‘BLACK LIVES MATTER IN HEALTH CARE, TOO’

TIM MOREHOUSE FENCING CLUB OPENS IN GREENWICH WITH EYE ON BUILDING OLYMPIANS

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

F

encing isn’t a “real” sport and can be pretty dangerous.

None of that is true, according to the founder of the Tim Morehouse Fencing Club, which recently opened its fourth location in Greenwich. Part of his mission, Morehouse said, is “to grow the sport and give

kids more opportunities to experience it.”

Morehouse is determined to fight against the aforementioned misconceptions about the sport, whose history dates back to the 1400s. As for whether fencing is a sport, one need look no further than Morehouse’s resume for proof. He won a silver medal competing in the men’s sabre as a member of the U.S. fencing team at the 2008 Summer Olympics

in Beijing, also competed on the 2004 and ’12 Olympic teams and has won a slew of other awards and accolades.

He even gave then-President Barack Obama a fencing lesson on the White House lawn in 2009.

It may come as a surprise that the 41-year-old more or less fell into fencing by accident.

Weisz buys 100 Manhattanville Road in Purchase

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

R

PW Group, owners, developers and managers of seven other major Westchester properties and 275 Madison Ave. in New York City, has added another property to its portfolio: 100 Manhattanville Road in Purchase.

Robert P. Weisz, president and CEO of RPW Group, told the Business Journal that the sale closed during the week of Oct. 14. He said a legal agreement prevented him from disclosing the purchase price. The Westchester Bank provided a mortgage of $26 million.

“One of the reasons the seller sold it to us was because we were able to move very fast and The Westchester Bank was very effective in making this happen,” Weisz said.

He added that the entire transaction took only a couple of weeks.

Records on file at the Westchester County Clerk’s office showed that on June 12, 2018, a deed for 100 Manhattanville Road was filed showing a transfer of the property from Savills Fund Management GmbH in Germany to 100 Manhattanville LLC, a New York limited liability company having an address in care of Caceis Bank, also in Germany. According to the documents, the consideration at that time was $49.8 million.

In the sale to RPW Group, CBRE was representing the seller and Jeffrey Dunne, a vice chairman at CBRE, said, "Ultimately, the tightening market bodes well for RPW Group to lease up the remaining vacancy

100 Manhattanville Road

at 100 Manhattanville."

CBRE said the building "is one of Westchester County's premier office complexes" and reported Mastercard was the anchor tenant. Mastercard's global headquarters location is nearby at 2000 Purchase St. The 290,631-square-foot, four-story Class A office building is on 23.75 acres. It originally was built as Nestle’s corporate headquarters in 1986. It was subsequently converted for multitenant use.

“It is about 65% leased and we are looking to add to that,” Weisz said. “There are very few buildings in the county that are full Class A buildings like 100 Manhattanville Road. It has a wonderful cafeteria, wonderful fitness center. It has covered parking. It has management on site.”

RPW Group has arranged for Newmark Knight Frank (NKF) to be the exclusive leasing representative for the building.

Glenn Walsh, executive managing director of NKF, and Lawrence Ruggieri, senior marketing director, will head the team handling the building.

“We now represent the RPW Group in exclusive leasing assignments for more than 2.1 million square feet across eight properties in Westchester County,” Walsh said.

“Vacancy rates in the Eastern I-287 market have remained in the single digits for the past 24 months while Class A rental rates have been steadily growing since 2017.”

Weisz pointed out that the building has a block of space covering 82,000 square feet on the fourth floor, which he said was "the largest block of space on a single floor in the market.”

While he did not have specific asking rents set, he said the price range will be very competitive.

“It has great parking. It has great landscaping and what we find is that tenants in this

market now have more dense office facilities with more people than they used to. If we have a great deal of parking available it’s a big plus for the property,” Weisz said.

Weisz noted that companies no longer are locked into 9-to-5 schedules.

“The fact that we have a concierge in the building 24/7 is a big factor companies like,” he said. “They know that if there’s an employee working on the weekend, or there’s an employee coming in at 10 o’clock at night, there is somebody in the building monitoring who is coming in, who is going out. We have cameras throughout and so that’s one of the features people are looking at.”

The property is about a seven-minute drive to the Westchester County Airport and is close to the Hutchinson River Parkway as well as I-684 and I-287.

Weisz expressed optimism for the future of commercial and residential real estate in Westchester and pointed to changes along the Westchester Avenue corridor.

“With the addition of Lifetime Fitness, with the addition of Wegmans, with the addition of all the hospitals, what used to be a sea of office space is now giving people the opportunity to live and work and have a complete lifestyle,” he said. “The icing on the cake is the amount of residential that’s being built. That’s a tremendous change in the Westchester environment because companies had difficulty finding employees and now the talent is going to live in Westchester and that is going to definitely help to continue the strong regional market.”

Connecticut Children’s Medical Center opens clinic in Danbury with more on the way

H

aving opened an outpatient clinic in Danbury last month, Connecticut Children’s Medical Center is looking to continue to expand in Fairfield County, part of an ongoing effort to grow not only its physical presence but its national reach as well.

“Our ‘Help Me Grow’ program has been so successful in Connecticut that we’ve exported it to 30 states,” said President and CEO Jim Shmerling. “We continue to look to build national models of care.”

“Help Me Grow” identifies children who are at risk for developmental or behavioral problems and links them to services offered in their communities.

Connecticut Children’s President and CEO Jim Shmerling makes some remarks at the ribbon-cutting for its new outpatient clinic in Danbury.

Development and the State of Connecticut Department of Housing — integrates a variety of health and safety interventions, lead hazard control, energy efficiency interventions and housing rehabilitation to produce safer environments for occupants.

“We’ve treated countless children for asthma,” he noted, “and within a few months they’re back in the hospital because their

home environment has triggers. ‘Healthy Homes’ is designed to mitigate those environmental triggers.”

The Hartford-based organization partnered last year with the Western Connecticut Health Network (now Nuvance), resulting in its pediatric experts providing care for children who are patients at Danbury and Norwalk hospitals. Since launching that partnership, Connecticut Children’s staffers heard from the community that access to more pediatric programs and services was needed, helping to pave the way for the new clinic, Shmerling said.

The facility at 105-A Newtown Road in Danbury is staffed by 14 specialists in such areas as cardiology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, pediatric surgery and nephrology. It offers such imaging services as ultrasounds, X-ray and electrocardiograms.

Shmerling added that a reason Danbury was chosen was for its being “a place where

there’s a large concentration of children.”

He said the organization is looking to expand further within the county and state. It has clinics and affiliated practices in Bridgeport, Fairfield, Norwalk, Shelton, Stamford and Trumbull. Other possibilities include Greenwich and Westport.

The Fairfield County connection is exemplified by three of its 15 board members being based in the county, including Dr. Dorothy Levine, a pediatrician at Stamford Health.

It also has a presence in Springfield and South Hadley, Massachusetts. Shmerling said western Massachusetts and eastern New York are “in the conversation” for further expansion.

“We received children from 50 different countries last year,” he said, “so we see the need to expand our reach both within Connecticut and beyond.”

Shmerling expects the organization to announce several new locations throughout 2020.

Only in America Mariusz Janicki muscles his way into Danbury fitness scene

BY PHIL HALL phall@westfairinc.com

I

n his native Poland, Mariusz Janicki represented a victory of both brains — he achieved a master’s in physical education — and brawn — he is a former European full-contact karate champion. He came to the U.S. in 2003 to teach physical education in Danbury while continuing to compete in kickboxing and he began to explore different approaches to sports conditioning.

“I like to study new ways for training,” he recalled. “I was finding the way to be better and stronger.”

In 2010, Janicki retired from competitive sports after more than 12 years as a professional athlete, devoting more time to raising his family. However, he was still receiving inquiries from prospective athletes for coaching and advice, as well as calls from regular people who were eager to get into better shape. By 2015, he decided to formalize his consultative work as MJ Training with the goal of helping people focus on their fitness needs.

“I was working in a couple of gyms and last year decided to open my own space,” he said. “It was a big step.”

Janicki can be found in his 2,800-square-foot MJ Training facility at 248B White St. in Danbury. Now celebrating his first anniversary in business, he built his operation by offering specialized classes in kickboxing along with a fitness boot camp and oneon-one training. Working with two part-time trainers and a full-time administrative assistant, Janicki trains 60 people for his member classes and 10 individuals for the one-on-one sessions.

Janicki’s kickboxing program is called StrikeFit and combines cardio kickboxing with full body conditioning. Participants wear five-finger MMA gloves that allow them to grab and hold fitness equipment. For the boot camp, Janicki seeks variety in his

cardio; strength training; agility training; bodyweight exercises like push-ups, jumping jacks and running to kettle bells; barbells; jump ropes. You don’t have any limitation to the boot camp and it doesn’t matter about your weight or your fitness level. We show a lot of modification and you can control your pace. You can stop and no one will judge you.”

