Wage hike, labor benefit reforms in Cuomo budget BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

POWER TALK • 15

A 132-room hotel managed by NYLO Hotels is being proposed in Nyack.

Luxury hotel proposed in Nyack BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

The owners of a vacant manufacturing site on the edge of Nyack’s downtown are seeking tax exemptions to build a luxury boutique hotel with a steakhouse and conference

facilities. WY Management L.L.C. is working with Texas-based NYLO Hotels L.L.C. to build a 132-room hotel at 400 High Ave., off of Exit 11 of the Thruway, a short distance from the Tappan Zee Bridge.

ov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s proposed $136.5 billion executive budget for 2013-2014 drew an initial mixed response from leaders of business groups in New York, who oppose his planned $1.50 hike in the minimum hourly wage while applauding major reforms to the state’s workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance systems. The proposed spending plan for the fiscal year that starts April 1 includes approximately $90.8 billion in state operating funds, a 1.6 percent increase from the current budget. Total proposed state spending of approximately $136.5 billion, which includes federal operating funds and capital project funds, is up 1.9 percent from the current fiscal year. The executive budget eliminates a $1.3 billion gap between state general fund revenue and spending in 2013-2014 but includes no new taxes and fees, according to state budget director Robert L. Megna. When Cuomo took office two years ago, the budget gap in this coming year was projected to be $17.4 billion, he noted. Here are some key initiatives in the governor’s proposed budget that directly affect businesses in the state: Minimum wage increase – Cuomo wants to raise the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.75 an hour as of July 1 to bring it more in line with the cost of living. Nineteen states now have a higher minimum wage than New York, state budget officials noted. The $7.25 wage represents a little more than one-fourth of the average New York hourly wage of $28. “Since low-income individuals spend a larger percentage of their income than higher-income earners, salary increases in low-wage occupations lead to increased demand for goods and services and help spur economic growth,” Megna noted Wage, page 6

Chilly reception in Rye Brook for ice rink plan

BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

ye Brook residents showed up in overflow numbers at a recent village public hearing to oppose a proposed ice hockey rink at the Reckson Executive Park at 1100 King St. Reckson, a division of SL Green Realty Corp., wants to build a 140,000-square-foot rink with four sheets of ice and bleachers seating 1,230 people, with eight weekends a year devoted to hockey tournaments. The rink would have 1,052 parking spots. The Rye Brook planning board by a 4-2 vote recommended the application to village trustees. The rink would be built on a site approved and zoned for a 280,000-squarefoot office building that was never constructed. QMC Group L.L.C. of Stamford, Conn. would operate the rink, which borders SUNY Purchase and the Doral Arrowwood resort. The facility will have National Hockey League-size rinks, 200 feet by 85 feet, with lockers and changing facilities. If approved, the project will take eight months to complete. QMC Group hopes to have the rink open by Sept. 1, in time for the next hockey season. Office park occupancy in Westchester County has declined in recent years and landlords and developers are looking at adaptive reuses for vacant buildings and new uses for undeveloped parcels. Reckson’s novel sports development proposal follows the redevelopment in Harrison this year of the former Gannett newspaper plant site at 1 Gannett Drive as a 209,000-square-foot Life Time Fitness center. Reckson Executive Park sits on 79.5 acres and features two three-building office complexes. Reckson pays $241,000 in property taxes. The property is assessed at $12.5 million. If the ice rink is built, the village of Rye Brook, town of Rye and Blind Brook School District would receive substantially more in property tax revenue, though an exact figure has not been provided. “The key focus is teaching kids how to skate and play hockey,” said attorney William Null, of Cutty & Feder L.L.P., the White Plains firm representing Reckson. “This will

enhance the community and is beneficial to youth skaters and others in the community. We are not bringing in anything that would be detrimental.” Eli Williams, president of QMC Group, said that 60 percent of the ice time would be used by QMC, with the rest rented out. The rink is expected to attract high school and college teams and would operate from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 6

a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday. John Collins, of John Collins Engineers P.C. in Hawthorne, Reckson’s traffic consultant, said his two studies indicate that traffic should not be an issue. “It should be noted that at the site access (International Drive), a separate left turn lane for northbound traffic and a separate right turn lane for southbound traffic is provided, which minimizes conflicting movements along King Street,” Collins said. “In addition, in the future if traffic patterns change or traffic volumes increase, signal timings at Anderson Hill Road and/ or International Drive can be optimized to provide improved traffic flow along the King Street corridor.” Rye Brook Mayor Joan Feinstein said that more traffic analysis is needed, as residents who lived nearby expressed concern about the area being overwhelmed when college and high school games are played.

residents in the nearby Doral Greens community, presented a petition with more than 60 signatures against the project claiming that it will damage the character of the community. “This is not a compatible use no matter how you cut it,” Davis said. “This is not a recreation facility; it’s a mega ice hockey arena, one of the largest facilities in New York State. This will turn into New Roc City,” the entertainment complex in downtown New Rochelle.

Davis has filed an appeal on behalf of Doral Greens residents with the village zoning board of appeals claiming the ice rink is not an allowed use in the zoning district. The appeal will be heard on March 5. Robert Stryer, who recently moved to the nearby BelleFair residential community, said he would not have purchased his home had he known about this project. “This is going to fill up the road, and put a strain on our police and EMTs,” Stryer said. “We will have all this traffic coming into our small

and quiet community.” Stryer said that other ice rinks, like the Ice Hutch in Mount Vernon and the Brewster Ice Arena, were not built in the middle of residential neighborhoods. Officials from Rye and nearby Greenwich, Conn., have also expressed concerns about traffic and the impact on public safety and stormwater runoff. The village also received a letter from the Rye Playland Park Ice Casino opposing the project. Many hockey teams have been displaced by the closing of the ice casino after it sustained significant damage from Hurricane Sandy. The public hearing on the rink proposal will continue on Feb. 12.

White Plains firm adds practice BY JOHN GOLDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

boutique bankruptcy law firm in Westchester County has merged its practice with DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Weiderkehr L.L.P. (DDWWW), a general practice law firm in White Plains best known for its work with real estate developers. Six attorneys at Rattet Pasternak L.L.P. have relocated from the firm’s Harrison office to downtown White Plains as the Rattet Pasternak Bankruptcy Practice Group of DDWWW. The general practice firm is headquartered at 1 N. Lexington Ave. on Gateway Plaza. With the merger, DDWWW has 10 practice groups with 31 attorneys, including 15 litigators. The firm is especially known for a real estate practice that includes land use and zoning and related environmental reviews, complex real estate transactions and financing and property tax certiorari proceedings. Other practice areas include banking, commercial finance, commercial litigation, corporate law, government relations and economic development, personal injury law and matrimonial and family law. Rattet Pasternak’s practice includes all aspects of bankruptcy and insolvency law for businesses and individuals. The firm special-

izes in serving small and mid-sized businesses in a wide range of industries. Alfred Donnellan, managing partner of DDWWW and member of the firm’s executive committee, in a merger announcement called the addition of Rattet Pasternak’s bankruptcy practice “a natural expansion” for his firm that will “enhance our overall strength and ability to efficiently serve our clients. Having our own bankruptcy practice is an important step forward and complements our existing areas of practice.” “There is synergy between our firms, which is important to the success of any merger,” Donnellan added. Jonathan Pasternak, managing partner of Rattet Pasternak, which has a 23-year history in Westchester, in the announcement said the merger offers opportunities for both firms. “Our areas of expertise, including bankruptcy as well as mergers and acquisitions and construction mediation, fit well within DDWWW’s practice areas and add meaningfully to the scope of what the firm can offer. The bankruptcy practice group also includes founding partner Robert Rattet, who has practiced bankruptcy and insolvency law for business and real estate enterprises since starting his own law firm in 1975, partners Dawn Kirby, Julie Cvek and Erica Feynman and senior litigation counsel James Glucksman.

