Online grocery shopping? Americans say ‘I’d rather go to the store’ BY BOB ROZYCKI bobr@westfairinc.com
W
hen it comes to shopping online or shopping in person at a grocery store, U.S. consumers overwhelmingly say they’d rather eyeball their food personally and thump their own cantaloupes, according to a survey by Vixxo, a facility management company in Scottsdale, Arizona. After asking 1,260 American grocery shoppers their preferences, Vixxo found that an overwhelming 87 percent prefer to shop in person. And age had nothing to do with this as nearly all baby boomers — 96 percent — and a massive amount of millennials — 81 percent — said that they prefer going to the store. Statistics showing the number of online vs. in-store shoppers are hard to come by. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the nation’s 118,812 traditional food stores sold $648 billion of retail food and nonfood products in 2016. As for online purchases, according to a survey earlier this year by advisory firm Brick Meets Click, the online share of total grocery shopping in 2018 was expected to be 5.5 percent.

Ginsburg brings muchanticipated ‘City Square’ plan to White Plains officials
BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com
W
hite Plains city officials got their first look at the official plans for City Square, developer Martin Ginsburg’s effort to remake the Westchester Financial Center office complex in the city’s downtown. The plans call for creating a unified block within Main Street, South Lexington
Avenue, Martine Avenue and Bank Street with shops, restaurants, offices and apartments. As told to the Common Council in a special hearing Nov. 26, the developer would act on that vision by adding 188 rental apartments and just under 20,000 square feet of new retail space to the 15- and 14-story office towers on the site. The Valhalla-based Ginsburg Development Cos. (GDC) teamed up with Robert Martin Co. in April on an $83 million deal to

acquire the center’s two office buildings, which total about 570,000 square feet on Main Street and Martine Avenue. GDC has since bought Robert Martin’s interest in the project, a GDC spokesperson said. GDC has since been formulating plans to turn the 1980s office towers into the type of live-work campus Ginsburg described following the purchase. The plans also incorporate 34 S.

NVESTORS OFTEN RELY ON MARKET RETURN comparisons (beating an index) to measure investment success. While this method is easily quantifiable, it is also unpredictable and difficult to control. The success of any investment strategy should also measure individualized factors which, we believe, are often very impactful and more importantly, controllable. Factors such as asset allocation in the entirety of all family accounts, comprehensive fee evaluation, tax budgeting/daily tax management, and effective risk budgeting, among others are frequently overlooked by investors. Surprisingly, even the most sophisticated investors rarely align their investment strategy with their core values and true purpose
for wealth. This simple, yet vastly important idea could be the most impactful in moving beyond the traditional definition of success towards personal fulfillment. How do you define success?

Cyberattacks can destroy a small business
common misperception about security is that, if my company has employed a certain collection of security “things” (anti-virus, data encryption, a few cameras, locks on the doors, etc.), then we should be OK. The fact is that small and medium-sized businesses require a more complete understanding of the need for a security strategy and how to go about developing an appropriate program that matches company culture and the related risk environment. As is frequently reported, security events continue to impact businesses. In 2017, 76 percent of data breaches were financially motivated, and 75 percent were perpetrated by outsiders. Ransomware, though shifting in nature, has held many organizations hostage at one point or another in recent years. While cybersecurity events continue to grab headlines, more traditional forms of security events are still very real. U.S. businesses that

were impacted by employee theft lost an average of $1.13 million in 2016, and the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners reported on nearly 2,700 cases of occupational fraud in 2017, which resulted in $7 billion in losses globally. More than 70 percent of cyberattacks target small businesses and 58
percent of confirmed data breaches were at companies with less than 1,000 employees last year. Statistics from reported events show that 50 percent of small businesses have experienced a cyberattack. Even more disturbing than that, however, is the reality that more than 50 percent of small businesses that experi-
ence a major cyberattack go out of business within six months. Even without accounting for recovery or other associated costs, the financial impact of security events is very real. Small and medium-sized businesses represent 68 percent of theft cases, with a median loss of $290,000. Companies with less than 100 employees lost a median of $200,000 per instance of fraud. This does not include recovery costs, the cost of litigation or the potential loss of reputation with customers, partners and others. A security strategy can help manage security risk to reduce the likelihood of events, reduce losses when events occur and help the recovery process by defining response mechanisms.

