icking off what is expected to be a lengthy project review by village officials and Port Chester residents, Starwood Capital Group has submitted a draft environmental impact statement for its roughly $300 million mixed-use redevelopment of the former United Hospital site on Boston Post Road.

First presented to Port Chester officials last spring, the Greenwich company’s proposal includes 500 apartment units targeted for young professionals and 230 units restricted by age to seniors, 90,000 square-feet of

A PLANNED MEDICAL OFFICE AND ambulatory surgery building on the Westchester Medical Center campus has been stalled for several months by a lawsuit filed by Mount Pleasant town officials seeking to make the hospital’s project subject to town zoning and review.

Westchester Medical Center officials claimed the nearly $200 million construction project, which would add a seven-story, 260,000-square foot ambulatory care pavilion directly connected to the main hospital, is not subject to town zoning regulations and does not require town approvals and permits.

Hearings set on pipeline expansion

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

RESIDENTS WILL HAVE TWO CHANCES this month to comment on a plan that would expand a natural gas pipeline running through the region, even as ultimate approval seems imminent.

The state Department of Environmental Conservation will hold public hearings in

Southeast and Brewster on Jan. 21 and 22, respectively, to discuss the proposed expansion of a portion of the Algonquin Gas Transmission pipeline from 26-inch diameter pipes to 42-inch diameter pipes. The project would require modifications to compressor stations in Buchanan, Southeast and Brewster.

Susan Van Dolsen, a member of the group Stop the Algonquin Pipeline Expansion, or

SAPE, said its members will focus on how emissions from the compressor stations could affect public health and air quality. The group also continues to oppose separate federal approvals and is looking for commitments from federal lawmakers to require more safety analyses before the hoped-for groundbreaking in March.

Women’s Leadership Institute looks to level the playing field

BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com

W

hile having coffee with Anthony Davidson, the dean of the business school at Manhattanville College in early 2014, Kathy Meany discussed the topic that she had built her career on: the professional development of women.

Meany pointed out to Davidson that women were still on unequal footing with men in the business world, but they were in a unique position to make changes. Just over a year later, the result of that conversation will be fully realized this month when Manhattanville opens the Women’s Leadership Institute, which is sponsored by the business school.

“Women still face issues in managing personal and career goals in the corporate environment,” said Meany, who launched her own company, Phoenix Learning Solutions LLC, after a long career in corporate training.

Meany, who is the institute’s director, said “Because women often take on a nurturing role, they can be unsure of how to act effectively in positions of power at work.”

Literature on the institute provided by Meany said that the vision is to “provide any woman with the skills and resources to succeed, and a place where women collaborate to define, create and expand leadership opportunities by taking ownership and developing executive presence.”

A community initiative by design, the institute will target working professional women from both entrepreneurship and corporate environments with the aim of helping them build professional skills aimed at advancing their careers. The institute’s programming will kick off with an open house Jan. 29 that will feature a networking session and guest speakers.

“The guest speakers are all quite accomplished women,” Meany told the Business Journal. The speakers, she said, “want the

focus to be on the institute, and so we aren’t advertising the speakers at their request.”

On April 14, the institute will host a panel discussion, and on June 3 it will host a daylong women’s conference featuring workshops, speakers, a panel discussion and networking activities all aimed at improving business-related skills for women. Meany

said that women’s business careers often suffer from a combination of stereotyping and skill deficiencies. Those skill deficiencies are something Meany hopes the workshops at the institute will help to correct.

“The workshops will all be centered around professional development and helping to build skills such as personal branding, executive presence, negotiation and financial business acumen. Many times, women aren’t exposed to these topics,” Meany said, who used communications as one example.

“It’s not that we want to think or talk like a man; we have to. But a woman can speak the same sentence a man does, and it has a totally different meaning.”

According to a report released by the American Association of University Women in September, an American woman working full time makes 78 cents for every dollar made by a man. This pay gap extends to every state and nearly every profession, though it differs from state to state and field to field.

Fifty-one years after President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act of 1963, an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act intended to abolish gender-based wage disparity, Meany hopes that the Women’s Leadership Institute will continue to narrow the gender pay gap.

“While we’ve been somewhat successful, it’s still a struggle,” Meany said. “Even though women are now very well-educated and salaries have improved, it’s still not ‘apples-to-apples.’”