Cancer drug developer acquires Massachusetts company

Progenics Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Greenburgh has acquired Molecular Insight Pharmaceuticals Inc., a clinical-stage private biotechnology company headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., in an all-stock transaction. Progenics, a developer of drugs used in the treatment of cancer and related conditions, acquired all of Molecular Insight’s capital stock in exchange for 4,566,210 shares of Progenics common stock, which amounts to 8.9 percent of outstanding company shares after the acquisition. Progenics also agreed to payments in cash or Progenics stock of up to $23 million to Molecular Insight’s former owners for reaching certain drug commercialization milestones and up to $70 million for reaching specified sales targets for all Molecular Insight products. Progenics officials in a press release said the acquired company has a drug pipeline of targeted radiotherapy and molecular imaging compounds aimed at enhancing treatment of prostate cancer and other cancers. “This is a pivotal moment for Progenics as we advance our plan to become a preeminent oncology company,” said Progenics CEO Mark R. Baker. “Molecular Insight’s innovative small molecule compounds are an excellent complement to our internally developed oncology programs. This acquisition broadens our oncology pipeline, adding late-stage opportunities and targeting additional types of cancer while deepening our strategic focus on the PSMA (prostatespecific membrane) antigen, which shows great promise as an oncology target.” Headquartered at 777 Old Saw Mill River Road on The Landmark at Eastview campus, Progenics Pharmaceuticals to date has developed one commercial product, Relistor, a drug injected in terminally ill cancer patients to treat constipation caused by opioid painkillers. The company last fall cut more than one-fourth of its workforce and ended several research projects after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) withheld its expected approval and requested more clinical data for Relistor’s longer-term use to treat the same condition in patients with chronic pain not caused by cancer. The FDA response held up an expected $40 million milestone payment to Progenics from Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd., which markets and is further developing Relistor. Progenics in December reported netting about $23.3 million from a public offering of 12.65 million shares of common stock priced

at $2 a share. Progenics stock closed at $2.95 a share in NASDAQ trading on Jan. 23. Over the past year, the biotech stock sold at a high of $11.34 per share in April and dropped to a low of $1.42 per share in November.

Rockland Ponzi schemer gets prison term

A Rockland County accountant was sentenced Jan. 16 to three years in federal prison for operating a $6 million Ponzi scheme over 11 years. Alan Ritter, a 70-year-old self-employed accountant in Monsey, in September pleaded guilty in a Manhattan federal court to three counts of wire fraud. Ritter admitted soliciting loans from friends and clients to cover more than $500,000 in losses in a business venture in 2001 and falsely telling them the money would be used for real estate investments. Until his arrest last year, he continued to borrow money for purported business ventures but instead used the funds to pay interest on his original loans and for his personal expenses. Ritter also embezzled funds entrusted to him by several clients to cover interest payments on his Ponzi scheme loans and for personal expenses. Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney in Manhattan, when announcing the sentence said Ritter “like other Ponzi schemers before him added personal betrayal to his fraud by fleecing unsuspecting victims who were friends and clients.” The accountant also was sentenced to three years of supervised release and ordered to pay restitution and forfeiture, the amount of which will be later determined.

Hudson Valley men charged in Mafia waste-hauling racket

Seven Westchester County residents – including a recently retired state trooper and owners of a Peekskill carting business – were among 29 persons indicted Jan. 16 on federal charges for their alleged roles in organized crime’s continued control of the commercial waste-hauling industry in the New York metropolitan area. Two Rockland County men and one Putnam County resident also were named in the indictment announced by U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara of the Southern District of New York. The arrests followed a multiyear investigation by Federal Bureau of Investigation agents and Westchester County and New York City police. Twelve defendants were charged under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) for conspiring to participate in a racketeering enterprise that asserted illegal and extortionate control over commercial waste-hauling companies in New York and New Jersey. Other defendants were charged with

individual criminal acts that included loansharking, mail and wire fraud conspiracy and interstate transportation of stolen property. Bharara said the dozen defendants facing racketeering charges are members and associates of three organized crime families of La Cosa Nostra – the Genovese, Gambino and Luchese families. Those indicted from Westchester include Joseph Sarcinella, 78, Greenburgh, charged with RICO conspiracy; Pasquale Carbone Sr., 70, White Plains, mail and wire fraud conspiracy; Robert Franco, 50, Hartsdale, interstate transportation of stolen property; Mario Velez, 44, Peekskill, extortion conspiracy; Pasquale P. Cartalemi Jr., 50, Cortlandt Manor, extortion conspiracy and extortion; Pasquale L. Cartalemi, 27, Cortlandt Manor, extortion conspiracy and extortion; and Andrew McGuire, 29, Hawthorne, extortion conspiracy. A 20-year state police veteran, Velez reportedly retired in October during the investigation. He reportedly worked with two other defendants, Cartalemi Jr. and his son, at their AAA Carting and Rubbish Removal business in Peekskill. Velez and the Cartalemis reportedly forced another carter, the owner of Capital Waste Service in Hawthorne, to turn over his business to them. McGuire, the Hawthorne resident charged with conspiring in the extortion, reportedly is listed in state records as Capital Waste’s president. Federal officers described Sarcinella, who has a Scarsdale mailing address, as a soldier in the Genovese crime family who headed a family faction that at times controlled a waste hauling company incorporated by a cooperating witness. An 82-year-old Mahopac resident, Dominic “Pepe” Pietranico, also was charged with racketeering as an alleged Genovese soldier who led a family faction with Sarcinella. In Rockland County, Dominick Rao, 76, of Suffern, was charged with loan-sharking and Stephen Moscatello, 52, of Piermont, with stealing trash dumpsters from competitors and transporting them across state lines. Bharara said the Mafia families exerted control of the waste disposal industry “throughout a vast swath of counties in New York and New Jersey, and the tactics they used to exert and maintain their control come right out of the Mafia playbook – extortion, intimidation, and threats of violence. … Organized crime has many victims – in this case, small business owners who pay for waste removal, potential competitors and the communities infected by this corruption and its cost.” Westchester County Public Safety Commissioner George N. Longworth said the long-term partnership between the county police department and federal law enforcement “is an important means of combating organized crime and ensuring

that businesses in Westchester are free to operate without fear of extortion or undue influence.”

County to bond for Playland repairs

Westchester County is moving forward with plans to issue bonds to fund repairs at Rye Playland, which sustained more than $12 million in damage from Hurricane Sandy. The county Board of Legislators’ budget and appropriations committee unanimously approved two bonds last week and approval from the full board is expected Jan. 28. A $4,925,000 bond will fund repairs to the Playland Ice Casino, which sustained extensive damage. The facility’s roof requires major repairs before it can be reopened. Two doors were also blown off the building during the storm and a flood in the basement damaged the boilers. A $7,575,000 bond will go toward repairing Playland’s heavily damaged boardwalk. Portions of the structure were washed away due to the high winds and storm surge. The boardwalk has been closed to the public since the storm. The county expects to have about 70 percent of repair costs reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Insurance will also pick up some of the tab. Legislator Catherine Borgia said it’s important that Playland opens in time for the summer season. “Playland is an iconic asset for Westchester,” Borgia said. “It creates a lot of economic opportunity; it creates a lot of jobs for young people.” Legislators also announced that the government operations committee will evaluate the four proposals for the revitalization of Playland in the committee meeting on Jan. 28. The Board of Legislators has claimed that County Executive Robert P. Astorino’s choice of the Sustainable Playland proposal from the original 12 proposals is illegal, because the board never voted to approve the county’s agreement with Sustainable Playland to revamp the park. Astorino claims the management agreement his administration signed with Sustainable Playland is not a lease, and as such, does not require the approval of the board. The board decided to unilaterally review each of the proposals, and has selected the Sustainable Playland, Central Amusements, Standard Amusements and LegoLand plans as finalists. — Sam Barron, Tarice L.S.

