkers
ith Thanksgiving soon upon us, it is a perfect time to give thanks to those individuals and businesses creating opportunity for young people who may not otherwise have a chance. Fortunately for Yonkers Partners in Education and the thousands of students we serve every year, there are many who are making this important investment in the workforce of tomorrow. David Buckler is director, therapeutic proteins at Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. Every other week Buckler drives to Lincoln High School in Yonkers and goes from professional scientist to volunteer graduation coach, working with two sophomore boys to help them navigate the road from high school to college. For young people who may be the first in their family to attend college, having a caring adult like Buckler to help guide and mentor them can be transformational. Through the YPIE Scholars Program launched last year, more than 120 Yonkers students are receiving this care and attention from more than 65 volunteer graduation coaches from across Westchester County. Buckler is fortunate to work for such a
community-minded company. In addition to giving its employees time to volunteer, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals is taking its work outside of the laboratory and into the minds of our students with the Sci2Med Academy at Regeneron each week. Here, during a six-week program in the spring and fall, 18 Yonkers students learn about the groundbreaking research taking place at Regeneron, how to take a drug to market and different educational pathways that can lead to a career in science or biotechnology. Another supporter of Yonkers students is Kathy Welch, executive vice president of retail at Forest City Ratner Cos., the owner of Westchester’s Ridge Hill shopping center in the city. With Kathy’s support, businesses throughout Ridge Hill open their doors to our students for Ridge Hill Academy — a two-month career experience program exposing students to careers in the shopping center industry. Students learn about running a restaurant, starting an entrepreneurial business, operating a retail store and what it takes to manage mall security and operations. Students hear from professionals about their personal career challenges and triumphs. After seeing the

positive benefits this program has provided to our students, Welch deepened Forest City Ratner’s commitment to YPIE by providing a paid summer internship for a Ridge Hill Academy alum at its Brooklyn offices. Bob Jandovitz, human resources regional manager at ASR Group/Domino Sugar, not only contributes his thoughts and ideas as an active YPIE board member but also advocated for Domino to become a major community partner by constructing and funding the YPIE College & Career Center at Saunders Trades and Technical High School, one of eight high schools in Yonkers. This YPIE center — the high school’s go-to hub for college inspiration and information — supports hundreds of students each year, offering guidance with college research and planning, application completion, introductions to college representatives, essay writing help and financial aid support. Students from low-income, urban communities like Yonkers face devastating opportunity gaps that impact their prospects for college and beyond. Experiences and opportunities common in most Westchester communities do not exist in Yonkers. Thankfully there are individuals

The working relationship of community colleges and businesses
P
eople are often surprised to learn about the ways in which employers are now partnering with community colleges to help their employees keep their skills up to date or re-train for higher-level jobs in their organizations. George R. Boggs in his 2011 article “The American community college: From access to success, “At the heart of the community college mission is a sense of responsibility for the economic development of the community surrounding the colleges.” Examples of business/community college partnerships can be found throughout the country: • Anne Arundel Community College in Maryland is working in partnership with federal agencies (U.S. Cyber Command, National Security Agency) to provide skilled cybersecurity employees and is also providing training for private cybersecurity firms. • Central Piedmont Community College in North Carolina is providing customized training for staff at the Siemens Charlotte Energy Hub. With its recent $350 million expansion, Central Piedmont has
expanded its partnership with Siemens to include skills assessment for new employees and post-hire training. • Cuyahoga Community College in Ohio is partnering with local building trades unions to provide entry-level and incumbent workers with opportunities to enhance their skills through a college-sponsored apprenticeship program. • Closer to home, Rockland Community College was instrumental in establishing a 3D Printing Smart Lab in the school’s Haverstraw Center and Westchester Community College is working with regional advanced manufacturing firms to provide training that leads to entry-level industry certifications. Some may also be surprised to learn about the community college resources available to help develop employee productivity, and also to help small businesses and entrepreneurs grow and prosper. • LaGuardia Community College, in partnership with Goldman Sachs’ 10,000 Small Businesses program, offers small-busi-

ness owners access to a practical business and management education; since its inception, the program has trained 100 businesses that have created jobs, secured loans and negotiated contracts. • Dutchess Community College partners with The Council of Industry, an association of Hudson Valley manufacturers, to offer a Certificate in Manufacturing Leadership to prepare employees for supervisory responsibility. • At Westchester Community College, the Academy for Entrepreneurial Excellence (developed in partnership with The Business Council of Westchester) provides individuals with established businesses the skills and knowledge needed to grow their businesses to the next level.
Customized training
Most community colleges have a department that provides customized training to help their local businesses and government organizations meet their business goals. Often community college customized train-
ing is both highly effective and affordable. Programs offered typically include: • Leadership and organizational effectiveness. • Business communications — written and oral presentations. • Workplace languages including English. • Customer service. • Sales/business generation. • Technology programs including computer applications and social media. • Project management. • Issues in the modern workplace/compliance.
Grant funding
In some states community colleges have access to grant funding for customized training for businesses.

