PLAYLAND’S FUTURE FACES NEW HURDLE

s far back as October, it was Sustainable Playland Inc. that was the apparent winner in taking over operations of Rye Playland, the county-owned money pit that last year was awash in $3.4 million in red ink. With a signed letter of intent in hand, Sustainable Playland had pledged to invest more than $34 million in the amusement park and make an upfront payment of $4 million and minimum annual payments of $1.2 million to Westchester County. Sustainable Playland had said it would assume all responsibility for the park’s management for a period of 10 years, with the county retaining ownership of the 280-acre park that hugs the Long Island Sound. But Democratic legislators expressed skepticism about the deal, concerned that taxpayers would still be on the hook for Playland’s debt. Peter Harckham, majority leader of the Westchester County Board of Legislators, said it

State running short on primary care docs BY JoHN GolDEN jgolden@westfairinc.com

The hudson Valley region was one of only two areas in new york that gained more physicians than it lost in 2011, though hospitals here reported a collective shortage of more than 140 primary care doctors in 2012. those were among the recent findings of the 2012 physician advocacy survey of the healthcare Association of new York State (hAnYS), a rensselaer-based health care advocacy group and data provider representing more than 250 hospitals and health systems statewide. the report, “doctor Shortage: condition critical,” drew on

survey responses from 110 hospitals, which represent 73 percent of hospitals in the state outside new York city. Participating in the survey were members of the northern Metropolitan hospital Association (normet), which includes 29 hospitals in Westchester, rockland, Putnam, dutchess, orange, Ulster and Sullivan counties. hAnYS found that more than 1,200 physicians were needed by hospitals across the state last year, a 64 percent increase from 2011. Primary care doctors accounted for a greater percentage of the shortage, as demand for primary services increases in a reformed system of health care delivery and payCode blue, page 6

In Yonkers, a bat maker swings for market share

tep into the basement rec room of the small Tudor house in Yonkers – Victor Delgado’s “man cave” – and it’s abundantly clear from the mementos and souvenirs in frames and cases that this cavedweller is well connected – to the big leagues. The ash bats and cowhide balls enshrined there are autographed by baseball’s Hall of Fame greats, All-Stars and lesser stars and the number-one pick from Puerto Rico in the 2012 draft. A photo gallery shows the homeowner with David Ortiz and other players met and befriended at Major League Baseball All-Star games. He has kept working company with baseball celebrities whose long roster includes Vladimir Guerrero, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Bob Feller, Jim Palmer and Monte Irvin. Parked beside a well-stocked bat rack, two sky-blue fold-up wooden seats, numbered “1” and “2”, are sacred relics from the old Yankee Stadium. The rec room rug is a woven baseball diamond. The frozen juice bars that Delgado fetches from his kitchen freezer were sent by Roberto Clemente Jr., son of the Hall of Fame player. The ring Delgado sports on one hand is a World Series ring from 2002, given him by the San Francisco Giants, whose players he came to know as a field production coordinator for Major League Baseball (MLB) Productions. Orlando Cepeda, the former Giants great and Hall of Famer, stops by when visiting New York to eat the paella that his young compadre from Puerto Rico, Delgado, makes. Delgado also makes bats – wooden softball and baseball bats. His bats have not yet broken into the majors, but already his pro-stock models, made of pure maple, are sought out by professional players. The sole owner of Delmundo Sports L.L.C., Delgado also operates recreational baseball, softball and youth leagues in Yonkers. He launched his Xplosive Bats business less than 1 1/2 years ago. He hopes by next year to open a production facility for his company’s youth and softball bat models

and an indoor batting center in Yonkers and bring manufacturing and service jobs to the city. Growing up in Puerto Rico, “I’ve been in baseball since I was 8 years old,” said the 38-year-old entrepreneur, “I was one of those kids that baseball helped make me who I am … I love the game. I would sleep with a bat.” Twenty-five years ago, Delgado moved with his family to the Bronx, where he played baseball at DeWitt Clinton High School. A first baseman and catcher, he was a walk-on to the Mercy College team. Before and after college, he competed in semi-pro leagues in New York City for several years until “my knees couldn’t take it anymore.” At 24, he called it quits and donated all of his playing gear to neighborhood kids. But after the birth of his son six years ago, “I got the itch to get back into the game,” he said. He started playing softball and started a softball league operated by his Delmundo Sports company on ball fields in Yonkers parks. But the aluminum bats used in the league drove balls too far to suit the confines of a park field. Delgado had heard about a wood-bat softball league in Boston and decided to try it here. He bought 10 bats for the trial, “probably the worst 10 softball bats you can imagine – made in China.” That led Delgado to start making his own bats for the league. “The first dozen bats I made, I sold them in an hour” to players at Smith Park in Yonkers. A bat business was born. Delgado started his manufacturing enterprise with funds borrowed from his 401(k) retirement savings plan at Major League Baseball Productions, where he has worked for 14 years. “I took a big risk,” he said. The hitters’ custom-made lumber is produced at a plant on Long Island that also makes bats for two other companies, he said. The raw materials come from a Binghamton supplier – Delgado formerly used a hardwood manufacturer in Quebec, Canada – as 37-inch billets, cylinders of maple that are put through a lathe before the bat is sanded, stained and its barrel engraved with the distinctive Xplosive label.