2012 job numbers sluggish

BY SAM BARRON sbarron@westfairinc.com

employers are hiring, but the pay scale has plummeted. There is not as much disposable income as there was before the recession.” While Caridi does not expect stronger job growth in 2013, she doesn’t see the job market sliding backward. While many people have blamed the fiscal cliff, the 2012 election or the Affordable Care Act for a slow job market, Caridi said that smaller firms will only hire people if the demand for their product is there. “If a restaurant sees more people coming into the restaurant and they need more people, they will hire them,” Caridi said. “They don’t want to turn away customers. In this recession, many people changed the way they view their lives. They don’t spend the way they used to.” Caridi said that there is an issue of

he economic recovery in the Hudson Valley continues to be slow, with job market analysts blaming the reduction of private sector jobs and layoffs on Wall Street for the overall malaise. According to job numbers released by the state Department of Labor, the private sector labor force in the Hudson Valley increased by 0.8 percent in 2012, adding 5,600 jobs. In the Putnam-Rockland-Westchester region, 4,200 jobs were added in the private sector, a 0.9 increase. Putnam County and Rockland County have the second and third lowest unemployment rates in the state at 6.3 percent and 6.6 percent, respectively. Westchester is fifth at 7 percent. The tricounty area’s 6.8 unemployment rate is below the state’s 8.2 percent rate and the country’s 7.6 percent rate. From month to month, the unemployment rate in the Hudson Valley increased from 7 to 7.3 percent. There are 82,700 people unemployed in the Hudson Valley, an increase from 79,000 in November 2012 and 77,200 in December 2011. The construction industry continues to shed jobs. From November to December, construction jobs in the tricounty region decreased 3.1 percent, while year to year, the industry shed 2,500 jobs, a decrease of 8 percent. Manufacturing jobs decreased 3.6 percent year to year. Professional and business services increased 3.1 percent year to year, while education and health services increased 2.3 percent. The public sector lost 1,600 jobs, a decrease of 0.7 percent. Christy Caridi, an assistant professor of economics and director of the Marist Bureau of Economic Research, said that while the region is holding its own, it’s not the numbers one would like to see in a recovery. Caridi blames the sluggish job market on the contraction of the public sector. “The public sector is very large in New York and provides a great deal of spending power in the region,” Caridi said. “There’s a cutback of the demand for locally produced goods and services. Employers will hold back on hiring people until they are convinced the public sector is finished contracting.” Caridi said that the jobs created in the Hudson Valley are lower wage jobs and that the area has not recovered the higher paying jobs that were lost. “We are starting to rebuild,” Caridi said. “We have people working again and

highly skilled people not wanting to take these low wage jobs. “There are some manufacturing plants that are having trouble filling positions,” Caridi said. Caridi said she doesn’t expect to see the construction industry ever return to pre-recession levels, and that developers have become more conscious about the cost of building single-family homes. “We were building houses almost on spec,” Caridi said. “The market has dried up and I don’t anticipate it coming back soon.” Matthew Carey, director of financial market studies at Iona College’s Hagan School of Business said he was puzzled that construction continued to fall in December, noting the many repairs needed after Hurricane Sandy. He thinks a lag in insurance payments is to blame and the

construction industry will eventually pick up, particularly with federal funding for Sandy just approved. Carey also noted that there aren’t a lot of new projects in the area, with construction at the World Trade Center mostly complete. He said that the rebuilding of the Tappan Zee Bridge will also spur the industry. In his role at the Hagan School of Business, Carey has seen that Wall Street has yet to recover from the recession, with the banking and security industries continuing to shed jobs. “I think they are still trying to figure out what their business model is going forward,” Carey said. “When Wall Street was hitting on all cylinders, you had that trickle down effect where all businesses benefit. There was more money to spend on restaurants, cabs, cars. All that money is missing from the recovery.”

Wage — From page 1

in his budget summary. Some leading business advocates in Albany disagree. Heather Briccetti, president and CEO of The Business Council of New York State Inc., said the increased minimum wage was one of several Cuomo initiatives that concern the state’s largest business group because they “will impose new costs or new barriers on business.” The governor’s proposed energy program also has raised concern at the state Business Council, particularly an energy tax that Briccetti said would cost New Yorkers $472 million annually, new energy initiatives partly funded through increased rates or assessments and tighter regional carbon emission limits that will increase energy costs for businesses and consumers. At the Albany office of the National Federation of Independent Business, state director Mike Durant said he was “deeply disappointed” that the governor’s fiscal plan includes a minimum wage increase. “As proposed, this minimum wage hike has the potential to offset the projected immediate savings incorporated within his regulatory reform proposals. We strongly urge the governor and legislative leaders to focus on additional areas of regulatory reform and cost reduction for small business,” he said in a statement. Workers’ compensation reform – The budget includes a series of reform that will reduce employers’ costs of purchasing

workers’ compensation insurance, according to state budget officials. The measures will bring $900 million in savings to employers by reducing assessments and streamlining the system. A new bonding program will assist 10,000 businesses in defaulted workers’ compensation insurance trusts settle their liabilities. The reforms will significantly benefit businesses without affecting the rights of workers, officials said. Unemployment insurance reform – Cuomo’s budget proposes reforms to an “insolvent” unemployment insurance system with “unpredictable” costs to employers and “insufficient” benefits paid to workers. The changes will allow the state to pay off its federal debt for borrowed unemployment funds by 2016 rather than 2018 and so end interest payments that burden employers. The measures would produce an “appropriately financed” unemployment trust fund and increase both minimum and maximum weekly benefit rates for laid-off workers. At the same time, budget officials said total costs for employers will be lower, with cost savings of $400 million over 10 years. Cuomo also proposed measures to better prevent and detect unemployment insurance fraud and abuse. Marsha Gordon, president and CEO of The Business Council of Westchester, said reforming the workers’ compensation and unemployment insurance programs has been a key element of the county business group’s legislative agenda in Albany for two years. “Reforms in these two areas are steps that will directly improve the bot-

tom lines of our businesses,” she said in a statement. John Ravitz, Business Council of Westchester executive vice president and chief operating officer, said mismanagement of the unemployment insurance

trust fund led the state to borrow federal funds, and businesses have paid the price. “Our members are being hit with bills in excess of $100,000,” he said. Royalty income – Looking to close tax loopholes for businesses, the executive budget requires New York companies to pay income taxes on royalty earnings that are now exempt unless they show on their tax return that the company’s non-New York parent company included the royalty income in its tax liability. IDA sales tax exemptions – Cuomo want to put stricter controls and restric-

tions on industrial development agencies that now can independently approve state sales tax and use tax exemptions for development projects by companies that create or retain jobs in New York. IDAs will be limited to granting tax exemptions only to key industry sectors eligible for New York’s Excelsior tax credits. Those are scientific research and development, software development, agriculture, back office operations centers, distribution centers, financial services, data centers and manufacturing. For the first time, IDA-backed projects that receive state sales tax exemptions will require approval from one of the governor’s 10 regional economic development councils – in this area, the Mid-Hudson Regional Economic Development Council. The IDA and royalty income reform measures are not expected to reap a bounty of additional revenue for the state – $7 million in 2013-2014. Film production – Starting in 2015, the Empire State film production tax credit, totaling $420 million a year, will be extended for five years. Restrictions on claiming the postproduction portion of the credit will be reduced, while companies will be required to do additional reporting to document the effectiveness of the credit in creating jobs. Historic commercial properties – The tax credit for developers who rehabilitate historic commercial properties will be extended for five years, from 2015 through 2019, at the current rate of $5 million per project. A new incentive for developers, the credit will be refundable starting in 2015.