Janicki’s focus is on clients age 16 and up and he has a few participants in their early teens focused on losing weight. He is also a certified nutritionist and provides individualized meal plans for his clients. And it appears that he’s getting results, with evidence on a wall collage of before-and-after photographs. But he added that’s just a sampling of what he’s achieved.

“Not everyone wants to have pictures,” he laughed.

Janicki acknowledged his one-location business is up against big-box gyms with numerous outlets. But he is not intimidated by his larger rivals.

“I don’t worry about the com-

petition. They’re always going to be there,” he stated. “I believe that if you are good and you believe in what you are doing, and you see that people are gaining from what you offer, you are going to stand out. It’s not always going to be easy.

You have to be very strong-minded and have the drive to keep going.

About 70% to 80% of my clients used to be big-box gym members.

Now, they don’t go there. Nobody taught them or showed them. Here, my main goal is to make people feel at home, like a second family. So, we know their names and histories on every step of the journey.”

If there is one aspect to running MJ Training that was intimidating for Janicki, it involved his need to immediately master social media marketing.

“I am not a computer guy, so this was the hard part for me,” he said, although he has gotten the knack of Facebook forum postings and Google advertising. “I have a long way to go. My goal is to keep growing slowly and, hopefully, expand to a bigger space.”

Hines becomes part of GM site redevelopment

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

T

he global real estate investment, development and management firm Hines, which has its headquarters in Houston, has signed on to develop 246 luxury apartments in the second phase of redevelopment of the former General Motors site in Sleepy Hollow.

Hines is involved in 148 development projects around the world and has a property and asset management portfolio of some 514 properties aggregating more than 222 million square feet of space.

The project, known as Edge-on-Hudson, is being undertaken in phases on the 70-acre site along the Hudson River where General Motors had its assembly plant. The first phase, undertaken by Toll Brothers, involves building townhomes. The entire Edge-on-Hudson project is anticipated to have a value of $1 billion and is planned to include 1,177 units of housing, a 140-room hotel, 135,000 square feet of retail space, 35,000 square feet of office space and more than 16 acres of parkland.

One of the master developers of the project is SunCal, which has offices in California, Texas and Virginia in addition to Westchester. The other is Diversified Realty Advisors. Diversified already has developed, or is developing and acquiring, properties totaling 6,000 residential units and 600,000 square feet of commercial space in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Maryland.

Toll Brothers recently began construction of a second block of townhomes and back in January opened a sales office at the site. Its “Brownstones at Edgeon-Hudson” are priced from $999,995.

Toll Brothers describes it as “an intimate enclave of 72 townhomes offering up to 2,800 square feet of luxury living plus 2-car garages.”

Hines plans to build its 5-story luxury apartment complex on what is known as Parcel F, at the entrance to Edge-on-Hudson about a block from the river.

The site is about ½ mile from the MetroNorth Railroad station at Tarrytown and about 1/3 mile from the Metro-North station at Philipse Manor.

Hines, which was founded in 1957, has grown to have a presence in 219 cities in 23 countries. It values the assets it has under management at $124.3 billion. The company was founded by its Chairman Gerald D. Hines who co-owns it along with his son Jeffrey. From 1981 to 1983, Gerald Hines served as chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. He was profiled in 2018 by Houston Public Media as “the man who built Houston’s skyline.”

Suite Talk Dr. Jeffrey Walczyk: ‘There are seasons for sports medicine and health care’

W

hen Dr. Jeffrey Walczyk was in school, his passion for athletics resulted in injuries that required medical care.

“The human body fascinated me and I wanted to know more about those injuries that I sustained,” he recalled.

Walczyk would pursue medical studies, graduating from New York Chiropractic College in 2007. In 2008, he purchased a medical practice in Fairfield that he renamed iMed Chiropractic and transformed it into what he described as a “hands-on physical therapy, chiropractic-pain center.” This practice — which is subtitled Integrated Medical of Fairfield — offers different therapists and a mix of traditional and alternative medical treatments.

In this edition of Suite Talk, Business Journal Senior Enterprise Editor Phil Hall speaks with Walczyk regarding his approach to health care.

What differentiates iMed Chiropractic from other medical centers?

“When we get our patients in here, it’s a lot more than getting them to feel better — it’s about correcting their ailments. We do so with our hands-on approach. We triage each patient with the full staff available to them.

“In a lot of other places that I’ve been to as a patient, you go in for your chiropractic adjustment and that’s it — you’re done, that’s your treatment. But, then a couple of weeks go by, and you’re back again. What we have here is the ability for patients to come in and have each one of the therapists available for them.

After we examine them, we set a goal and can

ticals. This is something that we are able to offer that they may not be able to get from their primary care.”

expedite all of the services a lot faster.

“Each one of us has a really great skill set. I use the analogy about the next tool in the toolbox. We have our toolbox full of tools and not limited to using one type of technique or one type of procedure. Patients can see the therapist, massage therapist, chiropractor, even a medical doctor for acute needs. And patients really love that. We explain what to expect in the first day of treatment. As they start getting better, their treatment frequency and plan changes — it’s not the same old cookie-cutter of coming and getting the same old treatment every single time.”

Why is this approach more beneficial for patients?

“We look at everything from every vantage point. We offer alternative medicine-type treatments, including a little bit of homeopathy and nutrition, and the patient can view us from a different perspective.

“A lot of patients come in with a view of what they want and what they know, which is great because we can always identify what their expectations are and also teach them there are other things to help them out. We are not forcing them to choose.”

Who are your patients?

“Our age range would be as young as 5 to my most elderly patient who is 98. This may sound strange, but there are seasons for sports medicine and health care. We will be much busier during springtime, once everyone is out of their hibernation mode and the week-

end warriors are back. We have a large group of patients who come in during the summer when they have more freedom and hours.

We are not, by any means, seeing hundreds of patients a week. We are seeing dozens of patients a week and that number is growing, which is a great sign for the team and everyone who works here.”

You also prescribe medical marijuana to qualified patients. How many patients are using this?

“Less than 5%. Some patients thrive with the hands-on approach of the manual therapies that fix structural issues to a certain point. With the medical marijuana, it is not going to fix the structural issue, but if they can sleep well and feel better, then we guide them without the help of pharmaceu-

What has been your most challenging consideration in patient care?

“There are a lot of patients who come in after waiting too long. Their joints, discs, muscles and tendons have become worn down and arthritic. Those are the difficult ones. They’ve ignored the body signs that they should have been seen by someone. It might have been a little 3-out-of-10 pain, but it’s been consistent and they just allowed it to get out of control.

“We are, unfortunately, the last stop for a lot of patients before surgery and that makes it a little more difficult. But we offer them comfort and explain to them what happened and what we can do to help them out. For others who are a little more familiar with chiropractic and physical therapy and sports medicine, they like that they’ve found this approach.”

Do you foresee franchising this type of operation?

“The medical provider I purchased this practice from had a couple of clinics. We are looking to expand. I would not be opposed to a larger office and taking on more staff, being able to help more people. Even incorporating more types of therapists.

“I would love to be able to share what we have here with as many people as possible.

What I would emphasize is that we’re not a big mill, and I fear that once we get really big that holistic touch could go out the window.”

Stamford lawyer files defamation suit against Netflix movie ‘The Laundromat’

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

A

Stamford lawyer has filed a suit against Netflix over the portrayal of a pair of real-life attorneys in “The Laundromat,” a movie based on the Panama Papers.

The defamation suit was filed in Connecticut federal court by Stephan Seeger on behalf of his clients, Panamanian lawyers Jürgen Mossack and Ramón Fonseca, who are portrayed in the Steven Soderbergh movie by Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas.

However, a Connecticut federal court judge ruled that the lawsuit should be

heard in Los Angeles. The decision means the movie will begin streaming on Netflix as originally planned.

Mossack and Fonseca contend that the movie is defamatory because it makes them

the central villains of the story, and that it infringes on their copyright because it uses their law firm Mossack Fonseca & Co.’s logo. That firm announced it was closing in March 2018 amid the fallout of the Panama Papers scandal.

According to the suit, the film shows “clips of people connected to (the firm’s) offshore accounts and/or purported clients exclaim ‘shit’ and/or other expletives in different languages, including an Englishspeaking lady at a bar, a gentleman dressed in garb resembling a sheik, two Russian gangsters and the wife of a Chinese politician driving by some soldiers. The viewer is meant to associate Mossack and Fonseca

with these tax-evading, money-laundering and otherwise criminal ‘culprits.’ ” Leaked anonymously in 2016, the 11.5 million “Panama Papers” documents link the offshore law firm to numerous wealthy individuals and officials who used accounts and shell companies to shelter billions from taxes, in some cases via alleged fraud and in violation of international sanctions.

Mossack and Fonseca are under federal indictment.

Prior to its release on Netflix, “The Laundromat” opened in a few theaters around the country on Sept. 27. It has received mostly mediocre reviews.