“We have 16 pro-stock baseball bats, three softball models and two youth models,” he said. Pro models are priced from $85 to $105; softball models from $65 to $79 and youth bats from $50 to $60. “We’re not trying to make 100,000 bats. We’re trying to make good quality, less bats. We try to customize the bats. I feel like every bat we make, we’re giving birth.” To sell to Major league Baseball clubs, MLB must first approve the lumber used in bat production and the Long Island warehouse where they are made, Delgado said. The owner of Xplosive Bats would be required to pay a $13,000 fee to MLB and what he expects will be a costly premium on MLB’s required $20 million umbrella insurance policy. “When we make the jump next year to Major League Baseball, my family is going to give me the money,” he said. “That’s something we’re looking at next year.” This year Xplosive Bats will concentrate on direct sales to youth and other baseball leagues, schools and local sporting goods stores. The company already has placed its bats in retail stores in Miami, Fla. and Puerto Rico. “Our goal is to expand to more stores seeking our bats,” that don’t require mass production and bulk orders, he said. “We have guys in Double-A in Puerto Rico using our bats,” Delgado said, “We just shipped bats to Wisconsin.” The bat maker had an appointment in Secaucus, N.J., for MLB Productions. He shed his blue polo shirt with the Xplosive Bats emblem and donned a dress shirt for his other job in baseball. He checked the voicemail on the phone in his man cave before hustling out the door. It was a sports agent from Ohio who said his

Manhattan Internet firm eyes office move to Yonkers BY ANDREA KENNEDY akennedy@westfairinc.com

leading Internet and media company is looking at the former Otis Elevator factory complex in downtown Yonkers as a possible relocation site for its most profitable business. IAC/InterActiveCorp (IAC), consistently ranked by Fortune magazine as one of the world’s most admired companies in the Internet services and retailing sector, is in talks . to move IAC Search, the name behind Ask.com, from its iconic digs in Chelsea’s Frank Gehry building to the Yonkers waterfront. The possible landing site for IAC Search is the 24-acre i.Park Hudson campus, touting modern multi-use floor plans, river views and proximity to public transportation. Owned by National Resources, the redeveloped Yonkers plant at 24 Wells Ave. has lured businesses such as Kawasaki Rail Car Inc. and Saint Joseph’s Hospital. Yonkers Industrial Development Authority President and CEO Melvina Carter hopes to augment the i.Park tenant list with highly profitable tech firms. “We are looking to attract some high-end business, high-tech businesses with good paying jobs,” she said. To help encourage IAC’s move, the

The i.Park Hudson campus in Yonkers.

Yonkers IDA recently gave initial approval to sales tax exemptions for the company’s relocation project that total $402,000. The company in its project application to the IDA said the IAC Search office would bring in 182 full-time jobs with an average salary of $125,000. The applicant said IAC Search “is looking at consolidating its New York office into Yonkers.” “We believe that IAC would be a great addition to Yonkers,” said Carter. “The chairman of the IDA board, Mayor (Mike) Spano, and the entire board welcomes this move, and our actions thus far just demonstrate that we’re in support of them coming here.” Officials at IAC – also the parent compa-

IAC spokeswoman Justine Sacco said the company hoped to do so “when the time is appropriate.” She called any public discussion of the move “premature.” “Our businesses are certainly expanding and growing and we’re always looking at new things, but there’s a lot of speculation here,” Sacco said. Carter, though, indicated that IAC favors Yonkers due to the influx of investment in the downtown and waterfront areas. “In my discussion with them, they feel this is a great location,” she said. “They see the investment that’s being made by the city and other developers along our waterfront.”

City officials were cautiously optimistic that IAC will bring i.Park Hudson its tenancy and subsequent jobs. “We’re hoping that IAC will take the next step and finalize this project so we would have something really great to celebrate in our downtown area,” said Carter. “In our mind we’re done with our actions, but now we have to wait until the company finalizes the deal with the landlord here.” The IDA’s sales tax exemption would save the company hundreds of thousands of dollars on purchases of materials, furnishings and equipment needed for the $4.8 million project to prepare the 40,000-squarefoot office space eyed by IAC. Construction would take an estimated six months once the deal is finalized. Neither Carter nor IAC offered a timeline or deadline for the deal. “We’re hoping they’ll finish up their negotiations, they’ll sign a lease and they can get moving, but I don’t have any specific time frame from the company at this point,” said Carter. Carter said the firm’s relocation would be a “phenomenal” boon for the city. “I think this is a great story,” she said. “They picked Yonkers, so I think it speaks to all the work this administration is doing to attract businesses.”

YPIE gets $300K grant from NY Life Foundation

Yonkers Partners in Education (YPIE) announced that the New York Life Foundation will make a $300,000 commitment to fund Getting Prepared for Success (GPS), a program to prepare middle school students for success in high school and college. YPIE, a private nonprofit that works in partnership with the Yonkers Public Schools, established the GPS program in 2011 to address the need for students to develop strategies for success before entering high school. GPS provides seventh and eighth grade students with a year-long, interactive curriculum designed to prepare them for success and engage them in meaningful planning around their college and career choices.

This year more than 900 students in seven Yonkers middle schools are participating in the program. Additional funding from the grant will support the College and Career Center at Gorton High School, which aims to increase the number of Gorton students who complete a post-secondary program. “By making higher education achievable, YPIE impacts not only the individual student but also the larger Yonkers community,” said Maria Collins, senior program officer of the New York Life Foundation in a statement. “The grant will help them to continue to prepare students for high school and beyond. This grant is an investment in our future.”

Rangers give Playland an assist

The New York Rangers and Chase Bank are teaming up to help refurbish the Playland Ice Casino. New York Rangers Assist is a communitybased program designed to improve youth hockey opportunities. The program will be assisting the Ice Casino and a hockey rink

on Long Island that was heavily damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Playland alone suffered $12 million in damage, with the Ice Casino taking the brunt of it. At the Ice Casino, the program will provide a new refrigeration system along with roof and structural repairs. “With local youth hockey programs scrambling to find ice time, the Rangers and Chase initiative will help repair the Ice Casino and hasten its reopening, which will certainly gladden the hearts of local hockey enthusiasts and ice skaters,” said Westchester County Legislator Judith Myers in a statement.

Students impacted by Sandy granted loan repayment extension

The New York State Higher Education Services Corp. (HESC) announced it has extended the student loan repayment relief deadline for borrowers impacted by Hurricane Sandy through June 30. Gov. Andrew Cuomo made the appeal to HESC to grant temporary student loan relief to New Yorkers who were affected by Hurricane Sandy shortly after the storm hit in November. Residents of Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester counties as well as members of the military who assisted in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy were granted a 90-day grace period on their student loan payments. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Education required that federal student loan servicers extend the 90-day forbearance period for impacted borrowers and to grant forbearance to those who have only recently been identified as Sandy victims through June 30. The HESC also extended the suspension or reversal of delinquency or default notifications to credit reporting agencies, the suspension of wage garnishments, and collections calls to federal student loan borrowers in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut who are delinquent in their federal student loan payments. For more information, contact HESC to request a temporary suspension by calling 1 (866) 991-HESC (4372) or by emailing Dept736@hesc.ny.gov.