Yanko said the tax exemptions on equipment and construction materials and on the mortgage recording tax would make the project viable. The company is also working on a payment in lieu of

taxes (PILOT) with the village of Nyack, Orangetown and Nyack Central School District. “This is a big project for Nyack,” Yanko said. “Any benefits really help get this project off the ground and can start the construction. We need to make sure the hotel doesn’t fail.” Yanko said a hotel room would be about $150 a night. He said they are going after a different clientele than the nearby Best Western. “We have a style, a great deal of flair,” Yanko said. “This hotel will mean that people won’t have to go to the other side of the bridge to have a good time and spend money. It could change the environment of Rockland County. If hospitality prospers then other corporations come, and then they need more hospitality in the area.” Yanko is estimating an opening date of May 1, 2014. Other projects NYLO has done include Ink 48 and Pod 39, two boutique hotels in midtown Manhattan. It also has several hotels in Dallas and Providence, R.I.

Hotel — From page 1

Michael Yanko and Kerry Wellington, co-owners of WY Management, met with the Rockland County Industrial Development Agency (IDA) last week seeking tax exemptions for their proposal. The site was last occupied by Stoffel Seals Corp., which moved its operations up the road to Congers. WY Management bought the property for $4.2 million and will invest $19 million for site renovations, furnishings and other costs. The project is expected to create between 50 and 75 new full-time jobs. NYLO would manage the hotel. “Everybody in Nyack is supporting this project,” Yanko said. “We are looking at it as an entrance point for Nyack. It’s going to be a gateway to Nyack.” Yanko, a Nyack resident, feels that he is filling a void in Rockland County. “We have developed hotels and condo-

Banks encourage emergency preparedness BY TARICE L.S. GRAY tgray@westfairinc.com

hen McAfee, the world’s largest dedicated security company, exposed a credible threat against the banking industry last month, it raised red flags not just for large financial institutions but for every banking institution in the nation. “Project Blitzkrieg” was revealed in a report as a mass fraud campaign that would attack 30 U.S. banks by the spring of 2013. The threat came just a year after six of the nation’s largest banks, including Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, PNC, U.S. Bank, and Wells Fargo experienced disruptions on their websites after a separate cyber attack. Shortly after McAfee validated the threat, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency under the U.S. Department of the Treasury addressed the banking community. The office reiterated that banks should have risk management programs in place, as well as “layered security” to respond to threats. What the office is continuing to try to prevent is distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that would attempt to enable fraud or steal proprietary information from banking institutions in the U.S. Banks of all sizes have been more actively

“It’s intensified. The banking industry has built backup systems in the event of an emergency based on what happened post-9/11 because there were some very significant interruptions in bank service.” — John Tolomer testing solutions for the financial services industry, reported a 67 percent increase in disaster recovery testing among small banks. The company uses BLACKCLOUD’s private cloud architecture to help reduce the complexity of backup and disaster recovery tests, minimize staff disruption and time, ensure proper test documentation and provide a systematic approach to enterprise recovery. John Tolomer, president and CEO of

The Westchester Bank, said since 9/11 there’s been a heightened concern for the safety and sanctity of financial institutions. After that attack, the New York Stock Exchange reportedly lost more than $1 trillion because of the shutdown. Since then, the banking industry has become more vigilant. Over the past decade the federal government pushed harder to make sure banks were as prepared as possible. “It’s intensified,” Tolomer said. “The banking industry has built backup systems in the event of an emergency based on what happened post9/11 because there were some very significant interruptions in bank service.” Hurricane Sandy also drew concern within the banking industry regarding preparedness. “During Hurricane Sandy we had people working from home and we were able to wire transfer and make deposits from remote capture, and so we were able to continue,” he said. After passing that test, Tolomer maintains his bank has not relaxed its efforts because there’s

no way of knowing what might be on the horizon. The Westchester Bank continues to update their systems and outsource help to ensure the privacy of customer information (is safe) as well as keep the bank operational. “We don’t spare any expense to make sure our customers’ information and our ability to operate during a crisis, we make sure we have the best systems in place,” he said. Many small banks were lost in the recession of 2008 or consumed by larger banks, but the importance of maintaining them is apparent. The American Customer Satisfaction Index gave small banks a score of 79 compared to larger banks’ score of 77, again proving people’s commitment to small financial institutions. Investing in security is something Tolomer said he and the rest of the banking community will remain committed to because of the issues that keep coming up. “It’s been an on going issue for some time and it always will be,” he said.

Economic projections for 2013 have lacked the gloomy outlook of previous years, but are still “far from spectacular.” Such was the assessment from global financial services company soss Credit Suisse in its 2012 year-end report, “2013 Global Outlook: Where have all the real yields gone?” Dr. Neal Soss, managing director and chief economist for Credit Suisse, said that the financial crisis of 2008 was unparalleled in our lifetime and people became either scared or prudent. Europe’s recent recession also tempered the optimism of many in the financial world, as did the threat of the fiscal cliff, Soss told business professionals at a Jan. 18 networking breakfast in Tarrytown hosted by the Association for Corporate Growth New York Inc. According to Soss, the deal to avert the fiscal cliff wasn’t a real fix because “when it’s all said and done, it was a tax increase deal and not very much of anything else.” He added that the lingering cloud over the economy is partly perpetuated by the “fiscal drag,” or the economy’s spending gap that continues to grip the nation and much of the world

because of the turbulent political landscape. However, Soss said, “It’s very difficult to fault the political class. It’s very hard truly to lead from in front.” Relating political pressure to the business world, Soss added, “Leaders in business will probably recognize that. It’s probably easier to lead from the side or even slightly behind.” The shakiness of the recent global economics makes it tough to lead. Soss identified Mexico as a nation that has impressed the rest of the world as it has emerged with a blueprint for improving its national economy. “Mexico became the poster child for stability and its government is well regarded,” he said. “Being next-door neighbors has had its benefits, because it’s good if your neighbor’s home value increases.” The United States can feed off of the improved economy of its neighbor and 2013 may show more of that, Soss said. Looking ahead, the Credit Suisse report has varied expectations of the U.S.’s global economic partners and its own fortune. The report suggested that China will have tempered economic growth and experience slowed momentum this year. Across the Atlantic, Europe should rebound slightly with a modest recovery in economic growth, despite what the report describes as “considerable uncertainty” for the region. And in the U.S., despite increased optimism in the housing market and noted upticks in economic growth, the fiscal drag will increase, according to Credit Suisse.

What should I be tracking? This year will be a critical year for us. What should I do to insure we’re all accountable and delivering what’s expected? I also want to spot any trouble early enough to do something about it and quickly get the right people working on solutions.