A MEMBER OF
Westchester’s medical-office sector alive and thriving BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com
A
plan from Simone Development and Montefiore Medical Center to open a pediatric ambulatory care center in Harrison is just the latest sign of strength for Westchester County’s medical sector. Montefiore’s interest in expanding in the county comes 13 months after the Hospital for Special Surgery opened a 50,000-squarefoot outpatient center in White Plains. The two health care deals are bookends to a year in which both regional and local health care brands either announced or capped off expansions in the county. “Westchester clearly is emerging as a major market for world-class health care and it’s really that straightforward,” said William Mooney Jr., president and CEO of the Westchester County Association.
LATEST AT 104
Simone presented the plans for the Montefiore ambulatory center at 104 Corporate Park Drive to the Harrison Town Planning Board on Nov. 28. Seth Mandelbaum, an attorney
representing the development team, told the board that Simone would close on the property at the beginning of December. Simone would renovate and slightly expand the vacant 118,000-square-foot building to add urgent care space, lab facilities, an imaging suite and a children’s evaluation and rehabilitation center, among other features. Montefiore would lease the property. Simone would also build a three-level parking garage to bring the site up to a total of 495 parking spaces. Guy Leibler, president of Simone Healthcare Development, said the company “wants to join the party,” along Harrison’s Interstate 287 corridor, where a Wegmans grocery store and a 420-unit apartment development are under construction. The center will serve children from an early age through their teenage years, Leibler said. Ambulatory health care, Leibler said “has replaced in-hospital care and provides a much more efficient and coordinated delivery.” “We think this new pediatric center will be an important opportunity for
the community in servicing the needs for young people,” he said. The planning board voted to designate itself lead agency for the project’s review and will hold the first public hearing on the proposal in December.
GROWING TREND
Simone and Montefiore’s proposal could prove just the latest health care development project for the county. White Plains Hospital has plans under city review to build a new 9-story, 216,000-square-foot ambulatory care center next to its Center for Cancer Care. The hospital is also renovating a 16,000-square-foot office building on East Post Road for additional offices. Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow spent about $12 million upgrading its interventional radiology suite, among other investments in the hospital. Construction is visible from the Taconic State Parkway on Westchester Medical Center’s $230 million patient pavilion in Valhalla, which the hospital topped off last fall.
JOBS
The growth can be seen in the medical sec-
tor’s employment numbers. An October report from the New York State Comptroller’s office found that jobs in health care professions grew 16 percent over the past decade in Westchester. Statewide, the 1.2 million total health care jobs in 2017 marked an 18 percent increase from a decade earlier. That growth rate is double that of the state’s overall employment growth, Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli said. In response to the comptroller’s report, Kevin Dahill, president and CEO of The Suburban Hospital Alliance of New York State, attributed part of the increase in health care hiring to competition in the industry. “Just look around Westchester and all the new facilitates that have opened — urgent care facilities, ambulatory sites. That’s obviously not just in Westchester, it’s throughout the state.” Dahill told the Business Journal following the report. His organization represents 51 hospitals in New York City, Long Island and the Hudson Valley.
OFFICE IMPACT
The boom can also be seen in Westchester’s office
market. Health care tenants have increasingly grabbed more of the county’s open office space. As of the end of the third quarter, medical-related tenants captured 31 percent of all office leasing in the county for 2018, according to a Newmark Knight Frank report. In 2017, the health care sector accounted for 24 percent of all office leasing, according to Newmark, which was double the figure of 2016. Only the FIRE sector — finance, insurance and real estate industries —captured more overall leasing in the last year, at 25 percent of leasing. Medical office deals are typically large deals, as noted by Howard Greenberg, president of the Howard Properties Ltd. real estate services firm in White Plains. That means health care deals can take up more of the overall leasing, which is measured by square footage, even with a lower volume of deals. Health care deals include leases for doctors’ offices, as well as administrative and IT space. One example is Montefiore’s renewal and expansion of 281,497 square feet of administrative space at South Westchester
Executive Park in Yonkers, which marked the largest lease of 2017. Following the Business Journal’s report on Montefiore and Simone’s plans at 104 Corporate Park Drive, Greenberg said the proposal is in line with the county’s trend of attracting increasingly specialized medical uses. “There’s an increasing sophistication,” Greenberg said. “From basic day-today medical offices to Memorial Sloan Kettering (which opened in Harrison in 2014), to Hospital for Special Surgery and now to a sophisticated, pediatric care plan from Simone and Montefiore.” Mooney predicted the market would continue to grow. While some of the services for each provider overlap, he said that the competition is good and could even attract more top care providers. Blocks with several big name health care facilities, such as Westchester’s Platinum Mile, create a cluster, Mooney said. “Fundamentally, this is a retail business, meaning there’s a consumer. Clusters work in that type of business.”
Latimer questions Playland deal; examines other county assets BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com
“W
e don’t believe it’s the best deal for the taxpayers of Westchester County,” County Executive George Latimer told members of The Business Council of Westchester (BCW) about the contract for amusement park operator Standard Amusements to take over Playland in Rye. Latimer spoke on Nov. 28 at the BCW’s KeyBank Speaker Series breakfast at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown. Latimer disclosed that a
meeting was scheduled for Nov. 30, with the principals of Standard Amusements to revisit the deal that had been struck under the administration of Latimer’s predecessor, Rob Astorino. “I don’t fault Standard Amusements. They negotiated what they thought was the best deal for them. And if I were in corporate life that’s what I would do,” Latimer said. He denied he’s intent on killing the deal. “We think there’s a stronger role for the county on Playland. If we’re going to have a relationship going forward, I think it can be recast in a positive light but those discussions have
to happen.” Latimer also reviewed the proposed 2019 county budget of $1.94 billion, noting that new revenue sources have to be found despite the planned property tax increase of 2 percent. Latimer said the proposed monetization of the county-owned parking lot in front of the County Center in White Plains provides a good example of how county assets can be used to help close a $71 million shortfall primarily resulting from a $32 million general fund operating deficit from 2017 and a $39 million shortfall from 2018.
When asked about the future of Westchester County Airport, and reminded that the BCW is involved in a campaign to encourage an operating arrangement similar to the long-term lease proposed by the Astorino administration, Latimer said the airport master plan process has been restarted and there will be a new study of the airport’s environmental impacts, especially those which have brought vocal opposition to airport operations from neighbors, including noise, water and air pollution. “We know there are business interests, which want
to use … and want to have the benefit of operating out of that airport and we know some things have been delayed in discussion and we know those things will be discussed more aggressively and will come to resolution more quickly,” he said. Latimer said that a new marketing study is being done on the North 60 biotech project in Valhalla. Latimer explained that some changes have been made to the proposal, which includes not only biotech facilities but apartments and retail as well. “It is 60 acres of land, the last, largest piece of county-owned
WCBJ
general-use land, so we have to make a strong public case for why we’re going to longterm lease it and what the prospects are,” Latimer said. He said he hopes to have the market study completed by the end of January and have the Board of Legislators review proposed changes to the project thereafter. Latimer plans to spend a lot of time in Albany in 2019 lobbying against unfunded state mandates and trying to convince state leaders that they need to share the state’s financial resources with counties and municipalities to help relieve the burden of local property taxes.

Platinum Mile teardown: 450 apartments planned for Westchester Park Drive in Harrison BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com
A
plan to build 450 apartments on the Platinum Mile marks the latest plan to knock down and replace one of Harrison’s empty office buildings. Town of Harrison officials heard the first formal proposal for a residential conversion of 3 Westchester Park Drive on Tuesday at a Planning Board meeting. The proposal, led by Boston-based real estate firm Marcus Partners, would knock down the 160,000-square-foot office building on the 10-acre site and build in its place 450 apartments across two buildings, totaling 560,000 square feet. Marcus Partners bought the property through an online auction earlier this year for $10.97 million. The firm, which has a regional office in Norwalk, has teamed up on the proposal with the Trammell Crow Co., an apartment developer based in Dallas that is a subsidiary of CBRE Group Inc. Built in 1982, the 3 Westchester Park Drive building was described by project attorney Seth Mandelbaum as “functionally obsolete.” The building’s final
remaining tenant, Business Journal publisher Westfair Communications Inc., moved last month. Andy Huntoon, managing director for Trammell Crow in the Northeast, said the apartments would be split between two buildings on separate lots, with a central street running between them. One building would be five stories, the other six. Those buildings would house a mix of 33 studios, 152 one-bedroom, 254 two-bedroom and 11 three-bedroom apartments. About two-thirds of the units would offer terraces, while some units would have street-level entrances. The list of amenities include a swimming pool at each building, a half-mile jogging path and dog runs. Farmhouse-style structures at the front of each building would offer community space for residents. Huntoon described creating an entrance and “sense of place” for the two buildings through its central entry road. In a video overview, a camera pans down the main road, which is lined with trees and benches. Large windows along first-floor amenity space in the center of the building mimics a village-style retail storefront. The buildings wrap around separate courtyards, with

