ark Nordlicht, the former hedge fund founder facing criminal charges in the alleged $1 billion Platinum Partners securities fraud, has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.

Nordlicht, who once

managed $1.7 billion in assets, declared personal assets of $137,052 and liabilities of more than $206 million in a petition filed June 29 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains.

He listed no work income, but “if Mr. Nordlicht’s criminal situation is resolved successfully,” the petition states, “he anticipates being able to resume employment at

that time.”

Nordlicht, 52, of New Rochelle, co-founded Platinum Partners in 2003. In 2016, the federal prosecutor in Brooklyn accused him of defrauding bondholders and looting assets in a “Ponzi-like” investment fraud.

Last year a jury found Nordlicht guilty on three charges and acquitted » BANKRUPTCY

entists, like other medical professionals, have been making concerted efforts to reopen their practices as safely and quickly as possible as COVID-19 shutdown restrictions are being eased. According to a survey by the American Dental Association’s (ADA) Health Policy Institute, as of the week of June 15, patient volume nationwide was at 65% of pre-COVID levels, up from 38% in mid-May. The survey was sent to 70,000 dentists and 19,000 of them responded. The ADA reported that 97% of dental offices that participated in the survey

were open for elective care, an increase from 90% in the first week of June. In early April, only 3% of dental practices had been open for elective procedures.

The ADA invited 13,000 dentists to participate in another survey panel. Those results, broken down by state, showed that in New York as of June 15: 24.1% of the dentists were open and doing business as usual; 70.2% were open but with lower patient volume than usual; 4.1% were closed but seeing emergency patients only; and 1.6% were closed and not seeing any patients.

Ridgefield businesses hold steady during pandemic

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

R

idgefield’s business community for the most part retained its employee base during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic and grew online sales when brickand-mortar operations were shut down, according to a new study released by the Ridgefield Economic & Community Development Commission (ECDC).

The study, which was conducted with the COVID Ridgefield Recovery Committee, polled 145 businesses and nonprofits that were based in three categories: professional services, restaurants and retail, and the combined arts/culture and fitness/recreation sector.

The survey found 62% of respondents maintained a flat staffing level during the pandemic while 5% increased their workforce. However, 33% were forced to make cuts as a result of the pandemic’s impact on the local economy. But looking ahead over the next six months, 60% of respondents said there would be no reduction in their workforce, with 10% predicting job cuts and 30% claiming they were unsure.

ECDC Chairman Geoffrey Morris credited Ridgefield’s business community for pulling through via a combination of federal aid and proactive outreach to customers.

“Some of it has to do with PPP (Paycheck Protection Program), no question,” he said.

“But also, people were able to keep business going by moving things online and continuing to be in touch with customers while saying, ‘Shop local, come support us.’”

E-commerce certainly helped during this time — roughly one-third of respondents said online activity accounted for all of their sales during the shutdown period. In comparison, the online sales component accounted for less than 10% of total revenues for 80% of respondents.

Nonetheless, 76% of respondents saw their revenues decrease during the pandemic, though 24% said they experienced an increase.

Morris believed Ridgefield’s business community was emerging from the pandemic with cautious confidence.

“I would say given the national climate, I think the business mood and morale is pretty good with a lot of trepidation,” he said.

“In other words, people are moving along nicely. The closing and the reopening were smooth, but revenues are down. And there is a huge potential cliff in front of people if the whole COVID thing goes bad again.”

As for a pandemic reprise, 62% of respondents said they would be able to survive another shutdown, either through self-financing or with some form of financial assistance, while 38% were either unsure or believed another shutdown would be FCBJ

fatal to their operations.

ECDC Commissioner Bob Knight, said that the current socioeconomic state is requiring businesses to meet unprecedented challenges without pausing to shudder.

“We’re living in interesting times — we’re simultaneously gone through the Spanish flu, the Great Depression, and the civil rights movement,” he said.

“And there’s a sense in the business community that things are moving quickly and you have to adapt. Our businesses that embraced more of an online sales presence are actually doing pretty well. And those who have innovated and are taking a fresh look are doing okay. We’re encouraging more businesses to do the same.”

As the pandemic began to disrupt the economy, Morris noted the ECDC worked with businesses regarding health issues and navigating the process of obtaining financial assistance to stay operational. Morris also praised First Selectman Rudy Marconi for being “very active in the community and talking directly with a lot of businesses.”

Still, challenges remain, including a conspicuous number of retail vacancies along Main Street in the heart of Ridgefield’s central business district. Morris asserted the post-pandemic focus of the ECDC will include strengthening the retail environment with new businesses, and he observed that retail trends appear to be favoring the Main Street experience.

“When you look nationally at the impact of the pandemic on malls, you could see a lot of banks winding up owning malls,” he said. “It’s anticipated that that several malls nationally are going to close. They’re creating opportunities for more ‘shop local’ campaigns — and people are thinking more locally, anyway.

And if there’s less opportunity to go to a mall, there’s going to be greater opportunity to come locally.”

“It’s also an opportunity for a town like Ridgefield to start having a conversation about the types of retail that we’re going to be looking for in the medium-term and maybe even longterm,” Knight said. “Does that mean we need to embrace more national types of retailers or we continue to embrace more local retail? We’re starting to have those conversations now.”

Confident of Ridgefield’s business future, Morris noted a new wave of residents eager to make their homes in town would also be taking advantage of local businesses.

“Look at our residential real estate market right now, it’s absolutely booming,” he said. “You can’t find a rental anywhere and housing, especially high-end housing, is off the shelves very quickly. “We’re having an influx of new residents and young families. There are new opportunities that are coming up now.”

Mega wine store loses appeal for Hartsdale license

BY BILL HELTZEL bheltzel@westfairinc.com

A

n appeals court has upheld decisions by the New York State Liquor Authority (SLA) and a lower court that denied a liquor license for a proposed mega wine store in Hartsdale.

The Third Appellate Division in Albany rejected arguments by White Plains Fine Wine & Spirits LLC that the denial was politically motivated and anticompetitive.

“We are satisfied that the SLA’s determination was not arbitrary, capricious or irrational,” the appellate court ruled in a June 25 decision.

White Plains Fine Wine is affiliated with Total Wine & More, a Bethesda, Maryland, company that operates 209 superstores in 25 states. It bills itself as “America’s Wine Superstore,” the largest independent retailer of fine wine, and the purveyor with the lowest prices.

A typical store stocks 8,000 different wines, 2,500 beers and 3,000 spirits, according to its website.

The $3 billion company, according to recent estimates, is owned by David Trone, a U.S. congressman in Maryland, and his brother, Robert Trone.

In 2018, the company proposed building a 21,093-square-foot store in The Dalewoods shopping center on Central Avenue in Hartsdale. Robert Trone applied to the state for a package store license.

Fifty-eight liquor stores and 25 elected officials opposed the application.

The elected officials ranged from mayors to state senators, according to a license bureau memorandum, including White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach, Westchester County Executive George Latimer and state Sen. Shelley Mayer.

The liquor authority denied the license in 2018, finding that existing liquor stores adequately served Westchester.

White Plains Fine Wine petitioned Albany Supreme Court to overturn the decision. Last September, the court dismissed the petition and the company appealed that ruling.

The state liquor authority must consider public convenience and advantage, the appellate court noted, and as long as the justifications are reasonable the decision must be upheld.

The liquor authority had found that existing stores sufficiently addressed the needs of consumers in the immediate area and that there was no demonstrated increase in demand for alcoholic beverages in Westchester.

Westchester has more than 200 liquor stores, including 50 within a

White Plains Fine Wine had also argued that the liquor authority was swayed by political opposition, “infected” by the economic interests of nearby liquor stores and improperly took into account that Robert Trone did not live in New York.

“We are not convinced that the alleged improper justifications contributed to or formed a basis for the SLA’s denial of petitioner’s application,” the appellate court ruling states.

White Plains Fine Wine was represented by Harris Beach PLLC of Albany, and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP of Manhattan. New York State Liquor Authority was represented by staff attorneys Gary Meyerhoff and Mark D. Frering.

New trade organization chapter opens in Westchester

each region where there’s members.