Red House Entertainment favorite to run Paramount BY sAm BARRoN sbarron@westfairinc.com

ed House Entertainment L.L.C. is hoping to be the group that takes Peekskill’s Paramount Center for the Arts out of the red. The company, run by Garrison sound engineer Kurt Heitmann, was the unanimous selection of a six-person committee that reviewed the three groups bidding to take over the shuttered Paramount. The committee included Peekskill Mayor Mary Foster, Peekskill Business Improvement District (BID) Executive Director Jason Angell and Councilwoman Kathleen Talbot. The city is expected to make its decision at a common council meeting Feb. 25. “Red House has a dynamic creative vision for the Paramount,” said Angell. “They are looking to hold 200 events a year, with a lot of weekday programming. That’s what we need in downtown Peekskill.” Heitmann, who runs CP Communications, an Elmsford-based production equipment company, was the only bidder that would run the theater as a for-profit venture, with a nonprofit subsidiary attached to benefit community arts. Red House Entertainment was recently formed for the purpose of running the Paramount.

The 1,024-seat Paramount, owned by the city, closed last October and Paramount Center for the Arts Inc., the nonprofit that ran the theater, dissolved in November facing a $300,000 budget shortfall. This year, Peekskill put out a request for proposal (RFP) for a group to lease the city-owned facility. The other two bidders were Paramount Phoenix Group, led by Peekskill restaurateur Arnold Paglia, and the Tarrytown Music Hall. Red House estimates that it will produce $1.8 million in revenue its first year, with losses of $370,000. Angell said they were impressed by Red House’s plans for the Paramount, including broadcasting on radio a series of concerts live from the Paramount. “This would raise the profile of the city of Peekskill,” Angell said. Heitmann said he was excited and ready to work out a lease agreement with the city. He thinks his group’s business expertise put Red House at the top. “The theater needs to be run as a business,” Heitmann said. “We were very indepth with what artists and events we would have. We put a lot of time into it. We just didn’t give them a hypothetical. We were very detailed.” Running the theater as a nonprofit has its constraints, which is why Heitmann wanted

to run it as a for-profit venue. “Nonprofits have dried up,” Heitmann said. “The grants and foundations aren’t there. You can’t rely on goodwill. Donors and sponsors have been burned by the Paramount already.” Heitmann said he would work out a rent agreement with the city, but is hoping to forgo rent for the first six months and said they would share ticket revenues. “We really feel like it needs to be a partnership,” Heitmann said. “It needs to be busy. What’s the goal here? What can the Paramount be? My goal is to make it an economic engine for downtown Peekskill. I want it to be the crown jewel of Peekskill and the Hudson Valley.” Foster was among those who praised the Red House bid, saying that its bid provides the city with the greatest economic advantage. “We feel this will create a dynamic and unique vision for our downtown,” Foster said. “They have a vision for Paramount as not just a music venue but as a real business. It’s not just about shows and performances on Friday and Saturday.” Foster said it was important that the bid had a solid business plan and was not looking for anything from the city, and said Red House will coordinate its programs with downtown businesses.

“This will become the cultural destination of the Hudson Valley,” Foster said. “This will enhance the reputation of Peekskill as a cultural hub.” Angell said that while the Tarrytown Music Hall has had success in Tarrytown, he was concerned about the number of programs they would run in Peekskill. The Tarrytown Music Hall projected the Paramount earning $650,000 in revenue by the second year, compared to the $2.7 million generated by the music hall. Tarrytown Music Hall would absolve the Paramount into its organization, with the Paramount only having one seat on the Tarrytown Music Hall’s board of directors. “We were really pushing for equal representation,” Angell said. “We want to make sure that we would receive the same priority and programs. Tarrytown was resistant.” Angell said that Paramount Phoenix Group put together a strong bid, but was concerned that its programming was too niche, focusing on classical music, opera, fine arts, jazz and ballet. As executive director of the BID, Angell said that he sees the Paramount as the anchor of downtown Peekskill, and that weekday programming will be important for businesses to thrive. “It is an economic engine,” Angell said.

is a simple case of the lawmakers doing their due diligence before they agree to anything. “It’s a complicated process,” Harckham said. “We need to sort out the issues. That’s our responsibility to the people of Westchester and to the people who use and work at the park.” With that in mind, the board of legislators Feb. 13 invited Sustainable Playland along with three other bidders – Central Amusements International, Standard Amusements and Padia Company/Legoland – to the Little Theater of the Westchester County Center to present their visions for the park. Harckham said he wants to work collaboratively with County Executive Robert P. Astorino to ensure that Westchester residents get the best deal possible. “I see this as a collaborative parallel process,” Harckham said. “My goal is that we come together with one vision for the people of Westchester.” Astorino has made privatizing Playland a priority since he took office in 2010, when he issued a request for proposals to run the park. In addition to losing $3.4 million last year, Playland’s revenues have fallen 4.6 percent since 2010 with attendance dropping to half of what it was in 2005. Geoff Thompson, a spokesman for Sustainable Playland, said, “The process

ment driven by the federal Affordable care Act and in new York by a redesign of the Medicaid system. A total of 374 primary care physicians were needed by hospitals in 2012, representing 31 percent of the total physician need statewide. In 2011, primary care physicians accounted for 18 percent of that unmet need. normet hospitals reported a shortage of 143 primary care doctors, far exceeding unmet physician numbers in all other regions of the state. Long Island hospitals, which had the second highest unmet need, looked to recruit 62 primary care doctors last year. Yet only normet and its partner in suburban hospital advocacy, Long Island’s nassauSuffolk hospital council, recruited more physicians in 2011 than they lost to retirement or doctors’ relocations from the metropolitan area. hudson Valley hospitals reported a net recruitment gain of 98 physicians, while Long Island medical staffs gained 25 doctors.