2020 vision MOODY’S: TRUMP IN A LANDSLIDE assumption that the nonincumbent share of turnout in 2020 — that is, Democrats and independents — were to match its historical maximum across all states, only the pocketbook model predicts a victory for Trump.

Under such a high-turnout scenario, the Democratic Party nominee would win handily under the stock market model and barely under the unemployment model.

Under baseline economic forecasts, the firm’s “pocketbook model,” which deals with gasoline prices, house prices and real personal income, provides the best outcome for the president.

“If voters were to vote primarily on the basis of their pocketbooks, the president would steamroll the competition, taking home 351 electoral votes to the Democrats’ 187, assuming average voter turnout,” the report said.

Also to be considered is the “stock market model.”

This “is the least favorable model for Trump, though it still currently predicts a victory for the president,” according to the report. “Trump often touts the stock market as a measure of his administration’s economic policy success, and he may be onto something. Even though the stock market can and at times does move up and down independent of what is going on in the economy, the S&P 500 has a statistically significant relationship with voter sentiment in the leadup to presidential elections.”

The firm’s “baseline forecast” projects annualized growth in real GDP to decline to “multiyear lows” by the end of 2020.

“Because of this growth slowdown, our baseline forecast calls for the richly valued S&P 500 to decline 9% between now and Election Day,” the report said. “This weighs against Trump, but not enough for Democrats to unseat him. The stock market model projects the president will hold on to 289 electoral votes to the Democrats’ 249, again assuming average voter turnout.”

This would result in a smaller margin of victory in the Electoral College compared with 2016.

“If the S&P 500 were to decline by closer to 12% by the third quarter of 2020, the model would instead predict a nail-biting win for Democrats with 279 electoral votes, compared with Republicans’ 259,” according to the report.

And there is also the “unemployment model” to consider. Moody’s reports that the baseline forecast for the unemployment rate across most states is for it to remain near current lows through the first half of next year before rising amid the predicted growth slowdown. Therefore, the “unemployment model” is not as favorable to Trump, but does project a Trump victory of 332 electoral votes to 206, assuming average voter turnout.

However, things get tighter under different turnout assumptions. Under the

Fencing—

School (in the Bronx) and had no idea what fencing was,” he laughed. “I took it just to get out of PE.” Even then, Morehouse said, “I kept skipping fencing, but my first coach saw something in me and kept encouraging me to start taking it seriously.”

Struggling with school and self-confidence, Morehouse followed that advice and was soon well on his way, going on to compete at Brandeis University where his various honors included being voted by coaches and athletes as the NCAA men’s sabre fencer of the year in 2000.

“Once you put that mask on, you take on a different personality,” Morehouse said.

“Fencing requires quick strategic thinking and can definitely help with self-confidence.”

As opposed to other sports, “You can’t be on the bench,” he continued. “No one is going to prevent you from competing. And you own your outcome.”

As for danger, a University of Oslo study found that fencing was one of the six sports that resulted in the fewest injuries. Its 2.5% injury rate was only slightly higher than that of

diving and synchronized swimming.

Founded in New York City in 2015, the Morehouse Fencing Clubs offer programs for children and adults alike. Classes last 80 to 100 minutes each with a 6:1 student-teacher ratio. In 2017, the club opened a large facility

health care center would offer ambulatory care and emergency services. Patients requiring the inpatient care and surgical services offered at Mount Vernon Hospital could receive them at other hospitals owned

by Montefiore. It expects the $41 million cost to build the new facility would be paid via a grant from New York state.

Once the new facility is operational and the existing hospital is closed, the property would be put on the market for redevelopment, according to Montefiore.

Mount Vernon Hospital was founded in 1891 and is a state-designated stroke center and HIV/AIDS center. It is the home to the Beale Chronic Wound Treatment and Hyperbaric Center and the Montefiore School of Nursing.

Montefiore said the anticipated opening for the new center is the end of 2020, pending required approvals from New York state. It said it plans to begin discussions with elected officials and community leaders about the disposition of the current hospital site.

Within a day of the announcement, some elected officials and community leaders were publicly calling on Montefiore to reconsider its decision.

State Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow of Mount Vernon said, “The hospital has been a pivotal center for the community for years and our residents have come to rely on the services of the hospital. A sudden closure without any replacement will be detrimental to the livelihood of the community.”

in Port Chester, added classes at Hommocks Middle School in Larchmont last year and now holds classes at Greenwich’s Western and Eastern civic centers.

Aiming to have up to 10 locations in operation within the next 10 years, Morehouse said

Fairfield County was always a target.

“There are fencing clubs there, but there really hasn’t been a franchise like ours that has multiple locations,” he said.

“I love Greenwich,” he continued. “We have some friends there and it’s just a great place.

We met with (Western Greenwich Community Center Building Director) Frank Gabriele and he was enormously supportive and helpful.

“It’s a competitive club. Our goal is to have them competing four to six months after they start.”

The clubs have mined success in four years.

A brother/sister pair from Greenwich brought back a gold and a bronze medal at the Pan American Youth Championships in August, while a fencer from Rye went on to Notre Dame and is now getting ready for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. The club qualified its first fencer (from Mount Kisco) for the Cadet World Championship team for Team USA. The club also has multiple Youth-10 boy and girl fencers ranked in the top 10 of their respective divisions.

“There’s a lot of growing interest in fencing,” he said. “There are only so many people who can play baseball, football or basketball.

We’re proud to be part of that journey for the kids and to help build the sport.”

Westchester County Legislator Lyndon Williams noted that an assessment prepared by Montefiore found that Mount Vernon had the most vulnerable population for chronic diseases and health risks in the county. He said, “I am concerned that closing the hospital creates extreme hardship for senior citizens and other residents who are in need of critical tertiary and secondary care and places a disproportionate economic burden on a poor and underserved community.”

State Sen. Jamaal T. Bailey said, “Many of the city’s residents rely heavily on the services the hospital provides. This decision could have a significant impact on the wait times and resources of other nearby hospitals and could be life-threatening for patients that may require immediate care.”

Mount Vernon’s acting Council President Janice Duarte said, “We are deeply concerned that Montefiore Hospital would be able to provide better care by reducing its footprint and offering fewer services, especially emergency inpatient and surgical care for a city the size of Mount Vernon.”

Delia Farqarhson, a member of the City Council, said the closing “signals loss in employment for many and, even worse, the loss in health care services for a community of color that has historically received disparate care for the vulnerable, uninsured and underinsured. We deserve better.”

Referring to the facility Montefiore plans to build, she said, “An urgent care facility is not a hospital. In a community of more than 70,000 people, many with chronic conditions, seconds matter. Black lives matter in health care, too.”

NORWALK BOOKKEEPER PLEADS GUILTY TO TAX FRAUD AND EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGES

The owner of a Norwalk bookkeeping service has waived her right to be indicted and pleaded guilty to charges stemming from an embezzlement scheme.

Penni Sherman, also known as Penni Parker, operated PSP Accounting & Bookkeeping and had a client base of local businesses. According to the charges brought against her, Sherman stole $418,197.09 from clients between 2011 and 2018 and used the funds to cover personal expenses ranging from paying credit card bills and salon services.

Sherman omitted the embezzled funds and other business receipts on her federal income tax returns, which the Internal Revenue Service estimated as totaling $125,167 owed to the government.

When confronted, Sherman returned $163,730 to one of her victims. She has pleaded guilty in Bridgeport federal court to one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 20 years, and one count of making and subscribing a false tax return, which carries a maximum term of

CONNECTICUT ADDED 3,600 JOBS IN SEPTEMBER

Connecticut gained 3,600 net jobs in September to reach a level of 1,699,200 positions, seasonally adjusted, according to the state’s Department of Labor.

The DOL revised the August job gain of 2,800 down to a gain of 1,200.

The department estimated the number of unemployed residents was at 68,300, seasonally adjusted. The September unemployment rate stood at 3.6%, seasonally adjusted, unchanged from the revised August level.

Discovery Square is a part of Destination Medical Center, a public-private partnership created by the Mayo Clinic and other private-sector developers along with public funding from the city of Rochester, Olmsted County and the state of Minnesota.

BioSig’s new office will focus on research and product development to support its current and future projects in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic and Mayo Ventures.

BioSig’s decision to move its development center out of state follows the August announcement by Norwalk-headquartered Xerox Corp. to open a technology center in Cary, North Carolina, with a goal of creating 600 jobs.

The site is the former home of Unimin Corp., which operates mining and mineral processing facilities across North America.

The company put the building up for sale in 2016 as it merged with an Ohio-based company, Fairmount Santrol. The new company name is Covia.

the planned partnership, Marmon Utility will invest up to $4 million to hire personnel and make equipment upgrades in its Kerite power cable facility that will allow the company to manufacture specific offshore inter-array cables needed for the Park City Wind project.

Vineyard Wind is committed to selecting the Kerite cable brand as its preferred cable supplier for at least 50% of the project, which will make Kerite the first American Tier 1 supplier in offshore wind.