Thoughts of the Day: Entrepreneurial business owners tend to hold control of their companies close to the vest. When it comes to stock, that’s a good thing. They have 51 percent of shares or more and that gives them the ability to decide what does and

doesn’t get done. They can take a long view of things and know that they’re building something for the future, while they’re working to make a profit for today. When it comes to reporting on results, owners of privately held businesses may keep their cards too close to the vest. It’s better to widely distribute data so people can engage, spot problems, correct what’s wrong and build on successes. Get everyone in the company on board by publicizing results. It makes sense to put someone in finance in charge of gathering information and distributing reports. Finance is the most familiar with numbers. And it is often the most agile when it comes to compiling data. Here are a few questions to ask to get started with what to track:

ask andi by andi gray

• What are the company’s major goals this year? • What has to happen to ensure the company hits its targets this year? • Are the goals consistent across departments, with no conflicting priorities? Set up targets to track by thinking functionally. Consider the following measures.

SALES • Number of sales – total, by person, by customer and product category • Average days to sell – from lead coming in to close and implement • Closing ratio - percent won and percent lost – track by category and overall • Monthly and annual actual vs. goal and vs. previous year

YOUR TAX BILL

• Number of new, lost, expanding and declining customers • Number of prospects and dollar volume in the pipeline, close value of the pipeline

FINANCE • Profit – gross and net, dollar and percentages • Profit/product • Overhead budget vs. actual dollar – total and by category: general and administrative, marketing and sales, overhead salaries and benefits • Amount of reserves and weekly contribution to reserves • Total loans outstanding, percentage of credit line outstanding • Accounts receivable/revenue, dollar/ percent at 30, 60, 90, more than 90 days outstanding

MARKETING • Goal for total leads vs. actual lead produced • Productivity of specific marketing initiatives – performance vs. goal • Budget for marketing vs. actual expenses • Ratio of marketing spend to revenue and gross profit – moving target, should be declining as marketing productivity increases revenue • Status of new product launches, new prospect searches • Ratios for new products/old customers and old products/new customers

Mobile Insecurity: Part 1

obile application insecurity, the secretive acquisition of information from your mobile phone, is a growing problem most mobile users are unaware of. With smartphone sales expected to surpass personal computer sales for the first time later this year, it has the potential to be an area of increasing concern and conflict. The majority of information collected by mobile applications (apps) primarily consists of geographic (geo) location, email information and phone ID. Other pieces of information, including user preferences, calendars and photographs are also regularly captured. This data is collected and sold to various advertising and third-party companies for use in advertising and marketing campaigns. Geolocation is particularly useful since it can result in relevant ads that are proximate to a person’s location. An example of this power is the appearance of a mobile ad for a store special when the user gets within 200 yards of that store. Additional information, including personal preferences can refine the targeted audience. According to a 2013 eMarketer study, the $13.63 billion amount of mobile business (7 percent of total retail business) is expected to increase to $38.4 billion, or 15 percent of retail in 2013. With this emerging mobile market and technology designed for location and context-sensitive advertising, there’s substantial reason why advertising firms are viewing this mobile realm as extremely potent and lucrative. Mobile banner advertising alone is expected to exceed $1.2 billion by 2014. Yet, much of this comes down to a matter of privacy. Do mobile users really want to have their geolocation – and other information – transmitted from their phone without their approval? According to a recent New York Times article, Angry Birds, the popular mobile game with over 1 billion downloads, “possesses a ravenous ability to collect personal information on its users.” Many additional and seemingly innocuous games and apps –

even including a Bible app – are even more discuss in Part 2 of this column, a Pew study a comprehensive webinar training course, The intrusive, downloading calendars, pictures reported that 54 percent of adults did not down- Complete Webinar Training Course – Everything load9:53 an PM app Page once 1they became aware “of how you need to know to create and promote highly and contact lists.RO Caterer Ad-WBJ:Layout 1 1/22/13 successful webinars, which will soon be available.

Yes, they can possibly generate new business promotion. Newman is currently completing from their app or maybe accept advertising. But another way of generating revenue is through the surreptitious collection and sale of personal and geo-information. Since the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires a disclaimer for each app, to better understand its role and the limitations and implications of a disclaimer, I spoke with Chris Librandi, an attorney with law firm Levett Rockwood P.C. in Westport, Conn. According to Librandi, who has significant experience with digital security issues, the FTC has jurisdiction in this area of mobile security and the right to impose fines on offending companies. Not surprisingly, the only significant legal protection against mobile information theft is when it involves children below the age of 13. In this instance, any app that collects data and is targeted toward children requires the signed consent of a parent or legal guardian before it can be installed. (If the app does not collect data, it does not require signed consent.) I can understand this for a SpongeBob SquarePants app, for example, but what about an app like Angry Birds that children You’ve created a lovely affair.

Castle on the Hudson undergoes multimillion-dollar facelift BY TARICE L.S. GRAY tgray@westfairinc.com

ost people go to the medieval-style luxury-infused Castle on the Hudson in Tarrytown for rejuvenation. Now the building itself is getting similar treatment as part of what the hotel’s general manager estimates is an $11 million renovation and construction project. The remarkable old stone structure closed at the beginning of the year and will remain inaccessible by the public for the next few months. The body of the hotel is getting a cosmetic “facelift,” said Gilbert Baeriswil, general manager of the Castle. But much of the multimillion-dollar redesign effort will focus on a new spa. Baeriswil said ever since the 100-year old hotel – once a private residence – opened to the public in 1997, it’s been missing something. “The spa element for us will make us more competitive and enable us to do more business in slow season,” he said. “Typically in the Northeast, January, February, March and April are very soft, so the Castle will be more like a resort destination year round.” Baeriswil added that there’s a genuine advantage to being an oasis 25 minutes outside of bustling Manhattan. The Castle aims to lure those looking for an immediate and nonpermanent escape from New York City with this redesign. To make the Castle more of a destination, new owner Jiro Sato, the president of Sankara Hospitality Group, commissioned Gettys, a global design firm, to revamp the elaborate luxury hotel and design the new 7,800-square-foot spa. The spa will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified by the U.S. Green Building Council. In addition to separate locker rooms, a golf cart to shuttle clients between the disconnected hotel and spa, and seven treatment rooms, the spa will have sustainable features including a vegetated roof, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, and high-tech lighting controls. Krystle Louie, project interior designer from Gettys, said the spa will complement the old-world feel of the hotel and add the influence of Asian culture. “The spa operators are from Thailand, Thann Spa, which will be very unique to the area,” Louie said. “They will offer Thai treatments so you’re going to have aromatherapy and Thai massages and a relaxation lounge that will create a certain vibe.” The Thann Sanctuary Spas have a desirable reputation in Asia, including in Sato’s native Japan and he expects it to provide the needed draw for clients in Westchester, New York City and neighboring Connecticut and New Jersey. Louie said the hotel will be freshly accented with every-

thing from carpeting to drapes, using warm tones that appropriately complement the original millwork and stone. The Castle houses 31 luxury guests rooms, including seven suites in the hotel. “Three (suites) will get the feminine feel and have furniture that plays with the curves of a woman so you feel more like you’re walking into a boudoir,” said Louie. “And the other four suites will be masculine, still sticking with the old-world theme.” The Sankara Hospitality Group purchased the Castle in March of 2011 for $11.5 million, Baeriswil said. Since then, small changes have been made in advance of the major renovation. More personalized service was offered to the hotel’s

clientele and Equus, the hotel’s AAHS Award Winning 5-star restaurant, welcomed a new executive chef, Chiharu Takei. The Japanese-born, French-trained chef introduced a new tasting menu that progresses with each season, with locally grown vegetables and high-quality meat and fish. The menu will also feature Japanese and French influences. Sato hired his friend to be a part of his first U.S. venture, said Louie. The old world feel coupled with Asian influence is something Baeriswil said will also be alluring to international clients as well. The collective staff is embracing the change and looking forward to the reopening of the Castle Hotel & Spa in May, he said.