appears to be moving forward. Everyone is interested, concerned or curious about the parallel process that the Board of Legislators has begun.” Thompson said that Sustainable Playland’s approach is the right one and the public hearing had overwhelming support for his group’s proposal. “We are trying to make it a year-round park with year-round activities,” Thompson said. “We will have all sorts of programs. The historic rides will be enhanced and repaired.” Thompson expressed concern about the process being dragged out and Playland’s revitalization being delayed. “We will continue to cooperate and pursue the completion of a management agreement,” Thompson said. “It would be really great if the legislators and county executive can come to an agreement. Playland needs to have a long-term future. Hopefully legislators can come to the same conclusion so we can move forward. We are ready to move forward.” Thompson said that the legislators approached Sustainable Playland and the other finalists about their proposals, but assumed that since Astorino issued the RFP and respondents responded to his office, that he would make the final recommendation. “I don’t see how it was illogical,” Thompson said. “No one went before the Board of Legislators.” When the Board of Legislators finishes their review process, Thompson said he is confident that they will choose Sustainable

Statewide, hospitals reported adding 2,399 physicians to their medical staffs in 2011. But those additions were offset by the departures of 2,283 doctors for employment elsewhere and the retirement of 246 physicians, leaving the state with a net loss of 130 physicians in 2011. the survey found an additional 281 doctors would retire by the end of 2012. Among hudson Valley hospitals surveyed, 88 percent cited a shortage of primary care doctors in the region, while 69 percent said physicians here are aging out of their practices. hAnYS officials pointed to a report last summer by the state center for health Workforce Studies in Albany that only 28 percent of doctors in the state provide primary care to their patients, compared with 32 percent nationally. the state’s primary-care shortage could worsen, as at least 15 percent of primary care physicians in new York are over 65. More than 3,000 primary care physicians likely will retire in the next few years, according to the report. reflecting a national trend in the changing health care landscape, 57 percent of the doctors that joined hospital medical staffs in 2011 were directly employed by the hospitals. that

is a 20 percent jump from physician hiring by new York hospitals the previous year. hospital-employed doctors represented 24 percent of total physician employment in new York in 2011, up from 22 percent in 2010.

needed construction jobs are at stake. “Thousands of workers who will one day draw paychecks from Playland’s construction and operations are again forced to sit on the sidelines while elected officials grandstand under the guise of public scrutiny,” Pepe said. “Approve a plan so that our residents can get back to work.” Harckham said, “We’re not going to apologize for doing our due diligence.

This is one of the most spectacular pieces of property you’re ever going to find.” Tom Staudter, spokesman for Democrats on the Board of Legislators, said that the deal with Sustainable Playland was a quick backdoor decision that the public had little chance to weigh in on. He accused Astorino’s office of working diligently to make sure that Playland doesn’t succeed. “The marketing budget is the same as it was in 1987,” Staudter said. “There are no TV or radio ads. We could be running this park and making money. There are things that could’ve been done better.” McCormack said that the citizens’ advisory committee commissioned to review the bids included four legislators, two of them Democrats. “The transparency has been unprecedented,” McCormack said. “It’s so important to have the public on board. We welcome the board’s due diligence. We have to move forward, we picked a winner.” As the process continues, Playland readies for its 85th season with a job fair set March 9 at the Westchester County Center in White Plains. And although the Ice Casino and sections of the boardwalk remain closed due to damage incurred by Hurricane Sandy, opening day for the park is May 11.

ment also helps with physician retention.” Yet the migration of doctors from solo or group practices to hospital employment has moved at a slower pace in Westchester and the hudson Valley. At normet hospitals, 43 percent of doctors joining medical staffs in 2011 were directly employed by those hospitals, compared with 30 percent in 2010. hospital-hired doctors accounted for 14 percent of physicians practicing in the region in 2011, up 2 percent from the previous year. In contrast, Long Island hospitals directly hired 79 percent of the physicians added to their medical staffs in 2011. hospitalemployed doctors represented 23 percent of physicians practicing in nassau and Suffolk counties in 2011, a 4 percent increase from 2010. As thousands of new Yorkers are expected to gain health insurance coverage in 2014, “our hospitals and health care systems already indicate a dramatic need for primary care physicians throughout the state,” hAnYS President daniel Sisto said in a statement accompanying the survey. “new York state must have a comprehensive strategy to address this shortage and ensure all new Yorkers have access to care.”

Panelists advocate diligence, patience for entrepreneurs BY pAtRicK GAllAGHER pgallagher@westfairinc.com

n the late 1950s, attorney Jerome I. Feldman was among the co-founders of National Patent Development Corp., which aimed to seek out and develop dormant patents. National Patent’s stock debuted at $1 in 1961. A decade later, the company’s stock traded at more than $400 after the FDA approved the first soft contact lens, which National Patent was instrumental in developing. But Feldman, who resides in Bedford, acknowledged he experienced his share of failures as well. While CEO of National Patent, the company agreed to buy a unit “from a large corporation called WorldCom,” Feldman said at a Feb. 14 roundtable discussion hosted by the Business Journal. “What we did not know, but we should have, because our due diligence sucked, was they cooked the books.” At the Feb. 14 roundtable, Feldman, fellow entrepreneur Neil Rosen and author Jim Muehlhausen discussed the trials, tribulations and pitfalls of starting and growing a business for more than 200 local business representatives in attendance. The event, which centered around a discussion of Muehlhausen’s book “The 51 Fatal

From left, Jerome I. Feldman, Jim Muehlhausen and Neil Rosen.

Business Errors and How to Avoid Them,” was hosted by the Business Journal and Wag magazine at the Renaissance Westchester Hotel in West Harrison. From developing a business plan and hiring staff to fundraising and seeking out business partnerships, the three panelists emphasized the significance of conducting due diligence. “Due diligence is key to any business,” said Rosen, who founded online marketing firm eWayDirect in Southport, Conn., in 2001. His bout with failure came in the mid1990s. At the time, the National School Reporting Services – a company Rosen founded that provided information on school districts to relocating families – was growing “very nicely.”

