French-American School scales down campus plans in White Plains COMMON COUNCIL VOTE BRINGS TEMPORARY HALT TO LEGAL BATTLE BY RYAN DEFFENBAUGH rdeffenbaugh@westfairinc.com

AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY of White Plains and the French-

American School of New York will create a temporary ceasefire in what a state Supreme Court judge called a “war of attrition”

ome century-old buildings in Peekskill are getting a new life thanks to Monica Flaherty, a resident of the city who, through her development company The Flatz Properties LLC, has shelled out more than $2 million to purchase and rehab five properties. “I am particularly interested in architecturally interesting properties,” she said. “I love the high ceilings. I love the way people used to design for space.” That interest is the reason the 150-yearold building at 1008 Main St. caught her eye. Built as a hotel in 1865, with grand hallways and marble fireplaces, the building later fell into disrepair before it was revitalized in the 1980s.

Building for longtime tenant Gov. George Pataki, later served as a health care facility and an after-school center for children. “A lot of people in Peekskill have been through this space,” Flaherty said. Now called The Flatz, Flaherty’s flagship location features two large retail spaces on the ground floor and office spaces ranging from 300 to 3,000 square feet on the floors above. Nine businesses, from an accountant to a DJ, occupy space on the upper commercial floors, while a Japanese restaurant on the first floor will soon be joined by a sushi and sashimi restaurant. Each floor also has a separate art gallery space. After two years of development, Flaherty still has big plans for The Flatz, which her company is marketing as the “Great Dame” of downtown Peekskill.

an a cartoonish talking dog commit false advertising? That’s the issue that pits Sophie, a West Highland terrier from East Fishkill, against Nestle Purina Petcare Co. of St. Louis. It’s a close call, U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth M. Karas ruled in August on a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed on behalf of Sophie. Actually, neither Sophie nor her predecessor, the late Tyler, also a West Highland terrier, are named as plaintiffs. Their owner, Paul Kacocha, sued Nestle Purina last year claiming that misleading marketing motivated him to buy bacon-flavored Beggin’ Strips. For years he bought the treats at Animal Kingdom in Brewster, Petco in Poughkeepsie and Pet Supplies Plus in Fishkill. “Dog lovers go to extremes to provide for and feed their dogs,” his complaint says. They want to give their dogs “high-quality, wholesome, human-quality ingredients and are willing to pay a premium price to do so.” Beggin’ Strips prominently feature bacon on the packaging and television commercials. But bacon and bacon fat are the 10th and 12th ingredients by weight, surpassed by non-meat fillers like ground wheat, corn gluten meal and water. Kacocha contends that the advertising and packaging constitute false representations under the New York General Business Law. He sued in U.S. District Court in White Plains and asked that the case be certified as a class action on behalf of all dog owners who were deceived into thinking that Beggin’ Strips are made predominantly of real pork bacon. Beggin’ Strips were introduced in 1993 and includes a dozen variations, like thick cut hickory and BBQ pork. Sophie and Tyler were partial to the basic bacon and the bacon and cheese versions. Beggin’ Strips are cut, shaped, colored and striated to look like real bacon. They are flavored to smell like bacon. Even the name, Kacocha says, is designed to sound like the word bacon when spoken. A large image of crispy bacon is splayed across the front of the package, just above an icon of a frying pan with two sizzling strips of bacon and the notation, “bacon flavor.” The back side features a crazed,

salivating dog chasing a giant strip of bacon. The caption says “BacoNology 101.” And then there is the TV commercial, “There’s No Time Like Beggin’ Time,” that has aired more than 6,700 times. A digitally added bacon-flavored bouquet wafts from the package and over the family dog. The dog jumps to attention and a thought bubble — four strips of bacon on a plate — appears next to his right ear. The voiceover has the dog shouting, “Bacon, gotta get that bacon!” Hold on, Nestle Purina responded to the dog owner’s legal complaint. No reasonable consumer could be deceived into thinking that Beggin’ Strips contain slices of humangrade bacon. The ingredient label clearly lists bacon and bacon fat. Kacocha’s gripe, the company says in its motion to dismiss the lawsuit, is that there just isn’t enough bacon to satisfy him. A reasonable consumer understands that a non-refrigerated dog treat would not contain meat that spoils or fat that turns rancid. Consumers recognize that a product fashioned to mimic bacon is not actual bacon. The bacon on the package is not a picture of actual bacon but a cartoonish depiction of bacon, according to Nestle Purina. “Beggin’” is a play on words meant to convey the notion that dogs will “love the product so much they will beg for it.” And “BacoNology” is a made-up word that evokes the idea of scientists conjuring a product that appeals to dogs just as bacon does but that is not actually bacon. The TV commercials are hyperbolic presentations that constitute commercial puffery, the company says, and cannot be

the basis for a false advertising claim. The ad is told from the point of view of a “maniacal, bacon-obsessed dog” that “craves bacon so badly he sees it everywhere.” “It’s bacon!” a dog screams when a psychologist shows a Rorschach inkblot of Beggin’ Strips. The psychologist corrects the dog, “No, it’s Beggin’ Strips brand. Dogs don’t know it’s not bacon.” The advertising is so grossly exaggerated, Nestle Purina argues, that no reasonable buyer would take it at face value. “In an act of judicial restraint,” Judge Karas wryly wrote in his ruling, he declined to invoke the phrase “where’s the beef?” or the expression “when pigs fly” or the works of seventeenth-century English jurist Sir Francis Bacon, “although not for want of opportunity.” Different courts have come to different conclusions when faced with the same issues, Karas said, and the facts in this case may yet yield a different conclusion at a later stage. He did dismiss the sole complaint about the company’s website where it says Beggin’ Strips are made with bacon, because the statement is true. The crux of Kacocha’s claim is that he believed the product was predominantly made of real bacon and therefore he paid a premium. In light of the heavily themed bacon-branding, the judge said, the claim is not implausible. While an overly excited, cartoonish talking dog salivating over crispy bacon may be playful or absurd, it’s not enough to make the advertising “nonactionable puffery,” the judge ruled. So for now, Sophie’s and Tyler’s suit still has legs.