“Anyone who wants to join the larger organizations at the national or state level also needs to join the local organization.

They always bill it as a three-inone membership. You’re simultaneously a member of NAHB, NYSBA and the local one,” Foley said. He said that membership information is available online at baciw.org.

An initial slate of officers of

the new chapter has been chosen. The chief elected officer is Eric Abraham of Comstock Residential Contracting LLC in Briarcliff Manor. Vice chairman is Frank Cerbini of The NHP Foundation, which works to preserve and enrich affordable housing in America. Eric Messer of Sunrise Building and Remodeling Inc., in Briarcliff Manor is the secretary. Francine Caramella of FC Cornerstone in New Rochelle is serving as exec-

utive officer.

“There was not a Westchester chapter for NYSBA or NAHB,” Foley said. “There were folks who operated north of Westchester County who were part of the Hudson Valley Home Builders Association and there were, of course, folks who operated in Westchester and New York City who’d be part of one of the New York City chapters. But for folks who were primarily focused on Westchester County we simply did not have an option to join NYSBA or NAHB in their traditional structure.”

Foley said that an initial focus of the new chapter, along with the state and national groups, is in helping construction and remodeling firms get back on track following the shutdown of construction during the response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

“They have resources to help make local home builders and remodelers a lot more competitive; and that’s everything from discounts and rebates, which allow a local home builder to have access to the discounts that often are only available to the larger organizations, to educational programs and expertise,” Foley said.

Report details absence of African Americans in hospitality executive roles

temic problem — it has to be built into the way the industry is currently running.

Within the executive hierarchy of the hospitality industry, African Americans account for only 0.9% of presidents and 0.7% of CEOs. Most African American presidents and CEOs are men (86%), and the 14% of African American women to reach those positions account for 0.1% of all industry chiefs.

Only 1 in 60 vice president positions and 1 in 66 senior or executive vice president positions are held by African Americans. Within the industry, African American women’s representation in leadership is primarily in human resources, which employs 67% percent of black women directors, while their male counterparts are mostly found in operations and the accounting/finance departments. The report also pointed out that women are, as a whole, underrepresented

in leadership positions within this industry, with African American women comprising 2.8% of all women holding jobs at the managerial director through CEO levels.

Berg acknowledged that diversity in the leadership ranks has not been a priority in this industry, adding she hoped that the new data would enable “the industry to focus the conversation on solutions that can be measured.” But she added the recent national attention focused on racial inequality could spur the industry to take executive-level diversity more seriously.

“I think that’s something that’s currently in negotiation,” she said. “And I think we’ll know pretty quickly whether the industry is just giving lip service to concern or whether it actually is willing to take action. So far, it’s been a lot of expression of good intentions, but not yet real commitment.”

he New York State Builders Association and the National Association of Home Builders have 200,000 members nationwide, but until now have not had a discrete chapter in Westchester County. The two groups have now announced that their new local chapter, the Building and Allied Construction Industries of Westchester, is open for business and accepting members.

The chapter is being administered by The Building and Realty Institute of Westchester and the Mid-Hudson Region, which is based in Armonk. The institute has more than 1,800 members in 14 of New York’s counties. Among its members are commercial and residential builders, renovators, property managers, co-op and condo boards, along with suppliers and service providers who focus on real estate.

the report had a minimum of five hotels and/or 700 rooms and covered 6,302 individuals.

The report cited U.S. Department of Labor data in highlighting that African American employees made up 18.8% of hospitality industry workers. However, African Americans accounted for 1.5% of executive roles within the hospitality industry, compared with 4% of executive positions at S&P Global Ratings companies and 5% of executive positions across all industries.

“It’s very, very difficult for black people to move up in the hotel industry,” said Peggy Berg, chairwoman of the Castell Project. “I can tell from the numbers that there’s a sysFCBJ

WCBJ

Foley said the New York State Builders Association has a reputation for being in touch with the legislature as well as with the governor’s office. During the shutdown, it provided recommendations on how to reopen the construction industry as expeditiously and safely as possible.

The National Association of Home Builders during the same time period “actually was able to lobby the Department of Homeland Security to have construction listed as an essential service both for purposes of the pandemic but also moving forward in event of natural disasters or anything else along those lines,” Foley said.

“Part of the advantage of having the BRI as the administrator for (the new chapter) is we already have very close working relationships with the county executive, the Westchester County legislators and the county planning department as well as several of the municipalities,” Foley said.

He said he anticipates the new chapter to provide that extra dimension for the state and national members who are now part of the Westchester chapter.

Since the research for the report was completed, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the leisure and hospitality industry suffered the greatest volume of layoffs during the pandemic’s economic turmoil with the disappearance of 7.7 million jobs, or 47% of total positions. Berg said Castell Project would follow up on the new report to determine if any post-pandemic progress is being made on this issue.

“The next time we plan to release a new report is January,” she said, noting the furloughs and layoffs “happened so quickly that it couldn’t really happen with an eye to gender or racial equity. So, there’s a concern that what’s happened during this period was perhaps not equitable. We don’t really know how the rehiring happens. I hope it is truly a game-changer in terms of making opportunity available regardless of color or gender.”

Do the opposite of what you are thinking

hen it comes to selling a business, owners need to think differently than when managing day-to-day operations. The instincts and tactics that make them successful growing their companies are often wrong when exploring an exit.

DO NOT OVERSELL

Every day, business owners enthusiastically sell their value propositions to prospects, clients and employees.

Do the opposite! Experienced buyers are interested because they know the industry, the competitive landscape and the prospects for the future at least as well as, if not better than most sellers.

Overselling capabilities or opportunities in a sale process can result in disaster when real due diligence begins and new information comes to light.

If projections or positioning are too optimistic, management loses credibility, skepticism becomes pervasive and the transaction will most likely end in a “re-trade” on valuation or introduction of an earn out. It is always better to underpromise and overdeliver.

BE AN OPEN BOOK

When selling their business most owners do not want to show any weaknesses and are reluctant to disclose threats and setbacks, assuming that it is the best way to maintain a higher valuation. Some sellers take a “buyer beware” attitude thinking that “if they don’t find it, that’s their problem.” Others believe that contingent liabilities probably won’t happen, so why disclose them?

Do the opposite! Because sophisticated buyers hire teams of due diligence professionals whose only job is to identify risks, no stone goes unturned.

Undisclosed issues will inevitably be discovered by the buyer during diligence and will result in mistrust, leading them to ask the question “What else have I not been told?” Mistrust often results in more aggressive risk mitigation strategies such as a larger percentage of the purchase price placed in escrow or even an aborted transaction.

Interestingly most sellers’ “weaknesses” are “opportunities.” They can be a source of value, but only with early and full disclosure.

SPEND THE MONEY

The roof has been leaking for years and it is continuously patched, costing the company $10,000 every year. Sellers instinctively think: “If I am going to sell the business, why would I invest in a new roof? It just costs money that I don’t need to spend.”

The Justice Department has appealed the judge’s decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals, Second Circuit.

Nordlicht and his wife, Dahlia Kalter, they allege, moved millions of dollars in assets, including the New Rochelle house Kalter bought for $1.1 million in 2004, to offshore trusts and shell companies to avoid paying their debts.

Richard Stadtmauer is the uncle of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, and was second in command at the Kushner Cos. real estate empire in New Jersey. He was convicted in 2008

Nordlicht attributes the vast majority of family income to his wife, who is not part of the bankruptcy action. Her monthly income includes $3,325 from her law practice, $6,526 in other business income and $23,750 from her husband’s mother.

hospital’s operating rooms.

“Basically I’m a scientist,” Magid said. “I’m a doctor but this has always been my direction. I hold a number of patents in dentistry. A number of the devices used by almost every dentist are based on my patents, a bleaching light for bleaching teeth, for curing filling materials, for the light that’s in the drill that they use, those are all based on my patents.

I’ve been on the team that created a number of the lasers that are used in dentistry. I shepherded digital X-ray through the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) in regard to the United States.”

Magid also is an associate professor and assistant director of honors esthetics at the New York University College of Dentistry.

He is assistant director of cosmetic dentistry at NYU and teaches the subject.