But it went downhill from there, Rosen said. “We decided a great way to expand the business would be to do some franchising, and then we got involved with the wrong franchise partner,” Rosen said. “We did not do enough due diligence and ended up with a franchisee in California that basically stole all of our data that we provided – and we spent a lot of money collecting data every year.” National School Reporting Services was sold in 1999 to Central Newspapers. Feldman, who retired as CEO of National Patent several years ago and who has since served as chairman of former National Patent subsidiary and software developer GSE Systems, said it’s important that entrepreneurs have short memories.

“You need an enormous amount of energy and (the ability) to forget the prior disaster, the one you just did not succeed in and just go on ahead,” he said. Rosen said the most important characteristic of a successful entrepreneur is the ability to delegate tasks. “Being able to not have control, manage, run, oversee, micromanage, everything else, every day,” he said. That requires business entrepreneurs to constantly evaluate whether their employees are the right people to take a business to the next level, Rosen said. “It’s not always a question of good people versus bad people: it’s a question of … how do you get your company at its current stage of growth to get the right people who are going to help you get to the next level,” he said.

Make a deal

Deals we thought were in the bag have suddenly been put on hold. It feels like sales are flying out the window. Have to get things turned around, or next quarter could be really ugly. Help!

Thoughts of the Day: Quickly evaluate facts. Look for trends and fixes. Get creative. Forecast realistically. Decide if you have to get aggressive with hiring additional resources. Look at the big picture. How many deals have been lost? How many more are vulnerable? What’s the number and percentage of deals and dollars? Get facts on contributing factors. Why are you losing deals? Did the sector get soft? Is a competitor making a big move? Did your product or service just become obsolete? Review lost and vulnerable deals. Are you talking to the top decision maker or can you move further up the food chain? Are they cancelling with your company altogether, or just this order? Is the order lost or just delayed? Is there an appeal process? Have

ask andi by andi gray

budgeted dollars been re-allocated or can they still be tapped? Is there a P.O. or contract? Were there cancellation terms? Build solutions. Find out what customers wanted and what got in the way of achieving that. Make them offers they can’t refuse. Cash flow an issue? If your balance sheet is stronger than your clients’, consider financing a portion of the deal – as long as you’re sure they’ll be able to pay off the debt long term. And dump the unprofitable clients, fast. Look at the profit on each cancelled order. That’s what you’re trying to protect. Is there a less expensive way to deliver that allows you to lower price and protect gross and net margin? Customer worried about obsolescence? Commit some of the profit on this deal to future R&D dedicated to that customer. Sign a multi-order contract to seal the deal. Competitive threat? Investigate the intruder. Where are they weak? Make a counter offer. Consider partnering with another company that has deeper ties to the client, and give them a piece of the action if they can help you close your deal. Not talking to the decision maker?

Shame on you! Go over the buyer’s head with compelling reasons why your product or service is a better solution. Protect price on orders placed before a specific date – even if delivery is planned out into the future. Bundle discounts if the client places multiple orders. Lock up orders with cancellation penalties. Don’t take “no” for an answer. Just because this order was lost, don’t go away. Ask what went wrong. If you caused the problem, fix it – and tell you former customer when it’s fixed. Send over case studies from satisfied customers as proof that things are going well. Ask the lost customer for the next order, and the one after that. Be persistent, even to the point of annoying. If you’ve already been cut, you have nothing to lose. Put together a forecast. Change probabilities based on what you’re learning about existing losses. Multiply contract value by the revised probably close percentage to get a deal-by-deal pipeline value. Compare that to the sales needed for the next 12 months. Are you close? If sales are way off, put your foot down on the accelerator before things get even worse. Form a sales swat team. If you need

to hire additional sales resources, start with customer service. They can protect existing contracts and look for expansion opportunities. Boost marketing activities to fill the pipeline with cold and warm leads. Then assess if you have enough feet on the street, looking for new opportunities. Hire multiline commissioned reps who are already selling similar, but non-competitive products or services to your prospects. Finally, add to payroll sales people who have been tested and who show high potential for delivering the sales you need. Looking for a good book?

Culinary Institute of America opens another restaurant BY tARicE l.s. GRAY tgray@westfairinc.com

he Culinary Institute of America (CIA) opened the Bocuse Restaurant Feb. 19 in Hyde Park, promoting its ninth restaurant as a learning lab for students. Bocuse features contemporary French fare and gives patrons the opportunity to experience French cuisine created with modern techniques. Students staffing the restaurant will be applying their foundation of classic French training and also expanding their knowledge of craft by experimenting with cutting-edge methods and presentations. After 40 years in operation, CIA closed the doors of its flagship Escoffier Restaurant in July 2012. The culinary school reopened it as the Bocuse Restaurant, named for acclaimed chef Paul Bocuse, CIA’s Chef of the Century for 2011. The curriculum for the students is designed to reflect Bocuse’s teachings. Stephan Hengst, spokesman for the CIA, said Escoffier needed a facelift, and the school also felt compelled to pay homage to Bocuse. “Bocuse contributed to the industry and help shape how it is today,” said Hengst. “He pioneered the chef-owned restaurant and was the first person that was a true celebrity chef.” Bocuse also helped develop concepts that are crucial to the contemporary kitchen, like farm-to-table cooking and preparing food that is in season. The restaurant’s classic French menu selections include roasted rack and epigram of lamb and potato crusted lemon sole, with contemporary twists. Other dishes on the menu include crisp frog legs orly style and lobster bisque. The Bocuse kitchen was built as a classroom first and a restaurant second, modeled in such a way so it can teach best practices and future technologies the CIA believes will shape and propel the food service industry. The restaurant is open Tuesdays through Saturdays for lunch and dinner and is among the CIA’s family of five public restaurants in the metro New York area.