A call for support in Hyde Park

e need support from Hyde Park business owners and citizens to move an essential development project forward. Last year, Nicolas Dibrizzi and Nick Citera — owners of Cosimo’s Restaurant Group — purchased the former Grand Union Plaza in an effort to revitalize this blighted site, which has been vacant for more than 10 years. Current plans include removing the former Molloy Pharmacy building and constructing a new, historically and aesthetically designed building for Mavis Tire — a use permitted in the current zoning law and which would further establish this and the plaza to the south as retail service centers with sidewalks, lighting and extensive landscaping to connect the two properties. This investment will benefit the residents of Hyde Park as well as owners of other properties and businesses in the surrounding area, bringing jobs and tax revenue back to the town. Mr. DiBrizzi and Mr. Citera have worked with the town in creating a site exceeding the municipal requirements. Recently, however, they attended a Planning Board public hearing on their proposal and were met with sharp criticism from outspoken individuals. Unfortunately, little to no support for the project was present. I am asking for local businesses and community members to join the Chamber in proudly supporting this redevelopment project! The community needs our support to create jobs, rejuvenate Hyde Park and revitalize this dilapidated plaza. We have started a petition online at Change.org (goo.gl/ XGKJlP) and I am asking for signatures in support of the proposed plan. I also ask supporters to attend and speak at the upcoming public hearing on Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 7 p.m. in Hyde Park Town Hall at 4383 Albany Post Road.

Harrison has not constructed new affordable housing in 25 years. The town was one of 31 communities in Westchester County named in a 2009 legal settlement with the federal government that required the county to build 750 units of affordable housing in targeted, largely white communities. Of the 421 units planned, Normandy will reserve 21 apartments for households earning up to 60 percent of the area median income, about $52,000 for a family of two. The other 21 units will be be reserved for households earning up to 80 percent of the area median income, about $69,000 for a family of two. Normandy aims to start construction on The Residences at Corporate Park Drive in early 2017, according to a press release from the developer. “We applaud the vision and foresight of the town of Harrison in permitting the multifamily residential use of the 103-105 property, which will provide a new highquality housing option for young professionals and empty nesters,” said Giorgios L.

Its portfolio includes about 15 buildings along I-287 in Harrison and White Plains among 13.2 million square feet of commercial assets in the Boston, New York City, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. markets.

Chappaqua Crossing developer turns over auditorium to town BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

400-seat auditorium at the former headquarters of Reader’s Digest will be deeded to the town of New Castle by the developer of the mixed-use Chappaqua Crossing campus and renovated as a public performing arts center. Summit/Greenfield Partners, the Connecticut joint-venture owners that paid $59 million for the 114-acre Reader’s Digest campus in Chappaqua in 2004, said the 13,000-square-foot Wallace Auditorium opened in 1986, the last building added to the 77-year-old landmark office campus developed by Reader’s Digest founders Dewitt and Lila A. Wallace. The facility, used as a conference center by the former publishing giant, has been made available to other office tenants on the campus by Summit/ Greenfield, which has used part of the building as a Chappaqua Crossing information center. The auditorium was not included in redevelopment plans for the property approved by town officials after several years of contentious public hearings, delays and state and federal lawsuits brought by the developer against town officials. Rather than demolish the building, the developer offered to donate the auditorium to the town. The New Castle Town Board voted to lease the building for $1 a year through Dec. 31, 2017, when the town will take title to the property. Felix Charney, principal of Summit/ Greenfield and president of Summit Development LLC in Southport, in March led a ceremonial groundbreaking for the 120,000-square-foot retail component of Chappaqua Crossing, which will include a 40,000-square-foot Whole Foods Market and 40,000-square-foot Life Time Fitness Center expected to open in 2017. Summit/ Greenfield also will add 91 market-rate townhomes to be built near the hilltop auditorium and convert the iconic Cupola Building that served as Wallace headquarters into 28 affordable apartments, in addition to leasing 450,000 square feet of existing office space to medical and other tenants. New Castle Town Supervisor Robert Greenstein in the developer’s announcement said the auditorium will be “an incredible asset for the town.” He cited the

economic and cultural benefits that other performing arts centers have brought to neighboring communities such as Pleasantville, home to the Jacob Burns Film Center.

and plans to install solar panels on the roof. Flaherty in December 2014 also acquired four other mixed-use properties in the city, all within a two-block radius of 1008 Main St. In total, she holds more than 30,000 square feet of real estate and 30 office and apartment units at her properties at 114 N. Broadway, 160 N. Division St., 1134 Main St. and 1132 Main St. Flaherty said all her units are fully rented. “Peekskill is so hot right now for residential stuff,” Flaherty said, citing the ongoing revitalization of the city. “If I could get 10 more buildings, all residential apartments, I could rent them tomorrow. We cannot rent things fast enough.” As for office space in Peekskill, Flaherty said, “It was a lot tougher two years, a year and a half ago, but right now we have people reaching out to us through our contact form (online).” Flaherty said that though she does not seem to have any issue finding tenants for her properties, she has noticed a number of commercial vacancies in the surrounding area. “I don’t know if it’s because our offices sizes are perfect for one- and two-people offices, and we kind of have a little bit of a community feeling in the buildings,” she