The supply contract would lead to

nearly $40 million in direct expenditures in Connecticut, while the Seymour facility expansion would create an estimated 35 permanent full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs. Over the next decade, the expanded facility could create up to 350 FTE jobs and almost $400 million in direct revenue in Connecticut.

The Park City Wind proposal includes options to develop an up to 1,200 MW project, which will generate enough electricity to power 600,000 Connecticut homes.

In Court | Bill Heltzel Former professor accuses Iona College of age discrimination

Iona College

A former Iona College business professor claims he was forced out because of a practice of replacing older faculty with younger teachers.

George L. De Feis sued the New Rochelle college, former President Joseph Nyre, business school dean William Lamb and professor John Meyer on Oct. 10 in Westchester Supreme Court claiming age discrimination.

“That discrimination, bred by the desire

by Iona’s administration for a younger faculty

in Iona’s School of Business, manifested in a concerted effort to harass … De Feis,” the lawsuit states.

Iona spokeswoman Mary Cronin said the college does not comment on pending litigation or personnel matters.

De Feis, 59, earned degrees from Cooper Union, Baruch College and Pace University.

He has taught at Iona since 2007 as a visiting professor, adjunct professor and then a tenure-track assistant professor.

In 2015, he was named chairman of the department. His teaching and scholarship had been deemed excellent during contract renewals, according to the lawsuit, and he was on track for a tenured position.

But his progress stalled in 2017 after the college hired Lamb as the business school dean.

De Feis claims that “removing and replacing older faculty with younger faculty members were Lamb’s primary mandate.”

Ten teachers over the age of 50 “have been or will be pushed off the faculty,” the complaint states, and a disproportionate number

of new teachers are younger than 40.

De Feis claims he was sabotaged by the “Gang of Four” — Meyer and three professors who are not named as defendants in the lawsuit — during the peer review process when he came up for a two-year contract renewal in 2017.

They submitted negative evaluations and cited shortcomings that had never been raised during his 15 years at Iona. One member of the “gang,” for instance, gave him a rating of 2 on a scale of 1 to 15, while two other colleagues scored him at 14 and 15.

The review committee denied a new contract.

De Feis filed a grievance, and a committee, composed of former deans and tenured faculty, investigated.

The committee found that De Feis had been subjected to an “uncollegial attitude” that compromised the process, according to the complaint, and recommended that his contract be renewed “in the interest of fairness.”

Nyre rejected the committee’s decision and offered De Feis a one-year contract and another chance to apply for a two-year contract.

Weeks later, Lamb allegedly advised De Feis that it would be virtually impossible to satisfy the requirements for a two-year contract.

Meyer allegedly concurred and said he would not support a contract renewal.

They “blacklisted” eight of his published works, according to the complaint, deeming them unworthy of consideration for promotion or tenure.

De Feis applied again for the two-year contract. He was denied and terminated.

The complaint accuses Iona and the business school officials of age discrimination under state and federal law. He is asking for unspecified damages.

De Feis now works at Stockton University in New Jersey as assistant professor of business studies, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Nyre became president of Seton Hall University on Aug. 1. Meyer is chairman of Iona’s Department of Management, Health Care Management and Business Administration.

Lamb is the dean of graduate and adult learner recruitment at EAB, a consulting organization in Richmond, Virginia.

De Feis is represented by Robert L. Levy and H. David Krauss of Bantle & Levy in Manhattan.

MARIJUANA LICENSEE QUESTIONS LARCHMONT DOC’S FINANCES

A Larchmont physician and his wife who tried to develop a medical marijuana enterprise are being challenged over the accuracy of their personal finances in a bankruptcy case.

Lee T. Owens of Tacoma, Washington, is asking the federal bankruptcy court in White Plains to stop Edwin X. Vicioso, an anesthesiologist, and Ann M. Anderson from getting out of paying a $1.5 million debt.

The couple “should be denied discharge and their bankruptcy should be dismissed,” Owens states in an Oct. 3 adversary proceeding,

“due to their abuse of (the) bankruptcy system … for the specific purpose of hindering litigation and defrauding creditors.”

“Dr. Vicioso and Ms. Anderson fervently deny the baseless allegations against them,” their bankruptcy attorney, Nicholas A. Pasalides, said in an email message, “and fully intend to vigorously defend themselves in court.”

Vicioso and Anderson painted a very different picture of their medical marijuana deal in a federal lawsuit filed last year in Seattle, accusing Owens and an attorney of fraud.

In January 2016, Owens sold his interest in L&D Holdings LLC — a company that held marijuana licensing rights — to the couple’s Green Kiss USA Inc. for $50,000 plus $2 million to be paid out quarterly over 10 years.

In Owens’ telling, the couple induced him to sell his interests in L&D by falsely stating that they would comply with Washington state laws and by misrepresenting their finances.

The couple “immediately began to grossly mismanage the company,” he alleges in the adversary proceeding, “culminating in the loss of the company’s facility and termination of its business license by the State of Washington less than six months after closing (the deal).”

In Vicioso’s and Anderson’s telling, they were interested in acquiring a license to produce cannabis and were put in touch with Seattle lawyer Ryan C. Espegard.

They claim that Espegard steered them to Owens, switched sides to represent Owens, and revealed their sensitive personal and financial information to help Owens drive up the price of the deal.

Owens knew that the couple was highly leveraged, that they had remortgaged their home, that Vicioso had left his medical practice and that “they had no other option but for this venture to succeed,” they said.

Vicioso and Anderson claimed they spent more than $1.5 million in setting up and obtaining licensing for a state-of-the-art cannabis facility in Tacoma.

But in June 2016 the state shut down the facility for regulatory violations concerning financing and management.

The couple’s federal lawsuit was dismissed over a jurisdictional issue. Meanwhile, Owens sued Vicioso and Anderson in a Tacoma court, claiming breach of contract and other causes of action.

In April, Vicioso and Anderson filed a Chapter 11 reorganization petition. They claimed assets of $2.25 million, consisting mostly of their house on Chatsworth Avenue in Larchmont, and liabilities of $2.36 million.

Creditors have since filed nearly $4 million in claims, including an IRS debt of $1.7 million for unpaid income taxes and penalties.

Owens filed a claim for $1,558,751.

In the adversary proceeding, he is accusing Vicioso and Anderson of misrepresenting their finances “to give the false impression that they are insolvent or suffering financial hardship.”

He claims his information is based on finan-

In Court | Bill Heltzel cial records his attorney obtained through the discovery process.

Owens claims that businesses the couple own make more than $18 million a year, not the $0 that they claim in bankruptcy. Their Larchmont house could be worth as much as $3.9 million, not the $2.15 million represented on a bankruptcy schedule.

Owens alleges that Vicioso’s medical practice made $782,586 in 2017 and paid $479,476, or 61% of total revenue, in management fees to a shell company operated by Anderson when the company had no other receipts. Then the couple allegedly transferred $213,000 from the shell company to their personal checking account.

The couple claimed no income from businesses in 2018, according to Owens, yet more than $900,000 was deposited in Vicioso’s medical practice checking account and more than $625,000 was deposited in the couple’s personal checking account.

Owens accuses the couple of making false statements in the bankruptcy filings, defalcation and malicious injury.

He is asking the court to declare that the debt they owe him may not be discharged, or alternatively, to appoint a trustee or an examiner to investigate his allegations.

BRONXVILLE MAN PLEADS GUILTY IN $2.8M TAX CASE

A Bronxville resident has pleaded guilty to criminal tax fraud for not paying more than $2.8 million in state income taxes and penalties.

David A. Walsh, 58, and his wife, Gia A. Walsh, 51, were ranked 41 on the New York State Department of Taxation list of the top 250 delinquent taxpayers when they were arrested a year ago.

Walsh has paid back $2.24 million to the state, and he could pay back the remaining $573,259 in penalties and interest before he is sentenced on Dec. 6, according to Cecilia Walsh, spokeswoman for Albany County District Attorney P. David Soares, who handled the case.

The Walshes pleaded not guilty in September 2018 to three counts of criminal tax fraud. The state tax department and the Albany prosecutor’s office did not respond to questions about the status of Gia Walsh’s case.

The Bronxville couple is facing more demands on their assets.

Six federal tax liens totaling nearly $5.6 million have been filed against them for unpaid income taxes from 2008 to 2016. The total does not reflect any payments they could have made.

ES Ventures One LLC has been trying for nearly four years to collect a judgment against the Walshes. The couple defaulted in 2015 on a mortgage on an East Hampton mansion, on which they reportedly owed $10.5 million.

ES Ventures One bought the property at auction, but the Walshes refused to vacate for three months. An East Hampton court awarded $350,000 to ES Ventures for the use and

occupancy of the mansion during the prime summer season.

The Walshes have enjoyed better times.

Gia Walsh co-founded GIGI Films and has worked as an independent filmmaker and producer.

David Walsh built and operated global telecommunications companies, according to a 2007 press release from One Equity Partners, a merchant banking arm of JPMorgan Chase. He was a partner with One Equity Partners until 2013.