FASNY opponents’ legal claim dismissed BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com
A
judge has rejected a legal claim made by opponents of the French-American School of New York’s proposed White Plains campus that the mayor and Common Council violated the state Open Meetings Law. State Supreme Court Judge Joan Lefkowitz dismissed the single remaining claim of the FASNY opponents, which alleged the mayor and Common Council members violated the Open Meetings Law by discussing possible
changes to a findings statement in private rather than at an open meeting, in an order filed Nov. 3. Lefkowitz in June dismissed 11 other claims filed by the Gedney Association neighborhood group and residents of the area surrounding the former Ridgeway Country Club — the planned site of the school — for not being “legally ripe.” The judge ruled that since the Common Council had yet to reach a decision on the FASNY application, the legal challenge rested on an event that had not occurred. In dismissing the remaining claim,
Lefkowitz said the FASNY opponents failed to show any supporting evidence. The judge noted that the Open Meetings Law “encompasses private meetings, attended by a quorum of members of a public entity, at which the matters for discussion and eventual decision are such as would otherwise arise at a public meeting.” Lefkowitz ordered that because the FASNY opponents’ filings in the case did not point to any evidence indicating the Common Council met in secret over the FASNY application, the claim must be dismissed.
Reached by phone, Gedney Association President John Sheehan told the Business Journal that his group and the neighborhood residents who joined the suit plan to appeal. Attorney Dennis Lynch, who represented the Gedney Association and the neighborhood residents in the case, said, “We believe this is something that an appellate court should take a look at. ... It’s in the public’s interest that issues like this are discussed publicly, and we believe in this case they weren’t.” Lynch said the Gedney Association and the neighborhood residents have 30 days from the date of Lefkowitz’s order to file a notice of appeal, and then six months to file the actual appeal with the Second Judicial Department of the state Supreme Court Appellate Division in Brooklyn. Residents in the neighborhood surrounding the former golf club have voiced opposition to FASNY’s plan since the school purchased the property nearly four years ago. The plan, which would build a school campus near the former clubhouse while turning the remainder of the golf course property into a conservancy, would consolidate FASNY’s operations onto a single campus. Currently, the French-American School of New York has students from nursery school to 12th grade spread across three campuses in Scarsdale, Larchmont and Mamaroneck.
Anti-Defamation League to expand programs The Anti-Defamation League is forming a local advisory committee in Westchester County to help expand its education programs and initiatives in the community. The launch of the league’s committee was announced Oct. 21 at the Metropolis Country Club in White Plains, with a roster of speakers that included U.S. Rep. Eliot Engel, D-Bronx, state Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, D-Scarsdale, and Reginald Richardson, the principal of New Rochelle High School. The speakers highlighted the league’s “No Place For Hate” initiative, which the organization said is designed to create inclusive communities and empower students, faculty, administrations and family members to challenge bigotry, bias and bullying, while equipping institutions with long-term solutions for creating a positive climate. The league recognizes “No Place For Hate” institutions after they follow certain guidelines. “The fight against discrimination and bigotry must begin at an early age, which is why we need educational programs,” Paulin said. — Leif Skodnick

Miles to succeed longtime WCC president Hankin led the college since 1971
BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com
W
estchester Community College will have a new president for the first time in 43 years, with Belinda S. Miles set to succeed Joseph Hankin, who announced his retirement in November 2013. The appointment was approved by the State University of New York board of trustees at a meeting in New York City on Nov. 6. “I am looking forward to this opportunity to engage with students, faculty, staff and the community to advance a comprehensive learning and success agenda,” Miles said in a statement. “Together we will work to expand Westchester Community College’s role in helping students achieve their academic and career goals.” Miles, a New York City native, joins WCC after serving in leadership roles at Cuyahoga Community College in the Cleveland area. She earned a bachelor’s degree in political science at the City University of New York’s York College. She attained a master’s degree in educational psychology and a Doctor of Education degree in higher education organization and leadership development from
Teachers College, Columbia University. Hankin, the previous president of WCC, retired in 2013 after leading the college since 1971. He had previously been president of Harford Community College in Maryland, a post to which he ascended at age 26, making him the youngest college president in the country. “For the past 42 years, it has been my honor to serve the board of trustees, administration, faculty, staff, student body and residents of Westchester County in the position of president of Westchester Community College,” Hankin said at his 2013 State of the College address, where he announced his retirement. “The accomplishments achieved over the past four decades have been realized because of the joint effort of a team of individuals.” “President Hankin has led Westchester Community College with the highest level of distinction, fostering productive and impactful connections with students, faculty and staff on campus,” said SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher in response to Hankin’s retirement. “The college will be forever defined by President Hankin’s tenure, and his many contributions to SUNY and to New