FASNY — » » From page 1

With the scaled-back plan, the FASNY project would essentially start fresh. The school will again be required to submit to a full environmental and zoning review by the city. In 2011, FASNY bought the former Ridgeway Country Club for $11 million and unveiled plans to consolidate its Larchmont, Scarsdale and Mamaroneck campuses into a new facility on the property. The school’s original plan for the five-building campus included students from pre-school through 12th grade and a 78-acre public park on the former golf course that would be maintained by the school. White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach stressed at the Sept. 6 meeting that accepting the stipulation agreement did not mean the council was delivering any verdict on the actual reduced proposal. “This is simply holding the current litigation in abeyance while we consider an application which they have every right to make with or without a stipulation,” he said. “It doesn’t mean the council is taking any

said. “I know there are other offices available in Peekskill, but I would imagine that the market is starting to tighten up for them too, which is great for everybody.” For the Seattle native, property development is in her blood. Flaherty was raised by a single mother who spent her days purchasing and renovating homes with Flaherty’s aunt. “I was, like, women use power tools and put up sheetrock. That’s what we do. That’s normal,” she recalled thinking as a child. Following her graduation from Harvard in 1992, where she majored in government, Flaherty purchased her first building in 1993, a vacant Victorian rowhouse in Boston’s South End with heroin needles strewn across the floor and sewage falling through the ceiling. But the building’s disrepair did little to dissuade Flaherty from its purchase. “I went in, and I was in in love,” she said. Flaherty relocated to Westchester in 2006 after marrying her husband Erik Contzius, a New Yorker whom she met in a singing class and who is her partner in the real estate business. She said Peekskill caught her eye both because of its architecture and its energy. “This really suited me and my husband culturally. It’s very liberal. We like the community, art and theater scene. Peekskill is great.” Once renovations to her holdings are completed, Flaherty plans to shift her focus

position as to this proposal.” In the new plan, FASNY’s proposed conservation easement has been decreased from 78 acres to 51 acres, which the school in a statement said reflects the planned reduction in student population and building size. FASNY filed for two easements with the city last week, one for the 51-acre conservation tract and another for a pedestrian and bike pathway that will connect to Robinhood Road in the city. Hathaway Lane would also remain open under the revised plan, after its closure became a sticking point during the first application. FASNY filed its lawsuit in September 2015 after the White Plains Common Council failed to reach a supermajority vote needed to close the city road a month earlier. Without approval for the road closure, the council did not bring FASNY’s site plan proposal and application for a special use permit to a vote. In an April 19 decision, state Supreme Court Justice Joan B. Lefkowitz called the city’s handling of FASNY’s application “farcical” and denied a motion from the city to dismiss the school’s lawsuit. Council member John Martin, who voted for the settlement with Roach and

to acquiring more residential buildings in the city. She said she has her eye on a handful of houses in the city that “desperately need updating.”

“Even a lot of the buildings that need a lot of help around here, I just look at them and in my head, I see what they will be,” she said.

council members Beth Smayda and John Kirkpatrick, cited the strong language of the decision and the nearly $200,000 the city has spent in legal fees as reasons to vote for the settlement. “Can anybody have a doubt as to which way the trial court would come out on this one when it finally does reach a decision on the merits, at least at the Supreme Court level?” Martin asked after quoting from Lefkowitz’s decision. “I don’t have a doubt.” Council Member Nadine HuntRobinson, who voted against the settlement with council members Milagros Lecuona and Dennis Krolian, said the cost of legal representation shouldn’t affect the council’s thinking about the proposal. “Because you were sued does not mean you buckle for the sake of saving litigation costs,” Hunt-Robinson said. “If you incur costs, you incur costs to fight for a just result.” FASNY’s plan has been strongly opposed by White Plains residents near the golf course property, led by the Gedney Association, a group representing the Gedney Farms neighborhood. The group has fought the project over concerns that it is too big for the neighborhood and would cause traffic and drainage issues.

Meanwhile, White Plains Neighbors ACT, a group in favor of the project that says it represents about 800 residents, has urged the council to approve the project, arguing that the nature preserve and new school would improve life for residents. By the terms of the settlement, FASNY must submit its new application within seven weeks of the stipulation of settlement’s approval. The city is required to hold a public hearing on the application within 75 days of receiving it and should vote on the plan no later than 45 days after the end of the public hearing or approval of the proposal’s stormwater pollution prevention plan, according to the settlement. The court will oversee the city council’s review of the project, including monthly conferences with the parties. In a statement, FASNY Chairperson Andrea Colombel said she expects the state court to sign off on the stipulation of settlement agreement in the next few days. “Tonight’s vote is long overdue and represents a win-win for the city and the FASNY community,” Colombel said. “All parties can now put aside costly litigation and concentrate on obtaining final approvals for a compromise school plan.”

WCA’S Health Tech ‘16 focuses on county’s growth industry BY ALEESIA FORNI aforni@westfairinc.com

usiness leaders, researchers, investors and academicians will discuss Westchester’s surging health care, health technology and biotechnology sectors at The Westchester County Association’s Health Tech ’16. The conference, titled “Fueling Innovation in Westchester,” will run from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 28 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Tarrytown. The daylong conference will identify the latest emerging trends and new ideas in the health care sector, along with focusing on the research and discoveries unfolding across the industry. “The WCA’s Health Tech conferences have attracted the best and the brightest minds in the region because health care and life sciences is a $15 billion-plus industry and a major economic engine in Westchester County,” said William M. Mooney Jr., president and CEO of the WCA.

Mooney said that Westchester County has “become a major hub for health care, health tech and biotech innovation, and that is creating opportunities for everyone who does business in Westchester.” The growth of the sector in Westchester County and the Hudson Valley has spawned a new digital economy, according to William V. Cuddy Jr., executive vice president at CBRE in Stamford and chairman of the WCA’s Blueprint for Smart Growth initiative, which is working to build an infrastructure that will spur and support Westchester’s innovation economy. The conference will feature a luncheon keynote speech from Michael J. Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health, formerly known as North ShoreLIJ Health System. He led the Long Islandbased hospital system’s acquisition of two Westchester hospitals, Phelps Memorial in Sleepy Hollow and Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, in the last two years. Dowling said his speech, titled “Think

Differently: Writing a New Prescription for Healthcare,” will focus on the importance of health care organizations making partnerships with companies outside of their industry. These partnerships, he said, allow professionals in the health care field to “promote and help people stay healthy, rather than only dealing with illness.” “We have to be in the health business and not just only in the medical care business,” he said. Dowling said the topics discussed at Health Tech ‘16 are important because professionals in the health care sector need to commit to creating a new and different future. They “have to decide what direction they want to be moving in, because they have to realize the biggest competition businesses have is the status quo,” he said. Westchester is an “ideal place” to discuss the growth of the health technology sectors, Dowling said, because it is home to a number of business leaders in the industry. He added that these conferences can be not only stimulating, but also educational, giving attendees new ideas they may not have discovered otherwise. The morning keynoter speaker at Health Tech ‘16 is Tom Coburn, a former U.S. senator from Oklahoma, adviser to the Manhattan Institute’s Project FDA and a three-time cancer survivor.