He served as chairman and chief executive officer of Genband, an IP infrastructure company, until 2017 when it was acquired by Sonus Network. He was kept on as a salaried employee until this past January, and then hired as a consultant for $300,000, according to an Oct. 9 affidavit by Gia Walsh. He began receiving

$50,000 a month in August in severance payments that will end in March.

It is unclear from public records when or why the Walshes’ finances went bad.

The East Hampton judgment was recorded in Westchester County in 2016.

The couple produced eight personal tax returns for the lawsuit. Their adjusted gross income was $4.7 million in 2016 and nearly $5.1 million in 2017.

“What happened to this money?” ES Ventures attorney Christopher Renke asks in a document filed Oct. 7. “In what bank account was it deposited? Was this money spent and, if so, on what? Where is this money today? What did the respondents earn in 2018? What have the respondents earned in 2019 to date?”

They have no credit cards or charge cards.

Their home is in foreclosure and their home-

owners insurance was canceled two months ago, Gia Walsh stated in the Oct. 9 affidavit.

They have no pension, annuity, retirement fund or 401(k). Other than shares in Genband, they own no stocks, bonds, mutual funds, securities or commodities.

On May 30, Westchester Supreme Court Justice Terry Jane Ruderman found the Walshes in contempt for repeatedly failing to produce subpoenaed documents. She authorized ES Ventures to apply for an arrest warrant if the couple failed to produce records by June 20 and appear for deposition by June 27.

They failed to do so.

“This is obviously a game to (the Walshes),” Renke said in his Oct. 7 filing, “and a clear indication that they are willfully refusing to provide information and documents regarding any » » IN COURT

FEDS SUE APARTMENT DEVELOPER PETER FINE FOR HANDICAP VIOLATIONS

A federal prosecutor claims that Manhattan developer Peter Fine constructed 68 apartment buildings that are difficult to use by handicapped people, including two in Westchester.

U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman sued Atlantic Development Group LLC and Fine, the majority owner, Oct. 16 in federal court in Manhattan for alleged violations of the Fair Housing Act.

The lawsuit identifies the LaPorte Apartments at 203 Gramatan Ave. in Mount Vernon and the Red Lion Apartments at 25 State St. in Ossining as deficient.

Atlantic’s attorney, Michael Stolper, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The structures were built from 2000 to 2019 and were intended mostly for low-income tenants.

Atlantic and Fine engaged in a pattern or practice of violating handicap access regulations, the complaint states, using six architects to design the buildings.

The alleged violations were at entrances, in common areas such as laundry rooms and community rooms, and in individual apartments.

Some entrances had high thresholds that impeded people in wheelchairs, according to the complaint. Handicap ramps didn’t have

handrails on both sides. Open space in bathrooms was insufficient. Spaces between appliances on opposite sides of kitchens were not wide enough.

The Red Lion opened in 2013 and has 50 dwellings. The complaint describes 11 alleged violations, such as a high slope at the main entrance, bathrooms without toilet grab bars and a narrow aisle in the laundry room.

The LaPorte opened in 2017. The 14-story structure, next to Hartley Park in downtown Mount Vernon, has 159 apartments. The complaint does not list specific violations in that building.

The LaPorte “is by far the nicest workforce housing I’ve ever built,” Fine said during a topping out ceremony in 2016.

Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara filed a related Fair Housing Act lawsuit against

Atlantic in 2017. That case concerned two market-rate apartment buildings in Manhattan, but the complaint alluded to possible violations at other Atlantic projects in Manhattan, the Bronx and Westchester.

That case is pending.

The government is asking the court to order Atlantic and Fine to stop violating handicap regulations and to retrofit structures that were not built properly.

The government’s case is being handled by assistant prosecutors Li Yu, Jacob Lillywhite, Steven Kochevar and Natasha Teleanu.

YONKERS CONSULTANT CLAIMS SENIOR HOUSING DEVELOPER OWES $1.2M

A consultant who claims he is owed $1.2 million for services on a senior housing project in Yonkers is trying to satisfy the debt by compelling the developer to sell its properties.

Cottage Living LLC, a Yonkers company managed by Thomas Conneally of Eastchester, sued Ayuso Enterprises LLC of New City on Oct. 8 in Westchester Supreme Court.

Cottage is asking the court to order foreclosure of four properties at 15-23 North Broadway in Getty Square to enforce a mechanic’s lien, and to issue a $1,244,700 judgment against Ayuso for alleged failure to pay a development fee.

Efforts to contact Roger Ayuso Sr. and Paul Ayuso for their side of the story were unsuccessful.

Ayuso Enterprises hired Cottage in 2017 to provide development and construction services at the North Broadway properties. The plan was to build 36 affordable senior housing apartments in three row buildings.

According to the complaint, Cottage’s job was to select and work with the architect, engineers and vendors; apply for affordable housing tax credits; seek alternative funding; work with the city of Yonkers on zoning for an historic credit; create project budgets; and pay vendors.

Cottage claims that it performed its job but that Ayuso terminated the deal this past May and has refused to pay for the services.

The full development fee was set at nearly $1.2 million, according to the complaint, and Cottage had already performed services and paid expenses worth $502,807.

Cottage filed a mechanic’s lien for $500,000 on May 17 against the Ayuso Enterprises’ properties on North Broadway.

The properties include a vacant lot and three 4-story row buildings, according to Yonkers property records, and are worth more than $2 million.

Three companies, according to the complaint, hold mortgages on the properties, including: 15 Broadway Funding Associates of White Plains; Apex Mortgage Corp. of Fort Washington, Pennsylvania; and United Real Estate LLC of Peekskill.

Cottage is represented by Jonathon D. Warner of Warner & Scheuerman in Manhattan.

CBRE shows double-digit percentage increases in office leasing

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

C

BRE, which bills itself as the world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, has released its reports on the office markets in New York City’s northern suburbs for the third quarter.

Leasing activity was up substantially in Westchester and Fairfield counties.

In Westchester, there was a 40% improvement in leasing activity in the third quarter compared to the second quarter, below Fairfield County’s 71% increase.

In Westchester, there was a total of 216,000 square feet of new leasing activity,

this trend confirms Westchester County’s healthy economy and tenant satisfaction,” he said. Cuddy is based at CBRE’s Westchester/ Fairfield office in Stamford.

Average asking rents in Westchester during the third quarter dipped slightly from the same period last year. The drop of 3.7% was due to comparatively expensive space previously having been leased or otherwise removed from the market this year, according to CBRE. The average rent was $28.44.

Average asking rents in Westchester over the past five years have risen 4%. The average taking rents, however, rose 9.4% from $24.69 per square foot to $27.01 per square foot.

In Fairfield, the average asking rents for the third quarter dropped 4.6% when compared with the third quarter in 2018, with the same reason given as in Westchester.

The 2019 figure was $35.50 per square foot.

CBRE’s Fairfield report noted that the county’s average asking rents have been reasonably stable in recent years, with an increase of only 1.4% over the last five years. However, when transactions which have closed are examined, the actual rents taken have shown an increase of 8.2% over the same period, from $30.41 per square foot to $32.91 per square foot.

Net absorption for the quarter in Westchester was 76,940 square feet. In Fairfield it was 177,000 square feet.

The top lease transactions in Westchester during the third quarter were: a renewal for 120,000 square feet at 2000 Westchester Ave. in Harrison by Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings; 61,971 square feet leased by Montefiore Medical Center at 555 Taxter Road in Elmsford; 21,041 square feet leased by Intercontinental Exchange at 1311 Mamaroneck Ave. in White Plains; a renewal by the New York State Appellate Court of 17,800 square feet at 140 Grand St. in White Plains; and a lease by Allstate Corp. for 15,000 square feet at 120 White Plains Road in Tarrytown.

The report characterized leasing activity in northern Westchester as being “particularly quiet” during the quarter with only 17,000 square feet of leasing activity. It was a 42% drop from what was done in the third quarter of 2018 and 56% below the five-year quarterly average.

The report said Westchester’s overall economy remained solid and pointed to a 4.1% unemployment rate as of August 2019.

“For a broader comparison, the unemployment rate is 4.2% in New York state and 3.7% nationally. The Orange-Rockland-Westchester market area, of which Westchester makes up about 60% of the population, saw a net collective increase of 4,100 jobs from August 2018 to August 2019,” the report said.

CBRE noted that the financial activities sector saw a year-over-year job increase of 2,100 and it is a heavy user of office space.

On November 1 in Greenwich the Women’s Business Development Council (WBDC) will host its annual Gala Luncheon celebrating “Women Rising 2019.” The event will convene over 700 guests to honor the accomplishments of business women and female entrepreneurs for their economic impact on Connecticut.

Felicia Rubinstein, Founder and Chief Collaborator of HAYVN, will be honored as WBDC’s Client of the Year. After starting and running several successful marketing businesses, Rubinstein recently opened HAYVN, a co-working space in Darien.