EYE ON BIO

Eye drug drives eye-popping company growth

The state’s largest biotechnology company, Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Greenburgh, ended its first full year of profitability with $415 million in fourth-quarter revenue and $1.4 billion in revenue for all of 2012. The company’s quarterly and annual revenue were up 237 percent and 214 percent respectively from fourth-quarter and full-year revenue in 2011. Regeneron reported about $470.4 million in fourth-quarter net income, after losing $53.4 million in the same quarter in 2011. Net income for 2012 was approximately $750.3 million, compared with income losses that totaled about $221.8 million in 2011. Headquartered on The Landmark at Eastview life sciences campus, Regeneron saw its explosive growth driven by U.S. sales of Eylea, a drug injected in the eye for treatment of macular diseases. The company reported net Eylea sales of $276 million in the fourth quarter and $838 million for all

of 2012. Bayer Healthcare, Regeneron’s foreign markets collaborator on Eylea, reported $19 million in net product sales outside the U.S. in the last fourth quarter. Eylea in November was approved in the European Union and received pricing approval in Japan for use by patients with wet macular degeneration. Bayer HealthCare in 2012 paid Regeneron $25 million in milestone payments for foreign regulatory approvals of Eylea and Zaltrap, a drug used intravenously for patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Regeneron last year also received a $50 million milestone payment for Zaltrap from the company’s Paris-based global collaborator, Sanofi. Since sales of Zaltrap began in the U.S. last August, Sanofi recorded net sales of $32 million for 2012, including $23 million in the fourth quarter. Sanofi this month received approval in the European Union for Zaltrap’s use in a chemotherapy infusion. The approval was soon followed by Sanofi’s notice that it plans to buy Regeneron stock at a volume that will give it more than $500 million of voting shares. Sanofi’s partnership agreement with Regeneron limits the French company’s stock purchases to no more than 30 percent of Regeneron’s outstanding shares. Dr. Leonard Schleifer, Regeneron president and CEO, in the recent company report called 2012 “a truly transformative year”

for the company he founded 25 years ago. With Eylea recently approved in the U.S. for an additional use in treatment of macular disease and recently encoded in Medicare prescription billing, Schleifer said the company forecasts net sales of Eylea in the U.S. this year at $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion.

Generic drugs dent sales, but Acorda ends 2012 ‘strong’

Acorda Therapeutics Inc., the Ardsley-based biotechnology company, expects net revenue from its drug for multiple sclerosis patients to rise at a slower pace in 2013 than in 2012, when revenue from the company’s 3-year-old Ampyra brand jumped about 26 percent from the previous year. Net revenue from Ampyra, an extended release tablet used to improve walking in MS patients, totaled $72.7 million in the last fourth quarter, up $15.5 million or 27 percent from the fourth quarter of 2011. For the year, Ampyra net revenue was $266.1 million in 2012, compared with $210.5 million in 2011. The company expects net revenue from Ampyra of $285 million to $315 million in 2013, an increase of 7 percent to 18 percent from 2012. Acorda’s fourth quarter net income of approximately $133 million, or $3.27 of diluted earnings share, was largely account-

ed by a nearly $131.2 million benefit from deferred tax assets. That compared with net revenue of $12.7 million, or 32 cents per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2011. Acorda’s fourth quarter income before taxes amounted to approximately $1.1 million last year, compared with $12.9 million in pre-tax income in the same quarter of 2011. The 2012 launch of generic versions of Acorda’s Zanaflex capsules, used to treat spasticity in neurological patients, resulted in a 49 percent drop in annual sales revenue from Zanaflex products, from $45.8 million in 2011 to $23.5 million in 2012. Fourth-quarter revenue last year from prescription sales of Zanaflex and Acorda sales of the generic drug to a pharmaceutical company totaled $5.2 million, a 56 percent decline from Zanaflex revenue in the last quarter of 2011, before generic versions went on the market. Acorda Chief Financial Officer david Lawrence reported the company was cash flow positive in 2012 and closed the year in a strong financial position with $333.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and shortterm and long-term investment. That was up $14.5 million from the third quarter last year and up $37.3 million from the close of 2011. Acorda in 2012 spent $53.9 million in research and development, up 28 percent or $11.8 million from 2011. Some of those costs were related to the company’s $6.8 Continued on next page

million acquisition of Neuronex Inc. that closed in December. The North Carolinabased company is the developer of a diazepam nasal spray for epileptic patients, for which Acorda plans to apply for U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval this year and could commercially launch in 2014. Acorda expects research and development expenses this year in the range of $60 million to $70 million. “We believe we have one of the most interesting neurology pipelines in the industry,” Dr. ronald Cohen, president and CEO of Acorda Therapeutics, said in a press release included with the NASDAQ-traded company’s quarterly and annual report. In addition to its nasal spray drug application, Acorda anticipates having three clinicalstage drug trial programs by the middle of this year, Cohen noted. “The continued growth of Ampyra, coupled with near-term pipeline milestones, has created the potential for meaningful growth in shareholder value,” he said. Acorda last year relocated its headquarters from Hawthorne to the Ardsley Park life science campus in the town of Greenburgh. In an annual independent survey of best companies to work for in New York, Acorda in 2012 ranked seventh among large companies with more than 250 employees.

Food Bank combats hunger with new mobile food pantry BY tARicE l.s. GRAY tgray@westfairinc.com

t the new Stop & Shop grocery store in Tarrytown, officials recently gathered to launch the newest weapon against hunger in Westchester County: the Food Bank for Westchester’s Kraft Mobile Food Pantry. The much-anticipated food truck could fulfill a promise made years ago. In 2008, Kraft Foods Foundation pledged $4.5 million to purchase 25 refrigerated trucks as part of an effort to address the growing population of hungry Americans. This month, the Food Bank for Westchester became the latest recipient of a 26-foot truck capable of distributing 10,000 pounds of food. It is part of a growing fleet of mobile pantries aimed at keeping up with the need for food. The truck, which had its first stop at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Port Chester Feb. 16, will give the Food Bank a chance to access the needy where they live. Rick Rakow, president and CEO of Rakow Commercial Realty Group and Food Bank for Westchester board chairman, said despite the fact that Westchester is one of the wealthiest counties in New York, hunger is a growing problem. “The demand for emergency food rose 45 percent over the past three years,” Rakow said. “Westchester Food Bank responded to 102,000 requests for food each month and distributed 7 million pounds of food per year and yet it was not enough.” The Hunger Action Network of New York State, a statewide, membership-based anti-hunger coalition, reported that from 2007 to 2009, roughly 12.4 percent of state residents struggled with hunger. That’s an increase from 9.4 percent from 2004 to 2006. In Westchester County, an estimated 200,000 people don’t have enough food, according to the Food Bank. Sandra Lee, Food Network host and best-selling author, grew up as part of that population. She was on hand at the Feb. 14 launch of the mobile food pantry. Since moving to New York, Lee has become a visible advocate for the poor and hungry because of her own struggles. “I was raised on welfare. I’m not ashamed of that,” she said. “I think it gave me a great advantage to understanding what people really think and how they feel.” Rakow said the Food Bank understands the complex problem of hunger and nutrition. “This Kraft food vehicle is going to enable us to do more to get more fresh food out and better access for