Coburn will explain four ways the nation can usher in a new Golden Age of medicine in his presentation, “Race Against Time: Why We Need a National Health Innovation Strategy.” Conference attendees will hear from strategists from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, IBM Healthcare, NewYorkPresbyterian/Lawrence, WMCHealth, Burke Medical Research Institute, Addicaid and GNS Healthcare. The conference will also include the WCA Innovation Panel and Pitch Contest, where entrepreneurs will seek advice and pitch new products and services to panelists. This year’s panel features representatives from Dreamit Health, BioLabs New York, Blueprint Health, and NewYork-Presbyterian Innovation Center. Representatives from Westmed Medical Group and Northwell Ventures will join the panel to judge the pitch contest. Registration fees for the full conference are $275 for WCA members and young professionals and $325 for nonmembers. Fees to attend the healthcare innovation panel and pitch contest only are $75 for members and $100 for nonmembers. For additional information and to register online, visit healthtechwca.com.

NEW ROCHELLE LANDLORDS MUST REGISTER STUDENT HOUSING AS COLLEGE STUDENTS FLOCK TO area campuses, landlords in New Rochelle are registering off-campus housing for the first time. The City council passed a law on July 12 that requires property owners who house three or more students to register as student housing businesses by Sept. 30. Council member Barry Fertel sponsored the law because of complaints he had received about overcrowding and nuisances at off-campus housing. The law was cast as a way to protect students from overcrowding, mitigate the impact of student housing on neighborhoods, create a comprehensive directory and provide contact information for emergencies. The law requires an around-the-clock property manager and gives the fire department and building officials the right to inspect the properties periodically. It applies to all residences, from houses to apartment buildings, in which at least three students live, including students on a semester or summer break. The housing must comply with zoning and building regulations. Code violations must be corrected before a registration certificate is issued. The registration form includes the address; corporate name and contact information; owner name and contact information; name of a property manager who is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week; number of bedrooms and number of students residing there; locations of smoke detectors, fire alarm system and fire extinguishers; and locations of hazardous materials. The registration certificate must be displayed prominently. It expires on May 31 and must be renewed each year. The certificate can be revoked and the business can be fined $150 if the registration contains false information. Failure to register, or violation of any of the provisions of the student housing business law, can result in a fine of $250 per day, culminating at $2,500 for the first offense. Subsequent offenses will cost $500 a day, up to a maximum of $2,500. The registration form is at newrochelleny.com/studenthousing. The College of New Rochelle, Iona College and Monroe College are based in the city. The new law, Fertel said at a council

meeting, will give the city “a better grip on what’s going on.”

LEADERSHIP WESTCHESTER SCHOLARSHIP OFFERED THE WESTCHESTER COUNTY ASSOCIATION WILL award a scholarship for Leadership Westchester to a young professional. Leadership Westchester is a ninemonth program that combines classroom discussion, fieldwork and self-study.

people and learning how to operate under pressure with grace. Classes have up to 20 students from business, the public sector and nonprofit organizations. They run from October through June and are held at various locations. The program enables young professionals to be a part of the next generation of business leadership, WCA president Bill Mooney said in a statement. The scholarship covers the $2,750 tuition. Applicants must be under age 40 and they or their organization must be a member of the WCA. The program is run by Volunteer New

York!, which can be reached by phone at 914-948-4452. Applications are due by Sept. 16. The form can be found at volunteernewyork.org/leadership and should be submitted to David Severence (severance@devservices.us) and Julia Emrick (jemrick@westchester.org). —Bill Heltzel

Seven ways your online reputation is killing your business…and how to fix it

onsumers today are looking for five-star reviews online and data shows that 5-Star service produces a large financial return. The best businesses are using online reputation marketing and feedback tools to increase market share, dominate competitors, improve teamwork and increase the lifetime value of each customer. If you’re like many local professionals, you have been feeling the pressure of increased competition—from national chains, discount franchises, price wars, and Internet-based providers—all of which are making it harder for you to thrive in today’s economy. Following are seven ways that your company’s online reputation could be killing your business and solutions for improving your online reviews and reputation. 1. Your staff is unintentionally sabotaging your pro�its. One of the biggest business challenges is that the job of quality customer service is placed on the shoulders of the business or practice owner. Business owners need

to develop a robust feedback and reviews system that encourages every staff member to produce a great experience for each and every customer. 2. You have no feedback loop for corrective action. With a robust platform for obtaining reviews from customers on a daily basis, comes a roadmap that quickly points out aspects of the customer experience that are falling below the level that they expected. That same roadmap will usually point out the direction for fixing the problem. 3. Lack of clear measurable objectives. In the hectic peaks and valleys of everyday business, it’s all too easy for staff members to lose sight of who is their actual boss—the customer. The demands of office routines and procedures can quickly distract the focus away from creating a fivestar experience of service for patients or customers. Creating and managing toward a monthly goal for five-star reviews establishes a “North Star” that reminds everyone continually about working as a team to deliver five-star service.