Magid’s daughter Sabrina is a dentist and is with him in the practice, although she’s been on maternity leave and is due back

in August. The practice has three personnel at the office’s front desk, in addition to three dental hygienists and three assistants.

Magid also uses an additional technique to guard against COVID-19: fogging with hypochlorous acid, chemical designation HOCL. A mist of the acid is sprayed into the air and on surfaces from a hand-held electric misting machine. HOCL is a widely used agent that is effective against viral, bacterial and fungal pathogens. In fact, it’s produced by white blood cells in the human body to help in fighting infections.

“What we’ve done is added HOCL to a much broader program. I looked at this whole problem with coronavirus and said, ‘I’ve got to handle this comprehensively,’” Magid said. “We didn’t have anything this contagious before and we didn’t have anything with the deadly consequences of this virus before.”

Magid said his office is seeing fewer patients now because it allows 15 minutes between each appointment for sanitizing and other preparations.

“We thoroughly wipe and disinfect every surface, we autoclave (sterilize) every instrument, we’ve dealt with the aerosol we created, but the last part of the puzzle was saying, ‘If there’s anything I may have missed, what can I do?’” He said that fogging the entire room and even fogging staff members with HOCL between patients provides one more layer of antiviral protection.

“The question always was, ‘Are patients going to feel comfortable enough to come back?’”

Magid said. “The answer patients have told me over and over again is that in many ways they feel safer in my office than they do in their own homes. They know what we’ve done; they feel absolutely safe in our office.”

Power —

dentists were open and doing business as usual; 73.8% were open but with lower patient volume than usual; 6.3% were closed but seeing emergency patients only; and 1.3% were closed and not seeing any patients.

It wasn’t until May that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released its interim guidance for reducing the risk of spreading the novel coronavirus in dental settings.

The guidance contained recommended protocols to protect patients and staff. The CDC was a month behind the ADA, which issued its own interim guidance in April. The ADA called for building on infection control protocols already used in dental offices while using the highest level of personal protective equipment available.

“In my opinion, they don’t go far enough, not by a long shot,” Dr. Kenneth Magid of Advanced Dentistry of Westchester at 163 Halstead Ave. in Harrison told the Business Journal about the guidance.

“The first thing we’ve got to do, and everybody is doing this, is we’ve got to screen the patients on the phone with a whole series of questions to make sure they are not high risk,” Magid said.

“We don’t use our reception room; they come in our parking lot, they call the office. When we’re ready for them we tell them to come in. They’re met at the front door of the office.

Their temperature is taken, pulse-ox (blood oxygen level) is taken, more questions are asked.

They’re sanitized. They wear masks and they’re conducted right into the treatment room. At that point we have as much control as we can bringing them in.”

Magid said that of major concern are procedures such as

$2,500 for clothing and $52 in a bank account.

Most of the $206 million in liabilities are for lawsuit claims he disputes.

For instance, he disputes claims of more than $32 million by Richard and Marisa Stadtmauer of Livingston, New Jersey. They accused him in one lawsuit of personally guaranteeing a $10.5 million loan to Platinum Partners, just seven months before he was indicted.

cleanings with ultrasonic scalers that produce aerosols carrying particles and any virus lurking in the patient’s mouth into the air.

“The problem then really all stems from the fact that we produce aerosols. We take the stuff in the mouth and we aerosolize it. We protect ourselves by wearing N95 masks, face shields, surgical gowns, head covering, so we’re barrier protected ourselves. But now you’re going to create that aerosol and you’ve got to do something about it,” Magid said.

He said the high-speed suction tube a dentist puts in a patient’s mouth helps, but aerosols still get out of the mouth.

“What we did was order devices that use high-volume evacuation that goes next to the mouth, within six-inches of the mouth, and literally pulls the entire aerosol away from the face, away from my face, away from the patient’s face, sucks it into this device that runs it first FCBJ

through ultraviolet (UV) light treatment, then very fine HEPA filtering including titanium oxide treatment, and when it exhausts it you have air that has been thoroughly disinfected,” Magid said.

He said the devices are used with all six of the dental chairs in the practice’s treatment rooms, three chairs for hygiene and three for other dental procedures.

Magid also said of concern was the general air quality in the facility.

“In every room we have put a device that takes all the air in that area, and we have calculated it by cubic feet, takes all that air and again sucks it into a device, UV, HEPA filters, titanium oxide chamber, runs it through all of that, then basically turns over all the air in the room constantly.

In fact, it literally turns over the entire room in eight minutes,” Magid said.

He said that the quality of the air being released into the room is what you’d expect to find in a

loyd’s of London claims that purebred breeding pigs valued at nearly $295,000 were alive and well when they were placed on an Atlas Air flight in Chicago in 2018, but were dead or dying on arrival in China.

Lloyd’s, which insured the pigs for PIC USA Inc., accused Atlas of negligence in a June 29 complaint filed in U.S. District Court in White Plains.

The pigs were damaged, the complaint states, “due to the livestock having been subjected to high temperatures, heat distress and other improper conditions.”

Corporate communications for Atlas, based in Purchase, did not respond to an email request for comment.

PIC — the name stands for Pig Improvement Co. — uses genetics to breed pigs that cost less to produce and provide higher quality pork.

The Hendersonville, Tennessee, company has been working with China, the world’s largest pork market, to introduce

Thinking —

perspective, this situation presents a significant risk should the owner leave with the ‘secret sauce’ and know-how. Buyers value a talented deep management team with a qualified replacement for the CEO. It proves the company’s success is not primarily driven by the owner but by the company. Making the owner-operator dispensable and building a professional management team is assuredly one of the best ways to increase value.

FINAL THOUGHTS

A guiding principle for sellers is to put themselves in the buyer’s shoes.

Buyers value open, honest sellers who

genetically-modified pigs to expand the breeding stock in response to shortages caused by African Swine Fever.

PIC’s parent, Genus PLC, a British animal genetics company, is collaborating with Beijing Capital Agribusiness to breed pigs that are also resistant to the virus that causes Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome, one of the most harmful pig diseases.

On June 28, 2018, the complaint states, the 934 purebred breeding pigs that PIC shipped to Atlas in Chicago were in good condition.

But when the consignment arrived in Xianyang, China, Lloyd’s claims, many pigs were dead and many had to be destroyed.

The flight had been delayed for a number of hours, according to the complaint, and the pigs had been subjected to stressful temperatures.

Lloyd’s alleges that Atlas, or its agents, were negligent. The insurer compensated PIC for the losses, and it is demanding $294,583 from Atlas.

are self-aware, and those with a long-term approach to growing their companies.

One reason for private equity’s strong investment returns over the decades is they require sellers to reinvest a meaningful percentage of the sale proceeds back into the company. This structure ensures that sellers are willing to assume future risk, sending a message of confidence to the buyer and ultimately minimizes some of the pitfalls mentioned in this Insight.

utilities or shut down,” she said.

“The extra time should make a huge difference.”

The costs of training a new employee can also be somewhat ameliorated by the 24-week proviso, Bisceglia said. “Otherwise you’re creating a ripple effect, where you’re losing productivity and therefore money, over a much shorter period.”

On June 22, the SBA issued new Interim Final Rules on the Flexibility Act to provide further clarity. That guidance includes resolving questions about whether a borrower has to choose to apply for PPP loan forgiveness after either eight or 24 weeks — the guid-

ith the June 30 deadline for applying for a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan come and gone, businesses are now trying to decipher how best to proceed under the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act. Signed into law on June 5, the Flexibility Act is designed to clarify some questions about the original PPP, as well as adjusting the amount of a given loan that must be used for payroll down to 60% from the original 75%. While most businesses welcome the latter proviso, however, there is still some confusion over various aspects of the loan program, administered by the Small Business Administration.

The 60/40 split — which allows business owners more money for such expenses as rent, mortgages, utilities and loan interest — along with an extension of the covered period for loan forgiveness from eight to 24 weeks after loan origination (or Dec. 31, 2020, whichever occurs first) will have a “big impact” on restaurants, particularly hard hit by COVID19, said Scott Dolch, executive director of the Connecticut Restaurant Association.