each featuring either swimming pool and barbecue pits or green space. “We’ve really tried to maximize the amount of outside space to promote the sense of community and make it a beautiful property from all four sides,” Huntoon told the board. Marcus Partners and Trammell Crow plan to dedicate about 20,000 square feet to indoor amenities, including a library reading room, business center and coffee room. “We’re starting with a nearly 40-year-old, functionally obsolete building that’s vacant," Huntoon said. “We want to transform it to something that will provide a lot
of value to the resident as a beautiful place to call home.” The 3 Westchester Park Drive apartments would join the rest of the neighborhood in transforming. The developers grouped their project with the other office teardowns along Harrison's Westchester Avenue corridor. Next door is Life Time Fitness, a 200,000-squarefoot mega gym built over the site where Gannett Co., publisher of The Journal News, once had offices and a printing plant. One street farther east, on Corporate Park Drive, more apartments and a grocery store are set to rise. National developer Toll Brothers has already
started construction on 421 apartments, marketed as The Carraway, on the site where two office buildings once stood. Wegmans Food Markets, Inc., meanwhile, is laying the groundwork for its first Westchester County grocery store on the former site of three office buildings. The apartments would add to a neighborhood built around, as Huntoon described it, a world-class fitness center and world-class grocery store. Huntoon said his firm and Marcus Partners have met with Life Time and Wegmans officials to discuss ways to create a "better sense of community," Huntoon said.
Wegmans, for example, could send a chef to lead demonstrations on the property for apartment residents. The new apartment proposal has a letter of support signed by Life Time Fitness, the nearby Hyatt House hotel and Heritage Realty, which operates the two office buildings across the street, Mandelbaum noted. Wegmans has a corporate policy against such declarations, but Mandelbaum said they are “not unsupportive.” Even Toll Brothers has signed on to show its support for the development. While it may seem counterintuitive for Toll Brothers to want competing apartments next door, Mandelbaum said they “recognize that the idea is to have a vibrant community, and more density only reinforces that.” Marcus Partners holdings include several office buildings in Fairfield County, including Merrit 7 in Norwalk, the largest in the county. This project represents its first in Westchester. Trammell Crow Co. was founded in 1948 and has developed or acquired more than 2,700 apartment buildings around the country. The developers will first require the Harrison Planning Board to sign off on an environmental review, site plan approval and other permits.
Umberto the Tailor wants $27K for custom suits BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

his customer in Westchester Supreme Court on Nov. 12 to enforce a $27,400 default judgment from Superior Court in Stamford. McKenna, according to the Connecticut lawsuit, ordered the garments in December 2016. They include four suits — navy self herringbone, gray nailhead, navy bead stripe and blue over plaid gray worsted — at $6,000 each, a navy serge blazer at $4,500 and Oxford gray and tan gabardine trousers at $950 each. McKenna made a $3,000
WCBJ
down payment, but when the clothing was finished and ready for delivery, the complaint states, McKenna failed to pay. Pitagora sued McKenna in Connecticut last year. McKenna failed to appear before the court and the judge granted the tailor a default judgment. Pitagora takes his business seriously. Men’s Fitness magazine headlined him as the “Obi-Wan Kenobi of suit making” in a 2017 article likening him to the wise master Jedi from the “Star Wars” films.
Pitagora, who is in his mid-70s, apprenticed himself to a master tailor in Nicastro, Italy, at age 14. After working in Florence, Italy, and Baltimore, he moved to Fairfield County in 1970, working in Darien, Wilton and more recently, Greenwich. He prides himself on taking precise measurements that enable him to sculpt fabric to the customer’s unique geometry and needs. When a magician needed special pockets sewn into a long-tail perfor-
mance coat, according to the Men’s Fitness article, Pitagora sized two pigeons for the job. Umberto the Tailor Inc.’s efforts to collect the Connecticut default judgment in Westchester are based on the belief that McKenna is employed by OTR Global LLC, an international financial consulting firm in Purchase. McKenna’s LinkedIn profile shows him working for OTR as a managing director from July 2015 to the present. But according to a
BrokerCheck report by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, he has not worked at OTR since October 2017 and he is no longer registered as a broker. Efforts to find contact information for McKenna, to get his side of the story, failed. Umberto the Tailor was represented in the Fairfield lawsuit by Louis P. Pittocco of Greenwich. His attorney in the Westchester case is Steven D. Feinstein of Feinstein & Naishtut LLP of Rye Brook.
Yonkers Wholesale Beer loses appeal on $9.5M state tax assessment