4. You are killing your referrals. A recent survey concluded 80 percent of potential customers will not choose you if you have negative online reviews. On average, it takes 10 to 12 positive reviews to counteract the impact of a single negative review. So, even if a client does refer you, when that referral prospect checks you out online, you could still lose the business unless you clearly have a five-star reputation online. 5. Paint a better online picture of what you do. Although consumers look carefully at the ratings score on each review, the numerical score is only part of the story. In their reviews, customers will vocalize the unique attributes of your service in ways you’ve never even thought of. Your ability to acquire a broader range of new customers is enhanced and a mismatch between your services and customer expectations is less likely to occur. 6. Your digital authority signals are weak and out of whack. Google detects your level of authority for search results by reading and evaluating

the digital signals, such as reviews, backlinks, longevity, website structure, recent content and updates, videos, accuracy and consistency of directory listings and mobile friendliness of your website. All of these factors translate into higher or lower authority in Google’s algorithms. For example, Google assigns 53 times more authority to your content appearing in videos as opposed to the same content in text. Your objective should be to have the most five-star reviews in your category -and have some of those five-star reviews appearing in video). 7. Your peer authority is subpar. By having a strong, recent and diverse array of five-star reviews, both posted online and streamed to your website, you will make it easier for professional peers to select your business or make referrals to you. The validation from your strong stream of recent five-star reviews will confirm their selection of you as the best solution for the services you provide. Richard J. Roll is the founder and chairman of TrustyAmerica.com in Stamford, a network of local sites showcasing local companies based on �ive-star reviews, and ReadySetBOOM.com, a reputation consulting �irm in Stamford. He can be reached at 203253-7077 or at RRoll@ReadySetBOOM.com.

WELLS FARGO TO CONSOLIDATE LARCHMONT LOCATIONS WELLS FARGO & CO. WILL CLOSE one of its two Larchmont locations, a company spokesperson confirmed. The bank will shut down its branch at 1940 Palmer Ave. and consolidate it with the branch at 2065 W. Post Road in the village about a half mile away. A Wells Fargo spokesperson declined to disclose whether jobs would be lost or shifted to a new location. Based in San Fransisco, Wells Fargo has $1.8 trillion in assets and 8,700 locations in 36 countries. The company reported 233 New York and 77 Connecticut locations in its 2015 annual report.

The Palmer Road Larchmont location will close Nov. 16, according to a company spokesperson.

ARTSWESTCHESTER TO OFFER GRANTS FOR ARTISTS AND COMMUNITY PROJECTS ARTSWESTCHESTER WILL OFFER GRANT OPPORTUNITIES FOR artists and nonprofit organizations through its 2017 Arts Alive Grants. These grants are designed to support community-based artists and emerging arts organizations. A panel of artists and business, civic and cultural leaders will review the applications and make award recommendations to ArtsWestchester’s board of trustees. Funds are available in two categories:

Office Space Available Great Location for Business Office/Doctor’s or Dentist’s Office! Short and Long Term

Available for Immediate Occupancy Intersection 287 & Rte. 9A • Elmsford By Owner

Arts Alive Project Grants provide financial support for a range of projects that demonstrate a strong community benefit. Arts Alive Artist Grants provide direct support to artists to create new work related to the community. The grants are made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a re-grant program of the New York State Council on the Arts. The deadline for submissions is Tuesday, Oct. 4. “At the core of ArtsWestchester’s mission is making arts accessible to people of all communities, backgrounds, income brackets and age ranges throughout Westchester County. Arts Alive Grants make this possible and engage people who may not have the opportunity to participate in the arts,” said ArtsWestchester CEO Janet Langsam. Projects supported in 2016 included student writing workshops, affordable live jazz concerts, free ethnic arts festivals, a series of clay sculptures and a staged reading at Paramount Hudson Valley. ArtsWestchester has scheduled pre-application workshops throughout Westchester to assist potential applicants with the process.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Delegate sales duties to help business, and employees, grow and prosper We don’t think the better customers trust anyone in our company but us. It’s our fault. We’ve created our own problem. Few of our employees deal with clients. We wanted to be sure customers could get the answers they needed right from the horse’s mouth — us. We also wanted to be sure that customers wouldn’t follow a departing employee. And, of course, no one can do pricing except us. But now we’re bogged down. We’re not growing the way we used to. And we can’t take time off the way we’d like.

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Sales, like every other part of the business, benefits from a team approach. Practice by working together to accomplish group goals. Train employees to handle prospects and customers correctly. Build a team and the business thrives. Nowhere in business is that more true than in sales. It’s time you learn how to achieve results through the efforts of others. Like most business owners, you probably don’t have the money to go out and buy an experienced team of sales professionals. That’s OK. Look at the talent that you already have in place throughout the company. See what you can do to develop it. Who handles customer questions when you’re not around? Who gets customers

what they need? Who takes calls when you’re out of the office? Who delivers what it takes to make customers rave about your product or service? Who follows up to make sure customers are satisfied? Make a list of people who can contribute more to sales efforts. Identify employees who are good at communicating, who can ask questions and get answers. Look for leaders who understand that the customer comes first. Seek out problem-solvers. Form a team and challenge the group to figure out how to integrate more people into the process of meeting prospect and customer needs. Lay out a clear set of goals. How many connections does it take to get introduced to a potential buyer? How many potential

buyers does it take to get to the proposal, negotiation and close? How often do current customers reorder? How many brand new customers will you need in the coming year? Add room for error to your estimates. Ask the team to go to work figuring out how to hit the goals. Map out a playbook — the steps to go through and the tools to use to get and keep a client. Teach people how to perform specific steps in the playbook. Ask team members to observe and support each other, as the whole team learns how to perform parts of the sales function. Make a list of things that your best customers want and need, and share that with the team so they’ll know how to recognize a good prospect. Write out how to answer questions that lead prospects to conclude that your company is the best solution. Let employees’ passion for the business shine through in conversations they have with prospects about what they do, and why they do it. Look for tools that help the team to communicate, plan and replicate. Get some kind of customer relationship management (CRM) system. Build, store and share templates. Find a database that you can tap into. Hold regular meetings. Track and post results so all can see.

Don’t be afraid of trial and error. Instead, use it to your advantage. Ask your new team to work on figuring out the best intro letter, the best follow-up strategy, the optimum number of connects, the right way to close. Encourage them to experiment and take ownership of the various phases of the sales process. Keep your eye on the ball by setting some goals for yourself. What happens when employees work together to improve client profitability? What does increased sales mean in terms of your financial wellbeing? What would you do with an extra week or month of vacation, which you could take if you had backup in sales?