Concerns raised over private Playland operator

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO

D

mlungariello@westfairinc.com

eirdre Curran said the flags at Playland would have been flown at half staff last weekend if not for Westchester County’s deal with a private operator to run the ice skating rink there.

Former Gov. Mario Cuomo died Jan. 1, but the flags were not lowered at county-owned Playland until the following Monday, Jan.5. With a private operator now running the rink for its first winter, and with the amusement park closed for the season, no county workers were on site over the weekend.

Curran, a member of the freshly minted advocacy nonprofit The Friends of Playland, said the flags flying at full height was just a visible example of how a private management deal affects the park. She said she spoke with an employee at the rink who said there was no manager on duty for the weekend.

“That’s a big building,” Curran told county lawmakers at their Jan. 5 meeting.

“We just spent a ton of money fixing it and we’re leaving it in the hands of teenagers the two busiest days of the week, all winter long, and that’s because of the private management contract.”

Mark Zito works as general manager at the Playland ice rink for American Skating Entertainment Centers LLC, a company that runs 15 rinks around the country including one in Elmsford where the company is headquartered. It was the county and not the company that would raise or lower flags, Zito said. He also said the company always had a manager on site.

“There’s one general manager and that is me and of course I’m not here 24/7 but there are managers on duty in my absence,” he said. Although county workers aren’t in the park on weekends throughout the winter, Zito said they are available by cellphone around the clock if needed. He said Westchester has been responsive and helpful, particularly in the transition period.

American just took over management

of the rink, which was temporarily closed after sustaining daamge from Hurricane Sandy. Westchester spent $4.5 million to reopen the park and handed over the operations to American last year, in a 10-year deal that requires the company invest $640,000 in capital improvements and upwards of $250,000 annually for the life of the contract.

Zito said the company had undertaken improvements such as removing barriers from the ticket office so that customers deal with representatives faceto-face rather than through a window. “I think you’ll find wonderful experiences for our customers here,” he said.

When Curran expressed her concerns over the flag, she said the incident should serve as a cautionary tale as county lawmakers ponder whether to hand over day-to-day management of the amusement park to a private operator. Curran noted that 2015 is an election year for Westchester legislators and she said she hoped that wouldn’t mean they would enter a deal quickly before elections and

in doing so forego proper vetting and transition periods.

Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino came into office in 2010, soliciting proposals to reimagine Playland.

In 2012, Astorino chose nonprofit Sustainable Playland Inc. to run the park but that deal collapsed last spring. Two other groups, Standard Amusements Inc. and Central Amusement International Inc., the latter of which runs Coney Island’s Luna Park, are now making their pitches to run Playland.

The county executive has deferred making a decision on whether to sign on with one of those operators or take other action until a report is completed by Manhattan-based Biederman Redevelopment Corp. The company will be paid $100,000 for an analysis of Playland operations that will include recommendations on how to improve the park.

That report was due at the end of November, but hasn’t yet been filed with the county.

SIGNATURE BANK NAMED BEST IN AMERICA

INBRIEF DUTCHESS EDC CHIEF WILL STEP DOWN Dutchess County Economic Development Corp. President and CEO Catherine Maloney has announced she will resign from the post in April.

Maloney joined the economic development agency in 2008 as director of business development and was promoted to interim president and CEO in January 2012. Her position was made permanent in April that year.

Dutchess County EDC board Chairman Edward A. Kellogg in the announcement of her resignation said Maloney “has provided excellent leadership and professionalism for the DCEDC, and leaves us in a strong position financially and organizationally.”

Maloney said she plans to pursue “an entirely new direction in my career. It has been an honor to serve the individuals and businesses of Dutchess County through some difficult times.”

The governance committee of the agency’s board of directors is discussing next steps for the ongoing leadership of the organization, according to the announcement.

Citing a long record of strong earnings and high-asset performance, Forbes put Signature Bank atop its annual “America’s Best and Worst Banks” list.

Signature Bank, which has branches in New Rochelle and White Plains and about 30 locations in the New York metropolitan area, has nearly $26 billion in assets and a market capitalization of approximately $6.09 billion. Privately held businesses and their owners and managers form Signature’s core clientele. The bank also provides investment, insurance, brokerage and wealth management services as well as equipment financing through two subsidiaries.