The 7,000-square-foot shared workspace is designed for women, although all are welcome, and features a fitness center, organic café and art gallery.

CareMount Medical’s new Yorktown Heights location.

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

C

areMount Medical has consolidated its three Yorktown offices into a new 40,000-square-foot office building at 355 Kear St. in Yorktown Heights. Thirteen specialties, including urgent care, radiology and lab services, are housed in the new facility. While the building is open seven days a week, office hours vary by specialty and service. CareMount had been operating at 1825 and 1940 Commerce St. and 225 Veterans Road.

The MRI unit in the new building is GE’s 1.5T Signa Voyager. It is said to provide enhanced imaging capabilities while offering greater patient comfort through shorter and quieter scans and a wider bore, which is easier on patients who are claustrophobic or have wide shoulders or may not fit into a traditional MRI enclosure.

Orthopedics, cardiology, obstetrics and gynecology, urology and internal medicine are among the specialties practiced at the new office. Colorectal surgery and dermatology are among the specialties being offered there, which were not available at CareMount’s former Yorktown locations.

Westchester tightens protections for displaced workers

BY PETER KATZ pkatz@westfairinc.com

L

egislation designed to close what proponents considered to be loopholes in Westchester County’s Displaced Service Employees Protection Law became law on Oct. 16 in a ceremony held outside the Board of Legislators chamber at the Michaelian Office Building in White Plains.

The original law, passed in 2013, was designed to protect building service workers such as cleaners and maintenance personnel who could be pushed out of their jobs when building ownership or contracts with service companies are changed.

Local leaders of the union 32BJ SEIU, which has about 175,000 members in 11

states and Washington, D.C., had been campaigning for a tightening of the law after some union members found that its protections didn’t extend far enough.

The original law created a transition period during which new employers had to offer workers the opportunity to remain in their jobs. It applied to contractors with 15 or more employees. It was alleged that to avoid complying with the law, contractors created smaller work units with fewer than 15 employees.

The revisions lower the threshold for covered contractors from 15 to five employees and extend the transitional employment period from 60 to 90 days. The new law also has expanded requirements for information sharing, requiring that workers be told with whom to communicate at the new employer.

While this new venture had many challenges, she knew that she would have support from the WBDC, which she has been working with for over 20 years. “My first business started around when the WBDC started. In fact one of our first marketing agency projects was the original newsletter for them. First I went there to get counselling and then I started working on the newsletter. When I was ready to start my current business I reached out for help again.”

Ready to turn her new idea into reality, Rubinstein leaned on the WBDC for help. “I took the GPS 12-week program to get my business plan done. The WBDC has so many great resources. I’ve just taken advantage of everything.”

In addition to the Client of the Year Award, ten other outstanding WBDC clients will be honored for their own successes in business.

WBDC will also present its “Woman with Impact Award” to three women who have personally exemplified the mission and goals of the organization by promoting economic equality and prosperity for women. They are:

TALKING TO A LOVED ONE ABOUT ASSISTED LIVING (454 words) There's no playbook on how to broach the often emotional subject of moving a loved one into an assisted living community. But those who have done it successfully seem to agree on a few things that helped their family member transition into their new life. It all begins with communication, early and often.

SIX MYTHS ABOUT AGING AND EXERCISE

IT'S A PROCESS, NOT AN EVENT--The earlier conversations about future living arrangements start, the better.

It will seem like a more natural transition if there have been ongoing discussions about what happens if the stairs become too much, or if declining health requires a little help getting dressed or doing other everyday things. A logical approach can work wonders, assuming your loved one isn't suffering from dementia. And if dementia is a factor, extra patience and advice from a doctor or other professional may be called for.

WHAT DOES HE/SHE WANT?--Always asking their opinion keeps mom or dad engaged in the process. The minute 1:you dictating start losing them.BOTHER Resentment breeds when well-meaning family members MYTH I’Mstart GOING TO the GETrules, OLDyou'll ANYWAY SO WHY EXERCISING? make Regular too many decisions for helps a parent FACT: physical activity youwithout look andtheir feel input. younger and stay independent longer.

Asking questions of AT the RISK tour guide encouraging your loved one to do the same keeps the dialogue MYTH 2: EXERCISE PUTS ME FORand FALLS. going.

Again, communication is the difference.

FACT: Regular exercise, builds strength and stamina. This prevents loss of bone mass and improves balance, actually reducing your risk of falling.

The key is to set realistic lifestyle goals that are appropriate for your age. * And remember: a sedentary lifestyle takes a much greater toll on athletic ability than biological aging.

MYTH 5: I CAN’T EXERCISE BECAUSE I’M DISABLED. FACT: Chair-bound people face special challenges but lifting light weights, stretching, chair aerobics, chair yoga, and chair Tai Chi can increase their range of motion, improve muscle tone and flexibility, and promote cardiovascular health. Many swimming pools offer access to wheelchair users and there are adaptive exercise programs for wheelchair sports such as basketball.

MYTH 6: I HAVE TOO MANY ACHES AND PAINS AND FEEL WEAK. FACT: Getting moving can help you manage pain and improve your strength and self-confidence. Many older people find that regular activity not only helps stem the decline in strength and vitality that comes with age, but actually improves it. The key is to start off gently.

BRE has been selected by Bunge Limited, the global supplier of agricultural commodities, to be the exclusive agent handling the subleasing of its space on three floors at 50 Main St. in White Plains.

The 66,303 square feet of space is comprised of the building's sixth, seventh and eighth floors. CBRE is marketing a sublease running through June 2025. In August, the Business Journal reported that Bunge was moving its global headquarters from White Plains to the St. Louis, Missouri, metropolitan area, representing the loss of about 150 jobs for White Plains.

Brian Carcaterra, Michael McCall and Ryan Christie are heading up the assignment from CBRE’s Westchester/ Fairfield office in Stamford.

The 15-story building at the corner of Main and Bank Streets is part of City Square, owned by Ginsburg Development Companies.

Originally the Westchester Financial Center, Ginsburg has been reinventing the site to incorporate new residential and retail spaces along with a two-acre park and other amenities.

Carcaterra told the Business Journal that a sublease running only

until 2025 could fit right in with the needs of some prospects looking for fairly short-term occupancy.

He said some companies need swing space during renovations.

“Some companies don't mind having backend exposure and are happy to sublease for a term and then, if need be, move again,” according to Carcaterra. “Prospects for a property this large may need the space for a number of different reasons, which may have different term objectives.”

He suggested that the space is large when compared with the spaces occupied by many other businesses in White Plains and that a tenant needing the space for longer could seek a direct extension with Ginsburg Development Companies.

Carcaterra said the size and scope of CBRE's operations will enable it to “cast the net far and wide” in seeking potential users of the space. “It's headquarters-quality space with the highest-end finishes and the most state-of-the-art design and development,” he said. “The standards are current and the layout accommodates today's workplace standards.”

Those standards have changed somewhat because of the internet culture and increased interest in working at home.

“Telecommuting and remote workplace locations have impacted the workplace,” he said. “Our industry standard for office space used to be about 250 square feet per person and now it's approximately 200 square feet per person. That's a 20% reduction, which is obviously a huge difference.”

Carcaterra said lifestyle amenities available at a property are increasingly important for attracting prospects in today's office leasing market.

“Fitness, collaboration areas, space to work outside of one's cubicle or office, outdoor space, high-quality healthy food services, quality and value.

Space must support the attraction and retention of employees,” he said.

Also significant is the property's location, in this case diagonally across from the Metro-North Railroad station.

“It's not often you have the confluence of the highest quality space, exceptional real estate, located on the train 35 minutes from Grand Central, priced well below half of midtown Manhattan rents. The usual suspects of Westchester's elite businesses will be on our list. Several of them have already contacted us. The White Plains central business district is as strong as it's been in my 17 years working the market,” he said.

Ask Andi Managing risk WE HAVE A HUGE OPPORTUNITY AND WE’RE GOING TO BE TAKING A HUGE RISK TO GO AFTER IT. THIS IS THE KIND OF RISK AND DEBT THAT COULD DESTROY EVERYTHING I’VE WORKED FOR BECAUSE IT INVOLVES A TON OF DEBT AND IF WE GET INTO A LOGJAM WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PAY FOR OTHER THINGS I NEED. WE’RE USING ALL OF OUR SAVINGS AND THEN MORE. THIS IS THE BIG PLAY. GOT ANY SUGGESTIONS? THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Managing risk is a step-bystep process. You’ll have to choose from some imperfect options. As you think about what to do, keep things in perspective. Look for ways to minimize the consequences.

Build a checklist of options including: • Ask the bank or other lenders for the money you need.

• Put the deal on hold and concentrate on building up reserves so you’re in a better position.

• Look for another firm that might also be interested in some of the work that could provide resources, and that is not likely to try and take your firm out now or in the future.

• Sell the business to a bigger firm that is more able to handle the work.