Multitaskers, CEOs: Beware of email fraud

mail fraud, or intentional deception via email for personal gain or to damage a corporation, continues to be a difficult problem for area business. Statistically, the most successful email fraud sites have a 45 percent conversion rate at getting people to turn over information. Scams earn big paydays for cyber crooks because email is an inexpensive vehicle for

fraud. This year the FBI reported $1.2 billion in losses due to business email scams. Business email fraud attempts are highly sophisticated, well-researched attacks designed to trick well- meaning employees. The ploys work in part because employees are helpful by nature and the individual engaging your employee will often be seeking assistance in a hurry. Innate curiosity is another reason the

employee fails to recognize these tricks. The fraud perpetrator crafts an email that entices employees to click malicious links. Multitaskers beware: Email fraud works against those employees not fully attending to the task at hand. Email fraud has many varieties, but the big payoffs typically happen through CEO schemes. CEO email fraud is an attack vector where cyber criminals spoof or hijack the email account of C-level. The hacker gains entry to the corporate email system and watches how employees typically communicate. Spoofed emails are then sent using first names or nicknames and closely resemble a typical email between employees. Commonly the spoof happens while the executive is travelling and the target employee is tasked to wire-transfer large sums of money. The emails appear legitimate with wire instructions closely resembling typical instructions the company would expect to receive. Once transferred, there are few ways for banks to recover lost funds. Emails used to deliver malicious code or “phishing” typically contain a link. Phishing emails appear to be sent by legitimate companies that the employee has communicated with in the past. The difference is that the emails come unexpectedly and require the employee click a link. By clicking the infected link, employees unknowingly release malware like ransomware

onto their workstation. Given enough time, the workstation and network drives can be encrypted, holding valuable data hostage. Companies have to then pay a ransom or restore data from a backup device. These types of interruptions cause loss of revenue and productivity. Traditional network security steps including firewalls, anti-virus software and email spam filters are a good start to protecting your business. However, many businesses falsely believe these methods are enough. Building a strong security culture among your staff and employee training are likely your best weapons against email fraud. Alert employees who understand the threat and security procedures like two-step authentication are key methods to protect your business. Routine staff training to discuss what to avoid and how employees are to respond to a fraudulent attempt keep security top of mind. The old adage “the best defense is a good offense” could be the way to save your company big bucks. Nancy Haddad is director of sales and marketing for U.S. Computer Connection, a Stamford company providing IT support to businesses and free webinar training for employees to learn better network security. She can be reached at 203- 517-4692 or NHaddad@uscomputer.com.

Westfair panel will address government’s role in business BY DANIELLE BRODY dbrody@westfairinc.com

ith election season underway, Westfair Communications, the Business Journal’s parent company, is hosting its first political panel, “Is Government Choking Business?” Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino and Walter Raquet, a Greenwichbased businessman and author, will discuss government’s role in business at a breakfast Sept. 27 in the Fordham School of Professional and Continuing Studies at 400 Westchester Ave. in Harrison. Westfair Publisher Dee DelBello, who conceptualized the event, said, “I can’t escape the long background I have had in government and business. That’s why I’m passionate about this program because I believe that these sectors must work together to achieve equity for the taxpayer and stability for our economy. I thank our par-

ticipants who will bring a forceful dialogue to the program.” The CEO of Green Earth Technologies Inc. in Greenwich, Raquet this year authored “Government is Killing the Economy” and a subsequent column published in the Business Journals, “A Modest Proposal to Reform the U.S. Government.” In these writings, he outlines his ideas on the impact of regulation and his thesis that the federal government should be run like a business with a board of directors. Raquet has worked in the financial sector, where, according to his biography, he uncovered the largest tax fraud in U.S. history, created the first sophisticated equity trading system and was a corporate comptroller on Wall Street. A Republican, Astorino has served as county executive since 2010 and won election to a second term in 2013 with a continued emphasis on protecting taxpayers, preserving essential public services and promoting economic growth. He previously was a councilman on the Mount

In 2014 he was the Republican Party’s candidate for governor, when he was defeated by another Westchester resident, Democratic incumbent Andrew Cuomo. Astorino had a long career in the radio industry before his upset defeat of incumbent Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano in 2009. Bob Berkowitz, founding correspondent for CNN, will moderate the event.

Berkowitz has reported for ABC News, NBC, CNBC and the Associated Press. He is the recipient of the Overseas Press Club award and the Freedom Foundation award for journalism.

Get more targeted Facebook likes using these seven weird tricks

ow do you get more targeted Facebook likes? We’ve been very fortunate in that my Michael Guberti Public Figure page has over 10,000 Facebook likes. Our corresponding page, Teenager Entrepreneur, has about 11,000. So, how can you do that? How do you grow your business so that it’s extremely likable in every sense of the word and then you take those individuals who are fans of your page, send them to your website and begin the e-commerce conversion process? That’s what we’re going to cover. 1. Invite Your friends It’s so easy to do; there is even a section on your page where Facebook encourages you to go through your list of contact to invite. You could be sitting on hundreds of likes from people already in your network. What are you waiting on? That’s an excellent way to leverage what you already have. Increasing your likes doesn’t have to be this mystery that everybody thinks it is, or cost you inordinate amounts of money. 2. Create Inspiring Shareable Posts

Nothing will ignite the human spirit more than something that inspires them to be a better person or create a better business. It’s time for you sit to down and ask, “What would inspire my audience today?” The answers to that question become your content. 3. Write Your Business Overview Take the time to type out your company overview. Facebook will ask you for a short and long explanation of your business. Facebook commits your descriptions to memory and the next time somebody goes into their search bar and looks for your field, your page can come up. 4. Ask your Employees to Help You Out They’re your best brand ambassadors, and they’re within the walls of your business if you’re a brick-and-mortar or similar business. Tap their knowledge and inspiration. 5. Add a Call to Action in your Messaging You might say, “Like us on Facebook.” That’s very acceptable. You could say “Review us on Facebook” although that will be more for seasoned customers rather than new timers. But you understand the psychology behind the strategy: you have to ask. You have to tell people what to do, give them some direction in an increasingly distracted world.