“Signature has racked up an impressive financial performance. It has posted 20 straight quarters of record earnings,” wrote Forbes reporter Kurt Badenhausen in the Dec. 22 article, which utilized data from SNL Financial to rank the 100 biggest banks by assets in terms of asset quality, capital adequacy and profitability.

Badenhausen noted that Signature Bank’s revenue grew 21 percent in the past year and that its 13.8 percent return on average equity, a measure of profitability over the past 12 months, was fifth among the nation’s 100 largest banks.

Signature also ranked in the top five among the 100 banks ranked by Forbes for nonperforming assets as a percent of total assets (0.1 percent), nonperforming loans as a percent of total loans (0.15 percent) and reserves as a percent of nonperforming loans (634 percent). A nonperforming loan is defined as a loan upon which the debtor has not made scheduled payments for 90 or more days.

“Our client-centric team philosophy has been at the core of our business model since the bank’s inception in 2001, resulting in 20 consecutive quarters of record earnings and consistently setting deposit and loan growth records,” said Joseph J. DePaolo, the president and CEO of Signature Bank, in a press release. “We attribute our fifth consecutive top-10 finish on the Forbes list of America’s Best Banks to our ability to attract some of the industry’s most experienced relationship bankers who bring an unwavering commitment to our clients.”

BUSINESS COUNCIL ELECTS NEW DIRECTORS The Business Council of Westchester has elected seven new members to its board of directors, which will be headed in 2015 by a new chairman, Anthony Justic, serving a two-year term.

New Business Council directors are Bill Boyce, vice president of sales and business operations for the Westchester Knicks; Mercedes Eggleton-Garcia, vice president of global community relations for MasterCard Inc.; John Ravitz, the Business Council’s executive vice president and chief operating officer; Joseph A. Saccomano Jr., office managing shareholder of the White Plains and Albany offices of Jackson Lewis PC; Jon B. Schandler, CEO of White Plains Hospital; James D. Schutzer, vice president at J.D. Moschitto & Associates; and Anthony T. Viceroy, president of Westmed Practice Partners and chief financial officer of Westmed Medical Group.

The organization’s new board chairman, Justic, is a certified public accountant and partner with Maier, Markey & Justic LLP, a White Plains-based firm that advises businesses with revenues ranging from $1 million to $75 million. Business Council officials said he has been instrumental in the company’s growth from three employees to 90 employees since joining the firm in 1987.

The Business Council also announced that Glenn Pacchiana, president and CEO of Thalle Industries and a Business Council director, has been appointed to the group’s executive committee.

boutique street-level retail and restaurants, a 135-room hotel and 217,000 square feet of office space with a portion designated for wellness-related use.

The development would include about 1,345 parking spaces and nearly an acre of publicly accessible open space.

Starwood Capital, a private investment firm in the global real estate market that manages more than $38 billion in assets, paid $28 million in bidding in 2006 to acquire the 15-acre property after United Hospital declared bankruptcy and closed in 2005.

push for that to be delayed or more studies to be done before we move forward,” she said. “We feel have a lot of issues that are still unresolved and need to be addressed.”

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, has ultimate approval of the expansion. FERC issued a draft environmental impact statement in August 2013 that was favorable to Texas-based Spectra Energy Partners LP, which owns the pipeline.

The company said expanding the pipeline, which runs through New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, would address energy needs in the Northeast.

“The (Algonquin) project is the most immediate solution for the region and would have an immediate impact on prices,” Marylee Hanley, Spectra’s director of stakeholder outreach, said in a recent interview. She also said the existing pipeline has been operated for 60 years without incident.

FERC is expected to file a final environmental impact statement in the coming weeks, unless the agency heeds the concerns of opposition groups that want more studies conducted.

The expansion would include the construction of 37.4 miles of pipeline from Rockland County through Westchester and Putnam into Connecticut. Seventy-nine percent of the proposed route of the pipeline would be within or near existing rights of way properties, according to the company’s applications with the DEC. The New York stretch of the expansion will include 15.7 miles of replacement pipes and 2.9 miles of new pipes that will cross under the Hudson River for slightly less

at an important access point to the village.”