• Find a financial partner and share the upside and downside on the deal.

Make a list of pros and cons for each option. That will help you look more analytically at why you might, or might not, want to pursue each possible solution.

Remember going into a big play you have options, but none of them are perfect solutions. You can choose to avoid or minimize the risk.

This might mean taking a piece of the opportunity and not going after it all. Or you could walk away from the deal, and come back to it, or another one of similar magnitude, when your company is more prepared to handle it.

When considering your options, think about what it would mean to the company if things work out and

if they don’t. Most entrepreneurs are good at seeing the upside, not so good at considering the worst-case scenario.

Think about what might happen if things don’t work out. What would you have to do? Fire people? Cut back on your personal income? Sell off assets? Could the company be in total jeopardy, and if that’s the case, what would happen to you, your family and all the other families that depend on your company? Is it worth risking all that?

Is there a safer option?

Can you partner with someone who has deeper pockets or more resources to put toward the deal? Maybe you won’t get all of the upside, but you’ll also have protection from the downside.

Can you negotiate something more manageable?

Can you cut down the size of the deal, or spread it out

into more bite-size chunks that you can digest sequentially? What about going to a competitor in another geography and giving them a piece of the work, knowing that they won’t likely come around to set up shop in your backyard.

Can you find a financial partner to take on some of the risk? Someone who is willing to share in the upside and the downside will probably want equity, but this may be better than holding 100% of a big stinky bag of problems if things go wrong.

That same approach may hold true when considering selling out. This may be the optimal time to negotiate a sale. Think about the terms you want, including future employment, ability to operate independently, security for your existing workforce, continuation of your company’s brand, etc.

I

t was another record‑breaking evening for the Business Council of Westchester as more than 900 business, political and community leaders turned out on October 10 at the Hilton Westchester for the 2019 Annual Dinner featuring MGM Resorts International Chairman and CEO Jim Murren.

Murren, whose company earlier this year acquired Empire City Casino for $850 million, touched upon a wide range of topics in a 45‑minute interview with BCW President and CEO Marsha Gordon. Speaking about MGM Resorts International’s corporate culture, Murren said, “We have endeavored to be leaders in terms of the culture we have developed.

The majority of our employees are minorities, the majority of our employees are female. We have worked very hard to make sure everyone feels included, that we are a diverse and vibrant organization. We are a strong community partner and our record speaks for itself.”

Murren talked about how his company has successfully brought

professional sports to Las Vegas and what it could mean for Westchester County. “Sports, whether it’s collegiate, high school or pro, is the future of what we believe to be the entertainment experience. We want to bring a lot of that content and experience to Westchester County.”

Murren also commented on the importance of having a full gaming license for Empire City Casino, an issue that the BCW has been at the forefront for many years.

“What we can do for Westchester can all be achieved if we get live gaming and full scale gaming both in terms of sports betting and live table games. We can provide more entertainment whether it’s theatrical or sports. We can provide venues for your high schools, colleges and universities to have a place to play. We can bring our incredible talent of live entertainment. You want to see Lady Gaga? Well, I can bring her to Empire City.”

He also said full gaming at Empire City Casino would generate jobs.

“Imagine for a moment. We have 1,200 employees, some of the

WCBJ

greatest men and women in our industry. Imagine if there were two or three thousand more employees.”

On the topic of corporate social responsibility (CSR), Murren noted that MGM Resorts International is committed to a sustainable future.

He said the company is building a hundred megawatt solar array, which is one of the largest in the United States. He noted that within two years, it will supply 90 percent of all the power the company consumes in Las Vegas. “Investors say they care about CSR. But they don’t put their money where their mouth is enough,” he said.

Concluding the interview, Gordon commented “We thank you for what you’re doing here in Yonkers and at Empire City. We look forward to working with you at the Business Council of Westchester.

Having Empire City Casino receive a full gaming license remains one of the top legislative agenda items for the BCW. We will work with you as you look to engage small businesses and other businesses in the community with great recognition to diversity.”

Pandora Jewelry store has closed after 10 years at Stamford Town Center, mall officials have con-

firmed.

Reflecting the high turnover at a mall now up for sale, the shop on the fifth level shut down Oct. 6. Stamford Town Center General Manager Dan Stolzenbach said “I cannot speculate” on the reasons for its closing. Pandora had operated at the mall since September 2009.

A message left for Pandora was not returned.

Earlier this year, the Copenhagen, Denmarkheadquartered company announced plans to close several dozen stores around the world.

It still operates at several other malls in Connecticut, including establishments at the new SoNo Collection in Norwalk, Danbury Fair and Westfield Trumbull malls.

Another jewelry store, Kay Jewelers, still operates on Stamford Town Center’s fourth floor.

At the same time, the mall is bringing in new tenants. Last month saw the opening of a Perfumania store on the fourth level and The Sports Fan, a sports-merchandise shop, on its fifth floor.

Upcoming arrivals include a Fun Palace entertainment center and a store for Seventh Sense Botanical Therapy, a cannabidiol-based skincare line. Kilim Designs, a store specializing in Turkish rugs and housewares, is also set to debut within the next couple of months.

The mall has also recruited a number of temporary tenants, including a Spirit Halloween pop-up store that opened late last month.

July saw the closing of women’s clothing chain Chico’s and the opening, a couple of doors down, of menswear retailer Zane.

Openings in June included a Boost Mobile store, mobile device repair and accessory shop The Fix and custom-apparel store Concept Design.

In May, a Crystal’s Fun Spot children’s

launched in April.

The new stores have helped to offset more than a dozen closings at the mall this year. The list of exits this year includes J. Crew, Armani Exchange, Ann Taylor, Gymboree, Charlotte Russe, Payless ShoeSource, The Walking Co., Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma.

Kona Grill, on the mall’s restaurant row,

closed in April.

The mall still has a number of vacant storefronts across several levels. All of its anchor spaces are filled — by Barnes & Noble, Macy’s and Saks Off 5th.

udlow Avenue Corp.

LLC has acquired the 22,735-square-foot retail center at 778, 786 and 790 Yonkers Ave. in Yonkers as part of a $5.6 million transaction.

The deal was announced

by Yonkers-based brokerage NuRealty Advisors, which did not provide additional details about the sale of the property. It was valued at $4.9 million. NuRealty said it marketed the property for two years before securing a buyer.

“This transaction was challenging as the retail market has been recently soft, but our efforts to pro-

N

mote the future value given light of the recent sale of Empire Casino to MGM was instrumental in our ability to market this property for sale,” NuRealty said.

Ludlow’s intent is to

renew leases on a long-term basis. Tenants include HSBC Bank, Mr. Kold Kuts and Paradise Lanes. It is confident that new tenants can be found given the proximity of MGM, the realty added.

ew York Attorney General Letitia James and her Connecticut counterpart William Tong have announced their respective states will be receiving funds as part of a $117 million multistate settlement involving Johnson & Johnson and its subsidiary Ethicon Inc. and the marketing of their transvaginal surgical mesh devices.

Transvaginal surgical mesh is a synthetic material that is surgically implanted through the vagina to support the pelvic organs of women who suffer from

stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.

Forty states and the District of Columbia sued the companies, accusing them of endangering the health of women by misrepresenting the safety and effectiveness

of the devices and not properly disclosing the risks associated with their use.

New York will receive $5.2 million under the terms of the settlement and Connecticut will receive $1.96 million.

Bethel's Lynx.City makes people ‘feel like a kid again’ with electric scooters

BY KEVIN ZIMMERMAN kzimmerman@westfairinc.com

W

ith interest growing in alternative “greener” modes of transportation, a Bethel electric scooter company is betting that its app-driven rental system has the potential for becoming the norm.

“We’ve seen the trends around the country and in Europe for electric scooters,” said David Harvey, who with Alan Moisio launched Lynx.City in September. “It’s gained a lot of popularity on the west coast for ‘last mile’ transportation options, and we felt the time was right to introduce it here as well.”

Harvey knows something about transportation. He’s also a co-owner of Vroom Service Now, the popular third-party restaurant delivery service headquartered in Brookfield.

He said he and Moisio, who owns Bethel’s smart-home climate-control company Complete Control Systems, wanted to “get a head start”

on helping to introduce the concept to the area.

Lynx.City’s first rollout has taken place not in Bethel, or even nearby Danbury, but in New Milford, where Mayor Pete Bass quickly saw its value.

“With Lynx available, we are able to provide alternative last-mile transportation options to our residents and tourists,” Bass said. “This is a 100% green mode of transportation and offers new ways to explore the local business community and our beautiful downtown.”

The company racked up 300 rides in its first four days of availability, earning plaudits from residents and participating businesses alike.

“It was perfect for downtown travel,” said resident Dan Stra. “The setup was as easy as setting up any other app-based service. While the downtown area is easy to cover on foot, the experience on a Lynx scooter will draw me to scooting around town more often.”