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com
A
n administrative law judge has reaffirmed a $9.5 million sales tax assessment against Yonkers Wholesale Beer Distributors Inc. and owner Richard McDine. Judge Dennis M. Galliher ruled in October that the beer business had willfully failed to file several sales tax returns and had not proved that most of its sales were tax exempt. Yonkers Wholesale claimed that 80 percent of its sales were exempt from taxes as wholesale transactions to retail vendors and 20 percent were taxable as retail sales. That ratio, the state argued, is unusually low. The state Division of Taxation calculated that Yonkers Wholesale failed to properly account for $92.9 million in sales from 2009 to 2016. McDine did not immediately respond to a message requesting his side of the story. Yonkers Wholesale operates a store at 424 Riverdale Ave. as Yonkers Discount Beverage Center.
The dispute traces back to 2009, when a new law required alcoholic beverage wholesalers to file annual returns that enumerate transactions with tax-exempt vendors. Yonkers Wholesale filed the returns for 2009 and 2010, according to the judge’s ruling, then stopped filing. The state issued an audit letter in 2013, demanding proof of exempt sales: invoices, cash journals, cash register tapes and tax-exempt documents. The business responded with bank statements, federal tax returns and a list of fixed assets. The state made additional requests for sales records but Yonkers Wholesale, the state maintained, provided neither the detailed sales information nor the required tax returns. “We have found that you owe additional tax,” state auditors said in a 2015 letter, “as a result of errors you made in recordkeeping and reporting sales.” The tax agency used information from third-party vendors to calculate $92.9 million in “unaccounted-for sales.” The state accepted Yonkers Wholesale’s reported gross sales but
was unwilling to accept, without proof, the business’ estimate of how much was tax-exempt. The state assessed $9.5 million in taxes, penalties and interest and proposed a revocation of the beer business’ sales tax certificate of authority. Yonkers Wholesale petitioned the Division of Tax Appeals, arguing that the assessments “are arbitrary and do not reflect the correct amount of tax due.” Galliher found that Yonkers Wholesale did not dispute that it had failed to file required tax returns, despite numerous requests by the state, and it had presented no additional documents or witnesses to verify that 80 percent of sales were nontaxable. “In the absence of any such records,” he ruled, the state “is under no obligation to guess as the portion of a vendor’s sales, if any, that are, or might possibly be, non-taxable.” Accordingly, he concluded, the penalties are sustained. Yonkers Wholesale was represented by accountant Michael Buxbaum of Buxbaum Sales Tax Consulting LLC of New City.
The passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) in late 2017 ushered in some of the most significant Federal tax legislative changes in over thirty years. One of the more notable changes, impacting residents of states with high state and local income and property taxes, including New York State/ City and Connecticut, was the $10,000 cap on the deduction for state and local taxes (“SALT”) taken as an itemized deduction on an individual’s personal return. The SALT cap, along with other TCJA modifications impacting itemized deductions, including the elimination of miscellaneous itemized deductions such as investment management fees and unreimbursed business expenses, will likely increase the percentage of taxpayers for whom it will be more beneficial to take the standard deduction ($24,000 for married filing jointly and $12,000 for those filing single). A consequence of taking the standard deduction versus itemizing deductions is that when a taxpayer doesn’t itemize their deductions they lose any Federal tax benefit for their charitable contributions (“Doing Things Nice”). As this is the time of year when taxpayers are not only thinking about year-end tax planning, but also contributing to various charitable organizations in the spirit of giving for the holidays, it is the perfect time to review these interrelated topics. This piece provides both a high level overview of the measures New York State and Connecticut have taken in response to TCJA’s SALT cap and some individual tax planning opportunities (“Advice”), specific to charitable contributions, which taxpayers might consider depending on their individual circumstances. During the summer of 2018 New York State enacted a program that establishes a new optional employer compensation expense tax. The strategy behind the program is that an employer would reduce their employees’ pay by the optional tax and the employee would be able to take a significant portion of the pay reduction as a credit on their New York State income tax return. This program is designed to both reduce the employee’s Federal and New York State taxable wages thereby reducing their Federal and New York State taxable income and tax obligations and to make the employee whole. This is accomplished by granting the employee a credit on their New York State income tax return in the amount equating to the wage reduction. The optional employer compensation expense tax is an election that is made by the employer taking the power to make the decision away from individual employees. It is an all or nothing election, which may prove to be problematic for employers with multiple locations and employees located outside of New York State. The optional employer compensation expense tax begins in the 2019 tax year at 1.5% of wages in excess of $40,000 and increases in successive years until it reaches 5% in
2021. Employers needed to make the election for 2019 by December 1st. This election would generally be coordinated with the entity’s payroll company. Employers and employees should both be aware of a potential challenge by the IRS requiring them to prove that a voluntary assessment is still in fact a tax. If the program is successful, the employee is getting a federal tax deduction (reduced wages) rather than paying NYS a federally nondeductible income tax. Also, during the summer of 2018, Connecticut enacted a pass-thru entity tax (“PET”). The PET is designed to ease the burden on owners and partners of Connecticut passthrough entity businesses such as partnerships, S corporations, and LLCs treated as partnerships. The PET is calculated at 6.99% and is deductible in arriving at Federal taxable income attributable to the pass-thru entity. The individual owners and partners of the entity will then in turn receive a reduced proportional credit on their individual Connecticut income tax returns when they are filed. The PET is not applicable to Corporations, Single Member Limited Liability Companies, Publically Traded partnerships, or sole proprietors. As mentioned above, due to the SALT deduction limitations some taxpayers who had historically itemized their deductions might find themselves in a situation where taking the standard deduction is more advantageous. If this is the case a taxpayer will potentially lose any Federal tax benefit from contributing to their favorite charitable organizations. Besides the joy of giving itself, a taxpayer could get a Federal tax benefit by bunching their contributions every other year. Taxpayers over age 70 1/2 should also consider making a charitable contribution directly from their individual retirement account. Bunching of charitable contributions would work such that a taxpayer would make what they may contribute in two tax years in a single tax year possibly making it more advantageous for them to itemize their deductions in the “giving year” and take the standard deduction in the “nongiving” year. Contributions made directly from an individual retirement account is advantageous in that the income is not taxable income and the contribution is not a deduction so a taxpayer would not have to itemize their deductions to contribute to their favorite charitable organization in the most tax advantageous way possible. This strategy is limited to $100,000 per year and can only be done from IRAs, not other qualified retirement plans. The significant TCJA changes have made tax planning and strategizing for both businesses and individuals as important as it has ever been. Although the New York State and Connecticut workarounds to the SALT cap could come under IRS scrutiny, individual planning opportunities such as the bunching of charitable contributions and other strategies that have historically been done should be used to a taxpayers’ advantage. Should you have any questions regarding the impact of the TCJA, the state SALT workarounds, or other planning opportunities for your specific circumstances, please reach out to a Citrin Cooperman professional. We would also like to take this opportunity to wish you happy holidays and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2019.

that shares a block with both Financial Center buildings. GDC bought the apartment tower for $35 million last year and rebranded it as “The Metro.” In an interview with the Business Journal following the purchase, Ginsburg said he viewed the site’s redevelopment as a “legacy project. It’s iconic architecture in the commercial center of Westchester. I don’t want to do anything less than A-plus work.” The 309,000-square-foot 50 Main St. building would be left as offices under the plan. But the building would be updated to meet modern demands of tenants. That would include a new lobby entrance with a statue, a small bakery or flower shop with street and building access and a renovated cafeteria with outdoor dining. At the other property, 1-11 Martine Ave., about 200,000 square feet of the 262,000-square-foot building would be converted to residential space. That space would offer 188

Shopping—
from a screen, the reason they do it? It’s all tactile. Eighty-four percent of those polled by Vixxo said they like to be able to inspect and choose items themselves and not rely on a grocery picker. Critical to the buying decision was the freshness of the items, with 43 percent of shoppers demanding that their prepared foods be freshly made, according to the survey. The social aspect of grocery shopping was a major factor for millennials, who were found to be three times more likely than other age groups to say they enjoy the social interaction. Vixxo also found that just 14 percent of those polled were loyal to one store, with 45 percent saying they shopped at three or more stores in an average month. Sixty percent said they like the ambience and

studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The top three floors of the building would be left for offices. The building already features segmented entrances from when Pace University utilized it for its graduate programs. It will remain that way under new plans, with two separate lobbies for apartment residents and office workers. Both buildings will be served by a 1,033-space parking garage already enclosed within the site. Plans shown by GDC chief architect Leoncio Torres emphasized connecting the buildings better to the street and sidewalk. Council members noted the buildings are currently set back from the street, giving the appearance they are private and hurting what little retail space the center already has. The new retail buildings in the City Square concept would fill in those gaps. Renderings show the new storefronts on sidewalks with outdoor seating and rows of flowers. Passersby could be