The Port Chester board of trustees will review the draft environmental report and schedule public hearings and a public comment period on the developer’s proposal.

Port Chester Mayor Neil Pagano last spring estimated the environmental review process would take 18 months and extend to the end of 2015 before any construction could begin.

Barry Sternlicht, chairman and CEO of Starwood Capital, in a press release said, “We’re confident that, through the constructive efforts of all interested parties, the public review process will result in a project that the village and the surrounding communities will embrace. This project has been an eyesore for too long and it’s time to agree on a resolution and put this project on the tax rolls.”

than 1 mile. Opposition groups have said the expanded capacity poses an environmental and safety threat. The pipeline runs near Indian Point Energy Center, the Buchanan nuclear power facility.

Despite the plant’s owner, Entergy Corp., and the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s stance that the expansion would not pose an increased safety risk, a November report by the Redmond, Wash.based Accufacts Inc. called the analysis of risks “deficient.”

Accufacts was retained by the town of Cortlandt, where Spectra is planning to run new pipes through the area and Westchester County-owned parkland.

“While Accufacts can appreciate attempts to keep certain information of such an important safety analysis somewhat secret,” the report states, “much more detailed effort is needed to assure the public that prudent and complete safety analysis efforts have been performed in choosing possible pipeline options in this location.”

The state is considering permits due to wetlands disturbances for the project and for the work to the compressor stations. Groups like SAPE are hoping New York’s recent ban of hydraulic fracturing shows the state will be receptive to considering potential safety and health effects. In the meantime, the group is prepared to host rallies and protests to bolster the movement to delay or stop the federal permits as well.

The Jan. 21 public hearing will be at the Brewster Central School Performing Arts Center, 50 Foggintown Road, and the Jan. 22 hearing will be held at the Stony Point Community Center, 5 Clubhouse Lane. Both hearings will begin at 6 p.m. Those wishing to comment can submit written comments to the DEC after the hearings, until Feb. 13.

The former United Hospital in Port Chester.

Corp., the public benefit corporation that operates the medical center on countyowned land in Valhalla, in a counterclaim filed in state Supreme Court in White Plains invoked a “balancing of public interests” test established by state case law when arguing that the health care project was exempt from town authority and scrutiny.

There has been no court action on the lawsuit since last August.

“As of yet, from what I understand, the case is still pending,” Mount Pleasant Town Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi said recently. “It’s unfortunate. We would like to work with them to get some resolution.”

A longtime town councilman, Fulgenzi was appointed supervisor last October following the resignation of Joan A. Maybury, who headed the town board when the lawsuit was filed last June.

The town brought its legal challenge after Westchester County Health Care Corp. officials last May notified the town that the hospital was proceeding with the proposed project as the only agency involved in it.

Hospital officials withdrew a notice they had sent two weeks earlier to the town and 15 other interested agencies or parties that stated the hospital intended to act as lead agency in the required environmental review of the proposal.

Mount Pleasant officials claimed both the town board and the town planning board were eligible to serve as lead agency.

Westchester Medical Center officials at the same time declared the project would have no significant environmental impact, without preparing the voluminous envi-

ronmental impact statement required of most development projects of that size in Westchester. The hospital instead prepared a shorter environmental assessment form for the project, for which Fareri Associates LP in Greenwich has been selected as developer.

Mount Pleasant town attorney Darius P. Chafizadeh in the court complaint said the hospital was moving on the project without any “meaningful” review under the State Environmental Quality Review Act and attempting an “end-run” around the town zoning code and the state environmental review law.

Chafizadeh did not respond to requests for comment from the Business Journal.

“The town feels that because it’s a construction project in the town of Mount Pleasant,” said Fulgenzi, “the town has a right to review the project.”

WMC attorney Jordy Rabinowitz in court papers claimed the proposed project was exempt from town authority when a “balancing of public interests” test was applied to the dispute in Valhalla. He cited a 1988 ruling by the state Court of Appeals that sets certain factors to be weighed to determine whether local zoning laws apply “where a conflict arises between governmental entities.”

The hospital attorney claimed the coordination of health care services that the ambulatory care pavilion will bring to the Valhalla campus “is of such paramount importance that it completely overshadows all other factors” when weighing public interest. He also claimed the town’s application of local law will “deny or delay” the “important public interest served by the construction” of the facility.