Program offers tasty way to thank volunteers

BY MARY SHUSTACK mshustack@westfairinc.com

hen John Higgins walked into Chutney Masala Indian Bistro in Irvington one day with a proposal, restaurant owner Navjot Arora was wary. “We get people all the time, people trying to hawk something,” Arora said. But this time, though Higgins was making a pitch, it was one of a different kind. Higgins is the owner of ThankYouForCaring, a Westchester-based business designed to help nonprofit organizations – and Arora saw the value in participating in the ongoing program that is gaining steam across the county. ThankYouForCaring was launched in early 2010, with a number of businesses, such as hair salons and hardware stores, offering savings incentives to local volunteers. The company’s goal, Higgins said, is to improve the relationship between the businesses and the nonprofits, offering a program that helps both. This past summer, Higgins stepped it up, creating a restaurant program.

In brief, anyone who volunteers – whether it’s helping out with a PTA bake sale, an animal-rescue organization’s walk-a-thon or even being a member of a local volunteer fire department – is entitled to a card. The volunteer can receive the card either directly from the organization they are working with, or by providing proof to the Volunteer Center of United Way, a featured partner along with Phelps Memorial Hospital Center in Tarrytown. In addition to receiving discounts at select shops and service establishments, volunteers can visit any of the nearly 40 participating restaurants on a Wednesday evening, Volunteer Appreciation Night, and receive 20 percent off their food check. Higgins, a Mount Vernon resident whose varied background includes owning a masonry company, was out on disability when he came up with the program idea. He was volunteering at a local animal shelter when he thought about how hard smaller nonprofits have it when it came to fundraising and attracting volunteers. He began to organize some fundraisers, which led to ThankYouForCaring.

IntroducIng the brIstal

“This kind of became a spinoff of that,” he said. Soon after, Higgins began to approach small businesses to explain the program and see if they might offer discounts to those who do volunteer work. With many already giving discounts to senior citizens on certain days, this seemed like a compatible program. “They said ‘Why not?’ and a little light went off,” Higgins said. Nonprofits, Higgins added, now have an inventive way to thank their loyal volunteers and donors, while restaurants can both raise their profile and fill seats on a slow evening. “It’s (to) their advantage,” Higgins said, noting that giving up 20 percent of a check is a way to both fill seats and spread good will. Higgins admits the program is still catching on, though he is already working with some 200 nonprofit agencies. “Between something new and the recession, it takes time,” though he sees it continuing to grow as restaurants traditionally are known to help out their neighbors. “Restaurants are always giving (gift) cards, always hosting fundraisers,” he said.

For the nonprofit, Higgins said, it is almost a “no-brainer.” “I don’t believe it’s an incentive to volunteer, but they’re always looking for ways to thank their volunteers,” Higgins said. “You donate money to a nonprofit, (and) you really don’t think of any of that money going to something to thank the volunteers.” Higgins said the program also works on other levels. He suggests those businesses who are giving the discounts engage the cardholders when they use them. He said volunteers, for the most part, are very passionate about their causes. The business owner might learn all about a local project or a special cause. “Then it’s not just a cash transaction,” Higgins said. “To be corny, I do think it’s building community.” Those using the card don’t have to register it, and no personal information is taken, an attractive feature for many. Down the line, Higgins plans to expand into the corporate segment, getting into company newsletters and working with even more restaurants.

Another Quality Community By The Engel Burman Group

I see myself in a whole new light, now that I live at The Bristal. “Ever since selling War Bonds during WWII, I’ve always been an activist. I believe in standing up for your rights. Though the story of my life has been a dream come true, when I came to The Bristal, a whole new chapter opened up before me. Especially during elections, where I help fellow residents consider candidates that value senior issues. I help get out the vote — our vote. Then, after heated political debate, we cool off with a cocktail, enjoy the pool, putt a few holes, play some cards... and do a little more debating. Cause that’s what friends do.”

POWERFUL WOMEN COMMUNICATIONS in

The big change is in cable news. And I think what Suzyn said is what drives me nuts. We masquerade opinion all the time as fact. And I think we call cable news now — sliver-casting — everybody going through this increasingly divided piece of the pie.”

I know that even in the world of sports for example a reporter used to be reporter — you saw what you were covering and you wrote it down. Now everybody’s on Twitter and they got their own little snide little remarks in and it’s all slanted.”

At Newsweek the sales people were not allowed to speak to editors or reporters — today if they don’t speak they lose their jobs. So there is dissolution of power of corporations to join editorial with the business side. Because I think it takes away from the editorial product — it takes editors away from what their initiative is — which is to produce a great print publication. So it was the right decision for me to move on.”

STRAIGHT TALK FROM THE PROS

the seventies now — they’re gone they’re not coming back — and I realized I had to find something else to do with my life. The only other thing that I knew was sports. There was a little something that was gonna start happening in 1987. It was gonna be called WFAN. I got to meet the man who put it together. I was recommended — and I put together a tape and got a job — I was the first voice on the air on WFAN.”

Valerie Salembier:

“When I graduated from high school I didn’t go to college. I figured I could do it my way. I started at Time Inc. just by chance. And got a job as receptionist. And it all started from there. Probably the most important thing that happened to me was that I began to understand that ‘that guy’s job’ — I could do that. And ‘that guy’s job’ — I could do that as well. And that’s how it began.”

n a wide-ranging and spirited discussion of today’s ever-changing world of media, three women well known in communications – Valerie Salembier, Suzyn Waldman and Paula Zahn – discussed their careers, issues and offered words of encouragement to young women seeking careers in the industry at a roundtable discussion Jan. 17 at The College of New Rochelle. Titled “Powerful Women in Communications,” the event was presented by the Westchester County Business Journal, Fairfield County Business Journal, HV Biz and WAG magazine. The event was hosted by The College of New Rochelle, Judith Huntington, president. Sponsors were Bigelow Tea, Bruce Museum, Chocolations, Conair, Cross County Shopping Center, Entergy, Michael F. Goscia M.D., Lv2bfit, Red Door Spa and Roam. Salembier is the former senior vice president, publisher and chief revenue officer of Town & Country magazine; Waldman is an award-winning sports journalist and Yankees radio commentator for WCBS; and Zahn who has held numerous positions in broadcast journalism is now co-host of “NYC-Arts” on PBS and Discovery channel’s investigative show “On the Case with Paula Zahn.” In 2011, a study of more than 500 media outlets from around the world published by the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) found that women constitute just a third of the full-time journalism workforce. The proportion is even more lopsided when it comes to top management roles within the media, where men occupy about 73 percent of the positions, according to IWMF’s “Global Report on

Paula zahn

the Status of Women in the News Media.” However, the report stated, “among senior professionals, women are nearing parity with 41 percent of the news-gathering, editing and writing jobs.” The following are excerpts from the discussion that was moderated by Elizabeth BrackenThompson, a partner with public relations and advertising agency Thompson and Bender:

“I actually set off to college believing that I was going to become a professional musician. And I spent my junior year abroad working with the BBC and I had the opportunity to work with the film crew at Belfast, Northern Ireland. I was the one who had to have two sets of IDs — Protestant ID and Catholic ID. And I crossed Shankill Road this was in the wake of prison riots and the aftermath of them. And I think that was the point of which I saw the immediacy and the power of reporting. And that was the point at which I decided to become a journalist. So after I graduated I started in the local news trenches. My first job was in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. I was a police reporter. My Datsun B210 had a police radio scanner in it. I was the one that would dispatch myself to murders, fires and all of that. And continued to do police reporting, which I’m now doing for Discovery Channel as well. I moved on to the San Diego market and went from San Diego to Houston to Boston to Los Angeles. …Crazy journey.”