walking path. The retail would be spread throughout the block. The plans include a 4,500-square-foot retail space at South Lexington and Martine avenues and a 4,200-square-foot retail
and restaurant space along Martine Avenue. The retail along Main Street, meanwhile, would be about 11,000 square feet. Each new building would have a brick and glass curtain wall to match the current
buildings on the block. “This is a part of town that sorely needs street level retail,” Mayor Thomas Roach said at the meeting. William Null, an attorney representing Ginsburg on City Square, described the area as “dead as you walk through the station, there’s nothing but the big Galleria and that’s not street friendly for anyone walking.” The city recently studied the blocks around its train station and created a plan aimed at attracting development that adds storefronts and places to live. City Square is the first proposal the city will review that takes advantage of the new zone. The train station itself is undergoing about $94 million in renovations from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. With the new zoning in place, Ginsburg’s plans would require only site plan approval. Roach said that the council would vote to refer the plans to other city departments for review at its next meeting. Torres said GDC hopes to start construction by April.
CBRE forecasts solid traffic for holiday shopping season BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com
A experience of shopping in actual non-VR (virtual reality) stores. “A key takeaway for grocery retailers is that effective facilities management impacts the customer experience. A well-maintained store can keep them coming back for more,”
WCBJ
Vixxo’s Chief Client Officer Warren Weller said. “In other words, assets matter. Maintaining and optimizing assets like food production equipment, lighting, digital signage and refrigeration is essential to delivering an exceptional customer experience.”
renewed interest by national retailers in Fairfield County’s top shopping districts should translate into a very happy holiday season at the cash register, according to a new report from CBRE. “We’ve seen renewed interest from national retailers in both Westport and in Greenwich recently, which bodes well for the overall economics of these areas and how we expect they will perform this holiday season,” said Jessica Curtis, senior vice president and restaurant practice leader at CBRE in Stamford. “For example, on Main Street in Westport several big-name brands, like Williams Sonoma, Lululemon and Peloton, have recently taken new space or have plans to expand their
presence. In Greenwich, we have seen openings by Warby Parker, Frame Denim and Fjallraven.” Curtis added that the presence of these retailers sends a reaffirming message that Fairfield County is still a prime location for shopping. CBRE also noted that Fairfield County was outperforming Westchester County for retail sales. During the first half of 2018, Fairfield County’s retail sales growth
was 2.4 percent, up from 1.8 percent in the same period in 2017. However, Westchester’s retail sales growth rate in the first half of 2018 was 1.8 percent, a drop from the 2 percent rate during the same period of 2017. On a national level, CBRE noted that a robust economy and near-full employment fueled retail sales growth to a six-year high during the first half of the year, with forecasts of retail sales gains of up to 4.8 percent for the holiday season. Enhanced retail loyalty programs and incentives for buy-online/pickup-in-store options will help grow holiday season sales, CBRE added, while the closing of Toys “R” Us stores will boost toy sales at both the big box retailers including Walmart and Target and in other retailers, including Michaels, Party City and Ace Hardware that are including limited toy offerings.

Builder Robert Georgio brings design sensibilities to the canvas BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com
S
itting in a conference room at the office of his home building company in Rye, Robert Georgio joked he is a little concerned he may be confusing Google. The Rye resident recently launched the third initiative bearing his name, Robert Georgio Art, through which he will promote two separate series of contemporary paintings he has developed over the past five years. Georgio is best known in Westchester County’s business circles for Georgio Home, the top result on his Google search. The luxury-focused home construction and interior design company he founded and runs builds about a dozen homes each year in eastern Westchester and parts of Fairfield County. Recently built homes the company is marketing range between $2 million and $5 million. Georgio launched the home company in 2001 following a career running shoe retail and design stores, known as Georgio Shoes. Now in his mid-50s, the builder is transitioning into another pursuit, painting, one in which he has immersed himself for the past half decade to become self-taught. Art, he said, has provided an outlet for creativity outside of the more disciplined, budget-focused home building. He has built his skill and style through hundreds of paintings in a studio he built in the attic of his former home, and in the basement of his current one. “I lose myself in the time, and I can go down to my studio at 8 in the morning and suddenly look at my watch and it’s 5 o’clock and I’ll think, 'I didn’t even eat lunch. Did I have breakfast?' ” Georgio said.

“Nothing I’ve ever done has had that effect.” Georgio started running high-end shoe retail stores at age 21 and eventually owned and operated eight stores in the New York metro area. As he opened more stores, his interest in the bricks and mortar design of each location grew. “I found myself to be a contractor: ‘We’re going to rip this HVAC out. We’re going to put a new storefront on. This foundation looks shabby,’ ” Georgio described himself saying. “I inherently learned how to build.” He was approached to invest in a real estate project and eventually moved into home construction and development full time at the turn of the century, launching Georgio Home. The company operates out of a showroom and office
building on Theodore Fremd Avenue in downtown Rye. Real estate is a family business. His wife, Patricia, and one of his daughters, Jillian, run an interior design company, Patricia Georgio Designs, within the Georgio Home brand. His other daughter, Chelsea, is an agent for Houlihan Lawrence and represents Georgio Home properties. It was while working on a custom luxury home in Rye that Robert Georgio’s passion for painting was born. As he described it, the home was essentially designed around his client’s rare art collection, with the lighting and walls optimized to display rare pieces. “When they wheeled the art in when I was done, it just
blew me away,” Georgio said. “It was all abstract, vivid in color, but tranquil. I just got lost in the art.” He said he became obsessed with understanding the history of the artists and their methods, “but I never desired to go out to buy it or save for my first painting. I wanted to paint.” His listed inspirations include Frank Stella, Mel Bochner, Helen Frankenthaler and Andy Warhol. It was in 2013 that he first gave painting his own work a try. He drove to a local paint store near his home in Rye to pick up materials and spent a weekend experimenting. “It was just a stack of cheap canvases and a starter kit of acrylic paint,” Georgio said. “And I played with it and fell in love with the smell, the texture, the
whole feeling of it.” Rather than go for a paintbrush, he started experimenting with applying paint using different tools, such as 6-foot-long pallet knives he covers in paint and drags along the canvas. As he began to work on more pieces, his builder side kicked in. He decided to renovate the attic of his previous home in Rye to an artist studio. “I would spend any free minute I had there and began to focus in on what I liked,” he said. He’s spent the years since that first work honing his craft, attending art shows and building his portfolio. He moved homes last year and built a basement workspace he described as a Manhattan-style loft studio with 11-foot ceilings and all white walls, stocked with top-quality paints, his custom equipment and a wall mount that allows him to rotate a canvas as he works. Georgio’s art is made through a laborious process. He uses thick acrylic paint that he pulls and scraps to unveil distinct layers for his "Energy" series, utilizing a resin and silver leaf finish to add a glossy vibrancy to each piece. His other series, "Motion," uses 6-foot brushes and pallet knives to dig or etch movements in thick layers of monochromatic oil paint. The method creates, as he described in an artist statement, striations that “catch and reflect light while the rhythmic textures of the oil elicit a sense of motion.” Georgio said he reached this year the point where he is comfortable showing his work. That includes launching a promotional website and, recently, putting his art on display at an open house for a home he built. He has also started meeting with art gallery curators for consideration. His art already hangs in hotels, restaurants and with private collectors.