A Westchester Medical Center spokesman did not respond to a request for comment at press time.

Pro-fracking group stages Southern Tier protest

BY MARK LUNGARIELLO mlungariello@westfairinc.com

A

ttorney Scott Kurkoski told a profracking crowd in downtown Binghamton that Gov. Andrew Cuomo shouldered the blame for economic stagnation in the Southern Tier.

“Who is Governor Cuomo kidding?” he said at a Jan. 5 protest at the Binghamton Holiday Inn. “He is denying our region the biggest opportunity we have seen in decades.”

The rally was organized by the group The Joint Landowners Coalition of New York Inc. in response to New York’s announcement in December that it will become the first state to ban hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the controversial method of using pressurized water, sand and chemicals to mine natural gas out of underground rock formations.

Thirty other states have made fracking legal and many in New York believed similarly legalizing fracking would create a new industry in financially distressed upstate regions that could use an influx of jobs and interest from gas companies in

purchasing local properties.

Kurkoski represented a Dryden landowner who unsuccessfully sued the municipality over a local fracking ban – under the contention that fracking was an industry that should be regulated by the state, not a town, village or city. Now the attorney and coalition president Dan Fitzsimmons are saying the state’s decision to ban fracking due to health concerns was based on what Fitzsimmons called “junk science.”

The fracking proponents are working with local municipalities to put a provision allowing fracking into their codes, with the hope th court’s decision against them will set a precedent that allows communities to decide for themselves if they do want fracking.

“Governor Cuomo is committed to taking our property rights, jobs and economic opportunities,” Fitzsimmons said, according to a press release from the group, which said that 600 people attended the protest including representatives of State Sen. Tom Libous and U.S. Rep. Tom Reed. The group’s attacks on Cuomo reached their height in an online graphic

announcing the protest that showed the governor’s face Photoshopped onto a dog defecating on a green strip of land marked “New York Southern Tier.”

The governor decided to ban largescale fracking on the recommendations of the state Department of Health, which had been studying the potential health effects for three years in a process that took place mostly out of the public eye.

Dr. Howard Zucker, acting commissioner of the department, made a presentation to Cuomo and members of his cabinet Dec. 17 in Albany.

“Would I let my child play in the school field nearby or my family drink the water from the tap or grow their vegetables in the soil?” Zucker said. “After looking at the plethora of reports … my answer is no.”

New York had held off on a fracking decision since 2008 and the administration of former Gov. David Paterson. Cuomo was sued in February by the coalition, which wanted the federal government to compel the state to complete its ongoing studies into potential health impacts. A judge dismissed the suit, but the case is

being appealed.

Two other recent fracking lawsuits were decided in favor of upstate communities that banned the mining method before the state announced its ban.

Dryden, in Tompkins County, was sued by an energy company looking to drill in the town. Middlefield, in Otsego County, was sued by a dairy farm that wanted to lease its land. The state appeals court upheld local rulings that allowed local prohibitions on where fracking would be allowed.

Twelve million acres, or 39 percent of the entire landmass of the state, sit above the gas-rich Marcellus Shale. About 63 percent of that overall acreage would have been ineligible for mining regardless of the ban due to proximity to watersheds and factors other than local prohibitions or bans, according to the state.

Fracking into the Marcellus has provided an economic boost over the border in Pennsylvania, pro-fracking groups say.

The New York State Petroleum Council claimed that $630 million has been pumped into the Pennsylvania economy through fracking since 2012.

Social media planning tips for 2015

new year is the perfect time to evaluate what marketing tactics worked well during the prior year and what areas could be improved. Among the many tactics to evaluate as part of this annual marketing audit is social media. Be it Facebook or Twitter, Instagram or Pinterest, it’s important to identify which channels are attracting the right audiences, engaging constituents in meaningful ways and positively impacting your business’ bottom line.

As you hone your social media marketing program for 2015, keep these tips topof-mind: • Quality should always trump quantity.

Feeding the ‘content beast’ isn’t easy. Social media is a living, breathing organism and doesn’t fair well when neglected. That said, opting to generate a high volume of content at the cost of quality isn’t prudent.