York state throughout his leadership will benefit generations to come.” Having been granted leave for 2014, Hankin assisted the trustees in the college’s presidential search that ultimately selected Miles as his replacement. John F.M. Flynn, the college’s former vice president of academic affairs who has been serving as interim president since January of this year, will stay on in the role until Miles begins leading the college in January. The announcement of Miles’ appointment comes shortly after Westchester Community College was rocked by an aca-
demic transcript fraud scandal. As was first reported in The Journal News, four former WCC men’s basketball players had used fraudulent transcripts produced by an assistant coach to transfer to four-year schools. According to reports, the National Junior College Athletic Association, the SUNY chancellor’s office and the state inspector general’s office were informed about possible transcript fraud over a year ago, with the NJCAA saying it had shared emails regarding the fraud allegations with Hankin. Hankin, however, told the Journal News he did not remember receiving the email.

obtained grant funding for customized training for companies in the biotech sector, retail food marketing, the not-for-profit sector, health care and others areas to enable them to build computer skills, customer service abilities, culinary skills, managerial expertise and English as a second language.
The fast track
In addition to two-year credit degree programs and one-year credit certificate programs, community colleges offer a variety of short-term noncredit programs designed to prepare individuals to enter the workforce or enhance their skills to make them eligible for promotions in their current jobs. These programs are affordable, taught by working professionals and can result in an independently awarded industry-recognized certificate. Many of the programs are designed to enable participants to earn multiple workforce certificates by layering one program on top of another. In addition, short-term noncredit programs are often aligned with programs that lead to a credit certificate or degree. Some examples of short-term, noncredit workforce programs are: • Careers in health care (certified nurse
assistant, patient care technician, health information implementation specialist), advanced manufacturing (NIMS and CPT certifications) and business (Microsoft Office Specialist, project management) at Westchester Community College. • “The new blue collar” manufacturing careers track at Tidewater Community College in Virginia. • The air conditioning and refrigeration and security officer programs at Hostos Community College in the Bronx.
The win-win
Workforce development and economic development are a focus at most community colleges and some have even included these terms in their mission statements. It is critical for both community colleges and businesses to work in partnership to ensure that community college programs address the skills required for the regional economy, that employers have access to a pipeline of appropriately trained employees and that customized training services enable businesses to accomplish their goals.

Manhattanville hosts sports business career fair
ob opportunities in a roughly $400 billion American industry will be the focus of the seventh annual Sports Business Career Fair this month at Manhattanville College in Purchase. The event, developed by the college’s sport business management degree program, will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 21 at Reid Castle on the Manhattanville Road campus. A panel of human resources executives will offer perspectives on employment in their respective sport businesses at 10 a.m. Moderated by sports executive and recruiter Keith Cutler, executive recruiter at MiCa Sports and co-founder of Sports Central, the panel will include Alyssa Adelson, talent acquisition director at Octagon, a Norwalk, Conn.-based sports and event marketing and talent representation company; Miguel Zurita, head of talent acquisition at NBC Sports Group; Marybeth Interdonato, senior human resources manager at the U.S. Tennis Association; and Mike Smith, National Football League senior vice president for human resources.
Manhattanville officials said more than 30 hiring managers will be on hand as exhibitors representing sports teams, leagues, associations, event venues and agencies. “Based on the sport business curriculum we have developed, our convenient location and relationships with the sports business leaders, hosting events like this is a natural,” said David Torromeo, executive director of the sport business program at Manhattanville, “and we believe offering these events provides an invaluable tool for the industry and for students interested in a career in sports, and represents an important step in promoting awareness of opportunities in an exciting, growing, competitive marketplace.” Along with its 8-year-old sport business management master’s degree program, the college has expanded its offerings with a sport studies undergraduate program.