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Build a campaign, not an event. Make sure your offer works. Get noticed. Make sure you target the right recipients. Why are you sending out this mailer? To get more customers, right? And how do you do that? By building relationships with people. By getting people to trust you and your company. By motivating people to take action to better their lives. Show prospects more about what your company does. Give them a reason to care about or relate to what you’re showing off. Test until you know you’re generating enough excitement that the recipient is moved to act on the spot. Think about using mailers to share information about customers who have become more successful by working with your company or by using your company’s products. Offer useful success tips and you might entice people to look for your next mailer. Tell your readers that you’re giving out discounts on different products or services as part of a stream of mailers and you may hook them into contacting you to find out if you’ll send them a postcard right away related to the specific product or service they’re interested in. Instead of one and done, think about engaging with the same group of prospects multiple times. Bear with recipients who may overlook your cards the first, second or third times you send them out. But make each card similar enough to the others such that readers begin to recognize the look and feel. Figure out what your audience considers amazing, then offer them exactly that. Are the buyers you’re targeting holding back because the price is a little too steep? Offer a discount. Do they want something that seems too inconvenient to bother with? Make it easy for them to get your product or service by offering overnight shipping or delivery at no additional cost, perhaps with an additional gift included as a reward for ordering right away. Are they seeking top quality? Give them testimonials and a top-quality sample that’s sure to please. Want to know who received and read your mailer? Point recipients to a questionnaire online and a gift or automatic entry into a raffle if they complete the questionnaire right away. Or give them a tear-off to mail back, with a code that identifies who the card was mailed to. Make your card appealing enough to pay attention, but more importantly, make it
simple to absorb. Little bit of info. Simple graphics. Grab your target’s attention. Give readers enough information to whet their appetites and an offer that is hard to turn down. Then tell them how to get what you’re offering — go to the website and enter a code, call this number to register. Make it simple and easy to take action. Test things out with a small target group where you can perfect things until a higher percentage of recipients take action. Then test again to see if results hold up. You can have the best card in the world, but if it goes out to people who don’t care, any mailer will fail. Define the criteria of people likely to buy from you. Figure out what makes them care about your company by asking a sample group a set of direct questions. Once you know you’re talking to the right sample group, figure out what else is common about the group — the things they all like. Use the commonalities as part of your demographics to build your mailing list.

Consultant sues Ginsburg Development for $500,000 and his brother Samuel, who is not named as a defendant in the complaint. The purpose of the multiple transactions, DDD claims, was to conceal the developers’ interests in the property. “This deception,” the complaint states, “was initiated and orchestrated so that Ginsburg Development would avoid paying monies rightfully owed DDD under the consulting agreement.” The allegations are similar to charges DDD made in a 2013 lawsuit filed against the Ginsburg companies. Brout claimed then that Ginsburg companies owed $500,000 for DDD’s work on the Christie Place condominium in Scarsdale. The Ginsburg companies filed a counterclaim stating that they had overpaid DDD and were owed nearly $700,000. The parties settled the dispute in 2014, with Ginsburg Development Cos. agreeing to pay DDD $385,000. DDD is represented in the new lawsuit by Andrew Greene of White Plains.

Rhode Island consultant claims that Ginsburg Development Cos. owes $500,000 for its share of profits in a Brooklyn project. DDD Properties LLC sued Ginsburg Development LLC of Valhalla, Ginsburg Development Companies LLC of Manhattan and Martin Ginsburg on Nov. 13 in Westchester Supreme Court. The companies “engaged in a shell game,” DDD principal Douglas Brout alleges, “to divert or veil their interests” in the Brooklyn project. Martin Ginsburg and an attorney for Ginsburg Development Cos., Mark Ginsburg, did not immediately respond to telephone and email messages requesting their side of the story. The Brooklyn project was a renovation of two 1800s mid-rise loft buildings at 220 Water St. in the Dumbo neighborhood. The former shoe factory was gutted, according to news accounts, and converted to 135 apartments in 2012. DDD Properties of Little Compton, Rhode Island, and Ginsburg Development signed a consulting deal in 2004. If Ginsburg Development or

any of its affiliates acquired 220 Water St., according to the complaint, DDD was to receive 5 percent of net profits from rentals and other income. DDD Properties agreed to work 30 hours a week on the project. It claims it provided several services, such as doing an environmental analysis, applying for state tax credits and working with architects and contractors on design and development. Ginsburg Development terminated the consulting agreement in 2008. Years later, DDD alleges, Ginsburg Development and Ginsburg Development Companies claimed that neither they nor any related entities had ever acquired an interest in the property. The lawsuit describes numerous transactions from 1997 to 2011, involving several similarly named limited liability companies, trusts and funds, concerning ownership of the property. DDD claims that the entities are connected to Ginsburg Development, Ginsburg Development Companies, Martin Ginsburg,

How becoming ‘dementia-aware’ is good for business
A
s business owners and leaders of organizations, we have a role to play in providing a more supportive community for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia and their caregivers. Dementia is one of the greatest challenges we face in society today: 5.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, which is the most common cause of dementia (a set of symptoms that can include memory loss, difficulty thinking, problem solving.). That’s projected to rise to 14 million by 2050, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. One in 10 people age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s or dementia. Every 65 seconds, someone in the U.S. develops the disease. And 16.1 mil-

lion Americans provide unpaid caregiving for people with Alzheimer’s. What does it mean for business? With this rise, it’s likely that dementia already affects some of your employees, customers or clients personally or professionally. With some 70 percent of those with Alzheimer’s and dementia living in the community (as opposed to dementia care facilities), there’s a good chance people with early signs of the disease and their caregivers will frequent local businesses — our financial institutions, shops, pharmacies, social service agencies, hospitals and medical offices. But they face challenges, and stigmas, because of the disease that make it difficult to remain engaged in community life. Becoming more dementia aware just may provide a competitive advantage for your business. A study in the U.K. showed 83 percent of people with dementia and their caregivers patronized businesses that are more “dementia friendly.” With the rise in Alzheimer’s, there’s an economic case for us as business owners to do more. Becoming more dementia aware may also create more positive outcomes the next time a customer walks out of your business without paying or a patient leaves your office without their prescription or care instructions, or a client shows up at your office on the wrong day and time.
WHAT YOUR BUSINESS CAN DO
While there’s no cure in sight, there’s much we can do to help our businesses and employees to become more accessible to those living with Alzheimer’s or dementia.

KNOW THE SIGNS
An easy place to start is to understand the early signs of Alzheimer’s and related dementias. Symptoms include memory loss, difficulty thinking, problem solving or new problems with recalling words, difficulty in completing familiar tasks and confusion with time or place (the Alzheimer’s Association has a succinct list of all 10 signs on its website). Dementia is progressive, which means that many people can continue to drive, work, shop and go about their daily lives until the symptoms worsen. They may otherwise seem healthy and appear “normal.” But a person with dementia might forget their address, become confused about where they are or exhibit sudden aggressive behavior. A general awareness among the business community would go a long way toward providing a more accessible and supportive community.

Dementia—
one. When communicating with someone who has dementia, get the person’s full attention before you start speaking. Body language is critical: be open and relaxed, look people in the eye, avoid open-ended questions, speak slowly, clearly and directly (avoid idioms) and in short, simple sentences. Rephrase your question in a different way instead of repeating. These simple steps would go a long way toward being a more inclusive community. The movement toward becoming more supportive of those with dementia and their caregivers is gaining traction. Launched in 2015, Dementia Friendly America is helping communities across the nation find ways to help those with the disease remain engaged with their business and civic organizations. At United Hebrew of New Rochelle, we are on the front lines of dementia care and play a key support role for people with dementia and their families.