When building your monthly content calendar, be realistic about your marketing team’s bandwidth. Further, focus on content that is highly relevant to your target audience(s) and helps move prospects through the sales funnel, starting with awareness and ending with action. Be sure to generate content that speaks to audiences at various phases of the sales process, answers key questions and builds brand trust.

• Think visually. In December, photosharing platform Instagram officially surpassed Twitter’s 284 million active users, reaching 300 million active users. An active social community, Instagram users share a total of 70 million photos per day. While the platform’s user demographics may or may not align with your company’s target audience(s), Instagram is a testament to the power of using visuals to effectively communicate with online audiences. Whether you commit to building a photo library to enhance social media updates throughout the year, creating custom visuals to accompany blog posts or hosting a photo contest to engage your online audience, focus on using imagery to tell your company’s compelling story.

• Focus on integration. The most effective marketing programs strategically blend online and offline marketing to achieve measurable objectives. They help to achieve overall business goals and keep the company’s target audience in mind. When evaluating your social media successes and missteps from 2014, identify how integration among social media platforms — and other marketing channels — can help to optimize success. Perhaps you’re a commercial real estate broker and could use the photos of your

latest listing to enhance email marketing and make a blog post highlighting the property more compelling. Maybe you’re a small business exhibiting at an industry trade show and want to get more value out of your time at the show — think pre- and post-event blog posts, a series of Facebook factoids or Tweetworthy show takeaways.

• Be human. In recent months, many marketing trades have focused on the concept of ‘business-to-human’ marketing. While the terminology may be new, the concept is tried and true — be authentic and focus on your audience.

In a digital world, it’s easier than ever to automate online marketing. And, while this approach can save time and streamline processes, automation can come at the cost of human voice and interaction. It’s important to find ways to strike a balance between increasing efficiency and remaining authentic and interactive. If you opt to pre-schedule updates during peak seasons, or use automation tools to increase consistency of communications, be sure it doesn’t come at the cost of acknowledging and engaging your audiences. The bottom line: Relationships matter.

• Embrace the concept, not the medium. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to hear Peter Shankman present a social media workshop and one key takeaway remains a top priority today. As Shankman told his audience, it’s not about being successful on Twitter — it’s about being successful communicating in 140 characters. As social media platforms come and go, it’s important to take the ‘lessons learned’ with you and apply them to the next social media marketing channel.

If Twitter were to go away, it’s important to know how you can leverage short, succinct communications moving forward to engage audiences and drive conversion. Likewise, if Instagram were to go away at some point in the future, it’s important to know which visual marketing lessons you could apply to a new communication channel.

As the social media marketing landscape continues to evolve, it’s paramount to remain focused on the channels that generate the greatest return on investment. While some companies may define ROI as sales, others may define it as increased reach or bolstered engagement.

ASK ANDI

BY ANDI GRAY

Building cash on hand is essential There is not enough money going into the savings account for the company. I have backed myself into a corner by not paying attention to the books and recognizing things would be tight this month. How do I recover?

THOUGHTS OF THE DAY: Cash on hand is crucial for any business. There is a way to get the bank account built up to a level that’s healthy. Figuring out what each month’s cash demands will be helps you to plan out needs. Look for help from government programs to spread out the risk. Learn to live within your means by prioritizing what you want for an outcome.

Without cash on hand, too much time goes into juggling and not enough into planning. Think about what you could do with all of the free time you’d have if you didn’t have to manage cash so closely. A good rule of thumb is to have between three and six months of operating expenses in cash in the bank. The more cash your company has, the more likely your com-

pany can weather ups and downs, including customers delaying payment, vendor requests for prepayment and investments to grow the business.

It’s a process to build up cash on hand.

It doesn’t happen overnight. Start by figuring out a goal and a time frame — get one month of cash on hand within a year, for example.

Figure out how much money would need to be set aside each week in order to accomplish that goal. Compare the savings goal to the net income you expect the company to yield this year. Subtract any money you’ll have to pay for taxes and principal payments. What’s the outcome — positive or negative?

If the outcome is positive, your projections show there will be enough profit this year to put away one month of cash. Great!

Think about increasing the cash-on-hand goal.

A negative number means there’s probably not enough profit to support the goal.