“A lot of our members just reopened (on June 17, in accordance with Phase 2 of Connecticut’s reopening strategy),” Dolch said. Although eateries have had the option of offering delivery and curbside service throughout the pandemic, he noted, indoor dining is where most of them make their money.

Under the second phase, restaurants can offer indoor dining at no more than 50% capacity — still a money-losing proposition for many, Dolch said.

Whether that figure will be revised upward in phase 3, which was put on hold by Gov. Ned Lamont on July 6, remains uncertain.

“We’ll see how it plays out,” Dolch said. “There’s still the issue of consumer confidence — we’re nowhere near the normal levels of customers coming

out right now — and while the weather’s been mostly great, there’s still that threat of a second wave.

“The PPP has been helping in certain ways,” he continued, “and the SBA and Treasury (Department) have been very receptive and responsive to a lot of small businesses. But we’re still going to be one of the last to reopen our doors for inside business.”

To date, around 1,400 of the restaurant association’s 8,500 members have self-certified with the Department of Economic and Community Development that they are meeting government mandates, Dolch said. Nevertheless, the National Restaurant Association has estimated that 25% to 30% of the country’s eateries may not survive the pandemic, which translates to about 2,000 in Connecticut.

But the Flexibility Act is “giving some sense of hope,” he said. “It’s a little bit of a BandAid that can allow restaurants some sense of loan forgiveness.

Time will tell, but restaurateurs are fighters.”

Similarly, the new flexibility rules will help small-business owners in particular, said Valeria Bisceglia, education and training programs adviser at the Connecticut Small Business Development Center.

“I was speaking to a business owner the other day who said he was basically having to choose whether to pay his FCBJ

ance says they can apply anytime between those two — and further clarifies the process of applying for PPP loan forgiveness and other issues.

Nancy Hancock, an attorney with Westport’s Pullman & Comley, said that the original confusion over the PPP — and the ongoing uncertainties that have necessitated further guidance — can be attributed to both the fact that the original bill “had to be produced in a hurry” and that the PPP was applied to the SBA’s long-extant 7(a) loan program, leading to some inevitable snafus.

One of those was 7(a)’s outof-date definition of a full-time

employee as one who works 32, rather than today’s standard 40, hours a week. As a result, “people were uncertain which of the 7(a) rules would be imparted to the new PPP,” Hancock said.

While the latest SBA guidance is “extremely helpful,” Hancock said business owners are still faced with digesting its 34 pages, most of which is written in legalese. Even so, the clarity about 8 or 24 weeks should be helpful to those companies already close to meeting the forgiveness rules.

In general, Hancock said, her clients are “thrilled to bits” with the Paycheck Protection Program Flexibility Act.

MAKE MINE A DOUBLE

BY GEORGETTE GOUVEIA

Nicole Melichar. Courtesy United States Tennis Association.

WE TEND TO THINK OF TENNIS as an individual sport, with players relying on their inner strength as well their skills and talents as they battle all by their lonesome on one side of the court.

Except in doubles. There they can rely on their partners — which has its advantages and challenges.

Nicole Melichar knows all about both.

The Czech-born American is currently ranked 20 in doubles, though she did reach a career-high ranking of 12 a year ago. In 2018, she saw career highlights at Wimbledon when she and Austria’s Alexander Peya won the mixed-doubles title, defeating Jamie Murray, former doubles world No. 1, and Victoria Azarenka, former singles world No. 1.

That same Wimbledon, Melichar and

Czech Květa Peschke made the finals, where they lost to fellow Czechs Barbora Krejčíková and Kateřina Siniaková.

Melichar has now split with Peschke and is teaming with China’s Yifan “Julie” Xu, No. 8 in the Women’s Tennis Association rankings of doubles players.

“You look for good chemistry, good complementarity,” Melichar says. “For example, I have a very good serve. So you pick a person who is a good volleyer and good at the net.”

Melichar has also played singles, with less success. (She’s ranked No. 921 there.) She sees a clear distinction between both disciplines.

“Doubles is a more technical and tactical game. The points are going to be shorter so you have to be more accurate with your WCBJ

shots.

“Singles is a more physical game,” she adds, with more territory to cover.

There are those who think that they are temperamentally different, with singles better suited to self-reliant players and doubles to more collegial ones. And indeed, while there have been great singles/doubles players — Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe come to mind — many great single players are lackluster doubles players. Part of that has to do with practice and preparation.

“You can’t just step on a court and expect to be a doubles player,” Melichar says.

Just as singles and doubles differ, doubles differs from mixed doubles, she adds.

“Most men have big serves and quick reactions, so any time they have a chance

to put the ball away, you’re going to give it to them.”

Growing up in Florida, to which her family immigrated when she was a baby, Melichar just wanted to play and emulate her sister, Jane, five years older. The kid sister did that and more. Today, her sister is an avocational player while Melichar is looking to crack the top 10, make the Olympic team and win more Slams. She’d also like to cultivate her friendship with Xu. “For me, it’s good to be friends, go to dinner occasionally, have lunch, go sightseeing. Some doubles teams like to keep it to business on court. But it’s good to have a friend, especially after a tough match.”

A BRAND WITH HEART

BY MARY SHUSTACK

TO HEAR — OR MORE ACCURATELY SEE — what’s new with Kate D. Spain, simply walk into the Delamar Greenwich Harbor.

That’s an easy way to check out eye heart hand — what’s billed as the “field-to-fiber-to-floor” rug collection from Spain — since two custom rugs from the collection were recently installed off the luxury hotel’s harborside lobby, working with interior designer Lisa Silver of Siver Contract Interiors in Stamford.

Spain, savvy WAG readers may recall, is the designer behind the KD Spain brand, and Kate works hand-in-hand with her husband and business partner, Pete Spain.

At the time WAG visited the Spains in Bridgeport for a September 2016 feature, we were dazzled by her nature-inspired designs that peppered the couple’s home in the Black Rock section.

Her work was translated onto everything from pillows to table runners, rugs to curtains and framed prints to plates.

She had been creating home goods since 2008.

When we visited she had recently launched her namesake collection.

Spain, who grew up in Mamaroneck and would eventually land at the Rhode Island School of Design to study graphics, took us into her home-based studio where we got a glimpse into her inspirations and methods that produced collaborations and products for retail giants from Target to Crate&Barrel and companies such as Bigelow Tea to Andrews McMeel Publishing.

With Pete still handling the business side of things and Kate the design, the Spain effort seems stronger than ever, as we were pleased to hear in an update sent by Pete (of course).

As he told us, through KD Spain, Kate continues to license her original graphic designs worldwide for an array of products.

The heart of the update though was focused on rugs — specifically, the news that Kate and Pete have developed the eye heart hand collection, which they proudly share has been well-received by shop owners, interior designers and customers since its introduction last year at the prestigious International Contemporary Furniture Fair. (Pete noted, as well, that the name can be styled eye heart hand to emphasize the integral importance of the “earth” in what they do).

In that email update from the Spains, Kate shared how the latest effort began: “About five years back, I was licensing a design to a rug company. It was a best-selling rug. To our surprise, customer complaints and the return rate were very high. And so, we sent a sample to

be lab tested. We discovered it wasn’t actually ‘New Zealand’ wool as the manufacture had claimed. We decided to step back, to prioritize transparency and to create an ethical rugmaking process with a new team of our own.”

The Spains detailed several reasons why these new rugs are connecting with customers: • No child labor. All rug making is done by GoodWeave-certified adult artisans. Celebrating 25 years in its mission to end child labor, Goodweave is an international leader in assuring against child, bonded or slave labor. Each eye heart hand rug bears the GoodWeave label.

Pete participated on a panel about ethical supply chains at Grace Farms in New Canaan last spring to discuss this and how GoodWeave keeps child labor out of overseas manufacturing and improves education, health and labor conditions in manufacturing communities.

• Extraordinary materials. The Spains source highland strong wool from one family farm on the South Island of New Zealand. Kate explains: “This wool is perfect for the rugs I design. Its natural whiteness and luster bring contrast to the colors and sheen to the texture. Its long staple makes the construction extremely durable, with minimal shedding, and still so comfortable. Such beautiful wool is a product of the farmer’s commitment to the highest animal welfare standards, sustainable environmental management and to supporting native biodiversity.”