in your career if you had Something to do oVer again – What Would it be and Why? Waldman:

“Nothing! I don’t live like that. The only thing I regret is that I let my ex-husband talk me into selling our apartment in New York City. And I think I only regret that because I didn’t do it myself. I’m not a big regret person – I wouldn’t want to do anything over. I kind of like ‘You go where you go.’”

zahn: elizabeth bracken-thomPSon

Where did your career begin? Suzyn Waldman:

“I was on Broadway for years. And the Broadway musicals that I came to New York to do — this is

“I kind of agree with that particularly in our profession because many times you don’t have a whole lot of control about where you go next. There are so many things that determine your fate. The lead-ins the lead-outs. You could be a very talented journalist and put on a great show, but you could be very compromised by things that are happening independent of your show. So

I agree — I mean I think one of the things I hope that if you have daughters and sons that you take home the message today that I think out of failure comes wonderful growth. And I think we all hit roadblocks in our careers. The doors slam in our faces. And the trick is to take those defeats and help leverage them into something better. So if you look at any of our résumés they are not errorfree; they are not disappointment-free. …Stuff happens and your strength comes from figuring out what to do. But that falling forward – falling on your face is a forward motion – remember that.”

— I was a copywriter and one day she said to the president of Newsweek — ‘Why aren’t there any women on the advertising sales staff?’ And by the way, the sales staff had 70 men on it. And he said, ‘Who said a woman can sell advertising?’ She took a leaded ashtray and threw it directly at him. And wouldn’t you know there I was and I raised my hand. So I became the first woman on the Newsweek sales staff.”

What are your feelingS about the future of the World of communicationS and Where do you See it in eVen tWo yearS from noW.

Salembier:

“I would say I have a lot of regrets; different from my colleagues. Probably the real regret is not getting an education sooner. I became a student of the School of New Resources at the College of New Rochelle as a young adult. And it was hard. I got a great education here but it took about three years — I was working — I was supporting a husband — and it was, again, pretty tough on myself. So I would have started my education sooner.”

Waldman:

“I think what Paula said is so great because you never know what’s going to happen. In 1989 they wouldn’t let me in the main press box for the game with San Francisco and Oakland — in the World Series. I was upstairs in the upper deck when the San Francisco earthquake hit. And only because I was sitting in that seat — and the only phone that did not go out – my sitting there — and I was so furious because they wouldn’t let me in the press box — that earthquake made my career. So you just never know — falling forward — I was so angry and then the world changed. So you just never know where you’re gonna be so there’s no reason to regret anything because you never know where you’re gonna end up.”

haVe any of you eVery exPerienced any gender biaS in any of your careerS? Waldman:

“It’s been 27 years of it. When you go into sports … they don’t want you there. Because there isn’t one 18-year-old intern that doesn’t think he knows more than I do — he’s wrong, but they don’t. When I started my first thing with the Yankees I was spit at. I had my own policeman at Yankee Stadium in 1989 because I had death threats. I sat in the press box in 1987 at Yankee Stadium and no one talked to me the whole year. It was awful; they didn’t want you there. You have to know that coming in.”

zahn:

“It’s interesting because I came into the news business as trailblazers had broken down the major barriers. That’s not to say I didn’t encounter bias along the way, but when I started in Dallas-Fort Worth that was the top 10 market and more than half of the reporters on air were women, so you know we came a long way from those days when news directors didn’t think women would ever

Salembier:

be taken seriously because they didn’t find our voices had the right timbre to be taken seriously. “All those barriers have been broken down. But I will tell you a funny story about what happened to me in Dallas-Fort Worth. I was covering my first big trial. And it involved the very, very popular local pastor who had been accused of selling bootlegged copies of ‘Debbie Does Dallas.’ For those of you who aren’t familiar with porno — that’s the ‘Gone With the Wind ‘of porno films. But to make a long story short I had to listen to the jury selection and all of that. I was the only female reporter that was covering this trial. There was a judge on the bench who was very famous for loving to belittle women. They actually played an hour of ‘Debbie Does Dallas’ in the courtroom. So can you imagine I’m sitting watching this porn flick in a courtroom — thinking oh my God, what would my parents think — could they ever believe this. There was an intermission about halfway through and I remember the judge comes over to me and said, ‘So Miss Paula are you enjoying the movie?’ Then I move on to my next job and I will tell you there was a near crisis at a (nuclear) power plant and I remember my news director looking at me and he says, ‘You get the job. And if you come back and you’re glowing I’ll give you double time.’” No more of the gender bias. Basically there were no girl stories or boy stories by the time I got to San Diego.”

“It is very worrisome actually — as you all see with newspapers — younger generations coming up do not read newspapers. They grew up getting news and information from television and now everyone — my stepdaughter — 35 years old — she gets all of her news and information on her iPad. …the future of print — and this is the part that drives me crazy — media companies want to make money — all businesses want to make money. What’s happened in print media today is that there is now a crossover between the editorial of a newspaper or magazine and the advertising departments. So what happens is that years ago there used to be an absolute separation of church and state. At Newsweek the salespeople were not allowed to speak to editors or reporters. Today if they don’t speak they lose their jobs. So there is dissolution of power of corporations to join editorial with the business side. Because I think it takes away from the editorial product — it takes editors away from what their initiative is — which is to produce a great print publication. So it was the right decision for me to move on.”

it muSt haVe been Very Poignant moment for you to See the laSt PubliShed edition of neWSWeek laSt month. Salembier:

“I thought Tina was doing a great job with Newsweek … But newsweeklies are gone — they are not important any longer — people want to get their news and information immediately.”

Waldman:

“I find it all very frightening. I know that even in the world of sports for example a reporter used to be reporter — you saw what you were covering and you wrote it down. Now everybody’s on Twitter and they got their own little snide little remarks in and it’s all slanted. So you don’t see — particularly in sports — any kind of journalistic — well journalism pretty much is gone there — everybody’s got a little smarty comment or something. — what bothers me is that the immediacy of what everybody is seeing there’s no sense of history …There’s no sense of history any more. I think what Valerie said is absolutely perfect and Paula you can speak to this better than anybody. The difference between a newsperson now and someone’s opinion is all muddled. It’s not journalism anymore — it’s very worrisome I think.”

— sliver-casting — everybody going through this increasingly divided piece of the pie. What I object to most is when opinion is not labeled as such and when the audiences begin to believe that that is fact. And I think that is a very damaging trend. In order to get an audience you have to be much more provocative than we were 15 years ago. I could do a straight-based show before on cable news — you’re not going to get an audience with that anymore. You have to be provocative and opinionated — and that’s not where I want to be.”

Waldman:

“Well I find it very difficult to since I live here. And I live in an area that is heavily wooded and I’m by myself. I find it an awful invasion of privacy and I think they did a terrible thing. If I could say it any stronger I would. But, I heard all about it’s public knowledge — and it’s all that — yada yada yada — I think what they did was a terrible breach of privacy — and those people in White Plains whose house was broken into because they went to, to try and find the guns, that’s the thing I’m afraid of. That you know someone has a gun so you’re going to go and take that gun and it’s now an unregistered gun that can’t be traced back to anybody. I thought it was awful and they should be ashamed of themselves.”