6. Measure Your Performance You have to measure your activity’s effectiveness, see where you are and put a strategy in place for 30 to 90 days. Check which posts get the most likes. They are an indicator of what theme you should build your future content around. I know individuals who see that a piece of content is performing well, and then just re-post it with a slight tweak three weeks later. It worked before; it’ll work again. What you measure, you can master. I want you to become a master of this. If you want to become the most-liked person or brand in your industry, state or country, we’re going to have to get the big guns out and learn how to soar with Facebook Advertising. 7. Utilize The World’s Most Powerful Online Advertising Platform The most sophisticated online advertising platform in the world belongs to Facebook. No one does it better. Google AdWords was the king. However, if they were to race metaphorically in this year’s Olympics, they’d get silver. Mark Zuckerberg’s brainchild would grab the gold. Right now, I can target Westchester men between the age of 45 and 55, making

$100,000 or more, married with two kids, who purchased high-end mountain bikes in the past two years. Show the person an ad for 20 percent off new high-end bike spokes, nurture him through email follow-ups and you have a sale. Specificity is power. You have the most laser targeted demographics and psychographics (how your customer thinks, what religion they believe in, what they’ve purchased before) at your fingertips. Create a Likes campaign, choose targeted interests similar to your business, split test the effectiveness of six images against each other, find the winning picture and scale the ad spend. Done. You make a sale if a person knows, likes and trusts you. You can now literally measure the second metric. Gaining likes is the first step in the customer relationshipbuilding process, one that can create passive, recurring income for you via consistent implementation and improvement. All the customers you ever wanted are a few clicks away. Put these steps into play and you’ll find that you’re indeed very likable.

BY PAUL ANDERSON-WINCHELL

Doing good in your community is good for business

f you’re a business owner, you need more than a great product and excellent service to succeed today. Your customers also want to know what you’re doing to make a difference in your community. Reportedly, 55 percent of customers spend more with companies that demonstrate they care about their communities and 90 percent say they would switch to a product or service associated with a good cause if both were of similar price and quality. Given those statistics, it’s not surprising that socially conscious companies have outperformed the market by fivefold over the past 10 years. Businesses used to consider corporate social responsibility — CSR — as optional. However, it’s now “emphatically and indisputably a must-do,” according to a recent report by Cone Communications and Echo Research. If you want to win over today’s consumers, and keep them, the key is giving back. What exactly is CSR? It can be many things — assisting local nonprofits in providing services to individuals in need, creating a cleaner environment, funding research to cure disease or any other activity that drives social or environmental change. We’re all familiar with companies who have taken on highly visible CSR initiatives. One of the best known is Toms, which donates one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair of shoes it sells and whose homepage encourages visitors to “do good and inspire others.” CVS Caremark is another. Last year they created a lot of buzz with the announcement that they would cease selling cigarettes and tobacco because they felt that promoting public health was the right thing for the national pharmacy to do. The company hopes to build trust and loyalty among customers by demonstrating just how much it values keeping the community healthy. However, CSR efforts don’t need to be huge to be effective. Here in Westchester, Cambria Hotel and Suites in White Plains is a business that has fully embraced the CSR mentality. Supporting the cause of assisting Westchester’s homeless individuals, they have partnered with Lifting Up Westchester to assist homeless men at the agency’s Open

Arms Men’s Shelter. Cambria Suites has committed to a six-month “donate and serve” program in which employees and guests contribute to a monthly food drive, followed by an evening in which Cambria Suites volunteers serve dinner at the shelter. The program has had a tremendous impact on their employees. Additionally, Cambria Suites opens its lobby to homeless individuals seeking warmth during the winter, and then provides a shuttle service to bring them to Open Arms where they can get an emergency bed, meals and counseling. Cambria Suites also supports Lifting Up Westchester by making a donation to its annual fundraising dinner, which helps with fundraising critical to the nonprofit. These companies are onto something. According to the Cone study, after learning that a company is socially and/or environmentally responsible, 90 percent of consumers are more likely to trust the company and 88 percent say they will be more loyal to its products or services. While consumers across the board want companies to be socially conscious, millennials are the most passionate about it. They are the first generation to have grown up alongside CSR and it’s what they now expect. Not only do millennials personally want to get involved and contribute to the greater good, they want the businesses they deal with to keep in step. Soon to be the largest consumer spending group in history, the millennial voice is one to be reckoned with. Already 80 million strong, millennials will account for $1 trillion of consumer spending this year. When 83 percent of millennials say that businesses should be involved in societal issues and more than one in 10 say they would switch to a product or service provided by a company that is associated with a cause, it behooves companies to listen. Millennial employees are also looking for workplaces that care about more than their bottom line. Sixty-two percent say they would even be willing to take a pay cut to work for a socially responsible company. What all of this means is that if social commitment isn’t already part of your business plan, it’s time for a change. Putting a CSR plan into action can be a great team builder if you involve your employees in brainstorming about what cause and nonprofit your company will support and about creative ways to help. The key to a successful CSR program is to avoid one-time volunteer efforts that may seem self-promoting. It’s also wise to focus on a core cause rather than spreading your CSR initiatives across several unrelated issues. Ideally, your core cause should be something related to your business or your passion. For example, businesses in the food

industry could focus on financial donations and volunteer efforts to help feed the 200,000 Westchester residents who are at risk of hunger. Owners of downtown businesses might think about supporting homeless outreach efforts that help shelter and rehabilitate homeless individuals, giving them a better life — and keeping them out of downtown doorways. There are many ways to give back to the community. Money is every nonprofit’s biggest need so making a financial donation, which can be put to work immediately to fund research, provide meals or clean up the environment, is always a good start. Committing to a recurring donation, whether it’s monthly, quarterly or semiannually, can help nonprofits to plan better for the future. Volunteer projects or the donation of a pro bono service is another good way to help. For example, a bank could support the cause of lifting kids from poverty by providing a series of financial workshops to at-risk kids in an after-school program and helping older students with college financial aid applications. Some companies provide full pay to employees who spend a day or two volunteering in the community during work hours or organize a companywide day or afternoon of service. However, it’s important to remember that many nonprofit agencies cannot handle a large group of volunteers at one time. Although your offer to provide 20 volunteers may be well-meaning, it can be more of a headache than a help. It’s far better to send four to six employee volunteers at a time and to spread your efforts over several afternoons doing something