• Scientific testing. The Spains assure that the specially selected wool is the only wool in their rugs. Throughout the process, the wool is randomly sampled in India and sent to Oritain in New Zealand for independent scientific traceability testing and verification.

As Pete points out, “The Wools of New Zealand organization estimates that about 500 million pounds of counterfeit ‘New Zealand wool’ enter the global market each year. This has severely damaged the market price and hurt the farmers.

And at the consumer level, how do we know what we’re really getting? For eye heart hand, we decided to remove all doubt. If an Oritain test comes back negative, then we don’t use that wool in our rugs. Sure it costs more, but it sets us apart.”

And the finishing touch? Each eye heart hand rug is hand-numbered and finished with a label handsigned by the designer, the shepherd in New Zealand and by the rug maker in India.

As Kate says, “It’s a real collaboration — from my drawing board, to the farm and the sheep, to the GoodWeave artisans.”

As the Spains sum up their update, looking ever forward, “The eye heart hand collaboration is creating new collections of rugs and additional single-source handmade products that will continue to deliver original designs, luxury quality and proven provenance.”

Pandemic underscores the need for 5G wireless network

T

he coronavirus pandemic has exposed many deficiencies in our disaster preparedness, health care system and our infrastructure and underscored the need for a 5G wireless network.

Hundreds of thousands of people — adults and children alike — across the state in recent months have logged on to work, learn and recreate from home, putting an added strain on internet access, which was already a challenge in certain parts of the state, from densely populated areas to the most remote rural regions.

According to a Siena college poll, 82 percent of New York voters own a smartphone and 79 percent say they use wireless devices often throughout the day. Eighty-one percent agree that network connectivity is an absolute necessity for modern life, and 69 percent believe it’s as essential as clean water and electricity.

In his 2020 budget proposal, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called for a streamlined statewide small-cell permitting system to facilitate the creation of a next gen-

eration 5G wireless network. 5G will deliver data rates as high as 1 gigabyte per second. That’s 20 times faster than current networks allow and comparable to the speed provided by cable or fiber optic internet service.

Here’s how 5G would improve areas of life in New York:

TELECOMMUTING

The coronavirus pandemic has forced millions of people across the U.S. to work from home. Coupled with the move to on-line learning for both K-through-12 and higher ed students, as well as an unprecedented amount of streaming of videos, movies, music and games, this has created a never-before-seen strain on the country’s Internet. It is now clear that a more robust and reliable wireless system is what’s needed to prevent future online slowdowns.

REMOTE LEARNING/DIGITAL DIVIDE

The pandemic has exacerbated the already existing digital divide as students try to make the switch to online

learning and find that they are unable to do so due to spotty internet service, or, even worse, no service at all.

The switch to online learning has also impacted college students, especially if they are of color or low income.

5G will revolutionize education, dramatically improving communication and reducing download times and facilitating the use of technologies like artificial intelligence, augmented reality and more into K-through-12 classrooms.

It will change the way teachers communicate with their students and monitor their progress.

TELEHEALTH

The ability of health care professionals to assess and care for patients virtually has taken on new significance in the face of the pandemic. Keeping those who do not need hospitalization out of brick and mortar facilities not only reduces the possibility of transmission of the virus, but also keeps space available for those who are truly ill.

Telehealth received a boost in the $2 trillion stimulus package passed

by Congress and signed into law by President Trump.

5G enables the near real-time transmission of large amounts of data at low latency and high quality, which is crucial to the success of telehealth. It also facilitates the use of potentially life-saving technology like videoconferencing between ambulance crews and hospital staff to provide immediate information about a patient’s case, vital signs and symptoms.

PUBLIC SAFETY

The Sept. 11, 2001 attacks tragically demonstrated the crucial nature of wireless communications in the event of a significant crisis.

Small cell and fiber network upgrades will provide more reliable access to emergency services provided by police officers, firefighters, and first responders. Today, 80 percent of 911 calls are placed from a wireless device, making reliable service more important than ever before.

ECONOMY

According to industry estimates, 5G will be responsible for 3 million new jobs, $500 billion in new GDP and $275 billion in investments across the U.S., $93 billion of which is expected to be spent on construction.

Interconnectivity will also boost the economy by bringing good paying jobs to New York and help small

WCBJ

businesses, which employ over half of the private-sector workforce. Improving wireless connectivity will ensure they have full cellular coverage and access to high-speed broadband service, leveling the playing field and enabling them to better compete in the global marketplace.

COMBATING CLIMATE CHANGE

Gov. Cuomo and legislative leaders made history last year with the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which mandates a carbon-free electricity system by 2040 and a carbon neutral economy by 2050.

Technology will undoubtedly play a key role in achieving the governor’s ambitious climate change goals — particularly when it comes to addressing the problem of big buildings, which are among the most significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Deployment of “smart cities” advancements that use data, sensors and connected services to monitor and improve everything from traffic flow to electricity usage will help achieve these goals.

Next generation 5G wireless networks will be crucial to ensuring the success of these and other technologies that will help New York meet its climate change goals.

TRANSPORTATION/ENERGY

A fully implemented 5G network will contribute to energy efficiency through the use of wirelessly connected appliances, transportation grids and sensors that allow real-time monitoring — and optimization — of electricity use.

Transit officials, for example, will be able to use smart streetlights and stop signs that communicate directly with vehicles on the road to better regulate traffic, reducing congestion and also cutting down on emissions from idling cars and trucks to improve air quality.

High-speed wireless technology will also be necessary to facilitate implementation of New York City’s first-in-the-nation congestion pricing plan, approved by the state Legislature as part of the 2019-20 budget, which is slated to be in place next year.

The pandemic has forever changed the way we do business, educate our children and live our lives. To meet the challenges ahead, it is clear that we will need a next generation 5G wireless network.

Scenic Hudson aims to turn derelict buildings into HQ

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

N

orthside Junction LLC, an affiliate of nonprofit The Scenic Hudson Land Trust, has acquired two derelict buildings and land in the city of Poughkeepsie. They are near the refurbished railroad bridge Walkway Over the Hudson and two other projects in which Scenic Hudson has played key roles, the Fall Kill Creek and the CSX rail spur greenway proposal.

Plans are being developed to turn one of the buildings, a 50,000-square-foot former manufacturing plant at 58 Parker Ave., into a new home for Scenic Hudson that would include space for community gatherings, events and educational activities.

The Parker Avenue building was once home to the Standard Gage Co., where gauges for aircraft and other industrial uses

were manufactured.

According to the city of Poughkeepsie Historic District & Landmarks Preservation Commission: “The company received many government contracts during World War II, which transformed it on behalf of the war effort. Normally employing 200 people, it expanded to 600 during this period of peak production.

“Poughkeepsie celebrated the work and commitment of Standard Gage Co. when it received the federal government’s esteemed Army/Navy “E” Award for “Excellence in Production” during World War II. In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his son James visited the production site on Parker Avenue.”

The second building bought

by Scenic Hudson, 164 Garden St., was formerly home to a printing company and contains about 10,000 square feet.

Ned Sullivan, president of

Scenic Hudson, told the Business Journal that Northside Junction is a limited liability company that was established by the nonprofit to own these properties.

“Scenic Hudson will use the Parker Avenue site for office space for our staff, we have a staff of about 60, but there’s more space than we need at the location so we will be looking for other partner organizations from Poughkeepsie or businesses possibly to co-locate there,” Sullivan said.

There are no specific plans yet for the Garden Street property, although maybe a bike repair shop, said Sullivan, an avid bicyclist.

“We are going to engage the community, city officials, local residents, local business owners and leaders, stakeholders and try to get a shared vision of the public spaces, the outdoor public spaces, and how those can

be best developed in a way that will make this a very positive asset for the entire community,” Sullivan said. He did not disclose the purchase price of the properties.

Elected officials have already expressed support for the acquisitions.

Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison said, “By restoring these buildings and providing a new place for the community to unite, Scenic Hudson reaffirms its status as a good neighbor to Poughkeepsie residents. I look forward to hearing more about their plans.”