Salembier:

zahn:

“I think you should make a distinction between broadcast television — which are the big broadcast networks like ABC, NBC, CBS — and cable news. Two entirely different universes. For the last 20 years people said that the network news divisions were dinosaurs. Well, guess what — collectively on an average night they still draw an audience of 15 million-plus people. I think that the way we program those shows is different than we did 15 years ago because you have to make the assumption that the people coming to a 6:30 newscast already know what happened during the day. So we’re not always just telling you what happened, but how to look at an issue. So that is a very subtle change in broadcast news. The big change is in cable news. And I think what Suzyn said is what drives me nuts. We masquerade opinion all the time as fact. And I think we call cable news now

“Reality — it’s like reality TV. I am a very strong antigun supporter. My work with the police department covers this area — I do a lot of work on this horrible epidemic. But, I will say, publishing names what it gets you — it got them nothing. And it got them a lot of anger and disappointment, and so on. I think it was a mistake but I understand why they did it.”

been noted that Sally Smith has bought a pantsuit. If she continues to wear it to the office she needs to be told to cease and desist. We don’t want to encourage other women to be wearing pantsuits.’”

Waldman:

“The power shoulders … I thought I was Joan Collins. No that’s pretty much why I was in radio. I gotta tell you I am really kind of horrified at what the young women wear on the air now. I’m horrified. When I first started I remember Mr. Steinbrenner once told me I had a pantsuit on and I was doing something and he said, ‘You come back tomorrow and you wear a skirt. You are going to be a lady here.’ This was in the mid-80s and I did it and it was alright.”

if you can deScribe in one Word the one characteriStic that helPed make you the SucceSSful Woman you are today What Would that be? Waldman:

“Determination.”

Salembier: “Integrity.”

zahn:

“Tenacity.”

to Sum uP Some of the key thoughtS that came out today: “get an education.” “out of failure comes growth.” “if you don’t want to be criticized about your looks go into radio.” “Journalism has become very blurred with opinion and journalistic coverage is a slippery slope we’re on.” “today’s citizen journalist has no sense of history when reporting.” “We should all teach the next generation that there are no shortcuts.” “go out of your way to help young women and young men.” “don’t let your husband sell your apartment.”

zahn:

“Because I spend more than half of my life now crisscrossing the country in maximum security prisons interviewing killers for my show for Discovery channel I have some very strong opinions, which I never share publicly because I have to be able to report these things objectively. Obviously this was a gross invasion of your privacy.”

GOOD happening In and THINGS about the hudson valley

Margaret McCarthy, “Embrace”

Megan Campisi

Steal to the stage and learn

Using the concept – “If you steal from one, it’s plagiarism; if you steal from many, it’s research” – actress Megan Campisi builds her theater workshop, Lecoq Techniques and Physical Theater. “In this workshop, we ‘research’ techniques of cinematic framing, storyboarding and improvisation, all in pursuit of devising (creating) new theater as an ensemble. We move through the steps from seed idea to staged scenes based on the methods used by theater company Gold No Trade and the techniques of French artist Jacques Lecoq. We also draw on Object Theater, which uses the transformation of everyday objects to bring magic and surprise to the stage. By the end of the workshop, participants will have devised their own short pieces.” She will be holding a workshop Feb. 6 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Orange Hall Theatre on SUNY Orange’s Middletown campus. The program is free and open to the public. For more information, call (845) 341-4891.

Mohonk Preserve through the lens

Ulster Savings Bank’s Gardiner branch is hosting a collection of photography from the Mohonk Preserve Volunteer Photographers. The exhibit will be on display through Feb. 14. The volunteers, ranging from novices to seasoned photographers, cover events by the Mohonk Preserve and also spend time capturing the spirit of the preserve, which includes more than 7,500 acres of mountain ridges, forests, fields, streams, ponds and other unique environments. This exhibit will feature these images, along with other various other photographs of the Hudson Valley. For more information, contact Kathy DeLano, Gardiner branch manager, at (845) 255-4262, ext. 4401.

Time for movies

The Seligmann Center for the Arts in Sugar Loaf will launch its 2013 Film Series with the cinematographic documentary “Picasso and Braque Go to the Movies” (2008). Neversink Valley Area Museum Executive Director Seth Goldman will headline the event with a post-viewing discussion of the film, directed by Arne Glimcher and produced by Martin Scorsese and Robert Greenhut. This short film illustrates the revolution that came along with cinematography’s break into the art world in the early 20th century. Braque and Picasso developed the art style known as Cubism from 1910 through the 1920s. With the onset of advances in technology, Braque and Picasso were compelled to include the concept of the dimensions and motions of film into their masterpieces, bringing a modern edge to an art world steeped in tradition and classicalism. This event is the first in the 2013 series of film evenings that will be held January through June on the last Friday of each month at 7:30 p.m. The film series is free of charge. For more information, go to kurtseligmann.org.

Teen art at Beacon gallery

Art students from Beacon High School are displaying their works through Feb 3 at RiverWinds Gallery, 172 Main St. in Beacon. Titled “Beacon Teen Reflections,” the show according to the gallery, “is probably the most colorful show we have had and the greatest variety of mediums.” Gallery hours are Wednesday to Monday, noon to 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Second Saturday. Known for its community of artists and its young talented high-school artists, Beacon’s teen show at RiverWinds is in its seventh year. Student artwork comes from various classes, including ceramics, photography, independent study and studio art classes. “Our photographers are innovative and demonstrate a variety of image-making approaches,” said Mark Lyons of the high school art department. “We treat these amazing students like professionals and I hope many of them will have art careers,” gallery co-owner Linda T. Hubbard said. All artwork is for sale. For more information, call (845) 838-2880 or visit riverwindsgallery.com.

Nothing but love

“Be Mine Forever,” an exhibition featuring photographs and poetry celebrating love, will run through Feb.16 at Alliance Gallery, Delaware Arts Center, 37 Main St., Narrowsburg. Exhibition

hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit showcases poems and photographs expressing stages of romance, heartbreak, marriage and lasting love. As in other years, the poetry will be transformed and displayed as a “poem object,” a physical rendition of the poem’s central image or images. These “poem objects,” along with the written poem, will be displayed in the gallery, mingled with photographs on the theme of romantic love. Mary Greene of the Upper Delaware Writers Collective curated the poetry selections and Alliance Gallery Director Rocky Pinciotti curated the photographs. The exhibition includes presentations by photographers describing their images, poets reciting their poems and singer Sharon Paige performing torch songs accompanied by pianist Bob Lohr all in the Gloria Krause recital hall. The exhibition also includes the popular magnetic poetry wall. For more information, call (845) 252-7576 or visit ArtsAllianceSite.org.

Solo, but side by side

Two solo shows of the 2013 Exhibition Series in The Riverside Galleries at the Garrison Art Center are on exhibit through March 3 featuring “The Shifting,” paintings by Liliane Tomasko and “In Search of America,” drawings by Stephen Cox. Swiss-born painter Tomasko is known for her inviting paintings of vaguely familiar objects and spaces. She began her undergraduate education in sculpture at the Chelsea College of Art and Design and received an MA in sculpture from the Royal Academy Schools, both in London. In the late 1990s sculpture gave way to painting. Today, her work is shown extensively in galleries and museums throughout Europe. In 2010, The New York Studio School presented her first solo exhibition in the United States. Cox, a resident of New York City shows his work in the Northeast and in the Washington, D.C. and the mid-Atlantic areas. His work was included in a two-year international traveling exhibition and in the Drawing Biennial at Gallery 32 in London. In 2011, Cox was included in a group exhibition at Mass MoCA titled “Exchange with Sol Lewitt.” The gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact carindaswann@ theriversidegalleries.org or call (845) 424-3960.