Fix it now while it’s only a plan, while there’s still time. Review this year’s plan and consider boosting revenue or cutting

expenses to close the gap. Find a way to build up some cash on hand, no matter what.

Consider doing a weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual projection, so you can see the cash outcomes at various points throughout the year. Adjust the amount you plan to put away weekly, so that the calculation of profit minus principal payments, taxes and the amount to put toward cash on hand is zero or positive.

Once you decide on an amount to put into savings each week, set up a separate holding account in which to deposit those savings. Lock that account and throw away the key. Try not to use that cash on hand for anything, no matter how tempting.

Other than boosting revenue or cutting expenses, there is only one additional way to boost cash on hand. That’s by taking on debt. Does it seem counterintuitive to take on debt to boost cash? Not necessarily. Cash is king, and debt needs to be paid down slowly over time. Make sure that you can show a way to get over the hump, leading to sufficient profits to afford the debt service.

SPECIAL REPORT HOSPITALITY

Doc James rolls camaraderie, expertise into cigar lounge business

BY LEIF SKODNICK lskodnick@westfairinc.com

T

wo piles of leaves sat on the floor of a tobacco barn in Nicaragua waiting to be sold to cigar manufacturers.

After their purchase, the leaves would be shipped to factories where cigar makers would chop, cut, bind, press and wrap them to make the finished product — coronas, robustos, torpedoes and Churchills — that would find its way to cigar shops around the world.

Among those buying tobacco that day in 2012 were Josh DeSiena and his brother Adam, who have been in the cigar business in Westchester County since 1993.

In Shrub Oak, Adam runs the Doc James Tobacco Shop, first opened by Harold James in 1938, and 312 Cigar Club. In Mamaroneck, Josh opened Doc James Cigar Lounge in 2007 and five years later, converted a 19th century horse barn into the new lounge.

“I’m very proud of this place,” Josh DeSiena said over the front desk of his East Prospect Avenue shop, the sweet-yet-spicy aroma of the cigars hanging in the air.

“Myself, my father, my uncle, we built everything, designed everything and figured it out.”

On a Thursday afternoon, the first round of the weekly PGA Tour event was playing on two different screens — among the several nods to DeSiena’s past as a PGA professional at Doral Arrowwood in Rye Brook and other area courses.

In the lounge, patrons can rent a locker named for a famous golfer, golf course or professional athlete to store cigars. Customers are welcome to relax on the comfortable leather chairs while enjoying a cigar, or they can walk through the barn door and sit outside on the patio.

“My feel was, coming from the golf business, I worked mainly at public courses,” DeSiena said of how he appointed the interior of his cigar lounge. “I’ve always tried to provide the private club feeling at a public place, and if you’re a golfer, you know the difference.”

And there can be a big difference. But DeSiena noted that memberships are offered but not required. And while the upstairs of Doc James Cigar Lounge is generally

reserved for its 115 members, anyone is welcome to come in and enjoy a cigar.

“In here, you get a great bunch of guys,” DeSiena said of his patrons. “This is why cigars are what they are — there’s a great sense of camaraderie. Smoking a cigar is an event. You plan your day or your night around it.”

DeSiena said the atmosphere that makes Doc James Cigar Lounge a draw for customers is a combination of selection, expertise and experience.

“The best thing about cigars is that you smoke according to your mood or according to the time of day,” DeSiena said. “That’s going to determine if you have a medium cigar, a full-bodied cigar, a spicy cigar or a more earthy cigar.”

They’re contained inside a walk-in humidor, which holds such a vast selection of cigars that DeSiena couldn’t put a number on exactly how many there are.

“This is where we house all our goodies,” DeSiena said, waving an arm past shelves upon shelves of cigars, each handmade and

individually wrapped in cellophane and displayed in wooden boxes.

“I try to carry cigars that you can’t find at a lot of other places. I’m very picky about what I carry,” said DeSiena, who taste-tests everything that he sells and is one of less than 200 retailers in the United States that carry Davidoff cigars, one of the world’s premier brands. Davidoff cigars generally retail in the $15 to $60 range, although some varieties and vintages carry high premiums.

“We just got in a new La Flor Dominicana.

It’s called “Chapter Two,” which has a medium-to-full body,” DeSiena said. “Cigars have gotten much, much more complex. And that comes from the different tobaccos that cigar makers can get their hands on.”