Common Council member Lorraine Johnson, said, “Their plans are truly exciting and will support ongoing efforts to provide new recreational and other opportunities that will unite the community in the city’s north side neighborhoods.”

Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro said, “By transforming these unsightly buildings and property into a community hub, it will provide a beautiful new focal point for visitors arriving at Walkway Over the Hudson, right across the street, and a place for people to stop and relax while biking on the new rail trail Dutchess County and Scenic Hudson have partnered to create.”

Sullivan said that he expects the new space to help Scenic Hudson advance its mission effectively.

“Our mission now very much includes work in the urban centers of the cities of the Hudson Valley,” he said. He said that the time line for putting the properties into service is approximately two to three years.

“There’s extensive contamination, there’s asbestos and just refurbishing an old derelict building is going to be a challenge,” Sullivan said.

He said it was too early to say just what the final price tag would be.

Scenic Hudson credited Jason Camporese, its chief finance and operations officer, and Emily Hague, its senior land project manager, with negotiating the transaction. It said the architecture firm MASS Design Group, which has worked on other revitalization projects with Scenic Hudson in Poughkeepsie, is involved in this project.

Sullivan said that while the social distancing and work-at-home requirements of the COVID-19 situation have made operating the organization a bit more complex, there also has been something special.

“Scenic Hudson has a whole system of parks up and down the Hudson Valley and we have kept them open through the COVID lockdown,” Sullivan said.

“They’ve provided a great source of inspiration and enjoyment to people who clearly appreciate them more than ever.

We do see a surge in the use of our parks and a passion and appreciation for them and our mission that is somewhat unprecedented.”

ewtown is hoping to take advantage of the reported exodus from New York to Connecticut, revamping its Economic and Community Development Department as part of a rebranding effort aimed at drawing businesses and homebuyers alike.

Noting that the rebranding was first discussed late last year, First Selectman Dan Rosenthal said the town of approximately 30,000 is now “trying to get back on track” following what he said he hoped was the peak of the COVID19 pandemic. As of July 2, the town had recorded 243 positive cases and 42 deaths from the virus.

The rebranding “definitely helps in that overall effort,” Rosenthal said.

According to Christal Preszler, deputy director of Economic and Community Development (ECD), “We don’t have an identity we feel strongly attached to — but we’re not replacing

the rooster,” a reference to the bantam atop the Newtown Meeting House, which allegedly was used by French soldiers for target practice during the Revolutionary War. To develop that new identity, the town engaged Haven Creative Agency, based in Waxhaw, North Carolina, to complete the first phase of the initiative. That includes an online survey of residents — the cost of which Preszler set at about $14,000 — which began on June 12 and ended on July 10. The town’s goal of receiving at least 400 responses was easily eclipsed by the end of June, Preszler said.

The effort will also involve consolidating Newtown’s four websites — each on its own platform — into one central web presence, she said. Ultimately the idea is to develop a key identity for ECD, she said, by integrating new marketing messaging and visual elements, including its own logo.

Survey results are expected to be tabulated by the end of this month, Preszler said.

Focus On

REAL ESTATE Both she and Rosenthal said they were optimistic that Newtown could benefit from reports that thousands of people have relocated to Connecticut from New York, primarily as a result of the pandemic.

The U.S. Postal Service recently reported that more than 16,000 people switched their addresses from the Empire State to the Nutmeg State since March, when COVID-19’s presence first began to be felt.

On the commercial side, Greenwich has reportedly been the big beneficiary, mostly from small financial firms relocating from Manhattan. While it’s unlikely such companies would come to Newtown, Rosenthal said he was confident that the municipality will also benefit, noting that Boost Bowls — a Bethelbased health-food eatery that also has a location in Southbury — is coming to town, and that NewSylum — the town’s much-delayed second brewery — finally opened in early June.

The latter, at 36 Keating Farms Ave., is the first commercial concern to open in Fairfield Hills. Developing that land — formerly the campus of a psychiatric hospital — is a concept that Rosenthal has been pushing for some time.

A round of informational meetings for residents — who have generally disapproved of developing Fairfield Hills, due mostly to its cost — and developers were interrupted by the coronavirus.

“We have a great opportunity to take those buildings, which have been long-abandoned and are in pretty bad shape, and make something beautiful,” he said. “And we also have a need for housing on both ends of the spectrum.

“I think (the idea) works,” Rosenthal added, “but it’s a question of whether or

Dan Rosenthal

not the public does.”

He said he hopes to include a referendum on the topic on the November ballot.

Since acquiring the campus in 2004, Newtown has spent $38 million on demolition and construction costs; maintenance costs run around $200,000 a year.

Although data on Newtown’s residential market was not immediately available, the first selectman said that it was his understanding that things are looking up, at least anecdotally.

The real estate website Zillow puts the median home value in Newtown at $389,444, and predicts that they will fall another 3% within the next year.

Nevertheless, it ranks the town as a “very hot” buyers’ market, an indication that the volatility caused by the pandemic could ultimately pay off for the municipality.

“Most of our businesses are open again, or are very close to it,” Rosenthal said. “They’re being creative in terms of their approach to reopening — and we’re trying to be creative as well.”

What the new regionalized MLS means for Westchester Realtors

T

he New York metro area, including Westchester and the Hudson Valley, is viewed as one of the leading real estate markets in the world. Doing business here, however, has historically been riddled with inaccurate data and numerous back-end systems. In addition, this has been one of the only major metropolitan areas to not have a regionalized Multiple Listing Service. In fact, in the early 2000s the Hudson Valley was fractured into numerous real estate associations, each with their own MLS. For those of us who remember, it was neither an inefficient nor cost-effective way to do business.

The consumers have been really stuck.

Everything that everyone takes for granted in other parts of the country — strong consumer-facing websites, MLS’s that have accurate data — didn’t exist in our area.

But things have changed. For a little over a year we have worked diligently to merge our Hudson Gateway Multiple Listing Service with the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island to create the first regional MLS for New York, which launched earlier this year for Realtors and a few weeks ago for consumers.

It’s a comprehensive MLS, and the goal is to empower our members to take advantage of the geography of New York City, the most powerful geography in the world.

Consumers want to have access to a broader geography of data, and that’s what we’re trying to achieve. The platform serves Manhattan, the Bronx, Nassau, Suffolk, Queens, Brooklyn, Westchester, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan and Orange counties.

We have entered a new era of real estate in New York with the launch of OneKey MLS. Featuring tens of thousands of listings from Realtors located everywhere from the tip of Long Island up to the Catskill Mountains, it will drastically change the way we do business. There are skeptics, of course. A lot of brokers are very entrenched in doing business the way they’ve done business for a very long time.

Some are resistant to change, but that reluctance is eroding their business.

OneKey MLS will revolutionize the real estate industry in our market and make it easier for Realtors to succeed and for their clients to find their dream homes. Here are just a few ways a regionalized MLS will impact those of us who do business throughout the Hudson Valley.

more than reading about a feature of a home on a listing and finding out it’s not true when they go to an open house. Easy access to clean and accurate listings data is critical for residential real estate professionals, and previously it has been impossible to ensure the information they were viewing was correct. With OneKey MLS, the listings are updated every five minutes straight from the MLS, so the information on every listing is accurate. This can save you time and avoid lots and back and forth on behalf of your clients, allowing you to focus on finding the listing(s) that work best for them.

BE FRONT AND CENTER

One of the biggest complaints we’ve heard from our members who are working throughout the New York metro area is that with other real estate platforms the listing agent is often not the agent featured next to the property. In addition to being confusing for potential clients, it can cost Realtors a hard-earned sale. The listing agent is the only agent that should be anywhere near a property.

GET YOUR CLIENTS ON BOARD

Accurate and reliable listings from the source are important for Realtors and for consumers. But there’s more consumers are looking for than just listings — they’re also seeking information that they won’t be able to find on other real estate searching platforms.

Features such as multilingual search, community guides that include details of the geographic area (especially school district information), and the ability to search for properties to buy or rent by country, neighborhood, city/town, ZIP code or by drawing a custom search on a map will make the searching process easier to navigate.

We are committed to making this transition as easy as possible for our current and prospective members who are now utilizing the platform. We have worked tirelessly to create an MLS that we hope will become the most trusted residential real estate data source for Realtors and their clients.