By taking steps now to become more dementia aware, we will meet a growing need from our customers, clients and staff. We just might improve our bottom line along the way.

orkers who are injured at work and need an outpatient surgery often have an option to have a surgery done at an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) or a hospital outpatient department. While the nature of the surgical intervention is identical in both settings, the surgery costs may differ. Supported by studies of surgery payments for Medicare and group health patients, ASCs promote themselves as a less costly setting for outpatient surgeries. This evidence, however, may not apply to workers who are injured at work and need surgeries as part of their workers’ com-
pensation cases. How do payments for surgeries performed on injured workers in ASCs and hospital outpatient settings compare? This question was addressed in a new study by the Workers Compensation Research Institute titled “WCRI FlashReport: Comparing Payments to Ambulatory Surgery Centers and Hospital Outpatient Departments.” To answer the question, we examined two groups of the most common surgeries that are performed on injured workers in outpatient settings (knee and shoulder arthroscopies) and collected information for all payments to facilities
that were associated with these surgical episodes. The study found that payments for knee and shoulder surgeries performed in ASCs were lower than payments for similar surgeries performed in hospital outpatient departments in many study states. However, there were a few exceptions that employers, insurers and workers’ compensation stakeholders should take into account. In 2016, payments for knee surgeries done at ASCs were lower than payments for similar surgeries done in hospital outpatient departments in 14 of the 18 states that we » SURGERY

Surgery—
examined. In three states, the payments were similar, and in one state, Indiana, payments for ASC surgeries were 59 percent higher than payments for hospital outpatient surgeries. Payments for shoulder surgeries done at ASCs in 2016 were lower than payments for similar surgeries done in hospital outpatient departments in 11 states. In five states, the payments were similar and in two states (Georgia and Indiana) payments for ASC surgeries were higher than payments for hospital outpatient surgeries. Why don’t we always find that surgeries in ASC settings are less costly than surgeries in hospital outpatient departments? This can be attributed to multiple factors, such as a state’s fee schedule regulations, network participation rates or negotiat-
ed prices. For example, in Indiana, payments for hospital outpatient surgeries are reimbursed at 200 percent of Medicare after the adoption of a hospital fee schedule in 2014, while payments to ASCs remain unregulated. In New York state, payments for knee and shoulder surgeries performed at ASCs in 2016 were similar to the payments for knee and shoulder surgeries performed in hospital outpatient departments. This was driven by the workers’ compensation fee schedule in the state, which sets similar fees for surgeries performed in both settings. The study also examined trends in payments for each of the states included in the analysis. In New York, average ASC payments for knee surgeries and shoulder surgeries experienced large increases, which reflected changes in the state’s ASC
and hospital outpatient fee schedules that regulate payments to facilities. The 18 states included in this study were California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin. They were selected because they are geographically diverse, represent a range of system features and represent the range of states that are higher, near the middle and lower on costs per claim.

Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me, When I’m Sixty Four? By Bernard A. Krooks, Certified Elder Law Attorney
N
ot sure that the Beatles were thinking about fi nancing long-term care when they wrote this song, but you and your family should be! Seventy percent of Americans age 65 and older will need some form of long-term care during their lifetime and fi fty percent will need care in a nursing home. Unfortunately, the United States has no health insurance system for long-term care. To many, this comes as a rude awakening as their health declines and the need for care arises. In fact, this topic is so important that I recently did a presentation to over 3,300 estate planning professionals on this topic at the 52nd Annual Heckerling Institute on Estate Planning conference in Orlando, Florida. The Heckerling Estate Planning institute is the pre-eminent estate planning conference in the country and my presentation addressed the myriad of options available to people in need of long-term care, how to fi nance such care, and other issues that should be addressed during this process. Now, you might be thinking, why would such a large group of estate planning professionals need to learn about planning for long-term care? Well, because this issue affects just about everyone. While the estate tax is now a concern for only a limited number of people due to the increased federal and New York State estate tax exemptions, chronic illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease or Parkinson’s disease can affect anyone, regardless of net-worth. For many middle-class families, a catastrophic illness can result in bankruptcy. Unfortunately, our country, in deciding whether to pay for care, discriminates based on the type of care you need. If you need skilled nursing care such as rehabilitation services, then Medicare offers some limited coverage. However, if you need help with activities of daily living, such as bathing, toileting, dressing, etc., Medicare will not pay for the cost of your care. Thus, you are forced to pay outof-pocket for this very expensive care, which can exceed $200,000 annually. If you have an illness such as Alz-
heimer’s disease, this can last several years, and the cost of care can be exorbitant. Medicaid, the only government benefit program which pays for longterm care, is intended to be for those who are poor and has strict income and asset requirements that must be met before any benefits are paid. So, what should you do? The best possible advice I can give is to think about these issues in advance and plan accordingly. While it is never too late to plan, the options available to those who plan in advance far exceed those available to those who wait until the last minute. By waiting, you may be costing yourself and your family tens of thousands of dollars, or more. The best way to plan is to meet with a Certified Elder Law Attorney and review the options available to you. One of your options may be to purchase long-term care insurance. This is insurance specifically designed to cover care delivered at home, in an assisted living facility or in a nursing home, as the case may be. This insurance can be extremely helpful since Medicare will not cover these costs on a longterm basis. When reviewing long-term care insurance policies, make sure you consider a policy with inflation protection since long-term care costs continue to rise and you don’t want your policy to be outdated when it comes time to use it. Also, make sure that the policy covers the type(s) of care you may need in the future. The earlier you buy the policy, the less it will cost. Of course, you will be paying premiums for a longer period of time, but, if you have the inflation rider, the benefits will also increase over time. In order to obtain long-term care insurance, you must go through an arduous underwriting process. Many people are rejected by the insurance company due to existing physical conditions or cognitive impairment. If you are rejected by the insurance company or otherwise decide not to purchase long-term care insurance, there are still options available to you to help protect your assets, including certain types of trusts which can benefit you and your family. In addition, certain

types of life insurance policies may have a long-term care rider which can be accessed in the event a long-term care need arises. Whatever you decide to do, please at least take time to think through these issues with a qualified professional and make an informed decision as to next steps. Bernard A.