DeSiena theorizes that a lull in the business in the past decade created a surplus of tobacco that has led to more diverse blending by cigar makers.

“Cuba has bottomed out. They never let their soil recover,” DeSiena said. The U.S. trade embargo, which was extended to cover all Cuban imports on Feb. 7, 1962, hasn’t

helped either. “They’re not the best in the world anymore.”

The best cigar tobaccos nowadays, despite popular misconceptions, come from Honduras, Nicaragua, Ecuador and Mexico, DeSiena said, which is why Josh and Adam were at that tobacco sale in Nicaragua.

“We’re trying to get into the distribution end” of the cigar business, DeSiena said, holding a DeSiena Corona that was made from the tobacco purchased on the brothers’ trip to Central America. “This just got rated a 92 in Smoke magazine. It’s all Nicaraguan, with a little touch of Colombian tobacco in it.”

And like a craft-brewed beer or small batch whiskey, the uniqueness of the flavor is what matters with a hand-rolled cigar.

“Nicaraguan tobacco has a bigger depth of flavor. There’s more complexities,” DeSiena said. “You’re going to get a little bit more body, but the flavor is certainly there.”

INBRIEF MANHATTAN CHILI CO. JOINS HV ALLIANCE The Hudson Valley Food & Beverage Alliance’s membership has gotten spicier with the addition of Manhattan Chili Co., which has a 46-seat restaurant in Pleasantville.

In addition to the restaurant in Pleasantville, which opened in May,

Manhattan Chili Co. opened a location in the Grand Central Terminal dining concourse in 2006. The first Manhattan Chili Co. restaurant was opened in the West Village in New York City by Bruce Sterman and Luba Pincus in 1984. The restaurants serve 12 varieties of chili and other Southwesterninspired dishes.

“We are delighted that our Pleasantville location has enabled us to join the Hudson Valley Food and Beverage Alliance,” the company said in a press release. “The challenge

now is to begin to step outside the commodity supply chain to become a Hudson Valley/New York state farm-to-table chain of ‘electric’ chili bars. We will initially do all the cooking in our Westchester restaurant/ commissary, and then subsequently build a USDA-approved manufacturing facility in the Hudson Valley.”

The Hudson Valley Food & Beverage Alliance is an industry cluster initiative of the Hudson Valley Economic Development Corp.

The alliance’s stated goal is to help food and

beverage companies in the region work together and market their products around the U.S. The organization includes food businesses, farmers, vegetable growers, beverage makers, distributors and other industry organizations.

A screenshot of the Newcastle Brown Ale ad.

The “Super Bowl” ad for White Plains-based Heineken USA’s Newcastle Brown Ale starring actress Anna Kendrick didn’t go as planned — the hypothetical ad was never actually produced, but frequently referenced in the online ad campaign for the English beer that came out around the time of last year’s big game.

“I was really excited to make a S(bleep) B(bleep) commercial with Newcastle,” Kendrick said deadpan into the camera in a two-minute advertisement that references the never-made Super Bowl ad. “Turns out, they don’t have the money or permission to make a S(bleep) B(bleep) commercial. They can’t even say S(bleep) B(bleep).”

Critics found the ad, which joked at the idea of Newcastle not being able to afford to produce a Super Bowl ad, to be a great concept, and Ad Week named the campaign, titled “If We Made It,” the top advertising campaign of 2014.

The Web video is a two-minute riff on topics from advertising to Kendrick’s own looks and career goals while she has her hair styled. It garnered more than 1 million impressions and was the top trending item on Facebook for two days after it first ran.

Other ads from the campaign include the ludicrous plot and hand-drawn storyboards for the unmade advertisement, an interview with former New York Jets receiver Keyshawn Johnson about his cameo in the not-produced spot, and focus group reactions to the ad’s concept. All of these spots, as well as the one featuring Anna Kendrick, can be viewed at ifwemadeit.com.

Heineken USA Inc. is a subsidiary of Heineken International BV. The company imports Heineken, Strongbow, Desperados, Amstel Light and Newcastle Brown Ale from Europe, and the Dos Equis, Tecate, Sol, Indio, Carta Blanca and Bohemia brands from Mexico.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress. You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. #59765