WestPark Associates plans high-tech retrofit at Westchester Avenue site

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

W

estPark Associates NY LLP, has issued a request for proposals seeking services for retrofitting its properties at 1111 and 1129 Westchester Ave. in White Plains into a “smart office campus.”

There are two buildings built in 1984 that contain about 373,000 square feet on the 25-acre site. The objective is to make sure the property meets what WestPark describes as “the accelerating technological demands of 21st century businesses.”

The RFP calls for two phases of development. First would be retrofitting both office buildings with new technology designed for sustainability, energy conservation, health and wellness, security, connectivity and to be attractive to 21st century workforces. The second phase would involve promoting the use of autonomous vehicles, at first along the I-287 corridor and then with connections to local communities and rail transportation.

WestPark Associates NY is an affiliated company of New Jersey real estate firm Onyx Equities LLC. DJ Venn, senior vice president of asset management for Onyx said, “Our vision is for WestPark to serve as a hub of connectivity for global workforce and be the place where innovation and creativity will thrive.” He said the goal is to “rival some of the most technically advanced campuses in the world.”

A major tenant at the site is PepsiCo. Other major corporations there have included Starwood and NYNEX. A team from the commercial real estate services firm CBRE had been given responsibility for leasing the properties some months ago. William V. Cuddy Jr., executive vice president, heads the team.

“Both buildings are in extraordinarily good condition now,” Cuddy told the Business Journal. “There have been advances in terms of technologies and building operations that could be brought to the campus to further enhance it at really an extraordinary level.”

He described some of those technologies as including touchless entries, touchless elevators, intelligent parking, drone delivery and upgraded HVAC including pathogen prevention.

Cuddy noted that the buildings already are loaded with amenities, “have high-speed fiber connectivity, an environ-

mentally-sensitive design, natural light on every level, excellent air filtration systems, and plenty of green space. Even so, the owners are not resting on their laurels; they are reimagining the campus for the 21st century.”

The RFP calls for parties who are interested in bidding on the project to submit a letter of intent to bid by July 27. Submissions would be due by 5 p.m. on Sept. 9.

“The RFP process is exactly that, a process. Some of the upgrades that will

be selected may be done more immediately while others could be presented as options for our new tenants,” Cuddy said.

“When you look at office inventory and how companies operate and plan for their futures, they’re looking at a longer horizon. They want to be in a location that’s cutting edge; a location that supports their business operations within a facility that employees really can feel comfortable and effective working in.”

The second phase of the RFP regard-

ing autonomous vehicles has an open time frame.

“We’re all pushing into new boundaries,” Cuddy said. “We want to make sure that this location has the best opportunity to be in the forefront of that in Westchester County. We’re located between two train stations, on a major bus line. Both in terms of our vehicle, bus and rail, this presents an opportunity to really create a new environment along the I-287 corridor.”

Kings Capital Construction Group Inc., a Tarrytown-based commercial general construction and site development firm, recently donated food to Westchester County residents in need. The Kings team, including principals JD Summa and Mike Casarella, coordinated the packaging of more than 40,000 pounds of fresh and healthy produce into 1,580 boxes and then distributed it to county residents at the Ebersole Ice Rink located in Delfino Park in White Plains on June 5.

In order to facilitate the delivery and distribution of the food, Summa collaborated with Frank Williams, executive director of the White Plains Youth Bureau; and with Wayne Schneider of Precision Concierge to arrange for the 40-foot container truck to transport the food to Delfino Park in White Plains.

“During these uncertain times, it is our collective responsibility to help support anyone in need and we at Kings Capital Construction are more than happy to do our part,” said Summa, Kings CEO.

chairman of Ridgewood Savings Bank.

Forbes Best-In-State Banks 2020 comprises the top banks based on the results of independent surveys involving approximately 25,000 U.S. consumers who were asked to rate the financial institutions at which they have or have had checking accounts.

Ridgewood has successfully paired personal checking with the digital banking services that consumers de-

Founded in 1921, Ridgewood Savings Bank continues to serve the community as a strong and stable mutual savings bank with more than $6 billion in assets and 35 branches located throughout the New York metropolitan area.

Joanne Dunn of Peekskill was well aware that her new role as executive director of The Youth Shelter Program of Westchester Inc. would require her to bring all of her experience as a youth advocate to bear. She was just settling in when COVID-19 hit and is now trying to navigate a world in which racial unrest born of the death of George Floyd, at the hands of the Minneapolis police department, has taken center stage. Located in Mount Vernon, Dunn is the first woman to lead this organization since its incorporation in 1975.

Conceived by a Westchester judge and school teacher who recognized the need for early intervention in the lives of young offenders, the Youth Shelter Program has been providing a homelike alternative to jail for young men, for more than 40 years.

Previously, Dunn spent 12 years with Westhab Inc., and before that she worked with the Peekskill Youth Bureau to provide overall leadership and direction to the Workforce Investment Act Out-ofSchool Youth program.

In addition to her experience, it was the passion that Dunn exhibited during the selection process that made a huge impression on the search committee.

Board Chair Rev. Darren Morton said, “We knew almost immediately that Joanne was the best fit for this position. Her passion coupled with her knowledge and experience was unmatched.”

Of her new role, Dunn said, “The young men who come to the shelter are above all, young people in need of a second chance. All of my prior experiences have prepared me for this role and I relish the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these and other young people who need a champion in their corner.”

Dunn earned her Bachelor of Science degree in child and family development from Benedict College.

HOSPITAL GIVES BACK WITH MORE THAN HEALTH CARE

Greenwich Hospital donated thousands of pounds of food to Neighbor to Neighbor in Greenwich and Caritas of Port Chester in New York. From left: Marc Kosak, senior vice president, operations, Greenwich Hospital; Margaret Goldberg, executive director, Neighbor to Neighbor; Norman Roth, CEO, Greenwich Hospital; Patricia Hart, treasurer, Caritas of Port Chester; Duncan Lawson, operations coordinator, Neighbor to Neighbor; Diane Kelly, president, Greenwich Hospital; and Anna Cerra, senior vice president, patient care services and chief nursing officer, Greenwich Hospital.

During the height of Connecticut’s coronavirus pandemic, a generous community supported Greenwich Hospital as residents and business owners came together to deliver 17,000 meals to health care workers. Now Greenwich Hospital gives back.

The hospital donated thousands of pounds of food to two community food banks: Neighbor to Neighbor in Greenwich and Caritas of Port Chester in New York. The food drive was organized by the Greenwich Hospital Diversity and Inclusion Council and all the food was donated

by thankful hospital employees.

“The community response to the public health crisis has been incredible and heartwarming,” said Norman Roth, Greenwich Hospital’s CEO. “This food donation is our way of thanking the community for supporting our health care workers during this unprecedented time.

We will never forget their acts of kindness and generosity.”

“We are fortunate to be a part of an amazingly thoughtful community,” said Margaret Goldberg, Neighbor to Neigh-

bor executive director. “Greenwich Hospital is a vital partner to the health and well-being of the Greenwich community and we are grateful.”

Demand for food has grown tenfold since the start of the pandemic, said Patricia Hart, treasurer of the Caritas board of directors. …Caritas typically provides 4,000 meals a month at its community dining room and supplies groceries, meat and fresh produce to nearly 400 families through its pantry. In contrast, Caritas distributed 12,000 meals in June.”

RELIEF FROM DIRECT RELIEF Open Door Family Medical Center, serving Westchester, Putnam and Ulster counties, has received an emergency grant of $187,500 from the medical aid organization Direct Relief, in partnership with the National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC).

The grant will be used to support testing/ triage, education and community access to the COVID-19 pandemic for its underserved population.

“Like many community health centers from across the country, our financial situation was seriously impacted by the pandemic, with virtually all of our efforts

spent caring for the unanticipated volume of COVID-19 patients throughout the lower Hudson Valley,” said Lindsay Farrell, president and CEO of Open Door. “The grant will help us close the financial gap.”

Open Door was among 518 federally qualified health centers to receive funding through Direct Relief’s $25 million COVID-19 Fund for community health.