like helping at a community garden or reading to young children. Finally, corporate fundraisers can help boost employee morale and foster team building as employees work together or even compete as groups towards a common goal. In celebration of National Nurses Week in May, employees at White Plains Hospital raised almost $9,000, enough to send 17 homeless children to Lifting Up Westchester’s Brighter Futures Summer Camp. Their efforts included an online appeal to hospital staff, a bake sale and continuous email updates and challenges urging staff to exceed the initial goal of providing five camp scholarships. Whatever CSR initiative you decide is right for your company and your employees, it’s important to put it on your website and shout it out across multiple media channels including social media. Consumers want to know what core cause and nonprofit you are supporting, and what kind of impact you and the charity are having. They want to hear your stories, feel an emotional connection to them and be proud of doing with business with you. If they’re millennials, they’ll also want to share those stories with friends and families. In the end, what’s good for the community, and particularly the one in which you work and live, will be good for your business too.

tion” parts of their stories, the parts they usually leave out because they’re too painful or embarrassing.

“We are very proud of the Simon Youth Scholarships program, because it has given us the opportunity to support the academic endeavors of promising youth right here in our community,” said Briana Puncar, director of marketing and business development for The Shops at Nanuet. Simon Youth Scholarships are awarded annually to at least one student in every U.S. community that is home to a Simon property. This year, approximately $1.3 million will be awarded. “Simon Youth Community Scholarships reward academic excellence across the country and help students to continue their education,” said J. Michael Durnil, president and CEO of SYF. “Financial concerns should never be the reason preventing a child from pursuing their dreams.”

PEDIATRIC CENTER HOLDS BEAM SIGNING CEREMONY The Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center in Yonkers held a celebratory signing of the last steel beam to be installed in its 32-bed ventilator expansion project that began in March. Residents of the pediatric center, staff and board members from across Seton’s entire continuum of care, the John A. Coleman School and the Children’s Rehabilitation Center, took part in leaving their mark on the beam. “The enthusiasm during this event was palpable,” said Nancy Bullock, chief operating officer. “We are so very

proud of this project and the immense impact that it will soon have on the lives of ventilator-dependent children and their families here in New York.” The pediatric center was the first in New York state to develop a long-term program for children who are dependent on ventilators and has spent a decade honing the practice to set the standard for how this care should be delivered. The Elizabeth Seton center now is able to care for 18 ventilator-dependent and will be the largest provider of pediatric ventilator care in the state when the expansion is complete.

PURCHASE COLLEGE WELCOMES ACCLAIMED POET

Claudia Rankine

SUNY Purchase College has announced that Claudia Rankine, the critically acclaimed and best-selling poet, will be the college’s 2016-17 Roy and Shirley Durst Distinguished Chair in Literature. In this position, Rankine will present numerous programs throughout the academic year, including readings and workshops. The author of five collections of poetry, Rankine is the Frederick Iseman Professor of Poetry at Yale University. Her most recent book, “Citizen: An American Lyric,” won the National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry for 2014, the PEN Open Book Award, the NAACP Image Award, and the LA Times Book Award for poetry.

Rankine will launch the series from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept.22, with a reading and conversation. The program is free and open to the public and in the Humanities Theater at the College at 735 Anderson Hill Road. “Rankine’s is a voice that is desperately needed right now — a need that explains how “Citizen,” a difficult book about difficult issues, has made it to The New York Times bestseller list and become a touchstone for Black Lives Matter,” said Anthony Domestico, assistant professor of literature at Purchase College. “I can’t wait to see how she challenges and changes the conversation about race and America at Purchase.”

EMPIRE CITY WENT ORANGE FOR HUNGER ACTION MONTH

◀◀ Last year’s lighting at Empire City Casino.

For the third year in a row, Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway joined several New York City landmarks, including the Empire State Building and the Helmsley Building, to raise awareness

during this Hunger Action Month for the nearly 50 million Americans impacted by hunger. Throughout September, these facilities will light their buildings orange in support

of hunger awareness. Empire City Casino also doubled down on the Go Orange campaign by lighting its exterior and porte cochere lights on two nights, Sept. 7 and Sept. 8.

BACK TO SCHOOL WITH BACKPACKS Recently 75 local children enjoyed a pizza party — donated by Cassin and Cassin LLP in Purchase — and received school supplies and backpacks thanks to the White Plains YMCA OPERATION BACKPACK initiative. White Plains YMCA Resident Director Devin Johnson and Associate Executive Director Heather Bell organized the drive. “We learned from the White Plains Housing Authority about the harsh realities for many families struggling to provide for their children,” said Bell. “Sometimes it is a choice between food

and school supplies. “ Johnson said Berkeley College “has been a real partner sending over volun-

teers and helping to subsidize the cost of whatever we were unable to collect through our drive.”

BEN’S KOSHER DELICATESSEN RESTAURANT AND CATERERS HOLDS SECOND ANNUAL “CANCER AIN’T KOSHER” FUNDRAISER During the month of October — National Breast Cancer Awareness Month — customers who order Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers’ matzo ball soup will have the opportunity to upgrade to a pink matzo ball for an additional $1 charge through the company’s Second Annual “Cancer Ain’t Kosher” Fundraiser. All proceeds will be donated

to The Angel Fund for beast cancer research at Winthrop University Hospital’s Breast Health Center. Last year, more than 1,300 pink matzo balls were sold and Ben’s this year aims to double that number. These efforts will be further supported through a friendly in-store competition in which each Ben’s restaurant throughout New York, includ-

ing Scarsdale, and in Boca Raton, Florida, will vie for the winning title of “Most Pink Matzo Balls Sold.” As all Ben’s locations will be closed for Rosh Hashanah, the promotion will begin Thursday, Oct 6. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, the disease affects one out of every eight women in their lifetime.