GOOD HAPPENING IN AND THINGS ABOUT THE HUDSON VALLEY HOSPITAL PRESENTS PHOTO EXHIBIT Middletown-based Orange Regional Medical Center presents “Salt of the Earth,” a social documentary photography exhibit that tells the story of Orange County farmers and their families who have chosen to preserve their land through conservation. Featuring black and white images by Warwick photographer, Robert Skinner, a social documentary and commercial photographer, with accompanying stories by Dorothy Gaydos, a professional garden designer, horsewoman and writer based in Warwick and Rensselaer, the exhibit explores the relationship local farmers have with their land, the bond of heritage and landscape and the pull of generational history and family. Presented in collaboration with the Orange County Land Trust, the exhibit shares the stories of these landowners who have ensured that these green spaces will remain open and undeveloped and available for farming, in perpetuity. An opening reception with the artists will be held Nov. 21, from 4 to 6 p.m. at Orange Regional Medical Center, 707 E. Main St., Middletown. Farm-to-table refreshments will be served. The exhibit will remain on view until Dec. 19. Salt of the Earth is part of Orange Regional’s ongoing art exhibit series. The Gallery at Orange Regional is free and open to the public between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., daily. This exhibit

She recently visited the hospital to make a donation to the Orange Regional Medical Center Foundation’s Grateful Patient Program as a way to say thank you for
the care she received and to reunite with her care team. “Thank you to everyone who had a part in my care. From food service, housekeeping, pastoral care, case management, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, diagnostic imaging, bone and joint and rehab – I am truly grateful that I remained at Orange Regional for repair and recovery. My care was exceptional,” Sweet said. For more information on the Grateful Patient Program at Orange Regional, call 845-3332223 or visit ormc.org/foundation.
GET READY FOR WINTER STATEWIDE ABSTRACT ACQUIRES LAND TRANSFER LTD. Kenneth Meccia, president of Statewide Abstract, the oldest and largest family-owned title agency in Westchester, has announced the acquisition of Land Transfer Ltd. in White Plains. Statewide, which has offices in White Plains and Manhattan, has been providing title insurance to the real estate industry for more than 35 years. Land Transfer was established in 1986 by Gordon B. Perkel, former assistant regional counsel to Chicago Title Insurance Co. In 1992, Perkel was joined by Michelle Natoli and together they ensured that Land Transfer would provide a high level of customer service to their clients. Over the past three decades Meccia has seen numerous changes in the title industry. “Perhaps the most significant change is the fact that almost every mortgage company and bank now has their own internal title company,
which enables them to keep more of the revenue stream in house,” Meccia said. In an industry that has seen a significant amount of downsizing, Statewide has continued to expand and Meccia believes “the difference is twofold, first we have 35 years in the business and during that time we have seen it all. So our depth of experience simply can’t be matched. Second, we have assembled a dedicated, knowledgeable and experienced team of individuals who care about the clients, understand the work they do and always go the extra mile and I believe that’s what sets Statewide apart and has enabled us to continue to grow as an independent title insurance company while others have disappeared. We welcome Gordon and Michelle to our team and know that their expertise and the reputation of Land Transfer will serve to enhance our ability to serve our clients with the highest-quality standards possible.”
“One of the best ways to be ready for winter storms is to become familiar with Central Hudson’s online and mobile communications tools to report trouble and stay informed should weather interrupt your electric service,” said James P. Laurito, president and CEO of Central Hudson. The utility’s website features Storm Central, an interactive tool providing customers with a map showing the location of power interruptions and the ability to report their power condition; municipal officials with information on the number of affected customers by town, village and city; and estimated restoration times when known. “Central Hudson uses a computer model to predict the locations of electric service interruptions based on customers’ reports of their power condition, which is reflected on the Storm Central map,” Laurito said. “We also provide storm-specific information on system conditions, locations of emergency shelters and services, announcements by state and lo-
cal officials and other useful information.” For those using smartphones and tablets, the Storm Central map and tool is available as a mobile application for Apple, Android and Blackberry platforms. The app is free and available at Googleplay, the Apple Store and Blackberry App World. A mobile version of the site is also available at mobile.centralhudson.com without downloading the app. To register, customers may simply text REG to 236483 (the numbers correspond to “CenHud” on a numeric keypad), and when prompted provide their 10-digit Central Hudson account number. Customers who already have their cell phone number on file with their account information will have an even quicker registration experience – at the prompts, these customers will only have to accept the terms and conditions and validate their identity by providing the zip code for the account to which they are registering. More information is available at CentralHudson.com/Alerts.