“We’re excited to have access to Lynx scooters at

Makery Coworking,” added Tony Vengrove, founder and CEO of the New Milford coworking space. “Beyond the sheer entertainment value of riding the scooters, I think many of our members, including myself, will use them to expand our lunch options or run errands that fall between walking and driving.”

Once users download the

app and sign up for the service with a credit card, they add money to their digital wallet for each ride: $1 to unlock their account and 23 cents per minute, with $25 per-day and $50 per-week options also available. The scooters must be returned to a dedicated Lynx.City rental location, though not necessarily to the same one from which they

first took possession.

Each station will have three to 10 scooters to begin with, depending on demand.

A total of 50 scooters are now available in New Milford.

The idea, he said, is that, “This could be your primary vehicle during the week — $50 a week is less than most people spend on a car payment plus taxes, insurance and gas — and you’re cutting down on emissions, which helps the environment.”

All Lynx scooters are insured, Harvey noted, and riders are required to stick to designated bike lanes. Riding on sidewalks is prohibited.

All Lynx riders are required to wear helmets and must be at least 18 years old. Parental or guardian consent is required for underage riders. The top speed is 15 miles per hour.

The general lack of consistent governance, not to mention consistently flat surfaces and weather, have been something of an obstacle for the firm, Harvey said, noting that some towns still

lag behind bigger cities when it comes to regulating bike lanes. Nevertheless, he said, interest has been expressed by lawmakers in Danbury — Roberto Alves, running for City Council this year, took a spin recently — and Norwalk.

In addition to Connecticut, Lynx.City also has its eye on Florida where the climate is a bit more predictable. So how much potential does Lynx.City have? According to a report by the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO), the number of rides Americans took via dockless scooters, bikes and traditional bikeshare systems more than doubled from 2017 to 2018, to 84 million trips. Leading that charge were dockless electric scooters, with 85,000 available for rent in about 100 U.S. cities from such companies as Bird, Lime, Spin and Skip.

“There’s definitely a sheer entertainment value involved,” Harvey said.

“People have said riding one makes them feel like a kid again. I highly recommend any adult to at least try it.”

Why asthma attacks spike in the fall, and what to do about it

any people associate springtime with asthma attacks, in large part due to increased exposure to pollens as flowers and plants start to bloom.

But some studies show asthma attacks spike during the fall, when more people — especially children — go to the hospital because of asthma-related complications than any other time of the year, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

About 1 in 12 Americas have asthma, a chronic condition that makes it difficult to move air in and out of the lungs and may trigger wheezing, chest tightness and coughing. In 2019, New York City ranked as the 39th most challenging city in the

nation for those living with the condition. It is also among the most expensive chronic conditions to treat, with the economic burden estimated at $62 billion due to medical costs, loss in work productivity and school absences.

There isn’t a cure for asthma, which is generally caused by environmental and genetic factors. The condition is treatable with a combination of medication and avoiding or eliminating triggers. However, an estimated 50% of adults — and 40% of children — with asthma don’t have control of their condition, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Consider the following tips to help reduce the risk of asthma-related issues.

AVOID CAUSES OF THE COMMON COLD

Part of the fall spike in asthma-related complications is due to back-to-school season, with packed classrooms that spread cold-causing germs. Catching a cold or the flu can trigger asthma, so parents and children should wash their hands regularly and avoid close contact with people who may be ill. The CDC recommends flu shots for everyone 6 months and older, and especially for older Americans, and people with certain chronic conditions.

LIMIT EXPOSURE TO AIR POLLUTANTS

Avoiding exposure to outdoor and indoor air pollutants is crucial. Nearly 40%

of all asthma attacks are triggered by something in the home, including irritants such as tobacco smoke, dust mites, cockroach allergens, rodents and mold. Poorly maintained housing and polluted areas put people at a higher risk of developing asthma. Removing irritants such as dust and mold, particularly in a child’s bedroom, can help reduce the frequency and intensity of asthma attacks.

FOLLOW MEDICATIONS AS PRESCRIBED

Most children with asthma take two inhaler medications — a daily “controller” medication of corticosteroids to help prevent an onset of an attack, and a

rescue inhaler for breathing troubles. Missing multiple days of the prescribed medication, or overuse of a rescue inhaler, may contribute to complications. By following recommended medication frequency and dosage — along with discussing any questions or concerns with their doctor — people can improve their well-being and reduce avoidable trips to the emergency room.

CONSIDER CONNECTED DEVICES

A growing number of health plans and care providers are starting to test “smart inhalers” which use Bluetooth technology and mobile apps to send realtime data back to parents

and health professionals to help them monitor medication usage patterns. Other connected devices can measure indoor air quality, offering real-time feedback to help people reduce exposure to potential irritants.

For some people asthma is a nuisance while for others it can be life threatening due to sudden-onset asthma attacks. There are more than 1.7 million asthma-related visits to the ER each year.

The signs of elder abuse must never be ignored

C

onsidering that one in five U.S. residents will be 66 by the year 2030, it’s critical to turn our attention to the issue of elder abuse that impacts the health, well-being and human rights of so large a population in our community.

Despite ongoing misconceptions that seniors are primarily victimized by strangers, almost 60 percent of elder abuse is perpetrated by a family member, followed by friends and neighbors (16.9%). If a senior feels pressured by a family member to turn over their financial accounts or regularly gets verbally or physically abused by an adult child or sibling, perhaps it’s not that surprising that many seniors inter-

act less and less with loved ones as they age.

In New York state, approximately 141 out of 1,000 residents have experienced some form of abuse since turning age 60. This is in keeping with national statistics that found one in 10 older Americans have been the victim of elder abuse.

Only one in 14 cases of elder abuse are reported to authorities, according to a report by the National Research Council Panel to Review Risk and Prevalence of Elder Abuse and Neglect.

The laws protecting the elderly from abuse are similar to and related to laws protecting dependent adults from abuse. The challenge in both cases lies in

the ability to identify the early signs of abuse before it escalates into serious violence and in convincing victims, as well as doctors, nurses, social workers, caregivers and others who might interact regularly with the victim, to come forward.

The most visible forms of abuse include physical abuse, neglect or mistreatment. This includes bruises, broken bones, abrasions, poor hygiene, weight loss and unexplained injuries.

Also included could be poor medication management, broken eyeglasses, unsanitary living conditions and the absence of proper utilities in the home.

Signs of emotional abuse can be spotted by an unex-

plained withdrawal from normal activities, a sudden change in alertness, unusual depression, strained or tense relationships and frequent arguments between the caregiver and older adult. Signs of financial abuse include sudden changes in financial situations such as withdrawals from accounts when the elder is bedridden, changes in wills, power of attorneys and policies. Verbal or emotional abuse can be identified by belittling, threats or other uses of power and control by individuals.

There are many ways individuals can prevent a loved one from experiencing elder abuse, including: • Encourage loved ones to consider the transition

to an adult home. Senior residences provide recreational activities and time to interact with fellow seniors and other community members.

• Remain in close contact with elderly family members or friends as it will avoid isolation and allow time to look for elder abuse and assist the individual, as needed.

• Encourage seniors to attend social clubs at senior centers or adult care facilities.

• Do not allow elders to live with someone who is irresponsible or has a history of violence. A person is likely to repeat negative behaviors, especially with someone who is vulnerable.

• Be wary of caregivers or

friends needing financial help or those who have issues with illicit drugs.

Elders can be manipulated.

Elders should be aware of their own financial affairs or have a trusted relative or friend help manage his or her money.

• Don’t allow a caretaker or family member to impulsively alter an elder’s will or add their names to a financial account.

• Inform elders to be wary of telephone or email solicitations. Seniors are often the target of financial scams.

Good Things Fairfield County FITNESS GURU BRINGS WELLNESS EXPERTISE TO MOUNTAINSIDE Fitness trainer Leandro Carvalho is the Brazilian native who was well-known in New York City fitness clubs for his celebrity clientele and signature Brazil Butt Lift classes, which later became a popular video series.

But, behind closed doors Carvalho struggled with drug addiction for years. With help from friends and family, he was able to get the treatment he needed. Today, he teaches fitness and wellness classes at Mountainside Treatment Center at 187 S. Canaan Road in Canaan, the same place where his recovery journey started.

While he now focuses on total wellness, Carvalho first found success through fitness. His routines were groundbreaking at the time for their inclusion of both fitness and dance. For 13 years, he trained celebrities and supermodels, including Victoria’s Secret’s Angel Alessandra Ambrosio and actress Blake Lively, to name a few. After working in many of the hottest health clubs in New York City, including Equinox, Carvalho opened his own fitness studio.

After complications from back surgery, he was told that he may not be able to work in fitness again. To cope with this devastating news, he turned to meth, which began a spiral into addiction and resulted in the closing of his gym.

Carvalho is now in recovery, but he hasn’t forgotten what he learned at Mountainside. The Total Mind and Body workshops he created for his students go beyond physical exercise. They include expressive sessions such as art and music therapy, which provide a healthy outlet for people in recovery to release difficult feelings.