people,” Rakow said. “It is a choice pantry on wheels.” For its part, Stop & Shop supermarkets held a food drive to stock the mobile pantry. Arlene Putterman, a spokeswoman for Stop & Shop’s New York metropolitan division, said the company’s role in the mobile pantry program is part of a longstanding commitment to sponsoring hunger initiatives. “We are the first major grocery chain in Westchester County to provide frozen meat recovery from all of our stores in this area,” she said. “Last year we provided 35,000 pounds of good quality protein to the food bank for distribution to the hungy.” The mobile pantry is scheduled to appear at 36 sites throughout the county.

ANDREA STEWART-COUSINS TO SPEAK AT WCA POLITICAL FRIDAY BREAKFAST MARCH 15 | 8 AM | MERCY COLLEGE

Our lawmakers in Albany have some mighty big issues on their plates these days—pension reform, fracking, gun control, a minimum wage increase, school aid…the list goes on. And while the debates can be endlessly fascinating, so are the behind-the-scenes machinations— especially in the NY State Senate, where the Republicans cut a deal with five breakaway Democrats in order to keep some semblance of a majority. Meanwhile, State Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins, a Democrat representing Yonkers, Greenburgh, Scarsdale, and parts of White Plains, and the first woman to be named Senate Minority Leader, will be one to watch. Undoubtedly, she’ll have some interesting maneuvering to do to with the renegade Democrats as she tries to move her agenda forward. And, what about policies that encourage economic development in Westchester (and the rest of the state)? We might just find out on March 15 at the WCA’s “Political Friday” breakfast, our popular series that gives you access, information, and a chance to ask questions of those who serve. So, if you’re a political junkie or just plain interested in news you can use, join us! Sign up at events@westchester.org

THE BEST $55 ($70) YOU’LL EVER SPEND If you’re like most people, the more info you get about next year’s new healthcare rules, the more you want to relegate it to “I’ll-look-atit-next-year-when-I-absolutely-must.” But in 2014, if you cannot prove that you carry healthcare insurance and/or provide it for your employees (according to the guidelines set forth), the penalties and tax ramifications for you as an individual, or you as a business owner, or you as a corporation with more than 50 employees, will be so great, you’ll be creating endless misery for yourself. We’ve got a solution: Come to our special Lunch and Learn on Thursday, February 28, 11:30–2 pm, at Tappan Hill, when our panel of experts will help guide you through the healthcare reform thicket.

“I look forward to receiving their counsel and feedback as WCA strengthens its efforts to advocate for healthcare transformation, government reform, the development of young professionals and economic growth in the region.”

($70 for non members) investment you’ll make this year. “The more information you have and know, the better off you’ll be,” advises Amy Allen, WCA Managing Director of Advocacy & International Business. “The reality is, information is power. So, when it comes time to make decisions about healthcare insurance next year, the more you know, the greater confidence you’ll have in your decision.”

Special thanks to Ken Theobalds, Entergy, and the entire Nominating Committee for their hard work.

The program is sponsored by Citrin Cooperman & Company; Compufit, Inc.; Mahopac National Bank; and The Maxon Companies. The luncheon event is open to the public and registration is available at www.westchester.org

SPECIAL construction REPORT & development

Westchester Community College opens its newly revamped student center By TARICE L.S. GRAY tgray@westfairinc.com

fter a $19 million renovation that took more than a year to complete, Westchester Community College’s students and faculty can enjoy the completely revamped student center at the school’s main campus in Valhalla. The student center reopened Feb. 6, and although the renovation process was long, the outcome is something the school celebrates. Walking up to the stone-covered walls of the building, Kevin Garvey, facilities director for Westchester Community College (WCC), noted the new student center maintained the architectural integrity of the campus in its decade-long reconstruction. In the late 1990s, WCC officials determined it was time to plot out the renovation process, said Garvey. They worked their way from building to building, including renovating the library and expanding the Ossining and Peekskill campuses. Approximately 18 months ago, they started on the threephase student center project. “The cafeteria was open during the entire construction phasing,” noted Garvey. Keeping facilities open “does prolong the whole process … but it felt better,” he said. The access to the cafeteria was appreciated by the students, who also understood the need for a renovation, Garvey explained, as the college’s student center had not been renovated in decades. The school had done little more than replace air conditioning units or offer Band-Aid fixes to long-standing problems. The complete redesign of the center added an additional 9,000 square feet, bringing the total amount of space to roughly 57,000 square feet. The expansion added “more student life space,” said Garvey during a walkthrough of the newly opened center. “The majority of the new space is dedicated to the students. There’s a push-out (extension) at the front of the building with new windows and inside there’s four lounge spaces for students to lounge.” The center can now accommodate between 400 and 500 students and has been updated to include Wi-Fi. Garvey added the center was “totally reconfigured to be more inviting and less institutional, with less walls to create an open setting.” The state-of-the-art cafeteria and lounge area near the center’s entrance sits just across from the Crème Café, a grab-and-go suited for coffee and snacks. Around the corner from the cafeteria is the culinary arts kitchen area, with two fully redesigned and updated cooking facilities and a separate computer lab dedicated to the culinary program. “Students cater meals for the public and for the campus community for a nominal fee. It’s all restaurant-

quality meals,” said Garvey. Upstairs, another lounge sits just outside of a meditation room. The quiet room shares the floor with a personnel office and a social work and counseling office. In the basement is a security command center as well as the student-run newspaper. The college radio station just moved in last week. The center also has a fully functioning infirmary, which replaces a nurse’s office that Garvey said was a third of the infirmary’s size. The new building is environmentally friendly with sustainable materials and high-efficiency units. The glass windows, which offer more natural light, are considered kind to the environment, Garvey said. He added the site has an HVAC system with building materials that have fewer volatile organic components. “Also, there’s no more carpeting left in here as part of the environmentally conscious theme,” he said. The renovations continue for WCC as the health science building is now in the design phase. For now, students are able to enjoy their new center, which is open seven days a week from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Kevin Garvey, facilities director for Westchester Community College (WCC), noted the new student center maintained the architectural integrity of the campus in its decade-long reconstruction.