POLAR PLUNGE RAISES $153K
“Freezin’ for a Reason” was the name given the 10th annual Westchester Polar Plunge. The reason was to raise funds for Special Olympics New York. The plunge took place Nov. 17 at Glen Island Park in New Rochelle and achieved its goal of raising $153,000. A team of 30 students from Stepinac High School in White Plains was among the teams and individuals who walked, ran or crawled into Long Island Sound at high noon and stayed there briefly, thus earning pledged amounts for the Special Olympics. While the air temperature recorded at noon was 46 degrees F., the water temperature was a comparatively balmy 55. Stepinac’s Principal Paul Carty, who led the school’s contingent, said, “Stepinac’s students, especially members of the Crusaders varsity sports teams, have closely identified with and generously supported Special Olympics New York’s cause of providing year-round sports training and athletic competitions for children and adults with intellectual disabilities.” Special Olympics currently has 68,547 athletes training and competing in 22 Olympics-style sports. The 2018 Westchester Polar Plunge coincided with the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Special Olympics by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, sister of President John F. Kennedy and Senators Robert F. Kennedy and Edward M. Kennedy.

BLESSING A SURGICAL UNIT
There was an interfaith service at Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow before a new surgical unit was opened. The traditional service is known as Blessing of Hands and pays homage to the doctors who provide patient care. Rev. Carole Johanssen, the hospital’s chaplain coordinator, led the service. Prayers also were offered by Rev. Tenku Ruff, a board-certified chaplain and president of the Soto Zen Buddhist Association in Chappaqua and Rabbi David Holtz of Temple Beth Abraham in Tarrytown. The new surgical unit, 3 North, provides private patient rooms that have the aesthetics of hotel rooms. Many of these rooms have views of the Hudson River and feature equipment that minimizes noise and alarms that can disrupt a patient’s rest. Phelps is one of the facilities operated by Northwell Health System. Daniel Blum, the president and CEO of Phelps, said, “We are grateful to everyone who cares for patients and we honor their commitment.” Michael Dowling, CEO of Northwell Health System, said, “This tradition that we are experiencing today reminds us of our common humanity.”
JUNIOR ACHIEVEMENT RECEIVES $10K GRANT
Junior Achievement of New York (JANY) has received a grant of $10,000 from the KeyBank Foundation for use in bringing financial literacy programs to students in the lower Hudson Valley. In addition, volunteers from the bank will work with JANY. “Giving young people an understanding of how to work with money responsibly is a top priority for Junior Achievement because it’s not just important to the well-being of the individual, but to their families and our community as a whole,” said Joseph Peri, JANY’s president. Joseph Markey, market president for KeyBank in the Hudson Valley and metro New York, said, “Learning how to budget and save money at a young age prepares our youth for their future and helps them avoid missteps that could hamper their long-term financial success. KeyBank’s partnership with Junior Achievement of New York will provide area students with the tools necessary to achieve financial wellness.”
Information for these features has been submitted by the subjects or their delegates.
ROTHMAN ORTHOPAEDIC IN TARRYTOWN Rothman Orthopaedic Institute has opened an office in Tarrytown, its first location in New York state outside of Manhattan. Rothman has more than 30 offices in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The organization was founded in 1970 by Dr. Richard Rothman who died Oct. 21 at the age of 81. The new Tarrytown office is at 658 White Plains Road. Sports medicine physicians seeing patients there include Anthony Romeo, Meghan Bishop and Brandon Erickson. Dr. Joseph Kim Lee concentrates on the spine, while Justin Lee specializes in feet and ankles. Dan Seigerman is the hand and wrist specialist. Dr. Alexander R. Vaccaro, president of the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, said, “Rothman’s expansion from a regional orthopaedic practice to a national one will rely on our integration into major metropolitan suburbs like Westchester County.”

HOW TO LIVE LONGER The Pro Bono Partnership event was at Cipriani 42nd Street in Manhattan.
The White Plains-based Pro Bono Partnership (PBP) recently held its 21st Anniversary Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City. The sold-out event raised more than $1.8 million to help support PBP’s operations, which provide free legal services to nonprofit organizations in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Ari Melber, chief legal correspondent for MSNBC and anchor of the daily news and commentary program “The Beat,” hosted the
event. 2018 Pro Bono Champion Awards were presented to Aetna Inc. and Thomas J. Reid, managing partner of the law firm Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP in recognition of their service to the community and commitment to PBP. PBP Executive Director Nancy Eberhardt told the gathering, “I’m proud of our mission and the work we do to strengthen and empower organizations that are doing such valuable work in our communities. We can do this only with the help of 1,400

in-house and law firm volunteer attorneys who, each year, make the Pro Bono Partnership program possible. Our volunteers answered the call for assistance with nearly 1,800 matters last year, which helped 800 of our neighborhood nonprofits avoid risk, build capacity and preserve their scarce financial resources for their programs.” The value of the legal services provided to nonprofits each year through PBP is placed at $9.7 million.
ELIZABETH SETON FOUNDATION EVENT RAISES $435K Marsha Rand speaking to guests at the UHR gala.
RAND FAMILY HONORED BY HOSPICE The Rand family, which operates Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty, was honored at the United Hospice of Rockland’s (UHR) “Dancing With Our Stars” gala held recently at the Pearl River Hilton in Pearl River. About 450 people attended the event, which celebrated UHR’s 30th anniversary. Also honored during the event was UHR’s CEO Amy Stern. Marsha Rand, Better Homes and Gardens Rand Realty’s CEO, said, “Business is fine, but family is the most important. While we are a part of the community, we always realize that family comes first. It is my honor to be part of Hospice.” The Rand family has actively supported UHR since the nonprofit began providing quality of life services for individuals and their families facing serious illnesses.
The St. Elizabeth Seton Children’s Foundation held its annual fall fundraiser, “Bella Notte,” on Nov. 15. The event raised more than $435,000, which the foundation says makes it the most successful event ever. WABC-TV’s Sade Baderinwa served as master of ceremonies. Honored during the event were Frank Oswald, a foundation board member and his wife, Dina, along with Raffaele Ronca and Sandra Lee. Oswald said. “…it’s the staff at the Pediatric Center who are truly doing the hard work 24/7 in providing the kids the best care possible (and) it is they and the kids themselves who inspire people like us to want to do whatever we can to help.” Ronca accepted his Champion for Children Award and reflected on his experience as an immigrant coming to New York and forming meaningful bonds with friends who became family. Lee, partner of Gov. Andrew Cuomo, also was honored with a Champion for Children Award, but was unable to attend.
When people gathered for United Hebrew of New Rochelle’s annual meeting Nov. 14, they heard a few things you usually don’t expect to hear at an annual meeting: tips for living a longer, healthier life. The principal speaker was Jane Brody of The New York Times, who reports on medical, science and nutrition topics. She also writes the weekly “Personal Health” column that is syndicated nationwide. “Too many people believe that genes control your destiny,” Brody said. “That’s untrue. It’s been scientifically proven that 20-30 percent of our health is programmed by genes and 70-80 percent is how we live our lives.” Brody said her four keys to a longer and healthier life are to follow a sensible plant-based diet, exercise every day for 30 minutes, maintain social connections, and have meaning and purpose in your life. “It’s never too late to start,” said Brody. “No one will take better care of you than yourself.”