Major funding to Direct Relief was contributed by companies such as 3M and concerned persons such as entertainment mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who organized an online Dance-a-Thon to raise

funds for this purpose.

“Access to primary care is what keeps people healthy and out of the hospital.

The frontline work of Open Door and other nonprofit community health centers is more critical than ever with the onset of COVID-19,” said Thomas Tighe, Direct Relief president and CEO. Today, Open Door cares for nearly 1,000 adults and children every day in Westchester, Putnam and Ulster counties — with more than 300,000 patient visits and over 400 babies delivered annually — regardless of one’s ability to pay.

Westchester and Fairfield Counties CENTER CELEBRATES 25 YEARS WITH 12,000 MEALS

Though the New York state PAUSE program put an end to large celebrations, Sleepy Hollow’s RSHM LIFE Center marked its 25th anniversary by distributing and delivering since March 16 12,000 meals to vulnerable families, along with 14,000 pounds of groceries and fresh produce, from the organization’s headquarters on Beekman Avenue.

The center has been a trusted source of information and assistance for low-income immigrants since 1995, keeping them abreast of the changing immigration landscape and protecting the stability of families, focusing on the learning needs of the entire family.

When pandemic stay-at-home directives kept many parents from their place of employment, the center switched gears and used its community connections to provide Life Center and other local families in need a resource for nutritious food.

Meals and produce boxes were provided by local restaurants, including J.P. Doyle’s, Tarry Tavern, Horsefeathers, Bridgeview Tavern, Grass Roots Kitchen, The Flavor Vault, Stone Barns Center, RiverMarket, Capri Pizza, Sunset Cove and Los Andes Bakery and funded by donations, with the assistance of the Rotary Club of the Tarrytowns.

Sleepy Hollow Village Trustee Rachelle Gebler regarding the center, said, … “This most recent service to the community crowns a 25-year-span of providing a safe place for families and children to learn and grow and ultimately make better lives for themselves.”

The LIFE Center relies on private funding to provide services to more than 1,100 people per year. Learn more about the LIFE Center at rshmlifecenter.org.

ANOTHER ANGEL AT ANGEL

UWWP DONATES SUPPLIES TO CAMP MORTY

United Way President and CEO Tom Gabriel and Camp Morty Director Mary Ehring.

United Way of Westchester and Putnam has partnered with the Westchester Parks Foundation to make summer a little bit happier for underprivileged youth who will be unable to attend camp in person this year.

The Westchester Parks Foundation moved to a free virtual summer camp for its annual Camp Morty program, which started July 6 with one- and two-week sessions to 1,200 children currently part

of Westchester County’s Department of Social Services.

United Way donated hundreds of activities, toys, books and other supplies that are part of a package sent home to campers each week along with curriculum and video instructions so they can participate in online activities. United Way also provided sandals, backpacks and school supplies for fall. The total value of the items donated is about $50,000.

“The generosity of the United Way of Westchester and Putnam will have an incredible impact on the Camp Morty campers and their families,’’ said Camp Morty Director Mary Ehring.

Camp Morty, founded in 2006, provides an outdoor traditional summer camp experience for children ages 8 to 15, many of whom are in foster care, live in homeless shelters or are under child protective services.

IONA PROFESSOR 2020 FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR IN AFRICA REGIONAL RESEARCH Iona College Media and Strategic Communication Assistant Professor Nadine Barnett Cosby, has been named a 2020 Fulbright Scholar in the Africa Regional Research Program, which will allow her to explore the expectations and realities of mission trips to Africa, specifically working in Zambia, where she has led two Iona mission trips.

“I started to notice there was a disparity in what the groups would think they were going to do versus what the host communities and the people in the communities expected or thought of mission trips,” she said.

As part of her research, Fulbright will fund multiple trips to Zambia so that Barnett Cosby can interview people serving on mission trips, as well as those hosting the trips. She will also use the time to train people in host communities on how to conduct interviews and document the feedback, so that her work can continue through a different lens while she is not physically in the field.

She will have two years to conduct her research and compile the findings, which could be published as a book and/or in various journal articles. Given her experience in film, she also plans to document the experience visually, perhaps to produce a documentary.

Prior to joining Iona in New Rochelle as an adjunct in 2011 and full time in 2013, Barnett Cosby had an extensive career in media as a writer, producer and director, heavily rooted in the exploration of racial, cultural and gender representation.

Eva Kornreich, has joined Angel Commercial LLC, a full-service commercial real estate brokerage and advisory firm headquartered in Southport, as a vice president. She brings real estate expertise from her previous position as senior associate with Avison Young.

During her six years there, she focused on leasing and sales in the health care, office real estate markets in Fairfield and New Haven counties.

“Eva will be working as the exclusive listing agent on several commercial real estate properties in our

portfolio,” said Jon Angel, president of Angel Commercial.”

Kornreich is a graduate of the University of Virginia with a Bachelor of Arts degree in economics and Tulane University with an MHA. Angel Commercial is an award-winning full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm specializing in the acquisition, disposition and leasing of office, industrial, retail, land, investment and development properties on a local and national level.

WCC ROCKS WITH METALLICA SCHOLARS

Nadine Barnett Cosby

Westchester Community College (WCC) has been selected as a partner by rock band Metallica’s All Within My Hands Foundation to support students who are looking to enter a traditional trade or other applied learning program.

The Metallica Scholars is a major national workforce education initiative that provides direct support to community colleges to enhance their career and technical education programs. The American Association of Community Colleges partnering with the Washington, D.C.-based organization that represents the nation’s 1,103 community colleges, the Metallica Scholars program is designed to provide support of relevant job skill training for community college students.

WCC is one of only five community FCBJ

WCBJ

colleges in the nation to be chosen this year to receive a grant of $100,000 to support this initiative.

“Situated in the epicenter of New York’s coronavirus crisis, Westchester students, workers and families have been hit hard by job loss and displacement. Every sector is impacted,” said Belinda Miles, WCC president. “This initiative will help facilitate access to career and technical education providing much needed support services.

As the only college in New York state selected for this program, we look to leverage the Metallica Scholars initiative to expand on our current and future apprenticeship program in order to accelerate the region’s return to economic health and vitality. Together, Metallica and WCC will rock the workforce.”

LIONESS, INC.

S

Seeing wild animals display affection strikes a chord with us humans. We’ve been there.

We’ve done that. Given the harsh environment and everyday struggle to survive in the wild, we are surprised to see glimpses of human behavior in their actions. This cub, in stride, reached up and leaned into his mother, looking for assurance. Solidarity is how they have always survived.

Lions are the laziest of the big cats, often spending most of the day sleeping or resting. While lazing around, they can be very affectionate towards one another.

While a group of people connected to one another is called a tribe, a group of fish is called a school and a group of owls is called a parliament, a group of lions is collectively called a pride because of their stately quality.

Lions are the only cats that live in these social groups called prides. Family units may contain as many as 40 lions, including up to four males, who are responsible for protecting the pride, and a dozen females. All of a pride’s lionesses are related and will mate at approximately the same time. After a gestation period of about 110 days, the females gives birth to 1 to 4 cubs, weighing only 2 to 4 pounds. The cubs are then raised together, sometimes nursing communally.

While the image of male lion superiority is ubiquitous in the world, the truth is that the females are the leaders of the pride and its primary hunters. Males rarely participate in hunting unless they are needed. Females fiercely defend their cubs, and while males tolerate them, they don’t always defend them. With high mortality

rates, about 80% of cubs will not survive until adulthood, but those that do may live to be 10 to 14 years of age.

Helping humans learn how to live with lions is key to ensuring their survival. In northern Kenya, Samburu warriors, women and children with important local knowledge of wildlife issues are trained to collect data on wildlife sightings and respond to community issues like livestock depredation. In exchange, they receive educational lessons and a leadership role in their communities, creating a network of wildlife ambassadors. Some conservation organizations pay farmers to replace their livestock that have been taken by lions.

There are so many fascinating things to discover about lions and all the other creatures that can be found on safari with John Rizzo’s Africa Photo Tours. It’s an unforgettable trip filled with lions, elephants, leopards, zebras and rhinos — all waiting to be discovered by you!