n 87-unit senior housing project is being proposed in Pleasantville by Benchmark Senior Living, a Wellesley, Mass.-based provider of senior care. Benchmark has proposed to develop a 3.5-acre parcel behind the United Methodist Church at the intersection of Bedford and Maple Hill Roads as a 24,000-square-foot assisted living facility. Benchmark is in contract with the church to buy the property, contingent on receiving approvals from the village of Pleasantville. Benchmark filed an application with the village to create a floating zone that would allow assisted living on parcels larger than three acres. The Pleasantville Board of Trustees voted to make itself lead agency at its Feb. 11 meeting. “This is a wonderful opportunity,” said David Steinmetz of Zarin and Steinmetz, the White Plains law firm representing Benchmark. “It would create great jobs and wonderful ratables for the village.” Steinmetz said that Benchmark will spend this year doing a state environmental quality review assessment (SEQRA) for the village, and expects to begin construction in 2014. Benchmark did a demographic analysis of the area and found that there

is a strong demand for senior housing in Pleasantville and in northern Westchester. “There is an aging population here,” Steinmetz said. “I’ve personally seen a large demand for senior housing. This has proximity to the train station and shopping, with ready access to the highways. There are not a lot of assisted living beds in northern Westchester.” In response to complaints from residents and the New York state Department of Transportation, Benchmark changed the entrance point, using Bedford Road instead of Maple Hill Road. The Maple Hill Road entrance involved vehicles cutting through the church lot and was met with criticism from neighbors. Other residents have expressed concern about noise and other environmental impacts the project could have. Steinmetz said they met with 40 residents in the neighborhood before they submitted their application and plan to address environmental concerns in the SEQRA. “We certainly will review issues like noise,” Steinmetz said. “But I think it will have a low-impact use. The site will have to comply with all regulations, which it will.” Benchmark will meet with the planning commission Feb. 27 and expects to be back in front of the village board in April.

City planner named interim director of downtown BID Gregory Arcaro has been named the interim executive director of the Yonkers Downtown/ Waterfront Business Improvement District Inc. (BID). Arcaro is replacing Steve Sansone, who left in December to become deputy commissioner of the Yonkers parks, recreation and conservation department. The BID is a nonprofit that was created in 2002 to build working partnerships, encourage investment and support initiatives to improve downtown Yonkers,

particularly along the waterfront. The BID is a public private partnership with the city of Yonkers. Arcaro has worked as a city planner in community development since 1968 and spent the last four years as executive director of the community planning council of Yonkers. Arcaro has also taught planning, real estate and housing development courses at Lehman College and Purchase College. — Sam Barron

GOOD HAppENiNG iN AND THInGS ABout tHE HuDsoN vAllEY Gallery Director Rocky Pinciotti, is a display of aphoristic creations, which are marked by the use of few words to convey much meaning or information. The exhibition features a variety of artists and a variety of mediums that exemplify this principle, either overtly or subconsciously. Visiting hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. “Occasionally as I look through gallery entries, a common thread connecting artists and their work will appear,” says Pinciotti, who compiled the work in this show from submissions to the 2013 Alliance Gallery season. “The common thread this year was women whose work made strong and artistic statements with a minimal and concise artistic vocabulary.” The 10 artists in the exhibition are Phyllis Bilick, Miriam Hernandez, Ellen Kantro, Jessica Kinney, Hisako Kobayashi, Marjorie Morrow, Tiffanie Morrow, Lisa Strier, Ellen Wilkinson and Mary Grace Yanashot. For more information, call (845) 252-7576 or visit ArtsAllianceSite.org.

The just released Family Partnership Center Impact Assessment offers a deeper understanding of the center’s impact and contributions to thousands of residents from the city of Poughkeepsie, Dutchess County and the mid-Hudson region, according to Family Services CEO Brian Doyle. The study shows that the center hosts up to 43,000 client visits annually through its 18 programs and agencies designed to meet the numerous needs of the surrounding communities. Doyle said the data contained in the report are valuable in measuring the impact on the community. “But perhaps more compelling,” he said, “are the personal stories of people who through their determination and the work of the wonderful agencies within the Partnership Center have made better lives for themselves.” Last year more than 7,500 children, adults and families benefited from Family Services programs.

THE MISSING SUFFRAGETTE

Women voters and lovers of American history will discover the inside story of two of the suffrage movement’s founders during Women’s History Month when the background struggle between suffrage leaders Susan B. Anthony and Matilda Joslyn Gage is revealed on stage. The dialogue performance will be at the Rosendale Theater in Rosendale on March 22 at 7:30 p.m. Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton are celebrated as two of the founding mothers of the women’s suffrage movement. But who was Matilda Joslyn Gage? In her time she was considered a “founding mother” along with Anthony and Stanton. However, Gage was written out of history. The background drama will be explored by Sally Roesch Wagner, executive director of the Gage Center in Fayetteville, N.Y., and Deborah Hughes, president and CEO of the Anthony House in Rochester, who will present a dialogue that explores the split between two of the three suffrage

movement founders. The event is a joint presentation of the Susan B. Anthony House, The Matilda Joslyn Gage Center, and Votes For Women 2020. After the performance, the audience is invited to join the dialogue. Tickets are priced at $20.20(tax-deductible) and are available at rosendaletheater.org or the box office. Contact Steve Auerbach at (845) 256-0185 for more information
